Chapter 456: The Scapegoat
"The emperor blesses, and the phoenix body protects itself."
Master Wei pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly, "Niangniang really loves to laugh." ”
"Do you doubt Hongu's identity?"
"The lower officials don't dare, but they have some doubts." He said he didn't dare, but his eyes were full of doubts.
Su Ying didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so she said directly: "You immediately send someone to set up a tent camp outside the city, and then set up a pot to give porridge to ensure that the victims can eat hot porridge." ”
When Lord Wei heard this, he sneered in his heart, an imposter really dared to come to him to give orders.
He sneered and said: "Enough, the official originally wanted to sing a play with you to see what tricks you were going to play, who knew that you still had to point fingers at the official, what kind of queen, as far as the official knows, the queen turned into a puddle of white bones in the flood, what kind of person are you, you dare to pretend to be the queen's mother, what a big boldness!" Come on, take down this liar to this official! ”
The officials rushed in and surrounded Su Ying, and the guards also crowded in to block Su Ying.
Su Ying didn't move, looking at Lord Wei's eyes as if he was looking at a dead man, "Lord Wei, this palace has given you a chance to reform yourself, if you start to provide disaster relief from now on, maybe this palace can still leave you a whole corpse." ”
Lord Wei felt a little chill down the back of Su Ying's eyes, but he decided that Su Ying was fake, and he really didn't believe that she could do anything to herself.
"Why don't you take someone down for me quickly!"
The official messenger and the guards started to fight, but where were these officials who were the opponents of these killers who licked blood on the knife edge, and the official messenger was quickly grabbed and thrown into the courtyard.
Lord Wei didn't expect Su Ying's people to be so powerful, so he turned around and ran away in fright, where would Su Ying give him a chance to leave.
The guard grabbed the person with a grappler, escorted him and knelt in front of Su Ying.
"You, who are you, let go of this official, I am an official of the imperial court, if you dare to hurt me, you will be killed!"
Su Ying got up and stepped forward, his eyes swept over his neck, "If you don't take good care of the disaster, this palace guarantees that your head will fall faster." ”
"You guys, who the hell are you!"
Su Ying took out the phoenix card from his body, "Phoenix card, do you know?" ”
Lord Wei's eyes widened in shock, but the golden phoenix card in front of him made him suspicious.
It stands to reason that if the queen really fell into the torrent at that time, it would be impossible to survive, then if the person in front of her was really the queen, then there was only one possibility, the person who fell into the water at the beginning was not her at all!
Lord Wei's heart was full of electricity, and he finally made up his mind and said: "The queen's mother's forgiveness is not that the lower officials did not go to the disaster relief, but that the granary in the city was burned, and almost all the grain and grass hoarded in the granary were burned, and the government really couldn't take out the grain and grass to relieve the victims." ”
Su Ying raised her eyebrows, "Oh? And there is such a thing. ”
"Yes, Niangniang, the lower officials don't want to cause trouble to the court, so they have been thinking of ways in the house, but they haven't thought of what to do."
Su Ying nodded, "I see, it's Lord Wei who is wrong in this palace, but this disaster victim can't ignore it, he can't watch them starve to death, so let's do it, Lord Wei, as the magistrate of Los Angeles, will lead by example first, Zhou Qing, you will follow the housekeeper to the granary in the house to count and count in a while, see how much grain is still stored here, leave the part that does not die of hunger, and send the rest to the disaster victims." ”
Lord Wei was dissatisfied, but he just thought about a little food, and he took it, and he felt that Su Ying was just a real queen, so what could he do?
"Yes, everything will be done according to what the mother said."
"Well, but this bit of food is definitely not enough, and the people in the city need to solve the problem of hunger as soon as possible, Lord Wei should know some merchants in Los Angeles in the past two years, you go and tell them, the palace wants to borrow the grain in their hands, if they are willing, the palace will be rewarded afterwards."
Lord Wei's eyes rolled, and he secretly said Su Ying's abacus is really loud, and those businessmen must know in their hearts that if this grain is taken out, will they have to pay it back?
But he can't figure out Su Ying's identity now, so he can only say that he will try his best to communicate with Shangjia, but whether he can have food is another matter.
Su Ying didn't let him pack the ticket, but asked him to send someone out of the city to set up a tent to house the victims.
Lord Wei replied and retreated.
Zhou Qing also followed the housekeeper to count the food in the mansion.
Zhou Qing knew that there was food in the government, but he didn't expect that there would be so much, and he was resentful, this Lord Wei didn't care about the life or death of the people at all.
Zhou Qing left a small amount of food as a supply, and the rest were moved out, those victims have been hungry for so long, and they must be given porridge as soon as possible, otherwise there will definitely be a big incident if it goes on like this.
After Lord Wei left, Su Ying let the guards let out the news, so that the merchants in the city knew that as long as they made contributions to the country and the people when they needed it, the state would definitely give commendations and rewards afterwards, such as the benefits of scientific examinations for younger generations, and the fact that family members were given to study in prestigious academies.
In this era, the status of Shangjia was not high, and in the early days of the Chu State, Shangjia, including his descendants, were not eligible to participate in the imperial examination, which also led to the status of Shangjia not being raised.
Later, the emperor proposed that those with both ability and political integrity could be examined, which made Shang Jia see some hope, but even so, Shang Jia's status in the eyes of the nobles of the family was still very low.
Now that Su Ying has set conditions that are conducive to the development of their descendants, I believe that there will be many people who are willing to contribute at this time, and she still needs the surname Wei to do things for her, so she will not move the food hidden in the cave for the time being, and keep it for the beast to ask for the guilt.
After leaving the main hall, Lord Wei did not rush to set up any tents to treat the victims, but immediately sent a message to the capital, saying that someone pretended to be the queen mother to prevent him from treating the disaster in Los Angeles.
Originally, he wanted to hide the disaster, but Su Ying, the scapegoat, came to the door, and he happened to blame her for the fire in the granary, a person who dared to pretend to be the queen, the emperor would definitely be angry and directly behead people, and when he came to a golden cicada to come out of the shell, the grain would be his!
Thinking of this, Lord Wei's mood became beautiful.
However, in order to stabilize Su Ying, it seems that he still has to do it, and after writing a message to the capital, he will send people to set up tents outside the city to settle the victims, and when the people from the court come, they can also see it.
"My lord, do you want to tell those people about the food donation?" The merchants in the city are waiting for the time when the grain is really out of food to make a fortune, can they be happy to donate food now?
