176 There is no escape from capital crimes
It is no exaggeration to say that Fang Xing and Yan Yun really slept for a day and a night this time, and they were even reluctant to leave the bed after waking up, and they spent another day and a night in bed before they were willing to get up, but they were frightened by the fact that the two families of them were frightened, and they thought that they had slept to death...
Fang Xing was really tired, especially knowing how many things were waiting for her after leaving the house, she became more and more lazy to move, but she hadn't moved yet, but Bai Yuqi had already led Nanjun Taishou into the palace, if she was Bai Yuqi, she would pull Nanjun Taishou to think about it, whether there was anything else that would be grabbed by the pigtails.
"Are you sure you don't want to contact some courtiers to go with you? It's also good to bring the right picture. ”
"They have nothing to do with it... I'm just going to talk about the Nanjun Taishou, and King Qi won't be punished in any way. ”
Fang Xing's fingers fiddled with the bracelet on his wrist, looking at herself in the mirror who was wearing a unicorn wide-sleeved black robe, her eyes were firm and without a trace of emotion, she wanted Bai Yuqi to understand today that she Fang Xing was not a clay man, and some things had been done, and there was a price to pay.
"Then I'm waiting for the master to come back, I haven't eaten anything in the past two days, and today's lady seems to be making dumplings.."
"Okay."
Nursery rhymes are eaten one by one, and they are still eaten in the words. Fang Xing couldn't help but want to laugh, pulled down the sleeve of his left hand to cover the bracelet on his wrist, and went out of the house directly, and Ding Kuihe of the household department had been waiting for a long time, and thought that Fang Xing was going to take him into the palace to do something big. It's a big deal.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yu and Lord Hubu Shangshuding have arrived."
"Let them in."
In the imperial study, the folds on the table had been stacked high, and the emperor glanced at Gao Li and raised his hand to press on the folds, and then looked at Bai Yuqi and Nanjun Taishou standing in the room, and his face gradually revealed a trace of coldness.
"The ministers see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
"Flat."
The emperor's serious eyes were bottomless, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking, Bai Yuqi originally had a smile on his face, but when he saw Fang Xing's calm eyebrows, he couldn't help but panic a little in his heart...
"Huh? When did Taishou-sama arrive in the capital? ”
"Yesterday, yesterday .. I have come to report to the emperor about the famine."
Bai Yuqi looked at Nanjun Taishou coldly, and replied when he replied, trembling something.. Only Nanjun Taishou also wanted to calm down, but Bai Yuqi was afraid of Fang Xing in his heart, not to mention him, Nanjun is Nanjun, the capital is the capital, and there is an emperor who can take his life at every turn, how can he not be afraid.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, the minister and Lord Ding came today to return to Nanjun for this disaster.."
"Please take a look at the emperor."
Ding Kuihe sneered in his heart, quickly pulled the fold out of his sleeve, and respectfully presented it to Grandpa Gao with both hands, Bai Yuqi didn't know what he was proud of, in fact, Ding Kuihe didn't know... After all, even if Fang Xing sued, the emperor only reprimanded Nanjun Taishou for two sentences, especially now that Nanjun Taishou had already asked for the crime in advance, Fang Xing would be provocative if he said it again.
"Huh? Do you have another plan for compassionate relief? ”
"Yes, the minister asked Lord Ding, and knew that His Royal Highness King Qi's relief after the disaster was nothing more than the distribution of cloth, grain, grain seeds, official salt and a small amount of silver, etc., the minister felt that Nanjun had been hit hard this time, and the situation was far more serious than imagined, so he thought that the surrounding cities and counties of the affected people should be ordered to sell grain at low prices, reduce or reduce taxes, and provide relief for work, etc., which are all written in the excerpt..."
Nanjun Taishou's face changed suddenly, cloudy and uncertain, his eyes were a little erratic, Fang Xing just said three plans lightly, and then blocked all the opportunities he might have to scavenge from the people in the future, this disaster relief is fully managed by Bai Yuqi, no one up and down is greedy for a penny, but it is not necessarily after the disaster, for example, someone makes other cities and counties raise prices or something, and they can still get back the money that was sent, who knows that Fang Xing is so shrewd....
"This... The cash-for-work proposed by His Royal Highness King Yu is a good method, just reduce or reduce taxes, so the loss of the imperial court will inevitably be a little too much."
"Nanjun Taishou is really a good official of our Gu Cang, and he will really think about the imperial court."
The emperor looked at Fang Xing and Nanjun Taishou-for-tat, and his brows couldn't help but turn into a deep Sichuan character, because the plan given by Bai Yuqi was enough for the suffering people, and the treasury would inevitably be tight if he gave grace again.
"Well, this king wants to ask, can Lord Taishou know how many people died in this disaster, and how many people died because of the epidemic?"
"This, this.."
Nanjun Taishou's face turned white instantly, and he glanced at Bai Yuqi with some nervousness, only to see that Bai Yuqi immediately fell into deep thought, in addition to the people below making trouble, Nanjun Taishou did have a mistake in concealing the disaster, and it can be regarded as a trick.
"Scourge and dead?"
"Back to the emperor, 12 people died due to the disaster, and 1,231 people died due to the epidemic."
Ding Kuihe looked at Fang Xing's eyes and reported the number, and sure enough, the emperor's face sank when he heard it, and the royal majesty was fully displayed, and the frightened Nanjun Taishou immediately knelt on the ground, bowing his head and not daring to say anything.
"A thousand .."
"Father, the son agrees with Fang Xing's relief plan, since his father ascended the throne, Gu Cang is only the second time to experience the epidemic, so Taishou has some improper responses, he also knows that he is guilty, and when Fang Xing was in Nanjun, there were people below who made an obstacle, although she put those people to death, Taishou He inevitably made a mistake of negligence, and volunteered to bear the grain consumed by this disaster relief."
Countless thoughts flashed in Bai Yuqi's mind for a moment, and after all, he didn't show the slightest change on his face, Fang Xing was a little tender in the matter of party struggle, and he didn't know what it meant to move his whole body, how many years had he been in this position, how could she be shaken by a few small things?
"This Shicai has already said, since Taishou has already accused, I will not pursue it, Ding Qing will go back and sort out the plan prepared by King Yu and King Qi, and then report it to me."
"Obey."
Ding Kuihe arched his hand and was a little disappointed when he woke up, it was really the so-called thunder and rain, such a little thing made him happy for two days, and he thought that he could help the prince trip Bai Yuqi, but was it just like this? It's better to let the prince do it, contact the right minister and others to impeach, no matter how you say it, it can also make Bai Yuqi hurt his muscles and bones...
"It turns out that Lord Taishou is willing to bear the grain and seed money consumed in this disaster relief, and this king admires the generosity of such a thousand dollars for the imperial court."
"Where, where, where. The income of the lower officials is given by the emperor, and they should share their worries for the emperor, and they dare not get an axe in front of His Royal Highness King Yu, and the two highnesses are the real hard workers."
Nanjun Taishou finally took a breath, facing the domineering Fang Xing's face was gloomy, of course it was Bai Yuqi's next step to give out the money, he was naturally extremely reluctant in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be extremely willing to serve the emperor, who let Fang Xing, a crazy woman, bite him.
"If the emperor has no other orders, the minister will tell you first."
"Wait! Your Majesty, the ministers thought. Nanjun Taishou has a penny for this grain seed, which is not enough to be real.."
Fang Xing's lips showed a subtle sneer, Nanjun Taishou was frightened for a moment, his lips trembled, his posture of retreating froze, he didn't dare to move, his heart was extremely scared, afraid that Fang Xing had found something, otherwise how could he be so confident..
"Fang wake up! Taishou has offended you in Nanjun, but you don't have to hold on to it, my father and emperor have not pursued it."
"Yes, Fang Xing, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Yuqi's arrow-like eyes shot at Fang Xing, only thinking that she was a mad dog, biting a little bit and not telling her mouth, and she was a woman in the end, the court officials didn't have her turn to point fingers like this, and even the emperor couldn't stand it, Fang Xing would not be so abrupt in front of him in the past.
"Lord Taishou, this king gives you a chance, do you say it yourself, or do you want this king to say it?"
"What.. His Majesty doesn't know what His Highness is talking about.."
Nanjun Taishou's face was unpredictable, looking at Fang Xing's eyes that were as clear as water, the sleeves in his hands were about to be crushed, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Fang Xing would find out, after all, he did an excellent precautionary job, even Bai Yuqi didn't know or even notice...
"Okay, Emperor Qi, the minister wants to impeach the Taishou of Nanjun... This is the responsibility he committed, please look at the emperor. ”
"Bring it on!"
The emperor snorted coldly, Gao Li quickly placed a pile of thick paper that Fang Xing pulled out of his sleeve on the emperor's table, seeing that the handwriting printed on the paper seemed to have blood marks, Bai Yuqi's eyes changed in vain, and he turned his head to look at Fang Xing with a complicated expression, if it was said that Nanjun Taishou had been an official for many years, he must have done a lot of troubled things by following the orders of Old Marquis Hu before, but Fang Xing collected these It seems that he came prepared.
"King Qi, can you participate in these things?"
"Father? The sons don't know what their father is talking about, and the sons will not do anything against their father. ”
The emperor waved the paper in front of him, and saw that Bai Yuqi immediately knelt meekly on the ground, a sneer crossed his lips, and he grabbed the tea pot on the table and threw it out, the tea pot smashed through the forehead of Nanjun Taishou and fell to the ground, with a bang, it shattered into two petals, and Taishou's cheek also slipped a trace of blood.
"Fang Xing, tell me how you knew about this."
"Back to the emperor, the minister has been looking for the source of the epidemic, and happened to meet a group of people hiding in the soil cave, they are not within the scope of the epidemic, but because they were infected when they were found to eat everywhere, the ministers ordered the guards to look for it, and found that there were a lot of such victims, the minister was puzzled, although the southern county did not produce much grain for many years, but there was the emperor's response policy, not to the point of starvation, and then he took the guards to check, only to know that he Nanjun was too bold to be too bold, Dare to deceive and secretly increase the tax revenue of the people in many places in Nanjun, and those people have always thought that it is the emperor's will, and they dare not have a trace of complaints! ”
Nanjun Taishou pursed his mouth and didn't say a word, the beads of sweat on his forehead mixed with blood kept flowing down, this imperial study didn't seem to be so hot... Bai Yuqi looked at Fang Xing in shock, his face turned pale, and the whole person froze there, yes, what kind of things did those things that were told by Old Marquis Hu to do, they were directly pushed to the dead Marquis, and the emperor had nothing to do, but this matter! Bai Yuqi didn't even know what charges to use to deceive the king? Fill your pocket? In short, it is an inescapable capital crime.
