Exiled to Lingnan, my plants are miraculous

Chapter 16 The turmoil in the court
  "Snapped!"

A bunch of memorials were thrown among the courtiers.

"Who can tell me, where did the plague in the south come from? Where did the refugees outside the city come from?"

Sitting on the dragon chair made of gold was a young man with a weak crown. At this time, his face was full of anger, and the bead curtain above his head was shaking in a wide arc.

"Your Majesty, calm down."

The adults in red, blue, and blue official uniforms seemed to have a tacit understanding. They all knelt down neatly and shouted to the emperor to calm down. No one answered the emperor's questions directly.

"Besides kneeling down, what else do you do? Answer me, are you dumb?"

However, there was still silence down there, and no one answered.

"Your Majesty, where is your demeanor?"

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a dark yellow python robe glanced at the emperor sitting in the high hall, his attitude could not be described as arrogant.

The young man clenched his hands tightly, controlling the look of anger and hatred in his eyes, and bit his lower lip in frustration until the smell of blood bloomed in his mouth.

He gently scraped the tea lid on the tea bowl, took a sip and placed it on the table.

"Have you forgotten everything that the emperor taught you in the past? You must pay attention to the royal manners when encountering anything, and you must not disgrace the royal family at any time. Don't be in a hurry when you do anything. There is no use in being anxious. Things happen. , what is needed now is how to solve this crisis.”

Prince Jing turned over the memorials on the table and tapped his fingertips on the chairs, as if tapping on everyone's hearts.

"Prime Minister, have you received any discounts before about heavy rains for several months?"

The prime minister who was lying on the ground shivered. This was not a young man sitting high up on top. If you want to fool him, you should wash your neck in advance!

"Back to King Jing, I received memorials from the governor of Nizhou and the governor of Kanzhou two months ago. They both said that it had rained for two months in the territory under their jurisdiction, but the rainfall was not heavy, so the minister did not pay attention to it. . It’s Wei Chen’s fault, please King Jing to punish me.”

"How about you, Minister of the Ministry of Industry? Have you received the memorial to strengthen the river embankment?"

"Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites, have you received the memorial that refugees are besieging the city?"

"Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, have you received any news about changes in private prices? Why haven't disaster relief funds been distributed? Why haven't you organized wealthy families to resettle the refugees?"

"Minister of the Ministry of War, have you received the memorial from the southern garrison asking for help? Why didn't you find any refugees when you inspected the security of the capital?"

"Taiyin Hospital, the plague is raging in the south now. I wonder if you have developed a treatment prescription?"

"Minister of Punishment, I remember that an exile team went to Lingnan last month. Have you received any news from your subordinates?"

Prince Jing ignored the Prime Minister who was still kowtowing and asked all the ministers in the court several questions. No one could escape the responsibility this time.

"Prince Jing, please calm down. I deserve death for my crime!"

Everyone's heart is filled with panic, everyone will suffer!
  "Death, why do I want you to die? Death is so simple. Drinking the poisonous wine will relieve you of everything."

These words made everyone's backs wet in the winter, and their hearts felt even colder. It was obvious that King Jing's words made them scared.

The heart of the young man sitting on the dragon chair was also cold. These ministers completely surrendered to the majesty of the emperor's uncle and regarded himself as the real emperor as nothing. How pathetic he was!

"The first-grade officials present were fined three years, the second-grade officials were fined two years, the third-grade officials were fined one year, and the fourth-grade officials were fined half a year. All Beijing officials raised a donation of 10,000 taels, and those who did not meet the standard were demoted one level. "

"Xie Wen immediately ordered 50,000 troops from the Imperial City to clear out the refugees, escort people from the Imperial Hospital to the epidemic areas, and escort relief food."

Prince Jing specifically poked at their sore spots, "It's a good idea to resettle the refugees outside the city. I'll see the results within two days."

Prince Jing left these words and walked out of this splendid house.

"Next morning!"

The eunuch's sharp voice awakened the minister's thoughts while he was still kneeling on the ground.    "Best congratulations to Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty!"

All the officials felt sad in their hearts. King Jing had not paid attention to the government affairs this year, claiming to be sick and recuperating at home.

During this year, the young and immature emperor was manipulated and deceived in various ways, which inflated his mentality. Now it seems that Prince Jing intends to teach the emperor a lesson, a lesson he will never forget.

It's just these people who have become cannon fodder. No, it should be the refugees in Daqian and the people who died from floods and plagues. They don't have any love for the king. If Prince Jing is crowned, Daqian will end. It is about to collapse, and smart people are already thinking about when to resign and return to the countryside to avoid this disaster.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The young emperor's room was littered with broken porcelain, but no one kneeling on the ground dared to dissuade him.

The exile team also divided into two teams, with more and more people having fever. The good news is that no one has died yet, and they are all standing strong.

When Yang Dajun saw the dense towering trees in front of him, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"We are finally out of the epidemic area, woo woo woo, I finally survived!"

"Haha, haha, I survived. I want to keep this sour mask as a family heirloom and tell them how my grandfather bravely crossed the epidemic area."

Everyone in the Lin family took off the protective clothing made of oil paper that they had been covering for more than ten days, and took off their masks. Fortunately, the temperature has dropped these days. Otherwise, the clothes that are not breathable will easily become sweaty, and people will be prone to cold. God is doing this for them. The Lin family escorted everyone.

"Rest in place for one day, and we will reach Lingnan in half a month's journey."

"In half a month, we will be separated. When you arrive in Lingnan, you will most likely be assigned to a small mountain village. I remember the exiled prisoners I knew before mentioned it.

The indigenous residents here are not only very xenophobic, but also very tough. There are also many venomous snakes and insects here. In order to survive, the locals have learned to control the venomous insects and snakes. If they don't want to die, don't provoke them. "

Finally arriving at the destination, Yang Dajun had better betray everyone. If someone later is rehabilitated or becomes prosperous again, if one person can remember this small kindness and help them casually, it will be enough for them to be brilliant.

"Sir, is Lingnan so scary?"

"Are the local people so arrogant? Does the local government not care about it?"

It’s such a terrible thing to hear that the local residents have tough folk customs and use insects to kill people at will. How can they survive?

"Of course, if I can give you some benefits in the history books of the allocated places, I believe that Lingnan is so big that there will definitely be villages composed of pure exiles from Jingzhong or Daqian. Then it will depend on what you do."

Everyone can be regarded as friends in need, and Yang Dajun still hopes that they will have a good ending.

"We will hand over in Lingnan County, and local officials will escort you to the decentralization area. Remember to buy more medicine against poisonous snakes and venomous insects, because in the first few years, you will not be able to leave the exiled village.

According to my information over the years, 80% of the prisoners exiled to Lingnan died from venomous snakes and insects. Don’t think that you will relax after surviving the journey of exile. In fact, the real test is still in Lingnan. If you can survive a day, you will be considered a profit! "

The people in Daqian were originally very worried about the place of exile, but now that they were frightened like this, all of them turned pale and their faces were filled with fear, especially the women, who were trembling with fear.

"I won't go, I won't go, sir, you are asking me to die!"

"My lord, my lord, is there any way to avoid these poisonous insects!"

Inadvertently, Lin Yue's second sister-in-law put a few banknotes into Yang Dajun's arms with trembling hands and looked at him expectantly.

"Sir, we were ignorant before. My daughter is the third daughter-in-law of the Prime Minister's Palace. If you go to her with this, she will agree to any request."

"My lord, my lord, we have been together for three months, please have mercy on us!"

"Yes! Sir, just tell us what you can do!"

A large group of people took silver, gold, jewelry, and banknotes and stuffed them into Yang Dajun's arms, like a drowning man grabbing the last straw.
