First Emperor

Chapter 42 Going to the Emperor's Temple to Petition

"The old minister asked the treasury to open a warehouse to relieve the victims of the disaster. The old minister was so terrified that he also thanked the Lord Long for the people in the south."

E Chongyu lay down in the main hall, weeping bitterly.

E Chongyu had no choice. Before he was promoted to the palace, he asked Yin Xin to see him. Yin Xin responded, but let him play the book in court.

Yin Xin wants to make use of it!

Floods in the south have a long history, and they have occurred frequently recently. The Wang Si is vast and turbulent, and E Chongyu is unable to resist.

Hearing this sad news, all the officials in the palace were saddened.

"Are you in this field?" Yin Xin stood up from the dragon chair abruptly, pacing back and forth with fierce eyes.

"Prime Minister, you open the treasury immediately."

"King Wucheng orders you to dispatch elite soldiers to quickly escort the relief food to the southern border to relieve the urgent needs of the disaster-stricken people in the southern border. Don't delay!"

Yin Xin hastily ordered Prime Minister Shang Rong and King Wucheng of Zhenguo that the people would be affected by the disaster. As the emperor of the dynasty, he should not be in a hurry.

"The minister leads the order!"

Prime Minister Shang Rong and Zhen Guo Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu didn't dare to hesitate, they stood up and took orders.

"The old minister kowtowed to thank God." E Chongyu kowtowed heavily.

"Ehou, you set off to return to the southern border immediately, and take command in person. Don't get rid of the flood as soon as possible, and save the people from the fire and water!"

Yin Xin did not force E Chongyu to stay in the palace.

"The old minister took the order, and he will definitely live up to the mighty grace of heaven." E Chongyu kowtowed again to thank him.

"If there is any accident, go eight hundred miles and rush to Chaoge, and use all the strength of the country to help it." Yin Xin added.

"The emperor's grace is mighty!" E Chongyu was flattered and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Beibohou Chonghouhu and Xibohou Jichang listened to the order, ordering you two to open the granaries in the west and north, and quickly dispatch them to the south. There must be no mistakes!"

"Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

Yin Xin turned to Chonghouhu and Jichang, and ordered again.

"The old minister will do it immediately." Chonghou Hu is loyal to Yin Xin, and he will hit wherever Yin Xin points.

Xibo Hou Jichang's face turned pale when he heard the words, he didn't expect Yin Xin to go around and trick him again.

This move really made Ji Chang angry, but he was powerless to fight back, so he could only let it go.

In the face of national calamity, personal feelings are not allowed.

Yin Xin stands on the commanding heights of morality, when the people are in trouble, the country must be saved.

If Xiqi doesn't open a granary for food relief, Ji Chang will surely lose his title as a virtuous prince of Xiqi, and will be cast aside by the people in the business world.

"The old minister takes orders."

Ji Chang looked at Yin Xin above the main hall, and a sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of his heart.

Yin Xin made this move, leaving him no choice at all.

"Marquis Chong and Marquis Ji, I wrote a handwritten letter from the two of you immediately, and opened a warehouse to adjust the grain. King Wu Cheng, you quickly send someone eight hundred miles to the two places without delay!"

Yin Xin repeated his old tricks.

Although Yin Xin believed that Ji Chang didn't dare play any tricks on this matter, but he might do something, how could Yin Xin let him succeed.

"The minister takes orders."

Chonghouhu, Jichang and Huang Feihu got up and took orders.

Compared to Chonghouhu and Huang Feihu, Ji Chang was drooping his head at this moment, unable to raise his spirits, he was used to it, and he didn't have much to say to refute.

One after another, they were plotted by Yin Xin, but there was nothing they could do. First it was an army of [-], and now it was food from the national treasury.

What will be next?
Ji Chang looked at Yin Xin with a trace of fear and horror in his eyes, full of vigilance.

"From now on, within half a month, the food and grass from Chaoge, Xi, and Bei must reach the southern border, and those who delay the time will be punished!"

Yin Xin glanced over Shang Rong, Huang Feihu, Ji Chang and Chonghouhu one by one, as if warning.

"Your servant will wait for death!" Shang Rong, Huang Feihu, Ji Chang, and Chonghouhu didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and fell on the ground.

They can clearly feel that if there is a mistake this time, there will be blood.

A smile appeared on the corner of Grand Master Wen's mouth, and he looked at Yin Xin with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Decisive to kill, superior in resourcefulness...

With such an iron fist method, none of the officials dare to make a sound!
"Since I ascended the throne, the southern border has suffered from floods, the people have no means of living, the people have been displaced, and I can't bear it. From now on, I will go to the emperor's temple, eat fast and recite blessings, pray for the blessings of the ancestors of Chengtang, and be blessed by all living beings, and save the victims of the disaster in the southern border. .”

Yin Xin stood on top of the main hall, sympathetic and pitiful, with tears in his eyes, and said calmly.

"Your Majesty can't!"

Hearing that the grand master hurried out of duty, he fell down in the main hall and yelled to stop him.

All the officials also knelt down on the ground.

"Your Majesty must not do it! The flood in the southern border is not the fault of your Majesty, it is all due to the crime of dereliction of duty of the veteran..."

Hearing this, E Chongyu, Marquis of Nanbo, turned pale with shock, and hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

If he is responsible, E Chongyu will bear the brunt of it. How can he let Yin Xin go to the emperor's temple to eat fast and recite blessings, which is inconsistent with emotion and reason.

"I have made up my mind! Don't say any more, gentlemen."

Yin Xin waved his sleeves, ignored the petitions of the officials, and Gan Gang was arbitrary.

"Gu enters the emperor's temple to petition on behalf of the people. All affairs in the court are judged by Wen Taishi on behalf of Gu. The prime minister Shang Rong and Zhen Guo Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu assist his left and right sides. All the ministers perform their duties and act according to the rules and cannot be overstepped."

Yin Xin didn't allow the officials to refute at all, and issued another will.

"This……"

Grand Master Wen, Prime Minister Shang Rong and Zhen Guo Wu Cheng Wang Huang Feihu were all a little confused, and they didn't know how to give advice.

"Everything is over, retreat!"

Yin Xinchao greeted the driver, and the driver immediately understood, and the ministers had not yet recovered, and announced that the court would disperse.

Yin Xin didn't wait for the officials to thank him, but turned and left through the side door.

Yin Xin left in a hurry, leaving only the officials in the hall. You look at me, I look at you, no one has any ideas.

"Teacher..." All the officials looked at Grand Master Wen, hoping that Grand Master Wen would come forward to stop Yin Xin from doing this.

"It's all gone!"

Wen Taishi couldn't help but sigh bitterly.

What he, the Minister of Tuogu, failed a bit!
Compared with the previous kings, the new king is too unconventional!
He can't keep up with it!
Yin Xin did not communicate with Grand Master Wen about this matter, which really caught him off guard.

It's not that Yin Xin is out of breath, so the matter is very involved. The Dongyi war is about to break out. Yin Xin must go to Dongyi with Kong Xuan, and get rid of the ancient witch clan lurking behind the Dongyi clan before the war.

If Grand Master Wen is informed, he will definitely obstruct it again and again.

You might even want to go with me!

It can be heard that the grand master cannot leave the capital. Firstly, Chaoge needs to hear that the grand master is sitting in the town, and secondly, the identity of Kong Xuan cannot be revealed for the time being.

And he has other plans.

The battle of Dongyi involved a lot. Just as he said to Grand Master Wen before, since Donglu and Xiqi's forces have been assembled on all fronts, the internal and external troubles must first be used up. Be a fisherman, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Of course, the premise is that he has to fuel the flames before he can succeed.

Just like that, he had to go to Dongyi himself.

As for safety, it doesn't matter if Kong Xuan is with you.

Then he had to find a reason to prevaricate the officials, but the flood in the southern border, although this excuse is clumsy, it can still be used.

As for other negative causes and effects, Yin Xin believes that Grand Master Wen will take care of them.
