Zhong Xiaoshu hurriedly summoned Nianwu, changed herself into a formal dress with a saint, and then asked her to prepare the carriage immediately, she was going to enter the palace.

"Madam, look at the hour, the master is coming back soon, why don't you wait for the master to come back and then discuss." Nian Wu persuaded all.

"No, when Zhige comes back, the palace gate will be about to close, and it will be too late then. I have to go into the palace today to explain everything. Zhong Xiaoshu's attitude is very resolute, because if he misses today, it will be even more difficult to make the emperor change his mind.

Seeing this, Nianwu didn't want to say anything more, so she dressed Zhong Xiaoshu up neatly with her hands and feet, and sent her into the palace in a carriage.

Although Zhong Xiaoshu is a woman, she can't meet the saint very smoothly, but she is the wife of the general of the dynasty, and she is ordained, especially the wife of Yin Zhige, who is now the hottest minister, and the emperor is kind to him.

After Zhong Xiaoshu handed over the name post, the emperor took a look, and still nodded and asked people to invite her in, which was very thin for Yin Zhige.

"You said you had something urgent to talk to me about, why did you say that?" The emperor sat high under the golden dragon, full of majesty.

Zhong Xiaoshu cheered up the spirit, knelt down and bowed his head, "The courtiers rushed into the palace today, and there is indeed something that must be told to the emperor. ”

"In the case of Cangzhou's disaster relief grain, the idea of replacing rice noodles with sweet potatoes and fine bran was not come up by the second prince himself, but suggested by the courtiers for the second prince."

The emperor's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a pair of eyes stared straight at Zhong Xiaoshu, but he was not in a hurry to ask, but exuded a strong sense of oppression, which made the hall suddenly fall into a very depressing environment.

Zhong Xiaoshu paused slightly, took a deep breath, and continued, "Your Majesty, there is a reason for the courtier's move. The Cangzhou earthquake caused too much damage and a large number of people were affected. Even if the court has the heart to support the relief, it is really powerless, and if the disaster relief grain still requires high-quality white-flour polished rice, the people who can be saved will not be able to achieve the effect of earthquake relief. At that time, the famine will cause the situation to worsen, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

"Therefore, the most important thing is not to ask for disaster relief food, but to save the lives of more people first. Although sweet potatoes and fine bran are not as good as rice and noodles, they can fill their stomachs no matter what, and surviving alive is the most desirable thing for the people. Only then did the courtiers dare to suggest that the second prince should focus on the overall situation and consider the people first, rather than paying attention to unnecessary details. ”

Zhong Xiaoshu raised his head, raised his hands above his head and bowed, "Jiangshan Sheji, all the people are the most important, and I also ask the emperor to forgive the second prince and restore his position, so as to lenien the hearts of the people in the world!" ”

"Nonsense!"

This time, the emperor did not treat him silently and coldly, but directly scolded Zhong Xiaoshu in a cold voice, "If it is really as you said, the people are satisfied, how can there be violence. Chaos event! ”

After all, the emperor has been in power for decades, and he can see the problem the most.

The key to this incident is indeed the violence. Above the cause of chaos!

Zhong Xiaoshu had already guessed in his heart that someone was deliberately inciting public sentiment, which caused such a big violence. The chaos came, but in the face of the emperor, it was impossible to say it so stupidly, it was obviously treating the emperor as a fool.

After pondering for a while, she raised her hand again and asked, "If the emperor doesn't believe what the courtiers say, you can go to the disaster area to take a look in person, feel the life of the poor people, and see if the people care about whether they are well fed or if they care about whether they eat well after the disaster, and everything will be revealed." ”

This is indeed the most direct and effective method, and it is better to experience it directly than to hear more than to hear it.

But the emperor is the son of heaven of a country, how can he just leave?

The emperor sat on the high dragon chair and sneered, staring at Zhong Xiaoshu with a pair of eyes, and did not express his opinion.

After a while, Zhong Xiaoshu was thinking about whether to say anything more, but he heard the emperor's own majestic voice sound.

"Yin Zhong, you rushed into the palace and talked nonsense in front of me, you should have been punished heavily, but thinking of Yin Zhige's great military exploits, I won't punish you this time."

Zhong Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that this is not the point, the topic of the emperor is too blunt.

Just as he was about to pull the theme again, he saw the emperor himself and said, "As for the restoration of the second prince's position as you said, it is absolutely impossible!" Not to mention that he did not do things well, whether he listened to your opinion or not, whether his opinion was correct or not, he should be punished for causing such a disaster! ”

"Your Majesty—"

"Needless to say! I Chrysostom issued a holy decree, how can it be child's play, how can I change the order every day! The emperor waved his palm, "Stand down, I have already talked enough to you today." ”

Then, the emperor strode off the dragon chair, flicked his sleeves and walked inside, no longer giving Zhong Xiaoshu a chance at all.

Zhong Xiaoshu was disappointed and a little scared at the same time.

From the time she crossed over to the present, she has managed everything properly, but she forgot that the Son of Heaven of a country holds the power of life and death for everyone in the world, how can he easily collide?

She impulsively entered the palace this time, and she was really a little dizzy.

She almost forgot what was written in the history books and the majesty of the Son of Heaven on TV.

Back at home, Yin Zhige had already come back and knew the situation, and Ben still complained a little about Zhong Xiaoshu acting impulsively.

But as soon as Zhong Xiaoshu saw him, he leaned on his shoulder with a lonely expression, and muttered in a low voice, "Zhige, I hurt the second prince." ”

Where could Yin Zhige still say a word of blame, patted her gently, and comforted, "Xiao Shu, I don't blame you for this matter, don't think about it." The emperor is in a very bad mood today, and you won't be able to please the palace at this time. ”

As soon as Zhong Xiaoshu thought of the emperor's decisive and majestic words, he felt even more powerless in his heart, as if he hadn't done anything well, and suddenly he was in no mood, and he didn't even want to eat dinner, so he just took two bites and lay on the bed.

Yin Zhige also knew that she was only afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't force her much, patiently comforted her for a while, and fell asleep with her, then got up and went to the study to deal with things again.

Not long after Yin Zhige left, Zhong Xiaoshu woke up by himself again, and he couldn't be stable after tossing and turning, but he felt that his heart was in a mess, and nothing went well.

But he also knew that Yin Zhige was afraid that he was also in a busy season and couldn't accompany himself to rest assured, so he had to take care of himself with a long sigh, pull the quilt over his head, and force himself to sleep.
