Chapter 190: The Truth!
At this moment, Pei Yan's heart sank completely, and he regretted it even more in his heart, why did he mess with Li Hong if he had nothing to do, and now he is in trouble, but how can he be good......
"Your Majesty!"
At this moment, Liu Renliang took a step forward and stood up.
He knew that it would be no good for Li Hongzhun to be on the stall! glanced at Pei Yan fiercely, why did you provoke him if you had nothing to do?!
However, Pei Yan was his protΓ©gΓ© after all, and Liu Renliang naturally couldn't sit back and watch him bear Li Zhi's anger alone, and sighed softly, Liu Renliang spoke.
"Although Pei Yan's move is inappropriate, it can be regarded as loyal! After all, the household department has its own process for transferring grain, so it is not his wish to put His Royal Highness in danger, not to mention that General Wang forcibly broke into the household department, although there is a reason, but there is indeed something wrong, please let Your Majesty know it! β
Old man Liu's words are quite tactful, but they are also quite clear!
Pei Yan did something wrong, but the prince was not wrong, he ran to Lantian County by himself, and sent someone to smash the household, which is not a trivial matter......
Only then did Li Zhi calm down, and for a while, he also felt that Li Hong was a little wrong......
But at this time, Li Hong said lightly.
"Liu Xiang's words are wrong! Lonely's safety is still secondary, but only Pei Shilang himself once said that General Wang explained to him that there are a large number of victims in Lantian County, and they are still out of hunger and cold. β
His tone was slightly cold, and he stared at Pei Yan who was kneeling on the ground tightly, with a cold expression.
Li Hong sneered in his heart, daring to stumble on him secretly, Pei Yan himself didn't weigh his own weight!
"Those mobs ......"
I saw that I was about to escape. was inserted by Li Hong again.
Pei Yan suddenly felt a wave of dissatisfaction in his heart, raised his head and argued to himself.
But just said four words. was interrupted by Li Hong's scolding.
"Who told you it was a mob?!"
Li Hong pointed at Pei Yan with a fierce voice and said loudly.
"Pei Shilang lives in the temple. Have you ever seen these victims in person, and have you ever known how they are uprooted and displaced? Have you ever understood the helplessness of your relatives and children to leave the world because they can't eat a mouthful, those victims are just forced to go to the county government to ask for their lives, how did it get to your mouth, just a mob, you are under the court, you don't want to ask for life for the people, and help the people. Do you regard your father as a dumb king?! β
After a burst of reprimand, Pei Yan was already sweating like rain.
Even Li Zhi's face is getting worse and worse, the people have no way out, and they raise troops to rebel, which is a scene that only appears in troubled times!
That Pei Yan is a mob, could it be that now is the time of Emperor Yang?!
As soon as he thought of this, the thought of punishing Pei Yan, which had been extinguished in Li Zhi's heart, came out again, his eyes were slightly cold, and he said lightly.
"The head of the household, Pei Yan. Dereliction of duty, putting the victims in the fire and water, from now on, behind closed doors to think about March. A one-year fine! β
After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhi still didn't punish too much, after all, what Liu Renliang said in this matter also made some sense. It's just that I can't help but prick a thorn in my heart......
"Minister, Commander!"
Li Zhi has made a clear disposition. No matter how much Pei Yan refused, he could only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Obediently bow to thanksgiving.
After disposing of Pei Yan, Li Zhi's face also softened and turned to Li Hong.
"Hong'er, what is the situation in Lantian County? Why did the victims besiege the county government? β
Li Zhi frowned slightly, and asked with a solemn face.
Lantian County is not far from Chang'an, and it can barely be regarded as the land of Gyeonggi, but now such a big event has happened, and Li Zhi can't afford not to care.
What's more, even if Li Zhi is stupid, he can guess that there is a hidden secret, otherwise why would Li Hong attack the six rates of the East Palace for no reason, and forcibly break into the household, this is not like Li Hong's calm style.
"Father, the victims besieged the county government, all because of the poor relief, the people were so hungry that they had no choice, so they went to the county government to ask for food, and it was inevitable that they would act excessively for a while, as for the specific situation, the son brought Lantian County Cheng Zhang Khan Zhi, he will explain the matter to his father in detail!"
Li Hong's face was calm, he arched his hand, and said in a deep voice.
After that, he took a step back and revealed Zhang Cambodia behind him, he believed that with Zhang Cambodia's intelligence, he should know how to say it......
Although those victims were really pitiful, after all, they were besieging the county government, and if they reported it truthfully, they would inevitably be punished, but Li Hong couldn't bear to suffer them anymore, so his words were a little lighter.
Originally, he wanted Zhang Xiancheng to come to help him testify and prove the urgency of the situation in Lantian County, but now it seems that Li Zhi did not intend to punish him, but Li Hong hesitated for a moment and decided to let Zhang Xiancheng come out.
First, it is a bit of a mistake to let him deal with it in person, and secondly, it is also to give Zhang Xiancheng a chance, after all, showing his face in front of the emperor is not an opportunity that anyone can get, of course, it also depends on whether Zhang Xiancheng has the courage to be appreciated by Li Zhi.
What's more, this matter is indeed not suitable for Li Hong to speak, because there is another tricky character involved, Yongwang Li Xian!
Zhang Cambodia glanced at Li Hong gratefully, he naturally understood that this was Li Hong giving him a chance, and he didn't twist at the moment, stepped forward and arched his hand.
"Minister Lantian County Cheng Zhang Cambodia has seen Your Majesty, and I have seen Niangniang!"
"Well, let's get flat! Since Hong'er said that you understand the situation in Lantian County, you can talk about it! Why did the victims besiege the county government in Gyeonggi? Where is all the relief food distributed by the household department? β
Seeing that Zhang Cambodia was the person recommended by Li Hong, Li Zhi's tone was also a little gentler.
But in the end, Li Zhi seemed to remember the mess in Lantian County, and there was a bit of sternness in his words!
"Back to Your Majesty!"
Zhang Cambodia settled down and spoke.
"This summer, Lantian County suffered from drought, no harvest, the household department issued relief food to enrich the official warehouse, the people barely survived the disaster year, but since this autumn, all over the country are reported to the disaster, a large number of people from other places poured into Lantian County.
Because these victims were not from Lantian County, and considering that there might be a snow disaster this year, the county lord insisted on refusing to open the official warehouse, and later the mood of the victims intensified, and there were several fights, but they were all suppressed......"
Li Zhi's brows suddenly furrowed, he knew about the disaster relief of the household department, but he didn't expect that the disaster situation had reached such a serious level.
What's more, at that time, he didn't expect that the situation of the influx of disaster victims from other places was negligent to him.
"The minister has repeatedly asked the county lord to open a warehouse to help the victims, and he has also written to the household department, but there is no response, the minister became suspicious, and secretly let people open the official warehouse, and found that there is no food in the official warehouse, and the thousands of loads of grain allocated by the household department have long disappeared, just at this time, the news was accidentally learned by the victims, and there is today's disaster!"
Zhang Cambodia's face was slightly cold, and he finished speaking in a heavy tone.
The hall was instantly quiet! (To be continued.) )
