The dishes have five flavors and the wine has three rounds.
The steaming hot pot, coupled with its spicy flavor, made Liang Jingna feel full.
But it must be said that as an emperor, she hasn't had such a comfortable meal in a long time.
Chen Yuan'er was also very happy. His Majesty finally spoke to her, and this time he even had dinner with her, a concubine, and most importantly, they ate hot pot together.
If other concubines knew about this, they would definitely be surprised. When did the emperor treat a concubine so well?
I also had hotpot with her and it was nice to be able to talk to her for a few more words.
At night.
On the dragon bed, it was still Lu Yun, and it was still pitch black.
At this moment, Chen Yuan'er clenched her hands tightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, I...I want that..."
After hearing this, Lu Yun's mind was instantly filled with emotion. He had just eaten hot pot, which must have been very spicy... How could this be possible!
He quickly refused!
He pushed the virtuous concubine down directly, and the two of them fought for three hundred rounds, but there was no winner. It was so dark and chaotic that it happened in a flash.
After more than two hours, Lu Yun finally felt better.
The virtuous concubine finally admitted defeat. With a look of happiness on her face, she said to Lu Yun, "Your Majesty, you are too powerful. I really can't stand it."
"I didn't expect that after such a long time, Your Majesty is still so brave. I am so happy to be able to serve you better. I am so happy. Your Majesty is still the best."
Lu Yun chuckled and thought this was not over yet, and then the two of them mounted their horses again and fought for three hundred rounds!
Just like that, after a period of darkness, Chen Yuaner finally fell asleep.
…
The next day.
Above the main hall.
Prime Minister Wang An stepped forward and addressed the civil and military officials present, as well as the Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, quite a few disaster victims have arrived near the capital, outside the city gates, and even inside. The gathering of these disaster victims poses a significant threat."
"Although the imperial court's disaster relief grain will arrive soon, many people have arrived early. There's no other way. The imperial court has already set up relief grain outside the city as quickly as possible."
"But Your Majesty, we have discovered that many people who are not victims of the disaster are stealing the food from them."
"Your Majesty, this is indeed a problem, and we certainly haven't been able to solve it yet."
Liang Jing was thoughtful when he heard this.
I didn't expect that a piece of disaster relief grain could cause such a big thing, although these are just small benefits.
But the long-term accumulation is also a loss for the victims.
They were already hungry and cold, and now there were people impersonating them and robbing them.
On the side, Lu Yun was also fast asleep. For some reason, he felt particularly sleepy as soon as he entered the court and could even fall asleep while standing.
Plus, I fought three hundred rounds last night and I was exhausted.
He definitely needs a good night's sleep.
"Eunuch Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Yun was suddenly awakened. He glanced at the ministers present and laughed. He didn't hear clearly just now, so he quickly asked someone to explain it to him before he realized what was going on.
"Oh, you are talking about this."
"It's very simple. Just add some sand, pebbles, or even soil to the porridge or steamed buns people eat."
"The nipples are also dirty. This will prevent most of the people who are greedy for small profits. They dare to snatch food from disaster victims. How shameless."
Upon hearing this, many ministers present were greatly shocked. They never expected that the solution that Eunuch Lu came up with would be like this. It sounded like it made some sense!
But if you think about it carefully, this is not right!
Why do you treat these disaster victims like this? They already don't have enough food to eat or clothes to wear, and now you still don't treat them like human beings.
"Eunuch Lu!"
Yang Zhong stood up with some excitement.
"I understand. There is indeed a way to keep those who are trying to take advantage of the situation away. But if you do this, won't it be very unfriendly to the ordinary disaster victims?"
"What's wrong with the disaster victims? They are human beings too. You are obviously not treating them as human beings by doing this. This will arouse public resentment. It is also not kind of you to do this!"
"Can't they eat better food?"
Lu Yun curled his lips. "Of course, you can eat better food, but Yang Xiangguo, have you ever thought about what it would look like when a person is extremely hungry?"
"Didn't I tell you? Someone's taking advantage of the situation!"
"Only people who are extremely hungry will eat such filthy food regardless of the consequences. On the contrary, those who are not hungry and have good food to eat will definitely not eat this."
"You don't have to be so saintly. I haven't seen you so kind before. Are you here just to disgust me?"
"you……"
Yang Zhong was speechless for a moment, but he couldn't say anything.
This seems to be the only way to handle this matter.
At this moment, the Minister of Justice hurried forward.
"Your Majesty, many food stores were invaded by a large number of disaster victims and civilians last night!"
"They directly stole the grain, so the grain merchants are very angry now. They asked the government officials to quickly arrest these disaster victims and the people and torture them severely."
"Your Majesty, a lot of grain was lost this time. The grain merchants will definitely be very angry. I think..."
Hearing this, Lu Yun was stunned for a moment. Were the grains stolen? Although it was indeed a bit gratifying, it was indeed not a good thing to do.
What’s more, this kind of theft happened in the capital.
If it is not handled properly, these merchants will definitely be dissatisfied, and that would be ignoring the laws of the court.
"Your Majesty... Although these grain merchants have been quite despicable recently and have set prices very high, the grain is their property. To have it taken away for no reason is probably a violation of morals."
"Your Majesty should investigate this matter thoroughly and let those people know!"
"Even if they are disaster victims, they cannot act recklessly. Moreover, the imperial court has specially distributed disaster relief grain."
Liang Jing hesitated for a moment and looked at Lu Yun, "What do you think?"
Lu Yun sneered, "Let me say something you may not like to hear. These people deserved their injuries. It's their fault for setting the price so high. But having them snatched away is definitely not a good thing."
"Your Majesty, this matter is of no small importance."
"We should let our people from the West Factory investigate carefully!"
"Let's see what's going on here."
As soon as he said this, many people rushed to dissuade him.
"Your Majesty, let the people from Jingzhao Prefecture handle this matter."
"That's right, just let the people from the government investigate. There's no need to use the Western Factory. They're already elite troops, so why waste their talents?"
"Yes, Eunuch Lu, let's let the people from Jingzhao Prefecture investigate!"
