Chapter 218: Disaster Relief and Wind Chill
It's no wonder that she is suspicious, it's really too much of a coincidence.
Although the weather is getting cooler now, it is not so cold for so many people.
What's even more strange is that when she checked the pulse of Fu Yin today, it was a disease of wind and cold, and her master said that it was normal to not see the clues.
And all this gave her an extremely bad premonition.
Thinking about this in his heart, he unconsciously walked to the door of the study, pushed the door in, and the two people inside subconsciously looked out of the door.
Seeing that it was Li Le, the tense expressions of Li Linyuan and Li Mufeng in the room relaxed.
But even so, the sorrow between the two eyebrows is so strong that it can't be dissolved.
"What's wrong with Le'er?"
It didn't seem that he was going to continue talking about the previous matter, Li Linyuan returned to the study master and sat down, pinched his eyebrows and said.
"I had something I wanted to ask, but seeing that my father and brother's faces were so ugly, what happened in the court?"
looked at the father and brother with worried looks, and did not answer the question.
Hearing this, Li Linyuan sighed, his daughter is too smart, she can be guessed no matter what, and she just hopes that she will not hurt herself in the future.
Li Mufeng's face was not good, but he still comforted Li Le: "It's okay, my father and I will solve it." ”
He didn't want to say these bad things and let his sister annoy them with them.
Seeing that neither of them was willing to mention it, Li Le knew that something tricky must have happened, otherwise the two of them would not be like this.
With a serious face, he asked reluctantly: "Is it still the time to divide you and me?" What happened? ”
In the end, he has lived for two lifetimes, and the aura around him is very human, and when he becomes serious at this time, it adds a little chill.
Things have changed too much in this life, and she can't guarantee that she can fully take care of all aspects, so what she is most worried about at the moment is whether the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion will be implicated, and if she finds out that someone is secretly manipulating, she will definitely not spare him.
Looking at his sister's determined gaze, Li Mufeng suddenly felt that the sister who had to be protected since she was a child would be able to take charge of herself at some point, and she was also a little shaken at this time, but she still didn't want Li Le to worry with her.
He didn't say anything, Li Le kept looking at his eyes, and in the end, in this eye offensive, Li Mufeng was defeated.
Said helplessly: "Qianzhou has suffered a century-old natural disaster, and this year has not been harvested for the whole year. Today, people are starving to death on the streets. ”
Hearing this, Li Le's brows jumped, he seemed to have consideration in his heart, and his tone was also dissatisfied.
"Such a big matter, has it only been reported to the imperial court until now?"
"The emperor learned about this and decided to send someone to Qianzhou for disaster relief."
Nodding heavily, obviously he was also very indignant about this, after all, the people are greater than the sky, and the magistrate only thought of going to the court when he reached such an uncontrollable situation, which shows that he usually did a lot of bad things.
Having said this, looking at his father and brother looking worried, Li Le thought about it for a while, and then understood the reason: "But what's the problem with the candidates sent to the disaster relief?" ”
hit the nail on the head and got straight to the point.
Hearing this, Li Linyuan's expression was fierce in an instant, and his eyes revealed a bit of anger and worry.
"The emperor originally sent the crown prince to help the disaster, but everyone knows that if the prince is allowed to take over this matter, half of the silver for disaster relief will not fall into the hands of the victims."
"Lord Tobe Leng also wrote to His Majesty today to ask for a replacement of the person who provided disaster relief, but the emperor doesn't seem to attach importance to this matter."
Thinking of Leng Wenyao, the head of the household department in the court today, almost burst into tears, Li Mufeng felt a throbbing pain in his heart.
Getting this information, Li Le tried to recall what had happened in his previous life.
It seems that in the previous life, there was also a natural disaster in Qianzhou, and the disaster relief at that time was taken over by the prince's party, she didn't care at the time, but after a while, Qianzhou rioted, the people's grievances boiled, and there were uprisings in many places in Western Chu, she was married to Chu Jing as a concubine, when this happened, she was bent on making meritorious contributions to Chu Jing, so she followed her father and brother into battle in armor, and pacified the civil strife from three directions. Most of them are princelings.
It was only later that she learned that the reason for the riots was because they didn't get the slightest relief materials!
Under such oppression, how can you not resist.
Now, the disaster relief is about to be handed over to the crown prince, and Li Le is also very worried about the recurrence of the tragedy.
"But Lord Leng shouldn't give up, under the pressure of public opinion, presumably the emperor won't be too tough, but when it falls, another force will take over, and I don't know who will take over this matter?"
Li Mufeng said his guess steadily, he now feels that as long as he is not the prince, others don't care.
"I think most of this matter will be taken over by that kid from the Mu family."
Li Linyuan frowned and thought for a while, and finally relaxed his brows.
He picked up the teacup, tapped the edge of the tealid a few times, brushed the floating tea aside, and then blew lightly a few breaths, took a sip of tea, and put down the teacup before saying slowly.
"Why him?"
Li Le and Li Mufeng asked in unison, both expressing their incomprehension.
Emperor Chu gave birth to so many sons, and disaster relief, such a major event, did not choose his own son to go, but let a little marquis go, which is not very reasonable.
"This Mu Changjin has followed the Night King to exterminate the mountain bandits before, has the corresponding experience, and has also been appreciated by the emperor."
Li Linyuan, who was in the imperial court, still knew some of the related things, and he was not stingy in expressing his guesses. Emperor Chu's attitude towards Mu Changjin, he naturally saw it in his eyes.
"If that's the case, then why didn't the Nine Emperor Princes take over the disaster relief matter? He also had a meritorious service in suppressing bandits. ”
Hearing this, Li Le hurriedly asked his doubts.
If you follow this reason, there are many loopholes in Mu Changjin's succession.
"The Nine Emperor Princes are cold by nature and not gentle enough. Disaster relief is a matter of having more contact with the people, and his character is not suitable. ”
Li Mufeng sat on the chair, his right hand with distinct bones tapped lightly on the table, and he said his thoughts in detail.
Chu Ye, the Nine Emperor Princes, has also been in contact with him, but he is too cold and makes people feel difficult to contact.
"That's just one of the small reasons, not a big deal. Regarding disaster relief, where does it take a prince to do it himself? Most of the people under him will deal with it personally. ”
Li Linyuan listened to Li Mufeng's answer, smiled, and then said the answer that he didn't agree with his statement.
Obviously, he thinks that Li Mufeng's views are still too superficial and superficial.
The water in this court is deep!
"Regarding the Eighth Prince, he has just recovered from his old injuries. Then this disaster relief has nothing to do with him, what about the Nine Emperor Princes...... Although the Nine Emperors have a cold personality, they are powerful in other aspects. ”
Li Linyuan first mentioned the Eight Princes, and first ruled out the possibility that the Eight Princes could take over disaster relief.
Then, the smile was gone, and his expression became serious, and he seriously analyzed the reason.
"Dad, don't say half of what you say, hurry up."
Li Le listened to his father's words, didn't say anything about the key points for a long time, and sold Guanzi. I couldn't help but urge in a hurry.
Although her temperament is gloomy, in the face of the people closest to her, she can't help but reveal her truest and most innocent side. In front of her own family, she is afraid that she will not be able to change her eager, seemingly unstable temperament.
"When can you change your temperament. Wasn't that what to say? Don't worry. ”
Li Linyuan looked at his daughter's urgency and couldn't help but say.
Seeing that she was so anxious that she even stood up, he had no choice but to stop and let her sit down.
"I want to hear about it."
Li Le listened, blessed his body, and sat down quietly and obediently.
Li Mufeng looked at his sister's appearance, shook his head helplessly, and couldn't help laughing.
Li Linyuan saw that Li Le was also obedient, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Think about it, who is the emperor's favorite person? That must be the crown prince. Otherwise, how could he allow the prince to embezzle silver taels for many years without asking? Do you think, if the Nine Emperor Princes take over this matter, what will happen after the matter is completed? ”
While Li Linyuan asked and answered himself, he also left questions for the two people in front of him to think about.
He looked at the two people in front of him, waiting for them to give him an answer.
"If the Nine Emperor Princes benefit from disaster relief, they will receive not only the hearts of the people, but also the appreciation of the emperor. But the emperor selfishly favors the prince, so he is naturally reluctant to let him take over, and the prince will not let him succeed. ”
Li Mufeng's spirit flashed and figured out the reason.
There are many reasons, the main reasons are the selfishness of Emperor Chu and the obstruction of the crown prince.
I'm afraid that if the Nine Emperor Princes want to take over, it will not be so easy. It's not as likely as the little marquis to take over.
"I don't think that's the case, I don't think the Nine Emperor Princes will want to take over this tricky matter. After he succeeds in the future, maybe the prince will regard him as a thorn in his side, and think about embarrassing him in many places. ”
Li Le analyzed it from Chu Ye's point of view, and in terms of Chu Ye's character, he didn't bother to take over this matter.
He has always been in line with the principle of keeping a low profile, and if he takes over this matter, he will attract the trouble of the prince in the future, and many of his actions will be troublesome.
"You've all done a great job of analyzing. It's just ah, this imperial heart, the needle under the sea. The final decision on this matter still depends on the emperor, and the emperor's intentions are not something we can easily guess. ”
Li Linyuan listened to the analysis of the two of them and felt very reasonable, so he nodded in agreement, and in the end, he sighed and said something serious.
It seems that these children of mine have grown up, and they all understand the benefits and disadvantages of this world.
Both of them listened to their father's words and understood the truth.
The three of them looked at each other, tacitly stopping the topic.
