Although he had not seen him, the shock brought to the court by this sentence was far beyond the reach of the eunuch and the guard.

As everyone knows, Her Majesty the Queen is old and sick, and has blindly pursued the immortal path in recent years. Her body has been falling down again and again, and I am afraid she has not had a few years to live.

The three princesses intervened in the government under this situation, and the power of the court and the Chinese government had already been divided up by them, forming a three-legged balanced situation.

As the powerful candidate for the next queen, the third princess's identity at this time is not as simple as a princess.

It is not certain that everyone worships this time, and they will be the queen of the Han and Tang dynasties in the future...

"Your Highness has a noble status, but do you know what the refugees outside the city eat?"

A beautiful figure appeared by the window on the fourth floor. She held a tea set in her hand and pecked her lightly, "I heard from the prefect that two granaries in the west of Hebei City were opened in Jinling to make porridge to fill the stomachs of the victims."

"There are indeed many porridge sheds outside Jinling City, but they are all made of rice bran and water plants." Xi Lian shook her sleeves, stretched out her lotus arms, pointed to the officials below, and smiled and said, "This is equivalent to the porridge for pigs. I would like to ask all the officials in the building, can you eat it?"

Then she looked up at the figure with disdain and asked, "Can your highness eat?"

This question made the little eunuch unable to help it anymore, and accused him angrily: "Shut up! Dalits dare to look at Feng Jia directly? Do you know what sluts are you asking?"

Two sabre guards rushed to the stage and hit her popliteal fossa left and right, causing her to kneel down with a plop.

The little princess put down the teacup with a "call" and sighed and said, "So your petition for the people means this?"

"What do you think? Honghuaer was born in northern Hebei. When I was young, I saw the tragic situation of war outside the border and the people living in poverty. Back then, my father and I went south to seek a way to survive in order to avoid the war. Finally, we arrived in Yangzhou. There were seven or eight out of ten people. The only remaining people had to go through the torture and torture of cruel officials. There were less than half a year of those who could make a living."

Although Xi Lian knelt on the ground, she raised her head fearlessly and said, "I thought I would have forgotten these things in Yangzhou in the past few years. Now I see the miserable situation of the refugees again, and I really can't ignore them."

“Haha, interesting.”

A crisp laughter came from the upper floor, and the princess behind the window also had a hint of playful voice, "The way of a knight, petitioning for the people, your ideas and names sound nice, but unfortunately, in my opinion, it really makes people laugh."

Seeing that she was dissatisfied with her words, Xi Lian was shocked and angry, "I wish I wouldn't understand your highness's laughter."

"The refugees have the troubles of refugees, and the people in power naturally have the troubles of those in power... You only know that everyone wants to eat white rice, but you don't know that a small amount of white rice mixed with rice bran and water plants can make an extra bucket of porridge. In other words, how many more people can this 'pig food' save? How many more days can a person live? In your opinion, is life important, or is it important to eat well?"

The princess continued to take a sip of tea and asked, "Let's take a step back, whether it's a refugee or a disaster, do you know why the team of these refugees will grow bigger and bigger whenever there are natural disasters and man-made disasters?"

"I……"

"I don't know, then I will tell you. These refugees went south and rolled across the prefectures along the way like locusts. On the way, they dug up other people's fields and rice, burned their houses to keep warm at night, and even more, they even occupied other people's good women and forced themselves to turn the virtuous and virtuous people into disaster victims. Therefore, the team of refugees will go more and more, and they will not be able to stop until they are in front of a big city like Jinling with high walls."

Xi Lian's expression was stagnant and she felt a little dizzy. After the three princesses' remarks, she couldn't tell whether what she was doing was right or wrong.

"If you only start from your own perspective, and think that the heroic path you are taking will eventually make the road narrower and narrower. Even if you kill me, will the refugees be resolved? No, you will only turn those refugees into mobs and attract troops to siege and kill them."

Xi Lian finally understood this time. She thought that what she did was natural and it turned out that everything belonged to her own fantasy.

When the princess said this, she seemed to have finished her interest. "It is difficult to achieve great things in a narrow-minded way, but she has the ambition to die and her courage is commendable. You have sacrificed your life to convey the wishes of the people, and I have heard it."

Xi Lian looked up again, and hope was rekindled in her eyes. This highness... seemed to be completely different from the emperor's dog official in her perception. Then wouldn't she believe her words?

"I will stay in Jinling City for a week. During this period, I will promise to deal with the refugees." The princess said this and said, "But if you assassinate the royal family, your crimes should be punished. If you don't kill you, you will be confused about the rules of the legal system. Are you convinced?"

"I am convinced! Your Highness promised to give refugees a place to go, and I will die without regrets!"

Xi Lian snatched the knife from the guards on the side, put it on his neck, and smiled with tears in his eyes: "It is a blessing for the Han and Tang dynasties to have a royal family like His Highness."

With a backhand stroke, blood splattered everywhere, and the hot blood poured all over the guards around him.

"Your Highness is wise! Your Highness is wise!"

An official with gray hair bowed in the court. Liu Ruohuan looked familiar in the elegant seat and remembered that this middle-aged woman, who seemed to be a colleague of her mother.

Both of Jinling Ministry of Revenue, I feel so grateful that I should be the official responsible for the disaster relief this time.

"I have watched enough of this drama today. I am exhausted, so let's just break up."

~

Liu Ruohuan and Lin Yaxin and the others came out of Jubaozhai and rushed back to the restaurant where they settled. It was almost at night.

The events during the day brought great shock to the three of them. I thought I was just going to the restaurant to support me, but I didn't expect such a big change to happen here.

In the living room, Liu Ruohuan sat on an octagonal round pier, and then remembered what Ning Keer came to him to tell him.

"By the way, I heard Keer say, you told me the clues about the theft case?"

When Lin Yaxin heard him ask about this, she shook her head with a wry smile, "I had heard that Jubaozhai gave me silver. These days, the spies from the Cao Gang sent me news that they had not seen a ship carrying silver. I thought there was something behind this, and I guess that Jubaozhai's silver origin was not right."

"You mean, do you think the silver they gave was the lost treasury silver?"

"Yes, the young master may not be very clear. The 800,000 taels of silver is extremely heavy. Even if it is placed in different carriages in batches, it may have to form a spectacular convoy."

Lin Yaxin continued to say: "It is absolutely impossible for such a large convoy to go out of the city gate... Therefore, if you want to transport the silver out of the city, you may only have to go through the water route, so I contacted the Caogang, which manages the water transportation."
