Slowly disintegrating the right-hand man of the dog emperor of the Daqing Dynasty.

Among them, Lu Jianghe, the commander of the Divine Catcher Division, was a thorn in Murong Dai's side.

But he was careful and vigilant in his dealings with others, without showing any flaws.

The last time Ding Laosan went for an assassination, he failed and almost lost his life.

Murong Dai actually never thought of placing her hopes on Xue Mu.

It's just that he is the only person closest to Lu Jianghe now.

Mentioning Xue Mu, Murong Dai lowered her head and looked at her chest.

I remembered his funny "tricks" again.

"childish."

Murong Dai complained, but the corners of her mouth raised again.

"Dong dong dong!"

At five o'clock in the morning, the bronze bell in Jingyang Tower was rung.

At this moment, Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin came to Fengtian Hall.

While sitting on the dragon chair, the eunuch beside him waved his whip.

The ministers and others outside began to enter the palace.

The voice of shouting for long live could not dissipate in the imperial city for a long time.

Emperor Qing Zhao Hongyin went to court for the first time this month.

He held his forehead and looked impatient.

The eunuch Feng Xi then spoke up and said: "If you have something to do, leave early and leave early. If you have nothing to do, roll up the curtain and leave the court."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zuo, the Minister of Household Affairs, took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have a script to start this memorial."

Zhao Hongyin looked at Jiang Zuo and frowned even more, but he still waved his hand and said: "Jiang Shangshu, what's the matter?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are locust plagues of varying degrees in the three regions of Northeast China. There are already countless victims, and the food relief is getting less and less. If this continues, the people's sentiment in Northeast China may be affected," Jiang Zuo replied.

After Zhao Hongyin heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly. He sat up slightly and asked: "Based on what Jiang Shangshu sees, what should I do?"

"Wei Chen believes that the expenses of the palace and the ministers are too extravagant. The expenses of the harem should be reduced and the living expenses of the ministers should be limited, and the saved money should be used for disaster relief." Jiang Zuo explained.

As soon as these words came out, the court exploded.

"Jiang Shangshu, you are here."

"Your Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for finance, but now you can't control it. Are you making fun of us?!"

"Yeah, this."

Many ministers are discussing it privately.

But in fact, Jiang Zuo was also very uneasy.

Because this suggestion was made by the eldest princess.

He has to say it!

At this moment, he was covered in sweat, for fear of offending Zhao Hongyin who was sitting on the dragon throne.

But unexpectedly, Zhao Hongyin never spoke, but continued to remain silent.

At this time, the eldest prince Zhao Ji took a step forward and said: "I would like to inform my father, I have something to report."

"Yeah, tell me." Zhao Hongyin nodded slightly.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for managing the finance and land situation of our entire Daqing Dynasty. I guess that until the Ministry of Household Affairs is at the end of its rope, Jiang Shangshu will never make such a bad move. I am willing to take my family with me, save expenses, and use the money saved.

For relief." Zhao Ji responded.

When Jiang Zuo heard this, he did not expect that His Highness Prince Jing, Zhao Ji, would actually agree with his point of view today.

You know, usually he and I are incompatible with each other, and they are at odds with each other all day long!

Perhaps it was the eldest prince's attitude that made some of the voices in the court become quieter.

But at this time, His Royal Highness Zhao Chengqian, the second prince Kang Wang, came out and said: "Father, I think the emperor and Jiang Shangshu are right. Now there are disasters in the three places in the north and east, and we are in Kyoto and cannot feel this kind of hunger and cold.

In this situation, I am willing to donate one-third of my family property for disaster relief."

As soon as these words came out.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Many ministers looked at each other in confusion.

There is only one monologue in their hearts.

[Damn! This guy is so ruthless!]

【One-third of the family property! How dare you!】

Zhao Hongyin listened to their speeches one by one, and did not rush to make a conclusion. Instead, he asked: "My dear friends, does anyone else have their own opinions? Or maybe they want to think about how to resolve this crisis in the three places in the Northeast."

All the ministers under the platform looked at each other, but no one dared to stand up.

At this time, the eunuch outside the Fengtian Palace suddenly shouted: "Princess Changle, please see me!"

When Zhao Hongyin heard this, he smiled and then gestured: "Xuan Changle."

"Princess Xuan Changle has an audience!!"

The eldest princess Zhao Ruoli lifted up her skirt, climbed up the stairs, and stepped into Fengtian Hall step by step.

At this time, the ministers in the court were discussing quietly.

They knew that the eldest princess usually did not go to court easily.

Once she goes to court, her brother sitting on the throne will have a headache.

However, Zhao Hongyin recognized Princess Changle very much and not only allowed her to be involved in the internal affairs of the court.

And he also holds an important official position.

But everyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhao Hongyin, the Qing Emperor, obviously wants to use the eldest princess to balance the power between the eldest prince and the second prince.

The eldest princess, Zhao Ruoli, was seen wearing a floor-length white plum blossom skirt with plum blossoms and a moon-satin cloak embroidered with magnolia and flying butterflies. The skirt was as thin as a mist of silk yarn, tied with a gold belt around her waist, and entered the palace.

.

"Wei Chen has met the imperial brother!" Zhao Ruoli saluted.

Zhao Hongyin smiled and gestured: "Ruoli Pingshen."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Hongyin then asked: "Is there anything important you have to say today?"

Zhao Ruoli took out a booklet, and the eunuch on the side immediately stepped forward to take it.

"Report to Your Majesty."

"This is the land acquisition situation that Wei Chen sent people to inspect in three places in the northeast. The magistrates and county magistrates there worked together with local landlords to annex many people's fields. Among them, Huo Jiuchuan, the magistrate of Youzhou, was the leader.

The situation is very serious and I hope your Majesty will investigate it strictly."

As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince Zhao Ji, who was standing aside, trembled slightly.

Yes, Huo Jiuchuan is his.

The second prince, Zhao Chengqian, also laughed proudly.

The eldest prince Zhao Ji's concubine is from Youzhou. His eldest brother has always relied on the power of officials from the three northeastern regions to compete with him.

Now his aunt's troubles are enough to make his eldest brother drink a pot.

So the second prince Zhao Chengqian immediately took a step forward and said: "Back to my father, it is a time when disasters occur frequently. The whole Daqing needs money, but some officials have no regard for the king's laws and commit such an unforgivable crime of bullying the emperor."

Sin! I think Huo Jiuchuan and other scum should be arrested immediately and sentenced to death!"

Qing Emperor Zhao Hongyin looked at the content on the fold, then looked at the eldest prince Zhao Ji who was bowing his head in silence and said: "Prince Jing, I remember that Huo Jiuchuan was recommended by you."

Zhao Ji immediately knelt down and replied: "Back to my father, I didn't know about this. At first, I thought Huo Jiuchuan was a malleable talent, so I wanted to be a Bole, but I never expected that he would actually be

Such a person! Please give me a chance to catch Huo Jiuchuan and his gang, and I will eradicate these people who are causing harm to Daqing one by one!"

Zhao Hongyin immediately put down the book and asked Jiang Zuodao: "Jiang Shangshu, how much silver is needed for the disaster relief in the three places in the Northeast?"

"About one million taels," Jiang Zuo said anxiously.

"Well." Zhao Hongyin looked at Zhao Ji and said, "Prince Jing, you will be responsible for this one million taels. I don't care whether you go to raid Huo Jiuchuan's house or not, but just collect this amount."

After saying that, he stood up and said, "If nothing happens, just retreat from the court."

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

After retiring from the court, the eldest princess Zhao Ruoli left calmly.

The second prince Zhao Chengqian behind him stepped forward and said: "Chengqian pays homage to the emperor's aunt."
