Gu Yu was so shy after all that she held her forehead with her hands.
Having said that, Jun Ze and Gu Yu still had to work hard to ensure nothing went wrong.
To get the Holy One to look at them immediately, a psychological hint is needed.
Early the next morning, it was time for Fuhai to wake up the saint.
Since he lost face in front of the concubines in the palace, the Holy Emperor was in a bad mood and had a bad appetite.
After taking a few bites of the porridge and side dishes on the table, I put down my chopsticks.
Fuhai reminded him thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, please use more."
The Holy Spirit shook his head slightly to indicate that he would not eat.
Fuhai brought a cup of tea and asked the saint to clear his mouth.
As soon as the tea enters the mouth, the sweet and sour taste rushes to the tip of the tongue, making people feel refreshed.
The saint looked at the things inside and said, "What is this?"
Eunuch Fuhai said with a smile: "It was the ingenuity of the Imperial Concubine. She heard that the Holy One was busy with duties these days and did not eat much, so she ordered her servants to prepare hawthorn tea for the Holy One, which can help digestion and appetite."
Since the imperial concubine lost her child, she has lived in seclusion, not competing with her concubines for favor, and has managed the harem in an orderly manner.
Looking back, I haven't been to her for a long time, nor have I had a meal in her palace.
She never complained and was always generous and gentle. This cup of tea seemed to express friendship. Although the imperial concubine could not see him, she was still thinking of him in her heart.
She just had a bad appetite these days, so she brought tea in time, which shows that she put a lot of thought into it.
If you have time, it's time to go and see her in her palace.
But as soon as this idea came up, the Holy Spirit remembered that his health had not improved at all, and he couldn't help but feel frustrated and gave up the idea.
The Holy One said: "I remember that a new red coral came in from the warehouse and was sent to the imperial concubine."
Fuhai responded and mentioned another thing, saying: "The weather is getting warmer, but the winter snow on the mountains has not disappeared. Master Shixing sent a plum blossom last night. Would you like to see it, Your Majesty?"
Jing Shang, a monk, actually sent plum blossoms to the Holy One, which made the Holy One instantly happy and said: "Send it in."
Fuhai waved his hand, and a palace maid came in holding a jade vase with a plum blossom in it.
The plum blossoms were brought in last night, and they have not withered since they were kept in water overnight.
Fuhai said: "Originally, the eldest princess missed General Pingnan who went up the mountain to pick plums for her, and asked Huangjue Temple for a plum blossom. Master Shi Xing not only sent people to deliver the plum blossoms to the eldest princess' mansion, but also sent a plum blossom to the palace.
.It can be seen that although Master Shixing doesn’t say it, he still thinks of you in his heart.”
The Holy Father smelled the faint fragrance of plum blossoms and couldn't help but miss this son.
When I was in the palace, I always felt that he was not pleasing to the eye, but now that I am no longer around, I feel that he is very good.
It would have been better if he hadn't asked Jing Shang to kill the eunuch out of anger, because it was really not worth it for a slave to hurt the relationship between father and son.
But the past is gone and it is too late to regret it.
The broken father-son relationship is like a broken mirror. Even if it is put together, there are countless heartbreaking cracks.
The Holy One had no choice but to let go of the past and let him go.
After drinking the hawthorn tea sent by the imperial concubine and admiring the plum blossoms sent by the fifth prince, the Holy Spirit arranged his appearance and went to court.
The Holy One sat on the dragon chair in the Fengtian Hall, and following the eunuch's shout, all the civil and military officials knelt down and worshiped.
After standing up, the Holy Master remembered the words of Taoist Master Xuanqing yesterday and looked at the people in the hall.
Among the officials in the front row, there were only two people with aloof temperament and handsome features. They stood out among a group of gray-haired veterans.
The Holy Spirit turned the eighteen pieces in his hand. This was probably God's guidance.
However, as soon as the Holy Father had glimpsed a corner of the dark truth in the northwest, he heard someone outside the hall shouting "Eight hundred miles urgent".
The ministers looked at each other and moved to the side to make way.
I saw a post soldier running from outside the palace, holding a volume of documents in his hand. After entering the palace, he shouted "Eight hundred miles urgent" again.
Because he ran so fast, he even slid forward when he knelt down in front of Fengtian Hall.
The Holy One said: "Speak!"
The postman shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the bandits are rampant in the northwest, and they actually robbed a batch of military pay shipped from central Henan to the northwest this year."
The Holy One angrily rebuked: "Trash! Where are the officers and soldiers responsible for escorting the military pay? How could they be allowed to be robbed by bandits!"
Junze and Gu Yu stood at the front, each staring at the palace tiles in the palace, pretending not to know anything about it.
The second uncle really made a name for himself by not making a fuss. He only asked him to make some noise, but he didn't expect that he actually cut off his military pay.
The post soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "The officers and soldiers responsible for escorting the military pay were seriously injured by the bandits and were placed in the post station to rest. The place where the military rations were robbed was a stretch of steep mountains with complex terrain. The bandits hid after robbing the food.
You can't find it anywhere in the mountains."
The Holy Spirit said: "Where are the local officials?"
The post soldier said: "The local officials searched for several days but found no results. They asked the Holy One to mobilize troops to suppress the bandits."
The Holy Emperor was shocked and angry. Earlier he heard that bandits were rampant in the northwest and didn't think anything of it. Now the bandits in the northwest dared to rob the army's pay.
This is no longer "rampant". To be more serious, it can be called a rebellion.
The Holy Emperor could not hesitate anymore and immediately ordered Junze to lead 30,000 troops to the northwest to suppress the bandits. He also appointed Gu Yu as the imperial envoy to accompany him to rectify the northwest and supervise the army's pay.
The Holy One said again: "Military pay is a matter of border officers and soldiers, so there must be no ambiguity. You two should set off as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this order, both Gu Yu and Junze breathed a sigh of relief.
This step after step of operation finally paid off.
The two stood out of the queue and said in unison: "I accept the decree."
It will take some time to get the intercepted military pay back. The Holy Lord will wait for it, but the border officers will not be able to wait.
The Holy Emperor issued another order, asking the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate a batch of military pay to the northwest. After Junze and Gu Yu suppressed the bandits, they could recapture the military pay and fill the empty account.
Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Household Affairs, always liked to argue, and when he was about to speak, he saw Prime Minister Wang turning around and giving him a wink.
Although the Minister of Hubu didn't know Prime Minister Wang's plan, he still agreed.
Gu Yu saw the interaction between the two people out of the corner of her eye, and her heart tightened.
After the court meeting, Junze immediately went to the military camp to order troops. There were 30,000 troops and horses, and there were too many things to prepare.
Gu Yuze went to Wenhansi to arrange the next affairs.
Gu Yu repeatedly warned: "When I am away, do not confront Prime Minister Wang head-on. If something happens, hide away if you can. If there is anything that cannot be settled, ask the Holy One to make a decision. You must not blame Wen Hansi."
Prime Minister Wang's recent behavior is very strange. If military pay is being exploited at all levels, it has something to do with Zhao Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, and it also has something to do with Prime Minister Wang.
However, Yuan Xiaowei was rescued by the internal guards and the commotion caused was not small. Prime Minister Wang remained unmoved.
Including the fact that the Minister of Household Affairs agreed to adjust the grain today, it was surprisingly smooth.
This was a shrewd old fox, and Gu Yu had fallen into trouble at his hands. He walked back and forth in the court for several rounds, each winning or losing.
But Gu Yu still couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
The only thing that is certain is that Prime Minister Wang will not give up on Shao Wuji and Hanmen.
When she went to the northwest, what worried her the most was this group of poor families.
