However, affected by the incident in the capital, the price of rice in various cities skyrocketed, and a bucket of rice exceeded 300 yuan, and the people's resentment boiled, pointing all the contradictions to the crown prince who temporarily took the throne.

This happened during his custody, and he could not escape the blame.

The crown prince sighed in the palace all day long, and almost didn't wash his face with tears.

The most dissatisfying thing is that the incident at the Mihang butcher shop happened for a long time, and the prince sent troops to suppress the riots, and the people's grievances became more and more boiling, and there were cursing and crying everywhere.

In the imperial study, the prince and the ministers discussed a solution, but there was no good solution.

The crown prince walked up to the eldest princess and said in a deep voice: "Eldest sister, you should open a warehouse to release grain and help the refugees." ”

Such a serious incident happened in the capital, which made him very worried, not to mention that he is still not right, even if the jade seal is in his hands, and he sits firmly on the throne with the support of the eldest sister and the private army, he can't bear all kinds of accusations from the people, he can't afford this pot.

And these refugees are all coming from Wu State, and they have nothing to do with him Dawei itself, as the eldest princess of the Empress of Wu State, how can she act like a person who has nothing to do?

"Eldest princess, the minister suggested that all localities should first open Yicang to ensure that the displaced people can fill their stomachs and calm their emotions, and then slowly slow down the number of disaster relief, and send people to divide the displaced people into several batches, and transport them back to their own country in batches." A minister said.

In the imperial study, not only the high-level officials of the imperial court, but also some local light officials were also summoned to the palace to discuss countermeasures together.

A magistrate had a deep understanding of the local situation and said, "The prince, the princess, and the ministers also think so. As long as the warehouse is opened and the grain is released, there will be no more smashing, looting and killing. ”

This magistrate has long wanted to do this, this is to open a righteous warehouse, not something that he can do as a prefect.

Before opening a position, the inspector must be present to supervise it, so as to avoid corruption by the yamen.

Therefore, many local officials used the food inside the yamen to relieve the victims, and the number of people was fine, and they could barely go hungry and have a full meal.

But like the situation in the capital, the crown prince and the eldest princess don't open their mouths and don't release grain, where can they be relieved.

The prince nodded in agreement.

The eldest princess said: "This suggestion will be considered by the palace, but there are too many victims, even if you open a righteous warehouse, you can't help them for long."

Now what this palace wants is a solution, not for you to take your own food out to comfort the victims.

After eating this meal, what about the next? Will there be no end to relief? ”

The prince was stunned.

It's clearly the people of their Wu country! Great Wei wants to relieve the refugees of Wu who are pouring in, but she, the queen of Wu State, is still not happy?

Sometimes the prince has to wonder if these refugees are fake by the soldiers of the Wu State and specially secretly Chen Cang came to Dawei to make trouble, right?

"Well, guys. The palace thinks that it can first send a respected minister to the counties of the capital to appease the people and emotions, who do you think is more appropriate? ”

All the ministers looked at each other and asked the old ministers to appease the angry victims, what is the difference between this and intentional homicide?

What's more, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven is imprisoned by them, so the prince has to go out to appease the victims, right? Why did you put this burden on the minister?

The prince shrunk his neck, glad that the eldest sister didn't let him go out of the palace to do this.

Now most of the high-level officials are hiding in the palace, and they don't dare to step out of the palace gate at all, for fear that if they are not careful, they will be trampled to death inexplicably.

The eldest princess looked at the prime minister, whose scalp was numb and trembling.

It's coming, it's coming. This wicked woman is finally about to extend her claws to herself.

Among these ministers, in addition to the approving faction, there is also the neutralization faction, which neither opposes nor agrees with the prince's temporary administration of the government.

Only the prime minister, 10,000 disagree.

Every day, I either went to the prince to lobby and quickly let the eldest princess release Li Zhen, or I went to the eldest princess to say something about the prince who was not suitable to be the emperor, and I didn't please them.

There will be this end, everyone takes it for granted, and they all look at him with sympathetic eyes.

At this time, the secretary of the criminal department came out and said: "Eldest princess, the minister feels that the prime minister, as the minister of a country, is above 10,000 people under one person, and it is necessary to travel to various parts of the capital to appease the victims." ”

"The minister also thinks that the prime minister is suitable." Another minister came out on the list.

"The prime minister is highly respected and experienced, and he is always thinking about serving the emperor.

Now the crown prince has not been on the throne for a long time, and he is still too young to go out and take risks. There is no one but the Prime Minister who should inspect the disaster area. ”

These kings and eight calves, the prime minister is angry, but can he refuse? Did you refuse?

The prime minister froze and stood in place, his face ugly, and he did not say a word.

"Well, since that's the case, then let the prime minister appease the refugees, and by the way, think of a few more countermeasures." Princess Celestia said lightly.

Wicked woman, wicked woman! The prime minister roared wildly in his heart, and it was clear that everyone was just looking at his eyes, so they would point the finger at him.

"What? Looking at the prime minister's appearance, it seems that he is not happy? Celestia squinted.

The prime minister sneered twice, "No, how can you not be happy?" ”

Does he have the right to say it if he is happy or not? Have it?

Now the only one who can solve the crisis is the three princes.

After so many days, why didn't he move anything?

Did he really ignore His Majesty and the people?

The Prime Minister's heart tugged.

"That's good, because of the great destruction of the spirit, the price of food in the rest of the city has risen sharply, you also know.

Yesterday, the palace had asked the crown prince to send the forbidden army to the major border entrances and exits of the capital, so as not to let the external refugees continue to pour in, and not to let the displaced people in the capital go out.

And put 1 million stone of grain and sent people to the rest of the cities to provide relief. ”

The prince's heart trembled, and he couldn't figure out what his eldest sister was thinking.

Sending food to other areas, but not arranging for refugees in the capital at all.

Not only that, but they also closed all the border entrances and exits, apparently with the intention of not wanting the riot to end.

The prince couldn't figure it out, and his head hurt.

If it weren't for the tiger talisman in the hands of the eldest princess, he would have been able to shout a thing or two.

The magistrate who spoke earlier stepped forward and said: "Prince, eldest princess, the minister thinks that the resettlement of the victims is not only our official responsibility, but there are also many wealthy merchants in various places, they have responsibilities, and it is necessary to listen to the imperial court to share their worries." ”

"Ordinary people don't have much surplus food at home, but most of the rich families have surplus food.

The crown prince can ask the emperor to issue a mandatory decree, ordering merchants to participate in the donation, and each merchant household must be affected by the earthquake for at least three days, and send the imperial history to supervise. ”
