Listening to Bo Guoduo's words, Yin Xi couldn't help but look bitter, under the five banners and five banner owners, there are three who are close to him, and the princes and nobles of each banner are involved, he can't help one or not help the other, besides, the relationship between Bo Guoduo and Yaerjianga and the old fourteen is not bad on weekdays, why did Baba run to the door to ask for his help?

Thinking of this, he already understood that there must be more than these two people who were involved in this red flag, and Bo Guoduo asked himself if he couldn't protect too much in front of the old fourteen, so he came to find himself to be a separate guarantee, and this abacus was very good.

After a slight sigh, Yin Xi lowered his voice and said, "Fifth uncle, do you see that the fourteenth son is sitting steadily?" ”

Hearing this, Bo Guoduo was shocked in his heart, could it be that the eighth child still didn't give up? He couldn't help but secretly complain, this trip is reckless, these two people can't keep it is the end of a dismissal, if you involve yourself in a big case of rebellion for this matter, it will really be more than worth the loss.

After a slight sigh, he sighed lightly: "It's not that I have the ambition of others, the emperor is really a genius, since Kangxi went down to the south of the Yangtze River to create a navy, it has only been a few years?" It's not a fluke that he can ascend the throne, before, you brothers couldn't help him, and now who can shake him in the slightest? ”

Yin Yu smiled and said, "Since the fifth uncle understands in his heart, why do he still have to compete with the old fourteenth?" ”

Rivalry? Bo Guoduo couldn't help but be stunned, and said in surprise: "You mean that this time the rectification of the warehouse is aimed at the flags?" ”

Yin Yu nodded slightly, and said: "If I expected it to be true, the old fourteenth rectification of the warehouse is to find a few scapegoats for the spring drought to block the mouths of the world, and the other is that this case involves the Jingshi grain merchants who have something to do with it, and most of the Jingshi grain merchants are from the disciples of the princes and nobles of the banners, who does not know about this matter in the capital?"

Furthermore, when the Emperor Taishang was in power, he ordered the old fourteenth to rectify the flag affairs and solve the livelihood of the flag people, and the flag people marched into the workshop to solve the livelihood of the flag people. This is just the beginning, and the old fourteen have always acted one link after another. It can't be simple. ”

This is a good point, judging from the fact that Zhenwu deliberately controlled the major rice shops and grain merchants from the beginning, it is indeed the drunkard's intention not to drink, and Bo Guoduo's expression became gloomy at once. If this is really the case, these princes and nobles under his command are afraid that they will not be able to keep it, and after a long silence, he said: "Now that there are few wars, the title is not easy to obtain, and the imperial court is now vigorously promoting overseas feudalization, and the title is becoming more and more precious." Being knighted for this little thing is really embarrassing, can't you think about it? ”

"Fifth Uncle is only half right." Yin Yu said with a smile: "There will be a lot of wars in the future of the Qing Dynasty, but they are all covered by the navy and the new Praetorian Guard, and there is nothing to do with the Eight Banners in Beijing." But the title of the Qing Dynasty will definitely become more and more precious. After a slight pause, he continued: "It is not impossible to keep the title. But if there is gain, there must be loss, and you can't have both fish and bear's paws. ”

Bogodo stared at him and said, "You mean the position?" ”

Yin Yu nodded slightly and said, "Although the old fourteen acted in a modest, he was not paranoid. He will never be killed, he will definitely accept it when he sees it, and those who are involved in the case of fraud by the officials and officials of the warehouse, whether they want it or not, this position cannot be kept, rather than this, it is better to retreat to the second, take the initiative to write a defense, and resign from the fold, this title may still be kept. He said. He sighed lightly and said, "Let them use their minds overseas, that is the sea and the sky." ”

Take the initiative to write a defense, and ask for resignation? Bo Guoduo couldn't help but hesitate, most of these princes and nobles were the commanders, deputy commanders, and staff leaders of the banners, this resignation. It is tantamount to giving away the military power of each banner, without the military power, what prestige do they have for these banner owners? …,

Seeing Bo Guoduo's hesitation, Yin Yu said solemnly: "There is nothing to hesitate, when the old fourteen make a move, the military power of each banner will also be deprived cleanly, at that time, I am afraid that you will not be able to please it, besides, can the current Eight Banners Forbidden Brigade in Beijing compete with the Navy and the New Guard?" It's only a matter of time before you remove, cut, and reorganize mergers, right? ”

Bo Guoduo nodded thoughtfully, the expansion speed of the navy and the new army of the Praetorian Guard is quite amazing, with the temperament of Zhenwu, it is impossible to raise hundreds of thousands of useless Eight Banners forbidden brigade in vain, there is no doubt about the reduction, reduction, rectification and merger, but it is only sooner or later, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the power of the banner lord and the prince of the Five Banners has been constantly weakened and suppressed, Zhenwu has the navy and the new army of the Praetorian Guard in hand, there is no need to worry, strengthen the imperial power, it is imperative to unify the eight banners, I can't see this clearly, even if it is the iron hat prince, It definitely didn't end well, and after a long silence, he sighed and said, "That's the only way." ”

Yin Yu smiled slightly: "Fifth Uncle doesn't need to be frustrated, this is the trend of the times, if the red flag can play an exemplary role, maybe there are other benefits, this is a great achievement." ”

This is indeed a great achievement, Bo Guoduo couldn't help but nod slightly, it should be no problem to keep his title of prince and honor.

In the case of sealing the warehouse, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in the major granaries, and all the grain stored in the warehouses was moved out of the scales one by one to check the quality of the rice.

Zhenwu spent so much manpower and material resources to strictly investigate the case of fraud in the warehouse, Wang Luo, Tian Congdian and other five people naturally did not dare to slack off, and the granary in charge of each was personally commanded and supervised, and the food and accommodation were nested in the granary.

Although the Hanlin officials have a noble status, they are poor jingling, and they hate these city fox society rats, and this case is personally grasped by Zhenwu, if they perform well, they will inevitably be reused, so they not only supervise strictly, but also study the private fraud methods of a group of warehouse officials and officials, hoping to be able to make a splash in improving and standardizing the warehouse management system.

The prisoners of Guozijian were originally qualified to serve as officials after they were released from prison, and this errand was a real exercise for them, and what made them even more excited was that Zhenwu had a large number of seconded prisoners in disaster relief and case investigation, which showed that Zhenwu attached great importance to the prisoners, and the quality of the errand was not only related to the reputation of Guozijian, but also related to their future future, how dare they not work hard.

In just three days, the results of the inventory of Fuxincang, the old Taicang, and the Tongzhou Xicang came out, and the three warehouses had a total deficit of 160,000 stone of rice and wheat beans, and 150,000 stone of shoddy, implicating as many as 74 officials and 12 grain merchants.

Looking at the results of the statistics and the relationship behind the twelve grain merchants, Wang Luo couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, there is so much deficit in these three warehouses, so how big is the deficit in the entire Beijing and Tong granaries? This is a shocking case, after a little hesitation, he hurried into the palace to hand over the sign to ask to see, this case is too big, I don't know how many princes and ministers will be implicated, this trip to the water can be described as unfathomable, he does not dare to be self-conscious.

In the palace of nourishing the heart, Zhenwu is praying for rain and fasting with great fanfare, he doesn't believe in praying for rain, but he must do a lot of things, this year is preaching the divine right of the monarch, he is not in awe of heaven when he is the emperor, how to maintain the sanctity of the monarchy? Therefore, even if you don't believe him, you have to do it, do it with great fanfare. …,

Hearing that Wang Luo was out asking to see him, Zhenwu knew that the case of fraud in the warehouse camp had an eyebrow, and immediately ordered him to come in.

When the king entered the hall, he bowed his head and said, "The king of Weichen respectfully invites the saint Ann." After getting up, he took a few steps forward and wanted to kneel, but Zhenwu said gently: "No courtesy, give a seat." ”

After thanking him, Wang Luo cautiously sat down diagonally in front of Zhenwu, and after he sat down, Zhenwu said: "Is there a result, or is there a tricky thing?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Wang Wei bowed and said: "After three days of thorough investigation, the results of the inventory of Fuxin Warehouse, Old Taicang, and Tongzhou West Warehouse have come out. As he spoke, he reported the results of the investigation in detail, not daring to mix in any opinions.

Zhenwu didn't make a sound for a long time, Wang Luo didn't dare to look at him, staring at his toes intently, but he was quite nervous in his heart, for fear that Zhenwu would be furious and have the right to speak, but he didn't know any opening in such a big case, and when he was silent, Zhenwu opened his mouth and asked lightly: "Shoddy, to what extent?" ”

Wang Luo secretly praised this master for his good cultivation, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Back to the emperor, there are three main types of shoddy grain, one is moldy rice grain, and the other is old grain that has been aged for an unknown number of years, and it becomes powder when twisted by hand, and the third is excessive mixture of stone and sand. ”

Zhenwu nodded, still said indifferently: "The three warehouses have a total of 2.8 million stone of grain, and there is a deficit of more than 300,000 stone, and there are more than 10 large and small granaries in Beijing and Tongdi, how many 10,000 stone will be in deficit in total?" ”

Where did Wang Luo dare to take this, he couldn't please him if he said more or less, so he simply kept silent, Zhenwu muttered to Liangjiu, and then said in a deep voice: "Beijing and Tongzhou are like this, and the water along the canal is even more unbearable.

The warehouse officials and grain merchants who have been found to have embezzled official grain must be severely interrogated under torture, and the means of embezzlement and malpractice must be ascertained, and all houses should be raided to recover the deficit, regardless of the size of the official position, and no matter who is involved, they will be thoroughly investigated. ”

"We're honored." Wang Luo hurriedly bowed and said.

Zhenwu nodded slightly: "Check, continue to increase the intensity of investigation, not only to investigate, but also to dig deeper!" Also, leak the findings out. ”

Wang Luo was confused when he heard it, he didn't know why he wanted to leak the investigation results, he didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen Zun."
