The pear blossoms fall to the stars

Chapter 85 Imperial Supplies
In the Imperial Palace of Yucheng, an urgent letter was presented to the court.

"Absurd, simply absurd!" After Zi Zechuan saw it, his brows were slightly angry, and he threw the letter on the ground.

The people under the court did not know why, and they were all silent.

Cheng Yushi, who was closer to Zi Zechuan, hurried forward to pick up the letter.After reading it, he frowned slightly.

Gu Yanqing knew that the messenger belonged to the second prince, so he quickly stood up and asked, "Cheng Yushi, what is the second prince's letter about?"

Cheng Ji took the letter and handed it to Gu Yanqing, motioning him to read it for himself.

Gu Yanqing looked at it and said: "Your Majesty, it is really a happy event for the country to present the censor to solve the two natural disasters of drought and flood, so why worry?"

Suddenly there was an uproar in the court.

"According to the itinerary, the second prince arrived in Hanshui within a few days to solve the natural disaster? Could it be that he told God to stop the rain when it stops raining, and it will rain when it rains?" Lei Shi said angrily.

"What the second prince said is simply absurd." As long as it was an matter in the court, Yu Chehuai would participate in it.

How could Gu Yanqing let him disturb the court, and hurriedly said: "My majesty, the second prince has never said anything absurd, not to mention that the second prince mentioned in his letter that this disaster relief was not done by him alone..."

"It's not just one person? Could it be that Prime Minister Gu is referring to that woman, Li Hualuo?" Yu Che preempted him to speak sarcastically.

"It's this person!" Gu Yanqing agreed without showing any weakness.

Unexpectedly, Yu Che snorted coldly: "A woman, can she really be able to change natural disasters? It's ridiculous!"

Gu Yanqing ignored their cynicism, and went on to play: "Your Majesty, in the second prince's letter, it was mentioned in the past years that the government was corrupt and the disaster relief was not enough, but now the second prince's promise is absolutely not false! Please also open the warehouse supply!"

"What Gu Aiqing said is not unreasonable, but if the natural disasters in the Hanshui area cannot be resolved, I am afraid that no amount of supplies will help." On the surface, Zi Zechuan said it with good words, but in fact he has no heart for the people in the Hanshui area. .For this disaster relief, it was Zi Lixuan who asked for his life alone.

"Your Majesty, this letter mentions that the drought and flood can be solved with [-]% certainty, but now Hanshui is short of supplies, and we urgently need supplies from our court, so that the drought and flood can be better resolved. What's more, what is said in the letter He said that the tax revenue will be tripled in the coming year, which is not a small number." Gu Yanqing moved out the last item in the letter, although he thought that this item was even less realistic, but facing the integrity of Zi Lixuan and Li Hualuo, , he completely trusted.

"Twice? Prime Minister Gu doesn't know, because of the frequent natural disasters in recent years. In the past years, they have followed the people's tax collection and their Hanshui border land has repeatedly appealed for no food. How can you take your double tax seriously?" Lei Shi was in the court hall The above style is also full of sharpness.

At present, many ministers have seconded the proposal.

Prime Minister Gu couldn't reach all directions by himself, and was about to collapse, but one of the courtiers stood up.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the pavilion master of Lihua Peak, Lihualuo?" Min Sheng asked boldly.

"The number one pavilion master in the world, I know of course, does Min Aiqing want to play?" Because of the military power incident last time, Min Sheng seemed to be quite agile in the court.Zi Zechuan naturally looked at him differently.

Min Sheng thought of a letter recently submitted by Mingyue. This letter was sent back from the south, and it was written by the owner of the pavilion.

He said: "As Lord Luoge said, natural disasters are man-made disasters, and they can be eliminated as long as they are properly managed. And the double taxation is by no means absurd. The Hanshui boundary was originally rich in supplies, and it belongs to the southern area. The most productive areas, if the two natural disasters of drought and flood are controlled, will be able to reach the highest peak of production.”

"Lord Min, even if the drought and flood in the south are eliminated, judging from the harvest without natural disasters in the past years, I am afraid that with double the tax, you want all the people in the south to be destitute. Do you want future generations to say that the court deliberately taxed Zeng? ? Let history," Yu Che said harshly.

Sure enough, in the face of history, Zi Zechuan had no choice but to get angry: "It's simply nonsense!"

Min Sheng knelt down unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, in previous years, even without these disasters, the tax revenue could not be doubled. But today is different from the past. The pavilion master of the Pear Blossom School has found a way to increase the rice and rice. yields of other crops."

"Is that true?" Zi Zechuan became interested after hearing this.

After all, increasing production can also be a sign of a country's prosperity.

"The Pavilion Master Luo of the Pear Blossom Sect has always said the same thing, I believe the emperor has heard about it too." Min Sheng replied.

Today, King Xi is not in court, so Zi Zechuan has no scruples. After thinking about it, he said: "The Lihua School is a well-known decent school, and Lihuamu, the founder of the Lihua Pavilion, is a legendary figure. I heard that Luo Pavilion Master It is also extraordinary, I believe what you said is exactly what she said, and it also corresponds to the saying that natural disasters are man-made disasters."

Seeing that the emperor's face had improved, Gu Yanqing also agreed: "What the emperor said is right, natural disasters are man-made disasters, they can be eradicated!"

Yu Che said anxiously and restlessly: "Your Majesty, this Master Min has a very close relationship with the Pear Blossom Sect, so I don't know whose standpoint he is speaking from!"

Min Sheng still kept his face calm and said, "We should be standing on the standpoint of the country."

Gu Yanqing burst into laughter immediately, he still had an impression of this young civil servant.The last time I talked about the language, the timing was just right, and the adaptability was also good, but I couldn't chat a few words.

Seeing him speak this time, fortunately, there are still people with the same position as him in the court.

Then he said bluntly: "It's good to stand on the standpoint of the country! Your Majesty, Yichen sees that the supply of Hanshui should also be distributed."

"Your Majesty, absolutely..."

Hearing that Yu Chehuai hadn't said the word "No", Zi Zechuan directly issued an order: "Yes!"

"Emperor Shengming!"

All the princes and ministers had no choice but to second Gu Yanqing's thank you.

Min Sheng also got up to take his place.

"Since the matter of Hanshui has been resolved, I have something to report!" As soon as Lei Shi said, many people seemed to have guessed what he was going to report.

Zi Zechuan knew it well, but he still asked why: "Aiqing Lei, what else is there to play?"

"Your Majesty, may I ask what Lei's crimes are? He actually said that he should be abolished? How can it be a joke to abolish the queen as the king of a country?" Lei Shi's tone was blunt.

"Lei's morality is not right. He trespassed in the Forbidden Palace and offended me. Shouldn't he be abolished?" Hearing Lei Shi mentioning the matter of Lei Jingjing at this moment, Zi Zechuan's anger has not yet dissipated.

"Lei's family has lost their virtue. Doesn't the emperor break the palace rules by privately setting up spirit tablets and offering sacrifices in Yuxi Palace?" Lei Shi was aggressive. It seemed that he was deeply concerned about the abolition of the Empress. I don't know if he really felt sorry for his niece. The suffering suffered in the cold palace is still the position of the queen.

"Bold!" Hearing what he said, Zi Zechuan had no choice but to use his own deterrent power.

For a moment, all the crushed people in the court were silent.
