After hearing this, Master Chu Youtian asked, "How do you think the Duke of the country will deal with the victims?"
"Back to the emperor, now that the delay is urgent, we should send food and grass to the capital, and then distribute the relief funds to the victims!" Duke Mu said what he was thinking!
"Have you ever thought about the soldiers at the frontier when you did that?" At that time, Prime Minister Lu, who was worried about the establishment of the capital, also came to the imperial study. After hearing what Duke Mu said, Prime Minister Lu said loudly at the door of the imperial study.
Then he walked into the imperial study and saluted Master Chu Youtian, "Your Majesty is here, I think what Duke Mu said is inappropriate!"
"Prime Minister Lu, please tell me!" Chu Shi Youtian looked at Prime Minister Lu at this time.
Prime Minister Lu said at that time, "Your Majesty, I saw the season of collecting grain. The soldiers in the frontier fortress have always relied on the grain and grass from the capital. Now there is a flood in the capital. The grain and grass should be transported to the border fortress first. Make plans for disaster victims!”
"Prime Minister Lu, although the food and grass for the frontier fortress soldiers are in great demand, there is still a long time before the food and grass are collected. They can be transferred from other places later, but the victims can't wait any longer!!" After hearing what Prime Minister Lu said, Mu Guogong said this At that time, he questioned Prime Minister Lu.
And Prime Minister Lu was not to be outdone, "What Duke Mu said is wrong. Where will we get so much food and grass from? If we can't get so much food and grass in the future, what will the soldiers in the frontier fortress eat? The environment of the frontier fortress is already bad. If the food and grass are not with us, the morale of his soldiers will be greatly reduced. When Xiling takes advantage of the situation, the consequences will be shocking!"
"Then, according to the Prime Minister's wishes, do those victims want to be starved to death?" After hearing this, Duke Mu couldn't help but ask Prime Minister Lu!
How could Prime Minister Lu show weakness? "Does Duke Mu know the consequences of Xiling's attack on them?"
"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be dealt with in advance. The officials of the capital had previously concealed it and failed to report it, which had hurt the people's hearts. Now if the imperial court knew about this, it would ignore it and it would definitely harm them. The hearts of the people of Dongling!" Mu Guogong then said to Chu Shi Youtian.
Prime Minister Lu and Duke Mu each held their own opinions, "But the border fortress does not allow them to seek the land. If the frontier fortress defense line fails, Xiling will be unscrupulous in the future!"
"Okay, okay, what the two ruthless ministers said makes sense. I will definitely come up with a solution to both problems! At this time, the Mingyue Court is discussing it again. Let's retreat to the East first!" Chu Shi Youtian rubbed his legs. Said with his head in his hand.
"Then... then the old minister resigns!"
Duke Mu and Prime Minister Lu looked at each other and walked out of the imperial study!
After the two of them left, Chu Shiyou couldn't help but have a headache. What Duke Mu and Prime Minister Lu said was not the top priority!
Although border fortification is important, the people's support must not be lost. How can we think of a complete strategy? Thinking of this, Master Chu Youtian closed his eyes.
At this time, Yang Zijin and Shuo Ling were walking towards Cining Palace when they saw Eunuch Li chasing after them, "Master Shuo, Master Shuo!"
"What's the matter?" Hearing the sound, Shuo Ling stopped and Yang Zijing was caught off guard and bumped into Shuo Ling's body!
At this time, Yang Zijin felt very embarrassed, but she coughed twice to eliminate the embarrassment!
At that time, Eunuch Li stepped forward and said, "Master Shuohou, the emperor is here to invite you!"
"Okay, he'll go then!" After hearing this, Shuo Ling sneered in his heart. He had long expected that Taoist Master Youtian would summon him because of this matter!
Presumably, firstly, he is the most suitable candidate, and secondly, this matter can test his loyalty. He must have met him last night when he sent the secret guards to steal the token. The two secret guards must have explained it to him.
According to Chu Master Youtian's suspicious temperament, he will definitely suspect that he already knows about the token!
He must have wanted to use this matter as a test. If he found out that he had second thoughts, it would be convenient for him to do something outside!
With that said, Shuo Ling turned around and said to Yang Zijin, "The Queen Mother's side..."
"I'll go, go, the Queen Mother will explain it to her." Before Shuo Ling could finish speaking, Yang Zijin interrupted him and said quickly.
At this time, Shuoling smiled at Yang Zijin, turned around and walked towards the imperial study room with Eunuch Li!
Lan Ruo returned to the harem and felt that the emperor was summoning Prime Minister Lai to inquire about the victims. She remembered whether Prime Minister Lai was responsible for the money used to build the capital!
Could it be that the emperor was questioning him! Lan Ruo always felt that something was good, so he called Xiaotong, the maid beside him, "Go and find Young Master Lan. If I have anything to do with you, please come to him!"
"No!" Xiaotong responded and hurried to find Lan Ruojing!
At this time, Lan Ruojing also came to precede Lan Ruo. As soon as Xiaotong came out, she saw Lan Ruojing walking over there!
After Xiaotong saw it, she quickly said, "Master Lan, the Queen is looking for me."
"I know." Lan Ruo was surprised and walked out of the house quickly!
When Lan Ruo saw Lan Ruo coming in in surprise, she hurried forward. Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly stopped and came to the maid outside the house and said, "Let's retreat first!"
"No!" The maids outside the house bowed and then left the house!
At that time, Lan Ruo quickly asked, "If you are shocked, what happened?"
So Lan Ruojing dragged out the whole issue of the flood in Jiandu!
After hearing this, Lan Ruo couldn't help being shocked, "What did I say? Daddy actually embezzled the money for repairing the dam? How could Daddy do that!"
"Sister, I can't blame dad entirely. Besides, dad didn't deduct everything from Dong Lai!" Lan Ruo was surprised to see Lan Ruo's reaction and said quickly.
Lan Ruo frowned and looked at Lan Ruo in shock, "What did I say? Do I know if the land for the capital is Dongling? This land can harvest rice three times a year! The soldiers at the frontier all rely on the capital for their military rations. ! If there is a flood in Jiandu in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly! What should I do? "
"Sister, dad didn't expect that the dam would be washed away at the beginning of the rainfall. Besides, dad is already thinking of a solution." Lan Ruo was shocked to see Lan Ruo's reaction and continued.
After hearing what Lan Ruojing said, Lan Ruo closed his eyes and said, "Then we have known about the flood in Jiandu for a long time."
"It's all the fault of Princess Qingcheng. She had nothing to do but interfered in the middle. I had already talked to my father, so don't worry. My father has already planned this matter." At this time, Lan Ruojing blamed Yang Zi for all these things. Pretentiousness is there.
Lan Ruojing was talking when Lai Xiang also walked into the room.
When Lan Ruo saw Lai Xiang come in, he hurriedly said, "Dad, why am I so confused? How can I use the money to repair the dam? Our Lan family is not short of that money!"
"Queen, do I think daddy wants to do that? Doesn't daddy do that and reject Fu'er?" Lai Xiang couldn't help but say when he heard his daughter questioning him like this.
Lan Ruo looked surprised after hearing this, and then said, "Dad, if I do that, I will harm Fu'er. If I don't, I will deny Fu'er."
"Sister, how could I say that about my father? If my father does that, then Lan Fu will not be able to secure his position as the crown prince!" Lan Ruo on the side was shocked to hear that Lan Ruo said this and said with a somewhat unhappy face. .
After hearing this, Lan Ruo couldn't help but said to Lan Ruo, "Fu'er has been crowned the crown prince now, why is there any need for that!"
"It's true that Fu'er is the crown prince now, but have you ever thought about it, sister? The third prince is eyeing the throne and trying to win over all the ministers behind his back. Dad can't even use the money to control the officials in Didong! Otherwise, those officials would have stood up to the third prince. If you go over there, even if Fu'er ascends the throne, there will be no one available for you!" After Lan Ruojing finished speaking, he threw back his sleeves!
At that time, Xiang Lai sighed and said, "Queen, in the final analysis, is it all the fault of dad for not handling the matter well? Queen Bu Nao can rest assured that even if the emperor blames Dong Lai, dad will not let him be implicated at this time." Come to us! If not..."
Lai Xiangzheng was interrupted by Lan Ruo!
"Dad, what did I say?" After hearing what Lai Xiang said, Lan Ruo came to Lai Xiang and pulled Lai Xiang's leg and said.
At this time, Lan Ruo was about to say something. When she looked up, she saw Master Lan at the door. Lan Ruo was startled, and then she shouted, "Fu'er."
At that time, Lan Ruojing and Lai Xiang also turned around and looked at the door!
Master Chu Shilan looked disbelieving at this moment.
Then Chu Shilan walked straight to Prime Minister Lai, looked at Prime Minister Lai and said, "Father Shun, Fu'er knows very well that if his grandfather does that, it will be against him, but Fu'er doesn't want to take the lives of those common people just to consolidate his position." Life is a joke. Whether Fu'er can ascend the throne depends on fate. If not, it can be said that Fu'er has no chance of becoming the emperor! "
"Father Shun knows that Fu'er is kind-hearted and the royal family has been ruthless since ancient times. Grandpa doesn't want to see Fu'er being bullied by his peers one day!" "After hearing this, Laihui patted Master Chu Shilan on the shoulder with his leg and said.
Seeing that Master Chu Lan was silent, Lai Kui said one after another, "Don't worry, Fu'er. Grandpa will definitely make this matter averted."
"After this incident has passed, Fu'er and Grandpa will not do such dangerous things again. My father's temperament has always been that he would rather kill someone by mistake than leave someone with second thoughts." After hearing this, Master Chu Shilan swallowed his saliva and said, Then he said.
At that time Laixiang smiled and said, "Father Shun knows, Fu'er is so kind, Queen Yue must be a wise king!" "
"If there's nothing else, Fu'er will retreat to the East." Fu Er then bowed to Chu Shilan and walked out of the house!
After Master Chu Shilan left, Lan Ruo stepped forward and asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"
"When it comes to light, if you can't hide it anymore, you can find a scapegoat!" I saw Lai Xiang said, with a cold look in his eyes!
After hearing this, Lan Ruo turned around and said, "It seems like that's it. Dad, please be careful when doing things and don't show your flaws!"
"Don't worry, Queen, there won't be any mistakes in this matter! He will go east to make preparations." Lai Xiang said and walked out.
Lan Ruo, who was standing by, was shocked when he saw this, and walked up to Lan Ruo to follow, "Sister, I have made a huge mess in front of the emperor about this matter. Little brother, go and assist father!"
"I know what to do." Lan Ruo said at this time.
Hearing what Lan Ruo said, Lan Ruo was shocked and walked out of the house!
At this time, Lan Ruo walked to the chair and was walking eastward. She couldn't help but worry in her heart, hoping that this matter would pass as soon as possible.
Cining Palace.
Yang Zijin walked in and when he saw the Queen Mother, he walked over with a smile and said, "Grandmother, I made you worry about Qingcheng!"
"I know it very well. When the Aijia saw me like that, their hearts were in their throats!" At this time, the Queen Mother looked at Yang Zijin and said angrily.
At that time, Yang Zijing made a circle behind the Queen Mother and said with a smile, "Grandma Huang, I think he is doing well now!"
