Report to your majesty, the prince is courting death again

Xiao Wenxuan was very smart and did not let Zhang Anshi and the others report the prince immediately.

Because Xu An transferred all the refugees to work for the prince during the disaster relief yesterday, and the prince was forced to accept it, so they said that the prince was deceived.

If Xiao Yuanlang repeatedly defended Xu An, they could say that the two were in the same group and joined forces to enslave the people.

In this way, while killing Xu An, they could also trick the prince.

Xiao Yuanlang was so angry at this time that he could not think of these things.

Xu An was his good friend, how could he be slandered like this?

"This is not an excuse. I am just telling the truth."

Xiao Yuanlang glanced at everyone and said, "How many refugees are there outside the city? Tens of thousands? When these people were starving inside and outside the city, who of you cared for them?"

"No one cared about you. Instead, you thought that they were in Kyoto, which was detrimental to the national system of Daqian."

"For your so-called face, you cruelly drove them out of the city and let them be exposed to the wind and rain outside the city."

"It was Xu An. He made those refugees who were naked and hungry eat enough to survive. Now they have become the slave refugees in your mouth?"

"Who gave you the face... to say this?"

Hearing this, the ministers immediately whispered to each other.

"Your Highness, what you said is wrong."

A middle-aged man stood up and said coldly:

"There was a reason why we advised to drive the refugees out of the city."

"First, it was to avoid losing face in front of the Dongyu delegation, and second, it was to facilitate centralized management."

"In this way, the losses caused by the riots caused by the refugees can be minimized as much as possible."

"Your Highness should know that after the refugees were driven out of the city, they caused several riots outside the city, and even the granary of Nancheng County was robbed."

"If the refugees are not driven out of the city, once a large-scale riot occurs, has your Highness ever thought about the consequences?"

"Once there is a riot, the lawless elements in Kyoto will take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, and the situation will probably be difficult to deal with."

The middle-aged man is Lou Jinglong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

He is one of Zhao Si's capable men and a follower of Prince Xin Xiao Wenxuan.

He has controlled the Ministry of Revenue for many years, and almost all of the Ministry of Revenue are his people. If the emperor wants to insert someone in, it is almost impossible without his nod.

This led to the Ministry of Revenue, which had controlled the world's money in recent years, becoming the private purse of Zhao Si and Prince Xin Xiao Yuanxuan. Even the account books sent to the emperor's desk were fake accounts!

It was just so crazy!

"As for what Your Highness said that the refugees survived because of Xu An, that is even more nonsense."

Lou Jinglong stared at Xiao Yuanlang, bowed to the emperor from a distance, and said: "Your Majesty has already issued an order to ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate grain for disaster relief to ensure that the refugees can survive."

"Yesterday, in order to better manage the refugees, Your Majesty personally issued an order to let His Royal Highness Prince Xin personally provide disaster relief."

"Food and supplies are all in place. The refugees only need to receive supplies to survive, and when the flood is over in the future, they will be sent back to their hometowns."

"Only in this way can Your Majesty's imperial grace be reflected."

"But what about Xu An? Instead of helping His Royal Highness Prince Xin with disaster relief, he used a few buns and steamed buns to trick the refugees into working for His Highness. Isn't this enslaving the refugees?"

"What? Does Xu An treat these tens of thousands of refugees as dogs?"

"You..." Xiao Yuanlang suddenly became furious.

But as soon as he said this, he found himself speechless.

It seems that what the other party said is reasonable!

On the contrary, he is making a specious argument.

Zhang Anshi and Qin Dehai looked at each other, and a smile suddenly appeared on their lips.

Xiao Yuanxuan looked at this scene, and his eyes were also filled with disdain. Without Xu An, Xiao Yuanlang could do whatever he wanted.

On the dragon throne, Emperor Yuan Kang saw Xiao Yuanlang being speechless, and he couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

This kid still needs to practice!

If it was Xu An, it would probably be Lou Jinglong who was crying at this time.

Well, let you go crazy first, and when Xu An arrives, if you, the old thief, can still go crazy, I will lose!

"Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to approve what Censor Zhang said and put Xu An, the magistrate of Nancheng County, in jail for questioning."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lou Jinglong looked at Emperor Yuan Kang and bowed deeply, saying: "This way, the people of the world can be reassured!"

"Don't worry, even if Xu An is guilty of an unforgivable crime, he must be given a chance to defend himself!"

Emperor Yuan Kang supported his chin with his hand and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Xu An's voice came from outside the door.

Emperor Yuan Kang looked up and saw Xu An yawning and walking in from outside the door, looking like he hadn't woken up yet.

All his expectations immediately turned into gnashing of teeth!

What does this kid think of my morning court? Vegetable marketWhat?

In such a solemn place, he dared to be so casual?

He deserves to be beaten!

When Xiao Yuanlang saw Xu An, the anger on his face instantly dissipated, and he became happy.

And Zhang Anshi and Qin Dehai immediately showed a strong coldness on their faces, and their eyes were full of hatred.

"Xu An, the Zizheng Hall is an important place for court discussions. How can we allow you to be so rude!"

Zhang Anshi immediately stood up and said to Emperor Yuankang: "Your Majesty, Xu An despised the court and offended the majesty of heaven. His crime is unforgivable. I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to execute Xu An!"

"Okay, stop shouting. I've been listening outside for a long time. I heard everything you said."

Xu An walked to the front, bowed slightly to Emperor Yuankang, and then glanced at Zhang Anshi lightly: "I say, Lao Zhang, can't you be quiet?"

"Do you know that disturbing someone's sweet dream is a crime worthy of death!"

Zhang Anshi was immediately furious: "How dare you be so arrogant in front of His Majesty!"

"Okay, then I'll be even more arrogant to show you."

Xu An twisted his neck and turned his head to look at Lou Jinglong, who had just made Xiao Yuanlang speechless, and said: "Old man, time is precious, let's get straight to the point!"

"I remember you have a dog at home? What did your guard dog eat yesterday?"

Of course he didn't check, all of them were clanging.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at each other, confused.

Even Xiao Yuanxuan frowned slightly at this time, wondering what tricks Xu An was playing.

Lou Jinglong's face was also very ugly. He thought of countless ways for Xu An to refute, but he didn't expect it to be this one!

What does the dog eat?

What does this have to do with the dog?

He looked at Emperor Yuan Kang and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I don't know what my guard dog eats..."

Nonsense, would he, a second-rank official in the court, feed the dog himself?

After hearing what he said, Du Ruhua in the crowd suddenly reacted and her face suddenly changed.

Something bad has happened, this is a trap!

Sure enough, he saw Xu An smiling and saying, "Hey, I know what your dog ate yesterday!"

"Yesterday your dog ate a chicken in the morning, a big pig's trotter and two buns at noon, and a golden roasted chicken in the evening!"

"Your dog lives a really good life, eating ten thousand times better than the refugees outside the city!"
