Chapter 31 What Weichen lacks is money
In the early morning, the sky was still cloudy, and outside the palace, there were already cars like dragons, horses like water, and crowds of people.
These people are naturally the civil and military officials who rushed to the early dynasty, but because of Zhao Chen's return yesterday, today's early dynasty has become of great significance.
Obviously, because of Zhao Chen's return, the drought in Shandong, which had been delayed for several months, was finally put on the agenda.
Now, seeing that the autumn harvest is on the Shandong side, they are all waiting for the imperial court to allocate food to the past, and if it is delayed, I am afraid that something will happen to the Shandong side!
It's just that everyone is counting on Zhao Chen, but seeing that the palace door is about to be opened, it should be the time of the early dynasty, but Zhao Chen's figure has not appeared yet.
Everyone turned their eyes to Qin Cheng from time to time, and the two princes of Qin Cheng over there had an inquiring meaning in their eyes, and these two people were the closest people to Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen has arrived at this hour, and he has not seen him, these two people should always know a little reason.
"Brother, why is this kid still here, and he hasn't been seen yet?" Even if others are anxious, they don't dare to go up and ask directly, but Li Shentong is different, he has a good relationship with the Qin Cheng family on weekdays, so he naturally came to the two of them and asked quietly.
"Maybe something is wrong!" Lao Qin understands Zhao Chen's temperament, and since he agreed to come back from Lingnan, it is impossible for him to dodge, and he can't hide from it. So, it can only be that something happened and it was delayed.
However, as soon as these words fell, Cheng Yanjin on the side suddenly saw that from the gate of the imperial city, a carriage came in leisurely. The one who drove the car was the young man Zhao Chen brought back from Lingnan.
"This kid is here!" Cheng Yanjin saw it. Naturally, Li Shentong next to him also saw it and looked at the young man. Driving the carriage leisurely through the gate of the imperial city, Li Shentong immediately grinned.
At this time, with the appearance of Zhao Chen's carriage, everyone who had been hanging their hearts suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes looked at the palace gate steadily.
When the carriage came to the palace gate, Muqiu jumped down from the wheel, lifted the curtain with his hands, and stepped aside. Waiting for Zhao Chen to get out of the car. It's just that after waiting for a long time, Zhao Chen didn't get out of the carriage, but he saw a large group of people over there, looking at this side with strange eyes.
The expression on Mu Qiu's face was slightly stunned, and when he turned his head to look into the carriage in confusion, he was surprised to see that their Thor's messenger was sleeping in the carriage.
"I'm afraid this kid was poured a lot of wine last night!" Lao Qin over there. I couldn't help but look at Zhao Chen, who was sleeping in the carriage, and said angrily.
As soon as Lao Qin's words came out, he immediately provoked a large group of people around him. He opened his mouth and laughed. I am afraid that the only person who can sleep so soundly when he is in the court is this immortal disciple!
Zhao Chen, who was sleeping with a fragrant fragrance. Suddenly awakened by the laughter, when I opened my eyes. He saw Mu Qiu looking at him with an embarrassed expression, his gaze over Mu Qiu's shoulder. In front of the palace gate, a large group of people were laughing and looking at him with interest.
Suddenly, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly sat up from the carriage and got out of the carriage.
"Boy, you're so drunk!" In a large burst of laughter, he came to Lao Qin and the others slowly, and as soon as he got closer, Li Shentong, who listened to it, grinned and quipped.
"The prince made fun of it!" Zhao Chen was already quite embarrassed, but as a result, being teased by Li Shentong in public was really embarrassing to death.
"The hour has come!" Fortunately, the embarrassment didn't last long, and the palace door opened with a piercing squeak, and then, Pei Lian, who was standing at the head of the hundred officials, shouted.
With Pei Lian's shout, the noise at the scene suddenly disappeared. The civil and military officials, who were still scurrying around just now, immediately returned to their positions, waiting for the palace gate to open wide and enter the palace gate.
Zhao Chen is now a marquis, a member of the third rank of the imperial court, and his position is in the middle of the team, left and right, front and back, either an old man with white hair, or a middle-aged person.
There is a Zhao Chen in the middle, it looks a little nondescript!
The palace gate was opened, and with the singing of the inner attendants, the civil and military officials, under the leadership of Pei Lian, entered the palace gate and went straight into the Taiji Palace.
Yesterday, Zhao Chen and Li Er 'discussed' in the Taiji Palace, which made the Taiji Hall a mess, and even Li Er's imperial case was lifted by Zhao Chen. As soon as Zhao Chen entered the Taiji Palace, he saw a new imperial case on it, lowered his head and couldn't help but smile.
The civil and military officials had just entered the Taiji Palace, and in a moment, Li Er, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and wearing a crown of heaven, walked out of the back of the hall and stood behind the imperial case above the main hall.
So, the hundred officials sang the salute, Li Er asked for the salute, and when everything was finished, Li Er sat down, the hundred officials returned to their positions, and the hall fell silent for a while.
In the usual early dynasties, there were always the chief officials of the yamen to play, but in today's early dynasty, all the yamen seem to have collectively become mute, sitting in their own positions, looking at their noses and noses, like a bodhisattva.
Today's court meeting, everyone is tacit, even if there is a big thing, it has to be pressed, this court meeting is a special session in Shandong because of Zhao Chen's return.
"The minister has this to play!" After a long silence, Pei Lian, who was sitting at the head of the prime minister's class, stood up from his position, stood in the middle of the main hall, and opened his mouth with his hand in his hand.
Pei Lin stood up, and everyone who was originally like a mud bodhisattva suddenly raised their heads in unison, and looked at Pei Lin in the middle of the main hall, with a moment of expectation in their eyes.
"Come on!" Li Er sat above the main hall, looked at Pei Lin below, frowned slightly, and spoke.
"Whoa!" When Pei Lin heard this, he bowed to Li Er, and then raised his head to look at Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, the drought in Shandong has been going on for several months now, and now that the famine is imminent, the land of Shandong is waiting for the imperial court to provide relief, this matter is imminent, I hope Your Majesty can solve this matter as soon as possible!" ”
As soon as Pei Lian's words came out, suddenly a large group of people stood up in the hall, stood behind Pei Lian, bowed to Li Er, and echoed loudly.
Zhao Chen, who was sitting there, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard so many people echoing him. He was supposed to come back this time. It's for the sake of Shandong, the result. It's obvious that no one has come forward just now. It wasn't until Pei Lin stood up that a large group of people stood up like farts and agreed.
Echo your sister! If you have something to say, why beat around the bush!
Zhao Chen just muttered in his heart when he said this, however, Pei Lin over there seemed to hear Zhao Chen's words.
Suddenly turned around, faced Zhao Chen, first waved at Zhao Chen, and then. Only then did he speak: "The Marquis of Chang'an is a disciple of the immortals, as early as when he was in Lingnan, the old man heard that the Marquis of Chang'an solved the famine of tens of thousands of people with the strength of one person!" ”
When he said this, Pei Lian's eyes suddenly swept a big circle, and the people who stood up around him sighed inexplicably, and continued to look at Zhao Chen and said: "Now, there is a big drought in Shandong. The court has discussed to no avail, and there is nothing to deal with, so can the old man beg the Marquis of Chang'an to help. Pity the hungry people in Shandong? ”
Pei Lin spoke, and before Zhao Chen could react, he suddenly gave up his hand at Zhao Chen. With a long stroke, he made a gesture of pleading.
It's so sudden! A group of people who just stood up with Pei Lin to echo it. Seeing Pei Lin suddenly sneering at Zhao Chen, they were all dumbfounded.
Pei Lin is the head of the prime minister of the empire. is really under one person, above ten thousand, at this time, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, suddenly slammed Zhao Chen's body, is it a bit too much, right?
However, this thought had just flashed in their hearts, and Kong Yingda, who had been sitting there, suddenly stood up, walked to Pei Lian's side, followed Pei Lian's appearance, and suddenly waved towards Zhao Chen's long body, and said: "The old man had a lot of misunderstandings with Chang'an Hou before, but at this time, human life is at stake, and I hope that Chang'an Hou can help and relieve the suffering of the hungry people in Shandong!" ”
Kong Yingda stood up, and in the crowd that was still stunned just now, someone finally reacted, shook Zhao Chen's long body, and said: "I hope that Chang'anhou can help and relieve the suffering of the hungry people in Shandong!" ”
With the appearance of these people, more and more people in the court stood up and waved at Zhao Chen's long body, and the voices resounded in the Taiji Hall one after another.
"I hope that the Marquis of Chang'an can help and relieve the suffering of the hungry people in Shandong!"
Li Er, who was sitting above the main hall, also stood up at this time, looking at Zhao Chen with burning eyes, although he didn't speak, but his expression was undoubtedly revealed!
Lao Qin and Cheng Yanjin over there also stood up, looking at Zhao Chen, but they were all the same as Li Er, although they did not speak, the pleading meaning in their eyes was undoubtedly expressed.
The imperial court has no ability at all, and the disaster relief for the entire Shandong is only possible if you look at the world, Zhao Chen, an immortal disciple, can do it!
Zhao Chen faced more and more people and bowed to him, but his eyes swept at those who had been silent from beginning to end, and then he looked at Li Er above and said: "Your Majesty, disaster relief cannot be done by one person, and everyone needs to work together!" ”
Bow down, make a move, just want him to run obediently to disaster relief, how can there be such a reason, if something happens in the future, no matter how big it is, everyone will come to talk to him, will he have to help?
"That's what Chang'an Hou said!" When Li Er heard Zhao Chen's words, he didn't think about it and said: "Disaster relief is not the power of one person, at this moment, it should be everyone's work together!" ”
Li Er said, looked at the ministers and said: "From today onwards, Jiangnan Province and Henan Province have stepped up the requisition and transfer of grain, and cooperated with the Marquis of Chang'an to make every effort to relieve the disaster in Shandong!" ”
Li Er's words were undoubted, and the courtiers below were slightly stunned when they heard it, but then they still bowed to Li Er.
It's just that when Zhao Chen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, Li Er's words, in fact, are still on the heads of the people. There are so many people in the Taiji Palace, and the final disaster relief is just the same mouth with them, and they spit on the stars, what should they do after that, there is no damage at all.
How can this work!
Thinking of this, Zhao Chen suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, that's not what Wei Chen said!" ”
When Li Eryi heard this, he immediately frowned slightly, met Zhao Chen's gaze, and asked suspiciously, "What does Chang'an Hou mean?" ”
"Money!" Zhao Chen looked at Li Er without hesitation, and said bluntly: "Wechen is not short of food, but Wechen is short of money!" (To be continued......)
