Early this morning, a major incident occurred in the court, which made the prince of the prison country vomit a mouthful of blood on the spot!

Some time ago, there was a heavy snowfall in the north, people's houses collapsed, countless people were frozen and starved, and displaced people were everywhere.

The emperor ordered the household department to allocate grain for disaster relief, and in those two days, the court and China quarreled over the candidates for sending the disaster relief grain, which caused the officials to blush and have thick necks.

Everyone knows that this is a fat difference, and they know that the New Year is coming soon, and they want to get a handful out of it.

In order to stabilize his crown prince's prestige and position in the court, the emperor handed over the matter to the prince to deal with, and by the way, asked the prince to temporarily take care of state affairs, and the emperor, who was infected with the wind and cold, temporarily retreated behind the scenes to recuperate.

The prince discussed with the ministers all night about the candidates for the disaster relief food, and finally chose two people, one is Wang Shangshu, and the other is General Xu, a rising star valued by the emperor and ready to take over the position of General Tian.

The two of them were one writer and one martial arts, so they escorted the team to send disaster relief food to the north, but the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and within a few days of walking on the road, Wang Shangshu contracted a cold and a high fever did not go away, and General Xu had no choice but to send Wang Shangshu back to the capital.

The imperial court got the news, and the prince who was in charge of the country immediately changed his cronies, and the young master of the prince, Zhao Yi, took over the position of Wang Shangshu, and went with General Xu to resettle the victims and allocate grain for disaster relief.

Many ministers in the court were dissatisfied with the prince's opportunity to install his cronies, but with the support of the emperor behind him, the people in the court were indignant, but no one touched the prince's brow.

General Xu and Zhao Yi led a mighty team all the way to the north, and the more they went, the worse the weather became, and when they arrived in the northern blizzard zone, the people had long been ragged and gathered in the city, and the government was closed every day, and the streets were full of looting and trouble.

People's faces are all gray, and the frozen corpses on the side of the road have no one to clean up, in this cold weather, they are so stiff on the side of the road, and the corpses are in the wilderness.

General Xu and Zhao Yi handed over the food and other materials for disaster relief to the local government, pretended to stay here for a few days, appeased the people for a few days, and then returned to the capital with the team......

"Young master, don't look at it, it's too cold this winter, this is providence, there is no way."

Outside the northern city, the three of them rode horses, standing on the road and looking at the stiff corpses not far away, with unbearable expressions on their faces.

The young master frowned, looking at the corpses, big and small...... His eyes were slightly red, and he said with a hint of anger: "Didn't the imperial court allocate food for disaster relief a few days ago?" Why is there no one to dispose of the corpses on the road? ”

A man dressed in black in the back, with a long beard, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "The food money for disaster relief from the imperial court is not fake, and it is also true that people are here, but how many people can be in the hands of the people, I don't know!" Young master, forget it, the government is incompetent and inactive, we can't take care of this matter, let's hurry up! ”

"Don't worry, let's stay for a day, and then leave tomorrow, advanced to the city!"

Hu Sai looked at the stubborn appearance of his young master, and knew that he was afraid that he would not be able to leave tomorrow...... He turned his head to look at the white boy behind him and said, "Boy, how much silver do we have on us?" ”

Bai Tongzi smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "There is not much, the young master has been helping others along the way, whether the silver in our pockets is enough to go back to the capital or two, this young master still has to go into the city, it is estimated that he will have to take the silver out to help people......" He said, whispering close to Hu Sai's ear and said: "Fortunately, I still have a jade pendant on my body, I really can't do it, so I went to be an emergency, otherwise, I really can't hold the capital!" ”

Hearing this, Hu Sai raised his eyebrows and gave him a thumbs up, saying, "Good boy! That's it!"

The three rode into the city, and most of the shops in the city were closed, afraid to open them, for fear that the hungry and poor homeless people would come and steal their goods and food.

Finally, the three of them found an inn, but the boss didn't dare to open the door wide, so he closed the door when he told them to come in, and said: "Three guest officers, there is nothing to eat in this city at the moment, only porridge and pickles, if you really want to eat some meat, there is an old hen in the old man's backyard, you see ......"

"The boss doesn't have to be busy, just vegetarian, we don't pick it." Bai Jingxuan spoke modestly and politely, watching the boss hurriedly close the door, thinking of the corpse outside the city. Then he asked: "Shopkeeper, a few days ago, didn't the imperial court come to provide disaster relief?" Why are there still so many people on the streets, displaced and homeless? Is there no one to resettle the victims? ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately shook his head and waved his hand: "Don't mention it, what if you come, the food money for disaster relief has gone into the hands of the government, and every day, those homeless people who have no money, no food and no place to live can only receive a bowl of gruel in the morning and evening, and they don't even have a full stomach of steamed buns...... Poor, when this natural disaster comes, the people are not happy! ”

"There is only one bowl of gruel in the morning and evening, how can you eat enough?" Hu Sai looked at the young master's expression was wrong, pulled Bai Jingxuan upstairs, closed the door and said: "Young master, according to the letter from the master, this time the people responsible for transporting the disaster relief food are all the prince's people, you see, can you take advantage of this matter......

Bai Jingxuan stood by the window when he heard this, looking at the people squatting together at the base of the wall to keep warm in the snow, and said in a hoarse voice: "Prince...... If people of such character really sit on that throne, then these ordinary people really have no way to live! ”

Hu Sai and Bai Tongzi glanced at each other when they heard this, and then Bai Tongzi stepped forward and said, "Young Master, what do you want to do, just give me the order!" ”

Bai Jingxuan turned his head when he heard this, and there was an indifferent smile on his face, and he said: "It is said that the crown prince has been in charge of the country quite smoothly recently, and he has won the sacred heart, I don't know if the matter in Beicheng is stabbed by someone this time, how will the emperor deal with it?" ”

Hu Sai looked at him when he heard this, and said, "I can't guess what the emperor will do with this slave, but it is certain that the prince will definitely steal chickens and rice!" ”

Bai Jingxuan smiled when he heard this, remembered something, and then said: "But in this way, it is cheaper for someone......

Hu Sai knew who he was talking about, so he smiled when he heard the words, and said: "When I return to the capital, I will definitely thank the young master, and when the young master opens his mouth, although the young master has opened his mouth, I am afraid that the calligraphy and painting you wanted in the early years will be able to get it!" ”

"Not really, but I heard that he still has a hand-carved green jade chessboard from Master Quanhui in his hand, which is not bad......"

Bai Jingxuan said, looked at Hu Sai and said: "It's about to be the New Year, the prince wants to have a good year, take the affairs of the north and invite the emperor again, I want him to do nothing, Hu Sai, go out to inquire about the news, count the range of people affected, boy, take your drawing paper, go and draw down the miserable chaos here one by one, let those displaced people press their handprints, two days later, let's go back to Beijing quickly!" Remember, don't be found out by the people in the government, lest the prince startle the snake! ”

"Yes!" Hu Sai and the White Boy went out.

Bai Jingxuan stayed in the room and asked the shopkeeper to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write letters to Jingzhong's father and that one of his best friends.

On the twenty-second day of the lunar month, the prince was in a good mood in the morning, the princess was a few months pregnant, and he was a son, and he was very satisfied.

The disaster relief in the north also ended perfectly, and his father was very satisfied, he wore the prince's court clothes, and went to the court proudly with a spring breeze.

Today, my father's body is a little brighter, and he went to the court, and there are many major events near the New Year, and my father still needs to make a decision.

The officials of the court have already arrived, but what is strange is that Lord Taifu, who has not come to the court for a long time, actually came, and the officials close to him all stepped forward to greet him.

After a short time, the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe came, and the officials knelt down and shouted long live.

When the prince saw that the Taifu was coming to the court today, he went to greet him, "Is the Taifu better?" ”

The Taifu glanced at him without being salty when he heard the words, and then replied: "The minister has something important, and he wants to enlighten the emperor, His Royal Highness the Prince, please do it!" ”

The prince wanted to ask him what he was going to say, but when he heard him say this, he smiled stupidly and returned to his seat, but his heart was full of hesitation when he saw the prince's not very good face.

Lord Taifu has long ignored the government on weekdays, and occasionally his father has something important and will summon him to the palace to discuss, but now he takes the initiative to come to the court, how can he feel that something is wrong......

Sure enough, when the emperor asked who had something important to report, Lord Taifu stood up and took out a map of the disaster area in the north on the spot, and carefully marked the approximate number of people on it, whether the disaster relief food was in place, and whether the people got the due arrangements.

What's more, there are more than a dozen portraits of the miserable appearance of the people in the Northland, the cold corpses on the roadside, and the pictures of the common people holding accidental gruel and crying, vivid...... The handprints on it are densely packed, making people's eyes dazzled......

The terrible thing is that Taifu actually took out the account book of the disaster relief food money that was swallowed up, and the number of people on it corresponded to the silver, and the list was extremely detailed......

The prince trembled on the spot, and his face turned pale.

The emperor frowned fiercely, looked at the angry eyes of the prince, turned his head to see the prince's weak heart, became angry on the spot, and kicked the prince down the steps. looked at the son he had entrusted with the important task, rolled down the steps, and roared bitterly: "You are too disappointing to me!" And he brushed his sleeves away.

Taifu looked at the emperor's back, frowned tightly, and didn't say how to deal with the prince, nor how to deal with these corrupt officials, is this going to make a big deal small?

Duan Wang Ye quietly watched this scene, a sneer curled up at the corner of his lips, and turned to leave.

Taifu's youngest son is really a genius, in this way, the prince's prestige in the court is lost, and a prince who can't support the wall in the mud, what else is there to look forward to for these officials?

However, in case the emperor is annoyed and angry, he still has to be careful what he does in secret, he is used to those shady tricks......

The prince rolled down the steps in embarrassment, looking at the back of the emperor brushing his sleeves away, and the indifferent eyes of the prince, he was angry on the spot, and spit out a mouthful of blood!
