19. Procrastinate Dendrobium

Gao Yue understood that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were going to let this matter go for the time being. He felt that he could not continue to get entangled, so he paused his head and bowed.

As a result, when his head was just raised, Liu's voice came from his ears: "Gaolang, no matter what, you have betrayed A Ni. So the ugly saying goes ahead. If you have any trouble in the future, go to Lingnan or Fujian, or Cui from Shengpingfang will not give you any help. A Ni will definitely divorce you and remarry. At that time, Gao Lang will only take his concubine's wife to the ends of the world."

What Liu said is by no means false. Women from officials in the Tang Dynasty had the initiative to divorce. Among them, divorces were the most common. For example, Pei Ju's daughter once married Li Wude as her wife, and Wude was exiled to Lingnan for crimes, so his daughter resolutely divorced him.

"What my mother taught me is." So Gao Yue could only bury his head deeply.

"Now you don't need to call my mother." Liu's tone was still full of anger.

"Only...ah...no, Mrs. Guanghan."

"You don't have to do this to Gaolang..." As a result, before Cui Ning finished speaking, she was furious and was frightened by the pink-faced Liu. Cui Ning was so scared that she immediately touched her beard and did not dare to say anything again.

Cui Zhai didn't even entertain dinner. After Gao Yue said goodbye, he could only ride a horse and ride the evening drum of Chang'an City to return to his own Jiadili in Xuanpingfang.

Fortunately, this time he entered Beijing, he handed over the entire Xingyuan Mansion to Wei Ping, and brought a group of officials including Liu De's room. Therefore, this A-League is now more like an inn, with someone responsible for making fires and cooking.

"Yi Song, this feels a bit like when I was in the five rooms in Shengdaofang, and I was in Taofen's shed together!" Liu Deshi and a group of Xingyuan officials sat in the corridor for a few banquets, talking and laughing.

But this sentence aroused Gao Yue's worries. He put down his chopsticks before eating much, walked to the pavilion in the east courtyard, looking at the pool dyed by the sunset, looking at the dragonflies flying around with his eyes, thinking of the past, he couldn't help but feel guilty and regret. Although it was Yun He's kiss at the beginning, it was not because he was fascinated by his own dew?

At that time, he was so determined to be with Tang An, but why did he defeat him in front of his wife and sister?

As he thought about it, Gao Yue was a little shocked. Could it be that there was indeed some kind of gene that was against morality in his body?

However, now the road has reached this point, and he cannot escape and turn around.

In addition, in the current situation, Gao Yue cannot do too much self-examination in his soul, because Yanying Palace's question, which is related to the direction of the whole world, is about to begin.

On the fourth day of the October 10th, when the eaves of the three halls of Daming Palace were just lifted open, the morning mist coiled on Longshou Mountain, the drum beats of the Jinwu Courtyard began to sound, and the rising sun of the empire once again rumbled out in this punctual sound.

Between the pillars of the small Yanying Hall, five prime ministers stood in the first row. Only the Secretariat Xiao Fu, the Minister of the Secretariat, had just returned from Heyang and had not yet passed Tongguan. Behind them were densely packed with envoys from various places, sitting in their seats. The scale of this summoning was rare.

Beside the rope bed where Emperor Li Shi was sitting, there was a purple-robed official standing as the emperor, Meng Guangcheng, the envoy of the Palm Slave, and Yin Zhizhen, who had just taken office as the Secret Secretariat of the Si Jinwu. On the side was Liu Zhenliang, the envoy of the North and South of Xuanhuiyuan. The fifth guard was all the eunuchs who had recently gained power. Although they were called escorts, they could never express any opinions in the hall. In essence, they were all the emperor's "confidants". Li Shi now has this group of people by his side. Facing the fierce ministers, the governors could take up the courage to confront each other.

In the corner beside the imperial throne, all the Hanlin bachelors were sitting, mostly in blue shirts, and most of their roles were to listen and give opinions if necessary.

"It seems that this emperor has understood the goodness of eunuchs. Sooner or later, the power of eunuchs will penetrate into all aspects of political affairs, military affairs and financial planning." Gao Yue thought silently.

Soon, Li Shi raised the issue, the first one was the issue of the locust plague in Guanzhong.

Just as Zhang Yanshang was about to say something, Han Huan in the shift took two steps forward, then bowed to the emperor with a tablet, bowed to him again, shouted aloud, then got up to dance, and after bowing, he reported this matter was very simple, "The southeast hubu rice can be delivered to Shanzhou on the same day. After passing Sanmenxia, ​​he can be transported to Weikou by Yongtong Canal to enter the capital. The first batch of Changgang ships can carry 600,000 hu (stones). This locust plague will be able to calm down."

The emperor nodded on the rope bed, but his heart was bleeding: "I know that the military and civilians in the capital, including my own life, are all in your hands. So I used your younger brother Han Hui as the Jin Shang defense envoy, but you didn't say you sent it to the capital, but only said you sent it to Shanzhou. What does it mean? Do you think I don't understand?"

So the emperor coughed twice awkwardly, then looked at Han Huan, hoping that he would continue to speak, but Han Huan lowered his head, the flesh of his cheeks hanged down, and his deep bags of eyes and strong beard made him look particularly powerful. Then—the Nanyang Gong stopped talking, saying that it was the emperor's turn that you sent a prayer. If you want my 600,000 stone rice, you have to express your attitude, right?

Over there, Zhang Yanshang was silent again.

After a long time, the emperor could only yell twice and turn to Li Mi, the attendant of the Sanqi and the defensive commander of Shaanxi and Guo.

When Li Mi was still in Penglai Palace, he was considered half of Li Shi's teacher;

In addition, the canal transportation in Sanmenxia is also managed by Li Mi.

"Li Qing, I have recently heard that there are many dangerous situations in the Sanmenxia, ​​Shaanxi Province. Is this true?

Li Mi half opened his beautiful eyes and his tone was also very stable: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have sent my husband to drive three land routes on the shore of Shuangdi's three gulfs, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one for return. The ship will deliver the goods ashore. After traveling eighteen miles by land, we will go west of Shuangdi and carry them on the ship, and there will be no danger of falling off the reef and capsizing."

"Good, great kindness!" The emperor couldn't help but clap his hands and scream.

Then he stared at Li Mi, and the hidden meaning was "Li Qing, Li Qing, tell me quickly, and I will transport the food to the capital with Han Huan immediately. Yongtongqu and Sanmenxia are all under your jurisdiction."

But in front of the emperor's eyes, Li Mi did not confirm any of it. Like Han Huan, he lowered his eyes and did not say anything further.

The emperor on the rope bed finally couldn't help it. He understood that these powerful ministers and other elites were able to finally suppress me by taking advantage of the locust plague in Guanzhong. It seems that I would not take the initiative to express my intention to build a city in Pingliang today, and I would definitely not be able to pass this level.

Just as the emperor was about to speak, Zhang Yanshang suddenly spoke:

"Your Majesty, the rice dumplings are already within the two taxes levied by the court. Now that the civil strife has subsided, the grain transportation in the southeast is smooth. If there is a slight delay in the rice and grain in the southeast, your Majesty can first ask to transfer money and grain from Sanchuan for emergency response."

Three rivers are three places: Shannan West Road, Dongchuan and Xichuan.

Of course, it also includes Gao Yue's Xingyuan and Wei Gao's Fengxing.

Yan Zhen, the Banan observation commander who had just been under Baima Xuan, immediately left the list, saying that when I replaced me, I had prepared all the rice dumplings and could be transported to the capital immediately.

Yan Zhen’s subtext is: I am so poor in Banan, and I have prepared Hu Dou rice. You Gao Yue, Wei Gao and Li Sheng, what else do you have to say?

Sure enough, the emperor applauded and then turned his attention to Gao Yue.
