28 Bashu Drought 1 (2nd Watch)
"What? is there such a thing?" Emperor Ao Zheng was very shocked, since he ascended the throne to the present, more than thirty years, the Tianlong Kingdom has never found a situation of eating grass roots and bark to satisfy the stomach, eating Guanyin to satisfy hunger, or eating Yizi, this is incredible.
"Back to the emperor, the eldest prince was afraid that the situation in Bashu would be known by the emperor, so he hid it and did not report it. Not only did he not report it, but he closed down the cities in Bashu that had drought, and sent troops to garrison them at the city gates. As a result, few people have been able to escape in the past few months. "Zhang Yushi swears, as a royal history, he is very stable and calm on weekdays, but today he is rarely angry.
"Zhang Yushi, since there are very few disaster victims who can escape, how can you know that you are in Tianjing City? Moreover, if there is a drought in the Bashu area, even if there are disaster victims, it is a normal thing. Now you have put this basin on the head of the eldest prince, how can you, with red mouth and white teeth, say such irresponsible words, what are your intentions?" Before Emperor Ao Zheng could speak, Bachelor Zhao of the Baoda Prince faction couldn't wait to take the lead under the signal of Prime Minister Ouyang.
"Although Xia Guan has not seen it with his own eyes, most of his colleagues know that Xia Guan's hometown is in Rongcheng in Bashu, and the nephew of his hometown came to join me a while ago, and the nephew was no longer in human form when he found Xia Guan. When the lower officials heard about this, they couldn't believe it, didn't dare to make a noise, and quietly sent a powerful henchman to Bashu to investigate the matter. When Zhang Yushi said this, he stopped and looked at Bachelor Zhao angrily, blowing his beard and glaring at him.
"Then, I can't say it, you're slandering the eldest prince at all. Your Majesty, this person simply made something out of nothing, and asked the emperor to decide. "Bachelor Zhao saw that Zhang Yushi said, 'I sent a henchman to investigate this matter', so I won't go on here, thinking that Zhang Yushi is at fault. In fact, he is not the real core person of the Baoda Prince faction, he naturally doesn't know about this matter, and he thinks that his eldest prince is not such a person at all, so he does not follow the way.
"Zhang Aiqing, what do you have to say?" Emperor Aozheng straightened up, took a deep look at Zhang Yushi, and said leisurely.
"Back to the emperor, the ministers never dared to be alarmist and deceive the emperor. What Fang Cai Weichen said is true, and there is absolutely no half-truth. It only took half a month for my henchman to rush back from Bashu. He said...... He said that Rongcheng, Shenli County, Tsing Yi County, Mianzhou and other places in Bashu are now hell on earth, and they are miserable. This person has a good hand, if he didn't go in person, Weichen would never have believed that the people in the Bashu region are living in dire straits, and he asked the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible. Zhang Yushi bowed down to the Aozheng Emperor above the main hall, his voice was low and hoarse, and his face had long since lost its usual calmness, and there was only boundless anger and pain.
"Zhang Aiqing, do you know that this matter is very important, you can't talk about it, do you have evidence?"
In fact, at first glance, although he remains calm on the surface, his heart is already turning the river and the sea. How could he not be shocked, eating trees and turf, eating Guanyin soil, and eating Yizi, he simply had never heard of it.
From his accession to the throne to the present, under his rule, I dare not say that all the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing, but at least most of the people can achieve food and clothing.
He was once proud of this, but now, when he heard that the people were living so desolate that they had not even eaten, he was deeply saddened and anxious.
