After Chu Xuanchen returned to Prince Li¡¯s Mansion, he told Yun Ruoyue what happened in the court today.
Yun Ruoyue was very moved when she heard that Taifu Han was willing to die to remonstrate with him.
She said: "Taifu Han is so courageous. He dared to remonstrate with his own life. This made me see the character and integrity of a scholar. But I didn't expect that Emperor Hongyuan was so stupid that he was obsessed with elixirs to this extent."
Chu Xuanchen clenched his fists fiercely, "Nowadays, floods in the south of the Yangtze River and droughts in the northwest are frequent, and locusts are raging in the border areas. However, the emperor only knows how to make elixirs, does not care about the government, and does not think of ways to help the people. The people have no one to help them, and they have no food. In order to survive, they went around robbing homes and doing evil, leading to increasing turmoil in the country. However, the emperor was addicted to wine and sex and did not care about worldly affairs. If this continues, the situation will become more serious. "
Hearing this, Yun Ruoyue was very worried.
She said: "If the emperor doesn't save the people, then we will find a way to save it. However, there are too many people affected, and our ability is limited. We still need the emperor to open the treasury and allocate funds for disaster relief."
Chu Xuanchen nodded, "Yes, no matter how strong an individual's power is, it cannot be stronger than the country. Now the emperor will not listen to anyone's words. Maybe Xue Fei's words are still somewhat useful. Yue'er, don't worry, I will let Xue Fei give advice. Your Majesty, let your Majesty allocate funds for disaster relief."
"Okay, now we are also trying to find ways to raise funds for disaster relief, as much as we can save." Yun Ruoyue said.
"Yeah." Chu Xuanchen took a deep look at Yun Ruoyue, and he knew that he had seen the right person.
Yue'er cares about the world and the common people. Having such a wife is the greatest happiness in his life-
Early the next morning, Chu Xuanchen did not have to go to court, so he took Mo Li to inspect the surrounding disaster areas.
As soon as he came to court, Taifu Han took the lead in advising Emperor Hongyuan, urging him to stop being obsessed with elixirs and to govern the country well and solve the current problems of disasters and bandits.
Not only that, Taifu Han was so angry that he fiercely criticized Emperor Hongyuan in front of the palace.
He criticized Emperor Hongyuan for being "obsessed with elixirs", "indulging in wine and sex", "arrogant and extravagant" and "not caring about the people".
When Emperor Hongyuan heard these words, he was immediately furious.
After he angrily scolded Taifu Han, he didn¡¯t even go to court and left the court early in anger!
When all the ministers saw this, they whispered in panic.
Taifu Han and others were also very disappointed, but they would never give up and would keep admonishing until Emperor Hongyuan corrected himself.
When King Rui saw this situation, a coldness flashed in his eyes, and he came to the Guangming Palace of Emperor Hongyuan.
After entering the Guangming Palace, King Rui saw Emperor Hongyuan drinking and having fun with several concubines who had just entered the palace. He quickly frowned and said, "My son, please see your father."
Emperor Hongyuan glanced at Prince Rui coldly, let go of the concubine in his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, are you here to persuade me too?"
A hint of calculation flashed in King Rui's eyes, and then he looked very sincere and said: "Father, you are not wrong, why should I persuade you?"
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Prince Rui. Seeing that Prince Rui looked pious and had a good attitude, and was not as annoying as Taifu Han and others, he said to the concubines: "I have something to say with Prince Rui. My beloved, you guys Everyone go down first!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." After the concubines finished speaking, they quickly retreated. Si minus Si
After the concubines retreated, only Emperor Hongyuan and Prince Rui were left in the hall.
Seeing this, King Rui hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father, don't be angry about what happened just now, otherwise you will be ruined by anger."
Emperor Hongyuan looked at Prince Rui tentatively, "Oh? Ruochen, what did you say about what happened in the hall just now?"
King Rui knew that Emperor Hongyuan was testing him, and hurriedly said: "Taifu Han is simply treasonous. Father, you are the ruler of the country, how can he criticize you in public?"
When Emperor Hongyuan saw that Prince Rui was leaning toward him, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
He said: "You are right. Mr. Han, an old man, took the lead in blaming me just because he was my teacher. He did not take me seriously at all! But there are so many people who agree with him. This person is really annoying!"
As he spoke, he rubbed his brows irritably. 牺如 yanmoxuanxiaoshuo.com&# 32牺如
A flash of shrewdness flashed in King Rui's eyes, and he immediately said: "Father, please calm down. Think about it, how could Taifu Han alone have such courage? I suspected that someone was behind this matter, so he?That's why you are so bold. "
Emperor Hongyuan looked at Prince Rui coldly, "Are you saying that someone is instigating Taifu Han behind the scenes?"
King Rui nodded: "It should be. When I left the court yesterday, I saw Taifu Han and others talking to King Li. They seemed to be familiar with each other."
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes in displeasure, "Could it be that the person instigating Taifu Han behind the scenes is King Li?"
Prince Rui said: "My son, there is no evidence yet, but King Li is the most suspicious. In the past, Taifu Han always favored King Li in the court, and even went against his father for him. In addition, Taifu Han was the most loyal official to the late emperor. Maybe Taifu Han still has the late Emperor in his heart, and he may have been dissatisfied with you for a long time, so he will join forces with Minister Shangshu to accuse you."
When Emperor Hongyuan heard this, he felt a chill running down his spine.
He narrowed his eyes coldly, put his hands behind his back, and said sternly: "This Han Bing is simply arrogant. I also heard that they often criticize me in private, saying that I am stupid and immoral, causing harm to the country and the people, and have been ruining my reputation!"
"A lot of words make a fortune, a lot of money goes to waste, plus Han Bing's influence. If he continues to criticize like this, the majority of people will be deceived by him and think that I am a fool!"
King Rui saw a trace of pride flashing in his eyes when he saw Emperor Hongyuan's emotions being aroused.
He nodded and said: "Father, Han Bing is simply not well-intentioned and has evil intentions. He took the lead in all this. To capture the thief first, capture the king. We should kill him as a warning to others. As long as we kill Taifu Han, we can deter others, so that no one can I dare to criticize you again.¡±
Emperor Hongyuan rolled his eyes sinisterly, "Kill one to serve as a warning to others?"
King Rui said: "Yes, and father, this matter is inseparable from King Li. Now Taifu Han seems to be King Li's right-hand man. If they continue to unite, I'm afraid it will endanger your empire."
"Father, the serious troubles in your heart must be eliminated as soon as possible to avoid endless harm. Killing Han Bing will deter Chu Xuanchen and his gang members, so that no one will dare to disobey Father."
Emperor Hongyuan captured his beard and said: "But Han Bing is very famous and respected. He has many disciples and a bunch of pedantic students who follow him. If I kill him directly, I am afraid I will be criticized by the people in the world." Mi He Mi
In fact, he has long been dissatisfied with Han Bing.
He has always wanted to kill Han Bing, but he was afraid of being cast aside by the world.
King Rui said: "Father, I have a way to get rid of Han Bing, and the world will not dare to criticize my father."
Emperor Hongyuan narrowed his eyes deeply, "Do you have any idea?"
