Chapter 686 Competing for Favor

This time the sea water flowed back, which brought in unestimable losses to Daqin. Fortunately, Mr. Feng stabilized the court and the country like a stabilizing needle.

He appointed people based on their merits and appointed officials headed by Li, the Minister of Justice, to provide disaster relief.

He has outstanding political skills and world-control skills. No one in the court and the country dares to disobey. He is well-off in everything and does not miss any important matters.

This government will not cause chaos at this time.

In Liangzhou, Sanmeng and Bai Li cooperated, using the tokens from the Qi Prince's Mansion and the Princess Mansion to order refugees to use labor for relief, and to collect all the jade and wheat planted into the Bai family's granary, leaving enough food for refugees to spend the winter.

In Yangzhou, headed by Xie Yun, the chief of the Qi Palace, led local officials to start diversion. With the support of Nangong Suisui and the craftsmanship of the blacksmith Zhang Jin, the water diversion team was well equipped and progressed smoothly.

After this natural disaster, anyone with discerning eyes will find that those who work hard to contribute diligently to the people are basically inseparable from the Qi Palace.

At this time, Emperor Jiayou did not care about disaster relief at all. He was thinking in his heart that the pirates that had not been wiped out in Yangzhou were uneasy day and night, but he didn't know that the pirates had been broken into pieces and hid in a place he could not find.

Emperor Jiayou is so angry!

For a moment, even the joy brought to him by King Qi's serious injury and disappearance was diluted.

"Bastard! What are you doing! It's just a bucket! Bucket!"

On this day, Emperor Jiayou, who had just returned to the capital, broke out in a big fire because the people sent out to investigate the pirate news did not respond.

He mobilized many troops to fight in person, but the pirates did not completely wipe out the enemy, but he almost got in. He felt that he could not bear the face, and his idea of ​​keeping his name in history was shattered, and he became extremely anxious.

So he sent several groups of people out, but the thunder was loud and the rain was small, so he couldn't make a name for himself, which made his temperament much more violent.

He didn't dare to believe it, and felt that everyone wanted to harm him. Even if the Chengming Palace was silent, he would feel undercurrents.

In addition, the injury he suffered from last time he fell into the water had not healed, and he felt stuffy and painful from the chest and mouth from time to time. The physical and mental torture made him completely crazy and could no longer maintain his image as a Renjun.

But the more this happened, the more he relied on Wei Shu, and even really agreed to Wei Shu as Duke Yue. Although he did not explicitly say that he wanted to accept Wei Shu as his adopted son, the people in the capital had already heard of the news and almost stepped on the steps in front of the gate of the commander's mansion.

However, Wei Shu was not proud of this, nor did he take this opportunity to form a clique for personal gain. Instead, he served Emperor Jiayou more appropriately and thoughtfully, which really made Emperor Jiayou feel like he was "a filial son when he was old", and even wished that Wei Shu would be with him day and night.

So Wei Shu became the first foreign minister who could enter and exit Chengming Palace freely during the reign of Emperor Jiayou, and could have three meals with Emperor Jiayou, occasionally staying in the palace.

"Your Majesty, calm down. If there is no news within three days, I will go on a trip in person." Wei Shu quickly handed a cup of tea to Emperor Jiayou.

Eunuch Wang, who wanted to do the same thing, with his hand retracted, and his expression was silent for a moment.

This was originally what he did.

But now that all of them have been snatched by Wei Shu, how can he not secretly hate him?

After all, an old eunuch like him cannot solve his problems for His Majesty, nor can he go on the battlefield to kill the enemy and make achievements. All honor and disgrace and future are dependent on the emperor, and the way to exchange for honor and disgrace is to serve the emperor well.

Wei Shu is so attentive now, why can he not feel alert? If the emperor finds that he is not needed, he can even imagine his fate with his toes.

Emperor Jiayou did not notice the expression of Wei Shu's gritting teeth on the face of Eunuch Wang. He took the tea and drank it. He took a long breath to make a decision: "Wei Shu, if everyone can be like you, then I don't have to worry about that anymore."

"Your Majesty, your anger is harmful to your body. You are the master of all charities in the world. What can't be solved by just wiping your fingers?" Wei Shu said seriously, without any flattery, which made Emperor Jiayou feel very comfortable.

The more serious a person is, the better the good words he says.

Emperor Jiayou handed over the teacup, and Eunuch Wang reached out to pick it up, but he was one step slower than Wei Shu.

It happened that Wei Shu saw him reach out, so he retracted his hand and stood aside. It was the moment when he was wrong. Eunuch Wang failed to catch it in time. The teacup fell to the ground with a "bang" and broke into countless pieces.

The hot tea splashed Emperor Jiayou's foot. The anger that had just been suppressed by Emperor Jiayou was immediately picked up again. He slapped Eunuch Wang in the head and scolded viciously: "You can't even hold a teacup, don't you eat? Get out of here! I don't want to see the face of you, an old fool! Don't serve me whenever Wei Shu is here in the future! Get out!"

Eunuch Wang was dizzy when he was beaten. He didn't dare to say anything. He bent down and picked up the knocked hat, and stepped back with his messy hair.

Wei Shu helped Emperor Jiayou sit down and patted him with a slight angrily: "Your Majesty, after all, Eunuch Wang is old and his hands are not as good as the young man. I want to spare him this time because of his love for you who has served you for the rest of his life."

Emperor Jiayou looked at Wei Shu unexpectedly and said, "Didn't you always be unfair? Why are you still talking for him?"

Wei Shu replied, "Your Majesty is kind-hearted. Because he is angry, he scolded Eunuch Wang. If you punish Eunuch Wang severely today, when you calm down, your Majesty, you may feel uncomfortable when you think of Eunuch Wang's goodness. So I advise you, I just don't want Your Majesty to have any burden on you."

"In terms of caring, no one among my children can compare to you." After hearing this, Emperor Jiayou not only became angry, but also his smile became more kind. "Come on, you can analyze the situation in the court with me and tell me what the situation is on the side of King Qi and if there is any news about him."

Wei Shu briefly explained the situation in the court and finally said: "Your Majesty, what I can't rest assured is what exactly caused you to fall into the water that day? If it kept lurking in the water, it would be a must to hurt people again. Now there are many officials in Yangzhou to deal with water diversion matters."

Emperor Jiayou slapped the table with a calm expression: "I am also curious. The guards said that it was just a frightened fish, but I don't believe it. Tens of thousands of people and thousands of rafts almost covered the entire water surface. Why didn't the fish attack other rafts but attack me instead? You must continue to investigate this matter. I want to see which troublemaker wants to harm me!"

Wei Shu said: "I will do this matter. Your Majesty does not need to worry. You must take good care of your body, the country and the people cannot do without you."

After a pause, Wei Shu said worriedly: "I asked the imperial doctor, and they said that Your Majesty's body was very damaged because of this injury. You must listen to the imperial doctor, take medicine on time, be calm, so that you can recover as soon as possible. Don't learn from the ancient emperors, avoid medical treatment, and even use elixirs to nourish your body for convenience."

Wei Shu's low voice and Emperor Jiayou's laughter reached the ears of Eunuch Wang. His heart was as cold as it was poured by cold water, cold and without any temperature.

Wei Shu, relying on his temporary compliment, dared to frame him. He must let this thing know how spicy his old ginger is!

He has served His Majesty for the rest of his life, and he is His Majesty’s confidant. If you want to compete for favor with him, you should have a few decades sooner!

The more Mr. Wang thought about it, the more angry he became. He sorted out his hair, patted his hat and put it on. He described it in a slightly embarrassed manner, which made the anger on his face and the murderous intent in his eyes very clearly.

At this time, a young man walked slowly not far away, his body was like green pine and his face was like gentle wind. He was the third prince.

As soon as the prince's eyes were set on the third prince, a vicious plan arose from the bottom of his heart.
