Su Jin didn't know whether he should run away, or grab this Zhao Zhen and play hostage-taking, but he heard Zhao Zhen continue: "Someone's coming......"

A female official stepped forward and stood outside the bead curtain and said, "The slave is here, what does the emperor command?" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at Su Jin, who was pale, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "Su Xuexue may have not eaten at noon, and the fire is more prosperous, so go and pour a bowl of lily lotus seed soup to let him quench his hunger and make a fire." ”

The female officer took the order and left, and after a while, a small bowl of soup came over with a small tray and put it in front of Su Jin; Su Jin didn't know what medicine was sold in Zhao Zhen's gourd, and when he saw the bowl of soup, the lotus seeds were three or two lilies and two pieces, and the whole clear soup was empty, and he secretly said in his heart: "This emperor is really picky, and he doesn't even have any ingredients for a bowl of soup." ”

Suddenly, I thought, "Isn't this a bowl of poisonous water?" The emperors on TV and movies like to give their subordinates to drink wine and soup or something, and as soon as the courtiers drink it, they will bleed and fall to the ground and die, are they going to die today? ”

Hesitantly, I only heard Zhao Zhen say: "Drink it, although there are not many lotus seeds and lilies in it, but when this is difficult, I can only entertain you with this." ”

Su Jin said in a deep voice: "Thank you to the emperor, the minister is not thirsty or hungry, the emperor will keep it and use it slowly." ”

Zhao Zhen sighed and returned to his seat and sat down, and said to Su Jin: "I really don't blame you for being rude to me, it's just that this matter is too strange, so I have to ask a few more words, the matter of Taizu's dream has never been the same since the death of Taizu, I am wondering, is there something wrong with me, Grandpa Taizu is here to remind me." ”

Su Jin saw that Zhao Zhen's tone softened, and he also looked down the stairs, and said: "What the emperor said is right, this matter is a little strange, even the grass people feel like they are in a dream, no wonder the emperor suspects." ”

Zhao Zhen looked at the desolate trees outside the window, and said lightly: "You will wake up in your dream and listen to me." ”

Su Jin knew that he still wanted to find out the flaw, so he carefully explained the things in the dream carefully, but when he described his appearance, he vaguely followed the portraits circulating in the market, and emphasized that the golden light was dazzling and could not be forced, and he did not dare to face it.

Zhao Zhen listened silently, sighed and said: "You are more blessed than me, Grandpa Tai has never even seen me, but you have seen it." ”

Su Jin didn't know what he meant, so he could only pretend to be dumb and silent; Zhao Zhen patted the handrail and said: "That's it, this is an auspicious omen, since the grandfather ordered you to make the words of the monument public, it was also because they made a fuss and alarmed his old man's heroic spirit, this matter ends here, there is only one, the grandfather dreams of you not because you are higher than others, but because of a coincidence, there is a case of a student in Tianfu, so the grandfather will come to overkill." ”

Su Jin hurriedly said: "That's nature, and the grass people still have this bit of self-knowledge." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Drink the soup, I have something important to talk about with you." ”

Su Jin knew that the danger was over, so he took the bowl and drank it dry in two sips, and put down the empty bowl with a click, Zhao Zhen said, "How does it taste?" ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Given by the emperor, it naturally tastes wonderful; However, there is too little material, and it is not enough to stuff the teeth. ”

Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly: "If you know that I am also barely getting through the palace with tight clothes and food, you will feel that some of them are already lucky." The meal reduction order was promulgated, and there were two meals a day in the palace, and the portion was insufficient, and everyone shouted that they were hungry. ”

Su Jin was surprised, he only thought that the meal reduction order was just Zhao Zhen's pretense, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to take the meal reduction seriously; Even the concubines, princesses, eunuchs and palace maids who followed the emperor were starving, if the emperor didn't say it himself, who could believe it.

Zhao Zhen looked outside and said, "Recruit Yan Aiqing to meet you." ”

Su Jin understood that the next thing to do was to talk about raising food.

With a bang, Yan Shu came quickly, and said loudly outside the house: "Chen Yan Shu came to see him by order." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "Come in, Yan Aiqing." ”

"Obey." Yan Shu lifted the curtain and entered, made a big salute outside the bead curtain, and walked inside.

Su Jin got up and saluted, and even Zhao Zhen stood up to show respect, and after giving a seat, Zhao Zhen asked with his head: "Yan Aiqing, how many of you have a way to deal with the matter of Yangzhou Mansion?" ”

Yan Shu said: "Lu Xiang and Du Shumi's main force is to suppress heavy troops and ammunition, and will not tolerate the rebellion of the mob. ”

Zhao Zhen said: "What do you think? ”

Yan Shu said: "The old minister thinks that Huairou should be right, after all, this matter is caused by a lack of food, and the minister is not speaking for the mob, but in fact, they are just ordinary people, and they have no food to eat, so they will naturally make trouble." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "How can you be gentle?" ”

Yan Shu said: "Originally, the old minister wanted to suggest that the emperor open a warehouse to sell grain, but it is understood that there is very little grain in Yangzhou's official warehouse, and officials of all sizes and local garrisons need grain and grass-fed, and the imperial court has transferred most of the supplementary military food, which is indeed powerless; The old minister is also worried about this matter. ”

Zhao Zhen's brows furrowed into a pimple, and he sighed: "Could it be that my Great Song Dynasty will not be able to escape this difficulty?" I have no regrets about external troubles, but I was defeated by this God? ”

Su Jin listened to it funny, and involuntarily snorted, Zhao Zhen and Yan Shu heard it in their ears, and they both looked at Su Jin angrily.

Su Jin was embarrassed to death, and hurriedly said: "The emperor forgives the sin, the grass people are not laughing at anyone, but they feel that something is wrong." ”

Zhao Zhen said: "What's wrong?" Yan Aiqing recommended you to be a food raiser, I haven't heard what you think, I might as well talk about it. ”

Su Jin glanced at Yan Shu, Yan Shu nodded and said, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of raising food, don't involve anything else." ”

Yan Shu didn't know the bottom of his heart, he wanted him to say what he thought yesterday, and everyone discussed and discussed, but this kid didn't know whether he didn't think about it or didn't want to say it, so he prevaricated when he was drunk, and he didn't come early in the morning to write down the steps according to his instructions and send them over.

Yan Shu was a little unhappy in his heart, but with his understanding of Su Jin, he knew that if this person was unwilling to speak, forcing him might be counterproductive, although he made up his mind to restrain him, but in the end, this person had nothing to do with him.

At this moment, the arrow is on the bow, and in front of the emperor, he has blown Su Jin into a dazzle and is extremely shrewd, so he can only pray that Su Jin has good words to offer, and never embarrass himself, everything depends on the destiny of heaven.

Su Jin thought for a while and said: "The emperor wants the grass people to say, and the grass people don't dare not speak, but if they say something wrong or offend someone, please ask the emperor for forgiveness, otherwise I won't say it." ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't cry or laugh, this kid didn't say anything and left the way back, the abacus beads knocked loudly, seeing that he seemed to have some ability, Zhao Zhen decided to agree to his request, there are three people here, the meaning of Su Jin's words is naturally to offend Yan Shu, and at this time he can only be wronged by Yan Shu.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Yan Shu, nodded and said, "Say it, I promise you, but don't attack others, and judge things according to facts." ”

Su Jin stood up and said, "Then I really said it." ”

Zhao Zhenwan smiled: "Say, don't delay our time." ”

Su Jin smiled and said, "The first thing the grass people want to say is about this 'meal reduction order'. ”

Zhao Zhen's ears pricked up, and he looked at Su Jin with a sideways face: "What's the matter, isn't the meal reduction order bad?" This is a time of food shortage, and isn't this order a way to save food to survive the famine? ”

Su Jin Zhengse said: "This is a small benefit, but there is a big harm; Getting a small profit and causing a big harm, this meal reduction is really ridiculous. ”

Zhao Zhen and Yan Shu's faces changed greatly, and Su Jin denounced the imperial decree as 'ridiculous', which was too rude, not to mention that this decree was personally thought up and promulgated by Zhao Zhen, so saying this is tantamount to slapping Zhao Zhen.

Yan Shu shouted in a deep voice: "Shut up, Huangkou Xiaoer is a fool, how can you casually talk nonsense about the court's plan?" Why don't you quickly kowtow and apologize? ”

Zhao Zhen sat on the chair with a pale face, and looked at Su Jin's eyes that became cold and sharp again.

Su Jin said: "I didn't say the reason before I said that I was guilty, yes, when I didn't say it, I made amends to the emperor, and I won't mention it again." ”

Yan Shu said angrily: "Why are you so unruly? In front of the emperor, is that where you talk nonsense? ”

Su Jin sneered: "Grandpa Tai allows people in the world to speak without being offended, how can the grass people become sinners without saying anything." ”

Yan Shu was extremely angry and speechless, this kid can make people angry to death when he speaks, but he recommended him again, if he says anything unruly, he will definitely not be able to get out of it, as soon as he thought of this, Yan Shu quickly got up and knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor forgives the sin, Su Jin is young and ignorant, and it is the first time to see the emperor, I am afraid that the words will not be decent, and I hope that the emperor will remember that he was born in the mountains, don't condemn him, the old minister will take him out and strictly admonish him." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and pulled the corner of Su Jin's clothes to ask him to kneel down to make amends, Su Jin stiffened his neck and didn't kneel, and Yan Shu, who was angry, rolled his eyes.

Zhao Zhen looked at the old man and the young in front of him, and suddenly felt very funny, one with a stubborn calf with his neck stalked, and the other knelt on the ground and was silent, and he didn't know what the relationship between the two was.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Yan Aiqing, get up, maybe he has his reason, let him talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, this meal reduction order is very good, don't listen to his nonsense." Yan Shu was extremely depressed and regretted.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor personally proposed this meal reduction order, it would not be a big deal for Su Jin to slander him casually, but this was a slap in the face to the emperor, this little idiot was killing himself, and he blamed himself for not telling him about these joints.

Yan Shu was extremely worried, kicked Su Jin's calf with his foot, and motioned him to say leisurely, Su Jin suddenly didn't realize it, and opened his mouth to count the drawbacks of the 'meal reduction order'.
