In the emperor's harem, it rained continuously for half a month. Emperor Xuan was holding a royal banquet with the Queen Mother and the harem beauties at this time.

Emperor Xuan has been a great treasure for thirteen years, and he is usually busy with state affairs. It is rare to have a family meal together, and the mood is very happy at this time.

Emperor Xuan had seventeen sons, of which the eldest son Liu Xiu was twenty-two years old, and the second son Liu Xian was also twenty years old. The two princes secretly fought for the throne.

And Emperor Xuan acquiesced to Liu Xiu and Liu Xian's fights, as long as they did not exceed the circles he had drawn. On weekdays, Emperor Xuan favored and loved his fifteenth son Liu Yan, and often summoned him to the front.

Emperor Xuan only grasped the power of the DPRK and China in recent years, and the Emperor Liu Zhe, although he abdicated, controlled the army and the cabinet of the DPRK and China a few years ago.

Emperor Xuan also worked a lot hard, and only now did he master more than half of the forces, and he has only relaxed a lot in recent years.

The battle between the emperor's eldest son Liu Xiu and the emperor's second son Liu Xian did not dare to fight too much, and most of them fought in secret. Befriending ministers is done carefully and secretly.

Taking advantage of today's family banquet, the two princes also wanted to perform and strive to add points in Emperor Xuan's heart.

Emperor Xuan didn't see the small actions of his two sons. The rest of the princes. Carefully, quietly using the food, and not daring to make a sound, unless Emperor Xuan asks by name, he will get up and reply.

Emperor Xuan was sipping wine and enjoying the dancing of courtesans, when an attendant outside hurriedly walked in.

Emperor Xuan glanced at it, frowned, and secretly said in his heart, something happened again, which disturbed his rare good mood.

Zhang Dayong, the personal eunuch, saw Emperor Xuan frowning, knowing that it was not good, it had ruined the emperor's good mood, so he hurriedly called the chamberlain over and said, "Go and see, what's going on!" disturbed the emperor's good interest, and there was his good fruit to eat. ”

The waiter hurriedly responded and walked towards the panicked little waiter.

Zhang Dayong took a look, and secretly screamed that it was not good, only to see the panicked little waiter handing a fold to the waiter.

The excerpt is not played in the early dynasty, and something big must have happened at this time.

Emperor Xuan also looked over and secretly shouted bad luck! At this time, it is not good to hand over the fold, and there is no interest in Gao Le for the time being.

Zhang Dayong took the fold, raised his hands and respectfully handed it to Emperor Xuan.

Although Emperor Xuan was unhappy in his heart, he had no choice but to take it. When I opened it, I saw that it had rained for more than half a year and caused flooding, and now Kyoto is very badly damaged.

Xuan Chao waved his hand and asked Zhang Dayong to send the cabinet ministers into the palace to discuss.

The concubines, the prince knew that something big had happened, and he knew that the current family banquet could not go on, so he could only do it hastily and leave with their own parties.

The floods were severe, with more than two million people affected. With so many disaster victims, if the guidance is not good, there will be big trouble.

The head of the household department is still in the book, asking for the allocation of 5 million taels of silver for disaster relief.

This is the punishment of heaven in the imperial history, and the emperor must be declared guilty to calm the people's hearts.

The head of the household department asked for 5 million taels of silver for disaster relief, but the treasury was empty, and there was no silver for disaster relief. The ministers of the DPRK and China began to fight each other, but they did not go to find a way to provide disaster relief.

When Emperor Xuan heard that he was going to commit a crime, Emperor Xuan was so angry that he retreated and walked away.

Jia Zheng was transferred to Jiangnan as an official for three years, and now he has been transferred back to the Ministry of Industry in Kyoto and promoted to the rank of Wailang.

When Jia Zheng heard the news, he knew that the treasury was empty and he was unable to provide disaster relief. This time, these nobles may be bleeding again. Hurriedly asked the housekeeper to go to Xixi Courtyard and called Jia Huan over to discuss.

When Jia Huan came to Jia Zheng's study, Jia Zheng was already sitting there waiting.

Jia Zheng saw Jia Huan coming, and motioned for Jia Huan to sit down on one side. said: "Now is an eventful time, there are alien races disturbing the borders, and there are floods inside. State affairs are difficult, and the treasury is empty. You must have been clear about the matter, tell me what you think. ”

"This flood will require at least 5 million taels, and the border is unstable, it is really a big pit, 10 million taels is a small amount, this is a big pit." Jia Huan sat down and took a sip of tea before he said slowly.

Jia Zheng sighed, and knew in his heart that Emperor Xuan was because of the four major families of Xun Gui, Jia Wang, Shi Xue. only obeyed the orders of the Emperor Liu Zhe and did not approach the emperor, and Emperor Xuan was already dissatisfied.

Jia Huan was also very helpless, the four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue only obeyed the orders of the Emperor Liu Zhe, curryed favor with the Emperor, and did not take the emperor's orders in his eyes. This also laid the foundation for the later raid of the Jia family.

"I can't do anything now, I can only wait for news. See how things develop and then make a decision, otherwise you will do more wrong! Jia Huan said directly.

Jia Zheng also knew that the four major families had offended the emperor too hard, and it was too difficult to redeem it now.

The four major families of Jia Wang Shi Xue are now the meat on the board, just look at when Emperor Xuan wants to cut the meat.

Jia Huan has no good way now, so he can only see the trick and dismantle it.

At this time, Steward Liu sent news that Emperor Xuan transferred one million taels from the inner treasury to relieve the disaster. Another two million taels were transferred from the inner library to the Liaodong border to fight against aliens.

Emperor Xuan had several fires at the moment because of the lack of silver, and his inner treasury was about to be emptied. said to Zhang Dayong: "You, over there in Dongchang, what evidence of the minister's embezzlement of silver and silver, you go to find it, and there must be evidence." ”

When Liu Dayong heard Emperor Xuan say this, he knew in his heart that the emperor was short of silver, and he wanted to raid his house to make money.

Liu Dayong is very clear about Emperor Xuan's temperament, and he wants to raid his house as soon as he lacks money. Those corrupt officials are the fat pigs raised by Emperor Xuan, and when they want to slaughter them depends on their mood. Like leeks, cut stubble after stubble. I can't help but sigh in my heart, some people are going to be unlucky again.

Liu Dayong said respectfully: "Yes, the old slave will go to the East Factory to investigate, and then come back to report." ”

Emperor Xuan waved his hand and told Liu Dayong to step back.

Emperor Xuan was diligent in government affairs, and he also stumbled over the years, barely maintaining the operation of the court. After so many years, the treasury is still empty, and it often has to use its own inner treasury to maintain it.

Jia Huan returned to Xixi Courtyard and went directly to the study. Called Caixia for a cup of tea, let her out, don't let people come in and disturb, and think about something by yourself.

There is only one reason why the Jia family finally fell to the point of being raided, that is, the ruler specifically targeted the suppression, that is, it offended the top-level ruler - the royal family.

The Jia family belongs to the camp of the Four Kings and Eight Princes, with a huge network of influence, and after years of accumulation of favors, the relationship is complicated.

From the old concubine, King Beijing, and Jia Yuanchun to take care of each other, there are relatives and friends such as the four major families who take care of each other. Only a level like the royal family can shake its status and uproot the Jia family.

The Jia family and the King of Beijing have always been warm, and the relationship between the King of Zhongshun and the King of Beijing is antagonistic, which is one of them.

The second, and most important, is that the four major families of King Jia and Shi Xue only obey the orders of the Emperor Liu Zhe and curry favor with the Emperor. After Emperor Xuan ascended the throne, the four major families only cared about currying favor with the Emperor Taishang and treating the emperor as nothing. This also laid the foundation for the later raid of the Jia family.

The third is that Jiafu died by itself, and Rongning and Ningfu have too many bullshit things. stood in the wrong team, stood in line with the king of Beijing, so that his house was raided, and no one stood up to speak for him.

Jia Huan also knew that at least at this moment, Emperor Xuan didn't want to slaughter the fat pig of Jiafu. Only

See how things develop and see how things develop, and there is no other good way.
