Chapter 221 Six Princes

The sixth prince was seriously injured. Otherwise, the Su family would not have been at a loss and risked danger to ask Dong Li. If there was not the thousand-year-old monster Bi Shu present, this kid would have to confess his life there .

Seeing that there was no serious problem, Nangong Xiao began to worry. Although Emperor Jinxuan had begun to suspect them, after all, the monarch and his ministers did not tear each other apart, but if the sixth prince was taken in, it would be a big deal. The suspicious Emperor Jinxuan If he finds out, the last piece of fig leaf between the so-called monarch and his ministers will definitely be ruthlessly torn apart. At that time, will he accept the punishment from the superior, or will he simply rise up?Well, this is a question worth thinking about.

The sixth prince is a smart person, so he knew what was going on when he saw someone's tangled look, and he winked at Su Shi, who went out as silently as an obedient rabbit.

"Don't worry, even if Father knows that I'm here with you, I'm afraid he won't have the mood and time to pay attention to it." The sixth prince startled Nangong Xiao when he opened his mouth: "Liaodong is located in a remote area, so you probably don't know it yet. Now the Central Plains is in chaos, and during the autumn harvest season, the Central Plains has almost no crops, and a large number of victims have begun to flee. The food in the treasury may not be able to cope with such a big disaster, and the current father is probably in a state of desperation."

Nangong Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes became blurred, so quickly?They had expected such a day a long time ago, but they never expected that it would come so soon.

Seeing his expression, the sixth prince gasped, and exclaimed in disbelief: "Could it be possible that you already knew that such a thing would happen?"By the way, the national teacher should be able to do it, but didn't you hear that something happened to the national teacher and he left?Father Huang's recruitment list has already been spread all over the world.

"It's a long story. I can only say that when something like this happens, we are the ones who can't shirk the responsibility. But in the final analysis, the biggest sinner is the emperor." Nangong Xiao was not worried either. The sixth prince would feel that he was rebellious when he heard this. The relationship between father and son had long since ceased to exist when they were deposed inexplicably.

Looking at Nangong Xiao's appearance, he didn't intend to tell the matter. The sixth prince knew that the instigator of this matter was his father. Even though he was already disappointed in that person, he couldn't help but feel cold. At the beginning, he was just worried that others would miss his country, so he did not hesitate to drive away his own son, but now he is so irresponsible, turning the country into a pot of porridge.

While they were talking, the land of the Central Plains was changing rapidly, and the number of those fleeing refugees was still increasing. The common people who had worked hard for a year but failed to get any harvest, had no choice but to make ends meet, and finally began to leave their homes with their families. , Moving towards the big cities, hoping to find a way for the whole family to survive in those places.

A large number of people began to leave their hometowns. At the beginning, the local officials wanted to hide it, but they did not expect that the disaster was nationwide. Within a few days, such incidents broke out in all surrounding towns. Everyone realized that I couldn't hide it anymore, so these news flew to Emperor Jinxuan's desk like wings.

Emperor Jinxuan, who had known for a long time that there would be a disaster, did not expect that the matter would come so urgently. He originally thought that the research on Mo Youran's corn would be successful, and the problem of eating would be solved after it was widely promoted. The omen, the disaster erupted quietly.

All the official warehouses have started to open warehouses to release grain. The common people and even the wealthy have all started to snap up grain. This year, there is almost no harvest. Who knows if the grain in those official warehouses is enough? It is theoretically enough, but the following Everyone knows that those rats guarding the official warehouse may have already dumped the food.The price of food in various places has changed from one price a day to several prices a day. Later, it is impossible to buy food with money. Every day, victims of disasters die in despair in the cold and hunger. The whole country begins to quietly spread panic. smell.

"It's not winter yet, and the situation is not the worst yet." In the distant Liaodong, the whole family of the Mo family closed their doors to discuss the disaster very seriously: "When it comes to the cold winter, the cold alone will cause a lot of damage." People's lives, not to mention the lack of food, I'm afraid that many people will die by then."

Master Mo frowned and stroked his beard, almost pulling his precious beard off, making nonsense, nonsense, how could he regard a good country as a game!

The sixth prince looked at his teacher and lowered his head. His face also had a fever when his father did such a thing.

"We just need a large amount of labor in Liaodong, and we can take this opportunity to absorb some people." Dong Li touched his already swollen belly. It took only two months, and not only did the little buns in his belly begin to gradually Growing up, the death toll of those suffering from hunger and cold is also increasing. She can't sleep well, and every time she is awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night, thinking that she has also worked hard in such a situation, she feels It seems to be haunted by evil spirits, the little guy in the stomach is restless, and it seems that he can feel the heavy burden of human life over there. He makes a lot of noise every day, and has to be a mother to vomit every day. I lost a lot of weight.

The whole family was very worried about this situation, but there was nothing to do. She vomited whatever she ate. Fortunately, Bi Shu was there, so she couldn't vomit this little thing out directly. Since she came here, she has been elusive and hiding in the dark. Except for Dong Li and the two maids around her, no one has discovered her existence.

"Dong Li is right." Nangong Xiao absolutely agreed with his wife's words: "This will not only develop our Liaodong, but also save many lives."

It is a good thing, but it is a bit difficult to implement. The reason why Liaodong fell into their hands in a legitimate way is because the place is desolate and remote, and there is nothing worthy of others' concern. I would like to exile them from a distance by Emperor Xuan, so With a swipe of the pen, they allocated this area to them for governance without hesitation. Of course, it was just governance. In name, it was still Emperor Jinxuan's territory.

Moreover, this place borders those places in Wala, and those grassland peoples would come to make troubles from time to time, and they could not settle down at all. It has already implicitly become the territory of Zhenbeihou. He is just a favor, and it is useless even if he does not give it to others. The territory has long been occupied.

However, it is not a simple matter to bring a large number of refugees into Liaodong. The household registration of these people is a big problem that needs to be solved. When the time comes, Emperor Jinxuan will see, well, Liaodong has expanded so suddenly Many people, do you want to rebel or what?

"I think we may ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for help." The Sixth Prince thought for a while, then suddenly said, but he didn't call the Crown Prince Second Brother. One is that he is already a common man, and he is still a dignified prince. The elder brother of the siblings, he has not yet had such a good heart to forgive each other: "There are so many refugees, I am afraid he already has a headache. If he knows that we can help solve a lot of troubles here, I think he will do it himself without us asking." will help us get things done.”

It's no wonder that this kid is a child of the royal family, and his mind is not so simple. Dong Li was secretly stunned. How do the royal people's brains grow, and why are they different from ordinary people?If Nangong Zhengyao knew that there was such a place that could deal with most of the refugees, he would definitely be very happy to push them over. Emperor Jinxuan was extremely afraid of the Zhenbei Army, but now that his son actually helped This confidant has brought so many people over, what is he trying to do?In addition, the old emperor probably wanted to abolish this aggrieved prince a long time ago, how could he let such a good opportunity pass lightly?Although the sixth prince didn't know that his second elder brother had already been rejected by his father long ago, if he did what he said, it would definitely make the prince more dissatisfied in Emperor Jinxuan's heart, and the estrangement between father and son would gradually increase. deepen.

"We need to find a way to leak the news to the prince." The rare thing is that no one thinks there is anything wrong with doing this. Most of them have long understood that the prince will never get the position of great treasure, and it’s okay to take advantage of it: “Make him feel that it’s the news he got, not someone else’s intentional disclosure, so that he will consciously send people away. come over."

Dongli thought about it, and suddenly remembered that when the old lady separated, the property that the couple got seemed to include a rice shop. The largest head office was in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital, and other branches, large and small, could be said to be scattered all over the place. The major provinces and cities are considered to be big players in the grain industry. Now that the price of grain is soaring, a large number of grain shops do not have that much grain at all, and they have closed their doors one after another. This has led to further panic, and more People are displaced, and she has food in her hands. If these rice can be transported to the north and south of the river to alleviate the urgent need, even if it is a drop in the bucket, it will always help some people.

As soon as I mentioned this idea, I immediately got everyone's support. There is no shortage of food here in Liaodong. As long as there are green trees, food can be produced at any time, and it can help those innocent people. This is what everyone is willing to do things.

"Leave this matter to Luo Shi." Unexpectedly, Aunt Luo was the candidate the Sixth Prince preferred. She and Aunt Su were unable to participate in this secret discussion, and naturally they would not have thought that the Sixth Prince would. She has a good eye for her: "This woman is very resourceful in business. How to transport the food out and how to arrange it after it is shipped out, she will definitely arrange it properly."

Su Shi has confirmed that he is the sixth prince, so is Luo Shi?Dong Li took a sneak look at the man Nangong Xiao, who was the man in the name of the two women, but found that the latter frowned tightly and looked at the sixth prince with displeasure, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with his proposal.

The sixth prince naturally saw it, and lowered his gaze slightly: "What? Do you have a different opinion?" Although he is already a common man, he still has the aura of the emperor and nobles on his body, and the pressure suddenly exuded from him is amazing. Can't help but hold my breath.

"I took you in not for the sake of being the prince, but for the sake of my past affection." Nangong Xiao said in a deep voice, his eyes could not tell whether it was anger or disappointment: "But now you are no longer It's you back then, I don't care what you want to do, Luo Shi was entrusted to me to take care of him before he died, and I treat him as a brother, so I won't let others plot against the only person he can't let go of."

There seems to be some secret involved in this, and it is estimated that only the two men who spoke understood the meaning. As the former teacher of the sixth prince, Master Mo was also deeply impressed by the change of His Highness, and was greatly disappointed: "This Leave the matter to the old man, Luo Shi is a woman after all, some things are inconvenient to come forward, the old man is old, and he is willing to risk his life for the sake of the common people in the world."

When the world was at stake, the sixth prince, who still had the mood to calculate others, sat there with his expression unchanged, but nodded respectfully to his teacher.

　There are two more, wait for me to come back from get off work!
