Chapter 232 Chapter 232
In the past two years, Suzhou has suffered a severe drought that has not been seen in a century. All the crops planted in the fields of the people have been dried up to death. After autumn, there is no harvest, and it is difficult to survive.

Seeing that the people could not survive, the King of Suzhou asked the court to allocate relief food and relief money.Murong Zhen has always loved the people like a son, and he asked the Ministry of Households to allocate grain and silver without hesitation.

However, in order to guard against someone embezzling the relief money, Murong Zhen played a trick, specially calling people to the Suzhou area, and publicized to the people the amount of disaster relief distributed by the imperial court this time, so as to shock those people with stretched hands. guy.

However, who knows that the local officials of the Suzhou faction are so bold that they don't pay attention to the imperial court at all.They have long been used to plucking geese, and most of the disaster relief things did not fall into the hands of the people at all, but were embezzled by them in private.

Of course, the biggest thing, according to the convention, was honored to the biggest local emperor in Suzhou, that is, the king of Suzhou.

Seeing the porridge boiled at the gate of the official mansion, it became clearer and clearer.Looking at a bowl of porridge, there are only a handful of rice grains in it, and more and more people are starving to death in the streets and alleys.

Those courageous people gathered and went to the government to make trouble, asking where the money given by the court went?
However, they were driven out by the Yawei's broken leg bones, and at the same time, they got another sentence: It is because of the kindness of the prince that you only have porridge. If someone comes to make trouble again, they will not even be given porridge.

Drinking this clear water porridge is also death, and not drinking this porridge is also death, anyway, it is death, so it is better to desperately seek happiness.

With this in mind, someone came up with a plan and encouraged everyone to simply sue the king of Suzhou with a paper. As long as the mouse in the rice jar is removed, the rice will naturally come out.

But besides the emperor, who else in the world can rule the king of a continent?
So there is this imperial complaint.

This group of disaster victims also went all out. The pleadings not only stated that the King of Suzhou connived at his officials to corrupt the law, but also that the son of the King of Suzhou forcibly robbed the women of the people, and his nephew forcibly occupied the fertile land.In addition, there are tens of thousands of bloodstains on the pleading paper, which really makes people feel shocking when they see it.

Seeing this, the Holy Majesty was so angry that he ordered people to imprison the king of Suzhou on the spot, and asked the people from the Ministry of Punishment to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Then the Holy Lord stopped burning the incense, and returned to the palace with an extremely ugly face.

The king of Suzhou, who just died of his son-in-law, was arrested and thrown into the prison before he could react from his anger.

When he was escorted away, the king of Suzhou only had time to order the steward: "Go and tell the old concubine."

But the old concubine had just learned the news of her grandson's death, and before she could recover, she heard that her son was imprisoned, and she fainted immediately after being out of breath.

When she woke up, she rushed into the palace and wanted to intercede with the Holy Majesty. She was always a distinguished guest in the palace, but this was the first time she was rejected from the palace.

It was also at this time that the old concubine came to her senses: once the emperor and the courtiers, her aunt's affection in the heart of the sage may have been exhausted by her son's deeds long ago.

The old concubine fainted outside the palace gate, but the guards at the palace gate just watched indifferently.

Everyone knows that the king of Suzhou is finished this time.

*
In recent days, the capital city has experienced ups and downs, even more exciting than the big plays sung on the stage.

In the past, the top dignitary met with soldiers for a piece of jade, and died overnight.Later, some disaster victims stopped Shengjia with thousands of blood letters in their hands, and sued the king of Suzhou for embezzling disaster relief funds.

Coincidentally, now several princes had a dispute over the imperial green, and all of them killed each other by killing each other.

Among the nine princes who have gone through several dynasties, besides Dingyuanhou who was ordered to be executed by Qiu Houwen, only Suzhou King and Yun'anhou are still alive, but these two also lost their sons.

Now the king of Suzhou has been involved in another case of embezzlement of disaster funds. No matter how one thinks about this, it feels like the mountains and rains are about to come and the building is full of wind!

And the scholar whispered in private, only saying that those princes blocked the way, and the sky above wanted to kill them.

As for who that heaven is, it is naturally the heaven of the Son of Heaven.

Yun'anhou Mansion.

After hearing the news that the king of Suzhou had entered the prison and that the old concubine of Suzhou could not even enter the palace, Marquis Yun'an leaned against the bookcase in despair, and murmured:
"Wrong, wrong. We recognized the tiger as a sheep, and made the tiger fat and strong. No wonder the tiger can't tolerate us. How can there be many tigers on a mountain?"

And who has reached their status, which hands are clean?
Even if he doesn't do anything, what those people who depend on him do will be counted on his head.

Now it's the King of Suzhou, so it's his turn soon, right?

Marquis Yun An looked at the letter on the desk, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and felt a lot of pain in his heart. After a while, he finally made up his mind.

Since that person deliberately let him go, and returned his dead son back alive, why did he bother to spoil this good intention?
Where there is life, there is hope.

Even if the old ancestor sat in his position, he would understand his decision.

It is worth it to exchange this title for the lives of the whole family.

The next day, Marquis Yun'an felt that he was not strong enough in the court hall and felt that he could not let the people in the fief live and work in peace and contentment, so he offered to give up the position of marquis and also the fief Yun'an, which shocked all the ministers.

And Murong Zhenfeng said lightly that he was right, and asked Yun Anhou to retain his title, but in the future his sons would no longer inherit the title, and the fief would naturally belong to the imperial court.

Marquis Yun An smiled wryly in his heart, but thanked him happily.

Murong Zhen could naturally see his disguise, but at this moment he didn't care about it anymore, he just admired Mingyue's exhaustive calculations silently in his heart.

Marquis Yun'an is the most kind-hearted and soft-hearted among the nine princes. Although he has selfish thoughts, the people in his land are much happier than those in other princes' lands.

So when Murong Zhen told Mingyue that he couldn't kill all the princes and give him a reputation as a tyrant, Mingyue proposed to keep Yun'anhou, and she would ask him to give up his title.

This is a hereditary title, how could anyone give it up by himself?

Originally, Murong Zhen didn't believe it, but he didn't expect her to make it happen.

Moreover, the actions of King Suzhou and Marquis Yun'an's voluntary concession gave Murong Zhen a new excuse to take back the fiefdoms belonging to his Murong family one by one.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the prince's mansion, he wanted to thoroughly investigate all the princes.

And how can those princes stand up to scrutiny?
Although they died, the debts of fathers and sons will be paid, and the relatives of those who have enjoyed their blessings will atone for their sins.

It's going to be windy.
