Chapter 288 (1/2)

”Beast!”

The prince's highness enters the main hall, meets him first is an angry scold, then is the inkstone to smash the head.

This time, it was the first time in his life that he avoided the objects that the emperor had smashed.

He knelt on the ground, ”I don't know what mistakes my son minister has made. Please make it clear to my father.”

This time, it is also the first time in nearly 20 years that we are no longer trembling and walking on thin ice.

When he was ready for the worst, everything seemed to come to him. If you have no desire, you don't have to be afraid.

This feeling of not being afraid of anything is really great.

Why, in the past, did he not realize this?

Why was he afraid in the past?

I'm afraid I can't sleep at night. It's because of fear of being abandoned, of losing face, of dying.

Now he is not afraid of being abandoned, not to mention death, but to nothing.

As for losing face, has he lost a little face these years?

He has become the laughingstock of the whole capital. Is it not enough to lose face to become the most ridiculous prince in history? I'm afraid there will be a record in the history books.

The prince lowered his head, pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed at himself.

He laughed at his own stupidity. Why did he want to understand these reasons until today?

All the brothers were interested in where he was sitting.

But who knows, this position is how torment, living will a person into a person not a ghost.

The emperor pointed to the prince and said, ”look at what you have done! I put my trust in you, but you forced the common people to oppose me. Do you have the face to be a prince?

The common people in my city are now short of food and clothes. They hang themselves every day and sell their children and women for a living.

But you don't give them a living. Do not open grain depots, do not relief, do not build canals, and do not allow the victims to go out to beg for food. You want to strangle the people of a county alive.

Now, the whole Xinfeng County is just about to rise to the top. My world is defeated by you

The emperor left the memorial for the inspection of the imperial historian in front of his royal highness.

The prince's highness picked up the memorial and listened to the emperor's scolding. His face changed greatly and he couldn't believe it.

With trembling hands, he opened the memorial, every sentence to the heart, weeping for blood.

The people of Xinfeng County, who had been forced to a desperate situation by the local officials, had to rise to the heights.

The crown prince kowtow to plead guilty, ”the son minister is frightened, the child minister knows the person not to know, causes today's disaster, the son minister's death.”

The emperor was furious. ”Of course you should die, and you should not die.”

The magistrate of Xinfeng County was recommended by Prince Zhan Shi and Lord Xu. The prince also felt very good.

So he sent this man to Xinfeng for management. When he made his political achievements, he went up step by step, adding a helping hand to the East Palace in the future.

Since last year, Xinfeng has been suffering from drought and has continued to this year.

The ditches dried up, the crops withered, and the farmers had no crops. The people sold their children and sold their daughters. If they could not survive, they simply hanged themselves.

Almost all of the 200000 people in Xinfeng County were forced to fight against the government and the imperial court of the Zhou Dynasty.

In the face of Xinfeng's disaster, Xinfeng County Magistrate did not think of disaster relief, but tried to crush the local people and block the news.

And he wrote to Prince Zhan Shi Xu, asking him to help cover up in front of the prince.

Don't you know what the consequences will be when you are the magistrate of Xinfeng County?

Of course he knows. He knows better than anyone else.

The reason why he dares to do so is that he has a great reputation as a back pot man, the prince.

When the people of Xinfeng rebelled and things couldn't be concealed, the magistrate of Xinfeng County was the first to take the Yamen soldiers with them, and the local guards took the lead in bringing down the chaos.

As long as the chief villain of the rebellion is killed and the spread of the situation is controlled, he Xinfeng County Magistrate is a meritorious official of the court.

As for the evidence of the government's coercion against the people, any personal evidence and material evidence will all disappear in a series of civil war, with no residue left.

Even if the court sent someone to dig Xinfeng three feet, it is impossible to find the criminal evidence of Xinfeng County Magistrate's crime.

As for the provocation of the popular revolt, who should be responsible?

Ha ha!

Naturally, the prince carries the pot.

Anyway, the prince is not the first time to carry the pot, what's the harm of carrying it again.

As long as the people below them, as long as they eat hot and drink spicy.

Loyal?

It is impossible to be loyal to the king.

Repay the prince's kindness?

The crown prince is a swordsman for him, and he will be filial to him.

All in all, the crown prince should take care of everything.

Xinfeng County Magistrate cracked the abacus, but ignored an important person, the censor.

When he was an inspector general, he ate dry food and did nothing. And came up with all sorts of ways to fool people.

However, he forgot that the battle of seizing the throne in the capital city had already turned white hot. At this time, there was no inspector who ate dry food. Even if there is, Wu Shizhong will force the inspector to show his real ability.The censor made a thorough investigation of Xinfeng before anyone was able to rise to the top.

Wu Shizhong wrote to Chen JianZheng.

After Chen Jian was in operation, the emperor finally thought of Wu Shizhong.

So, Wu Shizhong went to the capital with a memorial to inspect the imperial censor, and wanted to put the prince to death.

The son of heaven stressed farming. He never thought that such a tragic natural and man-made disaster happened in Xinfeng County, only a few hundred miles away from the capital. What's more, no one reported it in two years.

The emperor will this anger, all vent on the prince.

Kick the prince over with one kick.

”Beast! How can I give birth to you? Are you worthy of being a man? That's my people and your people. However, if you allow the officials to harm the people, it is tantamount to harming my country. You don't deserve to be a prince by this alone. ”

The crown prince kowtow to plead guilty, ”the son minister is negligent, the son minister is guilty, please father emperor punish.”

”Go away, go down and reflect. I'll deal with you later. ”

His Highness the prince kowtow and thanks.

A servant came to the prince, ”Your Highness, this way, please.”

The prince stood up, looked at the malicious servant, and calmly left the hall.

He was put into a dilapidated side hall, only Fang Shaojian was accompanied by him.

The weather was hot, but it was miserable in the side hall.

The prince's highness was sweating all over his body, but he didn't want to change his clothes.

He sat at his desk, frowning.

After a long silence, he suddenly said, ”Lord Xu must know what happened in Xinfeng, isn't it?”

Fang Shaojian bowed and said, ”there is nothing that Lord Xu doesn't know about, up and down the East Palace, inside and outside the court.”

”Prince ha ha a smile,” no wonder you all said that the solitary person is unknown. Now it seems that solitude is more than knowing people. It is blind to the eyes and blind to the heart. Mr. Xu knows what happened to Xinfeng, but he conceals it. What is he thinking? ”

Fang Shaojian said without feeling: ”they are lucky. Expecting your Highness the crown prince to take the blame, they can fill their own pockets, take the opportunity to make a big sum of money, and finally withdraw from the whole body. ”

”Yes? In their eyes, they have no choice but to take the blame. ”

The prince's highness laughed at himself, ”is it too late to know the truth now?”

Fang Shaojian shook his head, ”I don't forget. His highness is still the crown prince. His highness can give a will to the death of a subordinate official of the east palace. Those people, even if all of them are killed, there will be no one innocent. ”

The prince's Royal Highness looks a change, ”is there really no one innocent?”

Fang Shaojian nodded affirmatively, ”exactly.”

The prince's highness ha ha ha laughs, ”Gu really does not deserve to sit in the prince's position. If you inherit the throne, I'm afraid the whole world will be ruined by the orphan. It's a pity that only now can I see the truth. Why didn't she hear a word from her mother

The crown prince repented.

Fang Shaojian sighed.

If you repent five years ago, everything can be done.

If I had repented two years ago, it would have been too late.

If you repent a year ago, you still have a chance to turn things around.

It's too late. It's too late.

Fang Shaojian feels unworthy for Ruizhen empress Cui, but he is helpless.

After so many years of accumulation, your majesty has completely abandoned the prince.

Only after dealing with Xinfeng's affairs, we will order to abolish the crown prince.

Fang Shaojian's eyes were sharp at the prince. ”Your Highness, as long as you make up your mind, everything is still in time.”

He sprang to his desk, like a dying man, trying to grasp the last straw.

”What do you want?” the prince said quietly

Fang Shao Jian lowered his voice and said, ”everything should follow the plan.”

”Is it?”

The prince bowed his head and laughed.

Fang Shaojian has made up his mind to carry out the plan.

It was a long night.

Inside and outside the palace, I don't know how many people don't want to sleep.
