Qing Chuanzhi's actor is reborn in the emperor's family
Chapter 131 Locust plague
"You still want to hit me, but it's really a skill."
Yinqi was tired and feverish, and spoke with a nasal voice. He coughed and stared powerlessly at the innocent Tanlang, and couldn't help but chuckled: "I'm kidding—but even if I can't beat you, I can't beat you, and you let me every time..."
"Master is already very powerful. I only dare to give up a little bit every time. If there is more, I will really be beaten by the master so that I will be ashamed of others."
Greedy Wolf smiled and replied in a gentle voice. Seeing Lian Zhen directing two people to bring in the bathtub smelling of medicine, he also helped Yin Qi who was dozing off on him in a daze: "Master, Soak for a while, drink the medicine and then rest, ah."
"What's the matter this time? Tell Lianzhen that you are not allowed to put vinegar on me anymore. The whole thing made me smell like vinegar everywhere I went. Master Yu chased after me and asked me if I had eaten dumplings for three days..."
Ever since he judged that there seemed to be something wrong with the way his Seven Star Guard grew up, Yinqi was very wary of anything Lian Zhen had cooked up—probably because the Seven Star Guard, who majored in medicine, had cooked a little too much. A good heir of a medical family has grown up like this, no wonder Seventh Master Uncle is a little unfriendly every time he sees him.
Tanlang was afraid that he would not be able to stand still, so he simply picked him up and carefully put him into the tub.Yinqi was carried around when he was a child, but now he has grown to 1.8 meters, and his body is not too weak, but he can still be hugged so easily. I can't help but feel that it hurts my self-esteem, but still Wisely gave up the idea of chasing each other and breaking their wrists - after all, in the previous life, he and the heroine often contradicted the script, and the plot of being hugged and hugged for no reason has been acted out several times. Being able to be smeared with all kinds of wolves howling in those few shots is quite popular with the audience.
Soaked in the slightly hot water, the slight discomfort on the body was temporarily covered up, and the last trace of fatigue dissipated.Yin Qi leaned against the wall of the barrel relaxedly, breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly closed his eyes and smiled lightly: "Tanlang, I want to understand."
"What?" Tanlang had just sent the outsiders out, when he heard the words, he subconsciously responded, closed the door, turned around and stood by the tub, took off his soaked underwear and put it aside.After tossing around for a while, Yin Qi also regained some energy. He was playing with a half-open bellflower in the water with great interest, slightly lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "Understood, although some things are destined, there are still other things. I can still do it, and there are still some results that I can try to change. The throne is just one, but there are many ways to live well. As long as they can figure it out - some things may not become what they were originally. ... If there is more entanglement, I will appear hypocritical."
"Master is not hypocritical, it's just that his heart softens too easily." Tanlang smiled warmly, soaked his hands in the water, and pushed his meridians in an orderly manner, "Don't look at the fact that the master is so angry with the eighth elder brother. I tried my best to torment him, but if I turned around and tormented Eighth Brother badly, I would feel awkward again."
"You're right—I really can't refute it..."
Yinqi tapped his forehead with a headache, pondered for a while, but suddenly realized something, and slapped his palm on the water: "No, you can't be soft-hearted when dealing with Lao Ba - he is different from other brothers, The ambition hidden in his chest can't be dispelled after one or two losses, don't fool me and then raise it high and put it down gently."
"Yes, yes, I will not fool the master." Tanlang couldn't help but chuckled, wiped the water splashed all over his face, and firmly carried the pot on his body without saying a word.But Yinqi couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, propping himself up on the edge of the bathtub, so that he could press it more easily: "Now it seems that this is a hole that the second brother dug a long time ago, just waiting for the old eight to jump in. Well... the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is probably an abandoned son, the second brother dares to be so unscrupulous and willing to cut his body, but the eighth brother has to cherish his feathers - I guess it is just a matter of these few days, Jiangnan asked for help The letter has to be sent back, there is no need to be stopped, I would like to see how the old man will react."
"En." Tanlang nodded in response, hesitating for a moment before probing again: "Master, the fourth elder brother—"
"It's not yet the end of the game, I don't think the fourth brother has thought about it - but the fourth brother has been working behind the prince these years, I am afraid that he has already been branded as a prince. He was young Jian Guo is now the king of the county, and if the crown prince falls, he will be the most powerful competitor, but the old eight may not be able to attack him now, he should pay more attention to it."
Thinking about it, Yin Qi spoke slowly, his fingertips slowly stroking the smooth and moist rim of the bucket, but his eyes darkened a little: "After so many years of indulgence, I can be regarded as worthy of the old eight's scrambling and scratching." If he is not satisfied with his painstaking efforts, he will have no choice but to hit his long memory—since Ma Qi is in the East Palace, the crown prince must have given him those evidences. If An Er told Su He the news about Beijing, it would be best to stimulate him to go to Beijing to ask the master for help, and then we will see what Lao Ba will do."
"Yes." Greedy Wolf responded, and followed Lian Zhen's instructions, opened a pack of medicinal powder and sprinkled it down, "Master, do we count as participating in the party struggle? If the emperor finds out, do you want to explain the whole story in advance? -"
"It is, but there is no need to explain." Yin Qi replied in a low voice, some complicated light flashed in the bottom of his eyes, but he was suppressed by him in a blink of an eye, "Huang Ama knew the old eight's intentions, but he hit him You didn't tell me at first, you just waited for my own reaction, and waited for me to be provoked by the old eighth to make a move—the left and right Huang Ama also allowed me to run free for so many years, and now she came back to help, and then Earning more than ten years of quiet life, but it is not something I can't bear..."
After soaking for a while, he stood up and dried himself. Yinqi also felt tired, so he explained a few more words, and fell asleep after drinking the medicine.Tanlang watched nervously by the side all night, but he didn't know whether Lian Zhen's medical skills had improved by leaps and bounds or his master's body had really improved a lot. Yin Qi woke up the next day with a low fever and the soreness from yesterday's excessive exertion Fatigue, unexpectedly there is no more discomfort, but it also makes the fifth elder brother who is ready to recuperate at home really embarrassed: "That's it... it's gone?"
"Is the low heat not enough?" Lian Zhen put down his wrist and looked back seriously, "If the master wants to make his face a little redder, this subordinate can cook a bowl of hot and sour noodles."
"...Forget it, you can eat by yourself." Yin Qi tugged at the quilt, and flatly rejected this seemingly very attractive suggestion - after all, he didn't show his face at the meeting today, and I'm afraid someone will come to visit him soon sick.If people saw him sweating profusely and eating noodles, the scene would most likely fail.
Thinking in my heart, someone really came to the door.Yin Qi was originally a perennial patient, as long as the old thirteen, that stinking boy about tearing down the stage, was not here, he would be confident that he could fool him, immediately tore off the clothes he was wearing, and leaned back against the soft bed following the strength of Tan Lang On the pillow, she lowered her voice slightly and said, "Who, what's the matter?"
"Master Yu's messenger said that there is an urgent letter from [-] li..."
"..." I felt like I was winking at the blind man, and the fifth elder brother, who had failed in his teacher, tore off his clothes and threw it by the side in anger, wishing to open Master Yu's head to see if there was any pretending inside. A pile of potatoes: "Baoding Mansion is not even eight hundred miles away from here! What needs to be urged every day? Bring it in and ask. If you are urging me to go back again, tell him the old man in autumn." I don't plan to go back!"
"Master, master—calm down, you'll have to pretend to be sick later, and you'll be revealing yourself..."
Fearing that his master would make a show like this, Tan Lang hurriedly slowed down his voice to comfort him, and signaled his servants to bring the messenger in quickly.Yinqi was angry with his mouth, but he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he didn't care about it. Looking at the messy look of the messenger man covered in dust, he couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, letting go. Slowing down the voice, he said, "Help me down to drink some water, and bring me the letter to read."
"Fifth Lord—you should go back quickly, something serious has happened!"
The courier ignored the person who came up to help him. He just slammed his head against the couch and handed the letter to him with both hands: "The locust plague—a big locust plague that I haven't seen in 50 years! I have worked so hard for so long. Nothing, nothing..."
There was a buzzing sound in Yinqi's mind, and his eyes suddenly went dark for a moment, he propped himself up and snatched the letter over.He had only heard about locust plagues in books. He heard that the real locust plague almost covered the sky, and a single locust swarm could eat up the crops of a village. What's more, the local granaries and warehouses could not escape. This frenziedly hungry locust swarm would not leave even a single blade of grass in its crossing. If the area was any larger, they would not even be able to supply food from neighboring provinces.Now it is a scorching summer, there is a big disaster first, and it is always easy to break out a big epidemic. Once there is a big chaos in Zhili, the price of food in the capital will inevitably fluctuate, and the consequences are completely unimaginable...
"Understood, let's take it down to rest for a while, and the master will ask him to answer after reading it."
Greedy Wolf gave a gentle command, watched the servants help the messenger down to rest, then walked quickly to his master's side.Yin Qi knelt on the couch, holding the letter paper inside tightly with one hand, his voice was almost hoarse, and his eyes were already dark: "The four prefectures and ten prefectures are in an emergency, the sky is covered by locusts, and the ground is five inches..."
There are only seven prefectures and twelve prefectures in Zhili, which is more than half of the land - not to mention that the locusts have grown wings. Apart from setting fire to seal the fields, nothing can stop the group of hungry and crazy insects...
"Go back now - send someone to deliver this letter to Eunuch Liang, he knows what to do."
Yinqi jumped down from the couch, his eyes were burning, and even the original look of fatigue was completely gone: "Before the court quarrels come to an end, Lian Zhen prepares the horse, greedy wolf, let's hurry up!" Hurry back!"
Lian Zhen responded and quickly walked out of the room, Tan Lang helped him put on his clothes, hesitated for a while and said: "Master, the emperor has probably received the urgent report from Zhili, why do you want to send this private letter?" Also send it over—why not tell the emperor before leaving?"
"It is absolutely impossible to write such a big disaster in the booklet. Once it is clearly written, the hearts of the people in the court will float, and there is no guarantee that something will be thought of. There is no chaos in Xingzhili, but in the capital. Get messed up first."
Yinqi fastened the buttons, straightened his clothes, let Tanlang tidy up his hair, sighed softly, and said, "Huang Ama wants to protect me, so she won't let me get into these troubles." Not to mention that I just revealed that I was sick, and according to Huang Ama's style, I will only be locked at home and not allowed to go out - I can only take advantage of Huang Ama's reaction Just get away quickly before coming over, how can you bump into it by yourself?"
"..." Greedy Wolf was left speechless, and looked at his master with admiration for years of battling wits and courage with the emperor, who has accumulated incomparably rich experience in fighting, and nodded convincedly: "Master is right... "
The two of them hardly stayed in the mansion for half an hour, and after receiving the letter, they rode straight out of the city gate, heading all the way towards Baoding Mansion, completely unaware of the chaos in the capital after they left——Yu Chenglong Of course, I didn't dare to play the report as it was. The notes had already been cut in half after considering the situation, but they still stirred up a hurricane when the court was neutral.
The officials who were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the fifth elder brother allowed the people to open up wasteland jumped up again at this time, insisting that the locust plague was caused by opening up wasteland, and the potatoes took up a lot of the original good fields. In the event of a locust plague, there is very little food left, and now half of them are planting the things that are not food for food. I am afraid that it will inevitably affect the food price fluctuations in central Beijing.
I don't know how it was directed, half of these accusations were directed at the fifth elder brother who was the "culprit", and the other half was poured on the fourth elder brother who supported the fifth master at that time, especially the household department. The officials are the most.Amidst the furious denunciation, the always cold-faced and cold-hearted King Yong just brushed off his sleeves, glanced at the group of bouncing officials, walked out of the class slowly and lowered his eyes and said: "There is a saying in the ancient book 'Drought Extremely locusts'. Zhili has been in severe drought for more than two months, and the running water has dried up, which will lead to locust plagues—according to the meaning of the adults, could it be that the locust eggs were turned out when the land was opened up in winter, and experienced the bitter cold of winter, Exposure to the sun in summer, so they hatch in groups, is it a disaster?"
"This is really 'swarms of locusts come from the scorching sun, and disasters come from the bitter cold'. Your lords are really good at learning—be sure to cover some sun when you go back, so as not to be full of books in the sun and become A stomach full of locusts flew out!"
Brother Thirteen sneered, and raised his voice to sneer mercilessly.He grew up with Yinqi since he was a child, but he has learned the ability of this poisonous tongue without hesitation, and he can speak so poisonously that people want to hit the wall.Kangxi looked at this son, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he was quickly suppressed by Shen Se, and glanced at the group of officials who were choked speechless: "absurd! , Don’t even know how to farm and dare to point fingers at the court, do you have other plans?!”
These words are absolutely unbearable. The officials who had been clamoring before were silent for a moment, and they knelt down on the ground to plead guilty.The eighth elder brother on the side seemed to stare for a moment, but only in the blink of an eye, he recovered his usual gentleness and calmness, and leaned over and said, "Huang Ama, in my opinion, it's not a matter of arguing over whose fault this locust plague is." When it’s time, let’s discuss how to relieve the disaster and bring peace to the people first, as for other matters—it’s not too late to discuss later.”
"According to what your starling thinks, this locust plague has to find someone who made a mistake—this is really weird, why don't you find out the locust's mother and ask who is its father?"
As soon as Yinxiang's voice fell, there was a faint gasp of suppressed laughter from the court.Kangxi rubbed his forehead with some headaches, and couldn't help but think of the worry in his heart about whether Yinqi would mess up the court - but now it's a good thing, that stinky boy always runs underneath and doesn't face him Son, he actually taught him a person who will continue to work hard to succeed, dutifully took over the banner when his brother was away, and every time he had a good court meeting, he was messed up by these two brothers: "Yinxiang, What kind of decency is there in the court, why don't you shut up!"
As long as he is not facing his fifth elder brother, Yinxiang's unscrupulous and desperate Thirteenth Lang's energy is even difficult for his fourth elder brother to control.Kangxi is always reprimanded but not angry, showing connivance and even a hint of encouragement. Every time the thirteenth elder brother sees anyone who speaks ill of his fourth brother and fifth brother, he will go back without saying a word. Anyway, he will admit his mistake That is to say, this set of procedures has long been very used to, and immediately slapped his sleeves neatly: "Huang Ama, I know I was wrong."
Looking at the saluting posture of this little thirteen that is exactly the same as his brother, Kangxi's eyes softened for a moment, and then pretended to sink his face and said: "Next time if you do it again, I will go back to your Fengtai camp to train soldiers , You don’t need to come again this morning.”
"Hey, my son remembers it, and I will never do it again in the future."
Yinxiang answered in a loud voice, got up obediently and retreated behind his fourth brother, standing straight with his eyes, nose, nose, mouth and heart.The eighth elder brother's complexion is already a little bit bad - the old thirteen's words are clearly unreasonable, but even if Huang Ama is clearly biased, he can only pinch his nose to admit it, and follow suit Kneeling down on the sleeves, he said, "Huang Ama, I didn't mean that, I just said it casually. I just want to say—the most urgent thing now is how to plan disaster relief and countermeasures..."
He has already been thrown into a mess from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and this one can't be thrown off his head no matter what.This locust plague is even more troublesome than the flood disaster. The locusts grow wings and can fly. It is impossible to predict where the next disaster will be. We can only wait for them to be eaten up before releasing food for disaster relief. This kind of thing is only the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother. They were the two who fought against the Ministry of Households in order to open up wasteland and avoid taxes. Now they go back to stockpile food in disgrace. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is inevitable that it will spread Some are not very nice.
"Huang Ama, since the eighth brother is so enthusiastic about disaster relief—I have a humble opinion, you might as well hand over the errands of the punishment department to the old thirteen, and ask the old eight to go to the grain. After all, he is in charge of the household department. This is what he should be in charge of..."
The crown prince, who had seldom spoken at court meetings these years, suddenly came out, his tone was rare and serious, and there was a cruel and cold smile in his eyes looking at the eighth elder brother.
Yinqi was tired and feverish, and spoke with a nasal voice. He coughed and stared powerlessly at the innocent Tanlang, and couldn't help but chuckled: "I'm kidding—but even if I can't beat you, I can't beat you, and you let me every time..."
"Master is already very powerful. I only dare to give up a little bit every time. If there is more, I will really be beaten by the master so that I will be ashamed of others."
Greedy Wolf smiled and replied in a gentle voice. Seeing Lian Zhen directing two people to bring in the bathtub smelling of medicine, he also helped Yin Qi who was dozing off on him in a daze: "Master, Soak for a while, drink the medicine and then rest, ah."
"What's the matter this time? Tell Lianzhen that you are not allowed to put vinegar on me anymore. The whole thing made me smell like vinegar everywhere I went. Master Yu chased after me and asked me if I had eaten dumplings for three days..."
Ever since he judged that there seemed to be something wrong with the way his Seven Star Guard grew up, Yinqi was very wary of anything Lian Zhen had cooked up—probably because the Seven Star Guard, who majored in medicine, had cooked a little too much. A good heir of a medical family has grown up like this, no wonder Seventh Master Uncle is a little unfriendly every time he sees him.
Tanlang was afraid that he would not be able to stand still, so he simply picked him up and carefully put him into the tub.Yinqi was carried around when he was a child, but now he has grown to 1.8 meters, and his body is not too weak, but he can still be hugged so easily.

"This is really 'swarms of locusts come from the scorching sun, and disasters come from the bitter cold'. Your lords are really good at learning—be sure to cover some sun when you go back, so as not to be full of books in the sun and become A stomach full of locusts flew out!"
Brother Thirteen sneered, and raised his voice to sneer mercilessly.He grew up with Yinqi since he was a child, but he has learned the ability of this poisonous tongue without hesitation, and he can speak so poisonously that people want to hit the wall.Kangxi looked at this son, a faint smile flashed in his eyes, and he was quickly suppressed by Shen Se, and glanced at the group of officials who were choked speechless: "absurd! , Don’t even know how to farm and dare to point fingers at the court, do you have other plans?!”
These words are absolutely unbearable. The officials who had been clamoring before were silent for a moment, and they knelt down on the ground to plead guilty.The eighth elder brother on the side seemed to stare for a moment, but only in the blink of an eye, he recovered his usual gentleness and calmness, and leaned over and said, "Huang Ama, in my opinion, it's not a matter of arguing over whose fault this locust plague is." When it’s time, let’s discuss how to relieve the disaster and bring peace to the people first, as for other matters—it’s not too late to discuss later.”
"According to what your starling thinks, this locust plague has to find someone who made a mistake—this is really weird, why don't you find out the locust's mother and ask who is its father?"
As soon as Yinxiang's voice fell, there was a faint gasp of suppressed laughter from the court.Kangxi rubbed his forehead with some headaches, and couldn't help but think of the worry in his heart about whether Yinqi would mess up the court - but now it's a good thing, that stinky boy always runs underneath and doesn't face him Son, he actually taught him a person who will continue to work hard to succeed, dutifully took over the banner when his brother was away, and every time he had a good court meeting, he was messed up by these two brothers: "Yinxiang, What kind of decency is there in the court, why don't you shut up!"
As long as he is not facing his fifth elder brother, Yinxiang's unscrupulous and desperate Thirteenth Lang's energy is even difficult for his fourth elder brother to control.Kangxi is always reprimanded but not angry, showing connivance and even a hint of encouragement. Every time the thirteenth elder brother sees anyone who speaks ill of his fourth brother and fifth brother, he will go back without saying a word. Anyway, he will admit his mistake That is to say, this set of procedures has long been very used to, and immediately slapped his sleeves neatly: "Huang Ama, I know I was wrong."
Looking at the saluting posture of this little thirteen that is exactly the same as his brother, Kangxi's eyes softened for a moment, and then pretended to sink his face and said: "Next time if you do it again, I will go back to your Fengtai camp to train soldiers , You don’t need to come again this morning.”
"Hey, my son remembers it, and I will never do it again in the future."
Yinxiang answered in a loud voice, got up obediently and retreated behind his fourth brother, standing straight with his eyes, nose, nose, mouth and heart.The eighth elder brother's complexion is already a little bit bad - the old thirteen's words are clearly unreasonable, but even if Huang Ama is clearly biased, he can only pinch his nose to admit it, and follow suit Kneeling down on the sleeves, he said, "Huang Ama, I didn't mean that, I just said it casually. I just want to say—the most urgent thing now is how to plan disaster relief and countermeasures..."
He has already been thrown into a mess from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and this one can't be thrown off his head no matter what.This locust plague is even more troublesome than the flood disaster. The locusts grow wings and can fly. It is impossible to predict where the next disaster will be. We can only wait for them to be eaten up before releasing food for disaster relief. This kind of thing is only the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother. They were the two who fought against the Ministry of Households in order to open up wasteland and avoid taxes. Now they go back to stockpile food in disgrace. Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is inevitable that it will spread Some are not very nice.
"Huang Ama, since the eighth brother is so enthusiastic about disaster relief—I have a humble opinion, you might as well hand over the errands of the punishment department to the old thirteen, and ask the old eight to go to the grain. After all, he is in charge of the household department. This is what he should be in charge of..."
The crown prince, who had seldom spoken at court meetings these years, suddenly came out, his tone was rare and serious, and there was a cruel and cold smile in his eyes looking at the eighth elder brother.
