Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 231
Emperor Wen Hui couldn't be more angry, obviously...it was obviously Xiao Che who had evil intentions, but in the end public opinion overwhelmed him.

Especially the queen mother's current attitude, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

"What's the meaning of this, Queen Mother?"

The anger on the Empress Dowager's face has not subsided: "Do you know that now the capital is spreading rumors that you are tyrannical and have killed so many innocent people, so you must not care about the lives of the people?"

She really couldn't bear to see Emperor Wen Hui's behavior, so she came to him: "If you continue like this, you will definitely lose the hearts of the people."

Emperor Wen Hui didn't expect that this matter had already reached the queen mother, but then he thought about it, isn't his mother's news well-informed?

"Your Majesty, why don't you think about it? Why did you just kill a few damn people, and this matter spread among the people so quickly? Isn't it just the news that someone deliberately spread it?"

The queen mother can be said to be heartbroken.

"Then kill again."

"You! You are simply ridiculous!!" The queen mother was dizzy with anger, why did she give birth to such a fool: "The more you kill people, the happier Xiao Che will be!"

"Now is not a peaceful and prosperous time. The emperor killing a person will not cause any trouble. Xiao Che is still watching. Even if he is hiding in the Regent's Palace and cannot come out, do you really believe that he will not care about anything? If there is no him During the period, how could the public opinion among the people ferment so quickly?"

Emperor Wen Hui knew that what the Empress Dowager said was not unreasonable, but he had the temperament of "those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish".

"Then according to what the queen mother wants, what do you plan to do?"

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, held back her anger, and patiently analyzed the current situation with the irritable Emperor Wen Hui:
"This matter cannot be solved by killing a few people. The more violent you are, the more you will push the people to Xiao Che's side. Why does an emperor want to win the hearts of the people? Looking at the past dynasties, there are countless people who rose up to overthrow the dynasty, and Now there is still Xiao Che, whose means are so high that even you have to avoid his edge."

"Then Xiao Che has already achieved this, and he undoubtedly wants to cover the sky with one hand. You have killed so many people, and the people have already complained about you, and the resentment is soaring. If you continue to do this, you will give Xiao Che the power Opportunity to usurp the throne!"

Emperor Wen Hui's face froze instantly.

What the queen mother said... is indeed true.

"But if you really invite Xiao Che out, according to his temperament, he will definitely embarrass you."

Indeed, the last time he asked Xiao Che to come out, he was severely ripped off by Xiao Che.

There is a priceless treasure in the private treasury of the palace. No, it should be regarded as a priceless treasure to be precise. It can make people feel comfortable when smelling it. Putting it in the room can also keep people away from diseases and strengthen their bodies. .

Emperor Wen Hui planned to use this thing when he was old, but Xiao Che took it away unexpectedly.

Now if I call him out again...

Emperor Wen Hui didn't even dare to imagine that scene.

"So now you have to find someone to come out and hold the scene. The Ai family doesn't believe it. In such a big Fengyuan Dynasty, there is not even a single person who can take care of it."

Emperor Wen Hui smiled wryly.

How could it not?All the high positions and weights have gone to Xiao Che's side, and the people here are all cautious in doing things, walking on thin ice.

"Since this is the case, I will immediately post the emperor's list all over the world, and spend a lot of money to hire capable people and strangers. Whoever can solve the disaster in the capital will be the guest of honor of the Fengyuan Dynasty."

Although this method is very old-fashioned, it is also the most useful method at present.

"Alright."

The queen mother paused: "The Ai family believes that His Majesty is a man of propriety."

She is the biological mother of Emperor Wen Hui, so she naturally knows what kind of character he is. If she pushes her too hard, it will backfire.

In the dead of night, she couldn't help thinking that if the heir of the Celestial Dynasty wasn't so weak, maybe it wouldn't be his turn to be the emperor.

Emperor Wen Hui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "It is the minister who made the empress worry."

The emperor is still willing to beg for mercy in front of her, which means that there is still a situation to be redeemed.

"Your Majesty is now the lord of a country, and it's too late for the Ai family to rejoice."

Who doesn't know what to say?
The Queen Mother stood up: "Your Majesty can discuss more with the humerus ministers left by the late emperor when encountering things. They have experienced a lot and read a lot. Ai Jia believes that they will definitely give His Majesty the best advice."

Emperor Wen Hui also pretended to say: "The queen mother is worrying."

In fact, none of them obeyed the other in their hearts, but in the end they still wanted to maintain the superficial peace.

In the palace, how can there be any true feelings.

As soon as the imperial list came out, the world was in an uproar.

Spending 3 taels of gold to hire a capable person to solve the troubles of the capital city is worthy of the extravagant Emperor Wen Hui.

But at least, the 3 taels on the imperial list temporarily blocked the mouths of the people, and the people did not express further, and Emperor Wen Hui was relieved.

It's just that he relaxed too early.

Before the imperial list was released, news of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River spread to the capital.

As for the reason, the dam built by Emperor Wen Hui was not high enough, which caused the river and sea water to flood back, causing serious waterlogging.

Especially in places near the sea, there is a vast ocean as far as the eye can see, and the roofs can no longer be seen.

So Emperor Wen Hui quickly sent someone to find out what was going on, and under the recommendation of all the ministers, he chose the eldest son of Duke Shang's mansion, and Yu Ruisong went over.

Yu Ruisong's speed is indeed very fast, and the truth has been found out in just a few days.

It turned out that the money allocated by Emperor Wenhui was really not enough. Although the local people and officials had already paid for the construction of the dam, there was still a shortfall. The height of the dam was already the maximum they could afford.

They originally wanted to wait for a while before building the dam. After all, summer has passed, but no one expected that it would be autumn and there would be such heavy rain.

To be honest, Emperor Wen Hui didn't quite believe this result. The Jiangnan area is so rich, how could it be impossible to organize the construction of the dam by itself?
If one person pays 1 taels or 2 taels of silver at will, won’t the money for the dam come?What money do you want him to pay?

But he didn't know that the construction of a dam was extremely costly in material and financial resources, because in addition to the external construction, the interior also had to dredge the river and build dams.

Moreover, although the Jiangnan area is extremely rich, the price of goods is also much higher. It takes time and effort to buy from other places. After some calculations, it is not as cost-effective as buying directly locally.

Once you come and go, the money is gone.

It was Xiao Che who got this information before Emperor Wen Hui. In fact, although Emperor Wen Hui now holds the real power of the imperial court, the news of many things is passed to Xiao Che first, and then to Emperor Wen Hui. of.

Most of the people stationed in Jiangnan were Xiao Che's people, so he probably already guessed the reason, so he wasn't too surprised when he got the secret letter from Yu Ruisong.
