Shen Yi's Darkness and Depression

Chapter 77 Famine

The first day of every month is an important day for the court during the Great Week. You can usually ask for personal leave and sick leave, but the first day of the new year must be complete, especially the first day of the twelfth lunar month. Everyone must come to the morning court, and they are not allowed to ask for leave for any reason. Even if the concubine's nephew is seriously injured, he has to go to the court limping on crutches. Shen Yixiang believes that the relatives of the emperor should set a good example .

"Play early if you have something to do, and leave the court if you have nothing to do." Eunuch Su's voice resounded throughout the hall, and all civil and military officials knelt down to pay his respects. Only Ze Fenglin stood half-standing to pay his respects. I have tried my best in the hall, if I want to kneel down, I will be unable to stand up because of the worsening of my leg injury.

"Your Majesty, I have a minister." Ze Fengduo has been in charge of the Zongyu Mansion for many years as a royal censor. He is also a relative of the emperor and is highly respected in the court.

"I will play." Shen Yixiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Ze Fengduo. He has been a monarch and minister to each other for more than 20 years, but he still looks like the green young man in his memory, exuding vitality, standing with his son Ze Fenglin , more like peers.

"Xu Jin's memorial to the opening of Hezhou's mansion, please the emperor to send food and grass for reinforcements." The memorial to the opening of Hezhou's mansion is full of thousands of characters, and Ze Fengduo read it very tired. If you need support.

"Why?" Shen Yixiang asked thoughtfully.

"Hezhou is also considered to be located in the northwest. This summer is dry and rainy, and there is not enough food storage. Now that the winter is ending, Xu Kaifu is afraid that the local people will suffer from famine, and they can't control it..." Ze Fengduo didn't want to embarrass the emperor, but his body Being an important position in the Zongyu Mansion, the most unavoidable thing to do is to deceive the subordinates and conceal the superiority. It is his first responsibility to upload and distribute accurately, and it is his obligation to make things ready for a rainy day.

"Aren't Xining and Liangzhou also droughty in summer? Why didn't the memorial ask for food and grass reinforcements?" It doesn't matter to allocate food and grass from the south, or allocate some food and grass from the imperial capital.

"In addition to Xining and Liangzhou, Linsong was also slightly affected by the disaster, but Hezhou has been hit by drought for two consecutive years, and the local people have been displaced a lot. Your Majesty, Xu Kaifu's worries are not unreasonable." Ze Fengduo explained on his behalf, Even if the emperor does not allow food and grass reinforcements, his duties have been fulfilled. If there are any changes in the future, the emperor has already made a decision in front of all civil and military officials, and there is no reason to punish him.

"Xu Jinxu opened the mansion, I heard that he is a very happy person." Sikong Li, who is in charge of Zongbai's mansion, suddenly knelt down and said sincerely.

"Is it such a great achievement? I haven't heard anything about it." Ze Fengduo also knelt down and begged. Whether Xu Jin's words are true or not is not something that he or Lord Sikong can tell the truth from a single word, but whether reinforcements are indeed a matter of the emperor's decision. Words are executable.

"What do you think about this matter?" Shen Yixiang asked.

"I have no objection."

"I believe that the emperor should investigate thoroughly before making a decision."

"I have heard that this person is eager for quick success, and I feel that what Sir Sikong said is not groundless."

"I feel that it is more appropriate for Mr. Zefeng to send someone to Hezhou to find out."

"I believe that the priority is to appease the people. If the lack of food and grass causes disasters, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses?"

"I feel that this matter is strange, and I am afraid that the act of reinforcements will lose my wife and lose my army."

"Chen, I don't agree with you."

"The minister is unknown."

"........."

"Okay, let's discuss this matter at the memorial." Shen Yixiang was very angry when he heard the voices of the various parties below. If he really considered the interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he thought it would be good to talk about it. He was chattering and muttering.

"Censor Zefeng, you have to read the memorial of the officials carefully before presenting it to me." Shen Yixiang instructed.

"Yes." Ze Fengduo agreed, and let him pick up the sweet potato after all.

"Retire." Eunuch Su's loud voice resounded through the hall again.

"I respectfully invite the emperor to be safe, and may the emperor have a long life and prosperity." All civil and military officials knelt down and said in peace, watching Shen Yixiang walk back to the apse, and then they all got up and prepared to leave.

"Guo Wei, go slowly." Eunuch Su hurriedly ran to the gate of the hall and called to stop Dugu Ruyuan who was talking with Ze Fengduo.

"Call me?" Dugu Ruyuan asked back in surprise, he mistakenly thought that Eunuch Su called the wrong person.

"Exactly." Eunuch Su rolled his eyes at Dugu Ruyuan, he heard it clearly and pretended to be confused.

"Eunuch has something to do?" Dugu Ruyuan didn't know why Eunuch Su stopped him.

"My servant is ordered by the emperor, please go to the Xuande Palace." Eunuch Su led the way, and Dugu Ruyuan followed carefully behind him. This scene made Ze Fengduo surprised for a long time, and couldn't figure it out. However, if it was because of the Hezhou matter, he should obviously be left behind for a secret talk.

Chi Zha Lianying determines the universe, wasted years are like reincarnation.Unexpectedly, it is difficult to cultivate the holy land, but it is unexpected that other people's marriages will be fulfilled.
