Chapter 172 Flooding is not a natural disaster, but man-made!

And in this case, the regent had to jump.

The regent hadn't been complacent for a while, but Liu Renci immediately turned around, and the regent's face changed, even uglier than before.

What a Liu Renren!After cutting off all his escape routes, he had to give Qin Shuhuang a reward today even if he didn't want to!He has no choice at all!

The Prince Regent felt depressed, but he had to show a trace of relief and joy on his face.

"Lord Liu's proposal is good. Since the emperor and the king have agreed to the eldest princess, they will not break their promises. The eldest princess lives up to her expectations to rescue the people and let the people in the capital praise her. Today, the king will seal the eldest princess as a protector." The princess of the country is a reward, but the treasury is empty, so the rewards such as gold and silver will be exempted, do you have any objections?"

After saying this, he glanced at Qin Shumin from the corner of his eye and saw Qin Shumin slightly clenching his right fist.

Discovering this, the regent quickly thought about it again.

So what if Qin Shuhuang was rewarded with a title, anyway, Qin Shuhuang is just a woman, and a woman's title is not hereditary, it's just an honor.

Besides this title, he would not give any gold or silver rewards to Qin Shuhuang. Before, Qin Shuhuang provided so much food for disaster relief, and she would have to provide part of the food later. Even if Qin Shuhuang became rich, after this Well, I'm afraid the money from the eldest princess's house will be spent at a loss.

Without money, what's the use of just a title?I'm afraid she can't even afford the extra soldiers she can use with her title!

In order to suppress Qin Shuhuang, the regent even decided to collectively reduce the salaries of the royal family in two days!Although the royal family of the Dawu Dynasty was noble, in order to prevent civil strife, they had no fiefdoms for a long time. The royal family without official positions relied on the industry and salary given by the emperor to support their families. Once the salary dropped, it would directly affect their lives.

The officials who were a little jealous of Qin Shuhuang sneered in their hearts when they heard the reward given by the regent. A princess dared to intervene in the affairs of the court. Look, she spent almost all her savings to do a good job. , It was just a title that didn't hurt and didn't itch, and didn't even get a substantial reward, so it was no different from wasting effort.

Everyone immediately complimented, "The emperor is wise, the regent is wise!"

Qin Wei raised the corner of his mouth, and asked Qin Shuhuang, "Does the eldest princess have any objections?"

Qin Shuhuang saluted, "I have no objection from the Palace, thank you, the Emperor and Regent, for your commendation."

Although Qin Shuhuang said this, there was no smile on his face. He was afraid that his good plan had been ruined, and he was feeling angry at the moment!

Du Shangshu and his colleagues exchanged glances, and the corners of their mouths could not help but rise proudly.

It seems that Liu Renci is really not completely on the princess's side.

Then several officials reported a few small things. Although the regent didn't let Qin Shuhuang get involved, his party suffered a lot. It was he who personally issued the order in the court, so the regent didn't have much thought Continue to the meeting.

After several officials finished speaking, Qin Wei winked at the eunuch beside him and asked him to inform him that today's court meeting was over.

As soon as the eunuch took a step forward, Qin Shuhuang said: "Your Majesty, the Regent, I have something to do in this palace!"

Everyone turned their attention to Qin Shuhuang, wondering what Qin Shuhuang was going to say.

These days, apart from the major event of flooding in the suburbs of Beijing, the Dawu Dynasty was peaceful inside and outside, and nothing major happened at all. At this time, what can Qin Shuhuang say.

The regent was really fed up, but Qin Shuhuang couldn't say anything destructive. He barely controlled his emotions that were on the verge of rage, and said coldly: "Elder princess, what do you want to report?"

Qin Shuhuang walked to the center of the hall, squatted slightly to salute her superiors, and then looked at the surrounding ministers, taking in the expressions of these people. Her cold female voice filled the hall, "I am going to play Beijing." Suburban floods are not natural disasters, but man-made!"

These words were like thunder. As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall seemed to be struck by thunder and fell silent!
And the regent who was sitting at the top stood up unknowingly, staring blankly at Qin Shuhuang who was standing proudly in the palace.

It wasn't until the eunuch beside him softly reminded the regent that Qin Wei restrained the emotions he had accidentally shown and sat back in the armchair again.

After the extreme silence, the hall instantly exploded.

Some are unbelievable, some are flustered and guilty, some are sneered at, and some are surprised and expecting...

There were all kinds of expressions, but luckily anger and surprise were the majority.

Let Qin Shuhuang relax a little bit, if most officials in the court know the truth but turn a blind eye, then Dawu's court is really hopeless.

The most guilty person in the entire court is Du Haomiao and Du Shangshu.

Du Shangshu said anxiously: "Princess, it has been raining heavily for almost ten days in the capital. Isn't it normal for flooding? If you make a mistake in judgment and misunderstand a good person, you will bear the blame!"

Qin Shuhuang turned her head and gave Du Haomiao a cold look, which made Du Haomiao shiver uncontrollably.

"Since I dare to say this in court, I naturally have evidence to prove it!"

Hearing Qin Shuhuang's words, Du Haomiao couldn't control his body and began to tremble slightly and his face turned pale.

Regent Qin Wei glanced at Du Haomiao with sharp eyes, Du Haomiao quickly lowered his head, how dare he look at Qin Wei at this moment.

What he did was completely concealed, it was impossible for anyone to find out. If he found out, his people would send a message back as soon as possible. It is impossible for him not to receive some news.

It must be the eldest princess who is trying to lure the snake out of its hole!

At this time, he must be calm, and not let the eldest princess see the clues!
Du Haomiao was frantically hinting to himself to calm himself down.

The regent's face was gloomy. After all, he held the power. He was much calmer than Du Haomiao. "In this case, the eldest princess will present the evidence. If it is true, I will impose heavy penalties and seek justice for the people!"

Qin Shuhuang took out a few envelopes from his sleeve pocket and waved to the little eunuch not far away.

The little eunuch asked Xiao Rang to arrange it nearby in advance.

The little eunuch hurried over holding a lacquer tray, and Qin Shuhuang put the letter in the lacquer tray.

While the little eunuch was delivering the lacquer plate to the superior, Qin Shuhuang said: "The flooding in the suburbs of Beijing was caused by the breach of the Shuangsong Lake and Jinghui Lake dams. The Ministry of Industry only spent a lot of money to repair these two dams last year. However, if the quality is acceptable, it will not be washed away by rain in a short period of time. After the palace sent people to investigate, it was found that the dam was man-made. And this letter is from Du Shangshu and He Rong, an officer in the military camp near the dam. Letter! He Cong came from a humble background and was able to join the army and hold an official position because of Du Shangshu's hand. How could this officer He's sister be Du Shangshu's concubine!"
