Chapter 190: The case of the renovation of the rain village by the army; Leaving Wangcheng Baoyu to build a new merit (3)

Yucun didn't expect to mention the matter of his own thorough investigation of military rations today, and after receiving the order, he thought about it in his heart. I really didn't have an entry point, and I didn't know what it meant today, so I had to find someone to ask, so I went to the North Palace. King Beijing didn't expect that Yucun would come to see him after receiving the decree, so he let him enter the hall, and after the ceremony, the guests and hosts sat down.

King Beijing let go of the tea, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that Da Sima won't be the king of Xunben to eat tea?" ”

Yucun said with a smile, "If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and the lower officials have come to ask for advice." ”

King Beijing said, "But today's business." ”

Yucun said, "What the prince said is good, it is the matter of grain and grass." Although the lower officials are worried about the present, they don't know where to start. ”

King Beijing said, "Above the court, didn't Wei Lao Wang say it clearly? This military ration was lost after it was sent out from the Beijing Division, so it was natural to look for it in the west. ”

Yucun said, "Is it so simple? ”

King Beijing smiled bitterly, "If Da Sima can find this military ration back, it will be a great merit, where is it simple?" Besides, Brother Bao's words, let's look forward, in the past, let him pass! ”

"How dare we compare with Brother Bao!" Yucun sighed as he spoke, and felt that he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly said, "What the prince said is very true, the lower officials just obey the order!" As he spoke, he took a bowl of tea and drank water, covering up his mouth.

King Beijing smiled secretly, but he didn't say much, just mentioned a few more words about Yucun. Yucun listened to the words of King Beijing, so he was relieved, and secretly thought that it was no wonder that Brother Bao said that he could ask this virtuous king. After talking for a while, he waited for King Beijing to leave for dinner, and then he was busy leaving.

When Princess Bei saw King Beijing come in with a smile, she couldn't help asking, "What is Jia Yu Village doing here?" ”

King Beijing said, "It's not for the sake of grain and grass. ”

Princess Bei's eyes lit up, "Will you investigate and deal with the affairs of Jiangnan?" ”

King Beijing said, "Jia Yucun has that meaning, but I don't want it!" ”

Princess North was stunned, "No! What about my brother? ”

King Beijing said, "Even if Jia Yucun wants to thoroughly investigate the affairs of Jiangnan, I'm afraid there will be no result." Don't you see the matter of being loyal to the king? Speaking of which, who doesn't have an idea, if you really check it carefully, it may not be as it is now. It's easy to make Jinshang feel disgusted, and the gains outweigh the losses. It's not as good as now, when the spring is over, Baoyu has another statement, and he will be compensated today; Besides, the grain and grass matter is big at the moment, and if we can really get the military rations back, I am afraid that the matter in the west will be decided. ”

Princess Bei also understood the principle of replacing the old with the new, and when she heard that her younger brother would compensate, she nodded, and said, "The Feng family has some grain and grass, and there are no natural disasters in Jiangnan, will there be a shortage of grain?" Since the west is a big matter, why bother to bring up the matter of grain and grass again? The people are panicking. ”

King Beijing said, "If you can't recover the West Sea Coast, you will naturally not be short of food." Once the fight is not good, it will save food. It's just that once it is defeated, the grain and grass will be shortage. If you want to appease the people, there is absolutely no shortage of rice and food. If you can't eat enough, where will you return to your heart! When Princess North heard it, it was really so. The dead don't eat food, but the living are absolutely indispensable to rice.

If you don't check Jiangnan, then things are much simpler. When I went to the Gyeonggi Cao Transportation Division to check the accounts, it was clear at a glance, the warehousing accounts were good, and the southern grain was basically warehoused; The cashier transfer is also good, and the balance of payments is broken. A stroke of the pen has a stroke. After Yucun read it, he copied it once, and then ordered someone to seal the account book, and send it to the court to testify if necessary. The next day, he went to court and returned to the emperor.

The emperor was very happy when he saw that it had been spent in and out of the rain village for an afternoon and an evening, and he presented the results. I just frowned again after reading it, and pointed to the accounts copied by Yucun and said, "The accounts are very clear, isn't there nothing wrong?" ”

Yucun hurriedly replied, "There is nothing to do at this level of the Gyeonggi Cao Yun Division. There are no errors in storage and transfer. Seeing that the emperor was still frowning, Yucun hurriedly returned to the emperor and suggested that he see the latest grain transfer.

The emperor glanced at it and said, "General Feng brought some grain and grass, since General Feng signed it, is there a difference?" ”

Without waiting for Feng Tang to speak, Yucun hurriedly said, "After General Feng signs the post, he is responsible for the transfer, and the person who receives it is Shen Shiwen, a general under General Xie of Xuanfu. The number of transshipment and reception is not bad, so it can be seen that General Feng successfully transported grain and grass to the front soldiers' camp and ensured military supplies. ”

"Does that need to be said?" The emperor thinks that Jia Yucun is unreliable today?

Yucun replied unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, when the old prince Wei mentioned something to ask, there was no clear reply to the transfer at that time, although there were also people who signed for it, but he was not a general under the old prince Wei. ”

The emperor was stunned, and then looked at the accounts transcribed by Yucun, but he couldn't understand it, and motioned to the eunuch to show the accounts to Wei Laowang. Wei Lao Wang didn't wait for the court, so he thought that he had read the accounts sent by Yucun, so he just glanced twice, and saw that it was the one that Yucun had shown him in the morning, so he replied, "The person who signed for the receipt is not the person appointed by Weichen." ”

The emperor knew that Wei Lao Wang would not tell lies, so he couldn't help blurting out, "What about the grain?" This time, Yucun didn't speak, but looked at the people of the Niu and Ma families with Wei Lao Wang, Wang Ziteng and others. The emperor naturally understood that it was the people of the Niu Ma family who signed the pledge when he left the warehouse, and they were also transporting it, and the grain was gone, so he naturally wanted to find them. So the emperor also looked over. Shenwei General Chen's family moved to the side, this is not a joke.

Yesterday, as soon as the grain and grass were mentioned, the cattle and horses knew that they couldn't hide, and they originally thought that they could last for two days, and their own family secretly transferred some family property, which Cheng thought that this Jia Yu Village was so simple, and he didn't investigate it carefully at all, just one day, and pointed the finger at his own family. He knelt down in a hurry, and said in unison, "On that day, the prince said that although the war in the West Sea was urgent, there were so many empty salaries that there was no need for those grains and grasses, so it was better to transfer the grain and grass to the north and make good friends, lest they provide horses for the West Sea Coast!" ”

"Fart!" Wei Lao Wang didn't wait for the people of the Niu and Ma families to finish speaking, thinking that he was running away. But I thought that the occasion was not in the right place, so I suppressed my anger.

The prince sighed, "This time, let's just say where the rice and grain are going!" ”

The people of the Niu and Ma families glanced at each other, "Pingliang County!" ”

Wei Lao Wang closed his eyes; Wang Ziteng lost his temper in an instant. Feng Tang nodded a few times, but didn't say anything. Jia Yucun doesn't know much about military affairs, but he can observe words and looks, and seeing these three people like this, he knows that it is not good, and hurriedly asks Wei Lao Wang, "Lao Wang, is it dangerous?" ”

Wei Lao Wang said, "Don't you see the return of the Xuanfu envoy?" There are signs of northeast marching along the West Sea, but I didn't understand it at that time, but this time it's not clear? Once this horse of grain and grass falls into the hands of the enemy, I don't know how many more soldiers in front of me will die. ”

Although Wei Lao Wang said it to Jia Yucun, everyone in the court understood it, and the emperor was no exception. smiled bitterly in my heart, this is all my own good imperial uncle! When the matter came out that day, if I was willing to investigate thoroughly, this horse of grain and grass would have been nowhere to hide, so why should I have today? At present, the war in the west is very good, and if he really turns the tide of the war because of this batch of grain and grass, he will be a sinner. But now it's useless to say anything, look at the people of the two families of Niu and Ma, wave their hands lightly, and order the division to investigate. Then he retreated!

The emperor retreated, but Wei Laowang, Wang Ziteng, and Feng Tang could not disperse. The military reports from the front have all returned, and they found that there was a problem with the grain and grass, and the rear did not want to remedy it, but it was too much to say. But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have an idea, I couldn't stop the Xihai Yanzi from marching into the army to seek food, even if I was close to the troops, it would take at least a month before and after, and the cucumber vegetables were cold for this month!

After listening to it on the edge of Yucun, he also calculated in his heart, and seeing that Wei Lao Wang and the others couldn't, he said in a low voice, "Don't you ask for an edict to Pingliang County today?" ”

Wei Lao Wang said: "Pingliang can't stop the West Sea at all, and besides, it is unknown whether there is anything Pingliang in it, once they are alarmed, the barrier behind is afraid that it will move back again." ”

Wang Ziteng glanced at Feng Tang and said, "I can't say anything at the moment, General Feng still escorted a batch of grain and grass over first." Besides, Ziying should not go, just be with Xiaowei for the time being. I'll talk about it when you get there. ”

Feng Tang understood that the escort of grain and grass was fake, and it was true to strengthen the second line of defense led by Wei Ruolan. Baoyu can use the strategy of winding around, but can't the West Sea? In case there is an intersection between people and peace: food, grass, people, and horses, there will be no shortage of food! Thinking so, he hurriedly said, "I'll ask for a decree tomorrow." ”

"If you want to move, tomorrow will not be as good as today." Yucun said and said, "It's just that the prince of Zhongshun wants to put the grain and grass in Pingliang? ”
