Xiao Shilian also put down his newly born daughter and ran outside the house.
Outside the house has become a sea of people. People hugged each other, celebrated, and shouted loudly. There were cheers everywhere, like the creation of the world and the shaking of the mountains.
Xiao Shilian looked up to the sky and opened his mouth in the heavy rain. The raindrops quickly hit his body. His skin fell into his mouth again, bringing a trace of imperceptible pain, but he no longer cared about it.
He was extremely excited: It was finally raining!
The people are saved!
Xiao Shilian let out a long sigh, feeling a little proud
He finally did not let down the emperor's love for him. It was raining and the drought was slowing down. He didn't need to resign.
This is not only a kind of liberation for himself, but also a kind of liberation for the emperor.
His long-term career life made him know that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, and the weather will be good. If the drought is not relieved, the people may rebel, and the country will definitely be in turmoil.
Brother Xiao, congratulations! A voice came from behind Xiao Shilian. He quickly turned his head and saw that the person coming was Jia Yi (yi)
The Censor Zhongcheng is a deputy chief of the Censor Taichung, the supervisory institution of the Han Empire. He is half a rank lower than the Minister of Works. He is a second-rank official rank.
Originally, the responsibility of the Censorate is to pick up the style of inspectors, rectify the rules and regulations of major affairs, and make small matters. From the prime minister to ordinary small officials, all of them are impeached by the Censors, so ordinary officials feel a little timid when they see them.
Especially this Jia Yi, he is even more upright and has strict law enforcement. If he becomes stubborn, even the emperor will give him three points.
However, Xiao Shilian is not afraid of Jia Yi, but the two are still very good friends
It is precisely because birds of a feather flock together. Both of them are upright people, both are loyal to the emperor and caring for the people, so they often drink and drink tea together and talk about national affairs together.
Seeing that my good friend was soaked in heavy rain that he was like a chicken falling from the ground, Xiao Shilian also smiled and said to Jia Yi: Brother Jia is in his forties, but he is also devoted to the country and the people. Celebrating with the people in such heavy rain is really a model for our officials. However, Brother Jia also needs to pay attention to his health, after all, he is no better than a young man. If he is sick by heavy rain, it will be a loss to the court.
Thank you for your care. As an official in the court, I naturally have to share the worries of the emperor and solve the problems of the people. In fact, for Brother Xiao, today is a double happiness! Jia Yi said with a smile.
Xiao Shilian knew what Jia Yi meant. He smiled and shook his head and said: Brother Jia, compared to the great joys like the heavens, my joys are simply insignificant. I am ashamed. If I could consider the possibility of various disasters more, plan various ways to deal with disasters, and prepare for the future, the people would not suffer so much, and the emperor would not be so worried.
Brother Xiao was too worried. Everything God did was naturally reasonable. How could we just mortals fight against it? I think this drought was also a cause... Speaking of this, Jia Yi suddenly lowered his voice: I'm afraid it was a warning to the empire's conquest last year.
Xiao Shilian opened his eyes wide and looked at Jia Yi. He did not expect that his good friend would say such a ruthless thing, and he quickly looked around and said to Jia Yi in a low voice: Brother Jia, how dare you say such words!
That's Ah who was the emperor personally expedition! Fortunately, I told my brother. If others listened, be careful to send you to prison! Besides, that Japan is an enemy of the Han Empire for generations. Is it wrong to attack them?
Brother Xiao, don't worry, Japan is the empire's feud. I don't deny that this is just war that makes people suffer, their families are destroyed, their country is decayed, and their society is in turmoil. It's really not a good thing! I have always insisted that people don't offend me, I don't offend others. If people offend me, I will offend others. This principle of exchanges between countries, even if it is like a beast country like Japan, we should treat them with this principle... Japan has not harassed the Han Empire for a long time, and this expedition has some unknown divisions. Jia Yi sighed
Brother Jia said it was good, but since it was determined by the emperor, we should support it as ministers! Our emperor is also considered a wise ruler of the king, so he will naturally consider what he does. And hasn’t he also solicited the opinions of many ministers? Xiao Shilian said
Alas, Brother Xiao, this is exactly what I think is strange and worried about. When Emperor Ah, he was indeed a respectful person, caring for the people, and listening to both sides, and he was clear. At that time, our monarch and ministers had a harmonious relationship, and the emperor was able to listen to our opinions. But slowly, he seemed to have changed a lot... Alas, forget it, let's not talk about it, it is a very disrespectful crime to argue about the emperor... But how could the emperor become so cruel now?
Jia Yi still couldn't help but say what he was in his heart
Brother Jia! Xiao Shilian was startled by Jia Yi's words and looked around quickly. When he saw that no one was paying attention to this place, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Jia, today is a happy day for the whole country, let’s not talk about those unpleasant things. Xiao Shilian wants to separate Jia Yi’s attention.
Oh, yes, yes, I'm complaining again, we're still not talking about state affairs, not state affairs... Brother Xiao, are your two little girls named Ah? Jia Yi smiled
Not named yet, please ask Brother Jia to give me a suggestion. When Xiao Shilian saw that Jia Yi stopped talking about the emperor, he let go of his nervous heart for the time being
Two brothers, why are you talking about so speculative? Before Jia Yi could answer Xiao Shilian’s question, a voice rang out first.
Jia Yi and Xiao Shilian turned around and saw that there were three people coming, all of whom were ministers in the court, and they were friends who usually got along with them.
The person who spoke was Zhang Hui, who was appointed as the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and was in charge of the extremely confidential documents issued directly by the emperor; the other was named Lu Ran, who was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Privy Council, and was appointed as the second-rank official, who was responsible for military and state affairs, military defense and border preparation, and the guards' squads directly imprisoned soldiers, recruiting and reviewing the matters of relocation and relocation of garrisons and rewards; the third person was named Gao Bing (jing), who was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Du Branch Office, and was in charge of the national financial affairs.
These three people were also wet, their faces were covered with raindrops, and they looked at them with a smile.
Brother Xiao is happy to have two beauties today, and it is time for the rain to come, but it is really a happy couple. Jia Yi bowed to the people and said
Oh, then you have to congratulate Brother Xiao for being young and promising, and married another lady like a flower and jade. Now he has given birth to two daughters, which is really gratifying! Zhang Hui said with a smile
Brother Zhang said it right. The empire was in a drought, but the birth of Brother Xiao’s two daughters caused a heavy rain, which solved the disaster of the empire. Maybe Brother Xiao’s two daughters were really the little dragon girl sent by the Dragon King of the Sea. Gao Yang also said with a smile.
Lu Ran was a little older and had the highest official rank. He looked around vigilantly, then gently patted Xiao Shilian on the shoulder and said softly: Congratulations to Brother Xiao for his two beauties. They brought precious rain to the empire, and hoped that they could make the empire peaceful and prosperous forever
Xiao Shilian felt that there was something in Lu Ran's words, and he hurriedly asked: Brother Lu, listen to your words, it seems like something is going to happen to the empire.
Lu Ran looked at Xiao Shilian, then turned to Zhang Hui and others, shook his head, and said nothing.
Brother Lu, if you need help, just tell me, brother, I will do my best to help you. Don’t even believe me? Xiao Shilian asked again anxiously
Brother Xiao, don’t be anxious, Brother Lu’s words are just not easy to speak... Brother Lu, Brother Xiao and I have already talked about it. He is our own people and can be believed. Jia Yi spoke.
Xiao Shilian looked at Jia Yi for some reason and asked: Is it also about the emperor... Before he finished speaking, Lu Ran waved his hand suddenly, interrupted Xiao Shilian's words, looked around nervously, and then let out a long sigh.
Brother Lu, what happened, why are you so nervous? Xiao Shilian was a little angry with Lu Ran's rudeness and asked with an angry face
Brother Xiao, please forgive me. Brother Lu was just cautious. Zhang Hui spoke at this time: We are not good to disclose the details here. We will slowly tell Brother Xiao in the future, just ask Brother Xiao to pay attention. The emperor's personality seems to be very different from before. Brother Xiao should also pay attention to his words and deeds.
The emperor's personality has changed? Why didn't I notice it? Xiao Shilian felt a little confused
You only pay attention to the sufferings of the people all day long and rarely contact the emperor. Of course you can't find it
Zhang Hui said
Xiao Shilian thought about it carefully and indeed, since he became the Minister of Works, he has been inspecting various prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties in the empire all day long, and has investigated and solved the people's problems with local officials. He has not been in the capital for long.
Even the pregnant wife can't take care of her, let alone meet the emperor all day long
But in Xiao Shilian's mind, the image of the emperor has always been wise and powerful, and he could not believe that the emperor would change.
He asked again: How could the emperor change? You must have made a mistake
Brother Xiao, you have to believe our words, we also know that when the emperor just inherited the throne, he was indeed a good emperor. He cared about the sufferings of the people and listened to the suggestions of the ministers. The Han Empire became increasingly powerful as a result... But that was all in the past
In recent years, the emperor suddenly became stubborn, very happy with merit, and even a little ruthless... Two days ago, because of the conquest of Japan, the emperor removed Liu Shiyi and Liu from his official position. He was punished for forty in court, and his whole family was sent to the northern border! Gao Bing said
Ah! After hearing what Gao Feng said, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but exclaim
Liu Shiyi was an old minister during the period of the late emperor. He was appointed as the chief censor and was also a minister who dared to offend his eyes and directly advised him, but he did not expect that he would end up like this
What did Brother Liu do? Xiao Shilian asked
It wasn't because the old thief Jiao Fang, the father of Empress Jiao Fang, heard that the attack on Wa Country was also the one who persuaded Empress Jiao to instigate the emperor and now he kept praising the emperor in public in court, such as wise decision-making, such as bravery, and the holy emperor of the ages... When the emperor was happy, he rewarded him a lot of money and goods, and even enthroned him as the Minister of the Secretariat in court... At this point, Jia Yi paused for a while and looked at Xiao Shilian without saying anything.
Xiao Shilian knew what Jia Yi meant. The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat was one of the emperor's closest ministers. He was an official who was specialized in drafting edicts for the emperor. Although he was only a fourth-rank official, he was a position that could control the emperor's countless secrets and ideas. It was very important.
If a kind-hearted person gets this position, there is no big deal, but if the position is stolen by a person with a bad mind, it may be very bad.
In the previous dynasty, someone tampered with the emperor's edict without authorization, which almost caused chaos in the empire.
With the lessons of the past, later emperors and loyal ministers attached great importance to the candidates for this position and tried to choose a loyal, trustworthy and reliable person.
Then what kind of person is Jiao Fang? Xiao Shilian asked
Hum, bent on the brink of the flames, flattery, extravagant desire, speculation, villain with bad intentions, Zhang Hui commented disdainfully
As a censor who supervises all officials in the court, Brother Liu came forward to oppose the emperor's appointment of Jiao Fang in court.
Jiao Fang was already infamous in the capital. Yu Shishi Liu had already grasped many facts about him doing evil and bullying men and women. In the past, because he was the queen's biological father, a relative of the royal country, and did not serve as a high-ranking official, he just opened his eyes to him. Now the emperor actually appointed him as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. Brother Liu strongly opposed it... Jia Yi paused for a moment.
With the emperor's current personality, refuting his resolution in public will definitely make him angry. Lu Ran interrupted
Brother Lu said right, the emperor changed his face at that time, but he had not yet got angry in court. After all, Brother Liu is a veteran of two dynasties, and he has always been loyal to the emperor, the emperor suppressed his anger and announced his withdrawal from the court. This matter will be discussed tomorrow.
In fact, this is giving the emperor a step forward, and I hope Brother Liu can retreat when he sees the difficulties. Jia Yi said
We were all in the court that day, and it was really a sweat for Brother Liu. When we saw the emperor announce his resignation, we were relieved. Brother Jia and I hurriedly pulled Brother Liu to discuss countermeasures. We would definitely not let Jiao thief steal that position, but we were unwilling to make the emperor lose his majesty. Finally, we discussed it. The next day, we tried to follow the emperor's wishes and let Jiao thief be a living sector and other positions. Although he was also one of the emperor's close ministers, he was only responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds, which was not a key position. Gao Bing continued to say that
Alas, it's a pity that things went against my wishes. Jia Yi sighed and continued
It is estimated that the night that Queen Jiao said a lot of bad things about Brother Liu in front of the emperor, and the Jiao thief was also a scheming person. The next day, the court did not develop according to the situation we discussed... Brother Liu, who is upright, fell into the trap of Jiao thief without knowing it, and moved from discussing the position of Jiao thief to discussing whether the war to fight against Japan was correct.
Hearing this, Xiao Shilian felt something was wrong
This war was determined by the emperor himself and was led by Ah, and it was a war in which he won a great victory and made a career. The emperor always used this to show off his correct decisions and mightyness.
If the war is denied or even questioned the correctness of the war, isn’t that a question of the emperor’s decision and the emperor’s decision?!
Xiao Shilian already knew that Liu Shiyi had escaped, and it was already very lucky that he had not been beheaded.
However, Xiao Shilian always had a question in his heart: Why did the imperial army defeat his old enemy, the Japanese army, and arouse so many opposition?
And the opponents are actually upright ministers who are as loyal to the emperor as they do?
...After hearing Brother Liu's objection, the emperor was furious and slapped hard on the dragon table. He wanted the guards to drag Brother Liu down the hall and we were panicked. He quickly knelt down and asked the emperor to forgive Brother Liu in anger and drove us all out of the hall. However, he also gave up the idea of killing Brother Liu.
In the end, the emperor sentenced Brother Liu to the court forty poaches, and the whole family was sent to the northern border, and they would never be hired... Alas, Brother Liu, such a strong man, was so heartbreaking that he was so cruel that he was so cruel that he was left home by a treacherous minister. Jia Yi said sadly.
That day we went to the prison to visit Brother Liu. He was already ragged, with flesh and blood, and was dying... He was already in his sixties, but he suffered this fate. How could our emperor become so cruel? Zhang Hui said painfully
Okay, there are many people here, so we should not say too much about our task is to defend our country and ensure peace and stability. No matter what difficulties and obstacles we encounter, we must persist in this. But now it seems that we must pay attention to the methods and methods. We cannot confront Jiao Zhe and others head-on. We must not only assist the emperor, but also protect ourselves... Let's find another place to discuss the specifics. Lu Ran said
After breaking up with several friends, Xiao Shilian slowly walked back home.
What they said shocked and painful him, but it was more of a confusion.
He didn't believe that the emperor he worshiped would be such a person
But he believed that these friends of his are all upright people, they will not lie to him, they must be the truth.
It seems that they are all the Jiao thief. All the changes in the emperor must be caused by the Jiao thief. Xiao Shilian made a judgment.
I must do my best to restore the emperor to his original state! I must fight the thief to the end! On the way home, Xiao Shilian kept making such a decision
Back in the room, the lady was hugging the two babies beside her and looking at them happily.
The baby girl's eyes have not opened yet, but it can be seen from the slight movements on their faces that they are not sleeping, and they even seem to be smiling.
The delicate skin occasionally moves slightly, but it attracts the sweet laughter of their mothers
Look at you, you are soaked. Go and change your clothes quickly. Don’t get sick after being wet. Seeing that your husband is back, the wife said considerately.
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it would be better not to let the wife know about the affairs of the court.
Xiao Shilian's face showed a smile again. He took off his wet top, found a piece of cloth to wipe his upper body clean, and then couldn't wait to carry both daughters.
Husband, be careful, don't drop the water droplets on your hair on your daughters. The lady said nervously
My good wife, do you know what I am afraid of? They all say that our daughter is not an ordinary person, but a little dragon girl sent by the Dragon King of the Sea. Now I feel more and more that my two little babies are two little gods. Xiao Shilian looked at her daughter with a smile and couldn't help but kiss them.
Bah, you think it's too beautiful. Mrs. Ah said coquettishly
She was very happy after hearing what her husband said
By the way, my husband, I let you think about the names of your daughters. Have you thought about Ah?
Oh, I forgot about this matter. Mrs. Xiao Shilian smiled embarrassedly
You Ah, think about Ah quickly. Mrs. Ah didn't blame her husband, but smiled at her and said with a sweet smile.
Boom... Suddenly another extremely loud thunder sounded, as if it was on the roof of the Xiao family's house
Then the dark sky became brighter due to the heavy rain, and the sky actually cleared
Before Xiao Shilian could react, he realized that colorful sunlight was shining into the room.
Master, Master, it's clear, the rainbow is coming! A little maid ran in with jumping and said excitedly
What's so exciting about a rainbow? Such a heavy rain, of course there will be a rainbow after the rain.
Xiao Shilian looked at the little maid with a smile, but thought about it disapprovingly.
He walked out of the house slowly with his two little daughters in his arms, hoping that they would see the first ray of sunshine since their birth
It's indeed a stunning rainbow worthy of it!
In the blue sky, two colorful rainbows spanning the sky emitted brilliant light
The fresh air after the rain flutters with the fragrance of flowers, and all kinds of beautiful birds jump onto the branches and chirp. The earth looks vibrant again under the watering of the rain.
My little baby, it seems that you are really two little dragon girls. The precipitation is so timely and appropriate. On behalf of all the people of the empire, I thank you. Xiao Shilian kissed his two daughters with warmth.
At this moment, he suddenly believed that these two newly born daughters were two little gods, and were given to him by God. He was determined to cultivate them well so that they could make the greatest contribution to the people of the empire.
Xiao Shilian slowly raised his head, wanting to take a good look at these two precious daughters again. However, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: the two babies who had just been born for a few hours actually opened their eyes at the same time!
A faint smile appeared on their faces, and the four black little eyeballs turned vibrantly, giving away clear and deep gazes around. The end of their eyes was actually the two beautiful rainbows.
Madam, the baby opened his eyes. Xiao Shilian rushed to the lady's bed with his daughter in his arms and said to the lady excitedly: They must be the little gifts given to me by God. They are the little dragon girl at the bottom of the sea, and the rainbow fairy in the sky. They are called Hongni! My sister is called Ruohong and my sister is called Ruoni.
Ruohong...Ruoni... It sounds really nice to be my husband, so let's settle it like this. The lady said happily.
Meanwhile, in another luxurious residence in the capital
A bloated, fat and big-eared middle-aged man was saying to another thin middle-aged man with a titty figure and a treacherous face: Big brother, my subordinates have come back to report to me. The few people who are together today include Zhang Hui, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Lu Ran, deputy history of the Privy Council, Gao Yang, deputy envoy of the Duzhi Department, Xiao Shilian, deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, and Jia Yi, chief censor.
These guys are again, Hum, I'm so fucking full, I'm fine. Ah, you said we have no grudges with them, what do they always do to us? Hum, one day I will deal with them! Clash, haha, let them get together more, we will find more evidence, and sue them for a clique conspiracy, so that they can't eat, so they can take care of them! Hahaha, the thin man said with a slight smile.
My father said very well, if they dare to go against us, they are simply seeking death! One day, I will leave their bodies without a single body! Another tall and fat young man said
Feng'er, how is the guy named Liu? The thin man turned his head towards the young man
Dad, all the soldiers who escorted them were solved, including the soldiers who escorted them, and all the soldiers were solved. We disguised ourselves as bandits, and first solved fourteen soldiers, and then the family named Liu. The young man said viciously.
Oh? Tell uncle how you solved Ah from the family surnamed Liu? The fat man said to the young man
That's not simple: I first ticacca two times and cut off the heads of the father and mother named Liu. The two old guys are in their 80s and have no value for playing. They are considered cheap. Seeing his parents' heads moving, the one named Liu wanted to rush over and fight with me. How could I make it so easy for him to finish the game! I ordered someone to tie him and his wife, his son, daughter-in-law, his daughter, and his granddaughter to the tree stump, and then my specialty started...
When the young man said this, he smiled proudly at the fat man, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
The fat man was actually scared by the young man's smile and his back became cold, and his legs were trembling...
Outside the house has become a sea of people. People hugged each other, celebrated, and shouted loudly. There were cheers everywhere, like the creation of the world and the shaking of the mountains.
Xiao Shilian looked up to the sky and opened his mouth in the heavy rain. The raindrops quickly hit his body. His skin fell into his mouth again, bringing a trace of imperceptible pain, but he no longer cared about it.
He was extremely excited: It was finally raining!
The people are saved!
Xiao Shilian let out a long sigh, feeling a little proud
He finally did not let down the emperor's love for him. It was raining and the drought was slowing down. He didn't need to resign.
This is not only a kind of liberation for himself, but also a kind of liberation for the emperor.
His long-term career life made him know that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, and the weather will be good. If the drought is not relieved, the people may rebel, and the country will definitely be in turmoil.
Brother Xiao, congratulations! A voice came from behind Xiao Shilian. He quickly turned his head and saw that the person coming was Jia Yi (yi)
The Censor Zhongcheng is a deputy chief of the Censor Taichung, the supervisory institution of the Han Empire. He is half a rank lower than the Minister of Works. He is a second-rank official rank.

Especially this Jia Yi, he is even more upright and has strict law enforcement. If he becomes stubborn, even the emperor will give him three points.
However, Xiao Shilian is not afraid of Jia Yi, but the two are still very good friends
It is precisely because birds of a feather flock together. Both of them are upright people, both are loyal to the emperor and caring for the people, so they often drink and drink tea together and talk about national affairs together.
Seeing that my good friend was soaked in heavy rain that he was like a chicken falling from the ground, Xiao Shilian also smiled and said to Jia Yi: Brother Jia is in his forties, but he is also devoted to the country and the people. Celebrating with the people in such heavy rain is really a model for our officials. However, Brother Jia also needs to pay attention to his health, after all, he is no better than a young man.

Xiao Shilian opened his eyes wide and looked at Jia Yi. He did not expect that his good friend would say such a ruthless thing, and he quickly looked around and said to Jia Yi in a low voice: Brother Jia, how dare you say such words!
That's Ah who was the emperor personally expedition! Fortunately, I told my brother. If others listened, be careful to send you to prison! Besides, that Japan is an enemy of the Han Empire for generations. Is it wrong to attack them?
Brother Xiao, don't worry, Japan is the empire's feud. I don't deny that this is just war that makes people suffer, their families are destroyed, their country is decayed, and their society is in turmoil. It's really not a good thing! I have always insisted that people don't offend me, I don't offend others. If people offend me, I will offend others. This principle of exchanges between countries, even if it is like a beast country like Japan, we should treat them with this principle... Japan has not harassed the Han Empire for a long time, and this expedition has some unknown divisions. Jia Yi sighed
Brother Jia said it was good, but since it was determined by the emperor, we should support it as ministers! Our emperor is also considered a wise ruler of the king, so he will naturally consider what he does. And hasn’t he also solicited the opinions of many ministers? Xiao Shilian said
Alas, Brother Xiao, this is exactly what I think is strange and worried about.

Alas, forget it, let's not talk about it, it is a very disrespectful crime to argue about the emperor... But how could the emperor become so cruel now?
Jia Yi still couldn't help but say what he was in his heart
Brother Jia! Xiao Shilian was startled by Jia Yi's words and looked around quickly. When he saw that no one was paying attention to this place, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Brother Jia, today is a happy day for the whole country, let’s not talk about those unpleasant things. Xiao Shilian wants to separate Jia Yi’s attention.
Oh, yes, yes, I'm complaining again, we're still not talking about state affairs, not state affairs... Brother Xiao, are your two little girls named Ah? Jia Yi smiled
Not named yet, please ask Brother Jia to give me a suggestion. When Xiao Shilian saw that Jia Yi stopped talking about the emperor, he let go of his nervous heart for the time being
Two brothers, why are you talking about so speculative? Before Jia Yi could answer Xiao Shilian’s question, a voice rang out first.
Jia Yi and Xiao Shilian turned around and saw that there were three people coming, all of whom were ministers in the court, and they were friends who usually got along with them.
The person who spoke was Zhang Hui, who was appointed as the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and was in charge of the extremely confidential documents issued directly by the emperor; the other was named Lu Ran, who was appointed as the deputy secretary of the Privy Council, and was appointed as the second-rank official, who was responsible for military and state affairs, military defense and border preparation, and the guards' squads directly imprisoned soldiers, recruiting and reviewing the matters of relocation and relocation of garrisons and rewards; the third person was named Gao Bing (jing), who was appointed as the deputy envoy of the Du Branch Office, and was in charge of the national financial affairs.
These three people were also wet, their faces were covered with raindrops, and they looked at them with a smile.
Brother Xiao is happy to have two beauties today, and it is time for the rain to come, but it is really a happy couple. Jia Yi bowed to the people and said
Oh, then you have to congratulate Brother Xiao for being young and promising, and married another lady like a flower and jade. Now he has given birth to two daughters, which is really gratifying! Zhang Hui said with a smile
Brother Zhang said it right. The empire was in a drought, but the birth of Brother Xiao’s two daughters caused a heavy rain, which solved the disaster of the empire. Maybe Brother Xiao’s two daughters were really the little dragon girl sent by the Dragon King of the Sea. Gao Yang also said with a smile.
Lu Ran was a little older and had the highest official rank. He looked around vigilantly, then gently patted Xiao Shilian on the shoulder and said softly: Congratulations to Brother Xiao for his two beauties. They brought precious rain to the empire, and hoped that they could make the empire peaceful and prosperous forever
Xiao Shilian felt that there was something in Lu Ran's words, and he hurriedly asked: Brother Lu, listen to your words, it seems like something is going to happen to the empire.
Lu Ran looked at Xiao Shilian, then turned to Zhang Hui and others, shook his head, and said nothing.
Brother Lu, if you need help, just tell me, brother, I will do my best to help you. Don’t even believe me? Xiao Shilian asked again anxiously
Brother Xiao, don’t be anxious, Brother Lu’s words are just not easy to speak... Brother Lu, Brother Xiao and I have already talked about it. He is our own people and can be believed. Jia Yi spoke.
Xiao Shilian looked at Jia Yi for some reason and asked: Is it also about the emperor... Before he finished speaking, Lu Ran waved his hand suddenly, interrupted Xiao Shilian's words, looked around nervously, and then let out a long sigh.
Brother Lu, what happened, why are you so nervous? Xiao Shilian was a little angry with Lu Ran's rudeness and asked with an angry face
Brother Xiao, please forgive me. Brother Lu was just cautious. Zhang Hui spoke at this time: We are not good to disclose the details here. We will slowly tell Brother Xiao in the future, just ask Brother Xiao to pay attention. The emperor's personality seems to be very different from before. Brother Xiao should also pay attention to his words and deeds.
The emperor's personality has changed? Why didn't I notice it? Xiao Shilian felt a little confused
You only pay attention to the sufferings of the people all day long and rarely contact the emperor. Of course you can't find it
Zhang Hui said
Xiao Shilian thought about it carefully and indeed, since he became the Minister of Works, he has been inspecting various prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties in the empire all day long, and has investigated and solved the people's problems with local officials. He has not been in the capital for long.
Even the pregnant wife can't take care of her, let alone meet the emperor all day long
But in Xiao Shilian's mind, the image of the emperor has always been wise and powerful, and he could not believe that the emperor would change.
He asked again: How could the emperor change? You must have made a mistake
Brother Xiao, you have to believe our words, we also know that when the emperor just inherited the throne, he was indeed a good emperor. He cared about the sufferings of the people and listened to the suggestions of the ministers. The Han Empire became increasingly powerful as a result... But that was all in the past
In recent years, the emperor suddenly became stubborn, very happy with merit, and even a little ruthless... Two days ago, because of the conquest of Japan, the emperor removed Liu Shiyi and Liu from his official position. He was punished for forty in court, and his whole family was sent to the northern border! Gao Bing said
Ah! After hearing what Gao Feng said, Xiao Shilian couldn't help but exclaim
Liu Shiyi was an old minister during the period of the late emperor. He was appointed as the chief censor and was also a minister who dared to offend his eyes and directly advised him, but he did not expect that he would end up like this
What did Brother Liu do? Xiao Shilian asked
It wasn't because the old thief Jiao Fang, the father of Empress Jiao Fang, heard that the attack on Wa Country was also the one who persuaded Empress Jiao to instigate the emperor and now he kept praising the emperor in public in court, such as wise decision-making, such as bravery, and the holy emperor of the ages... When the emperor was happy, he rewarded him a lot of money and goods, and even enthroned him as the Minister of the Secretariat in court... At this point, Jia Yi paused for a while and looked at Xiao Shilian without saying anything.
Xiao Shilian knew what Jia Yi meant. The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat was one of the emperor's closest ministers. He was an official who was specialized in drafting edicts for the emperor. Although he was only a fourth-rank official, he was a position that could control the emperor's countless secrets and ideas. It was very important.
If a kind-hearted person gets this position, there is no big deal, but if the position is stolen by a person with a bad mind, it may be very bad.
In the previous dynasty, someone tampered with the emperor's edict without authorization, which almost caused chaos in the empire.
With the lessons of the past, later emperors and loyal ministers attached great importance to the candidates for this position and tried to choose a loyal, trustworthy and reliable person.
Then what kind of person is Jiao Fang? Xiao Shilian asked
Hum, bent on the brink of the flames, flattery, extravagant desire, speculation, villain with bad intentions, Zhang Hui commented disdainfully
As a censor who supervises all officials in the court, Brother Liu came forward to oppose the emperor's appointment of Jiao Fang in court.
Jiao Fang was already infamous in the capital. Yu Shishi Liu had already grasped many facts about him doing evil and bullying men and women. In the past, because he was the queen's biological father, a relative of the royal country, and did not serve as a high-ranking official, he just opened his eyes to him. Now the emperor actually appointed him as the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. Brother Liu strongly opposed it... Jia Yi paused for a moment.
With the emperor's current personality, refuting his resolution in public will definitely make him angry. Lu Ran interrupted
Brother Lu said right, the emperor changed his face at that time, but he had not yet got angry in court. After all, Brother Liu is a veteran of two dynasties, and he has always been loyal to the emperor, the emperor suppressed his anger and announced his withdrawal from the court. This matter will be discussed tomorrow.
In fact, this is giving the emperor a step forward, and I hope Brother Liu can retreat when he sees the difficulties. Jia Yi said
We were all in the court that day, and it was really a sweat for Brother Liu. When we saw the emperor announce his resignation, we were relieved. Brother Jia and I hurriedly pulled Brother Liu to discuss countermeasures. We would definitely not let Jiao thief steal that position, but we were unwilling to make the emperor lose his majesty. Finally, we discussed it. The next day, we tried to follow the emperor's wishes and let Jiao thief be a living sector and other positions. Although he was also one of the emperor's close ministers, he was only responsible for recording the emperor's words and deeds, which was not a key position. Gao Bing continued to say that
Alas, it's a pity that things went against my wishes. Jia Yi sighed and continued
It is estimated that the night that Queen Jiao said a lot of bad things about Brother Liu in front of the emperor, and the Jiao thief was also a scheming person. The next day, the court did not develop according to the situation we discussed... Brother Liu, who is upright, fell into the trap of Jiao thief without knowing it, and moved from discussing the position of Jiao thief to discussing whether the war to fight against Japan was correct.
Hearing this, Xiao Shilian felt something was wrong
This war was determined by the emperor himself and was led by Ah, and it was a war in which he won a great victory and made a career. The emperor always used this to show off his correct decisions and mightyness.
If the war is denied or even questioned the correctness of the war, isn’t that a question of the emperor’s decision and the emperor’s decision?!
Xiao Shilian already knew that Liu Shiyi had escaped, and it was already very lucky that he had not been beheaded.
However, Xiao Shilian always had a question in his heart: Why did the imperial army defeat his old enemy, the Japanese army, and arouse so many opposition?
And the opponents are actually upright ministers who are as loyal to the emperor as they do?
...After hearing Brother Liu's objection, the emperor was furious and slapped hard on the dragon table. He wanted the guards to drag Brother Liu down the hall and we were panicked. He quickly knelt down and asked the emperor to forgive Brother Liu in anger and drove us all out of the hall. However, he also gave up the idea of killing Brother Liu.
In the end, the emperor sentenced Brother Liu to the court forty poaches, and the whole family was sent to the northern border, and they would never be hired... Alas, Brother Liu, such a strong man, was so heartbreaking that he was so cruel that he was so cruel that he was left home by a treacherous minister. Jia Yi said sadly.
That day we went to the prison to visit Brother Liu. He was already ragged, with flesh and blood, and was dying... He was already in his sixties, but he suffered this fate. How could our emperor become so cruel? Zhang Hui said painfully
Okay, there are many people here, so we should not say too much about our task is to defend our country and ensure peace and stability. No matter what difficulties and obstacles we encounter, we must persist in this. But now it seems that we must pay attention to the methods and methods. We cannot confront Jiao Zhe and others head-on. We must not only assist the emperor, but also protect ourselves... Let's find another place to discuss the specifics. Lu Ran said
After breaking up with several friends, Xiao Shilian slowly walked back home.
What they said shocked and painful him, but it was more of a confusion.
He didn't believe that the emperor he worshiped would be such a person
But he believed that these friends of his are all upright people, they will not lie to him, they must be the truth.
It seems that they are all the Jiao thief. All the changes in the emperor must be caused by the Jiao thief. Xiao Shilian made a judgment.
I must do my best to restore the emperor to his original state! I must fight the thief to the end! On the way home, Xiao Shilian kept making such a decision
Back in the room, the lady was hugging the two babies beside her and looking at them happily.
The baby girl's eyes have not opened yet, but it can be seen from the slight movements on their faces that they are not sleeping, and they even seem to be smiling.
The delicate skin occasionally moves slightly, but it attracts the sweet laughter of their mothers
Look at you, you are soaked. Go and change your clothes quickly. Don’t get sick after being wet. Seeing that your husband is back, the wife said considerately.
Xiao Shilian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it would be better not to let the wife know about the affairs of the court.
Xiao Shilian's face showed a smile again. He took off his wet top, found a piece of cloth to wipe his upper body clean, and then couldn't wait to carry both daughters.
Husband, be careful, don't drop the water droplets on your hair on your daughters. The lady said nervously
My good wife, do you know what I am afraid of? They all say that our daughter is not an ordinary person, but a little dragon girl sent by the Dragon King of the Sea. Now I feel more and more that my two little babies are two little gods. Xiao Shilian looked at her daughter with a smile and couldn't help but kiss them.
Bah, you think it's too beautiful. Mrs. Ah said coquettishly
She was very happy after hearing what her husband said
By the way, my husband, I let you think about the names of your daughters. Have you thought about Ah?
Oh, I forgot about this matter. Mrs. Xiao Shilian smiled embarrassedly
You Ah, think about Ah quickly. Mrs. Ah didn't blame her husband, but smiled at her and said with a sweet smile.
Boom... Suddenly another extremely loud thunder sounded, as if it was on the roof of the Xiao family's house
Then the dark sky became brighter due to the heavy rain, and the sky actually cleared
Before Xiao Shilian could react, he realized that colorful sunlight was shining into the room.
Master, Master, it's clear, the rainbow is coming! A little maid ran in with jumping and said excitedly
What's so exciting about a rainbow? Such a heavy rain, of course there will be a rainbow after the rain.
Xiao Shilian looked at the little maid with a smile, but thought about it disapprovingly.
He walked out of the house slowly with his two little daughters in his arms, hoping that they would see the first ray of sunshine since their birth
It's indeed a stunning rainbow worthy of it!
In the blue sky, two colorful rainbows spanning the sky emitted brilliant light
The fresh air after the rain flutters with the fragrance of flowers, and all kinds of beautiful birds jump onto the branches and chirp. The earth looks vibrant again under the watering of the rain.
My little baby, it seems that you are really two little dragon girls. The precipitation is so timely and appropriate. On behalf of all the people of the empire, I thank you. Xiao Shilian kissed his two daughters with warmth.
At this moment, he suddenly believed that these two newly born daughters were two little gods, and were given to him by God. He was determined to cultivate them well so that they could make the greatest contribution to the people of the empire.
Xiao Shilian slowly raised his head, wanting to take a good look at these two precious daughters again. However, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: the two babies who had just been born for a few hours actually opened their eyes at the same time!
A faint smile appeared on their faces, and the four black little eyeballs turned vibrantly, giving away clear and deep gazes around. The end of their eyes was actually the two beautiful rainbows.
Madam, the baby opened his eyes. Xiao Shilian rushed to the lady's bed with his daughter in his arms and said to the lady excitedly: They must be the little gifts given to me by God. They are the little dragon girl at the bottom of the sea, and the rainbow fairy in the sky. They are called Hongni! My sister is called Ruohong and my sister is called Ruoni.
Ruohong...Ruoni... It sounds really nice to be my husband, so let's settle it like this. The lady said happily.
Meanwhile, in another luxurious residence in the capital
A bloated, fat and big-eared middle-aged man was saying to another thin middle-aged man with a titty figure and a treacherous face: Big brother, my subordinates have come back to report to me. The few people who are together today include Zhang Hui, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Lu Ran, deputy history of the Privy Council, Gao Yang, deputy envoy of the Duzhi Department, Xiao Shilian, deputy minister of the Ministry of Works, and Jia Yi, chief censor.
These guys are again, Hum, I'm so fucking full, I'm fine. Ah, you said we have no grudges with them, what do they always do to us? Hum, one day I will deal with them! Clash, haha, let them get together more, we will find more evidence, and sue them for a clique conspiracy, so that they can't eat, so they can take care of them! Hahaha, the thin man said with a slight smile.
My father said very well, if they dare to go against us, they are simply seeking death! One day, I will leave their bodies without a single body! Another tall and fat young man said
Feng'er, how is the guy named Liu? The thin man turned his head towards the young man
Dad, all the soldiers who escorted them were solved, including the soldiers who escorted them, and all the soldiers were solved. We disguised ourselves as bandits, and first solved fourteen soldiers, and then the family named Liu. The young man said viciously.
Oh? Tell uncle how you solved Ah from the family surnamed Liu? The fat man said to the young man
That's not simple: I first ticacca two times and cut off the heads of the father and mother named Liu. The two old guys are in their 80s and have no value for playing. They are considered cheap. Seeing his parents' heads moving, the one named Liu wanted to rush over and fight with me. How could I make it so easy for him to finish the game! I ordered someone to tie him and his wife, his son, daughter-in-law, his daughter, and his granddaughter to the tree stump, and then my specialty started...
When the young man said this, he smiled proudly at the fat man, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
The fat man was actually scared by the young man's smile and his back became cold, and his legs were trembling...
