Chapter 411: The Empress Arrives
If the third prince is more worthy of her reliance than the second prince, Chen Yixue may be spared death.
"Brother-in-law, can you take me to see Your Majesty now?"
Chen Xinyi is kind and persuasive.
"Good ......"
Han Qingzhan obeyed her, but she was unwilling and looked at Chen Xinyi with expectation.
Chen Xinyi got up and leaned over, kissed his face, and encouraged him in his ear, "Let's go." ”
Han Qingzhan was satisfied, and led Chen Xinyi to the palace in a trance......
At this time, the third prince Han Qingsheng was angry, and smashed a book of folds on the body of the Hubu Shangshu, "The homeless people are everywhere, the homeless people are everywhere, why is there so much trouble for a widow to be an emperor?" Didn't the previous wave of displaced people have been pardoned and returned to their hometowns? Why did it make a comeback again? ”
"Your Majesty doesn't know. When the displaced people returned to their hometowns, they still did not have enough to eat. ”
"The relief food sent by the imperial court is not enough for them to eat?"
"This ...... Alas, Your Majesty, Wei Chen dared to say bluntly. The Ministry of Relief and Household Accounts allocated a large number of funds, but when they arrived in the localities, the local officials were enriched, and it was impossible to find out all of them for a while. In addition, the tax burden of the people in various places is heavy, and it is not enough to pay taxes on all the income and harvest throughout the year, and there are very few people who can make ends meet. Because many people have paid full taxes, the law is too strict to confiscate their homes and go to prison, and unjust cases occur frequently in various places, and the people are struggling to make a living. So instead of fending for themselves, the displaced people are getting bigger and bigger......"
Tobe Shangshu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said tremblingly, "There is still ......"
Han Qingsheng was furious, "What else?" What kind of system is it? Say! ”
"In just half a month after the 16 states of Yuezhou were assigned to Dachen Dazhou, the people of each state were exempted from taxes, and enough food was distributed for half a year. The displaced people in our territory gathered all sentient beings, claiming to let Xichu take refuge in Da Zhou or Da Chen......"
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"These people are really not things! The widow was heartbroken for them, and he was diligent in government affairs, and often stayed up all night with the lamp, and slept at night. They're good, ungrateful, rebellious and troublesome, damn it! The widow can drink and sleep for pleasure...... Look at the beauty, you can be as happy as you want. But the widow didn't, the widow even put on hold such a big thing as the draft, and I wanted them to see the widow endure humiliation and burden, benevolence and love for the people. But what about them? ”
Han Qingsheng was so angry that he easily tossed all the stacks of folds on the bookcase to the ground.
Tobe Shangshu was afraid of sincerity, and he didn't dare to breathe.
"Poor and unstood, clothed with cattle and horses, and eaten by dogs, they are insulted and damaged every day, scolding the rich Tian Lianqianmo, and hating the arrogant and lascivious officials, they should be sympathized? Definitely! They are so lazy, they only know how to gather people to parade the streets every day, sit and wait for white food, and refuse to bend down to plough the fields to support themselves, they deserve to starve to death...... I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Besides, why did they come to the imperial city to get along with the widows when they were hungry? Is it easier for a widow to bully than a magistrate? ”
Han Qingsheng crossed his waist and swirled all over the ground, trembling with anger.
When Tobe Shangshu saw it, his heart chuckled for a moment.
He originally came to petition for the people, but he didn't expect it to backfire, and Han Qingsheng was furious.
Han Qingsheng continued to be angry, and it was very likely that he would be angry with him first.
If he didn't say anything, he would be sitting still.
In order to save his life, Tobe Shangshu shrank his head and said against his heart: "Your Majesty is angry." Your Majesty is benevolent and virtuous in the world, diligent in government and loves the people, and the court is obvious to all, and all praise Your Majesty for his virtuous ability. ”
Han Qingsheng's anger was obviously much smaller, and his face eased a lot.
The heart of the Hubu Shangshu hanging in his throat finally came to fruition, and said: "Wechen originally thought that these homeless people were pitiful, Your Majesty Shengming, a few words made Wechen suddenly, and he knew that the poor people must have something to hate, and they really did not deserve sympathy. ”
A smile appeared on Han Qingsheng's face.
Hubu Shangshu made persistent efforts, "Weichen thinks about it carefully, there is originally everyone in this world. Born Dan is ugly, pigs, horses, chickens, sheep, dogs, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Human nature is even more unpredictable, there are many people who are shameless and insatiable, not to mention that most of those homeless people are stupid and short-sighted, how can they understand Your Majesty's love for the people? Your Majesty is wise, these outcasts, they really deserve to die. ”
After saying these words, Tobe Shangshu's conscience began to ache, but no matter how painful his conscience was, it was better than moving his head.
Han Qingsheng smiled, "Then you know what to do?" ”
"Huh?"
Tobe Shangshu was stunned, he knew a fart!
But Han Qingsheng laughed so happily, he dared to say that he didn't know?
"I know, I know, Your Majesty is the Holy Lord Mingjun, and Weichen is taught."
The head of the household is not the truth.
"Well, that's good. By the way, although the selection of draft girls has been put on hold for the time being, after this period of time, it is necessary to continue to enrich the harem, and the household department will set aside this part of the expenses. ”
Han Qingsheng never forgot about it.
"Yes!"
Hubu Shangshu couldn't wait to give himself a slap in the face, he didn't solve the actual problem, and he left himself with a bunch of things.
Where can the household get the silver? The treasury was squandered by Han Qingyong and the 400,000 army before, and it was still difficult to cope with daily expenses.
These words, Tobe Shangshu did not dare to say.
Han Qingsheng waved his hand, "Okay, stand down." ”
Hubu Shangshu was amnesty, knelt down and walked away, not wanting to, when he opened the door, he saw the second prince Han Qingzhan with an expressionless face, standing at the door with dull eyes, like a living dead, which startled him.
Hubu Shangshu was not frightened and fainted, and when he saw that it was the second prince, he didn't dare to say anything to blame, so he only threw his anger on Chen Xinyi behind him, "You palace maid is really a bastard, and the second prince didn't know to report first!" ”
I didn't want to, the palace maid smiled at him, and Yingsheng Yan said: "The deity is not a palace maid, but the queen!" ”
"What? Are you crazy? If the queen hears this, you will have no place to die! ”
The book of the household department was messy, and I felt that there was nothing that was not weird this night.
"Hmph, you'll know if I'm the queen or not in the future."
Chen Xinyi glanced at him contemptuously, bypassed him and the second prince, and pushed the door straight in.
"Your Highness, who is this woman?"
Hubu Shangshu made a gesture to the second prince and couldn't help but ask curiously.
But the second prince didn't move for a long time.
Hubu Shangshu looked up suspiciously, and saw that the second prince had maintained that expression for a long time, his eyes were still empty, and that appearance was like ...... It's as if the soul has been lost.
Hubu Shangshu's back was cold, and he didn't dare to stay for a long time, so he quickly slipped away.
As a result, he didn't take two steps when he heard a delicate female voice in the room, "Your Majesty! The concubine is here to be your queen, what does Your Majesty want? ”
This woman is so crazy that she dares to talk to His Majesty like this as soon as she enters the door!
Tobe Shangshu immediately stopped his feet and listened carefully......
