Feng Xing

It was already the end of August, and the sky was still so hot, especially this year it was extremely abnormal.

In the past, in the summer of the Royal Palace, the ice had to be removed after half of July, but this time this year the heat was not reduced, as if it were still June.

In the winter last year, the ice stored in the Zhuangzi in Beijing suburbs had been used up long ago, and Feng Sheng could only order people to buy it now.They are buying, and the price is expensive. Fortunately, Fengsheng is not bad now, but he doesn't care about this.

I’m suffering from ordinary people who can’t afford ice to cool down because the weather is too hot. The number of people suffering heat stroke in Beijing and Central China has skyrocketed this year, and a few have died of heat, but most of the heat deaths are caused by diseases. Or a beggar, but it didn't attract people's attention. At most, it was a sigh or two, and by the way, he cursed again, "God, why don't it rain?"

The huge iceberg is placed in a three-legged gilt ice kettle, which quietly exudes cool air, adding a lot of coolness to the room.

On the Kang, Feng Sheng was wearing a blue-green thin silk cardigan summer gown, and a moon-white pleated skirt was tied around her waist. The weather was too hot to dress thinly. She leaned on the pillow and looked at the book with her hands curled up. Tremella lotus seed soup chilled.

Her physique is cold and hot, and she hasn't changed it, but her body has been rehabilitated in recent years, and she is not as susceptible to illness as in the past, so she is brave enough to use ice.

Taozhi stood on the side fanning her, and the two spoke from time to time.As he was saying, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Feng Sheng listened, immediately put down the account book in his hand, and looked at the doffed hood.

King Wei lifted the bead curtain and came in.

He was wearing an official robe, as if he had just returned from outside.The bead curtain fell with his entry, making a crisp sound of impact, lining the room with a cool, disturbing mood.

Seeing that his collar was sweaty, Feng Sheng quickly stepped down from Kang to meet him.At the same time, I did not forget to wink at Taozhi. Taozhi was also conscious, so he let go of the fan and called out.

Not long after, a group of maids came in, holding washbasins and clothes to be changed.Putting down the things, these maidservants retreated, and Taozhi also retreated, leaving Feng Sheng to serve King Wei to wash and change clothes.

Said to wash and change clothes is actually to wipe sweat and wipe your body, then change your clothes.

When King Wei changed into a thin knit summer shirt and came to sit on the kang, Dewang led the two eunuchs in, holding a copper basin in his hand, and served King Wei's faded boots. I changed my shoes and changed my shoes.

The next man took the things lightly and put them away, and served herbal tea again. When King Wei was drinking tea, Feng Sheng fanned him on the side, trying to keep him cool for a while.

It’s not that Feng Sheng served attentively, but she knew what the weather was like outside now. She came back at noon and the autumn tigers were flourishing, especially when King Wei came back from the palace. The forbidden city’s outer court had no trees, just If you walk out of the palace with the sun in this way, you can't stand it if you don't have a good concentration.

"You too, why did you come back at this time, or when you avoid it."

Don't look at the fact that King Wei is so hot, his face is still calm, he put down the tea pot and said: "It's okay in the palace, it's about the same distance to go back to the 5th Ganxi, and this afternoon, this king does not plan to go to the household department."

Feng Sheng pondered in his heart and smiled.

Although Huifu was a little further away, there was a carriage out of the palace gate. King Wei was in Qianqing Palace, and staying at Ganxi 5th Institute for a short stay was exactly the same distance as Huifu. He always walked against the sun and might as well come back.However, listening to him said that he wouldn't go to the household department in the afternoon, but it surprised Feng Sheng.

"What's the matter?" she asked with raised eyebrows.

Wang Wei frowned, saying, "This king cannot avoid this trip."

It was indeed impossible to avoid it. As early as last month, there were signs, Feng Sheng and Wang Wei knew it well. This was a stumbling block for King Wei.

But even if you understand, you can’t refuse.

Since King Wei entered the DPRK in September last year, he has been doing nothing in the household department. It is not that he does not want to do anything, but there is really nothing to let him do.Fortunately, at the beginning of each prince's entry into the dynasty, they sat on the cold bench like this.

Of course, this is to say in a good way, saying that the unpleasant point is to wait for opportunities, and find opportunities to do something to prove to the courtiers that they are not eating in vain, so as to help establish prestige and win courtiers.

And this'find a chance' can be to wait for the rabbit, or to find something to do, everyone is watching the movement of King Wei, but no one expected that King Wei's luck would be so bad that he encountered a rare sight. drought.

Therefore, there are signs of things going on in Beijing. People in Jingzhong who watched the jokes of King Wei did not tell.

As for why there is a rare drought?

In fact, there was a drought disaster in Shanxi as early as last year. At that time, more than 30 counties and counties in a province were all affected by the drought. The court sent a special mission to relief the disaster and exempted it from tax for three years. Unfortunately, the situation It has been bad. There have been a few rains this year. It is estimated that this year it is estimated that there will be no results. The supervisory history of Shanxi Road has been linked to several folds. Local officials have also repeatedly asked for help from Beijing. The matter has been discussed several times, the charter has been drawn up, and now there is a lack of personal responsibility for disaster relief.

There are several types of disaster relief missions. If the disaster is not serious, that is, going through the scenes, it is nothing more than a deterrent effect, so that local officials will not be greedy and indiscriminate, and the people's life-saving silver grains will also be greedy.This situation is the best, with political achievements and errands done, and An An steady return to Beijing with credit, with all his face.

However, if you encounter a severe disaster, it is not only a relief. In short, it is very complicated. If you encounter difficulties in the court, you can’t get the relief food. The difficulty of this errand can be imagined. Even one is not handled properly. It is easy to provoke the civil unrest. At that time, all the black pots will be carried on the disaster relief mission, who will let him take charge of the disaster relief.

Therefore, for the prince who wants to be in the limelight, disaster relief is a good thing, and it is not a good thing. This time, it is not a good thing for King Wei.

Over the past few years, there have been disasters in various parts of the world. The court has been giving relief, giving grain and exempting taxes. Last year’s drought was not only a province in Shanxi, but also several provinces such as Henan, Shaanxi and Shandong.The imperial court finally saved some surplus food due to the reform of the salt administration. Nowadays it is squandered and the border war is in an emergency. There is no shortage of silver everywhere, and there is no shortage of silver there. After this errand, anyone has to be empty-handed.

It was precisely at this time that the wind of proposing Wei Wei’s mission for disaster relief was growing louder, and now everyone is watching, even if he understands that this task is difficult, Wang Wei can’t hide from it.

Feng Sheng listened to the words of King Wei, Liu Mei frowned, and did not leave for a long time.

Everyone knows how difficult this is. This is the first major level that Wei Wang encountered since he entered the dynasty. Even though Feng Sheng knew long ago that the end of the crowd is high, the fire would be high. Such a difficult situation.

But they can only face it.

"It's not difficult to call large households to donate locally, I am afraid that some people will deliberately give you a trip." Even if Feng Sheng, who usually seldom walks outside, knows that the situation in Shanxi is complicated, and there are people from various factions. If these people join together to trip the King Wei, the situation of King Wei will be extremely bad.

If not, this is obvious, otherwise those people will not co-operate behind the scenes and encourage the king to come forward.For those people, what the disaster victims are, even if they lose all the hungry people in the province, it is not important to completely defeat their opponents.

"The father and emperor don't care anymore. Is this a chess piece with the people's livelihood?"

Feng Sheng said more and more anger, but instead, King Wei smiled bitterly.

He knew that he was afraid that someone might do something bad, so instead of escaping the difficulties this time, he kept avoiding it.It's a pity that this thing can't be avoided at all, but he implied that Emperor Jianping, if someone else was sent this time, it might be difficult, but it wouldn't fail, but if it was replaced by him, it would be more difficult than many times, and it was taking people Kidding.

It's a pity that even the Emperor Jianping can't turn the tide under the'whole of hope'.

"It's already the case. Instead of forcing people to take over errands, I'm willing to ask for help."

It’s also a real delay in Shanxi. After two years of disaster, this year’s disaster has not yielded any food. The local people can’t send relief food anymore. event.

"It can only be like this." Since I can't hide it, I can only think about how to solve this dilemma.

The next day, King Wei took the initiative to ask Emperor Jianping.

Emperor Jianping was silent for a long while, his face was complicated, and he agreed.

After the news came out, without mentioning it, Xianfu Palace and the Wei Palace were both worried.

However, he was worried that he could not eat as a meal. King Wei was busy leaving Beijing. The King Wei’s house was also spinning around. Several staff members were busy with the regulations. Feng Sheng was on the sidelines.

She wanted to go with King Wei, but she could help him a little. Unfortunately, Brother Ge was under one year old, and Brother Ne also needed her care. She could only be trapped in Beijing.

Thinking about the situation that King Wei might face after he went to Shanxi, Feng Sheng went to the academy and selected more than ten people from the'Liaoguan' who were comfortable and appropriate as helpers.

The word'Liao' is the same as'Liu', meaning Taishi Liao during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, which is also the first official secretariat in history.In fact, the master was originally used as the secretary of the curtain master. For example, the three rooms of the inner house and the secretary of public affairs have the nature of a secretary, but only serve the court and the emperor.

Since the opening of the Laoguan, the people who have come here like the crucian carp, some students of our school feel that there is no progress in the imperial examination, and they want to find another way out, but more of them are the masters of the gangs, who want to plate a layer of gold , Or better yet.

Nowadays, no one knows that there are many officials in the monastery of Jinjiang Academy. Although many of them are miscellaneous officials, they can also be officials. The officials and the people are separated by thousands of gullies. Once they can enter, as long as Stay through it and the day will be just around the corner.

Feng Sheng and Wang Wei belong to the near water platform, and they usually do some good deeds to attract people's hearts. As for the students with outstanding talents in the museum, they naturally understand it.Moreover, this is an opportunity for the middle school students. The situation is difficult. Once you make a contribution, you can imagine the credit. If you can really use it for the king of Wei, you will not have to worry about the future.

Therefore, Feng Sheng ordered people to reveal the wind in the museum and wanted to find some people who accompanied the king of Wei to take out the disaster this time.The news was hidden under the countertop, and the object of the disclosure was naturally the person Feng Feng was interested in. As expected, she received a lot of personal recommendations from the private news.

Feng Sheng picked another one, and after considering everything in place, he chose only twelve people.

These people are about middle-aged and have a lot of experience, and several people have gone to Shanxi with the host family.The so-called mandarins are as smooth as oil. The master should deal with the parents’ officials as the master, and the masters must be able to handle the tasks for the masters. They will be smart and smooth. Helping the King of Wei to do things, I think I can be more powerful.

Feng Sheng also thought about it, saying that it was King Wei's purpose of disaster relief. In fact, it was impossible for him to go alone. The court will definitely send him helpers.

Not to mention whether these people can use it with peace of mind. If people don't go well, it will delay many things.Once in Shanxi, he was struggling with God, and he was naturally not neglected, so this time Feng Sheng also spent a lot of energy.

However, her strength was not in vain. In fact, after going to Shanxi, these people did a lot of things for King Wei, saying that it is not an exaggeration to make great contributions. Of course, this is something to say.

Time was running fast, and after everything was ready, King Wei said goodbye to his wife and children and hurried out of Beijing.
