"Weichen has been prepared, please review it for Your Highness."

Wei Changjin sorted out the key scripts and put them on the Danqihu case through Gao Jin, the chief of the internal staff.

Yuan Zhi couldn't wait to flip through the previous notes, then raised his head and said to Gao Jin: "Quick, summon Lord Xu of the Privy Council to come over and discuss." ”

"Yes."

Gao Jin beckoned a little eunuch and asked him to hurry to the Privy Council.

With just a cup of tea, Xu Xinchun, the head of the Privy Council, entered the Qinzheng Palace.

"Wechen knocks on His Royal Highness the Prince."

"Excuse me, sit down."

Yuan Zhi closed the dozen or so notes that he had read, looked up at the two important courtiers under the Danqi, and said:

"Two Aiqing, what do you think about the current disasters and public conditions in various places?"

At this time, the waiter brought up the bird's nest lotus seed soup, which was supposed to be a snack.

At this hour, it's time for dinner.

But right now, who would dare to step forward and disturb the prince?

Yuan Zhi also felt that his stomach was empty, he glanced at the sky, and then said to the chamberlain:

"Give the first lord and the lord Zhan Shi, and bring a bowl of soup each."

Xu Xinchun and Wei Changjin hurriedly stood up and said in unison: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern." ”

Yuan Zhi nodded and smiled bitterly, "Sit down, let's talk while eating and chatting between our monarchs and ministers, and work out a countermeasure as soon as possible." ”

The first disaster facing the crown prince's prison country, Yuan Zhi is understandably anxious, but his idea of being in a hurry is definitely unrealistic.

Xu Xinchun and Wei Changjin have been officials for many years, and they know that the water is too deep here, how can they decide in a few words?

But in the face of the young prince who is worried about the country and the people, and is enthusiastic, no one dares to speak rashly and pour cold water.

"Yes."

“……”

During the exchange between the monarch and the minister, the chamberlain sent two bowls of bird's nest lotus seed soup, and the prince signaled to eat first and check his hunger.

After eating the soup and wiping his mouth and washing his hands, Yuan Zhi continued:

"In the past few years, there have been disasters every year, and the household finances must be tight, can the first zun come up with any good solutions?"

Xu Xinchun said in a low voice:

"Thanks to the blessings of His Highness and His Royal Highness, although natural disasters have continued every year in recent years, the whole country has made a truce to recuperate, greatly revitalized water conservancy, cultivated farmland, reclaimed the frontiers, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and military expenditures have been greatly reduced.

After hearing this, the prince couldn't help but smile and said:

"It's hard for Xu Aiqing, who is worthy of being the right attendant of the political hall, and has a deep understanding of the national situation and the internal affairs of the six ministries, so as to comfort the lonely heart."

Then, he changed his words, smiled and said in a deep voice:

"But this year, there have been several floods in the Yellow River and Huai River basins, and after an autumn harvest, there are almost no harvests in many places."

"In the east and west, there have been several months of drought, not a drop of rain, the land is dry, the rivers are cut off, and even people's drinking water has become a problem.

Xu Xinchun said:

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry too much about this, although the south is flooded and the east and west continue to be drought, the imperial court and the state capitals are still quite effective, and now the summer replanting has already been completed, and after autumn, although there is no bumper harvest, there is still a harvest."

"In the eastern and western regions, as long as a large amount of money is allocated in a timely manner, and the local officials are ordered to organize craftsmen, dig deep wells, and make up for the dead, it should be effective.

"As long as the household department allocates grain funds in a timely manner and provides relief to the prefectures, counties and counties that have been seriously affected by the disaster, everything can be done in an orderly manner, and by the end of the year, in the opinion of the ministers, everything will be fine."

Yuan Zhi nodded after hearing this, "It should be like this in terms of governance thinking, but the main thing is implementation, the lonely prison country has been in power for ten days, the cabinet and the six ministries, as well as the yamen of the state capitals, can they be timely and decisive in response to the sudden disaster?" ”

He is very self-aware.

Using natural and man-made disasters, this is another available weapon of Cao Qichang's old thief, used to attack the East Palace Prison State.

"Your Highness is very discerning, and he is really wise! At present, the biggest problem is the household department of Shangshu Province, as well as the specific implementation of the yamen of the state capitals, as far as Wei Chen knows, in the past few days, the cabinet and the officials of the six yamen, large and small, most of them have not contributed to the work, and they report to the yamen early in the morning, and in less than an hour, the yamen are empty. ”

Xu Xinchun saw that the prince had said everything about this, so he no longer concealed it and told the truth.

"This group of bastards is extremely hateful to use the suffering of the people of the world as a weapon." Yuan Zhiyi slapped the case and said loudly:

"The two Aiqing listen to the order, and the people's livelihood and disaster relief matters of the yamen of the state capital are under the full control of the Privy Council, and whoever dares to disobey the decree, no matter who it is, or what the background is, will be dismissed and investigated, and the specific will be assisted by the Zhan Shifu to review, without the approval of Lonely, and it can be stamped with the jade seal of the prison state."

"Yes!"

Xu Xinchun and Wei Changjin got up to receive the order, and walked out of the main hall of the Qinzheng Hall one after the other.

Both of them knew very well in their hearts that this was the prince's greatest delegation of power, and it was also a trust.

There is still a long way to go.

"Inherit the book of the household department, go to the East Palace to see the lonely."

“……”

On his own side, Yuan Zhi is ready to personally deal with the main members of the five-phase cabinet, and the focus is, of course, the six yamen.

He first summoned the Ministry of Households, which was the most important of the six ministries.

Half an hour later, Gu Xuanhui, the head of the household, was late.

When he came to the Qinzheng Hall of the East Palace, facing the crown prince of the prison country who was dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe, Gu Xuanhui was very arrogant and only bowed, and said in a deep voice:

"Chen Gu Xuanhui, see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Yuan Zhi looked at Gu Xuanhui indifferently, and from the beginning, he could see the micro-expressions on the other party's face.

Hehe, at first, I was worried that I wouldn't find anything wrong, but I never thought that he would send it to the door to provoke it openly, so you are welcome.

"Gu Xuanhui, as a courtier, you see a lonely person in the main hall of the Qinzheng Palace, and you should do the great courtesy of the monarch and the minister, why don't you kneel?" Yuan Zhi said solemnly.

Gu Xuanhui grinned and sneered, looking like he was dead.

I saw him say confidently:

"Returning to the crown prince, the ancestors discipline the rules, only when you see the emperor or queen mother, you can kneel down, for the crown prince, you only need to bow your hand."

It's purely a rhetoric.

"Presumptuous!"

Yuan Zhi slammed his hand on the tiger case angrily, the tiger's eyes widened, and he reprimanded angrily:

"Lone is the prince of the prison country, inspecting the government on behalf of the Son of Heaven, summoning the minister in the main hall of the East Palace, that is, if His Majesty the Emperor is there in person, you knock on the monarch and do not worship, it is really disobedient and disrespectful!"

The Qianniu guards around the main hall heard the crown prince's thunderbolt, and they all instinctively held their hands on the hilt of the knife and stared at Gu Xuanhui murderously.

As long as the prince made a gesture or a look, they immediately pounced on him and cut down this rebellious criminal.

Gu Xuanhui was really taken aback.

He never thought that not long after the crown prince was in charge of the country, he would directly use the imperial power to oppress people as soon as he came up, and he would not take him, the god of wealth, in his eyes at all.
