There is no phoenix

Seeing that Shui Rong spoke so seriously, Daiyu leaned against Shui Rong's chest and said softly, "Brother Rong, do you know that I hope our child is a son because I care too much about you. I am not a very forgiving Since we got married, I really hope that we can always be like this, and never be separated for a moment. But I know, that is impossible. I hope our two sons are as handsome, as interesting, and like me as much as you .Seeing him is like seeing you, and it can explain how I miss you. When you are at home, we get together happily, big and small; when you are away, I teach them to read and write, isn't it good?"

Shui Rong rested his chin on Daiyu's head, and said with a smile, "Silly Dai'er, I know what you mean. Let me tell you, besides taking care of business, you are the one I think about the most. Every time I go home On the way, I was in a very good mood, because I thought that I would see you soon. I can hold you like this, and I am full of passion and strength. From now on, you have a good rest, and when you give birth to your child, I will take you to the suburbs for a good stroll Let’s go shopping. When the kids are older, let’s go to Jiangnan to see your old house in Gusu, do you think it’s okay?”

Daiyu said: "Brother Rong, the child is only two months old now, and the concubine mother said it will take seven or eight months to be born."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Then you should try your best to eat more, let our son grow up quickly, and he will be called father, queen, mother and concubine when he is born, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said, "How can there be a child who will call someone when he is born? If that's the case, it won't scare people."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Dai'er, I won't tease you anymore. But our two children, first, can't like to cry like you; second, can't always sneak out to play like I did when I was a child; this second Three, from the age of three, I will learn to read and write with you, and learn martial arts from my father."

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong in surprise and said, "Then my daughter also wants to learn martial arts?"

Shui Rong said: "Of course, my Shui Rong's children, regardless of whether they are sons or daughters, must learn martial arts, so as not to be bullied in the future."

Daiyu said with a smile, "Brother Rong, if you let your sons and daughters learn martial arts, you are afraid that they will be too naughty and difficult to discipline like you were when you were young. When you see Liu Xianglian someday, ask him to send the fourth sister over. The two of us are talking, and by the way, what gift should we give to Sister Miao's child. Wang Momo and Chunxian have talked about it for a few days before coming."

Shui Rong listened and said, "Dai'er, these days I'm going to Dongcheng military camp to train recruits, and Xianglian is going to Jingxi military camp to train recruits. It's not convenient to meet each other, but if you really want to see your fourth sister, I'll go there when I return home tomorrow." Xiang Lian's house, then ask Zijuan to take your fourth younger sister to the house by car, and let Xiang Lian come over to have dinner at night before letting them go back."

Early the next morning, Shui Rong and Shui'an were going to the East City. Daiyu saw that there was a lot of frost on the flowers and trees in the yard, so she went to find a thick cloak in the closet, and Shui Rong took it and hurriedly said, "Dai'er, it's still early." , you'd better rest in the room for a while, and Shui'an and I can go to Dongcheng in a while, and it won't be cold after a few exercises."

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I'm fine. I'll bask in the sun here for a while, and then I'll go and see my concubine."

Shui Rong told Zijuan: "Zijuan, take good care of the princess!" After that, he took Shui'an out.

Shui Rong was only halfway there when he saw several captains in charge of the grain depot in Dongcheng galloping into the imperial city. Seeing Shui Rong, they all hurriedly stopped to greet and salute.Seeing that these people seemed to be in a hurry, Shui Rong hurriedly asked, "What's the rush?"

A school lieutenant hurriedly said: "Young prince, it's not good, something happened to the Dongcheng Grain and Grass Depot."

Shui Rong was surprised when he heard this: "What? What happened?"

The school captain said: "My lord, someone actually set fire to the grain and grass depot today in the cold morning. Fortunately, an old soldier had a stomachache and went to the latrine to find it. It's going to be a disaster!"

After hearing this, Shui Rong asked sharply: "Where are Ma Shang and Xie Kun? How could such a big thing happen? How much food and grass have been lost?"

The school lieutenant said again: "Inspector Xie is still instructing people to clean up the burned food and grass. Let us go to Inspector Ma as soon as possible and report to the Ministry of War."

After hearing this, Shui Rong didn't say any more, turned to Shui'an and said, "Let's go to the grain depot first!"

Shui Rong and Shui An rushed to the grain depot, only to see a few large haystacks still emitting thick smoke, and Xie Kun was directing a hundred or so young soldiers to water and carry them.Perhaps anxious and busy, Xie Kun didn't notice the arrival of Shui Rong and Shui An.On the contrary, several veterans fetching water hurried over to salute when they saw Shui Rong with a gloomy face.

Seeing that the hands and faces of these veterans were covered in thick smoke, Shui Rong was very embarrassed, so he couldn't help but sternly said: "Don't worry about me, go fetch water and save food and grass, and call Xie Kun here!"

After a while, Xie Kun hurriedly followed an old soldier from the warehouse, and seeing Shui Rong standing there with a livid face, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to plead guilty: "My lord, please forgive me!"

Another veteran brought a chair and asked Shui Rong to sit down.Shui Rong didn't sit down either, and looked at Xie Kun coldly and said, "Xie Kun, when I came here a few days ago, I told you that the sky is dry now, especially fire prevention, what did you do wrong! Tell me, how much is the total loss?" ?”

Xie Kun replied tremblingly: "My lord, the haystacks were burnt down and six consecutive stacks were burned, and only one warehouse of military rations caught fire, and the loss of grain was about 100 shi. The officials must try to make up for it!"

Shui Rong said sharply: "Make it up? You have been here for several years. Last time, my father said that you are a descendant of Dingchenghou. What's going on!"

Xie Kun heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed on the ground and said, "My lord, I'm guilty of using someone wrongly. This time the fire was set on purpose, and I've already ordered the person who set it on fire to be arrested. You'll know it at the first trial!"

Shui Rong was furious after hearing this: "Who ate the guts of a leopard and dared to set fire to the grain storage? Bring him!"

Seeing that Xie Kun was still lying on the ground, Shui Rong came back to his senses and asked sharply, "Where's Ma Shang? Asked for leave? I remember when my father came, he specifically told you two not to ask for leave a year ago. What about the others?"

Xie Kun hurriedly said: "My lord, I have sent someone to look for him, and I'm sure he will come back here soon!"

After hearing this, Shui Rong said coldly: "Have you sent someone to look for it? So he wasn't here last night?"

Xie Kun fell on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Young Lord, forgive me!"

But at this time in the Ruyi Garden of the Imperial Palace, the emperor Shui Ruoyang was getting dressed and ready to go to court, and Dai Quan hurriedly came and went: "Your Majesty, Mr. Shi of the Ministry of War has something urgent to report!"

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang hurriedly said: "Let him go to Chengde Hall, I will come right away!"

Li Bing hurriedly took a thick cloak to help Shui Ruoyang put it on, and Shui Ruoyang hurriedly tied it on and walked out.

Shui Ruoyang came to the Chengde Palace, and saw Master Shi, the head of the Ministry of Military Affairs, knelt down and returned: "Your Majesty, the soldiers from the Dongcheng Grain and Grass Depot came to report just now, saying that the Dongcheng Grain and Grass Depot ran out of water this morning, and the fourth prince who was going to the Dongcheng School Field has already left." It's over, the prince of Beijing asked his ministers to come and report back to the emperor, the prince has already brought people there!"

Shui Ruoyang heard this, and said in shock: "What? The east city is flooded? Now the sky is dry and things are dry, and the water is flooded in the early morning. What is the loss?"

Mr. Shi replied: "Don't worry, the emperor. Fortunately, it was discovered early and the loss should not be great. However, the soldiers who came to report said that a grain depot caught fire and six large haystacks connected to each other were burned. Xie Kun of the grain depot was still leading people." Extinguishing."

Shui Ruoyang said angrily: "Lord Shi, you can take a few more people to assist the King of Beijing to thoroughly investigate this accident, and let the King of Beijing bring Ma Shang and Xie Kun here to see me!"

After hearing this, Master Shi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will take people there now!"

Shui Ruoyang stood up and said to Dai Quan: "Go to court first, and move all today's memorials here later!"

In the Jinluan Hall, the civil and military officials had finished their pilgrimage. Shui Ruoyang took a look at the civil and military officials, and said sharply: "My dear friends, the sky is dry and things are dry, and fire prevention is especially important. In the early morning of this morning, the Dongcheng Grain Depot unexpectedly leaked water. Whether it is For whatever reason, the master must be suspected of negligence! I have made it clear today that if there is another water leakage accident in the grain and grass depot built today, no matter how much the loss is, if it is not a natural disaster, the master will compensate the family property in advance. If the family property is not enough, use Lives are at stake!"

Suddenly, the hall was silent.

After a while, I saw Zhang Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, come forward and said: "Your Majesty, I heard today that because of the cold weather and short days, many officials from various government departments often come late and leave early. Law and law people, court officials You should lead by example. The minister suggested that all government offices have been strictly on duty, and those who violate the rules should be punished!"

The inspector Chai Yunxun also came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I happened to be in a wine shop yesterday, and I heard that some people in the noble family in the capital openly gathered people to gamble, and even set up a game to fight cards and roll dice. The bets sometimes became thousands of overnight. Wan, I also heard that most of the people who went were from the capital's noble families and wealthy families, and people from the government also participated. The emperor and the minister think that this trend must not grow any longer. Don't talk about seducing young noble families, folk officials The wind will surely go down. In the future, if a person with such a bad habit enters the officialdom, how can he do his best? So I propose that we must re-investigate such a mansion where gambling games are set up, severely punish the leader, and prevent this trend from growing any longer!"

After hearing this, Shui Ruoyang said angrily: "Since the spring of this year, I have been admonishing all the relatives of the emperor and noble families to be kind and even stricter to the children of the younger generation. Now there is such a gambler? Mr. Bu Zhang, I will give you half a month to investigate the matter of gathering people to gamble in the capital. If there is indeed such a thing in the family of the hereditary officials, report it to me as soon as possible, and I will make my own decision!"

Zhang Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will obey the order!"
