The wife is the king of the palace

The New Year's Eve passed, and the new year came, and time flew by. Almost in a blink of an eye, the capital and even Dayu returned to their former appearance.

After the Lantern Festival on the 15th, the court also began to go to court normally.

On the night of the Lantern Festival, Jin Qi stayed in Lin Xu's mansion until there were no more pedestrians on the street and Lin Xu drove them out, then he returned to the palace dejectedly.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, Jin Qi has been staying in the prime minister's mansion except when necessary. After breaking through that relationship, Jin Qi has become a little reluctant to part, not to mention that there are not many such opportunities.

After the Lantern Festival, before dawn on the second day, Lin Xu went to the palace as usual. After the gate of the main hall was opened, all the officials filed in.

Everyone stood in line, and after the chief eunuch said some auspicious words, all the court officials also knelt down to congratulate Jinqi on his long live the new year.

After some etiquette, the sky was lit up with a layer of white belly. The morning in the cold winter always comes very late. If it were changed to summer, the sky would already be bright at this moment.

It was the first morning of the new year, and the reports from all the officials were not major events, but mostly trivial anecdotes about the Chinese New Year.

Jin Qi didn't say anything either, although the new year has passed, it's their first morning court this year, so it's not easy to bring up those bad things as soon as they come.

Sure enough, after the first day passed, everything reported by the officials and handed over in the early morning of the second day was no longer as good as before.

The coldest time of the severe winter has arrived, and the location of their capital city is not bad. Although the heavy snow is all over the sky, it has not caused much impact, but there are also many places that are affected, especially the barren mountain hunters, who have a very bad winter every year. easy.

It's okay if it's just a small fight, and the court doesn't have time to take care of everyone, but such situations are not uncommon.

Returning to work in the new year, in the courtroom, Lin Xu finally felt that he was back on track for a few days after listening to the words of the officials.

The court resumed its usual pace, but Xu Jun on Xu Lan's side started to make trouble after the Chinese New Year.

Xu Jun already wanted to go out to seek a job. Before that, he stayed at home because Xu Lan refused to let him go. Now that Lin Xu made an excuse, Xu Jun, who didn't know that Xu Lan had agreed to Lin Xu's consideration, became fussy.

Xu Lan has always doted on Xu Jun, and this is a well-known joke in the capital. After the Chinese New Year, when everyone heard that Xu Jun was about to make a mess of the Shangshu Mansion, making Xu Lan very worried, everyone couldn't help laughing stand up.

When Lin Xu heard about this, he couldn't help showing a little smile on his face, his eyes were a little helpless, Xu Jun is a smart man.

Mr. Xu was in a commotion, and Qi State, which had been blackmailed by Lin Xu for several 10 taels of silver, had settled down during this period of time. The rear of Dayu, which was originally heavily guarded, has eased in recent days.

It is a great thing to have no worries in the rear, but Xia Guo in front did not give them a chance to celebrate. At the beginning of the new year, before February, they began to be dishonest again.

The frontier war spread again, and Jin Qi and the letter of war also replied with an edict for General Ghost Face to return to court as soon as possible.

He wants to see people because of one reason, and another reason is because of Jin Yi's affairs, and the accountant in the border army is getting old now, and he handed in a letter a few years ago to resign because of Jin Qi Bian couldn't find a suitable substitute, so he kept declining.

No matter how powerful General Ghost Face is, he is only one person with only one pair of hands. He can lead troops to fight, but he may not be proficient in accountant management.

Now that a suitable candidate is found, the matter of the accountant can be eased. The ghost-faced general can take the person away earlier, so that Jun Xu can be familiar with the matter of the accountant at the border.

All the officials in the court are concerned, everything in the court is the same as before, day after day, everything is in order, except for Jin Yi, King Jin who was left in the palace by Jin Qi, as time goes by, he is now irritable Not to.

Jin Yi proposed to leave many times, but was cleverly rejected by Jin Qi. The time was delayed again and again, from years ago to now, at least two or three months have passed, and Jin Yi has already noticed it.

It's just that although Jin Yi is aware of it, he has some

I don't know what Jin Qi wants to do.

After Jin Qi ascended the throne, he got rid of all the forces and princes and ministers who opposed him in the court. Jin Yi also knew that Jin Qi didn't want to let him go. With this relationship, although Jin Yi felt guilty, he became more suspicious after thinking about it. Is Jin Qi going to get rid of him?

Jin Yi became more and more cautious and didn't want to leave the slightest clue, and he also wanted to leave the capital more and more. He had been lurking for many years, and now the plan is going well, so he doesn't want to have problems at this time.

Jin Yi tried to leave, and even proposed it in the early court, but Jin Qi was still not sure. Seeing that the year was over, Jin Qi fortunately found an errand for him, asking him to help compile the book.

There are civil officials dedicated to compiling books in the court, but Jin Qi excuses that he lost a lot of documents when he ascended the throne. Jin Yi is most familiar with the situation in the palace at that time, and it is the best person to ask him to help.

When Jin Qi mentioned this, the faces of Jin Yi and the officials in the court immediately became strange. It was true that some documents were lost when Jin Qi ascended the throne, but most of them were burned by Jin Qi.

In the hall, after Jin Qi could not refuse the proposal to arrange this matter, he looked at Lin Xu who was beside him, "I have heard that the Prime Minister likes books a long time ago, so I will leave this matter to the two of you together."

Lin Xu glanced at Jin Yi who was next to him, but did not refuse, and clasped his fists in response, "I accept the order."

Jin Qi naturally knew that he didn't like books, but ancient books, calligraphy and painting. He said that, but he made an excuse for him to help, and also supervised Jinyi by the way.

Jin Yi still wanted to say something, but now the situation couldn't allow him to refuse.

Because of Jin Qi's decree, Lin Xu had to start sorting out the documents of previous years together with Jin Yi, and compiled and stored them in a good way.

Jin Yi had something on his mind, and his temper became more and more irritable, and the few people who worked with him were insulted and bullied by him.

He originally planned to take his anger out on Lin Xu, but Lin Xu was not the kind of person who would allow him to bully him, so he never got any favors and could only vent on other people.

Time passed day by day, and it was March in a blink of an eye.Winter is over, spring is coming, and the court is also busy, because the warmer weather means that the flood-prone period is approaching.

In March and a half, the weather has turned warm, and the snow blankets in many places have begun to melt, and the places have already melted, and the streams and rivers have already begun to flow.

As the time was approaching, Jin Qi called several people who knew about the matter to the imperial study for a ceremony. The matter was of great importance, together with Minister of Industry Su Fanyi and Wu Yiran.

"Everything in other places is normal, and there is no special situation at present." Su Fanyi reported that because he sensed that something was wrong, the Ministry of Industry has been energized by 12 during this time.

"Is it also over there in Jingshan City?" Jin Qi asked.

Jingshan City has always been the place with the worst disaster situation, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Jinyi.

Su Fanyi was a little hesitant when he heard the words, and said, "Not yet."

They all knew that Jin Yi must have something to do with this matter, but they never found out how he did it.

"Why don't I go again?" Su Fanyi asked after a moment's pause.

Years ago, he used the excuse of inspecting the fortifications to go to the vicinity of Jingshan City. In order to avoid being noticed by Jin Yi's eyes and ears, he did not enter the city, but he also went to a nearby place to see it.

He confirmed with his own eyes that there was no cutting corners on the dam, which made him even more confused about how the annual floods were caused.

"No need." Lin Xu stopped, Su Fanyi was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, if he often ran to Jingshan City, he would definitely be suspected.

"Then what should we do? Can we just wait like this?" Wu Yiran was a little anxious when he heard the words. Now the flood season will soon be high. Once the flood breaks out, many people will suffer.

"If Su Shangshu said that there is no problem with the project, then we can only investigate after the incident, which is more convenient." Lin Xudao.

It's not that Lin Xu didn't want to save people from fire and water, but he wasn't omnipotent either. At least he had never studied how flood control dams were built and how to make them stronger.

After the flood happened, Lin Xu also read many related

Books, but this doesn't make him become an expert in it all at once.

"Then I'll go then." Su Fanyi said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Wan Yu, who had been standing quietly by the side, couldn't take it anymore, he could hear things coming and going.

"If there is another flood in a few days, you must strictly check the direction of the disaster relief funds, and you must not miss any of them." Jin Qi looked at Wan Yu.

"I obey the order." Wan Yu replied, but his eyes kept sweeping over several people, he still didn't understand what happened.

"For disaster relief, I have other ideas." Lin Xu looked at Jin Qi, "Although the national treasury has been alleviated every year for disaster relief, the situation is not rich, but the troops stationed at the border should still have surplus food. Go for a walk." Lin Xu said suddenly after thinking for a moment.

"Him?" Jin Qi frowned slightly, disapproving.

The others in the room didn't know the true identity of General Ghost Face, but Lin Xu knew that his identity was a secret and must not be discovered by Jin Yi, so it was too risky to ask him to take this trip on purpose?

"The emperor has kept him in the palace for so long, he must have noticed it, but he has not yet determined what the reason is, if we go at this time, he will definitely understand it immediately, and it will be more chaotic if we let the ghost-faced general go. Eyes and ears." Lin Xu said.

Lin Xu glanced at the people beside him, especially Wanyu.Wan Yu was not stupid, he already roughly guessed what they were talking about and who they were talking about, with surprised and complicated expressions on his face.

What Lin Xu said made sense, and Jin Qi agreed after thinking for a while, and he could only agree.

After discussing this matter, Jin Qi seemed to have thought of something, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Okay, you guys go down first, don't spread the matter today."

Everyone walked towards the door one after another when they heard the sound, Jin Qi called Lin Xu to stop when he saw this, and when everyone else left, Jin Qi looked at Lin Xu with a smile in his eyes.

"Is there something else to do, Your Majesty?" Lin Xu didn't understand what he was laughing at.

"I asked him to come back earlier." What Jin Qi said about him was naturally the ghost-faced general at the border, who was his only blood relative now.

Lin Xu said nothing but just looked at him quietly, motioning for him to continue talking.

Jin Qi coughed lightly, and he was still smiling, but his eyes felt a little uncomfortable, "You see, I have already been to your home and met your parents..."
