Chapter 131: Entering the Palace and Facing the Saint
Wearing jade algae on the head, there are two out of ten, and the front and back are extended. Dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, embroidered with a soaring five-clawed golden dragon, symbolizing his noble status as the Ninety-Five Supreme.
Puyang Lu sat on the dragon chair, with the majesty of the gods, which was intimidating, and the whole person exuded the aura of a king who shocked the world. He pursed his lips slightly, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he had been disturbed by something.
Can you imagine what he was doing now with a stick of incense?
A stick of incense before, in the Hanguang Palace, he and his concubine (Concubine Xiao Hanlian) you and I are about to enter the next step, when Gonggong Su came to report, Hechuan County, Xinghua Village, and Jipinli are asking to see.
sue the royal court, this is still unexpected by Puyang Lu. He thinks that he is a German political country, and now the Southern Xia country is peaceful and peaceful, the people have enough food and clothing, and the Manchu Dynasty is also conscientious. Earlier this morning, the ministers reported the people's situation one after another, and the whole country praised him for his Puyang deer. How much grievance is it that you came all the way to the palace to sue the royal court?
Pu Yanglu looked at the courtier kneeling in the center of the court, who was a little familiar but couldn't remember his name, and waited for his next step. If he can't say something big, and sue the emperor for some trivial things, then he will be finished.
"Weichen Hechuan County, Xinghua Village, Jiupin Li is Fuze, knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Fuze didn't dare to look up at the emperor, knelt tremblingly, and kowtowed nervously, for fear that if he accidentally made a mistake, his head would be gone.
"Jiupin Li is blessed?" Pu Yang Lu tried hard to recall the name, but in the end he still didn't remember. I didn't think of Fuze, but Puyang Lu probably knew which place he was, and said, "Hechuan County, the county order there is Lord Li Mengdeli, right?"
"Back to the emperor, yes. Fukuzawa was careful and careful every word he said, worried that the emperor would be angry if he was not satisfied.
Xinghua Village in Hechuan County is not very close to Nanyang City! This morning, Li Mengde also played a performance, saying that the people in the area under the jurisdiction of Hechuan County live and work in peace and contentment. Why did you turn your head and come from Xinghua Village, Hechuan County? (The complaint here just means that Fukuzawa came to complain to the emperor.) )
"I heard, do you have something to do?" Pu Yanglu's face darkened, and he said in a deep voice. (Southern Xia Statute: Only officials above the ninth rank can participate in the early dynasty, excluding the ninth rank.) )
Fukuzawa's hand clenched the fold and paper he had written, thinking of the villagers in Xinghua Village who were waiting for his good news, he suddenly had the courage, "Go back to the emperor, yes." ”
"Bold Fuze, as a courtier of Southern Xia, don't you know that the laws of Southern Xia prohibit officials from reporting to higher levels?"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Fu Ze hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Weichen is guilty, he committed it knowingly, and Weichen deserves death." There was a reason for the incident, and Weichen had no choice but to ask the emperor for forgiveness. ”
"There is a reason for the incident, and it is a last resort...?" Pu Yanglu repeated Fu Ze's two sentences, and said: "So, you should tell me, what is the reason for the incident?" (Note: In the real sense, a civilian lawsuit requires a nail board. Because Fukuzawa is a Jiupin Lizheng, it is equivalent to reporting to a higher level, which is different from a real civilian complaint. )
Fukuzawa knelt on the ground, held a piece of music in both hands, raised it above his head, and said, "Please take a look at the emperor." ”
Puyang Lu saw that Fuze was holding a piece of music high, and instructed Gonggong Su who was standing on the side: "Little Suzi, present it to me." ”
"Chirp!" Su Gonggong responded, walked down to take the fold in Fu Ze's hand, and when he came back, he also raised the fold above his head and handed it to Puyang Lu, "Your Majesty..."
Pu Yang Lu took the fold and looked at Long Yan angrily.
The content of the recital roughly describes the three-year disaster situation in Xinghua Village, the people are hungry and cold, the people are struggling to make a living, and the villagers are fleeing in all directions, and their lives are in danger. and the fact that Fukuzawa repeatedly reported the disaster to the prefectural order, and the prefectural order not only turned a deaf ear but also withheld Fukuzawa's report to higher-level officials. Even, the county decreed that taxes were collected repeatedly year after year, and the people's fat and ointment were scraped, and all kinds of excuses were used to deduct Fukuzawa's due silver every month.
With a 'snap', the song was thrown to the ground by Puyang Lu, and when Gonggong Su and Fuze saw this, they both lowered their heads and didn't dare to make a sound.
Hechuan County reported only one famine three years ago, and I distributed a large number of relief materials to the relief. You are now telling me about the three-year disaster in Xinghua Village?" Pu Yanglu couldn't suppress his anger, he knew that if Fuze didn't lie, it would be Li Mengde's audacity, deception, and self-enrichment!
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what Wei Chen said is absolutely not true, and I ask the emperor to learn from it! Xinghua Village is surrounded by Xiao Ran, and there is no one to stand on, and the villagers are fleeing in all directions. Some of those who remained in the village had died of starvation, those who had fled to other villages were uncertain, and those who could leave had fled, and now all those who remained in the village were old, weak, sick and disabled, except for a few young and middle-aged people who stayed behind to take care of the elderly and children. The newborn child had no milk to drink, her mother cut her finger and fed it blood, and the old woman said that after she starved to death, the villagers ate her flesh. Fukuzawa said that his eyes turned red, because three years ago, his wife also died of hunger and cold.
"Your Majesty, most of the young men in Xinghua Village have joined the army, and they don't know that their wives and daughters are in danger of dying at home, and they sing the song of 'the food at home is out early, and the wild vegetables in the mountains are exhausted'. Fukuzawa is incompetent and has failed to benefit one party. But please ask the emperor to be aware of everything and save Xinghua Village from fire and water. If Fukuzawa has half a sentence, he is willing to die to apologize!" Fukuzawa finally finished speaking, and put his head on the ground, already with tears in his eyes.
Puyang Lu listened to the thunder and anger, and almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth: "Chuan Hechuan County Commander Li Mengde is here!"
……
The palace was bustling, and on the other side, Ye Chen pulled Lin Ling to prepare to go back to Yayuan. Lin Ling pouted all the way and ignored Ye Chen. I used to see that the palace was on TV, and I finally had a chance to enter the palace to open my eyes, but who knows, Yechen didn't let her follow Fuze in.
"Obviously, we have already sent him to the gate of the palace, why don't we go in with him? Maybe we can help him talk, and besides, we can also see the legendary palace compound!" Lin Ling complained and followed behind Ye Chen, feeling extremely uneasy!
"Send him to the gate of the palace, and trust him to do the rest. And we have more important things to do. Ye Chen said seriously. Had she forgotten what they had come here for? He was going to find time to give her the antidote and check the wound on the right side of her face! What's more, when she entered the palace, she wore the title of 'Precious Princess', and there would be more and more things.
