[Qing Chuan] Five elder brothers intermittent salted fish

When Dr. Li came trotting all the way, the night of the Forbidden City had already covered the base of the red wall. If it were different from usual, it would be time to hang up the lights and have nothing to do. Brothers should study their homework or recite poems. , The concubines either practice pens and hairpins or mourn and worry about themselves.

But today, the lights are bright everywhere, as if even the galaxy in the Nine Heavens is illuminated.

"Fourth brother, do you want to live here in the future?" Yin Qi sat alone on the flower bed with his calves crossed, his head slightly raised, and he seemed to be concentrating on the stars in the sky, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Yinzhen silently looked at the corpse on the ground whose face was covered with a white cloth. Doctor Li knelt not far from the corpse and respectfully listened to Ama Khan. He didn't know if he would feel sick or scared.

Although they are far away from Yinzhen, they also know that today, Li Taiyi must have an overnight examination. When Yinzhen thinks of this, he subconsciously looks at Xiao Yinqi who is beside him. Anyway, he is still too young to look at him. These unclean things, but Yin Qi, who was concentrating on looking at the sky, didn't realize the burning gaze of his fourth brother.

Yinzhen stood up without saying a word, turned slightly to look at Liang Jiugong's place, although it was a dark night with very poor light, but Liang Jiugong, who had been the chief executive for many years, had already developed a good ear and eyesight Good job.He noticed it the moment the fourth elder brother got up, and even before the fourth elder brother opened his mouth, he was already walking towards them.

"Si elder brother, what's the matter? But it's cold? Or..." Liang Jiugong bent over respectfully, and asked softly.

Yin Zhen nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "Is Doctor Li going to examine the corpse right away?"

Liang Jiugong nodded, although he didn't reply, but he couldn't express his meaning more clearly. Seeing this, Yinzhen turned his head and glanced at the little Yinqi who was still sitting on the flower bed and counting the stars foolishly. He made up his mind and said:

"Yinqi is still young, I think it's better not to let him see such a scene later, so as not to turn around and be scared and have nightmares day and night, so... If possible, please ask Mr. Liang to tell Khan Ama on his behalf One word, send a little eunuch or something to send Yinqi back first!"

It's only natural for my elder brother to feel sorry for my younger brother. If Yinzhen's words were changed in normal times, he would be praised by the Lord Long Live, but how could it be the same today!

Liang Jiugong led Yinzhen slightly into the corner and walked two steps, before he said: "Si elder brother is so smart, can't you see it? Long live Lord made it clear that you guys should stay here and don't go anywhere. Good to see this with my own eyes…”

Liang Jiugong tilted his head slightly when he said this, and then looked at the corpse on the ground.This is the most obvious way to kill a chicken for the monkeys to see, and it is the most idiomatic way for young children like them to bluff people.

It's just...it's the first time in thousands of years to scare a living child with a real dead person.

Yinzhen, who soon understood what Liang Jiugong meant, trembled unconsciously from the thought. He cleared his throat in a panic, wanting to ask something but didn't know how to ask.

It was Liang Jiugong who continued to speak: "Long Live Lord is really furious today, it's not that the old slave refuses to say this, but I'm afraid that after saying this, Long Live Lord will be even more angry, and then... oh...

In short, today, Long Live Lord is determined to teach you a good lesson. If it weren't for this, it would be so dark... What are the young masters doing here?Didn't I ask my fifth elder brother to go back with you a long time ago!

Besides, look at the crown prince, the crown prince has been kneeling in the Xiefang hall for more than an hour, how much does Long live Lord love the crown prince on weekdays?But if you look at today, you didn't even mention a single word! "

Yinzhen frowned slightly, and asked tentatively: "Eunuch Liang... Does this mean..."

"Your heart is unpredictable, fourth elder brother, you have always been young and mature, how could you not see this scene!" Speaking of this, Liang Jiugong clapped his hands, with a melancholy tone as if he was talking to an adult, "Neither Know where this big brother is hiding!"

As soon as the two finished speaking, Li Taiyi stood up and was about to walk in with the medicine box in hand. The little eunuch behind him and the guards even lifted up the corpse that was originally on the ground.

As soon as he heard the sound, Yinqi stretched his short legs and slipped down from the flower bed. He only looked at the flustered look and asked, "fourth brother, what are you doing here? Where is the eldest brother? Did you find the elder brother?" ?”

Liang Jiugong turned his head slightly to Yinzhen's big eyes that were still sparkling in the dark night, and shook his head imperceptibly. Seeing all the helplessness, Yinzhen only comforted him perfunctorily: "No matter what you see later, don't worry about it." Cry! If you are afraid, hold fourth brother's hand tightly, okay?"

"What will you see? Fourth brother?" Yin Qi held his head high, his round grape eyes were full of unanswerable doubts, Yin Zhen looked down at him and didn't answer, just gave a soft "shh~" and then fell silent go inside.

There were no less than dozens of lamps and candles lit in Xiefang Hall, the lights were brightly lit, especially the whole house was brighter and more dazzling than the morning light.It is also because of this dazzling light that the prince kneeling in the center of the hall is particularly conspicuous.

The crown prince has been kneeling for an hour, even though his body was trembling slightly unbearably, and even the sweat on his forehead slid down his face like rain and dripped onto the floor tiles, his body was still upright and he didn't dare to show any perfunctory Contemptuous.

"Brother Prince!"

"Brother Prince!"

Yinzhen took Yinqi and saluted the prince respectfully, the prince slightly raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, he didn't dare to make a sound, but just looked at the two of them from a distance, then turned around and stopped moving.

Doctor Li saw that the guards were hesitant to put the dead body beside the prince, so he acted like a good old man and asked questions for them.

"Long Live Lord, it is very unlucky for this dead body to be placed in the house of Xiefang Hall, not to mention that this is the bedroom of His Highness the Crown Prince, if this... bumps into His Highness the Crown Prince, after death..."

Doctor Li said half of what he said, but the meaning couldn't be clearer. No dynasty or generation would have the reason to put the dead in front of the crown prince to check the wounds over and over again. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with the crown prince.

But Xuanye didn't think so, he interrupted Li Taiyi arbitrarily, and just said: "Just put it here, just watch it here."

Xuanye's words became more and more angry, and Yinqi, who had always been bold, was so indifferent that he dared not speak out. He had never seen such an angry Khan Ama.

"It's not that your highness the crown prince has never seen it before. When Yinti punched and kicked the little eunuch, your crown prince could see it clearly. Now that he has seen it, what is there to be afraid of? Just Put it here!"

Xuanye's sullen voice was ruthless yet full of majesty, everything happened too fast, and before the prince could even react, he was greeted by Khan Ama's scolding, which frightened the trembling prince even more It was trembling more and more.

"Yes!" All the guards said in a cold voice, and placed the dead body on the right side of the crown prince, and the crown prince could see the white cloth completely without turning his head.

Not to mention the smell of stench and corruption wafting from the side, which made the prince, who was exhausted after kneeling for a long time, feel sick and want to vomit. down.

And what disgusted him even more, because of this uncontrollable movement, the prince actually pressed his whole hand on the dead body's shoulder, and the large dark red blood stained by the eunuch Xiao Si'er's chest wound was completely covered. on the Prince's cheek.

"Ah... ah... Khan Ama! Blood ~ vomit..."

The prince cried out in panic almost instantly, but no matter how clear he was mentally, he still couldn't drag his numb and unconscious legs.

He was desperately trying to get what he was wearing, the high-quality satin weaving and paying tribute from Jiangning, and the clear-cut cranes embroidered by more than ten Suzhou embroiderers with expensive gold silk threads, and he was angry. Tremblingly wiping the blood stains on his cheeks; at the same time desperately suppressing the nausea that was about to surge up in his heart at any time.

The whole person was full of uncoordinated panic, but none of the crowds in the hall dared to step forward to help him, and the prince almost fell to the ground helplessly in the end.

"Kneel down! Kneel up straight!" Xuan Ye yelled with his hands behind his back, his expression unchanged.

The prince propped his hands on the ground, his stubborn face was full of unconvinced stubbornness, he stared at his father, and asked: "Why did Khan Ama torture me like this? Why did you only torture me? Is it wrong?" Is it me? Could it be me..."

Xuan Ye didn't wait for the prince to finish speaking, stepped forward and kicked his arm directly, kicking him to the other side.

"You are the prince! You are my son and even my subject, the prince of thousands of Li people, and the future Ninety-Five Supreme. But what about you? You turn a blind eye to such atrocities committed by your elder brother, and you turn a blind eye to the death of your people. You feel like all this has nothing to do with you, don't you?"

Faced with a series of accusations from Khan Ama, the prince lay on the ground without saying a word, but he did not dare to look at his father anymore, instead he could only look at the dead body that was facing him now.

"You are wrong! You are so wrong, so outrageous! You can't admonish your elder brother! You can't restrain your subjects! You can't uphold justice for the injustices in the world! You can't lead and plan for unforeseen disasters! What face do you have to sit on the crown prince's seat?" Xuan Ye bent down and yelled harder, wishing he could express his disappointment with the prince directly.

Seeing that Xuan Ye was too angry, Liang Jiugong quickly supported Xuan Ye's arm and whispered softly, "Long Live Lord, calm down, calm down! His Royal Highness is busy with his studies day and night, perhaps due to his negligence for a while. Take care, where will..."

"Whether he saw it or not, you know better than anyone else whether he was negligent or not. You don't need to deceive yourself and me with good words just to beg for mercy. What's the matter? No one in this palace dares to tell the truth to me now? Is it possible to commit such atrocities in one day? Counting forward, he has committed today’s incident countless times, but you have kept it from me and coaxed me for him one by one. , I am afraid that I will never know that my eldest son...is such a cruel and cruel person!"

Xuan Ye was almost venting, expressing all the dissatisfaction buried in his heart in front of these close people who are closely related by blood... all out.

He is in a high position, and since he was a child, he has never lived a day of carefree life like Yinqi. He is strict with himself according to the rules of his ancestors all the time.Everyone said that he is a great king, a king who has made great achievements, but only he knows that behind those false names is his enduring day after day... Father and son are not close, monarch and minister are not true, Husband and wife are no longer lonely and indifferent.

This kind of boring life day after day, in exchange for such a day when you are blinded by false glitz and piled up with lies and deceit?

There was a long silence, no one dared to say a word of persuasion or comfort.

In the end, Nalanzhu, who came after hearing the news belatedly, stepped into the Xiefang Palace in this empty city that was as silent as dead ashes, and broke everyone imprisoned in it.

"Concubine Yifei, I respectfully welcome the emperor's peace." Before Xuan Ye called out, Concubine Yi stood up by herself, and he looked at Xuan Ye who was still panting and said calmly: "It's getting late, my concubine He is here to take Yinqi home!"

In fact, she came here a long time ago, a eunuch died in the eldest brother's palace, and there is no one in the entire Forbidden City who is not aware of it.She insisted on not listening to the persuasion and coming to pick up Yinqi because she was afraid of such a situation.

Whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, whether it is reality or history, whether it is the present or the future, Kangxi is a lofty and invincible emperor.His majesty and reputation have been built little by little since the eradication of Oboi, the flattening of San Francisco, and the recovery of Taiwan/Taiwan. At this position, no one compares him with the yellow-mouthed boy who has just ascended to the Great Treasure .

Sitting high is naturally scary.

It's scary, so naturally I dare not say it.

Not to mention... There are more than one or two things to deceive him and deceive him.

Xuan Ye looked at the pair of gentle eyes in front of him that were glowing unwaveringly and secretly under the candlelight, and for some reason, he only felt a sense of sadness that should be called grievance welled up in his heart.

"Are you here?" Xuan Ye immediately vented his anger, and just asked her: "Why are you here?"

There was no extra emotion in that flat voice.Not questioning, not angry, as if she really didn't know why Concubine Yi came to ask the words.But anyone who has ears can hear it, and Concubine Yi explained her purpose when she came in, so why would she ask such a question?

Concubine Yi didn't think about it, she just continued to repeat: "The concubine is here to take Yinqi back to the palace, he has to go to the study room tomorrow, and he has to go to bed early at night."

When Liang Jiugong saw this situation, since Concubine Yi took the initiative to take the lead, he couldn't just stand and be a pillar!

"Yes, Lord Long Live, these little elder brothers still have homework to do tomorrow. I think the fourth elder brother and the fifth elder brother have learned a lesson today. Let them go back to the palace to reflect on themselves!"

"Are you becoming my master?" Xuan Ye sat down slowly, but looked at Liang Jiugong with sharp eyes.

"Long Live Lord, what is this saying..." Liang Jiugong laughed twice, and just about to continue explaining, the little eunuch outside suddenly ran in in a panic, and only shouted: "Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord, Eldest Brother has found it!" , big brother found it!"

"Where is it?" Liang Jiugong asked impatiently.

The little eunuch panted and quickly replied: "It's in the ancestor's palace! It is said that he has been kneeling in the side hall, and the ancestor rested early there. If it weren't for the mother in the palace who woke up at night, I'm afraid I still haven't seen it!"

"Who let him in? You bastard!" As soon as Xuanye heard that Yinti had entered his imperial grandmother's palace, the evil fire that had just dissipated ignited again. The imperial grandmother's health has become worse and worse in the past two years. He was sick all day, and he would not allow the palace servants to report it unless there was some great happy event.

Yinti went into the ancestor's palace quietly by himself, he really knew how to find a backer.

Xuan Ye stood up, lifted his robe and was about to go out, but Duo Lun, the guard at the main entrance, rushed in with the memorial in his hand, before reaching the door, Duo Lun knelt down and reported: "Chen Duo Lun respects Sheng An! It is a matter of locust plague in Mongolia. Before that, the locust plague in the Mongolian grasslands has not been alleviated but has become more serious. In recent months, the refugees from other places have been heading north all the way. The prefectures and counties have no spare capacity to receive the refugees. I hereby write a letter to the imperial court.

According to another report, there seems to be signs of locusts in the suburbs of Beijing! "

"Who sent this memorial?" Xuan Ye stepped forward and took the memorial from Duo Lun.

Duo Lun got up and said, "Go back to Lord Long Live, Lord Mingzhu, Lord Suo'etu and Lord Li Jinqing are already waiting in the South Study Room!"

Nalanzhu missed the body, walked directly inside and glanced at Liang Jiugong to signal him to help the prince up quickly, but he squatted beside the corpse.

Seeing this, Eunuch Li just wanted to stop her, but she just shook her head and took off the white cloth covering her head and neck.

Yinzhen and Yinqi happened to be standing behind Concubine Yi, and Concubine Yi squatted down firmly to block it, and Yinzhen was still afraid of seeing the prince's reaction so huge before, so she was no longer curious , the two of them just stood there obediently.

"Cover it!" Nalanzhu took off the handkerchief from the front and wiped his hands. After taking a look at Li Taiyi, he stood up again, calmly as if he hadn't seen anything.

Looking at the corpse, Nalanzhu knew it in his heart, so he walked up to Yinqi, looking at Yinqi whose eyes were already blurred and sleepy, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.It was obvious that his old father had a big fit of anger just now, not only did he not cry in fright, but he was so sleepy that he wanted to sleep.

"Persevere, Erniang will send you and fourth elder brother back later!"

Concubine Yi's voice fell, and Xuan Ye, who was standing in front of the door holding a memorial, turned his head and said: "Since you are here, send Yinqi and Yinzhen back! The place of the queen's mother is still the same, whoever says more Words should know what will happen."

After the words fell, Xuan Ye looked at the prince who was supported by Liang Jiugong as if he had lost his soul. He shook his head angrily and said, "Half a month of confinement, just stay here and reflect on what you did wrong!"

"Khan Ama! I don't want to stay here! I don't want to..." Almost instantly, the prince called out, looking at his pale face, he was really frightened.

Xuanye walked up to him, patted his face that was as white as Korean paper, after all, he still felt sorry for his favorite son, and said after a long time: "Then go live in Yuqing Palace! I'll ask Liang Jiugong to replace him tomorrow." If you change a group of servants to serve, you don’t need to use these in Xiefang Palace!"

Xuan Ye sighed slightly, turned around and didn't look at him anymore, he just went out and said to himself: "I don't know whose palace this is, and whose servants are here."

After saying that, he walked out of the Xiefang Palace without looking back, leaving Taiyi Li and others standing there wondering whether the injury was confirmed or not.

Nalanzhu really didn't bother to take care of the mess, so he walked out with only Yinqi and Yinzhen on his hands.Liang Shan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw his little master's eyelids fighting, and hugged him into his arms without saying a word.

She said in a soft voice: "My young master, if you are sleepy, just fall into a light sleep, and I will take you back to the palace right away."

"Hero... have you returned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Did you bring any delicious food?" Yin Qi asked in a soft tone lying on Liang Shan's neck, like an unconscious dialogue between half-dream and half-awake.

Liang Shan smiled helplessly when he heard this, patted Yinqi's back softly, and said helplessly: "When is this, you are still thinking about eating!"

Na Lanzhu looked at the conversation between Liang Shan and Yin Qi, a senior and a junior, and inexplicably curled the corners of her mouth, maybe she was glad from the bottom of her heart that she didn't raise her child to look like a big brother and a prince!Of course, it's not like she raised this child day and night with shit and urine, but she is the cheap mother.

"Why is Niangniang Yi here?" Yinzhen held Concubine Yi's tender palm, unconsciously feeling warm, and even spoke with himself much more easily.

Nalanzhu looked down at him, and smiled slightly, "I'm here to pick you up and Yinqi to go back earlier, and so are you two little idiots. What are you doing to bump into this one? Look at the three of them. Elder brother, on the way to the south study, I heard Xin'er and turned back to the palace halfway. How is it like you... Knowing that something happened, you still think it's not lively, and you want to move forward? Isn't this just hitting the gun? "

Yin Zhen blinked his eyes in confusion, and asked, "Muzzle? What muzzle? A red-tasseled gun?"

As a modern person, Nalan Zhu would occasionally utter a few modern words even though he was a fetal wear mechanism. Now that the tension had been relaxed, he couldn't help being negligent.

Now I can only make amends: "The mouth of the gun is the mouth of the gun! In short, you have no eyesight to see. If the two of you are like the third elder brother, when you see something wrong and go back, why should I be late at night? Didn't sleep to pick you up?"

Yinzhen pursed his lips, and sighed noncommittally. This sigh was not important, but it made Nalan Zhu sigh and laugh.

"How come you have learned to sigh, you little man? Are you so troubled?" Speaking of this, he squeezed Yinzhen's little palm.

Yinzhen held his head up and said seriously: "I'm not worried, I just can't figure it out. Although my elder brother is a bit arrogant on weekdays, he is not a person who does not know the heights of heaven and earth. How could he make such a big fuss for no reason? Besides, Come on... how did eldest brother run into the palace of our ancestors again?"

Nalanzhu hooked the corners of his mouth, and analyzed lightly: "I saw that corpse just now, it was strangled to death, it was not suicide at all. Regardless of whether the murderer was the elder brother or not, the little eunuch was not himself. Hanged.

As for the elder brother... I am more curious about this matter. The Forbidden City is full of palaces, and the palace people are looking for him everywhere. He can sneak into the ancestor's bedroom without making a sound, unless he has wings. no. "

"Oh!" Yinzhen stopped suddenly, looked at Nalanzhu and said, "When Ama Khan just left, he said that he didn't know who the servants of the palace were... Could it be that someone cheated with the elder brother? These people secretly let Big Brother go?"

Nalan Zhu nodded, "It's...not impossible, you Khan Ama has always thought farther than others, remember that no matter who you fool in the future, don't fool you Khan Ama. People don't talk about it, but they have a real account in their hearts!"

Speaking of this, Nalanzhu couldn't help being a little silent. Since she entered the Xiefang Palace, she first searched for the elder brother who hadn't been seen all night, and was suddenly found, and then the palace gate clearly set Key Fei. The urgent report that the palace gate was not opened for important matters was suddenly sent in.

The locust drought in Mongolia has been mentioned since the last time Horqin Baylor came, and there has been no news for several months.It's a good day today, why didn't report early or late, but I just reported it when Long live Lord was dealing with all these housework!

As for the adults waiting in the south study room, she was even more keenly aware that something was wrong.

Lord Mingzhu is the uncle of the eldest son of the emperor, Yinti, and the elder brother of Concubine Hui.

Mr. Suo'etu, the mother of Crown Prince Yinfeng is his niece.

No matter how much the blood relatives occupy or how little they occupy, anyway, how many points they occupy will determine that Suo'etu and Mingzhu are in different camps.Even though the emperor had made the crown prince long ago, not everyone really thought that Yinfeng was the crown prince. After all, things in the future are not so easy to say.

These two relatives of the imperial family, and important officials in the court who have never dealt with each other, unexpectedly came to the South Study Room to meet each other because of the same incident that had happened for several months and was not so urgent. Your Majesty.

No matter how you look at it, it makes people feel that something is not right. Not only Nalan Zhu felt this, but Xuan Ye knew that something was wrong as soon as he got the memorial.It is obvious that the two princes are the ones who can make these two people jointly write a letter to ask for an audience. Could it be the disaster victims who have been starving for several months?

It is precisely because of this that Xuan Ye is extremely vigilant. It has only been more than an hour since the incident happened, but the news has spread from inside the palace to outside the palace. He does not know where he lives day and night. How many confidantes and eyeliners of the ministers of the DPRK and China were buried.

It's not just "I don't know whose palace this is, I don't know whose servants are here".

-

The incense in the south study was very ordinary rosin, the emperor was never picky about what he used, and even the ordinary palace people didn't know what the emperor liked or disliked, and they just listened to Liang Jiugong's orders for a long time.

Liang Jiugong is a servant who grew up with the emperor since he was a child. He is very familiar with the emperor. He knows everything from how to enlarge the pen on the case table to how to deal with the government affairs of the country, but he is a clueless person. A wise man with an idea, he just does what the emperor says, but he never does guessing his mind.

The servants don't have to guess, but the ministers can't help guessing. If one sentence is wrong or one thing is not done properly, it will be a matter of losing their heads if they are punished lightly and severely.It is difficult to figure out whether it is right or not.

"Pa" a few stacks of memorials were thrown at the feet of the two adults, Suo'etu, and the emperor sat down slowly, still leaning on the armchair, flipping through the booklet on water treatment in his hand, without looking up, he just said:

"Tell me..."

Mingzhu picked up the memorial that was jointly signed by officials from several government offices in Baoding and Hejian on the ground, he flipped through it a little and handed it to Suo'etu who was at the side, Suo'etu closed the memorial and handed it in after only looking at one page. Liang Jiugong, who was at the side, only said:

"The famine of locusts in the Mongolian grasslands was the result of our oversight that led to the dispersal of the refugees and the current situation." After speaking, she glanced sideways at Master Mingzhu who was beside her, and Mingzhu curled her lips slightly and reluctantly said, "Master Suo'etu is right. Wrong, it was because I neglected the crimes that the officials below did not report but concealed, which led to this situation. I also ask the Lord Long Live to come down!"

Suo'etu echoed and stopped talking, only then the emperor raised his head, glanced at him and said with a light smile

"I haven't seen you for a few days. The two lords said that the way is green, and the skill of pointing to the east and drawing the west has improved a lot? I have always relied on the two lords. You two are in a hurry to come to the South Study Room to see me at night, just to say this." I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say a few insignificant words to perfunctory me?" After finishing speaking, the emperor laughed a few times kindly.

When Mingzhu and Suo'etu heard this, they knocked their heads directly on the cold bricks and stones, and they didn't even dare to lift their heads and kept saying:

"The minister is guilty of negligence..."

"I came here today to report this matter to the emperor. Although the ministers were negligent, they were deceived by others! These days... Lord Jin Fu..."

The two of you talked to each other, and the whole South study room was in chaos for a while, Xuan Ye, who was already angry, slapped the table immediately after hearing the messy reply.

"Aren't you finished? Did you two just win the first prize today? Are you so excited that you can't even speak clearly? If you can talk, talk well, if you can't talk, go back quickly! Don't think that you said something The minister is at fault, the minister is at fault, I don't know what you two are thinking!

Well intentioned!Two elders! "

The emperor's words were three parts ironic and seven parts factual. It obviously sounded like naked|naked|naked satirizing the two adults working together to help the elder brother and the prince out of the siege, but the truth was that the two of them irrefutable.

For a while, the quietness of the South Study Room was a bit scary.

Li Jinqing, who had been standing aside waiting and respecting the two important ministers in the court who spoke first, did not wait for the opportunity to speak until this long silence.

"The minister has something to say!"

"You? You're running here at this time, and you're making a mess, what's the mess?" Seeing the three of them coming together, the emperor naturally took it for granted that Li Jinqing had also boarded this thief boat. If it wasn't so, how could it be such a coincidence Everyone must come to see him at this time.

It was not an urgent report from the frontier. He had known about the famine since Horqin Baylor came from the grasslands, and he thought it was under control because of the funds allocated by the DPRK to relieve the disaster.But now it seems... not only has the disaster not been brought under control, it has intensified on the contrary.

Thinking about it this way, the people below have been hiding the truth and not reporting it is nothing more than fear of taking responsibility, and secondly, they are afraid of carefully checking into whose pockets the funds for disaster relief have gone.

Mingzhu and Suo'etu are all veterans and important ministers in the court. Now that the Dongchuang incident has happened, it is normal for someone to ask them to do things.The two of them want to be able to handle things well and solve things, but he doesn't ask him to be as clean and upright as Hai Rui.

But Li Jinqing was someone who absolutely shouldn't mix with them, so he opened his mouth without waiting for the emperor to ask Li Jinqing again.

"Long Live Lord, although I don't understand what you mean by what the two adults said...but I really came here so late today to play the same thing as the two adults." Li Jinqing said without a word. Forget to take out a stack of rice paper from the sleeve.

Xuan Ye was already agitated in his heart, but also thinking that the elder brother was still in the imperial grandmother's palace and disturbed the imperial grandmother, his mind became more and more restless.How can I have the time to watch their memorials over and over again, changing the soup without changing the medicine.

So I just raised my hand and said: "Speak up if you have something to say, and there is no need to submit any memorial. I want to see what flowers you can talk about today!"

Li Jinqing was not in a hurry, but slowly opened the rice paper in his hand and turned to Liang Jiugong. Liang Jiugong took it over with a wink when he saw it, and he was stunned after holding it for a glance.

What does this mean?What was presented was not a memorial, but several locusts of different sizes!

"Master Li..."

"I also ask Eunuch Liang to take the trouble to present Li in front of Long Live God!"

Speaking of which, Li Jinqing also stepped forward and unfolded the package of rice paper more steadily.

"Long live, please look. These are four or five locusts, big and small, that Liu Qinghui and I found when we went to hoe in the suburbs of Beijing today."

Xuan Ye didn't dislike it either, he just leaned forward to take a closer look before he raised his head and asked, "So? A few locusts in this area won't make Beijing's farmland a disaster?"

Li Jinqing rolled up his sleeves, picked up the writing brush in front of the table with one hand, and used the brush to pull the locusts on the rice paper while saying lightly: "Long live, please look, these locusts are the local locusts we caught today. Fat people are full of food, and they are full and never hungry. Look at this one from Mongolia...It is thin and small, and it is full of energy. This kid Liu Qinghui was caught right away."

Xuan Ye frowned, leaned on the cushion, and asked a little funny: "I'm afraid you are joking with me. You have always only known how to read books. Why? You can distinguish between local locusts and Mongolian locusts." Got it? What a nerd, do you know how far it is from the Mongolian grassland to Beijing? Just kidding!"

Li Jinqing looked at the emperor's disbelief, very contemptuous attitude, and said anxiously: "I dare not be false in my words. Although I am a poor scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, Lord Jin Fu and that little boy Liu Qinghui But it’s not! And on the ridges of the fields, the peasants who have turned their faces to the loess and their backs to the sky for generations are not! You may not believe what I say alone, but you still don’t believe what those people say?”

After finishing speaking, Li Jinqing lifted his front and knelt down, his face was very ugly and his eyes were even bloodshot.

"I dare not lie to the Holy Majesty for a moment. The reason why I entered the palace overnight is not that I can't wait for tomorrow, but that the people in the suburbs of Beijing and those thousands of refugees can't wait for tomorrow!" There was a bang.

He looked directly into Xuan Ye's eyes, and said bluntly without fear: "I dare to assert that the famine caused by Mongolian locusts is far more serious than imagined, and the disaster has not been effectively controlled at all. But none of the people below dared to report it. The reason is nothing more than the old-fashioned, either some adults suppressed the food for disaster relief, embezzled the money for disaster relief, or they did not do their best and disregarded the laws of the country."

"Stand up and answer!" Xuan Ye looked at him full of anger, and only then did he realize that Li Jinqing's visit today was not to do something evil, but for the famine in Mongolia.

But Li Jinqing still knelt on the spot indifferently, his eyes even dripping blood, and said word by word: "The more serious thing is...Long live Lord, the locusts didn't eat enough in Mongolia, and they didn't stop at Baoding and the river along the way." If you have enough time to eat, it looks like you are going to rush to our capital!"

"What? You mean there might be a locust plague in the capital?"
