Chapter 80: The Ghost Fetus
Originally, it was normal for Qin to come to a place, and it was normal for a magistrate to come to visit, but at this time, this Xiazhou assassin came to visit, and he had a bit of a taste of exploring the truth and reality.
If we want to know the situation in Jiangnan completely, first, we must stabilize the people, and we must release grain to solve the problem of soaring grain prices and the hungry people's food, and second, we will have to check the current accounts of these yamen to find out.
There is a problem with the local yamen in Jiangnan, which is an obvious thing.
In the past few days, the problems on the embankment have been almost touched, and it is time for him to check the current accounts on these two sides.
Unsurprisingly, there will be more and more temptations like this.
Recently, his Qin errand has been traveling, but I'm afraid it will be very lively!
"Master, if someone else comes to visit, what should the villain say?"
"There's been a lot of visitors lately, but I'm afraid you don't have to act anymore." Xu Fang already has plans for the next step.
He no longer plans to continue to go to the embankment, since he wants to check the accounts, then check it openly, even if the other party takes action, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the capital.
That's enough.
"Lord-sama has started to check the accounts?" Xu Fang's action was tantamount to a sudden attack, which caught everyone off guard.
They never thought that it was Lord Qincha, who had been silent for several days and had been silent, so it turned out that he was holding back such a big move!
"Why did Lord Qincha suddenly check the accounts, he shouldn't know what was on the accounts?"
Yes, I thought I was going through the motions again, but I didn't expect to think of this problem in the past few days, I really underestimated him! ”
"It seems that our Lord Yushi is iron-hearted, and he is not ready to let us live a good life, our Lord Qincha has already thundered the war drums, so we can only wait and see, there is no other way out.
"But will this Lord Chin Cha really find out?"
Will it really get that far?
Some people are panicked about this, and some people question it, Jiangnan officialdom has been like this for so many years, and no one has always come to rectify it, but now that this person is here, does it really have the ability to turn the sky upside down?
"Say that you are a stupid person, you still don't believe it, the reason why the third prince did not move is because he has no foundation, and it is also for the sake of the future, what is so terrible about him, not to mention, don't you know what to do in supervising the imperial history? His Majesty sent him here at this time, apparently for him to lift the lid. ”
Can such a person not be terrible?
"My lord, how are we going to deal with it now?"
"At this point, either we can drag this Lord Qincha into the water together, or, we can only..."
Some fixed small groups, once broken, are all or nothing.
On the other hand, Xu Fang used his old age to get all the current accounts of all the large and small yamen related to water conservancy in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.
It was only at this time that the officials of Jiangnan understood that this Lord Qincha was real.
Xu Fang's speed of checking accounts is progressing very quickly, he was originally a messenger who came by holy order, although there are still some people in the local area who want to deliberately conceal it, but Xu Fang has been the imperial history for so many years, and what he is best at is to find problems from a bunch of things.
As a result, Xu Fang's investigation soon progressed.
Some people who know that something is wrong have appeared one by one.
"Lord Xu." On this day, Xu Fang was on his way, and his family member Xu Quan came to report: "My lord, there are five adults outside who say they want to see you. ”
"Five?" Xu Fang put down the official document in his hand and said, "It's a little interesting, it's okay, please wait in the West Flower Hall, and I'll be there later." ”
"Yes, the villain will go and pass the word."
Xu Quan said, and went down, Xu Fang thought about it carefully, these five people must have something to do, I'm afraid this matter is not small, so he dressed up and went to the flower hall.
"Chincha-sama."
"I don't know how many adults have visited, what do you think?"
At the same time, the capital
When Xu let go of these troubled officials in Jiangnan or who were thieves, Murong Yixuan finally returned to the capital.
The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to meet the emperor and report what he had seen and heard at the border.
"This trip, Yixuan, you have worked hard."
"Your Majesty, the ministers do what they are told, and they don't feel that it is too hard."
"Tell me, what's going on at the border? For so long, I have received nothing precise or crucial in your letters. ”
Murong Yixuan did not mention it in his recent transmission, mainly for the sake of safety, after all, he was targeted by several other forces along the way, and everything was remembered in his mind.
"There are some problems with the garrison on the border, but at the same time, the minister found that the small groups of enemy troops that had skirmishes with our army showed no signs of retreating, and the minister personally experienced it twice during his time at the border."
This frequency is a bit worrying, and it is a great shame that the garrisons on the border are unable to deter enemies outside their borders, or even defend their own territory.
"It seems that they have not beaten their bones for a long time, and if there is a next time they should let the troops stationed at the border attack, it is better to control the situation."
At this point, the emperor also saw very clearly that the Central Plains, as a great power, had always been there, but they could not go out to fight, or even make an effective counterattack against the crisis, and their deterrent power would be greatly reduced.
"In addition, the soldiers on the border have experienced the suffering of enemy riots for a long time, but they cannot send troops to defend, and there is also the problem of post stations."
Murong Yixuan still didn't tell him anything about the situation of the border soldiers, and if he said that these would be quite complaining, it would really arouse the emperor's suspicions, so it would be better not to say it.
"Inn?" The emperor was somewhat surprised.
"Exactly."
"Is there anything wrong with the station?"
"I found that the transmission route of the post station is not very smooth, and the generals of the capital protection and the border defenders have made more than a dozen excerpts to Your Majesty, but the minister was authorized by His Majesty to check all the twists and turns about the border situation during that time, but he did not find it, among the more than a dozen excerpts, the minister only saw two of them, I don't know what the problem is?"
When the emperor heard this, he snorted coldly and said: You haven't seen me, you haven't seen me, it seems that I have to ask someone to go to the cabinet to get those folds back. "The emperor's face was condensed, and it was a daily practice for the cabinet to leave the excerpts in China, but the border was also left in the middle like this, which was simply a delay in the military plane!
"It's just a scholar who misunderstands the country!"
The inner eunuch waiting outside didn't know what was going on inside, but he only heard the sound of ping-pong, and his heart rose to his throat, and he didn't know why the regent had angered His Majesty, which caused Long Yan to be furious.
"Your Majesty is angry, the ministers have not been to the front line in the capital for a long time, and they don't know much about the situation on the border front, so it is understandable that they will leave their folds in the middle."
Murong Yixuan sighed a little in his heart, these cabinet courtiers rarely had the opportunity to go to the front line of the border, so naturally they didn't know what the situation was on the front line.
