In the palace, Long Zhan was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study room.
A young eunuch accidentally fell down while delivering tea to Long Zhan and broke the tea bowl.
The little eunuch was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and kept kowtowing to Long Zhan to admit his mistake. However, the little eunuch fell to the ground and fainted without even kowtowing a few times.
Liu Quan, who heard the commotion outside the takeout, hurriedly walked in. When he saw the broken tea bowl, he quickly knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. I will ask someone to replace you with a new bowl of tea."
"It's okay. Breaking the tea bowl is just a trivial matter. Don't take it too seriously. I won't blame you for such a trivial matter. Who can make mistakes without being a sage? Let the imperial doctor come! Look at what this little eunuch is doing.
"Why did you faint from fright just because you broke a tea bowl? This little eunuch couldn't help but be frightened." Long Zhan said:
Then someone called the imperial doctor, who checked the little eunuch's pulse, and his face became a little solemn, and then he looked at Liu Quan.
"How on earth did the imperial doctor do this? Is the fainting of this little eunuch related to Liu Quan?" Long Zhan asked:
"This matter has nothing to do with Eunuch Liu." The imperial doctor said:
"Since it has nothing to do with Liu Quan, why do you keep looking at Liu Quan! What is going on with this little eunuch!" Long Zhan asked:
"This." The imperial doctor said with some embarrassment:
"Just say what you have to say. There is no need to be secretive in front of me. It's better to tell the truth quickly! What is going on with this little eunuch!" Long Zhan said angrily:
"This little eunuch fainted because he was hungry for a long time and because of the scare just now." The imperial doctor seemed to have exhausted all his strength to finish this sentence. After finishing speaking, the imperial doctor felt a kind of collapse.
a feeling of.
"So this little eunuch fainted because of hunger. That's what I'm saying! This little eunuch has been with me for several years, and he knows my temper. How could he faint from fear because he broke a teacup?
Oh! I feel like there is something wrong with it. It seems that my guess is correct. What is going on? Why is this little lady so hungry? Is it possible that our Shenlong Empire is so poor that we don’t have enough to eat?
Is that the point?" Long Zhan said:
"Under His Majesty's governance, our Shenlong Empire is in peace and harmony, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment. How can anyone not have enough to eat?" Liu Quan said:
"In this case, someone has committed corruption and actually made profits by depriving these young eunuchs of food. This is really abominable. I must investigate this matter strictly." Long Zhan said angrily:
"Even if someone is greedy, they will not deprive these young eunuchs of food, especially the young eunuchs around His Majesty! Even if you are very brave, you will not dare to do this." Liu Quan said:
"Since that's not the case, then tell me what's going on!" Long Zhan said:
"This." Liu Quan said with some embarrassment:
"Don't hesitate, I want to know what's going on! The little eunuch next to me fainted because of starvation. Isn't this a big joke? If other countries know about such a thing, why don't we?
You know how to laugh at our Shenlong Empire! This is simply a shame for our Shenlong Empire! I must investigate this matter thoroughly. Liu Quan, tell me everything you know!" Long Zhan said angrily:
"In fact, no one deprived these little eunuchs of food at all, but there was no food at all in the palace, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace all ate fruits. Only the maids and eunuchs around the queens of each palace could eat them.
Food." Liu Quan said:
"The palace of the mighty Shenlong Empire is actually short of food, and the eunuchs and maids in the palace need to eat fruit. This is simply a joke! This is also the biggest joke since the founding of our Shenlong Empire. I ask you why the palace is short of food.
, and the eunuchs and maids around the empress have food to eat, but the eunuchs around me need to go hungry. What is going on, tell me." Long Zhan said angrily:
"Because there is no food to buy in Dragon City, there will naturally be a shortage of food in the palace. In order to prevent Your Majesty from being upset about this matter, I have to hide it from all the empresses, so I bought all the food I had.
They are given to the people around the empress to eat. Most of the eunuchs and maids in the palace cannot get any food at all, so they can only eat fruits to satisfy their hunger. This is all the fault of the slaves, please punish me." Liu Quan kept kowtowing.
Admitting his mistake:
"This is also difficult for you. You don't want me to worry about it! I just want to know where the food in Dragon City has gone." If there is no food in Dragon City, how will the people in Dragon City live? Moreover,
How come no one reported such a big thing to me? What do those ministers do for a living?" Long Zhan said with a somewhat relaxed expression:
"All the food in Dragon City was taken away by the Sixth Prince, so there is no food in Dragon City. But please rest assured, Your Majesty, then the people are no better than the palace. They all have their own fields, or there is still some food stored in their homes.
, life is still going on, even those who have no food reserves are eating fruits to satisfy their hunger, and there is no major turmoil in Dragon City at all." Liu Quan said:
"It's good that nothing happened. Sheng'er did a little too much this time. How much food did he collect? How could it cause a food shortage in Long City!" Long Zhan asked:
"The Sixth Prince purchased almost all the grain in Longcheng, which led to the food shortage in Longcheng." Liu Quan said:
"There are a lot of granaries in Dragon City! Since Dragon City is short of food, why not open a granary to stock up on food?" Long Zhan said:
"Because the Sixth Prince sent carriages and horses to fetch grain, the granary was completely surrounded, and there was no way to open the granary to release grain." Liu Quan said:
"What on earth does Sheng'er want to do?" Long Zhan said:
"This old slave doesn't know." Liu Quan said:
"You go down here! Get some food for this little eunuch. I don't want anyone to faint from hunger again in the palace." Long Zhan said:
After Liu Quan took the young eunuch out, Long Zhan said, "Call General Long here."
After a while, a man in black walked into the imperial study room.
"General Long, tell me what earth-shattering things Sheng'er has done these days!" Long Zhan said angrily:
Then Long Jiang told everything in detail.
After Long Jiang finished speaking, Long Zhan said angrily: "Sheng'er is really outrageous. How dare he do what he did! This is simply lawless!"
