Chapter 558

The empress nodded: "although Lixue is rebellious, they are also the descendants of the emperor and Si Ziyi. They ignore Lixue and their friendship for you. They love you very much."

Lou Han knew it and kept nodding, but why did the queen mention it all of a sudden at this time? Lou Han lowered his head and took a sip of tea, waiting for the queen to go on.

Sure enough, the queen turned her words and looked at the lake outside the pavilion.

"It's nothing more than Li Xue. If the emperor gives up, it's not surprising for us. But her father, Li Da, the emperor allows him to resign without saying a word. It doesn't seem to matter to you, but you don't know what it means."

What I just talked about was the drought in the north. How did I suddenly mention Li Da Ren? At that time, his anger at his hatred appeared in front of his head from time to time. Every time I think of adult Li, I seem to see the hatred of Li Xue for myself.

I'm away from you.

"When he resigned that day, he knew that there was such a drought. At that time, he resigned in order to coerce the emperor to cure me."

The queen was surprised and looked at Lou Han approvingly: "sure enough, Bing Xue is smart and can get through at one point, but I never expected that the emperor would be forced to be soft rather than hard, which would be counterproductive. The Emperor allowed him to resign. Now I'm afraid I'm sorry. I'm beating my chest and feet. "

I think of Qingming before I left you. Now I'm in my prime, and the previous things are very satisfactory to the emperor. If he comes forward, this drought will be half as usual, and the future disaster will be eliminated. But now the emperor has lost the best candidate in the imperial court, so it's a loss for both sides."

The emperor really sacrificed a lot for himself. When I was an imperial minister before I left, I was very experienced in such natural and man-made disasters. Every time he appears, he will be able to stabilize the people.

The previous local officials suppressed the case and lied about the disaster, which made the emperor think it was not serious, so he readily asked adult Li to resign and return to the field. Now, the emperor is having a headache for the drought in the north.

The queen has always been known for her virtuous and virtuous character. Seeing that the emperor was in a dilemma, she took the initiative to reduce the expenditure of the harem. The monthly silver was cut by half, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

The longer the disaster lasts, the more serious the disaster is.

After talking about it for a long time, it was already dark when she came back to the palace. Si Ziyi personally welcomed her in and said, "you are just in good health. Now it's nothing serious. You have a good rest in the palace and take care of yourself slowly."

Lou Han wanted to do the same, but she was a hard-working life. She said lightly, "I have asked the queen to take the gold and silver we have accumulated to the victims for disaster relief."

But Si Ziyi didn't have a sullen look. His dark eyes were clear, and he slowly took out an imperial edict from his arms. Lou Han looked at it suspiciously, and his lips began to smile.

It was the emperor who appointed Si Ziyi as the imperial envoy to the disaster areas in the north. Lou Han clapped his hands with joy: "great, we want to go together." Lou Han happily pours into Si Ziyi's arms and holds his neck.

"Along the way, I was thinking about it, too?"

The Queen's words make Lou Han feel heavy. After dispersing, he doesn't go back to the palace immediately. He wants to meet the emperor and offer himself. However, his official position has no influence. If he wants to succeed in this matter, Si Ziyi must come forward, and the only thing Lou Han can do is to do his best to help the victims.

But I didn't expect that the surprise would come later. Si Ziyi had already gone to get the imperial edict first. Lou Han saw it twice and then returned it to him after confirming that it was correct. At the same time, he was very surprised:

"I've already thought about it all the way, and there must be a great shortage of water in the future. On the one hand, we need to send people to look for water. On the other hand, we need to let the surrounding areas open warehouses for disaster relief. "

"How can you, as a woman, think about these things and where can you put us? You can rest assured that we have all thought of these one by one. As long as the first rain falls in autumn, all the problems will be solved. "

On the ground, where the sun is scorching and chapped like the grain on the back of a tortoise, a child is barefoot and his feet are red. Every step I take, I frown. It's too hot here.

With a bucket on his back, the boy is going to fetch water in the remote mountains, and then find some wild vegetables to go home and boil some vegetable soup to satisfy his hunger.

It's been a month, every day. There are few people left in the village who run away and die. The child didn't leave because his mother was too weak.

Since childhood, he was dependent on each other. He was unwilling to abandon his mother. His father died early, but his mother brought him up. They couldn't leave, so they racked their brains to live.

The original town has already become empty. The fields are full of wild vegetables with drooping leaves. It seems that there is no way to survive.

They don't need much water together, and the children are very industrious. Hiding everything from her mother, her mother just said why the second aunt didn't come to visit, and the third uncle didn't see anyone for a long time?

When the relatives left, they all advised the children that the imperial court had already forgotten them. What Qingtian would come to save them? There was no Qingtian. They had only white and cool days. They were so ruthless that they wanted to take their lives. There was only one way to die here.He still insisted on not going, at the door, not let them close to his mother. When he got to the back, more people who knew the inside story told him that most of the silver allocated by the imperial court and the rice for disaster relief had already been pocketed by the officials. This was purgatory on earth.

It turned out that there was a real good man who had given rice porridge. When he was too hungry, the boy went to the porridge shed again and again. However, it was empty, just like the whole empty street, and his heart was empty and desperate.

Lou Han and Si Ziyi set out. In a overcast weather, the ink like clouds hang low, with the smell of wind and rain coming.

My heart is as heavy as this cloud.

Their mercenaries escorted the rice and grain exchanged with silver. Then they arrived, and they took several of their men to investigate the disaster.

The first place they came to was the place with the least disaster. They arrived in the evening. At that time, they were still singing and dancing. It did not seem to have any impact, but made them doubt whether the information they got was true.

Since adult Li resigned because of himself, and the imperial court lost such a talent, Lou Han felt guilty and didn't feel at ease until he really confirmed that there was no disaster.
