"Minister Jiang doesn't ask for the life of the disaster victims on the left!" Jiang Buwei knelt in the center of the Taiji Hall, holding a petition of 10,000 people.

Bei Yin tilted his neck and bent his fingers and plucked his ears: "What kind of life, please?" Hasn't the food money for disaster relief already been allocated? ”

"The money for grain was allocated to the left, but the people on the left received chaff!" Jiang Buwei continued to hold the scroll.

"Oh, then why don't they eat meat?" Bei Yin flicked his fingernails and sat up and asked.

His Highness was shocked, some snickered and some shook their heads, and suddenly there was a commotion.

Jiang Buwei pursed his lips and closed his eyes and let out a sigh, and continued to speak: "Zhang Gaizhi's embezzlement of the town's grain money is already well known, please the emperor, make the decision for the 100,000 people on the left!" ”

"Really? I don't know! Are you scolding me for not being human? ”

"Your Majesty! Weichen has no such intention, and the emperor doesn't know, because no one complains, everyone is afraid of responsibility, and everyone just wants to protect themselves. Since no one has sued, it starts with Weichen! ”

Gu Peikai saw that no one made a sound, so he took a step forward: "Jiang Shilang's words are a slap in the face to all the officials in the Sizheng Palace." Zhang Gaizhi has no corruption or not, he has his own imperial history supervision and the left captain, not to mention that at this time, the disaster relief is the sole responsibility of the King of Qi. ”

King Ming had already guessed that Gu Peikai couldn't let out any good farts on the side, and pulling out King Qi was just to pull him out.

"Master Jiang said that Zhang Gaizhi swallowed it privately, so where did he put the king of Qi? Or do you want to say that King Qi and Zhang Gaizhi are in collusion? ”

Everyone understood that they had already been accustomed to Gu Peikai's routine. Gu Peikai was able to sit in the position of auxiliary politician because his brain walked in front of his mouth.

"When the grain of the court reaches the hands of the people, there is not one out of ten, and it is less than one percent, which is still dregs! Emperor! Please open your eyes and see that the bones of the homeless people are all over the field, and there are tens of thousands of people who have starved to death! If the imperial court does not thoroughly investigate and treat it, I am afraid of rebellion! Jiang Buwei beat his chest and was excited, and he hated to dig out the hearts of those who were full of private pockets and see what color it was.

"Left left, left! It's the left again! It's the left every day! Do you have an idea? Bei Yinxin half-clenched his fists, and his knee-prone thumbs rubbed the corners of his clothes.

"The minister thinks that the victims are not terrible, and they are afraid that people with ulterior motives will take advantage of the disaster to cause chaos, so they should send troops to station as soon as possible to prevent rebellion." King Ming stepped forward.

"Never! In the year of the famine, the people mostly protected themselves, and most of the princely fiefs were closed to the city, and the people's grievances were boiling! At this time, disaster relief should be the priority, otherwise not only the left, but also the entire Dazhi people's hearts will be lost! Jiang Buwei waved his hands and bowed, and burst into tears.

"What does Jiang Shilang think?" Bei Yin moved his ass forward and bowed to ask.

"The victims of the disaster have nothing to eat, and the court has no food to eat, and the court has the first priority to live in peace in addition to releasing grain. If the victims continue to flow at this time and cross the Wuxing River, the river will be chaotic within a month! ”

"Jiang is not so alarmist for you, what is his intention?" King Rui pointed at Jiang Pseudo's nose and asked.

Above the court, you talk to me, and there are disputes, almost to the point of fighting. Bei Yin was heartily upset, shouted "Okay, okay", and ordered to retire and discuss tomorrow.

Bei Yinxin has been in charge for only half a year, and he is dizzy and restless every day, so he knows the hard work of governance. Fang felt the benefits of Liu Yan's imprisonment of the country, and regretted that he had listened to the instigation of King Ming to let Liu Yan return to power.

Bei Yinxin walked briskly through the Imperial Garden and went straight to Taikang Palace.

Liu Yan sat on the soft couch in the main hall of Taikang Palace, and did not expect that one day the phoenix hairpin on top of his head would also make his neck hurt.

Bei Yinxin came in with a car of politeness, and her ears gradually blurred when she squinted and listened.

suddenly remembered that when he was fourteen years old, he traveled to Huzhou for the first time with his father Liu Zong.

She wore a golden silk hollow butterfly corolla on her head, and she only felt fresh and beautiful at that time, and she didn't care if the weight of the corolla could bear it.

After 50 years, I often remember the depressed appearance of my unbunned hair when I fled.

"Is there something wrong with the emperor?" Liu Yan didn't know what Bei Yinxin said, and suddenly spoke.

"The Queen Mother Shengming. It's still a matter of the left, the court has its own opinions, and the sons can't make up their minds, so they come to ask the queen mother for instructions. ”

Liu Yan slowly raised the eyebrows of the mole and did not speak.

"But it doesn't hurt to say the queen mother."

The emperor forgot so quickly, the words "the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics", the words are still in the ears, and the dreams come and go at night, like an alarm bell ringing for a long time, always reminding the mourning family to know how to let go and enjoy happiness with peace of mind. ”

"It's the son's fault, please punish the queen mother." Bei Yin knelt down in response.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Liu Yan read it in her mouth, and her personal maid Qiu Hong stepped forward to help Bei Yinxin.

"What is this for? Have something to say slowly. Liu Yan sighed lightly: "What did Taifu say?" ”

"Qu You is not in charge of the government since his mother, so he has not been in court since he got sick."

"Qu You is indeed old, and it is normal to be powerless."

"Erchen felt that he was dissatisfied with Erchen, so he lied that he was sick."

"Nonsense!" Liu Yanben didn't want to blame Bei Yin, firstly because he was the Son of Heaven, secondly, because he was no longer confused, and more importantly, because he was not his own child.

"In this way, you instructed Qu You, Gu Peikai, Jiang Buwei, Du Chengwei, and the prince, this afternoon, you come here with them to the mourning family, and the mourning family will help you listen, how about it?"

"The son thanked his mother."

"Between you and me, mother and son, say thank you and see each other." Liu Yan smiled and got up and walked to the dormitory.

Of course, Bei Yinxin knew that he had fallen into Liu Yan's position again, he had been on the throne for ten years, and Liu Yan had been listening to politics for nine and a half years. The capable ministers in the court were all cultivated and promoted by Liu Yan.

Before the kings asked for a decree to return to power, he and Liu Yan were still able to live in peace. Half a year since she returned to politics, Liu Yan has been living for the past six months, but she has not been idle behind the scenes.

Every time Bei Yinxin saw Liu Yan's smiling expression, he felt a pestle in his heart. He always felt that the queen mother, who killed her own son and put her son on the throne, was hiding another face.

The palace walls are deep, and all that is locked is a delicate heart.

On the Prince's Mansion, the guards were far away from the council hall, the doors and windows in the hall were closed, the uncle Yang Yan, the auxiliary Gu Peikai, and the official Gu Dong of the Prince's Mansion sat separately on the left and right, and Bei Yinhuai paced back and forth in the middle.

"What now?" Yang Yan broke the silence.

"Except for the Queen Mother, I'm afraid no one can sit in the overall situation of Dazhi." Gu Dong touched his short beard.

"If the Queen Mother comes forward at this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up the situation in the future." Yang Yan got up, "Our efforts are all wasted." ”

"But I am the crown prince of Dazhi, how can I give up the people's hearts because of the queen mother's dictatorship?"

"What the prince said is very true." Gu Peikai stepped forward, "In fact, as long as the crescent moon is removed, once the Queen Mother is mourned, there will be no trouble." ”

Gu Dong nodded and seconded: "The base camp of the Crescent Moon Man is in Yuezhao Mountain, a few steps away, and the Queen Mother is dependent on each other, so it should have been removed a long time ago." ”

"Among them, there is a good lady, the ancestor is the Crescent Moon Imperial Doctor, if only I could take her to the left this time." Gu Peikai drank tea and pretended to say it casually.

At this time, Wei Hailong knocked on the door outside, and said that the emperor invited the crown prince Gu Peikai to Taikang Palace in the afternoon.

The sun is warm at noon, and the orange cat under the sun-dried Taikang Palace porch is extraordinarily lazy.

Qu is old, and Liu Yan sits. Everyone else, except for the emperor, stood in the hall.

"The minister received a report yesterday that Yao Boyang is gathering troops and wants to take the victims across the river." Qu You's voice is hoarse, and he speaks with a unique slow rhythm, which is reassuring.

"What does he want to do?" Bei Yin was stupid.

"If you lead the people out of the ministry, your heart should be punished." Liu Yan slowly raised her head.

"The left section is now old, weak, sick and disabled, and is not enough to pose a threat." Jiang Buwei didn't know what the song meant, but his position would not be affected by others.

"What does the queen think?" Bei Yin asked Liu Yan sincerely.

"Right now, you think what's most important is what's important." Liu Yan sat upright, facing everyone.

"Of course, the most important thing is the victims." Jiang didn't rush to answer.

"Then how to explain the unfavorable disaster relief of the imperial court?" Liu Yan continued to ask.

"Somebody's getting in the way." Jiang Buwei continued to answer.

"Who is it?"

"Yes" Chiang did not stop at the words, he could not accuse the kings without evidence.

"I'll tell you," Liu Yan blocked Jiang Buwei: "It's the princes who occupy half of the country." ”

Everyone didn't dare to answer, and they all looked at Bei Yin.

"It's not that I want to take revenge with my own interests, the current fact is that it is not only for disaster relief, but also to check and balance the princes."

"What, what kind of checks and balances?" Bei Yin sincerely heard Liu Yan say this, and only then did he let go of his worries in his heart.

"First of all, the left part of the disaster suppression, you can't just rely on the imperial court, the nearby states, roads, counties and counties should be mobilized, if you can levy it, you can borrow it from big households."

When Gu Peikai heard the word "borrow", he had to admire Liu Yan.

"The court gave him an IOU, as long as they are willing to help the victims survive the famine, the court will also reward him, and his children will be recommended by Lord Qu." Liu Yan looked at Qu You with a smile.

Although most of the people in Jixian Pavilion are the children and grandchildren of officials, they are also notoriously strict.

"Re-appoint a special envoy to take full responsibility, including investigating Shi Changgeng's embezzlement of grain funds. If there is a mistake in the distribution of grain, whoever it is, just bring it to the account. ”

After Liu Yan finished speaking, Jiang Bu shook his head for the first one.

"Zhang Gaizhi is an example, it is he who is responsible for making such a fuss!" Jiang Buwei was heartbroken.

"Jiang Shilang, don't worry. The Beiyin family is united in the same spirit, not only to share happiness, but also to share weal and hardship. Princes are favored by the state, and when the country is in trouble, they should also bear it together. Liu Yan only then talked about the prince.

"The grain and money are shared, and the people's danger is the country's crisis. At present, it is incumbent on the people to resist, if there are those who resist, they will be regarded as resisting the will, those who are not saved in danger of the country, and sinners through the ages, everyone should be punished. ”

"What if the princes unite to resist the payment?" Bei Yinzhen finally seized the opportunity to doubt once.

"Those who resist the payment are also traitors! Isn't this a famous teacher? ”

"I'm afraid it will cause unrest." Qu You knows that there are many difficulties, and if this is the case, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

"Isn't it messy now? The people are all corpses all over the field, when has the wine and meat of Zhumen been broken? What the Taifu is worried about is also what the mourning family is worried about, so I also ask you to think of a way to calm down the situation without knowing how to fight. ”

Liu Yan's sentence was thrown out, and everyone couldn't catch it.

Liu Yan knew this, and he didn't have hope for them: "I have ordered the Wei family army to stand by and wait for dispatch at any time. Tomorrow morning, the pilgrimage will be edicted, who is the appropriate person to serve as the special envoy for disaster relief in the left department? ”

"You need to be a general, right?" Qu You replied cautiously.

"The general only takes people, but who dares to give an order?" Liu Yan paused and looked at Bei Yinhuai, who was standing aside without saying a word: "In my opinion, if you want to do this, you have to be this alone." ”

Everyone looked up at Liu Yan: "That's the prince." ”
