Next, when the ministers saw that the matter had been completed, they retired to the emperor together. The emperor also had some worries at this time, so he didn't leave them to wave his hand and let them retreat

So Jia Ke and the others withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall and returned to the military aircraft.

After returning to the military aircraft office, Jia Ke held the holy decree in his hand and said to the others: "Ladies and gentlemen, now the emperor's holy decree has been issued. This is a matter for the household, so let's send the holy decree directly to the household ministry and let them deal with it themselves. Wait until the fifth day of June, if they don't have food yet, we will make a calculation. What do you think? ”

The other people naturally had no opinions, everyone had a lot of things to do, how could they be in the mood to take care of him.

Liu Yu stood up and said to Jia Ke: "What Lord Jia said is exact, I want the Hubu Shangshu to do this, I still have some friendship with the Hubu Shangshu, I don't know if Lord Jia can be accommodating, and the holy decree will be sent to the Hubu by me personally." ”

Jia Ke naturally knew that Liu Yu and Liu Wan, the head of the household, had a good relationship. And the two of them are the emperor's right-hand men.

Liu Yu probably went there once to remind Liu Wan not to take it lightly and handle the errand carefully. Jia Ke has no scruples about this, if Liu Wan can really listen to Liu Yu's words, then he can transport the grain to the capital as soon as possible, and there will be many fewer deaths in Shaanxi in the future. There was no need for him to stand in the way.

"Since Lord Liu is willing to go tirelessly, then I will be lazy." After Jia Ke finished speaking, he held the holy decree high above his head and sent it towards Liu Yu.

Liu Yu also respectfully bowed his head to accept the holy decree, and then said to Jia Ke and waited: "Everyone, it's not too early, I'll go to the household department now." ”

Jia Ke and the others all said: "Although it doesn't hurt Lord Liu to go, we will go down to the government after a while." ”

So Liu Yu hurriedly left the military aircraft department.

Jia Ke saw him leaving, turned around and said to Tian Ye, the imperial historian of the left capital: "This matter still needs to be followed up by Lord Tian, I am afraid that these people are not honest and will make some trouble in the end." ”

Tian Ye nodded after listening to the lecture, this time it is a big thing to do, it is for the lives of tens of millions of people in Shaanxi, and Jia Ke can no longer be embarrassed because of the difference between personal factions.

"Don't worry, Lord Jia, this time I will definitely pay attention to the movement of the grain storage road, but if they have any trouble, I will take them first, and then hand them over to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department."

Jia Ke thought for a while, and then said, "I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to hand it over to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department. Since these people dare to do such a big thing, there must be something to do with it, in case they buy off those jailers and the gatekeepers come to kill people, and in the end, our clues will be broken. ”

Tian Ye was also shocked after listening to Jia Ke's words, and sure enough, just like Jia Ke said, if he was really killed and killed, he could only end up in the end.

"Then according to what Master Jia said, what should we do?"

"Between me, don't use the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, if they have any trouble, you can report it to me directly, and we won't move them, just send the news to the emperor and see what to do with it."

Tian Ye thought about it for a while, I am afraid that Jia Ke is also afraid of the mastermind behind this group of people, this time the big fish behind the scenes is not something that anyone can do.

Besides, Liu Yu said goodbye to everyone, left the military aircraft department, and went straight to the household department out of the palace.

When Liu Yu came to the lobby of the household department, Liu Wan, the secretary of the household department, was playing Tai Chi with several officials.

These officials all came to the household department to ask for money, but this year's funds are really tight, and the household department's silver is eager to be divided into two halves to spend. Now that the year has just begun, where do you dare to be extravagant, otherwise everyone will have to drink the northwest wind at the end of the year.

As soon as Liu Wan saw Liu Yu, it was like seeing a savior, and immediately these officials said: "Today, I have important things to talk about with the Ministry of Officials, and what you said will come back in a few days." ”

The officials still dare to entangle the household department book, but they are very respectful to the official department book who is in charge of their fate, and now when they see him coming, they quickly step forward to salute him, and then they all bow down and retire.

Liu Wan breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw these people gone.

Liu Yu smiled and said to him: "Why is the dignified official department of Shangshu forcing people to pay debts like this? ”

Liu Wan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't laugh at it, I'm living like a year now." I really regret not being at the beginning, and promised the emperor about this. ”

After listening to his words, Liu Yu's face became serious again, "I'm afraid what bothers you, this is just the beginning." After he finished speaking, he sent the holy decree in his hand to Liu Wan.

Liu Wan inexplicably took the holy decree, opened it and took a closer look, and immediately scared him to sit on the ground, it turned out that Liu Wan had long known about the grain storage road.

Liu Yu immediately showed anger on his face when he saw him: "Isn't the virtuous brother also passing through a few hands in it?" ”

Liu Wan immediately got up from the ground, came to Liu Yu's side and asked, "Brother, what's going on this time?" The imperial court wanted to transport so much grain and grass to the capital. ”

Liu Yu hated iron and said with hatred: "I can't say what the specific situation is, I just tell you that the 1.5 million quintals of grain on the fifth day of the sixth month must arrive in Beijing, if there is no grain at that time, your household department will be from top to bottom, including the grain storage road, I am afraid that it will be washed by the emperor." ”

Liu Wan is already sweating profusely, but he has no corruption in this matter. It's just that this matter involves a member of the royal family, and although this lord is not long in power now, he is not so easy to mess with. If he is really pushed to be in a hurry, the Emperor Taishang will not have much to do.

But this time Liu Yu said it so seriously, I'm afraid that something happened in the court that he didn't know. It seems that this 1.5 million quintals of grain will have to be delivered no matter what.

Liu Wan was already panicked at this time, the sweat on his face kept flowing down, he really had no choice but to beg Liu Yu next to him: "Brother save the little brother, let the little brother get through this difficulty, please ask the brother to press this matter for the little brother for a while, and when the little brother slowly raises all the food, of course he will not forget the great kindness of the elder brother." ”

Liu Yu is also helpless now, if this matter is only known to him, he can secretly suppress it for a while. But everyone understands the basics of this matter, even the emperor knows it clearly. There's nothing I can do to keep this down.

"Brother Xian, listen to my words as a brother, don't think about anything else now, go and raise food, this time the matter is not trivial, the court will get this batch of food no matter what. If there is really not enough food near the capital, you can transfer a batch from Jianghuai first to deal with it for the time being. Liu Yu vaguely told him what was powerful, and even thought of a way for him, that is, to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

Liu Wan really had no choice, after all, the granary of the grain storage road was almost empty. How can he raise so much food in a short period of time.

"Brother, now that my brother is here, I can't tell the truth to my younger brother, and I can't even take out a grain of grain from the grain storage road now. It is really impossible to fulfill the emperor's will. Liu Wan was helpless and could only highlight Liu Yu.

Now that he tells the truth, Liu Yu still has a way to help him, if he hides it, I'm afraid no one will be able to save him in the end.

Liu Yu is now exposed to green muscles, he never expected that the household would be so bold. The autumn harvest has only been harvested for a few months, and according to the records on the books, there should be at least one or two million quintals of grain in the treasury now. It all disappeared in just a few months.

Liu Yu grabbed Liu Wan's chest like thunder, "Where's the food?" Where has the food gone? Are you people going to die? ”

Liu Wan is about to cry now, "Brother, little brother, I really can't help it." The lord in the court, I really can't afford to offend. He had been deceived into doing this many years ago. It's just that because the harvest is good everywhere in the world, it is not exposed. Where did you think that the imperial court would suddenly use such a large sum of food. ”

Liu Yu calmed down and asked, "Who is so capable that can scare you like this?" ”

Liu Wan said a name with a painful face: "Loyal to the king." ”

Liu Yu was also taken aback, he didn't expect that this matter turned out to be the chief envoy of the Zhongshun King, it seemed that it was indeed troublesome.

Since King Zhongshun was reprimanded by the Emperor Taishang, he has lost the opportunity to seize the throne, and has been eating, drinking, and spending money in the palace like running water. Originally, if it was just like this, nothing would have happened.

Unexpectedly, the current emperor ascended the throne, which made King Zhongshun suddenly active again, leaving all the previous cautions behind.

However, everyone can understand this, you must know that this period of time can suffocate the king of Zhongshun, although it seems to be happy every day, in fact, for an ambitious prince, this is the biggest torture.

Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, this Zhongshun King can be active in the political arena again, you must know that the relationship between the Zhongshun King and the current emperor is different, after the death of the emperor's mother, the emperor was fostered in the Zhongshun King's mother's concubine, the two can be said to have grown up together, and there is no difference between a mother and a brother.

And the relationship between the two is still very good, before the king of Zhongshun was not degraded by the emperor, although the three princes were brothers, but they have always been the head of the king of Zhongshun, and they fully supported the king of Zhongshun and wanted him to ascend the throne.

How do you know that the relationship between the two people is reversed, maybe the emperor still feels a little guilty about him, so he turns a blind eye to the matter of being loyal to the king, as long as he doesn't make any big trouble, the emperor doesn't ask at all.

Therefore, since the emperor ascended the throne, King Zhongshun began to move around, and the emperor also looked at the feelings of the year and did not care much about him. Therefore, he gave him some more henchmen in the court.

If it's just like this, Liu Yu doesn't take it seriously, but now the emperor has regarded King Zhongshun as a brother of his mother's compatriots, and this time Jia Ke grasped the matter of grain storage, could it be that he already knew that the mastermind behind the scenes was King Zhongshun, and now he would give the emperor a good look?
