"But...there is no such precedent in all dynasties. Will it not be handled well and cause public anger?"

The official lying next to Xia Yingtian couldn't help but speak.

One of the young officials kneeling on the ground thought for a while and then said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have been poor since I was a child, and the people in the village are all honest farmers. According to my experience with poor people, if they are really about to starve to death, as long as they can give them a mouthful of food, what will they do?

Everyone is willing to do it.

As long as they are honest and responsible farmers, they will never be dissatisfied. If there are really dissatisfied people, I think we can investigate them carefully, and they may be gangsters fishing in troubled waters or people from other countries."

Poor people use all their strength just to survive.

In their village, there are many people who sell their children and daughters in order to survive, let alone just to do some manual labor.

It's not a big deal at all.

"What Zimu said is true, and I also think so."

"I also agree."

Young officials promoted by Chu Yun appeared one after another.

Xia Yingtian and others' faces turned green and white.

How could they not know that as long as the poor are given food to eat, they can do whatever they are told.

They were just unwilling to let Chu Yun lead them away.

Under Chu Yun's strength, disaster relief and river excavation were carried out at the same time.

And the young purchasing official was given a Shangfang sword.

Whenever purchasing grain, if you encounter a merchant whose price exceeds 20% of the average price of rice grain before the disaster, all the rice grain will be confiscated.

If there is passive resistance and anyone who closes his shop and refuses to sell food will be shot to death, and all warehouse inventory in his shop will be immediately searched.

And all the three tribes were assigned to dig river channels.

If there are reports of people deliberately hoarding large amounts of rice without selling it, once verified, they will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins.

Under successive high-pressure policies.

The aristocratic families behind the merchants cried heartbrokenly.

The excavation of the river channel is in full swing.

Disaster relief matters were solved.

There is no need to go to court again.

Therefore, Ying Mo started to live a life of being obsessed with beauty again.

But the entire capital was undercurrent.

Even Yingchun noticed something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, you said that it has been so long and the Queen's side is still so quiet and the adults have stopped making trouble. Is there anything we don't know about in the meantime?"

Chu Yun ate the iced lychee carelessly, "Well, maybe."

"My dear, aren't you anxious? What if, what if they unite? Although we have some people in the court, they are all weak scholars and not even a general.

Not to mention, there are hundreds of thousands of troops at the border, as well as the imperial army and garrison in the capital."

Yingchun felt completely unsure.

What the Empress relies on now is nothing more than using the bodies of the Empress and the Emperor to coerce the Emperor.

If the emperor wakes up one day, he would rather die than become this foolish king.

Then what will the empress do?

As the minion of the evil concubine who brought disaster to the country, what should I do?

"You are right." Chu Yun nodded, "I still have less than an army in my hands."

Yingchun:......

So, Madam, do you really have a way to get some military power?

"Then, what should we do?" Yingchun asked.

"Recently, we have sent more manpower to find the rice storage areas of those merchants. If we find them, we will report them."

"Ah?" Yingchun was a little confused.

Aren't we talking about military power? Why are we talking about grain harvesting again?

Although everyone knows that those big merchants are affiliated with major aristocratic families.

But can you gain military power by forcing the noble families?

Yingchun couldn't figure it out, but she saw that Chu Yun didn't want to say more, so she was sensible and didn't ask any more questions.

-

Xia Mansion.

Xia Yingtian, who finally sent away the crying and fussy Bu, sat tiredly at the table and hammered his head.

He's been having a hard time lately.

First, his eldest daughter robbed his younger daughter of his favor in front of the emperor, and then he was pinned down on a stool by the rebellious girl.

All face and pride were lost.

What's even more uncomfortable is that he almost emptied his entire family in order to pay tribute.

After returning the power of Zhongfu to Zhao, it was difficult for him to take a copper plate from Zhao's hand.

The one hundred thousand taels of silver last time had emptied all his savings, and he could barely make it with Bu's private money.

I originally thought that the rice grain I had collected earlier would at least stop my losses somewhat.

As a result, Xia Qingyan, that rebellious girl, wanted to kill them all.

"Master, our last two places where grain was stored have also been reported. Now the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Revenue has personally taken people there to take inventory." The boy hurried to report.

"Bang." Xia Yingtian slapped the table directly.

"This rebellious woman."

"Where is the emperor? Isn't there any reply yet?"

"This... Master, our people still can't get close to the emperor. The emperor himself... doesn't take the initiative to contact our people. Even Eunuch Wu may not have appeared for a long time."

Xia Yingtian narrowed his eyes fiercely.

"Very good, then I can't blame you."

It's not like he hasn't thought about it. If the emperor really likes his eldest daughter, he won't be able to accept it at all.

After all, no matter how unhappy you are, it is still your own blood.

It would be fine as long as the younger daughter's child is a prince.

As a result, this rebellious girl didn't regard him as her biological father at all.

That's no wonder he is.

And the emperor.

I thought it was good before.

I didn't expect that he would be such a lustful and dim-witted person.

Since he cannot be the emperor well, then let his grandson come.

All over the capital, various aristocratic families and officials had had enough of Chu Yun.

In addition, one's own interests are harmed.

As soon as Xia Yingtian said he wanted to start an uprising, he received support from all the aristocratic families, both covertly and openly.

However, before they could convince the commander of the imperial army, the commander of the capital garrison, and the generals guarding the border.

The door of Xia Mansion was kicked open with a bang.

The newly appointed Minister of Justice rushed in with a clatter.

A while of rummaging through boxes and cabinets.

Finally, I found the secret letters between Xia Litang and Xia Yingtian in the study.

Evidence of intent to commit rebellion.

Under the horrifying looks of Zhao and Xia Chongshun, Xia Yingtian was imprisoned.

This rebellion is over before it even begins.

Xia Yingtian and a group of participating ministers were imprisoned, and Xia Litang was also unforgivable.

He was taken into custody in Fenglin Palace and awaited his fate.
