Chapter 820: It's hard to convince the public

It took the prince a whole day to memorize them, and although he was a little nervous, he was not panicked.

"Father, this matter, thanks to Erchen's teacher Mr. Jiang Bojiang, he rushed to Chang'an from his hometown before, and saw the tragedy of the common people along the way, and his heart ached, so he could only find Erchen, hoping that Erchen could tell his father about this matter.

The reason why Erchen didn't immediately tell his father was because Erchen only listened to the teacher at that time, and there was no evidence, and besides, the identity of the teacher was only a cloth cloth now, so Erchen could only secretly let the people around him go to Bozhou to investigate, and got the situation that Erchen had just told his father. ”

As he spoke, the prince presented the notebook in his hand with both hands: "This is a transcript written by Erchen according to the description of Bozhou by the people around him, please take a look at it." ”

The emperor raised his hand, Wang Fulai walked down, took the notebook, then turned around and stepped on the imperial steps, and handed the notebook to the emperor.

The Emperor looked down, and when he looked up, his eyes were already full of anger.

He threw the notebook down and smashed it in front of Prime Minister Li Yuanxi, and scolded angrily: "Prime Minister, what are you doing? I asked you to open a warehouse to release grain and help those people, how did you do things for me? ”

Prime Minister Li Yuanxi hurriedly knelt on the ground, picked up the book from the ground, and wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve while reading.

After a while, after reading it, he immediately raised his head and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that these people are simply Diao people, and the emperor opens a warehouse to release grain to help them, even if they can't eat enough, they can't insult the emperor." ”

The emperor was so angry that he scolded, "Is this what I said? What I'm saying is that I've been given food, so why can't they still have enough to eat? How did you become a prime minister? "8090 Chinese

Li Yuanxi: "Your Majesty, the ministers are all arranged according to your orders for each city, according to the number of people affected by the disaster, and the standard of relief for the victims is also according to the standard of two meals a day, one bowl of rice and two big steamed buns per meal."

According to this standard, although you will not eat very much, you will not be hungry to that extent, and if Lord Qian has distributed food in full according to that amount, then it is a situation of corruption and fraud among the people below.

This is also caused by the minister's lax supervision, the minister is willing to make up for the fault, please ask the emperor to hand over the matter to the minister, and the minister must thoroughly investigate the matter. ”

The emperor looked at Li Yuanxi's confession, and the anger in his heart disappeared a little, although he is the prime minister, he does have the responsibility of not being strict in supervision, but the Longling Kingdom is so big, although he is the prime minister, it is difficult to supervise the world.

The emperor was about to ask Li Yuanxi to go down to investigate the matter thoroughly, when an imperial historian spoke.

"Your Majesty, this matter was originally in charge of Prime Minister Li, but now there is a problem, and let Lord Li investigate by himself, isn't this his own investigation, it is difficult to convince the public, the minister is afraid that when the time comes, even if Lord Li finds out the truth of the matter, informs the emperor, and announces the world, but the people of the world, I am afraid they are not willing to believe Lord Li.

This is a big loss to the emperor's wisdom and Lord Li's reputation, so the minister feels that this matter cannot be handed over to Lord Li to investigate thoroughly. ”

After listening to the words of the imperial history, the emperor also felt that there was some truth, so he dispelled this idea.

He thought for a moment, "Since this matter was brought up by the prince, then I will leave this matter to the prince to deal with." ”
