Su Xizhu looked at the things sent by Zhongli Mansion and her grandmother, her eyes narrowed, and her small treasury was full again. After packing up her things, Su Xizhu thought of someone again, her eldest brother-in-law Han Zhan, I don't know what she came back for?

Han Zhan, who secretly entered the palace, was facing the saint at this time, looking at the emperor who was barely his brother-in-law, Han Zhan's attitude was respectful, but he was not flattering.

"Brother Zhan is back, you must go to see your sister when you come back this time, she is talking about you every day, afraid that you will be wronged outside. Even I miss you. ”

Although Emperor Sheng He's words were tentative, he didn't lie, relatively among the few people who could barely be regarded as brothers-in-law, Emperor Sheng He's favorite was the Korean War.

As the first son of Sheng Jing, Han Zhan's appearance and talent are beyond doubt, but what satisfies Emperor Sheng He more is that Han Zhan is knowledgeable and loyal.

Han Zhan, as the prince of the Dingguo Mansion, was the champion of the three yuan and the first at that time, and his future was naturally open, but since he knew that he intended to send someone to deal with some problems, he took the initiative to ask for his life, not afraid of danger, and he could get the news so quickly, it can be seen that he was attentive, and Concubine Shu was considerate, so Emperor Sheng He had a good sense of the two sisters and brothers of the Dingguo Mansion.

"Thank you to the saint and Niangniang, but the mother is deeply favored in the palace, the minister and the father are grateful to the saint Longen, not worried about the mother at all, this time the time is urgent and need to rush back, next time I come back, the minister is asking for the order to enter the palace to visit the mother."

Han Zhan knew that although Emperor Sheng He trusted him, the emperor was suspicious, and he would not delay people to test him anytime and anywhere, so he returned without leaking.

"Haha, you, you can talk better than your sister." Emperor Sheng He was very happy, looking at the young man in front of him who was less than the age of the weak crown, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, it was a pity, this was not his own child, Emperor Sheng He looked at Han Zhan, maybe he could teach the prince in the future.

"Words from the bottom of my heart." Han Zhan bowed.

"Okay, let's talk about this, tell me what you've found." Emperor Sheng He put away his smiling face, the place where the Han War was released was called Jue County, which was originally a slightly larger border bordering the Xidi people, nothing special, and the people there were fierce and the production was not much, so although Emperor Sheng He sent a lot of garrisons there, he didn't pay much attention to it.

A few years ago, Emperor Sheng and Emperor faintly got a return, saying that there is an iron mine in Jue County, which supplies some iron tools every year, although the output is a lot, but there are many such iron ores in the Jin Kingdom, and it is not enough to make Emperor Sheng He worry.

Who knows that the iron ore mining in Jue County has not been many years, and the county order of Jue County at the beginning has frequent accidents, but the later county order has been reluctant to move the place, although Jue County is not barren, but it is definitely not rich, so this phenomenon has attracted the attention of the officials.

Who knows that when the person sent to investigate came back, there was an accident, only faintly brought back what Xidi, and the traitor died, which was a taboo for Emperor Shenghe, and later Emperor Shenghe had the idea of sending someone to serve as the county order, but in addition to the current county order, Jue County has died a lot of county orders, and people with a discerning eye know that there is a problem there.

Powerful people have relationships, they don't want to go, and those who don't have the strength to go are to fill people's lives, even if they are Emperor Sheng He, it is impossible to force people to go, especially those who still expect to go can give him a satisfactory answer, just when Emperor Sheng and Emperor were on fire, Han Zhan, the prince of Dingguo, who had only been in the government for a few years, stood up and took the initiative to ask for his life, and Emperor Shenghe's first reaction was tempting, but he soon began to hesitate again.

Although Han Zhan is famous, it is indeed worthy of the name, he is young and young, but he is too young, the water in Jue County is very deep, especially Han Zhan is still the son of the Dingguo Mansion, the Dingguo Mansion is not a lonely family, people are saints, and they have to hold it, if the prince is folded there, Emperor Sheng and Emperor can't say it.

Who knew that the father and son of Dingguo had indicated that they wanted to eat the king's Lu and bear the king's worries, and Emperor Sheng He was moved by their loyalty, so he also sent a lot of people to protect Han Zhan, but he didn't expect Han Zhan to get specific news within a few years and there was evidence, so he couldn't help but surprise Emperor Sheng He.

Originally, Emperor Sheng He thought about sealing Concubine Shu as the imperial concubine when he took the initiative to fight in the Korean War, but he was rejected by the father and son of Dingguo Gong and Concubine Shugui, looking at the family of Dingguo Mansion, Emperor Sheng He became more and more satisfied, and felt that having such a loyal subordinate showed that he was really a wise man.

"Back to the saint, the minister just arrived at the county government when things were not going well, although the last county order was transferred, but the county government to the master down to the government are very repulsive to the ministers, originally looking at the life of the people of the county, the minister thought that the county order was dedicated to the people, improve the people's livelihood, so everyone rejected the minister."

Although Han Zhan is wonderful, he is young in the end, and he was indeed a little unable to stretch his hands and feet when he first arrived in Jue County, but fortunately, he quickly discovered the flaw.

"The minister found that although the people's livelihood in Jue County has improved over the years, many small families and small groups have emerged, especially most of these people have relatives in the army or county government positions."

Emperor Sheng and Emperor listened to Han Zhan's words and his face was slightly cold, one person can indeed prosper a family, but in the same place, there are many of the same people is the problem, sure enough, Han Zhan's next words made Emperor Sheng He very angry.

"The minister secretly investigated and found that those families were very rich, especially many of the families who were not rich in the first place, so their sources of money were very problematic.

During the visit, the minister found that the land in the county was barren and the products were not abundant, and although Shangdao had made a lot of improvements with the support of the previous county magistrate, it was not enough to provide so much property.

So the minister turned his attention to the mine, because it was under the jurisdiction of the garrison, although the minister did not want to doubt the commander of the garrison, but there was really no clue, so he could only make a desperate bet, but in the end he was afraid of startling the snake, so he sent someone to guard the iron ore on the road to transport.

After a few months, the minister found that the mine could extract about 100 kilograms of iron ore every day, and there were also 3,600 kilograms of iron ore in a year, and in addition to the army's consumption, at least more than 2,000 kilograms of iron ore should be handed over every year.

It's just that the minister looked through the records of the previous county order and found that the annual tribute was only 1,000 kilograms, so where did the remaining iron ore go? ”

Emperor Sheng He's face was dark, and the commander of the garrison in Jue County was Li Ming, Concubine An's cousin, and he was a person that Emperor Sheng He trusted more, so what did he want to do, or what did the An family want to do?

"The minister was afraid that he had wronged Commander Li, so he didn't report it, and planned to investigate it clearly, until the minister found out that there were Xidi people faintly haunting Jue County, and he got a lot of convenience, so the minister also wondered if there was any deal with the Xidi people and the people of Jue County?"

Han Zhan didn't say it explicitly, he suspected that the garrison and the county order were privately trading iron ore with the Xidi people, Emperor Sheng He didn't know if it was okay, he didn't say anything and just listened quietly, but his brows were furrowed.

Han Zhan did not continue this topic, but moved imperceptibly, and sure enough, after a while, Emperor Sheng He saw the blood stains on the hem of Han Zhan's clothes.

"You're hurt?" Emperor Sheng He's face was gloomy, although it is very likely that Han Zhan's words are true now, but he can't rule out some careful thoughts, after all, he has already entered the palace, is it possible that he hasn't had time to change his clothes yet?

Li Ming is Concubine An's cousin, and it is normal for Han Zhan to probably want to take this opportunity to pull Concubine An off the horse, after all, his sister is Concubine Shu.

Even if Emperor Sheng and Emperor Sheng trusted Han Zhan, the emperor was suspicious, so the suspicion would still be suspicious. The Korean War seemed a little embarrassed and a little uneasy.

"This blood is not the minister's, it is the minister's ambush in the woods outside the city, the enemy's blood, but it has been far away from the palace, and there are only personal servants left around the minister, so he went directly to the palace for safety."

Emperor Sheng He's eyes shrank, "Brother Zhan was ambushed in the woods outside the city?" ”

"Yes, but there aren't many people on the other side, but they are good." Han Zhan didn't seem to see Gonggong Xu next to the emperor go out, and his expression remained unchanged.

Soon Gonggong Xu came back, nodded at Emperor Sheng He, Emperor Sheng and Emperor suddenly squeezed his hand, near Shengjing, Han Zhan encountered an ambush, and the people who were suspected were only a few people.

Emperor Sheng He could guess that the Korean War was not smooth, but they actually dared to make a move against the Korean War in the Shengjing realm, so how arrogant was it?

At this time, Emperor Sheng He no longer thought that Han Zhan was taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents for Concubine Shugui, but felt that the An family and the prime minister were too much.

Han Zhan looked at Emperor Sheng He's face, a little hesitant, Emperor Sheng He stabilized his mind, "Go on, what else, I listen." Anyone could hear his fury in Emperor Shenghe's low voice.

"Although the minister has doubts about the amount of iron ore, and there are Xidi people, but in the end I don't want to think about the Li garrison in a bad way, Jue County is adjacent to Xidi, there are occasional wars, and weapons are consumed quickly, when the generals want their soldiers to have a good weapon to go into battle to kill the enemy, and the heart of protecting the family and defending the country is understood, so I wonder if the Li garrison privately armed the border garrison."

Although Han Zhan said so, Emperor Sheng He had another idea, could it be that Chen Ming had a private army in private, so it was like this, so what did Chen Ming want a private army to do? Rebellion?

"It's just that later the minister found out that the weapons of the Jue County garrison have not been updated for a long time, and many of the weapons are unusable, and the minister is terrified." As soon as Han Zhan's words fell, Emperor Sheng He threw the inkstone on the table to the ground, and Han Zhan and Gonggong Xu knelt down together to plead guilty.

"Okay, not only did he collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, but he also traded iron weapons with the Sidi people, but he even dared to think about the rationing of weapons for the garrison? If there is a war with the Sidi, will the border still be kept? ”

Emperor Sheng He gasped, he could allow some people to be greedy for some money, after all, if the water is clear, there are no fish, and he still needs to keep them to balance the court, just collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and it is absolutely unbearable to endanger his imperial power.

"Han Zhan, you handed in the evidence, went to the military department, and then went back to Jue County, took down all the relevant people, I officially appointed you as the commander of the Jue County garrison and concurrently served as the county commander of Jue County, you will arrest the military and political affairs together, and you must clean up Jue County."

Han Zhan's eyes flashed and the streamer flashed, he bowed down, and when he walked out of the conference hall, Han Zhan's back, which had been tense, relaxed slightly, and all his goals were achieved.
