Daqian Palace.

Inside the Fengtian Temple.

The empress in a dragon robe sat on the dragon chair.

Although he is twenty-eight years old, his eyes are like an unfathomable pool of water.

When looking forward to it, it shows an elegant and noble temperament, which makes people ashamed of themselves and dare not blaspheme.

In the hall, the civil officials are on the left and the military attaches are on the right, each standing in an orderly manner.

In the column of military attachés, standing at the forefront was Tian Runyu, the imperial lieutenant of the dynasty.

In the column of civil officials, the one standing at the forefront should have been Prime Minister Fang Xiu.

However, Fang Xiu was still in a coma and was unable to attend the court meeting.

This position is empty at the moment!

"Your Majesty, the minister has a book to play!"

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Zhao Zizheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, stood up.

The empress glanced at him and said lightly: "Speak." ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Works bowed and saluted, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the drought in Qingzhou has lasted for more than three months now, and there is no surplus grain in the local granary.

Hundreds of thousands of people have left Qingzhou half a month ago and come to the capital in order to survive!

Count the days, this group of homeless people should be almost in Luonan Mansion by now! ”

The words fell, and there was an uproar in the hall.

"We only knew that there was a drought in Qingzhou, but we didn't know that the drought was so serious!"

"Such a serious drought, why didn't Qingzhou Thorn History report it!"

"Luonan Mansion is only one step away from the capital, and once hundreds of thousands of displaced people mutiny, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Next to the empress, the palace maid took the whip and whipped it hard.

"Silence!"

There was a blast in the air!

The hall was instantly much quieter.

Seeing this, the squire of the Ministry of Works continued: "Your Majesty! The minister thought that the top priority was to appease the displaced people so as not to change!

The minister implored His Majesty to open a warehouse and release grain, and give porridge to the people in Luonan Mansion!

As long as we wait for the autumn harvest and the grain harvest in the state capitals, the crisis can be resolved. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort.

"Humph! Open the warehouse and put the grain, to put it lightly! ”

Qin Xingyan, the head of the household, stood up with a displeased face.

"That's hundreds of thousands of displaced people, even if all the grain in the household department is transported to Luonan Mansion, it can't fill so many mouths!"

The waiter of the Ministry of Works turned his head to look at Qin Xingyan.

"Qin Shangshu, the first two years were the year of Dafeng, and it stands to reason that the granary of the household department is more than enough to deal with hundreds of thousands of displaced people, why is there no food?"

Speaking of this, he paused, and said in a cold voice:

"Isn't it that all these grains have been eaten by Qin Shangshu?"

Qin Xingyan's face was gloomy, he glared at the waiter of the Ministry of Works, and said angrily: "The surname is Zhao, what do you mean by this!" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Industry said indifferently: "The lower official is just curious, the first two years were obviously the year of great abundance, and the grain reserves of the household department should be abundant!"

Now that it is a critical moment, why can't we even get emergency rations for hundreds of thousands of people, and where has the grain stored in the past two years gone! ”

Qin Xingyan held back his anger and said coldly: "This official told you where these stored grains have gone!"

In August of the previous year, the 100,000-strong army of the Zhou State invaded Yongzhou, and the border army was short of grain and grass, so His Majesty ordered to transfer one-third of the stored grain from the household department!

There was not much grain stored in the household department, and after one-third of the grain was transferred, the remaining grain reserves could barely maintain the operation of the capital and the surrounding state capitals.

If it is the warehouse of the account opening department at this time, the hundreds of thousands of displaced people will not starve to death, but you and I will starve to death! ”

His voice had just fallen.

Then I heard a neutral voice among the civil officials.

"Qin Shangshu's words are wrong!

When the first emperor was in Qingzhou, there was also a drought, and at that time, the household opened a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief, but it was very light!

It's only been ten years, why is there so much less grain in the household? ”

When Qin Xingyan heard this, he could no longer contain the anger in his heart, and turned his head to search among the hundred officials.

Zhao Zi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is the empress's person, and it is normal for him to publicly choke in the court.

But besides him, there are still people who dare to oppose themselves!

I really don't want to live anymore!

In the next second, Qin Xingyan saw the face of the person who spoke just now, and the whole person was stunned for a moment.

"It's him!"

It turned out to be Zhang Shuo, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, who spoke!

Qin Xingyan was stunned, not because Zhang Shuo was in a high position.

It's because ......

He's also a member of the Fang Party!

Zhang Shuo is not only a member of the Fang Party, but also a core member of the Fang Party.

At this time, he actually stood up and publicly accused himself.

And he is talking about his embezzlement of grain storage!

This...... What's going on?!

Qin Xingyan subconsciously looked at the vacant position in front of him that originally belonged to Fang Xiu.

He looked at the empress on the dragon chair again.

The empress looked indifferent, and her eyes were full of coldness, as if nothing had happened.

"Something is wrong! Something is going to happen! ”

When Qin Xingyan saw the empress's expression, he instantly felt that his whole body was poured with a basin of cold water!

It's so cold!

Really.

The next second.

Zuodu Yushi stood up and saluted: "Zhang Shuo, the minister of Zuodu Yushi, impeached Qin Xingyan, the secretary of the household department, accepted bribes, and was greedy for grain storage in the household department, and the amount was very large!" ”

In the past, the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached hundreds of civil and military officials, and they all let the imperial history be the vanguard.

This time, it was the Zuo Du Yushi, who was in charge of the Imperial Procuratorate, who stood up directly.

And the person who impeached him is still the head of the party with him!

In an instant, all the civil and military officials smelled the smell of wind and rain.

They subconsciously raised their eyes to look at the empress on the high dragon chair.

Xindao: Your Majesty is going to make a move on the other party!

Now.

Qin Xingyan also felt a little panicked.

Fang Xiang is not there.

Zhang Shuo, the dog thief, defected.

It also coincided with the drought in Qingzhou, and His Majesty was poor and dagger.

I'm afraid that this time I will be more auspicious!

"Qin Qing, what do you have to say?"

The empress's cold voice sounded in the main hall.

Qin Xingyan swallowed and foamed, and said stubbornly: "The stored grain stored in the granary of the household department is all registered, whether the minister is greedy for ink, Your Majesty will know when you check it!"

He has been an official for decades, and he has never accepted bribes, let alone greedy for a penny of food!

The impeachment of Zhang Du Yushi is completely out of nowhere! It's slander! ”

"Humph!"

Zhang Shuo snorted coldly: "Whether it is slander or not, you know it in your own heart!" ”

He took a step forward, saluted again, and said in a loud voice: "Whether Qin Xingyan is greedy for money and food, you will know it after checking, and the minister implores Your Majesty to hand over Qin Xingyan to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation!" The minister must find evidence of his greed for money and food! ”

When Qin Xingyan heard this, he understood that he was more than lucky.

falls into the hands of others, and it is not up to them to decide what to do.

When the time comes, you will be the fish on the board, to be slaughtered!

He glared at Zhang Shuo, gritted his teeth and said, "This official is the head of the household, and he is the second grade!" Even if it is to be investigated, it should be investigated by the three divisions! ”

Among the three divisions.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department is also a core member of the Fang Party.

Qin Xingyan wanted the three divisions to investigate, mainly because he wanted to delay time and wait for the party to repair him.

As he spoke, he gave the Criminal Department Shangshu a look and asked him to play as well.

The criminal department Shangshu didn't seem to see it, but was silent.

Seeing this, Qin Xingyan's heart was a little colder.

Scolding: What a bunch of bitches!

Do you really think that if you pretend to be dead at this time, Your Majesty will let you go in the future?

Amusing!

Without the support of Fang Xiang, you will all be finished in the future!

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhang Shuo sneered in his heart.

Without Fang Xiu, these people would become a plate of loose sand.

Fortunately, I was witty and chose this time to fall to Your Majesty, otherwise I am afraid that I will be like these people and be eliminated by Your Majesty one by one!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and raised his voice again:

"Please give an order to your majesty to hand over Qin Xingyan, the head of the household department, to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for investigation!"

The empress's cold eyes looked around the hall, opened her mouth, and was about to give an order.

Suddenly.

A magnetic voice came from the direction of the main entrance of the main hall.

"Minister, see Your Majesty!"
