Dedicated to life

Mo Haoxuan was buried in the imperial mausoleum soon, and Mo Chengxiao inherited the throne.

Because of his young age, his mother, Linghou, listened to the government behind the curtain. Nanheng's state affairs did not decline due to Mo Haoxuan's death. It is even more clear that the politics are clear and bright, and the whole country praises it.

In the imperial study room, on the dragon chair that Mo Haoxuan was originally sitting on, there was a serious-looking child in a bright yellow dragon robe. Just read some princeling of statecraft.

This boy was Mo Chengxiao who had just ascended the throne.

"My queen, if the drought in the Sichuan region follows the method of disaster relief in previous years, there may not be much silver and food left in the hands of the victims."

Mo Chengxiao has long been dissatisfied with Mo Haoxuan's practice of directly distributing the silver taels to officials in previous years. Originally, the amount of disaster relief silver taels was relatively huge, but when it passes through the hands of the officials and then reaches the victims, it is considered good if only one-tenth of it remains that's it.

The food was hoarded by those who cared, and even sold at a high price to make huge profits.

Even though I am only nine years old, I still know why there is only a little bit of silver left in the hands of the victims. It is like food. The more you eat, the less each official deducts. The amount of silver that has been used for disaster relief is no longer the amount when it first left the treasury.

It's just that he was only a prince at that time, and he could only listen to the political affairs of the court. Besides, this kind of disaster relief was done in the previous court, and Mo Haoxuan had never changed it. Rectify one by one.

After Mo Chengxiao ascended the throne, another seat was placed on the side of the Dragon Chair in the Imperial Study Room. The golden handle and the phoenix depicted on the back of the chair all showed the dignity of the person sitting on this seat. The person sitting on it at the moment is Ling Mojin.

"The queen mother feels very relieved that the emperor has this idea." Ling Mojin put down the memorial Mo Chengxiao handed her in her hand, and did not hesitate to praise Mo Chengxiao due.

Even though he has become the king of a country, he is still a child under ten years old. It is really commendable that he can think of the disadvantages of disaster relief in the past.

"But I don't know how to deal with this matter, so I ask my mother to advise me." Mo Chengxiao was a little ashamed, he really didn't know how to deal with officials embezzling disaster relief money, and always felt that he was a bit useless as an emperor.

"The emperor's son has just ascended the throne, so it's not appropriate to rectify the officials." Ling Mojin patiently analyzed the current situation with him, and being able to ask questions without shame is the disposition that a good emperor should have. affairs, but we must learn how to ask for advice and employ people.

"Then how can my son-in-law use the money allocated by the state treasury for the disaster in Shu without moving the officials?" Mo Chengxiao couldn't wait to hear Ling Mojin teach him how to deal with this aspect.

Ling Mojin took a piece of rice paper, drew a few squares on it, and drew a few small circles in the blank space between the two squares.

"These two squares represent the imperial court and the land of Shu, and the circle in the middle represents the officials passing by the silver. After each layer is deducted, there is not much silver left." Ling Mojin told Mo Cheng the meaning of each figure. Xiao, seeing him listening attentively and nodding his head from time to time, she spoke more carefully.

"Then what if you don't go through these circles and go directly from the imperial court to Shu?" Ling Mojin drew an arc under the two squares, directly connecting them together.

"The Empress Dowager means that there is no need to follow the usual method of disaster relief and pass on the distributed silver in batches, but directly bypass these officials and directly put the silver in the land of Shu?"

After all, Mo Chengxiao is a child with half of Ling Mojin's blood flowing in his body. Not to mention his intelligence, and when he was the prince, he also heard the grand master talk about political affairs, and when Ling Mojin reminded him, he suddenly understood. He picked up the pen and wrote on the blank memorial.

"The queen mother is a little tired, so I'll go back to the palace first, and the emperor should not work too hard." Ling Mojin smiled slightly as she watched him scribbling, stood up, and looked at the sunny sky outside the window.

"Empress, sister Yu hasn't woken up yet?" Mo Chengxiao raised his head, seeing the flash of grief in Ling Mojin's eyes, but immediately changed into his usual loving look.

"Does the emperor want to see her too?" Ling Mojin asked innocently.

"Well, I feel that the queen mother has been a little depressed recently. If sister Yu wakes up, the queen mother will be happy." Mo Chengxiao just said according to his own ideas. Now that the queen mother's bedroom has been moved to Yuhua Palace, the unconscious Sister Yu brought them along with her. If Sister Yu woke up, the queen mother's mood would not be so gloomy.

"She will wake up." Ling Mojin smiled faintly, her eyes were extremely sure that Yu Qingge would not be willing to sleep like this forever.

Regarding the matter between herself and Yu Qingge, Ling Mojin did not take the initiative to tell Mo Chengxiao. After all, he was only a child, but she did not deliberately conceal it. The tenderness she showed when taking care of Yu Qingge was never affected by Mo Chengxiao's presence. less than one point.

After the dust settled on this matter, Li Luo rushed back to the border. The reason why Xiyue didn't move was not lacking in Li Luo's credit.

Before he left, he didn't say much about Ling Mojin and Yu Qingge. If Ling Mojin could do this to save Yu Qingge, a few words could not persuade her.

In addition, now that the overall situation was settled, no one could threaten Ling Mojin's status, so he turned a blind eye. After all, he had known each other for many years, and he understood Ling Mojin's temperament.

But Concubine Jing insisted on staying and waiting for Yu Qingge to wake up. Now that Mo Haoxuan is gone, although she and the guards can't be upright, they are much better than they used to be. In recent days, she often goes to Yuhua Walking around the palace, the relationship with Ling Mojin is getting better day by day.

In her opinion, this woman didn't take Mo Haoxuan's ban seriously on the day Yu Qingge committed suicide, let alone the guards wanted to leave the gate of Weiyang Palace when they faced her with swords. Only her affection can support her to make such an act of disregarding her own life and death?

Now Yu Qingge has never woken up, watching Ling Mojin occasionally cast her gaze on Yu Qingge on the bed, there is a faint expectation in that gaze, and when she sees that person still lying motionless, that gaze returns again. A little bit lost.

This made Concubine Jing really couldn't bear to leave Ling Mojin alone to guard the palace.

"I've said it a long time ago, there's no need to keep it." Ling Mojin smiled and handed the teacup to Concubine Jing who was now a concubine beside her.

After experiencing that accident, she insisted on staying with her until Yu Qingge woke up, and she was grateful for this affection.

"My sister has said these words many times in recent days, and my sister still said the same thing. Seeing her wake up, I am relieved to leave." Concubine Jing took the teacup, sighing in her heart that although the two have served each other for many years, But they have never been as familiar as they are now. After planning that incident, they actually made the two of them like sisters.

Concubine Jing suddenly asked: "Does the Emperor know about your affairs?"

Ling Mojin shook her head, "He's still young, I don't want him to know, but I don't try to cover it up either, I don't want Qingge's love that she has given her life to protect to be deliberately hidden in the sun. Let me take care of everything."

Yu Qingge's ten years of love, even when he was so insulted by Mo Haoxuan, he never thought of compromising, he would rather give up his life than look back, every time thinking of this, Ling Mojin felt distressed, Yu Qingge loved her How can she repay her in this life besides being single-minded?

"I've been thinking, my sister has been pure and ascetic for so many years, why did she fall in love with her in just these few days?" Concubine Jing became more and more curious after hearing Ling Mojin talk about some past events these days. Speaking of which, Ling Mojin is notoriously obedient in the palace, and she rarely even courts Mo Haoxuan in face, so how did the two of them fall in love with each other?

"Nothing special happened. Once you are tempted, you are tempted. It doesn't matter how long it takes." Ling Mojin looked at the teacup in her hand, and the warm tea inside seemed to spread from her fingertips to her heart.

"Probably no one has ever treated me like this. Before I met her, I had no love/love after all. I didn't know what missing is. Before I played that song with her, I didn't know that there was someone who could understand my heart." What does it feel like to have a bosom friend?"

Ling Mojin smiled lightly, that smile was full of connivance and pampering for what Yu Qingge had done in the past.

From the startling glance at Yu Qingge, the future she had planned for herself was shattered. She never thought that she would be so attached to one person in this life. She discovered it when she was in Lingfu. I am more and more used to Yu Qingge's hugs and Yu Qingge's kisses, and I even like Yu Qingge's enchanting and charming body more and more.

Later, on the day when she had a skin-to-skin date with Yu Qingge, when Ling Mojin hugged her, she finally admitted her influence on her. Ling Mojin wanted to get everything about her, even if she was still facing unknown consequences at the time. .

Ling Mojin only knew that she was unwilling to give up Yu Qingge's beautiful posture to others.

"Then if the person who treats you like this is someone else, not her, would you still be tempted?" Concubine Jing looked at her with a half-smile.

"It's too late to say this now, my love in this life has been unreserved." Ling Mojin didn't know if Yu Qingge did not do what happened to her before, but someone else, would she refuse or not? As it is now.

But now these words are meaningless, she only has Yu Qingge in her heart now, so naturally she can't imagine the assumption in Concubine Jing's mouth, and the past has passed, and she doesn't regret responding to this relationship.
