C82 Court Debate
With the end of the Rites of Heavenly Worship, there was now an additional Qin Wang in the capital.
The news of the prince's mansion changing its name to King Qin's Mansion spread like wildfire throughout the capital.
"It has to be said that his highness the prince is truly extraordinary!"
"In my opinion, if one doesn't shout, then it is already a feat that will shock the world with one strike!" You still don't know? I heard that Your Highness Duke of Qin has made a huge contribution at the Chiming Country! "
"I don't know if it has any great effects, but from now on, it looks like there won't be a peaceful life for our Ming Capital!"
"Apart from the Crown Prince, this is the Crown Prince!"
"A prince as king, acting alone is incredible!"
"That's right, now that the errand boy is properly done, the only thing lacking is the feudal fiefdom."
For an entire three days, the entire Ming Capital revolved around Qin Fann, talking about no less than a thousand topics.
"Scram..."
"All of you, scram for this prince …"
In Martial Palace, Qin Lee's injuries had already healed thanks to the pill that Qin Yu had given him.
"Your Highness, please calm your anger!"
"Mistress, don't be so angry!"
"It's Second Brother, why are you angry at Fourth Bro? There are more important things for us to do now! "
"What could be more important than killing that bastard! "AHH!" "Tell me!
Qin Lee was enraged. In his entire life, he had never suffered such a defeat before.
To him, being heavily injured and missing out on the Rites of Heavenly Worship was no different from a bolt out of the blue.
Amongst all the princes, his merit points, his cultivation, and his strength had all reached the point of establishing his own residence. It was even possible for him to use some tricks to wait upon a king.
But now it all belonged to the bastard.
"No way, second brother!" You don't even know this? I bet that Hall of A-Fang is definitely discussing this matter right now, because no matter how late we get there, it will be too late. "
"What is it?" Qin Lee was confused.
He'd been in a rage these past few days and had a deep grudge against his brothers.
"A locust plague has appeared on Tianshui County. Right now, not even a blade of grass lives on that side."
Qin Lee instantly stood up when he heard that.
The ecstasy on his face couldn't be concealed at all.
Sky Disaster was a terrifying synonym for all commoners. However, in the eyes of these princes, it was a great opportunity for them to get rich and gain power.
"No!" I have to get to the palace now, or it'll be too late. "
After saying that, he began to run like mad.
Hall of A-Fang.
The atmosphere of the assembly fell into silence once again.
"Your Majesty, we cannot delay any longer. The Tianshui County is far from the capital, and even a partridge bird would need a day and a night to send a message.
"Unless there is no other choice, this place will definitely not ask for help from the capital. You can only imagine how difficult the current Tianshui County is, your majesty! " Wang Dang kneeled down and begged.
"Wang Minister of State is wrong. Such a natural disaster, the manpower, material and financial resources are still in the statistics, and all the departments need time to plan it out. "We can't drag it out any longer. Don't tell me you want us to come up with food and money?"
The speaker was Shen Pingxu, the Minister of Revenue.
"Enough!"
"My people are in deep water and deep water, yet you guys are still in the mood to argue."
"All departments must mobilize the materials immediately to support the Tianshui County. We are close to the New Year and yet we encountered such a thing. We will definitely not allow the citizens of Tianshui County to live through this New Year in cold and bitterness, do you all understand? " Qin Yu's expression was serious, and he showed his might without getting angry.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing to do now is to select a leader to take charge of the relief efforts."
"Do you all have any suitable candidates?"
"Report!" The Second Prince, Fifth Prince, and Sixth Prince have arrived. "
"This son greets royal father."
The three of them were extraordinarily heroic as they spoke in unison.
There was some distance between the three of them, and it was obvious that the competition between them had already been formed. As for the appearance of these three people, none of the ministers were surprised.
In fact, the reason they were stalling for time just now was because they were waiting for their respective masters to come.
"Father, this son heard about the disaster that occurred in the Tianshui County, and was terrified and uneasy. I humbly request royal father to allow this son to go to the Tianshui County to provide relief. "
"This son requests for an order."
"This son is willing to share the burden for royal father."
The three of them exchanged words, and soon the other ministers began to speak up for their masters.
Qin Yu had already been impatient to begin with, but now that his son was here to stir up trouble, he felt a headache coming on. How could he not know the plans of his sons?
However, the letter from the partridge bird clearly described that the materials involved in this disaster would be incomparably huge in the entire county. With such great benefits, he was very clear about the situation his sons were in. However, if they didn't appoint a prince, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to contain the situation.
"If only Hongfei was here." Qin Yu couldn't help but to think of his eldest son.
"May I ask Your Highness, if you go to Tianshui County, how should you arrange for disaster relief?"
Wang Dang stood up and asked directly.
For a moment, there was complete silence.
Everyone knew that the test was here. The next answer would determine who the beautiful servant landed on.
"Naturally, they strictly supervise and distribute the food to the different cities in the Tianshui County. Every household will feed and porridge for them, allowing them to peacefully pass this winter."
"Then, how is every household's food standard? How is the difference between each household's poverty level?"
Qin Feng didn't wait for Qin Lee when he heard this.
"Wang Minister of State's words are ridiculous. The circumstances of each county's household are different, so even though they are in Tianshui County, the county's namelist is not necessarily clear. When we are in the Beijing temple, Wang Minister of State actually wanted us to say such a detailed and ridiculous thing. "
"As your son has seen, the locust plague has shocked us all. Only this son of mine had only needed half a day to infiltrate into the Tianshui County to understand the entire situation. "The plague of locusts is serious, and this is my plan. I will seek truth from facts and let most of the people survive the winter peacefully."0
People in the hall nodded after Qin Feng finished his words. Even Qin Yu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was slightly tempted.
"Then let me ask you, Tianshui County City is twenty-seven, County City is sixty-three, and among them, the number of aristocratic landlords is as numerous as the stars. Does the Fifth Prince have any plans in mind?" Wang Dang said this without any trace of politeness.
As Minister of State, he was very clear about the current situation of Tianshui County. No matter what, they could not let these lords be responsible for such a tragic situation. Otherwise, at least half of the citizens in the Tianshui County would die.
At that time, they could make an excuse to rebel against the people and use the army to suppress them.
These princes were extremely skilled at such tactics. Which Sky Disaster? Weren't these few the ones making a lot of money and gaining a lot of power?
In the face of such a sharp question, even the Fifth Prince that had a glib tongue instantly didn't have any confidence.
To them, these landlords and nobles weren't able to rope them in, so how could they possibly suppress them? If they were to take responsibility, it was naturally to win over these local powers and divide it among themselves. They got money and part of the land, and those people took it in large numbers. It was a win-win situation.
For a moment, the ministers began arguing again.
Wang Minister of State was too harsh on this side, but he said it was related to national destiny, so how could they allow such a joke?
"Enough!" Qin Yu was furious.
"The second rank officials are all making a ruckus like thugs in the ground. What a shame!"
"The court... hmph..."
