Chapter 3 Set up East Factory to monitor the world(1/2)
"His Majesty."
"The prisoner has been executed."
Cao Zhengchun bowed to Li Si and said.
In the hall, all the civil and military officials were silent and looked at Cao Zhengchun with their eyes as if they were looking at a devil.
They never dreamed that Li Jingzhong, a great eunuch, would end like this.
"alright."
"You go back."
Li Si waved his hand.
Then, Li Si's eyes turned, sat upright on the dragon throne, and looked at the ministers.
"Now my dear friends talk about how to solve the drought."
After hearing this, the Minister of Revenue calmed down and immediately spoke: "Return to Your Majesty, first of all, we should open the national treasury to support the disaster area in Shuzhong, and temporarily alleviate the urgent need."
"Then your Majesty will issue an order to accept refugees from Shu in a timely manner to prevent further deterioration of the situation." The Minister of Revenue said quickly. It was obvious that he had already thought about these words and could order them to be implemented just by waiting for the emperor's consent.
"I'm sure." Li Si nodded.
The suggestions about the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue are indeed the best way to do it now.
It can prevent further fermentation of events to the greatest extent.
"but!"
“That’s not enough!”
Li Si's voice changed.
"If it was a month ago."
“It’s enough!”
"But now, a month has passed!"
"How many people died in this month under the influence of the drought?"
"To what extent is the public grievance accumulated?"
"Have you ever thought about these?"
Li Si's voice echoed in the hall.
"this"
The ministers were silent.
They have indeed thought about what Li Si said.
only
No one dares to say it!
"The old minister is willing to go to Shu to help the people in Shu vent their anger!"
The Minister of Revenue said firmly.
One month of drought.
The Tang Dynasty royal family did nothing!
Ignore the people in Shu and suffer heavy casualties!
In this case, just relief and support is useless.
An explanation must be given to the people of Shu!
Simply put, we need to give the dead people an explanation.
Otherwise, the public grievances will not be settled at all!
The Minister of Revenue said this, which means that he is willing to quell the public grievances.
"Just forget it."
Li Si looked at the Minister of Revenue and felt a little relieved.
Although the Tang Dynasty has begun to decline now.
But after all, there are some loyal ministers.
There were some loyal ministers who were willing to die for the Tang Dynasty.
"How do you represent me as a minister of the Ministry of Revenue?"
Li Si shook his head slightly.
"I remember, I have a few brothers who sent them to Shu."
"They have my Li blood flowing on them, and enjoy the superior environment provided by my Tang Dynasty."
"At this time, it's time to contribute to the Tang Dynasty."
Li Si suddenly thought of something and his eyes turned cold.
As soon as these words came out.
All the ministers were shocked.
You know, at this time, there was a severe drought in Shu and a plague was rampant, and no one wanted to go to that ghost place.
If you are not careful, you may not be able to come back.
Only loyal ministers like the Minister of Revenue, who sincerely thought about the Tang Dynasty, would ask for orders to go there.
As for the others
It’s too late to avoid it, how could it be possible?
And Li Si's cousins.
He is the prince of the Tang Dynasty.
A noble identity.
How can I go to that dangerous place?
"Your Majesty, you must not!"
"The bodies of several princes are worth ten thousand gold."
Some minister couldn't help but stand up.
"My intention has been decided." Li Si slowly stood up.
"If nothing happens, retreat."
The ministers looked at each other, even if they had a lot of doubts in their hearts, they could only follow the order.
In the morning court today, the current emperor killed Li Jingzhong and Li Fuguo. This was a sign of victory in the eyes of all civil and military officials.
You must know that eunuchs and ministers have always been in opposition.
If there is a chance, the two will inevitably fight to the death.
But in the eyes of the emperor, whether it is the eunuch or the ministers, they are just tools in their hands.
The emperor needed ministers to help him govern the country.
The eunuchs also need to help him monitor the ministers.
Therefore, emperors of all dynasties, as long as they do something, would find a balance between the two.
Neither favors the ministers nor favors the eunuchs too much.
But now, Li Si was killing a representative eunuch like Li Jingzhong in the Tai Chi Hall. In the eyes of the ministers, this was a signal that His Majesty the Emperor fell to them!
And the emperor turned to the ministers, which was an unprecedented event!
Palace of Eternal Life.
The Hall of Eternal Life is a place where the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty rests.
Take the meaning of longevity.
After Li Si retired from court, he returned to the Hall of Eternal Life.
"Does Your Majesty need a rest?"
A little eunuch asked tremblingly.
"No!"
Li Si shook his head and glanced at the little eunuch.
"Do you know Li Jingzhong?" Li Si suddenly became interested and asked casually.
"Your Majesty forgive me!"
