My whole family is fleeing

In the end, the eldest prince searched again and again but could not find a capable general, so he had to settle for himself. During this period, although my father had ascended the throne, he was still weak. He always wanted to recuperate in the harem and rarely went to court. Those princes and ministers had already had their opinions, but because they handled the matter fairly well, they didn't make a big fuss. In fact, none of the noble ministers in the Manchu Dynasty knew that the real person in power of the Li Dynasty today was the eldest prince, not the emperor who was recuperating due to illness.

Because of this, when the eldest prince recommended his mother's uncle to fight the rebellion, although the ministers had their opinions, they still failed to express them. But now that they have such a good excuse, how could they not use it? What about one use?

Speaking of which, everyone in the world is the same. When they can benefit themselves, they don't want to give this benefit to others. And as a minister of Qingliu who worked hard to reach this height, he never wanted to see others climb so high just because of a little nepotism with the superior. This is too unfair to them, so if they can seize the opportunity, they absolutely do not want the eldest prince's mother's family to come into the eyes of the ministers again.

Originally, it was only because of a little blood relationship and enough luck that the current eldest prince became the actual person in power. But is it because of this that those incompetent people have to climb to a higher position? This is too unfair.

There are many ministers who think this way. If they cannot be suppressed this time, their majesty will be greatly damaged in the future.

Of course, the eldest prince is not a fool. The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. Of course he understands this truth. The risk of going out to quell the rebellion by yourself is still too high, so I have to find a foolproof strategy...

In the end, the eldest prince turned his eyes for help to Mu Lian, who was cultivating herself. Mu Lian was actually not surprised that the eldest prince would come to him at this time. He could almost say that he had watched the eldest prince grow up. No matter how well he disguised himself, he could still see through that layer. Pi Nang could clearly see what was going on in this child's mind. At this time, the eldest prince simply did not want to let go of the power he had gained, nor did he want his reputation among the people and officials to be hindered and smeared.

People who want to grab both hands like this often end up getting neither.

Mu Lian did not refuse to give him advice, but she also made all the risks clear first.

"I do have a few people under my command who are capable of fighting, but their skills are not as good as those of the orthodox and well-educated generals. They can barely say they can kill people. There are also a few people who are good at disguises, who can be used to kill people." They pretend to be you and go to war. The result of the war will naturally be on you, but the risk of doing so is indeed very high. I am just making suggestions, the final decision is still in your hands. I can give You have enough time to think about whether you want to do this or not, and then answer after thinking about it, so as not to regret it in the middle, and then both parties will be displeased."

The eldest prince thought for a long time, but finally did not agree.

Because there are flaws in this plan. For example, there is no need to let Mu Lian's people disguise themselves and make them look like themselves. He can treat them as talents he has found out with his discerning eye, so that the achievements they make must still be attributed to him, so that he can sit in the capital justifiably, and no one can say anything wrong.

This also reduces the conflicts that may arise from disguises. The eldest prince was really worried that this method of quietly replacing someone would be used on himself. But now that Mu Lian has mentioned it, how could the eldest prince not bring over such a strange person? Mu Lian did not refuse, he just looked at the eldest prince meaningfully.

"Since the eldest prince thinks so, of course I, as a minister, cannot have any objections. However, the world is complicated and unpredictable, so I hope that the eldest prince can take responsibility for all the things he has done."

"...Sir, what you said seems to mean something. I wonder if you can answer the students' questions?" "As a person who is trapped in the palace and has no freedom, what advice can I give to the eldest prince? But it is more than others. I just ate a few mouthfuls of rice and a few more vegetables. What's the big deal? I'm not talking about giving advice. I just hope that the eldest prince can run the country smoothly so that the people at the bottom can have a chance to breathe."

So the conversation came to an end.

The eldest prince thought about it for a long time, but finally decided not to go into battle in person. After all, it was too dangerous. And those people given by Mu Lian are indeed very useful, especially the one who helped him lead the troops in the war. His name was Zhong Xiaolang. He was so brave that he risked his life in fighting. He put down several rebellions. . Soon after, he gained a good reputation and evaluation among officials and people.

But before the eldest prince had time to be happy, a rare snowstorm broke out in the Central Plains.

You must know that it is already spring, and some wild flowers that bloomed earlier have already bloomed. It is the time of spring. No one expected that a snowstorm would come so suddenly, almost covering the entire Central Plains area!

However, the terrain in the Central Plains is flat, and even if the snow melts, there will be no place for it to flow. What's more, the current snowstorm is so fierce that some low-lying houses have been covered. Under such circumstances, everyone can survive the severe cold. There was little hope of saving his own life. In this case, the court must provide disaster relief and organize a large number of people to rescue people in order to prevent greater losses.

But the eldest prince has been taking over the mess of Da Li Dynasty for a long time, and he clearly knows that there is no extra money and food in the treasury now. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many rebel forces across the country.

The eldest prince stared at the flat land in the Central Plains region and couldn't help feeling embarrassed. The Central Plains region has flat terrain, abundant water resources, and high food production. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. Of course, such a place cannot be abandoned, but now, he really has no choice.

Once the courtiers went to court, they only chattered and couldn't even think of a single useful measure. When they asked for donations, their heads shook faster than the other, for fear of being caught if they shook their heads slower.

Alas, with such courtiers, how could their dynasty rise? Obviously they were very powerful before the Li Dynasty. But now, after a long period of ravages, it is almost lost in the long river of time.

But the eldest prince couldn't ignore it. It was precisely because of such a severe snowstorm that the people were displaced. People were freezing to death and starving to death in the cold every moment. If nothing is done at this time, more and more people will rebel.
