The queen is charming, but powerful ministers lure her to seize power and usurp the throne

The emperor leaned back slightly and replied nonchalantly, "This kind of thing happens every year. It's either in this county or in that state capital. It's either drought or flood. The country is so big that it's inevitable that there will be some problems."

Gao Hong's heart trembled slightly. He had known that the emperor was aloof and the people were nothing but ants in his eyes.

His light words brought blood and tears to countless people.

For these people in Kyoto, it is just one or two missing.

The land of Jin Dynasty is vast, and even the loss of Ningzhou County will not affect them at all, let alone a mere spring drought?
Gao Hong came out of the ravine. He knew that spring planting is related to autumn harvest.

And the word "spring drought" is such a desperate situation for farmers who rely on the weather for their livelihood.

Asking for every day will not work, asking for the land will not work.

And the emperor they worshiped could not see their suffering.

Gao Hong suppressed the emotions in his heart and said in a more restrained voice, "There are disasters in the sky, the sky is ruthless, and humans are sentimental. The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, and is responsible for the life and death of all living beings in the world. I sincerely ask the Holy One to show mercy to Ningzhou County."

The emperor was a little impatient. Gao Hong used to be very sensible, but today he was unyielding.

"I said, it's just a trivial matter. Why bother to mobilize so many people when you see the rules? If everything was as competitive as you, I would have died of exhaustion on the dragon's throne."

Gao Hong knelt before the king, his back as thin and straight as a bamboo pole.

"I come from a poor family, and I am lucky enough to have the favor of the Holy One, so that I can speak a word for the hard-working people in the loess. Although it is a small matter, and a thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest, why not take advantage of the small matter to solve it first, and show the grace of the Holy One. "

Seeing that he was like a stinky stone and persisted to the end, the emperor didn't want to talk to him anymore.

It was just a trivial matter, so he said, "I will pass on my oral instructions and draft a decree to exempt Ningzhou County from taxes this year, and let the Ministry of Household Affairs allocate funds for disaster relief according to the situation."

"The saint is wise and kind to the people, which is a blessing to his ministers and a blessing to the people of the Jin Dynasty." Gao Hong kowtowed.

The emperor snorted coldly, "Forget it this time. For the sake of your hard work, I won't let it happen again. If everyone is like you, and this is the case, then the country will not be able to survive. After all, you are the one who started it all." When you enter the officialdom, you have never seen much of the world, so for just such a small thing to make you panic, it really doesn't look right."

Gao Hong did not argue, but bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "I am guilty, thank you for your teaching, and please punish me."

No matter what, he will do it.

If he turns a blind eye like others, what's the use of wearing a black gauze hat? Ten years of hard work is also a joke.

He grew up eating hundreds of meals, and every brick he stepped on was made from the blood and sweat of the villagers dripping into the loess.

They risked everything to confess him, wasn't it just for these few words, which the emperor found very unsightly?
"That's all, I acted too hastily and forced others to do something difficult. Just retreat."

The emperor waved his hand. How could he not see the stubbornness in the eyes of the young man in front of him?
It's just that stubbornness needs to be differentiated by occasion.

If you insist on knowing that you don't like it, it may not be a good thing if it goes on for a long time.

But the emperor also understood selfishly that Gao Hong wanted to be a good official who asked for orders for the people.

It's just that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Such an idea is too naive in the turbulent court.

After Gao Hong brought up those poor scholars and were able to compete with the Gu family, the emperor felt that he had to find someone else.

Serving the people is a good official, but being loyal and obeying the divine orders is the best official. (End of chapter)
