In fact, this is not the first time, since Emperor Jing left Beijing, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has almost no time to discuss with the ministers, even if they are together, it is Zhang Yuan who controls the entire rhythm.

This was only one of several times, and many ministers could not do anything even if they were dissatisfied.

The ministers knew that they were afraid that they would not be able to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, so they walked and scattered.

There is also a part of it, which is on top of this hall, and if you can't see Your Highness, you won't leave.

However, Zhang Yuan ignored them, and seeing that most of the officials were almost gone, he also left.

The officials who remained in the main hall looked at each other.

After waiting for a long time, no one paid attention to them, and they left one after another.

In the Yongqian Palace, the prince was lying on the bookcase, watching the twists and turns that flew in like snowflakes.

It's just that these are basically screened by Zhang Yuan, and those that reflect the mistakes in decision-making are not allowed to be sent in.

Zhang Yuan walked in and saluted, "Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

When Li Ming saw it, he hurriedly got up and helped Zhang Yuan up, and said, "Uncle, there are no outsiders here, so why be polite." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, and the prince asked.

"Uncle, who do you think is the most appropriate person to send to the floods in Hebei?"

I don't know who to send, and even if I do, I can't say, and if something goes wrong at that time, I won't be responsible.

Zhang Yuan, the old fox, said after thinking about it.

"Floods in Hebei often occur, although the disaster is not as serious as before, but there are many people affected. It is better for this person to understand the local situation, and such a large amount of disaster relief money must be an honest and honest person. The most important thing is that the officials below will not be able to fill their pockets, and that person will be able to hold on. ”

Zhang Yuan gave the prince an analysis, and almost said the name of the candidate.

As a result, the prince said a military general, "General Zhenyuan, Chu Hesheng, is an upright person, born in Hebei, and it is most appropriate to appoint him as a Xuanfu envoy to go to Hebei for disaster relief." ”

Zhang Yuan almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea, I'll analyze it with you for a long time, and then you will send a general! Even if you want to send a general, you can also send a flexible brain! That Chu Hesheng, a tendon, knows how to fight, and if the three sentences don't agree, he will start to do it, and if he doesn't get good relief from the disaster, he also offended a large number of people. But anyway, I also said my own suggestion, the prince insisted on choosing Chu Hesheng, in case the blind cat ran into a dead mouse!

Li Ming didn't notice Zhang Yuan's micro-expression, and thought that he had chosen this person very well, so he continued.

"That's right! This Chu Hesheng is a military general, and he will definitely be able to suppress those who are not right-minded. At that time, it will not be a problem to move and distribute materials. ”

Saying that, Li Ming was also excited, as if it was the first time he had come up with an idea that he thought was good.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise, this Chu Hesheng is indeed a good candidate." Zhang Yuan said.

Li Ming immediately called someone to convey this decision, and at this time, Chu Hesheng was training in the martial arts field, and he was very overwhelmed by this sudden appointment.

But this Chu Hesheng is also a simple-minded person, and after reacting, he felt that this was His Royal Highness the Prince's trust in him, and he had to do this thing beautifully, without considering whether he had the ability at all.

The ministers learned that the prince had been thinking about it for so long, and finally sent a military general to relieve the disaster, some of them dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and some of them were angry and wanted to go to the prince to theorize, but as expected, they were all intercepted by Zhang Yuan, and some of them were in the same camp as Zhang Yuan, just coax the prince well, and don't care about anything else.

In the end, Chu Hesheng still embarked on a disaster relief journey, although he was born in Hebei but has been in the capital all the year round, in fact, he has no understanding of the local situation at all.

At first, it was very good, but it quickly went wrong.

Because the style of action is too militarized, the local officials, down to the common people, are full of complaints.

There have been countless twists and turns in the impeachment of Chu Hesheng, the key disaster situation has not been alleviated, and the post-disaster pacification work is also a mess.

Chu Hesheng was also in a state of bewilderment, admitting that he felt that there was no problem with what he had done, so he also offended many people.

The local officials who wanted to reap the benefits did not reap the benefits, so they naturally did not want to see him, and those officials who were dedicated to the people were dissatisfied with him because the measures taken by Chu Hesheng for disaster relief were not close to reality.

provoked the court and local officials, who were heartbroken and wanted to resign, but unfortunately their sincere prince never saw it.

They were all stopped outside the Yongqian Palace by Zhang Yuan, and the officials were miserable.

I want to go directly to Emperor Jing, but not many people know about Li Jing's trip.

Those officials who went to find Li Jing were repeatedly turned away, and the prince could not see anyone, and there was always no reply to the report for a long time, or to reply to some content that had no substantive measures.

For a time, the people of the entire DPRK and China were panicked, and the people of Hebei were full of resentment.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't know all this, and Zhang Yuan and others kept this matter a secret.

is also immersed in his own wise decision, and in this case, the forces of all parties are moved.

First of all, some ministers in the court began to consider whether to advise on the abolition of the crown prince.

Zhang Yuan also felt that this matter may not be easy to pass, in order to keep his own position, he went to Hebei without telling the prince, and gave Chu He an idea, wanting to remedy the disaster relief.

While appeasing the ministers who were in high spirits, but for what the prince did before, Zhang Yuan's appeasement this time was a drop in the bucket.

In the end, it was the prince's mother, and the queen mother came forward to calm some of the grievances.

It's just that on the surface and amicably it has passed, but in private there are still many complaints about the prince.

This apparent peace completely collapsed the moment Chu Hesheng fled back from Hebei.

It turned out that the people sent by Zhang Yuan to Hebei did not really go to organize disaster relief and comfort the victims.

It's about making some connections.

He deliberately distributed the pension and materials unevenly, so many people rose up.

Zhang Yuan directly arrested them as mobs, if it weren't for Chu Hesheng's strong martial arts and desperate escape to Chang'an, the ministers would probably have believed the good news from Hebei before.

And all the money saved went into the pockets of local black-hearted officials, which is why there is frequent good news from Hebei.

Zhang Yuan knew that he couldn't hide this matter, so he found a reason for the prince to call himself sick and not see the ministers.

However, after Liang Xiang's party learned the news at this time, they no longer had any hope for the prince, and vowed to tell Emperor Jing about Zhang Yuan and the prince's actions.
