Things are weird lately!
The tyrant queen was no longer obsessed with cultivating immortals, and she was as helpless and furious as a stray dog all day long.
Her behavior was so dazzling that it blinded their eyes.
First, rice bran was mixed with sand for disaster relief, which cleverly solved the problem of insufficient disaster relief food, eased the boiling public grievances, and avoided the occurrence of unrest.
Later, he discovered the talent of Li Yaoshi from among the obscurity, and wiped out most of the bandits who were rebelling outside the city, extinguishing the thoughts of many people.
Then, regardless of the dismal ending recorded in history books, they resolutely used the method of work-for-relief to relieve the disaster, which not only saved the people's manpower, but also made the construction of the project free.
Now that I think about it, the act of mixing rice bran and sand into the disaster relief food is simply the first move of using work as a substitute for relief!
It is precisely because the relief food is inedible and not enough to fill people up that the wages and fine food paid through work-for-relief programs become so tempting.
Otherwise, who would work hard if they could eat and drink their fill just by lying down?
Sooner or later it will provoke civil unrest.
and!
The person in charge of the work-for-relief program was also well chosen.
It was not handed over to the Left Prime Minister Kong Lingda.
Nor was it handed over to the Right Prime Minister Yang Yingguang.
Even the six ministries didn't get a share, and it was directly handed over to the Jingzhou government office.
At that time, I felt that this was a stupid move that would only dig its own grave and would lead to nothing.
Now it seems that he has a keen eye for talent!
The Jingzhou government office is a deserted and unknown place.
Why were the two giant Buddhas, Chen Wujiu and Wei Wuyin, hidden?
The job was done very well.
It's absolutely perfect!
It’s amazing!
The more the ministers thought about it, the more frightened they became.
This empress has been reborn!
As for the assassination that happened tonight...
They knew it was a trap even with their toes!
I don’t know which idiot fell into such an obvious trap!
It's really embarrassing for them and only causes them trouble.
It is possible that this assassination was a play directed and performed by His Majesty himself, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to stir up trouble and deal with these people who are hypocritical and disobeying.
Then take advantage of the opportunity to expand and deal with the restless vassal kings...
hiss……
The more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. Maybe everything would be just as they imagined!
no!
You have to get yourself out of this first and protect yourself.
Kong Lingda thought so.
I have been in this officialdom for my entire life and have finally made it to the point of retirement. Now is the time for me to return home in glory and bring honor to my family. I absolutely cannot make any mistakes at this time!
Kong Lingda sneered in his heart.
He must take this opportunity to strike down Yang Yingguang, who has always been at odds with him. This man has always coveted his position and wants to throw dirty water on him.
Then he said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right! I was so wrong!"
"These assassins dared to assassinate Your Majesty openly in Jingzhou City. They are truly audacious and lawless. They must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
"I have carefully questioned the soldiers who participated in the battle. These assassins are not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also have a well-planned advance and retreat, and they work in perfect harmony. They are clearly well-trained assassins!"
"In the whole world, if there are so many death warriors, they must be military personnel. They could be spies infiltrated by the enemy country, or they could be traitors who are about to defect to the enemy!"
"This humble old minister is willing to share your majesty's worries. Why not start the investigation with the Left and Right Thousand Oxen Guards and the Left and Right Mighty Guards, who protect Jingzhou City?"
"I promise that within a month, I will get to the bottom of this matter and restore order to the Great Zhou!"
Upon seeing this, Yang Yingguang cursed in his heart.
Old bastard!
He was born in the Guanlong clan. Currently, most of the nobles in the Great Zhou army are from Guanlong and are his relatives.
This old man must be trying to use this to undermine his status.
Get rid of this thorn in my side.
In this way, he monopolized power and consolidated his position.
How could he let this old man get what he wanted?
He quickly spoke up to stop her, saying, "Your Majesty, I think this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"The Left and Right Qianniu Guards and the Left and Right Wei Guards who protect Jingzhou City are the pillars of the Great Zhou, the stabilizing force!"
"Since its founding, he has been loyal to the Great Zhou, and has fought bravely on the battlefield, achieving numerous remarkable feats!"
"If we rashly investigate without distinguishing right from wrong at this moment, it would be tantamount to doubting the loyalty of the Left and Right Thousand Oxen Guards, the Left and Right Power Guards, and other imperial guards in front of the entire world."
"This move will surely chill the hearts of all the Great Zhou soldiers across the world!"
"The soldiers were loyal to their emperor and patriotic, sacrificing their lives and blood on the battlefield. This is how the Great Zhou won a brief peace."
"Your Majesty, please don't let the warriors of the Great Zhou shed blood and tears!!!"
As he spoke, Yang Yingguang burst into tears.
His words were sincere and extremely sad, revealing all his loyalty and enthusiasm to the Great Zhou.
Everyone who heard it shed tears and felt compassion.
Seeing the two people who always loved to cause trouble for her quarreling, a hint of joy flashed across Yan Jiaoran's eyes.
Tonight's goal has been achieved.
These two people, who were not on good terms with each other, finally fell out and started fighting.
Only when two tigers fight each other can she take advantage of the situation.
So she added fuel to the fire and asked:
"I empathize with the Right Prime Minister's sincere desire to serve his country. I really can't start the investigation with the Imperial Guards, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Great Zhou!"
"Who does the Right Prime Minister think is responsible for this? Where should we begin our investigation?"
Yang Yingguang spoke without hesitation: "I think it must be the remnants of the previous dynasty who are causing trouble!"
