Chapter 433 The prince is righteous and wants to kill him
"Prince, I just happen to want to talk to you about something. How about we talk while walking?" Jin Mingxue made a gesture of invitation.
"Don't be in a hurry, Lord Jin. I have more urgent things to understand right now." Xiao Yan'an turned his gaze to Chunsheng.
"Prince, I have something urgent to deal with." Jin Mingxue said anxiously.
Xiao Yan'an raised his hand and placed it on his shoulder, and with his other hand, he directly covered Jin Mingxue's mouth.
Jin Mingxue's whole body tensed up, and then he heard Xiao Yan'an's voice again.
"Chunsheng, how miserable is Qutan County? They are so miserable that they took the disaster relief supplies from the court and came to rob my goods!" Xiao Yan'an's voice was sonorous and powerful.
Jin Mingxue looked at Xiao Yan'an with eyes wide open, full of surprise.
"Your Highness, the people of Qutan have not received any disaster relief supplies from the court. They are now starving. Some young and strong people can still find ways to find something to eat, but many of the elderly, the weak, women and children have starved to death! You can even see unburied corpses on the streets!" Chunsheng told them what he had seen.
The people around sighed.
"How could this be?"
"Where did the disaster relief supplies from the court go?"
The discussions around were getting louder and louder.
"Could it be that some corrupt officials have embezzled money?"
"In the face of such a great disaster, they dared to embezzle and withhold relief supplies. We must find out the truth! If it was really withheld by these corrupt officials, it would not be too much to execute their entire clan."
"That's right, we must find out the truth!"
Xiao Yan'an looked at the excited people, then turned and looked in the direction of the imperial palace.
"Since this prince knows about this matter, I will not stand idly by. I will go to the palace to meet the emperor and explain the matter!"
Xiao Yan'an turned around, mounted his horse, and headed towards the palace.
Only then did Jin Mingxue know.
Marquis Wuyang mentioned that there is a more suitable person to expose this matter. Who is this suitable person?
He had just heard the news and was worried that the Crown Prince would be involved in this matter, so he wanted him to stay away.
I never expected that the person who pleaded for the people was the prince!
"Prince, it's righteousness!" Jin Mingxue bowed deeply in the direction where Xiao Yan'an disappeared.
……
Xiao Yan'an entered the palace again and intercepted Prime Minister Qin and several other ministers who were about to leave the palace.
Among these people, there is also Rong Yuchuan.
He looked at Xiao Yan'an with a puzzled look.
I have a hunch that something must be wrong with this child.
"Prime Minister Qin, gentlemen, have you just come out of the imperial study?" Xiao Yan'an asked with a smile.
"Prince, is there something wrong?" Qin asked in a different way.
"Don't leave yet. The emperor will summon you to the palace later. Come on, come back with me. There is something important to discuss." Xiao Yan'an grabbed Prime Minister Qin's arm and pulled him back.
"Prince, let go first. It's so disrespectful to keep pulling and tugging like this." Prime Minister Qin straightened his sleeves unhappily.
"Prime Minister Qin, please come in!" Xiao Yan'an gestured for invitation.
Although Prime Minister Qin didn't believe that Xiao Yan'an had anything important to say, Rong Yuchuan was bound to go back, so Prime Minister Qin was also prepared to follow him to see what Xiao Yan'an was up to.
Chao Sihai had just received a letter via carrier pigeon. When he saw the content, he was almost scared to death.
He quickly ran towards the imperial study.
I saw Xiao Yan'an and the group of people led by Prime Minister Qin who had just left walking towards this side.
Finished!
This time, it’s really going to blow the roof off!
The emperor looked at the people lined up in front of him, and his gaze finally fell on Xiao Yan'an.
"Prime Minister Qin, what's going on?" The emperor asked Prime Minister Qin.
Prime Minister Qin pointed at Xiao Yan'an and said, "You'll have to ask the prince about this."
"Your Majesty! My caravan returned to the city today. As soon as we got back, he told me something very serious. I dared not hide it, so I rushed to the palace to meet Your Majesty!"
The emperor immediately understood what Xiao Yan'an was going to say.
He turned around, leaving his back to the people present.
The main reason he didn't want to face them was because he was afraid that he couldn't hide the murderous intent in his eyes.
"Prince, stop making trouble. What news can your caravan bring back that you have to disturb the emperor?" Rong Yuchuan also understood what Xiao Yan'an wanted to do.
This is to expose the truth about disaster relief!
He would rather do it himself than let Xiao Yanan do it.
"My dear Lord Rong, you are such an incompetent uncle! His father is not in the imperial capital, so he thinks that no one can discipline him. I will give you the power today. From now on, you can discipline him well! Let him know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will follow your orders and discipline him well!" Rong Yuchuan immediately walked towards Xiao Yan'an and held his arm tightly.
"Uncle, whenever you discipline me, I always obey you. However, today's matter is really important. I am not fooling around."
Xiao Yan'an pushed Rong Yuchuan's hand away and knelt down directly in front of the emperor.
"Your Majesty! I want to report the governor of Qutan County and the governors of the other five counties affected by the disaster! They have enriched themselves and withheld the relief supplies allocated by the court, causing the people to starve to death on the streets! Please order a thorough investigation of this matter!"
The emperor secretly clenched his hands in his wide sleeves, turned around and looked at Xiao Yan'an, "Is this the news your caravan brought back?"
"Yes! Your Majesty, they passed through Qutan County, and everything they said was seen with their own eyes!" Xiao Yan'an said again.
Prime Minister Qin turned around and looked at Xiao Yan'an.
He thought that someone would definitely come to do this, but he never expected that it would be Xiao Yan'an.
The emperor slammed his hand heavily on the dragon table, "How could this happen!"
"Your Majesty, this is a serious matter. You must send people to investigate as soon as possible. You cannot listen to the words of those county magistrates and delay the disaster!" Rong Yuchuan said immediately.
"Your Majesty, Lord Rong is right." Prime Minister Qin also echoed.
"I will send someone to investigate this matter secretly to avoid alerting the enemy."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xiao Yan'an said immediately.
"However, if we just conduct a secret investigation, the people will have to endure hardships for a while. Xiao Yan'an, I will send you to several county towns with a batch of supplies to appease the people. Are you willing?"
"Your Majesty, the prince is young and I'm afraid he cannot bear such a heavy burden. I am willing to take this mission and go to comfort the people." Rong Yuchuan said immediately.
"It is precisely because he is young that he needs to experience life well! I kept him in the imperial capital to give him some opportunities to gain experience. Right now is a good opportunity. In the future, he will inherit the throne."
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take on this mission." Xiao Yan'an said.
"You said before that the food shipped from Huaiyang can be used for disaster relief. Let's take it with us this time."}
"Yes." Xiao Yan'an responded immediately.
"The situation is urgent. You must leave tomorrow."
"Yes."
After leaving the palace, Rong Yuchuan pulled Xiao Yan'an into his carriage.
"Uncle, I know you are worried about my safety. Don't worry, I will be fine." Xiao Yan'an took the initiative to speak.
