Princess Jiaojiao arrives, teasing the prince to blush and heartbeat

Lengxi snorted at him unconvinced, "General Liu's words are different, who knows if these victims are really affected by the disaster? Or, are there foreign enemies among them? The current situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang It is not clear, and the authenticity of the memorial is still unknown, so it is not wise to let these disaster victims into the city rashly."

Yu Shiming also answered there and said:

"I also think Lord Xi's words are reasonable. Now that the emperor is seriously ill, it is inconvenient to deal with state affairs, and the treasury door cannot be opened. What results can we study here? Stop them outside the city first, and wait for the emperor to recover. , let’s make a decision!”

Liu Dechang gritted his teeth and looked at Yu Shiming, and replied with hatred:

"Master Yu, I used to respect you as a good official who loves the people like a son, but why have you become so cold-blooded now? Who would like to travel long distances to the capital? There was a flood, but the capital didn’t know it. The local officials made numerous memorials, and the memorials were also suppressed. You actually doubted the authenticity of the identities of these victims? This matter, when the emperor wakes up, this general will definitely report it, and ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly Who on earth is so bold as to deliberately suppress the memorials of officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

As soon as he said this, several household officials present tensed up instantly, and one of them began to sweat on his forehead.

While these people were discussing, Leng Yu didn't make a sound, he just watched coldly and listened quietly.

When he mentioned the memorial, his face turned white and blue, his dark pupils tightened, and he raised his voice and asked:

"Master Zhang, why did the memorial that was supposed to go to the memorial hall come to your household department? Why was the memorial related to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas stopped by your household department? Not only that, but you still concealed it and refused to report it? Are you guilty?"

Seeing the sternness in Leng Yu's tone, Master Zhang shuddered, knelt on the ground, and replied with a trembling voice:

"Go back...Go back to Prince Yu, I don't know about it. Go back...Go back to the next official to investigate this matter carefully. Please...Please give me some time from Prince Yu."

Leng Yu's shrewd eyes flickered a few times, then nodded with a dark face,

"Okay, I will give you three days. If you can't find out the reason within three days, you will be an official. Go home and take care of yourself!"

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand."

"and also……"

Leng Yu looked at Master Zhang who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes flashed, and he continued:

"Since your household department pressured the memorial privately, resulting in Chaoqian being completely unaware of the disasters suffered by the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now there are so many disaster victims coming to the capital to fight against you, your household department must take responsibility for it. This king ordered that the household department All officials above the third rank will each give 1000 taels of silver, and officials below the third rank will each take 500 taels of silver for the temporary resettlement of these victims. As for Mr. Zhang, you should take the lead and donate 3000 taels."

"My lord..."

"Master Zhang has any objections?"

Leng Yu stared at Mr. Zhang with a pair of stern eyes. He was so frightened that Mr. Zhang swallowed back what he was about to say. He hurriedly nodded in response,

"Xiaguan understands that even if I do my best, I will help these disaster victims tide over their difficulties."

"Do your best? This 3000 taels is just a drop in the bucket for you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Prince Yu is right..."

After saying this, Mr. Zhang suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly changed his words:

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan is just a second-rank official. The monthly salary is only 80 taels. Xiaguan... Xiaguan will go back and sell the property to make up the 3000 taels to prevent the victims of the disaster from starving."

Seeing his pitiful words, Leng Yu raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "Okay, Mr. Zhang, go back and make arrangements, and pass on my king's words. If there is no investigation of the private seizure of the memorial within three days, the king will personally send someone to Go and investigate, when the time comes, don't blame the king's subordinates for being ruthless."

"The next official understands, and the next official will do it now."

After leaving these words, Mr. Zhang got up from the ground, and before he had time to wipe the sweat off his forehead, he couldn't wait to run outside. Because he ran too fast, he almost collided with Luo Lan who had just come in.

Luo Lan is not familiar with Mr. Zhang, but Mr. Zhang is familiar with this Princess Yu. He hurriedly nodded his head to make amends.

"Princess Yu, I almost ran into you, I am guilty."

Luo Lan glanced at him, her eyes tightened, and then said softly:

"It's okay, you go slowly."

Seeing that Luo Lan didn't blame him, Mr. Zhang just took a big step and ran away.

The lady came, Leng Yu was the first to greet her, Leng Xi and Yu Shiming frowned at the same time, Liu Dechang also greeted her with a serious expression.

"My lady, why are you here?"

Luo Lan glanced at him, smiled lightly and replied:

"Come and see you."

"Let the little twins take you to the room and wait for me for a while. I'll come to you after I finish my business."

Leng Yu's voice was extremely gentle, Luo Lan also nodded obediently,

"it is good."

After saying that, after she nodded to Liu Dechang, she did not enter the door of the imperial study room, but went to the side room next to it under the guidance of the little twins.

As soon as the door of the ear room was pushed open, the little twin couldn't wait to introduce:

"My lord hasn't slept well for two nights. The disaster victims have made him very distressed. It's good for you to come now. You can persuade the lord more, and you can't let him go on like this. Otherwise, why would you be so hungry? What to do."

"Well, how is the situation of the victims?"

The little twins pulled away the chair by the table, motioned Luo Lan to sit down, and then replied opposite her:

"According to the news from Brother Ling's investigation, there are at least 3 victims who came to the capital this time. If there is no accident, they will arrive in the capital in one and a half days, that is, tomorrow night. Discuss countermeasures with several ministers."

3 people?

Luo Lan secretly took a deep breath,

"3 people? This capital city has a population of only 10 people. If these 3 people break into the capital city, then the capital city will not be in chaos."

"That's right! So the prince is in a panic these days. He has ordered people to build a temporary shelter for the victims of the disaster a hundred feet away from the capital, but there is still a big gap in the money..."

"Have the money from Bai'an Hall and Prince Yu's Mansion been used?"

"That's it, the prince took out all the cash from Prince Yu's Mansion and Bai'an Hall, and there are still some items that the prince has not touched. He said that it was saved by you so hard. He can't move it, and he can't let you live like before. a day to worry about silver."

"Why is he so stupid? Now that I can make money, the imperial court also pays full-term salary to Prince Yu's Mansion. How can we worry about the money? I will tell him later that the previous emperor's reward to Prince Yu's Mansion and some of my jewelry They are all used for emergency, the money is gone, and they can be earned later, and the victims are hungry, so they can do anything.”

"Ugh!"

The little twin still shook his head, and sighed a long time,

"My lord has calculated that even if everything is exchanged for silver, it will only be enough to maintain the food and drink of these victims for three days. This is not a long-term solution!"
