Chapter 32 Dare to ask your father-in-law, is Your Majesty happy or angry at this time?
Morning court.
Tai Chi Hall.
Li Sizheng discussed state affairs with the ministers in the court.
Sudden.
The eunuch in close proxies hurriedly walked in.
"Your Majesty, Shu has reported secretly!"
The eunuch, a close servant, presented a memorial to the emperor.
Li Si glanced over.
Under the court, all the civil and military officials were slightly shocked when they saw this scene.
At this time, they knew the truth that being with the king is like being with a tiger, and they were afraid that the emperor would come to another round of cleaning after reading the memorial!
Li Si read the faster and faster. Finally, he closed the memorial and looked at the ministers: "Can you all beloved officials know what the memorial is talking about?"
All civil and military officials were full of fear and bowed together: "I don't know."
Seeing this, Li Si was a little funny and threw the memorial to the eunuch in the neighborhood: "Read it."
"Abide by the order!" The eunuch of the nearby servant cleared his throat and said loudly: "Report to Your Majesty, the disaster relief in Shu has basically been calmed down."
"This disaster relief is the first merit of your Majesty's holy grace."
"The second merit is that King Liang and other princes rushed to the disaster relief site day and night. If the princes had not set an example, stabilized the hearts of the people and maintained the disaster relief order, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"The three achievements are the people in Shu. There are droughts in Shu, and countless casualties. The people still work together under natural and man-made disasters to not forget the Tang Dynasty and finally survive the drought."
"Finally, I beg Your Majesty that although the disaster has been calmed down, the people in Shu were seriously injured due to drought and land was deserted. Chen begs Your Majesty to exempt Shu from the three-year tax to restore the vitality of Shu!"
"The prefect of Shu is reported!"
After the eunuchs in the near future, all the officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief and were overjoyed.
The ministers never expected that the disaster in Shu would be relieved so quickly.
In the memorial of the prefect of Shu, King Liang and other princes made great contributions to this disaster relief.
At that time, when His Majesty sent several princes to Shu to preside over the disaster relief, some ministers came out to dissuade him.
Now when you think about it, your Majesty has a deep meaning in every move.
Li Si looked at the reactions of all civil and military officials.
In fact, a few days ago, the Dongchang spy placed the information on disaster relief in front of the emperor's Dragon Case.
Li Si always cared about the disaster in Shu and ordered Cao Zhengchun to pay close attention to the matter and report to him at any time.
Therefore, the spies from the East Factory have never relaxed their surveillance of Shu.
Disaster relief in Shu was the first decision made after Li Si ascended the throne. No matter what level he was at, no mistake could be made.
As for why, today, I read it in front of the ministers in front of the ministers, I just want the officials to relax.
In Li Si's view, in recent times, people in the court were panicked due to the assassination. At this time, if good news from Shu was heard, it would naturally be a role in boosting morale.
In the court, the ministers were full of excitement and whispered.
Li Si leaned slightly on the dragon throne and said, "Transfer my will to exempt Shu from the five-year tax!"
The prefect of Shu begged the emperor to exempt the tax for three years, but Li Si not only did not withhold it, but instead added it for two years.
For the emperor, this was just a matter of one sentence, but it was a great kindness to the people of Shu.
After this order continues, I don’t know how many people from Shu will thank the Emperor of Tang from the bottom of their hearts for the grace!
"Your Majesty is kind!"
All civil and military officials bowed and said in unison.
Li Si waved his hand and continued, "In addition, the prefect of Shu has made contributions to disaster relief, and the official position will be given one level and a thousand taels of silver. The other officials will be given one hundred taels of silver and a half-level promotion."
"Also, although the disaster in Shu has been calmed down, we still cannot relax our vigilance. The food for disaster relief must be delivered in full, and there must be no one left in the staff of the prefectures in various places!"
"Leave ten imperial physicians to stay in Shu for at least one year to prevent the plague from breaking out again!"
The emperor issued a series of orders.
Since the disaster has calmed down, Li Si will never let him have any accidents again.
Otherwise, wouldn’t the previous efforts be done to the end?
What Li Si wants is foolproof!
Li Si looked down at the ministers in the court and suddenly asked, "Since the disaster in Shu has been calmed down, can King Liang and the others come back?"
The eunuch near the servant immediately said, "Report to Your Majesty, the King of Liang and other princes have been waiting outside the palace!"
"Prince!"
"Abide by the order!"
The eunuchs from the nearby court received the order and went to the palace to pass on the message
Outside the palace.
King Liang and others were waiting silently.
King Xu couldn't help but whisper: "You said, will Your Majesty summon us?"
"Your Majesty has time, so you should meet us?" Unsure appeared on King Bi's face.
Although Your Majesty is busy with all his affairs, it is also a contribution for the restoration of the drought in Shu.
For the sake of this contribution, the emperor should have taken time to meet them.
"Stop talking."
"Your Majesty will decide whether you see us or not. No matter how much you say here, what's the use of?"
"The palace is full of eyes. Even if we are princes, we must be cautious. Otherwise, if you make your Majesty unhappy, you will know what the consequences will be!"
King Liang whispered.
The other princes stopped talking.
Among the Shu people, they still admire King Liang.
Just then!
The eunuch in the nearest servant walked over slowly.
King Liang's face changed slightly, he clasped his fists and said, "Brother-in-law!"
The eunuchs of the recent servants are of no rank and have a low status, and they are even inferior to those of the ninth-rank minor officials.
But even if it is King Liang, when he sees the eunuch in front of him, he must respectfully call him "father-in-law".
The reason is very simple.
Because the eunuch who is close to the emperor is the eunuch who is by his side.
"The King of Liang is serious. How can the little slave bear the King of Liang's voice?" said the eunuch in the near-servant.
"My father-in-law serves Your Majesty. After we wait, we may still need to take care of you." King Liang said with a smile.
King Liang said this, paused for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Dare you asking your father-in-law, is your Majesty angry at this time?"
Although the disaster has calmed down, the emperor should be happy.
But who can guess the emperor's thoughts thoroughly?
Maybe the emperor would not want to see the princes and make such contributions.
The eunuch close-up servant glanced at King Liang and pondered: "You are not happy or angry!"
Afterwards, the eunuch, the nearby servant, led the King of Liang and others into the palace.
King Liang followed the eunuchs in front of each palace and finally stopped in front of a towering hall.
The eunuch in the nearest servant bowed to the hall: "A few princes, your majesty are waiting inside now."
"Get in now."
"Don't let Your Majesty wait too much."
"Remember, without His Majesty's order, don't look up at His Majesty!"
The eunuch in the near future gave a few more instructions.
King Liang and others sorted out their clothes, took a deep breath, and stepped into the Tai Chi Hall.
Following the golden imperial road and passing through the civil and military officials on both sides, King Liang finally stopped in front of the ministers, knelt on the ground with a thunderous sound, and bowed deeply to the figure sitting high on the dragon throne and the supreme and noble figure:
Chapter completed!
