The atmosphere in the study became a little stagnant for a moment.

There was an official who seemed to have just been an official for a short time, about the same age as Qi Huan, and his head was already covered with sweat at this time.

The young official moved, and just as he wanted to stand up and speak, Taishou took a step ahead of him and knelt in front of the prince.

"The lower official has always known about this matter, and it was also ordered by the lower official to do this."

Before the prince could speak, the young official also knelt down: "This matter was raised by the lower official, and it is all the fault of the lower official, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to blame, it will be better to blame the lower official, and it has nothing to do with Lord Taishou." ”

The rest of the adults knelt down: "We all agree to this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be punished, and even we will be punished together." ”

The crown prince laughed angrily, "Could it be that in the eyes of all the adults, this palace is the kind of person who condemns people indiscriminately?" ”

Hearing the meaning of the prince's words, the young official was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Naturally not, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is discerning, and naturally he is not the kind of person who is indiscriminate." ”

"Okay, don't be a sycophant, explain the reason to this palace, if there are extenuating circumstances, this palace will deal with it at its discretion."

"Actually, there was no charge to enter the city at first." Tai Shou said: "It's just because the victims are all coming to Cangzhou City, and Cangzhou City can accommodate only a limited number of victims, and after there are more victims, there are more fights and thefts in the city......"

Cangzhou City has flooded too many victims for a while, and it is impossible for Taishou to send people to surround the disaster area and prevent the victims from moving, maybe those fights and thefts are often not caused by the victims, or they are framed, but in extraordinary times, they do not have the manpower to investigate the truth.

There are priorities, and it is true that a series of problems have been caused after the victims enter the city, so in order not to worsen the situation, they have to propose a fee to enter the city.

The cost of entering the city is five taels for one person, and those who enter the city must also ensure that they still have money to spare, and they can not rely on the government for relief, otherwise they are not allowed to enter the city.

"All the silver taels we received were used for the victims outside the city, and we didn't take a penny."

There are refugees in the sheds outside the city who do it themselves, and they only need to provide materials, saving a lot of labor costs, but whether it is the doctor or the disaster victims, it costs money.

Let's just say that this doctor, people are willing to be free, and they are too guarded and unwilling, at this time, it is not easy for anyone, and there is no reason for people to work in vain.

But it was just a little bit of meaning, and it was not enough for the doctor's standard to visit the doctor, and the doctor didn't say anything.

for they shall spend a great amount of silver on the purchase of grain.

"Although there are regulations in the imperial court, but in the event of a disaster, the price of private grain is also rising again and again, before the disaster silver was stolen, and now the prince has arrived, and it has been delayed for another month, if it were not for the collection of these entry fees, and the generosity of some wealthy businessmen in the city, I would not have been able to hold on for so long."

The prince listened quietly, during which Taishou wanted to see what the prince's reaction was, and found that he couldn't guess the prince's thoughts, and he was inevitably apprehensive for a while.

He didn't know the crown prince, and although they did this kind of thing, although the intention was good, after all, they violated the law of Daliang.

When they decided to do it, they had already prepared for the worst, but they still had expectations in their hearts.

It's not clear what the prince means now......

Taishou was still thinking about things, when he saw the prince suddenly stand up and walk to them, and helped Taishou up: "Ladies and gentlemen, please get up." ”

After the kneeling officials stood up, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the prince say: "Your Excellency, this palace will thank you for the suffering people." ”

As he spoke, he bowed to the officials.

The official was so frightened that he hurriedly avoided the prince's salute, and the prince was shivering after dodging it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be like this, these are what the ministers should do, and the prince bows to the ministers, which is the torture of the ministers."

"Yes, yes, how can the ministers be able to accept the prince's gift!"

The prince smiled and said sincerely: "Your lords' hearts are for the people, and this palace admires your lords, so why not?" ”

What else did the official want to say, but the prince waved his hand, "Although there is a reason for the incident and there are extenuating circumstances, it is a fact that you have violated the law of Daliang, if you let you go and spread it, where is the majesty of my Daliang law, so you should still be punished." ”

The officials hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, this is as it should be." ”

Prince: "It's just that the top priority is to deal with the affairs of the victims first, and other matters will be discussed later." ”

……

Mrs. Taishou Ke Xi has seen it, and among the officials and relatives who went to the porridge today, it was Mrs. Taishou who took the lead.

Mrs. Taishou is very kind, and chatting with Ke Xi will not deliberately get closer to Ke Xi, nor will Ke Xi feel that he is being left out, which makes Ke Xi have a great impression of this Mrs. Taishou for a while.

Mrs. Taishou led Ke Xi to the place, took out a set of clothes and said to Ke Xi: "Princess, this is the little girl's newly cut clothes, she hasn't worn it yet, it may be a little older for the princess, so the princess will take care of it first." ”

Ke Xi waved his hand: "It's good to wear it, I just want to take a hot shower now." ”

Mrs. Taishou was amused by Ke Xi, handed over the clothes to the maid, and asked the maid to take Ke Xi to take a bath.

Ke Xi didn't have the habit of taking a bath and letting people watch from the side, so he sent the maid out.

Ke Xi, who took a hot bath again, felt so happy.

After leaving the inn, she never had a chance to take a bath, not even her face.

After taking a hot bath happily and changing her clothes, the maid took Ke Xi to Mrs. Taishou again.

At this time, there were two girls sitting next to Mrs. Taishou, one was a little older, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and the other was about the same grade as her.

Seeing Ke Xi coming, Mrs. Taishou hurriedly got up, and the two girls also got up.

Mrs. Taishou introduced: "Princess, these are the two daughters of the concubine, Qin Ya and Qin Ling, the concubine is afraid that the princess will be bored, so she calls them here privately and talks to the princess." ”

The two girls saluted Ke Xi: "See the princess." ”

"Two sisters, hurry up, there are not so many rules when you go out, just be casual."

The two secretly looked at Mrs. Taishou, and when they saw Mrs. Taishou nodding, they got up.

"Princess Xie."

Ke Xi scratched his head a little embarrassed, "I didn't expect Madame to call you here, it's my fault to disturb your sleep so late." ”

Qin Ya smiled and said: "Don't say that, princess, it's a blessing for our sisters to be able to chat with the princess, and when the time comes, go out and brag to other young ladies, which can arouse a lot of envious eyes." ”

Qin Ling also smiled and said: "When the time comes, the princess will be bored, and we can invite some little sisters to come over and play with the princess." ”

Ke Xi was a little yearning, but he still shook his head: "No, at this time, it's not good to have a good time, and I still have to follow the prince's brother to see if there is anything I need help with." ”

Qin Ya looked at Ke Xi, and her eyes suddenly changed.
