Yan Xuzhen, who was standing beside him, felt panicked when he saw his father suddenly kneeling down, so he knelt down and said, “Grandpa Emperor should not be angry with his father. His father worked hard for state affairs every day and often had not slept at the third day. Whenever Xuzhen advised his father, his father said that he would help the emperor share his worries and not be lazy in some things. Now if the emperor is angry, just scold Xuzhen. Xuzhen is still young and has never done anything for the emperor, so he will accept the punishment!”
After that, the little Yan Xuzhen kowtowed three times, and when he raised his face, his forehead was already red and swollen.
The queen felt really distressed when she saw that her only grandson was so wronged. She hugged Yan Xuzhen’s body and cried, “My poor Xuzhen, I saw her father being criticized so much at such a young age. How could he bear it? Your Majesty! Don’t just listen to her nonsense because she loves the princess. She has grown up in the deep palace since she was a child. Where can I know these things! I guess that someone must have taught her these words!”
The emperor trusted the queen and her son very much. Now when he heard the question raised by her, he couldn’t help but look at the princess in confusion, and then slowly said, “What the queen said is not without reason. Why didn’t I know that you had such an opinion on state affairs before? Could it be that someone really instructed you to come to me and say these words?”
After hearing the emperor’s words, the princess did not show any tightness on her face. She thought for a while and then responded generously: “Report to my father, someone has taught me these words.”
The queen immediately put on an expression that was clear about everything and looked at the princess proudly. It would be better to wait until she made a fool of herself and scold her fiercely.
“These words were taught by Chu, the female official next to Ruohan.”
The princess’s face was very calm, but the words were shocked to make the queen tremble.
“What are you talking about… Are you talking about Chu Nianhe?”
The queen’s voice was also trembling, and she looked at the princess with disbelief.
She knew that Chu Nianhe liked to be clever, and she also knew that Chu Nianhe was smart and had a clear mind, and was a great opponent. But she didn’t understand that no matter how smart Chu Nianhe was, she was still a petite lady who never left the door since she was a child. How could she know so many things?
The queen looked at Yan Lichen again, hoping that he would give him a look and tell him that what the princess said was fake. But Yan Lichen lowered his head, and his entire spine was bent, and he was completely devoid of his former spirit.
“Is these disaster relief strategies really what Chu Nianhe told you?” Although the emperor’s voice was calm, his eyes were shining. Even if the queen didn’t want to admit it, she knew that the emperor was looking at Chu Nianhe with admiration.
“That’s right, Father,” the princess smiled: “Father, don’t worry, not just these three points, Ruohan’s words
Woolen cloth. ”
After saying that, she looked at the queen who was staring at her with disdain, and then said, “The fourth point is to reduce taxes. Although this method is commonly used by the court, the court only reduces taxes for half a year each time. When the victims rebuilt the house and start farming normally, they often have passed the tax reduction and exemption period and have to start paying taxes again. Although the people let it go, they inevitably have no resentment in their hearts. Over time, I am afraid that the people’s hearts will be difficult to save. “
“Five, it is also the most important way to solve it once and for all. When we provide disaster relief, we should not just think about how to let the disaster end, but rather avoid the tragic days when the flood occurs again, and the people have no food to eat and no place to live. After all, the riverside area is a place where floods occur frequently. We can set up warehouses, buy warehouses when the grain price is slightly lower on weekdays, and sell the grain from the grain to the people when the grain price is higher than the market price. If there is another flood, you can also use this granary as a relief warehouse to help the victims. After all, our Jinyun City is far away from the riverside area. If we pull food over every time, it will probably delay some of our lives. Many people complain so much, that’s how it comes. ”
