Taiji Palace, Nourishing Heart Palace

"Your Majesty, there are many floods this year, affecting the land of the two states, resulting in the autumn grain failure of the nine counties, not to mention the full collection of land taxes, but it is a county with serious waterlogging, and the people are still extremely reluctant to make ends meet!"

In the palace of nourishing the heart, the minister of the country Yun Zhen (the word is himself) holds a simple book and gives it away.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers in the hall who participated in the small court meeting were solemn, and even the Taiji Holy Emperor who was sitting in the middle frowned, and his heart was heavy.

Without waiting for the important ministers of the court to respond, Yun Zhen had already said with a look on his face.

"Especially in the very few disaster-stricken areas where the flood is the most severe, there have even been such tragic situations as changing children and eating them......

"What?!"

The words of Yi Zi and eating, like thunder in the day, suddenly flashed in the main hall!

All the ministers of the court, including the Taiji Holy Emperor, couldn't help but breathe heavier, and their qi and blood surged!

Such a human purgatory, which only exists in the historical records, really happened under the rule of the Great Qian, and this group of rulers at the highest level of the Great Qian Dynasty really couldn't believe their ears for a while!

It is unbearable and unbelievable that such an appalling thing should happen to the subjects under his rule!!

"Such a miserable situation! It actually happened in the border of our country...... It's hard for a widow to feel at ease!! ”

The Tai Chi Holy Emperor took a deep breath, as if he couldn't bear to close his eyes, and the pain in his tone made all the important ministers in the hall look solemn, and immediately knelt on the ground!

"Your Majesty! Ministers deserve death!! ”

He and others assisted His Majesty in governing the government, but they caused such a tragic situation to occur within the borders of the country, and made His Majesty even more worried, which is really a crime that deserves death!

"That's it! What about such natural and man-made disasters? The top priority at the moment is to quickly provide relief to the people and save our people from the fire and water! ”

Seeing this, the Holy Emperor waved his hand again and again, and the great cadres were already weak in national strength, with a huge shortage of taxes every year, barren land, and poor people.

In previous years, when the wind and rain were good, it was barely able to fill the stomach, but once such a disaster occurred, the people were struggling to make a living, and hunger was everywhere!

"Whoa! Obey the Holy Commandment! ”

All the ministers sang in unison, naturally knowing that the top priority must be to provide relief to the people affected by the disaster in the nine counties, if they are left alone, they will definitely cause trouble for no reason, causing chaos among the people!

"Alas......"

Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, the chaotic general who was also in the palace, sighed slightly when he saw this, and the matter of the grain transfer that he originally wanted to play was only buried in his heart again, and he had no choice but to miss such a good opportunity!

"Tuo'er, how is the war in Western Xinjiang?"

Seeing this, the Holy Emperor's heart moved slightly, and he took the initiative to ask.

"Father and Emperor, my son and his ministers led an army of 100,000 to the western frontier, and the danger of the dog Rong colluding with the remnants of the Qi State to disturb my frontier has been resolved!"

Zhao Tuo hurriedly surrendered his hand when he heard this, and his words were full of invincible and powerful confidence!

"Among them, more than 3,000 people were suppressed in the Qi Kingdom, more than 20,000 dogs were beheaded, more than 40,000 were captured, and they were forced back to Ronggu Pass, and there must be no more strength to fight within a few years!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately won applause from the audience!

"Good! Win all battles! King Qi is really a god of war for me! ”

Minister Yun Zhen praised it, and when he heard this great victory, he felt that his depression was swept away, and his heart was really happy!

King Qi really lived up to the name of the chaotic general, and everywhere he went, he calmed the chaos and determined the disaster, and he was all captured, and there was no mistake!

"Yes! The king of Qi led the troops, and he was invincible and invincible! ”

The rest of the ministers all echoed their congratulations, and they were all excited by the victory in Western Xinjiang.

Even the national teacher Bu Li couldn't help but flick his head, and he recognized this big victory very much.

"Hahaha! My son is really a martial artist! But compared to the widow back then, there are also more than hahahaha! ”

The Tai Chi Holy Emperor couldn't help laughing out loud, hearing such a big victory, he was naturally extremely happy, but when he thought of Tuo'er's sigh just now, he couldn't help but ask again.

"That being the case...... Why does Tuo'er still have regrets, is she still dissatisfied with such a big victory? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers heard the prestige, and looked at Zhao Tuo, the king of Qi, and their eyes couldn't help but shine with different colors.

"Returning to my father...... Exactly! Erchen originally wanted to take advantage of this big victory and send another 100,000 troops to fight the important town of Xirong Border Pass - Ronggu Pass! Completely drive the dog Rong to the west of Rong Valley! Fight for hundreds of miles of fertile land for my great work! But ......"

Zhao Tuo gave it up again, but when he said the end, there was a look of hesitation on his face.

"But I just heard what the minister said, this year, the nine counties of our Daqian were affected by the disaster, resulting in the poor harvest of autumn grain, and the victims had no way to make a living, how can they have the spare strength to support such a large-scale army expedition? So...... It's just a pity in my heart! ”

King Qi's words also made everyone in the palace sigh, and they could understand King Qi's heart of serving the country.

No one doubts whether the King of Qi will be able to transfer 100,000 troops to capture Ronggu Pass in a battle after the great victory over the dog Rong, but the great cadres are in such a predicament that the sword soldiers have been fighting endlessly for many years, and the domestic grain reserves are extremely scarce.

It also coincided with such a catastrophe this year, which caused domestic food prices to skyrocket, and the people were struggling to make a living.

"Tuo'er can have this heart, and the widow is very relieved, but now the big cadres are full of holes, the national strength is not supported, and it is still reluctant to protect itself, how can they have the spare strength to conquer Rongdi again?"

The Taiji Holy Emperor shook his head again and again, sighing non-stop, obviously for the mess of the Daqian Dynasty, which has only been established for more than ten years, he is also feeling tricky, and he is at a loss!

"Father, son-in-law understands......"

Zhao Tuo bowed deeply, but he couldn't help but think of the hideous scar left by the battlefield on his father's face, as well as the old face that was full of fatigue and ravines......

"Newspaper~~! Huang Shan, the head of the East Factory, has an urgent visit!! ”

At this moment, the sudden sound of singing interrupted the sad faces of everyone in the hall, and all the important ministers couldn't help but glance at each other, but they didn't know what important thing happened suddenly?

The Tai Chi Holy Emperor frowned, and although his thoughts were interrupted, he still endured the displeasure in his heart and said loudly.

"Xuanhuang is good to see you."

Suddenly, the ministers were solemn, and no one spoke a word, all of them were lined up on both sides, waiting for the arrival of Huang Shan, the head of the thousand households, with a solemn face.

"Slave and maid, see Your Majesty!"

However, in a moment's breath, Huang Shan had already hurried over, but he didn't squint, and he didn't look at the civil and military ministers on both sides, but saluted respectfully, kowtowed, and bowed.

As for Zhang Fang, the commander of Dongchang, who was standing beside the Holy Emperor, he didn't even look at him.

The Holy Emperor closed his eyes tightly and touched his forehead with one hand, and his heart was still worried about the flood relief, so he waved his hand impatiently and immediately inquired.

"That's it! Get up quickly, what is so urgent? ”

"Your Majesty! The son of Zhang Daren, the commander of Dongchang, Zhang Xiao committed murder on the street and killed the people's daughters, and was met by His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes and His Royal Highness the Seventh Princess, who were out of the palace in micro-clothes......"

As soon as Huang Shan spoke, everyone in the hall was shocked, and even the Taiji Holy Emperor couldn't help but suddenly open his eyes when he heard the name of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes!

Especially the Admiral of Dongchang himself, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and suddenly stared at Huang Shan with a nervous face!

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes is kind-hearted and pure-hearted, and he was furious on the spot, wanting Zhang Xiao to go to the government to surrender and be convicted, but Zhang Xiao refused, threw a bow and in front of His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, constantly made provocative remarks, and was extremely arrogant......"

When the Taiji Holy Emperor and the National Master Bu Li heard this, they couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the Nine Emperor Princes, Zhao Zheng, had not been harmed!

And Huang Shan didn't care about how shocking what he said, and he took care of himself and then truthfully behaved.

"His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes was provoked, and he was also drunk to cheer up, and he shot with a bow on the spot, and then pierced the skull with that horrific arrow, and instantly shot to death on the spot!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent, especially Zhang Fang, the commander of the East Factory, who was the most shocked!

'Bang! ’

But it was a 'clang', the dust in his hand fell down, and then rolled repeatedly, all the way from the high platform to Huang Shan's approach, which was embarrassing......

……

"Zhang Fangzhi, the great eunuch at the beginning of the Qiandai Dynasty, once served as the commander of the Dongchang and the eunuch of the palm seal of the secret service agency in the early Qiandai.

He is one of the five permanent servants of the palace, but because of the privilege of supervising the world of the Admiral Dongchang, he has the potential to be the head of the five permanent attendants.

However, his life is forbearing, implicit but not revealed, although one person is above 10,000 people, but he has never committed any bad deeds, and has never taken advantage of the situation to act recklessly.

He has been diligent and conscientious all his life, and he has won the trust of the Taiji Holy Emperor.

During his more than ten years in charge of Dongchang, he fought with Qi Yan's remnants and the secret of the enemy country, which was thrilling and could be sung and cried!

The Holy Emperor of Tai Chi praised in public and said: 'Release, the enemy is as cruel as ice and snow, and the friend is as soft as the spring breeze and snow, and it is really the shadow of the country! ’

However, the only fatal thing is that there is no way to teach the son!

His son Zhang Xiao, who used his father's power to supervise the world, was arrogant and arrogant in the township, which was really the anger of people and gods!

Later, his son killed the people's daughter in the street, and was occasionally encountered by the first emperor, and shot angrily, an arrow pierced the skull, and his life was killed on the spot!

The great mourning of the news, because of the disaster of his son, blinded his own heart, and mistakenly made the enemy of the first emperor, but he was also the enemy of the great trend of the world!

Later, he degraded the civilians, lived a lonely life, drifted away, and died miserably! ”
