"The incident happened suddenly. At this time, no matter whether it is criminal punishment or accountability, it is an act to deal with the aftermath. However, the real pressing concern at the moment is how to relieve the disaster and comfort the victims. The killing of victims in Yulin Wei's pit can be big or small. Thousands of people
It is a pity to lose a human life, but the crime has been committed, and the victims must be appeased immediately, otherwise it will be publicized all over the world and it will be detrimental to the court."
Li Chen couldn't fault Zhao Xuanji's words.
And this is indeed what Li Chen is worried about.
So he didn't interrupt, just waiting for Zhao Xuanji to continue talking.
Zhao Xuanji did not pause, but took a breath and said again: "Therefore, I would like to ask Your Highness to order an order to immediately select a person with a kind heart, who can represent the royal family and who is extremely capable, to go and appease and provide relief."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhao Xuanji's purpose was already apparent on the paper.
In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who can represent the royal family?
Except for the prince, no one.
However, the prince oversees the country and cannot personally go to provide disaster relief, so he can only choose from other princes.
And now that the victims have suffered so much injustice, the imperial court will definitely try its best to appease them, and all the food, grass, money and silver they need will be available. This is tantamount to getting a piece of ready-made fame and credit for nothing.
"Old minister, I looked inside and outside the capital. The Ninth Prince has been taught by the Empress since childhood, and he often listens to the emperor's instructions in front of the Holy Emperor. He is excellent in both ability and character. The Ninth Prince can take charge and be assisted by Wang Tenghuan, a scholar of Jianji Palace.
Tong County appeases and provides relief to the victims."
"In this way, it can show the great grace of the royal family, and secondly, it can let the victims know the royal attitude, which is a two-pronged strategy."
After Zhao Xuanji finished speaking, the civil servants behind him spoke at the same time: "What the First Assistant said makes sense, please let the Crown Prince make a decision."
Li Chen's eyes were cold and he stared at Zhao Xuanji.
This old fox is very capable!
Under such circumstances, his reaction was no slower than his own, and he found the best way to stop losses among all the unfavorable conditions.
Bring up a Ninth Prince to compete with him for reputation.
Everyone knows that Yu Linwei is a member of the royal family. Once the incident of trapping and killing the victims comes out, the people in the world will not say anything about Zhao Jianye. They will only say that the royal family is ruthless and that he, the prince who supervises the country, is unscrupulous. But at this time, the Ninth Prince came out to appease and provide disaster relief.
All that good reputation was taken away by him.
In political struggles, reputation is sometimes more useful than anything else.
Zhao Xuanji said a few words and pushed this multiple-choice question in front of Li Chen with no choice.
Unless Li Chen breaks out and goes out to provide disaster relief in person, there is no other way.
Once they break up, Li Chen will stand directly on the opposite side of the civil service group, and the conflict between the two sides will completely break out. If these officials who have mastered the national government secrets go on strike at the same time and threaten each other with death, then Li Chen will
The prince has finally accomplished this.
"Very good."
Li Chen took a deep breath and said indifferently: "In this way, I will comply with the wishes of the first assistant."
"I hope that the Ninth Prince and the Great Scholar Wang will live up to the great trust of the court. If something goes wrong in this disaster relief, I will not be lenient."
Li Chen's words sounded more like a threat after being forced to compromise to the ears of the civil service group.
They were satisfied and replied: "I will obey my orders."
Looking calmly at Li Chen with a calm expression, Zhao Xuanji's inner vigilance did not weaken at all because of the victory of this move, but instead became more fearful.
The prince's mood and anger were not limited to appearance, and the calmest choice made Zhao Xuanji realize that the prince in front of him was more mature than the prince he had forced into the palace a few days ago.
