Chapter 94
The plague in Huangzhou was brought under control in time, and there were special medicines, and many dying people were saved.Under the catastrophe, the soldiers and civilians in Huangzhou were still able to snatch autumn grain and recovered a lot of losses.More enlightened gentlemen took the initiative to raise donations, donating more than [-] taels of silver in just a few days, motivating neighboring villages and towns to contribute money and efforts, and the whole Huangzhou set off an upsurge of helping each other in times of trouble.

The governor of Huangzhou, Master Du, announced that the government will set up charitable halls and textile workshops to house homeless women and children.The shantang will even set up an inscription, engraving the names of the great donors on it, and it will be admired by all people.

The news spread, and all the peoples praised.The donated money flows in and out like the tide every day, and is exchanged for relief supplies such as food and winter clothes, and people are hired to repair the house.

A statue of Princess Huyang was erected in Yu'ergou. Although it doesn't look like much, the princess is still very proud.

"Ningchen, is this statue almost meaningless?" Princess Huyang held up the hammer and posed in exactly the same pose, "You help them repair it."

"I've never done that."

"You follow me! Hurry up!"

Lu Ziqing turned into a giant praying mantis, swiped his two knives, and the power of cutting the horns was so great that the head of the statue of Princess Huyang flew up from his neck and shattered into pieces...

"Do you want to die!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lu Ziqing hurriedly found a piece of luminous jade hewn from the wall of the demon cave, replaced it with two ordinary knives, polished it carefully, and the hair strands were carved out.

It's okay to put the head carving on the shoulder of the stone statue, right?It still glows at night.

Princess Huyang was very satisfied, and changed the hand of Bengong to this kind of luminous jade, which is called jade hand.Putting a cloak on the stone statue in this way, inserting the wooden Clear Sky Hammer, this palace is really lifelike...

A memorial was presented on the desk of the Emperor of the Great Zhou at this time.

There is a rumor from the censor: "The magistrate of Yushan County did not respond well, which caused the villagers to rebel, and the plague spread to Huangzhou Prefecture."

"The Huangzhou government took the opportunity to collect money and cheated tens of thousands of dollars into donations."

"Princess Huyang bullied the market and supported the corrupt official Du Yufeng. She also ostentatiously crossed the street, behaved frivolously, and lost the royal dignity. According to the investigation, the fraudulent donation was all in the name of the princess."

"Hundreds of squires donate money in the name of asking the court to grant a plaque. Huangzhou Mansion has not made a preliminary decision, and it is said that there is also the princess's approval."

"Princess Huyang ordered the villagers to build a shrine for her, which is ridiculous!"

This incident quickly fermented in the court, and officials from various factions spoke out with justice and accused each other.

The officials sent by the Taishi yelled: "The plague is rampant, and the Huangzhou Mansion can control it so quickly. Her Royal Highness has contributed a lot! The Taishi has only been away for a few days, so why do you keep hearing crickets calling!"

"It is absurd to accuse the princess of being frivolous. Where is the princess's frivolity? Let me hear it?"

"The princess paraded through the streets, ordered all the people to kneel down, and whispered to her followers. She was already too intimate. Then she lifted her skirts in private and kicked her followers... It's beyond description!"

"May I ask what the princess' followers said?"

"It seems to want to reduce or exempt the taxes of the disaster-stricken counties, which is really presumptuous!"

"Then may I ask, how did you hear the princess whispering to others?"

"The people will know."

"I haven't heard that you care about the disaster in Huangzhou. Why do you care so much about the princess's words and deeds?"

"Every word and deed of His Highness represents the majesty of the royal family!"

"Wow—!"

There was an uproar in the court, and soon the artillery fire was directed to the disaster relief everywhere, and the officials of various factions revealed their old stories to each other.If Lu Ziqing was in the court, he would be surprised to find that today's court meeting is comparable to the scene of the box-sealing cross talk meeting of Deyun Society.

Until there was a crisp sound of cloud boards coming from the curtain behind Emperor Da Zhou, and a eunuch sang loudly: "The imperial concubine is here!"

All officials quieted down together.

A censor stepped forward: "Today's court meeting, I'm afraid it's unreasonable for the empress to be present?"

A large group of officials said in unison: "Your Majesty, please stay away."

The imperial concubine poked her ears behind the screen as if she hadn't heard.When the court was quiet, the imperial concubine pointed her fingertips at the court, her cherry lips pointed at her fingertips, and took a long breath, as if to say, you are nothing but my earwax.

All the officials heard the sound of blowing fingers.

The officials of the Grand Master School were greatly invigorated, and other officials felt humiliated.

The imperial concubine asked lazily: "Which lord said that Princess Huyang swaggered across the street and bullied the market?"

A censor stepped forward: "It's a humble minister."

"The vegetable market and grain store are opened by your family?"

"Of course not."

"It's not that the governor of Huangzhou is in charge. Are you the governor of the Huangzhou government or the city commander? Where is the CCP (officials who manage market prices) dead?"

"The censor is the censor, and it is the duty of the censor to hear the news." The censor is neither humble nor overbearing.

Da Sinong glared at Yu Shi with a look of shit on his face, because both the Bureau of Equalization and the Secretary of the City were under the jurisdiction of Da Sinoong.

The imperial concubine asked again: "Listen, Bengong, you all seem to know what the princess said to the servant who led the horse. I want to know what the princess has done in the future. Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask the family?"

All the officials saluted together: "I dare not wait."

The censor corrected: "The princess was not riding a horse at the time, but an old unicorn. Weichen said this, but he thought it was a matter of the face of the Tian family..."

"Don't be like this, the face of the Tian family at every turn." The imperial concubine interrupted, "I actually want to know, what does the servant who has a close relationship with the princess look like? Is it heroic and powerful, or is he as gentle as jade? Who is your name, and where do you live?"

Baiguan you look at me, I look at you, no one can answer.

The censor blushed: "I don't know if the report has not been written."

"Could it be that the report only wrote about the princess's disrespect? You accuse the princess of having sex with other people, is that what you mean? You don't even know the other person's appearance?" The imperial concubine's tone was very surprised. So, have any of you complained like this?

All the officials looked at each other in blank dismay, the man's logic and the woman's logic confronted each other head-on, and all the officials were completely defeated.

The censor gritted his teeth and insisted: "I don't dare! It's just that the words and deeds of the princess collected from the people's mouths are already very detailed. Naturally, the people have no way of knowing the man's name. As for the appearance, it doesn't matter."

The imperial concubine said: "This palace thinks it is very important. But the censor should choose a son-in-law without judging by appearance. Virtue is more important."

Baiguan let out a suppressed laugh.The imperial concubine is too tough, and deliberately described "virtue" as "virtue", and the censor can't get angry.

The Emperor of Great Zhou held another memorial, and interrupted: "I think, these words shouted in the streets of Huyang are actually quite good, and they have a vigorous and decisive effect on controlling the disaster situation and pacifying the people's grievances. It is remarkable and quite majestic. .”

"Oh?" A eunuch handed the memorial to the imperial concubine who was behind. The imperial concubine lightly parted her cherry lips and read, "I will never put the safety of the people at risk...Your Majesty, this is so good, my palace, This Palace, I am very pleased!"

"The courtier reprimanded the princess for losing her manners. If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight, and you must not bow your head?"

The Emperor of Great Zhou began with a chorus: "I also think that this statement can be regarded as a model for officials. As for defrauding donations or something, this is too nonsense. You can't ask the Huangzhou government to return the donated silver and find someone to make up for it." ?”

"Where to make up for it? I don't have any money in the palace, so whoever said it was a fraudulent donation will make up for it." The imperial concubine muttered as usual, "Huangzhou government raised 10 taels of disaster relief money, just kidding around? If the Holy Majesty agrees, the Huangzhou Mansion is naturally not a fraudulent donation. If the Holy Majesty refuses to allow it, it will be a breach of trust to the people, and the Tian family will lose face."

All the officials were silent. This double reed staged by the emperor and the imperial concubine was too high to stand up to.

The censor is about to explode, and the official position will be replaced by someone else.The boy who rubbed shoulders with the princess has been said to be a model speech official!

"Your Majesty!" The censor reached out to take off his hat, held the crown and said loudly, "Your crown can fall off! Your head can also fall off! But now Huangzhou has reached the point where the people pay homage to the princess, and the crown prince has nothing to do with the people. Prestige, I think, is inappropriate——!"

This is the real purpose of today.

There was an uproar all over the court.

The emperor is still alive, and the prince sent officials to ask to improve the prince's prestige among the people. What do you want to do?Preparing for a dynasty change?

Without the approval of the emperor, the prince could only act in a low-key manner after he opened his house and established his teeth, not daring to have any prestige among the people, otherwise he would be suspected of seeking to usurp the throne.The matter of supporting the crown prince was originally not in a hurry, after all, today's crown prince is in its prime.But all of a sudden, the world was in chaos, and Princess Huyang was so high-profile, and she was going to do big things the first time she went down the mountain. Naturally, the officials of the Prince's faction couldn't accept it.

The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty gave a "hmm", as if he had accepted the imperial censor's advice and was considering it carefully.

If the princess can show her strengths among the people without any taboo, it seems inappropriate for the prince to be suppressed so low in Wei Jiayun.What the officials want to fight for today is exactly this. The crown prince is the prince of the country, and his prestige among the people is not as good as that of the princess. Is it plausible?Maybe it's time to give him some power.

The censor saw that the goal had been achieved, and it was time to take a step back, so he further said: "The princess is young, and it is normal for her to be a little careless in her words and deeds. The princess's achievements in disaster relief in Huangzhou are also affirmed by the minister. It's just that the Huangzhou government deliberately Bewitching, arranging for the common people to engage in ostentation, blindly flattering and flattering, their hearts are to be punished!"

Take a step back and affirm the princess's achievements.The princess is gone, but this is due to the flattery of the governor of Huangzhou, and the princess just made a young mistake.It's perfect to push the crime to Taishipai.

Master Zhuo, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, jumped out faster than the officials of the Ministry of Rites: "I have objections!"

"Your family, please tell me."

"Since ancient times, there has been no princess disaster relief! The Princess of Huyang happened to meet her, and Huangzhou Mansion had no ceremonies for reference! At that time, the governor of Huangzhou, Du Yufeng, had been fighting fiercely for many days, and had no time to care about the details. How could the people know how to pay homage to the princess?" The etiquette? Therefore, I believe that everything that happened in Huangzhou Mansion is justifiable."

"Yeah." The Great Zhou Emperor felt that it was almost the same, so everyone should take a step back.

The imperial concubine looked at the report, and suddenly grasped the topic: "Why are the people shouting? Why is it unreasonable?"
