Imperial capital.

In the Imperial Study.

Wang Xu was very angry today, he received two recitals, two completely different recitals, which was originally not contradictory, but

"Take a look, take a good look, the county guard of Snowy County said that Snowy County has been in drought for two years, and asked for food relief; And this other report was sent by Qin Shuang, who said that the snowy county was only a little drought, which was not enough, so the imperial court did not care. ”

Wang Xu threw the two copies in front of Jia Shen and Wen Qing: "It's really unreasonable, one of these two people must be lying, and he dares to bully the king, bold!" ”

Jia Gray smiled: "I have to ask Lord Wen about this, in the past few years, there has been a great drought in Xueyu County every year, and my imperial capital has transported hundreds of thousands of deniers of grain, as well as millions of taels of silver to relieve the victims." ”

"Ask me?"

Wen Qing was taken aback, and immediately said: "Master Jia, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't beat around the bush." ”

Jia Gray smiled and didn't speak again, he knew very well in his heart that all this must be Wen Qing's ghost again, but he had no evidence, so if he said nonsense, it was very likely that he would be guilty of falsely accusing the minister.

"Okay, okay, don't argue, which of you will tell me, is this relief, or not relief?"

Wang Xu said.

Jia Ash said: "Relief or no relief, we must first figure out what happened to Xueyu County, is it the wind and rain?" Or is it a drought every year? ”

"Reasonable."

Wang Xu pointed to the fold that fell to the ground and asked, "Then you say, which of these two folds is true?" Which is fake? ”

"This."

Neither of them spoke, in fact, Jia Ash wanted to stand up and say that there was no house in Xueyu County, but he had no evidence, and what he said was in vain.

"Wen Qing, you say."

"Yes."

Wen Qing thought for a moment. Said: "Your Majesty, it's hard to say this, the world is so big, how can there not be three disasters and three difficulties, perhaps, in the eyes of the Snowy County Guard." It's a big drought, but in the eyes of General Qin, it doesn't matter, so. ”

"What the hell are you going to say?" Wang Xu said: "Isn't that the same as not saying it?" ”

Wang Xu looked at Jia Ash: "Lord Jia, you say." ”

Jia Ash arched his hand: "Your Majesty, if you want to know the true situation of Xueyu County, you have to send the Qin Cha or the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate, and it will be clear at a glance." ”

"Well, that's a good idea. However, from here to the snowy county, it is thousands of miles away, and when you go back, I am afraid that it will be a few months later, and besides, if there are really disaster victims in the snowy county, then this delay, won't they all starve to death? ”

Wang Xu said.

Wen Qing buried his head and thought for a while, "Your Majesty." This snowy people have always peeked into the land of the Central Plains, and now the snowy region is in great drought. If you don't just discourage their strength, why spend your strength to transport grain for disaster relief. ”

"Lord Wen's words are wrong!"

Jia Ash looked at Wen Qing: "Lord Wen, don't forget, now the Snowy County is the territory of my Holy Dynasty, and the people of the Snowy Region are also the people of my Holy Dynasty, you dare to make this decision to Your Majesty!" ”

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. Today is the people of my holy pilgrimage, do you dare to guarantee that he will be the day? ”

Wen Qing did not show weakness and fought back bluntly.

"You."

After all, Jia Ash was not as articulate as Wen Qing, so he was speechless in a few words.

Seeing this, Wang Xu waved his hand directly: "Okay, okay." Don't argue, why do you two quarrel as soon as you meet, you should be in harmony as officials in the same dynasty. ”

"Yes."

The two arched their hands.

Wang Xu said: "General Qin's words, I will not doubt it, but the county guard of Xueyu County is called Meng Jian, I know this person very well, and Meng Jian will not bully the king, so in order to completely find out what happened, I must send a messenger to go!" ”

Meng Jian, that was recruited by Wang Xu when he went to Nanjun many years ago, he was a great talent in governing the county, Wang Xu couldn't believe it anyway, Meng Jian would lie about this kind of thing, this matter is already very clear, who must be defrauding the court of grain, gold and silver, and then filling his pockets.

Wang Xu shook his head, he would never believe that Meng Jian was such a person, and Qin Shuang was the same, Qin Shuang had followed him for many years, he had always valued money, he had 150,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and he was still the general of the Holy Dynasty, how could he destroy his future like this?

"Then dare to ask Your Majesty, who should be sent?"

Wen Qing asked.

Wang Xu was stunned, this is indeed a problem, even Qin Shuang and Meng Jian can't believe it, so who else can be trusted?

"It's better to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate handle it, let Due send someone to go, he is the minister of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this matter is under his control."

After saying this, Wang Xu secretly glanced at Wen Qing, wanting to see something from Wen Qing's face, however, to Wang Xu's disappointment, Wen Qing's face was normal, and there was no trace of change.

In fact, to be honest, when he received these two letters, Wang Xu's first thought was Wen Qing, he must be playing tricks, he must want to be greedy for money again, and he wants to be a corrupt official again, however, seeing Wen Qing's calm face at this moment, Wang Xu is very puzzled, does this matter really have nothing to do with Wen Qing?

"All right, you go down."

"No."

The front line is in a continuous battle, and it is quite intense, but although these Wang Xu are very concerned and want to know the result, it is useless for him to be anxious, because he is not on the front line. He could only wait for news in the palace.

This is the emperor, he doesn't have to do everything himself, originally Wang Xu wanted to go to the front in person, but almost all the ministers were against it, and after many court discussions, he finally gave up.

When he came to the harem, Wang Xu went directly to the White Snow Palace.

Zhang Xue now has a big belly, extremely inconvenient to move, and is supported by two palace maids.

"Cher, how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine, they're all very nice to me."

They here, of course, refer to the two palace maids beside her, and when they heard this, Wang Xu immediately rewarded each of the two palace maids with ingots of silver.

The palace maids in the palace can only receive a habit of money after working for a month, and at this time Wang Xu personally rewarded ten taels of silver, which is equivalent to a year of work for them, and the two palace maids thanked them excitedly.

"Okay, okay, get up, you must serve Xue'er well, the benefits are indispensable to you."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The two palace maids got up and helped Zhang Xue to the seat and sat down.

Wang Xu also sat in his seat: "Xue'er, do you want to go to the snow to see the snow?" ”

"Look at the snow? Absolutely. Zhang Xue was startled at first, and then her face was full of joy, but she looked at her belly and went bald again: "The concubine is pregnant, I'm afraid I won't be able to go." ”

"Is Husband going to Snowy County?"

Wang Xu nodded: "Well, Meng Jian, the county guard of the Snowy County, said that the Snowy County is in drought every year, and it urgently needs the imperial court to send money for disaster relief, but the general Qin Shuang said that the Snow County is smooth and rainy, and there is no need to send money for disaster relief, which makes me very embarrassed, I don't know if what they said is true." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xu took a deep breath: "Both of them are the pillars of the stone that I personally selected, and I have followed me for many years, and I have never doubted their words, but this time." ”

Zhang Xue said: "So do you want to go and see it in person?" ”

Wang Xu nodded. (To be continued.) )
