Chapter 239: Fighting for errands

Liu Zhao sat on top of the court, looked at the ministers and said, "Today, I want to discuss the matter of relief." Listen to the opinions of the audience. ”

He Chang said: "Your Majesty, these days, the courtiers think about this matter the most, the natural disaster is caused by **, the minister feels that this is related to the emperor's favor of the demon girl, and the chaotic ministers and thieves below are greedy and filthy, I ask the emperor to kill the demon girl, and use her blood to sacrifice to the sky, and the heavens will definitely descend on Ganlin." ”

Liu Qing came out of class at this time and said: "Your Majesty, Lord He is talking nonsense, and what kind of demon girl is chaotic is his villain's opinion!" ”

Huangmen Shilang Yin Yi came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't believe in any demon girls, the emperor's six palace concubines are all favored by the emperor, which one is a demon girl." Since it is a natural disaster, it should be solved by manpower, what nonsense is **, I think he doesn't think about people's livelihood. ”

"Well, that's good!" Liu Zhao stroked his palm and said: "I and Qing thought together!" He Chang! As an important minister, what is your intention to insult my concubine? ”

He Chang said: "Your Majesty, as soon as the demon girl enters the palace, things will happen frequently in the palace, and disasters will follow one after another outside the palace, does it have nothing to do with her?" ”

Situ Lugong came out of the class and said: "Lord He, you mean Deng Guiren, the minister has never seen Deng Guiren himself, but he has seen her father Deng Xun, this person is upright, treats people very well, and has meritorious service in the frontier affairs. Zaidu Deng Guiren can handle frontier affairs in an orderly manner at a young age, it seems that he is a virtuous person, and it is a bit far-fetched for you to say that this demon girl. I heard that Deng Guiren is jealous because of his beauty, so it is normal for the harem to be a little jealous and messy, how can it be said that it has something to do with her? Besides, I heard about the locust plague of that year. When the emperor was at a loss, it was Deng Guiren who reminded him at the time, and he saved tens of millions of surnames, such a virtuous person, but you said that he was a demon girl, I think what you said is difficult to convince. ”

Li He has been promoted to Guanglu Doctor, and he laughed and said, "Your Majesty." What Lord Situ said is reasonable. But today's matter is how to deal with this once-in-a-century drought, rather than discussing whether Deng Guiren is a demon girl. Lord He is a little off topic. ”

He Chang looked around. No one came out to support him, and he sighed and said, "Demon girl, I only blame me for being soft-spoken, and I can't put you to death." ”

Liu Zhao said angrily: "When Sui'er entered the palace that day. You say she's a witch, and you're a good person to talk about. What did she do to make you hate it so much. Are there still few people who have been framed in the name of demons in history? I think you're the one who is fooling the crowd, so get out of here. ”

Li He said: "Your Majesty." The minister felt that it was urgent to send capable people to raise food funds to help the need. ”

Liu Zhao said: "Shaofu." Can my country's treasury still be full of win? ”

Shaofu Liu Cheng came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, there is a lot of silver in the national treasury. It's just that the affected area is too large, and it involves the grain problem of the other three seasons, and this year's harvest will be lost. ”

Liu Zhao looked at Li He and asked, "What advice does Master Li have?" ”

Li He said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that just taking money is just a way to save the emergency, but it is not a long-term plan. The minister has a way, but he doesn't know if it is feasible or not, the emperor can ask Dasi Nong to send someone to verify and investigate, if it is feasible, in summer, autumn and winter, there can be a way to save it! ”

Liu Zhao asked, "What method?" ”

Li He said: "Jizhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou are not a place of water shortage, since the bitter river veins and horizontal, this spring when the river was opened, there was also a flood, so if after the relief, open a canal to divert water into the field, you can also replant a crop with a short growth period, and there will be no harvest in autumn." ”

Liu Zhao was overjoyed, "This method is very good, Dasi Nong, you send people to various places to investigate, do a good job of measurement, if it is feasible, you can carry out disaster relief at the same time." ”

Liu Qingdao: "Your Majesty, who will be sent to the disaster relief now, the minister recommended Lang Zhongling Deng Qiu, he is old and serious, has the family style of his father, not only capable, but also fair!" ”

The servant Mo Xiang said: "Your Majesty, although Deng Qiu is the commander of Zhonglang, but he is too pedantic, the minister thinks that it is more appropriate for Wu Fang to wait for Yin Gang, first, he is the queen's father, and he will not do anything unfavorable to the court." Second, he has made great contributions to the court, and he has never taken credit. Moreover, he was courteous and cordial. He has worked as a palace clerk at all levels, and has some knowledge of agriculture, taxation, and finance. If such a person doesn't go, who can go?"

Liu Zhao was moved by what he said again, he was wearing a court dress embroidered with red edges on a black background, his footsteps stepped on the clear brick ground, seeing that Mo Xiang was still kneeling on the ground, he hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking about what he wanted to say, and walked around.

"Get up." Then he pointed to the ministers and said, "Tell me, and I will listen." He looked into the open space outside the temple, not knowing what he was thinking.

The ministers discussed it, but no one spoke again, Liu Zhao saw that no one spoke, and said lukewarmly: "I think, you are more tired than me these days." The days are getting warmer day by day, but there are no crops in the dry land, and the urgent reports are one after another, but you have thoughts, 'walking around' with each other, stringing up and getting angry, have you already thought about who to choose? ”

Liu Qing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are busy taking care of the money and grain treasury in various places these days, and solving the affairs of Beijing, and now there is a spring drought after the spring flood, and the ministers are dispatching disaster relief food from all over the country, and now there is still a difference of 500,000 stone grain, so I am anxious, and I haven't slept for a few nights." ”

Liu Zhao looked at his brother, who was only two years older than him, thanks to him in the court, although he should have been a pampered prince at home, but because of his commitment to himself back then, he is now sick. He said: "Brother has worked hard, and the minister knows that the imperial brother has never had anything to do with the people in the court. I really don't want that. Come on, give the prince of Qinghe a seat! He looked at the ministers, and his face fell, "As far as I know, you have been divided into two factions, one supporting the family of Queen Yin and the other supporting Deng Guiren's family, I am not wrong!" ”

Mo Xiang said: "The minister thought that the emperor must choose one of the two, and the others did not have a suitable candidate. There is no suspicion of partiality! ”

"What do you think!" Liu Zhao snorted, "How many times did I say that it must be chosen between the two of them?" One sentence made everyone stunned, as if the air was pressed tightly, and everyone couldn't breathe. The guards and eunuchs inside and outside saw that the emperor had lost his temper again, everyone shuddered and changed color, and even Liu Qing shuddered smartly, moved uneasily, and didn't know whether he should sit or kneel.

Mo Xiang swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Your Majesty, this is the negligence of the ministers. Since the emperor wants to be selected among the hundred officials, the ministers will discuss it! ”

"You're negligent! You're shrewd! Otherwise, why is there a yin character written on the wat board for everyone to read? Zhou Rong! ”

Zhou Rong waited at the door, hurriedly came in and stood with his hands down, and asked, "What is the emperor's will?" (To be continued)
