Chapter 170
No matter what, Liu Renci was a great official of the frontier, a third-rank official, and one of the leaders of the Qingliu lineage. He had always been neutral with the officials of his faction, neither leaning towards the regent nor the emperor.

Now that he has returned to Beijing to report on his duties at the end of his tenure, today is the first time he has participated in the Great Court Meeting. Even if he knew that he helped Qin Shuhuang in disaster relief, he might say good things to Qin Shuhuang, but at this time he had to give Liu Ren kindness and not let him go out. class speech.

The regent exuded a trace of warmth, as warm as a spring breeze, "Lord Liu has worked hard in remote areas this time. If there is any performance, please tell me."

Liu Renren's lean face was not gentle at all. He pursed his lips, cupped his hands towards the emperor and the regent, and said solemnly: "To the emperor and the regent, it is the time for the minister to return to Beijing to report on his duties. There was a flood in the suburbs. The flood had started for a few days and the people were displaced. Why was there no one to rescue them?"

The Hubu Shangshu had a sullen face, but when he heard Liu Renci's question, he immediately snorted and stepped out.

"Lord Liu doesn't hurt his back when he stands and talks. The people are all from my Dawu people. Don't we feel sorry for them? The reason why we failed to rescue the disaster in time was not because we were forced to. The treasury is empty! If Lord Liu has Tao Zhugong's ability, Then I, Du Mou, will be willing to give up the position of Secretary of the Household Department to Mr. Liu. With the money in the treasury, Mr. Liu can save whoever he wants!"

As soon as Du Haomiao, Minister of the Household Department, said this, there was a "buzzing" sound in the hall, and many people nodded.

Yes, if Dawu’s treasury has extra money, who would want to see the people suffer!

Seeing everyone's reaction, Du Haomiao proudly stood back to his original place.

After hearing Du Haomiao's words, Liu Renci's expression didn't change a bit. He raised his voice a little, "Is it possible that my Dawu treasury is so empty that the soldiers in the surrounding barracks and the servants in the yamen can't afford to pay? Why did I see all the way, only The people save themselves? But there is no government army to rescue disasters and dangers?"

Du Shangshu and the others who had already stiffened were rendered speechless by Liu Renci's question.

Disaster relief materials require money, but the soldiers stationed around are all paid. When there is no war in the country, these soldiers are not used for disaster relief. When will they be used?

This is especially true for yamen in various places!

When the regent heard this, his face darkened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly to stare at Liu Renci.

Could it be that this smelly stone in the latrine was bribed by a princess from Qin Shuhuang?

Encouraged by Liu Renci's words, the upright officials who were originally dissatisfied with the court's practice of disregarding the lives of the people stepped forward one after another and echoed Liu Renci.

The officials of the Regent's party all fell silent.

They actually sympathized with the people, but weren't they all ordered by the regent!What can they do!
If you stand up at this time of public outrage, you will immediately become the target of public criticism. No one dares to speak. Even Du Shangshu, who just opened his mouth, lowered his head and pretended to be a coward, trying to reduce his sense of existence.

Standing among the royal children, Qin Shuhuang glanced at the Prince Regent, wondering if she, the uncle, would like the gift she prepared later.

No one dared to refute Liu Renren's words.

He looked around and continued: "Everyone has no voice, so I, Liu, will acquiesce that everyone agrees with me. Since everyone thinks that the departments involved are dead, I also ask the emperor and the regent to severely punish the officials involved. Department! Only in this way, such a thing will not happen next time! Only then can the people of Dawu live and work in peace and contentment, and the court of Dawu will flourish!"
