Gu Dezhao looked at the envelope in his hand with a solemn face, and looked at his daughter in disbelief.

Gu Jinchao took a sip of tea and said, "Father, don't ask why, it's not easy for my daughter to explain it here." You immediately take this letter to Tongzhou to find Ding Yongmo, the head of Tongcang, and he knows what to do. ”

Gu Dezhao frowned again: "Sister Chao, this matter is about my father's life and death...... How did you get this faith? What's written in it? ”

Jin Chao sighed. Her father was not worried that she should be. After all, the origin of this letter is really suspicious.

She hesitated for a moment, but told her father the origin of the letter. It would be even worse if the father did not know the importance of the letter and instead revealed the information to others.

Gu Dezhao listened to Jin Chao's words and was very surprised: "It turned out to be Lord Chen...... You say he wants to help me because of the origin of Master Wen? ”

Jin Chao said: "Father...... If others know about this, our Gu family will be destroyed. ”

Gu Dezhao nodded to show that he understood. He and Lord Chen have no intersection, but every time they meet, they just salute and greet each other, and Lord Chen always bows his head and never even says a word. Knowing that there was room for maneuver in the matter of disaster relief food, he was relieved, but more confused.

Seeing that it was not early, he didn't ask anything more, and after saying a few words to Gu Erye, he went to Tongzhou on horseback.

On the second day, the granary will be opened.

After Jin Chao went to greet Feng, he returned to Yanxiu Hall and made a few snacks for his father.

Gu Dezhao stayed awake all night, and returned to Daxing after the matter was done, and first arrived at the Yanxiu Hall of the Jin Dynasty.

He took a sip of Guizhi ripe water and said to Jin Chao, "There is no problem...... After reading the letter, Director Ding immediately burned it on the candlestick. Later, he found someone to transport grain overnight, and this time he transported 30,000 stone to deal with the grain for disaster relief. There are still more than 100,000 stones that have been transported many times. "Even if it's only 30,000 stone of grain, it's enough for them to be busy for one night. Fortunately, all the people Ding Yongmo was looking for didn't speak and were bored.

Gu Dezhao still didn't have anything to say, and after Ding Yongmo read the letter, he once said a word to him.

"Lord Chen, help you, this is a big risk. You and Master Chen have a relationship so deep that I didn't see it before. ”

It's quite a set of almost feelings.

Gu Dezhao felt that this was not right, even if there was the origin of Master Wen, Chen Sanye couldn't help him like this. The grain in the warehouse has always been the most important, and what kind of person is Ding Yongmo, 30,000 stone of grain was transported overnight. These are not simple things, if the information is accidentally revealed, Chen Sanye is likely to be suspicious of Lord Zhang.

He felt that the Jin Dynasty still had something to hide from him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

The eldest daughter is a very thoughtful person, and there is always a reason for her not to say it.

After eating snacks, he hurriedly changed into his official clothes, and took a carriage to Daxing Tongcang to prepare to transport grain.

It's snowing heavily.

Chen Yanyun raised his head and glanced out of the fan, and the snow was suddenly overwhelming.

The little guy next to him came up with a big red robe. Chen Yanyun took a sip and asked, "Has the Seventh Young Master been here?" ”

The little servant replied respectfully: "I came once, and when I saw you asleep, I went back first, saying that I would come over in the afternoon and ask you about the craft." ”

Chen Yanyun discussed with Second Master Chen for a long time last night, and it was already late when he came back to rest.

Chen Yanyun snorted: "Let him not have to come over, go and ask his third uncle about the craft." Then I gave him the cloak of the white fox skin, and although there was no fire in his study, it was always warm. "The children of the Chen family can't be pampered, and he himself has never used a fire, and he sleeps on a cold kang and a thin bedding in winter.

The little guy promised to do it.

The north wind was blowing heavy snow outside the fan, but there was only a leaking sound in the study.

Chen Sanye put down the scroll and stood up, walked to the fan, and quietly watched the heavy snow.

The heavy curtain was opened by Chen Yi, and he walked in a few steps. whispered in Chen Sanye's ear, "Third Master, someone from the capital has passed the word." ”

Zhang Julian sent someone to invite him to the cabinet.

Chen Yanyun smiled: "Prepare the carriage." ”

As the most powerful place, the cabinet looks really unremarkable. It is located in the Zuoshun Gate, on the west side of the Wenhua Palace, and inside is the celebrant of ceremonies.

There is a long book case in the lobby, and there are six black lacquered Taishi chairs on both sides. Hang the brown dark pattern cocoon silk curtain tent, and hang a plaque of 'virtuous and classic' on it, and four ever-bright lamps painted with eight immortals over the sea in six directions.

Now the four lights are on.

Chen Sanye braved the wind and snow to step into the cabinet hall, and a guard closed the door of the lobby. He greeted the two ministers, and then sat on the first Taishi chair on his left hand, next to Wang Xuanfan, who had a blue face, and Liang Lin, a slightly chubby scholar of the Huagai Temple, who was wearing an official green robe.

The person standing in front of the long case said: "Yanyun, you should also buy a house in Beijing." The snow is heavy, and it is too inconvenient to travel from Wanping. ”

This person wears a round-necked robe with a crane pattern on the right side, and a jade leather belt used by a first-class master at the waist. He is of medium height, with slender and bright eyes, as if he is an ordinary old man. But the long eyebrows are rich, and the appearance of staring at people is not angry and arrogant.

Chen Yanyun smiled and said: "Xiaguan doesn't like to go to lively places, I feel that the capital is noisy, and Wanping is cleaner and more livable." ”

Master Zhang immediately said: "Your temperament is just a little lighter. It's too clean around me. ”

After he said this, he casually stretched out his hand, and the editor next to him immediately handed him a red pen.

Feng Chengshan, the eunuch of the celebrant Bingbi, was sitting next to him drinking tea, and when he saw this, he put down the teacup and said with a smile: "...... The emperor's meaning, our family has also made it clear. If Master Zhang is fine, we will leave first if we still have errands to do. ”

Master Zhang glanced up at Feng Chengshan, Zhu Pen marked the red on the chapter, and said unhurriedly: "I want to ask Gonggong Feng to report to the emperor, and the old man will go to see him at night." "Master Zhang served as an imperial teacher, and was later succeeded by Chen Yanyun after entering the cabinet.

Feng Chengshan's smile froze, and then he left.

Zhang Dacai put down the pen and said without seeing sadness and joy: "The Daxing Tongcang has been opened, and now 120,000 stone of grain has been transported from the Baodi Canal to Shanxi. Let's also allocate the disaster relief money of your household department first, and it is important to provide disaster relief first. He also said to Wang Xuanfan, "The Ministry of Industry has slowed down the dredging of the river in advance, the harvest was not good last year, the court reduced taxes, and now the treasury is empty, and it is really not the time to build water conservancy." ”

Wang Xuanfan immediately stood up and arched his hand: "Xiaguan...... Sun Shitao is still in Xiaguan's place, if Lord Zhang needs it, Xiaguan will immediately let Sun Shitao die at home. ”

Even if the Gu family is excluded, it doesn't matter to Changxing Houfu at all.

Wang Xuanfan said in a low voice: "This matter is not unusual, it must be that the Marquis Mansion of Changxing secretly helped the Gu family, otherwise the deficit of 200,000 grains in Daxing would not be able to be filled at all." The lower officials were also negligent, and they didn't send anyone to pay attention to Daxing's moves......"

Master Zhang glanced at him coldly, "How can Chang Xinghou help the Gu family?" Can they conjure up 200,000 stone of grain out of thin air? Besides, just for the sake of the family, they will not use the grain of the thousands of battalion warehouses. This matter is indeed your fault, you don't have to rush to admit your mistake, it is just the time of the Chinese New Year, you give me a good idea at home and then talk about it. ”

Wang Xuanfan kept answering the promise and raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat.

Liang Lin also stood up and arched his hand: "Lord Zhang, this matter is not without room for maneuver, but the lower officials have a clumsy plan." ”

It was at this time that Jiang Yan let the guards pass the word that there was something important to report to Chen Yanyun.

Chen Yanyun walked out of the cabinet hall, it was already dark outside, and the snow was still falling.

Jiang Yan handed Chen Yanyun a letter, "Third Master...... Something went wrong. ”

Chen Yanyun opened the envelope and looked at it, then closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Yuan Zhongru committed suicide.

There is not only an autopsy record in it, but also a suicide note left by Yuan Zhongru.

"It's this morning, and the girl went into the study to clean up...... I found Lord Yuan hanging on the beam. When they put it down, they were all stiff, they should have hanged themselves late last night. He also left a suicide note. When our people in Shanxi got the news, they immediately passed over, and they also had a suicide note. ”

Yuan Zhongru knew that he had to die, even if he could escape this time, he wouldn't be able to escape in the future, it would be better to die cleanly.

Shanxi was in a famine, the people were displaced, and selling children and girls abounded. In his suicide note, he said that he was very sad and desperate, because Master Zhang wanted him to die, but it affected hundreds of thousands of people in Shanxi, and he tried to transport grain from Yicang in Shaanxi and Shandong, but it could not solve the problem at all. Seeing that the famine is getting more and more serious, food prices have soared all the way, and even reached as much as 100 times the price of parity.

Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather.

If he wants to die in a political struggle, it is better to die for the sake of the people.

"I heard that Lord Yuan was drinking with his staff before he died, and he once said, 'It's better to die, at least let Zhang Julian let Shanxi go'......" Jiang Yan's voice was extremely low, "After Lord Yuan died, the people of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province cried when they heard it, and even spontaneously dressed the whole city in linen to mourn, and the old people and children all went out to give Lord Yuan a funeral. It's useless to send officers and soldiers to expel them......"

He originally thought that Yuan Zhongru was also calculating, greedy for life and afraid of death. It turns out that people are righteous when they are righteous.

Chen Yanyun didn't say anything, put the letter in the envelope, turned around and walked into the cabinet hall.

Chen Yanyun walked to Master Zhang's side, whispered a word, and handed him the letter again. Master Zhang's eyebrows frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything to open the envelope, Liang Lin and Wang Xuanfan both looked at Chen Yanyun, and they didn't know what was going on.

After reading it, Master Zhang closed the letter, but he still couldn't see the joy or sorrow, but said to Liang Lin and Wang Xuanfan: "You go down first, there is no need to talk about this matter." ”

Liang Lin and Wang Xuanfan looked at each other, and finally exited the cabinet hall.

Lord Zhang called Chen Yanyun to speak: "Since he is dead, let's intercept the transportation and move the millet to the people, which can also be faster than the canal." In addition, from Shandong, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangxi, the treasury silver was used to buy grain, and it was transported to Pingguang, the governor of Suzhou and Zhejiang, to curb the rise in grain prices. The body will be transported back to Beijing, and his family will see him for the last time. Yuan Zhongru hanged himself, looking for a way to calm the people's hearts. ”

Chen Yanyun responded: "The lower officials know. He turned to leave.

Master Zhang stopped him: "...... Yan Yun. ”

Chen Yanyun turned around, Lord Zhang's eyes fell on him, and after a long time, he said, "I have always wanted to promote you, you should understand everything." ”

Chen Yanyun smiled: "Naturally." ”

He knew in his heart that
