The ugliest queen ever

Chapter 92 97 Ink Fragrance
In the Qiankun Palace, many civil and military officials gathered together, whispering to each other, with anxious expressions on their faces.
The majestic Sikong Jue, dressed in a golden robe, was sitting in the hall, looking at the memorial in his hand, he was even more furious.
"Damn, such a big thing happened, why did you tell me today?"
As soon as his interrogative words fell, Wood, who was next to him, hurried forward and reported in a low voice: "Return to the emperor, the guard who came to report yesterday was kicked out by the emperor, Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Rites waited for the emperor for a whole day, but he did not see the emperor." .”
Recalling what happened yesterday, Sikong Jue's stern face froze immediately.A little speechless, he looked around Rin, his face softened.
Yes, I forced Yaofan to play mahjong with me for a whole day yesterday, but the final result was terrible, and now I still have a sore back.Thinking of this, Sikong Jue sat back on the dragon chair again, and said to His Royal Highness and officials with a serious face: "Now, Yuecheng is infected with a plague, and the people are in dire straits. In just two days, hundreds of people have been killed or injured. If this goes on like this, I'm afraid the entire Moon City will be littered with corpses. I don't know if you love me, do you have any objections to this matter?"
At this time, an old minister in the front cupped his fists respectfully and said: "Now the plague in Yuecheng is spreading rapidly, not to mention Yuecheng, even the surrounding villages and households have been implicated. Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, human beings have encountered countless This plague is very serious, but this time it is particularly serious. I also ask the emperor to eradicate it completely, and seal up the moon city first, so as not to let the people of the moon city flee out of the city, so as not to cause disasters to people in other regions."
After hearing what the old minister said, Sikong Jue frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I know this, but this is not a cure. What I want is how to solve this plague."
"This..." In the face of the plague, most people would avoid it, and the officials who were in the court and had nothing to do with it were even more helpless.
Seeing that everyone in His Highness had no objections, Sikong Jue Longyan was furious, and slapped the dragon table with a "bang--", and said loudly: "This... what is this, I want you to find a way. If you can only Surrounding the people of Yuecheng, but not treating them, wouldn’t that mean driving them to death? At that time, I will lose the hearts of the people and become an incompetent and foolish king.”
Seeing that the emperor is angry, His Highness, everyone is in danger, and everyone speaks cautiously.You look at me, I look at you, but can't tell why.
However, a young hero volunteered and said: "Your Majesty, the plague has spread too fast, and no medicine can be found to cure it. This disaster is really unprepared. Now even doctors dare not go to Moon City. They are afraid of contracting the disease." If this disease is left untreated for five days, it will bleed to death from seven orifices."
"Damn, is there no way?"
In the hall, once again fell into a deadly silence.All the officials buried their heads in the ground, not daring to say anything.It seems that if they make a sound, they will lose their attraction and die like a fish leaving.
Just when Sikong Jue suddenly changed color, Master Zhang from the Ministry of Rites suddenly stood up and said with a look of panic: "Minister, dare to speak out."
"Speak quickly!" Sikong Jue, who just wanted to solve this disaster and couldn't wait, waved his sleeves in response without thinking.
Master Zhang took a step forward, raised his right hand to his chest, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, this natural disaster may be punished by the heavens on Yuecheng."
"What? God's punishment? What's going on?"
"Going back to the emperor, I heard from the people there that half a year ago, the statues of the God of Thunder, the God of Wind, and the God of Rain, who were dying in Shuiyue, were all stolen from the gold-plated eyes. Afterwards, the thief who stole it was never caught, so The people donated and repaired those statues one after another. However, due to insufficient funds, only one eye was repaired on the stone statue of the Rain God. Therefore, since that day, the people in the Yuecheng area have never seen a drop of rain. Now It must be because of the blame of the gods that the plague was caused."
As soon as Mr. Zhang finished speaking, several other ministers who dared not speak also nodded and said: "We have heard of this before."
"Hey, hearing what you said, the matter is still a bit strange?" Sikong Jue immediately leaned over and became interested when he heard this strange thing.
"Yes, the local magistrate once said that the gods in the sky gave him a dream, to the effect that the people here angered her by ignoring her statues. If today's emperor can't personally worship and make amends, she will not be demoted for a hundred years. Rain until nothing grows there."
"What..." Sikong Jue slapped Fulong's table angrily, and said in a deep voice, "Absurd, what does this plague have to do with rain?"
Mr. Zhang trembled in fright when he drank like this, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Back to the emperor, at that time, Weichen and others also thought it was ridiculous, so they didn't take it to heart. But after a long time, the rain not only did not fall , but the plague broke out again, and so many people died, it must be the anger of the gods."
After one sentence fell, the civil and military officials below all sighed.Yes, if at that time, such a weird nightmare would have to personally apologize today, this is simply nonsense.The county magistrate dared to raise it only after eating bear bile.However, now that the plague has really come out, I have to mention this matter.
But Sikong Jue accused Longyan angrily: "Master Zhang, I have always admired you because you have both civil and military skills, and you are brave and resourceful when you fight in the army. I can't think that such a successful and successful person like you would listen to this absurdity It really hurts me to say that.”
"The emperor forgives the sin. In fact, I don't believe in the theory of gods and ghosts. It's just that the people regard all gods and spirits as the highest thing. Moreover, this matter happened at this time, so the people there already believe it. Otherwise, the humble minister Don't dare to risk on the palace..."
"No." Sikong Jue refused to accept it without even thinking about it, asking his generation of emperors to believe in such stupid things, wouldn't it make the world laugh when it spread.
"Your Majesty, please think twice." Master Zhang still knelt in the hall, begging sincerely.Although he knew that the matter of praying for rain was exaggerated and ridiculous, but for the peace of mind of the people, Mr. Zhang didn't care so much.Praying to God is the only way now.At this moment, the hall was once again silent, and no one dared to say a word.The atmosphere was colder than before, and even if he didn't speak, he could feel the dangerous and terrifying atmosphere.
At this moment, the beautiful man who was standing peacefully by the side suddenly stepped out of the crowd lazily, his phoenix eyes were half closed, and his handsome face showed a relaxed smile. Instead of kneeling on the ground, he bowed to Sikong Jue Said: "Your Majesty, now the country is peaceful and the people are safe, especially under the emperor's rule, the people are prosperous. It's just that there are occasional natural disasters, but in the hearts of the people, the emperor is a holy king. This time, if you can pray for the people and pray for God, you will not be born The plague, it can be seen that the emperor cares about the hearts of the people, and how rare it is to bow down for the people's pleas? This opportunity can be described as a great opportunity to regain the hearts of the people. If the emperor can do this, even if he can't live forever, he can be honored by the world.”
Sikong Jue gave the man a serious look, and his expression was slightly relieved. After all, Brother Nine Emperors also agreed so much, so he couldn't help but think about it.
"King Kang, if the plague still persists, what should we do?"
"Even if we don't retreat, there is no other way. Your Majesty, think about it. Plague exists in every dynasty and generation, but it has never been controlled. Whenever the plague comes, those emperors can only ask for God's blessing. Besides In addition, distributing some food and clothing is not a cure for the symptoms at all. Therefore, instead of doing nothing, the emperor might as well try it first and ask the national teacher to open an altar, so that it can be regarded as an explanation to the people."
"Is this really possible..." Unexpectedly, Brother Nine Emperors also greatly agreed with this move, and Sikong Jue became a little upset.Yes, this plague exists in every dynasty, but no emperor can cure it. He doesn't want the people to suffer, but he can't do anything about it.Could it be that we can only imitate those former emperors?How is it different from being a hypocrite?
"Your Majesty, if you just agree, if you just surround the people of Yuecheng and do nothing, then the other people will think you are a foolish king who ignores all the people and only wants to enjoy himself. Therefore, I am acting on behalf of the emperor." Think about it, and ask the emperor to see clearly." After Master Zhang finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground.
At this time, other officials also followed suit and knelt down one after another.
Only Sikong Yue was like a giant standing out from a group of chickens, standing still, with a ripple in her lazy phoenix eyes that was so beautiful and exciting, and then disappeared without a sound.
In the hall, there was silence, and everyone was waiting for the emperor's Jinkou.After a while, only a helpless sigh was heard, and Sikong Jue said coldly: "Come here, according to my will. Tomorrow, I will build an altar outside the hall, and I will personally pray for the wind and rain for the suffering people of Moon City. Get rid of the plague. I hope that the people of Xidan Kingdom can escape from the catastrophe as soon as possible."
Suddenly, Hong Wu's resounding voice sounded in the court hall: "Long live my emperor..."
At that time, Su Xueqing, who had already left the palace, was cleaning up the accounts of the gambling house's income these days.
It was really good. In just half a month, more than half of the capital was earned. If this continues, the more people will meet, then their money will roll in.
"Ma'am, how are you?" Dong Lingao asked in a low voice while standing aside!
Su Xueqing nodded in satisfaction, and said appreciatively, "That's right, that's right. Next, we're going to open a brothel."
"The brothel?" Speaking of the brothel, the three big men blushed slightly and stared at Su Xueqing in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Su Xueqing stared at the three handsome men suspiciously, and said softly: "What's the matter? Didn't I already say that I want to open a brothel?"
Ye Ran thought bitterly: "We know, but ma'am, we are all big men, how can we run a brothel? Besides, our strong men here can spare 10,000+, all of them are girls, it seems that there is no one!"
After Su Xueqing listened, she nodded and pondered: "It seems to be like this, but we can hire beautiful girls at a high price."
"A high-priced hire?" The three of them were confused and puzzled.
Su Xueqing snapped his fingers, and explained to the three of them with a calm face: "This, the abbreviation means poaching corners, as long as we pay double the price and invite popular girls from other brothels, then I will But isn’t he a man who can run a business?”
"It is possible, but Niang Niang, have you ever thought that we will be at a disadvantage?" Dong Lingao felt that it was not worth it.
At this time, Beifengtang stood up and said: "You don't understand this. If we open a new brothel, we don't have much reputation, and we can't do it without spending a lot of money. Madam is so spared, I think there should be her plan .”
"Yes, Fengtang, your mind is much more flexible. What we need now are people, so we have hired people. I will definitely use these people and double the lost money to make back. The so-called wool comes from sheep , Only when you give up can you gain!"
"Madam is right, it's so reasonable, Ye Ran admires it."
"Fengtang also admires it. It's just that Fengtang wants to ask Madam, who should I teach this kind of pimping?"
Facing Beifengtang's questioning, the three men all took a step back in fear, fearing that the burden of standing firm would unfortunately fall upon them.
Su Xueqing sneered strangely, the fat on her cheeks piled up, making her look even more terrifying.
"There are ready-made ones, so I'll use the ready-made ones, so I don't need to worry about it!"
"Ready-made?" When the three of them heard this, they were even more frightened.They looked at each other, their eyes widened.
"I heard from Ye Ran that one of you...seems to have an affair with Mo Xiang, an oiran girl in Chunxianglou, why not recruit her and let her do this, and the brothel can be handed over to this woman in the future Let's do something!"
As soon as the words fell, Ye Ran and Dong Ling Ao, as if they had been pardoned, pointed towards Beifeng Hall happily.
Beifengtang didn't understand at first, but when he came to his senses, his already pale face instantly became even paler.
He was like a prisoner who was accused by everyone and offended everyone.At that moment, he quickly shook his head and said with a painful face: "Ma'am, I misunderstood, Miss Mo Xiang and I are innocent, Ye Ran is talking nonsense. When did Miss Mo Xiang and I have an affair? She just regarded me as a benefactor Just look at it."
Dong Lingao saw that the matter was no longer his own business, and the risk was gone, so he teased Bei Fengtang in a cheerful mood and said, "Yo, is there any favor? Why don't you let Miss Mo Xiang agree with her body?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" With one sentence, Beifengtang's handsome face flushed red.
Su Xueqing felt amused in her heart, and quickly waved her hands to signal everyone to be quiet: "Fengtang, although this matter is disgraceful, it is not shameful. After all, everyone will use their own methods for their own interests. If Miss Mo Xiang is willing to help me, that's very Good. Of course, I hope you can help."
"Ma'am, I..."
"If you think Mo Xiang is good, you can marry her, and then let her help me. In this way, she will give up on you. If you don't like her, then forget it. I don't like men. For some things, I will use unscrupulous means to take advantage of women's feelings. This kind of practice is the most shameful and disdainful for me. So, I won't force you, you think about it yourself. "
"This……"
"Fengtang, don't you often mention that Miss Moxiang is a master of piano, calligraphy and painting. She is not only beautiful like a fairy, but also gentle and graceful. She is no worse than ordinary ladies? Besides, she only sells her skills and not her body. She is still an innocent beauty now. There is nothing wrong with marrying her!"
Hearing what Ye Ran said, Dong Lingao booed again: "That's right, don't deny it, these days in your dreams, you always call Miss Mo Xiang's name, if you don't have that meaning, can you do that?"
"I……"
"Okay, don't make fun of Fengtang anymore. Let's put it aside for now. Let's take our time. Now I have drawn a picture of building the building. This building will be named after Moxiang, and it will be called Moxiang Building. You can Build it according to my drawing, it may be a little difficult and complicated to do, but if you want to make money without losing money, you must listen to me."
"Yes, ma'am!"
