In July, there were continuous heavy rains in southern Daxia, and nine counties in ten states in the southern region were hit by floods. The imperial court allocated huge sums of money for disaster relief and built river embankments. It also sent several imperial envoys to the disaster-stricken Kaizhou Prefecture grain depot to provide relief to the victims. However,
, in Yuzhou, which was hardest hit by the disaster, with almost the entire state submerged by floods, it was revealed that local officials and imperial envoys colluded to embezzle relief funds, and sold relief grain to grain merchants without authorization to make huge profits, while using rotten and moldy sub-rice to satisfy the people's hunger.
things.
The people of Yuzhou couldn't bear it, so they wrote a book for the people. Zou Zhiyong, the local pavilion chief, went through hardships and hurried to Kyoto at starry night. When he entered the city gate, he was hungry and sleepy. He happened to meet Dou Zunian, the ninth young master from the Douhou Mansion, and he wrote the book for the people.
The letter was entrusted to him. Dou Zunian lived up to his trust and beat the Tianting drum in front of the palace gate in the middle of the night. This kicked off the largest corruption and fraud case since the founding of the Xia Dynasty. Involved in it were numerous princely families, wealthy nobles, and history.
Called Tianshui Rebellion!
As a rule of the Great Xia Dynasty, there was a court meeting every three days. Dou Zunian was also summoned to the court meeting by Xia Jie because he reported the disaster in Yuzhou. After the court, Dou Zunian asked for Xia Jie's grace and went to the harem to Yifang.
Holding this year's new Silver Needle tea in his hand, the yellow, orange, and orange tea soup glowed with golden light. This was the top grade among the tributes. It seemed that Yifang was living well here. A smile appeared on Dou Zunian's lips and his voice was brisk.
stand up.
"What do you think of this matter?"
Dou Zunian has always believed that his sister has a more thorough view on many things than many men who claim to be wise.
Yi Fang smiled, with a bit of teasing in his clear eyes, and said reproachfully: "Since brother has already done the work, why are you asking me now?"
When Dou Zunian heard that Yifang still felt like he was at home, he called him brother sweetly, and he felt a little more comfortable and said: "Speaking of it, it is also my fault, but the situation was critical at that time, the opportunity was too rare, and there was no time to follow
Send me a message."
Yi Fang tilted her head and looked at him, as bright and cheerful as the spoiled girl in the boudoir in the past.
"Of course I know that my brother is measured. Although this matter has offended many people, it is of great benefit to my brother and the Dou family."
"Oh!" Dou Zunian looked at Yifang in a longer tone. "What do you think of me, sister?"
Yifang smiled and shook his head, "Brother is testing me. You accepted the petition from the people and took over this matter, which will certainly make the families involved in this matter very angry. But it will also win the praise of the elders in the court who attach great importance to the Qingming officialdom.
, and if you play the Tianting Drum regardless of personal safety, celebrities and nobles will definitely praise you, and it can also attract the ideas of Dou family members and stand out, so why not do it. What's more, this matter involves too much, since it has already been
If it causes a civil uprising, the Emperor will not tolerate it under any circumstances because of his character. The Emperor is not the kind of faint-hearted king who ignores the overall situation just for the sake of face."
In the last sentence, Yifang said it decisively.
Dou Zunian looked at the brilliance that naturally appeared on Yi Fang's face and asked thoughtfully: "Sister, are you..."
Yi Fang paused for a moment. After understanding Dou Zunian's words, there was a hint of mystery in his eyes. He didn't say anything and just shook his head gently.
Dou Zunian stopped asking questions. He was not a minister who should ask questions about the emperor and his concubines.
Following the change of topic, Dou Zunian said: "My father asked me to ask my sister whether this draft will be held or not. Let my sister find a way to send an accurate letter."
Yifang said curiously: "The draft is a rule set by the imperial court. Why don't we do it?"
Dou Zunian then thought that even though Yifang was smart, she was also a member of the harem. She must not have known about the matters discussed with the court this morning. He explained: "The emperor made a decree from the front this morning, saying that it was a serious national disaster.
There are people who are very corrupt because of his improper governance. How can he still care about pleasure at this time, so he postponed the draft. But looking at the emperor's intention, it seems that he not only wants to postpone it, but also wants to let it go.
A draft."
This, I updated it today, and the recommended collection met the requirements, so I worked hard to update another chapter. It was so deserted that I had a headache from writing it.
