Zhao Yujin invited several wealthy gentlemen from Xiushui Prefecture to his villa to discuss disaster relief methods, actually wanting to force these rich merchants to hand over money and food. However, these merchants were unwilling to open their wallets for disaster relief. Zhao Yujin then said that he would share the hardships with the disaster victims and would fast, even holding the gentlemen to fast with him. But Zhao Yujin would never really starve himself.
He excused himself to go to the outhouse and secretly went to eat. The gentlemen had been sitting for a day and had been filled with tea, making them very uncomfortable. Hearing that they were still not being released, they became even more anxious and cursed while Zhao Yujin was away. Hai Weining, who had been listening behind them for a long time, finally couldn't help but cough, indicating that he had recorded everything.
The gentlemen had no choice but to shut up. At night, the gentlemen finally couldn't bear it anymore. They excused themselves to go to the outhouse and went to find the kitchen. They finally found the kitchen but discovered that it was very clean and had nothing. Enraged, they decided to leave directly, but they were stopped by Qiu Shui and Qiu Hua as soon as they left the kitchen and brought back to Zhao Yujin.
Zhao Yujin looked at the gentlemen and, estimating that the time was right, continued to talk about disaster relief, even saying that he wanted the gentlemen to stay with him for a few more days to discuss disaster relief methods together. Old Master Hu couldn't stand it anymore and pretended to faint. He thought he would be sent home immediately, but Zhao Yujin summoned Meng Xingde, the imperial physician he had brought from the capital, to examine him.
Meng Xingde had also been instructed beforehand, so he took a look and said that Old Master Hu was experiencing liver fire rising. A few days of starvation, some Chinese medicine, and dozens of acupuncture needles would do the trick. Then, he had Old Master Hu carried down. The remaining gentlemen saw that pretending to be sick was not a way to leave and were at a loss.
Zhao Yujin had Xiao Xiazi bring up the dishes and asked the remaining gentlemen to bid for the food. Whoever offered more silver or grain would get to eat it. The bidding started from ten shi, then to one hundred shi, and finally Hong, the head of the family, successfully bid one thousand shi and got to eat the table of food. Zhao Yujin was quite satisfied with the bidding result of one thousand shi.
The next day, the gentlemen went to visit Old Master Hu and saw that he was awake. They discussed donating some silver and grain, only begging Zhao Yujin to let them leave. Zhao Yujin, seeing that his goal had been achieved, naturally released them and even awarded these gentlemen plaques, saying that they had made meritorious contributions to disaster relief. However, these gentlemen were not ones to swallow their anger, especially Old Master Hu. His son-in-law was Lu Zhenting.
The men discussed having Old Master Hu take the lead in creating a stone tablet with the inscription "A hen crows at dawn, the world is in chaos," preparing to use this stone tablet to build momentum and bring Ye Zhao down from the stage to vent their anger. Before long, news of this stone tablet reached the capital.
Among them, Liu Taifu and Lu Xiangye and others had long wanted to bring Ye Zhao down, so naturally, they spared no effort in whispering in the Emperor's ear. Only Fan Zhongyan spoke for Ye Zhao. For a time, the Emperor was also very embarrassed. He had no choice but to call Ye Zhao and Zhao Yujin, who had already gone to Jiangbei Prefecture, back.
At this time in Jiangbei Prefecture, Prince Qi was discussing the transportation of supplies with his confidants. Prince Qi had built an underground granary to store supplies and had his confidants take good care of it. Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Princess Qi. One day, Prince Qi was reading in his residence when a confidant rushed to report that Princess Qi was missing and that the key to the underground granary had also been moved.
Prince Qi secretly thought something was wrong and rushed directly into the study to check the key. Princess Qi then walked into the study and said that she had never gone out. Although Prince Qi was suspicious, he didn't want to directly confront Princess Qi, so he said that he had obtained a can of good tea and wanted to taste it with Princess Qi, thus concealing the matter.
The Emperor sat in the imperial study, looking at the memorials impeaching Ye Zhao, feeling truly helpless. Ye Zhao had made many enemies in the capital because of her strict military discipline. This time, disaster relief had also touched the interests of those dignitaries. For a time, everyone was pushing the crumbling wall. Consort Zhang saw this and comforted the Emperor, but after careful consideration, the Emperor still felt that he should curb Ye Zhao's arrogance.
Otherwise, Ye Zhao's momentum would be too strong, and new generals would not be able to stand out. Seeing that the Emperor had made up his mind, Consort Zhang didn't say anything. At this time, at Empress Guo's place, Empress Guo had previously been demoted from the palace, but because her brother Guo Fushan had performed meritorious service, she was brought back by the Emperor.
Guo Fushan came to find Empress Guo to discuss matters, saying that he had discovered that the dagger that stabbed Master Li to death was Ye Zhao's Howling Tiger Dagger, so Ye Zhao was suspected of murder. Empress Guo was resenting Ye Zhao in her heart because her nephew had been killed by Ye Zhao, so she encouraged her brother to hand the dagger over to the Emperor, preparing to participate in the team to bring Ye Zhao down.
