Chapter 202 Liangzhou Disaster Relief

In May, the emperor of Beiqiu allocated money for disaster relief and sent important court officials to Liangzhou.

Rumor has it that in addition, the emperor also appointed a new imperial minister to personally inspect the people's situation in Liangzhou with the seal personally issued by the emperor.

In the same month, Yu, the famous imperial concubine of Beiqiu, on behalf of the emperor and the empress dowager, went to Zhonghua Temple to pray for the people of the Beiqiu Dynasty.

The afterglow of the sunset is shining, and the sea of clouds can be faintly seen in the halo. The distant mountains are slanting, and there is a lush green. After a few days of driving, it is only hundreds of meters away from Liangzhou City. Xinyu let go of her hand, and the light in the car immediately darkens.

"I really don't understand what the Empress thinks. She has a good life, but she has to come to Liangzhou City to suffer. Is it possible that the people are really so important in the mother's heart?"

At this time, all three of her colleagues changed their men's clothes and spoke quietly sitting on Shulan. She has been running around since she was a child and experienced the disaster. She knew what kind of place they were going to face. After getting along with each other for many days, she could see that Yu Meiren was a life-threatening master. I don't know why she had to come to this place of natural and man-made disasters. Fang.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man. This is the only thing a small woman in my palace can do."

"The imperial court's bail has been allocated. Why did the Empress take this trip in person?"

Xinyu is also a little puzzled, and Yu Meiren's body is not suitable for long journeys. Running around like this must have some impact on her body.

"Do you think I really want to take care of this matter? Water can carry boats and overturn them. Now the country of Beiqiu is in turmoil. If you can't comfort the people, you will definitely be distracted. Only by saving the country can we save our family, and this palace is also to protect ourselves.

" Besides, don't you feel bored when you always fight with a large group of women in the palace?"

"Yes, it's also good to go out and relax."

Xinyu Guaner opened the curtain of the carriage again. On this road, the green mountains and green water can be seen more than in the palace.

"You don't have to choose a remote place like Liangzhou to relax. Not only has there been a flood, but I also heard that there has been a plague in that place. I think our master thinks his life is too long. I don't believe it. You didn't see it.

Shulan looked at Yu Meiren fixedly and seemed to have a clear look at each other: "Does the master have his own plan?"

"I can't hide anything from you."

Beauty Yu restrained her smile. In fact, she didn't intend to hide it from them: "Actually, I have two things to do this time, one is to win the hearts of the people, and the other is to ask you to help me check a person."

"Who is the master who wants us to check?"

Xinyu was slightly surprised. Seeing that the color of Yu beauty's eyes deepened, she spit out two words from her lips: "Concubine Yun."

"Concubine?" Shulan was also a little surprised: "How could the master think of checking Yun's concubine? Isn't she the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Ceremonies?

"Yes, but it's not." Yu Meiren's words seemed to have a deep meaning: "Because the earthworm was busy with political affairs, the concubine in the palace was rarely spoiled, but Yun and Lan's second concubine rose quickly. Originally, there were more or less the emperor's thoughts about the promotion. The palace should not be too careful. Unfortunately, this palace could not prevent Yun's abdominal pain that day."

"Why did you start from Liangzhou if you wanted to investigate Yun's concubine?"

Shulan was puzzled, but Yu Meiren smiled: "This is still thanks to Xinyu. She was suspicious of Yun's concubine that day, so she checked the matter of Yun. This Yun concubine was sent to Liangzhou for foster care by her father since she was a child. She didn't take her back to the imperial city until the age of the draft. Unfortunately, the Concubine we saw did not Don't you think it's strange to have a Liangzhou accent?

"What are you worried about?"

Shulan stared at Yu Meiren and was shocked.

"I suspect that the concubine Yun was dropped before entering the palace. If this concubine is fake, then her purpose of coming to the Beiqiu Palace is not simple. So I ordered someone to draw a portrait of a concubine and bring it to Liangzhou, but..."

However, if the impersonated woman looks exactly the same as the concubine, it is nothing more than a move.

"You help me investigate the preferences of this concubine and what is special about her body. I don't want that that person is in any danger now. If there is really something wrong with this concubine, I can only blame her for her bad life."

"The master only checked Yun's concubine. Don't you think that Lan's concubine is also suspicious?"

Shulan continued to ask, but Xinyu interrupted: "You think the master didn't check the Lan concubine, but although that Lan looks the most suspicious, she can't find anything. Let's just think she is ashamed of the master."

When Xinyu said these words, she specially paid attention to the expression on Yu Meiren's face. Seeing that she looked as usual, she stopped talking.

The carriage drove steadily and soon arrived in Liangzhou City. The carriage had not yet entered the city. The body seemed to have been violently hit and turned to the other side of the city.

Beauty Yu's body shook, her head suddenly hit back, and even the position of the old wound was pulled.

"Master."

Xinyu reached out to hold her, and then held the window. After the horse hissed, the carriage stopped.

The driver immediately raised the curtain, leaned into his head, and said worriedly, "Master, how are you?

"I'm fine."

stabilized her body. Yu Meiren breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She looked at the attendant and asked, "What happened?"

"If you go back to the master, it is a refugee from Liangzhou City who was stopped outside the city."

The reply was another servant, who was sent by Beiqiu Yin to protect her. It goes without saying that martial arts.

Pulling the curtain, I saw three or five groups of refugees outside rushing into the city again and again, but they were stopped.

After reading so many dramas and books in her previous life, Yu Mei immediately understood what had happened and smiled coldly.

"What a Liangzhou magistrate, the court gave him a salary to do things, which turned out to be such a waste of life. Find a way to settle those refugees."

"Yes."

The attendant was ordered and immediately went to execute, while the other man took the car and turned to the city.

After entering the city, Yumei found that although the outside of Liangzhou was full of refugees and a depressed scene, the inside of Liangzhou was a peaceful scene. There were no natural disasters for years as reported before. The people were unable to make a living, and the local officials of the imperial court were helpless.

Although the people are bitter cold and there are even many beggars, there are many businessmen walking on the street, as well as some princes and women with beautiful makeup.

Yu Meiren's heart was chilled. It turned out that this was a so-called natural disaster and man-made disaster, which was really ice and fire.

The people are still suffering, but local officials are enjoying their lives, regardless of the lives of the people, but they are exaggeratedly waiting for the imperial court's respite, and then all of them are embezzled. I'm afraid that a small local official dares not do it at all, and there must be a backer in the court.

Since the founding of the Beiqiu Dynasty, the most taboo thing is that the ministers of the court have formed a party and privately taught each other, but now let her see this scene. I don't know whether she is unlucky or those people are unlucky.

When they got out of the carriage, the attendants who settled the victims had rushed over, and the group found an inn to stay for the time being.

ordered a few dishes and winks at each other. Shulan made fun of the shopkeeper Xiao Er.

Soon, Yu Meiren knew something about the situation in Liangzhou City. Speaking of which, the magistrate of Liangzhou City was originally a person who had read the book of sages and had been honest officials for a while, but unfortunately, after marrying the unruly daughter of the Taishou a few days ago, her sister became the emperor's favorite concubine and became what she is today.

This Liangzhou city is also a rich place, but since the governor of Liangzhou changed his temperament, he began to search for a large number of people's fat, bully the people, and forced them to be prostitutes. It's okay to be an official. However, even if there was a flood and famine in the city, he didn't care. He just took the opportunity to lie to the court about the disaster and planned to wait for the relief to arrive. Sit and enjoy it.

In such a big Liangzhou city, no one can do anything to their husband and wife, and this Liangzhou magistrate is actually the cousin of Yun's concubine and the brother-in-law of the court's ceremonial department. No wonder he can cover the sky with one hand. His cousin is pregnant with the emperor's dragon seed and the first child. What he thinks is the holy pet, and what he did is No one can control it, so it's even bolder.

"It really takes no effort."

This was a little ironic, but Xinyu and Shulan smiled at each other.

"What do you think I should deal with this time?"

Beauty Yu looked at the two, but was shocked when she saw them. Xinyu said first, "The Empress has always done things clearly, so naturally we don't have to worry about it."

"It's a pity that I'm a little worried this time."

"Why?"

Shulan couldn't help but feel strange. This time, Yu Meiren came to take the handle of the concubine, not to mention that she was pregnant, but she had already threatened when she dared to target Yu Meiren. This time, the emperor personally instructed her to patrol. It would not be better if she could get some evidence against that woman.

"That man is Yun's cousin, and Yun's concubine is also a pregnant woman. Isn't it immoral to do things that stimulate pregnant women?"

"If the Empress is really worried about this, I won't worry about it."

Shulan smiled, as if she could see through her.

Beauty Yu also knew that there was no need to hide it: "This matter is very implicated. I don't know who the big tree at the top is, so I may implicate myself in it. Besides, this kind of thing is bullying the king, but it can be the great sins of the nine clans. The Yun concubine's family may be involved in it. If it is the nine clans, wouldn't it involve the Yun concubine and the children? In this way, the Yun concubine's children will still be regarded as the emperor.

"What the Empress said is even more entangled. In my opinion, what the Empress is most worried about is who the final big tree is. If it involves the left and right Ercheng, it is the foundation of the country. In this way, the Empress did not help the emperor, but harmed the emperor."

"You are well thought out."

Beauty Yu took a look at Xinyu and then locked her eyebrows: "I'm not worried about my father. According to my father's character, I will definitely not do the thing that corrupts the law and privately teaches each other. But if Zuo Cheng's so-called, it can't be exposed. Although Zuo Cheng has been defeated, the forces established later cannot be underestimated, which is enough to compete with my father. He and my father are both elders of the court. Even if they are greedy, they are also kind to the court and will not be moved. Therefore, the palace wants a complete strategy that can eliminate some of the party members and teach them a lesson. Those people dare not commit it again, and they can keep the root of the big tree and slowly eradicate it later.

"But hasn't the emperor already photographed the important ministers in the court? Won't they doubt the scene in the city?"

Xinyu still had some doubts. Beauty Yu only smiled and said, "The illusion is made by people. You think the officials who came before are all fools, and you don't know if it will be their own people this time."

"The emperor should have begun to be suspicious, so he sent his wife to visit privately."

Yes, that earthworm must not be a fool. Yu Meiren sneered: "So this time we not only have to be beautiful, but also want to buy people's hearts."

"What is the master going to do?"

The beauty looked around, then lowered her voice and looked at the two attendants: "While the money for disaster relief has not arrived, the palace will find some people to intercept the disaster silver with you. Remember to cut it on the day the silver arrives in the city, and then transport it back to the imperial city. Then you can find a way to spread the news that the emperor has been cut off for disaster relief. The court will definitely send someone to investigate. At this time, you will incite the people to rebel and make a big deal about those things when they were bullied by officials. Even if it is face, the top will be enough.

"The master wants to pretend to comfort the people through the fear of Liangzhou officials, so no matter how long it takes, those people will benefit."

Xinyu smiled and couldn't help but be happy.

"Don't be happy too early. Who knows what those officials will do? If they really open warehouses and put porridge, I will find a way to delay this matter for a long time."

"Actually, what I want to know most is what kind of role the master will play in this play to buy people's hearts."

Beauty Yu smiled but did not answer. After staring for a long time, she showed a mysterious smile.

"This is a secret, and you will know then."
