Chapter 346: Wind and rain in the court
"What's the play, come quickly." Emperor Renxuan's eyebrows were lowered, and his joy and anger were invisible.
It's just that Zhang Lang heard this, but the corners of his mouth inadvertently outlined a smile.
Immediately, he said in a tone of bitterness and hatred, worrying about the country and the people, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty, it has been half a month since the flood disaster. ”
"Although 300,000 catties of grain is a lot, there are tens of thousands of victims in Canglan County, to say the least, I am afraid that they have been exhausted."
"I'm afraid we're going to have to re-collect food. Mrs. Yang, you said yes, right? ”
Hearing this, Yang Huai's lowered eyebrows frowned slightly, and he nodded, and his tone was unwavering: "The Canglan flood is a top priority, and it is natural to pay close attention to it." ”
"If the disaster situation is allowed to worsen and a few victims die, I am afraid it will cause a mutiny."
"Yang Gong understands the righteousness, and we sigh to ourselves." Zhang Lang was actually on top of this court, bowing deeply towards Yang Huai.
Seeing this, Yang Huai's brows furrowed even tighter.
The officials of the family faction also chuckled in their hearts.
Today's posture seems to be a little bad.
"In order to alleviate the vicissitudes of the disaster, Zhang is not talented, although he is disabled, he is also willing to contribute to the imperial court."
"And I am willing to exhaust my family resources and offer 100,000 catties of food!"
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.
How much is 100,000 catties of grain?
For the imperial court, it is naturally nothing.
But... This 100,000 catties is only from Zhang Lang's family!
If it is the princes in the court, one person is 100,000 catties, then the cumulative amount is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying astronomical number.
Not to mention more, it is more than enough to deal with the vicissitudes of floods.
The most important thing is, what is Zhang Lang's identity?
Tai Lieutenant, one of the Three Princes!
He has donated 100,000 catties of grain, so Yang Huai, as the prince and the princess, is still above Zhang Lang, if he only donates tens of thousands of catties, it is unreasonable to say that he is reasonable.
Mrs. Zhang: This is ...... Roast Mrs. Yang on the fire!
All the officials looked sideways, but they lowered their heads and did not say a word, just waiting for the changes.
Above this court, if you want to talk about political parties, there are still many people in Qingliu and the family.
As for Zhang Lang's family, it is the least.
But even so, they are the most important to ignore!
Because Zhang Lang represents His Majesty!
Therefore, right now, His Majesty wants to break his wrist with Mrs. Yang, and such things cannot be mixed.
At least... Before the bigwigs of their own factions show their attitudes, they must not be mixed.
When Yang Huai heard this, he sneered in his heart, but he didn't rush to answer.
Because...... Wei Qing hasn't expressed his position yet!
In such a major event as disaster control, it stands to reason that Qingliu will indisputably stand with the emperor.
However, there are exceptions to everything.
The exception to this is... Qingliu is too poor!
If you really have money, how can you call it a clear stream?
Except, of course, those who already have money in the family.
Under the pressure of money, even if this group of clear streams wants to stand with His Majesty, I am afraid that they will be powerless.
And Duan Qingyan, the imperial historian, is a family faction, so it is not surprising that he will side with him.
In this way, among the three dukes of the imperial court, plus one duke, among the four people, only Zhang Lang donated money and grain.
Even if you want to set off any waves, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it.
The corners of Yang Huai's mouth slowly hooked, and said: "Taiwei Zhang is willing to donate so much money and food for the sake of the country, which is really a high wind and bright festival, which makes the old man admire it tightly." ”
"It's just that the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials and the head of the three dukes, this exemplary thing should be done by Wei Xiang, Taiwei Zhang, has it exceeded a little?"
"Yes, although we are the same as the three dukes, but the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, Zhang Taiwei bypassed Wei Xiang and expressed his position directly, although the love is commendable, but it is not in line with the etiquette and the law." Imperial Doctor Duan Qingyan frowned, and said, as if he was really sick for Zhang Lang for breaking the court etiquette.
These words, if they came out of Yang Huai and Duan Qingyan's mouths on weekdays, would be really ridiculous.
Let people want to see if the sun is going to hit the west today.
But now, it's just the right time.
Zhang Lang put Yang Huai on the fire to roast under the emperor's instructions, and Yang Huai returned his body with his human way, and through Zhang Lang's fire, Wei Qing, the head of the clear stream, was roasted on the fire.
This quick wit is really staggering.
However, this scene fell in Xiang Longyuan's eyes, but it only made him sneer.
Whether it is the family or Qingliu, they are all the prince's support factions, but they can become like this.
This prince's way of being the emperor can be seen.
When he laughed, he was laughing at the prince.
The prince naturally knew about it, and his face was a little unsightly.
For the heart of the family faction, it is quite cold.
Now is the critical moment for the succession, this group of people claims to be princelings, but they do not show much determination to support themselves, but care about their own interests everywhere.
This kind of behavior really made him feel a little chilled.
Or rather, who needs such supporters?
Not to mention the inner thoughts of the crown prince and King Yuan, in the Qiande Palace, with the words of Taifu Yang Huai, the eyes of the civil and military officials can be said to be all focused on Wei Qing.
His attitude is crucial!
Under the gaze of everyone, Wei Qingyi was not afraid, held his head high, stepped forward, and said: "As Mrs. Yang said, since the minister is the head of the hundred officials, he should set an example and plan for me!" For the livelihood of the world! ”
"Now Canglan County has been hit by floods, and tens of thousands of people have been displaced."
"These are the responsibilities of the ministers!"
"If it weren't for the lack of ability of the ministers, they couldn't cure the water of the Canglan River, why would they cause such a catastrophe every year?"
"Your Majesty is wise, and deliberately set up a donation of money and food, so that I can have the opportunity to atone for my sins!"
"In that case, how dare the sinner shirk it?"
"The criminal minister is willing to take out all his net worth, a total of 110,000 catties of food, and donate it to the imperial court to relieve the disaster!"
Rumble!
As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked!
"Good! Wei Gong Gaoyi! ”
"Good! Wei Gong is really a national soldier! ”
"The white jade pillar of my great dry, the purple gold beam of the sea, is none other than Duke Wei!"
In the midst of the praise of the Qinglius, the faces of the officials of the clan faction became iron-blue.
110,000 catties of grain?
How can he Wei Qing take it?
Could it be that you have accepted bribes?
Yang Huai's eyes were slightly condensed, and he looked at Emperor Renxuan, who was sitting on the dragon chair, the old god was there, as if he was pretending to sleep, and sighed secretly, feeling the trickiness of this matter.
Wei Qing has always been known for being honest and honest, so it is naturally impossible for him to be corrupt and take bribes.
This is his work ethic, and it is the bottom line.
Confucianism pays attention to a self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world!
If you want to govern the country, you must first cultivate yourself!
If you can't manage your own virtues well, how can you manage a country?
This is the truth in the books of the sages, and it has always been regarded as a guideline by these clear streams.
Therefore, even if Wei Qing died, it was impossible to accept bribes.
The only explanation is that the money and food were given to him by someone else.
As for who it is, Yang Huai already knows it.
The money of the Qingliu is returned, and the money of the family is divided into two or eight?
What a calculation!
"Wei Xiang is worthy of being the head of a hundred officials, and for the great cause of my family and country, he can donate so much money and grain."
"It's just... I heard that Wei Xiang has always lived a frugal life, and I don't know where so much money and food comes from. ”
"Strange, really strange!" Yang Huai shook his head, as if he was really thinking about the reason.
When Wei Qing heard this, he didn't smile, and said: "If you are poor, you will think about change, so you naturally have to do something to make a living and improve your life." ”
"Oh! I see, I don't know what Wei Xiang is doing for a living? It is really amazing to be able to earn so much money and food in such a short period of time, and I can't believe it! Duan Qingyan was dumbfounded, with a look of a poor disciple looking at a high-ranking family.
Wei Qing was stared at like this, only feeling disgusted, and his tone was even colder: "What do you have to do with Qing?" ”
"If Duan Yushi thinks that this official has committed corruption and bribery, he can be impeached."
