Chapter 138
The disaster victims who entered or were rushing to the capital were well resettled, and the reputation of the court and the emperor was finally restored a bit. In Anhui and Henan, with the launch of the relief work of the four princes, the Shi family was uprooted, and the Niu family was uprooted. They also took out most of the money. Although the disaster victims in the two places will still resent, they have already begun to plan for the next year's planting.

The peasants at the bottom will always be like this, they suffer but endure, they are ignorant but tenacious, as long as there is a glimmer of hope of survival, they will continue to live, just like the weeds on the roadside.

Because of the fear of the epidemic after the catastrophe, the fourth prince decided to stay in the two places to continue to preside over the work, and borrowed a lot of imperial doctors from the imperial court.Facing the reluctance of the imperial doctor, the fourth prince smiled gently and said, "Since your lords eat your fortune, you should share your worries."

Dou Rong consulted the topography of the two places, and reported to the fourth prince: "Now the disaster has been resolved, but in two months, the first snow will fall. If we don't arrange it properly, I'm afraid it will be another disaster."

The fourth prince has already made up his mind, "Let's ask Wang Tingri for help. He knows a lot of people, and the money copied from the Shi family is enough to buy supplies for the victims in the winter. As for the others, [-]% of the local big households in Anhui have been robbed. Go talk to the head of the Niu family tomorrow to see if he is willing to take the lead in donating something, whether it’s quilts or clothes, or money, people who want to do good deeds like this are very willing to do it.”

Dou Rong deeply agreed, "The Niu family will definitely be willing."

Dou Rong also looked down on these families. There were not many talented children in the family, but they dared to act as a domineering power. Just the news from the victims and the things they found from the yamen in the past few days, The Niu family could be fired, but the Niu family did not think about rebelling like the Shi family, and the emperor is now investigating the Shi family's affairs, so he is unwilling to make more troubles.

After the matter of the Shi family was exposed, the emperor was worried that the army was out, and only left one-third of Ren Wuyun's people, and the rest returned to the capital for defense.

Prime Minister Geng and several ministers all looked constipated. This emperor is really lucky. The few princes in the current dynasty have no military power except the fourth prince, and the fourth prince was assigned to relieve disasters. The army is gone, even if there are still some, even if there are Imperial Guards and Jinwu Guards, it is still very dangerous, okay?
Fortunately, the emperor came back to his senses now and knew that he had transferred the man back.

Geng Xiang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, if something really happens, no matter if it succeeds or not, he must be the first to die.Even if he didn't die, he wouldn't have to be an official afterwards.

Wei Qingyu felt that the emperor was very courageous, "If the emperor has to investigate first and then collect evidence like other emperors, I'm afraid it will be bloody again." In the TV series, the officials who collected evidence died one after another or even exterminated the case. few.

Wang Tingri smiled, "But such arbitrariness can easily lead to unjust, false and wrongly decided cases. Fortunately, the Shi family really has the intention of treason. Otherwise, wouldn't the dissatisfied family be wronged? Even if you know that you have made a mistake, you will not correct it." Jinkouyuyan, Jinkouyuyan, said this.

Wei Qingzhen frowned.

Wang Tingri dropped the chess piece in his hand, turned the wheelchair to open the window, looked at the bustling crowd outside, and said with a smile: "But even the little Shi family is thinking of rebelling, sister, tell me, how many people are there in this world now?" People are planning this? Tell me, can the current emperor still sleep at night?"

Wei Qingyu's complexion changed slightly, but Wang Tingri's smile became more cheerful, and he looked at the people below with mockery, "I don't know how future generations will write when they look back on this period of history. Grandpa bought them time with the Wang family, but Unfortunately, no one seems to be able to turn the tide."

Wei Qingyu grabbed the handles of his subordinates, looked at the crowd outside who knew nothing, there were two children who hugged their mother's legs and refused to leave because their mother refused to buy them candied haws, the mother patted each other helplessly, Turning around and bought a bunch of candied haws for each of them, the two children immediately smiled.

Wei Qingzhen's heart sank slightly, do they know that the world is going to be in chaos?

Wei Qingzhen shuddered, and said solemnly: "Cousin, grandfather will not want to see this result, and, how can you be confident that you can protect your aunt, cousin, me, brother Tong, and even the people from my cousin's in-law's house?" ?”

Wang Tingri laughed and said, "Sister Yu doesn't think that cousin has the ability to stop him?"

Seeing Wei Qingshi's serious face, Wang Tingri smiled and said: "I'm just a small person, I have nothing but some money, how can I expect those big people's thoughts? Let alone change their thoughts, That road is a road of no return, as long as you walk on it, how can you turn around if you can turn around?"

Wei Qingzhen had nothing to say immediately.

What Wang Tingri could think of, Geng Xiang, Zeng Miao and others also thought of, but they didn't know who else would rebel, but they both set their sights on the four kings at the same time.

However, the emperor in the deep palace was the first to rule out the four kings. He turned around and couldn't think of anyone else harboring evil intentions, or the whole world was on the verge of breaking out?
Others may doubt the four kings, but the four kings have an agreement with the royal family that they will not rebel, but they can choose to watch.

The emperor calculated in his mind how many people he could support, but found that all of them became indistinguishable.

When the emperor was anxious, the four princes had roughly arranged for the victims. Finally, under the planning of Dou Rong and under the protection of Ren Wuyun, the four princes ascended to release a message of comfort from the imperial court to the victims. , the court may not pursue it, but if similar incidents occur in the future, the court will punish them as treason.

Not only gave the other party some benefits, but also frightened the other party, and then gave them money and some supplies for the winter, so that the victims could return home.

And Wang Tingri also followed the order of the fourth prince to make good contact with several merchants. They will drive out a batch of winter supplies before the first snowfall and sell them to the victims of the two places at a price slightly higher than the cost. The reward and a vacant position that came to the court were engraved on the stone tablet just like the officials who were forced to donate by Ren Wuyun last time.

Oh, the last time the emperor cooperated with Ren Wuyun to rob a lot of officials, he felt a little guilty afterwards, so he set up a stone tablet in front of the palace gate, and all officials who donated can engrave their names on it. Seeing Xindong, although he really wanted to engrave his name on it, the emperor said proudly that it was for the court officials.

It's a pity that Wei Qingyu is not an official, otherwise she will definitely raise objections, and if someone pays for it and refuses to do it, isn't it just a name?There are plenty of steles, but she doesn't understand why the emperor is arrogant.

Fortunately, Wang Tingri didn't hear it. If he heard it, he would definitely tell her that scholars look down on merchants, and scholars who are officials look down on merchants even more. On the stele, there is even a possibility of being overtaken by merchants, and they will be dismissed from office!

Naturally, the emperor would not offend the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for such a small amount of money.

The drought in the two places caused losses in all aspects. The emperor took this opportunity to suppress many people and put his people in important positions in various departments, especially the officials of the two provinces. They were almost wiped out. Fortunately, this year happened to be kind Section, talents and so on just make up for it.As a result, people from all walks of life in the court began to act.

Even Wei Zhiyang wanted to let it out.He is now being teased by his colleagues in the capital, and the emperor even made no secret of his dissatisfaction with him. He has no future in the capital, and maybe he can make some achievements when he goes out. Even if he can't, he should be more free outside.

And the one who gained the most is probably the fourth prince.The fourth prince was pushed out by the sixth prince to go out for disaster relief this time. Unexpectedly, he not only successfully completed it, but also took the following snow disaster into consideration. Quickly suppress the opponent.

Although the fourth prince just wrote a secret letter and it was none of his business afterwards, it was just like this that the emperor trusted him even more.He put the credit for suppressing the rebellion on his head, and Ren Wuyun ranked second instead.Anyway, the two have a good friendship, Ren Wuyun doesn't mind.

After the fourth prince returned to Beijing, the emperor named him Chengwang, becoming the first prince to be named king, and he was allowed to open a mansion. In addition, he was also placed in the household department and began to officially intervene in the court.

Ren Wuyun's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, I'm going to the Ministry of War, please let me go to the Ministry of War."

The faces of the ministers who were still in the study changed slightly, the emperor gave Ren Wuyun a reproachful look, and said in a deep voice, "You only know how to fight, but there is no vacancy in the Ministry of War right now. Jinwu Guard, Jinwu Guard just lacks the right general, so that counts as your promotion, how about it?"

Sixty percent of the people in the Jinwu Guard are Ren Wuyun's acquaintances, and none of them fought together when they were young.Ren Wuyun thought about it for a while, and felt that the Jinwu Guard should be the Jinwu Guard, which is better than staying at home. Now that the Uighur has just been settled, there is no battle to fight.

"The emperor, if you fight again in the future, I will come back to be my general. You can't detain me in the Jinwu Guard."

The former Jinwu Guard not only took charge of the defense of the imperial palace and the capital, but also mastered Fenghou, roads, aquatic plants, etc.There are countless military officers below, and once there is a war, it will go through the hands of the Jinwu Guards, who will allocate generals, pay and issue orders, but the Ministry of War has become a display instead.

The first emperor felt that the Jinwu Guard was too powerful, so he cut the duties and rights of the Jinwu Guard by more than half. The current Jinwu Guard is only responsible for protecting the safety of the palace and the emperor, and the rest is assigned to the Ministry of War. He was promoted to the right general of the third rank of the Jinwu Guard, but in fact his rights were cut a lot.

The emperor nodded helplessly and said, "I can't bear to part with you as a general."

As for Dou Rong, this award is even bigger, because Dou Rong participated in Enke, and now the results have been released, No. 8 in the second class, which is considered a very good result.

The emperor directly transferred people to the household department, and the official position of the fifth rank fell, because he himself will inherit the government of the town in the future, so it is not good to give any more rewards, just some gold and silver treasures.
