Chapter 81: The Chincha

When he learned that one of the candidates for disaster relief was Zhang Lujin, Xuanhui was completely panicked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 It is recorded in the history books of the previous life that it was this Zhang Lujin who collected money by unscrupulous means in the northwest. At that time, the imperial court issued an order to first open all the granaries of Xi'an and Hanzhong, which were less affected by the disaster, to provide relief to the victims, and at the same time quickly transport grain from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places into Shaanxi.

However, the grain stocks in the granaries of these two state capitals are huge, less than half of what is on the books. In his previous life, Zhang Lujin took bribes from local officials, concealed the deficit, mixed sand and fine soil into grain, and distributed them to the victims. When the relief grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang arrived, he repeated his old tricks, deducting more than one-third of the amount and selling it all. The food distributed to the victims was still mixed with sand.

Although this kind of food will not eat the dead for a while, it is far from benefiting many victims. Obviously, the imperial court brought relief grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the victims could only cushion their stomachs. Wu Wengui, a smuggler of salt, seized the opportunity to incite the emotions of the victims and led hundreds of people to rush into the Fufeng County Ya, kill the magistrate and the rich households in the county, and open a warehouse to release grain.

Since Wu Wengui was well fed and clothed, more and more displaced people began to follow him, and both Shanxi and Shinn West commanded the envoys to retreat, so that Wu Wengui swallowed the entire northwest within a few months.

However, the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty is still rotten, with constant party disputes, and there are fierce quarrels over the selection of candidates to quell the rebels. Due to the tight finances for many years, the military salaries of the imperial court were often in arrears, and most of the commanders in various places raised their own military salaries like Wang Jintang, so they naturally regarded the army as their own bag. When they saw the chaos in the northwest, they watched from the wall and perfunctorily coped with the imperial court's order to transfer troops.

However, the combat effectiveness of these soldiers is far inferior to that of the outcasts who are trying to survive. Therefore, after Wu Wengui went out of the northwest, he went all the way north, like a bamboo, until he attacked the capital, and destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had been passed down for more than 100 years.

At that time, she was reading a history book, and Xuan Hui was still afraid, but now that the name Zhang Lujin appeared again, she felt as if a nightmare was just around the corner.

No, absolutely not! Xuanhui made a fist with his hand, and smashed the tea cup on the kang table. The two lives are princesses, and the pride in Xuanhui's body wells up, since God let him come here, he must fight!

In the afternoon of the next day, Concubine Xian took Xuanhui to greet the Queen Mother. Last night, Emperor Yuanhe told her to go to Cining Palace today to find out the Empress Dowager's tone about the selection of the Qin Mission. Although Concubine Xian felt that this was an overkill, she had to do it.

As soon as the mother and daughter entered the main hall, they heard someone arguing in the banquet room inside, which seemed to be the queen and Funing.

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ What happened to my father as a chincha? Cheng'en Mansion eats meat, can't we drink some soup? Why should good things be held in your arms? The Queen's usual shrill voice sounded even harsher at the moment.

"Bastard! I'm not dead yet! You just ......" Before she finished speaking, the Queen Mother coughed violently.

Concubine Xian felt that the eavesdropping was not good, so she wanted to leave, but Xuanhui pulled her sleeve.

The little palace maids on duty in the main hall were silent one by one, and when they encountered this kind of fairy fight, the minions tried their best to pretend that they didn't hear it, otherwise they would immediately get into trouble.

Fu Ning's somewhat anxious voice came from inside: "Queen, you don't have to say a word!" It's all the Zhang family, why do they need to be so clear about each other? If your own people fight first, wouldn't it be a joke for outsiders! ā€

The queen snorted coldly and said, "Your eldest princess is naturally noble, who dares to fight with you for anything?" Although they are all members of the Zhang family, aren't they also divided into side branches? What kind of life are you going to see in the Chengen Mansion? Let's see what kind of life my father and mother are doing? My father is also the ruler of the dynasty anyway, don't talk about the title, there is not even a real difference! Just pointing to that bit of rice to live, it's not enough to even reward people! ā€

Fu Ning also sneered: "Do you think that the disaster relief Qin mission is to do business?" Would you like to talk to the royal brother about this grand argument? What does it mean to look at him? ā€

"Who doesn't know that the emperor is obedient to the Queen Mother, in the emperor's heart, King Kang and I are not as important as Xue Yingyu and Xuanhui, do I have such a big face? Also, my nephew's birthday was celebrated before, why didn't the gifts sent to the Chengen Mansion be sent to my family? Even this idea has to be ignored, and it is really greedy! ā€

Fu Ning's tone was very impatient, and he argued: "The face is earned by yourself, not by others!" A little doll celebrates her birthday, and you also have that idea in your eyes? Those people are just looking for an excuse to get to the door of the Cheng'en Mansion! Are you really lifting up your family? ā€

The queen seemed to be so angry that she couldn't do it, and only after a while did she say angrily: "Don't really think that Cheng Engong treats you as his own!" Otherwise, Wen Jin's marriage would not go smoothly like this, and the eldest grandson was the same age as her, why didn't the Chengen Mansion even let go of a fart? ā€

"Pop" the sound of porcelain falling to the ground, "Get out!" Get out of here! You let me stay in Kunning Palace, don't think about going anywhere! The Queen Mother almost roared out these words, but her voice was very hoarse.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Concubine Xian pulled Xuanhui and turned around and left, leaving Cining Palace almost as if she was fleeing.

When she arrived at Chengqian Palace, she was still panting, stroking her chest and saying, "I don't want to do this kind of thing in the future, like a thief!" ā€

Xuanhui gradually had an idea in his heart.

After class in Chongwen Hall the next day, she found Pei Minzhong: "The queen wants her father to be a messenger and go to the northwest for disaster relief, but Chengengong has other plans. Yesterday, the queen quarreled with the eldest princess again, and I found out that the contradiction between the queen's family and the Cheng'en Mansion was so deep. Although the two families are facing each other, the queen's family has almost no chance of winning, but if the eldest princess is pulled in, the queen mother will inevitably be busy. Mess up their side, and we'll be able to do something about the selection of the Qincha. What do you think? ā€

Pei Minzhong squinted at Xuanhui and asked, "Why do you care so much about the disaster relief Qincha?" King An and I also think that Zhang Lujin is afraid that he is going to collect money for Chengengong, but these are things that should be worried about the elders, so don't worry. ā€

Xuanhui glared at him, and said angrily: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband!" What's more, I'm a princess! Is there any way you can make the queen's family and the eldest princess make a fuss? We're fishing in troubled waters. ā€

Pei Minzhong said with a smile: "You, these court events are not child's play. ā€

Xuanhui Zhengse said: "I didn't think these were child's play. Since you also think that Zhang Lujin is not good, then replace him. Besides, when I helped you solve the case, you still owe me a thing that I didn't do! ā€

Pei Minzhong smiled and nodded: "That's right!" ......," he pondered for a moment, and said, "Since the contradictions between the two sides are so deep...... I have some things about the eldest princess here, and the queen's father should be very interested in knowing. ā€

Xuanhui was interested and asked, "What are you going to do?" ā€

The corners of Pei Minzhong's mouth rose, and he smiled: "Just expose the news to them." You can't even ask me how to buy the imperial history, right? If that's the case, they might as well take advantage of the heart of fighting for power and profit, and serve Cheng'en Gong's saddle before and after the horse with peace of mind! ā€

Xuanhui saw that he had an idea, so he was much more down-to-earth, and then asked about the candidate to replace Zhang Lujin: "Yesterday, I heard in a trance that my father liked the left of the Inspectorate to be the imperial Shi Baiji, have you heard of this person?" ā€

Pei Minzhong frowned and said: "It seems that he is a person with a good reputation, and his family is poor and has never been corrupted, so it is not bad to go to disaster relief." It's just that he has a stubborn personality and doesn't know how to be flexible, so I'm afraid that it will be difficult to cooperate with those magistrates. But the current situation is that the government and the opposition all know that Cheng Engong is staring at this errand, and people who know the way will not take this hot potato. ā€

Xuan Hui asked sullenly, "How about that?" ā€

Pei Minzhong said with a smile: "Don't worry, let them mess up first, and then let's fish in troubled waters!" Isn't that what you taught me? ā€

Xuan Hui smiled and reached out and punched him. (To be continued.) )
