Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 387 The wind and rain are coming
However, Chu Zhi and Han Zhan finally returned home, because within a few days, they received a secret report that there was a drought in different areas of Liang State.

Only then did Chu Zhi remember what he had missed.

At this time in the previous life, the Liang Kingdom was plagued by drought first, then locusts and insects, and finally floods. The Emperor Xiao was living and dreaming in the palace all day, extravagant and extravagant. It didn't take long for violence, chaos, violence, and chaos to occur. Gu Changyan He and the four princes gained power, and the struggle for Liang Guozheng and power officially kicked off.

Chu Zhi suddenly remembered these things, and hurried back home with Han Zhan.

Now the Hou Mansion managed to stabilize the situation, and there must be no further mistakes.

At the same time, Han Zhan brought Prince Rui's crimes of occupying the fertile land and committing misdeeds to Emperor Xiao, and reconnected with General Qi. As expected, Gu Changyan was rushed back to Beijing not long after.

Before that, Gu Changyan accompanied His Majesty in the palace.

It's funny to say, His Majesty supports and uplifts the prince everywhere, and forbids anyone to say that the prince is wrong, so he took the prince with him when he went to the palace, because the prince wanted to help approve the memorial, but at the same time he brought Gu Changyan, Gu The long banquet belonged to the fourth prince, and the two read the memorial together, wouldn't it mean that the prince and the fourth prince handled the government affairs together?
After all, I still don't trust the prince, fearing that the prince will threaten his rights when he grows up, that's why.

However, Emperor Xiao threw all the memorials to Gu Changyan and the crown prince, so Han Zhan's memorials were naturally in Gu Changyan's hands. His Majesty's matter is pure slander, and he asked Emperor Xiao to allow him to go back to Beijing to verify it himself.

The object of the investigation is your father, you said you should investigate?Don't worry!
But Emperor Xiao still nodded.

Gu Changyan had just returned to the capital from the palace in a hurry. It was a coincidence that on the day Gu Changyan returned to Beijing, Chu Zhi and Han Zhan happened to be checking around the grain shop on the street. Since there was a drought, they had to make sure that the grain in the capital was safe. .

So the two of them turned to Gu Changyan who was riding back to Beijing.

Gu Changyan reined in the reins in front of the two of them, and did not get off the horse. He looked down at Han Zhan from a height, and the smile that was always on his lips disappeared, and his eyes stared at Han Zhan with coldness.

"Han Zhan, you are really amazing."

"Where did the son say this? I don't know."

"You know what I said in your heart, but I advise you not to be happy too early, and be careful not to shoot yourself in the foot with a stone."

After Gu Changyan said these words, he rode away.

"It seems that Gu Changyan already knew about your suing against Prince Rui."

"I heard that the memorials sent to the palace by the ministers were all approved by Gu Changyan and the crown prince, so it's not surprising that he would know." Han Zhan said, "Actually, I told dad from the very beginning that even if Prince Rui's matter was exposed, it would be fine." There won't be any results, the only thing is to be able to remove the Hou's Mansion from the limelight, after all Prince Rui's Mansion has Gu Changyan, so it will definitely not fail."

Chu Zhi sighed: "But I always feel that this matter is not that simple."

There was a drought at this time in the previous life, but before that, Han Zhan had been implicated in the witchcraft case that framed the prince, so the Zhongyonghou's mansion had long been ransacked, and Han Zhan was also missing. Now Han Zhan and Zhongyonghou's mansion Everything is fine, no one knows what will happen next.

Han Zhan said: "Don't worry about this, His Majesty will make a decision."

Unexpectedly, Han Zhan really hit the spot.

Indeed, the drought became more and more serious, and locust plagues appeared in different places. It can be said that misfortunes never come singly.

"How can I deal with the drought? If it doesn't rain, can I go and rain? But the problem is that if I want rain, it will rain, not to mention the locust plague."

"The locust plague is easy to deal with. Ducks are raised in the south of the Yangtze River. It will be easy to use ducks to deal with the locust plague. It's just a drought..." Chu Zhi sighed. His Majesty will definitely peel off a sum of money for disaster relief from those people in the magistrate's yamen. It's just a layer of officials, going down one level at a time. When the official scriptures are in the hands of the people, I'm afraid there will be nothing left, so it will only happen once. .”

As Chu Zhi expected, the first imperial edict came down, followed by the second imperial edict.

The imperial decree said that the relief money should be sent directly to the disaster area by Han Zhan. If anything goes wrong, only Han Zhan will ask.

This is a hot potato!
Chu Zhi said worriedly: "You just participated in the performance of Prince Rui, and now you are asked to deal with disasters. It is very likely that drinking wine is Gu Changyan's idea again, so you cannot accept this errand."

"Then how do you do it?" Han Zhan laughed, "You can't resist the order?"

"Even if you pick it up, it's not such a way to pick it up! Gu Changyan can push you into the water, so naturally you can't ask him to sit on the sidelines. When you go back to His Majesty, just say that you are a fool and don't understand anything. Wouldn't it be good to ask you to go to the disaster relief?" Delay in business? If you miss a major event, you will not be able to pay for the entire Marquis Mansion. Your Majesty will naturally refuse. At this time, if you ask again, someone must go with you. You assist the other party. If there is no accident, Your Majesty will send Gu Changyan sent it out."

Checking and balancing each other is Xiaohuang's usual method, but if this method is used too much, it will not work.

Now Han Zhan is the first to plead guilty, saying that he can't do it. No matter the result is good or bad, Han Zhan will not be blamed.

Han Zhan's eyes lit up: "I'm still a smart lady, and she's thoughtful, I didn't even think of it."

After speaking, he went to the palace overnight, and when he came back the next day, Han Zhan only said two words: "It's done."

Chu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.

Han Zhan said: "However, Your Majesty said that Hai Xiuyan will also be sent there. Now Hai Xiuyan is also in the south of the Yangtze River and asked him to meet us there. He has been there for a long time and has already figured out the situation there. It will save you a lot of trouble."

It was urgent at this time, and Han Zhan set off with the team on the third day.

The night before he left, Han Zhan hugged Chu Zhi and bullied her severely. If Dong'er hadn't been forcibly pulled up by Dong'er the next day, he might have missed the practice for Han Zhan.

Because Gu Changyan was also going, the fourth prince and Chu Xi also came.

Now the fourth prince takes Chu Xi with him wherever he goes, so that Chu Xi, the side concubine, is even more prestigious than the fourth prince's concubine.

Chu Xi looked at Gu Changyan, her eyes were full of reluctance. If the fourth prince was not present, she would definitely hug Gu Changyan and not let him go. The fourth prince said that this task is difficult, and a little carelessness will cause riots. At that time, there will be chaos in the country of Liang, and he will become a sinner of the country of Liang. How could Chu Xi be willing to ask Gu Changyan to go to such a dangerous job!
It's a pity that with the four princes around, even though Chu Xi was very reluctant, she could only endure it forcefully.

Chu Zhi and Han Zhan are more dramatic here.

At Gu Changyan's place, Princess Rui and Chu Xi were reluctant to leave, but it was Han Zhan holding Chu Zhi and not letting go, wishing to bring Chu Zhi to the south of the Yangtze River, so that the two places would not be separated. It's a pity, he cannot.

Han Zhan was so angry that he hit the wall.
