The Emperor only now found out that Zhongli seemed to have a real problem.

The skin on the cheeks is too good, white and red, and there is no Adam's apple on the neck.

Zhongli bit his lip, lowered his eyes, and whispered to the emperor.

"When Wechen was a child herding cattle and sheep in the mountains, he accidentally rolled down the hillside and injured the place where he shouldn't have been injured. Therefore, in this life, Weichen can probably only live with money! ”

People always have to have a little desire.

Some people like to be officials, and some people like to get rich.

When Zhongli told the emperor about this, he was also showing the emperor his physical defects, and telling the other party that the only thing in his life was to make more money.

In order to show that what he said was true, Zhongli continued to make up the story.

"No one said anything about Weichen, but when he came out of the mountains to do small work for others, he was discovered, and then they insulted me and didn't say anything, and beat me and scolded me. The reason why Wechen is so anxious to do a big career is to fight for himself! ”

Zhongli had resentment on his face, his eyes widened, his nose closed, his fingers clenched tightly, and his body knelt on the ground tightly.

The emperor was also shocked by what Zhongli said to himself!

Man, if there is no such thing......

He subconsciously looked at Zhongli's lower abdomen, and then couldn't help but put his fist to his lips and coughed dryly, shaking his head at Zhongli.

"Haha, haha, it doesn't matter. I promise you that I will not tell anyone about this. But how about having a doctor show you? ”

After all, it was his minister, and the emperor still didn't want to chill the minister's heart.

Zhongli was startled again, gritted his teeth and shook his head at the emperor, hurriedly refusing.

"Your Majesty, forget it. There is no impermeable wall in this world, if others know about this matter, Weichen simply has no face to live in the world, please think twice. ”

The emperor originally said that, but when he heard Zhongli say this, he couldn't help but nod lightly.

"Okay, okay, I don't say it, I don't say it."

The emperor asked Zhongli to get up, and then asked Zhongli to tell him about the recent progress of the household business before letting Zhongli go home.

After Zhongli went back, he replied to Zhao Yiyan without saying a word, and asked Zhao Yiyan to start preparing manpower and snatch the grain and grass that Tianqi gave to Yuanwu.

In her opinion, the Emperor of the Apocalypse is simply crazy, sending these things to Yuanwu, which is to raise tigers for trouble, and use his own silver to raise soldiers and horses for the Yuanwu soldiers, and then come to attack them again.

Therefore, this grain must never enter Yuanwu safely.

And now in Yuanwu, the situation is becoming more and more turbulent.

Large-scale riots have begun to appear in the western part of Yuanwu, and the people of the Seventh Emperor Wan Qiming have begun to preach there that it is the fault of the current emperor, that he is plotting to usurp the throne, and that it is his father's unfilial piety that causes the heavens to come down and punish him.

By the time this kind of thing reached the ears of Emperor Yuanwu, most of the displaced people had already entered the capital.

At the morning meeting.

Zhongli stood up and asked the emperor to order the opening of the warehouse to release grain and relieve the people.

"No, no, now the treasury is empty, there is not much food at all, if you put food now, then what if there is anything after that? Lord Zhong, you are drinking to quench your thirst. ”

Zhongli arched his hand towards the emperor in a serious manner.

"Your Majesty, in the opinion of Wei Chen, the food promised by the Apocalypse is already on the way, and it will be delivered to Yuanwu in time, and now that the people outside are being encouraged, and there are a large number of displaced people gathered in the capital, Wei Chen is worried that if there is a case, it will not be good!"

The emperor still didn't agree, and Zhongli had no choice but to tell the things circulating on the street, the emperor plotting to usurp the throne, and killing his father and being unfilial.

The entire court hall was silent.

No one knew that Zhongli was so bold that he dared to say this in front of the emperor.

The Emperor reached out and slapped the dragon chair fiercely, glaring at Zhongli as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Zhong Er, do you know what you're talking about? Do you know who you're talking to? ”

Zhongli shook his head at the Emperor.

"The emperor is clear, Weichen just has one thing to say, and two to say two. And these words are now spread everywhere in the entire Yuanwu, Weichen doesn't believe that the ministers haven't heard it, but they are silent when they hear it, what does this mean? ”

The emperor was also stunned by Zhongli's question.

If it was really like what Zhongli said, it had already spread all over the street, how could they not know? But if you don't say it, are you waiting for the world to be chaotic and you will be ousted from power?

The emperor suddenly had a conspiracy theory.

In particular, he was a thief with a weak heart, and his father was killed by himself, and he only got into the position, who doesn't know about this?

It's just that everyone is careful and doesn't say anything.

So the emperor narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at these civil and military ministers in front of him.

"Is what Zhong Yi just said true? Actually, you all know about this, but you didn't tell me, you want me to lose this world in a daze, right? ”

So, the hulala ministers knelt directly on the ground.

Zhongli took advantage of this opportunity to continue speaking.

"Therefore, in the opinion of the emperor, you should immediately open a warehouse and release grain, and then find out the real culprit who caused the drought in the northwest, and exchange justice for you. Otherwise, one day, the entire Yuanwu will be in chaos. Since last year, the Apocalypse has been eyeing our Yuanwu, in case there is a mess here, and then the Apocalypse takes advantage of the void, our Yuanwu is in danger. Please ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”

It's not that no one else has stood up to contradict Zhongli, it's just that the emperor has been quite close to Zhongli recently, and he thinks that Zhongli has nothing to say to him, and even his most embarrassing things can tell him, so he naturally believes in Zhongli a little more.

So, the emperor directly ordered to open a warehouse and release grain.

Wan Qiming outside was advocating to oust the emperor from power, this was a faint monarch, but he didn't expect the news that the emperor opened a warehouse to release grain, and he heard that it was Zhongli who suggested that the emperor should immediately open a warehouse and release grain, so he hurried home without saying a word and questioned Zhongli.

Zhongli sat in the chair next to him very leisurely, squinting and smiling at him.

"Seventh Prince, don't be so anxious, and don't be nervous. You've been waiting for this day for so many days, even if you're nervous, you can't be nervous. So you should think about how you can wait until things make a big deal and appease the people, and it is better to get to that position. ”

Wan Qiming walked around the room a few times a little impatiently, glaring at Zhongli angrily, clenching his teeth.

"Ascend to that seat, ascend to that seat, you speak better than you sing. But what? How am I going to get to that seat? Do you know that I finally prepared everything outside, but your words made me fall short. ”

It's impossible not to be angry, but he also knows that Zhongli is not like a few of his staff members said, fooling him into wanting a bigger position.

Because only he knows that Zhongli is a woman.

A woman in the open!

Therefore, even if he is smart, he can't set off any big waves at all.

His imperial brother doesn't know Zhongli's gender now, and if he does, the first thing he must do is to drive Zhongli out of the court.

Zhongli squinted at Wan Qiming and shook his head gently.

"You don't want to think about it, I'm helping you right now. Didn't I tell you that there really isn't much money in the treasury, and in terms of grain, there is not much grain in Yuanwu every year. So if the emperor opens a warehouse and releases grain now, do you know the outcome in the future? ”

When Wan Qian heard this, he sat directly beside Zhongli and looked at him with a tight frown.

"So, you want to use this method to force the other side to step down? But Zhongli, and then? Even after I boarded the plane, what I got was just a mess, don't tell me I didn't think of it, because I don't believe it. ”

Zhongli shrugged at Wan Qiming and spread his hands.

"Are you stupid? Since I have a way to keep him without food, I also have a way to get you food. We're in a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship, aren't we? ”

Cooperate? What is the cooperation law?

When Wan Qiming heard the word cooperation now, he just wanted to smile bitterly.

Zhongli followed him to Yuanwu before, saying that he was just going to find his big butler, but now the butler found it, but he stayed here, saying that he wanted to help him take the throne.

However, he didn't even know what he wanted.

"Zhongli, can you tell me what exactly you're doing? What do you want to do? When I see you now, I can only feel scared. ”

yes, now that I think about it, can he not be afraid?

What an unapproachable person his own imperial brother is, but now he trusts him so much.

Moreover, from a penniless merchant to the current household secretary of the entire Yuanwu, and even confronted the entire court with the strength of one person, persuading the emperor to open a warehouse and release grain to help the people, how can such a person not be afraid?

Zhongli turned around, looked at Wan Qiming solemnly, and shook his head gently at Wan Qianming with some helplessness.

"I didn't think you would ask. Since you asked, I might as well tell you. I'm going to come to Yuanwu to find evidence that they framed Shen Ye back then. Just because you don't know doesn't mean others don't know. Only by sending you to that position can I blatantly investigate and collect evidence. I want to overturn the case for Shen Ye. ”

Looking at the seriousness on Zhongli's face, Wan Qiming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he nodded towards Zhongli.

"Well, if there is a day when I ascend the throne, I will help you find the answer."

Zhongli watched Wan Qiming leave and closed his eyes again.

Soon, soon!

Emperor Yuanwu opened a warehouse to release grain and relieve the victims of the disaster became a beautiful talk on the streets.

Even everyone is talking about how difficult it is for the emperor to ascend the throne as an emperor, the treasury has no money, but everyone has to eat food.

The emperor is a good emperor.

Zhongli couldn't help but smile as he looked at the storytellers in the teahouse and restaurant.

It seems that everyone is not stupid!

It's just that there's not much food now! How can it be appropriate?

Zhongli smiled, but that smile didn't reach her eyes, she went back and wrote an excerpt and handed it to the emperor, saying that the people below were grateful for the emperor's grace, but there was indeed not much food in the household, and if it continued like this, the people in the palace would have nothing to eat.

After handing the fold, the Emperor called Zhongli in again.

Zhongli also had a sad face facing the emperor, and he shook his head at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's not that Weichen does things at will, but, but this matter Weichen didn't expect that there are so many homeless people, in just four days, the food in our granary is gone, and the prices in the capital are soaring, and now the people in the capital can't afford to eat food. Your Majesty, it's not a way to go on like this! ”

Zhongli knelt on the ground, his eyes were slightly red, and he almost didn't cry directly.

The Emperor took a few steps back and forth with some irritation, his eyes wide and glaring at Zhongli.

"Damn, what did you tell me before? Open a warehouse to release grain, relief to the victims, and then the apocalypse food will be delivered, but now? Now what? ”

Zhongli gritted his teeth with a ruthless heart.

"Otherwise, let's give less food for the time being, and then say that there is no food? Wait until you have slowed down, and then give them food? ”

Zhongli began to come up with bad ideas.

What else do they care about when they are hungry?

As the saying goes, promote Mien, fight Mi hate.

If the emperor does not give food, he will never give it.

If it is given, so that everyone can see the hope of life, then never break it, otherwise those evil wolves will do even more terrifying things.

But the emperor has been high up since he was a child, and he has never been in contact with those who dare to do anything because of hunger, so after thinking about it, he can only do this.

Three days later, the people who went to the grain depot to receive food according to the time found that there was no food today, and immediately began to scream.

Then, all the calls were answered.

They rushed to the capital from their hometown, they were already very tired, hungry and tired, but they didn't expect the emperor to order the release of food, and they ate for seven days in a row, seven days, enough for them to feed their bodies.

So now, after hearing that food will not be distributed, everyone is quitting.

Some of the tall, sturdy men rushed towards the officers and soldiers with direct shouts, and the first fight began.
