When I am connected with the prince of the same life

Chapter 271 Taiping
There are constant disputes in the court, and there are increasing opposition to the implementation of the reform.But Lin Heng was determined to reform.He even stopped Li Lan from reading the papers about opposing the political reform, without even looking at them.

Cheng Muqing, who was in the harem, knew a little bit about what happened in the court.

Jinxi often asks around, and tells her when she comes back.

His Majesty was so speechless by a certain lord, he returned to the study and smashed the table angrily.The lack of people in any yamen caused the slow progress of the case and aroused public protests.The Golden Eagle Guard, who went to the states, still couldn't suppress the local snakes, and the situation was not optimistic.As for Liao Xian's side, there was no news at all, which was worrying.

But these things, Lin Heng never told her face to face.

Cheng Muqing knew that he didn't want him to worry.But because of this, she felt even more sad.

It was she who encouraged him to carry on.

The process is so exhausting, I just hope the result is good.

Time flies and another half a year has passed. In this half a year, Lin Heng has to face the advice of various courtiers every day. He is so annoying that he almost wants to say that he is sick and not go to court.But in the end, Cheng Muqing stopped him and advised him not to be lazy.

Lin Heng still listened to her after all, and never missed every morning court.

And the matter of the reform finally got a turning point in the scorching heat of August.

Liao Xian returned with a smile on his face, indicating that the reform was finally going on normally.He came back with Jin Yingwei and some officials who were sent there at that time.

They stood in the middle of the hall wearing official uniforms, their faces were all dark.

"Report to Your Majesty, the ministers are fortunate enough not to disgrace their orders." Liao Xian cupped his hands, "Now that the Dajin fields have been cleared, the division has been carried out by county magistrates."

It means that the land has been measured, and the surplus has been distributed to the landless people. Everything is going well.

Later, Cheng Muqing heard that Lin Heng had rewarded a lot of Golden Eagle jewellery, pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Liao Xian and others.It can be said that they were promoted to nobles for a while.

And the opposition from the court has gradually diminished after the successful implementation of the reform.

……

The heat is so hot that there has been no rain in the capital for three months.

Zhao Duofu was dressed in short brown with holes, and his dark face showed no expression.He used to be a general, but because he went out with the prince a year ago, the escort was unfavorable, which caused the prince to have an accident.And he himself was also accused of treason, the murderer who indirectly caused the death of the prince.

He should have been regarded as a guilty minister and executed some day.But because of the empress dowager's birth, the world pardoned him, so he was able to keep this life.

After he was released from prison, he was also a little dazed and thought of committing suicide.But he is not reconciled, he is clearly not Qi Guo's secret agent!

"It's so hot these days." The handyman at the side put down his sack and touched his sweat, "Old Zhao, aren't you hot?"

"Hot." Zhao Duofu only said one word.

"Then you can still carry this grain." The handyman looked admiring, "Your physique is really good."

In order to survive, the high-spirited general in those days also had to work as a coolie to make a living.

His eyes were a little dim, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"By the way, have you heard?" The handyman suddenly threw his arm at him, "The emperor is going to Chonghua Mountain to pray for rain."

"Pray for rain?" Zhao Duofu was taken aback.

"Isn't there no rain for three months in a row? If this continues, people will be too hot." The handyman drank his saliva while talking, "Besides, the new policy has just been implemented, and the people's young crops and rice have just been planted. In the face of drought, how can the people live?"

"Pray for rain..." Zhao Duofu just repeated.

"This time to pray for rain, the emperor seems to be staying in Chonghua Mountain for a while. It just so happens that we are now building roads for Chonghua Taoist Temple, so we can see the sky." The handyman said, "When that day comes, let's go and see it together. ? I don’t know what he looks like? The former crown prince looks very talented, and the new emperor is probably not far behind.”

Now the prince's dead body has not been found yet, and the grievances on his body can't be shaken off.If you find Lin Heng...will you be able to get his help?Not only him, but also the current empress, although that girl Cheng Muqing had a quarrel with the prince because of the concubine.But after all, childhood sweethearts, who grew up together, shouldn't be so indifferent.

……

Inside Fengyi Palace, the doors and windows were wide open, and the scorching wind was blowing slowly, which made people feel bored.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go and get some ice cubes." Jin Xi was sweating profusely, holding a small fan in her hand to fan Cheng Muqing who was lying on the rocking chair.

"I have taken a lot today, so let's forget it." Cheng Muqing waved his hand, "The national treasury is empty. As a queen, I should lead by example and be thrifty."

"But..." Jinxi hesitated.My own mother is gold and jade, so what if I use a few pieces of ice?

The little eunuch on the side was pulling the string in his hand, and the other end of the string was a huge cattail fan.Following his movements, the cattail fan swayed up and down, creating a gust of wind.

"Okay, you all go down." Cheng Muqing sighed, "This fan also uses hot air, which makes people bored."

"Yes." Jinxi left together with a few court ladies and eunuchs behind him.

After several people left, Cheng Muqing sat up straight.

The rocking chair swayed and creaked due to her movements.

She touched the sweat on her face and frowned slightly.It's getting hotter...

Just as she was thinking, a black robe appeared in front of her eyes.

Cheng Muqing was stunned for a moment, and then felt a gust of cold air rushing towards his face.

"Qingqing, you're sweating." Lin Heng put aside the iron basin with ice cubes, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and went to wipe her sweat.

"Why did you bring ice?"

"I know you are hot." Lin Heng said slowly, "Now that the national treasury is in short supply, I think you will save."

Cheng Muqing smiled, leaning on her chin, feeling the cool air emanating from her side.

"Speaking of which, about General Cheng..." Lin Heng pursed his lips, "So far, there is no news."

"I understand. Mingchen and Jin Yingwei were sent out, Cui Huwei is also very busy these days, and there is no manpower to inquire about the news." Cheng Muqing took his hand, "You have worked hard too. These half a year, You're all skinny."

"Fortunately."

"I asked the imperial dining room to make wontons, let's eat together later?"

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.

After a while, a court lady walked into Fengyi Palace holding a tray.She scooped out the wontons and placed them in front of the two of them, before Shi Shi stepped back.

"The court situation is fairly stable now." Lin Heng said, "It's been a while since I went to Bashu tomorrow morning, and I think I should be back soon."

Bashu is far away from the capital, and it will take one month at the earliest to go back and forth.But Mingchen's trip to Bashu this time was to secretly investigate the matter of the former Minister of the Household Department, so he did not take the clear path, so naturally he had to go slower.

"When he comes back, I'll send him to inquire about the northern border."

"The wool can't be squeezed all at once." Cheng Muqing pouted, "I have to let Mingchen rest anyway."

"Heh~" Lin Heng nodded and said with a smile, "Qing Qing is right."
