"His Majesty……"

This wail was different from others, and Zhang Zhao died, and no one dared to call Guo Hao in this tone.

Guo Hao looked back and saw no one. He couldn't help but feel a little strange and felt something was wrong.

"Who is that?"

"Just a lunatic."

Zhao Pu was on the side, answering without blushing, and no one else in the cabinet said anything, and he was very nervous.

"No! Someone is looking for me."

"Your Majesty heard it wrong. Your Majesty is in the palace on weekdays, and many people admire you, so it is normal for you to see you."

Although Zhao Pu said this, Guo Hao felt something was wrong. How could someone cause trouble at Zhang Zhao's funeral? And the other party obviously came to him.

"Bring someone over, I want to ask about my purpose."

Zhao Pu was a little hesitant when he heard this. Xue Juzheng saw this and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is not good for a madman to appear in front of the spirit."

The reactions of the two made Guo Hao feel a little surprised. Guo Hao looked as usual and signaled Li Hui to go and take a look.

Li Hui left when he heard this, walked outside to see him but disappeared. He turned around and came back to report, and Guo Hao frowned immediately.

The other party called him Your Majesty, obviously he knew him. The ancients emphasized that the dead were the most important thing, and there must be something wrong with the other party looking for him at this time.

Guo Hao didn't say anything for the time being, so he lit up three incense sticks of incense for Zhang Zhao, encouraged the descendants of the Zhang family, and then left the Zhang family.

On the way back, Guo Hao thought about it more and more, the more he thought about it, and Zhao Pu and others have always respected Guo Hao and rarely treated him as perfunctorily as today.

He is the emperor, and there are too many people who want to see him, so it is normal for the guards to stop him, after all, they do this.

It is also explained that Zhao Pu said that he was a madman. After all, there are too many people who want to be promoted and make money, and not everyone can see the emperor casually, so Guo Hao couldn't say anything.

"Li Hui, tell Zhao Kuangyin and let him pay attention to what happened today!"

"yes!"

Guo Hao didn't think too much about it when he returned to the palace, but Zhao Kuangyin easily found out about this investigation and was shocked.

The magistrate of Caozhou has been in the capital for three days. During this period, he found many people, but no one paid attention to him. These people knew his purpose, but turned a blind eye to him.

What does it mean to be dark under the lamp? Most officials know about this, but no one tells Guo Hao. Zhao Kuangyin is too busy and doesn't care about these trivial matters at all.

After learning about this, Zhao Kuangyin hesitated. If he told Guo Hao, the two princes would inevitably be punished. What would the two of them think of the Zhao family in the future?

Zhao Kuangyin's concerns were also the concerns of other ministers. They did not want to interfere with the royal family affairs, and if they were not done well, they would be doomed.

However, the people of Caozhou were in danger and were uneasy, so he found Chen Xuan and planned to let him make this happen. After all, Chen Xuan was the son-in-law and the uncle of the two princes.

"Mr. Chen, I believe you know about Caozhou, too."

Chen Xuan nodded, his face a little solemn.

"Then why don't you tell Your Majesty?"

"This... Lord Zhao, this matter is related to the two princes, and everyone else is afraid of being implicated, and I..."

"What are you? You are confused! You are the princess of the current dynasty, the princess's husband, your majesty's brother-in-law, and the uncle of the two princes.

With this relationship, what's scary about you? No matter who's fault, the people are the most important. If the court doesn't allocate food for a day, the people in Caozhou will be hungry for a day!"

After Zhao Kuangyin said this, Chen Xuan suddenly realized and patted his forehead.

"Yes, why didn't I expect that Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son. Even if he doesn't know it now, he will definitely know it in the future.

If something really happens at that time, your Majesty will be furious and we will have greater responsibility!"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Yes, I just took office, and some things are not suitable for me. In this matter, you are the most suitable candidate."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly. In fact, he was also afraid that the situation would expand and that it would be uncontrollable. By then, it would be really troublesome.

Besides, Zhao Kuangyin already knew about this, so Zhao Kuangyin asked him to say that he wanted to give other people a face. After all, if he asked him to speak, he would be suspected of complaining.

"So, I'll go see Your Majesty!"

...

Gonghammer Palace, Guo Hao's face was gloomy after listening to Chen Xuan's report.

"Where is that Li Xingde now?"

"I don't know, it should be, it should be..."

“What should it be?”

Guo Hao suddenly shouted loudly, scared Chen Xuan and said hurriedly: "It should be that Lord Zhao and the others were locked up!"

Guo Hao snorted coldly when he heard this, and was very unhappy. He had such a trick to hide the truth. If he hadn't paid homage to Zhang Zhao, he would have never known about this.

Even if we found out later, the matter in Caozhou was a foregone conclusion and the people were starved to death, Guo Hao would not be able to let them survive!

"Go and bring Li Xingde to me!"

"yes!"

Chen Xuan wiped the cold sweat, then got up and left, and when he went out, he asked someone to go to Zhao Pu and others. Zhao Pu sighed when he learned that Guo Hao had already learned about this.

A private house in Bianliang suddenly broke into several guards. The courtyard was looking at a half-aged child, and he was shocked to see the guards.

"Who are you, what are you going to do!"

Li Hui ignored him and waved his hand and asked his men to search. When one of his men pushed open the woodshed, Li Xingde was tied up and his mouth was blocked, and he leaned there motionlessly.

"Boss, found it!"

Li Hui stood in the yard, heard this, walked into the woodshed and helped Li Xingde up, only to find that Li Xingde fainted.

For Guo Hao's safety, Li Hui checked Li Xingde's whole body. Apart from the official robe and a letter on his body, he had nothing on his body!

"take away!"

With Li Hui's order, the guard carried Li Xingde on his back and walked out, entering the palace all the way. Guo Hao heard the news and called the imperial physician.

"Your Majesty, Lord Li is not seriously injured. He just fainted from hunger. I have already given him an injection. When he wakes up later, he will give him some porridge."

The imperial physician said that, and Guo Hao looked at Li Xingde and suddenly felt a little funny.

"I'm so hungry, hahaha, a prefect, I'm so hungry. Is that how do you receive local officials?"

Guo Hao laughed in anger, and the ministers of the cabinet and the six ministries were all banned.

The prefect at this time is equivalent to the mayor of later generations. How ridiculous a mayor fainted from hunger in the capital!

Zhao Pu's face was also a little ugly at this time. He had just kept him in for a long time. Why did Li Xingde faint?

How could they know that Li Xingde rushed to Bianliang from Shandong and didn't carry much money. He had eaten and lived in Bianliang and had spent all his money!

Logically speaking, a prefect has a lot of salary, but Caozhou has a severe drought today. Li Xingde bought all his savings and food, which is still a drop in the bucket.

Everyone stood there, and Li Xingde woke up and saw Guo Hao's eyes turned red.

"Your Majesty, I finally see you!"

With one sentence, Guo Hao felt ashamed. He looked up at everyone, sat beside the bed and comforted him, "Li Aiqing, why are you doing this?"

Li Xingde's eyes were filled with tears: "Your Majesty, Caozhou has a severe drought, and there is no harvest. Hundreds of thousands of people are hungry. I am ashamed of Your Majesty's trust!"

"Don't worry, Li Aiqing, I have sent someone to transfer 20,000 stones of grain to Caozhou, and I will arrive soon. How can I bear to see the people starve to death!"

Hearing this sentence, Li Xingde finally breathed a sigh of relief. After eating a few bites of porridge, he fell asleep again unknowingly. He was too tired.

After settled Li Xingde, Guo Hao looked at the ministers in front of him. Except for Zhao Kuangyin's expression, everyone else lowered their heads.

"Why don't you talk? You have a lot of ideas. You are so cautious and ignore the lives of the people. Do you think I will be grateful to you if you do this?"

"You can adapt to the situation when the imperial court is fighting to collect grain, but if you borrow grain, it is tantamount to killing chickens to get eggs, and fishing in a dry pond. You are killing people!"

"I asked you to collect grain. You did a good job. The Liaodong victory was a great victory and the whole country was joking. But look at what you did. It was a good thing, but because of your negligence, it turned into a bad thing!"

"That's the people of a state. Do you really have the will to starve to death? Or do you think I am strong and don't want me to continue fighting?"

When Guo Hao said this, Zhao Pumeng looked up, which he had never expected before. After all, Wang Pu took the lead and talked to the two princes.

What Wang Pu told Zhao Pu was to support Guo Hao's decision, but he deliberately refused to return the grain in Caozhou afterwards, resulting in a serious shortage of food in Caozhou.
