Chapter 202 The Unexpected Incident
Zhao Zhizhi thought for a while and frowned, "Princess Princess, I really have something to do. This thing can only be successful if you do it."
Princess Caile couldn't help but become more curious, "What's the matter? Do you want some treasure?"
Zhao Zhizhi shook his head, his eyes filled with melancholy, "Princess Princess, do you know what the people are most afraid of?"
"What are you most afraid of?" Princess Caile pondered slightly.
Zhao Zhizhi looked at the pastries and tea placed on the table in the princess's wing, the top-quality pastries from Xian Yue Lou, the snow-capped greenery on the New Year tribute, and the famous paintings hanging on the walls. They were really magnificent.
"What they fear most is hunger and cold. What the common people long for is nothing more than food and drink, and happiness for their families."
"The drought east of Cangzhou is severe now. Not to mention food, even the bark of trees has been eaten away. People are starving to death everywhere. Even water has become a precious thing."
I have seen many people fleeing famine but starving to death on the road. People who were as skinny as wood and chewed tree bark everywhere ended up dead in the end.
Princess Caile was stunned when she heard this. She had never heard of such a terrifying thing. She had no worries about food and drink in the Marquis's Mansion, and she could not imagine that there were people who would starve to death.
"Zhizhi, are these things you said true?" Princess Caile was stunned. If it really happened, how come she didn't even hear the news.
Zhao Zhizhi looked a little helpless, "Why not eat minced meat?"
"It's normal for you to be in the capital and not know what's going on in Cangzhou." Zhao Zhizhi understood that the deaths of those common people were nothing in the eyes of the powerful, and it was not surprising that Princess Caile didn't know about it.
Princess Caile was greatly touched. Zhao Zhizhi's words seemed to give her a picture, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"Princess, you said you want to reward me, then I will ask you to explain to the emperor the drought situation east of Cangzhou. I hope the emperor can open a warehouse to release grain and help the people." Zhao Zhizhi spoke sincerely.
Princess Caile had tears in her eyes and said firmly, "Okay, I'll tell you, don't worry."
After Zhao Zhizhi left, Princess Caile immediately sent a carriage to the palace.
As soon as she saw the Holy Lord, Princess Caile knelt down and said, "Uncle Huang, my niece has something to say."
The Holy Emperor was a little strange, "What's the matter? You stand up first, is someone bullying you?"
Princess Caile was still kneeling on the ground and said in a serious tone: "Uncle Huang, my niece knows that as her daughter's family, she cannot discuss state affairs."
She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and said in one breath: "But today, even if I am punished by you, my niece will report that the imperial censor is not doing his job and not fulfilling his duties."
"According to what my niece heard, the drought east of Cangzhou was severe and there were countless casualties. The imperial censor actually concealed it, did nothing, and allowed the people to die."
The Holy Spirit pondered for a moment and frowned, "I have already known about the drought east of Cangzhou. I have sent people to investigate this matter. It is not as serious as you said. I have also reduced their taxes."
"Uncle Huang, will anyone confuse the situation? You can finally send someone to investigate secretly."
The emperor's face darkened, he knew that Princess Caile would never joke about this kind of thing.
He pinched his eyebrows and said a little tiredly: "Where did you hear about this?"
Princess Caile told the truth according to what Zhao Zhizhi said.
The emperor was surprised and said: "I didn't expect that a girl from a small village would be so brave. It's really amazing."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said calmly: "You can go back, I will deal with this matter tomorrow."
"Uncle Huang, you promised your niece that she will go back and tell Zhizhi the good news. A gentleman's words are hard to follow!"
The emperor laughed angrily at her, and nodded her head twice, "You girl, when did I break my word? If this matter is true, don't worry, I will definitely give an explanation to the people. "
Princess Caile got the emperor's promise and left the palace happily.
She knew that the emperor was a wise king and would never be perfunctory.
If possible, she would also like to donate her treasure.
After Princess Caile left, the emperor held on to the teacup and didn't speak for a long time. Just now Caile informed him of the situation east of Cangzhou. He couldn't believe that such a big thing was concealed so closely. There were no such officials and ministers in the court. Play alone.
The people are his people, but the imperial censor dares to commit the serious crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors. There must be someone else behind this.
The emperor pondered for a moment, became more and more angry, and actually threw the tea cup to the ground.
The fine jade tea cup was broken into pieces.
Hearing this movement, all the eunuchs knelt on the ground. Eunuch Li, the personal eunuch, knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please calm down first and don't hurt yourself. If you are too angry, just beat the slave."
The emperor exhaled, "Everyone, get up."
Only then did the eunuchs dare to stand up and start picking up the debris on the ground.
After they all left, only Eunuch Li was left.
"come here."
"What are your orders, Your Majesty?" Eunuch Li bowed his knees and asked respectfully.
"I want you to investigate something. Go immediately and come back tonight in front of the palace gate." The emperor said solemnly.
Eunuch Li naturally did not dare to disobey the order, but he looked slightly stunned after hearing the emperor's words.
Naturally, he had heard about things east of Cangzhou, but they were limited to some rumors and did not take them seriously.
And now, the Holy One should already know about this.
"Slave takes orders."
Eunuch Li took the order to arrange manpower. The emperor was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study. The words Princess Caile said made him unable to calm down and read the memorial.
If it were true as Cai Le said, those people would be so desperate now.
Sure enough, Eunuch Li came back before the palace gate was closed, with a solemn look on his face.
As soon as he entered the imperial study room, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty!"
"explain."
"What Princess Caile said is true. I heard from my servant that there is a serious drought in Cangzhou, the people are displaced, and people are starving to death everywhere. The east of Cangzhou is like a hell." Eunuch Li said hesitantly.
The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Is your news reliable?"
Eunuch Li nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to deal with you."
The emperor took a deep breath, anger blooming in his eyes, and he threw a memorial in his hand over, "Read it."
Eunuch Li picked up the memorial and it was presented to him by the imperial censor. "The imperial censor said that the memorial to the Santang River is blocked."
"Cangzhou has become like this. He is still in the mood to care about the affairs of other states. I think he is too lawless!"
The next day.
In the Golden Palace, all the officials saluted, but after a long time, the emperor did not let them get up.
After nearly a stick of incense, some officials could no longer kneel.
Especially the censor doctor, his face was pale and he was sweating profusely.
"Everyone, get up."
