The next day, Cui Zao really invited the coffin and asked to see Tianyan.

Gao Yue invited the priest at the same time.

Li Shi met the two in the pavilion of the building, dressed in civilian clothes.

In all fairness, Cui Zao came to consult himself and Yuan Xiu about how the emperor was going to deal with it.

And Gao Yue is following behind, if Cui Zao is smooth, he will ask for credit for Liu Changqing, if Cui Zao is not smooth...... Well, he's going to think of a roundabout way.

But when the emperor saw Cui Zao, he had a more concerned topic to say.

As soon as the few sat down, the emperor retreated, and then mentioned to the two earnestly: "Have you heard about Han Yun's affairs in the southeast?" ”

Gao Yue and Cui Zao hurriedly shook their heads - neither of them was stupid, knowing that the emperor had recently been quite jealous of Han Yun's situation of sitting on the dominance of the southeast family, on the one hand, he called Hangzhou Assassin Shi Li Mi into the court, and it was likely to give Li Mi the position of Imperial Doctor Tongping Zhangshi, which could be regarded as fulfilling the promise between his father and Li Mi; On the other hand, Li Shi still wanted to use Chang Gon, but when he heard that Chang Gon had just passed away as an observer envoy in Fujian, he could only give up.

Summoning Li Mi into the court, in addition to using him as a prime minister to increase his strength, he also wanted to inquire about Han Yun's truth and movements.

"This Han Yun, it's amazing now, I heard that he wants to buy six million stones of rice in the southeast Jianghuai and transfer it to the imperial court." The Emperor said this in a very strange tone.

It stands to reason that it is a good thing that Han Rong is willing to send a full six million stone rice to the imperial court, but then-Gao Yue's eyebrows moved slightly twice, and he understood everything:

What the emperor is afraid of is not that he can't finish six million stone rice, but that he is afraid of the ability to get six million stone rice, and what he is even more afraid of is that this ability is not in his hands now, but in the hands of Han Yun, the naval envoy of Xuanrun Town.

Originally, the special person who supervised the transfer of Jianghuai was Bao Ji and Cui Zong, one was in charge of the eastern section of Bian, and the other was in charge of the western section of Bianxi, but later Cui Zong was trapped in Li Huaiguang's camp and could not perform his duties, so the transfer right belonged to Bao Ji. But after the rebellion of the Changwu army, Li Shibo moved to Fengtiancheng, and Bao Ji brought goods to the imperial court, but was robbed by Han Rong (Xuanrun) and Chen Shaoyou (Huainan). Emperor Li Shi was also helpless, on the one hand, he said that he did not care about Chen Shaoyou's crime, and on the other hand, he could only hand over the post of Jianghuai transfer envoy from Bao Ji to Han Rong.

That is to say, the power of this Jianghuai transfer envoy was seized by Han Yun by force.

The core of Han Yun's meaning is "The rice grain was not obtained by Bao Ji and given to the imperial court, but by me." ”

The merits are all mine.

An ironic scene appeared, originally Yang Yan was planning to return the financial power of the whole country to the central government, but now it is divided into Liu Yan, the judge branch of the west, and the transfer of the southeast Jianghuai makes Han Rong take charge of the situation, Liu Yan can only manage the finance and taxation of the west, and he has to discuss with Han Rong.

And compared with things, Han Rong is obviously more powerful, because in addition to the wealth of the southeast, he now has an identity, that is, the envoy of the town navy, with countless soldiers, strong crossbows, and boats, and he is also the biggest financier who supplies the imperial court to counter-insurgency wars, and is the biggest loyal minister.

Therefore, Han Rong said not long ago that after His Majesty returned to Beijing, the people's livelihood, official students, and military students in Guanzhong and Gi would inevitably be difficult, as the so-called "worry about the Su of Ao Cang will not continue, and worry about the food of the king's division will be cut off", and asked to buy 6 million stone of rice in eastern and western Zhejiang, and asked for the Imperial History (that is, to request the constitutional title of the Imperial History for his own shogunate officials) 40 responsible for the program, specifically to manage the purchase, storage, and transfer of this batch of grain.

This seal almost scared Li Shi to death.

"Originally, within a year, the imperial court collected more than 2 million stones of Hudou rice from the local government, and now Han Rong can get 6 million stones at one time, I should be happy, but I should be even more afraid." Li Shi panicked, he was afraid that the Caoyun line was threatened by Huaixi, Heshuo, and Ziqing rebel towns, but now the Caoyun line and the rice, grain, money, and silk transferred were all in Han Rong's hands, and he was even more afraid.

What's even more terrifying is that Han Rong also has another killing weapon in his hand, the salt of the southeast.

As long as he pinched his neck, the court immediately ran out of rice, money, and salt, and then even if Li Shi fled to Danzhou, Hainan, he couldn't save the situation.

But the emperor's suspicion of Han Yun could not be so obvious, so he only knocked on Gao Yue and Cui Zao.

The emperor knew that Gao Yue and Cui Zao were both protégés of Liu Yan, and they were still proficient in financial planning, Gao Yue was good at camping fields, and Cui Zao was good at transporting, so he just asked them for advice, even if he could take some benefits from Han Yun, it would be good.

Cui Zao will also make a plan, and cry to the emperor: "The minister has a capital crime, and he really doesn't dare to plan for His Majesty anymore." ”

The emperor waved his hand, and said that it was not the matter of Yuan Xiu? "Cui Qing has always been by my side, how can my nephew and uncle be complicit? Don't worry, you're still my head of the household! ”

Cui Zao was overjoyed and kowtowed.

As a result, before the end of the knock, the emperor heard Gao Yue's crying, and his heart was irritable, and he cried one by two when he asked you about it, "What is Gao Qing?" ”

Gao Yue choked and wiped his tears with his sleeves, and said that the words of Fang Cai Hyun Jae (Choi Zai Zi Hyun Jae) also aroused my sadness.

"You lonely and cold, do you think of your deceased parents and relatives, or do you feel that the Miao descendants are not happy? After returning to Beijing immediately, I will allow you to build a family temple. ”

"Yue is indeed lonely and cold, so in the past, when he was studying in Chang'an, he was helped by his friends, so he gained a little when he assisted His Majesty today, but his friends now have something to do with the rebellion, and they don't dare to repay the favor, so they are afraid."

"What's the matter?" Li Shi asked.

Gao Yue recited a few poems that Liu Changqing dedicated to Li Xilie, and then said that although Liu Changqing fought alone this time to keep the whole territory of Suizhou, but ah, this poem is not embarrassing.

Li Shi shook his sleeves and said I thought something was wrong! These poems were all written by Changqing when Li Xilie crossed the Han level Liang Chongyi, and at that time I also canonized Li Xilie as the king of Nanping County.

"X's Lee Hee-yeol rebellion isn't your duty or whose is it?" Gao Yue thought to himself, but he didn't dare to shout in his mouth.

The emperor thought about it for a while, and said that it was not easy for Changqing to defend the land, so he asked him to return to Beijing immediately, first as the ancestral hall of the Ministry of Rites, and then be promoted when there was a suitable position.

"The Holy Lord is wise!" Cui Zao and Gao Yue were overjoyed, and both expressed their gratitude to the emperor.

Immediately, Cui Zao happily gave advice to the emperor.

Gao Yue didn't dare to speak for the time being, and only listened from the side.

Cui Zao's plan was to mix sand and slowly cut the right to seize Han Rong's salt and iron, transshipment and rice harvesting.

Then Cui Zao explained the specific plan in detail, and all aspects were involved, which sounded perfect.

The emperor was very appreciative and asked Gao Yue if he had anything to add.

"Back to Your Majesty, Cui Xuanjae's plan can be described as impeccable, and the ministers dare not make any additional moves." Gao Yue hurriedly said.

"Okay, just do what Cui Qing said." The emperor immediately made a decision.

Gao Yue thought in his heart, alas, Cui Zao is afraid that he will be unlucky.

Although I am also Yan Xiang's protégé, only I can take over Yan Xiang's career in the future, so I can't say some things, because if I offend Han Yun now, he will slap you, and you will lie down, not at all in a heavyweight.
