Chapter 195: Heaven has feelings, heaven has no feelings

I followed the readers' opinions and changed the version, and each chapter changed from three thousand to four thousand words to five thousand and six thousand words. Is this better? Please discuss it.

============================

Cui Xian dares to say that I want to be a wife? As long as she dares to say that, she guarantees that Zheng Lang dares to do so! She can't say that she has this mind. She thought about it and said, "Zheng Lang, look, now you have sister Xing'er and sister Si'er. In the future, I will bring Huan'er with my concubine. When your father was there, I didn't want to accept so many concubines. It was because the Zheng family has always been thin, so I accepted it, right?"

Let’s think about the problem from a different perspective, okay?

Zheng Lang made her little thoughts make her laugh.

He smiled and Cui Xian was even more courageous, and said, "Besides, you are also a casual person. There are too many concubines in the family, so I won't make arguing, but these concubines are really all the trouble-saving masters? If there are too many conflicts, there will definitely be many quarrels. Zheng Lang, you don't want to see this happen. Also, Xing'er and Si'er, I know Huan'er, but we don't know the people in the palace come out. What if it's so lucky, what if it's not good, they are His Majesty's people, who dares to say?"

"Don't go around, just say what you mean."

"It is best to refuse..."

"What if your Majesty disagrees?"

"Your Majesty is kind and has a weak temperament. As long as you persist, your Majesty will never force you." Speaking of this, Cui Xian's head turned again. No, her little husband can't even bear some of his "small problems". What if the woman rewarded by the emperor has a bad temper? She suddenly realized and said, "He wants to force you. He is the king and you are the minister, so he can only leave it to fate."

"I'm using my brain again," Zheng Lang knocked her head and had no choice but to go back to the house. It probably made her see through it from somewhere, and she couldn't continue playing, so she stopped playing.

Prepare the vehicle, there are many cars. The two brothers of the Cui family brought two cars over, and Zheng Lang brought two cars over, and hired three more cars this time. Cui Xian held the aunt's hand and said, "Auntie, I want to go too."

"Silly boy, your Majesty didn't call you in, how can you go?"

"I'm just sitting in the car waiting for you."

"The imperial city is not invisible."

Sitting in the car was nothing more than waiting outside the palace. However, the palace in Tokyo was not Luoyang and Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. Due to the turmoil of the Five Dynasties and the country was unstable, although the previous generations chose Kaifeng as a temporary capital, the buildings were very simple, and they were slowly expanded with the original state yamen. Almost in the center of Kaifeng City. People generally don't think about entering the palace, but it is still not difficult to see the walls of the palace and the gates of the imperial city.

“The meaning is different.”

It was her little husband who entered the palace and was waiting outside as his wife, so the meaning was different. But Zheng Lang still shook his head. What did she mean? Although she scolded her for a while, she changed it, and it was probably impossible to completely change it.

It’s not very repulsive. It’s a luxury to think that she doesn’t eat anything at all. Including the aunt, I really feel happy when I see my deceased father bringing the concubines home one by one? As long as I can take the overall situation like the aunt.

As for talent, Zheng Lang doesn't care at all. He doesn't object to anything, nor does he look at anything. His appearance is enough, even if he is a little worse, it is enough. The key is to have the tolerance of a big woman and not to hold him back.

In the twelfth lunar month, the weather was cold at night, but Tokyo was too big. Even on this cold night, there were people on the street who were not afraid of the cold, and most of the shops were open to continue doing business. When they arrived at the palace, Zheng Lang and the seven empresses entered the palace under the guidance of Yan Wenying.

Cui Xian climbed onto the ox cart between Xing'er and Si'er and asked, "Did you wait outside the palace like this before?"

"Yes, Zheng Lang didn't come back that night. I was very worried, so I asked Uncle Song to wait outside in a car for a night. However, when Zheng Lang came out the next day, he was sent to Kaifeng prison. Since then, every time I see Zheng Lang coming to the palace, I am very scared." Jiang Xing'er said.

"That's also a kind of honor."

"Miss Cui, if I think about it, I would rather not be so holy and glorious than be afraid." Sier said. Although Jiang Xing'er knew it was impossible, she nodded in agreement. Cui Xian looked at the calm eyes when they spoke, silently.

...

After entering the palace, the little emperor was very curious.

Several empresses usually did some good things and were in a good mood. With Zheng Lang, the capital was also spreading, and the little emperor heard some.

I felt a little envious again. After a long time, the hatred for Liu E was lighter, but the pain of my biological mother still hurt him. The Zheng family was right. If the adoptive mother was a little weaker, even if he was asked to find a few excuses and meet him a few times, he could relieve the regrets in his heart. With this kind of thought, Zhao Zhen felt that the eldest lady of the Zheng family was precious.

But Xiao Zhao Zhen, have you ever thought that the Zheng family is just a commoner family and a small official family, so it is possible to maintain such peace. What is your family? It is the imperial palace. The ugliest place in ancient and modern times. I guess this principle doesn't make sense to him. It depends on how harsh and stingy he is, and he is still like an emperor?

Yan Wenying brought the seven empresses up.

Cui Xian couldn't summon him. First, he had not officially got married, and came to the capital to rescue him. He had more than the etiquette. Second, he had become a relative. He was not an old lady, but he could summon him, which was about the same size. There were taboos. If summoned, he could only summon him as an excuse for the concubines in the future.

However, Jiang Xing'er and Si'er were only concubines and maids, so there was no dispute.

The little emperor looked at it. It has been seven years since Zheng Lang came to the Zheng family. Seven years have passed. Even Qi Niang is in her early forties. The peaceful life in Zhengjiazhuang, the aunt's influence, and the faces of the empress shine with kind expressions on her face.

The little emperor liked it very much at first sight. Judging from his appearance, he knew that he was a kind-hearted mother. Without such a mother, how could he raise such a son?

But there are some nervousness, and the ladies are a little nervous.

He said in a trembling voice: "I have met Your Majesty."

Going down.

In fact, it’s just kneeling. At this time, you are not happy to kneel down. See how you look. If you perform a great tribute, it is similar to kneeling.

"Please get up, a few aunts." Zhao Zhenxu helped him and gave a wink at Yan Wenying. He was not easy to help, but Yan Wenying was easy to caress. He helped them up one by one and said, "Please sit down."

I love the house and the ninth house, so I was so polite that I even had the chair ready.

Several empresses sat on the bed and felt like they were sitting on pins and needles.

The little emperor said again: "I have heard of the kindness of several empresses. When I saw her today, she is indeed well-known."

"Your Majesty, how dare I take the praise of Your Majesty? I just do some things. It is in the name of your benevolence. I listen to my son often mention it."

Zhao Zhen looked at Zheng Lang with warm eyes again. The young man was very loyal to himself and said, "Zheng Jieyuan, I disturbed your studies and called you to come. It is a matter to talk about. There are many weaver girls in the inner palace, not only carved silk and embroidered silk, but also some weaver girls who weave silk and silk. There are a lot of people who keep them in the deep palace. The inner palace will use a lot of expenses every year. I don't want to use these extravagant silk, so it becomes a waste. But if you give them away, they may have a difficult life. I think of your family. If there are family members who want to return home, you can arrange them and send them back. And you can also distinguish that some people will change things and may not be popular at home after they go home. If you don't want to return home, I have seen that you can make them well arranged. It's also worthy of my wish."

This is the one given by the little emperor.

Next year, I will send more palace maids out and become more stingy.

"Your Majesty, I accept it. But I also have a word to give advice."

"explain."

"Your Majesty is harsh on yourself, but the concubines in the inner palace should not be too harsh. After all, most of them stay in the deep palace when they were young and stayed in the deep palace, and they had no sun and moon on earth for many years. There are some small and not excessive requirements. Your Majesty should meet them. I suggest that you leave some young Weaver Girls to maintain the normal supply of the inner palace and release the extra talents. In the future, it can also become a customization. Those who are over thirty or forty years and are not favored by the holy people, let them go home and reunite with their families in order to allow them to enjoy the joy of family. This is also a way of benevolence."

"Zheng Jieyuan, you said this very well." Look, this is a good minister. If you change to some other ministers, it is very likely that you will hear it. OK, let it go. It is best if the inner palace does not serve alone, is it possible?

Zhao Zhen walked away again and said, "Why did he agree so readily?"

He said it was very polite, but this release was not only Tokyo, but also two imperial palaces in Yingtian Prefecture and Henan Prefecture, which may have as many as two or three hundred Weaver Girls. Even if half of these Weaver Girls are left behind, it is a waste of the palace, but it is a valuable resource for the Zheng family.

I have never been to the folk, but I also know that the craftsmanship of these Weaver Girls are outstanding.

Why did the Zheng family accept it calmly?

You must not think wrongly, he is not that kind of hypocrite.

"I thought on the road that your Majesty wants to send me, but I can only send the Weaver Girl."

“Why?”

"Your Majesty is too strict with himself. It is inevitable to release palace maids. However, what is the function of ordinary palace maids on ministers? It is nothing more than weaver girl."

"You know me, you." The little emperor happily patted Zheng Lang on his shoulder.

The empresses were overjoyed when they saw it, and their son didn't say anything, so they didn't understand it clearly. When they saw the emperor, they were so fond of their son. But they were also puzzled. When they saw the emperor, they should not see the emperor. When they walked into the palace, they were as weak as Xing'er's legs. Why wasn't their son afraid?

"Your Majesty, the reason why I did not refuse is to prepare food for the country. Why should I refuse it if I do not seek personal gain?"

It was strange that the little emperor said in a daze: "Why prepare food?"

"This winter snow has dropped a lot, and I heard everywhere that the annual meeting shows that auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Perhaps, it may not be necessary. Since ancient times, disasters have been divided into two types. One is the way of heaven and the way of disasters are sent to warn. The other is the way of heaven is ruthless, so it does not care about right and wrong, and suddenly disasters are caused. The latter will often last for several years. This is the most difficult. For example, in the middle of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, disasters continued during the ten years. Some people said that the heroine showed up, so God gave him warning. No. If so, why did Empress Wu become emperor, the country was in good health. At that time, the country was peaceful, the king was benevolent, and everyone worked diligently. This year, God gave him disaster for no reason."

"Well, say," the little emperor was very happy. Although this statement was very novel, if you say one truth in everything, it was the truth. Moreover, today's drought and locust plague did cast a shadow on his new policy. If Zheng Lang's explanation was used, he would give himself a step.

"This kind of disaster is the most harmful and usually lasts for several years. It is either flood or drought. The master is wise and the country can barely survive it. If the master is stupid and the ministers are secret, it is very likely that the country will be overturned. It is necessary to guard against it."

"yes."

"So, I think I should be on guard. However, the way of heaven is far away, and it is just a guess and no proof can be made. But there is another one, can Your Majesty come up with a map of the Song Dynasty?"

"Yan Du Zhi."

"Here." Yan Wenying took out a map of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, the problem is here."

It refers to the location of Hetao and Qinghai.

"What's the solution?"

"It turns out that this is a place where the sky is vast and the wind blows the grass low and cattle and sheep can be seen. There are many people who can grazle, and the grasslands and forests are reduced. With them, the water can be absorbed and fixed water sources. Without them, the water will quickly lose, the sun evaporates, the soil will become gravel, and there will be heavy rains coming, which will inject into the river. Therefore, the higher the water level of the Yellow River, the more mud and sand accumulate. The harm was not great during the Tang Dynasty, and it was very dangerous to our dynasty. The water is small because the riverbed is high, and it will quickly flow into the sea. When the drought comes, the Yellow River will be in danger of lack of embankments. Therefore, in Henan and Hebei, Shu Chen dared to say something, and in the future, there will be floods and droughts. If the God is ruthless, disasters will occur in the past few years."

"It cannot be used as evidence."

This is what Zheng Lang was worried about. No matter how you say it, others can't believe it. If you do Zhao Zhen himself, what can you do? Send someone to defend the river embankment south of Daming Mansion. However, the river embankment in the Daming Mansion section is strengthened. What if the dam breaks in other places?

In fact, it is very forced to say this.

It is even said that Zheng Lang was the young emperor and had a heart for the people. Otherwise, with his personality, why should he get into this mess and cause evil?

"I know, so I don't know how to confirm it. But Your Majesty gave the Weaver Girl, and I will send someone to arrange them properly, and then build a granary in Songzhou for the business income. If there is, it can be used to do your best for Your Majesty. If there is no, you can also use it to help the poor people, and you can do good deeds as a reward for Your Majesty."

That's all I can say.

"Why are you in Songzhou?"

If it is not in Songzhou, is it placed in Daming Prefecture? But I still can't say this and answered: "If it is placed in the capital, the capital is the capital, and the price is expensive. If it is placed in Zhengzhou, the distance is too long and the transportation cost is high. If it is placed in Songzhou, the transportation cost is low, and it can also radiate Shandong, Jianghuai and Hebei. Therefore, it has nothing to do with Liu Zhizhou. Public is public, and private is private, so it needs to be clear."

The little emperor believed and doubted.

The evidence is insufficient. If we mobilize many troops and waste it, it will make people laugh at the world. If we are not prepared, when the disaster really comes, the food price will immediately leap, and the cost of relief will be higher. Even the Sima mistress knows this truth. Do you really ignore the country and feed the major landlords, so that they can make money from the national crisis?

The joy disappeared suddenly and asked, "Zheng Jieyuan, this matter should not be joked about."

"It's not a joke, but Your Majesty, there is insufficient evidence, so I can only act privately. But when it comes to the matter of saving, I think of an idea."

"Tell me."
