After the waste material goes against the sky

Chapter 28 The trend of opposition [3]

"Your Majesty, Concubine Li, she..."

"The queen doesn't need to say more." Yuchi Haotian interrupted Xu Huizhen's words, and said to Concubine Li and all the concubines in the harem: "The empress is the master of the six palaces, according to the rules, the concubines of the palaces should be on time every day according to the queen's request. , don't break the rules."

Seeing Concubine Li lowered her head in frustration, Yuchi Haotian said again: "Concubine Li has just entered the palace, and she is not clear about the rules in the palace. This is excusable. It is better for the empress to look at my face and forgive Concubine Li. How about this time?"

The emperor asked for mercy, but the queen didn't say much, so she had to answer.

At night, the queen deliberately bathed and dressed up and prepared the emperor's favorite snacks, but no one came until late at night.The police inquired, but learned that Yuchi Haotian had already gone to Concubine Li's Meiyan Palace.He was so angry that he almost killed and set fire to it.

The next day, Yuchi Haotian abruptly stopped the morning court for one day and stayed with Concubine Li all day, on the grounds that Concubine Li was punished for kneeling for too long the previous day, that she was unwell, and that she wanted someone to accompany her. go to Xuanzheng Hall from his bedroom.

"Every Aiqing has something to play and retreat to the court without anything else."

"Your Majesty, I have something to announce. The day before yesterday, I asked you to allocate 2000 million taels of silver to relieve the disaster in Huayang. I don't know what the Emperor wants?"

"This……"

Yuchi Haotian was hesitant to speak, but his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Li Zhengqing, Concubine Li's father, the former third-rank Hanlin Pavilion Grand Scholar, who was promoted to the second-rank Zuodu Censor due to Li Concubine's reasons.

After Li Zhengqing understood, he immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, the old minister believes that disaster relief is imperative, but these two aspects need to be discussed."

"Oh?"

After listening to Li Zhengqing's words, Yuchi Haotian immediately became interested.

"Li Aiqing, please speak."

"The Huayang Canal is flooded every year, and it is repaired every year, but it suffers disasters every year. The money goes out, and the river is still flooded."

"Building a high embankment this year will not be able to block the river? There is a shortage of silver for disaster relief. What should the people of Huayang City do?"

Hearing Li Zhengqing's rebuttal, Xu Chengzhong was very angry and his veins burst.I didn't expect this old boy to have such great courage to openly provoke him.Do you really think that if your daughter enters the palace to be favored, she will be able to turn herself into a queen?dream!

"If the emperor allocates 2000 million taels of silver, can the prime minister guarantee that the river will not flood next year? If this is the case, I will immediately ask for an order to allocate the silver taels for embanking the river."

"Well, Li Aiqing is right. Can the Prime Minister guarantee it?"

"This……"

"Your Majesty, of the 2000 million taels, if you spend 1000 million taels to build river embankments, that's too much, and the remaining 1000 million taels will be used for disaster relief and allocated to the victims.

The minister calculated an account: Huayang City has 40 people, and if 1000 million taels are allocated, each person can get 20 taels of silver.If a household counts 3 members, each person can get nearly 70 taels of silver.

This is the cost of eating and drinking for ordinary people for seven years.Now that the North Vietnam country has repeatedly violated our borders, the minister believes that the emperor should raise his troops to prevent future crises. "

"What does Li Aiqing think this matter should be done?"

"I believe that relief is necessary for disasters, and river embankments must be built. The emperor can allocate 800 million taels for disaster relief, and send a censor to supervise, so as to prevent local officials from filling their pockets."

"In this case, then Li Aiqing will help me choose a faithful and reliable person, and immediately go to Huayang to supervise the disaster relief."

"The minister obeys the order."

"I don't know what else the Prime Minister has to do?"

"The minister has nothing to do."

Yuchi Haotian hooked his lips into a smile and was in a good mood.
