In the eyes of many people, the potato collective poisoning incident is a big deal, but in the palace and above the court, it is just a trivial matter among the many major national events.

After killing several military officials, the situation gradually subsided. As for the court, there were no ministers or even courtiers of the Ministry of Revenue who received excessive punishment. Only a few insignificant officials were punished with half a year's salary.

The people from the Ministry of Revenue were all guaranteed by Hu Weiyong.

In a side hall of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was convening several ministers to discuss matters.

Fengtian Hall is the largest grand hall for court meetings among the many luxurious palaces of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the imperial decree, it was initiated by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Fengtian Hall is the main venue for court meetings, and on weekdays, Zhu Yuanzhang convened ministers to discuss matters, usually in a side hall.

Now, it's already time for the morning meeting.

In the side hall, there are several ministers including Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, Minister of Revenue, Minister of Rites, and others.

The matter we are discussing today is about the etiquette of the prince's visit to the palace.

With each prince entering the fiefdom and becoming a vassal, there will inevitably be princes returning to the capital in the future to pay their respects to the emperor. Now, it is time to establish this set of etiquette.

The overall matter has been discussed and resolved properly. After the prince comes to pay his respects to the emperor, he will go to the Eastern Palace.

Subsequently, there are various details such as where to enter, what door to pass through, what direction to face, and after the meeting, which door to leave from.

It seems that everyone has forgotten about the potato collective poisoning incident.

After the discussion, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied and waved his hand, indicating that the ministers could leave.

Your Majesty, when the Seventh Prince returns to the capital to marry the daughter of the Wu family, should we also set a date? "Said Hu Weiyong

Zhu Yuanzhang lay diagonally on the bed, and upon hearing this, he immediately slammed the memorial in his hand to the ground.

The ministers immediately knelt down on the ground.

Just finished discussing the etiquette for the prince to meet the emperor, and the first person who may come back to meet Zhu Yuanzhang is Zhu Zhan.

Hu Weiyong took the opportunity to bring up this matter, and Zhu Yuanzhang was indeed furious.

What's the point of coming back after causing such a big trouble? Tell us to stay in Qi and not return to the capital without a decree

Hu Weiyong lay on the ground, his face showing joy: "I obey the order

What did Zhu Yuanzhang think of again? He looked at Hu Weiyong with a long gaze and asked, "Has the 200000 taels of silver for Lao Qi's house been sent over

Your Majesty, it has been sent to Qingzhou, "Hu Weiyong hurriedly said

Although Zhu Yuanzhang has been quite angry with Zhu Zhan these past few days, speaking of which, Zhu Zhan is also kind-hearted, mainly due to the improper handling of affairs by the political envoy of Jinan Prefecture.

Zhu Cha has never experienced anything and has never dealt with any political affairs alone, but does he also have a dry meal as the governor of Jinan Prefecture?

Do you know how to report such a big matter to the court in advance?

It was not until the time of taxation that the court learned about potatoes.

Then, such a big storm broke out, so even though he was angry, he was still very concerned about his own son, Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Hu Weiyong said he had already sent the silver, he stopped paying attention, but he still didn't know that the Ministry of Revenue approved 200000 taels of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, which were very loose.

To build a Qi Wang Mansion, it would require approximately 300000 silver taels. There was already a shortage on the court's side, and Zhu Cha had to pay for it himself. But unexpectedly, the Ministry of Revenue also tampered with this, and all of this was the intention of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong saw Zhu Yuanzhang loosen his grip and took the opportunity to mention the issue of Zhu Cha's original mansion in the capital.

Since he won't go back to the capital to get married, Zhu Cha naturally won't need this mansion either.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong lying on the ground with a long gaze.

Hu Weiyong was also frantically probing on the brink of death, completely unaware that Zhu Yuanzhang had already harbored murderous intentions towards him!

Hu Weiyong, this guy, has too much power and too much control!

Let's take care of it, Prime Minister

My lord, obey the order

Hu Weiyong was planning to leave with his men and report from outside. The Prince of Jin and the Governor of Taiyuan rushed thousands of miles to deliver the urgent report!

In the side hall, the atmosphere suddenly tightened.

The King of Jin and the Governor of Taiyuan both sent urgent reports back, it must be a big deal!

Spread it

Zhu Yuanzhang was originally lying on his side, but now, upon hearing an urgent report, he sat up straight.

Soon, two dusty messenger soldiers, also known as translators, reported to Zhu Yuanzhang about the severe drought and disaster in the Three Jin regions.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up.

Although the King of Jin and the Governor of Bu have opened warehouses to release grain and oversee disaster relief, it is a drop in the bucket and cannot be sustained.

The news quickly spread, and the courtiers entered the palace. The entire Ming Dynasty was like a huge machine, with gears spinning and quickly launching disaster relief efforts.

Zhu Yuanzhang came from a peasant background, and his father, mother, elder brother, nephew, and others all died in the disaster.

He knows too well the grief and despair of not being able to eat and starving to death.

Qi is adjacent to Jin, so it is said that food can be directly mobilized from Qi to Jin for disaster relief.

However, this year, His Royal Highness the King of Qi took the initiative and encouraged a large number of people to plant other crops. Now that potatoes have been completely destroyed, the wheat production in Qi will inevitably be very low this year, and the drought in Jin will also have some impact on Qi.

The refugees from Jin will inevitably go to Qi.

It's not easy to maintain stability in Qi Di, I'm afraid we won't be able to produce any food at all!

Your Highness Prince Qi, why did you mistake me for Daming

Hu Weiyong sighed with regret, and the courtiers all paused.

Qi Di has been causing chaos this year, and I don't know how many more people in Jin Di will die!
