After he finished speaking, he added, "Your Majesty, the natural disaster is serious now, and many bandits and robbers have appeared in many state capitals. If they knew that I and the wise king were going to provide disaster relief, in order to seize the disaster relief funds and food, they would definitely find ways to attack them everywhere.
ambush.
I believe that I should be allowed to lead two thousand Xuance troops to escort the disaster relief money, otherwise there is still a problem whether the money and food can be sent to the disaster area."
If he wants to go out to provide disaster relief, of course he must bring enough manpower, lest someone take the opportunity to assassinate him.
Taifu Han also said: "Your Majesty, I agree with King Li's idea.
This disaster relief road is very dangerous, and there are countless powerful bandit gangs. If the prince does not bring more people to protect him, I am afraid that the food will really be robbed.
Moreover, when the prince arrives at the state capitals, if there are no soldiers there, I am afraid that the officials will neglect him and not listen to his orders, which will affect the disaster relief."
Taishi Li also said: "Yes, and there are many local officials in those state capitals who are residents.
Every time they provide disaster relief, they will exploit people at all levels and embezzle people's disaster relief funds, but the people will get nothing.
In order to commit corruption, some officials would bribe the imperial envoys. If the bribery failed, they would take advantage of the high mountain and the emperor's distance to kill the imperial envoys.
And there are people in the Jiangnan area plotting rebellion. If King Li brings more soldiers, he might be able to take advantage of the opportunity to quell the rebellion!"
Emperor Hongyuan did not expect that Taifu Han and Taishi Li, who had always been neutral, often spoke for Chu Xuanchen recently and appreciated him very much.
He felt very uncomfortable, but he felt more at ease knowing that these two ministers were doing it for the good of the country and the country, and were not favoring Chu Xuanchen.
If Chu Xuanchen had always been so honest, devoted to the people, and not coveted his throne, he would have kept him temporarily.
He looked at Chu Xuanchen solemnly, and he was really wary of letting Chu Xuanchen take so many soldiers with him, for fear that Chu Xuanchen would lead troops to rebel.
But then I thought about it, with only 2,000 people, I couldn't do much.
He has hundreds of thousands of troops.
Besides, Yun Ruoyue still stayed in Shengjing City, so he didn't dare to rebel.
Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, for the safety of this food and money, I agree with King Li to bring two thousand Xuance troops to follow.
As for the King of Jin, he can also bring five hundred generals to accompany him."
King Jin is now his favorite son, so of course he must send people to protect him.
In addition to the guards on the surface, he will also send secret guards to protect him secretly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Xuanchen and King Jin cupped their hands and said.
Seeing Chu Xuanchen's high-spirited look, the queen was so angry that her heart ached.
She clenched her hands into fists, and her nails made her palm bleed, but she didn't realize it.
She worked so hard to raise so much money, but she didn't expect that in the end, Chu Xuanchen would gain fame and make wedding clothes for him.
When Chu Xuanchen succeeds in disaster relief, the people will definitely be grateful to him, and his reputation will skyrocket.
And she, the queen, became a street rat that everyone yelled at because of the involvement of Mrs. Wei.
Once the nobles who donated money to her know about this, they will no longer believe her in the future, and I am afraid they will not donate money to her again.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands again and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there may be a great epidemic after the great disaster. I am afraid that the plague will be rampant and cause a catastrophe.
I was wondering if I could take my princess with me?
Ruoyue is proficient in medical skills and also knows how to treat water. If I can take her with me, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
The Xian King suddenly said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Li has excellent medical skills. With her here, she may be able to help more people."
