The corners of Hongshi's lips curled up slightly, outlining a somewhat cruel sneer, "I know that in a few days a batch of grain will be transported to Fuzhou via waterway. In Fuzhou, the grain production is not abundant, so we rely on other places to transport grain.
Keep the local rice price stable. If those ships suddenly capsize, Huang Eniang, what do you think will happen to the rice price in Fuzhou?"
Although Nala is in the harem, she has been in the position of empress since she left the palace, and her experience is comparable to that of ordinary women. As soon as Hongshi finished speaking, he understood, "Although we can transport food in again, there is no need to go from raising food to
Transportation takes a long time, and
During this period of time, food in Fuzhou City will become scarce, and it is inevitable that the price of rice will soar. Is this what you are talking about?" Before Hongshi could answer, she had already shaken her head and said: "I'm afraid this is the case.
The situation is not enough for the emperor to send an imperial envoy."
"I know, but what if the boat capsizes again? In this case, there will be no rice shipped into Fuzhou for at least two months. It is possible to transport rice by land, but not much can be transported; secondly, you can also transport hands and feet; when the time comes,
Public sentiment will definitely be turbulent and difficult to suppress. If someone else instigates it, the disaster will be huge. Judging from the absolute determination of those officials in Fuzhou,
If the opposition cannot be suppressed, the imperial court will definitely be reported, and Emperor Ama will definitely select the imperial envoy from the Ministry of Household Affairs to go to Fuzhou. At that time, we can push Hongli out to serve as this imperial envoy. And the people in Fuzhou are tough, and Hong
Li met something over there and lost his life. It is a normal thing and there is no trace of it."
Every word Hong Shi said at this moment was of great importance. Once word spread, even he, the second elder brother, could not afford to take the blame. No wonder all the palace officials had to be sent away.
Nala was silent for a long time and then said with suspicion: "Did you think of these yourself?"
Hongshi stood up and said: "I don't dare to hide it from the emperor. My son and my eighth uncle thought of these things together."
"Well, finally you are honest to me." As early as when Hongshi expressed this idea, Nala became suspicious. It's not that this plan is not good, on the contrary, this plan is very good. It can be said that as long as you follow the plan
There is a 100% chance that this plan will work. But how many pounds Hongshi has, no one knows better than her. He will never be able to come up with such a sophisticated plan, so he asks this question.
Hongshi smiled sheepishly and said: "My son was raised by Huang's mother. If I lie, Huang's mother will definitely tell." At this point, he couldn't wait to ask: "Huang's mother, Huang's mother,
Do you think this plan is feasible?"
Nala thought thoughtfully: "It's possible, but if we act now, will we be too hasty? After all, Hongli's time in the Ministry of Revenue is still short, and he doesn't understand many things. The emperor may not send him as an imperial envoy."
"I have thought about this, but Uncle Eighth said that Hongli has a big shortcoming that we can use to our advantage." Hongshi's words aroused Nala's curiosity, "Oh, what is the shortcoming?"
Hongshi said with full confidence: "Now he is serving as a missionary in the Ministry of Revenue, and he is eager to learn everything about the Ministry of Revenue so as to gain the praise of Emperor Ama, so as long as he knows that there is an opportunity to go to the local area to provide relief,
He will never give up, even if he is not the imperial envoy, he will definitely go with the imperial envoy."
Hongshi's words made Nala think about it for a long time. This was indeed a good idea, and it would allow Hongli to surrender. However, this matter was of great importance to both Hongshi and her, and she had to think clearly about it.
"Emperor's mother..." Just as Hongshi was about to persuade him again, Nala raised his hand and said, "How many people can Prince Lian persuade to submit petitions to protect Hongli as an imperial envoy?"
Hongshi quickly replied: "Eighth Uncle said that he can persuade three of the six ministers, and the remaining officials, big and small, should be dozens of people."
This answer surprised Nala. He didn't expect that after so long and being suppressed by Yinzhen, Yunzhen still had such a great influence in the court, which should not be underestimated.
Nara lowered his head, and with a little force of his little finger wearing enamel armor, he drew a long mark on the lamp cover, destroying the pattern on the lamp cover itself.
Seeing that Nala was still hesitating, Xiao Ningzi said softly: "Master, this matter involves the life and death of the fourth elder brother. If there is a slight mistake, it will lead to anger. It is better to think about it again..."
Before he finished speaking, Hongshi shouted rudely: "Damn slave, I am talking to Huang Aniang, why do you want to interrupt?"
This time, Xiao Ningzi clearly sensed Hongshi's displeasure with her, so she quickly knelt down and said, "This slave deserves to die!"
Hongshi snorted coldly, but before he could scold him, Nala already said: "Okay, Xiao Ningzi is also worried that if this is done too hastily, there will be some problems. What do you want to teach him?"
Seeing that Nala was protecting Xiao Ningzi, Hongshi said dissatisfiedly: "Your Majesty, he is just a slave. How can I interfere with my discussion with you?"
Nara obviously didn't like hearing this and waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about Xiao Ningzi. I want to ask you, how many days does it take for the ship to arrive in Fuzhou?"
"It will arrive in six days. If we decide now and send people to rush over, we can sink the ship before it reaches the shore, but if we delay it any longer, it will be too late." Hongli said eagerly: "Empress, this is great.
The opportunity is before us, why are you hesitating? Do you really want to wait until Hongli is fully fledged before taking action? I am afraid that by then we will no longer be able to find the opportunity."
Hongshi's words moved Nala, and after thinking about the matter carefully, he finally nodded, "In that case, I'll do it as you say."
When Hongshi heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "Thank you so much, Niang. I will go and make arrangements right away."
"Wait a minute." Nala called to Hongshi who was impatient to leave, "Who are you going to let sink the ship, and who are you going to let deal with Hongli?"
Hongshi said without thinking: "I have told my eighth uncle about this matter before, and my eighth uncle said that as long as the emperor agrees, he will arrange everything."
Nala nodded noncommittally, "So everything depends on Prince Lian. Do you think this is okay?"
This question confused Hongshi and he blurted out: "What's wrong?"
Nara suddenly lowered his eyebrows and shouted: "You are already so old, but you are still so confused. You really deserve to be beaten!"
Seeing Nala's sudden scolding and calling him stupid, Hongshi suddenly felt aggrieved and tightened his grip, "Huang'e Niang, what's going on?"
"What you want to do now is to harm your own brother and an elder brother in the court. Do you think it is appropriate to leave such a big thing to others? In the future, you will become the prince, and Prince Lian will take care of this matter in the future.
If he threatens you and asks you to obey his orders, will you listen or not?"
