After he finished speaking, he continued, "Your Majesty, now that the natural disaster is serious, there are many bandits and robbers in many provinces. If they know that this subject and Prince Xian are going to provide disaster relief, they will definitely think of ways to ambush people in various places in order to steal the relief funds and food. This subject thinks that this subject should lead 2,000 Xuance Army to escort the relief funds. Otherwise, whether the money and food can be delivered to the disaster area is still a problem. "
He was going to provide disaster relief outside, so of course, he had to bring enough people. He was afraid that someone would take the opportunity to assassinate him.
Grand Tutor Han also said, "Your Majesty, this subject agrees with The Emperor of Li's idea. This disaster relief journey is very dangerous. There are countless powerful bandit groups. If the Prince doesn't bring more people to protect him, I'm afraid that the food will really be stolen. Moreover, if the Prince doesn't have soldiers with him when he goes to the various provinces, I'm afraid that those officials will neglect him and not listen to his command, which will then affect the disaster relief. "
Grand Tutor Li also said, "Yes, and there are many local officials in those provinces who are stationed there. Every time they provide disaster relief, they will exploit layer by layer and embezzle the relief funds of the common people, but the common people have nothing. For the sake of corruption, those officials will bribe the imperial envoys. If the bribe fails, they will take advantage of the high mountains and the Emperor's distance to kill the imperial envoys. And there are people in the Jiangnan area who are plotting a rebellion. If The Emperor of Li brings more soldiers, he might be able to take the opportunity to quell the rebellion! "
Hongyuan Emperor didn't expect that Grand Tutor Han and Grand Tutor Li, who had always been neutral, would often speak for Chu Xuanchen recently. They even appreciated him very much.
He felt very uncomfortable, but he knew that these two officials were doing it for the good of the country and not to help Chu Xuanchen. Only then did he feel a little better.
If Chu Xuanchen was honest, wholeheartedly serving the people, and didn't covet his throne, he would temporarily keep him.
He glanced at Chu Xuanchen solemnly. He was a little afraid that Chu Xuanchen would bring so many soldiers with him. He was afraid that Chu Xuanchen would lead the soldiers to rebel.
But after thinking about it, he only brought 2,000 people, so he shouldn't be able to do anything.
He was someone who had hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Moreover, Yun Ruoyue was still in Shengjing City. He would not dare to rebel.
Thinking up to this point, he said, "Very well. For the sake of the food and money's safety, I agree with The Emperor of Li to take 2,000 Xuance Army soldiers with him. As for The Emperor of Jin, he can also bring five hundred Imperial Bodyguards with him. "
The Emperor of Jin was now his favorite son, so of course he would send people to protect him.
In addition to the guards on the surface, he would also send secret guards to protect him in secret.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen and The Emperor of Jin cupped their hands in greeting.
Looking at Chu Xuanchen's high-spirited appearance, the Empress was so angry that her heart ached.
She clenched her fists so tightly that her fingernails pierced her palms until they bled, but she didn't realize it.
She had worked so hard to raise so much money, but she didn't expect that in the end, Chu Xuanchen's reputation would benefit him.
When the time came, Chu Xuanchen would contribute to the disaster relief efforts. The people would be deeply grateful to him, and his reputation would soar.
As for her, the Empress, because of the Wei Kingdom's Madam, she would become a street rat hated by everyone.
Once the nobles who donated money to her found out about this, they would no longer trust her and would no longer donate money to her.
At this time, Chu Xuanchen cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that after the disaster, there will be a pandemic. I'm afraid that the pandemic will run rampant and cause a disaster. I was wondering if I could bring my Princess Consort with me. Ruoyue is proficient in medicine and knows how to control floods. If I could bring her along, I would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. "
Prince Xian suddenly said, "That's right, Your Majesty. The Princess of Li is proficient in medicine. With her, we might be able to help more people."
