Chapter 120: The Secret in the Granary (Part II)
The granary is about a foot high, and in order to make it easier for the public to see that the structure inside is not actually completely closed, but about five or six planks are exposed on the side for easy demonstration. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, a eunuch had already entered the palace with a small load of chestnuts from outside the palace gate, carefully placed it next to the granary, and then waited for Zhang Yi's orders.
"Your Majesty, just now the minister told the princes that this is a good thing, it is estimated that many seniors will not believe it, and then the ministers will make a trick in front of the princes, and use this load of rice to fill this granary!" As he spoke, Zhang Yi motioned to the other eunuchs to use the remaining wooden planks to seal the sides of the granary.
Not to mention, after being closed, this granary is exactly the same as an ordinary granary.
"I'm tired of this chamberlain helping to pour the chestnuts from the burden into the upper storehouse!" Zhang Yi arched his hand to the eunuch who came in, and then stood aside and waited.
This eunuch is not ambiguous, it is estimated that his status in the palace is not high, and he often does some rough chores, and when he heard Zhang Yixiang's invitation, he immediately pulled the long sleeves on his arm, picked up the burden, and stepped on the wooden ladder that had already been built next to him to go to the warehouse.
I saw that he was carrying a flat burden on his shoulders, but his hands were firmly protecting the baskets on both sides with one hand, and he was slightly inclined towards the opening of the top of the warehouse, and the chestnut rice in the basket was rustling! It flowed like flowing water into the barn. Because there is a partition in the middle, there is actually only a shallow layer on it, and as the chestnut rice is poured into the warehouse, everyone can clearly see that the granary is gradually leveling with the line of sight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and constantly piling up into a pointed shape.
Cold sweat flowing!
It's really a cold sweat!
Which one of the people standing in the court is a dull person?
There is no doubt that if you are really stupid, you can't stand here!
Facing the scene in front of them, everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts!
"Do you think this granary is a good thing?" Zhang Yi turned sideways, so as not to block everyone's view, and said with a smile: "The younger generation can fill the granary with only one load of chestnut rice, but in fact, it is not the technology to be at home, it is said that the warehouse management technology in the long closing warehouse can also achieve such an effect, what a shame!" ”
said that he was ashamed, but he didn't see Zhang Yi have the slightest shame, and when he saw that everyone had almost digested it, he pulled Cheng Chumo and said to Li Er: "Minister Zhang Yi (Cheng Chumo), please punish Your Majesty!" ”
Li Er slowly looked at the expressions of the people below, some were angry and some were shocked.....
"Minister Zhou Xu'an is unknown..... Please also Your Majesty... Let the minister sue the old .....! Zhou Xu'an's face turned pale, and the whole person seemed to have lost all his strength, and the strong beater saluted Li Er.
"The rule of Minister Wei Zheng is not strict, please Your Majesty to surrender!" Wei Zheng also went out to ask for guilt.
......
Suddenly, four or five people immediately stood up in the court and pleaded guilty one after another!
In fact, Wei Zheng can say that he doesn't know about this matter after all, and the reason why he asks for guilt is just because of poor supervision, after all, as the official of the Imperial History, he has the responsibility of supervision, and his subordinates are guilty, and his superiors should naturally be jointly and severally responsible.
And the other officials were obviously implicated in this double-storey warehouse incident, all of them were sweating profusely, lowering their heads and carefully staring at Li Er's expression with the rest of their eyes.
Li Er didn't speak immediately, but saw the spasms on his face, his expression was as unpredictable as a cloud in the sky, and before he heard the words, he had already walked towards the granary lightly.
The granary is very high, Li Er stood over and was only nearly two-thirds of the height of the granary, he took a deep breath, looked at the courtiers again, and suddenly laughed, and said: "What a double-storey warehouse, a good one who ignores the curfew, and a good one who enters other people's houses at night to oppress the people and insult the merchants!" Every time he said a word, Li Er's voice was a little higher, until the end, as if with an incomparably angry feeling, his right foot slammed towards the granary.......
"Boom! ~~~~rustle rustle ......"
Suddenly, the entire granary was immediately kicked down by him, and the chestnut rice on it was like a pearl 'rustling' on the ground......
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger....."
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger....."
Eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Li Jing...... All the courtiers bowed down one after another.......
"Zhang Yi, Cheng Chumo, you guys get up! If you are guilty, they deserve to die! Li Er walked up to Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo, slowly helped them up, and said to Zhou Xu'an and the others: "At the third watch last night, the Baiqi Division brought me back a word, do you want to hear it?" ”
"The sinners don't dare!" Zhou Xu'an and the others immediately leaned over, even saying that they didn't dare.
Li Er sneered, forcibly suppressed the anger in his stomach, and said, "Don't dare? What are you not afraid of? I think you're bold! You collude with businessmen to deceive the superiors and subordinates, enter and exit at a low level, and take the blame for others...... You still dare to use this double-tier warehouse to empty almost half of the long liquidation! Joy to the cangchong rat sparrow! Do you know how sad I was when I brought back this sentence?
If you dare to empty half of my granary before it is full, what would you not dare? As he spoke, Li Er shouted to the side: "Where is Du Ruhui?" ”
"Wechen is here!" Du Ruhui immediately went out of work and handed over.
"In your opinion, what crime should Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo be? What should Zhou Xu'an and the relevant officials such as the Chang Liquidation Office and Sinong Temple be guilty of? ”
"Back to Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui bowed and said: "Zuo Wuwei folded the captain Cheng Chumo and Zhang Yi, the son of Jingyang County, although these two people did not observe the curfew, but there was a reason for the incident, and the double-storey warehouse of the warehouse was meritorious. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Xu'an, who was already frightened, and several other officials involved in the case, and said: "The imperial historian Zhou Xu'an, Sinong Temple, Changping Office and other officials involved in the case colluded with businessmen to raise grain prices first, in order to protect themselves and impeach my Tang Yingjie, as a court official, he is even more greedy..... Lao Chen suggested that all the officials and businessmen involved in the case should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and it is not too late to be convicted after the trial is clear! ”
.......
Li Er was very satisfied with Du Ruhui's suggestion, but he seemed to have forgotten Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo, who were waiting for his reward next to him, and left the Taiji Hall after retreating.
It's just that with Li Er's departure, the entire court is still dull, and many people are thinking about one thing, since there is a problem with the long liquidation, what about the granaries of other state capitals in Taicang? ......
