Chapter 1280 Seven Kings
In the remaining few days, the entire court will be arguing, because the news that King Yin asked the people below to send it up, and it is still slowly spreading in the capital.

"What the hell is going on here? It's been three or four days of quarreling, but you guys have come up with a charter, and I've been blown out of my head by you!" The old emperor slapped the Long Shuan, and the noise below became a vegetable market. Only then did the court quiet down, and one by one knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

The last person standing is the Seventh King, the half-brother of the current emperor, and the uncle of the princes.

Just over 35 years old this year, the Seventh King is wearing a super-grade princely python robe and a purple gold crown on his head. He is at the most vigorous age for a man. Brother, I don't mean much respect.

"Brother Huang, don't be angry. It's actually just some unruly people making trouble. There was a little drought and flood. When did it happen? There is really no need to make a fuss." The Seven Kings looked indifferent, as if these things had nothing to do with him.

"May I ask Uncle Emperor, what is a major event? Nowadays, the area around the two lakes is severely flooded, and plagues are extremely prone to occur, or it may have already happened now."

"Father, let's order relief." Li Chongguang rushed to kowtow, he was really anxious.

According to the information he received, the hearts of the people in Dayu are currently in turmoil, there are disasters and people's grievances inside, and the Yan Kingdom and several other neighboring countries are watching. If this continues, what will Dayu be like in a few years? He really can't imagine.

"Disaster relief? My nephew, I have been in contact with the affairs of the court in recent years. Why do you still have a warrior temper? Disaster relief requires money and food, and the manpower and material resources required are unimaginable. It's not that you only have the experience of a thousand people. It can be solved." The Seventh King looked at his nephew mockingly.

He has been paying attention to this imperial nephew all the time. He is the most different among the princes. He has a lot of imperial favors, but he is punished the same when he should be punished. In the past few years, he has always been a playboy, and his main job is to serve in the army. I have practiced in China for several years.

After returning to Beijing, he was still the same. There was no favored mother and concubine in the palace, and there were no capable people in the court, but for some reason, the Seven Kings felt that this imperial nephew was not simple, and definitely not like what he showed .

"Excuse me, Uncle Emperor, if it's too difficult to handle, why don't you just do it? Please give an order to relieve the disaster and save the people." Li Chongguang ignored the Seven Kings and kowtowed again.

It is not that the emperor has never thought about disaster relief, but as the Seven Kings said, where will the money and food for disaster relief come from? Seeing that the emperor did not respond, the ministers discussed in a low voice, and soon disaster relief and suppression were divided into two parts. The two factions started to quarrel again.

"Shut up, Minister of the Household Department, raise money and food for disaster relief as soon as possible. I don't want to hear that the treasury is empty and unable to provide disaster relief. Give me an answer in three days and leave the court." The courtiers, as well as the Minister of the Household Department who are like mourning concubines.

These days, the position of Minister of the Household Department is not easy to do, and the treasury is empty. The emperor's expenditure exceeds that of the previous emperor by more than [-] times, and it exceeds the founding emperor by hundreds or even hundreds of times.

The emperor naturally reached out to the national treasury because of the emptiness of the inner treasury. In this way, it is impossible for the Minister of the Household to raise enough money and food for disaster relief even if he is not greedy. In such a big environment, you are a freak if you are not greedy, and you will not be tolerated by others.
