Yanguang encountered many things, often one disaster or another. From time to time, the capital was besieged, Kaifeng was destroyed, and other major events. Therefore, everyone was accustomed to the scene of heated quarrels in the morning. Today, the court is discussing whether to move south.

, this is also a first-class event, and the ministers are gearing up to prepare for a big quarrel.

At this time, the words "Is it possible for you to come forward?" The voice was clear and extremely young. After hearing this, many courtiers thought to themselves: "In this situation, if you have something to say, you must speak quickly to build up your momentum. Why do you ask questions? It's aura."

Too weak."

They were eager to get more and more violent and let His Majesty know everyone's attitude.

"Accurate performance."

"Thank you, father, I will play it then."

The ministers thought to themselves that they didn't know who could speak so unfairly. When they turned around, they saw that it was Wang Xiao who was leaving.

It has to be said that this prince-in-law, who is dressed in a python robe and has a high crown and broad belt, does indeed look very elegant, graceful and handsome.

Unfortunately, as soon as he opened his mouth, one could tell that his parallel writing skills were extremely poor, and he was obviously a loser.

I saw Wang Xiao coming out of the class and saying very respectfully: "I have this report, um... I think it is not appropriate for the prince to move south, and he should guard the capital."

Others read and wrote excerpts from their notes, but he acted on the spot, speaking in plain English, and there was no sense of solemnity in his words.

With one sentence, all the ministers laughed again in their hearts.

Many people listened attentively, intending to hear what this prince-in-law who ran out of nowhere could tell him.

Wang Xiao continued: "I have heard that the plague is extremely serious in various places, and the same is true in the capital. Even Prince Gong's Mansion on the edge of the Imperial City has been infected. In such a critical situation, I think that a powerful... person should be sent to take charge of the situation.

To deal with the epidemic. The prince is the 'foundation of the world', and it is most appropriate for him to come forward. I request your majesty to appoint the prince as an imperial envoy to take charge of the epidemic and refugee matters in various places."

After stumbling over his words for a while, he finally finished.

This was actually not the original plan, but today's court meeting was an excellent opportunity. Wang Xiao quickly made a decision and temporarily put the matter on the table with these words, taking advantage of the influence of the cabinet bosses.

All the ministers were a little confused.

What we are discussing today is the relocation to the south, which is a very important national policy related to the fate of the country and to eternity! But this Wang Xiao talked about some trivial matters.

If we move south, tens of thousands of people in the north will have to be abandoned, the capital city of the past three hundred years will be abandoned, the ancestral temples and communities will no longer be what they used to be, and the world structure will change as a result... In comparison, what does a few people who die from illness mean?

Then one of the courtiers said with a smile on his face: "Prince-in-law, the plague is something that has to be discussed at the yamen, but the court is discussing the move to the south..."

Suddenly someone shouted: "I second my opinion!"

It's just three words, but it sounds like something very remarkable. I don't know which important minister is calling it?

With these thoughts in mind, the ministers turned around and saw a green robe that stood out among the red and purple.

It's Luo Baqian again.

Luo Yuan had long wanted to squeeze into the palace, but the guards stopped him from entering. Fortunately, he was good at fighting wits and courage, so he got under the guards' armpits.

Unfortunately, everything he wanted to say was said by Bian Xiuyong. At this time, when he heard the content of Wang Xiaoqi's performance, although he despised the other party as a traitor, he also felt that his words were reasonable.

Since he upheld a public spirit, he spoke generously: "The people are neither hungry nor cold, but there is no one who is not a king. As long as your majesty cares for the people, there will be peace in the world. This year, there was a severe drought first, and then there was a locust plague. Now,

The plague is raging and the people's livelihood is suffering. It's time for Your Majesty to care for the people. The move to the south is a waste of people and money. If the court loves the people, the rebels and bandits will be like chickens and dogs. Mencius said, "If the world is in order, it will win the people."

You can win the world'..."

chatter.

Everyone listened to a lot of great truths without getting tired of it.

Even Wang Xiao was eager for Emperor Yanguang to scold him and say, "Get rid of this seventh-grade petty official." Unexpectedly, Emperor Yanguang wasn't listening at all. He had a sullen face and didn't know what he was thinking...

Luo Yuan asked himself whether he was "treating people but not people". At the same time, someone started to "treat people but not people."

Zuo Jinglun glanced sideways at Wang Xiao.

With just this small gesture, many ministers came out and loudly said: "I second the proposal."

"Today, bones are exposed outside the capital, and the plague has spread to the east of the imperial city. If it is not treated, it may cause great disaster. The prince is a man of virtue and has sent relatives and virtuous people to take charge of the epidemic. I think it is a good strategy."

"The prince is loyal, kind, wise and prudent. He is indeed the most suitable candidate."

"I second my opinion, the prince is thrifty and caring for the people, he is worthy of a great responsibility..."

For a time, Zhejiang Party officials came out one after another to express their opinions. They all praised the prince highly, and then said that the prince should stay in the capital and take on important responsibilities.

For Zuo Jinglun, he was targeting Zheng Yuanhua.

You want to move south to serve the prince, but I won't let you move south to serve the prince.

This made Wang Xiao feel like "I am so naughty." He listened to the support behind him and secretly smiled in his heart.

Thinking about it, if I had directly written to the court to take the plague seriously, His Majesty and the cabinet would probably have dismissed it.

But now directly proposing that the prince should be in charge of the epidemic control is equivalent to changing a concept. The question is no longer 'should it be controlled', but 'who should be in charge'. When the courtiers quarreled over the selection,

After that, epidemic control unknowingly became a confirmed national policy.

Many of the courtiers could naturally see that this was Wang Xiao's scheming, but it was a conspiracy.

For Wang Xiaozeyan, this was the perfect time to make a fuss about the prince, and neither side could care about themselves...

Emperor Biguang looked at this scene in the palace and felt a little helpless.

Originally, according to his wishes, asking Wen Rongxin to initiate the move south and then convincing most of the court officials was equivalent to the officials begging him to move south. Later, the evaluation in the history of Qing Dynasty was very different.

I didn't expect so many people to oppose it, which is a bit discouraging.

But if he, the emperor, can't leave, then the prince can't even think of leaving.

Intellectually speaking, he naturally understood that it was a safe move for the prince to move south to the country, but... he was reluctant in his heart.

At this time, after listening to Wang Xiao's performance and seeing many people who agreed with it, Emperor Yanguang spoke with words of love for the people, expressing that he felt deeply pained by the tragic experience of the people. It was impossible for him to say it to death, so he said: "

Let me think carefully and disperse the court."

His Majesty's words were reserved, and the ministers all felt a little regretful.

Wang Xiao was quite satisfied.

I came to attend a morning meeting today and got something unexpected.

He also took a special look at Wen Rongxin, and saw that Wen Rongxin was staring at him with an extremely unkind look.

Wang Xiao also knew that he had ruined other people's good things. Thinking that Wen Rongxin's mood at this time should be like being cut off while playing mahjong, Wang Xiao smiled and said "I'm sorry" with his eyes, which made the other person even more angry.

Don't hesitate.

Wang Xiao didn't care. As the noble procession exited the palace, Shi Shiran walked out of the palace, planning to go home and catch up on some sleep.

As soon as he walked out of the inner door, he saw Qian Chengyun standing there, seemingly waiting for him.

"Husband-in-law." Qian Chengyun said: "I am in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I have written a letter to impeach my husband-in-law a few days ago. This is an official matter, so please don't mind..."
