243:

After a pause, the emperor continued: "So, don't think about it. It's better to discuss with me or the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky in a few days, in previous years, all the princes participated in the discussion, today I will make an exception for you to also talk about your opinion, after all, one more person is more power. ”

"I hope this festival is different from previous years, after all, we have a big drought in Beizhao for several days, if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid that the people will suffer, although I didn't go to the private secret visit, but the excerpts reported in the past few days have said that the people have complained, if it doesn't rain, I'm afraid that there will be changes!" The emperor sighed and said.

Oh, yes! These days, there has been a drought for many years, and the people are complaining.

Although he didn't leave the palace, he could also imagine the scene outside the palace, in fact, it was okay like them in Luoyang City, but like Xiangxia, the people in those remote areas lived on crops, wouldn't it kill them if there was no rain?

Although it is not up to anyone to decide whether it rains or not, it is up to God to decide, but what he should do must be done, otherwise it will definitely cause public anger, after all, he, the emperor, cannot sit idly by, even if he pretends to come out.

I just hope that God can really have mercy and will bring some nectar, otherwise, he really doesn't know what to do.

Pei Xuanwei bowed and clenched his fists: "In fact, Weichen thinks that instead of doing an unrealistic cause of sacrificing to the sky, it is better to use the silver to distribute to the people to be more practical, Weichen is a big old man and doesn't know what etiquette, Weichen only knows that since it is silver, it should be used to do practical things, and it should not be used to get those useless things." ”

After a pause, Pei Xuanwei hurriedly left a way back for himself, and didn't say it too much: "Of course, this is just Weichen's idea, if Weichen has something inexhaustible, please ask Your Majesty to forgive your sin, after all, Weichen knows that the Heaven Sacrifice Conference is a rule handed down by the first emperor, even if it is Your Majesty, you can't abolish it." ”

With a sigh of relief, Pei Xuanwei continued: "It's just that Your Majesty thinks that instead of doing these meaningless things, it is much more useful for Your Majesty to take a trip to listen to the voices of the people, after all, a country is supported by the people, and if there are no people like these people, it makes no sense for us as courtiers." ”

Pei Xuanwei is indeed a big boss, he is indeed not a good person, after all, he has killed so many people, but he is indeed for the people, because the country is his hard work, he doesn't want to be ruined by anything, those people are like his own children to him, who wants to see their children hurt?

The emperor nodded: "Actually, what you said is right, this is indeed unrealistic, but it is always an explanation for the people, isn't it?" Isn't what the people expect is for those of us who are officials to give them an explanation? Don't you just want to get our attention? ”

After a pause, there was an indescribable trace of sadness in the emperor's tone: "There is a big drought in Jiangnan, what can't we do?" Because we are not God, we can't let this rain just say it, but we can give the people some comfort, of course, the disaster still has to be earned, and the silver still has to be given. ”

"It's just that I know that there will inevitably be corrupt officials when there are disaster victims, and I don't want the money I use to save the people to become money in the pockets of those corrupt officials, but I don't know who I should trust, and I don't know who should release the disaster relief money?" The emperor sighed and said.

In fact, it is not easy to be the emperor, there are some things he can't say in person, but he can't think of anyone to trust.

They only know how good it is to be an emperor, but who knows the hard work of being an emperor, and if you are not careful, you will be scolded by everyone. He doesn't want to be the porridge that is covered in water, he hopes that he can be carried for a long time, so he strives to be a good emperor and a Ming monarch who loves the people like a son.

But there are some things that really don't happen if he doesn't want to, such as these natural disasters such as those man-made disasters, if he can, he really wants to exchange his life for the health of those people, because it is his dereliction of duty as an emperor to have a common people suffer.

Therefore, he can't help but blame himself for not being a good emperor, but he hopes that those who want to rebel can pay attention, because the emperor can't be the emperor if he wants to.

Pei Xuanwei asked cautiously: "Although Your Majesty said this, in fact, there is already a suitable candidate in your heart, in today's court, in addition to the fourth prince of Nangong Hanmo and the second prince of Nangong Wenyan, who else can get the emperor's trust?" ”

"And if this disaster relief money is released by the two princes, then it will not only be able to help the people, but also show that His Majesty attaches great importance to the people, so that the people will no longer have any complaints." Pei Xuanwei said.

He's still a fair person. Although Nangong Hanmo embarrassed him.

However, for the sake of the people, he is still willing to recommend Nangong Hanmo to be the messenger of this disaster relief, because she knows that Nangong has not yet gained a good character, and he will definitely be able to do this well.

The emperor nodded: "Of course I know that the character of the second prince and the fourth prince is enough to take on this key point, but Nangong Yu is the crown prince, if the prince is not involved in this matter, I am afraid that someone will gossip again." ”

After a pause, the emperor didn't intend to hide it from Pei Xuanwei: "So the prince still has to be involved in this matter, as for how far he can go, then it depends on him, I can only help him get there, but although the prince is stupid, his qualifications are still good." ”

"And his heart is still kind, I hope that if he can board the plane smoothly in the future, I hope that he can be supported by Master Pei a lot, so that he can be a good Mingjun, otherwise I am really worried that he will be used by traitors." The emperor sighed and said.

Yes, although the prince was chosen by him, his worries are not unfounded, the prince is good in his heart, he is easy to be used by bad people, and he has no scheming, and his thoughts are too simple.

And he has no ambitions, it is difficult for him to imagine that such a person can be a good emperor, but after all, he has already been appointed as the prince, if he is abolished, it will inevitably cause another chaos, after all, he also transitioned from this period.

So he knew that the crown prince must not be wasted, otherwise it would definitely cause a sensation, and it would definitely cause a scramble.
