"Sisi confessed this matter to the empress, not to blame the emperor for sending the parrot, but to remind the emperor to be careful and not to be instigated by someone with intentions."
Li Sixu said obediently: "Someone wants Linglongju and Linhua Palace to turn against each other, but she cannot do what she wants. Sisi wants to support each other with the imperial brother, and will treat Wei'er as a biological brother."
Concubine Xian was somewhat moved after hearing what Li Sixu said.
The coquettish fox in the Purple Orchid Palace is best at sowing dissension. Such a strategy kills two birds with one stone. Even if he is lucky enough to escape, because the parrot was found by her prince, someone else will definitely be suspicious of Linhua Palace.
But the little princess came with a parrot to make it clear, because she believed that she would not harm her!
She also said that she and Xuan'er should support each other. Concubine Xian only felt that her efforts in making those delicacies for her were not in vain.
The little girl in front of me really understands justice!
She said warmly: "Your imperial brother has an awkward temper. He knows that he has been tricked by others and almost harmed you and Yu Jieyu. This is because he feels guilty, and he can't keep his face and bow his head to admit his mistake, so he has to find a place to hide."
"You are a good boy, don't argue with that bastard."
Concubine Xian held her little hand with great affection and told her about the situation in the court in detail: "The person who sent the message to Xuan'er was actually the young master of the Zhang family. This surprised me. Mr. Song was demoted to the post of Kaifu. After Yi Tong's three divisions, the ones your father relies on the most are Yuan Qianzhen and Zhang Jiazhen, one has been newly promoted to be the Minister of Huangmen, and the other has been promoted to be the Minister of Zhongshu."
Recently, she has been traveling between Taiyuan Hospital and Shangyang Palace. Li Sixu has not been to Xingqing Palace for several days, and she is not aware that the situation in the DPRK and China has changed.
She asked Concubine Xian: "Your Majesty, did you just say that Mr. Song was demoted?"
"Song Jing was eager for success when it came to the overflow of bad money and used the wrong method, which caused commerce to come to a standstill and prices to skyrocket. At that time, he dismissed Xiao Yinzhi, the supervisory censor, and then your father demoted Song Jing to the position of official of the Kaifu. Sansi.”
Concubine Xian analyzed: "Zhang Jiazhen succeeded Mr. Song as the Vice Minister of Zhongshu. The Zhang family is now in great glory. This matter has no basis and is just a chat among classmates. It was Xuan'er who asked him to help find the parrot. Originally It’s really hard for the palace to deal with the Zhang family.”
Li Sixu agreed: "I can't let my father know about the parrot. Even if he knew that Sisi was being plotted against and that the parrot raised in Linglong Residence said such unlucky words, my father would not be disappointed with Sisi and my mother. The concubine has a grudge."
"That's right. This matter needs to be considered in the long run!"
A ruthless light flashed across Xian Fei's eyes: "The palace must calculate this account slowly. If it is really used by someone with ulterior motives, if Xuan'er's classmates help the emperor to murder the prince, then the Zhang family will No one can escape with that naughty fox from Qingfeng Palace..."
Li Sixu came out of the Linhua Palace and saw a little palace maid poking her head to watch her Emperor Wei's brother playing with the parrot. Seeing her appear, the little palace maid hurriedly turned around the verandah and disappeared into the flowers, disappearing from sight.
The fish will bite the bait sooner or later, right?
Li Sixu's lips curled up into a sneer, and she walked towards the twelfth prince who was playing with a parrot on the veranda.
"What is Wei'er talking to the little parrot?"
"If it's sick, drink the medicine."
Prince Wei asked innocently: "Wei'er was sick. He took the medicine prescribed by the emperor's sister and recovered quickly. Can the little parrot get better if he takes the medicine obediently?"
Li Sixu: "..."
Wei'er didn't know that only by keeping the parrot silent could it survive, and Linglongju and Linhua Palace would not suffer unreasonable disasters!
The little man's eyes were as bright as black grapes, and the light refracted in his pupils was so clean and translucent. After all, Li Sixu didn't want to ruin this beauty, so she could only tell a white lie and nodded to him.
She knelt down and rubbed Tuanzi's little head: "Sister Huang, let's play with Wei'er!"
"OK!"
Prince Wei said in a soft voice, "Wei'er likes the emperor's sister the most."
Li Sixu temporarily put aside the affairs of Imperial Hospital and Shangyang Palace and accompanied Prince Wei in Linhua Palace, causing an uproar in the court.
In the middle of the political affairs in the court, Yao Chong came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
"Regarding the drought in Guanzhong, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development should allocate enough money to purchase grain in counties close to the drought, so that the grain can be transported to the disaster area as soon as possible and avoid population dispersion in the Guanzhong area."
"I think it's inappropriate!"
Zhang Jiazhen stepped forward: "Due to the drought in Guanzhong, the price of food in surrounding counties has skyrocketed. If we allocate silver to purchase from nearby counties, it will be a huge expense. I believe that disaster relief in Guanzhong cannot be accomplished overnight."
Yao Chong's health has been deteriorating since he suffered from malaria last time. The Yao family did not have a house in Beijing, and he had to travel back and forth to go to court, so Xuanzong allowed him to go to court once every five days.
However, the drought in Guanzhong was not resolved, so Yao Chong dragged his old body to court.
Speaking of excitement, he coughed a few times: "Transporting food from abundant areas to Guanzhong may be delayed on the way. The people will not be able to get food supplements. In order to survive, they can only disperse to places with water sources. The weak, sick and disabled will drag their families with them." Anyone who talks will lose his life on the road."
"Your Majesty, in the past dynasties there have been droughts, and countless people have starved to death all over the land. I have been an official in the dynasty for one day, and I can't bear to see this tragic situation in the peaceful and prosperous times."
Yao Chong said excitedly: "It is not appropriate to be hesitant about disaster relief. If I think it is time to make a decision, I will make a decision."
"Master Yao loves the people like his own son, I am very pleased with him!"
Xuanzong looked around and said, "As for the drought relief in Guanzhong, do you have any good ideas?"
Yuan Qianyao came out: "I believe that merchants are rich, and the imperial court should collect donations from merchants. Merchants and people can help alleviate some of the pressure on the treasury."
"I think it's inappropriate!"
The prince reported: "Due to the improper handling of the previous flooding of bad money, many shops in the market have been closed, prices have risen, and the people have complained. I think that if I follow the advice of Lord Yuan and raise funds from merchants, it will undoubtedly make things worse."
After all, it’s all about silver!
Yao Chong hit the nail on the head and purchased grain from counties near the disaster to provide disaster relief, which could indeed solve the drought in Guandong as quickly as possible and allow the people to recuperate.
But in this case, most of the national treasury will be emptied.
The Tang Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, so it does not mean that everything will be fine just by dealing with this drought.
Floods in the south of the Yangtze River, cold waves in the north, if the national treasury is empty, what will be the consequences?
"Father, I have something to report!"
The ministers of the court and the central government discussed and discussed without any results. The third prince suddenly came out and said: "Wang Yuanbao, a wealthy businessman in the capital, has a good plan for disaster relief."
Having seen the crystal clear glass cup last night, he told Xiao Shi that he wanted Wang Ziqing to send a message and meet Wang Yuanbao.
Xuanzong thought that Xiao Shi knew how to choose the right time!
Xuanzong Longyan was delighted: "It is said that Wang Yuanbao is going to the palace!"
