"Minister, Hubu Shangshu, Qin Xiangru has to play!"

Qin Xiangru was kicked out of the team by Yan Song, and after getting up from the ground, he first felt a fold from his arms and held it high above his head, and then said:

"Minister, I just returned to the capital from Qingyuan County yesterday, and I drafted an excerpt of the details of the disaster relief overnight, and I also asked Your Majesty and the princes of the court to take a look at it."

Emperor Yongxing waved his hand, and his own little eunuch bowed down quickly, took Qin Xiangru's fold and hurried back.

Emperor Yongxing looked at the excerpt and listened to Qin Xiangru's report:

"Your Majesty, the snow disaster last year, all the surrounding counties and towns in the capital were not spared, after the disaster, according to the household statistics, the affected people were as high as 321,482 people, the affected households were as high as 129,000 households, and the direct property damage was as high as ......."

Listening to these astronomical figures, Emperor Yongxing felt sad.

These were his subjects.

Emperor Yongxing looked at the numbers on the fold, deeply powerless.

Seeing the end, he stubbornly asked, "Qin Shangshu, how many people died in this snow disaster?" ”

The fold does not directly state the exact number of deaths.

Emperor Yongxing thought that it should be Qin Xiangru who was afraid of being punished, so he deliberately did not write.

At the same time, he also knows that this number of words is only a lot more, when he was still the prince, he temporarily acted as the state government for a period of time, and the locust plague three years ago is still vividly remembered, Henan and Hebei are two provinces, there are countless hungry people, and the death toll accounts for more than seventy percent of the affected residents.

Although the snow plague is not as severe as the locust plague, the proportion should be like 50%, which means that at least 100,000 people have died.

That's 100,000 lives!

Because of a heavy snowstorm, they all died!

Qin Xiangru took half a step forward, full of pride, and said loudly:

"Back to Your Majesty, the final death toll in this heavy snowstorm is 13,012."

“…… Well? ”

After being stunned for a while, Emperor Yongxing suddenly raised his head, looked at Qin Xiangru in the center of the Golden Palace, and couldn't help but stand up from the dragon chair, "How much do you say?" More than 10,000 people? Just over 10,000 people? ”

"Exactly!"

Qin Xiangru was very happy, because the death toll was not so many, and in previous years, hundreds of thousands of people were reduced to bones.

But this time, just over 10,000 people died.

At the same time, he is also saddened that if the cash-for-work program had been implemented earlier, he said that if it had been implemented as early as the beginning of the catastrophe, the number of words would have dropped sharply.

"Qin Shangshu, what crime should you be guilty of!"

Suddenly, there was a sudden angry shout from the Golden Palace.

The person who came was Wang Shibin, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, who was holding back the fire in his belly, holding a jade wat in his hand, turned sideways, and pointed at Qin Xiangru and said angrily.

Qin Xiangru frowned, puzzled.

Wang Shibin bowed his head and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please treat Qin Xiangru for the crime of concealing and bullying the king!" ”

Emperor Yongxing had already sat down again, recovering from the shock just now, and before Emperor Yongxing could speak, Qin Xiangru spoke first.

Qin Xiangru held his big belly and glared at Wang Shibin angrily, "What do you mean?" ”

"What do I mean? That's what I mean. Wang Shibin still maintained a posture of hanging his head, just glared coldly at Qin Xiangru beside him, and said: "Qin Shangshu is the head of the household department, the head of the six departments, and the official of the second grade of the imperial court, how can he still do such a thing to deceive the monarch?" ”

"Deceitful? Speak to me clearly. ”

Qin Xiangru was really angry.

Wang Shibin sneered, looked at Emperor Yongxing on the dragon chair, and said, "Your Majesty, please cure Qin Xiangru for the crime of bullying the king!" Since ancient times, all kinds of disasters, whether it is drought or flooding, or locust plague, are the chronic diseases that I can't get rid of, the heavy snowfall of the past few years is rare in a hundred years, the houses outside the city have fallen, collapsed, and the houses that have been crushed are more than 10,000, not to mention the number of people who died? ”

"Qin Xiangru lies about the death toll, which is the crime of bullying the king!"

What Wang Shibin said was reasonable, and the ministers below began to riot, and they whispered to each other.

"yes, how can a little more than 10,000 people die?"

"In previous years, there were several major disasters, and more than 60 percent of the people affected by the disasters died, without exception. How come there are only more than 10,000 people this time, and not even half of them? ”

"It's really a hard lie!"

Hearing these words into his ears, Qin Xiangru only felt great irony.

A wave of anger burned in his chest, almost drowning him.

Qin Xiangru strode forward and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, everything the minister said is true, and there is no lie!"

Emperor Yongxing was about to speak, but he was preempted again, and Wang Shibin, a professional troll, stretched out his hand and said:

"What about the evidence?"

"Where's the proof?"

"Without evidence, why should Your Majesty believe you? Why do the princes of the court believe you? ”

"Why don't you believe me? If there are more or fewer dead people, what good will it do to the royal history? Now that there are fewer deaths, Wang Yushi is so dissatisfied? Do you have to die to be satisfied? ”

Qin Xiangru is the first general of the army.

Wang Shibin said angrily: "Qin Xiangru, you spew people with blood!" ”

"I'm squirting blood? What a joke. ”

When it comes to lip service, Qin Xiangru is not inferior to Wang Shibin, the imperial historian who was born in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he Qin Xiangru is the secretary of the household department, in charge of the country's money and grain, every year there are countless institutions reaching out to him to ask for money, and at the end of the year, the threshold of the household department is about to be trampled on, if Qin Xiangru has no ability, he really can't cope with it.

The two of them can be regarded as chess opponents!

Qin Xiangru said: "Back to Your Majesty, what the minister said is true, and there is no deception." If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send people close to you out of the city to check and ask those people, whether it is Qingshan County, which is the most severely affected, or other places, you can go and take a look, and see if the ministers are blocking hundreds of thousands of mouths? ”

"More than 10,000 people lost their lives, and the minister was already heartbroken, because the minister could have made this number smaller, and the number of dead people was even less, and the minister was guilty!"

After speaking, Qin Xiangru knelt down and kowtowed.

Emperor Yongxing frowned, watching Qin Xiangru kneel and kowtow like this, the floor was slammed, this fat man is really?

Emperor Yongxing looked at the other officials again.

Some of the corners of those officials' mouths rose slightly, as if they were happy. So many people died, and they were so happy? Or did Qin Xiangru commit the crime of defrauding the monarch and would be held accountable and questioned afterwards, and they were happy?

Some officials frowned slightly, pursed their lips, and the word "suspicion" was engraved on their heads, too, more than 10,000 people died, too little, they didn't believe what Qin Xiangru said, they were doubting Qin Xiangru.

Others are talking in a whisper, what exactly they are talking about, Emperor Yongxing can't hear it clearly and doesn't know, but he can probably guess what they will say, it's nothing more than those possibilities...... The big drama has finally begun, and there is a good show to watch. What crime will Qin Xiangru be punished for bullying the king? Will the treacherous Chen Dynasty be implicated? Or are they wondering how much they have lost their possessions outside the city?

Hehe.

This is Daji's courtier, my courtier!

No one really cares about the snow disaster outside the city, and no one really cares about the people outside the city?

It seems that in their eyes, the snow disaster does not exist at all, and all they care about is what is in front of them. Party strife? Dog eats dog? Authority? Benefit?

It's ridiculous!
