Chapter 418 Don’t you feel sorry for me
Half a month has passed.
The drought in the north is getting worse.
Fortunately, the emperor had already given instructions and allocated a sum of money to arrange for officials to prevent it.
Fearing that the officials sent were disobedient, the emperor arranged an eunuch to accompany him in public, and secretly sent spies to stare at him. It was precisely this that he was so careful that he killed two groups of officials, and the third group was so peaceful. The reason was that the first two groups of officials sent were corrupt and abused the law, and he was not willing to die.
The emperor did not hide his own actions.
A group of officials in the court were so scared that they were trembling again. A knife was hanging on their heads, and the efficiency of officials' work was greatly improved. This allowed the drought to be quickly controlled within a certain range without causing much chaos. It was much better than the chaotic situation in the original work, with countless casualties and injuries.
Du Wan was surprised when she found out.
This is probably due to the fact that the treasury has silver?
The emperor had previously enriched the treasury by raiding his home. Unlike the original treasury, there was money to be dispatched when encountering disasters. It was the plot of Du Wan's little butterfly fanned out.
She seemed to have done nothing, but the people of the Great Qin State benefited from it.
All the above happened on the surface, and something interesting happened behind the scenes.
This is an interesting thing, which is to Du Wan.
Du Wan saw the mansion of Dingbei Hou. It is said that the son of Dingbei Hou’s missing brother returned, which made Dingbei Hou ecstatic and immediately handed the memorial to the emperor for the title of crown prince.
The emperor temporarily suppressed the memorial and did not approve it.
Even if the emperor has not yet been approved, he still won a good reputation for Beihou.
Du Wan pretended to behave herself near Dingbei Hou Mansion and listened to gossip, and she could indeed hear the reason.
That is, the second master of Yanmen, whose real name Xie Hong was seriously injured and returned. He had killed Qiao Qingzhu and gathered the forces of Yanmen. However, there was an unexpected situation in the world. There was an accident in the middle of the plan. Not only did Qiao Qingzhu not die, Pei Hao also made a fuss.
Xie Hong's attempt to seize Yanmen failed.
This failure is secondarily due to backlash, and the reputation of ungratefulness is destined to be brought back.
Xie Zhang's men went to pick up Xie Hong and rescued the man.
After discussion, Xie Hong changed his identity and claimed to the public that Xie Hong had found it. However, there was still some scheming behind the scenes of this matter...
"Pei Shizi, do you know what the purpose of the Xie family does this?" Du Wan went to find Pei Hao excitedly as she heard the news. She rubbed her hands while saying that, her eyes were still bright, and she looked like someone was asking quickly.
Pei Hao coughed and smiled, "What's the purpose?"
"Please be appointed as the prince and run for the prince consort, hehe." Du Wan threw down a big thunder.
Pei Hao was surprised for a moment, but not surprised, "So that's it."
Du Wan asked strangely: "Don't you seem to be surprised?"
"Xie Zhang is the successor carefully trained by Dingbei Hou, and it is impossible for him to run for the prince-consort. Dingbei Hou could not bear his old face and let his only son participate." When Pei Hao said this, he looked at Du Wan magically. The little girl suddenly encouraged the emperor to recruit the prince-consort, which caught the powerful and nobles in the capital off guard.
Think about it, it's quite interesting.
Du Wan touched her chin, "Why can't Xie Zhang participate?"
"Well, who is willing to be the best child in the family to be a son-in-law, even if he is the emperor's son-in-law, he will not be willing to do so."
"Some young men were fighting to please Qin Yuyu before?"
"Look at the time the imperial list was released, how many of the young men had come up before? What they were happy to marry a princess, rather than being recruited as a princess. But the outstanding children in the clan would arrange one." Pei Hao's meaning was very clear. The most outstanding children of the capital would not run for the princess.
Du Wan smiled, "That's what I said..."
Xie Zhang is the official partner of Qin Yuyu, and it is not so easy to dismantle the CP. The male and female protagonists are usually tortuous and bizarre and go through hardships. Du Wan firmly believes in this.
It would be strange if Qin Yuyu was good at making things happen.
The two of them chatted and talked to Du Qian.
Pei Hao is very interested in his brother-in-law's marriage, "Are you ready to come to propose marriage?"
"Not yet." Du Wan thought that Du Qian had not thrown away the things Qin Jiu gave, and even said that she would send some gifts back. "When they become familiar with each other, it should be almost done."
"That's the show?"
"My elder brother doesn't seem to be repulsive."
"Well, my brother is a steady man. If he doesn't reject him, he should have ideas. Wanwan, should we think of a way to push him, and he will be slow and slow..." Pei Hao thought of several ways to make the two of them quickly get together, add medicine, fall into the water, and stay alone in the room?
Before making a decision every time, Pei Hao held back, for fear of backfiring.
Du Wan looked at him sideways, "Don't add to it. Feelings require a process of acceptance. Just watch outsiders and let it go."
"I'm just worried about my elder brother."
"Tao, you don't know what you think about as the princess."
"It's good that you know, don't you feel sorry for me?"
"Not worry! You deserve it."
"..." Pei Hao was immediately happy when he saw the little girl cursing. He hugged her and refused to let go for a while. He also kept rubbing his head against her face, "Is that so? I deserve it? Swear again, scold again..."
"Gee." The little girl was giggled.
Next, the two of them were interested in watching Du Qian and Qin Jiu in the dark, paying attention to their progress at all times.
There is Du Wan, a cheater. It is really not too simple to know whether the two of them meet. Of course, Du Wan still follows Du Qian’s promise and will not use her ability to eavesdrop on her family’s privacy. However, Qin Jiu has not gotten married and has not been engaged yet, so she is not considered a family for the time being.
Du Wan secretly found out her whereabouts and was confident.
When she got the latest news, she hurried to the Duke's Mansion to share with Pei Hao, "No! No! The latest gossip, Qin Jiu asked my elder brother to visit the lake during the Zhongyuan Festival and put on lanterns."
"Zhongyuan Festival? It's been a few days."
"It's been a few days, hehe."
"I'll pick you up and follow them secretly..."
Pei Hao pretended to be recuperating and lived in vain, but did not go to the yamen to take the time.
Therefore, I spent all day with the little girl, and my smile grew more and more.
The Duke of Zhenguo, who was about to find his son, happened to hear something the two of them discussed privately, and his face was hard to describe.
My son used recuperation as an excuse and was not doing his job properly.
However, when he saw the relaxation and vitality between his son's eyebrows and eyes, and when he thought that Southwest almost lost his son, the Duke of Zhen suddenly became enlightened.
At present, the power of the Duke's Mansion is sufficient and will marry the Princess Mansion. If the son is obsessed with power, it is not a good thing. The Duke's Mansion may be like cooking oil in fire, which will make the superiors afraid. Moreover, Mu Si'an is climbing up, and even if they do not express their opinions, outsiders will refer him to the power of the Duke's Mansion.
His son doesn't have to work hard anymore...
