1648 Who's in Charge (4)
The words of the criminal department Shangshu made everyone stunned, he glanced at everyone and said: "But what really made the fire burn was those wooden barrels, I heard the Ministry of Rites Shangshu say that yesterday, when the envoys of the Northern Desert entered Beijing to send the New Year's offering, they all used one-person-high wooden barrels to fill things, those things were heavy, and it seemed that they were full of real objects, but when I checked the scene today, there were still some wooden barrels that were not completely burned, and there was nothing else in them except a little ash, so I speculated that the outside of those wooden barrels may have piled up the New Year's offerings." , but the inside is empty, and such a large barrel, it is not difficult to fit a person into it. ”
Hearing this, Razaha was shocked, although he had already thought that those wooden barrels might not burn out, but he did not expect that he would let the Criminal Department Shangshu find out these things today, and his heart was suddenly full of uneasiness.
He frowned and said, "Could it be that someone from the Ministry of Rites moved the things inside!" When I brought in, it was full. ”
"Really?" Jing Ye glanced at Lazaha obliquely and said, "So, don't I need to thank you so much for sending so many wooden barrels from afar?" ”
Lazaha had to bite the bullet at this time and said: "The prince is polite, no matter what, today's incident really has something to do with me, but I also ask the prince to see that for the sake of my country's friendship with Daye, the prince should not take this matter to heart." ”
Qin Chaimeng said angrily: "Let the prince not take this matter to heart? Millions of catties of rice, do you think it's just a load of firewood? Is it burned if it is burned? If so, please ask your country to get hundreds of thousands of catties of rice to come to my Daye, and let me burn it too! ”
Lazaha glanced at Qin Chasing Meng, when he was in the Northern Desert, he heard that Daye's right minister was an extremely stingy person, and he attached great importance to silver money on weekdays, but he was not the kind of person who coveted wealth and nobility.
He saw that Qin Chaimeng was full of anger at this time, and he didn't talk back to Qin Chaimeng at the moment, but just raised his head slightly and said: "This matter has become like this now, it is really our fault, but it is not as serious as Qin Xiang said......"
"Those rice can't be burned for nothing." Jing Ye directly interrupted Razaha's words and made his position and attitude clear.
Lazaha was also stunned for a moment when she heard Jing Ye's words, and immediately had to ask: "Then according to the prince's meaning, how should this matter be handled?" My Northern Desert does not produce rice grain, so it is impossible to pay so much rice grain to Daye. ”
"If you don't have so much rice, then you can pay the same amount of gold and silver." Qin Chasing dreams was on the side.
Jing Ye snorted coldly and said: "Rice grains look worthless on weekdays, but if we don't have those rice grains, I'm afraid we will all starve to death, besides, those rice grains are still big and useful to this king, how can we easily lose some money?" ”
As soon as Jing Ye's attitude showed this, Razaha couldn't help frowning, he looked at Jing Ye and said, "According to the meaning of the prince, is it impossible for us to compensate for the corresponding amount of rice grain?" I've already apologized to the prince......"
Before he could speak, Chu Yunzheng had already slapped Lazaha's face, he saw Lazaha's eyes widen angrily looking at him, he said unhurriedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my hand just now, it couldn't help but hit your envoy, I apologize to your envoy, and please don't take it to heart." ”
