Li Yuhua was looking at two boxes of new jewelry given by Empress Dowager Lan when she heard the news that Mu Anzhi was going to Henan to provide disaster relief. Li Yuhua asked, "Emperor Grandma, how long will it take to go?"
"It's hard to say, we have to wait until the disaster situation in Henan gets better." Seeing that Li Yuhua didn't say anything, Queen Mother Lan thought that Li Yuhua was reluctant to leave Mu Anzhi, and couldn't help but feel soft, thinking that the young couple had never been separated since they got married, so she softened
He persuaded, "The emperor also thought that Ashen would be a good errand, so he let him go."
"Yes, it's rare for Pei Zhuangyuan to return to the imperial capital to report on his duties. Third brother has been looking forward to meeting Pei Zhuangyuan, so I'm afraid he won't be able to see him."
"This is not the first time Ruyu has returned to the Imperial Capital to report on his duties. He has excelled in his duties, and it is unknown whether he will be transferred back to the Imperial Capital in the future. You are so young, and you are afraid that you will not see each other in the future." Empress Dowager Lan said, "Besides, you will entertain Ashen well in the Imperial Capital.
Ruyu and his wife are the same."
"How can this be done? The third brother is traveling far away, and I have to serve him." Li Yuhua said, "He is a person who works day and night. I always send people to bring food."
Send them to his yamen. Sometimes they even take the errands home and spend half the night watching. If I wasn't around, how would it be without me? Can you rest assured, Grandma Huang?"
"Then you can't go, your girl's house, the hard work on the road, I can't bear it." Queen Mother Lan also felt sorry for her precious grandson, "Let grandma Sun go with Ashen and pick some smart girls."
"Nanny Sun is very considerate, but she has always been obedient to Third Brother. Although the maids are loyal, they do what they are told. With Third Brother's temper, can he listen to them?"
If it were in the past, Queen Mother Lan was still confident, but now Mu Anzhi doesn't listen to Queen Mother Lan's own words. Queen Mother Lan couldn't help but sigh, Li Yuhua said, "Grandma also knows me. I grew up in my hometown when I was a child, and I have never experienced any hardships.
.Isn’t it just a trip to Henan? It’s hard work with a car and a horse. I used to walk on two legs when I went to my hometown in the county. When I go there, I can not only serve my third brother, but also help him.
I'm busy, Henan must have failed to provide disaster relief, so I let Third Brother go there. I can help with socializing with the ladies and grandmothers in the official circles there, and if they have anything difficult to say in official circles, I can also help them pass on a message."
After asking Li Yuhua to make such an analysis, Queen Mother Lan also felt that Li Yuhua was someone who could help. She didn't dare to count on her for national affairs. At least Li Yuhua was by her side and could serve her grandson properly.
Naturally, Empress Dowager Lan felt more sorry for Mu Anzhi, especially when her precious grandson was becoming more and more useful. Empress Dowager Lan took Li Yuhua's hand and smiled, "Good boy, if not even the emperor would praise you as Ashen's virtuous wife,
I also said that he is blessed with a wife, but if you are allowed to go, not only must you take good care of him, but you must also take good care of yourself. I feel sorry for you too."
"Don't worry, Grandmother Royal. Third brother and the others have to worry about the big things. I'm just going to take care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation." Li Yuhua said seriously, "Although it can't be compared with the imperial capital outside, it still has to be done. It's rare.
Seriously, serve the third brother well from head to toe."
As a mother-in-law, Queen Mother Lan likes this kind of grandson-in-law who is not afraid of hardship or tiredness and treats her grandson sincerely. Queen Mother Lan also rewarded Li Yuhua with many medicinal materials and gave many instructions on how to prepare for the trip.
Royal study room.
A spring breeze carrying a chill blew into the imperial study. Mu Anzhi glared at Yushi Zhuo, then turned to Emperor Mu Xuan, "I will go with him to Henan to provide disaster relief!"
Without waiting for Emperor Mu Xuan to speak, Mu Anzhi gave a look on his face that you are not mistaken about, "How can you endure going on errands with him without beating him to death in the middle of the journey?!"
Censor Zhuo immediately said, "I still need to ask Your Majesty to give you some instructions, but please don't let His Highness beat me to death. I want to preserve my useful body and serve Your Majesty."
Emperor Mu Xuan glanced at the prince and saw your good idea. Emperor Mu Xuan said, "If he dares to beat you to death, I will beat him to death when he comes back." Without waiting for the two of them to talk nonsense, Emperor Mu Xuan said directly, "When I go to Henan this time, I will beat him to death."
The second is to see how the disaster is in Henan. The second is where the court's disaster relief money and food have been used. The third is to report the disaster truthfully and comfort the affected people and not make them homeless."
Zhuo Yushi said seriously, "Yes, I obey your order."
Mu Anzhi asked, "Since I am an imperial envoy, who is in charge and who is his deputy? Let me first say, if you let me take charge of this envoy, you have to give me the power to deal with it temporarily. Who knows what will happen to Henan, which is several miles away from the imperial capital.
Bailidi, if there is an emergency, I have to be the one to make the decision. Otherwise, don't ask me to go."
Zhuo Yushi has been in the court for a long time. Although he is of high rank, since he is traveling with the prince, how can the prince be subordinated to his ministers? The words His Highness the Third Highness asked seemed like a fool at first glance. His eyes moved slightly and he quickly said
, "How dare I take advantage of His Highness?"
The reason why Emperor Mu Xuan hired Mu Anzhi was, firstly, because of the recommendation of the prince, and secondly, Mu Anzhi was very quick and decisive in solving the case in the Ministry of Punishments. Even though it was his first business trip, Emperor Mu Xuan had to have such a decisive person to deal with the disaster in Henan.
Emperor Xuan said, "You are the master. However, when you arrive in Henan, you should listen to Zhuo Qing's advice. Zhuo Qing is very experienced in disaster relief and is not something you can compare to. Since you are imperial envoys, you can naturally deal with it temporarily."
In this way, although Mu Anzhi was unwilling to work with Zhuo Yushi on the mission, he still accepted the mission.
Mu An said, "I want to read all the memorials about the disaster in Henan. Also, I will send people to do some research on the refugees in the imperial capital. I want to say hello to His Majesty first."
Listen to the words and the sound of the gongs and drums.
A hint of appreciation flashed in the prince's eyes, and Emperor Mu Xuan's expression softened. Mu Anzhi's words were very speechless, but his work was neat and organized. Emperor Mu Xuan still liked it very much. He said generously, "Go to the cabinet to get the memorial. It's for investigation."
You guys can discuss the matter. If anyone else needs anything, please let me know."
Mu Anzhi said to Zhuo Yushi, "Please Zhuo Yushi, please go get the memorial."
Zhuo Yushi bowed slightly and said, "I obey His Highness's order." Then he asked, "When does Your Highness plan to set off?"
"The day after tomorrow." Mu Anzhi had no intention of discussing it with Zhuo Yushi.
Zhuo Yushi nodded, "One more thing. We are going to Henan for disaster relief. We need to apply to the Ministry of Household Affairs for the rice needed for disaster relief. I wonder how much quantity we need to apply for?"
"It's hard to say right now. Since the beginning of spring, grain funds have been allocated to Henan three times. I don't know what Henan is like now. There is no rush to allocate rice grains. Just go and calculate how much grain and grass we will use along the way, and then allocate half a month.
Wealthy is almost the same."
Censor Zhuo said no more, bowed and left.
When Mu Anzhi returned to the Ministry of Punishment, he first summoned Du Changshi and asked him to get the files of the refugees in the suburbs. Then he selected a hundred people among the refugees to conduct an investigation. When did the disaster start in his hometown and how did the local government provide relief?
, when did they start leaving their hometowns to beg and come to the imperial capital.
Du Changshi asked in surprise, "Are we going to Henan to provide disaster relief? But we didn't hear any news at first."
"I don't know who gave His Majesty the bad idea, or it was with that annoying guy Zhuo Ran. By the way, I will go home and pack up today, and set off the day after tomorrow. You go with me and let Lao Hua stay behind." Du Changshi immediately went to arrange for the refugees.
During the investigation, Mu Anzhi called Huan Li in and asked Xiao Yi to ask Cheng Shilang Zheng Langzhong to come over and hand over the matter at hand to Cheng Shilang. According to Zheng Shilang, Mu Anzhi wanted to take him away and go to Henan to investigate the disaster relief.
The person who sent the memorial from Zhuo Yushi arrived soon, along with the Yushitai's investigation data on the refugees outside the city, and a piece of paper from Zhuo Yushi: "If you do a good deed every day, you don't have to say thank you."
Mu Anzhixin said thank you, he had already sent Du Changshi out.
After explaining the matters at hand, Mu Anzhi summoned Huan Li, "Tell Xiao Du that the data has been sent by the Censor, so there is no need to count anymore. Ask the refugees if they still have relatives and parents in their hometown. Alas, it has reached this point.
I guess I don’t have many relatives. I’d better ask if there are any. If there are any, I can write a letter for them and send them to Henan.”
Huan Lixin said that His Highness was really kind-hearted, so he bowed and went down to do it.
After the matters in the Criminal Department were explained, Mu An returned home and saw the maids and women carrying various boxes and items in and out. He entered the house and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Aren't we going to Henan? I need to pack my things first. When will we leave?" Li Yuhua sat cross-legged on the couch and looked at the list he had compiled to see if anything was missing. He asked Mu Anzhi.
Mu Anzhi smiled, "You are really well-informed. I was just about to tell you that I will only be back in Henan in a month at most. I will leave the family affairs to you."
"No. The Imperial Grandmother asked me to go with you. I have to be by your side to serve you." Li Yuhua raised his eyes from the list and smiled brightly at Mu Anzhi, "I have already agreed with the Imperial Grandmother."
"This can't happen. There is a big famine in Henan. I don't know what the depression will be like now. I can go, but you don't want to go." The famine will kill many people, including those who starve to death and those who die from illness. Disaster relief has not been a good job since ancient times. Mu Anzhi himself
I don't want to find fault with things, but I don't want Li Yuhua to be affected, not to mention Yuhua's sister, a girl, it's not good to be frightened.
Li Yuhua stretched out his hand to pick off a dead leaf on his shoulder, "I have seen the refugees outside the city before. Besides, as husband and wife, we must not be separated for life. Could it be that you go to Henan and I am in the imperial capital?
Can the land be separated? You see, when Pei Zhuangyuan goes to Northern Xinjiang, Sister Muxiang will follow him to Northern Xinjiang. As husband and wife, we have to share weal and woe."
Even though Mu Anzhi would occasionally have fits in the presence of Emperor Mu Xuan, when he got angry, Emperor Mu Xuan couldn't do anything to stop him. Every thing came down, and Mu Anzhi couldn't do anything to Li Yuhua. Sister Yuhua wanted to fight with him
We went to Henan together to take care of him, so Mu Anzhi couldn't get angry. To be honest, Mu Anzhi talked from dinner to bed, and his words became thinner. Li Yuhua still said, "I will go wherever you go."
.”
Li Yuhua also listed the things she could do to help Mu Anzhi. Not to mention the food, clothing, housing and transportation for Mu Anzhi and his party, she could also help with disaster relief in Henan. She told Mu Anzhi not to look down on her.
Mu Anzhi really didn't dare to look down on her. He didn't know what this girl told the imperial grandmother. When Mu Anzhi entered the palace and mentioned that this girl was going to Henan with him, the imperial grandmother looked happy and even gave Mu Anzhi several words of advice.
, saying that Li Yuhua has a life of helping her husband, and going with him will definitely go smoothly.
When Mu Anzhi returns home the next day, Li Yuhua has already arranged the affairs of the house well. The affairs of the inner house are left to Grandma Sun, and the affairs of the outside are left to Hua Changshi. Mu Anzhi does not need to worry about it. In addition, Li Yuhua
He also summoned Zhu Yue and asked him to ask several big grain merchants in the imperial capital if they were willing to go to Henan with the army.
Zhu Yue said, "This is a rare opportunity. People say that Henan is short of food. But I don't have any business relationship in Henan, so I don't dare to go at this time. Madam, if we go, can we go with the army?"
"Naturally." Li Yuhua nodded.
"We don't know how much food will be needed and what the price will be. We have a plan in mind."
"I don't know how much food costs. As for the price, when I go to Henan, I will naturally follow the market." Li Yuhua said.
Zhu Yue was overjoyed and asked, "Empress, do you want to inform the head of the Grain Merchant Guild about this? The head of the Grain Merchants Guild has always been highly respected."
"It's not clear how much he is respected, but his moral character is open to question. When thousands of refugees came to the imperial capital, some people dared to make trouble and spread gossip to raise the price of food. What does the leader of his grain merchants' guild do for food?"
Li Yuhua snorted disdainfully and said to Zhu Yue, "His Highness will set off tomorrow. You can take care of this matter tonight. Those who are willing to go with His Highness can just go."
"Yes." Zhu Yue immediately went down to do it.
Because he was going to travel far this time, Li Yuhua also called Yan Lin to give instructions, and let the second prince and concubine worry about the Ci En Society for the time being.
Hua Changshi knew that His Highness did not want the Third Prince and Concubine to go together. However, Hua Changshi had a bright mind and saw the arrangements made by the Third Prince and Concubine. He said to Du Changshi in private, "It's better to talk to His Highness and let the Queen go with her."
, I think your empress can be of great help."
Du Changshi couldn't help but nodded when he heard about the third prince's concubine summoning grain merchants to go with him, "Don't tell me, this method is not bad. I heard the refugees in the imperial capital say that even if there are worms and moldy coarse grains in Henan now,
It only costs two or three pieces of silver per stone. Even if there is money, there is nowhere to buy it. I really don’t know where all the money and grain allocated by the court have gone!"
"Don't mention it, our empress is indeed a good wife." Du Changshi and Hua Changshi took him as an example, "From the time when Xiaguan got married, whether he was studying in the countryside or working as an official thousands of miles away, he has always been a good wife."
I can't leave my old wife. Sometimes, when I have something on my mind, I have to listen to her nagging for a while to get through it."
"Yes, even though I'm not married, I still want to be together if I can marry a wife later. Your Highness, I treat you sincerely and want to serve you and take care of you. This is a deep love. Don't worry about this, you
If you continue to refuse to agree and insist on staying in the imperial capital, you will make her worry about it. Your Highness, you are far away and you can't think about your empress in the imperial capital. Why don't you go together? When we get to Henan, let your empress stay in Luoyang Mansion.
Something will happen." Du Changshi also advised him.
Mu An was shocked, "How come you two were bribed?"
Hua Changshi smiled, "Since I came to His Highness, I have had three meals a day, clothes from all seasons, pens, inks, paper and inkstones. I have been thinking about giving gifts to my old wife for her birthday. I am deeply grateful to you for being such a virtuous and considerate person."
When you are with His Highness, all the ministers are happy for Your Highness."
Even Lao Hua and Xiao Du spoke up for Li Yuhua, and Mu Anzhi finally convinced her.
