Chapter 197: Find the Steps
In the main hall, all the ministers were silent.
Emperor Yanguang felt that his nose was a little sour - his grievances were still understood by him after all.
In this world, since he took the throne, the situation has been very bad.
The Jiannu outside the gate are eyeing the tiger, and the rogues inside the gate are raging, and it is indeed too dangerous to stay in this Beijing city by yourself!
It is of course very good to be able to withdraw to Jiangnan, where the situation is more relaxed.
I just can't open this mouth myself.
Not only did the Manchu Dynasty refuse to let the civil and military, but how can people bear the charge of 'greedy for life and fear of death, and discarding half of the country' in the history of the Qing Dynasty?
Neither is it advancing or retreating. In case the capital is in danger in the future, he really needs a loyal minister to prepare secretly, and then "tie" himself to Nanjing.
At that time, he was "forced" to retreat to Nanjing.
And that loyal minister will have to bear all the charges and die for himself when the time comes......
After Tongguan was breached, Lu Zhengchu once said inexplicable words such as "Han Gaozu was also trapped in Hanzhong, and Han Xin secretly crossed Chen Cang".
At this time, I think about it, and that's what it means.
When Xiang Yu is strong, Liu Bang can retreat into Hanzhong and temporarily avoid the edge, so why can't he tour south? As long as one day, if you can recover the Central Plains, you will have a chance to become the master of Zhongxing.
Although Lu Zhengchu did not say it explicitly, he was willing to secretly cross Chen Cang for himself.
Compared with the money carrier who can only talk about it, this is the loyal minister who is dedicated to his own plan.
In order for me to make a smooth southern tour, how hard did he and Bai Yizhang work hard to get food out of that poor household little by little?
If the erosive Beijing camp wants to be reorganized, is it easy to pull out a capable soldier to escort him to Nanzhili safely?
Now that the East Window incident happened, they didn't even say a word of justification, so they silently took the matter down!
What these so-called 'corrupt officials' have on their shoulders is the net worth and life of their own king!
In the case of monarchs and ministers, only Lu Zhengchu can understand that all the officials are misconnected......
ββWith mixed feelings in his heart, Emperor Yanguang looked at Lu Zhengchu and couldn't help but blush again.
"Minister, beggar bones."
Lu Zhengchu kowtowed again and pleaded.
Emperor Yanguang didn't allow it, but he couldn't find a reason for a while, so he groaned.
I don't live up to me, and I don't live up to me!
But if you say it bluntly, the ministers will definitely oppose the southern tour now, and they will also live up to Lu Zhengchu's hard work.
I needed a reason to exonerate him.
β¦β¦
There was silence in the hall.
Some people don't know why, and some people don't dare to speak out.
The money carrier naturally saw it clearly, and his heart was anxious and angry.
"Cheng also patrols south, and defeats also tours south."
The southern tour is the knot in His Majesty's heart these days.
You can mention yourself as a traitor, but how can you mention Lu Zhengchu? Not only did you mention it, but you even managed it?!
You don't keep the Central Plains and the great rivers and mountains, but you come to compare with me, a traitor?
You sanctimonious hypocrite!
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Qian Chengyun couldn't help but grit his teeth hard.
β¦β¦
After the imperial case, Emperor Yanguang pretended to be contemplative.
He had no choice but to casually look at the incriminating evidence collected by Wen Rongxin.
"Huh?"
After a while, Emperor Yanguang suddenly saw a confession.
This confession is used to prove that Wang Xiao and Qin Xuance committed many illegal things together, saying that they fought with people on the street, and finally took each other away and beat them to death.
There is also a description of the deceased's physiognomy - thick eyebrows, broad cheeks, and moles on the lips.
Emperor Yanguang squinted his eyes slightly, and suddenly felt a slight numbness on his cheeks.
Man Yin Street.
"You old groce!"
In retrospect, this is clearly a kick on the cheek.
This splash skin was ordered by me to be taken to death by Wang Fang!
Oh, that's how Dali Temple handles cases......
But how to exonerate Lu Zhengchu? - Emperor Yanguang still can't figure it out.
Suddenly.
A clear voice sounded in the main hall, and there was a little doubt in his tone.
"The laws of our Chu Dynasty don't allow officials to do business?"
Wang Xiao asked a lot of big people in a row, but they all just squinted at him and didn't answer.
In the end, Luo Yuan replied with a stinky face: "Naturally, it is not allowed, how can an official compete with the people for profit!" β
"Oh."
Wang Xiao suddenly realized.
He actually slipped back and criticized Bai Yizhang: "Then Lord Bai, you have indeed broken the law, how can you invest in my business?" β
Bai Yizhang raised his head and glanced at Wang Xiao with some blankness.
Wang Xiao pointed at Bai Yizhang and said, "How can an official compete with the people for profit?!" β
Two sentences that are exactly the same, but the taste is completely different.
The meaning is: Bai Yizhang and Wang Xiao are doing business in partnership?
Wen Rongxin sneered and said, "Enough, don't want to confuse the public, you collude with corruption, how can you be fooled with a sentence of 'doing business'?" β
"But that's just the way it is." Wang Xiao said as a matter of course: "You also said that there are so many accounts between us. Also, the grain in the warehouse on Youfang Street is not for business, is it not grown by us on the afternoon of hoeing lotus day? β
Wen Rongxin said: "The 40,000 stone grain is clearly Bai Yizhang's greed for ink over the years. β
"Lord Wen, right, what you said is very strange, Lord Bai is greedy? Also 40,000 stones? Wang smiled and said, "If you are so greedy, you are greedy to show me?" Also, when did I say that there are 40,000 stones? β
Wen Rongxin didn't bother to mess with him, and said coldly: "The 40,000 stones in the warehouse on Youfang Street were ordered by me personally in the morning, and the evidence is conclusive. β
"Have you taken it all open and looked at the sacks that were pressed underneath?" Wang smiled, with a smile on his face.
"Time is in a hurry, naturally there is no ......"
"Then how does Lord Wen know that it's all food?"
Wen Rongxin's face changed.
-------------------------------------
The suburbs of Beijing, Mentougou.
"Thank you Mr. Geng Qian this time."
"Mr. Fu is polite, with the friendship between my family and Wang Gongzi, this little thing is not enough to worry about." Geng Zhengbai said, arched his hand to Lord Fu Qing, turned over and rode away.
Fu Qing watched Geng Zhengbai walk away, and then turned his head to look at the pile of grain in the makeshift warehouse.
The grain was stolen from the Yau Mill Street warehouse last night, no, it was brought back.
Wang Xiao said that these were the materials he was in charge of. If you take the materials in your own management, you can only call it 'secondment' at best.
Wang Xiao passed by Mentougou yesterday evening, and was a little frightened because he bumped into a plague person on the road, and his mouth was full of words such as "blockade and isolation". At last, he made up his mind and said, "You want food, don't you?" I have it, take someone to move! β
So Fu Qingzhu sent hundreds of people into Beijing overnight to move grain, and did not forget to take a sack of sand and put it back in the warehouse.
Such a thing would not have been possible without the cover of the patrol camp.
What people didn't expect was that Geng Zhengbai of the patrol camp was able to help, and what did he say, "Zhang Dusi said that he will respond to Wang Gongzi's requests" and so on.
At this time, it was arranged for the people to guard the grain, and Fu Qing's heart finally settled.
In short, the small owner who only knows how to invest has finally made some returns this time.
With these 38,000 stone of grain, many refugees will be able to survive this winter......
In addition, although Wang Xiao didn't say it, Master Fu Qing also knew that this was the grain that Lu Zhengchu had hidden.
This old man, who has always done things 'focusing on the overall situation', has rarely made people pit this time.
It's interesting to say, Bai Yizhang is greedy for the silver grain of the household department, and the small proprietor is greedy for the silver grain of the Kun Party, but they all say that it is for the sake of Li Min Sheji......
"There are too few people in the world who are still upright." He sighed in his heart.
Thinking like this, Master Fu Qing passed by the shelter, but saw Geng Dang and Zhuang Xiaoyun squatting on the ground again, as if they were playing with ants.
"You two. It's such a big person, can you be more steady? β
Geng Dang and Zhuang Xiaoyun stood up and scratched their heads.
"Mr. Fu, what do you look like?" Geng Dang looked a little puzzled.
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and spread it out.
Lord Fu Qing narrowed his eyes.
Geng Dang's hand was just a small worm.
"Haven't I been working on a fire cellar lately? There are a lot of such little insects around, and Xiaoyun's chickens come to peck at my vegetables every day......"
Geng Dang was still chattering, but Fu Qingzhu reached out and pinched the little insect from his hand, and actually put it in his mouth and chewed it.
"It's locusts."
Geng Dang was stunned.
Zhuang Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows.
"But." Geng Dang opened his mouth in disbelief, "But, it's all over the place...... How many locusts will there be in the coming year? β
Lord Fu Qing sighed: "How many? A locust can lay 100 eggs at a time and reproduce for five generations in a year. If it's cold, the eggs can stay underground for years......"
"One can give birth to 500 in a year?" Geng Dang was taken aback, "But the last time the locust plague crossed, the whole sky was dark, so there will be no more locust plague next year?" β
"Every locust plague is like this, and when spring begins, the mountains and fields are full of small locusts." Fu Qing said, "This is not something that human beings can ......."
"People can't catch them, chickens can." Zhuang Xiaoyun suddenly shouted: "Our chickens are on a large scale!" β
He was a little excited, ran a few steps abruptly, took a deep breath of the air with the smell of, and said quite firmly:
"We can, raise chickens to cure locusts......"
