"Bran? Grass? These are good things that can survive. Grass roots, bark, and even soil can be eaten!"

When saying this.

The icy expression on the faces of Yu Qian and the others remained unchanged: "He Shen! He Sir, you have to remember that you are an important minister of the Great Xia, and you are the Minister of the Household Department! With such words, you can come out of the air from you! Come out, don't you feel ashamed, don't you feel ashamed!?"

He Shen smiled: "No, He feels more relieved."

when the words are spoken.

Finally someone couldn't help it: "Why talk so much to this traitor!?"

"This is not the first time this has been done. In the past five years, when there were catastrophes in various places, this man often ordered people to replace the relief food with bran and fodder! This plan is the thief's plan." A common trick!"

"Shoulder to shoulder, kill this thief and eliminate harm for the people!"

The ethos of the Great Xia court has always been like this.

The lessons of a few months ago are still vivid.

Seeing that the officials were in trouble, He Shen was in danger.

And at this time.

Li Ye, who had been watching the disputes among the officials without any movement, finally moved.

"That's it!"

A faint cry.

Just now it was still in the court where swords were tense.

It was quiet in an instant.

Only Yu Qian and the others frowned slightly and looked at Li Ye: "Your Majesty, He Shen is a thief..."

Not finished yet.

Li Ye shook his head slowly with a flat face.

Although Yu Qian and the others didn't understand, they could only retreat slowly.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Ye slowly looked at He Shen who was wiping his brow with cold sweat: "He Shen, give me an explanation."

"Otherwise, you, Minister of the Household Department, don't have to do it."

Chapter 299 Corrupt officials?honest and upright official?

After some words.

He Shen was like a fish off the shore, and finally returned to the water.

Breathing heavily.

Hastily raised his head.

Think for a moment.

All eyes watched over him.

Only then did he take a deep breath and said loudly: "He was climbing to the top position. He used to be just a small imperial bodyguard. After studying for a few days, he failed in the imperial examinations. It's not as good as you who have read the books of sages."

talking.

He Shen suddenly changed his voice, raised his head and said with a wry smile: "You all know the hardships of the people, and the reason why the people are in dire straits and cannot eat enough to eat. But have you ever seen it with your own eyes?"

A rhetorical question.

All the people present bowed their heads in silence.

Before they could continue to say something, He Shen continued to speak slowly in his deep but contagious tone: "Have you ever seen a person who eats Guanyin soil and dies alive?"

Most people look confused.

Because they hadn't even heard of the Avalokitesvara soil He Shen was talking about.

"Have you ever seen the situation where the bark of all the trees in this thousand-mile plain has been gnawed away?"

With another question, the scene became even more silent.

And He Shen's tone was still sad, but the wry smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more obvious: "Changing children to eat? Everyone, of course I have heard of it. But to you, it's probably just four words in the history books."

He Shen patted himself on the chest, then pointed to himself and said word by word: "I have seen it with my own eyes. The so-called change of child and food..."

"My own child is just a pile of meat in someone else's pot!"

After this last sentence.

The aura of He Shen even directly overwhelmed Yu Qian and others present.

Originally facing He Shen, they were aggressive.

At this moment, after He Shen said a few words, he silently lowered his head.

"Everyone thinks that He is only greedy for money and accumulating money, disregarding human life, and ignoring the common people..."

Seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, He Shen sighed softly and couldn't help saying: "However, although He is greedy for money, he has never been greedy for disaster relief money. He is sorry for everyone, but only for these victims."

"Right now, the only way to keep the disaster victims in Jizhou alive..."

Still silent.

At this critical juncture.

In fact, most of the people present have been persuaded by He Shen.

Because they know.

What He Shen said is true.

at the moment.

What He Shen chose is almost the method with the least impact and the most stable overall situation.

however.

To know is to know.

I want them to really make up their minds to do this.

After all, there is still such a sliver of difficulty.

And at this time.

"His Majesty……"

"Everyone..."

"The old man thinks that this method with your lord is the most suitable method at the moment."

A sigh.

Let almost everyone's eyes cast in the past.

But only for an instant.

The faces of everyone present changed instantly.

Because of the person who said it.

no one else.

It is the most prestigious and most respected saint in the whole court at the moment——Confucius.

But when listening to Confucius saying these words.

There was a hint of confusion in the eyes of many people present.

It's hard for everyone to imagine.

He has always been Confucius who insists on putting the people first and putting the people first.

"Master, you are a saint..."

Would you actually agree with He Shen's treacherous words?

I could see the eyes of everyone either puzzled or surprised.

Confucius himself just smiled slightly: "A saint? Yes, everyone said that Confucius was a saint? But only Confucius knew that Confucius was not a saint. A saint sits on a cloud, and Confucius himself only wants to keep his feet on the ground. "

Everyone was silent.

And at this time.

Confucius still said word by word: "Confucius has traveled around the world for so many years, has experienced many things, and has seen many things."

"It's exactly what your lord said. What the victims of the disaster don't need are fine clothes and food. What they want is to survive. Survival is more important than anything else."

"As long as the imperial court is dedicated to serving the people, what is needed is not high-sounding and righteous rhetoric. Instead, it needs to be down-to-earth and solve practical problems. Otherwise, no matter how good the face is, and Jizhou will be full of dead bones, what should we do?"

When you finish saying this.

Confucius squinted his eyes and slowly looked at Li Ye who was not far away: "Your Majesty, are you right?"

By this time.

Let alone Confucius.

Anyone with a real eye already knows it.

What He Shen said just now.

It was clearly ordered by Li Ye to put on a good show for them.

The purpose is to implement this final plan.

in other words.

He Shen was pushed onto the stage by Li Ye and was blamed.

and this.

It is also the reason why Li Ye wanted to leave He Shen alone, and even continued to let him serve as the Minister of the Household Department of the Great Xia.

present.

Everyone looked deeply at He Shen's words in front of them.
