Chapter 139: Honor in troubled times 107
Beijing
Emperor Jing Qing sat on the dragon throne and looked at the court officials who were quarreling below.
He was a little sleepy and wanted to yawn, and was even more impatient with the courtiers' arguments.
"Okay, isn't it just a flood? I haven't caused any floods since I ascended the throne. What did I do before and what else will I do now."
Emperor Jing Qing patted the armrests of the chair, with a little bit of anger on his face.
The current chief minister named Li is also from Concubine Li, but he is rare and has a clear mind and a pretty good person.
He stepped forward: "Your Majesty, today is different from the past. Last year, Your Majesty ordered people to collect heavy taxes in Jiangnan. Now, Jiangnan is in a time of incompetence. At this time, there is a flood..."
Before he could finish his words, someone jumped out and started arguing with him.
"Your Majesty is not sure what Master Li said. Your Majesty asked for disaster relief and went to provide disaster relief immediately. What are you talking about here? Don't you know how many people in Jiangnan will starve to death after your delay."
What jumped out was that there was a conflict with Concubine Li's lineage.
In addition, the family members of other concubines in the palace also quarreled with Shoufu Li.
Emperor Jing Qing was extremely angry: "Okay, do what you should do. If there is a disaster, you will provide relief. If someone rebels, you will suppress it."
After saying this, Emperor Jing Qing stood up and said, "Retreat the court."
Shoufu Li felt cold on his body.
After retreating, he ignored him and walked back alone.
Mr. Li rode a horse to court, and now he was riding a horse back. The horse was suddenly shocked on the way back. Mr. Li fell off the horse and broke his leg directly.
He was sent home by his servants and rushed to invite a doctor to treat him.
Waiting to get his legs done, Shoufu Li said to his wife: "I'll ask someone to take a leave of absence, and I said I broke my leg and could only recuperate at home."
Mrs. Li nodded with red eyes and went out to ask her son to take leave to Mr. Li.
When he came back, Mrs. Li asked Master Li: "Why is this?"
Shoufu Li sighed, "Madam, the world is going to be in chaos. Do you know now... Now the ministers in the court call him Concubine Li? They call her Concubine Demon. They all say that if it weren't for her, the world would not be like this. They also said that she was here to harm the country. Because our family's surname is Li and because we have some kinship with Concubine Li, I am now rejected in the court. If we continue like this, we will never be doomed."
Mrs. Li was frightened.
She hugged Shoufu Li: "Master, what should we do? We are not willing to die, but we have dozens of masters and servants in the Mansion, and our daughter is still young. If there is something really, what should our son and daughter do?"
Shoufu Li sighed, and he thought for a while: "Mei Zhiyuan and I were classmates. Last year, the Mei family moved to Nanyi. Mei Boqing has always been a judge of the situation. Since he went to Nanyi, it must be because Nanyi is what people want, we..."
Mrs. Li interrupted the words of Shoufu Li: "Master, you must know that the reason why the Xiao family was exiled was because the imperial concubine had slandered him. If we go to Nanyi, can the Xiao family tolerate us?"
Shoufu Li smiled and waved his hand: "Don't panic, Mr. Xiao is a generous man. Besides, Concubine Li is Concubine Li, and we are us. Since I became this Shoufu, I think I am very upright and have never done anything that is ignorant. I am so worried about the world and what are I afraid of? I want to write a letter to Mei Zhiyuan to ask about the situation of Nanyi when I was recuperating. If it is done... Isn't this the day of my parents' sacrifice to come? I will let our son and daughter go back to the south in the name of worshiping grandparents, and let them quietly go to Nanyi."
Seeing that the Chief Li made up his mind, Mrs. Li said, "Then I will pack up earlier. If I go back to the south, I will have to bring some things."
She meant to bring the family to the children.
Shoufu Lee nodded: "Go."
In the palace
Concubine Li was extremely panicked.
She felt that things were out of control.
In her memory, she had never had such a big flood in the south in her previous life, and there were no such disasters and difficulties in Daqi.
She hid in the house and ignored it alone.
"System, come out and tell me what's going on? What's going on?"
A cold mechanical sound came: "The system will only assist the host in the harem to compete for favor and seize luck, and nothing else does with the system."
Concubine Li was even more panicked.
"How could this happen?"
In the memory of Concubine Li, Daqi spent several years of disasters and panic in this season of his previous life, and it had become stable. After several years, it was all good. It was all the time until the girl from the Xiao family entered the palace. Later, the girl from the Xiao family entered the palace. Emperor Jingqing almost vacant the harem for her, but at that time, Daqi was also good, and it was not so good until the girl from the Xiao family became the empress dowager?
But now...
The drought plagues in the past few years, the current flood plague, and the continuous rebels from all over the country, are not the scene of a prosperous dynasty, it is clearly the end of the dynasty.
Could it be said?
Concubine Li couldn't help but think, could it be that the girl of the Xiao family belongs to the destiny of heaven and the real phoenix life? So with her to suppress her, the Daqi will be fine, and now she has arrived in Nanyi...
By the way, I heard that the Nanyi is developing very well now. Mr. Xiao guards the Nanyi, and the Nanyi soldiers and civilians work together, and lives are getting stronger and stronger day by day. Now the Nanyi has occupied the five prefectures and is entrenched in the southern border of the Great Qi. He does not listen to the tune or the Xuan. He is already a country. So, isn’t the girl from the Xiao family similar to the princess in the Nanyi?
Thinking of this, Concubine Li was very angry.
Why?
Any good thing has to be given to someone surnamed Xiao.
She was so fond of the harem in her previous life, but she was exiled in this life. She actually helped the Xiao family get up again. Could it be that this destiny is really so powerful?
After being angry, Concubine Li was at a loss.
If this disaster continues, Daqi will be over.
What about her?
Where should she, the imperial concubine, go?
After the Great Qi is over, how can she dominate the harem and how can she be the queen mother?
Also, can her life be preserved?
"System, what should I do now?"
Concubine Li asked the system.
The system thought for a while: "There is no longer much dragon energy on Emperor Jingqing. According to the system's observation, the luck has returned to the south and is in the Nanyi. If you can follow Zhennanhou, the system can use his luck to provide you with more props. At that time, you can also favor the harem alone."
"Really?"
Concubine Li couldn't help but think.
Nanyi
The disaster in Jiangnan also affected the Southern Yi.
After all, the Okigawa Prefecture is very close to some places in Jiangnan, and many victims from Jiangnan flock to the Okigawa Prefecture.
Xiao Yuan and the civil and military officials from the Southern Yi were busy.
Local residents should settle the victims, military officers should arrange for inspections to prevent people from causing trouble, and to maintain the peaceful life of the people.
An Ning was also very busy, so she took some wives from the city to collect materials and transported them to the Okiawa Prefecture to distribute them to the victims. In addition, she organized many doctors to go to the areas bordering the Okiawa Prefecture and Jiangnan to investigate to prevent any epidemics from being brought in.
