Chapter 128: Huailing Flood
After speaking, he looked at the other party lightly, waiting for her to make a choice.
Zhu'er has been by her side since she came to this other world, and she also has a certain affection for her, and now she gives her the choice, no matter how the other party chooses, she will respect it.
Zhu'er gritted her teeth and didn't hesitate for long before speaking, "Zhu'er is a mother's person!" It was in the past, it is now, and it will be even more in the future, so as long as the mother is still willing, Zhu'er will stay by your side and serve you for the rest of her life. ”
The other party said with a sincere face, Tao Mingxi was unconsciously moved in his heart when he heard it, and the expression on his face softened a little, "Well, since you want to follow this palace, then go and get ready first, and we will leave in three days." ”
……
Imperial Palace, Early Dynasty.
The courtiers stood neatly on the main hall, bowed their heads, and went out in an orderly manner to report on the affairs that happened in various places.
"Your Majesty, after the third prince came back from Huailing County, it seems that he has never mentioned the matter of controlling the flood, shouldn't he report it in front of the courtiers now?" Suddenly, a minister walked out and said to the emperor in the hall in a respectful tone.
Almost instantly, the faces of the three princes who heard this became ugly, and the surrounding ministers naturally agreed with this matter and echoed it.
The emperor's face changed slightly, lying down so many courtiers have requested, if he still speaks partiality at this time, it will definitely have a bad impact, so he can only say in a deep voice, "That is the case, Zhe'er, you will come out and talk to them." ”
“…… Be. The corners of Xing Yizhe's forehead had begun to permeate sweat, and the whole person looked a little panicked, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and said: "This time the flood control is very successful, and the victims of Huailing County have also been resettled." ”
Xing Yizhe said with a serious face, and many people around him almost believed it when they heard it, and the minister spoke again, with disdain on his face, "Really? But how did the old minister hear that the plan for controlling the flood that the third prince came up with not only did not work, but flooded the local granary, and now the entire Huailing County is still in chaos! ”
"Nonsense!" Xing Yizhe's face became even more difficult to look at, but he still had to pretend to be calm on his face, and said: "The flood in Huailing County has already been dealt with by this prince, how can there be those things you said, there must be someone who wants to slander this prince!" ”
"But according to the old minister sent someone to investigate, the situation is indeed the case, now Huailing County is flooded, floods have flooded houses and granaries, leaving them homeless, and they have no food and clothing, it is estimated that in less than a month, those victims will gather in the capital!"
The man said with a straight face, and after finishing speaking, he added: "It doesn't matter if these three princes refuse to admit it, the old minister has already asked people to invite the county order of Huailing County, and you can confront him on the spot." ”
The sweat on Xing Yizhe's body had already soaked his back, and the panic on his face was even worse when he heard it, and he couldn't say a word for a while.
Seeing this, the minister took advantage of the situation to pursue the victory: "Is the third prince acquiescing now?" In order to not be questioned about his ability, to make up that kind of lie, His Royal Highness the Prince's behavior is too ridiculous! ”
"yes." As soon as these words came out, many ministers around him also began to echo them: "If the victims of the disaster flee to the capital by then, there will inevitably be chaos in the capital, and it will not be as easy to collect as it is now." ”
Xing Yizhe's face turned pale when he was accused, and now that the evidence is conclusive, if he really called the county commander to confront him, the consequences would only be worse, so he could only admit it.
The emperor became ugly when he listened to those pictures, in fact, he always knew the inside story of the matter, and he had also accused Xing Yizhe before, but at this critical moment, he still had to protect his reputation first, so he would agree to hide it.
But he never thought that the matter would be revealed by those ministers, and in order to save face, he could not openly show favoritism, so he had to ask with a gloomy face: "Is this serious?" ”
Xing Yizhe walked to the center of the hall and knelt down, and said tremblingly: "Father is angry, and his sons could have managed the Huailing flood, but the flood momentum there is too fierce, and something has happened...... That's why it's what it looks like now. ”
"Even if the governance is not good, why did the three princes hide this matter? Do you have to let things get out of hand to be satisfied? A minister next to him said dissatisfiedly, and at this time he completely ignored the respect.
This stupid way of punishing Yizhe will bring disaster to them later! The capital is flooded with victims, and their courtiers will also be anxious because of this matter, and their situation is not much better.
"This ......" Xing Yizhe turned his head and glared at the other party, wanting to argue, but thinking that the emperor was still watching in front of him, he didn't pay attention to him, just pretended to be very kind, and said: "The son is just afraid that he will disappoint his father, so he can't hide this matter, and it is definitely not intentional." ”
"Confused!" Xing Yizhe said that the sincere appearance, the emperor above also took the opportunity to drink him to express his reprimand.
He originally wanted to scold Xing Yizhe above the court and expose the matter, and then find a capable person to deal with the flood in Huailing County, then these ministers will naturally have nothing to say.
But at this time, most of the ministers in the court felt indignant, how could they easily let him go, and said sharply, "Now that things have developed to this point, what else is there to say?" Third prince, do you have a solution? ”
"This prince ......" Xing Yizhe opened his mouth to answer, but he didn't say anything for a while, he really didn't know anything about the method of controlling the flood, he thought it would be easy, but when he went, he found that the difficulty was comparable to ascending to the sky!
"No more so?" The ministers looked at him and sneered and asked.
Xing Yizhe didn't speak, but he didn't deny it, because this is indeed the truth......
"The floods in Huailing County are serious, and if you need to deal with them, you need to think carefully and come up with a careful and perfect plan to save those victims from the dire situation." Xing Yizhe thought for a while before he spoke, blaming the reasons for the failure to control the flood on those floods.
It's like "you can't blame me for not governing well, it's really too difficult to govern", and I owe it when I look at it.
The emperor nodded slowly, "Since the flood in Huailing County is so difficult to deal with, and the third prince is not deeply involved in the world, it is normal for him to make mistakes this time." ”
