Nirvana In Fire - Chapter 114

After the frost, the statistical chronology of autumn harvests 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 reported the disaster early. In some places, the locust disaster occurred even in autumn, and even the grains were not harvested. The hungry people were begging for food.

In order to earn fame, Yu Wang, in addition to the food and silver relief in the Hube Department, also donated 320,000 silver to the public in the name of reducing the cost of the home, and won a praise.

King Jing was originally not a rich family, and he had a large group of orphans in the army, and Jingfei in the palace was also unable to help him.

It was at this time that a major case of robbing the dart team occurred in Fuzhou, which alarmed the investigation of the criminal department. Eventually the case was broken, the robbed property was recovered, and several robbers were caught and the case was successfully closed.

Originally, this matter was not small, but it was not too big. At most, it was because the Criminal Department quickly exposed its face for solving the case.

I didn’t expect to find out in the end that this dart team was protecting the ceremony given by the prefecture of Yuezhou to Yu Wang, totaling no less than five thousand gold.

Yuezhou is one of the worst-hit disaster states this year. In the process of waiting for the relief of the court, people have already starved to death. Those arrested robbers said that they were not in danger, so they took risks and wanted to rob the property. , Scattered back to the victims.

When the news spread, many people in Yuezhou ordered to reduce the crime of robbers, and they made a lot of noise. They made the honorary king disgraced and sullen his face. He came out many times and declared that he did not know about the gift-giving from Yuezhou. Ceremony.

Although he tried hard to make it clear, it was hard to say that some of the court ministers believed that Yuezhou would not send gifts during the Fengnian year but instead of sending them in the disaster year.

Because of this scandal, Emperor Liang did not expressly blame the King of Honor, but he let him avoid suspicion and should not intervene in disaster relief matters, and reassigned King Jing.

Jing Jing and Hushang Shangshu Shenchai had a good relationship. The two cooperated with each other and had no feeling of restraining each other. In addition, they were very self-disciplined and very principled people. They killed and removed a few unknown wind directions. After the customary state officials, they quickly controlled the situation.

Although I dare not say that doing errands from top to bottom is as clean as water, but compared to the situation in the past years when the disaster-hit silver had only three points into the hands of the victims, it was really heaven and earth.

Shen Chai is a doer. He ca n’t sit still in the capital. Please invite his dear relatives to patrol the disaster-stricken area to make sure there are fewer dead people, no riots, a safe winter, and no shortage of spring cultivation in the coming year.

Jing Wang communicated with him every day by correspondence, and racked his brains to figure out other ways to make people’s livelihood recover as soon as possible.

Although King Jing is a little weaker in this respect, Mei Changsu has been in rivers and lakes for more than a decade and understands the people’s feelings. There are also many people who have been crawling on the ground for many years, and he gave some suggestions to Jing Wang to discuss with Shen.

The Lord Shangshu had been on the field for a few days, and he was very similar to the comments made by Jing Wang. He added a few more articles himself, and finally reported them to Emperor Liang.

The catastrophes in previous years were prone to riots, because the victims had no food, no clothes, and no incidents. After the disaster year, there was no way to arrange spring ploughing in the coming year, so I was desperate in my heart. , Has always been the most headache for the court.

The comments made by Jing Wang and Shen Zui were mainly directed at this. Although there are many articles, the summary is mainly to allow the victims to have a full stomach, and then arrange the people to control other sideline activities according to the actual conditions of the states.

For example, Weizhou in Linshui is rich in cattails, which can be woven into bibs, tea sets, straw mats, and other fabrics. It is very popular after being transported into Beijing by officials; other states have similar industries that can be excavated to supplement them.

At the same time, the weather was still warm for a month or two. The Ministry of Industry and Engineering convened to build roads, build bridges, dredge rivers, and open mines in Kenshan. Work has been started this spring.

The seed grain for the spring ploughing in the disaster area is allocated by the government, and the seedless farmers can come to receive it. The tax is free for the current year. If the next year is a good year, the grain cost will be added to the tax without reimbursement.

In this way, after all, the disaster victims benefited more than in previous years, but the imperial relief funds spent less money. Most people have things to do, even if they cannot be completely self-sufficient, but they are always better than begging for food and hunger or sitting and doing things. Mouth is good.

If there are some local officials with flexible arrangements, the suffering in this disaster year can be relieved a lot.

This proposal has been very effective since it was approved and implemented by Emperor Liang.

Not only has there been a major disaster and no chaos in the situation, the treasury has not suffered a large loss because of it, but it has also cleared the behavior of local officials and opened new examples.

King Jing was able to fight on the horse, and the image of being able to fight the horse was further established. Shen Chai also became more and more prestigious. He became more and more prestigious in the North and Central China. Yu Wang tried to find him a few times and eventually failed.

By the end of the year, Si Tianjian reported that a red light invaded Ziwei in the southeast, and the astrology was faint.

Emperor Liang took this command and said that the prince had no virtue. The sky had warned, so the prince was abolished as a king, so he moved out of Beijing and lived in Xianzhou.

At the same time, two Jingwang Wangzhu are added, and the same as Yuqi Wang is the Prince of Seven Pearls.

When this will was sent out by Chaoge, Yu Wang, who had gotten the news first, was losing his temper in his study. The things that could be smashed in the room were almost all finished, not even his own beloved pot of Cymbidium. Fortunately, no one dared to approach the whole storm field. Only Qin Banruo, who hadn’t seen her for a long time, was still a little brave and stood in the corner of the room to watch Yu Wang soar.

The Wang Yu Wang vented his anger and anger almost, and the red-sleeved talented woman sneered and said: “The so-called” whoever wins the Qilin talent, can get the world “, Langya Pavilion is really not wrong at all!”

This sentence penetrated deeply into Yu Wang’s heart like a knife. He turned back Huo Ran, staring at Qin Banruo crimsonly, and said angrily: “What do you mean?”

Qin Banruo ’s eyes were gloomy, cold and ice-like, raising his delicate jaws, and gritted his teeth: “Last autumn, when Jiang Zuomei Lang just entered Beijing, what was the situation with your Highness, what was the situation with King Jing? Now more than a year has passed. By the way, what is the situation with His Royal Highness now, and what is the situation with King Jing? Compared with these two, who is the genius of Qilin, is it not clear at all? “

Yu Wangmeng then stepped back and fell into a chair.

He became suspicious when Jingyan was crowned Prince in September, and he has been hesitant. At this moment, he was clearly exposed by Qin Banruo, but he felt that his blood was turbulent, and he wished to squeeze everything in front of him into powder.

“His Highness no longer have any illusions. King Jing has won Mei Changsu. I have confirmed this. Does His Highness want me to take the evidence?” Qin Banruo stabbed him deliberately, seeing him bow his head in awkward laughter. Speaking coldly, “Speaking of this grandmaster, it’s really amazing, there are decisions, dare to choose people, and they will also be tuned. Without his help, when will King Jing earn his current status? Now even the situation in the palace has changed. The more concubine was lost, Jing Fei came to the top. She kept mumbling all these years, the queen ’s eyes could not see her, but unexpectedly it was so difficult to deal with the power. These circumstances, presumably after the princess came back to the palace, all Did you tell your Highness? “

Yu Wang gritted his teeth fiercely, without denying it.

Unlike the concubine Yue, who was very aggressive, Jing Fei was like a soft water.

Soft or hard, no means is effective on her.

She was not attentive, not suspicious, not competing for favors, not accumulating wealth, not attracting people’s hearts, and being meticulous in etiquette. Every day, she only wanted to serve Emperor Liang comfortably, and did not speak a few extra words.

If Emperor Liang rewarded her, she would receive it. If she did not reward her, she would not be wronged.

The queen was kind to her, she was conscientious and prudent, and if she was in trouble, she would be happy.

In short, it resembles a large ball of cotton. It can’t be crushed or rubbed. It can’t be beaten with one punch. It has no strength. The queen has dealt with the Yuegui princess for more than ten years.

“I underestimated the mother and son,” Yu Wangchang sighed out, “I thought it was a sheep, and the result was two wolves.

But if it is too early for Ben Wang to admit defeat, Ben Wang can even bring down the crown prince, and still worry about tearing a Jing King? “

“His Royal Highness has this ambition, and Prajna deeply admires it. But Mei Changsu is too insidious, and he and his Jiang Zuomeng will not be cleaned up first, I am afraid that it will not tear Jing Jing …”

Yu Wang glanced at her and said, “Take care of him first. It’s easy to say. Your red-sleeve moves are now scattered here. Isn’t he being cleaned up by him?”

This sentence is talking about Qin Banruo’s pain, making that charming face unwittingly pass a bit of resentment, “If I talk about this round, I lose. But I don’t matter, the key is His Royal Highness Karma ca n’t be destroyed by this villain. Does n’t your Highness want to betray the evil that he deceived and used? ”

With her provocation, Yu Wang throbbed again in her chest, slapping it **** the table, and sneezing her palms with pain.

But just after a vent, he has calmed down a lot. Although he was so angry and stuffy, he kept breathing, but he finally gritted his teeth and endured: “You want me to concentrate my energy on Mei Changsu, Reported him to ruin your red sleeves, I understand this.

If I think about 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, Jing Wang would have no way to start, but now my seven younger brother is no longer in the pool, not just relying on Mei Changsu. I can’t repeat the same mistake and let him sit up.

What’s more, Mei Changsu is even more powerful. After all, he is just a strategist. The weakness of a strategist is always his prince. Rather than attacking Mei Changsu first, it is better to pay a salary to deal with Jing Jing. Are adopted wild dogs the same? “

When King Yu said his last sentence, the vicious spirit was already overwhelming, and even Qin Banruo couldn’t help but secretly startled, and Ding Shen asked, “Where does His Highness intend to start?”

“Where?” Yu Wang walked around in the wolf-stricken study room with a sneer. “I don’t know Mei Changsu’s weakness, but Jing Jing’s pain is plain. He hasn’t seen it for more than ten years. What is the root of being favored? Is he stupid, will he do bad things, and made any mistakes? No. On the contrary, he has repeatedly made military achievements and worked hard, but the father and emperor did not reward. The reason for not rewarding … … Isn’t that the old case where the father and son are not willing to give in … “

Qin Banruo’s eyes waved slightly, and he nodded slowly, “Yes, Jing Jing’s painful point is indeed the reverse case of King Qi and Chi Yanjun.”

“For these rebel thieves, how many times Jing Jing has violated his father and emperor, I ca n’t count them, but after more than ten years of exile, the father and emperor are old and do n’t want to worry about it. Hard top, everyone quietly turned over that page, only hiding in their hearts, no one mentioned.

Not mentioning it does not mean forgetting or recovering, just looking for a good opportunity to come back, it is still the deepest crack between them … “

“This is really a good entry point.” Qin Banruo agrees very much. “But Your Highness has to uncover this old scar again. You can’t do it at random. You have to tear it all at once.

“It’s precisely because I can’t be casual, so I haven’t figured out how to do it.

It would be nice if there was an opportunity now … “

Qin Banruo’s black crystal eyes rolled twice, and slowly said: “Is the opportunity … Ban Ruo hasn’t seen it yet, but there is someone, but His Royal Highness should find a way to join him …”

“Who?”

“The hanging mirror makes this the first generation, Xia Jiang.”

“Xia Jiang?” Yu Wang’s eyebrows jumped, “I’m afraid it won’t work … The traditional tradition of the Suspended Mirror Division is not involved in party disputes.

In the past, I had such a fierce battle with the prince, and he didn’t … “

“It used to be before,” Qin Banruo said quickly, “It’s no surprise that he didn’t interfere with you in the fight with the prince.

But now your opponent is Jing Wang.

Xia Jiang is not a confused person. He knows clearly the relationship between King Jing and the old Chi Yan, and of course remembers who investigated the case of Chi Yanjun.

If you say it lightly, this is a knot, but if you say it again, it is hatred.

His Royal Highness thought that Xia Jiang could watch the King Jing step by step, close to the reserve? Even if he is loyal, he must consider his future end? “

Qin Banruo was in the midst of honoring Wang Xiahuai, and he couldn’t help rubbing his hands several times, his eyes excited.

Xia Jiang’s influence on Emperor Liang, the power of the Suspended Mirror Division in various places, and for the current reputation of the great loss of reputation, these are the burning coals in the snow.

“His Royal Highness,” Qin Banruo Yingying smiled and congratulated Shili. “If you want to secretly test whether Xia Jiang has the intention of joining forces, Prajna can work. I have a sister, Xia Jiang’s old knowledge …”
