Cannon Fodder Is King [Transmigration]

In this way, another half month passed.

On this day in early September, Meng Zezhi, who sneaked around from the cold palace and sent away more than a dozen ghosts, was in a good mood. He couldn't help drinking a few more glasses of wine, and then fell asleep drunkly.

Then Meng Zezhi had a dream.

He dreamed that he had become a dough, being touched by someone's hands, rubbed here and there, swollen and bitten again, the process was slow and long, and the end was comfortable.

When he was comfortable, he woke up and turned around. It was dawn.

Hearing the movement, the maids filed in. Two of them were responsible for opening the bed nets, and one of them served tea soup for gargle.

Meng Zezhi sat up, took a cup of tea, took a sip of strong tea, held it for a while, and spit it into the porcelain cup on the side.

When she got up and got out of bed, another court lady came over with warm water.

Meng Zezhi took the cloth towel and dipped it into the copper basin, and then found that there were a few more ruoruuowu hickeys on his neck.

He frowned.

At this moment, the maid who was making the bed searched out a letter from under the pillow: "Your Highness—"

"Huh?" Meng Zezhi turned his head and saw the letter in the court lady's hand, and he quickened the movement in his hand.

You don't have to think about it or know that this letter was from the client of last night.

After washing his face, he took the prostitution from the court lady and took a look at it--

The fact that the Yellow River in Henan burst its **** is indeed a hidden story.

In early August, the Yellow River was executed at Shibao in Xiaxun, Zhengzhou, but within two days, the gap widened from more than ten meters to more than one hundred meters, and the river was diverted to the south and poured into the Jialu River.

The Jialu River can be regarded as a thousand-year-old river. Its predecessor was the ‘gulf’ between the Chu and Han dynasties, and its fertile soil is thousands of miles along the coast.

Seeing that the river flooded the fertile fields on both sides of the river, the local prefect refused to listen to the persuasion of his subordinates and insisted on opening the embankment to discharge the flood.

Unexpectedly, due to the opening of the embankment downstream, the whole river was able to continue to flow. However, within two days, the upstream has stopped expanding and the breach that was being blocked suddenly expanded to more than three hundred meters, which coincided with heavy rain in the lower reaches. The dam, which was originally solid, began to burst on a large scale because it could not withstand the impact of the flood...

The floods affected a total of more than 800 villages in nine counties. All the victims, except those who were slightly more powerful, migrated to other places. There were 70,000 homeless people sleeping on the embankment, and countless deaths and injuries.

Here comes the point-

Half of the ten thousand hectares of fertile fields on both sides of the Jialu River belonged to the Palace of the Chu Kingdom, and the King of Chu was the title of the second prince. The prefect who ordered the opening of the embankment to release the water was the son-in-law of the Jiangxiahou Mansion, which is the natal family of the current queen and the second prince's family.

As for why the Shibao site in the Xiaxun County of Zhengzhou suddenly broke, the prefect of Geinna has been embezzling the river management funds from the Shibao site to reinforce the dams on the lower reaches of the Jialu River in the past four years.

No wonder the second prince sent Lou Shuxun to the south to provide relief.

"Natural disasters are even more man-made disasters." Meng Zezhi frowned and muttered to himself.

I just don't know how Emperor Guangde will deal with this matter.

"evil creature--"

Looking at the memorial in his hand, Emperor Guangde trembled all over, with blue veins on his forehead and his face flushed from the neck to the back of his ears.

The next moment, his staring boss spouted a mouthful of blood.

"Hurray—" Tao An breathed tightly when he saw this scene.

Emperor Guangde blocked Tao An's hand suddenly, he panted roughly, his eyes closed and opened, two tears slipped from the corner of his eyes.

"Cause the country and the people, the country and the people..."

This is his good son!

One is the chief culprit that triggered the riots among the refugees in Qingzhou in 22 years.

In order to fight for power and gain profits, a fornication of important court officials embezzled taxes and banks, fabricated imperial examination fraud cases, and now there has been such a tragic incident of the Yellow River bursting its banks.

If this world is handed over to such a person, how should the people live!

At this moment, Emperor Guangde finally made up his mind.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a deep breath, and said, "Tao An, go and get the memorial presented by the Ministry of Rites a few days ago."

Tao An's heart was overjoyed, but he didn't say: "Yes."

When Tao An found the memorial, Emperor Guangde took it and opened it, but it was a memorandum about drawing up the title of the five princes. The five big characters of Qin, Jin, Shu, Dai, and Ning were listed on the fine rice paper.

Emperor Guangde didn't hesitate, grabbed the imperial pen on the side and drew a circle on the Ning character, and then approved a quasi-character in the blank space.

"Return the zhezi to the Ministry of Rites, so that Zhao Hongyi quickly cleaned up the Liao Dynasty Palace and used it as the Ning Dynasty Palace."

Zhao Hongyi is the current minister of the Ministry of Industry, while the Liaowang Mansion is the residence of Emperor Guangde's second brother who failed to laugh at the end.

"Yes." Tao An breathed slowly.

...

"How could this happen?" In the study of Prince Chu's mansion, the second prince was pale with a secret letter sent by Lou Shuxun.

He never expected that the disaster in Henan would be so serious.

"His Royal Highness, don't panic." The second prince and concubine on the side reluctantly maintained their composure: "Maybe there is still room for change. The father has always been generous. You forgot. Last year, Qingzhou refugees rioted. ) Isn't it all right?"

"What do you know?" The second prince slapped on the desk with blue veins on his forehead and gritted his teeth: "Do you think that the father didn't want to deal with the old bait at the time? Domination threatens his position."

Speaking of this, he collapsed and murmured, "But it's different now. Isn't there still a Gu Shian living in Duanben Palace? Without me, my father can help Gu Shian up in a blink of an eye. ."

He was unable to accuse Emperor Guangde's cold blood, and there was only one thought left in his mind: He was finished, just like the prince who was overthrown by him, completely finished.

Hearing this, the second prince and concubine also realized the seriousness of the matter. She was confused, and then as if thinking of something, she blurted out: "His Royal Highness, let's run away!"

"Escape?" The second prince's eyes lit up.

The more the second prince concubine thinks about it, the more she feels that this matter is feasible, she said anxiously: "Yes, run away, Your Highness, let's go to Henan to make peace with Shilang Lou, and then go straight to Yunnan."

Lou Shuxun carried a lot of soldiers and horses by his side, and the second prince and concubine's father was a capital commander in Yunnan, and he had no fewer than 70,000 soldiers and horses.

"Yunnan?" How could the second prince not understand the meaning of the second prince and concubine, a fiery light rose in his eyes.

He had planned for so many years, and finally had today, so he was not willing to let him just get caught.

He gritted his teeth: "Okay, go to Yunnan."

A quarter of an hour later, three unpretentious carriages drove out of the backyard of the Royal Palace of Chu and went straight out of the city.

The carriage exited the inner city smoothly, but stopped when it was about to reach Yongdingmen.

"What's the matter?" the second prince asked anxiously.

"Dian, son, Tang Wang (eighth prince) is patrolling the chariots and horses of the city with soldiers." The coachman replied.

"What?" The second prince whitened his face, he didn't think much about it, and said repeatedly: "Quick, go back."

However, it is too late to say this.

The next moment, I heard someone shouting: "Enclose me all."

A neat and orderly sound of footsteps sounded and then stopped, followed by a familiar voice from outside the carriage: "We are all at the gate of the city, and turn back again. Could it be a guilty conscience."

The second prince was furious, but he had to endure it. He took a deep breath and lifted the curtain of the car. He barely pulled out a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Isn't this the old eight? Why aren't you sitting in Shuntian Mansion today?"

"Ah, it turned out to be the second brother. Didn't the second brother not go to court today?" The eighth prince said with a smile: "Isn't this a domestic slave who ran away from the British government? I guess he will go to the capital." When I ran away, I simply took someone to the gate of the city to try my luck. Why, the second brother also wants to go out of the city?"

At this time, how could the second prince not know what the eighth prince was making? Hearing that the eighth prince compared him to a domestic slave who committed trouble, a spark of anger burst into his eyes: "Gu Shihuai, you, you are cruel— —"

"With each other," the eighth prince smiled without a smile, and shouted: "Come on, send His Royal Highness Chu King back to the house."

"Gu Shihuai, don't be happy too early, you forgot, there is still a son of the Empress Yuan Dynasty in the palace..."

The eighth prince dug out his ears, not paying attention.

The second prince had been in the court for more than ten years, and he was finally ruined by him. Could he still be afraid of a fledgling kid?

What's more, his good father may not be able to toss for a few days.

...

Throughout September, the clouds floating in the sky were red.

On the banks of the Jialu River in Henan, more than forty officials fell to the ground, and the rest were dismissed, exiled, or sentenced to imprisonment.

After this incident, the entire Henan officialdom was empty.

The second prince was imprisoned in the mansion of the king of Chu for the crime of conspiracy, the queen was abolished, and all his party members were ransacked and exiled.

In the first ten days of October, the renovation of King Ning's Mansion was completed.

On the day of Meng Zezhi's move, the streets outside the palace were busy.

After the excitement, under the leadership of Zuo Changshi (the housekeeper), Meng Zezhi went to the study.

When the door was pushed open, there was a familiar face facing him. Regarding the presence of other people, Meng Zezhi bowed to the court and said, "Madam."

The Xiao family blessed his body and smiled with a particularly gentle smile: "His Royal Highness."

Meng Zezhi's eyes fell on the men and women in the study.

Xiao Clan said: "I'm here to introduce His Highness, this is Fang Jiucheng, the head of the Fang family of the emperor merchant."

The middle-aged man immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Cao Min Fang Jiucheng has seen His Royal Highness Ning."

"This is the wife of the prefect of Wenzhou Prefecture."

...

"This is sincere Boding Weizhong."

"They are all partners in my business."

Meng Zezhi didn't say a word, and the Xiao clan drove everyone away.

She just looked at Meng Zezhi up and down, and then said softly: "These days, Your Royal Highness is having a good time."

Meng Zezhi moved his lips: "Everything is fine."

Xiao's eyes were red, but he still smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is doing well, I'm relieved."

Meng Zezhi looked moved: "Mother."

"Don't, Your Highness," the Xiao family was about to cry: "Don't call these two words again in the future. Long live will be unhappy if you know it."

After all, all of Guangde's love for Meng Zezhi at the moment is based on his guilt and nostalgia for the empress of filial piety.

Meng Zezhi followed with red eyes.

"Okay, let's not talk about it." The Xiao family reluctantly pulled out a smile: "Although you are now a prince, but you have no foundation at all. I have a woman in the court with limited ability, so I really can't help. What are you? Those people just now, you can use it, and you can't use it, it's mainly this—"

The Xiao family took a wooden box from Ji Guyang and handed it to Meng Zezhi.

Meng Zezhi opened his eyes and saw a silver bill worth one thousand taels. The height of the wooden box was at least 1.5 million taels.

His expression was stagnant: "This—"

Xiao said: "My mother has no abilities, that is, she can do some business. Now you are standing in this position, and you will inevitably hold these banknotes when you have money."

"No." Meng Zezhi refused subconsciously.

The Xiao family cannot refuse: "You forget, I said it a long time ago. After a hundred years, my body and self will be yours, and my words will count. So now I just give you what belongs to you in advance. you."

"but--"

"That's it." Xiao said: "I give you these, also hoping to increase your winning bargaining chip, as long as you are good, I will be relieved."

Hearing this, Meng Zezhi opened his mouth, his face couldn't hide his emotions: "Thank you, mother...madam."

Hearing this, Xiao's expression was gratified and sad.
