Chapter 764: Suddenly

The person who was called "Tian Fu" didn't dare to raise his head, his hands were on the ground, his mouth was about to speak, his lips were closed, as if he was muttering something inside, but none of the people in the palace could hear clearly. Vertex updates are the fastest

Wu Yi was also a little anxious, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, this person is a Yehu in Dingyao Prison outside Yanzhou City, surnamed Tian, with a single name and a compound character, I have never read any books, let alone have much knowledge......

In addition to the coal mining in the Great Jin Dynasty, the court did not control it, and the rest of the minerals such as iron, copper, gold, and silver were all under the exclusive management of the imperial court.

The officials in charge of metallurgical supervision will make allocations according to the abundance of minerals and the number of smelters in the jurisdiction, and require the people in each region to be responsible for the mining and smelting of minerals in their jurisdiction, and hand them over to the mining department. The smelter is ten rooms and nine poor, busy with mining and smelting every day, and it is normal for him to be shallow, at this time, once he saw the Son of Heaven, his behavior was at a loss, but it was not enough for people to chase and shout and kill, it was Wu Yi who simply helped to say a few words, and no one in the field went to investigate.

Wu Yi saw that the man couldn't speak, so he had to guide: "Tian Fu, how many catties of iron have you taught in your family over the years?" ”

Tian Fu trembled and said: "Back to the official, the small family went to the old class iron for a hundred catties...... paused, and said, "The small family has three children, when the eldest son landed, one year old but forty catties of iron, and when the second son landed, it had risen to seventy catties, ten years ago the little girl was full moon, when the old class iron became ninety catties, one year older than one year old, the family was overwhelmed, and the mining area under the jurisdiction was a poor mine, not to mention a hundred catties, even fifty catties of iron could not be smelted, so I had to sell the land and buy iron into the official ......"

As soon as Tian Fu said this, there was a low uproar in Funing Palace.

Zhao Rui coughed twice, turned to Fan Yaochen and asked, "Huang Qing, go to Yanzhou ...... year?"

Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhaoliang had already taken a step forward and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the quota of the class under the Ministry of Medicine and Yao Ye is less than 20,000 catties, and there are nearly 700 households in Yao Ye, and each household is apportioned, but it is only 30 ......catties."

The implication is that there is no problem with the quota set by the DPRK and China.

Zhao Rui heard Huang Zhaoliang's words and couldn't help but nodded.

There are a lot of iron mines in Yanzhou, and Dingyao Prison is only one of them, and he has not prepared in advance, and he can report the quota numbers one by one in this very short time, which is enough to show that Huang Zhaoliang, the prime minister, has done a competent job and has memorized the situation in the DPRK and China one by one. And a thirty-pound class iron, according to Zhao Rui's knowledge, is not a widow.

Even though he thought so, he still called a little yellow door and said, "Go to Tiyan Prefecture for fifteen years to come over." ”

The Yellow Gate went in response.

Gu Yanzhang and the others stood behind the crowd and did not step forward, but only watched the development of the situation in front of them.

Wu Yi heard Huang Zhaoliang and the Son of Heaven answered, and said: "Your Majesty, the court has a quota of 30 catties of iron, but Dingyao Prison has sent 100 catties, of which the difference is 70 catties, where did it go?" ”

As he spoke, he looked up at Zhao Duo, the king of Wei, who was not far away, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, where did the seventy catties of iron from one household and nearly fifty thousand catties from seven hundred households go?!" ”

With Wu Yi's questioning, Zhao Duo's face became more and more pale.

50,000 catties of iron, almost a year produced by three abundant mines, although the amount is not particularly large, but it should not be underestimated.

The most important thing is that iron is a heavy weapon, and it can be used as a weapon. Ordinary people secretly hiding so many iron ores must be a big crime of killing, as a vassal king, he should have avoided suspicion, but he was put on such a thing, no matter who heard about it, he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart.

"Wu Hanlin, what does it have to do with me at this time? This king is honestly in Beijing, he has never been to Yanzhou, let alone heard anything about Dingyao Prison, what do you mean by asking me this? There is no evidence, and don't spew blood......" This long sentence, Zhao Duo almost jumped out of between his teeth.

Wu Yiyu was born in history, and the last thing he is afraid of is a war of words, let alone being threatened.

He wished that Zhao Duo's words would be more ugly, and it was better to threaten himself a few more words, the more ruthless the other party's words, the better his reputation among Shilin.

Confronting the vassal king for the sake of state affairs and for the sake of the country, sparing no expense of his own body, striking stones with jade, once such an act spreads more widely, it is impossible to say that he will wash away his old affairs in Yongzhou.

He was secretly happy in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he only arched his hand to Zhao Rui on the bed, and turned around again and said: "This official is a courtier, inheriting the son of heaven, dedicated to the community, acting rightly, sitting upright, how to be afraid of the little charm!" ”

At the same time, he bowed his head and said: "Tian Fu, where do you pay for every year you take the iron?" ”

Tian Fu said: "The villain will give all the iron to the prison in the prison every year......"

Speaking of this, Wu Yi pointed to another person not far away and asked, "Is that your prison?" ”

Tian Fu nodded hurriedly.

The person Wu Yi pointed to was wearing a fine cloth shirt, looking like a rich man, kneeling at the bottom of the steps at this time, and seeing Wu Yi pointing at him, he was even more alarmed.

Wu Yi asked, "Are you Tian Fu in Dingyao Prison?" ”

The man nodded hurriedly and said yes again and again.

Wu Yi asked again: "Where did you give all the iron you received every year?" But your own class iron is distributed at will?! ”

His words were not salty or light, but the meaning was that the two forces were already trembling there, and shouted: "Official, the villain is wronged, the villain just obeys the order, how dare he apportioned at will!" ”

He also said: "The villain receives iron every year, and all of them are handed over to the officials sent by the DPRK to collect iron. ”

Wu Yi asked again: "The errand officials who come to collect iron every year, but the same people?" ”

Li Zhengdao: "Exactly. ”

Wu Yidao: "If you identify it, can you identify it?" ”

Li Zheng nodded hurriedly.

As he spoke, Wu Yi took out a page of paper from his sleeve, opened it, ignored Li Zheng, and didn't care about Na Tian Fu, but turned the page to Zhao Duo and asked, "Your Highness, I don't know if you know the person in this portrait?" ”

The portrait was painted by a clever painter, with a lifelike face and expression, and it was a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes, who seemed to have nothing special on his face, except for a black mole on his neck.

Zhao Duo's face became more and more ugly, and he paused, but he had to say: "At this time, he looks like a subordinate in this palace." ”

Wu Yidao: "I'm afraid it's not just a subordinate? ”

As he spoke, he unfolded the page in front of him and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”

Li Zheng knelt up straight and shouted, "This person ...... This man is one of the officials who comes to collect iron every year! ”

The portrait was very large, Wu Yi heard what he was saying, deliberately held it up and slowly showed it to the left and right, and asked, "Everyone, do you feel that this person is familiar?" ”

No one in the palace spoke, but everyone was shocked.

How can it not be familiar?

Since Huang Zhaoliang was in trouble a few years ago, Zhao Rui took the opportunity to send his two younger brothers out of the palace to open the mansion, although they have not been in the domain, but they have lived outside the palace. After all, the two have lived outside for many years, and they both live in prosperous places, and people in and out of the house go in and out, how can they not be seen.

The portrait in Wu Yi's hand was very vivid, and many of the courtiers in Funing Palace recognized it

is not a bystander, it is the steward of the Wei Palace, who is very trusted by him on weekdays, and many important errands are called to this person to do.

Wu Yi didn't need the support of others, he turned back to the direction of the bed, and said to Zhao Rui: "Your Majesty, this person is the steward of the Wei Palace, and his name is Cen Guang, and he will know when he confronts him face to face!" ”

Zhao Duo lived in the palace, and his steward naturally followed him into the palace, but after a while, he was brought in.

Li Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, saw the man, and quickly stood up, pointed at the other party and said, "It's him, it's him!" The little one can't admit his mistake again, he has a mole on his neck, which is red! ”

Cen Guang, the steward in the Wei Palace, didn't know what was going on, and he was pointing at him all the time, shouting and screaming, looking inexplicable, but he knew that something was wrong, so he had to stand in place at a loss.

Before Zhao Rui was assigned, a small yellow door had already stepped forward to pull down Cen Guang's placket and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there is indeed a big mole between this person's neck, half black and half red!" ”

Zhao Duo couldn't stand any longer, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Second brother, how can you believe the one-sided words of these people, Cen Guang has a mole between his neck, many people know that he is the steward of the minister's brother's mansion, and he often goes in and out to do things, many people know it, and if they want to identify it, they can fabricate these many foolish sins at will, how can they believe it!" ”

He was still arguing, and Wu Yi had already followed: "Your Highness, I don't ask anyone next to this official, I just want to know where the steward of your house went on the Shangyuan Festival this year?" Where was he when he was on the Yuan Festival last year and the year before the year, and where was he when he was on the Yuan Festival ten years ago? ”

He turned to Zhao Rui and replied: "Your Majesty, Yanzhou was slaughtered in the third year of Qingyuan, the Northern Barbarians entered the customs from Xingqing Mansion, and only began to pull the flag after passing through Xiazhou, Xiazhou As for Yanzhou, it took more than ten days to travel quickly along the way, and the security army had scouts along the way, so there was no news at all, and it actually caused more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Yanzhou to die at the hands of thieves, such a strange situation, the court and China investigated for a long time that day, and finally it was over, the minister traced it for many years, and it was wrong, but now he knows the truth!" ”

The others in the hall were only stunned, Gu Yanzhang stood behind, but he involuntarily took a few steps forward, clenched his fists almost uncontrollably, and only stared at Wu Yi.

Wu Yidao: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Wei secretly communicated with the Northern Barbarians, set up a private field, and secretly sold tea, salt, crude iron, and silk cloth in Xiazhou. On that day, the Beiban detained the pass, and it was the caravan and servant who pretended to be the king of Wei and concealed the defenders all the way to the ...... like this."

If it is said that Wu Yi's accusation that Zhao Duo secretly hid iron ore and forcibly sent iron to collect iron, all of which were ordered by the imperial court to collect money and iron would have ruined his reputation, then his current words could have sent Zhao Duo into the eighteenth layer of hell.

A vassal king who communicates with the enemy country for the sake of money, it is difficult to stand out from the rebellion when it comes to the crime, although his original intention may not be to put the Northern Barbarians into Guanzhong, but in fact it has caused such a result, the city of Yanzhou has fallen, the army and civilians have been slaughtered, one is not good, even if there is blood with the surname Zhao in his body, Zhao Duo may not be able to keep the head of the head.

Zhao Duo wanted to argue several times before he opened his mouth, but he was already interrupted by Wu Yi.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Wu Yi was standing at this time and turned to the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was sitting on the side, calling His Majesty, but his eyes were looking at the saint, and he said, "...... His Royal Highness King Yong is very good at riding and shooting, and he doesn't know how many times he goes out hunting a year, but occasionally a fierce horse will stumble, but the horse is not a raw horse, how could such a thing suddenly happen? What's more, with the power of the Eternal King, even if he can't control the fierce horse, can't he roll off the horse and save his life? I just want to ask, Your Highness, before King Yong went out hunting, he stayed in your mansion for more than an hour, what did he eat in your mansion? And what did you do? ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yi pointed out many doubts about the death of King Yong that day, counted the witnesses, and made many speculations, all of which should be inferred that King Yong's death was not an accident, but man-made. And the person behind the scenes is his half-brother Zhao Duo.

Wu Yi's words were tightly matched, although there was no evidence that hit him in one blow, it was all human evidence and speculation, and there was physical evidence that could not be called a certainty, Zhao Duo wanted to refute it, but he could only refute it verbally, and he became more and more weak and pale.

This time, it was not only Zhao Duo whose complexion changed drastically, but it became Empress Dowager Zhang.

Yongwang is her most beloved son, after the accidental death, it took a long time for the Empress Dowager Zhang to get out of the pain, at this time someone turned out the past, although Wu Yi is all speculation, there is no conclusive evidence, but it is enough to make her heartache.

"With such ambition and such evil deeds, how can you be in a great position? How can we succeed to the unification? Please also ask Your Majesty to think twice before acting, and not to jump to conclusions! ”

Speaking of this, Wu Yi didn't forget to turn his head and look around.

It didn't take long for him to find Gu Yanzhang and Zheng Lin, who were standing far away, and said: "Deputy Envoy Gu and Zheng Zhengyan have arrived, both of them used to be officials in Yanzhou, among which Deputy Envoy Gu is a native of Yanzhou, according to the minister's opinion, the matter of Yao Jian and the slaughter of Yanzhou, he must know more than the minister, as far as the minister knows, when the father-in-law of the deputy envoy Gu was slaughtered in Yanzhou, he was still under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, and the minister will not say much, this time I specially invite the two to explain it......"

It turned out that Gu Yanzhang and Zheng Lin were summoned into the palace one by one, and the person who proposed it was Wu Yi for such a thing!

Until this time, Gu Yanzhang had not yet figured out what the situation was in Funing Palace.

Zhao Rui, who was lying on the bed, was not pale, on the contrary, he was a little ruddy, he spoke and acted without abnormality, and he didn't look like a dying person.

Before entering the palace, Gu Yanzhang and Ji Qingling were speculating that they were afraid that the Son of Heaven was suddenly ill and were in a hurry to meditate. But now, I'm afraid it's nonsense.

But here the two important ministers are here, the clan relatives, the vassal king, the queen mother, the queen, and the dignitaries are also present, Wu Yi is here to talk endlessly, single-mindedly to defeat Zhao Duo, the king of Wei, and what else to say "to be a big position", "to succeed the unification", and for what?

Could it be that the Son of Heaven really wants to pass on the throne to the King of Wei?

But that doesn't make sense!

Gu Yanzhang was still thinking in his heart, and Zheng Lin on the side had already talked about the situation of smelting households in Yanzhou that day.

He seemed to have made preparations for a long time, and he looked at the situation he knew, looking orderly, almost holding Wu Yi's words every sentence, on the one hand, he seemed to know the situation in Yanzhou well, that is, it was not under his jurisdiction, and he was also very concerned that Yao Jian was an independent iron smelting supervisor, and he was originally not under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou, but he knew so much, as soon as he opened his mouth, it made people believe seven or eight points.

After he finished talking about Prison Yao, he said that the situation of Yanzhou City was broken that day, which was really the same as what Wu Yi said, and he also deliberately added a lot of details, which sounded more and more impeccable.

The Zhenrong army is Yang Kui's lineage, and it is the elite army of the Great Jin, among which the officer's spirit is too high, Zhao Duo wants to buy, there is no way, and the price is also high, he took advantage of the security army and the Zhenrong army when the guard was changed, and sent several caravans to Beiban to do business one after another, who knew that the caravan had not yet returned, but it was borrowed by the barbarians who had been prepared, and the blade was transported into the customs.

When the security army saw people coming back, they only thought that it was the subordinates of King Wei who had just gone out, so they naturally did not take precautions at all, let alone warn, where did they know that it was a team of thieves who were put in.

Zheng Lin sounded as if he was just talking about what he had seen and heard when he was an official in Yanzhou in the past, but in fact, he had filled in a lot of loopholes left by Wu Yi's original speculation, and after finishing speaking, Fu turned his head to look at Gu Yanzhang again, and said: "Deputy Envoy Gu's father-in-law was the ruler of Yanzhou City at that time, I don't know if he has any contact with His Royal Highness King Wei?" ”

Speaking of this, he forced another sentence and asked, "I don't know if Deputy Envoy Gu has anything to add?" ”

He looked at Gu Yanzhang, but Gu Yanzhang ignored him, but frowned and looked at the bed in the distance.

One by one, I don't know if it's his delusion, His Majesty is lying on the bed, it seems that he hasn't moved for a long time, and he hasn't made a sound for a long time.

"Deputy Envoy Gu?"

Zheng Lin urged again.

Almost everyone turned to Gu Yanzhang, waiting for him to speak.

Gu Yanzhang took a step forward and shouted, "Your Majesty." ”

His voice was clear and spread far away, even if the rain was loud outside, Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Yang could still hear it clearly when they stood on the edge of the bed in front of them.

With Gu Yanzhang's call, everyone finally turned their attention back to the Son of Heaven.

What Wu Yi said was too unbelievable, and before he knew it, everyone was already listening, and it was inevitable to ignore Zhao Rui who was sitting behind him.

Zhao Rui didn't move.

Gu Yanzhangfu raised his volume by two points and shouted, "Your Majesty! ”

Zhao Rui still didn't react.

Empress Yang's heart was beating wildly, her hands and feet were trembling, she took a few steps to the edge of the bed, and she didn't care that everyone was on the side at this time, she reached out and grabbed Zhao Rui's hand, and screamed: "Your Majesty!" ”

There is still a little temperature to start.

The imperial doctor next to him was only a beat slower, and all of them had already come up.

No one in the Funing Palace spoke, and everyone stared at the bed.

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that only a moment had passed, the imperial doctors slowly dispersed, one of them turned around tremblingly, opened his mouth, first turned to the courtier who was standing below, and then turned to the Empress Dowager Zhang who was sitting on the side, and finally whispered to the Empress Dowager Zhang: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty...... It's a big deal......"
