All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 801: secrecy

"Where can I worry about you?" Aunt Shen smiled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the Queen Mother, and added a pillow behind her to make her lean on more comfortable: "Is your body better?"

The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "After all, I lost my body when I was young. Now that I am older, no matter how much medicine I take, it will be like that."

Aunt Shen thought that the Empress Dowager was already sixty-nine years old.

The Empress Dowager inevitably thought of Mrs. Yu: "Compared to Mrs. Yu, Ai's family is relatively good, and there are people around who are proficient in taking care of their bodies. Go ahead."

Aunt Shen smiled and said nothing, turned around and poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.

After saying a few words, the Empress Dowager felt a little out of spirit. After drinking tea and nourishing her spirit, she saw the book on the small table: "This is?"

Aunt Shen hurriedly said: "It's the book that Shaoyi County Lord passed into the palace from Liancheng, and they were handed into the palace together, and there are some incense medicines made by Shaoyi County Lord personally, including a musk medicine incense pill, which the slaves have already sent. Tai Hospital, and hand it over to Royal Doctor Hu for inspection."

Shaoyi County Lord had previously sealed the county owner, so he often handed things to the palace, most of which were incense medicines made by himself.

The Empress Dowager likes the Princess Shaoyi, and there is no problem with the examination of the Imperial Hospital, and she does not shy away from using it.

The more you use it, the better it will be.

The princess of Shaoyi is talented, and what she does is better than others.

"She's really caring, but unfortunately she didn't have the royal family, otherwise Aijia would be willing to pamper her like Mrs. Yu." There are several princesses in the palace, but none of them are caring people. While asking: "Didn't she cultivate her body in Quanzhou? Why did she still go to the north?"

As he was talking, he had already opened the fold.

Aunt Shen went back to the incense table and replaced the soothing incense in the incense burner with Tongqiao incense pills.

After a while, the Empress Dowager finished reading the book: "Shaoyi mentioned it in the book, King Wu Mu set up refugee camps in the northern areas where the drought was relatively mild and the supplies were abundant, and he planned to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes to alleviate the drought. She went to the North."

Aunt Shen was also stunned for a while, before she said, "The northern border is a place of bitter cold, the Lord of Shaoyi County..."

The Empress Dowager sighed again: "Since Congyi is enshrined, she must honor her virtue, she can afford it."

Aunt Shen listened with her head down and didn't speak.

But the Empress Dowager's thoughts moved slightly: "The snow is a good year, last winter, there was not a lot of snow in the whole north, and now that it is February, the weather is still as cold as an ice cellar, it seems that this year is another year of famine. "

Aunt Shen said softly, "You have tried your best."

The emperor took medicine pills, which caused erysipelas to be in the body. He was sick in the palace. He had ignored the government for a long time. The imperial study room went to the former dynasty to assist the government, took the opportunity to seize power, and reached a consensus with the empress dowager, and also kept the matter secret.

At the moment, the Imperial Palace is controlled by Concubine Lan.

She has been in control of the harem for many years, and her power in the palace is deeply ingrained. Even Concubine Xu Gui didn't notice any clues.

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhezi, pondered for a long time and asked, "Is the emperor's dragon body better?"

Aunt Shen's heart tightened: "The people of Concubine Lan said, it's still the same."

That is, there is no improvement, the empress dowager's eyes flickered, and after a while, she said: "You will send Shaoyi's book to the cabinet."

In Shaoyi County Master's book, he is just gossiping, so that people can't pick the wrong one, but if you look at it, you will inevitably have some thoughts.

The riots of refugees in the three provinces of Beijing continued, and even the government could not suppress it.

If the court cannot come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, more and more refugees will gather together, and the situation will become more and more serious, and even lead to large-scale riots and endanger the community.

But the treasury is empty, and the courtiers are helpless.

Right now, the northern border still has spare capacity to accommodate refugees, so how can the cabinet still sit still, so the ministers will be summoned to discuss the matter together.

The cabinet was very noisy because of the resignation of Yu Zongshen Dingyou, but the Ministry of Household was still in the hands of Yu Zongshen.

In order to consolidate the voice of the royalists in the cabinet, the royalists launched a network of contacts and sent an old official of the Yu family's direct line into the cabinet.

The Yu clan's position in the cabinet is unshakable.

The old man of Yuge was listening on the ground, and the courtiers were arguing about the resettlement of the refugees.

When the mouths of the two sides were flying, the blushing and the neck were thick, and no one could convince the other. Everyone looked at the old man of Yu Ge: "How about the old man of Yu Ge?"

Elder Yu Ge received a letter from Yu Youyao. He knew more about the situation in the northern border than others, and he had a plan. Faced with many questions, he naturally did not rush.

He asked aloud, "Why did the Shaoyi County Master go to the north?"

Mr. Qi, the Censor of the Duchayuan, saw that he was confident, and had a guess in his heart: "It was mentioned in the book, because King Wumu wants to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the less affected areas in the north, so as to alleviate the drought. Because the sweet potato was successfully planted by the Lord of Shaoyi County, which is related to the survival of tens of millions of people in the north, King Wu Mu asked the Lord of Shaoyi County to help."

Yu Laoge asked again: "Why does King Wu Mu dare to take in a large number of refugees?"

Master Qi showed an expression of sudden realization: "That's because the three northeastern provinces are less affected by the drought, which does not affect the cultivation of sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are cheap, dry and resistant to ridges, and they are full of food. As long as the cultivation is promoted in the three northeastern provinces, with sweet potatoes, King Wu Mu will be able to do so. Naturally don't worry, the refugees have no food."

The two of you come and go, and the cooperation is called a tacit understanding.

Yu Ge smiled: "Isn't this over?"

"It's over?" The courtiers looked at each other.

Elder Yuge simply made the words clear: "Most areas in the north were hit by drought, the fields were dry, and crops could not be grown. The three northeastern provinces were less affected by the disaster. Just as King Wumu wanted to promote sweet potato cultivation, he moved the refugees to grow sweet potatoes. King Wumu has a heavy army in his hand, and the refugees are shocked by King Wumu, and they don’t dare to mess around.”

The courtiers were suddenly speechless, a little moved, but they were afraid of King Wumu's power, worried that if this big trouble was thrown to King Wumu, King Wumu would not be happy.

"This, this is not good. The northern border is under the jurisdiction of King Wu Mu. He accommodates the refugees in the northern border. It can be justified. If the disaster victims in other areas are also brought over, millions of mouths are waiting to eat, and sweet potatoes have not yet affected. Well, I'm afraid I won't eat up all the army."

"King Wu Mu is not obliged to accept refugees from places other than the northern border. If he refuses, there is nothing we can do."

"Yes, King Wu Mu is not easy to deal with, so don't touch his bad head..."

"This, if you annoy King Wu Mu, it won't end well..."
