Early in the morning, the Censor Du Lin met Gu Gong, a doctor from Taizhong on his way to court. The two walked towards the palace together. Du Lin said as he walked: "The price of grain soared in the past two days, reaching 5,300 coins per stone. Your Majesty actually ordered the ease of grain prices and follow the market. This is a big mistake. This is a chaotic country policy! None of the close ministers around Your Majesty can share the worries of the king. They are all snobbish villains who only care about flattery and be burying their heads! As the Censor, he is responsible for supervising all officials, and he is also responsible for impeaching Your Majesty's faults. Today, I will ask Your Majesty to take back his life!"

Gu Gong knew that Du Lin was upright and could not speak, so he advised him: "Du Du, don't be too extreme. Your Majesty is young after all, and he has never experienced the world. People are not sages, so who can do nothing? Besides, Your Majesty is only sixteen years old! His temperament is not yet determined, so don't cause trouble for this!"

Seeing Du Lin's appearance, he was very angry. After a while, he would not necessarily say anything too much. The young emperor was young and angry. In his rage, he would probably be punished. Therefore, Gu Gong reminded Du Lin in advance.

"Du's actions depend on his sincere heart. What's my fear?" He snorted, shook his sleeves, and went straight forward.

"Your Majesty is afraid he will be criticized for doing this!" At this time, Zheng Shen was also secretly worried for the emperor.

Even if the food price limit cannot be kept, it shows the emperor's attitude, which is to ask the people to eat affordable food. But now the order is directly relaxed, and the charge of soaring grain prices is attributed to the emperor. Even if the food price has risen to the skyrocketing market, the people will not think about it, just thinking that the emperor made them unable to afford food.

Although Your Majesty made it clear to him, Zheng Shen was still very suspicious. He didn't know if this move worked. If there was a mistake, Your Majesty's prestige would be seriously damaged. The super high level of support he had accumulated through the three chapters of disaster relief and law may collapse across the board.

But when Zheng Shen raised his suspicion, the emperor said, "I am all out of public opinion and have a clear conscience! I cannot watch the people under my rule starve to death, so I can only give it a try! Ziyuan, don't worry, I am the emperor, God will bless me!"

Zheng Shen looked at the calm and determined face of the little emperor, and his eyes were a little hot. His Majesty was just a child. He was only sixteen years old, but he had to bear such a heavy burden. However, he was never crushed. No matter what problems he encountered, he would face difficulties and never consider his personal gains and losses.

In fact, Zheng Shen thought of the emperor's realm too high. Of course, Liu Yu considered his personal gains and losses, and this was his priority. The life he picked up was his own. Of course, he had to try his best to live well and not get a boxed lunch early.

Liu Yu was so persistent, but he felt that his method was feasible. Although no one had tried it before, someone had used it in later generations and had a great success. Otherwise, how could Liu Yu know about it?

The food price limit was issued just two days ago, and the price of grain rose sharply, from the listed 800 coins to 500 coins. Yesterday it rose to 5300 coins. It was basically the price of the black market a while ago, and now it has been gained openly.

The only difference is that every grain store shouted that there was no grain and the edict was issued. It was very magical. All grain stores had grain, and the store was full of food. As long as someone bought it, it would be as much as you would need.

Unfortunately, the transaction was very light at this price, and the people were still holding on. The food was still dependent on the food stored at home. Those who had no food had to go to the disaster relief site in the city to drink a bowl of porridge and half a bowl of sand porridge.

Although the porridge is thin and easy to hurt teeth, it is at least a serious porridge that can be drunk and can hold back your life, so that the people will not starve to death.

Today is the day of court. The ministers gathered from Shangguanli's residence and from all directions of Chang'an City to Changle Palace, and people flocked to the front hall.

Under the guidance of the eunuchs, the ministers entered the hall, each with serious faces, standing up and waiting for the emperor to arrive.

As the eunuch's cow head shouted for a long time, the little emperor wore a black robe and a crown, walked up to the hall step by step, and everyone bowed down.

The little emperor sat steadily behind the imperial desk. The upper part of his face was blocked behind the hanging bead curtain, and only the lower part of his lips were seen.

After the ministers returned to their posts, Du Lin almost didn't stick his legs to the table, immediately stepped out and shouted: "Your Majesty, food is the most important thing for the people! Now the food shortage of the three auxiliary food is in a state of stability, ensuring supply, and allowing the people to get their food. But Your Majesty releases the price of grain, causing the price of rice and grain to soar. The unscrupulous merchants applaud, and the people suffer in a great way. If this continues, disasters will arise. I dare to ask Your Majesty to take it back!"

These words were like throwing a big firecracker among the crowd, which made everyone's ears buzzing. They stayed there for a while, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, the Sili School Captain Bao Yong also stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, what Censor Du said is very true. Food is the foundation of the country. You must not let its price grow rapidly. People cannot afford to eat food and live, and they will inevitably cause chaos. I ask Your Majesty to take it back and make a life!"

The Censor Zhongcheng also stood up and shouted: "I will discuss it! This move will damage Your Majesty's name of benevolence and shake the foundation of the Han Dynasty. It is really a bad policy of chaotic country. Please take it back and make your Majesty's life!"

He said it even more ruthlessly, directly defined it as a chaotic country and evil politics, claiming that it would shake the foundation of the country. This hat was too big for even the emperor's head to bear it.

These three people took the lead, and there were kneeling down again, shouting: "I'm going to discuss!"

"Please take back your life!"

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done!"

"If you do this, your Majesty's reputation for benevolence will be lost, and the people's hearts will be lost!"

"If Your Majesty does not take back Cheng's life, we will kneel down and die here!"

The opening posture was a bit scary. Originally, the ministers had to report the matter, and they all went out to finish the list. Anyone who had any opinions would mention them one by one, and the order was not chaotic. Everyone basically kept calm, but today it was a bit disorderly, as if there was no discussion at all, and it was just changed.

This is also related to the rules of procedure in the court.

In order to improve the efficiency of decision-making, the emperor always discussed matters in China and North Korea, and discussed with several close ministers in China and North Korea. Most of the people in the court had no suggestions and decision-making power, and could only see the results. The ministers only knew about it when the imperial edict was promulgated and implemented.

If this matter was discussed in the court, I am afraid that the ministers would have had a stir. Unless the emperor was extremely tough and arbitrary, it would not be possible.

At this time, half of the ministers had already knelt down, and the ground was covered in darkness, making people dizzy.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "What do you mean by yourself? Have you forgotten the order of the superiority and inferiority of the ruler and his ministers, and are you trying to force Your Majesty?"

No one expected that the Confucian ministers ignored the superiority and inferiority of the superiority, and the Taoist Feng Yan actually stood up to maintain the ritual of superiority and inferiority promoted by Confucianism.

Feng Yan said: "The great way is abandoned, there is benevolence and righteousness, wisdom and wisdom, great falsehood, the six relatives are not harmonious, filial and kind, the country is in chaos, and there are loyal ministers. Your Majesty devotes himself to food shortage, works hard and seeks a way for the people to survive, benevolence and righteousness are in his heart, so why do you always use benevolence and virtue to always talk about it? You have objections to state affairs, and you can advise in the court. Everyone discusses that Your Majesty has his own saints. However, if you force Your Majesty in this way, should you use this bright world as a chaotic world and want to gain the reputation of loyal ministers?"

A censor named Zhang was furious when he heard this, rushed over, smashed Feng Yan with a tablet, and shouted, "You little doctor who preached, you actually turned against the important officials of the court. Do you know the etiquette of superiors and inferiors?"

The court was a little confused for a moment. Some people were kneeling down and shouting, asking His Majesty to take back Cheng's life. Some people were shouting Feng Yan, rolling up their arms and sleeves to beat him up.

At this moment, a thunderous voice suddenly shouted, "Shut up the fuck! Who dares to talk nonsense anymore? I'll chop him up now!"

The censor Fan Chong walked up and shouted at the ministers who knelt on the ground: "You are all people who are well-read and knowledgeable and have literary talent, why are you so uneasy? You can't be as good as me, a illiterate and rough man! Your Majesty is so wise and smart, and he sets no limit on the price of grain. You say that your Majesty is wrong, then you have to explain your reason carefully. Your Majesty is not an unreasonable person. If you speak reasonably, why would your Majesty not consider it? Before you even said anything, you said together that Your Majesty is wrong, as if you are all smarter than Your Majesty! You also said that Your Majesty will do whatever you want if Your Majesty doesn't take back your life. What are you doing? Is this what your Majesty should submit? Is this what the minister should do? You must kill them!"

He turned around and shouted at the guards outside the hall, "Your Majesty is kind and I can't bear to deal with you. I'll deal with you for your Majesty. Come and give me a knife! I'm going to cut all these turtle sons!"

The guards outside the hall did not dare to accept his words, but just shrank back.

Fan Chong was tall and mighty, and he was quite majestic. In addition, he had been in charge of the Red Eyebrow Army for many years and was famous for his reputation. All the ministers were a little afraid of him. They were shocked by his momentum and slowly calmed down.

The emperor then spoke: "The relaxation of grain prices is my careful consideration. If you don't do this, you can't spend the famine. Since you don't like this, you can go back and write a memorial to let me see your principles. Retreat the court!"

He stood up, and without looking at his ministers, he turned around and left.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense to these people. If he debated in court, he would not understand it for three days and three nights. These ministers were all cultural people. They were more powerful than the other ones and were particularly good at finding faults with others. But if they were allowed to accomplish their own problems, they would not be able to do anything and only talk.

This is also the reason why he is unwilling to make decisions at the court meeting. If he is inefficient, there will always be someone leading the rhythm.

Aren’t they knowledgeable? Then let them all go home to write articles, write thousands of words of memorials, express their principles and literary talents. When they try their best to write them, they will throw them aside and burn the fire! Liu Yucai has no time to read them!

At this court meeting today, he didn't expect Feng Yan and Fan Chong to stand up to support him, especially Fan Chong. The court scene turned into a son-in-law and acted like a crazy person.

Speaking of which, both of his father-in-laws were very affordable. Not only did he get the huge family business of the Red Eyebrow Army, but they were still helping him. One was expanding territory for him outside, and the other was standing up for him inside.
