The next morning.
It had been snowing all night, and the road to the morning was extremely slippery and difficult to navigate.
Song Huan was sitting on the bumpy carriage, feeling a little dizzy from the shaking of the carriage.
As the saying goes, if you want to be rich, build roads first.
On the first day when you sit on the throne of the Nine-Five Supreme Being, you must first repair this dirt road!
By the way, the underground drainage system in Beijing should also be improved.
As a symbol of Daliang, Bianjing still needs to be made more international and modern.
However, if you want to achieve these, you must have a solid and stable economic strength as the foundation!
And this is also the main reason why Song Huan is saving money like crazy now.
With money, after taking office, wouldn't it be possible to do whatever you want?
When he thought of this, Song Huan was in a good mood, and the discomfort from the bumpy journey disappeared instantly.
However, when Song Huan arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony with brisk steps, he noticed a strange atmosphere.
The courtiers who were lowering their voices and whispering seemed to have stopped communicating the moment Song Huan entered the hall.
They all turned their attention to Song Huan, as if they were secretly sizing up Song Huan.
That kind of sticky gaze like asphalt made Song Huan very uncomfortable!
Seeing Song Liang mingling among the crowd with a meaningful expression on his face, Song Huan quickly walked forward.
"What's going on with these ministers today?"
"Why are you looking at me with such eyes?"
"You must have taken the wrong medicine!"
Song Liang hesitated for a moment, then whispered to Song Huan: "Fourth brother, your courage is really extraordinary!"
"What did you say to my father in the Yangxin Hall last night?"
Song Huan was stunned: "Why, is it because I raised 70 million taels of sponsorship?"
"If it's because of this, then there's no need to make such a fuss!"
Song Liang took a breath of air: "What?"
"Fourth, where did you raise so much sponsorship money?"
Song Huan was even more surprised: "What?"
"Isn't that what you're talking about?"
Song Liang shook his head and denied: "Of course not!"
"It is said that……"
"I just heard about it!"
"I heard that last night in the Yangxin Hall, you and your father had a serious involvement with the general!"
"The court officials all said that when the Grand Master fell from power, it was probably your fourth brother's work."
"They also said that after you, Fourth Brother, attacked the Grand Master, you are now finally going to attack the General!"
"After you eliminate all these dissidents, the position of Crown Prince will be within your control..."
It turns out that these courtiers are so mysterious just for such trivial matters!
Song Huan didn't care, he just said carelessly: "I thought it was some big deal, but it turns out it's just a random thing!"
"I did stay in the Yangxin Palace for a long time last night, but it's not like there was no one else besides me."
"Song De is here too!"
"Moreover, he left later than me!"
Hearing such exciting news, Song Liang was like a turtle entering a melon field, and he instantly became excited.
"real or fake?"
"Fourth brother, were you and the second brother in the Nourishing Heart Hall last night?"
"Yes!" Song Huan spread his hands, "When I left, he was still at my father's side, saying that he had important things to report to my father!"
"As soon as I saw his posture, I naturally left wisely."
"As for when Song De left, I don't know."
Such breaking news made Song Liang very energetic for a moment!
"There is actually such a thing!"
"Fourth brother, do you think it was the second brother who reported the general to my father?"
"After all, he is the closest to the general, and he must know the most inside information!"
"but……"
"The general is the backer behind the second brother!"
"If the general falls, won't there be no supporters behind the second brother?"
"Tell me, why did he go to all the trouble to shoot himself in the foot?"
Song Huan shrugged his shoulders: "How could I know?"
"Shh, stop talking, Father is here!"
"Your Majesty has arrived——"
Emperor Liang stepped onto the dragon throne with square steps and a serious look on his face.
His face was still a little pale, and two huge eye circles hung under his eyes, making him look even more haggard.
I don’t know how long Song De’s guy had been talking to Emperor Liang last night, but it actually made Emperor Liang look like he hadn’t even woken up!
As soon as Emperor Liang sat down, courtiers stood up one after another and reported to Emperor Liang.
"Start your Majesty!"
"A snow disaster that has never been seen in a century has occurred in Youzhou! Countless people have been displaced due to the heavy snow, and there have been countless deaths and injuries!"
"Start your Majesty!"
"The policy of establishing Tea Horse Division has been carried out, and various state capitals have begun to establish Tea Horse Division. Only Dianchi Lake, a peaceful place, refuses to cooperate! There are bandits here who occupy the mountains and are kings, and they are unwilling to cooperate with us. The Liang court has reached a consensus!"
"Start your Majesty!"
"There has been no rain or snow in the Guanzhong area for three months. The local grain reserves are seriously insufficient. One stone of grain has been sold for a high price of one hundred taels of silver! In places with severe drought, people have already fled everywhere..."
Emperor Liang was already in a bad mood, and when he heard all these bad things happened, he became even more furious!
"Snapped!"
I saw Emperor Liang's thick palms slamming down on the table, and his leopard eyes instantly burst out with endless anger and resentment!
"I, Liang, are currently experiencing constant internal worries, which is enough to make people anxious and exhausted!"
"However!"
"Some people, who are powerful officials in Daliang, are full of food and have nothing to do all day long. They collude with businessmen and are greedy for military pay!"
"Daliang's government has long been rotten to the core!"
"You think, with such a court official, how can the people live a stable life?"
"How can the country of Daliang be solid and stable?"
"Such a moth really chills my heart!"
"It chills the hearts of all people in the world!"
As soon as these words came out, the ministers immediately became convinced.
It seems that the rumors are indeed true. It was Prince Rong who exposed the general's crimes last night, which made the Holy Emperor so angry!
Everyone couldn't help but glance at Song Huan secretly, but they didn't expect that Prince Rong looked calm and had no personal relationship with any courtiers.
Unexpectedly, in private, all the evidence of the general’s crimes over the years had been collected!
What a great skill!
However, at this juncture.
No courtier dared to stand up and ask Emperor Liang to investigate the general.
Because after Xu Rong's fall, those left in the court were either neutrals or followers of General Xu Rong.
They were afraid that Xu Rong would be severely investigated by Emperor Liang. How could they easily ask Emperor Liang to investigate the matter before it was too late?
In a deathly silence.
Song Huan silently took a step forward and bowed to Emperor Liang.
"Father, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it or not!"
