Chapter 102 Tit for Tat(1/2)

Emperor Mingwen is a person who cherishes talent. His eyes looked at Chu Yunning with a little more admiration, and even a little more complex and unclear.

"Aren't you afraid?"

Ordinary people offended Prime Minister Gong and Empress, and they had long been scared to death.

But when Chu Yunning looked at it, there was no word for fear at all.

"Why are you afraid, why aren't you afraid?" Chu Yunning can be tough in front of the queen because the queen is just the queen, and there is still room for some things to turn around.

But in front of Emperor Mingwen, Chu Yunning said that he should show weakness but also show weakness, because Emperor Mingwen is the lord of a country and holds the power of killing.

Can't afford to offend.

Emperor Mingwen raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing her words.

"I believe that the emperor is a wise ruler and will not instigate the queen to kill innocent people."

Emperor Mingwen smiled: "There is no need to flatter me."

"Every word is my heartfelt words." Chu Yunning rolled his eyes silently in his heart, continued to praise him, and continued to grind his hands without idleness.

Emperor Mingwen asked again: "How many children have news?"

“Everything is OK for the time being.”

These concubines are quite obedient, with people guarding food, drink, housing and transportation, and they don’t do anything, so they don’t even go out, which greatly reduces the chances of accidents.

Anyone with a little brain knows

Peace gave birth to the little prince, and the glory and wealth of the second half of his life were preserved.

As long as the little prince was born in the palace, she could take Beibei to Shu, and she was excited to think about it.

"The emperor, the money raised by the Prime Minister and the harem has been delivered." Eunuch Mo lowered his head and held a box in his hand. The box was filled with silver notes, with a large or small amount, and a rough look of at least tens of millions.

Emperor Mingwen glanced at him and said, "Eunuch Mo, I will draw an order!"

"Transfer my order and this disaster relief will be fully responsible. If there is any mistake, if there is no question, the Prime Minister will be killed first!"

After the words were finished, Eunuch Mo was stunned and then quickly went to announce the order.

...

"I'm so proud!" After Eunuch Mo read the imperial edict, Prime Minister Gong's face turned gloomy and ugly.

According to his original plan, no matter who is responsible for this disaster relief, the five million taels of silver will be returned to his pocket.

But the emperor actually issued an order.

The sentence that killing the Prime Minister first is simply putting his heart on the fire and frying it.

He was both angry and angry. He had been an official for more than 30 years and had three dynasties. When did he suffer such grievances?

"Prime Minister Gong, please receive the order." Eunuch Mo said justice.

Prime Minister Gong took over the imperial edict and suppressed his anger and said, "I will accept the imperial edict!"

After thinking about it, he asked unwillingly: "Which minister has the emperor met again?"

He didn't believe the emperor, so he thought of such attention.

A figure was printed in my mind and I shook my head. How could this be possible? It was absolutely impossible to be a little woman.

"Since the Prime Minister left the palace, no minister has entered the palace to see the emperor. The Prime Minister has been worried too much."

Prime Minister Gong knew it and thought that the emperor had a hard wing.

"Well, the Queen is okay now?" Mrs. Gong couldn't help but care about her daughter.

Eunuch Mo hesitated for a moment before saying, "The Empress apologized in Cihe's palace at this moment, and King Xiao is seriously injured..."

A sentence made Mrs. Gong change her face in an instant, and she was annoyed that Queen Gong was confused for a moment and hurt King Xiao.

That's the queen mother's heart.

"Mrs. Gong is worried that the Empress Dowager said that as long as the Prime Minister makes contributions to the disaster relief this time, he will not care about the Queen." Eunuch Mo said with a smile.

If disaster relief is wrong, wouldn’t the queen not be able to save it?

Prime Minister Gong pressed his thoughts, saying that the emperor was beating the Gong family, but he had the final say on whether the disaster relief was good or bad.

Eunuch Mo said slowly: "Prime Minister Don't worry, this disaster relief is not yours alone, there are others to help you. The emperor has already thought of a disaster relief plan for you."

Prime Minister Gong frowned. He said that there was a disaster in the afternoon. Have you figured out a solution now?

He doesn't believe it!

"What kind of disaster relief can the emperor have?"

Prime Minister Gong asked disapprovingly.

"Along the way, digging rivers and canals, each county will set up supervision posts to hire disaster victims who are capable of working, and register them. Each person will pay money every day. If something goes wrong in the county, it will be punished for the crime of the county!"

After Eunuch Mo finished speaking, Prime Minister Gong frowned.

"By the way, the supervision posts of each county are sent by the Imperial Guards to be on duty, and they are rotated every ten days and reported to the emperor every ten days."

Prime Minister Gong frowned and could tie a knot when he heard this. Isn’t this going to force someone to death?

Not to mention recovering five million taels of silver, it would be great if he didn't pay it back.

"This move is exhausting and hurting money. How could the emperor come up with such an idea after all his efforts?"

Although Prime Minister Gong said this, he was completely conquered by Emperor Mingwen's disaster relief strategy.

"Every yearly disaster relief costs the imperial court a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not a long-term solution. If the canal is dug, you will not be afraid of droughts and floods in the future. Although it is a bit difficult, it will be done once and for all." Eunuch Mo repeated Emperor Mingwen's words.

Prime Minister Gong was speechless. In the past, he was responsible for disaster relief and was a job that everyone wanted to do, but now, it was just a hot potato, and whoever did it was unlucky.

"Prime Minister, the emperor said it is not too late, so you can set off immediately."

Eunuch Mo raised his hand and asked someone to raise the disaster relief funds.

A big box was full of trivial silver notes. Prime Minister Gong was so angry that he almost vomited out an old blood.

"The original appearance, receive the order!"

When Eunuch Mo left, Prime Minister Gong's face could not be described as ugly.

"Prince, what does the emperor mean?" asked Mrs. Gong.

Prime Minister Gong was silent for a long time before saying: "The emperor has Zhuge Liang who is helping to come up with an idea. There is a order to recommend the grace in front and a canal in the back. It is really not to be underestimated."

"Who is this person? He dares to go against the prime minister. Don't you want to live?"

Prime Minister Gong snorted coldly: "Who else can you be? Isn't it the Fengyu Heli who had been in trouble with King Xiao, and he destroyed Yihonglou with his own strength. Now Chu Shanggong Chu Yunning, who is now in the palace as an official to take charge of the phoenix seal!"

"How could she be such a weak woman, so she has such great ability? The prime minister must have made a mistake."

Mrs. Gong didn't believe that Chu Yunning had this ability. She met a woman who was arrogant, domineering and vulgar at a banquet a few years ago.

Prime Minister Gong was speechless for a moment. Today, Chu Yunning was neither humble nor arrogant.

I stopped in front of the hall, and there was no fear in my eyes.

Instead, he was very aware of it.

Prime Minister Gong slapped his forehead: "Send a letter to the Empress quickly, don't offend Chu Shanggong again."

"Prince, is that what?"

"The queen is not a match for Chu Shanggong at all. She can only win over and is not easy to offend."

Not to mention how smart Chu Yunning is, he can't offend just by relying on his ability.

If the queen could tolerate it and please Chu Yunning, she would have a legitimate son after she wanted to give birth to a legitimate son so that the queen could sit firmly.

Otherwise, it is in danger.

The Prime Minister's advice came to the palace queen without a word.

Queen Gong was so angry that she smashed the decorations in the room, and her heart kept waving.

"This palace is the mother of a country who is still going to please her and dream!"

Queen Gong's eyes were red, and murderous intent flashed deep in the eyes.

"Empress, you can bear it again. It will not be too late to take back the Phoenix Seal and deal with her when you recover." The palace maid advised.

Queen Gong gritted her teeth. She was stupid. She was deceived by the emperor and Chu Yunning, coaxing away the phoenix seal in her hand, which made her unable to move forward and reached a deadlock now.

"I know that from now on, I will withdraw my meat dishes from this palace. I will eat vegetarian food and pray for the people every day until the disaster relief is over."

Queen Gong calmed down and knew that she could no longer remain silent: "You go and pass on a word to my father."

"yes!"

The disaster relief effect changed significantly one month later.

Emperor Wen of Ming was famous among the people, and at the same time, there were also praises of Chu Yunning.

"Chu Shang Palace is resourceful and can come up with such a good disaster relief plan, which is a blessing for the people."

Concubine Mei looked at Chu Yunning with admiration, and obediently stretched out her wrist and continued to gossip: "My mother asked me to listen to Chu Shang Palace more. The water control happened to be a generation in my hometown. Many people also planned to build a temple for Chu Shang Palace."
