Chapter 251: How to deal with it
How did Yu Wenhong deal with it?
He didn't seem to have coping, because in the end, it was the ministers who were visited by the King of Qi who dealt with it first, and took the initiative to send the gifts from the King of Qi to the front of the palace to express their loyalty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info some of them were visited by the king of Qi openly, and some were visited privately and secretly by the king of Qi.
Except for those courtiers who were willing to accept King Qi's solicitation and encirclement, the other ministers, whether they were visited by King Qi or not, were actually very apprehensive.
The ministers who were visited by the King of Qi often rumored that the gifts they received did not match the gifts they actually received, and although they handed over the gifts given by the King of Qi, they were afraid that the emperor would listen to the rumors and think that they had hidden something. As for those ministers who did not receive the gifts from the King of Qi, they were very afraid that the emperor would suspect that they had received the gifts from the King of Qi but did not hand them over, would they suspect that they had been recruited by the King of Qi.
Yu Wenhong was very happy, and the ministers happily accepted the things they handed over, and by the way, he tried his best to the courtiers, saying that I believe in Qing's loyalty very much, and Qing should not think about it.
Not to mention, there are really a lot of good things in the gifts given by King Qi, occasionally Yuwenhong will leak one or two items from his fingers and move them to her Zichen Palace, among which there are two fist-sized night pearls, as well as two half-human-tall corals, and tell her that corals can drive away evil spirits.
But Jiang Yu always felt that he meant something else by what he said, so he looked at Yu Wenhong's eyes and was very suspicious - should it be her who he said about exorcism?
In the end, the two coral trees were taken away by her in the storeroom, and she loved the two night pearls and took them out to play with for a long time.
Yuwenhong also knew that this alone could not dispel the concerns of the courtiers, so one day the courtiers were invited into the palace and held a banquet.
Then he pointed to one of the adults by the way, and mentioned the words he had talked to his wife with anxiety when he received the heavy gifts from the King of Qi, and even the words that his wife persuaded him to take the initiative to hand over these gifts to the emperor to show his loyalty, as if he was standing in front of their husband and wife at that time and listening. Finally, by the way, he praised his wife, and said with a smile: "Aiqing has this good wife and beautiful wife, which is Aiqing's blessing." Finally, by the way, he said that he would add his wife's edict to a higher degree.
After Yu Wenhong finished speaking, the civil and military officials in the seat were silent, with different expressions for a while, the one holding the wine glass forgot to put down the wine glass, and the one who served the dish forgot to put down the chopsticks, but the people sitting in the seat also sank their eyes silently.
The emperor can know the conversation between the two husbands and wives so clearly, what does this mean, this shows that the emperor has arranged a detailed work in his mansion.
Since the emperor has arranged detailed work in this minister's palace, does that mean that he has also arranged detailed work in his own palace? Suddenly, these ministers also felt Jiang Yu's mood when they first heard about it, and they were very shocked and frightened when they saw that everyone in the palace looked like people installed by the emperor.
Being monitored by the emperor, of course, the ministers' mood will not be too happy, but in addition to being unhappy, they feel that it is good for the emperor to arrange a fine work in their house at this time, which can at least prove their loyalty to the emperor through this fine work, and prove that they were not co-opted by the king of Qi.
This thought turned around, and the ministers didn't know for a while whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to have the emperor's fine work in the palace, which made people very mixed.
As for those who intended to get close to the Queen Mother King Qi, accepted the benefits of King Qi, accepted their solicitation, and did not take the initiative to hand over the gift, their faces turned pale and cold sweat broke out at this time. After the banquet, they immediately handed over the gifts they received to the emperor and then asked for guilt, and the king of Qi promised them all the benefits, and poured beans as usual.
For these people, Yu Wenhong did not embarrass them, and even comforted them and said that he would not pursue them. But these people know that if they want to be promoted in the future, I am afraid that it will be several times more difficult than others.
When King Qi enveloped these people, of course he wouldn't directly tell them, "I may rebel against my brother in the future, you all follow me" Such straightforward words, the words are very obscure, which can be understood by people, but not so that people will grasp the handle. Therefore, Yu Wenhong did not blame King Qi for this.
Yu Wenhong also knows very well, it is very easy to ask the king of Qi, you can find any reason. The most important thing to deal with the Empress Dowager King Qi is not the crime, but the military power of the Cui family. To deal with them, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of the Cui family's hundreds of thousands of troops in Liaodong without affecting the stability of the frontier.
But it doesn't mean that Yu Wenhong completely ignored the behavior of King Qi, it happened that at this time there was a locust plague in Henan, Hebei and Shandong, these places are all large grain provinces, and the impact of the locust plague on the whole country is huge, so it is necessary to cure locusts, and locusts need silver.
Then Yu Wenhong asked the household department to calculate how much silver was needed to control the locusts this time, and how much silver the household still had. As a result, when I did the math, I found that the treasury was so poor that there was not much silver left, and I couldn't even squeeze out the money to cure the locust plague.
Yu Wenhong had a headache, so he had to mobilize the ministers to donate money to make money, and at the same time he took the lead in saving food and clothing, reducing food and clothing to save silver, and at the same time took out 50,000 taels of silver from the private treasury to control the locust plague. Of course, Yu Wenhong didn't say how much silver the ministers had to donate, only that Aiqing was voluntary.
But the emperor took the lead in reducing the amount of food and clothing and dispatched private treasury, and the ministers were embarrassed not to donate. Donate, of course, you have to donate, and this silver can't be missing. Of course, there can't be more, each minister's salary is fixed, and if there are more, the emperor should doubt the origin of their silver. So in the end, each minister donated a position appropriate to them.
As for King Qi, Yu Wenhong has a different attitude towards others, he said: "I see that the fifth brother is very rich, and when I go back to the mansion of the civil and military officials in Beijing, I can receive the gift of the fifth brother." The locust plague affected a large number of people, and the fifth brother, as a descendant of Yuwen, was worshiped and admired by the people, and should be generous to the people. This time to donate silver to cure the disaster, the fifth brother will give 300,000 taels, and let the people see the fifth brother's wisdom and righteousness. ”
The words made King Qi and the Queen Mother speechless.
Of course, the king of 300,000 taels of Qi can't take it out, but it's the kind that hurts so much that his heart is dripping blood. King Qi has needed a lot of silver over the years, and it costs a lot of money every year, 300,000 taels, which is the amount that he needs to work hard to raise.
After Yu Wenjiong came back from the palace, his whole face was black, and he heard that he had beaten some of his subordinates on the grounds of fire. And the queen mother in Jing'an Palace who heard the news began to suffer from head wind again, and she invited several rounds of imperial doctors to no avail.
Of course, these things are all later, just when the ministers suspected that the emperor had done everything in their house, King Lin, who was still in the capital, looked at the eyes of the people around him with suspicion.
Yu Wenhong will install people in the minister's mansion, and there is no reason why he will not plant people around him. Although Yu Wenhong has also been going to the palace and Yu Wenhong to settle people, but people are like this, they all hope that the people they place next to others will not be discovered, but others can't put people around them.
Yu Wenxuan has also guarded against Yuwen Hong by his side all these years, and he is quite confident that he is solid around him, but after this incident, Yu Wenhong is not so confident.
Since Yu Wenhong can install people in the Hundred Officials' Mansion for so many years without being discovered, he may not be much smarter than this civil and military official, and he may not be able to find out all the people in Yu Wenhong, and there must still be people in Yuwen Hong by his side.
Since he knew that he had a fine work hidden by his side, Yu Wenxuan naturally wanted to clean up the portal.
