The news that Zhenwu Holy Driver is about to arrive in Taiyuan spreads far and wide, a spread of ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon spread throughout Taiyuan City, because there has never been a little wind in advance, a group of gentry and people in Taiyuan are suspicious of this, and the holy driving patrol place has always been a major event in the locality, and the local officials and gentry have to be busy for at least a period of time to prepare for the driving matter, renovate the post roads and bridges, sort out the local places of interest, repair the city, appease the place, tie the color workshop, etc., to whitewash the peace, the local gentry are therefore indispensable to bleed, Now there is not the slightest movement in Taiyuan City, and they naturally refuse to believe it. []

Just when everyone was skeptical, one after another news continued to spread, Taiyuan City came to a super high grade last night, all the big and small officials rushed to the city early in the morning to visit, Shuiximen Street appeared a team of palace guards wearing yellow coats, Taiyuan richest man Fan's family was busy inside and out, I heard that it was preparing to drive, there were already soldiers near Shuiximen martial law.

The continuous news made the gentry and merchants of Taiyuan can no longer sit still, and they have gone out and flocked to Shuiximen Street to find out, when they see Shuiximen Street three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, full of eight banner soldiers, and from time to time you can see the guards wearing yellow coats and riding high-headed horses shuttling back and forth, everyone is convinced, and they have returned home to help the old and the young to come to prepare to see the holy face.

There is no star in these years, and it is a great honor for the people to be able to see the holy face with their own eyes, and it is a great honor for the gentry to see the people, even the ordinary officials have to visit the sky, which is also an incomparably glorious thing, which is also the gentry and the people know that it is difficult to see the emperor at close range, and they will also flock to it, that is, they only take a look at it from a distance, which is enough to comfort their lives.

Tai'an Yi is not far away, but one hundred and twenty miles away, Zhenwu and his party got up early in the morning and galloped quickly, and rushed to Taiyuan City before the time, there were still a few miles left from the water west gate, and the group stopped and washed up a little. Zhenwu changed into a dragon robe, and the guards tidied up their outfits and put on yellow coats, although they did not bring the leading car, the guard armor and shield, the honor guard flag and music and dance, etc., but they could not enter Taiyuan City with a face full of dust, which was too detrimental to the prestige of the Son of Heaven.

Outside the Shuixi Gate, a large number of gentry and people have already gathered, and the black pressure is a piece of people. But it is quite quiet, on both sides of the avenue are two columns of soldiers standing like wooden stakes, at the gate of the city, Yinwu led the officials of Taiyuan City to wait solemnly, a group of officials are more or less a little uneasy in their hearts, no one expected that Zhenwu would suddenly come to Taiyuan, from the point of view of Yinqi deliberately delaying time, Zhenwu this patrol is obviously not to praise them.

Because there is no guard of honor. [ ] Zhenwu could only keep everything simple, and only sent one person to hold a nine-hand canopy in front of him, and he rode his horse and then slowed down. Everywhere passed, all the people were burning incense and kneeling to welcome, to the city gate, Yinqi took the lead in kneeling and greeting: "The ministers welcome the emperor to Taiyuan, long live the emperor, long live!." ”

Zhenwu lightly lifted the reins, stopped, and stared at the officials kneeling on the ground, but did not speak for a long time. A group of officials prostrated themselves on the ground, all of them were like mangs on their backs, just as the so-called heavenly power was close at hand, and in the face of this huge coercion, it was a short moment. Many officials were drenched in sweat.

When it was enough to move, Zhen Wucai said lightly: "I came from Jingshi on a fast horse, but I arrived in Taiyuan in seven days. With that, he urged his mount and walked slowly.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate left the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Shanxi Su Keji, the political envoy Su Zhan, the envoy Yue Dai, and the academic administration. When the chief soldier and other officials heard this half of the sentence, they were all shocked, Zhenwu was clearly warning them, don't think that the emperor Tiangao can do anything wrong, it is only six days away from Beijing.

After entering the city, Zhenwu went directly to the Fan family's compound, Fan Yubin had already taken the family to wait at the door, and when he saw Zhenwu coming on horseback, he immediately knelt on the ground and shouted three long live. …,

Zhenwu said with a smile: "No courtesy, flat body." As he spoke, he turned over and dismounted, and entered the courtyard under the embrace of everyone, because of the tight time, Fan Yubin directly gave up his own main courtyard, and everything was temporarily replaced.

When the following officials saw that Zhenwu had actually entered Fan's house, they couldn't help but look at each other, which one did Zhenwu sing, and the ready-made Fu Ya couldn't live in a businessman's house? All the officials couldn't help but secretly figure out the reason for this in their hearts, those who had exploited the Fan family or still owed the Fan family money were all bitter.

Zhenwu took a bath and changed clothes, and after eating, he rested for a while, and then ordered someone to Xuandu Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi to meet him, and he and other officials were tired and tired waiting outside, and Zhenwu summoned him, and he hurriedly followed in.

As soon as he entered the room, he kowtowed and said, "Slave Xu, bow to the emperor's holy peace." He got up and walked to Zhenwu, he knelt down respectfully, consciously took off the crown on his head, and put it aside, which was the etiquette for the minister to know that he was guilty and plead for punishment.

Zhenwu glanced at him, and then said lightly: "You are sitting in Taiyuan and supervising the relief and disaster relief matters, what is going on in Shanxi?" ”

"Minions deserve to die." He hurriedly kowtowed: "Shanxi's relief to the victims was originally in order and in good order, but when the work-for-relief project was implemented, the slaves were greedy for perfection, in order to invite pets, and wanted to completely cure the floods in Taiyuan City.

The slaves did not ask for a decree, advocated without authorization, and in order to seek their own honor and disgrace, they ignored the disaster victims, and they were ashamed of the disaster victims of the Three Jin Dynasty, and implored the emperor to punish them heavily to suppress the discipline of the imperial court. After speaking, he knocked his head three times, the floor of the Fan family was paved with bluestone, and his forehead was blue and black.

Zhenwu didn't expect that Xuan Xu would be so simple, as soon as he came, he took all the blame on himself, and groaned slightly, before he asked: "Have you ever bribed money from this relief?" ”

Yu Xu hurriedly bowed and replied: "Back to the emperor, the slave has a thin family property, the conscience is not clear, and he will not take food from the mouths of the victims, the emperor has repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed, it is strictly forbidden to embezzle disaster relief money and grain, and the case of private fraud in the capital warehouse is not far away, and the slaves have no courage to bribe disaster relief money and food." ”

Zhenwu glanced at him, although his old man Nalan Mingzhu was dismissed, he left a huge amount of family property, and he also believed that Kuoxu would not lose a big deal because of a small thing, but Kuoxu had been a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he was not ignorant of the river control project, why did he spread the stall so big? Inviting pets in order to invite pets? It is possible that he has made great use of the officials of the Eighth Party, and it is not impossible for him to enter the study room with his qualifications and talents.

However, the misappropriation of disaster relief money and grain, the eradication of the Taiyuan floods, and the levy and dispatch of forced labor, if there was no Shanxi governor Su Keji and political envoy Su Zhan nodding and cooperating, it would obviously be impossible. Is it out of righteousness? No way, there is no such thing as righteousness in officialdom.

Thinking about it slightly, Zhenwu vaguely guessed that he was trying to hide something? Could it be that there is a problem with Su Keji and Su Zhan? Is he trying to excuse the two? The more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, he was not corrupt, and it was not a big crime to cure the Taiyuan flood with work relief, and it was a matter of ability to break the sky, and if there were eight or eleven people who interceded for it, they would not be severely punished at all.

Groaning slightly, Zhen Wucai said in a deep voice: "For his own selfish interests, trapping tens of millions of victims in fire and water is really frenzied, his heart can be punished, leave his hat, and go to the wing room first." ”

Listening to the hat, he left his hat, and his heart couldn't help sinking, Zhenwu is going to dismiss him? This was a bit unexpected to him, as the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Slave thank the emperor for his grace." ”…,

After waiting for Yu Xu to bow down and retreat out, Zhenwu was silent for a long time before ordering: "Summons Su Zhan to meet him." ”

If Su Keji and Su Zhan have a problem, it is naturally a problem of money and food, except for the embezzlement of disaster relief money and grain, there is no other problem, and the political envoy is in charge of the administration and cashier of a province, so he naturally has to ask Su Zhan first.

Su Zhan came in all the way, did not see the narrative come out, he was quite worried, he also couldn't figure out why Zhenwu skipped the governor Su Keji to summon him first, as soon as he entered the door, he glanced at it quickly, and did not see the Dao Xu, but saw the official hat of the Xu, and immediately chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good, he was busy holding back the panic in his heart, and kowtowed: "Slave Su Zhan respectfully invites the emperor to be sainte." ”

got up and walked to Zhenwu, he knelt down as usual, but did not take the initiative to take off the crown on his head, Zhenwu glanced at him, but he was not in a hurry to speak, after taking a sip of tea, he said: "Say, how much is the deficit?" ”

As soon as he heard Zhenwu directly ask him how much he had lost, Su Zhan saw sweat on his forehead, could it be that he had already recruited and confessed everything? Thinking of Kuo Xu's confession last night, he quickly stabilized his mind, impossible, it is impossible for Kuo Xuan to be recruited, and it is not beneficial to anyone to recruit it, how could Kuo Xuan not know this?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took off his top and kowtowed respectfully: "Back to the emperor, more than half of the money and grain in the treasury and Taiyuan Prefecture have been lost. ”

Tell the truth again? Zhenwu couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and said with a slight groan: "Why is there a deficit?" ”

"Back to the emperor." Su Zhan respectfully said: "It's all the loss of this work for relief of the river, because the project is too big, the work for relief money allocated by the imperial court is far from enough, and the local government will pay in advance, and the slaves can't bear to see the river control project abandoned halfway, so they make their own claims." ”

This guy is pushing cleanly! Originally, I wanted to pinch a soft persimmon, but I didn't expect it to be a slippery head, Zhenwu glanced at him, and his heart was already like a mirror, needless to say, Su Keji and Su Zhan agreed that this huge river control project must be to fill the gap, otherwise they would not joke about their future.

With a slight groan, Zhen Wucai laughed and said: "It is easy for me to investigate the deficit in Shanxi, I only need to imprison you, the crime is ready-made, the deficit!" After a slight pause, he continued: "Ma Qi, Wang Luo and Zhao Shenqiao are following me, and they can rush to Taiyuan in two days." ”(。 If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
