Su Wei said unhurriedly: "First, the Ministry of Industry has direct responsibility, the Ministry of Industry's lax review of the construction of the palace has led to a defense hole in the palace, Ziwei Pavilion will directly remove the head of the Ministry of Works, Lang Zhong, and Li Chun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, will also bear the corresponding responsibility, and secondly, the Yulin Army and the guards have also made mistakes in patrol deployment, and the Yulin Army Hu Benlang General Wei Xiaoze and the guard commander Zhao Huan should be held responsible, and we will recommend that the Qi Wangfu remove the two from their positions." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The jurisdiction of the imperial palace does not belong to the imperial court, but to the Qi Palace, and the imperial court cannot interfere in military affairs, especially the appointment and dismissal of generals, which is the authority of the Qi Palace, so Ziwei Pavilion can only make suggestions.

However, there was a loophole in the construction design of the imperial palace, which allowed the assassins to bypass the Yulin army and the guards and enter the harem directly, which was the responsibility of the Ministry of Works, so Ziwei Pavilion could remove the chief official of the Ministry of Works, as for the punishment of Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, it was the power of the regent, and Ziwei Pavilion could only say that Shangshu was responsible.

Du Ruhui nodded, "I will also write a report to report truthfully to His Highness, and ask Su Xiangguo to continue." ”

Su Wei said: "The second plan is to renovate the Qi Palace, directly merge the back house of the Qi Palace into the inner palace, merge the first half of the Qi Palace's Mansion into the Ziwei Palace, and extend the palace wall and palace gate, so that the Yulin Army and the palace guards will expand the scope of defense and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Biyuan." ”

Du Ruhui was silent for a while, this second plan is actually to cancel the Qi Palace, let the regent live directly in the palace, although Zhang Xuan did live in the palace when he came back a few months ago, but that was only an expedient measure, but once the Qi Palace, it was officially moved in, which was the precursor to the throne, Du Ruhui felt that Ziwei Pavilion's plan actually had deeper intentions, especially Su Wei was particularly active.

Of course, Du Ruhui can also understand that everyone wants to be the founding minister, strive to get the merit of support, and bless his children and grandchildren, Su Wei is old, and he naturally wants to promote the establishment of a new dynasty before he completely retires.

Du Ruhan said with a smile: "The second plan is related to the private affairs of His Royal Highness King Qi, and it is not up to you and me to decide, so be it!" Let's put an end to the hidden dangers first, rebuild the exterior wall of the Qi Wangfu according to the standards of the palace, strengthen the patrol of the Qi Wangfu, whether to merge the Qi Wangfu with the Ziwei Palace, or after consulting the opinion of the Qiwang Wang, what do you think? ”

Du Ruhui was hinting to Su Wei that some things can't be decided by himself, even if he has good intentions, the seven Xiangguo looked at each other, Wei Yunqi smiled and said: "Du Senjun is right, this matter really can't be too anxious." ”

Everyone expressed their support for Du Ruhui's opinion, and Su Wei saw that everyone was more cautious, and he couldn't say anything more.

At this time, Xiao Yu got up and said to everyone: "Regarding the second major matter, that is, the price of grain has risen too sharply today, whether we should consider starting the regular liquidation to stabilize the price of grain, let's discuss it!" ”

Everyone looked at Su Wei, he was the first person in the Seven Phases, the oldest and most experienced, and he needed to listen to his opinion first out of respect.

Su Wei sighed and said: "To be honest, I think it's a bit strange that grain prices have soared today, although Qingzhou and Xuzhou were hit by locust plagues last autumn and reduced production, but Hebei, Central Plains and Jianghuai all had bumper harvests of grain, and this time the military grain of the Northern Imperial Turks was mobilized from the official warehouse, and the people's grain was not requisitioned, and there should be no shortage of grain in the market. ”

Lu Chu whispered, "Maybe it's just a momentary panic." ”

Su Wei shook his head, "Generally speaking, only the defeat of the front-line soldiers will cause panic in the stockpiling of grain, but there is no news from the Bingzhou side, just by virtue of an assassination case, it should not have such a big influence, of course, I am not saying that the assassination of the prince is not a big matter, but the impact of this matter is only in the officialdom, in the reputation of the Northern Sui, and it has little impact on the people's livelihood, and the people will only relish this kind of thing, and there will be no panic." ”

Jiang is worthy of being old and spicy, and even Xiao Yu thinks that the assassination of the prince will shake the morale of the army and cause panic among the people, but Su Wei hit the nail on the head, saying that the palace assassination case will only make the people talk about it, and will not cause panic.

At this time, Du Ruhui said slowly: "There is something I need to tell you, just last night I received a report from the Intelligence Agency, the Turkic army of 100,000 has broken through the Loufu Pass and headed south, if this news spreads, I think it is normal for food prices to rise, but you don't have to worry, Shanyang County is still in our hands, and it may not be a good thing for the Turkic army to rush south." ”

Everyone was silent, if it was for this reason, then the rise in food prices would be understandable, but they could understand that it was not necessarily a good thing for the Turkic army to rush south, but could the general public understand?

Su Wei pondered for a long time and asked, "Is it said in the express newspaper when the Turkic army entered the Loufu Pass?" ”

"Yes! Just yesterday morning, I entered the Lou Fu Pass. ”

"This is a bit strange, in just one day, can the grain merchants in Zhongdu get the news? The people of Lou Fu County have been withdrawn, but there are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City, and they will send a message to inform Zhongdu, but the problem is that it will take at least two days for the Turkic cavalry to kill from Lou Fu Pass to Taiyuan County, I am afraid that Taiyuan City has not yet received the news that the Turkic army is heading south, so who will spread the news to Zhongdu? ”

Everyone also felt that Su Wei's questioning was reasonable, and Du Ruhui asked with a smile: "Does Su Xiangguo think that the rise in food prices has nothing to do with the Turkic army?" ”

Su Wei nodded, "I still stick to my previous guess, someone is maliciously inflating the price of food. ”

"What does Sangkook think he should do?"

"First of all, it is necessary to stabilize grain prices, and to sell grain at regular liquidation, so as to suppress grain prices as quickly as possible, and secondly, it is necessary to thoroughly investigate the real reasons for the sharp rise in grain prices, and the stability of grain prices is a matter of great importance, and the imperial court must not be a little ambiguous on the grain issue."

Su Wei's plan was unanimously agreed by everyone, and Du Ruhan said with a smile: "Investigate the cause of the rise in food prices and leave it to our intelligence agency!" ”

Everyone agreed that the Intelligence Service should investigate the cause of the increase in food prices, but at the same time demanded that the news of the Turkic army's southward movement from Lou Fu Pass be temporarily blocked, so as not to cause unnecessary panic.

.........

Just half an hour after the end of the emergency deliberations of Ziwei Pavilion, the Changping position in Xishi was activated for the first time, and the household department transferred 100,000 stone grain supply Changping from the Sinong Temple granary at one time, and the Changping was open to the people of Zhongdu at the price of 90 Wen of doumi.

The effect was almost immediate, and in the afternoon of the same day, the rice prices of the major shops were also lowered to 90 Wen for doumi, and the mile-long queue for buying rice in front of the rice shops gradually dissipated.

However, this move triggered another unintended consequence, many people who grabbed rice at a high price in the morning were seriously dissatisfied, especially many small businessmen who overpaid dozens of dollars for rice at once, causing them to lose dozens of yuan to hundreds of yuan, even if ordinary people lost a few yuan, it was unacceptable to them.

Hundreds or even thousands of people blocked the door in front of each rice shop, and the angry crowd demanded the money they had lost.

Hundreds of people shouted angrily, the noise and riot made it impossible for the rice shop to operate normally, the door of the inner hall was closed, and dozens of men blocked the gate and quarreled with the people outside.

The guys also had a good reason, one guy stood above the gate and shouted: "It's just vexatious, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, have we forced you to buy rice?" You came to grab the rice yourself, and the price of rice fell and you asked us to return the money, and the price of rice went up, do you want to come and make up the difference? ”

The man's shouting immediately sparked the anger of hundreds of people, and one shouted: "Hit this profiteer!" ”

Crackling stones and mud balls were thrown at the guy, smashing the guy all over his head and blood, and he fell from the door with a scream, and the crowd began to get impatient, and more and more stones were thrown at the other guys and shops, and the guys had to use the table to resist, and they were embarrassed.

At this time, a steward ran out in a panic and shouted: "Please calm down, calm down, my housekeeper is settling accounts, and he will give you an explanation soon." ”

The crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone urged: "Acquaintances hurry up and pay back, otherwise you will smash your bird shop!" ”

The steward agreed, turned and ran back.

In the inner hall, several account rooms are settling the accounts, and the chief steward Lu Yu is pacing back and forth in a distraught manner, he is a very shrewd Lu clansman, but he has not experienced major events, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation, which makes him a little flustered, and he doesn't know what to do.

At this time, the little steward came to report: "Qi Yu big steward, the villain has quieted them down." ”

Lu Yu asked the little steward to appease the troublemakers was just a delaying tactic to buy time for the arrival of the government officials, how could he really lose money.

The tent got up and said, "The chief steward, it's been calculated, we have made a total of two thousand three hundred and fifty-five yuan based on the ninety wen of doumi." ”

The deputy steward whispered, "Do you want to return some of them first?" ”

"!"

Lu Yu said angrily: "How to return it?" He said that if he wants ten times, you will give ten times, and if he says that he wants a hundred times, you will give a hundred times? ”

"I just want to stabilize them first."

Lu Yu snorted heavily, and asked the little steward again, "Is there any news from the government?" ”

"Not yet, and I haven't seen the officials in any other store."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the side door, "Don't count on the government!" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and turned around together, only to see more than a dozen big men walking out of the side door, all of them burly and tall, led by a young and tall man, full of momentum.

"Who are you?" Lu Yu took a few steps back and asked in surprise.

The young man at the head hugged his fists and saluted, "Under the surname Liu, the person from the Qi Palace." (To be continued.) )
