Chapter 1050
Chapter [-] The treasury is tight
The emperor opened the memorial and looked at it, while walking in the direction of the dragon chair.

As soon as he walked to the corner of the table, before he sat down, the emperor read the words on the memorial, and his face immediately became ugly.

Seeing the emperor's expression, the fourth prince instantly changed from happy to cloudy and worried, and couldn't help being startled in his heart.

Thinking that he didn't know what happened in the northwest, the fourth prince was wondering when he heard the emperor slap the memorial on the table heavily, then sighed, and turned his back to them.

The fourth prince turned his head to look at the father-in-law who was handing over the memorial, his eyes were also full of doubts, he couldn't figure out what the emperor was thinking right now.

Judging from the emperor's reaction, it could not be called anger, but more like worry. The fourth prince lowered his head and thought about what kind of thing would make the emperor show such an appearance in front of him, worried and helpless.

There was a depressing atmosphere in the hall, the emperor turned around, his eyes turned on the fourth prince and the serving father-in-law.

The fourth prince mistakenly thought that this was news he shouldn't have heard, so he saluted and prepared to leave the palace.

However, what he didn't expect was that the emperor waved his hand and rejected his proposal. Not only that, but also asked him to stay here and listen carefully.

The fourth prince of course accepted this arrangement in his heart, he straightened up and watched the person who the emperor asked his father-in-law to deliver the letter to come in.

As soon as the general who came from the northwest to deliver the memorial came in, he knelt down in front of the emperor. After bowing heavily, he saw that the emperor ordered him to get up, so he dared to get up.

The general was a little excited and apprehensive, happy that he had successfully completed the task Mr. Tao had given him, but apprehensive because he didn't know what kind of reply and arrangement the emperor would have.

The emperor could see his complicated mood, and after a simple comfort, he began to inquire about the situation in the northwest in detail.

The general didn't dare to hide anything, and told the emperor everything about the situation in the northwest. Even if he didn't exaggerate, it would still sound appalling.

The emperor chatted with him for a long time, and the fourth prince was listening carefully and sitting quietly.

After the emperor finished asking the generals, he set his eyes on the fourth prince and stayed there for a long time.

"What do you think about this matter?" The emperor asked lightly, which made the fourth prince and the general slightly stunned.

In fact, this kind of thing is not simple. Judging from the way the emperor listened to the general's speech just now, the emperor clearly understood the situation there, and also agreed to believe the general's statement.

The fourth prince thought, after this participation in the general, there will definitely be more memorials from the imperial court, which will record the situation in the northwest in more detail, so there will never be any false reports that need to be checked.

He thought that the emperor asked him that it was obvious that more court affairs should be handed over to him, which was a good signal.

Thinking of this, the fourth prince didn't dare to delay the slightest, and hurriedly replied, "Returning to my father, my son believes that in the face of such natural disasters, our dynasty has a very mature way of dealing with them, and we should open the treasury and allocate funds for disaster relief."

"At the same time, we should also mobilize the surrounding counties, open the granaries, and transport the grain there. You can also buy the grain from the surrounding merchants and have it transported by the government."

The fourth prince talked a lot, seeing that the emperor and the others didn't interrupt or refute him, he felt more confident.

His words are very powerful, and he said in a cadence, "In addition to the transfer of money and grain, the government should also come forward. Maintaining social stability is one aspect. At the same time, it is necessary to prevent merchants from taking advantage of the opportunity to raise prices and amass wealth, endangering the interests of the court and the people."

After the fourth prince finished speaking impassionedly, the emperor nodded in satisfaction. He still spoke very well about the imminent disaster relief.

There was a brief flash of relief in the emperor's eyes, but soon the light in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a deep worry.

However, what was he worried about in his heart, the emperor did not say it directly, but tried his best to show a smile, and comforted the general from the northwest, "You heard it just now, and I also have the same plan."

When the general heard this, his face immediately beamed with joy, and he let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. He was happy that his trip to the capital was not in vain. Although he traveled all the way, fortunately, the people in the northwest were saved.

But then, the emperor's words confused him again, and he felt a little bit more uncertain and restless.

"It's just that the national treasury is a little tight now. I just heard the situation from your report, and it's still possible to support it for about a month." Although the emperor frowned deeply, but listening to his tone of voice, he could still hear his calmness in planning. .

"I will send a secret letter to Mr. Tao immediately, so that he can arrange it properly," the emperor said, already started to flick his sleeves, picked up the imperial pen and began to write the letter.

Everyone in the hall looked at the emperor quietly, the emperor wrote a few words, then raised his head and added, "From now on, within ten days, I will let you escort Qian Liang back to the original path."

The emperor's voice was clearer in this empty hall, every word struck the general's eardrum forcefully.

The ginseng general knelt on the ground with a plop, and thanked the emperor with a loud voice.

The emperor stopped writing, and said in a lower voice, "Get up, go down and have a good rest, you haven't been back for more than a year, and spend time with your family."

"Yes!" The general's joyful voice was a little louder. Although he was concerned about the situation in the Northwest and the suffering people, he was eager to return home, but since it took ten days before he could leave Beijing, he could stay here for ten days. The family's side can be regarded as the emperor's kindness.

Like a stolen ten days of happiness, General Shen hurriedly resigned from the palace without any delay, and rushed all the way back to his family whom he hadn't seen for more than a year.

Besides, after the general left, the emperor was still bowing his head and writing a letter to Mr. Tao, the commander in chief of the Northwest, and there was no sign of intending to let the fourth prince leave.
The fourth prince didn't dare to disturb the emperor's thoughts at this time, so he could only stand by the side.

After the emperor finished writing the last word, the fourth prince secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Because he didn't dare to disturb the emperor just now, he not only didn't say a word, but also stood there all the time.

He thought it was finally over, and he should be able to go back soon.

However, the emperor put down all the imperial pens, seeing that the fourth prince was still there, but he was not prepared to let him leave.

The emperor collected the secret letter and handed it to the serving father-in-law, asking him to send someone to send it out quickly.

After Eunuch De went out with the fly whisk and the secret letter in his hand, only the fourth prince and the emperor were left in the hall.
