Li Yinhu was interested in making friends, and Long Tiande and his son were playing into his heart. The atmosphere of the meal between the three of them became increasingly lively.
When the time was almost up, Li Yinhu ended the conversation and put down his chopsticks.
Seeing this action, Long Tiande and Long Huaiyu looked at each other, knowing that the real drama was about to begin, so they also put down their chopsticks.
After the food and wine are finished, of course we have to talk about business.
"The Spring Festival will be here in two days. I wonder if you two have done everything you need to do when you come to the capital?"
Hearing Li Yinhu's question, Long Huaiyu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The matter that my father and I came to the capital for can be said to be done, but it cannot be said to be done."
Squinting his eyes slightly, Li Yinhu said with a smile but not a smile: "Oh? This sounds a bit mysterious."
Sighing softly, Long Huaiyu said with a sad face: "To be honest, the Xishan Province has not been peaceful recently. I believe that the prince is a sensible person and is aware of it."
Li Yinhu nodded and said: "Yes, Xishan Province is indeed not peaceful. First there was a natural disaster and famine. Among the provinces in the country, Xishan's disaster situation can be said to be one of the most serious. Then there were rebels and rebels. The people of Xishan were already in dire straits.
The situation in the province has become more complicated and critical."
Nodding, Long Huaiyu said: "That's true. However, the foundation of our Long family is all in Xishan Province. It was really sad to see such a situation in the province, so we united with some local people in Xishan Province to be able to speak.
There are many families and squires, including those who served in the imperial court and returned to their hometowns, and there are also those like the Long family who have been developing in the local area for many years. It can be said that the voices of us people represent the wishes of the local people in Xishan Province."
"A few days ago, the imperial court sent a new chief envoy to Xishan Province. After Zhao Heshan came to Xishan Province, he didn't think about how to provide disaster relief and eradicate the rebels. He actually focused on gathering power. Whenever there was no situation in the province,
For those who listened to him, he would either dismiss them from office or, at worst, imprison them and confiscate their homes. Such tyranny made Xishan Province even more chaotic."
"So our father and son have been entrusted by many local folks and people to come to the capital to meet His Highness the Crown Prince, so that His Highness can see Zhao Heshan's true face and deal with him."
After listening to these words quietly, Li Yinhu smiled and said: "I'm afraid your wish will come true. That Zhao Heshan was originally sent by the prince. During this time, Zhao Heshan has been involved in the court and has listed his crimes."
There are countless memorials, but when has the prince ever looked at them? Previously, two censors participated in the memorial at the early court, but were reprimanded by the prince. If it were not for the rules of this court, the censors would not be punished for their words.
Those two will have to peel off a layer of their skin at least."
"The prince said that in troubled times, heavy punishments should be used, and it is difficult to shake Xiao Xiaoxiao without the death penalty. Any civil and military officials in the court who participate in Zhao Heshan are in the same group as those who are corrupt and pervert the law. Dongchang needs to investigate carefully.
"
"Who dares to say anything after saying this?"
"The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were like this, and they even talked nonsense about you father and son. Therefore, it is normal for the prince to be killed and hanged."
Speaking of this, Li Yinhu changed the topic and said to the two of them: "It's just that I know your thoughts, and they are all for the sake of the people of Xishan Province. How can such an innocent heart make your blood run cold?
The road to the East Palace is impassable, but I, Prince Zhao, welcome you at any time."
