The ugly concubine of the foolish king

Chapter 190 Nine, the brothers turned against each other, Feng Yuchen and Feng Yuliang faced each other tit-for-tat, the two were quarreling over state affairs, Feng Qingcheng sat on the dragon chair and listened to the quarrel between the two.

All the ministers were trembling with fear, the two princes started to quarrel, this matter is no small matter, but seeing the expression on Feng Qingcheng's face, it was hard for them to dissuade them.

Why did this matter happen? It was because of the disaster in the southwest region. A few months ago, floods occurred in the southwest region, resulting in countless casualties and the displacement of the people. Fortunately, the imperial court sent relief funds in time, which allowed the people to settle down. In addition, the money for the disaster relief was personally sent by Feng Yuliang. After a few months, the disaster area wrote a letter again, saying that the money was not enough. Moreover, it was already winter, and many people's homes were short of food and clothing. Yes, it is urgent for the court to distribute money to ask for help.

The dispute between Feng Yuliang and Feng Yuchen also arose because of this.This appropriation must be obtained from the imperial treasury. Now, no one knows how much money is left in the treasury.

"Father, the amount of money allocated last time was already quite a lot, and now I want money again. Where exactly was the money used? Should there be a detailed account?" Feng Yuchen's words are not unreasonable, so much There must be an explanation for where the money was spent, right?

"Father, the money allocated last time was only 1000 million taels. There are so many people in the disaster-stricken area, and the people whose houses have collapsed naturally need to spend more. Therefore, my son begged Father to put the people in the disaster-stricken area as the most important thing." , and allocate some more money." Feng Yuliang's words sounded very reasonable.

"Father, my sons and ministers disagree. The disaster has passed for several months, and the common people can carry out self-help work. What is the use of so much money? Besides, the magistrate, as a parent official, has done a lot for the common people. There are so many things, this matter needs to be investigated, so as to save some people from filling their own pockets with money." Feng Yuchen was tit for tat.

"Your Majesty, I think what His Royal Highness said is very reasonable." A minister stood up and clearly supported Feng Yuchen.

"Your Majesty, I think what Prince Anxian said is also true." Another minister also stood up, and he supported Feng Yuliang. Now, obvious class divisions emerged. Some people supported Feng Yuliang. , some people support Feng Yuchen, in fact, everyone is just waiting and watching.

"Father, my son thinks that the people in the disaster area are in dire straits and we must help them. Otherwise, the people in the disaster area will have nothing to eat, and some unimaginable things will inevitably happen, for example, against..." Feng Yuliang made this matter serious.

"Hmph, even if it's a rebellion, I'm afraid someone deliberately manipulated it." Feng Yuchen said coldly, and he knew Feng Yuliang's thoughts clearly.

"Fifth brother, what are you talking about? What is intentional manipulation? Back then, I rushed to the disaster area overnight for the sake of the people in the disaster area and delivered the relief money to them. Now, how do I hear it?" What do you mean by your words?" Feng Yuliang said angrily.

"What do you mean by meaning? I'm afraid you are thinking too much." Feng Yuchen was not to be outdone. Before, in front of Feng Yuliang, he had been weak many times, and it was time to become stronger.

"If you didn't intend to point out something, why would I think too much?" Feng Yuliang retorted.

"Only people with a guilty conscience think too much. Third brother, as a younger brother, I have to ask, you know exactly where the relief money is going, or do you participate in it?" Feng Yuchen Another bomb was buried in front of Feng Yuliang.

Sure enough, Feng Yuliang's face turned cold, he looked at Feng Yuchen, and said sarcastically.

"Fifth Brother, if you have any doubts about me, you can go and investigate. If it is found out that I have used the money privately, I am willing to accept the punishment of the national law." Yuchen sneered for a while.

"I'm not interested in fake accounts." When Feng Yuchen spoke again, Feng Yuliang felt like he wanted to jump. "Father, no matter what, I think that this money can no longer be allocated. If it is allocated any more, I am afraid that the people will not be able to live a good life. The pockets of those corrupt officials will be fattened." Feng Yuchen said Sometimes, it still means something.

Feng Qingcheng sat on the dragon chair and watched Feng Yuchen and Feng Yuliang pinch each other. This feeling was actually pretty good.

"My lords, stop arguing about this matter, and listen to the emperor's opinion." At this moment, Prime Minister Li also stood up. He had been watching the momentum of the two of them, and now he finally spoke.

"I can't make up my mind? Prime Minister Li, what do you think? Should the money be appropriated or not?" Even after beating Prime Minister Li to death, he never thought that Feng Qingcheng, an old fox, would throw this matter in the on him.

The sweat on his face flowed down at the right time, he wiped it off, his heart was in a mess, it stands to reason that in the past, he would support Feng Yuliang without even thinking about it, but today No, in terms of future, Feng Yuchen is the future prince. He clearly knows what will happen if he offends the prince. Besides, Feng Yuchen is still his son-in-law. See, the more this happened, the more he felt that he had to please Feng Yuchen.

"Lord Li, what are you talking about?" Feng Yuliang asked, with a smile on his face. According to his friendship with Prime Minister Li for many years, he thought that Prime Minister Li would definitely support him. There is nothing wrong with this matter.

Prime Minister Li wiped his sweat again, looked at Feng Yuliang, then at Feng Yuchen, and finally at Feng Qingcheng, he cupped his hands and said to Feng Qingcheng.

"Your majesty, this is a big deal at this time. I think it's better to investigate thoroughly. Therefore, what I support is the opinion of the fifth prince. Even if it is disaster relief, it needs to be investigated thoroughly before relief, otherwise, it is easy to breed moths." Prime Minister Li said. , Undoubtedly, it was like a big stone falling into the water in the court hall, with a bang, there was too much movement.

The ministers whispered to each other, Feng Yuliang's face was as black as a piece of cloth, and a smile appeared on Feng Yuchen's face.

"Okay, don't say any more." Feng Qingcheng stood up, his originally tall body, when he looked at it now, was a little rickety, and the whole person, compared with a year ago, seemed to be getting older . "Let's talk about your opinions, whose opinion do you think is more pertinent?" Feng Qingcheng asked.

All the ministers became silent. Prime Minister Li has been an official in the court for 30 years. , all the officials are flattering him. Now that his purpose is clear, what else do others dare to say?

However, after all, Feng Yuliang also has some influence, and there are still a few people who are willing to stand by his side.

"Your Majesty, I think what Prince Anxian said makes sense. Don't make any mistakes for the people in this disaster-stricken area." Although they said so, what they said was on the same level as Feng Yuliang's. On one side.

"Your majesty, I feel that this matter needs to be investigated clearly before we can talk about it. After all, the whereabouts of the disaster relief money must be investigated clearly. Otherwise, the people of the world may not accept it. At that time, the national treasury will be wasted in vain. The silver." A large number of courtiers knelt down.The person who didn't kneel in the end seemed to stand out from the crowd, looking quite unique.

Feng Qingcheng stomped slowly, and walked around the dragon chair. Sometimes he looked at the ministers, and sometimes he lowered his head to think carefully. As the master of the world, he should be the master of everything.

"I think this matter can be discussed slowly. Since everyone is skeptical about this matter, then we should investigate this matter. At that time, if it is found that the people in the disaster area really have no need for life, I will It's not too late to dial the money, what do you think?" At this time, Feng Qingcheng's attitude was clearly supporting Feng Yuchen.

"Your majesty is wise, all the ministers shouted again." At this moment, Feng Yuliang's face became obviously unsightly.

"Father..." He called out loudly, but Feng Qingcheng simply ignored him.

"Prime Minister Li, since everyone has doubts about this matter, I think it's better to send someone to investigate, what do you think?" Feng Qingcheng asked again.

"The emperor is wise." Prime Minister Li cupped his fists.

"I have been in charge of the country for nearly 30 years. Looking at the court, only Prime Minister Li is the person I trust the most. How about, Prime Minister Li go and investigate this matter in person. If there is anything unusual, report to him in time. I will report." Feng Qingcheng said.

Prime Minister Li never expected that Feng Qingcheng would throw this hot potato into his hands again. If this matter is found out, he might target Feng Yuliang. He has already offended Feng Yuliang. If In this way, she completely broke with Feng Yuliang.

"The old minister thinks..." Prime Minister Li refused in a panic. He couldn't accept this job, and it was all about offending people.

"I thought, you can do it, I can trust you." Feng Qingcheng added these words.

"Yes," Feng Qingcheng had already said this to this point, if Prime Minister Li said it again, he would be a bit ignorant of current affairs.

"Okay, is there anything else?" Feng Qingcheng asked everyone.Everyone was silent, and some people's faces were already wiping sweat, "Since there is nothing else to do, let's retreat." He waved his big hand and sat on the dragon chair. Like a dragon and a tiger.

"Retire." Wu Yuan waved his whisk and called out.

All the officials knelt down and left, Feng Yuliang glanced at Feng Yuchen, swung his sleeves, and gave him a hard look.

A sneer appeared on Feng Yuchen's face. He turned a blind eye to Feng Yuliang's attitude, but he remembered it in his heart.
