At this time, Di Ping's heart was restless, was what these two said true? It can't scare me, right? But it's not like that.

I have been cooperating with Zheng Zhao, the prince of Song, for many years, and I still know his temperament.

Di Ping tried to calm his mood, tried to calm himself down, and thought carefully.

I found that I was a little uncalm just now, this Song prince Zheng Zhao must have been caught, but it was not as serious as what these two people said, as if they were about to die, at least they could survive for a while. The two men were clearly deceiving themselves.

But for the final fate of Song Wangye, Di Ping was a little uncertain in his heart, this matter is all based on the sacred heart, His Majesty dealt with it a little lightly, that is, he was imprisoned to death, and His Majesty dealt with it a little heavier, that is, a glass of dove wine, and he died in Huangquan.

After all, Prince Song is just His Majesty's imperial uncle, who has thought about the throne and taken action, which is far from being comparable to the princes of Yan, Zhou, and Tang.

Then entrusting the safety of his family to Song King Zheng Zhao is a bit more than worth the loss!

But I said it myself, and afterwards Lord Song knew that his family was afraid that he would not be able to please him.

I'll wait and see. Then he closed his eyes and said no more.

When the two of them saw it, they were immediately anxious, they were just about to open the breakthrough, why did it suddenly become like this again? I can't figure it out!

So, Yang Bo rolled his eyes and said again: "Di Ping, don't take any chances, Your Majesty has issued an order to severely punish the officials who committed this crime, and you are the most important, I think you will be eighty percent of the three clans, the men will all be executed, and the women will be reduced to official slaves." ”

This is coercion and temptation, Yang Bo has handled many cases, he is good at this set, but he really can't figure out Di Ping's true thoughts, so he opened his mouth to probe.

At this time, Di Ping, who was lying on his stomach, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Yang Bo, and turned his gaze away.

When the two of them saw each other, they immediately understood that this Di Ping still cared about his family, and he was immediately happy in his heart, it was good to have weaknesses, and the ones he was most afraid of were those who were stubborn and did not speak and had no weaknesses.

So Zhou Kuo struck while the iron was hot and said: "Di Ping, don't be lucky, this time Your Majesty is furious, let our eight cabinet ministers and the new household secretary Yang Bo kneel in the imperial study for an hour to dissipate some anger, and ordered a strict investigation, investigate to the end, and the offender will be punished, you open your mouth, I will intercede with Your Majesty for you, and your family will be dealt with lightly." ”

Di Ping listened, paused, but still did not speak.

When the two saw each other, they glanced at each other and found that the direction was right, but it was still a little bit close.

So, Yang Bo said again: "Di Ping, you don't have to worry, this time Prince Song won't be able to get by, you don't have to worry that someone will retaliate against your family, as long as you say it, we will protect your family!" ”

Di Ping listened, turned his head and glanced at Yang Bo deeply, then turned his head away, still without saying a word.

When Zhou Kuo saw it, he immediately understood that Yang Bo's status was not enough, so he immediately smiled.

So Zhou Kuo opened his mouth and said: "Di Ping, what Lord Yang said is true, Your Majesty has passed on the word to me today, the law of the country is like a mountain, I think you, as a person in the officialdom, understand the weight of it!" ”

"As for your small family, you can rest assured, this official swears in the name of the criminal department, as long as you say it, you will definitely save your small family, as for the glory and wealth, don't think about it, but the official can still do it without worrying about food and clothing."

When Di Ping heard this, his eyes were a little red, you said these things earlier, I said them a long time ago, as for grinding and chirping until now?

He and Zheng Zhao are just a cooperative relationship, and they fly separately when the disaster comes, and they have confirmed that he himself is also a mud bodhisattva crossing the river - it is difficult to protect himself, as long as you show the conditions, I will say it, during this period, I am hinting left and right, let you say something appropriate, as for saying so much nonsense, why do you say so much nonsense?

Of course, Di Ping will not say these words, as for Di Ping himself to put forward conditions, as a person in the officialdom, he understands, you must not do this, the urine nature of the bureaucracy is clear in his heart.

Di Ping listened, looked at the two of them for a long time, and then spoke: "I believe in the two adults!" ”

"Since I became the right attendant of the household department in the eighth year of Jianqi, I began to cooperate with Zheng Zhao, the prince of the Song Dynasty, and began to gradually resell the grain in the granaries of Daqian, except for the capital, at the beginning, we only carried out limited cooperation, and the resale of grain was only a routine operation, selling a small part of the new grain as old grain, collecting profits, or lending the grain to grain merchants, and then collecting the benefits."

"Later, seeing that Guo Cheng Guo was not very in charge, and Wang Cheng Wang also turned a blind eye, we became more and more bold, and treated a large part of the new grain as old grain, and then even developed to the point that only part of the grain entered the warehouse, and the rest was sold as soon as it entered the warehouse, except for the granary in Yanjing City, we did not dare to move, and the other granary owners in various parts of the country were our partners, so in the past two years, our grain will be sold as soon as it enters the warehouse."

When Zhou Kuo and Yang Bo heard this, their hearts were full of anger, and the moths of the country were also ugly!

Di Ping didn't care about the two of them, but still said: "The current granaries in Daqian, according to my experience of serving as the right attendant of the household department for many years, except for Yanjing City, I am afraid that it is already less than twenty percent, and most of them are old grain. But the two adults don't have to worry, my Daqian is not short of grain, and the granary of Daqian is originally used as a reserve grain, and in this peaceful year, it doesn't make much sense to have these grains. ”

When these two people heard this, they were speechless in their hearts, this Di Ping also came to comfort them, we are worried about this, we are angry!

Di Ping said: "As for the money I have made from reselling grain over the years, I have not taken much, most of it has been taken by Song Wangye, and I have taken less than one million taels, although on the surface I am the highest official in the household department in the case of granary reselling and shortfall, but I really don't contribute much to this matter, at most I just cover up for the officials below, and I don't look down on the grain resale of this granary." ”

"The money I collect can't be spent in a few lifetimes, I can't look down on these, but some Jiangnan families have helped me match with Song Wangye, I think this Song Wangye is also a road, above the officialdom, many friends and many roads, after a few contacts, Song Wangye mentioned this to me, I don't think it's a big deal, so I agreed."

"It's just that I didn't expect them to be bolder and bolder, this kind of thing is getting bigger and bigger, and I was dragged into the water, so I can only help them plug the hole."

The two of them listened, and there was silence for a while, pondering these words of Dipping.

Yang Bo asked: "Di Ping, then tell me, you have been reselling grain for several years, how much income do you have?" ”

Di Ping listened, was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't know, but I think in my heart that it is possible to pay taxes for a year or two of no less than ten million taels of silver." ”

When the two of them heard this, their hearts were shocked again, they didn't expect that there would be so much, it seems that this King Song is also very rampant!

So Zhou Kuo asked again: "Are the officials of the granaries in the granaries of this great cadre connected by the prince of Song, or do they not know each other?" ”

Di Ping listened, was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't know much about this, but they should all know each other's existence, merchants, families, and granary officials from all over the country should be connected into an interest group, and Song Wangye is obviously the biggest beneficiary of this interest group, but in the granaries of Daqian, there are not many officials on my side, and too many of them are in the Jiangnan area." ”

And Zhou Kuo asked again: "Do you know the power of Lord Song?" ”

Di Ping listened, was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't know very well, the prince of Song is a little too low-key, except for the officials on the line of the granary, the ministers in the court will not get close to him, as for the local officials, they are not very clear, but the Song and Li families in Jiangnan are very close to him, and they also help me match with the king of Song, as for the army, I don't know, I have heard that many people in the clan are friendly with him, and I know so much." ”

Next, Zhou Kuo and Yang Bo interrogated Di Ping one by one on some detailed questions, and Di Ping also answered them one by one, and quickly signed and signed the charge.

……

And the Song Palace.

Zheng Zhao, the king of Song, was a little restless, he had received the news that Zheng Wen had already gotten the news that Guo Cheng had written before his death, although he had not been involved yet, but Zheng Zhao felt that this time he would be involved.

If it was just some officials who bit him out, he was not very afraid, he had a reason to shirk it, but he was too deeply involved in the reselling of the granary and lost money, so deep that he couldn't get out at all.

And his royal brother was stubbornly defensive to himself before his death, imprisoned himself in the capital, and did not let himself be a vassal, he saw through his restless heart, and did not want to make trouble for himself and make it difficult for his brother.

But after all, he was still unwilling and wanted to fight, so after the sudden death of his imperial brother, he was ready to act, but he was embarrassed to find that the ministers of the court did not have his own person in his eyes at all, and those forces in his secret could not take action.

And the dramatic thing is that his lame little imperial nephew ascended the throne, which taught him a lesson, how to stabilize the throne, he has been wrong all these years, what is the use of secretly befriending the central local officials?

As an emperor, the most important thing is military power, he is secretly observing his imperial nephew these days, as soon as he becomes the emperor, the purpose is very clear, first to seize military power, and then talk about everything else.

But not to mention, this effect is leveraged, first through the righteousness to seize the military power of the forbidden army, after the life is guaranteed, and then through the battle of Shanhaiguan mobilized the garrisons of Daqian, constantly to inspect the army, to the generals and soldiers that are cold and warm, constantly declare their ambitions, as long as the soldiers and generals who have been to Shanhaiguan, they will be rewarded generously, under a series of combination punches, the military heart of Daqian has been grasped in his hands, and he has successfully sat on the throne!

This series of actions made me stunned, and I realized that I had done something wrong all these years.

I still want to change, but the granary reselling case that has just broken out is in danger.

Could it be that he is not as good as his royal brother after all, even his son?

And what am I going to do?
