And immediately, after dealing with these officials, he found many dog officials who were in collusion with the Taishou, including the inspectors whom the emperor trusted.

He threw them all into prison and raided their homes, good fellow, and all the silver added up to 100,000 taels.

It can be seen how much money they have embezzled that should have belonged to the treasury.

Situ Huaibo immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the court, writing everything that happened here on the note.

After the emperor read it, he was furious at first, and then after seeing Situ Huaibo's approach, he laughed loudly, "Second brother, second brother, you really have you." ”

Su Dexi also heard it, and he also laughed, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince has you in your heart." ”

Situ stroked his beard lightly and did not speak.

Su Dexi also shut up in amusement.

"By the way, didn't the second child say that those corrupt officials were sent by him? All of them were sent to Dali Temple, and they must be thoroughly investigated, and I want to see what kind of ghosts and ghosts they are. ”

While going out to do errands, Su Dexi underestimated in his heart, those people were sent to Dali Temple, and in this life, they were wasted.

The torture tools of Dali Temple, people who can be tortured cannot survive if they cannot die.

After Su Dexi left, Situ lightly threw the fold on the imperial case.

100,000 taels?

It seems that most of the taxes paid by the backers have gone into their pockets, which is really good.

The Emperor smirked.

Although the mountains and rivers are poor in floods, the floods have also made the land fertile, and the food produced is not only of high quality, but also in large quantities.

It is a well-known and wealthy place in the land of the Daling Dynasty.

But this time, the weather changed, after the heavy rain, the weather was suddenly cold, like winter, many people had not had time to make winter clothes, and most of the civilians were frozen to death.

And after the bitter cold, the plague spread, and many people couldn't eat enough, so there was still money to buy medicine to cure the disease? There are not a few who die of illness.

When Situ Huaibo came, he saw the people fleeing on the side of the road with sallow faces and empty eyes, as if they were about to die.

Situ Huaibo realized that the matter he should inherit was not so simple.

But now it's too late to regret it, and he can only go to other states and counties to transfer officers and soldiers and doctors.

But that's just a drop in the bucket.

Situ Huaibo was busy every day, but people died every day, and there were even people protesting at the gate of the yamen, and the officers and soldiers were desperately blocking them, and they could rush in.

If it weren't for the timely arrival of supporting officers and soldiers, there would have been a big mess.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Situ Huaibo, the second prince of the Daling Dynasty, don't worry, I will definitely help you through this crisis!"

"The Third Prince?" Everyone looked at this man, and the clothes on his body looked extremely valuable.

"How do we know if you're real or fake!"

Situ Huaibo's face darkened, could anyone still dare to pretend to be the prince of the dynasty?

He took a deep breath, and finally took out the token belonging to the prince from his waist, "This, it should be able to prove my identity." ”

The bright yellow token is not yet the size of a palm.

When everyone saw it, they didn't dare to talk back, and knelt down honestly one by one.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose."

Listening to the chorus of chanting, Situ Huaibo felt more comfortable.

He beckoned everyone to get up, and he said, "Don't worry, this king has already transferred grain and medicinal materials from other states and counties, and from tomorrow, at the gate of the yamen, open a warehouse to release grain, and those who are sick will also be treated here." ”

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is really a good person."

"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, you are a good official!"

The people wept.

Situ Huaibo's busy face turned pale, and when he heard the praise of the people, his face was better.

With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked towards the yamen.

"Your Highness, we don't have enough food or silver." Mu Lidao.

Situ Huaibo frowned, "If it's not enough, buy it, if you don't have enough silver, you will use the stolen money collected first." ”

"This—" Mu Li hesitated.

"Do as I say!"

"Yes." Mu Li left in a hurry, and Situ Huaibo returned to the office, he lay on the table and rested for a while.

After a few days of continuous rotation, he really couldn't stand it.

Situ Huaibo was busy dealing with the disaster, and another incident happened in the capital.

God has sent disasters one after another, and the people are spreading that it is said that the emperor has not established a prince for a long time, and the country has lost its foundation, so disasters have fallen.

There is also a minister who handed in the recital, this person is Situ Huaibo's men.

When the emperor heard this, he was furious.

The dog scolded by the official was bloody.

"Nonsense!" Then he ordered people to suppress it, and locked up a few of those who spread rumors, and soon no one dared to spread them.

But soon, the emperor decided to hold a ceremony to pray for heaven.

The Ministry of Rites took over.

Soon everything was in order.

The location of the prayer ceremony is in Rongcheng.

The casual list was also drawn up, but Situ Huaibo's people told him that his name was not in that list.

"What did you say?"

"Without you." Mu Li repeated.

"Impossible."

Situ Huaibo's face was incredulous.

He immediately let go of the official document in his hand and wanted to go to the capital.

"Your Highness, you can't go now." Mu Li stopped Situ Huaibo.

"You go away." Situ Huaibo pushed Mu Li away with his backhand, with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Your Highness, if you go now, all the efforts we made before will not be in vain."

Situ Huaibo's footsteps stopped.

Mu Li saw that it was effective, and then said: "Your Highness, if you leave now, you will be disobeying the emperor's order, but if you solve the famine of the mountains and rivers before the opening of the prayer ceremony, won't the emperor go with you by then?" ”

Mu Li's words were perfect, Situ Huaibo turned around helplessly and returned to his position.

"Mu Li, you go and drop the nearest grain escort list and silver flowing water to this king, this king wants to see it."

Seeing that Situ Huaibo was obviously nervous, and he was more serious and harder in controlling the famine, Mu Li looked at it and was excited in his heart.

As an old minister who watched Situ Huaibo grow up, Mu Li still has a lot of say in front of him, and Situ Huaibo also respects him very much.

Seeing that his master was working in peace, Mu Li went out, at ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Situ Huaibo was still busy working, and Mu Li was both relieved and distressed to see it.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, it's time for you to rest, if you are exhausted, you won't be able to go to the prayer ceremony."

Situ Huaibo didn't insist, went back to the house and lay down.

Under Situ Huaibo's diligent management, the disaster of the mountains and rivers was alleviated day by day.

But he missed the prayer ceremony after all.

Situ Huaibo was lonely, on such an important occasion, even Situ Huaizhu went, he is now the oldest prince except for the eldest prince, he didn't even go to the prayer ceremony, and what made him even more chilling was that no one came to inform him.

Situ Huaibo's heart was sour, Mu Li saw it in his eyes, and he was anxious in his heart.

He was busy feeling lonely, but he didn't know that another big event had happened in the capital.

"Your Majesty, there are rumors outside, saying that you think His Royal Highness the Second Prince is useless and has no chance to be on the throne."

Su Dexi finished speaking tremblingly, and every word seemed to be really overwhelming him, squeezed out of his throat.

"What did you say?"

"Go and check for me, who is talking nonsense!"

The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were bleeding for thousands of miles, and Su Dexi rushed out.

I could only hear the movement of the teacup sweeping to the ground from behind, the sound was extremely loud, and it was clearly heard outside the main hall, and Su Dexi could faintly hear the emperor's roar.

He couldn't help but slap himself, "Tell you to talk more." ”

The emperor received the news, and the queen is the same here, hearing the rumor in the harem, Mu Wanshu stood up with her eyes widened.

"Niangniang, when the slave maid went to the imperial dining room today, I heard Chef Zhang say this, and the slave maid didn't dare to delay, so she came back immediately to report."

Qingliu has been with the queen for many years and knows about the things between Mu Wanshu and Situ Huaibo, so after she heard it, she ran back in a hurry, and even forgot to take the meal.

"What did they say?"

The queen gasped.

"They said that the emperor sent the second prince out to see if he could do things, but if he didn't bring him to the prayer ceremony, it means that the emperor didn't regard him as a successor at all."

"Nonsense!" The Empress let out the same roar as the Emperor, but now he had nothing to smash in his hand, or else it would be a mess.

"Mother, we can't let this kind of message go."

"This is obviously a rumor, why haven't I heard the emperor say such things."

Mu Wanshu clenched her fists, "You find someone to go to the mountains and rivers, the county lord must tell the second prince to let him rest easy, everything will be said after the matter of the mountains and rivers is over." ”

Now that the message is surging, if Situ Huaibo comes back at this time, it will be even worse.

"Aoyagi, after the news is delivered, you go to investigate and find out, who released this news, remember to be careful, don't startle the snake."

"Understood."

After Qingliu left, Mu Wanshu was also guessing, who saw Situ Huaibo unpleasantly and wanted to harm him?

Aoyagi investigated quickly, and early the next morning, she returned with the secret guard.

"Niangniang, it's the people of Wenxiangfu who are making waves."

Handing over the information found in his hand to Mu Wanshu, Aoyagi said: "Niangniang, the recent actions of the Wenxiang Mansion are too big, should we find a way to make them quiet." ”

"Don't use it first, this palace will meet this Prime Minister Wen first."

She has fought with Wen Rou many times, because Wen Rou has her own handle in her hand, so she doesn't dare to act rashly, but Wen Hongzhi, she has no grievances with him in the past and no enmity in the near future.

"Aoyagi, you said, how about this palace called Prime Minister Wen to the palace?"

'Mother, how can this be done?' ’

Now he is on the cusp of the storm, I don't know how annoyed the emperor is, he is already very sensitive to the matter of the prince, and now this matter is still rumored like this,

The queen stopped talking.

She also realized that she had taken the plunge.

"Think again."

She rubbed her forehead, and finally decided to call Wen into the palace first, if she didn't see a foreign man, it was still okay to see Wen, after all, when they were young, the two still knew each other, and they were barely handkerchiefs, and the emperor also knew about it.

Wen was suddenly called into the palace, and even the belly of a pregnant woman in the family was getting bigger day by day, and she had to care about them with a calm face, otherwise Wu Dehou would be angry at herself, and she felt uncomfortable.

But the queen's decree, she couldn't help but come, so she entered the palace with a calm face.

When she came to Fengyi Palace, the queen seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and she didn't need to be instructed, so she found an embroidery pier and sat down.

"Niangniang, you are looking for a courtier, but what is the matter?"

With that arrogant expression, Aoyagi herself was angry, but the queen couldn't live, and she couldn't do anything as a subordinate.

She just glared at her with resentment in her eyes.

"Niangniang, is this little palace maid behind you bad eyes? There is also a doctor who is good at treating eye diseases, do you think he should let her treat this girl? ”

Mu Wanshu looked back, and saw Qingliu's hateful gaze that she hadn't had time to retract, and knew in her heart that she was fighting for herself, but she still said sternly: "Qingliu, what are you doing, why don't you apologize to Mrs. Wen quickly?" ”

Wen pretended to touch his hair, "Niangniang, that's not necessary, the status of the courtier is low, and she doesn't deserve the girl's apology." ”

Yin and Yang were weird, and Mu Wanshu frowned when she heard it.

"Don't hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Hou, I still want this palace to do it for you!"

While shouting angrily, Mu Wanshu desperately gave Aoyagi a look.

Aoyagi reluctantly saluted the Wen family, "Madam, it's the slave maid's mistake, the slave maid's eyes have been convulsive in the past two days, and they have collided with you, please don't be surprised." ”
