Xiao Xian didn't continue to explore these issues.
When you think about it carefully, Qu Li does have many secrets.
The good-for-nothing who knew nothing before suddenly became an expert in medicine and could even come up with all sorts of strange and bizarre things.
It doesn't seem surprising that so much food was produced this time.
He looked into the distance, and Zhuoli's words just now echoed over and over in his mind.
Perhaps, Qu Li is indeed a fairy who has descended to earth.
It's just that he didn't cherish her well!
Now, no matter how hard he tried to win her back, or even to warm her heart that was deeply hurt by him, she would not give him another chance!
My heart felt stuffy, as if it was being stirred by a blunt knife.
Xiao Xian continued northward with the victims.
Along the way, the land was cracked and scarred due to drought. Looking around, there was no green at all.
He wrote a memorial, still sent urgently at an 800-li express address, and told Emperor Kangdi in detail about the drought in the north.
Kangdi's forehead began to hurt again.
The riots among the disaster victims in the north have been resolved, and the relief grain has been provided, but where can we find the grain seeds?
The drought has lasted for so long that even if it rains and crops are planted, the people will still have a hard time enduring this winter.
Just as he was thinking hard, another report came from outside.
Kangdi's eyebrows twitched sharply, "Flood in the south?"
His face looked extremely ugly.
Although the floods in the south were not concealed for as long as the drought in the north, there was still some concealment.
If he had not learned the lesson from the drought in the north and sent people to the south, who knows how long the people below would have kept it secret.
"Have I, the emperor, really failed miserably?" Emperor Kang mocked himself bitterly.
"Your Majesty, please don't say that! This is a natural disaster!" Eunuch Fu wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. "I can only say that God must have dozed off, which is why both the north and the south are like this! The most important thing now is how to solve the flooding in the south!"
Soon, the prime minister, the minister of revenue and other important ministers rushed into the palace.
The lights in the imperial study were on from dusk till dawn.
"Your Majesty, please have some ginseng tea first." Eunuch Fu felt very distressed when he saw Emperor Kangdi with bruises and bloodshot eyes.
"The treasury is empty. It's basically used to deal with droughts in the north and floods in the south..."
What worried him was that he had no way to get any more money.
Just when I was worrying, I heard a report from outside.
"Qu Wenzhao wants to see you?" Emperor Kang was full of suspicion, and the wrinkles between his brows deepened.
"Does the emperor want to see him?" asked Eunuch Fu.
"Xuan!"
After this period of rehabilitation, Qu Wenzhao recovered well. With the support of Qiao Zi, he slowly walked into the imperial study.
Just as he was about to kneel down, Kangdi said, "No need."
"Your Majesty, before my elder sister left the capital, she left me a letter, telling me that if the court is in trouble, I must quickly come to the palace to see Your Majesty."
Emperor Kang received an urgent report from Xiao Xian and Rong Wei, which was sent over 800 miles. He learned that Qu Li had solved the problem of disaster relief grain, and he was even more curious about the letter in Qu Wenzhao's hand.
He gave a wink to Eunuch Fu, who immediately took the letter from his hand.
"What does Qu Li mean by this?"
What caught Kangdi's eye was the token of Qianji Money House, and he was full of confusion.
"This is almost all of my eldest sister's belongings. The emperor can use this to solve the flood disaster in the south."
Kangdi's hand trembled.
As far as he knew, Qu Li only opened a restaurant for herself. As for the clinic, she often provided free medical services. How could she have so much money in such a short time?
"Eldest sister said that if I enter the palace to see the emperor, the emperor will definitely be suspicious! I don't know either. I will tell you everything in detail after I return."
That token could be used to withdraw tens of millions of taels of silver from Qianji Bank, enough to solve the flood disaster in the south.
Emperor Kang didn't bother to find out where Qu Li got so much silver. He ordered Eunuch Fu to summon the court officials to the imperial study again to discuss the flood in the south.
When the court officials heard that the silver problem had been solved, their faces changed drastically.
Some people investigated the origin of the silver and even attacked Qu Li, so Emperor Kang directly dismissed him from his post.
Make an example of this and no one will say anything irrelevant at such a sensitive time.
Now that the silver is settled, the only thing left is food, and then there's someone to go to the south to provide disaster relief.
If the north had not suffered from drought, Emperor Kang would certainly have preferred Xiao Xian.
Thinking about his sons who were useless, he felt extremely sad.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince are still princes after all. Prince Chen has gone to the north. If we send a court official with him, I'm afraid the officials in the south will be cunning and treacherous!" said the Prime Minister.
Kangdi rubbed his swollen forehead and said, "At this time, anyone who fails to provide disaster relief will be killed without mercy!"
The atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became solemn.
"Your Majesty, the Second and Fourth Princes are just deceived. The court is in need of people right now! Didn't you always say before that you don't have to be afraid of making mistakes, you always have to gain experience?" Bai Zhonghe stepped forward and suggested.
Emperor Kang took a deep breath and said, "I'll think about it again."
In the military camp, Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci, who were in charge of preparing disaster relief food, were no longer as calm and composed as they used to be, and were no different from ordinary soldiers.
When the two heard about the floods in the south, their faces did not show worry for the people, but their eyes were filled with unconcealable ecstasy.
Now that Xiao Xian is in the north, and his father has no one available, they will be able to leave here soon.
The two men waited for the imperial edict, but the military camp remained quiet until the sun set.
Xiao Rui sneered, "Second brother, don't wait any longer. If you ask me, in the eyes of the emperor, only my seventh brother is his son!"
Xiao Ci gave him a cold glare, "You'd better shut up!"
He and Xiao Rui did make mistakes, but at least he still had a powerful maternal family.
"Have you heard? The Emperor has appointed the Eighth Prince to go to the south to provide disaster relief!"
"Eighth Prince?! But isn't the Eighth Prince only obsessed with music? Why was he suddenly ordered to go to the south to provide disaster relief?"
…
The two soldiers were talking in low voices and did not notice the increasingly ugly faces of Xiao Rui and Xiao Ci behind them.
Xiao Ci clenched his hands.
These days, he has been transporting relief grain in the military camp, and his hands, which were once pampered, are now extremely rough.
He was not as skilled as others and fell into Xiao Rui's trap, and even lost his favorite Ruan Su.
He admitted all of this!
When he arrived at the military camp, he sincerely repented and wanted Emperor Kang to see his attitude of admitting his mistakes, forgive him and give him a chance.
But what did he wait for?
How could Lao Ba, who only knew music and was uneducated, have the ability to go to the south to solve the flood problem?
Xiao Rui's mood was not much better than Xiao Ci's.
He would not be so angry if Emperor Kang sent any of his court officials to the south to take charge of disaster relief.
But he chose the eighth one!
