Unparalleled Women in the World

In Daliang, the emperor's imperial palace usually governs every three days or every five days, and there are occasional big courts.Dachao is a court meeting for etiquette and congratulations. It is usually a relatively important festival in a year, and the emperor will come to the court to celebrate and accept the worship of all officials.

In Hanying Hall, civil and military officials are divided into two cases. After the audience ceremony, the early court begins.

It rained for a month in Cangzhou in the southeast. The water was shoulder-high, the houses were washed away, and the land was covered with a vast ocean.

Youzhou in the northwest has been in drought since last year, and the grain harvest has not been harvested. This spring, it finally rained a few grains, and now there is another plague of locusts.

The atmosphere in the hall was dull, and no one said a word.

All officials, civil and military, were unhappy. If it was said that the rain would not be even in the old days, more rain would not cause drought in the north, and there would be no floods in the south.

The queen who was sitting in the royal case asked: "What good strategy does your family have to solve the immediate crisis?"

When it comes to governing the world, military commanders are not as smart as civil servants, they all stare blankly, look at me and look at you, and finally move their eyes to the camp of civil servants on the right, the embarrassing expression on their faces is saying, look for us in war , Disaster control will not work, it depends on you.

Holding the ivory wat board in both hands, Prime Minister Chi walked out of the queue of civil servants: "Your servant has a gift."

"Chi Xiangdao is here."

Chi Xiang spoke slowly:

"The flood in Cangzhou, first, is to rescue the people affected by the disaster and establish a unified resettlement site; second, the county government sent female soldiers to reinforce and raise the embankment, and the low-lying areas can be dug to drain the flood; third, the disaster Seriously, there are too many refugees and there is not enough manpower for female soldiers. You can recruit local hard-working women and refugees, and provide relief with work.

"Fourth, the reconstruction work after the flood discharge. The construction of private houses is funded by the court, and the government government assists the officials of the Ministry of Industry to design and manage. The site selection should be in a suitable place. The construction of private houses can employ women and refugees to work. After the construction of private houses, the local people should benefit , sold to the people at a price of [-]-[-]%; [-]. After the catastrophe, it is necessary to prevent a catastrophe. The flood has killed countless people. The source of water, it is best to drink boiled water..."

The empress said: "I will hand over this matter to Prime Minister Chi, with the assistance of Master Xu and Master Su..."

Master Xu and Master Su stepped out of the queue, respectfully thank you!

The queen said again: "What do you think about the locust plague in the northwest?"

Ji Man glanced indifferently at the princess standing beside the ninth-rank Dan Majesty, her eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Mother, the drought in the northwest has caused food shortages, and now the locusts are passing through the border, and the young seedlings are hard to grow. The state is now not only a plague of locusts but also a plague of food!"

The queen nodded: "Second brother, do you have a way to solve this food disaster?"

Ji Man smiled confidently: "Man is willing to donate [-] snowflakes of silver to buy food and donate to Youzhou."

The eldest princess Ji Heng followed closely behind, and said, "My daughter also paid [-] silver to buy food."

The empress made up her mind that starting with the royal daughters, the ministers of the family would also donate money. She looked at the daughters with relief, and even felt at ease with the recent unhappiness.

The fifth emperor's daughter, Ji Hua, has an ugly face, I can't see it, everyone is so rich, it's only because she spends money lavishly, and the family has a lot of servants, alas!It's really difficult, if you lose, you don't lose, the fifth princess gritted her teeth: "Hua, I'll give you one hundred thousand snow silver."

Then all the ministers donated silver one after another.

Except for one person.

Ji Huan went to the court to discuss state affairs, standing on the lower right side of the royal case. She was dressed in the court dress of a princess, a red satin robe, wide black sleeves, and golden phoenix embroidered all over.She had a sullen face and never spoke.

The empress gave her a sideways glance: "Ma'am?"

Ji Huan bowed with her body: "Mother, donating money and food only relieves immediate worries, not root problems."

The empress naturally understood: "Do you have a way to get rid of locusts?"

Ji Huan pondered, if Mei Wangqing were here, what would she do?With her mind full of outlandish ideas, this shouldn't be a problem for her.

Ji Huan was fascinated for a moment, and she didn't make a sound for a long time, and the atmosphere of His Highness suddenly became strange.

The queen's eyes were heavy, she repeated in her mouth, and her voice became heavier: "Do you have a way to get rid of locusts?"

When Ji Huan came back to her senses, the pearl on her crown swayed slightly, shining brightly.

"The seedlings are afraid of drought, but also afraid of locust infestation, just treat the disease according to the symptoms!"

"There is little water in the north. Canals can be dug to divert the flow, and dams and reservoirs can be built. Mountains and mountains can be opened to collect water and lakes, and canals can be diverted to the four corners of the field to irrigate the seedlings. Floods in the south and drought in the north can divert water from the south to the northern reservoir. .”

"Water channel location, channel requirements, transfer water tankers, manual management... This is not a one-day effort, and the investment cost is also a lot. This matter must be determined by the staff of the Ministry of Industry."

"As for locust infestation, migratory locusts are not terrible. What is terrible is the large number. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps. What animal eats locusts? It must be poultry. Local people or nearby states and counties can release poultry to catch locusts; Second, locusts are afraid of fire, so they drive locusts to empty places with few vegetation by man-made nets, and set fire to roast them; third, Huan once read a book "Nanyue Baishu", which mentioned deep-fried locusts, which are delicious and delicious. Tonic, this method can repel locusts, and can also satisfy hunger..."

The queen laughed loudly after hearing this, the laughter was relaxed and happy, and full of pride, the loud laughter echoed in the hall for a while.

"Huan'er's method is very dear to me!"

His Highness and ministers have different expressions, admiration, surprise, cold face, disdain...

Some civil servants sang: "The queen is wise"

Some generals also shouted: "The princess is bullish!"

The atmosphere in the hall was noisy for a while.

Ji Man clenched her sleeves tightly into fists, hating in her heart, third child, why are you always so unexpected, it's not easy to catch up with you!She smiled sinisterly, how wonderful it would be if you disappeared!

Ji Heng closed her eyelashes, the position of Empress Dowager is really secure!

"Do you have anything to add, gentlemen?"

……

The court meeting lasted until Si time, and the political affairs were over. The queen waved her hand, and the servant beside her said in a loud voice, "Retire from the court..."

Ji Huan withdrew from the Hanying Hall. In a corner outside the hall, the servant Xie Ru had been waiting quietly for a long time. When she saw Ji Huan, she walked over and knelt down to worship: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Ji Huan raised her hand: "Thank you, sir, there is no need to be polite!"

Xie Ru got up, with a slight smile on her face: "The Empress invites Your Highness to have a meal with him after retreating."

Ji Huan nodded, turned around and walked towards Fenghe Palace.

The palaces of the Liang Dynasty were resplendent and resplendent, and the magnificent and magnificent palaces stretched all the way to the end of the field of vision. The more you walk in, the shade of the trees is refreshing, the road is surrounded by fresh fragrance, and there are gurgling water under the white marble bridge, and there are koi flying around; Behind the rockery, there are warblers singing, which is the opening of the colorful sparrows.Looking around, this exquisite and magnificent harem looks like a fairy palace in the sky.

Fenghe Palace.

The long table of the rosewood Eight Immortals is full of gold plates and silver bowls of different shapes, and the dishes are filled with bright and beautiful dishes. The shapes are interesting, some are amazing and compelling.

Ji Huan glanced at the table, these are her favorite dishes.

Spring bamboo shoots in soy sauce, minced pepper meat, steamed chicken with five flavors, fresh shrimp with pepper and vinegar, mutton crystal corners, gizzard dumplings, fat chicken and cabbage, folded milk skin, tofu, steamed fresh fish, three-flavored soup...

The blue-and-white porcelain rice cup is piled with hill-like Jianglingong rice. The grains are round and crystal clear like jade, exuding an attractive rice fragrance.

Ji Huan picked up the silver spoon inlaid with white marble and red sandalwood, and stirred the three-flavored soup in the silver chiseled flower bowl. It was never such a simple matter for the queen father to find her. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she thought of someone. The reason why father called her after arriving.

The queen stretched out the ebony inlaid silver chopsticks to pick up a piece of minced pepper from the silver inlaid plate, and then added it to her bowl.

Ji Huan had a good appetite. She tasted a few mouthfuls of each dish, added rice twice, and drank a bowl of soup.

The empress and the concubine, the father and daughter, ate silently, raised their chopsticks silently, and were gentle and elegant.

After the meal, the queen rinsed her mouthful of tea, then took the silk handkerchief handed over by the waiter and wiped her mouth. He glanced at Ji Huan:

"Huan'er, you have been serving as a servant for three years now, and even this side-husband has been in charge of the East Palace for two years. Why are there no movements in the stomachs of these two?"

Ji Huan's face remained unchanged, and said: "But who is gossiping in front of my father?"

The queen's eyes darkened by an inch, and he said, "That's not true, but Mrs. Zhou mentioned a few words cryptically, and I realized that it's rare for Huan'er to touch your side-husband once in half a year..."

Ji Huan pursed her lips and said nothing.

A sneer crossed the corner of the queen's lips: "Those in the palace who are trying their best to climb up and want to conceive children don't need my palace to take action. Some of the four nobles are people who do it! But now there is an accident, that bitch Su Shiqing actually There is a pregnancy under the nose, and the emperor is tempted again. To protect him, this time he is pregnant with a female fetus..."

"Although Huan'er was born in the middle palace, she has a concubine princess, and Ji Heng has many heirs. The concubine's eldest grandson is quite smart and loved by the emperor, and she has a spoiled younger sister. In addition, this unborn child is already full of expectations. My younger sister, the emperor is in his prime, if you have no heirs, the position of the empress might be unstable."

Ji Huan is not in a hurry, she has been sitting as a concubine for more than ten years, but although she doesn't like this position, she can't allow others to pull her down.

"Son, now is not the time!"

The Queen asked, "When?"

Ji Huan spoke slowly, and a deep and cold voice sounded:

"After the obstacle is cleared..."

The queen smiled suddenly, very happy: "I knew Huan'er was someone with ideas, you can figure it out. It's just Zhou's side, you need to speak softly."

"He was so wronged that he was about to cry..."

"I'm most afraid of men crying..."

Ji Huan frowned, she hated men crying the most!

"Huan'er, you have taken good care of Anping's daughter recently, and the gift you gave here is far inferior to your side husband and servants in the backyard..."

The queen asked tentatively: "Huan'er, it seems that you are very interested in this daughter of Anping?"

Ji Huan said indifferently: "Anpingshi women are pretty good."

The queen couldn't see her expression, and said again: "Huan'er wants to win over King Anping's army?"

The corner of Ji Huan's mouth curved slightly, and said: "It's just a simple friendship. Compared with the princesses in this palace, Mei Wangqing has a pure character and a good personality."

The queen now understands that her daughter has no close friends since she was a child, and the sisters around her are jealous of her position.It's rare for someone to catch her eye without any conflict of interest.

The queen raised her eyebrows, and it was a good thing that Huan'er had a friend like Anping Shiv.Right now, the daughter of Anping is not standing in line, but in the eyes of others, she is in the camp of the prince. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the daughter of Anping to leave the camp of the prince...
