Liu Jin was stunned for a moment. He carefully pondered over his words just now, trying to find a loophole.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said that this was not enough, which inevitably made Liu Jin somewhat suspicious.
He had already filled in all the possible loopholes in the 'work-for-relief' system, so there should be nothing wrong with it.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty narrowed his eyes and looked at the ministers of the Jiaofang Palace. He said slowly,""This snow disaster has caused the people of Guanzhong to be displaced and countless people have died.”
"It's not enough for me to simply provide disaster relief. I and the Imperial Court need to show an attitude to the people.”
"Ling!"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spoke loudly, and the Jiaofang Palace immediately quieted down.
Immediately, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said loudly,"I order my grandson to patrol the capital region on my behalf and appease the people affected by the disaster."”
As soon as he said this, the nine ministers were instantly stunned.
Imperial Censor Du Zhou gulped. He wanted to cup his fists and refute Emperor Wu.
This was really against the rules. There was no difference between patrolling the affected people on behalf of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and worshipping the laws on behalf of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Only the crown prince of the Imperium had this power.
But now, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not use the crown prince, but used the imperial grandson to patrol the people of the capital region. This was no longer just pampering.
This was clearly the rhythm of abandoning the crown prince and choosing the crown prince's grandson.
There was no such rule in the world. The crown prince was still alive, so how could he surpass the crown prince?
Du Zhou was just about to cup his fists and step forward, but after seeing the knife-like gaze and majesty of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he did not dare to say anything. His body seemed to be frozen.
A country couldn't lack a supervisory organization. If the officials didn't have the power to supervise the emperor, then once the emperor's personal will overflowed, it would have a great impact on the country.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was able to restrain his own desires, which was not a problem.
But once this precedent was set, what about the future emperors? If the future emperor did not have the great talent and strategy of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but had the monstrous power that was not restricted and supervised, how long could this country continue to exist?
The imperial censor did not dare to let this matter go so hastily. He looked up at the other high officials and found that only Prime Minister Gongsun He did not look at him. The others nodded.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Liu Jin and smiled."Go and prepare. Grandpa will arrange it for you later.”
Liu Jin nodded and left the Jiaofang Palace in a daze.
After Liu Jin left, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not get up, and the nine ministers did not leave either.
There were some words that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not want Liu Jin to hear. It was also out of protection for Liu Jin. Many stressful things were carried by the old man alone!
"Tell me, what do you have to say? You've been holding it in for a long time, haven't you?"
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty held the cup of tea in his hand and glanced at Imperial Censor Du Zhou.
Du Zhou hurriedly cupped his fists and said," Your Majesty, please retract your order. The Crown Prince is still the Crown Prince of the Great Han Dynasty and the heir to the throne. The country is in trouble, so it is the Crown Prince's responsibility to patrol for Your Majesty. Even if the Crown Prince is ill, the other princes should patrol and appease him.”
"How can there be the courtesy of an imperial grandson patrolling for His Majesty?”
These words really couldn't be heard by Liu Jin. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was afraid that Liu Jin's young mind was unstable and couldn't withstand such condemnation.
It was still the same sentence. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was doing his best to shoulder the political pressure for Liu Jin.
If Liu Jin can't fight against these old foxes, then let me, as your grandfather, settle it for you!
This seemed to be a matter of etiquette and law, but in fact, it was the uncompromising power between the monarch and the minister.
"Oh, you all have the same opinion?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said.”
The rest of the officials nodded and used etiquette to stop Liu Jin from going out to inspect the capital.
Only Gongsun He.
Gongsun He slowly stepped forward and said in a deep voice,""Your Majesty, not only do I not feel that this matter has violated etiquette, but I also feel that this matter has great potential.”
"Right now, the people in Guanzhong have become a huge threat to the Great Han.”
"If we send the crown prince to patrol, it will be enough to show that the disaster is huge and will cause even more panic among the people.”
"The imperial grandson is the direct descendant of His Majesty. When the imperial grandson goes out to inspect the affected people, firstly, he can let the affected people feel that His Majesty values them. Secondly, he won't make a fuss about the disaster.”
Du Zhou retorted,"What if all future emperors follow this law?"”
Ancient politics was very complicated. As long as the previous emperors set an example in something, it would be set as the ancestral law. If the later emperors wanted to follow suit, they would make a fuss about it.
Gongsun He retorted," No, it's still based on bloodline. The imperial grandson is the heir to the throne. If other princes went out to patrol, it might cause misunderstandings. But who would the imperial grandson cause misunderstandings?”
After hearing this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty looked at Gongsun He with a shrewd gaze and said with a smile,"What the prime minister said makes sense. Do you have anything else to say?”
Imperial Censor Du Zhou no longer refuted. He did not mean to oppose the Emperor's grandson. As long as he could convince the people and the future emperors, he did not mind pushing the boat with the current.
At today's court meeting, he clearly felt the importance that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attached to the eldest grandson of the emperor. Why did he make enemies for his political career?
"Then it's settled. Prime Minister Gongsun, arrange for the imperial grandson's travel to be done as soon as possible.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Gongsun He cupped his fists.
……
Liu Jin did not know about the intense debate in the Jiaofang Palace, nor did he know that this seemingly inconspicuous sentence of 'patrol on behalf of the Emperor' would cause such a huge wave.
He still didn't understand many of the political rules that belonged to the Great Han Dynasty. He still needed to slowly grow and learn.
He also did not know the weight of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's words of 'inspecting the people of the capital region on behalf of me' and the support and efforts that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had given him behind the scenes.
At the end of the corridor outside the Jiaofang Palace, Anu was still standing in a remote and inconspicuous place with his sword in his hand.
Liu Jin deliberately walked around the road and said to Anu,""I'm going to learn sign language in the next two days. We might be able to communicate in the future.”
"You're very beautiful today. It's just that the black hairpin doesn't suit you.”
"Physical defects are not a serious problem. I noticed that you always like to hide in the corner.”
"Forget it, you won't hear it even if I say it. Let's talk about it in the future.”
Liu Jin waved at Anu and turned to leave.
A Nu looked at her back thoughtfully. Then, she touched the hairpin on her head. Her cheeks gradually puffed up, and she had a very angry and cute expression.
