In the early days of this day, Qin Zhao was very irritable in his heart, these days because of the weather, the harvest was not good, and the disaster reports from all over the country had already dizzy him.

"Do you have anything to see Aiqing?"

Qin Zhao sighed helplessly, these reports from all over the world these days, he has already ordered the treasury to be opened, go to the disaster relief, and the reserve granaries in various places have also been opened, but the victims here and there, because of the bad harvest, have already flooded, I heard that there are still a large number of refugees waiting outside the capital.

Qin Zhao has also ordered the opening of the reserve granary in the capital, and take out the grain to relieve the disaster, so that all the people can have food to eat and not starve to death, but the harvest has not been good for many years, and there is already little grain left in the granary, just in time for this year's drought, Qin Zhao also has a headache.

"The emperor doesn't know whether to talk about something or not."

At this time, Lord Huang on the side seemed to hesitate for a lot of time, and the look on his face was not knowing whether to speak or not, Qin Zhao glanced at him, and then Lord Huang made up his mind, walked to the middle, knelt down with both hands together and said to Qin Zhao.

"Aiqing, please speak, it's okay."

Qin Zhao waved his sleeves and motioned for Lord Huang to speak directly, seeing Lord Huang's hesitant look, Qin Zhao already knew without guessing, most of it was not good news.

He has been a headache these days, and he has been dizzying to deal with the reports from all over the world every day, and he has not been with the queen and his two children for a long time, but he has always remembered what the queen said to him, since you are the son of heaven and should assume the responsibility of the son of heaven.

So he has almost lived in this palace these days, and when he returns to the palace every day, Guan Tongshu has already slept with his two children, and he can't bear to disturb him.

"The minister is staying in Beijing these days, and I heard some rumors between the tea rooms in the room......"

Lord Huang knelt on the ground, put his hands together in front of him and lowered his head, and said with a flash between the words, Qin Zhao frowned slightly after seeing it, what kind of rumor did he hear, so that Lord Huang was so afraid to speak.

"What are some rumors?"

Qin Zhao couldn't cope with it, and opened his mouth slightly to ask Lord Huang that his tone was already full of exhaustion, this is now a famine everywhere, this year of drought is connected, last year and the year before last were also disasters, the harvest in the past three years has not been good, before when his father was alive, he had already opened a warehouse to put grain, fortunately, although the famine in the two years before last year was also in trouble, but it was not so serious.

Now there is not much grain left in this open granary, and he has only been in office for a long time, which is really a problem for him.

"I don't dare to speak."

Lord Huang's face was still very hesitant, he glanced at the current emperor, and saw that Qin Zhao's face was full of majesty, although he revealed a sense of exhaustion, but this momentum was incomparable, and he naturally had the temperament of a dragon and a phoenix in this person.

Lord Huang was so hesitant, Qin Zhao couldn't help frowning, I'm afraid it's not a good rumor, maybe it's about him.

Qin Zhaoyi felt a little more comfortable when he thought of this, he was frank and uninhibited, he didn't care much about how the people praised him, the important thing was to do some practical things, which was also what his father had warned him when he was still in power.

"I saw Lord Huang flickering, I didn't dare to speak, I'm afraid I heard some rumors, it should be related to me, Lord Huang, you can talk directly, I won't be angry."

Qin Zhao opened his mouth Lord Huang listened to these words, but he kowtowed on the ground, he really didn't understand why there were such rumors among the people, today's emperor is not only informal, black and white, but also has a heart of fraternity for the common people in the world.

"I once heard that the folk legend that the Queen Mother has not died, but lives in the folk and does not dare to attack, and the reason is that it is because the emperor can't tolerate the Queen Mother, so he will burn down Cining Palace......"

Lord Huang tentatively opened his mouth, looking at Qin Zhao as he spoke, and sure enough, when Qin Zhao heard this, the expression on his face suddenly became serious.

Qin Zhao squinted his eyes slightly, put one hand on the coffee table, and patted the expression on his face a few times, as if he was angry, and as if he was thinking, Lord Wang was frightened by Qin Zhao's momentum at this time, and thought that his words had made Qin Zhao unhappy.

"How can it be!"

"Lord Huang, how can you say this, the emperor is wise today, not only to set up a free school, but also to open a warehouse to help the people everywhere in the current drought, there are still people who dare to slander the emperor like this?"

At this time, an old minister stood up, pointed at Lord Huang and said angrily.

"The minister didn't dare to tell right and wrong, this is all the minister heard back in the folk teahouse alley, I only learned after some inquiry, the whole capital is spreading such rumors everywhere today, it is rumored that there is no compassion and no filial piety in the saint today, and it is too thick to tolerate the non-personal, so it will set fire to the Cining Palace, and forge the signs that the Queen Mother accidentally caught fire when the power supply was on fire, but the Queen Mother escaped by luck and survived in the people......"

Lord Huang was sincerely afraid to explain to Qin Zhao at this time, that old minister was going to continue to confront Lord Huang, Qin Zhao was worried in his heart at this time, this old courtier was obviously falling on both sides of the wall.

When the Queen Mother was in the limelight before, Meimei flattered and groveled to the Queen Mother, and from time to time paid tribute to the Queen Mother with some rare and foreign objects, and later saw that the Queen Mother was not powerful, so she immediately reversed her position.

If it weren't for the fact that he was not very harmful, Qin Zhao would have wanted to get rid of him a long time ago, but now that the new talents have not been selected, everything in the court still needs someone to carry out, so he reluctantly left him behind, Qin Zhao waved his sleeves, the expression on his face was not good-looking, and the two of them quickly stopped talking and knelt on the ground one after another.

"The emperor is angry!"

Lord Huang was sincerely afraid at this time, Qin Zhao nodded and did not really start a fire, Lord Huang is an upright person, when he fought with the Queen Mother in the past, the Queen Mother also tried to bribe Lord Huang, but this Lord Huang confidently rejected the Queen Mother's kindness, impartiality, and can be regarded as a loyal minister.

He also knew Lord Huang's words, but he took a lot of courage to dare to say it in this court.

Qin Zhao's appearance of not speaking made all the ministers below feel very worried and panicked, obviously they had already heard of these gossips, Qin Zhao frowned slightly, although the expression on his face was a little unhappy, but he did not lose his temper.

Qin Zhao stood up, pacing back and forth on the dragon seat with his hands behind his back.

I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be really not stupid, and she also knew that this rumor arose among the people, so that it could prove that the Queen Mother was indeed not dead, but she just took pity on the old lady who was charred into a black charcoal body instead of the Queen Mother.
