Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Another day or two passed.

At this time, Bai Mingwei and the others were heading towards Jiangbei at full speed.

Liu Yao, who stayed behind to personally transport the disaster relief money to Jiangbei, was also ready. He just waited for the Ministry of Accounts to allocate the money and give it to him to transport to Jiangbei.

However, just when everything was going in the right direction, the 10 taels of silver that Beiyan was supposed to pay turned into thousands of taels.

Yuan Wu also gave a high-sounding reason for this: he paid the money in one hand and delivered the goods in the other hand. The goods had not been completely shipped, so naturally the payment could not be settled first.

The imperial court now does not have all the goods, and there is no way to go to him to settle the payment.

In this way, Liu Yao and his party, who were originally preparing to set off, were held back because of the lack of disaster relief funds.

Because of this matter, the court has been quarreling all morning, but nothing has been resolved.

Emperor Yuan Zhen left angrily.

Without the order of Emperor Yuanzhen, Shen Zian could not use the money collected from the prince even if it had just been received into the treasury.

So Shen Zian chased Emperor Yuan Zhen all the way to Chengming Hall.

"no!"

After listening to Shen Zian's words, Emperor Yuan Zhen replied with these two words.

Shen Zian still refused to give up: "Your Majesty, the heavy rain has destroyed only houses and farmland, leaving countless people homeless."

"If it is not curbed, things will definitely get out of control. The displaced people will become mobs because of hunger, and Jiangbei will be in chaos."

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to open the treasury and allow His Highness Ninth Prince to transport silver to the north of the Yangtze River to save thousands of people affected by the disaster."

"Don't be alarmist!" Emperor Yuan Zhen shouted angrily.

Just when Shen Zian thought that Emperor Yuan Zhen thought his words were exaggerated, he couldn't believe his ears.

"Young men are all wearing battle armor and are scattered all over the country to defend the territory. The ones left in Jiangbei are at best the old, weak, sick and disabled. Even if they make trouble, what kind of trouble can they make?"

"Isn't Bai Mingwei a general? If she can't even suppress the rebellion of the old, weak, sick and disabled, what kind of bullshit general is she? She's the only one I'll ask first!"

Shen Zian argued with reason: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because they are old, weak, sick and disabled that they need relief even more, even if they are unarmed and cannot make any big waves."

"But if the court watched them die in disasters without doing anything, how would this make their relatives who were far away on the border protecting their homes and country feel?"

Speaking of this, Shen Zian became very emotional.

He walked forward on his knees and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, hundreds of thousands of people are guarding the difficult border areas in order to defend the territory and protect the relatives behind them!"

"The land in Tanglin is their belief, and the family members living behind them are their motivation to persevere."

"They protect the country, and the court protects their families. This is natural. Disaster relief is urgent. Please make a decision as soon as possible!"

Emperor Yuan Zhen took a few deep breaths, and veins could be seen beating on his forehead.

He was originally standing in front of the table with his back to Shen Zian, but suddenly he suddenly swept away everything on the table.

Turning around, his eyes were filled with endless killing intent.

He walked towards Shen Zian, one step after another: "Do you even want to point fingers at me?"

Shen Zian had already seen Emperor Yuanzhen's anger, but he also knew that this was the last chance to get Emperor Yuanzhen to nod and open the treasury.

If he retreats now to avoid his sharp edge, he may not even have a chance to meet the saint in the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Zian knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the disaster in Jiangbei cannot be delayed. Please issue an order to allocate funds. If it is delayed for a while, there will be sorrow and hunger everywhere..."

"Donngling has just ended its days of being oppressed. We are determined not to let the disaster in Jiangbei cause the morale of the army to be shaken and the hearts of the people to be unstable."

Emperor Yuan Zhen's fists were slowly clenched.

It seemed that the next moment, it would hit Shen Zian's head.

At this time, Qin Fengye hurriedly walked in with Jin Wuwei: "Escort! Escort!"

Jin Wuwei rushed forward and clamped down on Shen Zian.

Qin Fengye didn't give Shen Zian a chance to speak, and loudly ordered: "Shang Shu Shen is crazy. Get him out quickly and calm down, lest he hurt your majesty."

Shen Zian still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, but he was just an old man in his sixties.

In front of the majestic Jinwu Guards, not only was his movement restricted, but his voice was also unable to come out because his chest was squeezed, so he was dragged out of Chengming Hall.As Emperor Yuan Zhen got further and further away, the despair in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

Finally, he was thrown down the steps and fell hard to the ground, unable to move for a while.

Qin Fengye looked at Shen Zian lying on the ground and sneered.

I was about to tell Jin Wuwei to stay away.

"Presumptuous! If you dare to move, I will chop off your hands and feet!"

It was Liu Yao. He drove away the Jin Wu Guards, and then ordered his close associates: "Send Master Shen back to his home."

The cronies immediately took the order and helped Shen Zian prepare to leave.

Shen Zian knew he couldn't just leave. When he was helped up, he wanted to return to Chengming Hall to intercede for the victims.

But as soon as he took a step, he fell heavily to the ground.

There were stars in his eyes and he was dizzy.

But even if he had to crawl, he still wanted to crawl towards Chengming Hall.

Liu Yao knelt down and held his hand: "Your Excellency, you usually act steadily and thoughtfully, why are you so impulsive today?"

Shen Zi'an burst into tears: "Your Highness, the people in Jiangbei can't wait any longer. If we don't open the national treasury and allocate money to buy food for disaster relief, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long."

Liu Yao lowered his voice: "I have my own opinion on this matter. Please take care of yourself, Master Shen. Don't lose your life because of this."

"The people don't need you to trade their lives for life-saving money. They need you to live for a long time. Only in this way can there be a good people-oriented official in the court."

After hearing these words, Shen Zian finally calmed down a lot.

He rubbed his head and woke up suddenly, as if he was very frightened.

Liu Yao asked him: "Sir, are you feeling unwell?"

Shen Zian looked at Liu Yao deeply, but finally shook his head: "I'm fine, I just drank too much tea. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

Liu Yao carefully considered Shen Zian's words.

Just now he saw Shen Zian rushing toward Chengming Hall regardless of the obstruction. He felt something was wrong, so he followed.

When he saw Shen Zian, he felt something was wrong with Shen Zian.

The former Minister of the Ministry of Finance was such a calm person.

It is precisely because of this wisdom and calmness that the affairs of the Bai Mansion have never implicated the Shen Mansion.

But today, he seemed to be out of order, and his behavior was very strange.

Could it be that he was drugged?
Thinking about this, Liu Yao didn't ask to the end, but just glanced at his confidant.

The confidant immediately understood and nodded to Liu Yao, saying that he would find out.

Finally, the confidant supported Shen Zian: "Sir, I will take you back home."

At this time, Shen Zian had returned to normal. He looked at Qin Fengye who was sneering at the door of Chengming Hall, and then let Liu Yao's people send him away.

After letting his cronies take Shen Zian away, Liu Yao walked towards Qin Fengye.

Qin Fengye sneered and cupped his hands: "Your Highness, my lord."

Liu Yao glanced at him and then cursed:

"You confused bitch! Shen Shangshu is a veteran of three dynasties like you. If you treat him like this, how can people who don't know what you are doing guess about your father?!"

"I think you have ulterior motives. Do you want to ruin my father's reputation? If I hadn't arrived in time, my father would have been harmed by you, this old and immortal thing!"

Qin Fengye opened his mouth to talk back.

Liu Yao suddenly raised his voice: "Is this what the king said is wrong?! Is it the father's order to let the Jinwu Guards blast Shen Shangshu away?"

"In my opinion, you are just a bitch using chicken feathers as arrows. You are relying on human power to satisfy your dirty selfishness by using the majesty of your father!"

Qin Fengye still wanted to reply.

Liu Yao shouted sharply: "I would like to ask you, have I ever wronged you?" (End of Chapter)
