After Chu Xuanchen returned to the Li Palace, he told Yun Ruoyue what had happened in the court today.
Yun Ruoyue was very moved when she heard Taifu Han's admonishment with death.
She said: "Taifu Han really has the courage to daring to remonstrate with death. This shows me the character and integrity of the literati. But I didn't expect Emperor Hong Yuan to be so stupid that he was so obsessed with the elixir."
Chu Xuanchen squeezed his fists fiercely, "Nowadays there are frequent floods in the south of the Yangtze River, droughts in the northwest, and locusts in the border areas. In the end, they had to be reduced to gangsters. After becoming gangsters, they went around robbing houses and doing evil in order to survive, leading to increasing turmoil in the country. However, the emperor was addicted to drinking and did not ask the world. If this continues, the situation will be more serious."
Upon hearing this, Yun Ruoyue was very worried.
She said: "If the emperor does not save the people, then we will find a way to save them, but there are too many people affected by the disaster and our ability is limited. We still need the emperor to open the treasury and allocate funds for disaster relief."
Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Yes, no matter how strong an individual is, it can't be as powerful as a country. Now the emperor can’t listen to anyone's words, maybe Concubine Xue's words are somewhat useful. Yue'er, don't worry, I will let Concubine Xue's advice. The emperor, let the emperor allocate funds for disaster relief."
"Well, we are now also thinking of ways to raise funds for disaster relief, as much as we can save." Yun Ruoyue said.
"Yeah." Chu Xuanchen took a deep look at Yun Ruoyue, and he knew that he hadn't read the wrong person.
Yue'er has the world in his heart and the common people. Having such a lady is the greatest happiness in his life.
-
Early the next morning, without having to go to court, Chu Xuanchen took Mo Li to inspect the surrounding disaster areas.
As soon as he entered the dynasty, Taifu Han took the lead to educate Emperor Hongyuan to stop obsessing with the elixir, and ask him to manage the country well and solve the current disasters and rogue problems.
Not only that, but Han Taifu was angry and criticized Emperor Hongyuan fiercely.
He criticized Emperor Hongyuan for his "fascination with elixir", "indulging in wine", "arrogant luxury and prostitution", and "regardless of the common people."
When Emperor Hongyuan heard these words, he was suddenly angry.
After he yelled at Taifu Han angrily, he didn't even go to the court, and retreated early in anger!
When all the ministers saw this, they whispered and panicked.
Taifu Han and others were also very disappointed, but they would never give up, and would continue to persuade Emperor Hongyuan to make corrections.
When Rui Wang saw this situation, a chill flashed in his eyes, and he came to the Guangming Palace of Emperor Hongyuan.
After walking into Guangming Palace, King Rui saw Emperor Hongyuan was drinking and having fun with several concubines who had just entered the palace, he hurriedly raised his eyebrows, and said, "You can see your father."
Emperor Hongyuan took a cold look at King Rui, let go of the concubine he was holding in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Second, are you here to persuade me too?"
A hint of calculation flashed in the eyes of King Rui, and then made a very sincere look, saying: "Father, you are not wrong, why do you want to persuade you?"
Emperor Hongyuan squinted his eyes and took a look at King Rui. He saw that King Rui looked pious and had a good attitude. He was not as disgusting as Taifu Han and others. Then he said to his concubines: "I have something to say with King Rui, Concubine, you guys. Go down first!"
"Yes, the emperor." After the concubines finished speaking, they hurriedly stepped back.
After the concubines retreated, only Emperor Hongyuan and King Rui were left in the hall.
Upon seeing this, King Rui hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, don't be angry about what happened just now, lest you get angry."
Emperor Hongyuan looked at King Rui tentatively, "Oh? Ruochen, what did you say about what was in the hall just now?"
King Rui knew that Emperor Hongyuan was testing him, and said hurriedly: "Tao Fu Han is simply rebellious. Father, you are the ruler of the country. How can he criticize you in public?"
When the Emperor Hongyuan saw that King Rui was biased towards him, there was a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes.
He said: "You're right, Taifu Han, an old man, relied on being my teacher, and took the lead in accusing me, and didn't put me in my eyes! It happened that so many people followed him, this person is really annoying!"
As he said, he rubbed his eyebrows irritably.
A hint of shrewdness flashed in the eyes of King Rui, and he immediately said, "Father, let your anger go. Think about it, only Han Taifu, how can they have so much courage? Erchen suspected that someone was behind the incident, so they were So bold."
Emperor Hongyuan looked at King Rui coldly, "You mean someone instructed Taifu Han behind?"
King Rui nodded: "It should be. Yesterday, when I retired from the court, I saw with his own eyes that Taifu Han and others were talking to King Li. They seemed to be very familiar with each other."
Emperor Hongyuan squinted his eyes unhappily, "Could it be that the man who instigated Taifu Han behind the scenes was King Li?"
Rui Wang said: "I have no evidence yet, but King Li is the most suspicious. Taifu Han always favored King Li in the court, and opposed his father for his sake. In addition, Taifu Han was the veteran who was most loyal to the first emperor. Maybe Han Taifu still has the first emperor in his heart. He probably has been dissatisfied with you a long time ago, so he will join the ministers to criticize you."
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he only felt a chill in his back.
He coldly squinted his eyes, put his hands on his back, and said sharply: "This Han Bing is simply arrogant. I have also heard that they often criticize me in private, saying that I am innocent, harming the country and the people, and have been destroying my reputation!"
"A lot of money, accumulated destruction and destruction, coupled with Han Bing's influence. Let him continue to criticize this way, the majority of the people will definitely be deceived by him, and they will think that I am a faint king!"
When Rui Wang saw Emperor Hongyuan's emotions being stirred up, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes.
He nodded and said: "Father, Han Bing is simply uneasy and kind, trying to make a bad plan. All this is led by him, and we should kill the thieves first. We should kill them. As long as you kill Han Taifu, you can frighten others, so that no one will be there. Dare to criticize you again."
Emperor Hongyuan rolled his eyes sullenly, "Kill a hundred?"
King Rui said: "Yes, and Father, this matter has nothing to do with King Li. Now Taifu Han is already the right-hand man of King Li. If you let them unite, I am afraid it will endanger your country."
"Father, the big troubles must be removed as soon as possible to avoid endless harm. Killing Han Bing can shock Chu Xuanchen and his party members, so that no one will dare to disobey the father."
Emperor Hongyuan took the beard captive and said, "But Han Bing is very famous and respected. He has many students, and a bunch of pedantic students are attached to him. If I kill him directly, I'm afraid the people of the world will criticize him."
In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with Han Bing.
He always wanted to kill Han Bing, but he was afraid of being cast aside by the world.
Rui Wang said: "Father, there is a way for my son to get rid of Han Bing, and the world dare not criticize the father."
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes deeply, "Do you have a way?"
