Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 194 A big loss for a small gain
The fifth prince's voice was completely unconcealed, and the other officials quickly turned their eyes after hearing it.
When they saw Prince Duan and Chen Changli, they thought that Chen Changli was deliberately trying to please Prince Duan, so they were ridiculed by the fifth prince.
For a moment, everyone looked at Chen Changli with a slightly subtle expression.
Chen Changli's return from the border to the capital was not smooth at all. Even if he arrived in the capital safely, he was assassinated.
The person who assassinated him was still King Duan. Now that he had put down his old grudge to please King Duan, everyone had some thoughts in mind.
Although these people's eyes were obscure, Chen Changli was still aware of them.
He did not take it seriously, faced the sarcasm of the fifth prince, and replied calmly: "If showing loyalty to His Majesty is flattering, then doesn't it mean that all civil and military officials are favored by His Majesty not because of their abilities? How powerful he is, but his ability to flatter people is relatively strong."
After hearing this, everyone realized that their guess was wrong. They immediately adjusted their emotions and looked at Prince Duan and the fifth prince with faint eyes.
Could it be that these two people were deliberately seeking trouble for Chen Changli?
The thought that Prince Duan could still be the prince after sending people to assassinate Chen Changli made people who were related to other princes feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, the prince came over and said in a gentle tone: "The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will naturally not show their loyalty to the father in this way. General Chen must not misunderstand. Fifth brother may be joking with you."
"Fifth brother, General Chen is going to court for the first time. He still doesn't know many things. If you want to guide him with third brother, you might as well let him come alone."
The prince's tone was as gentle as water, and his whole person was as dignified and elegant as a gentleman.
But both the fifth prince and Prince Duan were wary of him.
Prince Duan immediately said in a weird manner: "You have an extraordinary relationship with him, so you can naturally guide him well. But my status now is different from before. Your Highness, don't lose the big for the small!"
The prince smiled slightly and said: "It is a great joy for the third brother to be crowned king. I really need to congratulate the third brother properly. I don't know when the third brother is going to celebrate, so I can take the crown princess with me..."
"Your Highness, you should worry about General Chen's affairs. You don't need to worry about my king's affairs." After listening to the prince's words, Prince Duan didn't know what he was thinking about, and interrupted him quite irritably. Then he took the fifth prince into the palace.
The officer following the two of them looked at each other and followed silently.
Other officials came specially to say hello to the prince, and then entered the palace one after another.
"Let's go in together." The prince saw that all the civil and military officials had to look at Chen Changli before entering. He smiled and led Chen Changli into the hall.
Chen Changli, as the emperor's personally appointed General Zhenwu, was a first-grade official.
He stood directly in front of the generals, with a tall and straight figure and an extraordinary handsome face, which immediately made the hearts of some elderly and stooped civil servants jump.
This General Zhenwu seems to be different from what they thought.
Such thoughts flashed through their minds quickly, and they all couldn't help but feel a little repelled by Chen Changli.
Just then the emperor came, and they quickly adjusted their mood and focused their attention on the emperor.
The emperor immediately looked for Chen Changli and saw him standing in front of the generals. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked away.
"If you have something to do, leave the court if nothing happens." Su Dequan shook his whisk and shouted in front of all the civil and military officials.
Chen Changli wondered if he would have to wait for a while before raising the issue of handing over military power.
The Minister of Hubu stood up first and said in a plaintive voice: "Your Majesty, there are more and more refugees outside the city. If this continues, the national treasury will not be able to sustain it."
When he heard the problem of refugees, King Duan immediately thought of the Yangzhou magistrate and wanted to hide himself.
"Every day they say that the treasury is empty, so why don't you think of a solution?" The Minister of the Ministry of War heard the Minister of the Ministry of Finance crying about poverty. Thinking of the problem of food and grass in this war, he stabbed the Minister of the Ministry of Industry with his eyes like a knife.
"The national treasury has been empty for more than ten years. If I hadn't worked hard to find a way to replenish the treasury, you generals would never have had the food and grass to transport them to fight."
The Minister of Household Affairs rushed back very rudely, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Changli, apparently complaining that Chen Changli had spent a lot of food and grass in the war.
Chen Changli was aware of his little move. After a moment of silence, he said, "Didn't the filial piety given by His Majesty the Crown Prince go into the national treasury?"
As soon as these words came out, the Minister of Hubu couldn't help but be stunned.
The military generals laughed all of a sudden: "Yes, so many things can be easily converted into money, which is a million taels. Why can't this money support the refugees for a while longer?"
"Master Liu, there are more and more refugees in the capital. It's all because you didn't do things well. It's so shameless of you to come to His Majesty and cry for poverty now." A general couldn't help but stood up. He spoke angrily.
When the civil servants heard this, their faces were all livid.
There are more and more refugees, and they are also trying to find ways to resettle them, but the situation in Yangzhou seems to be getting worse and worse. When they think of those natural and man-made disasters, they can't help but murmur in their hearts, and they can't think of any solution.
We can only try our best to appease the refugees, and then specifically raise it in front of the emperor today, hoping that everyone can discuss it together.
Then he tried to figure out a way to solve the problem, but he didn't expect that these military officers would ridicule them so much.
"Your Majesty, natural disasters are raging this year. In order to relieve the disaster, I and everyone in the household department have thought of many ways. However, the natural disasters are becoming more and more fierce, and there are more and more refugees. I really have no better way. There’s a way.”
The Minister of Hube knelt directly in the center and spoke with pain.
"Today, I am telling this matter in front of everyone. I just hope that all the ministers can think of a solution together. I never thought that the Minister of War would say this, so I wanted to ask him if he had any good solutions. Then This is how you bully me in front of everyone."
Zhao Yunhui, the Minister of War, almost exploded with anger when he heard that the old guy Liu Feng started to complain.
He quickly stood up and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, I definitely have no such intention. I just feel that Mr. Liu is still crying for poverty these days and has not come up with any ideas for Your Majesty. I am very worried in my heart." He just asked specifically."
"I admit that what I said is not very pleasing to the ears, but this is an obvious fact, and I only told the truth. How can he be so suspicious of me?"
"Your Majesty, I am feeling miserable. Please make the decision for me."
Zhao Yunhui has been in the court for a long time, and has long since worn away the unique naivety of military commanders.
Although he is still not as good as Liu Feng, he can still directly grasp the evil things, and he can also disgust civil servants like Liu Feng who look down on military commanders.
However, there have been quarrels on the playground about the refugees for a long time, and every time there is no result.
Zhao Yunhui had long been dissatisfied, and Chen Changli also sent a lot of money to fill the national treasury.
Naturally, he wanted to dig out all this money and use it on the people, instead of letting all these people get greedy.
"Okay, please stop arguing." The emperor knew what these people were thinking, and also knew that they had no good ideas when faced with such a situation, so he could only interrupt them angrily.
Then he called out to withdraw from the court in a rather irritable mood, but before retreating, he deliberately kept the prince and several other sons, and then asked the six ministers to wait for him in the side hall.
So a great court meeting ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Chen Changli was a little confused, but seeing that the emperor didn't look good, he had no choice but to go home.
After returning home, he changed his clothes and made a special trip outside the city.
He found that there were indeed more and more refugees, and his heart became heavy unconsciously.
Suddenly, Chen Hai's voice sounded behind him: "Dad, please save me!"
