The emperor looked condescendingly at the kneeling officials, "Dong Shangshu's words have been heard, and the household department can check it, but if there is no problem with the household department, then what should you be guilty of?"

The emperor's words made them understand that unless today's matter is not investigated, if it is not investigated, it will not be easy for them to understand.

King Qing looked at the emperor puzzled, is this blowing up these people?

Some officials retreated.

Among these people, there are many who go with the flow and do not know the truth.

A few whistle-blowing letters and a few ordinary people are not enough to prove anything, and the only thing that can move to Dong Wende is to thoroughly inspect the city food. As long as the amount of food for the city is not right, then Dong Wende will not be able to escape this time, the imperial court has been cracking down on this kind of corruption in the DPRK and China in recent years, just look at the Ministry of Industry.

As for the position of the head of the household, it is the so-called capable person who lives in it, and it is the position with the most oil and water.

But what does Dong Wende mean by this, they don't dare to gamble, or is there any ulterior secret?

The emperor said: "I will ask you again, do you still insist on a thorough investigation of the city food?"

The hesitation of the joint officials made the people in the dark anxious.

"The minister asks for a thorough investigation of the city's food. ”

"The minister would rather be convicted than eradicate the traitors in the court. ”

The first person took the lead, and the second person followed suit, and seven or eight officials made a statement, obviously it was time for them to make a last stand.

The emperor said: "Are there any other people who advocate investigation?"

The hall was silent, and everyone was calculating the gains and losses.

Wei Xiang clenched his fists, "The minister is willing to preside over this thorough investigation, whether it is the household department or other people who sue the household department, the minister will thoroughly investigate them one by one." ”

Wei Xiang expressed his position directly.

Wei Xiang's statement made people in Wei Xiang's vein make up their minds to withdraw from this turmoil, and some of them made up their minds to participate in the end.

In the end, 11 officials advocated a thorough investigation.

The emperor said: "Give me these eleven officials, together with their families, all of them." After a thorough investigation of the matter of bringing the city food, the execution will be carried out. ”

The emperor got up and left.

Everyone present looked in disbelief at the direction in which the emperor left, and the plaintiff was taken, which had never happened before.

The guards, dressed in armor and armed with blades, ran in unison.

The rest of the hall watched as the eleven men were taken from their official hats and escorted away.

I heard a trembling voice ringing out, "What's going on?"

Dong Wende ignored it, he walked straight out. He has no affection for these officials who have come forward to impeach without knowing it.

Wei Xiang muttered: "Your Majesty is afraid that it has already been decided. ”

If the conclusion had already been reached, what kind of silver was used for the grain in Northern Xinjiang? And who mentioned the city protection grain? Could it be that His Majesty had tested the officials?

King Qing asked to see the emperor with a heart full of doubts.

Without waiting for King Qing to ask, the emperor asked Zhang Fuhai to take the 800 li expedited sent by Deputy Commander Hu to King Qing.

King Qing exclaimed: "The city moat has never left Beijing at all? No wonder, no wonder Dong Shangshu is so calm and calm, but what about the grain in the northern Xinjiang?"

The emperor raised his forehead: "I guess that the child is willing to sell again." ”

King Qing's eyelids jumped wildly, how many belongings did she have to squander so much.

He didn't think about where to go for grain and grass, but to get rid of the officials in the DPRK who were dissatisfied with Dong Wende, and he squandered his wealth like this, which was unprecedented. No wonder she can leave safely, no wonder she is relieved to let five thousand soldiers accompany her to rhyme with grain and grass.

You must know that the cart can't be transported to the Great Zhou, and the grain can be burned on the spot if it is afraid of fire, but the stones?

King Qing raised his forehead, "Except for her, who can think of such a bad idea." ”

The emperor smiled: "It's a bad idea, and it's also a good idea." The winter in northern Xinjiang is extremely cold, freezing three feet, and now there is nowhere to break ground even if you want to build a city. With those that are carried as you wish, at least the city can be increased by a foot. ”

King Qing clenched his fists, "What the imperial brother said is, but if the city protection food has not left Beijing, then what else is there to investigate?"

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, "Check the spies, I don't know much about the city protection grain, who leaked it, and where did these officials who sued Dong Qing open the exact news." ”

King Qing said: "Then do you want your brother to participate in this matter?"

The emperor shook his head, "I want to see Wei Xiang's loyalty, as for you...... I have detailed the background of the officials of the ministry. ”

King Qing exclaimed: "Brother Huang wants to move the ministry?"

The emperor said: "Yes, just take advantage of this time when everyone is relaxed." ”

Now that the Ministry of Industry has just been investigated, and such an incident has happened to the Ministry of Households, officials with problems in the Ministry of Officials should pay attention to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households at this moment.

King Qing led the order to leave, he looked into the distance, and said in his heart: "Ruyi, Ruyi, everything that is happening now, did you predict it in advance?"

He couldn't help laughing out loud when he thought about it, he thought of Dong Ruyi's reluctance to go to Northern Xinjiang. What's wrong with him, he even thinks about it. From deciding on the candidate to go north to Dong Ruyi's decision to go, how could she think so carefully in a short period of time.

He didn't get on the frame, but strode out of the palace.

***

Half a month later, Dong Ruyi and his entourage arrived safely in northern Xinjiang, and there was no moment of peace on the side of the imperial court.

Wei Xiang led people to inspect all the granaries of the moat's grain, although it was only a random inspection of the warehouse, but 2.5 million quintals of grain were not two buckets, less than many people with long eyes could see it.

Together with Wei Xiang, there were also Du Yushi and Dali Siqing, and under the joint writing of the three, Dong Wende was not guilty at all. As for where he got the food for Northern Xinjiang, he only needs to report this matter to the emperor, and there is no need to explain it to others.

The eleven officials who were imprisoned were already trembling, but at this moment, they all couldn't believe that the city protection food was still there.

At this moment, whether it is Liu Xiangyi or the real spy, they are all in shock at the moment. You must know that some news is impossible to fake, such as the money and grain of the household department and the emperor's decree to pay the food and salary of the northern Xinjiang for the next year in advance.

Wei Xiang's investigation was extremely thorough, and after Wei Xiang's thorough investigation, Liu Xiang's vitality was greatly damaged, and the fine works that Tubo stayed in the court and Hu Ren had just bought were also cleared.

This time, more than 10,000 people beheaded and raided their homes, and the heads cut off outside the noon gate could be piled up into a hill if they were not collected, and the smell of blood in Jingzhao hovered over Jingzhao for a long time.

***

The Marquis of Zhenbian received a message from the imperial court a month ago, and he began to organize the people to retreat from that time. At this time, he was escorting the last people to evacuate.

The reception of Dong Ruyi was General Si Ning, the fiancé of the Seventh Princess.

General Si Ning originally wanted to assist the Marquis of Zhenbian to escort the people, but this time it was not only the seventh princess who married to the northern frontier, but also the king of Zhou, the overseer.
