Chapter 226: Sustenance
"Now the situation in the capital is the most serious, and the disaster relief site can also be placed at the gate of the capital to guide the displaced people in the city to go out.
And set up tents near the edge of the city, so that the displaced people who are congested near the imperial city will be well relieved. ”
"That's a good idea." The prince's eyes lit up.
The eldest princess sneered, "Didn't you hear what Bengong said just now?" The gates of the city were closed, and the homeless people remained here. ”
The hearts of all the ministers sank suddenly, and it was clear that the solution of the magistrate was the only way, and it was also the fastest way to evacuate the refugees from the capital, but the eldest princess didn't do it, she wanted to gather the refugees here, did she want to destroy the capital?
After a moment of silence, Princess Celestia stood up and looked around at them.
"Except for the capital, other cities can do what they just did, guide the displaced people out of the city, and ensure that the major cities are safe and sound."
Rumble.
These words verified the conjecture in everyone's hearts, except for the capital, the eldest princess wanted to let the victims congested in the capital destroy the capital, and make the people of the capital panic.
"Alright, let's all go down!" Princess Celestia waved her hand.
All the ministers saluted and withdrew.
On the side of the newspaper factory.
Dugu Ling handed a dense letter to Li Xingchen.
"City Lord, the cause of the riots in the major rice shops has been largely investigated by the intelligence department."
Li Xingchen opened the letter and looked at it, and it was very clear that the cause of the riot was no different from what he had guessed.
It was because of the lack of disaster relief, and Jing Zhaoyin ignored it, let him be free, and did not carry out guidance and resettlement measures, which led to the gradual disturbance of the refugees in the back, and the army symbolically dispatched a wave of beatings.
Under this oppression, the refugees became more and more irritable, and in order to survive, large-scale food rushes began to erupt.
Even so, the imperial court still did not provide disaster relief, nor did it send troops to appease, and after the people finished looting, they pretended to send troops out to carry out the so-called suppression.
Li Xingchen angrily slapped the letter on the table.
The primary responsibility for this matter is Jing Zhaoyin, but Jing Zhaoyin will not be confused and let the capital fall into chaos, I am afraid that the eldest princess is the ghost.
Li Xingchen felt that there must be other situations here.
Otherwise, it is impossible for the Empress of Wu to be a blessing in Great Wei with one mouth, and even the army listens to her, what kind of mutation happened here?
Li Xingchen closed his eyes tightly, and opened them after a while, his eyes flashed, could it be that this matter also has something to do with General Longhu?
Is it him who has a secret affair with Princess Celestia?
After carefully recalling what General Long Hu said on the day of the annual meeting, Li Xingchen couldn't tell if the other party was talking nonsense, or if he was calculated by the eldest princess after returning to Beijing.
"City Lord, what should we do now? The scout came to report that the 10,000 Lingzhou army led by General Yuan would take at least two days to reach the capital. ”
Dugu Ling opened his mouth to interrupt his thoughts.
Random Dugu Ling said suddenly: "By the way, there is another matter, but I heard about it, and I didn't think it was that important, so I didn't let the intelligence department investigate." ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Li Xingchen asked curiously.
"When I came back from the intelligence base last night, I saw someone in the palace hurrying to the direction of Baishan.
Curious, I grabbed someone to ask, and they said that they went to Baishan to invite a monk for the eldest princess. ”
Li Xingchen frowned slightly, "Monk, please?" Look, that woman doesn't believe in Buddhism either! ”
Dugu Ling looked disdainful, "She doesn't believe in Buddhism, but she believes in art, and the eunuch of Wu said that the eldest princess lived in Baishan Temple for a few days on the way to Great Wei."
The presiding officer there claimed to have lived five hundred years and was so skilled in magic that the eldest princess worshipped him as a god. ”
Li Xingchen twitched the corners of his lips speechlessly.
He doesn't believe in this kind of thing, a monk who lives to be 500 years old? Hehe, apparently a liar.
But the always shrewd princess can also be deceived by a monk? It's funny.
While the two were chatting, a palace attendant hurriedly ran in.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, the eldest princess, please go to the palace for a gathering."
"Let her do it herself." Dugu Ling said coldly.
Li Xingchen remained silent, sat in place and didn't say whether he wanted to go or not.
"Why are you still standing here when you hear it, it's annoying to see you eunuchs."
The eunuch was red-faced when Dugu Ling said it, and he didn't dare to refute it, he looked at Li Xingchen's side, and pleaded with a face: "The third prince is kind-hearted, please don't embarrass the slave." ”
"It's her who wants to see me, not me who wants to see her." Li Xingchen's attitude was clear, and the eunuch hesitated for two seconds, turned his head and ran out.
An hour later, the eldest princess, escorted by a large number of forbidden troops, came to the newspaper factory and looked curiously at the major photocopiers in the newspaper hall.
Although he was curious, he didn't ask, but smiled and said, "Third brother, I haven't seen you for so many days, and I have to let this sister, who is a sister, come to see you in person?" The temper is not small. ”
Dugu Ling replied, "Can you drink five or six with my sister?" ”
"Presumptuous." The eldest princess scolded coldly, "This palace is talking to the third brother, when will it be your turn to interject?" Third brother, you have to discipline your subordinates well, so as not to make people think that you have no way to discipline you, and it will also damage your reputation. ”
"My people don't have to worry about Celestia Celestia." Li Xingchen picked up the teacup and took a leisurely sip.
Princess Celestia stared at him indifferently, and a moment later let out a burst of laughter like a silver bell.
"Third brother, third brother, is it because the palace has too much hope for you?
It's been many days since you returned to the capital, and this palace sees that you are helpless against the refugees in the capital, so you can only hide here all day and do nothing.
It seems that the people's evaluation of you is too high, and most of them are false, and a little thing as big as a sesame mung bean is rumored to be a meritorious achievement.
Actually, you can't do that. ”
Dared? Li Xingchen didn't eat this set, and still tasted fragrant tea leisurely.
Dugu Ling was angry and said angrily: "What do you know? You, a princess who married far away from Wu, have not been to Dawei for nearly 20 years, do you know what the situation is in Dawei now?
Do you know where the food of those people came from?
Do you know who invented soap, textile mills, printing presses, and so on?
Or do you think the people are all stupid? With false rumors, can they make them respect and love the three princes in their hearts?
It's you who is stupid! ”
Princess Celestia was furious, and no one had ever dared to be so presumptuous with her.
"Third brother, now that the situation in the capital is chaotic, if you are useless, leave as soon as possible, your ability is clear at a glance."
The eldest princess spoke coldly, with contempt in her eyes.
Li Xingchen supported his cheek with one hand.
This refugee disaster was aimed at him at all, just to test whether he was able to solve it.
Princess Celestia stared at him, domineering.
