Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 12 Heroes Save America
The next morning.

The warm golden sun shines on the land of Shangjing. In the majestic and majestic Jinluan Hall of the North Hall, the Ming Emperor sits majestically on the Dragon Throne. Under his feet are rows of courtiers holding wat boards. After bowing and bowing, they all stand in awe. Waiting for Ming Shengdi to speak.

"The one-day period has passed. I ordered all the ministers to think about the water control plan yesterday. Can you prepare it?" Ming Shengdi's deep voice echoed in the hall, his eyes swept over everyone, and he looked at everyone inquiringly. expression.

The courtiers looked at me and I looked at you, swallowing nervously, but everyone handed in this memorial, it's just that the quantity is more than the quality.

The young ministers with a little courage and courage have written some real materials, and the veteran ministers who have been rooted in the court for more than ten years are mostly sticking to their ink, except for the idea of ​​collecting crowdfunding donations from the treasury. I can't say anything better.

"Your Majesty, all the symphonies played by the adults today are here, please take a look at them!"

Xiao Xiazi was holding the chopping board, on top of which were stacked like a small mountain of playing rules.

Ming Shengdi nodded, picked up a book and flipped through it, and before reading half of it, he was already frowning and dissatisfied.He threw away the playbook, read another one, and still threw it away.Ming Shengdi read seven or eight books in a row, all of which were similar in content, clamoring for the imperial court to provide money for disaster relief, but did not mention the rest.

"A bunch of trash! You think I'm old, so I don't have to worry about planning for me, don't you?" Ming Shengdi was furious, threw out all the memorials on the entire chopping board, pointed at a group of courtiers and cursed.

The ministers were terrified, and one by one hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is angry! The ministers are stupid, but they are loyal to the emperor, and they dare not neglect at all!"

Ming Shengdi sneered, looked at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, blew his beard and stared angrily, pointed to Li Kun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who was kneeling closest to the ground in the front row, and reprimanded: "Don't dare to neglect? Li Qing Master, tell me, what kind of recommendation did you write on the notebook you handed in?"

Li Kun tremblingly raised his head to look at Ming Shengdi, met those sharp and vigorous eyes, couldn't help shivering, and stammered: "I...I suggest that the inner lake and the Jiangnan canal be dug, and the mud that has accumulated The sand and the floodwaters are channeled into the canal...so that the damage can be mitigated."

Ming Shengdi picked up the roll-printed gold mask at his feet and threw it at Li Kun, clutching his chest so that his face twisted in anger.

"It's nonsense, it's nonsense! The canal in the south of the Yangtze River is higher than the fields and houses, and a little bit higher than the inner lake. You recommend that the canal be dug through the inner lake, because you think the flood is not severe enough, and you want to help it drown the people in the south of the Yangtze River? !"

Li Kun lowered his head, put his hands in his sleeves, did not dare to vent his breath, and said weakly: "I dare not..."

The surrounding ministers of the emperor's eldest son's party feathers and the emperor's eldest grandson's party members all laughed softly, watching the play gloatingly.

"Shut up! Don't laugh!" Ming Shengdi roared, and the ground became quiet in an instant, holding his breath and looking up at him, "One by one, you eat my food, use my food, and the national crisis is at your fingertips , let you write some cases of water control, it is more difficult than going to heaven!"

"A majestic seven-foot boy, not as good as a little girl in Zijin!"

Ming Shengdi threw Xia Zijin's handwritten drawings from the Mosheng Garden yesterday in front of the ministers in the front row, and his disappointment was beyond words.

"Yesterday I went to visit Zijin. She said that she is my blood, and she should do her best for the country and me. She wrote this book on how to deal with floods in the south of the Yangtze River. Look, I don't know how delicate her thoughts are compared to you guys. How much stronger is the minister of the brachial thigh!"

The prince's eyelids moved, he picked up a drawing from the ground, looked at it carefully, his face showed surprise, this Xia Zijin, a well-known boudoir woman, actually knows such a wonderful way?
Seeing the situation, he cupped his hands and praised: "Sister Zijin, who is beautiful and intelligent, is actually a role model for women in Shangjing. It is the great fortune of the country and the blessing of the people that the father and emperor raise their daughters well!
The ministers hurriedly echoed the crown prince's words of compliment to Emperor Ming, and the court hall immediately became lively.

Ming Shengdi's face softened a little, he waved his hands and said: "I have already figured it out, this time the flood in the south of the Yangtze River will follow the method written by Zijin, I want to send a capable love minister as an envoy for flood control, Go to Jiangnan to implement the plan."

As soon as these words came out, there was another commotion among the courtiers. They knew that the envoy for water control was a fat job, and he went to Jiangnan with a large sum of money for disaster relief.Furthermore, if the water is properly controlled, he will be a meritorious minister when he returns to the court, and it is not a problem to be rewarded with gold and silver!

It's just that I don't know whose head such a good job will fall on?

"I don't know which adult the emperor would like to go?" the eldest son of the emperor asked aloud.

As members of the royal family, the crown prince and the princes obviously cannot take on such errands, but they all hope to let their subordinates compete for it. There are dark tides surging in the peaceful court, and dozens of pairs of eyes are firmly fixed on it. In the position of the flood control envoy.

"I haven't decided on the candidate yet. After I think about it carefully, I will retreat to the court today."

The prince's fine eyes narrowed, this flood control envoy must be on his side!

In the imperial garden, Xia Zijin carefully picked the roses on the green stems and gently put them into the rattan basket. Take a deep sniff at the half-full wicker basket.

"Princess, what are we going to do with these fragrant flowers?"

Xia Zijin carefully selects the roses that are in full bloom among the flowers, and removes the dry petals, leaving the most delicate parts.

"The rose is bright in color and has a pleasant smell. It is loved by women from the western countries. It is very good to put it in a porcelain vase in the living room, or add it to the bathing soup. This princess wants to pick the petals , Let the small kitchen make some flower cakes for dinner."

When Xiaokui heard that there was something to eat, she cheered, and her hands moved more diligently. After a while, the rattan basket was full, and the fragrance was overflowing, making Xiaokui sneezed.

"It should be enough, let's go, and stop by the lotus pond to pick some lotus leaves to make lotus-flavored wings and rice."

The two masters and servants walked in front, followed by five or six court ladies, and the group of people arrived at the lotus pond in a short while. The lotus pond in the imperial garden has already faded away, leaving behind deep and shallow greens Also clean.

"Princess, it just rained after noon yesterday, and the edge of the lotus pond is a bit slippery, so be careful!"

Xia Zijin nodded, leaned forward with her skirt in her hand, and picked the tenderest lotus leaf in the lotus field. The leaf carried the coolness of the night dew, and it slid down on her wrist, bringing a burst of coolness.

Suddenly, Xia Zijin felt that something hit the sand and stones under her feet, and the footsteps loosened. She hurriedly stopped her steps, but was driven by inertia, and she fell forward.

"Princess!!!"

Xiaokui reached out to grab Xia Zijin's shoulders, but only grabbed the shawl on her shoulders, only to hear a plop, and Xia Zijin fell face up into the lotus pond.

Xia Zijin only felt that the icy and trembling pool water surrounded her. Although the pool water in late autumn is not as freezing as freezing to death, it is also biting. Chi Shui, coughing with sore throat.

"Come on! Princess Pearl has fallen into the water! Come on!"

Xiaokui and the palace maid shouted for help, shedding tears on the spot, if something happened to the princess, their heads would not be enough to cut off!

At this moment, with a pair of eyes staring at everything in the dark, he smiled, threw away the stone in his hand, and looked carefully, it was exactly the same as the one that hit Xia Zijin's feet!
"My son, it's done."

Lin Runyu nodded, and handed two 1000 taels of silver notes to the person who threw the stone, saying: "Go away, don't let people see you."

Xia Zijin, who was struggling in the pool, felt as if her lungs had been invaded by liquid, and her head became dizzy.She was reborn with great difficulty, and she hasn't avenged her revenge, and her relationship hasn't been married yet, so she's going to drown in this lotus pond, right?That would be really wronged!

Suddenly, Xia Zijin felt a pair of arms around her waist, and the man got close to her body, held her in his arms, and swam towards the surface of the water.A familiar cold fragrance penetrated Xia Zijin's nose, her drowsy head was awakened suddenly by this fragrance, and she unconsciously fell into a kind of fear, which was added by her previous life, which made her heart ache.

Lin Runyu, it's him.

Xia Zijin was carried ashore by those hands, she was coughing dyingly, her hair and clothes were wet and stuck tightly to her skin, revealing her beautiful curves without a doubt.

"Princess!" Xiaokui and the maids surrounded her, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Xia Zijin, who was weak and panting in Lin Runyu's arms.

"Princess, are you alright?"

Lin Runyu put her on the ground, picked up the cloak he threw on the bank before jumping into the pool, and carefully put it on for her.

Xia Zijin still had lingering fears in her heart. Seeing this savage son in front of her, she wished she could crush and burn everything related to him!

"Princess?" Seeing Xia Zijin's slightly weird expression, Lin Runyu couldn't help but feel worried. Could it be that she found out that she was deliberately tricked by someone to make her fall into the water...

Xia Zijin was pulled back to her sanity by this call, she suppressed the hatred in her eyes and put on a frightened and weak look.

"Thank you, my son, for saving me. This princess is very grateful!"

Only then did Lin Runyu let go of the stone in her heart, and approached Xia Zijin slightly without leaving a trace, raised her chin, and said in a self-confident way: "The princess is polite, the beauty is in trouble, how can I stand by and watch?"

Xia Zijin felt disgusted in her heart, but she nodded with a calm smile. In her heart, she always felt that it was not that simple to fall into the water. She clearly remembered that Xiaokui reminded her that the shore was slippery. She also paid attention to stepping steadily, until something gathered the sand and stones under her feet, and then she lost her center of gravity and almost fell into the pool.
