Chapter 282 Changes in the sky
Li Wei raised his foot and kicked Kong Gui, "I don't need you to look for me."
Everyone knows that Li Wei likes beautiful women, but he has never even touched a girl's hand.
They laughed and cursed loudly along the way.
Zhao Hang stood next to Shang Yan, "Your Majesty. Is Kong Gui really that man's man?"
Shang Yan looked at a leaf blown by the wind.
The leaves circled in the air and fell to the ground.
"No matter who he is, Kong Gui is a talented person. He should know what will happen if he follows that person." Shang Yan turned around and went back to the tent. "After tomorrow night, you will send the news to the capital as soon as possible."
"Yes." Zhao Hang hesitated and said, "But is that really necessary?"
"We have never been able to find the mastermind behind the treason, so we have to resort to this trick."
"You will finally understand."
……
Su Rutang in the capital city sensed the tension in the city.
Many unfamiliar faces entered the capital.
The sky has been clear these days.
Occasionally, a few falcons flew through the air.
A dive.
It fell somewhere unknown.
Shangqi was already in the imperial study, attending to government affairs.
He won't speak.
He only listened to Su Rutang and Bo Luohui discussing state affairs.
Shangqi would get up every morning to practice martial arts and would appear on time without fail.
The rest of the time is spent on attending to government affairs.
Reading and practicing calligraphy.
Bo Luohui assigned a lot of homework, but Shangqi never said anything. If he felt sleepy occasionally, he would get up and practice sword skills to make himself more energetic and continue to complete the homework assigned by Bo Luohui.
It will be much easier than Yaoyao.
She also read and wrote, practiced martial arts, and read some classics and policy essays.
Yaoyao said that as a princess, she must shoulder the responsibilities of a princess. In the future, she will help Shangqi handle government affairs or ride a horse to kill the enemy.
The efforts of the two children were seen by everyone.
Bo Luohui felt very comforted.
Compared to the late emperor, a prince like Shangqi is much less of a worry.
Looking at all the young princes and princesses in the court, none of them are as hardworking as these two children, and they also have a natural sensitivity to government affairs.
The news reached the Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother felt even more headache after hearing this.
She has had headaches lately.
There was agarwood burning in the room.
Her hair has gradually turned white, and she still feels a stinging pain on her head when she smells the agarwood. "Put some more incense in there, the smell is too light."
The maid had no choice but to respond and go down.
The room was filled with the strong scent of agarwood, which made them smell bad when they went out.
Su Rutang doesn't have much agarwood available.
There were only some scraps of wood for them.
When Aunt Liu Yi was adding incense, she was seen by the Queen Mother. A trace of displeasure appeared on her old face, "Why are you using such a thing? Even the respectable servants in the palace don't use this."
"Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and exchange it for some good water agarwood."
Aunt Lianhe, who was massaging the empress dowager's shoulders, hurriedly said, "The empress dowager cut down on the palace's expenses, and the old people of the previous emperor were all released. Now the only ones left in the palace are the concubines who gave birth to princes and princesses.
It is said that the daily vegetable supply has been reduced a lot. We can only get incense sticks once a month in the Cining Palace, and it is only two taels of incense sticks. "
The Queen Mother cursed.
"Ask the Dou family to send some to the palace."
"Dou family?" Aunt Lianhe hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke: "It was revealed that the Dou family had occupied someone else's farm in the early years. The matter of the farmland in Qin County was also investigated.
It is said that many people in Qin County died of starvation and freezing. In previous years, if they went to the county magistrate, they would be suppressed. Even if they wanted to file a complaint with the state government, they would be killed halfway.
Now the county magistrate said he was a relative of Empress Su and showed no mercy. The eldest uncle of the Dou family sent silver and gold to him, and he took them and put them directly into the warehouse of Qin County. He said it was a little compensation from the Dou family to the people of Douqin County, and it would be converted into grain for the people in autumn.
Those unruly people were probably instigated by others. They had no food to eat and starved to death, and they blamed the Dou family for occupying their land. Besides, the Dou family made them long-term laborers and rented the land to them for cultivation.
They are so ungrateful. They really don’t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. They think that if they report it to the county government, someone will take care of it for them…”
The Dou family had already sent the letter in.
Lianhe saw that the Queen Mother had not been sleeping well or eating well these days, and was afraid that she would get angry and go to the Queen again, causing more trouble.
I kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone.
"When did this happen?" The Queen Mother interrupted her and scolded, "Why didn't you say anything? Last year, I told Tianya and the others not to go too far.
Qin County wanted to arrange for its own officials to go there. He didn't care. Now that something had happened, he had to be able to take care of it himself. "
The Queen Mother was furious.
She slapped Lianhe on the face, "Bitch, you've been hiding things from me."
Lianhe was slapped.
I dare not tell the difference.
He knelt down, laid on the ground and held his breath.
All the other palace maids and eunuchs knelt down.
"Ask Dou Tiansheng to come to the palace."
"Her Majesty, the Queen does not allow anyone to enter the palace. Anyone entering the palace must have a badge issued by Commander Huo of the Imperial Guards. Even Madam Dou cannot enter the palace casually."
Lianhe said this and lay on the ground again.
The Queen Mother stood up.
After calming down a little, he spoke: "Lianhe. Ask the mute slave to come over."
"Yes."
The Queen Mother knew that she had to take action. She couldn't let Su Rutang continue like this, otherwise the Dou family would disappear from the capital.
This day's court session.
Su Rutang's right eyelid kept twitching.
She felt something was wrong.
When entering the Golden Palace, Su Rutang ordered Qingdai to bring Shangqi and Yaoyao into the secret room.
Qingdai: “…”
"My lady. Is that so...?"
"I don't know. I was frightened by what happened before. My right eye kept twitching today. You should listen to me and take them to the secret room. Then find Huo Mi and ask him to pay attention to whether there is anything unusual at the palace gate."
Su Rutang raised his head slightly.
Looking along the palace wall toward the clear sky, a falcon flew by. Someone shot an arrow with it, and the falcon fell to the ground.
Qingdai and Su Rutang looked at each other.
"Your Majesty. This is for you." Qingdai put a bracelet on Su Rutang's wrist.
Su Rutang was already wearing a bracelet with a mechanism on his wrist, and now he was wearing another one.
"Go quickly."
"Yes."
Qingdai hurried away.
Just as Su Rutang was about to walk away, Chunxi came running over. She put her hand on Su Rutang's shoulder and said, "Your Majesty, I will accompany you inside."
Su Rutang entered the Golden Palace.
Bo Luohui happened to be talking about Qin County. "Not only did they occupy the people's land, but they also oppressed the people and made them work like slaves. After paying taxes on the grain from the land throughout the year, there was not enough food to even give to the employer. How can they survive?"
