Chapter 272: Move
Gao Shenghan sneered, didn't take it very seriously, and took time to meet Qin Cha.
"So, you handed over the criminal official and his family to the second son's care, and the second son dutifully collected and handed over the silver and ink of the criminal official?"
The emperor stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, watching the first snow that fell this winter spread over the entire courtyard, a white patch, and everything in heaven and earth suddenly became empty, looking clean and clean.
Inside...... In fact, it is still full of filth and filth. But it's just nice on the face. is just like this rotten officialdom and stormy country.
Zhou Liyang bowed slightly and replied respectfully: "Back to the emperor, when Weichen first sent soldiers to copy the official wealth, there were actually not many of them. Wei Chen was also puzzled for a while, could it be that the silver two who were greedy for ink were all sent to the side. Fortunately, Master Zhang reminded him that he would hand over the prisoner to the second son of Huainan Mansion to take care of him, and with the talent of the second son, he would definitely find a satisfactory solution. Sure enough, Gongzi Sheng lived up to expectations and had a good hand, but in half a month, he pried open the mouth of the criminal official and recovered most of the official silver that had been misappropriated and greedy for ink to build the river embankment, which was really gratifying. If not, Wechen is still worried about the money to appease the people's livelihood! β
During this southern tour, the treasury did not distribute much money at all, but only sent him to the south, where he had his own way to get money and food.
Sure enough, the emperor's people are waiting there!
Zhou Liyang cautiously raised his eyelids and quickly glanced at the young king, and he admired himself in his heart!
The emperor has calculated everything, everything in the world is in his eyes and in his heart, he didn't expect that the emperor had already arranged his own manpower in the south! Due to the timely distribution of relief grain and rice and herbs for the prevention and treatment of typhoid fever and cholera, the deaths and injuries of the displaced people were controlled within a certain range, and the bad situation did not continue to expand. After two months of governance and guidance, the displaced people who fled for their lives have slowly returned, after all, it is common for the homeland to be difficult to leave people, and there is the government to help rebuild their homes, the displaced people are quite grateful, and they are willing to be obedient and hard-working, only in winter, but seventy or eighty percent of the people have been settled, and the county lieutenants and all the documents that have been left behind are fast, and then there are the old village chiefs who have taken refuge in time in each village to take the lead, and it is estimated that it is no problem to spend this New Year safely. At the beginning of spring next year, the silt will be planed and sunned, and the grain seeds will be sown, and in the autumn we can harvest a new hope for the year.
After listening to Zhou Liyang's mixed report, Gao Shenghan pulled the corners of his lips.
Isn't it fast and fast? Who knows how much money she put in front of her to buy rice and grain? The medicinal herbs are still looking for Shen Yiyi, and she doesn't know how to return this favor!
Think about your own private treasury flattened again......
No, how can this be counted only as one's own! This is only a temporary borrowing, and next year the treasury will collect the tax money, and she will have to make up for it!
As for the greedy ink and silver taels that the second prince of Huainan secretly vacated to fill the shortfall, it was those corrupt officials who handed it over to curry favor with the king of Huainan and other vassal kings, and they dared not spit it out? The second prince Xu didn't know about this, but didn't he have a staff sent by the palace! How many of the arrested convicts didn't have any connection with the above? Dare not take money to atone for the crime? I believe that some of the incriminating letters and other letters they keep in their hands will make the princes willing to give generously to save the emergency. As for some of the extravagance spent, let's cut a few people to deter it.
I've been here for a long time, I'm dead or something, the death order was still issued by her, and Gao Shenghan is quite numb.
At that time, someone pleaded for mercy and pleaded with the children to open the net to protect the family members of the offender, but she didn't mind selling those old things. also give them a long memory, let them remember that she still has the final say in this country!
The next day, when he went to the court, he sang praises again, and different voices jumped out to accuse and scold Zhou Liyang for forcing the criminal's family members to death with his black hands.
Without him, this is the first few days of catching those officials, because of a moment of negligence, someone took advantage of the loophole, and a jailer (Gao Shenghan suspected that it was a nail) molested an official lady, and the young lady was so ashamed that she hanged herself.
It was not surprising that this matter was taken out and said.
Zhou Liyang hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.
The emperor pretended to reprimand, offset the merits and demerits, and punished him for thinking about it behind closed doors (arranging a vacation in disguise), and fined him for half a year, but his official position was exceptionally promoted, transferred to the Criminal Department, and became a five-grade outsider. You must know that he has just been promoted to the fifth grade in the first year of the Jinshi, which can be regarded as the emperor's grace, not that there are no ancients, but it is definitely rare, and the favored ministers who have this precedent in history can be counted in a slap.
Chu Yunsheng's father, Chu Jun, twitched his eyebrows, and thanked Huangen for adding him another capable general.
The complainant Yu Shi was not satisfied, and asked directly: "Lord Zhou can have this honor if his merits and demerits are offset, and how should the victorious son who has made meritorious contributions be rewarded?" β
Shenggongzi, the second son of King Huainan, has a single name and a winning character. This person is arrogant and uninhibited, and it is good not to cause trouble and cause trouble, where does the credit come from? Many ministers were very unimpressed, but they also held their hands and pricked up their ears to listen to the emperor's arrangements.
The corners of Gao Shenghan's lips curled slightly, and he nodded appreciatively, expressing his agreement with Lord Yushi's speech.
What Aiqing said is extremely true. Sheng Gongzi went south this time to cooperate with the Qin Cha to deal with the flood affairs, and it is indeed meritorious, and I must reward it well to set an example! β
The ministers secretly glanced at the emperor secretly, and found that the emperor had no angry face, and even some kind faces, and they were very strange in their hearts, and quietly gave their acquaintances a look, and they stood up and handed the emperor a ladder with interest, saying that this time it was all handled properly, and the second son of the king of Huainan was just coerced to take care of it, and he should not be the first to take credit, and the emperor would reward some silver money and cloth. In the future, when the son of victory makes great contributions, it is not too late to reward him.
"How can this be?" The emperor disagreed, "If you have merit, you must be rewarded!" Come! Intended purpose. As if she was afraid that everyone would interrupt and not allow her to reward the heroes, a smooth reward was awarded, and the ministers exploded like five thunders, scorching on the outside and tender on the inside!
ββThe second son of the king of Huainan was given the title of Marquis of Rongen, enjoying 500 households and fiefdom Ronghuai County.
The ministers looked at each other and wanted to refute, but they couldn't find a reason to oppose it!
Because, Ronghuai County was originally the fief of King Huainan! And he broke a piece of the land of the king of Huainan and gave it to his son...... Seemingly, it's not wrong? But that's not a reward, is it? There are still taxes for those 500 families in that land, which belonged to the Huainan Palace! The real reward was the marquis, and the gold and silver cloth were secondary.
The ministers talked a lot, and some of them vaguely guessed the emperor's intentions. Dong Ge's eyes flashed:
Here it comes! The emperor has made a move!
