Chapter 620: Borrowing a knife
Speaking of the word "He Gu" at the end, Huang Zhaoliang raised his voice, raised his head and looked at Zhao Rui on the steps, his eyes were like arrows, and he couldn't wait to shoot all the thoughts in his heart into the brain of this true dragon emperor, and then use his hand to make the urn strong, and not a word should be leaked.
Zhao Rui was so stuffy in his chest that he almost couldn't breathe, he took a deep breath several times, and then couldn't help but retort: "Chen Hao and Gu Yanzhang have the right to act cheaply, the two of them command the military affairs in Guangnan, although Liang Jiong's rebel troops rebelled against the city, they never hurt a single person, how can they be confused with ordinary thieves??" Although there is Xu Mao, even if there is no such person, there are traitors in Guangnan, and Jiaozhi can generally commit crimes, so what does Gu Yanzhang have to do? ! ”
He grabbed Huang Zhaoliang's words and said one by one: "Wu Yinai is the governor of Yongzhou, he should take care of side affairs, beware of Jiaozhi, he forbids mutual markets, and Chen soldiers border, but he has never calculated the strength of the troops in the city, this move led Jiaozhi to take the opportunity to send troops, Gu Yanzhang was impeached according to the facts, what is the crime?!" ”
"Yongzhou's grain is already insufficient, and the materials are even more scarce, so Gu Yanzhang copied the ...... first in order to prevent the people from taking it."
"Your Majesty!"
Huang Zhaoliang waited for a long time, just waiting for this article, and when he heard that the head man finally got it, he immediately interrupted in a loud voice: "Your Majesty does it take to copy the people of a county, how long will it take?!" ”
He stared at the Son of Heaven who was about to burst into flames, and he was not afraid at all, but only said loudly: "Copying the people of a county, if it is a large county, you need to draw out at least half of the people from the yamen in the county, and order the local elders and elders to visit every household one by one. ”
"What about a county, what about a state?"
As soon as Huang Zhaoliang opened his mouth, he didn't even use his brain, he reflexively reprimanded: "Gu Yanzhang is not a first-time official, he once served under Yang Kui, did a pre-battle transfer, and even served as a general judge in Ganzhou, and he was praised by the Son of Heaven, how could such a courtier not know that copying is time-consuming?" ”
"Is grain important, or is people's lives important?! At what time and where will disaster relief and relief people not be fraudulently claimed? It's just for the lives of the people, and everything else has to be left behind! Gu Yanzhang is a person who wants to make his own merits, regardless of the life and death of the people! What is the use of such an official? There are always many talents, and at this point, the guilt is no longer easy to wash! ”
"What is the use of such selfish, heartless and lungless ministers?! It should be escorted back to Beijing......" Huang Zhaoliang said this, his breath was so smooth, he almost followed the sentence "show the public" after "escort back to Beijing", those four words were about to blurt out, but fortunately, his brain was still there, so he quickly stopped, and said again, "Punish the crime according to the law!" ”
Zhao Rui opened his mouth and was blocked again.
He wanted to refute it, but firstly, it was inconvenient to say it from home, and secondly, what Huang Zhaoliang said was indeed reasonable, with his eloquence, he really couldn't say it, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was almost suffocated from internal injuries.
For a while, he even wanted to blame Gu Yanzhang who was far away in Guangnan.
- The rest is easy to say, only the matter of copying, I know that you are saving money for the imperial court, but you also have to see the time!
Young people are a hot breath, and they don't know how to grasp the big and let go of the small, and they have to do everything to the extreme, so it is inevitable that there will be some negligence! It's just that you are negligent on weekdays, and at this time, so many people in the court are staring, telling me how to help!
Zhao Rui was angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but stare at his head and scold for a long time, but Huang Zhaoliang, who was still full of anger, couldn't help but scold.
- This one is not young, he has been standing for most of the day, spitting and flying, and he is not too thirsty! I don't know how to get tired! Still energetic, what kind of medicine is this!
He held his breath and listened to Huang Zhaoliang's talk, seeing that everyone was pretending to be stupid, he already knew that if he continued to talk about it today, he would not be able to please his own family, and he might be so noisy that he would admit his mistake, so he had to find a gap and interjected: "Huang Qing, this matter can be discussed later." ”
The Son of Heaven personally opened his mouth, which can be regarded as begging for mercy, Huang Zhaoliang is naturally not stupid, he accepted it when he saw it, and closed his mouth.
At this time, he had the upper hand, and he was convinced by the Son of Heaven, and when he talked about it next time, he would naturally have more weight when he spoke.
Whoever will replace Gu Yanzhang, Huang Zhaoliang already has three or four candidates in his heart, just waiting for the Son of Heaven to choose, no matter which one it is, he will not suffer.
Seeing that Huang Zhaoliang closed his mouth, Zhao Rui had no intention of leaving the ministers of these two prefectures here, he looked down at Wang Yi, the prime minister who seemed to not exist.
This time, the prime minister of Dajin, who had been pretending to be stupid for almost an hour, suddenly moved, stepped forward, and led everyone: "If there is nothing else to do, the ministers will retire." ”
Sure enough, he took the lead and went out.
Zhao Rui thought about it, because he was afraid that he would be caught by Huang Zhaoliang tomorrow and said, it is better to make it clear to the other party at this time, so as not to cause another incident, otherwise he will be scolded by the palace when he returns, and he will not be the emperor anymore, so he said: "Huang Qing will stay for the time being." ”
Huang Zhaoliang stood still.
Zhao Rui thought about it in his heart, and said again: "Fan Qing, Sun Qing and stay." ”
Fan Yaochen and Sun Bian also went back to their original places.
After all the ministers left the hall, Zhao Rui ordered to the small yellow door standing aside: "Give the three ministers a seat." ”
The stool moved up for a while, Fan and Sun had not moved, but Huang Zhaoliang stood straight to the side, without the slightest intention of sitting.
Da Shen didn't sit down, so Fan and Sun had to stand aside.
Zhao Rui had no choice but to glance at Zheng Lai on the side.
Zheng Lai took a few small yellow doors and placed the chairs behind the three important ministers, waiting for them to sit when they wanted to.
Zhao Rui looked at Huang Zhaoliang, then at Fan Yaochen, and saw that neither of them had the intention of speaking, so he had to take the initiative to speak: "Huang Qing, Gu Yanzhang went south this time, whether it was in Guangyuan Prefecture or Yongzhou, they all had merit and no fault......
Before he finished speaking, Huang Zhaoliang had already interrupted: "Your Majesty, the world is not the private world of Your Majesty, but the world of the people of the world, and the truth is not what Your Majesty said alone. ”
Zhao Rui was so stalked that a mouthful of old blood almost rolled out of his throat. He was extremely angry, his brain became more and more confused, and he was faintly glad - fortunately, the important ministers of the two prefectures retired first, otherwise the dignified son of heaven would be ridden on the head by the courtiers, what face would he have in the future?
"Gu Yanzhang doesn't care about using the rebels to defend the city, doesn't care about letting go of the criminal Liang Mao, and doesn't care about impeaching the former governor of Yongzhou, even though these are all excusable, the matter of copying is indefensible, and it is difficult to shirk it."
Huang Zhaoliang said as he spoke, and began to get excited again, and said again: "The minister is for the people, Gu Yanzhang does this, and he doesn't have the slightest worry about the country and the people, it's all selfishness. ”
"The minister has ordered the Zhongshu to draft an order, and issued an edict to Guangnan to give relief first, only waiting for His Majesty's consent." Huang Zhaoliang paused, and emphasized word by word, "It will take at least ten months to copy, how can refugees wait!" Tens of thousands of people in Yongzhou, how can he be allowed to disregard people's lives like this? ! When he finishes copying, who knows what the situation will be like in Yongzhou! I thought it was ......"
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he was about to continue, but suddenly he heard someone interjecting on the side-
"Your Majesty, the minister has a word to say."
Huang Zhaoliang was halfway through his sentence, but he was interrupted, frowned and turned his head, but Fan Yaochen, who had not spoken, opened his mouth.
Since Huang Zhaoliang returned to the court, the two have been fighting openly and secretly, and since this year, I don't know how many times they have clashed, but at this time, seeing Fan Yaochen standing up, and with such an expression, Huang Zhaoliang suddenly felt bad in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was not only Huang Zhaoliang, but Zhao Rui was also a little surprised.
But at this time, no matter who it is, as long as he can get him free, Zhao Rui is extremely willing.
He hurriedly said, "Fan Qing, but it's okay to say it. ”
Fan Yaochen took a step forward, turned his head and glanced at Huang Zhaoliang, who was not far from him, then turned around, bowed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, for the rest of the things, Weichen is not in Guangnan, nor has he come to the city in person, it is a bad comment, only that Gu Yanzhang copied the sword, Huang Zhaoliang said that the copying could not be completed in the tenth month, and the minister thought it was inappropriate." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could continue, he was interrupted by Huang Zhaoliang and said: "Stay, you were in the Daimyo Mansion for disaster relief that day, and you did that copying of the displaced people, the total number of displaced people was less than 100,000, how long did it take in total?" ”
Fan Yaochen didn't care about him, but turned to the Son of Heaven and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister was in the Daimyo Mansion that day to provide disaster relief for more than 94,000 displaced people, and he also carried out the work of copying, which took a total of 29 days. ”
Huang Zhaoliang sneered and said: "The ministers who have been appointed as officials for more than ten years are still like this, could it be that Gu Yanzhang, a newcomer who has only been an official for three years, wants to do that copying of more than 57,000 households and more than 200,000 people under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou City, and it doesn't take ten months to complete it?" ”
Although he was asking a question, the meaning of ridicule and contempt in that sentence was already overflowing.
How is that possible?
Everything must be reasonable, from the capital to Yongzhou, it is to replace with a hurry, one person and three horses, day and night, at least it will take more than ten days to arrive, how can it be changed to a messenger of urgency, and the effort will be shortened for more than ten days?
This Fan Yaochen, does he want to show loyalty to the Son of Heaven and think crazy?
Huang Zhaoliang was still thinking about it, but he heard Fan Yaochen already say again: "The minister finished the court this morning, and returned to the government office first, and happened to meet the Yintai Sizhong sent the recitals from all over the place yesterday, among which there were also Yongzhou anxious to send the recitals, at that time, the palace attendants had come to summon the ministers into the palace, so they didn't look closely, but the words were kept in mind. ”
He said as he turned his head to look at Huang Zhaoliang,
Fan Yaochen raised his head and said loudly to Zhao Rui: "Your Majesty, Yongzhou is folded, one hundred and seventy-two villages in twenty-five townships in seven counties in one state, and seventeen square streets in the city, with a total of more than 40,000 households B, C, and Ding, totaling more than 190,000 people, and it took five days in total. ”
After he said this, he proudly glanced at Huang Zhaoliang, who was standing aside, as if he had been struck by lightning, and there was no expression on his face that was already crawling with wrinkles and old age spots, but in that eye, there was a very bright light, as if a three-year-old child snatched the favorite candy of the enemy next door, and swallowed it into his stomach immediately while the other party was not paying attention.
The surname is Huang, you also have this time!
Lao Tzu has been waiting for so long! It's finally here!
