Last year, there was a snowstorm in the north. Feng Xi and Qi Xiao were ordered to lead Li Ge Lao, Liu Wanshi and other pure ministers to provide disaster relief.
However, Emperor Shengde became seriously ill more than a month ago, and the two of them had to return to Beijing early, entrusting all disaster relief matters in the North to Li Ge and the other two.
However, with the solid foundation laid by Feng Xi before leaving, and the help of the weather when the snow turned into spring at the end of winter, Li Gelao and others finally completed the disaster relief mission ahead of schedule.
"Princess, Prince Consort, I am fortunate to have fulfilled my duty. I have arranged all the people in the Northland properly before leaving, and entrusted several acting prefects who were temporarily staying in the Northland to take care of them. I believe that after the early spring, the Emperor will be able to transfer some people from the capital. Good seedlings, let the people in the North live a stable life again."
It was a good day in spring. As soon as Mr. Li Ge and other officials who went to Beijing returned to Beijing, they came to Feng Xi to report there.
In response to this, Feng Xi, who was originally lying on a lounge chair and basking in the sun, but now could only sit in the hall politely, smiled and said - well done, don't do it next time.
However, Qi Xiao was very satisfied with what Li Gelao and others had done. At that time, he gave the sneaky dog Tianxi a wink, and Tianxi immediately sent people out to promote the matter.
Just kidding, who are the people following their princess to the North to provide disaster relief this time?
That was a truly pure sect in the Jokhang Dynasty. Any one of them would have an excellent reputation and be convinced and praised by the people.
But even upright people like them came to the Princess Protector's Mansion as soon as they returned to Beijing!
What does this mean?
It shows that their princess is really talented, beautiful, upright, and loves the people like a child!
The Legend of the Academy that the prince-in-law had asked him to find someone to write that day was good. He drew inferences from one example and felt that the disaster relief work in the North could also be written well!
While Tian Xi was making plans in his mind, Qi Xiao, after learning more about the situation in the North, chatted with Li Gelao and others about the recent events in Beijing.
"The world is declining, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the princess is just infected with the disease. How can the prince and the fourth prince help others to seize the princess's private property? It is simply unreasonable!"
"This Shanngling Academy is our No. 1 Academy in Jokhang. How dare the Chu family offer wine sacrifices and cover the sky with one hand? How could that kid with such a talent suffer such a vicious attack?"
"Fortunately, the emperor is fine, and fortunately the princess is fine too, otherwise I would have waited..."
…
Feng Xi sat next to Qi Xiao, watching him peel a pomegranate for her, while listening to Mr. Li Ge and others beating their chests and lamenting the darkness of the Jokhang court.
Just eat melon.
Although she seems to be among these melons, this does not prevent her from enjoying them.
But for some reason, as she ate, she found that Mr. Li Ge and others looked at her with brighter and brighter eyes, like hungry wolves who had finally found food in the winter.
Just, that green light...
Feng Xi: "?"
"What should I do, Qi Xiao, I suddenly have an ominous premonition..."
Watching Mr. Li Ge and others board the carriage with high spirits, they seemed to be going back to recharge their batteries and be ready for a tough battle at any time...
Feng Xi was confused but didn't want to use her brain, so she decided to borrow Qi Xiao's brain.
In response, Qi Xiao, who was very smart and very smart, rubbed her head and said in a very skillful manner:
"How could that be? This must be your misunderstanding. Let's go back and eat more delicious food and get some sleep."
Feng Xi blinked.
Fine.
Qi Xiao didn't say it was okay, but when she did, she felt a little sleepy.
At the court meeting the next day, Emperor Shengde, who claimed to have been ill for many days and had not been in court for many days, took advantage of the disaster relief team to return to Beijing and finally appeared in front of all the courtiers with a decent expression.
Wearing a dragon robe and a solemn crown, although his face is still a little pale, it is enough to scare all those in the court who have been doing evil for a long time and want to change the court.
Today, the sick and weak person in the court is not only Emperor Shengde, but also his good son-in-law who works hard day and night.
I have to say that when Emperor Sheng De was sitting on the dragon chair and saw Qi Xiao standing below with a pale face, he felt a little guilty.
In fact, Qi Xiao was not seriously ill, he could even recover if he thought about it...
However, the crimson official robe was too eye-catching, and the white color of his lips made him look pale.
So Qi Xiao looked at the guilty look in his father-in-law's eyes, thought about it carefully, and secretly thought that he would have to wear this outfit to show off in front of Little Phoenix when he goes back later.
There's nothing I can do about it, the sweetness of pretending to be pitiful is too much.
While a certain prince-in-law was distracted, Zhao Xi and Eunuch Zhao, who was beside the dragon throne, had already launched an imperial edict to implement the rewards awarded by Emperor Sheng De to the disaster relief team in the North.
Among them, Mr. Li Minsheng had a good way of providing disaster relief. He was directly promoted from his old position in the cabinet that had not been moved for many years to the position of second assistant in the cabinet. The official position was only under the chief assistant Fangqian.
The whole court was in an uproar for a while, some were happy, some were sad, but most of them were confused and sneered.
Isn't Mr. Li Ge's merits enough to be promoted to the rank of Second Assistant to the Cabinet?
No, in fact, Mr. Li Ge has participated in dozens of disaster reliefs since he entered the DPRK. There were several dangerous floods and epidemics, and he almost died for the country.
In terms of merit, he has it, and in terms of virtue, he has enough.
However, the position of the second assistant has been vacant for many years. How could it be possible if there is no way to do it?
Obviously, this is the result of many years of fighting between the prince's line and the fourth prince's line.
Doesn't Emperor Shengde know what the two parties are thinking?
Know.
But he still pushed Mr. Li Ge, a pure minister with no family to care for him, forward.
Coupled with Emperor Shengde's current relationship with the protector princess Feng Xi and the consort Qi Xiao, it is difficult not to think that the emperor is paving the way for his own daughter.
After all, a talent like Mr. Li Ge seems to be enough to support a team.
But is this a blessing?
not necessarily.
Is it a disaster?
It’s hard to say.
In short, when everyone's eyes were focused on Mr. Li Ge, wanting to see whether he was wise enough to protect himself and retreat bravely from the rapids, or whether he was heading towards the tiger mountain knowing that there were tigers in the mountains, the old man actually knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Your Majesty Li Minsheng, I accept the order and thank you!"
When Li Cifu stepped aside and the ministers thought there would be no more surprises, Zhao Xi actually sang the name of Liu Wanshi, the Minister of Industry.
It was not until this moment that the Fang family and the Chu family remembered that the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who was born in a noble family, was now very old, and because he was frail and sick, he had written to Emperor Shengde several times a year ago to complain about his old age, but Emperor Shengde refused to allow it.
But today, in front of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, Emperor Shengde made the decision.
The result was that the old minister successfully resigned, and the new minister Liu Wanshi took office directly, catching everyone by surprise.
However, people's real achievements are there, and even if you don't accept it, you have to hold it in.
I thought this was the most annoying thing for everyone, but when Emperor Sheng De made the decision and talked about the Spring Festival at the beginning of the next month, when he wanted to appoint the examiner on the spot, the new officials Li Cifu and Liu Shangshu actually popped up again. .
Emperor Shengde immediately looked at Qi Xiao and knew he was right!
At the same time, Feng Xi, who was sleeping soundly in bed, had no idea what she would experience in the future with the leadership of her good husband, the support of her good father, and the efforts of her good ministers...
