Being stabbed at the beginning! Summon the net to suppress the world

In the court, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed like water could drip out.

The chief eunuch of the Imperial Household Department stood quietly beside the dragon throne, expressionless.

Below the stage, officials dressed in court robes lined up neatly, all with their heads down, as silent as a cicada, not even daring to breathe.

They were afraid that the Emperor of Jin in front of them would vent his anger on them. After all, although it was a natural disaster, who wouldn't be angry when encountering such things?

After all, the emperor was equal to destiny. Does this natural disaster mean that the Emperor of Jin was not qualified?

After a long time, the Emperor of Jin finally broke the silence, his voice was cold and hard: "Changkong, you are the eldest prince, tell me, what should we do?"

The eldest prince stepped forward and bowed: "I think that Jiangzhou is suffering from the disaster and needs immediate disaster relief, and the warehouses should be opened to stabilize the grain price.

At the same time, more people should be sent to supervise the surrounding areas, and the locust plague must not be allowed to spread.

Also, those vendors who took the opportunity to drive up the grain price must be severely punished. In my opinion, they should be beheaded directly to set the record straight."

However, when the second prince heard the news, he seemed to be thinking about something in his heart, and said: "Father, I have something to report."

"Speak."

"In every dynasty, which dynasty did not suffer from this natural disaster. But since my father ascended the throne, the world has been peaceful and the people have lived in peace. Happy work.

The number of natural disasters is rare in all dynasties. This kind of grace has never been seen in all dynasties. This is a blessing for the people. "

The second prince flattered the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty first, and then said: "Locust plagues should occur in summer. Locust plagues are rare in autumn and are also small in scale.

Now the urgent report, the locust plague is so large and so large that it is not credible.

I am afraid that the people below will expand the disaster in order to get money from the Ministry of Revenue.

It is better for the son to check it out. If it is true, the Ministry of Revenue can open the warehouse to suppress the grain price.

If someone falsely reports the disaster, then he can also be brought back to the capital for his father to deal with. "

The second prince certainly understands what the current situation in Jiangzhou is like. It is probably difficult to have one-third of the grain in the granary.

It may be enough to use it for disaster relief and stabilize the grain price.

But if other people go to check, especially those from the eldest prince's faction, it will be easy to find out about this, and then he will be finished.

So after he flattered the emperor, he volunteered.

Of course, even the second prince and the minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who were in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, had greatly underestimated the courage of those people below.

"Well." The Emperor of Dajin listened to the words of the second prince and his expression eased a little.

But before the relaxation passed, a young eunuch beside Eunuch Hai hurriedly handed over a memorial.

Eunuch Hai did not dare to delay and handed it to the emperor with both hands.

The Emperor of Dajin frowned. You know, the source of this letter seems to be the Jinyiwei. What happened?

If it is not a big deal, handing a memorial in the court will never happen.

So the Emperor of Dajin opened the letter directly, and the content on it made him furious.

As soon as he saw it, he was furious and glared at the second prince and shouted, "Great, great, you're the one who took money from the Ministry of Revenue!"

When the emperor gets angry, millions of people die. Especially at this moment, the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty revealed a trace of dragon energy, which made the court officials unable to breathe.

The second prince was stunned by the sudden change in the tone and words of the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty. What happened?

However, he didn't even dare to ask, so he could only kneel down and bow his head to be scolded, but he kept thinking in his heart, what happened.

"Since you pretend to know nothing, then everyone listen, disaster relief, what can your Ministry of Revenue use for disaster relief!" After that, the Great Jin Emperor handed the letter to Eunuch Hai: "Read it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Eunuch Hai took it quickly, and was terrified when he saw the words on it, but his face did not change, and he still shouted in a shrill voice:

"Jiangzhou urgent report, Jiangzhou General Warehouse caught fire, all the grain was burned, and at the same time, Jiangzhou Warehouse Manager committed suicide out of fear of punishment."

Eunuch Hai's shrill voice was like an ice knife cutting through glass, making people's scalps numb and ears hurt.

Even the second prince didn't know that such a thing had happened below. It was obvious that the officials of Jiangzhou did it without telling the second prince.

Or, they had no other way.

The second prince also understood that these people probably couldn't even take out a little bit of food, so this happened.

Those people really hurt themselves.

"I really don't know, father, you are wise!" The second prince kowtowed desperately, not daring to use his internal energy to resist, and his forehead soon became red and swollen.

The eldest prince did not add insult to injury, but was kind-hearted as rumored, and said: "Father, we should consider how to provide disaster relief at this time. If the news of the fire in Jiangzhou is spread by the people, it may cause a disaster. I suggest that grain be transferred from Zhongyuan and Xiqiu to Jiangzhou to calm the people's hearts.. "

But everyone knows that it is too late.

Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, let alone such a large-scale disaster.

The emperor's eyes were wide open, and he slapped the armrest of the dragon throne and cursed: "Natural disaster? This is a man-made disaster! I thought I raised a good son!"

As if he had a stitch in the side, he coughed a few times and then stopped talking.

"Father, I have a good relationship with some small families in the south.

Why don't you let me persuade them with reason and emotion, and borrow grain from them, or buy their grain at a higher price.

This can alleviate some of the food crisis. "The fourth prince spoke when no one expected it.

Everyone's eyes were all on the fourth prince. You know, the fourth prince has never been liked by the emperor of Dajin.

Because he is too close to the martial arts world, especially some small families in the south, that is, in the Jiangzhou area.

But now he is willing to stand up for this, which makes everyone a little surprised.

After all, this damages the interests of those families, which is also damaging his own interests.

The fourth prince seemed to feel the gazes of the crowd, bowed and said: "It was that assassination that made me understand that the money you get is not brought in life, and you can't take it with you when you die.

It's better to do something for the world, for the people, and for my father.

I contacted those families just to get a reputation as a hero, and now is the right time. "

The fourth prince's words were rough, but they seemed to be sincere, which surprised everyone.

The emperor looked at him deeply, and there seemed to be a trace of relief in his eyes.

No matter what, this matter must not cause conflict between the first and second princes, and the princes with vested interests must go.

Otherwise, if the second prince goes to investigate, he will find nothing, and if the first prince goes to investigate, he may find everything.

The fourth prince's words seem to be a good choice.

But one person is not enough. In case of any conspiracy, I still have to find someone to watch him.

This is the emperor's self-feeling and suspicion, especially the fourth prince's actions seem to make sense, but actually deviate from his original route.

Thinking of this, he looked at the sixth prince Ji Chang'an and said: "Chang'an, since you are the head of the Zhenwu Division.

This matter is strange, and there may be actions set up by the martial arts forces to subvert our imperial power.

You go with your fourth brother, and the two of you help each other to find out the case and provide relief to the victims at the same time.

If it is related to the case, you can kill first and report later, and there must be no leniency! "

After saying that, he looked at the second prince again and said coldly: "You should reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors. When you find out clearly, we can talk about it again."

Eunuch Hai immediately understood the thoughts of the Emperor of Dajin and hurriedly said: "Withdraw the court."

Finally, he supported the Emperor of Dajin and went to the harem. The Emperor of Dajin finally couldn't help coughing and coughed a few times of blood.

Ask: "How is Hua Tuo?"

After leaving the court, the fourth prince and Ji Changan leaned against each other and looked at each other.

Both showed a meaningful smile.

"Sixth brother, it was my brother's fault in Zuihualou. I didn't expect that the two sects actually colluded with the Demon Cult. Please forgive me.

But this time, please give me more advice. "

"Nothing, what is the relationship between us brothers?

As a younger brother, I also had a problem. I was really scared at that time and didn't dare to let Zhao Gao leave my side, so that your guards would die tragically.

We still have to find out the matter of Jiangzhou and keep Jiangzhou safe. ”

“Yes, we brothers are united, and this matter can be resolved.”
