"Your Majesty, Zhang Shixing is really good, I guarantee it with my head!" Qi Qingyu felt that this was a good opportunity for Zhang Shixing, and it also recruited talents for the emperor.
"But, he is a prisoner. I have a reason to..." The emperor said
"You are the emperor, you still have such a reason to release a prisoner. Moreover, Zhang Shixing was wronged and he was harmed. It will be enough to rehabilitate him when the time comes!" Qi Qingwen said so lightly!
"You can only release him by rehabilitating him first! This is the law!" He is the emperor, but he cannot take the lead in violating the law, otherwise it will be difficult to silence the Qi family.
"Isn't it enough to grant amnesty to the whole world? Doesn't the emperor always grant amnesty to the whole world?" Qi Qingyu said. She didn't know when she had this understanding.
"Then you have to find a reason!" the emperor said
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!" An old eunuch came in and knelt in front of the emperor, "Feng Zhaorong just gave birth to a little prince!"
"Really?" The emperor was very happy, not only because he had a son, but also because this son gave him a reason for amnesty.
"Your Majesty, congratulations!" Qi Qingyu only thought of the reason for amnesty and nothing else.
"Come with me and have a look!" the emperor said
Qi Qingyu followed the emperor to Zhaorong Palace. Feng Zhaorong was lying on the bed with a pale face. The nanny and the palace ladies were busy packing the things in the house. The little prince had already been wrapped and was being held by another nanny.
"Come, let me see the prince!" The emperor hugged the little prince in the nanny's arms.
"Your Majesty, you came at the right time!" The Emperor said to the infant, "I will name you Ze to benefit the world!"
"Xiao Shunzi, pass on my will. I have gained the emperor. The whole world will celebrate, benefit all directions, and the world will be amnesty!" After the emperor called the prince a nanny, he ordered Xiao Shunzi.
Although Zhu Ze is the eldest son of Zhu Jin, his mother is only Zhaorong, who has a low status. Moreover, this Feng Zhaorong is not from the Qi family. Naturally, the Queen Mother does not want to see her and does not get rid of her before she gives birth to a son.
Because the emperor had no heirs yet, she could not kill her own grandson. Now that the child was born, Feng Zhaorong could not tolerate it. The only woman who could be the mother of the emperor's son was a woman from the Qi family.
"It's been five years, and I finally see the light of day again!" Zhang Shixing was released due to the general amnesty. "Hahaha..." Zhang Shixing laughed and shed tears. I don't know whether he was happy or sad.
"Brother Zhang!" A woman with whom he had a written bond jumped out of the gorgeous carriage not far away.
"It turns out to be Miss Qi!" Zhang Shixing walked towards her
"Brother Zhang, there is someone who wants to see you!" Zhang Shixing got on the carriage, and Qi Qingwen's groom took them to a quiet courtyard.
"Miss Qi, who wants to see your brother Zhang?" Zhang Shixing asked.
"That's him!" In the bamboo house where Qi Qingyi brought Zhang Shixing, he saw a handsome and handsome figure already waiting there.
"Who are you?" Zhang Shixing couldn't remember that he had ever seen this person before.
"My surname is Zhu, and I am Xiaoyu's cousin. I heard her mention that you are talented, but you were framed and imprisoned. I have always wanted to meet you, but I never had the chance to do so. Today, it is the emperor's general amnesty, and I can finally meet Brother Zhang.
!”
"Miss Qi is exaggerating, Zhang Shixing is just a commoner!" Zhang Shixing was modest.
"Today, I came down to see Brother Zhang. I didn't come to discuss articles with you. I just wanted to talk to Brother Zhang about the locust plague!" The emperor was straightforward and straightforward.
"Locust plague?" Zhang Shixing just came out of prison and didn't know about the locust plague in Biannan.
"There has been a locust plague in Biennan recently, and the emperor has not implemented any practical and effective methods. Therefore, my cousin is a little worried for the victims!" Qi Qingyu explained to Zhang Shixing.
"It turns out that Brother Zhu is also a man who cares about the people and the court!" Zhang Shixing felt happy to meet similar people. Poems and articles can be written by anyone who has read books. However, he can come up with effective measures.
There are not many ways to benefit the people. Zhang Shixing has this talent and the courage to pray for the people.
"Brother Zhang, how do you think the locust plague should be controlled?" Qi Qingyu asked the question, and the emperor was also waiting for Zhang Shixing's answer.
"The locust plague is actually not difficult, as long as we find the natural enemies of the locusts!" After all, Zhang Shixing has traveled to many places and he still understands these things.
"Natural enemy?" the emperor said
"Yes, many poultry or wild birds prey on locusts. If these birds are attracted, we might not be able to control the locusts!" For Zhang Shixing, this problem is indeed not difficult, but he has never done it in practice.
He needed experiments. He also made suggestions to local officials he traveled to, but no one adopted them.
Zhang Shixing has talked about many of the main causes of locust plagues, as well as the principles of some prevention and control methods. He needs the support of the government to conduct further experiments to see if they are really effective.
"Your Majesty, I said Brother Zhang is talented, that's right!" Qi Qingyu said proudly
Zhang Shixing still didn't react. He just looked at the handsome emperor and couldn't believe that he could be received by the emperor just after he was released from prison.
"Brother Zhang!" Qi Qingyu tugged on Zhang Shixing's sleeves and motioned for him to salute quickly.
"Common people join the emperor, long live my emperor!" Zhang Shi saluted. Although he had never met the emperor, he still believed Qi Qingyu's words.
"My beloved, please rise!" The emperor's words made Zhang Shixing a little confused.
"This is the emperor's gift to congratulate you on your release from prison!" Qi Qingwen picked up the imperial edict on the table and gave it to Zhang Shixing
"This is..." Zhang Shi didn't finish his jargon.
"Open it and see for yourself!" the emperor said
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" After Zhang Shixing saw the words in the imperial edict, he gave the Emperor a loud nod and said, "Long live my emperor!"
"Get up quickly!" the emperor said, "I am appointing you as the Nongdu Lieutenant because I want you to go to Biannan Mansion to inspect the disaster situation and examine the methods to deal with it! Do you have any doubts?"
"I thank the Lord for your kindness!" Zhang Shixing was full of gratitude to the Emperor, "I will definitely live up to the Emperor's trust!"
The emperor was willing to condescend like this because he had his own considerations. First, he wanted to see if Zhang Shixing was really as talented as Qi Qingwen said. Second, if he was really talented, he would let Zhang Shixing.
After all, he did not use many real confidants in the dynasty. If he wanted to defeat Qi Yinhou, he had to have his own people.
As soon as the emperor's edict of amnesty was issued, the Qi family, led by Qi Yinhou, complained to the empress dowager. Now the emperor can issue edicts without asking them. They are afraid that the emperor's power is too great.
, their entire family has no place to stand.
"Your Majesty, if Rong Rong gives birth to a child, is it necessary to grant amnesty to the world?" In fact, the Empress Dowager was also very dissatisfied with this matter. She was dissatisfied just because the emperor paid too much attention to children who were not born to women from the Qi family. This
This is not what she wants to see now, she must consider the Qi family
"He is also my son!" After the matter was settled, Qi Qingyu's excitement was over and her heart calmed down. When she heard the emperor talking about his son, she realized one thing clearly. The emperor
She already has a wife, and there is more than one wife. In the future, there will be three thousand beauties in the harem. Moreover, she also has a son. She feels depressed because his handsome face left such a deep impression on her.
Could it be that it was all her own illusion?
"In that case, have you discussed with the Ai family and the ministers about your general amnesty?" What the emperor just said left the Queen Mother with no way to refute, so she had to find other reasons to embarrass the emperor.
"I am the emperor!" The emperor frowned coldly.
"But, Your Majesty, these ministers helped you conquer your world. They helped you defend it. Without them, we and I would have been killed long ago!" In fact, the Emperor's strength is as strong as the king's.
Feng made the Empress Dowager very happy. However, it was not the time for the Emperor to show off his talents yet. She still wanted to show it to the Qi family, "Your Majesty, go to your ancestors to reflect on your past!"
"Don't you even listen to the Queen Mother? You don't even take the Queen Mother seriously!" The Queen Mother pointed at the Emperor and said angrily.
"The emperor dare not!" The emperor was even more resentful towards his mother and queen. She actually wanted to punish him for the sake of the Qi family who forced him all day long. She actually stood on the side of the enemy.
"Queen Mother, actually, Your Majesty..." Qi Qingyun wanted to plead for the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother frowned, and Qi Qingyun shut her mouth knowingly. Although she didn't understand government affairs, she could understand that the Queen Mother
She really cares about her son and really loves the emperor. She will not harm the emperor.
"Your Majesty, he shouldn't make you angry, you must ensure your body!" Qi Qingyu said
"Okay, the Ai family is tired too, you all go back!" The Empress Dowager said to the Qi family members. She was really tired too. She had to maintain the imperial power of their mother and son all day long, as well as the power of her mother's family. However,
Her son didn't understand that her parents' family always pushed her, but there was no way she could just let them go.
"Qingyu, do you also think that the Ai family has been wronged by the Emperor?" The Queen Mother asked, lying on the couch with her eyes closed.
"The Emperor will feel aggrieved, but Qingyu knows that Auntie, you are doing this for the Emperor's good!" Qi Qingyu said while lighting the soothing incense.
"Good boy, you said that, my aunt is very happy, finally there is someone who understands the Ai family!" The Queen Mother opened her eyes, looked at Qi Qingwen and said, "If your father is as considerate as you, the Ai family will also
I won’t be caught between him and the emperor, so tiring!"
"Qingyu will try to persuade the emperor more, although he is not willing to listen to me!" Qi Qingyu said, she also knew that the emperor would sometimes listen to her and persuade her father. Such words, she could not even say.
She won't say it, because her father won't even want to see her if she doesn't speak. If she speaks, her father will be even more angry.
