Zhengyang Gate of the Forbidden City, here is the only main road for the palace to enter and exit the Forbidden City, at this time, the second prince Xia Yuanwen, the third prince Xia Yuanran, the fourth prince Xia Yuanyou, and the sixth prince Xia Yuantu have already led their respective men and horses to gather, and they are waiting for Ling Xia.

Because of the different institutions in charge, the accompanying assistants carried by several princes are also different, the second prince is in charge of the ministry, and he is followed by more than a dozen civil officials, these people are carefully selected officials from the ministry, each good at account allocation and disaster relief.

The three princes control the household department, and the elites of the various departments of the household department led by them, all of these people have experience in disaster relief, and are familiar with matters such as the pacification of disaster victims, food distribution, and epidemic prevention and control.

The fourth prince, Xia Yuanyou, led more than 20 officials of the Ministry of Rites, and local officials need to go to the Ministry of Officials to learn etiquette when they enter the forbidden city, because of this, these officials are extremely familiar with the local officials, and with them in their appearance, the local officials will definitely do their best.

The sixth prince, Xia Yuantu, was in charge of the criminal department, so he was followed by more than 30 burly arresters, who were good at checking accounts, and Xia Yuantu was worried that local officials would corrupt the court's disaster relief funds and relief food, so he specially took them with him.

Under the Zhengyang Gate, the four princes stood together with a smile, looking like brothers and brothers on the surface, but when they were standing, they were obviously divided into three camps, the second prince and the third prince stood extremely close, the fourth prince stood alone, and the sixth prince also stood alone.

"Third brother, you are in charge of the household department, you are a famous god of wealth in the court, and the materials of the entire court are in your hands, this time my father sent a few of our brothers to the disaster area to relieve the disaster and comfort the people, you have to support your brother a lot." Xia Yuanwen looked at Xia Yuanran with a smile on his face.

"Second brother, don't worry, the foolish brother has already made arrangements." Xia Yuanran smiled and said proudly: "The disaster relief materials of the imperial court this time are distributed according to the affected provinces in each territory, and each affected province allocates one million stone of grain.

However, the younger brother knew that the second brother was responsible for the most serious disaster area, and the affected area was the largest, and the younger brother was afraid that the materials would be insufficient, so he gave the second brother an extra batch of one million stone grain, and the right attendant of the household department personally prepared it, and at this moment the team of the Caoyun Mansion Yamen to transport grain was already on the road. ”

"Third brother, the disaster area that the younger brother is responsible for this time is also very difficult, although the imperial court has allocated six million stone of grain, but these grains are not enough at all, since the third brother has allocated an extra million stone of grain to the second brother, then also allocate me a little more disaster relief food." Hearing Xia Yuanran's words, Xia Yuantu hurriedly stepped forward to interject, wanting to fight for more supplies.

But I didn't expect that after listening to Xia Yuantu's words, Xia Yuanran shook his head and refused with a pity on his face: "It's not a secret, this time Wujiang was affected by the disaster, and all the household funds were taken out for my brother, and now I can't get any extra food." ”

"Humph! The second brother wants food, you can take it out, I want food, you have no superfluity, what is the reason? With a cold snort, Xia Yuantu's face showed a trace of gloom, and the expression on his face was very unhappy.

"Since there is no extra food for the third brother, then the younger brother is not embarrassed for the third brother, I will solve the food problem by myself, it is better to do this, please ask the third brother to allocate a few more bedding for me to survive the winter." At this time, the fourth prince Xia Yuanyu said quietly.

"Fourth brother, aren't you embarrassed by the third brother? Just now the sixth brother asked for food, but the third brother didn't give it to him, and now you ask for a futon, if the third brother agrees to your request, wouldn't it seem favoritism? After listening to the words of the fourth prince, the second prince interjected with a smile.

"What the second brother said is reasonable, I can't open this example." Hearing the hint of the second prince, Xia Yuanran shook his head towards Xia Yuanyou: "The problem of the bedding should be solved by the fourth brother himself, since the elder brother can't take care of the sixth brother, naturally there is no way to take care of you." ”

"What a sentence of favoritism!" After saying this in a cold tone, Xia Yuanyou looked up at Xia Yuanran, and said in a displeased tone: "What the third brother said just now is that an extra million stone of grain was allocated to the territory that the second brother is responsible for, what is this?" Abuse of power for personal gain? ”

"The fourth child's mouth is still as bitter and mean as before, and he is still as unforgiving as when he was a child." After speaking, Xia Yuanran's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he sneered: "Even if I use my power for personal gain, so what? Do you still want to cure me? ”

Seeing that the atmosphere between the fourth prince and the third prince was a little tense, the sixth prince groaned slightly, and he walked to the middle to help the two sides persuade peace: "Okay, if you don't have it, don't quarrel, the horse is coming, if he sees your appearance, he will definitely laugh off his big teeth." ”

After hearing these words, the fourth prince and the third prince calmed down their emotions respectively, although the eyes of both sides were full of resentment and anger at this moment, but the two of them were extremely calm at the moment, and they couldn't see that they had just quarreled.

Just when the four of them were waiting for Ling Xia, a team of tens of thousands of people came from a distance, only to see Ling Xia riding a horse in front of the team, followed by Jiang Hailiu and others, while the princess was sitting in a carriage, with tiger teeth driving the horse, Liu Baiyu, Yao Xinyao, and Li Jinxuan protecting Xia Ning'er from the car.

Looking at the mighty team opposite, and then at the entourage around him, Xia Yuanwen's faces were a little unnatural, he brought more than 30 entourages at most, and he felt that these people were a bit too many just now, but Ling Xia brought more than 70,000 people, compared with Ling Xia, his dozens of people are nothing.

Seeing Ling Xia leading the team closer and closer, Xia Yuantu couldn't help but mutter: "It's a chariot and a war horse, and the chariot is still bulging, where did the horse get these equipment?" Isn't it just to go for disaster relief, why did you bring so many people? ”

Not only did Xia Yuantu feel strange in his heart, but even the other three princes and the entourage around them were also blinded by the mighty team in front of them, and said in his heart: "These are all people who follow the horses to help the disaster?" This formation is also spectacular, isn't it? ”

The reason why Ling Xia was late was actually to go to the Ministry of War to get equipment, after leaving the palace before, Ling Xia went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and brought out the equipment of the division, at first Xia Yuanxiao didn't want to cooperate, saying that it was dark and couldn't see clearly, and the weapons and equipment were all allocated during the day.

But Ling Xia didn't have time to wait until tomorrow, the other four Qincha were already waiting from Zhengyangmen, so he begged Xia Yuanxiao to beg for nothing, and had to take out the equipment tonight, saying that if Xia Yuanxiao didn't allocate weapons to him, he would go to the emperor to complain.

In fact, Ling Xia was just scaring Xia Yuanxiao, he had just come out of the emperor's side, how could he be embarrassed to go back, but Xia Yuanxiao didn't know this, he was really afraid that Ling Xia would go to the emperor to complain, glared at Ling Xia, he had to write a note and asked Ling Xia to take the note to the equipment warehouse of the military department to get the equipment.
