Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

Chapter 380 King Zhou ascends to the throne

"Urgent report from Nanhe!"

"When the Jin Yiwei followed the Zhao Mansion to inspect Taicang in the Nanhe River, except for Zhangde Mansion, all the other eight Taicang Mansion found large areas of empty valleys. It was suspected that there was a frost disaster during the harvest period!"

"Zhao's inspection team has withdrawn its grain tax team and is personally stationed in Taicang to request support from the imperial court!"

Snapped!

"what!"

After Emperor Zhu Chongba heard the situation reported by Jin Yiwei, he could no longer sit still.

Children who eat Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger, old women who collapse from hunger on the official road, and men who are forced to cook next year’s grain into a pot of gruel.

Fragments of various personal experiences from the past emerged before his eyes.

"I will go find His Highness the Crown Prince now."

Wang Ban understood that the matter was urgent and immediately left the Imperial Study Room and ran to the East Palace.

Erhu also stood out from the dark corner, always waiting for Emperor Zhu Chongba's dispatch.

"Asshole! Asshole! Why didn't you find out in advance!"

"Is there any interception of the news? It is approaching the end of the year, and the food shortage must not be leaked, otherwise it will inevitably cause panic among the people."

While waiting for Prince Zhu Biao and a group of important ministers, Emperor Zhu Chongba couldn't even drink tea and could only pace back and forth in the imperial study.

As for why this situation was not discovered in advance, Emperor Zhu Chongba himself understood it.

Let’s not talk about farmers not eating new grains. There are even one or two families who cook new grains when they encounter happy events. They dare not report to the grain chief when they can’t thresh rice. Otherwise, they won’t even be able to save the last bit of grain at home.

As for the grain director and those officials, why didn't anyone find out?

The food that goes to the rice vat in their home will only be rice grains!

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu Chongba couldn't control his inner anger.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Inspector has summoned all the officials, big and small, and issued this order, and also ordered the Jinyi Guards to assist."

The Jinyiwei who came back to report the news was still kneeling on the spot, waiting for an answer.

"...That's good, that's good."

"Where's King Zhou? His fiefdom is in Kaifeng. If something goes wrong, let him open his granary! If he dares to point fingers at the people, let's see how we deal with this bastard!"

"Your Majesty, the King of Zhou was already on his way back to Beijing when the incident occurred."

The kneeling Jin Yiwei answered again.

Emperor Zhu Chongba was relieved again until Prince Zhu Biao arrived.

"Father! I have ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to start raising food. Nanhe is close to the capital. It will only take more than a month at most before the food can reach Nanhe. Don't worry, Father."

Prince Zhu Biao was like a reassurance, and his arrival immediately made Emperor Zhu Chongba stop worrying.

"More than a month, very good, very good."

Emperor Zhu Chongba finally sat down safely again, but he was not completely relieved.

"Send the order! The King of Zhou does not have to return to the capital this year! Let him return to his fiefdom of Kaifeng immediately, open the granary to help the victims! And exempt the eight provinces of Nanhe from all taxes next year!"

"Yes!"

The Jin Yiwei who had been kneeling was finally able to get up and escape from the scene.

However, the imperial study room had not been quiet for long, and the fast horses from Guangzhou, Hubei and Suzhou and Hangzhou arrived again.

"Urgent report from Guanghu!"

"Urgent report from Suzhou and Hangzhou!"

Misfortunes never come alone, and blessings never come alone.

The two urgent reports that arrived next completely shattered the relationship between the prince and the emperor in recent years.

"This disaster has affected three provinces. The imperial court must send a capable official to the front line. Who do you think is more suitable?"

Emperor Zhu Chongba, who was sitting on his dragon throne, frowned because after much thought, the first candidate that appeared in his mind was the family he didn't want to choose.

He knew that this was an extremely terrifying thing.

Since then, in his huge dynasty, only one person in his family can be powerful.

Prince Zhu Biao naturally understood what his father meant and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Father, why don't you consider your fifth brother?"

"Zie'er? The main disaster-stricken area this time is Nanhe, and his fiefdom is in Kaifeng, so it's appropriate. But we're worried that your fifth brother is focused on medical skills and does a lot of bad things. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the burden. Take up this burden.”

Why were so many of the princes he gave birth to later sent to the frontiers, but the fifth prince, King Zhou, was placed in the inland?

Emperor Zhu Chongba knew that Prince Zhu Biao was trying to excuse his younger brother, but he didn't get used to it and said it directly.

"Father, since I returned from Caiyun last time, my fifth brother has been peaceful and stable in his fiefdom. The two volumes of medical books he wrote during this period were even included in the "Enlightenment Ceremony"."

"Come to think of it, he already knows his mistake, and maybe he's just waiting for an opportunity."

"Besides, although he is appointed as the coach this time, we can also appoint others as vanguard and staff."

In the imperial study room, Wang Ban and Er Hu were all considerate people. Prince Zhu Biao did not hide him, he turned around and ordered his personal eunuch Wang Ji to call Zhao Zheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

That is, the current head of the Zhao family.

"Father, Commander Jiang and General Tiger should have reported it recently. There seems to be some slight discussion in the court about Zhao's expulsion from the cabinet. Isn't this a good time to stop Youyou's mouth?"

Prince Zhu Biao stepped forward, and even Erhu and the others couldn't hear what he said next.

They only saw Emperor Zhu Chongba nodded slowly, then raised the corners of his mouth, and looked at the prince Zhu Biao next to him with increasingly satisfied eyes.

"Hahaha, Biao'er, you are growing up and becoming more and more like an emperor!"

"You're right."

Emperor Zhu Chongba thought about what his grown-up son had just said in his ear, and felt that it made sense.

"Father, regarding this matter, if we let everyone in the world know that it was the fifth brother who led the disaster relief team, we would announce in court alone that the Zhao family has joined."

"It's not like a delicious restaurant. When guests praise the delicious food and wine, they don't think of praising the chef, but praise the shopkeeper and reward the waiter who serves the food..."

"Of course, it's the cooking master's credit for the delicious food, but that will happen after they return to the capital to receive rewards, and in the capital, the Zhao family is most in need of rewards."

Yes.

The people in the capital are almost immune to the fact that the Zhao family is being rewarded. Unless there is a major population change in the capital, the story of the Zhao family will be spread in a few generations.

Because the Zhao family is really good at innovating and constantly giving out surprises.

As a result, Lao Zhu and Prince Zhu Biao gave up on this matter long ago. In addition, the territory of the Sun and Moon Dynasty became more and more vast, and Prince Zhu Biao was already thinking about moving the capital.

But Nanhe is different.

Although Zhao Mansion had a Central Plains king there.

But the people there, the people there, are still busy with their lives most of the time.

The King of Central Plains is just a god, but the King of Zhou is still alive! It will continue to be passed down on that land.

As long as this time, they can focus all their glory on King Zhou!

Emperor Zhu Chongba couldn't control his joy when he thought of such a scene.

Prince Zhu Biao stood aside. The future new king looked as plain as the two tiger kings and a half of them.
