Chapter 42: Who dares to touch the people of the East Palace
The eunuch Jinxi knew that the prince's departure from the palace could not be revealed under any circumstances.
But this group of people is stubbornly entangled, he can't let this group of people in today no matter what, and he must not let them catch the handle of His Royal Highness the Prince!
Seeing that Jinxi not only didn't let go, but even the tone of his voice was so arrogant.
Toro was silenced and muttered to himself.
Isn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already back?
Shang Shuling, who came with him, was not so easy to fool.
Last night, he had received definite news from Liu Zaifu, and yesterday morning the prince confronted the northwest camp outside Fencheng City.
If you want to seize the handle of the crown prince, today is the best time!
With a look in his eyes, Shang Shuling stepped forward to push aside the guards and break in.
"Father-in-law Jinxi, don't you know what to do!"
"This official has 100,000 anxious folds in his hands! At the beginning, the prince said that all the folds should be presented to him for review, but now the official wants to hand over the folds, and you are here to obstruct them. ”
"Is there no royal law in this world?"
"Be careful of the official and the saint, don't talk about you, even the prince will be punished together!"
Shang Shuling moved out of the martial emperor and threatened Jinxi.
Jinxi ignored it, still saluting respectfully, but his attitude was extremely tough.
"Lord Shang Shuling, you really know how to buckle the hat of the slave."
"The slave and maid are just eunuchs, and everything is at the mercy of the master."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is resting and not letting anyone disturb him, so the slave and maid have to guard this door for the prince."
Although he was calm on his face, Jin Xi was very apprehensive in his heart.
Two days ago, someone also came to see the prince, but he blocked them all.
After all, the crown prince is now an out-and-out tyrant in their eyes, and he does not dare to make a mistake.
But today, not only did everyone not retreat, but they also wanted to break in.
It's like knowing that the prince is not in the palace!
"Lord Shang Shuling, you can't help it even if you urge the slave, after all, the prince is resting now."
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Jing Xuezhen also tore off the mask of hypocrisy.
rushed forward and roared, "You are just a eunuch, don't be embarrassed!" ”
"Is the crown prince not in the palace? You'd better be honest! ”
The eunuch Jinxi still doesn't enter the oil and salt, if you want to trap him, no way!
He bowed, his appearance was pleasing to his eyes, and he replied to Jing Xuezhen, "Jing Dasi Nong, now that the treasury is empty of grain and grass, the first thing you should do as Dasi Nong is not to care about whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the palace, but to care about the issue of grain and grass first!" ”
Jingxue was so angry that his chest rose and fell violently.
"Okay, you little eunuch, you still dare to contradict me, the duty of this official can be used to put your beak with something that has no roots?"
actually stepped forward to "snap" and gave Jinxi a slap, the force was so great that Jinxi could hardly stand up.
The head was buzzing like a cloud.
"Come on, bring this dog slave down. Beat fifty boards! ”
"Yes!"
Several soldiers came forward to restrain him.
"This palace wants to see, which of you dares to touch the people of the East Palace!"
Everyone looked back, isn't the crown prince Li Yunxing behind?
Under his feet, Li Yunxing's treasure horse was stepped on, dressed in a four-clawed python robe, like a fake prince.
Li Yunxing's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he swept over Jing Xuezhen and General Hu Lang and others, making them feel cold all over their bodies, and subconsciously let go of Jinxi.
Jin Xi was even more overjoyed, and shouted in a pinched voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Yunxing didn't call them up, and he didn't pay attention to anyone.
After turning over and dismounting, handing the reins to the forbidden army, he stepped into the East Palace.
Jing Xuezhen raised his body and asked strongly, "Didn't Gonggong Jinxi say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is resting in the palace, why is he outside the palace now?" ”
Li Yunxing stopped and looked back, "When do you need to report to you about the itinerary of this palace?" ”
Suddenly, the atmosphere was about to freeze, and even the rising sun shone on his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Jing Xuezhen felt a chill on his spine, "Minister, don't dare." ”
"Huh, don't dare? I think you dare. ”
"In the case of reselling grain and grass from the state treasury, do you really think you can escape?"
"Minister......" Jingxue was really red-faced, and he didn't know how to refute it.
"Or do you think that with Liu Zhongqing's old thief to help you, you dare to trespass on the dormitory of the main palace?"
At this time, Li Yunxing's speech was no longer a simple question, and his ruthless look made Jingxue really feel like he was dying.
The murderous aura in his body was like a sword hanging above his neck, as if he wanted to take it off.
"Prince Mingjian! Minister...... The minister has no such intentions! ”
Li Yunxing flicked his sleeves and continued to walk forward, "Then the palace asks you, where did the 100,000 stone disaster relief food that has been distributed go?" ”
"Prince, that, that disaster relief food has naturally been distributed to the victims."
"Then according to your opinion, how long is 100,000 stone of disaster relief grain enough for the people of Jingzhou?"
"Eat? How long to eat? ”
How could Jing Xuezhen know how much food the people of Jingzhou could eat.
At the beginning, Si Nongqing dared to embezzle such a huge amount of treasury food, and Jing Xuezhen also made a lot of money in it.
If the prince asked him how much a stone of grain could be sold for, he would immediately reply that a stone of grain was worth 3,000 yuan before the disaster, but after the disaster, the price of grain was more than doubled.
But how much stone rice an ordinary family would eat, he never calculated.
"Can't answer? This is the great Si Nong of the Wu Dynasty? I don't even know how much stone grain the people of a state will eat. ”
"It's not that the minister doesn't know, it's just, it's just that he forgot it for a while, and when he goes back, he will immediately report the amount to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
I don't know how to deal with it, so I can only make up a clumsy excuse to deal with the past first.
But Li Yunxing wouldn't let him be fooled easily, he raised his foot and stepped on Jing Xuezhen's shoulder.
"Let this palace tell you that there are about 1.6 million people in Jingzhou who have suffered from floods, and one stone of grain is only enough for 40 people to eat for a day, and 1.6 million people need 40,000 stone of grain a day."
"You only allocated a mere 100,000 taels, but it was exhausted in two days."
"What will the people eat after that, whether they will cut the roots of the tree and gnaw the bark, or eat the blood and flesh of your great Si Nong?!"
Li Yunxing's roar echoed in the imperial city, and all the courtiers and officials fell to their knees.
They looked at Da Si Nong, who was trampled under his feet, his face full of pain but nowhere to vent.
His heart was full of fear, and the prince didn't know anything!
Jing Xuezhen has only one thought now, don't lose your life!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen...... We-Chen......"
"Minister? You also deserve the word minister?!"
"You don't even know if the 100,000 stone disaster relief food is enough for the disaster victims to eat, so you dare to ask Emperor Wu for credit?"
"Or do you already know that the 100,000 stones sent over are not food at all, they are things that you have mixed with mud sofas and mold, and you can't import them at all!"
"I just want to deceive the Martial Emperor and create the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous world?!"
