Luan and Phoenix Tribulation: A Concubine Becomes a Phoenix

Chapter 332
The subordinate asked in a deep voice: "Then what should I do now? Are you going to get rid of the person who sent the letter?"

Su Zhengqin raised his hand to stop it and said, "The prince should also be waiting for this letter."

He said with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth: "All the way, I called it the letter from the national teacher to the prince with great fanfare, as if I was afraid that I would not know... Oh, this is really the style of Miss Shi Jin. Since she is so kind, How can I be willing to let her fall into trouble with the prince."

So he put the letter back into the envelope, re-sealed it with wax, handed it to the subordinate, and said: "I have read this letter, so it is meaningless. You return it to the sender and let him deliver it to the prince. By the way, I'm asking for favor from the prince for the national teacher. If the prince doesn't receive the letter from the national teacher, he may think that the national teacher is biased towards us, and that's not good."

The subordinate thought for a while and said, "Isn't that better?"

Su Zhengqin stood up with both hands on the chair, and said leisurely: "It might be better when the national teacher is still in Beijing, but now that the national teacher has resigned from the position of the national teacher, it may not be so good. If you don't pay attention, you will be killed. .”

The servant bowed and said: "This subordinate understands, this subordinate will do it now."

At the same time, Su Zhengqin went to Huainan to find out about the shipwreck, only to find out that the drowned people on board were refugees from Huainan.He brought up the situation in Huainan at the court, which shocked the court.The emperor was even more unbelievable that he hadn't heard a word of it in the capital.

Officials who knew about it chose to remain silent, while officials who didn't know about it were completely stunned.

The emperor was furious at the time, and he was kept in the dark about such an important matter.Years ago, the prince had been sent to relieve the disaster, but it was unexpected that the disaster is getting worse now.Where did the disaster money go?

The emperor was so angry that he knocked down all the folders on the table and the auspicious animal incense burner, and all the civil and military officials below were silent.He was so angry that he almost lost his breath, slumped on the chair and gasped for breath, all civil and military officials knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body!"

The emperor even pointed to the three ministers of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials, and asked them to tell the truth.If you don't know anything about it, you will be guilty of dereliction of duty and inspection. The emperor put down his plain words and dismissed them all from their official posts and transferred them to Dali Temple for serious investigation.

The three ministers were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground, they secretly glanced at the crown prince Su Yinli who stood at the head of all the officials, and they couldn't describe the current situation without explaining it.It's just that no one can tell how much they know, they just choose to be dumb all the time in order to avoid offending the prince.

The three ministers explained a few words insinuatingly, which roughly meant that they did hear some rumors about Huainan, and they thought it was not serious at first, and Huainan County could handle it by itself.

At this time, Su Yinli took the initiative to stand up and said: "I would like to report to my father, yesterday I also received a letter from the former national teacher who passed through Huainan, and told my son about the situation in Huainan. It is my son who is not good at doing things, and the disaster relief For the sake of the overall situation, I failed to take care of some remote places, leaving the people there without food and clothing. My son is willing to make up for his mistakes and go south again."

Su Zhengqin also stood up and said: "Father, as far as I know, the crops in Huainan are not harvested. It is the time for farming, but they have no land to plant and no food to eat. If it is just remote places that are not taken care of, why are there so many people?" Refugees gathered at the Huainan Wharf, why is the plague rampant in the contiguous towns? If this matter is left unchecked, Huainan will be in chaos and the people's hearts will be unstable. I also ask my father to allow my son to go to Huainan in person to help the disaster again!"

Su Zhengqin spoke righteously, then knelt down on one knee, completely showing concern for the country and the people.Su Yinli wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the emperor raising his hand: "Enough, I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore!"

Since Huainan's water conservancy was not repaired and floods flooded, this series of things has spread again and again.Tracing the source, it was the prince's ineffective supervision of water conservancy, and the diverted money had no direction, which caused the imperial mausoleum to suffer, and even the emperor almost died.Later, the prince was asked to make up for his merits and go south to relieve the disaster, but he turned out to be like this!The emperor was not only angry, but also disappointed with the prince again and again.

The matter in Huainan cannot be delayed. The emperor immediately ordered the appointment of the second prince as an imperial envoy, and ordered the counties to open warehouses to help Huainan. It is necessary to let the land of Huainan have soil to grow and the people in Huainan to have food to eat.

At that time, Rong Guohou stood up and asked for orders to go with him, and he could also escort the second prince along the way.There was no reason for Su Zhengqin not to agree. If there must be someone from the crown prince to follow, it would be better to be in the dark than in the open. Marquis Rong Guo is indeed conspicuous enough.After taking Rong Guohou away from Beijing, An Guohou's pressure suddenly eased.

Both of these two Marquis came down from the battlefield. Now that the Jin Dynasty has been pacified for decades, their use of force is only in the imperial city, the land of Yu.If you want to control the imperial city, you must first control the imperial guards guarding the imperial city.

For An Guohou, the military aircraft office in front of the mansion in his hands is only a very small corner.The Forbidden Army is deeply rooted, including the forces of Marquis Rong and Marquis An.

But the supreme command of the imperial guards has always been firmly held in the hands of the emperor, and everyone covets it.

In the end, the matter of going south to Huainan was settled like this. Su Zhengqin went south in person as an imperial envoy, and Marquis Rong Guo sent someone to escort Su Zhengqin and the relief supplies to go south with him.

At night, Su Yinli secretly met with Marquis Rong Guo in the East Palace.Feng Shizhao was already the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, and also the daughter of Marquis Rong Guo, so naturally he did not avoid suspicion, and served tea by the side.

Su Yinli told Marquis Rong Guo that there were two purposes for this trip south.

One is to monitor Su Zhengqin's every move. The officials of various ministries in Huainan will protect them if they can.

Another purpose is the vast land in the south, which is the division of the Jin Dynasty and the Yezhan Kingdom. The border guards have an army of [-]. The Marquis of Rongguo needs to communicate with the Nanguang border army and insert people he trusts. That is the main purpose of this trip south.

Marquis Rong Guo has a very high prestige in the army. If he goes to Nanguang in person, he will be able to win the trust of the Nanguang border army.Instead of saying that the forbidden army cannot be gathered for a long time, it is better to win over the allied forces outside the imperial city as much as possible.

The second prince's good trick, now that the emperor has gradually lost confidence in Su Yinli, Su Yinli must have the strength to protect himself in case of special circumstances.

The battle between Su Yinli and Su Zhengqin is becoming more and more fierce, and since Rong Guohou has married his daughter to the prince, he is firmly rooted on the prince's side.

When everything that needs to be explained has been properly explained, Feng Shizhao stood aside and listened to understand, Rong Guohou and Su Yinli were silent and drank tea by themselves.

Suddenly Rong Guohou and the crown prince said almost simultaneously:

"The national teacher..."

"This time the national teacher..."

The two looked at each other and stopped talking again.Feng Shizhao's heart sank slightly when he heard it.

Su Yinli took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said: "This time when the national teacher entered Huainan, he wrote a letter to my palace, and all the way was unimpeded in the name of this palace, but it happened that the second prince took the lead. If he It’s all about worrying about the country and the people.”

Rong Guohou said seriously: "What does the prince want to do?"

Su Yinli put down the teacup, with a gloomy look in his eyes, he said: "It will be a disaster to keep such a person sooner or later, if you go south and see it, you can get rid of this disaster."
