When Qian Delu saw Lin Jue, he smiled and said, "Master Lin, are you here to deliver medicine again? I haven't finished the medicine last time. But it doesn't matter. Give the things to our family. The emperor is talking to the prince, the queen, the concubine and the others.
I am admiring the snow and it is inconvenient to see Mr. Lin. We will just hand over the things to the Emperor."
Lin Jue knew what he was talking about, shook his head and said: "I'm not here to deliver medicine, I'm here to see the emperor. You must have told the emperor that I have something important to see the emperor. Eunuch Qian, please let me know."
Qian Delu frowned and said, "But there are ladies in the harem here, how can you go see them?"
Lin Jue said: "For military and state affairs, even if the emperor is sleeping, he has to wake up. Mr. Qian, don't you know that there are some things that cannot be delayed?"
Qian Delu frowned and said, "That's all, we'll just take you to see him. Mr. Lin seems to have some objections to our family recently. Did our family offend you? Why are you so disrespectful to our family?"
After Lin Jue knew that he suspected Qian Delu was Lu Zhongtian's internal agent, his view of Qian Delu changed drastically. His every move was suspicious, so naturally he no longer had a good look towards him. It seemed that Qian Delu
I felt it too.
"Eunuch Qian has thought too much. How could I dare to be rude to Eunuch Qian? It's just that there is something urgent and I must see the emperor. Please forgive me, Eunuch Qian." Lin Jue cupped his hands and said.
Qian Delu smacked his lips and said, "That's all. Since you are dedicated to the emperor, our family won't care about you. Come with me."
Lin Jue followed Qian Delu to the back hall garden. Qian Delu went to report Guo Chong. Lin Jue stood waiting at the round door. Heavy snow fell, and the sound of laughter from silk and bamboo came from the garden. It must be Guo Chong.
Lin Jue and his concubines were admiring the dancing snow scene. Lin Jue suddenly thought of two poems in his heart: The bones of Zhumen are frozen to death on the road where wine and meat are smelly. The kings and their concubines and princes in the palace ran away because of the snow.
Come to watch the laughter, but I don’t know how many ordinary people’s homes are sad because of the heavy snow.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the East and West Road area of Beijing. Although the relief work has been carried out in an orderly manner, and the centralized relief and counterpart assistance have also achieved results. The basic life of the people can be guaranteed, but it is just barely coping.
Three days ago, Yang Xiu wrote a letter saying that the temporary shacks were extremely ineffective in keeping out the cold. Although no one died of starvation, many people became sick from the cold, and some people died because of illness. On the first day of the Lunar New Year,
In Yingtian Mansion alone, more than 30 people froze to death in one city, which is very sad.
Lin Jue also knew that things could not be perfect. This relief work was generally very successful. After the chaos, people's hearts were able to stabilize. To a large extent, the subsequent relief and appeasement work was on point.
However, after this heavy snowfall, roads will be blocked again, and material delivery will be delayed. After the snow, the weather will become extremely cold. Some shacks may collapse under the weight of the snow. These will bring greater disaster to the people.
Hurt. Although Guo Chong had attached great importance to the relief work, when he heard the laughter and laughter of these people, Lin Jue could not help but recall those two famous verses.
The sound of footsteps came, and Qian Delu stood in the round door and waved to Lin Jue. Lin Jue shook his head, got rid of his thoughts and walked towards Qian Delu.
"The emperor is in the pavilion, and you are allowed to come and see him. However, Lin Jue, it is rare that the emperor is in a happy mood today. If the matter is not so urgent, it is best not to ruin the emperor's good mood." Qian Delu
Said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious."
Qian Delu was stunned and said in astonishment: "Didn't you say there was a major military and national event?"
Lin Jue laughed and said: "If I don't say so, will those people at the door report to your Eunuch Qian? Can Eunuch Qian go and report to the Emperor? I have no choice, I want to see the Emperor, so I can only say this."
Qian Delu blushed and glared at Lin Jue, raised his thumb and said, "Sure, you, Mr. Lin, are so powerful, you are treating us like monkeys."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's not true. It is indeed something and it is very important. Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry to see the emperor? I didn't mean to trick you, Eunuch Qian. Eunuch Qian has a lot of people. Just don't argue with me. I'll ask you later.
Eunuch Qian drank to apologize. By the way, is Eunuch Qian still satisfied with the New Year gift?"
Qian Delu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Satisfied, Mr. Lin has spent money, hehehe, please come with us."
The so-called New Year's gift is the benefit Lin Jue gave Qian Delu during the New Year. Lin Jue knew that Qian Delu had an important position beside the emperor. Although he suspected that he was Lu Zhongtian's eyes and ears, he still did not want to really offend him. Otherwise, many people
If he obstructed the matter, it would be very difficult. So during the New Year, Lin Jue gave Qian Delu a big red envelope. For a palace servant like Qian Delu, any gift is not as real as money, so Lin Jue gave Qian Delu a big red envelope.
Jue Ye sealed a thousand taels of silver in a red envelope without any tricks as a gift. If Qian Delu hadn't seen Lin Jue give him the money, he wouldn't have been affected by Lin Jue's expression.
The path was covered with snow, and the flowers, trees and branches on both sides were also covered with snow. A rockery in front was five or six feet high and more than ten feet wide, like a small mountain. This was the first time Lin Jue had seen such a large rockery.
I don't know where it came from after all the hard work and financial resources. The designer of the garden built an octagonal colored pavilion on top of the rockery according to the trend of the rockery, and cut stone steps up from the west side. It was quite ingenious.
Following Qian Delu up the stairs, after walking up dozens of steps, he saw a plaque on the lintel of the Cai Pavilion. The black characters were very conspicuous and read "Yiran Pavilion". A few steps further up, he saw the sitting place.
Several people in the pavilion.
Sitting in the middle are Guo Chong, who is wearing a purple brocade robe and a thick fur hat, and the current empress Yuan Shi, who is wearing a red brocade coat. Sitting next to her is the beautiful and dignified Concubine Rong, who is also wearing a fox fur white cloak, delicate and charming.
Concubine Mei looked like a girl. Then, Lin Jue saw the two princes standing behind Guo Chong. The one with a smile was Guo Mian, and the one with a slight frown was Guo Xu.
Lin Jue's arrival attracted everyone's attention. Perhaps Qian Delu had notified Lin Jue to see him before, so no one was surprised. Guo Mian looked at Lin Jue and smiled. Concubine Rong pretended not to care, but Guo Xu and Mei
There was a hint of chill in the concubine's gaze. Empress Yuan and Lin Jue did not know each other, and she only looked at Lin Jue lightly, without any feeling of love or disgust. The reactions of the group of people in the seat were extremely real and fully reflected
Lin Jue’s true position in their minds.
"Your Majesty, Lin Jue, see you, Your Majesty." Lin Jue stepped forward and saluted.
Guo Chong waved his hand and said: "Lin Aiqing is exempt from the courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Jue thanked him loudly, and then greeted Empress Yuan, Concubine Rong, and others one by one. Then he stood up and stood aside.
Guo Chong said in a deep voice: "Why did Lin Aiqing come to see me? Qian Delu said that you have important military affairs to report. What happened? It was about relief.
Is it a matter of comfort?"
Lin Jue bowed and said: "Although the relief and comfort work has become more difficult because of the heavy snow, I can still handle it. The two adults, Yang Xiu and Du Weijian, have taken effective measures and are precise in their work. Your Majesty does not have to worry."
Guo Chong nodded and said: "That's good, I thought it was this. Although this spring snow is a sign of good harvest, I was still worried about the people on the east and west roads of Beijing just now. When you say this, I feel relieved.
Then why did you come?"
Lin Jue said: "Your Majesty, I am here for the Emperor's dragon body."
"My body? I'm in very good condition. There's nothing wrong with me." Guo Chong frowned and said, "Is this what you call a major military matter? Are you just here to care about my body?"
Lin Jue said loudly: "Exactly, I believe that the emperor's health is a top military and state matter, and nothing else is as important as this. The emperor's health is a blessing to the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Guo Chong was speechless. He couldn't refute this. However, Lin Jue came to see him for this reason, which was suspected of being clever. If Qian Delu hadn't reported that Lin Jue had important military affairs to come to see him, he would not have seen Lin Jue today.
Jue. Ever since the last impeachment incident, Guo Chong had doubts about Lin Jue. It wasn't the impeachment itself, but after the impeachment incident, when Guo Chong wanted to punish Lin Jue, he suddenly became suspicious of Lin Jue because of drugs.
His hands were tied, which gave Guo Chong a feeling of being controlled by Lin Jue. Although Lin Jue seemed to have done nothing, this feeling always lingered. Therefore, Guo Chong has been quite cold towards Lin Jue recently and has not
Give him a chance to meet alone. He is observing whether Lin Jue has the intention to intimidate him. If he really has this intention, Guo Chong will never let him go. Guo Chong will never tolerate himself being intimidated by his ministers. Besides,
He already felt as if his illness had been cured.
"Lin Jue, I'm fine. If you came to see me just because of this matter, you can leave. I am enjoying the snow here with my wife and children today, and I don't want to be disturbed. It's rare for me to enjoy some family happiness." Guo
He said in a deep voice.
Of course Lin Jue could hear the coldness in Guo Chong's words, but he didn't care. He couldn't leave either.
"Your Majesty, I will leave as soon as I have finished speaking. I will never disturb the Emperor's appreciation of the snow. I would like to ask Your Majesty, if you have been feeling unwell recently, and are you taking the medicine on time?"
Guo Chong frowned and said: "I told you that I am in good health. I don't feel any discomfort. The medicine is very effective and I feel that I am about to recover. This is all your credit. I will reward you generously."
Guo Chong became a little impatient and looked towards the empty snow. There, more than a dozen concubines were wearing tight-fitting coats, chasing and playing in the snow, playing the game of cue ball. They laughed sweetly.
Noises came from time to time.
"The emperor should stop taking those pills. From today on, the emperor cannot take another pill." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"What?" Guo Xu, who was standing behind Guo Chong, had an unexpected reaction, and he cried out in surprise.
Guo Chong, on the other hand, did not hear Lin Jue's words clearly. He turned around and frowned and asked, "What did Lin Aiqing say just now?"
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "I said that the emperor can no longer take those pills, not even a single one."
Guo Chong said in astonishment: "Why is that? My disease has not been cured? Sometimes I still have a dry cough. How can I stop taking the medicine?"
