Chapter 261 Disaster Relief
On the second day, Murong Sheng went to the morning court as usual.
The court is not peaceful today, but today Jing Beihou is absent, many people have heard about it, because Murong Sheng is there, they don't dare to talk in private, but everyone knows it, but no one dares to talk about it at Murong Sheng's current time.
The emperor looked at the gloomy atmosphere below, and he drooped his eyes, "How is the matter of the famine discussed by Zhong Aiqing?" Is there a solution? ”
There was silence in the crowd, and no one was ready to speak.
Mu Jiuqing stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister has a question in his heart, why is there a sudden famine now that the sowing season has just begun?" ”
The prime minister also stood up to refute, "Listening to Lord Mu's question, is it questioning that someone is cheating, and it is not possible to report false news?" ”
Mu Jiuqing stood straight, and was not angry because of the prime minister's forced questioning, he said: "The minister just thinks it's a little strange, just ask, why should the prime minister be angry." ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood up and said: "Now the top priority is to discuss first, how to relieve the disaster, this famine is not a trivial matter, if you delay a little longer, hundreds of people will be starving." ”
Having said this, Mu Jiuqing didn't want to ask any more questions, so he silently retreated to his position.
There were many doubts this time, so he still mentioned it to the prince in private.
"So, what countermeasures have all Aiqing thought of, and who will go to this disaster relief?"
The emperor looked down on these people, and when they quarreled, they said a word to me, but no one came up with a plan.
The crowd bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak, for fear that their names would be called.
Murong Sheng waited for a long time, but no one stood up, he walked out, "Erchen is willing to go, the people are suffering at this time, please ask Father and Emperor Grace to allow Erchen to go with disaster relief food." ”
The emperor's face sank, "Are there any other people who are willing to go?" ”
There was no sound below, and there was no one who looked up.
Mu Jiuqing hesitated for a moment, then walked out and stood beside Murong Sheng, "I am willing to go together." ”
In the entire court, there were only two people who were willing to go, but Mu Jiuqing didn't say anything first, but Murong Sheng was the first to stand up every time something happened.
The emperor's face is not very good-looking, what does this mean, they know that something happened, and someone gave it to him.
However, this person who contributes is often not pleased, and it can be seen from this incident that the rumors circulating among the people are better than waves.
This group of people are all calling his son as a cow, and some people dare to spread rumors and make trouble.
Everyone hadn't heard the emperor's answer for a long time, and they were all muttering in their hearts.
The second prince secretly looked at Murong Sheng, lowered his head with just one look, and hooked the corners of his mouth at Murong Sheng.
After waiting for a long time, no one has come forward, and the emperor's heart has been completely disappointed in them.
"Since this is the case, then the prince goes, Mu Jiuqing will accompany him, and he will leave in three days, I will give you the power, open the treasury, and deliver food to the disaster area without delay."
Murong Sheng and Mu Jiuqing knelt down, "Erchen obeys the order." ”
"Obey."
After kneeling, Murong Sheng and the two returned to their original positions.
The emperor groaned, "This matter is solved, and there is one more thing, have you ever heard that the fifth elder will cut off the tongue of the prince of Jingbei?" ”
"This ......"
There was a lot of discussion and restlessness at the bottom.
The little eunuch immediately said: "In front of the holy driver, don't make noise!" ”
The second prince stood up at this stall, "Back to my father's words, I have heard it, and my son wants to say that the seventh brother is really too reckless, no matter how wrong this is the prince of Jingbei, you can't cut off people's ears!" ”
The emperor looked unpredictable, "Oh? What do you hear about? ”
The second prince looked at Murong Sheng, and the provocation in his eyes was full of meaning, "Erchen heard that it was because someone said that the fifth brother was a disaster star, and this ......"
The rest of the words don't need to be said, everyone knows it, and they have heard everything they should have heard, and their hearts are like mirrors.
The emperor pointed to the prime minister, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
The prime minister panicked in his heart, and his face was silent, "If you go back to the emperor, the minister feels that it is understandable for His Royal Highness the Seventh to do this, after all, His Royal Highness the Seventh has a deep relationship with the prince, but it is indeed a bit heavier." ”
Mu Jiuqing couldn't help but say: "The minister thinks that the prince of Jingbei Hou deserves it, and he arranged to be the prince of the court in the market in public, even if he killed him directly, it is not an exaggeration, not to mention just cutting out his tongue." ”
The son of a subordinate said bad things about the prince in public, and even said that the prince was a disaster star, that is, he died a hundred times, and Mu Jiuqing felt that it was right.
"Could it be that these words were taught by Jingbei Hou? Since he came out, he represented the entire Jingbei Hou Mansion, and dared to insult the crown prince of the dynasty, which was a capital crime. ”
As soon as Mu Jiuqing's words came out, everyone present nodded, "Yes, insulting the prince, this is a capital crime, and it is not wrong for His Highness the Seventh Highness to do this." ”
"Yes, the friendship between His Royal Highness the Seventh and the crown prince is deep, how can I hear others slandering the prince."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made too many contributions to our dynasty over the years to count, and these rats dare to slander His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, and it is not too much to kill him!"
Seeing that the remarks were becoming more and more intense, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites stood up with small steps, "The minister feels that there are many doubts, it stands to reason that the person Jingbei Hou has always been rigorous, and the prince of Jingbei Hou must have been deceived by someone by someone for such a behavior in the market, and it is better to investigate this matter first." ”
The prime minister also agreed: "The minister also thinks that it is better to find out the matter clearly, and then talk about it, whose fault it is, should be investigated first, and then the fault should be discussed." ”
Murong Sheng didn't give the second prince a look from beginning to end, he stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly, and expressed his thoughts, "Erchen agrees with the prime minister, first find out who is behind the scenes, this matter is clear, someone is manipulating it behind." ”
The Emperor sat down in the dragon chair, trying to keep himself from coughing, and he leaned back.
"Dali Temple."
Li Mo, the named Dali Temple, stood up with a bow, "The minister is here." ”
"You must find out about this matter, I give you five days, can you do it?"
Li Mo dared to say no, and responded loudly: "The minister obeys the order." ”
The emperor continued: "The prince does not need to participate in this matter, and the power is given to Dali Siqing, the prince, your main task is to prepare for disaster relief, and I will give you justice in this matter." ”
Murong Sheng: "Yes, Erchen obeys the order." ”
The second prince quietly retreated, as if nothing had happened just now.
The little eunuch spoke: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." ”
It was quiet at this time, and the little eunuch observed them carefully, and said loudly: "Retreat!" ”
"Congratulations to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
After the emperor left, as soon as Mu Jiuqing approached Murong Sheng, a little eunuch walked towards Murong Sheng, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor has ordered you to go to the imperial study." ”
Murong Sheng nodded, "Got it." ”
After the little eunuch left, Murong Sheng looked at Mu Jiuqing, "What's the matter?" ”
Mu Jiuqing bowed his hand to Murong Sheng, and he said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go first, and the minister will wait for you outside the palace gate." ”
