[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

Just as Yan Zhen expected, the matter of disaster relief was due to gift giving, so Emperor Liang handed it over to Prince Jing.

The weather was cold, Yan Zhen prepared several fur coats for him, and gave him earnest instructions before leaving.

Xiao Jingyan told her with a smile that he passed by Binzhou along the way to buy her favorite shuttle candy and came back.

The disaster relief work went smoothly.

Xiao Jingyan and Shen Zhui, Shangshu of the Household Department, had been on good terms from the beginning. The two cooperated tacitly and had no sense of restraint between them. In addition, they were both very self-disciplined and extremely principled people. They killed and withdrew a few unknown winds and still followed the usual practice. After acting the governor of the state, the situation was quickly under control.

Although I dare not say that the errands are handled as cleanly as possible from top to bottom, but compared to the situation in previous years when only one-third of the disaster money went into the hands of the victims, it is really a heaven and a hell.

Shen Zhui is a man of action, and he can't sit still in the capital, so he asks for an order to inspect the disaster-stricken area in person, so as to ensure that there are fewer deaths, no relief, a safe winter, and no shortage of spring plowing in the coming year.

Xiao Jingyan exchanged letters with him every day, racking his brains to think of other ways to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible.

Although Xiao Jingyan was weak in this respect, Mei Changsu had been in the arena for more than ten years and knew the people's sentiments. He also had many people who had been at the bottom for many years under his command, so he gave him some suggestions and asked him to discuss them with Shen Zhui.

The Master Shangshu inspected the site for a while, and found that the opinion was exactly the same as Xiao Jingyan's. He added a few more, and finally reported it to Emperor Liang.

In previous years, catastrophes were more likely to occur because the victims had no food, no clothes, and nothing to do. After the disaster, they had no way to arrange the next year’s spring farming, so they were desperate. Some small reasons could lead to chaos. It has always been the most headache for the court.

The memorial of Xiao Jingyan and Shen Zhui is mainly aimed at this. Although there are many points, in summary, the main purpose is to let the victims of the disaster have enough food first, and then according to the actual situation of each state, arrange the people to manage other sideline businesses to survive the famine.

For example, Weizhou near the water is rich in cattail grass, which can be woven into fabrics such as bibs, tea sets, straw mats, etc., and transported to Beijing by officials, where it is very popular; other states also have similar industries that can be explored for benefit.

At the same time, taking advantage of the warm weather for one or two months, the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court convened projects such as building roads and bridges, dredging rivers, and mining mountains, so that the strong and unskilled victims could exchange their labor for wages. Some states that are not frozen can even Work continued until next spring.

The seed grain for spring plowing in disaster-stricken areas is allocated by the government as a special fund, and farmers who have no seeds can come to receive it. The tax of the year is completely exempted.

In this way, after all, the disaster victims have benefited more than in previous years, but the government has spent less money on relief. Most people have things to do, even if they are not completely self-sufficient, but it is better than begging and starving everywhere or waiting for rewards from the government □□ Ming porridge is good.

If there are some local officials who are flexible and make appropriate arrangements, the suffering of this disaster year can be alleviated a lot.

Since the implementation of this memorial was approved by Emperor Liang, it has achieved very good results.

Not only has there been no catastrophe in the situation, but the treasury has not suffered a big loss. At the same time, the behavior of local officials has been cleaned up and new regulations have been opened.

Xiao Jingyan's image of being able to fight on horseback and rule when dismounted was further established, and Shen Zhui's official reputation became more and more popular, and his prestige in the court became more and more. Yu Wang tried to find ways to find him several times, but in the end he failed.

This disaster relief will bring up Xiao Jingyan's title again, and Yan Zhen knows that once his title is shoulder to shoulder with King Yu, King Yu won't be able to sit still.

She went to find Mei Changsu through the secret passage.

Now that Nihuang is in Weiling, Yan Zhen is the only one who can talk to Mei Changsu in Beijing.

"Ah Zhen, why are you here today?" Although it was cold, Mei Changsu touched the stove and was wearing a fur coat, but he looked pretty good.

Yan Zhen took out the small wooden box and gave it to Mei Changsu: "I'm here to deliver the medicine for brother. It contains the medicine I asked Master to develop the poison of fire and cold. It will be beneficial to brother's health."

"I made you worry. I also have a doctor here, but my body won't return to the way it was before." Mei Changsu smiled self-deprecatingly, and bought Yan Zhen a cup of tea, which was Dian tea from Yunnan.

Yan Zhen took a sip of tea in silence and pursed her lips: "Today. I came to see my brother for another reason. Now that Jingyan is in power, he may have to add two more Wangzhu when he comes back from disaster relief. Xia Jiang and King Yu should be in a hurry. King Yu should have guessed your purpose. Now that they all want Jingyan to fall, what do you think they will do?"

"Xia Jiang also has some people from the Hua clan. Through them, Qin Banruo contacted Xia Jiang and set him up with King Yu to deal with Jingyan." Mei Changsu rubbed his cloak, thinking carefully, "And the emperor and Jingyan are separated." The best weapon for him is the old case of Chi Yan."

"That's right. The power of Xuanjing Division should not be underestimated. Elder brother, apart from Langgan, most of the surviving in Meiling are tens of officers, centurions, or some small soldiers." Of course, Yan Zhen knew that Xia Jiang was impossible. Looking for these people, she frowned, and suddenly thought of a person, she had a plan, "Brother, where is Wei Zheng now?"

"Wei Zheng, he's in Medicine King Valley."

Yaowang Valley happened to be within Jiangbei's sphere of influence.

Yan Zhen frowned, and said something in a low voice, Mei Changsu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "In this way, Xia Jiang will not have to worry about it. Ah Zhen really has a plan."

"Brother, you only need to call yourself sick these days. Leave the rest to me."

When Yan Zhen returned to Prince Jing's mansion, she gave the order to Lin Lang and Lang Gan, and they went to do it happily.

At the end of the year, the Sitian Supervisor reported that there was red light invading Ziwei in the southeast, and the astrology was fading.

Emperor Liang made this decree, saying that the prince had no virtue, and heaven had warned him, so he abolished the prince as King Xian, ordered him to move out of Beijing, and live in Xianzhou.

At the same time, he added two more Xiao Jingyan Wangzhu, making him the Prince of the Seven Beads together with Yuwang.

When this decree was issued by Chao Geming, Xiao Jingyan, who had just returned, accepted the decree in a timely manner, and then went to the inner court to visit his wife and children.

After he hugged his three children, he was dragged into the study by Yan Zhen to discuss matters.

"What's the matter, so mysterious?" Xiao Jingyan looked at Yan Zhen, and Yingrun, who was raised during pregnancy, lost a lot of weight.

"I have to tell you some bad news. Xia Jiang has arrested Wei Zheng." Xiao Jingyan's expression changed drastically when Yan Zhen's words came out, but he felt that something was wrong when he saw that Yan Zhen was still smiling.

"However?"

Yan Zhen raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "However, this Wei Zheng is a fake."

"Fake? Is this still fake?" Xiao Jingyan's deer eyes widened, feeling that he didn't quite understand what Yan Zhen meant.

"It's very simple. Xia Jiang and King Yu joined forces. Naturally, this is to deal with you. But neither mother nor I are easy to deal with. But you still have another weakness, that is the old case of Chi Yan." Yan Zhen Pursing his lips, "In the past, Xia Jiang naturally would not pay attention to these remnants of Chi Yan who would never come to the fore, and you who were suppressed everywhere. But now it is different, you have gained power, Xia Jiang knows that once you are in power, you will never Maybe let him go. Coincidentally, he discovered Wei Zheng again, and his relationship with brother Xiao Shu can be used against you."

"Not only that, Jingyan. Tomorrow when you go to the palace to visit your mother, you can also see a good show, a good show that separates you and Mr. Su." Yan Zhen felt thirsty when she said this, she took a sip of her tea, She looked at Xiao Jingyan who was already in deep thought.

After a while, she heard him asking: "Was the fake Wei Zheng sent by you or Mr. Su?"

"It's true that the Yaowang Valley where Wei Zheng is located is in the border of Jiangbei, so it is natural to send people from Jiangbei. Mr. Su has also contributed a lot." Seeing his silence, Yan Zhen sighed in her heart, she stretched out her hand to hold his hand, "For this reason, I asked Wei Zheng to come to Jinling in the new year. I know that you still want to know the truth in your heart. He has to get over the wind before he can come. Just wait a little longer."

"Ah Zhen." Xiao Jingyan pulled her into his arms, his tone was erratic, "Sometimes, I really find it hard to believe that Xiaoshu just died like this. I want to know the truth, but I'm afraid of knowing the truth."

"Remember, that time, I was pregnant with a child, but you still wanted to go to Beidi to fight and kill. You were extremely dangerous at that time, and I was not by your side. At that time, I told you that life should come back , die of long-term lovesickness." Yan Zhen couldn't bear it, she didn't dare to look into Xiao Jingyan's sad eyes, she paused, "No matter what the ending is, Brother Xiaoshu, he lives in the hearts of many of us. One person remembers him, and he lives forever."

Xiao Jingyan hugged her tightly, hugged her quietly, and asked, "This time, do you need me to do anything?"

"Tomorrow, you just need to go back to the palace angrily. In front of the father, do what you want. Only then will Xia Jiang catch someone."

Xiao Jingyan nodded thoughtfully.

The plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The news that Mei Changsu came out less than half an hour after he went to Prince Jing's mansion made Yu Wang believe that he had already separated Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan.

Xiao Jingyan's performance in the Hall of Martial Arts convinced Xia Jiang that Xiao Jingyan would never escape the trap he set this time.

In fact, when Mei Changsu came to Prince Jing's mansion, he was definitely not standing on the porch trying to persuade Xiao Jingyan, but in the study room, where there was a stove, a brazier, and a lot of good tea for offerings.

"The slippery family in the palace, what does the princess plan to do with it?" Mei Changsu has been recuperating recently, some trivial matters are left to Li Gang and the others to deal with, major matters are under Yan Zhen's control, and the days of recuperating are comfortable.

"Keep it for now, it's still useful." Yan Zhen was very thoughtful, she knew that relying on Wei Zheng alone was not enough to shake Xia Jiang's position in Emperor Liang's heart, "Also, there is one more thing, I hope the prince and Mr. Su Be sure to listen to me."

"Princess, please tell me." Mei Changsu nodded slightly.

"I don't know, Mr. Su, have you ever heard of the medicine 'Lengqing'?" Yan Zhen looked at Mei Changsu with a smile.

Mei Changsu thought for a while, then suddenly realized: "It is said that it is used for women during pregnancy and childbirth. This medicine is harmless to babies, but for pregnant women, the dose is enough, enough to make women die after half a year..."

Mei Changsu stopped suddenly. He remembered that after Yan Yujin was born, Mrs. Yan, who was originally in good health, suddenly fell ill and passed away less than three days later.

Xiao Jingyan frowned when he heard the name, and it took him a cup of tea to understand the relationship between Tang Qing and Yan Zhen.

Who would poison Mrs. Yan to death?

Mrs. Yan was born in an aristocratic family. Her father, Yun Rendong, was also a famous general. Mei Changsu's father, Lin Xie, was also a student of Duke Yun.

To this day, he has a deadly influence in the army.

Mrs. Yan is his only daughter, who has always been loved like a jewel.

Yan's family, where Yan Hou was born, had another empress, and Grand Master Yan was full of peaches and plums. The emperor feared that the two families would harm Mrs. Yan because of their marriage, and this person was Xia Jiang.

Mei Changsu quickly figured out the connection, and he frowned: "What does the princess want?"

"Don't worry, sir. I won't test the medicine myself." Yan Zhen patted Xiao Jingyan and held her hand, "I just want to convince my father that Xia Jiang has stalked me, and I can be a little girl in my mansion." The amount of points in the game was insufficient, and I ate food that was incompatible with it, so I got seriously ill. At that time, my grandfather and grandfather will go to the imperial court to file a complaint. Of course, this will happen after Xiajiang’s defeat.”

Mei Changsu's eyes lit up when he heard the little maid: "Princess, are you going to play tricks?"
