Pei Shouzhen's commotion in the imperial city also caused a lot of waves in Xingtai.

The resistance and hostility of the imperial court to Xingtai, everyone in Xingtai also had their own feelings, and they were quite concerned about the relationship between the imperial court and Xingtai. After all, they are not alone, and once Xingtai and the imperial court are completely broken and completely hostile, they will also have a profound impact on their respective families.

Pei Shouzhen, as an envoy sent by the imperial court, offended His Royal Highness King Yong in the imperial city and interrogated him in person, which naturally made the masses angry. His Royal Highness King Yong's achievements in Shaanxi, how can a subordinate sent by the imperial court at will be able to offend!

Therefore, when King Yong interrogated Pei Shouzhen in the household yatang, a large number of people also gathered outside the household department. On the one hand, they hope that King Yong can severely punish this madman to show the majesty of the stage. On the other hand, he was worried that King Yong's anger would really kill this fang, and the relationship with the court would be even worse.

The interrogation in the yatang, although the people on the stage could not see it face to face, King Yong did not order the hall to be closed, thinking that he did not mind the question and answer spread. Therefore, the development of the situation in the household department and the yatang, there are also officials who run out to report.

When King Yong undressed his robe and draped it over Pei Shouzhen and made that statement, naturally someone truthfully passed it on to the outside.

I heard that this was the case in the yatang, and the people who gathered in the periphery also had mixed feelings. Song Jing, who was also stationed outside, suddenly fell to the ground and shouted: "The ministers are fortunate to be from His Royal Highness, and their talents are fully used to prosper Shaanxi!" There are no regrets in this life, and evil feelings are difficult! ”

"Fortunately, Your Highness, I have no regrets in this life!"

Before Song Jing's words fell, all the members of the stage gathered outside the Hu Ministry official hall also worshiped and chanted, and the voice not only spread into the yatang, but also spread outward in the imperial city.

Many officials who had just returned to work in the imperial city did not know what had happened in the imperial city just now, and when they heard the shouts one after another, they were a little unclear for a while, and they thought it was a special team building activity that Xingtai was holding today. In such a thing, who is willing to lag behind, so they all raised their arms one by one and shouted: "Fortunately, Your Highness, I have no regrets in this life!" ”

In just a quarter of an hour, the sound waves were transmitted, and such shouts echoed everywhere in the huge imperial city.

In the yatang of the household department, Pei Shouzhen was willing to die, but he had to descend the robe of King Yong's palace, and he was already frightened and grateful.

He staggered and retreated, and bowed to King Yong's feet again: "His Royal Highness uses grace to govern the people, governs the people with benevolence, and defeats the enemy with prestige. Bow down and bow again, not for begging, despicable people, dare not represent the common people, only this body, this heart, surrender to the king! ”

Li Tong did have some other thoughts brewing in his heart about Pei Shouzhen, but he didn't expect him to be so dramatic and cooperate so skillfully throughout the stage.

So he didn't pay attention to Pei Shouzhen in front of him, but frowned and said to Li Yuanyuan: "The plan of the day lies in the morning, is it possible that all the members have nothing to do on their desks, and make such idle noises in the morning light?" Quickly return to their roots, with one heart, and pay for things, meaninglessly declare it, waste time! ”

Although His Royal Highness reprimanded, the joy between his eyebrows and eyes was faint, so Li Yuan also smiled and said: "The group of officials is pure-minded and overflowing. ”

Saying this, Li Yuan also walked out of the yatang, laughing and retreating from the officials surrounding the household department.

Although the shouting stopped here, in the farther area of the imperial city, there were still slogans coming one after another, Li Yuan listened attentively to these shouts, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and his face showed a faint sense of pride. It is also a blessing for him to be able to occupy a place in such a united and progressive group.

In the yatang, Li Tong lowered his eyes and looked at Pei Shouzhen again, and his tone became softened: "Pei Cheng, please excuse me, the so-called killing was just a moment of anger." You can be diligent in the emperor's order, not afraid of power, and although you act in the form of acting in the form of Taiwan orders, you are not a member of the Taiwan Dynasty, so there is no need to judge by the execution of Taiwan regulations. As for the matter of your complaint, I will give you an explanation today, and I will go to another hall with me to discuss it. ”

"The platform is difficult and useful, and the humble position has been seen. The imperial court added this envoy, which was indeed a failure to be thorough. Although the mission of the humble duty is to urge payment, it is also the responsibility of the inspection, knowing that there is a mistake in the use of life, and he does not dare to cling to the old life. Only record all the events in this situation, play them in the court, and then wait for the court to change the judgment, so as to achieve both internal and external results. ”

Pei Shouzhen no longer has the urging spirit of righteous words before, but said in a sincere tone.

Li Tong laughed when he heard this: "Could it be that Pei Cheng thinks that the knife and pen of Xingtai are idle, and he is just silent here?" Shaanxi Dao feelings, the court knows only more than you, the reason why it is still entangled according to this, the reason, Fei Er Cao can ask. ”

Hearing King Yong say this, Pei Shouzhen also kept his mouth shut, and of course he felt the subtle atmosphere between the stage and the court. The inner Qu Yin has far exceeded the scope of what a mere Taifu Cheng can interfere with.

But Pei Shouzhen still couldn't help but say: "The difficulties experienced by Xingtai, or the military aircraft involved, cannot be announced to the public." However, if the fur involved can be selectively disclosed, I hope to solve the problem of material discussion. ”

Li Tong smiled slightly after hearing this, which was regarded as a response to Pei Shouzhen's kind release.

Because he knew that King Yong was going to personally solve the matter of the imperial court's urging to pay the autumn tax, all the officials related to Xingtai gathered in the provincial government hall under the door, and the envoys from the Shendu, including Li Qianli, the shopkeeper who shook his hand, were also invited into the Xingtai.

Li Qianli was shocked to hear that Pei Shouzhen was noisy in the platform, and he was already panicked, lest His Royal Highness King Yong be angry with him because of this. After logging into the political affairs hall, he reprimanded Pei Shouzhen for his own head and face.

In the internal disputes of the imperial court, Li Tong naturally didn't bother to ask about it, but just ordered the officials of Xingtai to inspect and calculate the money and grain matters in Taiwan.

In fact, this can't calculate any results, the line is already very expensive, any money and grain in and out is a radish and a pit, last autumn has already been spent, and this year is far from the time to collect. As for Xingtai's progress in other aspects, there is naturally no reason to confuse it with this matter.

Therefore, the final result of this accounting is that there is not enough money and grain in the treasury of Xingtai to make up for last autumn's tax, but there is still a huge deficit itself.

Originally, those envoys of the imperial court, including Li Qianli, saw that Xingtai finally faced this matter, and they had some expectations in their hearts, after all, if the task was not completed, they would also be held accountable when they returned to the gods.

But in the face of such a result, they were naturally disappointed, since they went west, they saw that the politics of Shaanxi Prefectures were in good order, but they did not expect that the treasury of Xingtai was already in high deficits.

Some people naturally didn't want to believe it, and raised their hands to ask, "Is there a mistake in the accounting book?" ”

Naturally, this was very rude, and all the people on the stage were angry when they heard it. But without waiting for these people to speak, Pei Shouzhen, who was a member of the envoy, had already taken the first step and said: "The profit and loss of the Xingtai Mansion Treasury is the truth. In the morning, I dared to offend, and His Royal Highness King Yongwang not only did not think it was a crime, but handed over the confidential accounting book of Xingtai to be read. Because of what I have seen, I can be sure of it. ”

Unlike Li Qianli, the shopkeeper, Pei Shouzhen is still quite authoritative among the people, if it weren't for his risky fight, they wouldn't even get such an opportunity to negotiate related issues with Xingtai face-to-face.

At this time, hearing Pei Shouzhen say the same, everyone didn't dare to question it casually.

Li Tong saw that these envoys from the imperial court had different expressions, and sneered in his heart. There are always more ways than difficulties, since the tricks are disgusting, then cry poor.

I originally wanted to get along with you as a rich man, but in exchange for suspicion, jealousy, relentless pursuit, and pressing step by step, I must clean up the bottom of the line. Forget it, don't pretend, the showdown, the line is poor, Yin eats grain, waits for rice to cook!

This is the case, the reason why the previous Xingtai was secretive was to sing about the empty city plan to deter Hu Yi. Now that the bottoms of the platform have been opened by you, the surrounding Zhuhu has also learned the fact that they are strong outside the platform, and then if they lead troops to knock on the pass, who will carry this pot, you can discuss it yourself!

The courtiers present had not thought so far-reaching, and were still a little unwilling, so some people knelt deep in the court and pleaded: "Your Royal Highness is majestic in Shaanxi, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, so please be sympathetic to the lowly and lowly ranks. If you return to the capital empty, it will be difficult to recover your life......"

Hearing this, without waiting for Li Tong to speak, Yao Yuanchong had already taken the lead and couldn't help but say: "It's not easy for Er Cao to go, is it that all the people on the stage are idle?" The treasury is empty, and everything is not prosperous, only His Royal Highness can deter the inside and outside. Now that the truth is revealed, who can be sure that it will still be fully revealed? If all sides are not appeased because of this, don't say what they accumulated last year, even if they enter this autumn, it may not be enough to use them all! ”

Li Tong praised Yao Yuanchong in his heart, but he still sighed: "No matter how much the platform is used to make it short, don't force Er Cao to go." Tribute and requisition, all the land in the country, the emperor's order is bound, and it is incumbent. Only Shaanxi Road is difficult to use, and there is no time to delay in the matter, and there is no expediency to follow. Consul Er Cao entered Beijing, especially Taifu Cheng Pei Shouzhen was loyal and diligent, rewarding loyalty, courage and diligence, and I should not let you wait for the empty car to return to the capital, and be wrongly accused of not being able to do anything. ”

"Your Highness, the Xingtai branch is already in danger......

Hearing His Royal Highness King Yong say this, all the people in the hall and the stage hurriedly advised, but Li Tong raised his hand to stop.

"There is no expediency in public funds and military affairs, but I was born into a close family, and I have a little savings in private courts. Since the emperor's appointment as an envoy, the traces have drifted away, things have been neglected, the husband and wife have brief affairs, there is no interest to be supported in the court, there is no cost of living, and there is no need to hoard.

It is a pity that the private interests of a family are difficult to make up for the country's use, because it is not easy for the masses to work hard, and if they are deposed for this, it is a pity. It is not a private grace, I live in Shaanxi, trapped in the border situation, and I do not meet the way of recuperation, so that the treasury is empty, and the lack of work is not enough to make up for it, and I should also be held responsible! ”

Li Tong's words were full of emotion.

Fourth uncle, you are not a human being, Lao Tzu is running around for the Tang family, and even his personality life is not harmonious, you still have to deal with me, and you have to force me to bankrupt your family before you are satisfied? You won, in order to avoid implicating the innocent, I would rather be blackmailed by you, and ask you if the money is hot!
