The eunuch smiled awkwardly and bowed as he spoke.
His Majesty was stunned for a moment and took back his hand that was holding a memorial. He put his hands under his sleeves and leaned back against the back of the chair. "Oh? Tell me about it."
"Your Majesty, according to His Majesty's orders, this servant only sends some broken food and drinks every day. Even the lowest-level servants in the Palace would not eat just cooked food. However, this Young Master Xiao eats it very well. Every time, he eats it cleanly. He also asks for more beans every time. "
"Beans?"
"Yeah, beans are the easiest to sour and stink. The smell they give off is like slop water."
"Does he like to eat them?"
His Majesty was a bit surprised.
The eunuch said: "This servant got the palace maid to ask him a question. At that time, he said: Although these things taste a bit worse, they are not bad people to eat. Moreover, the people in the world now can eat a mouthful of this. There weren't many left, so it was even more difficult to eat. He could not waste even a single drop. He said that this bowl of sour porridge alone... It can save one's life in the disaster zone."
"Hmph!"
His Majesty coldly snorted and said, "I'm afraid this kid is putting on a show, right?"
"Perhaps that's the case, but he also said..."
The eunuch wanted to say something but stopped himself.
"What else did he say?"
"He also said that this kind of porridge is very suitable for His Majesty to drink."
"Yes? !"
The corner of His Majesty's eyes twitched a few times as he scolded jokingly, "This fellow is just not forgiving with his words! To put it nicely, he's pure hearted, but to put it bluntly, he's stupid. He only takes advantage of his words, what's the use? "
"What His Majesty said is absolutely right!"
" He has not passed the test for so many days. He did not make a fuss, did he? "
"He did not cause any trouble. Not only did he not cause any trouble, he even lived a good life in the Palace of Water. He got up in the morning to train, then ate, took an afternoon nap, and started drawing on the ground in the afternoon. I also repaired some of the ruined places. "
"Hmm?"
His Majesty frowned and then laughed. "This guy is really a wonderful person."
Then he turned around and asked, "He doesn't have any complaints?"
"That's true, but he did say something that was neither positive nor negative."
“ Oh? What did you say?"
"Young Master Xiao said that time is the most important right now. One day earlier, we will have the advantage. One day later, there will be a price for one day later. He said that the world is not his world anyway. He was entrusted by others to protect the country, but he had already done what he could. As for the result, he doesn't care. "
"Doesn't matter? "
His Majesty snorted angrily and shouted, "I thought that by locking him up for a few days, he would be able to temper his character. If he really wants to, then write down some methods of governance. Let people pass it on to me. If I see it well... He would naturally let him out. Why would he do this? Is he wasting time with Zhen? "
The eunuch hurriedly drew his bow even deeper.
"Your Majesty, why don't you... bring Young Master Xiao out and ask him about the situation?"
"No need, let's cool him down for a few more days!"
His majesty snorted, then picked up a copy of the report he had read and said, "But how do you think this kid did it? Could he really be some martial arts master? The rebel general is really dead. It seems like that head is also real. "
At this point, His Majesty became happy again. He smiled and said," I originally thought that the rebel army would be difficult to deal with, but now they are in chaos. In just seven days, they have been retreating in defeat. In less than half a month. This is great! This is truly great! "
" This... "
The eunuch smiled with a smile, but he snorted in a low voice.
"What is it? Did he say something again?"
"Young Master Xiao did say something while chatting with the palace maids. What did he say? Even if it was to clear out the rebellion, it would only be a result. It was not the cause, the cause and effect needed to be clearly distinguished. If the cause is not resolved, then even though the rebellion is peaceful, the judgment of the heart is not fair. "
His Majesty's eyes twitched.
He sighed and said, "Then what can we do? The earth has caused such a huge natural disaster. I have already issued a decree of my own, but there is nothing I can do about the natural disaster. What can I do? Zhen can still produce food?"
His heart was filled with resentment, and he could not speak to others. Instead, he could speak a few words to the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch thought for a moment and then said probingly, "Your majesty, perhaps Young Master Xiao will have an idea. After all, this matter is right. Perhaps other things are also right."
"Ah, you trust him."
His majesty pushed the script in front of him and said, "You have seen it too. How many people want Xiao Yun's life now? If Zhen releases him, at that time the Imperial Court might be in chaos. Furthermore, Zhao Wuji had been beaten up and his arm was still unable to lift up. His throat was still hoarse. How could he swallow this? If Zhen lets Xiao Yun out, I'm afraid that he will die in less than two days on the streets. "
"Your majesty is right, but..."
The eunuch rolled his eyes and said, "In fact, as long as he gives some suggestions, with your intelligence and wisdom, you can naturally come up with a plan to deal with this situation!"
"Hm?"
His Majesty narrowed his eyes and smiled. "Is it really possible to do so?"
The eunuch was stunned.
He suddenly understood.
Actually, His Majesty had long wanted to do this, but no one mentioned it, so he was too embarrassed to ask.
The eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this servant will go and ask now."
"En..."
His majesty nodded, then sighed and said, " Sigh, I still have to think of a way to save Saint Xiao from these memorial books."
...
Xiao Yun naturally did not know that His Majesty had made a deal with him without him knowing.
The eunuch, on the other hand, dragged this matter out and told Xiao Yun about it.
Xiao Yun was stunned for a long time before he said with a bitter smile, "You should have given this idea to His Majesty earlier. In the end, I have been locked up for so long. I don't know if the people in the north will be able to return safely."
"People in the north?"
The eunuch asked curiously.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Don't tell me it's because of the rebellion. Have you all forgotten that there are many scions in the capital who are now trapped in the north?"
"This..."
The eunuch was shocked. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Xiao, tell this old servant the truth. Are there still many people left alive?"
Xiao Yun roughly calculated and said, "More than a hundred, about two hundred. There will always be some."
"There really are that many?"
When the eunuch heard this news, he was obviously not very happy.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "The expression, the expression is very important!"
" Oh!"
The eunuch hurriedly put on a joyful expression.
"Then Young Master Xiao, what should we do with this matter after the rebellion?"
Xiao Yun said, "The first thing to be solved is naturally the plague that will definitely appear in the future. The method I mentioned before is always correct. Secondly, we have to solve the problem of food. This kind of thing... In terms of opening the source and saving the food, I believe you have experience, but when it comes to opening up sources... I really need to think of a way for you."
"That's right!"
The eunuch said, "The most important thing right now is food. Once the food is little, how much chaos will it cause? This kind of thing is clear in everyone's heart. The key is that it might not be good!"
Xiao Yun stood up and walked out of the house. Looking at the sky, he sighed and said, "Calculating the time carefully, this locust disaster should be breaking out soon."
