Chapter 943 He also keeps private soldiers?

[Why did this old guy suddenly kneel down? ]

[Could it be that the emperor knew that he kept two thousand private soldiers! ]

The Minister of War...

It's fake, absolutely fake.

"Your Majesty, this old minister absolutely did not..."

The Minister of War wanted to continue to quibble, but unfortunately, he couldn't say the rest.

The emperor was also shocked. This old guy was so brave that he dared to keep raising soldiers. Was he thinking of rebelling?

[Oh, this old guy is in cahoots with the third prince! ]

[Not only did he keep two thousand for himself, he also kept twenty thousand for the third prince...]

The emperor was so angry that he was panting.

"Crown Prince, take the princess down first!"

Yuan Baobao looked at the emperor puzzledly, not understanding what happened to this man all of a sudden! She didn't do anything, why did the emperor...

"Yes!" The prince calmly led Yuan Baobao away. Yuan Baobao wanted to stay and continue listening, but the prince held her hand, "Aren't you tired? Don't you want to rest?" They

still have to work at night!

Yuan Baobao thought about it and it made sense. The emperor was easy to fool.

"Prince, do you have private soldiers?"

Yuan Baobao still felt that the princes here were a bit brave. When her father was a prince, he never raised any.

Even the eldest prince at that time didn't seem to have that idea.

The prince glanced at Yuan Baobao, "Do you think I'm dying?"

Yuan Baobao chuckled, "It's all my fault! I know you are a good prince who works hard and loves the people. But the famine here..."

If it is not handled, more and more people will suffer in the future.

Although these were not his own people, Yuan Baobao still felt a little reluctant.

"How about you buy a batch of food and send it over yourself? Choose someone you trust!"

The prince sighed, "Baby, what do you think is the best way to deal with the riots over there?"

Yuan Baobao raised his head helplessly, looking at the clear sky.

"In fact, their demands are very simple. As long as they can eat enough, they will not rebel!"

The prince nodded in agreement, and estimated that his father would have new arrangements tomorrow at the latest.

...

The third prince Shanshan came late, and he has been doing disaster relief recently. Although the effect is not very significant, there is a saying that goes, even if there is no merit, there is still hard work.

Besides, it is because of his wise and powerful leadership that those unruly people are honest.

"Father!"

The third prince saluted respectfully. According to the past, the emperor would let him stand up soon and then give him a throne.

But today, what surprised the third prince was that he had been kneeling for a long time, but the emperor above him didn't say a word, and there were three ministers kneeling beside him.

The third prince glanced at the three people out of the corner of his eye.

But he saw that they were kneeling on the ground, not daring to move.

Even their legs were shaking. Did something happen? The third prince's heart was uncertain, and he began to beat his drum.

"Hehe..."

Finally, the emperor laughed!

The third prince raised his head, and something flew towards him.

The third prince tilted his head quickly, but the thing still brushed his ear.

The third prince only felt a sharp pain in his ear.

"Father, what did I do to make you angry? Why are you..."

Hearing this, and looking at the innocent face of the Third Prince, the Emperor felt that he was really blind.

His son's behavior was so obvious, but he didn't know it all along.

"This year, I have been doing disaster relief and have not been back much. I have left my hometown, Father, but has anyone said bad things about me?"

The Third Prince also heard it. The Crown Prince had just come over with a woman and had just left not long ago.

Really... can't wait a moment.

If you don't make progress yourself, you won't see the favor of others.

"Always providing disaster relief? How long has it been, and you are still providing disaster relief? Tell me how you provide disaster relief? Are you satisfied only when you force the people over there to rebel?"

Another thing came, and the third prince was still confused.

It was a stack of memorials, which hit the third prince's forehead heavily. The

third prince did not expect the emperor to be angry, and how could it be so easy to provide disaster relief? The ministers in the capital did not tell him what was wrong with the emperor, and why he suddenly got angry?

"Father, those unruly people actually dared to rebel. I think we should send troops to suppress them now!"

The third prince's eyes turned cold, and there was blood on his forehead, but he did not dare to reach out to touch it.

"Come here, drag this rebellious son away and give him fifty lashes!"

Seeing that the Third Prince was still here without repentance at this time, the Emperor became even more angry. The Third Prince was shocked, "Father, what did I do wrong? Why..."

"I have been busy outside these years. I have no merits but I have worked hard. Father, I really don't know what I did wrong!" The

Third Prince looked at the Emperor with dissatisfaction. The Emperor sneered, "Then let me ask you, can the people in the disaster area be properly resettled?"

"Yes!"

"Every time I send the freshest white rice over, I guarantee that they can have a dry meal a day!"

[Oh my, I didn't expect that the Third Prince would really lie with his eyes open! ]

[A dry meal a day? Why doesn't he go to heaven? 】

【He used moldy rice with sand in it, and you could hardly see any rice grains in the porridge. He only gave them one bowl of food and water a day, which was not enough to satisfy their hunger. Is this what he meant by a bowl of dry rice a day? Is this what he meant by proper resettlement? 】

【Of the one million taels of relief silver, less than ten thousand taels were actually used for the disaster victims. I estimate that only one thousand taels were used. How could the Third Prince be so heartbroken? 】

The third prince felt quite wronged at first, but suddenly he heard a clear female voice.

The third prince was startled and turned to look for someone, "Who, who was talking just now?"

"You are talking nonsense, when did I..."

The third prince wanted to question someone, but found that he didn't see anyone like him at all.

There were no palace maids nearby.

What's more disgusting is that he couldn't even say the following words.

"This, this, this..."

The third prince widened his eyes in horror. This was the first time he encountered such a weird thing since he grew up.

The emperor heard Yuan Baobao's voice again and knew that the princess had not left. She probably took the prince somewhere to watch the excitement.

It's just that what the little girl leaked was a bit big.

Of the millions of taels of silver, only a mere one thousand taels were actually used for the victims.

The emperor was deeply shocked. He himself could not believe it. He only had one thousand taels of silver, but he was facing millions of disaster victims.

How could those people have enough to eat? They couldn't even maintain the most basic livelihood.

No wonder some people rioted or even rebelled!
