Princess Consort Is No Pushover

After Chu Xuanchen returned to Prince Li's mansion, he told Yun Ruoyue what happened in court today.

Yun Ruoyue was very moved when she heard that Taifu Han actually remonstrated with death.

She said: "Mr. Han is really courageous. He dared to remonstrate with death. This made me see the strength and integrity of a literati. I just didn't expect Emperor Hongyuan to be so stupid that he would be so obsessed with elixir."

Chu Xuanchen clenched his fists fiercely, "Nowadays, floods in the south of the Yangtze River, droughts in the northwest are frequent, and locusts are raging in the frontiers, but the emperor only knows how to make alchemy, doesn't care about the government, and doesn't think of ways to help the people. The people have no one to help them, and they can't eat. In the end, they had no choice but to become rogues. After becoming rogues, in order to survive, they robbed houses and robbed houses and committed crimes, which led to increasing turmoil in the country. But the emperor was addicted to wine and sex, and did not care about world affairs. If this continues, the situation will become more serious."

Hearing this, Yun Ruoyue was very worried.

She said: "If the emperor does not save the people, then we will find a way to save them, but there are too many people affected by the disaster, and our ability is limited. It is still necessary for the emperor to open the treasury and allocate funds for disaster relief."

Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Yes, no matter how powerful an individual is, it cannot be stronger than a country. Now the emperor can't listen to anyone's words, maybe Xuefei's words are a little bit useful. Yue'er, don't worry, I will let Xuefei advise Your majesty, let your majesty allocate funds for disaster relief."

"Okay, now we are also trying to find a way to raise funds for disaster relief, as much as we can save." Yun Ruoyue said.

"En." Chu Xuanchen took a deep look at Yun Ruoyue, and he knew he was right.

Yue'er has the world in his heart and the common people in his heart. Having such a lady is the greatest happiness in his life.

-

Early the next morning, Chu Xuanchen didn't have to go to court, so he took Mo Li to inspect the surrounding disaster areas.

As soon as he came to the court, Taifu Han took the lead in educating Emperor Hongyuan, persuading Emperor Hongyuan not to be obsessed with elixir anymore, and asked him to govern the country well and solve the current disasters and bandits.

Not only that, under the anger of Taifu Han, he also fiercely criticized Emperor Hongyuan in the hall.

He criticized Emperor Hongyuan for being "obsessed with elixir", "indulging in wine and sex", "extravagant and lustful", and "disregarding the people".

When Emperor Hongyuan heard these words, his seven orifices were filled with anger.

After he scolded Taifu Han angrily, he didn't even go to the court, and left the court early in anger!

Seeing this, all the ministers whispered and panicked.

Han Taifu and others were also very disappointed, but they would never give up, and they would keep admonishing them until Emperor Hongyuan corrected them.

Seeing this situation, Prince Rui had a cold look in his eyes, and he came to Emperor Hongyuan's Guangming Palace.

After entering Guangming Palace, Prince Rui saw that Emperor Hongyuan was drinking and having fun with a few concubines who had just entered the palace, he quickly raised his eyebrows, and said: "I will see my father."

Emperor Hongyuan gave Prince Rui a cold look, let go of the concubine in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, you are also here to persuade me, right?"

A trace of calculation flashed in Prince Rui's eyes, and then he put on a very sincere look, and said, "Father, you are not wrong, why should I persuade you?"

Emperor Hongyuan squinted his eyes and took a look at Prince Rui, seeing that Prince Rui looked pious and had a good attitude, he was not as annoying as Taifu Han and others, so he said to his concubines: "I have something to say to Prince Rui, dear concubine, you Everyone go down first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." After the concubines finished speaking, they quickly retreated.

After the concubines retreated, only Emperor Hongyuan and Prince Rui remained in the hall.

Seeing this, Prince Rui hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, don't be angry about what happened just now, lest the anger will ruin your body."

Emperor Hongyuan looked at Prince Rui tentatively, "Oh? Ruochen, what do you say about what happened in the hall just now?"

Knowing that Emperor Hongyuan was testing him, Prince Rui hurriedly said: "Taifu Han is simply rebellious, Father, you are the ruler of the country, how can he criticize you in public?"

Emperor Hongyuan saw that Prince Rui was partial to him, a trace of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He said: "You're right, Taifu Han, an old man, took the lead in accusing me because he was my teacher, and didn't take me seriously at all! But there are so many people who agree with him, this person is really annoying!"

As he spoke, he rubbed his eyebrows irritably.

A shrewdness flashed in Prince Rui's eyes, and he immediately said: "Father, please calm down. Think about it, just Taifu Han and others, how could they have such courage? My son suspects that someone is behind this incident, so they did it So daring."

Emperor Hongyuan looked at Prince Rui coldly, "You mean someone behind the scenes ordered Taifu Han?"

Prince Rui nodded: "It should be. When I left the court yesterday, my minister saw with his own eyes Taifu Han and others talking to Prince Li. They seemed to be familiar with each other."

Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes in displeasure, "Could it be that the person behind the scenes instigating Taifu Han is King Li?"

Prince Rui said: "I don't have any proof yet, but King Li is the most suspicious. Before that, Taifu Han always sided with King Li in the court, and even fought against his father because of him; in addition, Taifu Han was the most loyal old minister to the late emperor back then. Maybe Han Taifu still has the late emperor in his heart, he probably has been dissatisfied with you for a long time, so he joined the ministers to accuse you."

When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he felt a chill down his spine.

He narrowed his eyes coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said sharply: "This Han Bing is simply arrogant. I also heard that they often criticize me in private, saying that I am fatuous, harming the country and the people, and have been destroying my reputation!"

"All mouths make money, accumulate ruins and destroy bones, plus Han Bing's influence. If he continues to criticize like this, the general public will definitely be deceived by him, and they will think that I am a fool!"

Seeing Emperor Hongyuan's emotions being aroused, Prince Rui's eyes flashed a glint of complacency.

He nodded and said: "Father, Han Bing is simply uneasy and good-hearted, plotting evil. He took the lead in all this. We should kill the king before we capture the thief. As long as we kill Taifu Han, we can deter others, so that no one will be killed." Don't dare to criticize you again."

Emperor Hongyuan rolled his eyes viciously, "Kill one as an example?"

Prince Rui said: "Yes, and Royal Father, this matter has nothing to do with Prince Li. Now Taifu Han is already King Li's right-hand man, if they continue to unite, I'm afraid it will endanger your country."

"Father, you must get rid of the serious trouble as soon as possible, so as not to cause endless harm. Killing Han Bing will deter Chu Xuanchen and his followers, so that no one will dare to disobey Father."

Emperor Hongyuan grabbed the beard and said: "But Han Bing is very famous and admired by others. He has many disciples, and a bunch of pedantic students vassalize him. If I kill him directly, I'm afraid I will be criticized by the people of the world."

In fact, he was already dissatisfied with Han Bing.

He always wanted to kill Han Bing, but he was afraid of being cast aside by the world.

Prince Rui said: "Father, my son has a method, which can get rid of Han Bing, and the world dare not criticize Father."

Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes deeply, "Do you have a solution?"
