Chapter 171

People in the imperial court did not expect Liu Renren to be so tough in his approach. In the past, the upright official faction headed by Liu Renren and others were mostly neutral in the imperial court.

Any smart person can guess that the flooding incident has something to do with the Regent, and there is no telling how many of the Regent's tricks were mixed into it. If this matter was openly revealed, it would be tantamount to going against the Regent. But now the most powerful royal family in the Dawu court!

Liu Renci is actually the vanguard at this time, is he looking for death?

The Prince Regent's complexion was slowly sinking, and now he heard Liu Renci's words, his complexion became more and more ugly, and he didn't even bother to hide the anger on his face.

But no one in the court stood up to refute Liu Renci. It wasn't because he didn't dare, but because he had no reason at all. Liu Renci had already stood at the commanding heights of morality and loyalty. As long as he admitted what he said before, he couldn't refute it.

Although the regent was extremely angry, at this moment, he could only continue following Liu Renci's words.

It seems that he can’t do it today unless he sends a few people out to collect the charges!

The regent had a sullen face, "Master Liu has been serving abroad for many years. I haven't seen Master Liu in a long time. Today, Master Liu is really an eye-opener for me!"

As soon as the regent said these words, even the stupidest official could tell that the regent was really angry.

Liu Renci, who was the first to bear the brunt, didn't change his face. He still bowed his hands respectfully to the regent, "The regent praises you."

Under the wide sleeves of the exquisite official robe, the regent's fists were clenched with anger.

But he could only temporarily say: "What Mr. Liu said is not unreasonable, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs! List all the officials and military generals who have neglected their duties in this matter, and severely punish them! Let them remember this lesson!"

The Minister of Staff was stunned for a moment, and then said with a troubled expression: "Back to the Regent, if this is the case, I'm afraid it will involve a lot of things!"

Liu Renci snorted coldly, "Could it be that there are relatives of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials among these people. If the Minister of the Ministry of Officials wants to cover up, one person can be punished according to the law. Could it be that ten people can be forgiven if they kill each other?"

Originally, the regent wanted to use the slope to get off the donkey, but was blocked by Liu Renci's words, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials also bowed his head in horror, not daring to intercede for these people again, otherwise the hat of covering up would really be put on his head .

Qin Shumin nodded secretly in his heart. Before his father passed away, he left him a list of courtiers. The names written on it were all chosen by his father, including Liu Renci's name.

But I didn't expect that today, Liu Renren would still remain unchanged, still willing to ask for orders for the people, and not afraid of power.

The regent's words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, didn't you hear what I said?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel hurriedly knelt down to accept the decree issued by the regent, "The humble minister obeys the decree and will be punished severely."

The courtiers didn't expect that the regent really ordered to severely punish his subordinates, and there was an uproar in the court.

At this time, the old ministers and upright officials who were dissatisfied with the regent's taking over the government finally had hope in their eyes.

Liu Renci did not wait for the discussions of the ministers in the court to stop, and raised his voice again: "At this time, the people are suffering from floods, and in such adversity, Her Royal Highness the Princess Princess tried her best to turn the tide, and did not hesitate to use her own personal wealth and food to save the people from the fire and water, and to save the lives of the people who follow. Live and work in peace and contentment to make suggestions and prepare silver. The ministers participate in the disaster relief, everything is in the eyes, mistakes are punished, and right is rewarded, this is the way to continue, please the emperor and the regent to reward His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

As soon as Liu Renci finished speaking, Du Haomiao cupped his hands and said, "The Eldest Princess received the government order for disaster relief, shouldn't it be right to save the people from the fire and water? Such a big fanfare for rewards will make the officials more anxious for quick success in the future? The matter has not been accomplished yet. If you want to reward, how can there be so much silver in my Dawu treasury!"

The officials who had just been suppressed by Liu Renren immediately came out to echo.

Liu Renren frowned, Du Haomiao, the Minister of Household Affairs, was really a dog that liked to bark.

The hateful thing is that what Du Haomiao said is not completely unreasonable. It seems that the regent doesn't want to give the eldest princess any rewards at all. In this case, the regent's faction has long thought of a countermeasure to stop it.

Some conscientious ministers felt sorry for Qin Shuhuang in their hearts.

At this time, Qin Shuhuang stood up. She bowed to Qin Shuhuang, the emperor's elder brother, and looked directly at the emperor's uncle Qin Wei with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Regent, in the court that day, you But I have promised to be rewarded for my good work, so does the Regent want to break his promise?"

The regent sighed "helplessly", "Shuhuang, it's not that the emperor doesn't give you a reward, but that the treasury is empty, and there is really no decent reward. You are the emperor of my Great Wu Dynasty. For the country and the people, you must You must understand the suffering of this king."

Qin Wei sneered in his heart, so what if Qin Shuhuang did a good job, he used this reason to not give her any rewards, and she still got nothing!
Qin Shuhuang is a bit too young to fight with him!
As soon as Qin Wei said these words, Liu Renren came out again, "Since Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess, can use her private money and food to help the people, which costs a lot of money, she certainly doesn't care about the little money reward from the national treasury, so let's just forget about it." Bar."

Just now everyone thought that Liu Renci had become Qin Shuhuang's right-hand man, speaking for Qin Shuhuang everywhere, but when he suddenly said such a word, the ministers almost dropped their jaws in shock. Did the officer treat his brain as broken for several years?

The regent Qin Wei planned to have someone stop Liu Renci from speaking at first, but after listening to him, he suddenly wanted to laugh out loud after being surprised, and even wanted to mock Qin Shuhuang.

voila!This veteran court official knows how to read people's faces the most, knowing that his power is in full swing, after some testing, he found that he couldn't win, so he immediately defected and sided with him.

At this moment, Liu Renci suddenly changed the topic.

"The eldest princess is my concubine of the Great Wu Emperor. Her status is already honorable. Now she has done such a thing of loving the people. She is loved by the people in the capital and deserves the title of protecting the people and the country. Why not give the title of His Royal Highness to the eldest princess by the emperor and the regent?" Reward. It can fulfill the promise of the regent king to the eldest princess in the court hall, but also save the country's wealth, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds!"

Liu Renren deliberately said the word "promise" in his words to remind the regent that as the real person in power of Dawu now, he must not go back on his words, otherwise no ministers will believe him in the future, and the regent will be greatly damaged. reputation.

Granting a title is also a reward, which is in line with the regent's idea of ​​not wasting national funds.

After hearing Liu Renci's words, everyone was stunned for a while, and then secretly scolded Liu Renci as "cunning and cunning".

It turns out that he didn't suddenly defect to the regent at all, but was waiting for the regent here. He was afraid that Liu Renren and the eldest princess had negotiated to dig this hole, waiting for the regent to jump!
