As soon as the emperor was angry, the eldest prince was terrified.

He thought he had said the wrong thing, so he knelt down before speaking.

"The retainers are guilty, the sons are guilty!"

"You're guilty, I'm guilty!"

Emperor Yongtai was angry and kicked over the eldest prince Xiao Chengye.

I know how to kneel all day, and I don't know how to say something useful.

Xiao Chengye was even more frightened, his father was going to make an edict against himself!

"Woo woo woo ......"

He burst out crying, "Erchen is incompetent! The sons can't share the worries of their fathers, the sons are incompetent! ”

It's quite incompetent.

Emperor Yongtai listened to his cry, his ears buzzed, and he died.

What he needs now is not to cry on his knees, but to do so, concrete data, how big the drought is, how much damage he has suffered. What are the officials down there doing, and why hasn't there been a single report on the drought.

And, is there a way to remedy this year's farming, and can it be replanted?

The more the eldest prince cried, the more irritable Emperor Yongtai became.

He roared, "Shut up!" ”

The eldest prince, Xiao Chengye, stopped his mouth and sobbed carefully.

Emperor Yongtai grimaced and asked angrily: "There is a great drought in the world, do you know what the specific situation is?" Is there a solution? ”

Xiao Chengye was a little confused, he was in a hurry to earn performance, and he didn't have time to understand the specific situation.

Moreover, the strategists around him are actually not clear about the local drought situation. After all, there was no personal visit to investigate.

The strategists all learned from the letters of their fellow villagers and classmates that this year's drought had already spread all over the world.

When Emperor Yongtai saw that he didn't speak for a long time, he knew that he didn't know anything, and it was in vain to ask.

He waved his hand and sent his eldest son away.

It's no wonder that he was disappointed in his eldest son, he was not young, he was rough and unorganized.

Over the years, it has grown a little, but it is far below expectations.

I only think about how to earn performance and how to get ahead, and I don't have the patience and perseverance to do practical things at all.

Xiao Chengye was a little unwilling, he deliberately went to the palace to report the message, and if he didn't get praise, he didn't even dislike it.

He slipped out of Xingqing Palace and muttered secretly: "Father is getting more and more difficult to serve." ”

Out of the palace and back home.

It is indispensable to complain in front of the strategists.

The strategist first self-examined, but the preparation was not in place, and the report materials were not comprehensive.

I didn't expect that the emperor would directly ask His Highness about the specific situation, instead of summoning officials to understand the situation.

In short, a counselor takes all the responsibility on himself.

Your Highness......

His Highness, of course, is not responsible.

His Royal Highness is wise and martial, resourceful and unparalleled, and he is the chosen son, and he will definitely inherit the throne and become a new generation of Ming Jun.

What is it?

This is the self-cultivation of being a strategist.

I want to eat!

If you eat His Royal Highness's meal, you have to take the blame for His Highness and pat His Highness's ass.

This is the professionalism of a strategist, born to be a man of the back.

It can only be said that the bowl of rice of the strategist is not delicious.

Money is hard to earn, shi is hard to eat.

Of course, this also has something to do with the low level of the strategists around the eldest prince.

A real strategist is one who will not be a strategist for the eldest prince, and would rather die at home for an idle meal than be happy to eat this bowl of rancid rice.

The eldest prince Xiao Chengye touched his head, so he began to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and no longer wanted to rely on the great drought in the world to earn performance.

The other princes saw a joke and privately said that he was a mallet.

The second prince Xiao Chengwen: "......"

I didn't expect the boss to be so eager!

gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson, which really gave him infinite courage and self-confidence.

It's a pity that the boss's courage and self-confidence are bubbles, which burst when poked and can't withstand the beating.

……

Emperor Yongtai was extremely disgusted with his eldest son, but now he didn't have time to dislike his son.

He was worried about the drought.

Jin Wuwei was ordered to make a secret visit, and ordered Xiuyi Wei to go out to understand the situation everywhere.

Convene the prime minister, the captain, and the chief officials of the yamen to hold a court meeting.

MMP, there is a great drought in the world, and no one has reported it, can this be a human thing?

“…… Aren't all Aiqing corpse vegetarians? If you are not competent, say it, there are a lot of talented people in the world, waiting to replace you Aiqing. ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!"

"Enough! Don't talk nonsense! I asked, who knows the specific situation? Who has a specific disaster relief charter? None of them! Get out! Three days later, if there is no specific disaster relief document, I will personally pick off the official hats and uniforms of all Aiqing! ”

Emperor Yongtai lost his temper, but his anger did not subside in the slightest.

When he returned to the dormitory, he smashed half of the room's ornaments in one go.

Sun Bangnian and Sun Gonggong didn't dare to breathe.

What's more, the other chamberlains Huang Men trembled one by one, just like quails, and only hated that there was no crack in the hall for them to drill.

After smashing half of the room, Emperor Yongtai's mood finally eased a little.

He gasped and fell onto the table, half-lying, his face pale.

Sun Bangnian offered a cup of tea at just the right temperature, "Your Majesty dissipates your anger and takes a sip of tea to moisten your throat." ”

"Humph!"

Emperor Yongtai snorted coldly, "All of them are chaotic ministers and thieves, and in such a big drought, no one took the initiative to report it." What do Jin Wuwei and Xiuyiwei do to eat? A bunch of waste. ”

Sun Bangnian said a fair word for Liangwei: "Jin Wuwei mainly focuses on the officials of the DPRK and China, and rarely has contact with the economy and people's livelihood. The embroidered guards are in charge of the security of the capital, and the places outside the capital are always overwhelmed. ”

"Humph! Hugh wants to excuse them, they are all a bunch of rubbish. ”

After scolding, Emperor Yongtai took the teacup and drank it all in one go.

Sun Bangnian served another cup of tea.

Emperor Yongtai ordered, "Summoning the Shaofu family order, and the household department will meet you!" ”

He had to find out how much grain the two yamen still had in stock, and whether it was enough for disaster relief.

If there is not enough food, what should be done?

……

Queen Tao ate white fungus soup, slowly, with a warm smile on her face.

"Niangniang, how does it taste?"

Boss Tao looked concerned.

Queen Tao said "um", "The taste is okay, and I will serve you a bowl too?" ”

Tao Lao Lian waved his hand repeatedly, "I don't need it, thank you Niangniang." ”

Empress Tao glanced at him, "How is the matter that asked you to investigate?" ”

"There is already news. This year is really difficult, not only the drought in Gyeonggi, but also the drought in Hedong and Hexi, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, Jizhou...... Drought occurred in many places. Where there is plenty of water, the situation is not bad. Where water is scarce, the situation is dire. If the disaster is not alleviated, many people will have no harvest this year, and they will have to sell their children and daughters. ”

"Oh!"

Queen Tao was noncommittal, "There is a great drought in the world, and the Tao family can take this opportunity to buy fields at a low price to make up for the losses of the previous two years." ”

Boss Tao smiled, "I hope so!" It's just that with such a big disaster, does the imperial court have the ability to provide disaster relief? I'm worried that there will be civil unrest. ”

Empress Tao sneered, "What if there is a civil unrest? Every few years, there are always several civil unrest. There were the Northern Army and the Southern Army, and the people were in turmoil, but it was just a group of local chickens and dogs, and the two armies were dispatched and disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”

"Mother is right! As long as there are northern and southern armies, civil unrest will not be able to break out, and will be extinguished in the blink of an eye. ”

Boss Tao took the reassuring pill, and his heart became more and more stable.

As long as the world is not in chaos, the Tao family can take this opportunity to make a windfall and make up for the lost silver before.

He added: "I've stockpiled a lot of food, and when the price continues to rise, I'll sell it slowly." ”

Empress Tao told him, "Your Majesty is busy with disaster relief, and Jingcang and Shaofu definitely don't have enough food." Don't take out the food in your hands first, beware of being remembered by Your Majesty. Wait until others start selling the grain, and then you sell it. Remember, don't be a bird. It doesn't matter if you earn a little less, the key is to save your life and not be targeted by Your Majesty. ”

"Don't worry, I'm measured! The emperor will not be able to find the handle. ”

When Queen Tao heard this, she smiled sarcastically, "Your Majesty wants to clean up the Tao family, why do you need to handle it." One trumped-up charge is enough to punish you with a capital crime! Don't forget your father's lessons. ”

Speaking of the deceased Old Man Tao, the brother and sister were silent.

Old Man Tao's death, how can there be any crime, a sentence of the country's important minister, will cost his life.

Empress Tao snorted coldly, "The drought is so severe, if it lasts for a short time, it doesn't matter. If it lasts for a year or two, Your Majesty may have to worry about not being able to sleep every day. Although the civil unrest was not a cause for concern, it was enough to drag down the imperial court's taxation and make it impossible for the imperial court to make ends meet. ”

"What do you mean?"

Empress Tao lowered her voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Prepare early!" When necessary, this palace can also be ruthless. ”

Boss Tao's heart skipped a beat, bang, bang...... Scared him to death.

His face turned pale and he was terrified, "Does Niangniang really plan to go that far?" ”

"If Your Majesty is willing to make Saburo the prince as soon as possible, naturally you don't have to go that far."

Boss Tao didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and listened to Queen Tao say: "However, watching Your Majesty's actions, you are getting more and more mean. Maybe one day, he'll order my life. ”

"I can't!"

Boss Tao's lips were dry, and he licked it subconsciously, his heart was nervous, excited and excited, and his whole body was trembling.

Empress Tao made a straight face, "Of course, these are all conjectures of this palace. You must always pay attention to the news of the world, and report to the palace in time. Don't wait for the local chaos to rise and alarm the imperial court, your news has just arrived in the capital. Be sure to get ahead of the court and send the news to the palace. ”

Tao Lao Lianlian nodded, "Through the firm, our eyeliner is all over the place. In some places, there are also our eyeliners in the yamen. ”

"So good! Don't be afraid to spend money, find a way to earn money if you don't have it. ”

The corners of Boss Tao's mouth twitched, and he thought: If you don't have money, you can find a way to make money, it's easy to say. Fortunately, thanks to this great drought in the world, you can make a fortune.

After talking about the matter, Queen Tao sent Boss Tao away.

She leaned on the Luohan couch and closed her eyes to recuperate.

Young Eunuch Mei waited by his side and asked in a low voice, "Niangniang, do you want to invite His Royal Highness Second to the palace to discuss?" His Royal Highness is well-informed, and may have other ideas. ”

Empress Tao shook her head slowly, "Don't call him." Go and call Saburo. The palace can't count on Erlang as soon as something happens, and after all, it still has to rely on Saburo to support this big stall. ”

"Niangniang is reasonable, it is time to give the Third Highness more opportunities to practice."

……

The third prince, Xiao Chengyi, likes to enter the palace very much.

Because he was that lucky pampered child.

When others enter the palace, they tremble and tremble, all kinds of inner dramas.

When he entered the palace, it was like going home, all kinds of freedom.

"Son to the queen mother, please be in peace! How is the queen mother these days? ”

He was in good spirits, and when he arrived at Weiyang Palace, he first asked his mother to say goodbye.

Empress Tao smiled and was very happy, "Sit down quickly and let the palace take a closer look." Skinny, have you been too busy lately? How did the subordinates serve you, they didn't take care of you. ”

"The queen mother is angry! Recently, the weather has been hot, and my son's appetite is average, so he feels refreshed after losing a little weight. ”

Queen Tao glared at her and said angrily: "You still have to pay attention to your body, and you can't be careless." ”

"The son listens to his mother."

Compared with talking about business, Queen Tao obviously cares more about the situation in her youngest son's backyard.

"Your daughter-in-law hasn't been making a fuss lately, has she?"

Xiao Chengyi shook his head, "When she was about to give birth, her emotions stabilized and she took people to prepare." Just the children's clothes, she personally supervised the maid and made a box. ”

Queen Tao said with a smile: "She can understand, and it is not in vain that the palace cares about her." If this child gets a man in one fell swoop, this palace will not be stingy with rewards. ”

Xiao Chengyi thanked his wife Zhong Shuyun, "Thank you Queen Mother!" When she gave birth to a child and finished her confinement, her son took her into the palace to kowtow and thank her. ”

"More on that later. If there is a great drought today, and your father is anxious, what do you think? ”

"My son is willing to go to the disaster area for disaster relief."

Xiao Chengyi made a loud noise.

Queen Tao's eyebrows twitched, and she was not in a good mood.

She had a serious face, "A gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, do you understand?" ”

Xiao Chengyi said: "It is the duty of a son to share the worries of his father. There was a great drought in the world, but none of the courtiers reported the matter, and the son couldn't trust them, and even the father couldn't trust those courtiers. ”

Empress Tao snorted coldly, "Your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, it is not appropriate for you to go out for disaster relief at this time." ”

She outright denied her youngest son's idea.

Xiao Chengyi was a little depressed, but he still insisted on his idea, "The book rhyme will be produced soon." When she gives birth, I will go out of Beijing for disaster relief. I believe that my father will agree. ”

"Ridiculous! Have you ever been to a disaster area? Do you know what the disaster area looks like? Do you know how many dangers await you on the road to disaster relief? Not only officialdom, but also various epidemics. In case, if you are infected with an epidemic, do you want to make Hongu cry to death? ”

As she spoke, Queen Tao took out a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears.

Xiao Chengyi was a little stunned, and quickly reacted again, "The queen mother is angry!" If the son goes out of Beijing, he will be fully prepared, and he will bring medicinal herbs and imperial doctors, but if there is a headache and brain fever, the son will never be strong. ”

Empress Tao said angrily: "After all, you just want to leave Beijing, right?" You have so many brothers, so many princes, and none of them took the initiative to stand up and say that they would go out of Beijing for disaster relief. Why are you just ......?"

"The queen mother, if she gets it, she must give it first. Delusional to sit back and enjoy the success, my son may not have such good luck. ”

Xiao Chengyi said this very solemnly.

Empress Tao was stunned, and finally sighed, "You have grown up and are sensible!" It's just that it's too dangerous, you can stay in the capital, and you can also share your father's worries. ”

"Staying in the capital, how can you personally go out to Beijing for disaster relief to get a lot of credit? What the son lacks now is a great achievement. The son doesn't want to rely on others forever, and the son wants to earn this credit himself. Please make it perfect. ”

Having said that, Queen Tao couldn't insist on opposing it anymore.

She sighed again and again, "That's it, that's it! This palace can't resist you. ”
