On the towering city wall, Bei Shuyi led everyone to look down at the refugees and officers and soldiers tearing down.

"What's going on?"

Wave after wave of unevenness, Bei Shuyi's face was extremely ugly, and his brows were tightly locked.

A minister trembled forward to report.

"Your Majesty, they are all refugees from Linzhou, saying that there was a drought in Linzhou, there was a famine, and many people died of starvation, so they had no choice but to run to the imperial city."

Bei Shuyi listened, and his eyes were gloomy and he glanced at the officials.

"Lin Zhou is drought, why haven't I heard anyone report it!"

The emperor was furious, and everyone knelt down in fright.

Jiang Wan and Bei Jinchuan stood behind, watching the refugees crying and shouting for the officers and soldiers to open the door.

They were sallow-faced and emaciated, and some of them rushed frantically towards the roadside stalls, stuffing the food they had grabbed into their mouths.

There have been many ladies from the family who give soup relief, but there are too many people to save them, and most of these homeless people have been hungry for many days, and when they see the food, their eyes glow green, and they rush forward.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Jiang Wan looked away, and saw that Bei Jinchuan's face was calm, without the slightest surprise, as if she had known it for a long time, looking down here.

It is no wonder that there are more and more people begging in the imperial city today.

Maybe from that day in the red. Sleeve Pavilion, His Royal Highness King Qi expected all this to happen today. He deliberately increased the price, I'm afraid it was also to prepare for today.

He cast a wide net, and all of them were counted by him.

Bei Jinchuan faintly retracted his gaze, and accidentally met the young man's clear eyes, he was slightly flustered, and slowly hooked the corners of his lips in the young man's inquiring gaze.

Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the miracle doctor. Someone is really smart and scary.

He chuckled, and then, as if remembering something, his face turned heavy.

On that day, Dapo Shaoling returned to Beijing from the border pass, passing through Lin Zhou, and he noticed that the situation in Lin Zhou was wrong.

The weather was unusually hot, the land was parched, there was little water around, and the crops were not good.

Then he sent people to secretly pay attention to the situation in Linzhou, and sure enough, the drought broke out in Linzhou, but the imperial city did not receive any news at all.

It's not that the prefect of Linzhou didn't report it, as early as when the drought occurred, the prefect of Linzhou reported it, but the document was pressed by officials at all levels, and it was stunned for more than two months, and the news had not yet reached the imperial city.

The location of Linzhou is remote, and it is indeed a necessary place to return to Beijing through the border pass, and it is also a fortress to guard the country of Shao. If there is an accident in Linzhou, the entire country of Shao will be in danger.

In the court, the atmosphere was very solemn.

The officials bowed their heads and did not dare to be the first to speak.

The Ministry of Rites is still in the book, and the white book is played.

"Your Majesty, now that there is chaos in Linzhou, the people are panicking, and the top priority is to stabilize the refugees in the imperial city as soon as possible, solve the drought in Linzhou, and then deal with the officials who have misreported the situation."

Bei Shuyi nodded, this was what he was worried about.

"Lin Zhou's drought, what can Zhong Aiqing do?"

Everyone whispered, and no one dared to be the first to speak.

Bei Jinchuan sneered, stepped forward, and swept over everyone in a casual tone.

"In the drought in Linzhou, we must first allocate grain, and then send people to disaster relief to solve the drought problem on the spot."

As soon as they heard about the food, everyone exploded one after another.

The country attaches great importance to military force and despises agriculture, agriculture is underdeveloped, and the state does not have much grain in stock.

Shangguan immediately stepped forward to stop it.

"Your Majesty, the treasury is scarce, and the triennial four-nation banquet is about to be held in our dynasty, if the treasury is exhausted at this time, at that time at the four-nation banquet, where is the face of my country?!"

Many officials echoed his righteous remarks.

Bei Jinchuan chuckled, looking at the fat-headed and big-eared Shangguan, and felt a little funny.

These people are accustomed to being high, and they forget the hardships of those below, and human life is like a mustard, and in their eyes, the lives of those untouchables are not worth mentioning.

"This king has said that he wants to embezzle the treasury?"

Shangguan Yan looked at the eyes of the King of Shangqi who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and there was some hair in his heart.

"King Qi, what do you mean by this?"

Bei Jinchuan smiled again, and there was no temperature in his eyes.

"That day in the red. In the case of corruption and bribery a few days ago, many adults really blinded the king's eyes with money and silver. How? When the national disaster is at hand, you adults can't fail to take out a little silver tael?! ”

Shangguan's eyelids jumped, and the people who were still helping him speak just now listened to King Qi's words all closed their mouths, and their old faces turned blue and white for a while.

Bei Jinchuan looked at everyone's reactions and continued to speak slowly.

"This king still has the roster left over from the investigation of the case that day, ladies and gentlemen, do you want this king to read it here?"

Those weak-hearted officials were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and admitted their mistakes, saying that they were willing to pay for disaster relief.

They all have a shadow on the King of Qi, and the King of Qi has just returned to Beijing to dispose of them all, and they dare not speak out.

After all, people who are fighting on the battlefield have momentum that ordinary people can bear.

"The minister is willing to give a thousand taels."

"The minister is willing to give three thousand taels."

"The minister is willing to give five hundred taels."

Everyone broke out one after another, and Shangguan Shi stood alone in the court and was alone, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say.

"The old minister is willing to give 10,000 taels."

Bei Jinchuan did not have the slightest surprise, and when he saw this, he retreated, and was bored watching the play on the side.

I was thinking in my heart, the boy was going to leave Beijing and go to Linzhou, where there was a drought and a bad environment, and the boy's body was already very weak, what if a person was bullied somewhere?!

Bai Shuzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately joked with a smile.

"Su Guogong is really rich and loyal."

Shangguan Yan sneered, not daring to say anything, for fear that the emperor would remember the corruption of his Shangguan family a few days ago, and then slaughter him severely.

The Emperor's Chin.

"Aiqing has a heart."

"It is the duty of the old minister to share the worries of His Majesty." Shangguan immediately expressed his loyalty.

Bai Shuzhen saw that the money was in place, and said with a smile.

"Lin Zhou is in a big disaster, this time Your Majesty also needs to send a prince to Lin Zhou for disaster relief, one is to appease the people, and the other is to show that Your Majesty attaches importance to Lin Zhou."

Shangguan Yan just wanted to recommend the second prince Bei Siyang to go, but Bai Shuzhen took the lead.

"Now that the second prince is grounded, His Royal Highness King Chen serves by the Queen Mother's side, only His Royal Highness King Qi is the right person, and the minister proposes to let King Qi go to Lin Zhou for disaster relief."

Shangguan's words were withdrawn in his throat, and he couldn't go up or down, he was very uncomfortable, so he could only stare at him dryly and look at him viciously.

As Bai Shuzhen knelt, the ministers followed and asked to kneel.

Bei Shuyi looked at the ministers below kneeling down and pleading, his eyes were dark, and he looked at his eldest son standing in the center of the court, his expression was a little complicated.

"King Qi, what do you think?"

Bei Jinchuan raised his eyebrows and said expressionlessly.

"Erchen is willing to go to Lin Zhou for disaster relief."

"Okay, since that's the case, then the King of Qi will go to Lin Zhou with the Marquis of Yibei on the same day."
