Chapter 68 The prince is righteous

Hearing this, the desire to explore the prince in Xiye's heart was suddenly hooked out by Mo Xun.

"The prince is ...... Why is it sad? ”

Mo Xun turned his head to look at the stump and severed arm in this place, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "You just saw the corpse mountain and blood sea in this place, but have you ever seen that this Central Plains is slowly flourishing now?"

"Your Highness is indeed ruthless, but he has never used a butcher's knife against a poor person like you and me."

"Even if you are a slave of an alien race, His Highness will save you, what reason do you have to blame him for killing innocents indiscriminately!"

In fact, Mo Xun is angry with Xiye at the moment, but because he is still young, he is not good at reprimanding, and now he is just using the topic to play.

And the last sentence was indeed like a sharp blade, which was slammed into Xiye's heart, and it suddenly made him embarrassed.

Mo Xun slowly patted Xiye's shoulder: "Girl, don't blame Brother Mo for being serious, look at this."

After that, Mo Xun landed on the ground and picked up the head of an old man, even if he died, he could see the kindness in his face.

It's just that he is holding it in Mo Xun's hand right now, and it looks like there is a trace of sickly bloody beauty.

"I like what Your Highness said."

"What...... What? ”

"I opened the history and checked, and there is no age in this history. The words "benevolence, righteousness and morality" were written on each page crookedly, and I couldn't sleep horizontally and vertically, and I read carefully for half the night before I could see from the cracks in the words that there were two words written on the book to eat people. ”

"Don't look at how kind these officials are, they are full of benevolence and morality when they talk to people on weekdays, but if you open their stomachs and look at them, they are full of people's lives."

"These seemingly glamorous people, in order to seek profit and power, now hundreds of thousands of people are displaced, and they are even more greedy for the life-saving money that the prince is preparing to give to the victims."

"Girl, do you know that thousands of people are starving to death every day in the people today, if this money can reach the people a day earlier, there will be thousands of fewer deaths, where are they greedy for money, they are eating a living person!"

Speaking of this, Mo Xun's words were already a little excited, since following the prince, after going to Kaifeng for disaster relief last time, he also realized for the first time that if the style of the officials above is not correct, how many people will suffer!

As for the West Night, he was also shocked by Mo Xun's words for a long time and couldn't calm down, and the guilt suddenly poured into his heart.

"If you are a child of the scholar clan, you can hate Your Highness, but girl, you are from a poor background, and the reason why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince killed so many people is to fight for more ways to live with us from poor backgrounds."

"Think about it, now that the major upper-class scholars in the Central Plains are slandering and insulting His Highness, if we, who are from poor backgrounds, still accuse His Highness of indiscriminately killing innocents, how do you think His Highness will face what he has done?"

Speaking of this, Xiye was already a little choked: "Uncle Mo, don't say it."

Mo Xun always respects Chen Mu, in order to consolidate his rule, the emperors of the past dynasties have always valued the interests of the major scholars, and he has never seen such a ruler who wholeheartedly works for the welfare of the people at the bottom.

Killing a lot of people for more people to live is a great righteousness!

And at the same time, the Prime Minister's house.

Wang Quanyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, came to the house: "Xiangye, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry died like this, and directly copied the three clans, this prince is really becoming more and more unscrupulous."

After learning that Chen Mu's methods were so vicious, Liu Cheng was actually shocked, and his henchmen were killed like this.

Even if what everyone said was understated before, when he wanted to take action against the prince now, he found that he couldn't do anything effective at all.

The courtiers are already humble in the face of imperial power, and he is justified in killing the Ministry of Works, not to mention that the prince now has troops.

After a long time, Liu Cheng sighed: "This kid is becoming more and more uncontrollable now, if he doesn't suppress it, many ministers are afraid that he will sway."

Compared with Liucheng's worries, Wang Quanyi sneered: "Liu Xiang don't worry, the entire Jiangbei is ravaged by the disaster this time, doesn't the prince want to help the disaster?" Let him go to the relief, the lower officials have a feeling that the prince's disaster relief will definitely show flaws. ”

Looking at Wang Quanyi's confident face, Liu Cheng suddenly became interested: "Could it be that you have a way?"

"Hehe, Xia Guan just made a judgment based on the way the prince did things, so ...... also let the minister sell a pass. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Quanyi's face showed a hint of ruthlessness: "This time, we are likely to take the opportunity to get rid of the prince."

"All along, you have a lot of methods, and you don't ask about your true appearance, just wait for your good news."

Shang Shufang.

Zhang Zuozheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, knelt in front of Chen Mu: "Minister, I implore Your Highness to let the minister serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Works."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Mu suddenly became interested, this was the first time he had met someone who took the initiative to ask for an official.

"You are quite bold, the position will be arranged by the palace, and it is your turn to take the initiative?"

Zhang Zuo did not show timidity on his face, and continued: "The minister has no intention of committing a crime, and now that the court is full of the Liu family, will His Highness hand over the post of Shangshu to them?"

"The minister doesn't mean anything else, the minister just wants to follow His Highness to clean up the court."

Chen Mu frowned: "Want to take refuge in the palace?" You're such an interesting person, why didn't you show your head in the first place? Now that there is a gap in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, he has found the palace? ”

Zhang Zuo's face condensed slightly: "At that time...... The minister didn't see the vitality from His Royal Highness, but now he sees it, at least the minister has not been in the same stream with Liu from beginning to end, which is the name of the vote. ”

"Hehe, you kid is sincere, but think about it, once you take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Industry, you will be the enemy of Liucheng, and the advantage of this battle is in Liucheng after all."

"Since the minister dared to come and ask His Highness about the important officials, he naturally made these preparations."

"Okay, if you have the courage, this palace is approved, let's go and familiarize yourself with the affairs first, or it won't be long before this palace will prepare for disaster relief."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zuo's defection is excellent news for Chen Mu, which also shows that now the officials' belief in Liucheng has begun to waver, which is due to the military power in their hands.

As long as we do one more thing to establish our prestige, such as doing a good job in this disaster relief, more people will surely come to take refuge.

Thinking of this, Chen Mu was also slightly happy in his heart, and it seemed that the day of unifying the dynasty was not far away.

But at this moment, Mo Xun walked in again.

"Your Royal Highness, this time the search for the property and land of the Liulin family, as well as all kinds of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, a total of three million taels, and the five million taels approved before, the minister also recovered four million and a half million in time, plus the remaining money in the treasury, there should be 10 million taels of silver, which is enough to face this disaster relief."

Hearing this number, Chen Mu did not rush to answer, and after pondering for a moment, he said lightly: "This palace really thinks that this famine is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."
