Chapter 82

"Oh, isn't that the red man in the capital? He earned a lot of silver. Why didn't the emperor take any gifts for his birthday?"

At this time, the officials in the palace discussed.

"Yes, she didn't even take the birthday gift. I'll see how the emperor punished him later."

At this time, Xia Wei is also among them. When he hears this, he doesn't say a word, but he cheers in his heart.

"Well, my lords, it's someone else's business. It must be their own arrangement." Xia Wei hypocritical said.

"The prime minister is right." All the officials around flattered.

"Well, Lord Xue, let's go to the banquet first." Xia Wei hears adults flatter also not many words, joyful and they walked into the banquet.

At this time, Xia Yiyi walked leisurely in the palace, although it was not the first time to enter the palace, but every time he came, he was still very shocked.

"Wow, the ancients are really powerful. Only they can make such a beautiful building." Xia Yiyi looked around at the huge palace and sighed.

"Miss, don't look around like this. It will show that we are very ignorant." Beside the Lianchao pulled Xia Yiyi's clothes, want to stop Xia Yiyi's behavior.

"Ouch, I really haven't seen the world. I'm not coming to see it. I have to see more, don't you think?" Xia Yiyi looks at the appearance that Lianchao doesn't dare to look up, joking.

"Miss!" see stop useless, Lianchao also didn't think Miss's face how can be so thick.

"Well, let's go to the banquet to save others from gossiping." Xia Yiyi sees so, the idea that strolls big garden has to give up.

"Wow, it turns out that the banquet in the palace is so luxurious. My God, the cups are all carved with top-quality jade." Xia Yiyi picked up the cup in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Miss, pay attention to your image." Lianchao continues to remind Xia Yiyi.

Xia Yiyi saw that someone really looked at him with scornful eyes, so he had to give up.

At the beginning of the banquet, after singing and dancing, it was time for ministers to give gifts. Xia Wei, the prime minister, was the ninth to give gifts. In front of them were all gifts from Princes. One of the most eye-catching is the fifth prince, Huangpu Zhuo: "father, this is the blessing of the people from all over the world to wish father and emperor, I wish father and emperor a better life and a stable country." Then the eunuch beside her took down the heavy paper in her hand.

The emperor did not speak, but others began to discuss, "what's the use of being smart? He will never be the prince. It's also a waste of effort. Alas! "

" although this gift is good, it's a pity that it's from the fifth prince. "

" OK, OK, everyone keep your voice down! " The official who couldn't see it stopped the discussion around him.

Xia Yiyi looked up to the fifth Prince again, and saw that he was standing there awkwardly waiting for the emperor to let him back, just at this time, "back down!"

Cold tone, from today's birthday of the emperor's mouth spit out.

"Thank you, father." Huangpu Zhuo didn't care, so he stooped down.

"Your Majesty, I have got the best snow in the sky. This is a once-in-a-hundred-year event. It's not melting for a hundred years. The cold air is cool. Now it's in the heat. It's just for use. Finally, I wish the country of Liang a prosperous and strong country and the Emperor a better life than Nanshan." With that, Xia Wei's mouth rises. It's said that the emperor can't sleep well every night in recent days, which must be very popular with the emperor.

"Ai Qing is really hard. I can't sleep well these days. With this, I can sleep well. Ai Qing, step down!" The emperor saw the fine snow and immediately played with it. I was very happy.

See the emperor so happy appearance, Xia Wei heart will settle down.

"I'm very curious to see that Xia Taishou came empty handed, and I don't know what gift he brought." Xia Wei said and did not retreat, but put the spearhead on Xia Yiyi.

"Ah!" just in a daze, Xia Yiyi thought that someone would call his name so soon, and thought that it would take about three or four hours for his turn.

The emperor saw Xia Yiyi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and looked at Xia Yiyi. He saw that she really didn't have anything around her and frowned.

"I have a gift." Xia Yiyi has no choice but to get up and salute and explain.

"It's a gift from an officer." Said Xia Yiyi from his sleeve out of a bunch of rice.

The eunuchs around the emperor came and went. When the officials saw Xia Yiyi's rice, they all laughed, "what's this? You're too shabby, marshal Xia! " The next Lord Xue said.

"It's not ordinary rice. It's the rice for city tour." Xia Yiyi saw that some people questioned him, so he explained.

"Patrol the city? Who doesn't know that the patrol city has been dry for a month, and there is no medicine for rice. How can there be rice? " One of the ministers wondered.

"My Lord, I can testify that this is the rice for patrolling the city. A few days ago, the governor of Xia sent people to relieve the disaster." The patrol official explained.

"Oh, I want to know, Xia Yiyi, how did you save rice?" Listen to the ministers below, you say a word, I say a word, the emperor came to interest, asked.

"Tell the emperor that I brought water from the lake to irrigate the seedlings between the paddy fields, and add nutrient solution to the water, which is what the seedlings need. This is my gift to the emperor. Only when the country is peaceful and the people are safe, can the emperor really feel at ease." Xia Yiyi explained in a loud voice."It's really a good seedling." The emperor looked at the grain in his hand again, and his face was very happy. "Reward, reward. It's really rare that Aiqing has done so much for the country and the people. Now, Aiqing, I will make you county magistrate and give you ten thousand taels of gold." The emperor was so happy that he added Xia Yiyi.

"Thank you, my Lord. Long live the emperor." Xia Yiyi listen to this, a happy heart, busy kowtow to the emperor.

"Emperor, I don't know if the emperor knows anything." Xia Yijin continued.

"Aiqing, let's just say it." The emperor looks at Xia Yiyi doubtfully, and there are things he doesn't know.

"A few days ago, because of the drought in the city, the emperor couldn't eat and sleep well. As the prime minister, he ignored the matter, ignored the common people in the city, and engaged in corruption. He competed maliciously in business and lost money. He stayed in Chunxiang building all night and didn't return home." Xia Yiyi did not look up, methodically said Xia Wei's crime.

"Emperor, it is true." When the ministers below saw that someone had denounced them, they reconsidered them one by one.

"Ai Qing, what should be the crime." Hearing this, the emperor was very angry and turned to look at Xia Wei.

"If a minister knows his crime, he will come here only when he is framed." Xia Wei was startled by the emperor's calendar sound, and immediately knelt down to plead guilty.

"I'm clean and honest. When did I make such a mistake? I was really framed that day." Xia Wei quickly shirks responsibility.

"Then I ask you, who did you set up?" The emperor still asked harshly.

"I don't know." Xia Wei a shake, is really don't know, but he will never go to Chunxiang building.

"When you say someone framed you, ask who, and you say you don't know, are you teasing me?" The emperor asked.
