Two hours later, in the Wende Palace, the main civil officials of the court and the central government were all counted.

Zhao Xuanchao motioned to Wei Xian, Wei Xian held the fold in his hand, walked down with a heavy face, and took the fold in his hand to Zuo Xiang first.

Wei Zhengming had already heard the news earlier, and there was an urgent report in the palace for six hundred miles, but it was only now that His Majesty asked them to come to discuss the matter, and he didn't care too much about it in his heart.

It's not too urgent!

But after seeing what was written in the excerpt, Wei Zhengming's face changed greatly, and he quickly passed the fold in his hand to the right minister.

After Lin Xiangru saw what he wrote, his face turned a little dark, and his eyes secretly glanced up.

Why didn't His Majesty inform them of such a major event at the first time?

With his backhand, he handed over the fold to a few books behind him, and everyone also let out a soft cry.

Obviously, it was the locust plague in three provinces and one state that made them feel a feeling of heart palpitations.

If the locust plague cannot be controlled, let alone three governments and one state, I am afraid that the whole world will suffer!

"Zhongqing, is there a good plan?" Zhao Xuanchao asked as if he were doing a routine thing.

"The minister thinks that it is time to immediately organize the officials of the three governments and one state to prepare to prevent changes among the people!" Wei Zhengming said with a serious face.

With the locust plague, the people have no way to live, and there will naturally be robbery and killing, if the court does not ask, the land of three provinces and one state may become purgatory on earth.

"The minister thought that he should appease the people, give porridge and food, and encourage the people to drive away locusts together!" Lin Xiangru opened his mouth and said, he was more inclined to the side of the people.

"Your Majesty, the treasury of silver is not enough to support the expenses of three governments and one state!" As soon as the two ministers finished speaking, Du Futai, the head of the household, immediately cried and became poor.

This time it's not a fake crying poor, but I really can't come up with so much silver!

Three prefectures and one state, occupying one-third of the territory of the Later Qin, if you make a short offering, grit your teeth and take the silver in the treasury first, and wait for the tax revenue to be recovered after the autumn harvest, and you can also tide over the difficulties.

Nowadays, there is a drought in Henan Province, the victims are all over the world, and there is a locust plague in three provinces and one state, but the silver in the treasury has not changed, how can he take out the silver?

Even if he dares to risk losing his head now and take out the silver in the treasury first to save the emergency, but afterwards? In the land of four prefectures and one state, there will definitely be no tax after the autumn harvest!

With such a big hole, even if he gave him more than 100 catties, he couldn't block a single star!

"Isn't it possible to give relief to the victims in the first place?" Zhao Xuanchao heard Du Futai's words and immediately asked.

The strategy provided by Qin Yu at the beginning, under the perfection of Zuo Xiang, was actually put into action, and the effect was naturally there.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent!" Du Futai directly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty, he really couldn't do this kind of work, after all, he couldn't give more money out of thin air.

Zhao Xuan glared at his eyes and shouted, "You didn't even think about it, do you know if you can't do it?" ”

Du Futai knelt on the ground and explained without raising his head: "Your Majesty, the silver accounts in the treasury are all there, and it is said that acting according to the previous actions can indeed solve some problems, but now the three governments and one state are like this, and the ministers can't change the silver!" The affairs of the victims of the disaster in Henan Mansion still need to be carried out slowly, but now the three prefectures, one state and four places need silver to support, even if the minister breaks all the silver into two pieces, it is not enough to support it! ”

After Zhao Xuanchao finished Du Futai's explanation, he didn't care about him anymore, but asked the others: "Do other Aiqing have a good plan?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and said that the countermeasures were somewhat in everyone's hearts, but all the countermeasures were based on the silver of the imperial court!

The household department said that there was no silver to use, and even if they said the flowers, they might not be able to produce an extra bowl of rice porridge in the end!

What else is there to say about this?

Besides, every locust plague in history, there is no good solution, you can only resist the past, the court is rich, the people can live a little better, the court is not rich, it can only be the pain of the people!

Zhao Xuanchao saw that everyone was silent, he raised his hand and slapped the table, and said angrily: "What am I raising you for? When I wanted to use you, you didn't move one by one? ”

"The minister is guilty!"

All the people knelt down in unison.

In the Wende Hall, there was silence.

After a long time, Zhao Xuanchao finally spoke up, "There are so many difficulties today, isn't it a warning from heaven to me, and a dissatisfaction with me?" ”

The left and right ministers raised their heads slightly, and the two glanced at each other, as if they understood the meaning of Zhao Xuanchao's words.

Does Your Majesty want to make an edict against himself?

It's not that they haven't thought about it, but no one dares to touch the mold of Zhao Xuanchao at such a time, and no king will think that his virtue is at a loss?

Unless the people of the world are not happy, they dare to speak out and use the power of the world to force the Son of Heaven to issue an edict against themselves, so as to inspire God to have mercy on the world!

Throughout history, there are not many kings who will force people to make an edict, and now Zhao Xuanchao said this meaning, what does this mean?

The two of them suddenly had a bad feeling in their hearts!

And the others kneeling behind the two of them, although their heads were resting on the floor tiles of the Wende Hall, they had another idea in their hearts.

If Zhao Xuanchao really issued an edict against himself, would their group of people also leave a mark in the history books?

The people who can make the emperor issue an edict against themselves are all loyal ministers and the like!

"The people of the world are like this, and I am burned inside! I'd rather blame all the blame be on me than the people of the world who would be so guilty! ”

Listening to what Zhao Xuanchao said, the others who knelt behind the left and right phases couldn't help but feel a little excited in their hearts.

Could it be that today is the day they will go down in history?

"Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty has not lost any of his virtues, so why should he blame himself? The Son of Heaven is an example for all the people in the world, if Your Majesty is like this, isn't it true that all the people in the world are like animals? Wei Zhengming suddenly raised his head and admonished.

He suddenly understood why Zhao Xuanchao did this!

In the hearts of readers, anyone has the idea of restraining the emperor, even once, it is enough to make people satisfied!

And as long as you do it once, you can have a sense of pride in ruling the world with the Son of Heaven!

Now that disasters are everywhere, the imperial court has no good plan, and Your Majesty is afraid that he has seen the results in the future, so he will attack in advance!

Forced to make an edict by a scholar like them, the world will only praise the scholar for his arrogance, not afraid of life and death, and daring to give direct advice! If the Son of Heaven takes the initiative to send down the edict of sin, it will be the uselessness of their group of scholars, thus demonstrating the love of the Son of Heaven!

If the locust plague cannot be solved, I am afraid that it will have to be done!

But today's events, there will definitely be a living man who will record it truthfully, and if they really fulfill Your Majesty now, and let Your Majesty send down the edict of sin, I am afraid that their group of people will be stinking for 10,000 years!

As soon as Wei Zhengming spoke, Lin Xiangru immediately understood what he meant, and he also echoed: "Your Majesty, the plan now is how to solve the locust plague, not Your Majesty, you attribute all the blame to yourself." ”

Zhao Xuanchao squinted slightly at the two of them, these two old foxes!

"If you have a good plan, why do I need to do this?"

Zhao Xuanchao's words immediately made Wei Zhengming and Lin Xiangru a little speechless.

The people who knelt behind the left and right phases finally understood a little after listening to the confrontation between the three of them.

They almost fulfilled Zhao Xuanchao, and they almost 'fulfilled' themselves.

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed again! Don't jump to conclusions! "Even if Zhao Xuanchao has said that they have nothing to say, Wei Zhengming still has to stop it.

When everyone heard this, they also persuaded in unison: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

"If the people of the world can suffer less calamities, what is my reputation?" Zhao Xuanchao said in a firm tone, there is a great spirit of sacrificing oneself for the sake of the people of the world.

Wei Zhengming and Lin Xiangru slandered in their hearts, if Zhao Xuanchao really gave himself an edict at this time, then the biggest sinners in the world are these people!

"Your Majesty, the founding of the Later Qin Dynasty was established for one hundred and seventy-three years, during which no matter whether it was war or disaster, the previous emperors of the past dynasties were never ashamed to feel that their virtues were at a loss, this is the spirit of the country, Your Majesty must not act like this!" Since Zhao Xuanchao could not be dissuaded, Lin Xiangru began to count the deeds of the previous emperors.

The emperors of all dynasties have never given themselves an edict of guilt, and if Your Majesty gives himself an edict of guilt at this time, it will be a shame to the ancestors and ancestors!

Zhao Xuanchao was angry in his heart!

Lin Xiangru, the old horseman, what he said is really better than singing!

If the world is in turmoil, I am afraid they will be the first to rush over and 'ask' him to make an edict! Now he wants to take the initiative and throw the disaster on them, all of them are loyal and virtuous ministers!

Zhao Xuanchao didn't have any expression on his face, but he said in his mouth: "If there is another way, how can I be like this?" ”

Zhao Xuanchao threw the pot back again.

Wei Zhengming and Lin Xiangru felt that Zhao Xuanchao was relying on them, and they had to let them take the blame.

"Your Majesty, if you are allowed to open Chrysostom, the treasury will still be able to relieve many people!" Du Futai saw that the left and right phases were a little dumb, and immediately spoke up.

After all, he doesn't want this 'fame'!

Zhao Xuan's eyes narrowed, and there was a danger signal in his eyes.

"Du Shangshu, I listen to your tone, it seems that the days behind the court are over?"

"Panic! If Your Majesty pities the people of the three provinces and one state, the only way to do this is to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall! If the border is safe, such a loss can be replenished in two to three years! ”

Du Futai's answer inevitably pierced Zhao Xuanchao's lungs!

If you really pity the people of the three provinces and one state, then you have to take out the treasury money, if you don't feel sorry for the people, then don't pay attention!

As for whether the imperial court needs to spend money during the period of shortfall, or how much money needs to be spent, then we can only find another way!

Anyway, Du Futai has already done the affairs of the courtiers, as for how Zhao Xuanchao wants to do it and how to do it, that is Zhao Xuanchao's business!

This kick can be regarded as completely kicking the problem back to Zhao Xuanchao!

There is a faint murderous intent in Zhao Xuanchao's eyes, Du Futai doesn't seem to be...

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, see you!"

The sound outside the hall interrupted Zhao Xuanchao's train of thought.

He couldn't help but raise his eyes and look towards the door of the temple.
