Chapter 170: Speechless

In any case, Liu Renci was a feudal official, a member of the three ranks, and one of the leading figures of the Qingliu line, and he had always been neutral with the officials of his faction, neither leaning towards the regent nor the emperor.

Now that he has returned to Beijing to report on his work, today is the first time to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting, even if he knows that he helped Qin Shuhuang with disaster relief, he may say good things to Qin Shuhuang, at this time, he can't help but give Liu Renci face and don't let him go out to speak.

The regent squeezed out a trace of warmth, warm as a spring breeze, "Lord Liu has worked hard in a remote area this time, if there is any play, please speak." ”

Liu Renci's lean face did not have a gentle look at all, he pursed his lips, arched his hand towards the emperor and the regent, and said awe-inspiringly: "Your Majesty, the regent, Weichen's return to Beijing to report on his work this time coincided with the flood in the suburbs of Beijing, at that time, the flood had started for a few days, and the people were displaced, why was there no one to rescue?" ”

Hubu Shangshu originally had a calm face, but when he heard Liu Renci ask, he suddenly "snorted" and came out of the ranks.

"Lord Liu doesn't have a backache when he stands and talks, the people are all my Dawu people, they are affected, won't we feel distressed? The reason why the disaster was not rescued in time was not because it was forced to do so, and the treasury was empty! If Lord Liu has the ability of Tao Zhu Gong, then I, Du, am willing to give up the position of the head of the household department to Lord Liu. The treasury has silver, and Lord Liu can save whoever he wants! ”

As soon as Du Haomiao, the head of the household, said this, there was a "buzz" in the court, and many people nodded.

Yes, if there is extra money in the treasury of Dawu, who wants to see the people suffer!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Du Haomiao stood back proudly.

Liu Renci listened to Du Haomiao's words, but his face did not change a little, he raised his voice slightly, "Is my Dawu treasury so empty that the soldiers in the surrounding military camps and the errands of the yamen can't afford to pay their salaries!" Why is it that all I saw along the way, only the people saved themselves? But there is no government army to fight against disasters? ”

Du Shangshu and the others, who had already hardened up, were speechless when asked by Liu Renci's words.

Disaster relief materials cost money, but the soldiers stationed in the surrounding areas have received salaries, and when the country is not at war, these soldiers are not used for disaster relief and when will they be used?

Yamen everywhere is even more!

When the regent heard this, his face turned gloomy, and his eyes narrowed slightly and stared at Liu Renci.

The stinky stones in this pit couldn't have been bought by a princess of Qin Shuhuang, right?

The Qing officials, who were originally dissatisfied with the imperial court's practice of not caring about the lives of the people, stood up one after another and echoed Liu Renci's words with the encouragement of Liu Renci's words.

The officials of the Regent's party fell silent.

They actually sympathized with the people, but wasn't that all the regent's orders! What can they do!

Standing up at this time of indignation, he will immediately become the target of public criticism, where is anyone who dares to speak, even Du Shangshu, who just spoke, lowered his head and pretended to be a turtle with a shrunken head, wanting to reduce his sense of existence.

Qin Shuhuang, who was standing among the children of the royal family, glanced at the regent, not knowing whether the gift she prepared for a while, whether she, the imperial uncle, liked it or not.

No one dared to refute Liu Renci's words.

He looked around and continued: "If no one of you speaks, then I, Liu, will acquiesce that everyone agrees with me." Since everyone thinks that the departments involved are vegetarian, Wechen also asked the emperor and the regent to severely punish the officials and departments involved! Only then will this not happen next time! In order to let the people of Dawu live and work in peace and contentment, and the Dawu court is thriving! ”
