There are also times when I have a fit at Qidian. The voting machine obviously only has four options, so why did it split Xiaoyan in half and put it there? When I looked at the voting results, I had to add it myself...

——————————————————————This is the dividing line of technical failure————————————————

After the frost, the statistical chronology of this year's autumn harvest in various places has been sent to the court one after another. Due to the drought in spring and summer this year, several state capitals have reported disasters early. In some places, there was even a locust plague in the autumn, resulting in no harvest.

The hungry people were scattered in all directions begging for food, and the situation was very serious. In order to gain fame, King Yu donated 30,000 taels of silver in addition to the grain bank for disaster relief in the household department in the name of reducing the government's expenses to calm the people, which won him a lot of praise. King Jing originally

The family was not rich in wealth, and they were raising a large number of orphans in the army. Concubine Jing in the palace was unable to help, so this generosity was not shown and was dwarfed by the others.

At this time, a major case of robbing and killing an escort team occurred in Fuzhou, which alerted the Ministry of Criminal Justice to send personnel to investigate. In the end, the case was solved, the robbed property was recovered, and several robbers were captured, and the case was successfully concluded.

.Originally, this matter was not a small matter, but it was not a big deal. At most, the Ministry of Punishment showed its face for solving the case quickly. Unexpectedly, it was found out in the end that what the escort team was protecting was a case given to King Yu by the Yuezhou Prefecture.

The total amount of the gift is no less than five thousand gold. Yuezhou is one of the states hit hardest this year. People have already starved to death while waiting for relief from the imperial court. The captured robbers said that they were not angry about this, so they risked their lives.

Qi Xian wanted to rob the property and return it to the victims. When the news spread, many people in Yuezhou jointly requested to have the robbers' crimes reduced, which caused an uproar. King Yu was disgraced and disgraced. He came out many times to declare that he did not know.

Regarding Yuezhou's gift-giving, gifts from the state capital had not been confiscated before. Although he tried hard to clear it up, it is difficult to say how many officials in the court would believe that Yuezhou would not send gifts in good years but would send them in bad years.

Because of this scandal, although Emperor Liang did not explicitly accuse King Yu, he asked him to avoid suspicion and not interfere in disaster relief matters, and instead appointed King Jing. King Jing and Shen Zhui, the Minister of Household Affairs, were already on good terms, and the two

They cooperated with each other tacitly, and there was no sense of restraint between them. In addition, they were all very self-disciplined and principled people. After killing and removing several state officials who did not know the direction of the trend and still acted according to the usual routine, they quickly took control.

The situation. Although I dare not say that the errands were done smoothly from top to bottom, compared with the situation in previous years, when only one third of the ten disaster funds went into the hands of the victims, it is really a world of difference. Shen Zhui is a practical man, and the capital city

Unable to sit still, he asked for an order to personally inspect the disaster area in order to ensure that there would be fewer deaths, no riots, a safe winter, and no shortage of crops in the coming spring. Prince Jing exchanged letters with him every day, racking his brains to think of other ways to restore people's livelihood as soon as possible.

.Although Prince Jing was slightly weaker in this regard, Mei Changsu had been in the world for more than ten years and understood the people's sentiments. He also had many people under him who had been working at the bottom for many years. He gave Prince Jing some suggestions and asked him to discuss them with Shen Zhui.

The Lord Shangshu spent some time on the spot inspecting the situation, and found that his opinions were very much the same as those put forward by King Jing. He added a few more, and finally submitted them to Emperor Liang in a written form.

In previous years, major disasters easily led to riots because the victims had no food and clothing, and had nothing to do. After the disaster, they had no way to arrange for spring plowing in the coming year, so they felt desperate. Some small excuses could lead to chaos, which has always been the case.

This was the most troublesome thing for the court. Prince Jing and Shen Zhui’s memorial mainly focused on this. Although there were many provisions, in summary, it was mainly to allow the victims to have enough to eat, and then, based on the actual situation of each state, arrange for people to engage in other side businesses to tide over the famine.

For example, Weizhou near the water is rich in cattail grass, which can be woven into bibs, tea sets, straw mats and other fabrics. It is transported to Beijing by officials and is extremely popular. There are similar industries in other states that can be explored for supplementation. At the same time, taking advantage of the favorable weather,

During the warm months or two, the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court convened to carry out projects such as building roads and bridges, dredging rivers, reclaiming mountains and mining, etc., allowing the strong and unskilled victims to work in exchange for wages. Some states that did not freeze could even continue construction until the spring of next year.

Seed grain for spring plowing in the disaster-stricken areas will be allocated from special funds by the government. Farmers without seeds can come and receive it. All taxes for that year will be exempted. If the following year is a good year, the grain planting fee will be added to the tax and repaid without interest. This way

After all, the victims have benefited more than in previous years, and the court has spent much less money on relief. Most people have something to do. Even if they are not completely self-sufficient, it is still better than going around begging for food and starving or sitting around waiting for rewards from the government.

It's good to survive. If some local officials are flexible and make appropriate arrangements, the suffering in this disaster year can be alleviated a lot.

Since this memorial was approved and implemented by Emperor Liang, it has achieved very good results. Not only has it prevented major disasters and chaos, but the national treasury has not suffered major losses as a result. At the same time, it has rectified the behavior of local officials and set a new example. King Jing The image of being able to fight on horseback and able to govern when dismounted was further established. Shen Zhui also became more and more official and gained more prestige in the court. King Yu tried to find ways to distract him several times, but in the end he failed.

At the end of the year, Si Tianjian reported that there was a red light intruding into Ziwei in the southeast, and the stars were dimming. Emperor Liang then issued an edict, saying that the prince had no virtue. Heaven had warned him, so he deposed the prince as King Xian, ordered him to move out of the capital, and banished him to live in Xian. Prefecture. At the same time, two more beads from King Jing were added, making him a seven-beaded prince together with King Yu.

When this decree was announced to the imperial court, King Yu, who had already received the news in advance, was throwing a tantrum in his study. Basically, everything that could be smashed in the room was smashed, even his most beloved pot of cymbidium. No one was spared, and no one around the storm field dared to approach her. Only Qin Banruo, who had not seen her in action for a long time, still had some courage, and kept standing in the corner of the room watching Prince Yu fuming.

After King Yu had vented all his anger and anger, the red-sleeved talented woman said with a sneer: "As the saying goes, 'Whoever wins the Qilin Talents will win the world,' Langya Pavilion is absolutely right!"

These words penetrated deeply into King Yu's heart like a knife. He turned around suddenly, stared at Qin Banruo with red eyes, and said angrily: "What do you mean by this?"

Qin Banruo's starry eyes were dark and as cold as ice. He raised his elegant chin and gritted his teeth and said: "When Jiangzuo Meilang first entered the capital last autumn, what was your situation like, Your Highness, and what was the situation like for Prince Jing? Now more than a year has passed. Well, what is the situation of His Highness now, and what is the situation of Prince Jing? Comparing the two, isn't it obvious at a glance who has won the Qilin Talent?"

King Yu suddenly took a few steps back and fell down on his chair. He had been suspicious since September when Jingyan was promoted to prince and had been hesitant. Now that Qin Banruo had clearly revealed it, he felt his blood surge and wanted to see him in front of him. Everything was crushed into powder.

"Your Highness, please stop having any illusions. Prince Jing has obtained Mei Changsu. I have confirmed this matter. Your Highness, do you want me to provide evidence?" Qin Banruo stabbed him intentionally. Seeing him lowering his head slumped, he couldn't help but laugh harder. He said coldly, "Speaking of it, this lord of the sect is really amazing. He is decisive, dares to choose people, and can train them. Without his help, when would Prince Jing have earned his current status? Even the situation in the palace has changed. , Concubine Yue lost power, and Concubine Jing came to the throne. She had been silent for these years, and the queen had no eyes for her. Unexpectedly, once she gained power, she would be so difficult to deal with. Under these circumstances, after the princess came back from the palace, she must have Have you told His Highness?"

King Yu gritted his teeth and did not deny it.

Unlike the sharp-edged Concubine Yue, Concubine Jing is like a puddle of soft water. No matter whether it is soft or hard, no method is effective on her. She is neither careless nor suspicious, does not compete for favors, and does not seek wealth. She didn't win people's hearts, and she was meticulous in her etiquette. She only wanted to serve Emperor Liang comfortably every day, and she didn't say any unnecessary words. If Emperor Liang rewarded her, she would accept it. If Emperor Liang rewarded her, she would accept it. If he didn't reward her, she wouldn't beg for it. If the queen treats her well, she will be respectful and respectful. If she is embarrassed, she will be happy to do so. In short, it is like a big ball of cotton. It cannot be crushed or crushed. If you hit it with a punch, it will have no force at all. The queen After dealing with Concubine Yue for more than ten years, I am not as tired as dealing with her now.

"I underestimated this mother and son," King Yu let out a long sigh of resentment. "I thought they were sheep, but they turned out to be two wolves. But it's still too early for me to admit defeat. I can even bring down the prince, but how can I tear him apart?"

Don’t you want to break Prince Jing?”

"His Highness has such ambition, Prajna deeply admires him. However, Mei Changsu is too insidious. If we don't deal with him and his Jiangzuo Alliance first, I'm afraid I won't be able to tear Prince Jing to pieces..."

Prince Yu glanced at her and said: "Take care of him first. That's easy to say. Now that your red-sleeved moves are scattered like this, is it because he took care of them?"

This sentence touched on Qin Banruo's pain point, causing a trace of resentment to flash across his charming face unconsciously, "In terms of this round, I lost. But it doesn't matter if I lose, the key is His Highness's great cause.

We cannot let it be destroyed in the hands of this villain. Doesn’t His Highness want to repay the bad breath of being deceived and used by him?”

Her teasing made King Yu feel angry again. He slapped his palm on the table so hard that it made his palm numb with pain. However, after venting his anger, he had calmed down a lot. Although he was so angry,

His hair was clogged and stuffy, and he kept panting, but he finally gritted his teeth and endured it: "You want me to focus my energy on Mei Changsu to avenge him for destroying your red sleeves. I understand this. When it comes to resentment

, don’t I hate him more than you? But the current situation is not more than a year ago. At that time, as long as Mei Changsu was broken, Prince Jing would have no way out. But now, my seventh brother is no longer a thing in the pool.

, it’s not just relying on Mei Changsu. I can’t make the same mistake again and let him become powerful. Besides, no matter how powerful Mei Changsu is, he is only a counselor after all. The weakness of a counselor always lies in his master. Instead of attacking Mei Changsu first, it is better to take the bottom of the pot.

To deal with Prince Jing, if he has no master and lets him be a unicorn talent, isn't he just like a wild dog that has no one to adopt him?"

When King Yu said his last words, his viciousness was so full that even Qin Banruo couldn't help but be secretly frightened. He calmly asked, "Where do you plan to start, Your Highness?"

"Where?" Prince Yu walked around the study room full of wolf books and sneered, "I don't know Mei Changsu's weaknesses, but Prince Jing's pain points are clear. In the past ten years, he has not

What is the source of his favor? Is he stupid, can't do errands, has he made any mistakes? None. On the contrary, he has repeatedly made military exploits and worked hard, but his father just doesn't reward him. The reason why he doesn't reward him...

…Isn’t it the old case that is so troubling in the minds of the father and son that no one wants to give in…”

Qin Banruo's eyes flickered, and he nodded slowly, "Yes, King Jing's pain point is indeed the case between King Qi and the Red Flame Army."

"I can't even count how many times King Jing rebelled against my father for these traitors. However, after more than ten years of exile, my father got old and didn't want to care about it anymore. King Jing learned the lesson, and no longer wanted to worry about it."

No matter how hard it was, everyone turned the page quietly and kept it in their hearts without mentioning it. But not mentioning it did not mean forgetting or healing. As long as they found a good opportunity to turn it over again, it would still be the deepest love between them.

A crack..."

"This is indeed a good starting point." Qin Banruo agreed very much, "But His Highness wants to reopen this old scar. You can't do it casually. You have to tear it open all at once. The more bloody the better."

"It's precisely because I can't do it at will, so I haven't figured out how to do it yet. It would be great if there is an opportunity now..."

Qin Banruo's black crystal eyes rolled twice and said slowly: "Is there an opportunity... Prajna hasn't seen it yet, but there is a person, and His Highness should find a way to join forces with him..."

"who?"

"The first Xuanjing envoy of this generation is Xia Jiang."

"Xia Jiang?" King Yu's brows jumped, "I'm afraid not... The Xuanjing Division has always had a tradition not to get involved in party disputes. In the past, I had such a fierce fight with the prince, and he didn't..."

"It was before," Qin Banruo said quickly. "It's not surprising that he didn't interfere in the dispute between you and the prince. But now your opponent is Prince Jing. Xia Jiang is not a confused person. He knows very well that Prince Jing and Chi Yan's old friend

Of course, he also remembered who was the chief investigator of the Red Flame Army case. To put it lightly, it was a knot of heart, but to put it more seriously, it was hatred. His Highness thought that Xia Jiang could turn a blind eye and watch Prince Jing approach step by step.

Reserve position? No matter how loyal he is, he still has to consider his future fate, right?"

Qin Banruo played right into King Yu's hands, which made him rub his hands several times involuntarily, and his eyes were a little excited. Xia Jiang's influence on Emperor Liang, and the dark power of Xuanjing Division in various places, for King Yu who is currently greatly weakened,

These are the coals burning in the snow.
