Chapter 134: Silence

"His Royal Highness King Yue, half a month ago, you took away 100,000 stone of grain from the granary on the outskirts of Beijing through Xu Shilang of the household department. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info dare to ask the prince, what is the purpose of these grains? Where does the food go now? ”

Mr. Mingde only investigated for three days and found many flaws.

At the beginning, Xu Shilang contributed Xu Yan'er, curryed favor with Han Xiu, a faint gentleman, and was promoted to the secretary of the household. Soon after he took office, King Yue came to the door, and the two secretly reached a deal, and then, King Yue took away 100,000 stone of grain.

When the southwest flood occurred, the granary in the suburbs of Beijing was enough to last for a month. It's a pity that King Yue took the grain away, and the reserves of the granary were exhausted, which made Han Xiu completely helpless.

Now, Mr. Mingde is attacking the early dynasty to recover this part of the grain.

However, is King Yue so easy to speak?

Is it so easy to spit out something that you swallow in your stomach?

"The king said that the grain was the pay of the front. It has been dispatched by the Ministry of War and all of them have been transported to the hands of the soldiers. King Yue first drooped his eyelids, and then suddenly opened them, and his eyes burst with light.

He glared at Mr. Mingde, his eyes full of stern accusations: "The victims of the disaster need food, don't the soldiers at the border gate need food?" Mr. Mingde doesn't think that the soldiers can win the war even if they are hungry, right? ”

"The victims are people, and the soldiers at the border are also people! Mr. is benevolent and sympathetic to the suffering of the victims; But should the soldiers go hungry? Without the guards of the soldiers, how could everyone sit here? ”

The king of Yue just bit it, and all the grain was used as military pay. Not to mention that Mr. Mingde asked him, even if Han Xiu asked him personally, he still answered the same way.

"Before the emperor returned to Beijing, he had left enough food and salary for the army. May I ask His Royal Highness King Yue, who do you want to give this 100,000 stone of grain you received? "Mr. Mingde pressed forward step by step, and refused to give in a step.

Food, when it comes to the people of the world, is not perfunctory in one or two sentences.

"This king has already said that the soldiers are fighting every day, eating a lot of food, and the food is consumed very quickly. In fact, the salaries at the front line have long been insufficient. Even so, it doesn't necessarily last long......"

"His Royal Highness King Yue, do you know how much grain is 100,000 stones?" Matilda interrupted him abruptly.

Without waiting for King Yue to answer, Mingde continued: "One stone of grain is about 100 catties, and 100,000 stone of grain is 10 million catties. One catty is equal to sixteen taels, and one tael of dry rice can cook three taels of rice. An adult man, according to the larger amount of food, can eat eight taels of rice in one meal. The soldiers ate two meals a day, that is, a pound of rice. Converted into dry rice, it is a third of a pound a day! ”

"I'll triple it for you! A soldier can eat a pound of dry rice a day! 10 million catties of grain, calculated according to the 100,000 army, can be eaten for about 100 days! ”

When Mingde said this, he paused for a moment, probably waiting for the ministers to calculate it in their hearts. After a while, he continued: "When the emperor left, he left behind 100,000 stone of grain! And the remaining army is less than 100,000! ”

"The food and salary left by the emperor, as long as you don't eat Haisai nonsense, can last until the New Year! However, in the mouth of His Royal Highness King Yue, such a sufficient reserve of food and salary has been exhausted?! ”

Mr. Mingde asked questions one by one, aggressively.

King Yue was already stunned, and there was a huge wave in his heart, but his face was suppressed, but he frowned, pretending to look at Mingde calmly, but he didn't know what to say at all.

He didn't understand a word of what Mingde said just now - he knew that a stone was a hundred catties, and he also knew that a catty was sixteen taels, but he couldn't count the rest of the numbers!

"When did this king say that the food and salaries on the front line have been exhausted?!" King Yue's eyes rolled, and he immediately began to refute, "This king just said that the food is consumed very quickly, and I don't know how long it can last, but I didn't say that it has been eaten up!" ”

"What's more, preparing more food stocks for the front line can also appease the hearts of the soldiers and make them more concentrated on fighting." King Yue began to shift the focus, and kept making excuses to excuse himself.

"To store food for the soldiers, to appease the hearts of the soldiers, the food left by the emperor is enough! Now that the southwest is seriously flooded, and the number of people affected is increasing, King Yue still hurries up the time to send the 100,000 stone of grain back as soon as possible! ”

Mr. Mingde stared at King Yue for a moment, his eyes flashing with a dark luster.

"Since it's been sent to the front line, it's not good to transport it back, right? Otherwise, what would the soldiers think?! It's going to hurt morale! King Yue's eyes kept flickering, obviously his heart was empty.

"If it is for the victims of the southwest disaster, I believe the soldiers will be considerate! After all, Dashun's soldiers came from Tiannan and Haibei, and many of them were from the southwest, and their relatives were also affected......"

Mingde continued to press, wanting to force King Yue to submit.

At this moment, the voice of the eunuch suddenly came from outside the hall.

"The emperor has arrived!" The sharp and slender voice of the little eunuch suddenly broke the peace of the palace, and many people lowered their heads to hide their lips and whispered to those close to them.

The emperor is back!

The emperor is back so soon!

It's not that the emperor was assassinated by King Liang before, suffered a serious shoulder injury, and lost too much blood and was in a coma all night. How did he recover so quickly?

Many people have something strange in their hearts, the smooth progress of government affairs in the past three days has made them faintly hope in their hearts, hoping that Han Xiu's injury has always been bad, and the queen mother and Mr. Mingde have always been temporarily acting for the government.

Without Han Xiu's insistence on going his own way in the court, many government affairs are going on at a rapid pace.

"The emperor has arrived—" The little eunuch reported again.

And stepping on his shout, Han Xiu finally walked in step by step and full of momentum.

He first glanced at the throne and found that Shi Jiao'e was not sitting on it, so he nodded with satisfaction. Then, he glanced at the ministers again, and saw that everyone was kneeling on the ground together, and his heart became more and more happy.

He's the emperor! The supreme emperor in the world!

Even if he is sick, even if he can't go to court, the queen can't sit on his seat, let alone dare to sit on his seat!

As long as he can show up, everyone must kneel to greet him.

Han Xiu was proud for a moment, suppressed the impetuosity in his heart, and moved his gaze to Mr. Mingde. As expected, Mr. Mingde also knelt down, but

――Dividing Line――

There are still a few sentences left, and the code is not finished, and it will be changed in about ten minutes.
