Chapter 016 I want my freedom

sent bubbles away, but Nangong Bingyu changed her usual laziness and called Qingfeng to follow, "Qingfeng, go and prepare my palace clothes. This time I'm going to talk about a deal with the emperor. The news of an empty grain in the rice this year. Generally speaking, if the court officials quickly sent the news, I guess the emperor would have known the news by now.

Nangong Bingyu's words are right. Emperor Chu Tianxiao has lost his temper in the imperial study!

"Why is such a major thing reported now!"

Chu Tian laughed and scolded the officials who came to report. He was so angry that he trembled all over. The war situation at the border finally changed a little. Something seemed to have happened in the sea country. In the past few days, the attack has been stopped. Naturally, the Dajing Dynasty was also happy to move, and with the support of the Nangong family, they could also take the opportunity to store their troops, defeat the sea country in one fell swoop, and captured the sea country into a subsidiary country of the Dajing Dynasty.

But at this ** moment, a shocking news came from all over the country: there was an empty valley in the rice in the early summer of this year?!

Empty valley, which means that the rice planted in spring ploughing this year will produce less, or even no grain.

And hard-working farmers will work for nothing, food will be empty, famine will follow, and food will be the first of the people. As the emperor, he knows this better than anyone else. Once there is a food shortage in Dajing, the country will be in chaos and uncontrollable, and the consequences will be unimaginable!

Let those officials retreat. Chu Tian smiled and wrinkled his handsome face and thought bitterly. Do he need to borrow some more food from the Nangong family? As long as the Nangong family's granary is willing to open the warehouse, it will solve the current urgent needs first, at least reassure farmers and will not cause panic for the time being.

However, this time, the Nangong family sent so much food to the border army. Will the Nangong family really have food storage?

While struggling to find out how to solve this problem, Xiao Xizi, who was waiting with him, suddenly came in and looked very embarrassed, but still said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is asking for a meeting outside."

"Imperial Noble Concubine?"

Chu Tian smiled and was stunned. This is the imperial study, and it is not a place where the concubines of the harem can come in at any time, because the late emperor has a rule: the concubines of the harem cannot do politics!

This is the decree issued by the emperor. Once he gets into politics, it is the crime of killing the heads of the nine clans!

Chu Tianxiao thought about it. He did also need to see Nangong Bingyu. He wanted to know how much rice grain Nangong Bingyu had to support the time limit of this empty valley disaster, so he said cheerfully, "Xuan!"

Xiao Xizi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to welcome the imperial concubine into the imperial study.

Xiao Xizi walked out while wiping the sweat on her forehead.

He was really scared by the eldest lady of the Nangong family. Master Qin urged him to arrange a good meeting with the emperor, but the eldest lady of the Nangong family provoked the emperor's anger as soon as she entered the palace. Even if he had many rhetoric and Miss Nangong did not want to cooperate, it was all in vain. Today, a harem concubine came to the imperial study to see the emperor in palace clothes. She was so bold that even the cold sweat on his forehead was scared out.

In case the emperor is angry, then Miss Nangong's head will have to move! Then won't Master Qin settle accounts with him at that time? However, he persuaded Miss Nangong to go back to the weaving house and wait. He would inform the emperor and ask the emperor to go to the weaving house. Unexpectedly, Miss Nangong was stubborn and wanted to see the emperor.

Well, he braved the emperor's anger and the possibility of being innocent. When he reported, his heart was beating.

But to his surprise, the emperor was not angry, but announced the imperial concubine.

Nangong Bingyu was dressed in a palace costume, which was noble and powerful. She carefully looked at her charming posture, which would make people sink into her smile. She came in Yingying, stopped, and smiled at Chu Tian and saluted, "I want to see the emperor."

"flat body."

After she stood down, Chu Tian smiled and spread out his hands and said, "Are you here to please me today?"

Nangong Bingyu smiled and shook her head. "I'm not here to please the emperor, but I don't want to make the emperor feel that I am in the eyes. I want to give the emperor a pleasure and directly issue an order to the concubine out of the palace."

When Chu Tianxiao heard these words after she finished, she didn't know why her heart seemed to be stopped by something, and her throat was inexplicably choked, and she couldn't say anything.

She looked at him equally, and there was no fear in her eyes. Although there was his shadow in her gem-like eyes, there was no him in her heart, and she even turned a blind eye to his handsomeness. Even if he assigned her to a place close to the cold palace, she was still not angry.

Yesterday, I heard everything about her from Shangguan Zhaoyi, which made him very curious about her. Why can such an indisputable woman have no emotional changes in everything? Even if she saw him, she was still performing the hypocritical palace etiquette.

When he saw her palace dress, although it was amazing, it also gave him a feeling that she was not suitable to be imprisoned in this palace.

Chu Tian narrowed his eyes with a smile and looked at her, "Do you think I will agree?" He didn't think he would let her leave the palace. Although she was beautiful and not a woman who would be obedient to the emperor, he didn't care about these. Because what moved him was the Nangong family behind her. He will not be the king who loves beauty but not the country!

Nangong Bingyu pointed her index finger at Chu Tianxiao and said softly, "You can." And you - you must give an order.

"Oh?"

Chu Tian smiled and raised her eyebrows beautifully. Her affirmative and concise answer made him curious. Why did she make such a decision that he would definitely make an order?

Chu Tianxiao stared at Nangong Bingyu's confident smiling face and asked, "What makes you so confident?"

To Chu Tian's smiling eyes, Nangong Bingyu answered slowly, "First, you will accept me as a concubine, which is nothing more than wanting the Nangong family to support Jingguo in terms of food and financial resources. This shows that the emperor does not love me, and my exit from the palace is just to empty the position of the imperial concubine, so for the whole The Dajing Dynasty, even the emperor, did not lose anything. Second, the phenomenon of empty valley has appeared in China today..."

Chu Tianxiao interrupted her carelessly, "It's just an empty valley. As long as your Nangong family is willing to open a granary, my great Yasukuni will definitely tide over this difficulty."

Nangong Bingyu sneered, "Your Majesty, are you too naive? Is the three-month rice grain sent by my Nangong family to the border army really so insignificant in your eyes? If it's really a small expense, why can't the treasury of the Jing Dynasty send food to the army? On the contrary, you forced me to be the imperial concubine?"

Her words made Chu Tian laugh so much that she couldn't say a word.

Nangong Bingyu took Chu Tianxiao's embarrassment and continued to say, "For the border army, our Nangong family has done its best to give all its granaries to the border army. It can be said that my Nangong family's granaries are completely grainless! And I will go out of the palace this time so that this spring ploughing production will not really produce all the grains.

"Can you change the appearance of the empty valley when you leave the palace?"

Chu Tianxiao cleverly grasped what Nangong Bingyu wanted to express.

She nodded, "So, now the emperor and I are here to talk about the transaction."

"What deal."

"I want my freedom, you want your country, as long as my freedom is still there, then the Great Yasukuni will exist. If the day I lose my freedom, the Great Yasukuni will no longer exist. Nangong Bingyu said coldly.

Chu Tian squinted at the lifeless woman in front of him. He spoke presumptuously in front of him and scolded angrily, "Do you mean that if I don't let you out of the palace, the Great Yasukuni will disappear?"

"Exact!"

"Bold! With your words, I can ask for your head at any time!"

Nangong Bingyu lowered her head and whispered, "Yes! The emperor is the noble of the Ninety-Year Plan, and I am just the daughter of a small merchant. However, when the emperor ordered you to cut off my head, and at this time, my Nangong family's granary also set off a fire in time, burning up the seeds of high-quality grain. I'm afraid of the autumn ploughing season, and I'm afraid that the emperor still has enough food to eat. It's these people who suffer. I don't know if the country can still be stable when the hungry people rise at that time. After all, the king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky!"

Nangong Bingyu's soft words instantly turned the anger on Chu Tianxiao's face into panic, and her words fell. Chu Tianxiao had come to her, grabbed her shoulders and roared, "You can't--"

The shining eyes and cold whispers made Chu Tian laugh unconsciously and creepy. Can't she? Chu Tianxiao made it very clear that as the Nangong family of the grain of the Dajing Dynasty, of course she could!

Thinking of this, Chu Tianxiao couldn't calm down, and the strength in his hand unconsciously increased, which made Nangong Bingyu frown. Chu Tianxiao said excitedly, "You won't do this! Do you know how many people will die when you do this?

Nangong Bingyu's shoulder has been hurt by him, but she didn't struggle at all. She just looked at him indifferently and said faintly, "Yes, I know, you know better!" So, I want to hear your answer. Is there an order or not?"

Nangong Bingyu is actually gambling. The gambling emperor has a love for the people, and he also gambles that the emperor does not know whether the granary of the Nangong family is still rice grains. When she entered the palace, she has already secretly instructed the drizzle to make a big move to empty the granary of the Nangong family, and transport it to the border. In fact, it is to transfer rice grain to another place. This is one is to hide the strength of the Nangong family, and the other is to let the emperor know that the Nangong family is really doing its best to protect the country.

Seeing the emperor's painful color, Nangong Bingyu thought that she would win this time.

Feering Chu Tianxiao's hand grabbing her shoulder slowly relaxed, Chu Tianxiao separated, sighed and said helplessly, "You won, I promise you!"

She also breathed a secret sigh of relief in her heart. In fact, there was one thing that the emperor did not understand. That is, she won't be so cruel to ask so many people to die with her. For the sake of selfishness, she can't kill so many people. She can't get through the barrier in her heart alone.

In addition, Qin Ge, Duke of Qin, is her grandfather. Anyway, her grandfather will not betray Yasukuni for her death.

Nangong Bingyu was really grateful for the completion of Chu Tianxiao and said sincerely, "Thank you."

"What do you want me to do?"

Nangong Bingyu then put forward what she thought, "Your Majesty set me free. That's what I want, how about it?"

"Is this really your ultimate goal?"

She smiled. She knew what Chu Tianxiao was thinking. Her existence was already a threat to the royal court. She has exposed herself. Next, she should think about how to retreat from a businessman to an ordinary person.

With a flash of inspiration, I immediately thought of it. Nangong Bingyu looked at him and said, "Your Majesty, after I leave the palace, I will solve the empty valley worries for you."

"You mean, you will solve the empty valley this time?" Chu Tian smiled and said suspiciously, "Didn't you say that your Nangong family has no food? How..."

"Your Majesty, sometimes, when solving problems, you don't need the sponsorship of others, but depends on whether you are willing to think about this problem and whether you are willing to solve this problem!"

Chu Tian asked with a smile, "You mean..."

"If the emperor wants to know how I solved it, he is willing to do it himself."

"Do it yourself?"

Three days later, something happened that shocked all the people in the harem.

Today's emperor and the imperial concubine went out of the palace and went to the rice fields at the root of the imperial city to see how the disaster was in the empty valley were. This move shocked all people. The people in the harem were jealous of the noble concubine and the emperor's trip, so it almost burned to the fire.

This time he left the palace, the emperor called the imperial concubine to go there, but she wanted to know how the imperial concubine was favored.

Ling Linger gritted her teeth with hatred and was furious in her Meiyuan! Her originally beautiful face is now full of murderous intentions. She actually killed the imperial concubine who lived in the cold palace. She thought that the emperor had nothing to do with her, and she also felt that what her father said was right. The emperor only took advantage of her and kept her.

However, I never expected that now the emperor and the noble concubine would go out of the palace alone to investigate this empty valley disaster. This time! She will never let the noble concubine go back to the palace! If the noble concubine returns to the palace, how can she have a foothold in this palace!?

There were also two imperial doctors who followed, one of whom was a ghost dream.

And Chu Tiancheng, the king of Xiaoyao, also inexplicably joined a foot and followed.

Chu Tianxiao, who came out of the palace, was dressed in plain clothes, and Chu Tiancheng was walking next to him. The two brothers were whispering, as if they were talking about something.

Nangong Bingyu and Guimeng followed closely. Both of them were dressed in white clothes. Although the clothes were ordinary, the texture was extraordinary. The handsome man and the woman came out of the dust, but Nangong Bingyu and Guimeng are the kind of people who can't pay attention to the people in the royal family. Although they follow the emperor, their eyes are looking around and have no focus at all.

The breeze followed closely next to Nangong Bingyu. The young lady's face was flat and did not care at all because the emperor was beside her. She walked all the way forward.

After walking for a while, he finally came to the root of the imperial city. A green rice field reflected everyone's eyes. Chu Tianxiao and Chu Tiancheng brothers were more surprised by this large area of vibrant rice field. He grew up in the palace and had never seen such a large area of rice since he ascended the throne. , the weather is smooth, and there has never been an empty valley, so he has not overworked much. Every day, he sits in the imperial study to approve the major issues on the border. There are also some places where disasters need to be allocated silver and grain. Of course, this is only a few.

As soon as Nangong Bingyu came here, a gust of wind blew, and a little hot temperature came to his face.

She squatted down, looked down at the little rice ears that had just appeared, and reached out and pinched it. Sure enough, it was completely empty. Go forward, then squat down, reach out to touch the rice ears, and gently frown her beautiful willow leaves.

Chu Tian looked at her serious look with a smile and suddenly felt that her serious look was very charming.

In his heart, he no longer cares about her rudeness the other day, and can even be said to threaten him. He came forward and asked, "Why is there so much empty shell of rice?"

Nangong Bingyu raised her head and smiled at him, "Do you know that?"

"If I want to know, do I still need to ask you?" Chu Tianxiao sprayed her face angrily. Did she really think he was a god? How could he understand this kind of natural disaster?

"Oh?" Nangong Bingyu's clear voice came slowly, which seemed to bring a trace of freshness to this summer. "There is only one reason why rice will have empty shells, that is, the weather is hot."

"High temperature?"

"Yes, the high temperature will lead to a large number of empty shells in rice, with almost no grains. In these planted rice, there are high branches and neck wrapping on their stems. Farmers often only pay attention to low temperatures and pay little attention to high temperatures. In fact, if the rice is too hot, it will lead to a large number of empty shells, resulting in a serious reduction in production, and some even no harvest.

The people who have been following them began to ponder after hearing Nangong Bingyu's words, because what she said also seemed to be reasonable.

Prince Xiaoyao Chu Tiancheng is a studious and asks modestly, "If you know the reason, there must be a solution. Excuse me, the rice is in high temperature now, so how to make the empty valley disappear?

Nangong Bingyu pondered for a while, "First of all, we should avoid the damage of high and low temperatures. We can use daily irrigation and night drainage to cool down, which can appropriately reduce the temperature of rice and improve their relative humidity, which will help improve the empty valley into strongness."
