Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the little emperor.
Su Xiang turned around quickly, but felt relieved when he saw that the little emperor did not look at him.
After all, after all, the Queen Mother was also the biological mother of the young emperor, and there were some things he didn't know for the best.
Under the opposition of the ministers, the Queen Mother's idea was not adopted.
Chen Wei's death was thus finalized.
The ministers don't care how angry the Queen Mother is, they are reporting another matter now.
Regarding disaster relief.
Now that they know that so many people in Dayu Kingdom will die this winter, they naturally will not sit idly by and ignore it. This is not only for the people, but also for themselves, and for the entire Dayu Kingdom.
Water can carry a boat or capsize it!
People are the foundation of a country.
Therefore, Su Xiang finally came out.
"Your Majesty, this winter is really extremely cold, and snowstorms have broken out in many places. I believe that the imperial court should provide money for disaster relief, so as to prevent the victims from being unable to survive and causing unrest."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the past few years have been bad, the grain harvest has been poor, and taxes have been paid. In winter, the food of the people is basically not enough to eat. At this time of the year, most of the people's families go out to work to earn money, buy Only when the rice grains are brought home can I barely satisfy my hunger.
However, the weather this winter has been harsh and the snow has been heavy for a long time. It is basically impossible to find much work. So far, the number of people who have died of starvation and freezing in the counties around the capital has exceeded 100. "The minister who spoke had a heavy tone.
Hearing this, all the ministers were shocked.
If this is the case in the capital, wouldn’t it be even more serious in other states and counties? ?
And in the past few years, I have never heard of so many people freezing to death around the capital. The number this year is really scary.
Then almost all the six ministers began to speak, and every word was thinking about the people of the world.
Lu Qing [Why can't you suddenly understand these ministers? Could it be that he was possessed by a ghost? Even his penniless Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance also came out to speak. Am I hallucinating? Or did they suddenly realize that they should serve the country and benefit the people? Nonsense, don’t allocate money to put it in everyone’s pockets, the people don’t even have a grain of rice. You can't even see a piece of fabric, right? 】
Seeing the little emperor's distrustful eyes and his words, the ministers felt a knowing blow, and their faces turned dark!
Is this the impression they have in the little emperor's mind?
Some ministers felt embarrassed and awkward at the moment. Some of the things the little emperor said were right, and they could not refute them.
Some ministers felt that they were insulted and tried to defend themselves, but at this time the words of the little emperor came again.
[But now that everything has been decided, I will say "Your Majesty" to the left and "Your Majesty" to the right, making it seem like I can influence your decision, so hurry up and get out of here. It makes my back hurt from sitting down, and it's extremely uncomfortable. 】
Su Xiang took deep breaths several times before calming down his expression. If His Majesty continued to speak, he would almost lose his strength.
After all, he felt guilty about this.
As the head of a hundred officials, he failed to manage the court well and did not take the people into his heart. At this moment, he felt very guilty. What has he been doing for so many years? Didn't he just want to help the people of the world live a good life step by step from a poor scholar to the top?
If he hadn't been frightened by the little emperor's remarks, he wouldn't have woken up. Today's remarks made him recognize himself and recall his original intention.
Taking a deep breath, as if he had decided something, Su Xiang came out with a serious face, "Your Majesty, how much relief funds do you think should be appropriated this time?"
Hearing what Su Xiang said, the other ministers and the Queen Mother looked at him with shocked eyes.
What's the meaning? Does this mean that His Majesty can also participate in court matters?
Did Su Xiang take the wrong medicine today?
The look of surprise on Mrs. Chen's face was intense, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that he must not be holding anything back!
What the hell is this old thief Su Xiang trying to do! ?
The ministers thought of something else.
They did not expect that Prime Minister Su actually planned to delegate power to the young emperor today. Perhaps Prime Minister Su was using this disaster relief incident to test the young emperor.
The ministers had different ideas.
At this moment, Lu Qing was cursing in her heart: "What evil is this old man Su holding back?" Why are you suddenly asking me? Aren't these things usually decided by ministers like you and me? You suddenly asked me, what do you want to test? 】
"Then according to Mr. Su's wishes, how much should be allocated? Please tell me what good suggestions you have." Lu Qing kicked the ball back directly. She didn't want to care about these things.
Su Xiang did not expect that the little emperor would have such an attitude, and the reluctance on his face made him stunned for a while.
Is this...not understanding the meaning of his words or simply not wanting to take power?
Does he know that this is the closest he has ever come to power? ? As long as he participates in the decision-making of government affairs this time, his majesty as an emperor will immediately rise, and it will be a matter of time to win over the courtiers. This is the natural advantage of being an emperor and a member of the royal family.
I would like to ask which emperor throughout the ages did not want to be in power?
The other ministers did not expect that Su Xiangdu had given up his power so obviously, and His Majesty declined the offer without even a trace of hesitation.
Yes, Lu Qing's words indeed meant a polite refusal in their eyes.
Queen Mother Chen was so angry that she was furious.
idiot! idiot! She was able to let the power slip away when it was handed to her. How could she give birth to such a daughter? It really pissed her off!
If the emperor has greater power, doesn't that mean that she, the Queen Mother, as her biological mother, has greater power?
Although it's unclear why Su Xiang did this, why don't you want something that was given for free?
Lu Qing naturally felt the scorching gaze of Queen Mother Chen, but she turned a blind eye.
How could she not understand what Su Xiang said? She was the one who had made up her mind to leave, so naturally she would not accept this mess for other reasons.
The Kingdom of Dayu has long been suffering from abuses. Each minister has his or her own agenda and forms cliques. An emperor with no real power has nothing to do with anything he wants. He is restrained in everything he does and is subject to the control of his ministers. , she would have to be crazy to agree.
It's best to just treat her as a mascot as before.
"Your Majesty, if you have any ideas, you can tell us and discuss them with Wei Chen and others..."
"No need, just make your decision. Aren't my dears all very capable in the past? I believe this little thing like disaster relief won't be a problem for you, right?" Lu Qing interrupted the minister and glanced at him with a half-smile. Ministers.
[Since you are so talented, you should work harder if you are able! 】
