"Although I went back to the capital, it seems that I was separated from the frontier, in fact, it is not. General Qi, who is now guarding the frontier and commanding the three armies, is my close friend. In order to hide Xiao Qirong's eyes and ears, I played a drama of cutting his robe and breaking his righteousness with him. But over the years, we have been secretly communicating with each other. If something happens in the capital, he will help the Marquis house. In case When you are in a desperate situation, you can go to the border to find him. "
"General Qi?" Chu Zhi's eyelids jumped fiercely, "but... General Qi, the cold-faced God of war?"
At last, Chu Zhi almost changed his cavity.
Zhongyong Hou only thought she was too surprised and didn't take it to heart. He joked, "who else can there be in the world except him?"
God... Chu Zhi was stunned.
Yes, she remembered that in her previous life, master mentioned the stereotype of loyal and brave Hou more than once. He only knew loyalty, but he didn't know how to protect his life. He buried hundreds of lives in vain. Chu Zhi remembered it firmly because Han Zhan was the sworn enemy of Gu Changyan.
As a result, at a critical juncture, I almost forgot about it!
She finally understood that the master's scolding of Zhongyong Hou's house was not disgusting, nor was it a crackdown, but a painful wrists and head. It was the death and injustice of a distressed and sad friend.
What kind of fate is this? In her previous life, she became general Qi's Apprentice. In this life, she married into Zhongyong Hou's house, and general Qi and Zhongyong Hou are friends of life and death... This fate is really the coincidence of his aunt!!!
Later, Chu Zhi didn't know how he came back to the room, so he was dizzy.
Even Dong'Er didn't respond to her question.
The more you know, the more doubts Chu Zhi has in his heart.
Zhongyong Hou's residence and the Wei family are relatives. The Wei family is an old minister in the court. Even if only one concubine is a five-level junior official in the court, others are distributed in various places of Daliang, teaching and educating people, and the world is full of peaches and plums.
At the same time, Hou Zhongyong and general Qi are friends of life and death. It goes without saying that general Qi's reputation in the frontier, not to mention that there are so many gold and silver treasures, grain and grass weapons in Hou Zhongyong's house.
Since Hou's residence has figured out the future, why would they be copied by the whole family in previous lives? And the original charges came too fast and absurd. Just because he participated in witchcraft with the crown prince, he was convicted. In just a few days, all but Han Zhan were executed together?
It's so weird and incredible.
The more you think about it, the more you find the flaws.
So, what happened in the previous life? So that the Marquis house was destroyed overnight?
……
The next day, Chu Zhi and Zhongyong Hou had a secret conversation. They heard that ten old ministers braved the heat to go to the palace and asked his majesty to allocate some relief money to deal with the drought.
Before that, Emperor Xiao had allocated money twice, but corruption existed in all dynasties and could not be eradicated. Therefore, Emperor Xiao sent Hai Xiuyan to investigate the case. As for the disaster relief money sent by the people, you can think of a way.
The embezzled silver has come to your pockets. Naturally, those people will spit it out again. As for how to spit out the money they eat, it depends on the skills of Gu Changyan and Han Zhan.
Emperor Xiao deliberately forced them to handle the case by this means, but the disaster is urgent, and the people in deep water can't afford to wait!
In desperation, the old ministers made such a bad decision.
Don't say, these old ministers are really backbone. After staring at the scorching sun and kneeling in front of the palace for two days, Emperor Xiao finally allocated disaster relief funds.
Then his Highness the prince began to raise money and donate grain in the city and transport it to all parts of the country. Before long, Han Zhan and Gu Changyan also heard good news that haixiuyan's case had been investigated and a lot of grain and gold had been copied from the corrupt official's house, which was a solution to the urgent need.
The king Xiao was deeply gratified that the crown prince had made a contribution. He rewarded the crown prince and followed his example to hit the crown prince and study hard.
The fourth prince was not satisfied, and Chu Xi gave an idea.
"I have a plan. I don't know what to say."
"You say."
"My father is obsessed with fairies and strives to live forever. He has no doubt about these. The reason why the crown prince can do meritorious service this time is that the old ministers knelt in front of the palace and begged his majesty to release the disaster relief silver. The crown prince picked up the leak and asked the aristocratic family dignitaries in the city to donate food. Now the crown prince has a good reputation and is praised by the emperor and the people, but the aristocratic family dignitaries are afraid they will be angry and take out the money They are the ones who have the silver and grain. Why should all the benefits fall on the crown prince alone? Your highness, do you think they will be happy? "
"You mean..."
"What your highness can do, your highness can do naturally."
"What kind of disaster relief silver do you want me to follow the prince?" the fourth Prince frowned. "Just pick up people's teeth and wisdom. If there is anything wrong, it will become a laughing stock. Moreover, with the prince's pearl jade in front, no matter how well I do, my father will not see my efforts."
"Your Highness misunderstood. How could I ask you to do this?" Chu Xi smiled softly. "I asked you to advise your father and go to the Dragon King Temple to ask for rain. Which drought in the past dynasties did not ask for rain? Moreover, this is something that moved heaven. It can not only reflect your father's benevolence, understand the people's feelings, but also do not need those aristocratic families to pay money. They will wholeheartedly support your highness."
When his highness was happy, he suddenly thought, "if the rain is good, what if it is not?"
"Your Highness is confused. Didn't you send several Taoists to your father? Those Taoists must be capable, otherwise they won't be left by your father for nearly half a year. First ask those Taoists to calculate, see what month and day is suitable for rain, and then make preparations and hold them more." Chu Xi said, "Besides, even if it doesn't work, it's no big deal. Anyway, your majesty has done everything he should do. It's not up to your father to decide if it doesn't rain. Those ministers can't say anything. Your father is most annoyed by the old ministers. After this, your father can be quiet for a few days. As soon as your father is in a good mood, you will be rewarded!"
The fourth Prince's eyes were full of joy: "yes, I didn't think of it!"
Chu Xi covered her mouth with a fan and said with a smile, "Your Highness is the one who wants to do great things. I'll just leave this little thing to me to think of a way for you. Why bother you."
The fourth Prince hugged Chu Xi and kissed him fiercely: "if you are really my little lucky star, wait, I'll go to the palace to see my father emperor."
As Chu Xi expected, Emperor Xiao was greatly moved after listening to the proposal of the fourth prince. Coupled with the Queen's lobbying, he nodded and agreed without hesitation.
After the king's heavenly supervisor was ordered to calculate and add what the magician said, he decided to go to Qiyu in the Dragon King Temple in five days.
Because of the hasty decision, the etiquette Department hurried to get busy again. All the busy feet were off the ground. Finally, on the day of praying for rain, all the matters were ready.
The emperor has always been obsessed with asking for rain in order to have a good weather and a bumper harvest.
When Emperor Xiao first ascended the throne, he met Qi Yu every year. However, in recent years, he has been addicted to wine and sex, singing and dancing every day, and has long forgotten this matter. Therefore, there are rumors that emperor Xiao is unkind to the king, which is why there is a severe drought.
