Chapter 111: Controlling the Water or Saving People
If it is handled properly, people will sing praises to the crown prince, which will undoubtedly deepen the emperor's jealousy of him and increase the estrangement between father and son.
It will make the emperor think that the recommendation of the imperial court that day was the result of the prince's secret operation, and the crime of forming a party for personal gain was implemented.
No matter what the outcome is, it will be Wei Jingyao and the other princes who are ready to move in the shadows.
"It can not only separate the relationship between the emperor and the prince, but also take the opportunity to make himself famous. ”
Xie Fuyao didn't mean to compliment, this was the true thought in his heart, thinking so, he just said that.
Since this bad idea was made by this king, this king naturally wants to do more for the people affected by the disaster. ”
Wei Jingyao smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he looked like a merry boy.
Since the last incident, Wei Jingyao has known that the matter of bringing down the prince cannot be delayed.
Now that he has set his sights on Xie Fuyao, no one knows what he will do next.
Although Xie Fuyao's plan is perfect, no one can guarantee that it is seamless, if someone finds out and tells the prince, Xie Fuyao's situation will be dangerous.
What will the angry prince do, even he figured out that for Xie Fuyao's safety, he must speed up the plan in his hand.
"Lord Wang, I just want to completely overthrow the crown prince, I'm afraid it's not enough to do this. Xie Fu's lips opened lightly, and his watery eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
"After all, the emperor and the prince have a deep relationship between father and son, and with the queen's mother, if the prince had not committed a heinous crime, the emperor would not easily make up his mind to abolish the prince. ”
"Oh, I don't know what this heinous sin means, what is Miss Xie's opinion?"
Wei Jingyao became interested for a while, half-squinted, and looked at the bright woman in front of him.
"Throughout the ages, what the emperor feared the prince the most was to covet the throne, and today's saint is no exception, if the prince touches this reverse scale, the emperor will not let him easily no matter what. ”
Xie Fuyao said methodically, in the last life, the crown prince was abolished because of the crime of coveting the throne, and since this is the case, he will let history repeat itself.
"That's the case, but how to make my father believe is not so simple, if you sit on the throne for a long time, you will become suspicious, and it is difficult for your father to listen to the words of ordinary people. ”
Wei Jingyao frowned, it's not that he hasn't thought about these things, but if he says less, it will have no effect, and if he says too much, it will arouse suspicion.
The emperor's sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and if he is not careful, he will set himself on fire and let himself end up in a secluded confinement.
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, others say a thousand words and ten thousand sentences, but they are not worth one thing that the prince does, prince, isn't the prince going to deal with the flood recently, this is our opportunity. ”
Xie Fuyao's tone was slight, anyway, the prince was already caught in the whirlpool of dealing with the flood, and he couldn't extricate himself, so he might as well push him again.
"Miss Xie mean, using the flood to make a fuss?" Wei Jingyao pursed his lips, instead of trying to start from elsewhere, it is better to take advantage of this ready-made environment.
"Recently, there has been a lot of rain, and many people say that it is a natural vision, and something big will happen. ”
In Xie Fuyao's mind, the words Ziyu said suddenly appeared.
"If something comes out at this time that shouldn't have happened, people will gladly accept it and attribute it to the will of God. ”
The corners of Wei Jingyao's mouth hooked, I am afraid that only she can come up with this kind of idea, the current situation is chaotic and mixed, it is a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
After careful investigation in the past few days, Wei Jingyao found that the number of people affected by the disaster was as high as 10,000.
They have no food, no shelter, and can only live on the streets, and trying to settle them is definitely a lot of money.
At present, the crown prince is pretending to lead the governor of the river to control the floods and dredge the waterways, and I am afraid that he has no leisure to take care of the lives of these people.
During this period of drainage and water control, the resettlement of the victims will be a major problem.
If these victims are left alone, it is easy to become a mob, and here is the sky at the feet, and if there is really any turmoil, the consequences will be unimaginable.
And Wei Jingyao also admitted that he couldn't do it, let them starve to death on the streets and ignore them.
But if it does, where does this money come from, the flood control has already cost a lot of money in the national treasury, and there is no extra money to settle these victims.
Xuanzheng Palace.
Zhongshu Ling and Shang Shuling, because of the matter of controlling water and saving people, were noisy in the court.
One believes, "Flood control is for the livelihood of the people, and the people must not be left to starve to death, but must use the money from the state treasury to open a warehouse and release grain." ”
Shang Shuling scoffed at this, "Using the money from the treasury to open a warehouse and release grain is a palliative rather than a cure, and allowing the flood to continue will only make more and more people affected." ”
He paced in front of Zhongshu Ling, "At that time, I am afraid that the treasury will not even have the money to control the flood, and if the flood is not completely cured, the people will not be able to really settle down." ”
"According to what you may say, if the treasury has money, the flood will be solved. Zhongshuling asked rhetorically.
"When will this be solved, to what extent, should you also give a correct word, you can't let these tens of thousands of victims wait outside. ”
Zhongshu Ling snorted coldly, his angry beard was ** up, and he was going to let Shang Shuling make a military order at the moment.
"This matter of controlling the water is the responsibility of the governor of the river, how does the old man know how long it will take to heal? Shang Shuling pursed his lips, his face flushed.
The emperor sat on the dragon chair, letting the two of them quarrel back and forth, looking at His Highness coldly, as if he was looking at all beings in the world.
"Okay, the two Aiqing are reasonable, whether it is to control the water or save people, it is urgent, the most critical problem is not enough silver, the treasury is empty, as long as there is silver, all this will be solved. ”
The emperor's eyes are as deep as a deep valley, and they are as calm as water in normal times, but once there is a wind, the whole valley will be turbulent, as if it can shake the clouds.
"Since Aiqing is my minister of the humerus, the so-called food of the king, the worry of the king, I don't know what you Aiqing thinks?"
The emperor's meaning is already very clear, Lao Tzu's treasury is now out of money, and he urgently needs silver taels for nothing.
There are so many of you, it is better for one person to contribute a little, and you will not have to spend so much money here.
