Chapter 82 Fu'er will always know the emperor's hideous face

Sure enough, just as he started, his sleeves were tightened and grasped tightly by the delicate beauty.

Although she was obviously afraid, she still looked at him with her big peach blossom eyes, expectantly listening to him continue.

Murong Jin had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​scaring her and tell the story in a less scary way.

There was a roar of rain outside.

The light inside was dim, and someone was telling a story in a soft voice that suddenly wasn't scary anymore. Gradually, Love couldn't lift her eyelids.

Murong Jin moved closer to her and raised his hand to lightly circle her waist.

She leaned on his arms.

Murong Jin immediately tightened his hand around her waist, and his tone remained the same.

He coaxed her to sleep soundly in his arms, then put one arm around her waist, supported her knees with the other, and carried her to the next room.

Xuande Tower was a place where emperors would only visit during festivals.

Murong Jin never came here once after he ascended the throne, and the furnishings here became even more simple.

Fortunately, knowing that Luo Fu was coming to listen to the lecture, the Xuande Building was cleaned early, and the couches, tables and chairs were all available.

Murong Jin put the person on the soft couch, covered her with a soft quilt, and caressed her cheek lovingly. Then he stood up, walked to the outer door and opened it.

Suddenly, the rumbling sound of rain came in along with the damp and cold air.

Murong Jin's lips turned slightly blue due to the blow.

The eunuch waiting in the corridor hurried over and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty."

Murong Jin said, "Go to the cabinet and convey my oral instructions. Order all local officials to immediately and strictly inspect the dikes and rivers, reinforce dangerous areas, dredge silt, stockpile sufficient food and medicine, set up night patrols, and promptly report flooding and provide relief. Anyone who dares to slack off and cause harm to people's livelihood will be killed without mercy."

The eunuch hurriedly said yes and turned to leave, but then he heard the emperor say, "Wait."

He quickly turned around.

Murong Jin said, "Tell Gao Bin to search the army for someone with the surname Qi, around 35 years old, whose family made a living by hunting before joining the army. If he finds someone, bring him to me immediately."

The eunuch said, "I'll take note of this. I'll go to the Cabinet and the Imperial Household Department and pass on the message."

Murong Jin paused and said, "Gao Bin wants to use the Jinyiwei. Ask him to find a few from the Martial Arts Academy to go down as training, especially the one named Wen Xiangjun. She must go."

"yes!"

The eunuch remembered the emperor's order clearly in his mind, bowed and waited for a while, and when he saw that the emperor had no more orders, he retreated to the corridor, picked up his umbrella, opened it, and walked into the rain.

cabinet.

Zhang Hong listened to the eunuch's oral instructions without any other expression on his face. He bowed and said, "I obey your order."

The eunuch who came to deliver the message went back to the Imperial Household Department.

Watching the eunuch walk away.

The other three important ministers in the cabinet could not help it.

"It's truly bizarre! Your Majesty seems like a completely different person lately, even taking charge of things like the rainstorm disaster!"

"Lord, what do you think of His Majesty's behavior?"

Zhang Hong bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, this is a wise move. We, your subjects, are blessed."

Those who could enter the cabinet were all shrewd people. Seeing that he started to pretend, the other three immediately followed suit and stopped mentioning the emperor's changes.

Zhang Hong sat behind the desk with a calm expression, writing the imperial edict.

There was a complex look in his eyes.

After the cabinet drafted the edict, it was immediately sent to the Imperial Household Department for stamping.

Gao Bin carefully examined the decree, took the large seal beside it, affixed it, and handed it to the subordinates, instructing them, "This is a personal order from His Majesty. Distribute it immediately. Officials at all levels must not neglect it!"

The people below hurriedly responded and did it.

Gao Bin wrote two more secret letters.

One was handed over to the Northern Pacification Office, which ordered the Jinyiwei from various places to accompany and supervise local officials.

They handed it over to the East Factory, and ordered the soldiers to search for people with the surname Qi in the military at all levels.

The decree and the secret letter were sent together.

When it rained heavily.

Almost everyone is relaxing at home.

The court started to move forward.

The secret letter was sent to the Northern Pacification Office.

All the small flags below received orders and dispersed to various places to supervise officials.

Pei Ji and Qi Chuan were sent together to a county near the capital and were about to set off immediately.

Qichuan could eat enough to feed the whole family, so he just wrapped himself in two sets of clothes placed in the duty room.

He put on his straw raincoat and walked out of the duty room with his small bag rolled up. He saw Pei Ji standing at the door waiting for him, dressed neatly in his straw raincoat, with his bag also ready.

"Brother Pei, how come you're faster than me? I'm afraid you won't be back for ten days or half a month. Why don't you find some time to go back and explain to your family?"

Qichuan walked out with his luggage tightly on his back and said.

Pei Ji walked out with him: "The mission is urgent, I have sent someone back to explain it."

Qi Chuan shook his head and said, "How come you're even more absent from home than I am? I rarely see you go home on weekdays, and now you're going on a long trip without even telling me. Won't your wife at home make a fuss?"

In his mind, once he marries a wife, she will be his lifelong companion.

Women are fragile, so naturally they need more care.

Even if you are busy with official duties, you should take time to go back and visit your wife so that she can feel at ease.

His partner is not like that.

When Pei Ji heard Qi Chuan say this, he couldn't help but think of his family.

When Jiaojiao is at home, he must want to go back all the time.

He was reluctant to let her go as he was going to be away for such a long time, so he could only look for some local specialties and have someone send them back to her.

Just like when he was preparing the betrothal gifts.

But now she is not in his home.

He couldn't even go see her.

What's so good about returning to that home?

Seeing that he was silent, Qi Chuan thought that it might be a family discord, so he said nothing more. He walked to the outer courtyard, took the reins from the clerk, jumped on the horse, and left the Northern Pacification Office with Pei Ji one after the other.

It was raining heavily, and there were no pedestrians on the road. Even most of the shops on the street were closed.

Mrs. Li’s bun shop in front of the Imperial College is on a higher ground, so it’s not closed.

Honeysuckle stood in front of the steamer and looked out.

Mrs. Li came over and said, "Miss, please close the shop. It's raining so hard, no one will come to buy buns."

Honeysuckle knew it, but she couldn't bear to part with it: "There are still ten baskets of buns left, and we can't finish them. If we keep them until tomorrow, they will be stale and no one will want them. It's okay if the weather stays cold, but if the autumn heat comes again, it will be a waste."

As he was speaking, two men riding tall horses suddenly rushed out from the rain.

Honeysuckle's eyes widened.

The two men came straight over, dismounted, walked forward, shook off the water on their bodies under the corridor, raised their heads and said with a smile: "Boss, give me twenty buns."

Upon hearing this, Rendong was overjoyed and quickly responded. She asked someone to open the steamer and take out the buns, and she herself went to the back to find brown paper to carefully pack them.

The two men were already walking over, one in front and one behind.

After wrapping the buns, Honeysuckle raised her head and saw the person standing behind her.

She was stunned for a moment and said, "Master Pei? Why are you here to buy buns at this time?"

Pei Ji said, "I have urgent business to attend to, so I'll eat on the way."

Qi Chuan was a little surprised: "You two know each other?"

Pei Ji said, "They are all from Yanzhou."

Qi Chuan remembered that he had gone to the alley to try to make peace, and couldn't help but punch him: "If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have been so self-indulgent."

Ren Dong was slow-witted, so Pei Ji didn't hesitate to say anything. He just said, "There's nothing much to say. It's just business as usual."

Qichuan nodded. That was true. Not to mention the order from the Imperial Household Department, even if it was the order from the General Banner, they could only handle it impartially.

Honeysuckle didn't understand what they were saying, so she quietly packed twenty more buns and handed them over. "It's raining so hard, there might be water on the road. You must be careful not to fall in."

Pei Ji listened and felt that it was Jiaojiao who was advising him.

His usually expressionless face now had a hint of a smile.

If everything is as it is, then everything should be as it is.

But this day is not far away.

The emperor, who was always cruel, actually took the initiative to care about the water situation.

His actions were getting closer and closer to what he had guessed.

Luo Zhen is of no use, he still needs to do it himself.

This time, the Jinyiwei were scattered to supervise the water situation, and I'm sure the Dongchang was also busy.

Supervision in the capital will be weakened.

Then his chance would come.

Pei Ji was in a good mood as he weighed the bun.

Fu'er will always know what the emperor's hideous face is.

And will always come back to him!
