Chapter 6
"I don't know?" the young emperor said with a sneer, "All the refugees from Jiangzhou have come to Kyoto, and you still say you don't know. I'm sorry that all the civil and military officials in this dynasty are blind and deaf, so what's the use of the imperial court raising you blind and deaf people?" ?”

The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty were as silent as cicadas.

Feng Chenghan glanced at the people kneeling in the hall with a pair of sharp phoenix eyes. If someone hadn't risked his life to hand the fold into his hand, he wouldn't have known that there were so many people in the court who didn't dare to offend him. What a great uncle.

In order to deal with the old fox Leng Tianming, he had to support his uncle, fight with the old fox in the ring, and pull out the old fox's claws.

He also made his uncle the King of Chang'an. Unexpectedly, he would soon become the second Leng Tianming.

"The embankment in Jiangzhou was reinforced with funds from the imperial court the year before last, but it was washed away without even being able to withstand a single flood. It is written in the booklet that someone embezzled the money spent on strengthening the embankment and cut corners when reinforcing the embankment, causing the embankment to collapse. It was impossible to withstand the flood, which caused so much damage.”

Many ministers secretly raised their heads and glanced at King Chang'an who was kneeling in front of them, knowing each other's understanding.Since the prefect of Jiangzhou belongs to the King of Chang'an, whose pocket can this money go into?
The right minister frowned and thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the top priority is to send people to Jiangzhou to provide disaster relief and investigate the embezzlement of money to strengthen the river embankments."

Feng Chenghan glanced at the Prime Minister and asked, "Does anyone recommend Aiqing?"

The right minister lowered his head and said: "I can't think of who to send?"

King Chang'an is currently the only king of the opposite sex in Tianyuan Kingdom. Although he has no fiefdom, King Chang'an's ancestral home is Jiangzhou. It can be said that the entire Jiangzhou is his world. If an outsider goes to Jiangzhou to investigate the case of embezzlement of Mo River embankment money, he will not be able to communicate with the emperor if he does not investigate. , if it is an investigation, there will be no return.

Many ministers prayed secretly in their hearts, hoping that this errand would not fall on them.

Feng Chenghan smiled and finally set his sights on his uncle, King Chang'an, "If I remember correctly, King Chang'an is from Jiangzhou!"

King Chang'an narrowed his eyes, wondering what his good nephew was planning. "Exactly."

"The King of Chang'an is from Jiangzhou, so he is naturally more familiar with the situation in Jiangzhou than others. Then he will send the King of Chang'an to Jiangzhou to provide disaster relief and investigate the embezzlement of river embankment funds. Do you have any objections?"

Except for the people from the Chang'an King faction, all the other ministers shouted: "Your Majesty is wise."

The right minister smiled and said: "The King of Chang'an is from Jiangzhou. It is best to send the King of Chang'an to provide disaster relief and investigate the corruption case."

The Minister of Household Affairs also said: "The emperor is wise and the King of Chang'an is loyal and loves the people. He is the best choice for disaster relief and investigation."

King Chang'an lowered his eyelids to block the sinister look in his eyes.

"King Chang'an, I will leave the matter of Jiangzhou to you." Feng Chenghan looked at King Chang'an and said, "You must settle the people of Jiangzhou well, find out those who embezzled money from Mohe River Embankment, and find out the amount of money from River Embankment." Wherever it goes, recover the money."

King Chang'an cupped his hands, took a deep breath and said, "I will live up to the emperor's instructions."

"Everyone, please get up!" Feng Chenghan raised his hand.

Everyone stood up, and after a while, Wang Xin, the chief chamberlain supervisor in the palace, shouted: "If there is something to do, we will start, and if there is nothing, we will leave the court."

The emperor was so angry that the civil and military officials in the court naturally did not dare to mention the matter of the post-election draft. They stood silently for a while and then withdrew from the court.

The emperor left, and the ministers slowly walked out of the Jinluan Palace, with King Chang'an at the forefront.

The Minister of Hubu walked to the right side of the Prime Minister, looked at the King of Chang'an in front, smiled and whispered: "The Emperor's move is really clever. He asked the King of Chang'an to go to disaster relief and investigate the embezzlement of Mo River embankment money. No matter how many people are involved here, Man, this King of Chang'an has to push one of his own people out, and all the money that has been corrupted has to be spit out. Let the King of Chang'an cut himself off, the emperor is really tall!"

If someone else was in charge, such results would not be achieved.Not only will the stolen money not be recovered, but his life will be lost in Jiangzhou.

The right minister stroked his beard and said: "Our emperor is very powerful! Otherwise, how could we bring down that old fox Leng Tianming." Because the former emperor placed too much emphasis on the sycophant Leng Tianming, the government was almost completely controlled by Leng Tianming, and the new emperor ascended the throne. Later, he was hampered by Leng Tianming everywhere.Leng Tianming's thoughts were well known to Sima Zhao.

But the new emperor pretended to rely on Leng Tianming, and slowly went dormant, eventually catching up with Leng Tianming and his followers.

And now the King of Chang'an is already ready to become the second Leng Tianming. The emperor sent King Chang'an to Jiangzhou this time to defeat King Chang'an.

As soon as Feng Chenghan came down from the court, Aunt Cui from Yunxiang Palace came.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites you to go to Yunxiang Palace," Aunt Cui said with her knees bent.

Fengcheng glanced at Aunt Cui coldly, then turned around and headed in the direction of Yunxiang Palace. The news about his mother was quite fast!

Yunxiang Palace.

In the luxurious palace, a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a red palace dress and a phoenix crown was leaning on the Arhat bed, squinting and enjoying the massage from the palace maid.

"The Emperor has arrived." The eunuch sang from outside.

The beautiful woman opened her eyes, and within a moment she saw her son wearing a black nine-clawed golden dragon robe walking into the hall.

"Slave, please see your Majesty." The maids serving in the palace knelt down and saluted.

Feng Chenghan raised his hand, stood in the hall, bowed his hands to the beautiful woman on the Arhat's bed, and called out: "Mother."

Aunt Cui brought a stool and said, "Your Majesty, please sit down."

Feng Chenghan sat down and looked at his mother, who was still beautiful, expressionlessly, with distant eyes.

The Queen Mother looked at her son with a cold face, and she still didn't understand. Why was this son obviously not close to her at all?And she didn't like this son either.I wonder what mother can like a son who has a cold face every day.

"My mother heard that a minister today advised you to make your cousin Yan'er your queen. Not only did you not agree, but you also got angry?"

Feng Chenghan smiled and said: "The news from the Queen is really fast. The Queen received it just after I went to court."

The Queen Mother did not hear the sarcasm in his words, and frowned and said: "You are not young anymore. It is time for you to become a queen and have children. Your cousin Yan'er grew up under the Queen Mother's watch, and she and you are the same. She is a childhood sweetheart and a member of our own family. Making her our queen is the best thing and the most reassuring thing for us. What are you still hesitating about?"

She really didn't understand, what was going on in her son's mind?Yan'er is his biological cousin, and it is his uncle who has been helping him since he ascended the throne.

If he marries Yan'er as the queen, his uncle will help him in the previous dynasty, and Yan'er will help him in the harem. Now the harem in the previous dynasty will be their own, wouldn't he be able to sit back and relax?
Feng Chenghan sneered in his heart, it was precisely because he was one of his own family that he couldn't rest assured.

"The Jiangzhou is flooded and the people are displaced. I am worried all day long and can't sleep at night. I have no intention of establishing a queen at this time. I'd better wait to discuss the matter of establishing a queen!"

Seeing that he was using political affairs as an excuse again, the Queen Mother said unhappily: "The harem cannot be without a master for a day."

Since he was deposed, she had mentioned letting Yan'er enter the palace as his queen, but he always used political affairs as an excuse to delay it again and again.

Feng Chenghan said: "Now that the harem is being taken care of by Concubine Li, I don't think there will be any problem. My sons and ministers still have memorials to approve. If my mother has nothing else to do, I will leave first." He said and stood up directly. He stood up, clasped his hands and saluted, turned around and left.
