While looking for food on Fangyu Mountain, it was thousands of miles away from Jiaoling County where he was.

Great Chu Palace.

Inside Chaoyang Hall.

Chu Zhi, the third generation emperor of Chu wearing a black and gold dragon robe, was sitting on the dragon chair, propping his face with one hand, rubbing between his brows helplessly, and listening to the report of the courtiers below.

The first one to come out was the Minister of the Ministry of Households——Liang Yiliang Situ Zoubao. He held a jade kui and bowed to the Emperor of Chu before saying loudly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the amount of tax paid for this spring harvest has dropped significantly compared to last year. As far as I know, the Geinfengnan area has been in drought for more than three months. Now most of the grain fields are dead due to the drought. The county magistrate of Fengnan reported that there are signs of famine in several counties. The minister has obtained evidence and confirmed that the report is true. Therefore, I implore His Majesty to order to reduce the tax in Fengnan and open warehouses to release grain, so as to ensure that the victims can survive the drought smoothly. "

Liang Situ eloquently reported the content of this memorial to Chu Zhi in an orderly and clearly structured manner. His speech was fluent, and his tone was very bright. He obviously knew the content of the memorial well.

After hearing this, Chu Zhi put down his hands, straightened his lower body, and asked a serious tone.

"Where is the famine now?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Yongtai County, Changyuan County, and Liutong County in the Fengnan area have been drought-stricken for three months, and the fields are dry. According to the astronomical observation, this disaster is coming in a menacing way, if we don't make preparations in time, we are afraid that there will be endless troubles."

Liang Situ answered fluently. He knew the situation of the disaster best in his heart. He even went to Yongtai County to observe the situation of the disaster in person. That's why he was so clear.

After hearing Liang Situ's words, before Chu Zhi could speak, his second prince, who is also the present prince, Chu Longcheng returned with a smile.

"Liang Situ is serious. I will tell my father that my son already knew about the disaster situation before this. What's more, the previous disasters were also handled by my son. The arrangements of all parties, my son's I know best that although the disaster is fierce, I firmly believe that under the guidance of my father, there will be no problems. I implore my father to hand over the disaster to my son, and I will do my best. For the father, share the worries of the Chu country!"

I saw Prince Longcheng wearing a black gold python robe, standing on the lower half of the dragon chair, standing up and cupping his hands facing Chu Zhi, Lang Lang said.

This Prince Longcheng has heroic brows, upright spirit, sharp lips and sword eyes, and extraordinary bearing.

When people see it, they feel that this person must be upright and upright.

It's a good image of the future prince.

Chu Zhi's eyes showed approval, and he was quite satisfied with his performance as the prince.

Thinking of the disasters that he had dealt with several times before, the means were not bad, and did not cause too many troubles, so he made up his mind.

"Okay, since the emperor has such a benevolent heart, I will agree, and the disaster in Fengnan will be handed over to the East Palace to deal with it."

Chu Zhi smiled cheerfully, and talked with Prince Longcheng about his father's kindness and son's filial piety.

But Liang Situ at the bottom seemed hesitant to speak. He gritted his teeth and was about to speak out, but seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the crown prince and the emperor, he bowed dejectedly in the end, and responded in a deep voice. .

"Minister! Follow the order!"

Then sadly retreated to court.

As soon as Liang Situ retreated, Pang Chun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, held up Yugui and bowed, and said loudly.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the current year's sacrifice is coming soon. Kang Guo sent a special envoy to present a good document, and intends to send the sixth princess of Kang Guo to Chu State to observe the ceremony, in order to convey the meaning of good relations between the two countries. I hereby congratulate Your Majesty Shengming, congratulate Long live the Chu Kingdom without bounds!"

Speaking of which, Pang Zongbo bowed down on the ground as if he was pushing down a mountain.

When he knelt like this, other members of the imperial court also knelt down one after another, clasped their hands together on the ground, touched their foreheads to the backs of their hands, and congratulated loudly.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the Kingdom of Chu for longevity!"

Chuhuang Longyan was very happy, this news was indeed a very happy news for him, he immediately forgot about the disaster just now, and after laughing out of joy, he opened his mouth to speak.

"My dear friends, please, the state of Chu is so majestic, it is all thanks to the support of the pillars of the court!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone thanked him one after another, they got up, and then saw Prince Longcheng winking at Pang Chun.

Pang Chun nodded slightly, bowed his hands again, and said.

"Your Majesty, this visit to the ceremony is related to His Majesty's holy face, and it is also related to the face of our Chu court. It is of great significance. It is about the etiquette and treatment of the special envoys of Kang Guo."

When Pang Chun said this, he didn't continue talking, but just lowered his head slightly, as if asking for instructions.

Emperor Chu was also amused to see it, reached out and nodded Pang Zongbo, and said with a smile.

"You old slicker, you still play tricks here. The etiquette and treatment of Kang Guo's special envoy are all treated according to the etiquette of Zhengyipin, and they are uniformly applied for from the treasury."

When Emperor Chu said this, Liang Situ immediately jumped out. He lowered his head slightly, his face was a little ugly, and he said with a little anxiety.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the treasury has spent too much money in the treasury, and the tax has not been charged to the treasury recently, and the disaster relief needs to be paid out of the treasury. I believe that the simplicity of etiquette can demonstrate the majesty of our Chu State."

As the steward of the country's money bag, he is well aware of how much silver is in the treasury. The state of Chu seems to be full of flowers, but only he knows that in recent years, he has been unable to make ends meet. He has repeatedly advised the emperor of Chu , to reduce non-essential etiquette expenses.

However, this Minister of Rites is the prince's elbow, and every time he mentions it, the prince will speak from the sidelines, a lot of superficial words, which made Chu Huang smile from ear to ear, and finally the matter will be settled .

But how could Liang Yi not know that most of the etiquette expenses were just for the first time, and all the actual money was collected into the East Palace.

Now, the East Palace is going to repeat the same old trick, using etiquette as an excuse to once again enrich its private pockets from the state treasury, how can this not make him uncomfortable? !

The disaster that I saw in Yongtai County a few days ago is still vivid in my mind, but the Emperor Chu didn't pay much attention to the disaster before even attending a ceremony.

Thinking of this, Liang Yi had the urge to quit Yugui.

But finally held back.

Once Yugui fell, not only would he be unable to do it, but he would never have to do it in this life.

It is possible to bump into the holy driver face to face, or go directly to the prison.

"Hey! Liang Situ's words are wrong. If everything is kept simple, Kang Guo will see it as a joke. As a country with great etiquette, how can we be so hasty?"

Just a simple sentence from the crown prince made Chu Huang nod his head again and again.

Liang Yi looked aggrieved, and really wanted to just say, "No money! Get out!"

But it was just thinking about it, and in the end he sighed, said "the minister leads the decree" and shrank back.

For a while, he felt a little discouraged.

"What else do you love to report?"

Today's morning court is destined to be very lively. As soon as the Emperor Chu's voice fell, Xing Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, also appeared.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is an urgent news report from Xiliang. In recent years, a new court king has emerged from the Dawan clan in the Xiliang Plain. Wan Ting Wang, and this Xin Ting Wang is suspected of disobedience, the Xiliang Palace hopes that the court will allocate a batch of food and grass to prepare for the needs of the war."

Hearing this news, Emperor Chu frowned instantly, and Prince Longcheng who was beside him also suddenly retreated into silence.

"The heart of disobedience?!"

Chu Zhi's original cheerful expression instantly subsided, and his whole temperament suddenly reversed in an instant. The overbearing temperament that had been in the high position for more than 30 years immediately plunged the entire Chaoyang Palace into a terrible silence.

"It's just that a group of Xiliang scoundrels still think of disobedience?? Is this how the king of Xiliang guards Xiliang?"

At this time, Chu Zhi was like a fierce tiger whose beard had been touched. He had always been extremely sensitive to such words that challenged his status.

"Pass down my decree, allocate food and grass, what about Tingwang and county kings, tell Changwang's mansion that there can only be one king in the entire Xiliang!"

Chu Zhi slapped the armrest with his palm, and the courtiers below knelt down skillfully again and shouted.

The so-called companion is like a tiger.

The emperor had to kneel when he was happy, he had to kneel when he was unhappy, and he had to kneel when he was bored, anyway, that was all.

"Your Majesty calm down!"

Xing Yu below also echoed cautiously.

"Minister! Receive the decree!"

After finishing speaking, he continued to lower his head and remained motionless.

Chu Huang was silent for a while, and when he felt that it was about the same, he spoke.

"Okay, get back on your feet~"

After all, the courtier said "Thank you, Lord Long En" and then stood up one after another. Everyone was obviously very skilled in the whole process.

Afterwards, there was nothing serious about it, and after listening to their nagging for a while, Emperor Chu directly drove back to court.

After the emperor left, the courtiers below also left one after another together.

Only when Liang Yiliang and Situ walked out of the Chaoyang Palace, he looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, suddenly a little dazed.

In today's court meeting, he originally planned to ask His Majesty to hand over the matter of disaster relief to him, but he did not expect that the crown prince would jump out midway, and within a few words, the matter would be settled.

If the crown prince was sincere in handling it, he wouldn't pay too much attention to it.

But the problem is that as early as in his in-depth investigation, he had faintly discovered that the handling of the previous disasters was not simple.

Although there are not many clues, according to some clues, the disaster relief food issued by the imperial court was indeed distributed to various disaster areas, but the disaster situation in the disaster area has not improved at all!

The direction of the food after it was distributed was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any record.

And some areas that were originally severely affected by the disaster have already become no man's land!

All the disaster victims just disappeared!

According to reports from local government offices, some of these disaster victims have moved to other counties, but no detailed data can be found in the population registers of the counties.

However, there are some records that they encountered the disaster of robbers, and after escaping, they could not be counted and became mountain people.

These records seem reasonable, but when you think about it, it makes people chill!

After all, tens of thousands of these victims disappeared for no reason, but the report presented by the prince did not reflect it at all.

Moreover, as far as he knows, every time a disaster occurs, there will be a sect of the "Spiritual Bishop" who will appear to give porridge relief.

But according to the information he investigated, this bishop was just a Taoist temple, where did he get so much food?

Moreover, according to the rumors obtained by some of his informants, this spiritual bishop seems to use food to buy people on a large scale. Every time he appears, a large number of children of victims of the disaster will be bought by him as goods, and then disappear.

It's just that this rumor didn't spread too much for some reason, and a lot of information and clues were cut off for no reason, and there was nowhere to check.

Liang Yi didn't know who this was, but all of this was definitely related to Donggong.

Until now, he suddenly remembered that the previous minister, his mentor, Tang Yannian and Tang Situ, obviously at the most proud time, suddenly retired due to illness. Those who didn't know thought it was true, but only he knew , Don't mention how good my teacher's body was at that time.

Can cook three bowls of rice a day!

It's just that his acting skills are so good, if he didn't see Tang Yannian on the bed with sunken eye sockets and a look of old age, he got up and ate two big cakes, and cheerfully asked him to eat with him, he would have Do not believe!

He still doesn't know how the teacher hid the certificate issued by the imperial physician!

At this moment, Liang Yi suddenly remembered what his mentor said at that time.

At that time, he didn't care about it, and he didn't understand many things very well, and he didn't realize it, but now it seems that he suddenly understands a little bit.

Looking at the clear sky with the sun hanging high in front of them, everyone thought it was a good weather.

In fact, for Yongding Capital City, this weather is a good one.

However, once this weather is placed in the Fengnan area, it will be a nightmare for all ordinary people.

In a daze, he remembered that he asked Mr. Tang why he recommended himself to take his place.

At that time, Elder Tang said it as it should be.

"Because you are my student~"

Liang Yi didn't answer, because he knew that this reason was not enough.

"Therefore, I want to give you the opportunity to take a good look at this land and this Chu country."

At that time, Liang Yi thought that it was Elder Tang who saw the hidden ambition in his heart, thinking that Elder Tang was trying to pave the way for him, so he knelt down excitedly and kowtowed to Elder Tang several times.

It was when he saw the teacher smiling and not saying a word. He thought it was expectation.

Looking back now, he suddenly felt as if that wasn't what he understood.

He suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

However, he suddenly remembered that his teacher had said something to him at that time.

"When you see it, come back to me"

That's what he thought, this was the teacher admonishing him, telling him to go to him after fulfilling his ambition.

For this reason, in the past two years, he worked conscientiously in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

I wanted to meet the teacher after I made a big achievement.

Then it dragged on until now.

But now, he suddenly remembered the possible real meaning of this sentence.

Maybe it's time for me to meet my teacher.

Well, Dayan is also a business writer, not a history major, and if there are mistakes, I hope everyone forgives them~
