Relaxation

Relaxation

The matter was not discussed at the big court meeting, but the emperor's decision was obtained at the small court meeting three days later.

Increasing military pay will not increase military pay. In the ten years since the founding of the Shang Dynasty, in order to resist foreign enemies and prevent civil strife, military pay has been increased twice.

People's hearts are full of dissatisfaction. It is precisely because of these two increases in military pay that some people have tasted the benefits.

"I am going to personally see the post-disaster reconstruction. As for these spring seeds, I also want to personally deliver them to the people."

As soon as Lu Sheige finished speaking, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone, headed by Prime Minister Gongsun, knelt down in a hurry and urged in unison: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it."

Prime Minister Gongsun said: "Your Majesty, you are the body of a real dragon. How can I let you do such a thing and take such a risk?"

Zhou Yang also took a step forward and said: "If Your Majesty wants to go, I am willing to escort Your Majesty there."

Prime Minister Gongsun shouted loudly: "Zhou Yang, be careful what you say."

The emperor went out of the palace to deliver clothes and food to the victims. Not to mention the chaos outside, even the emperor's body couldn't bear the severe cold.

The winter snow outside has not completely melted yet.

"I have made up my mind. General Zhou will send people to escort us. Let's disperse."

After saying that, Lu Sheige didn't care about the faces of the courtiers and got up directly to go back to the palace. However, this time she didn't forget Chen Luxing who was holding the small silver pot and was seriously drinking the last sip of goat's milk.

She was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk nonsense with others.

I just took this opportunity to go out to relax and see how serious the disaster was outside.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, she went to Jiangjiaba to celebrate the New Year. She actually wanted to go out and see the people after the snow disaster.

Unfortunately, two little things, Chen Luxing and Chen Yuan, got in the way and she only left Tangyi. This town across the river from the capital was much richer than the villages and towns below, and she couldn't see the real situation after the disaster.

Lu Xiangge wanted to leave the palace to see the victims of the disaster.

After receiving the news, not only the Queen Mother, who was cultivating herself in the palace, eating fast and chanting Buddha's name, but also the sick Queen could not hold back and ran to the Tai Chi Hall wrapped in the cold.

Seeing Gongsun Wanying who came to Tai Chi Hall in a hurry without even bothering to put on makeup, Lu Sheige felt soft.

In the past, when the second brother was here, Gongsun Wanrong would not easily step into the gate of Tai Chi Hall without summoning the queen. Even if she did come, she would have to be beautifully dressed.

But this time, she came to the Tai Chi Hall without recovering from her illness, her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale, which showed how anxious she was.

"Sister...Your Majesty."

The queen hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed. After Eunuch Cheng led the eunuchs to retreat, she asked hurriedly: "I heard that you are going to provide disaster relief?"

"Um."

Lu Sheige nodded and asked the queen to sit down, "Sister-in-law, don't panic, drink some tea to warm yourself up first."

"What kind of tea are you drinking? Do you know how terrible the disaster victims are?"

Gongsun Wanying was anxious, and regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, she sat down next to Lu Xiangge and started scolding her.

"Let me tell you, I have seen disaster victims who would kill for half a bun. There are also some who dare to abandon their own children just to survive. If you go, just in case... if you encounter any danger

, what will happen to me and the children?”

As she talked, Gongsun Wanying couldn't help crying.

She is the daughter of the prime minister's family, and she and her mother will help each other every winter, so it's not like she doesn't know anything.

The emperor died, her husband and the father of her child were gone, but she did not dare to cry aloud.

The maids and eunuchs in the palace all thought that she fell ill because she came to the emperor and got angry.

But she didn't know that she would rather be angry with the emperor than let him give up so early and leave them orphans and widowers.

Now, in front of Lu Shege, she could no longer hold back and vented all the pain in her heart.

Outside the hall, Eunuch Cheng heard the faint crying coming from inside, and his expression changed slightly.

After thinking about it, he asked the little eunuchs at the door to step back.

And he himself consciously stayed away from the palace door, so far away that no matter how sharp his ears were, he couldn't hear what was going on inside.

The princess and queen are so pitiful, and the most pitiful one is the queen mother.

Thinking of the Queen Mother's white hair, Cheng Fangyuan felt sour and bitter in her heart.

He still remembered the Queen Mother's appearance when she was young, which could be described as unparalleled beauty.

Who would have thought that that beautiful and kind-hearted girl would become the queen mother of a country and lose her child because her husband won the country.

Now, there are really only a group of orphans and widows left in this palace.

If he doesn't stand up, who knows who will bully these helpless women and children.

He will never allow this.

Cheng Fangyuan sighed slightly and thought of the queen's cry again.

The Queen's visit must be because the Emperor said he was going to provide disaster relief, and the Queen was worried.

Yes, who can rest assured?

Even he was equally uneasy and thought about whether he should talk to the Queen Mother and ask her to stop him.

But when the queen cried just now, Eunuch Cheng suddenly woke up again.

The emperor now is not the emperor before. Not only is she in good health, she is also smart. The emperor must have her own purpose in going to provide disaster relief.

If he stopped him, wouldn't he disappoint the emperor?

Otherwise, he could bring some people to escort the emperor out of the palace. As long as he has this old life, he will never let bad guys get even half a step closer to the emperor.

When the Queen Mother sent someone over, Mr. Cheng stood in a daze a dozen steps away from the palace door.

The little palace maid Yu'e sent the little prince here in the morning, that talkative little girl.

Seeing Eunuch Cheng standing outside the main hall, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Eunuch Cheng, the Queen Mother sent a servant to invite the emperor to sit in the Tai Chi Hall."

"Now?"

Eunuch Cheng frowned in embarrassment, "The Emperor and the Queen are talking inside now. Why don't you go back and talk to the Queen Mother and ask her to wait."

If this were said to any eunuch in the palace, Yu'e would be able to slap him with a big ear scraper.

The Queen Mother wants to see the Emperor, but someone dares to call her Queen Mother and so on.

However, if this person were to be the Emperor's confidant, Eunuch Cheng, that would be another matter. After all, Eunuch Cheng was the Queen Mother's servant at the time.

Yu'e was afraid that Eunuch Cheng would misunderstand the meaning of her visit, so she hurriedly explained: "Eunuch Cheng, my servants didn't hide anything from you. The Queen Mother heard rumors that the emperor wanted to go out of the palace to relieve the disaster, so she asked the servants to come to invite the emperor. Since

The Queen Mother is here, so please go in and report to Eunuch Cheng, saying that the Queen Mother would like to invite Your Majesty and the Queen Mothers to sit together at Renshou Palace."

"That……"

Cheng Fangyuan hesitated for a moment and then said, "Then the Za family will go in and ask. Miss Yu'e, please wait outside."

When they heard that the Queen Mother had met, Lu Shengge and Gongsun Wanying hurriedly got up and washed their hands and wiped their faces. Gongsun Wanying even touched up her makeup at the Emperor's place.

After all, she didn’t look good after crying. If she didn’t touch up her makeup, she was afraid that she would be embarrassed to see others.
