Qingluo Jinghe

Chapter 121 Emperor Li Hesitant

Seeing that the hot dog days of the year are not far away, and there is no good news from Hubei's south, Li Jing can't help but feel anxious.

"Drink some tea, there is no need to rush anything." Empress Ye Jiafu brewed a cup of jasmine tea and handed it to Li Jing's desk, "I will take care of Lan'er's affairs next year and the crown ceremony, so don't be distracted. Here it is."

"Jiafu..." Li Jing read a sentence, but she didn't speak for a long time, and Ye Jiafu was not annoyed, she sat aside, waiting for Li Jing's next words.

"I'm relieved that Lan'er has you taking care of it, but I just see Qiu coming."

"There is no good news about the floods in E'nan County here. How can I not worry?"

Asking to be cut after autumn is in accordance with the time of the day, and the world will be cured after the end of summer, so all dynasties have the rule of asking to be cut after autumn.Furthermore, it is also to avoid indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

Ye Jiafu understood what Li Jing meant, but the officialdom was dangerous, and her cousin didn't know how to be careful at every step. When something went wrong, it was inappropriate for the king of a country to worry about his status.

"If the law is not clear, there is no way to rule the world. Since there is no evidence to wash away the charges, we will act according to the law." After taking a sip of tea, Ye Jiafu stood up from her chair, "Bringing the law for personal gain is a taboo in governing the country. If you think about me, you will lose the hearts of the people."

Li Jing nodded, but it is not known how much he listened to...

"Lan'er's coronation ceremony should be bigger. Although it doesn't need to be extravagant, so as not to waste people's money, it should also let the world know the importance of Princess Taiyuan to my family."

Knowing that his wife, as the mother of a country, put Da Li first, how could he completely throw away that blood and family relationship in his heart?Li Jing then diverted the conversation away.

"That's natural. Lan'er is your and my first child. He has suffered so much since he was a child. No matter who has been treated badly, it is impossible to treat Lan'er badly now."

In a mother's heart, Da Li is the first, Li Lan is the second, and Li Jing and Li Chong have to count backward.

"Okay, if you're missing something, just go get it from my private treasury."

"The keys to your private treasury are all with me. If Lan'er needed anything for the coronation ceremony, I would have gone to get it long ago. Wait for the emperor who has everything you need every day to remember?"

The husband and wife chatted for a few words, most of the sorrow on Li Jing's face faded away, she took a sip of her tea, and said seriously again: "Jiafu, I always feel that there is something wrong with the flood in southern Hubei."

"Why?"

Hearing what Li Jing said, Queen Ye Jiafu, who had just brought the teacup to her lips, put the teacup back on the table.

"It's not about anything else..."

"Do you still remember that day when I heard you say that the national teacher watched the sky and predicted that there would be chaos in Dali?"

Ye Jiafu nodded.

"It doesn't take long for the official road from Hubei to Jingzhao. This kind of critical letter will come to Jingzhao quickly, and local officials will deal with it based on experience. It will not develop to such a field."

"So the flood in southern Hubei has developed into such a situation, it must be due to the delay in local reporting." Li Jing then frowned, "The flood is a natural disaster, and it is a great achievement to report it in time. There must be another reason for the local delay."

In connection with what Yueying said before, Ye Jiafu also understood what Li Jing meant, "The national teacher said that you can turn adversity into good fortune, so you don't have to worry about it. Act in the right way and educate the people. You will have nothing to do if you are a king. will be punished."

"Furthermore, when the virtuous king comes back in a few days, you can also ask him if he has discovered anything along the way. Since the virtuous king usually wanders around with nothing to do, it is better to use this opportunity to investigate secretly."

"Ma'am is right."

After a long while of silence, Li Jing began to review the notes.

"Jia Fu, the girl from the Bai family will come to the palace to study with Lan'er tomorrow, you go and call Lan'er to discuss together."

"The girl from the Bai family is no better than Luo'er and Lan'er. She should be regarded as a distinguished guest. You must prepare well."
