"The minions are here!"

Father-in-law Leng's follower, the eunuch Xiaofuzi knelt respectfully in front of Chen Zhou.

"Let the dragon guards go to find out which people in the court are notorious corrupt officials, make a list for the palace, and then raid their homes for the palace!"

Xiao Fuzi didn't care how much turmoil this order would cause in the court, he just said respectfully: "Yes!" ”

Leng Yunfeng trembled when he heard this, and he suddenly felt a little lucky, fortunately, he was afraid that he would be caught by Chen Zhou in the past, so he didn't dare to embezzle at all.

Otherwise, wouldn't the dragon guards have broken into his home?

Zhao Han frowned slightly, the corrupt officials are still just small heads, although they can be greedy, but after all, they are still a minority, if they want to solve the flood in Shuinan County, they still have to find a way to solve those businessmen.

Thinking of this, he asked in a deep voice, "Hube Shilang, have you dealt with those merchants?" ”

Hearing this, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Leng Yunfeng's mouth.

"Your Highness, don't you know, this year's war is tight, coupled with the locust plague in the north in the first half of the year, whether it is to raise military rations or disaster relief, we need to buy grain from those big grain merchants."

"However, these grain merchants are in collusion, and they signed purchase contracts with farmers as early as when the grain was not yet ripe, monopolizing ninety percent of the grain purchases in the market at lower prices."

"Then they unscrupulously raised prices, once I also discussed with these grain merchants, I want them to sell some grain to the court at a preferential price, they definitely still have to earn, but these grain merchants do not buy oil and salt, and even in front of Weichen, wantonly increase the price!"

Bang!

Zhao Han slapped the table violently! A cold light flashed in his eyes!

These grain merchants clearly saw the opportunity and made it difficult for the country to make money.

I am afraid that some of the grain they have hoarded has become moldy and rotten in the warehouse, but they still refuse to sell the grain at a lower price, just to choke the necks of the people, so that they can collect money to the greatest extent!

Thinking of this, he sneered: "Very good, Hubu Shilang, you will invite all the big grain merchants in the capital tomorrow, and the palace will hold a banquet to entertain them in the Wenhua Hall at noon tomorrow!" ”

Mandarin Palace?

Leng Yunfeng didn't understand Zhao Han's intentions, Wenhua Hall was the palace used to receive distinguished guests in the palace, and those who were qualified to enter there in the past were envoys from all countries.

Although he didn't understand, Leng Yunfeng still lowered his head obediently and said respectfully: "Yes, Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Looking at Leng Yunfeng, who was about to leave, when he was about to step out of the main hall, Zhao Han suddenly said lightly: "Yunfeng, now that the position of the Hubu Shangshu is vacant, I hope you don't let the palace down!" ”

Leng Yunfeng was overjoyed in his heart, he couldn't hold back his excitement, and thanked him: "Weichen, you will not disappoint His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

After Leng Yunfeng left, Leng Gonggong had also returned from his home.

Zhao Han put down the fold in his hand and asked, "How is it, how is the harvest?" ”

"Your Highness, you have copied a total of 200,000 taels of silver from Chen Zhou's family! 20,000 taels of gold! A number of silk brocades have been put into the treasury. ”

Zhao Han couldn't help but sneered: "Look, Chen Zhou was still crying poor before, but as a result, his family property alone is already worth one-tenth of the current treasury!" ”

"I think if you kill hundreds of and eighty corrupt officials, the flood in Shuinan County will be solved!"

Father-in-law Leng kneaded his shoulders for him and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, these corrupt officials should be killed!" ”

"But when the slave went out of the palace to raid the house today, he also heard something! The eastern vassal state of Hambang sent a mission, which is now in the capital. But strangely, instead of handing over the prayer stickers to see the Holy One, they are secretly visiting the ministers. ”

"Xianbang?"

Zhao Han's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he remembered that it was a small country attached to the Dajiang Dynasty, and the size was only half a county of the Dajiang Empire.

Such a small country, but the New Year's Festival suddenly sent a delegation of envoys, but instead of visiting the Holy Lord, he asked to see the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs?

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Thinking of this, Zhao Han asked, "Then do you know what they asked for when they visited the minister?" ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, I have already asked the dragon guards to investigate, and there will be results soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dragon guard came to pay his respects.

"Your Highness, I have already found out the reason why the Xianbang delegation came to Beijing."

"There was a dispute between Xianbang and the neighboring country, and the envoys of Xianbang came to Beijing to learn the news that His Majesty was seriously ill and His Royal Highness the Prince was in charge of the country, so he met with the civil and military ministers, and wanted them to agree to our Dajiang Empire to send troops to help them occupy the country."

In short, these Xianbang envoys also thought that it was those civil and military ministers who had the final say in the Dajiang Dynasty, not Zhao Han, otherwise they would probably visit Zhao Han as soon as possible.

Zhao Han's brows tightened when he heard this, he didn't care about being despised and angry by the envoys of a small country, but he was a little annoyed.

Now that he has just been in charge of the country, the situation in the capital is tense, and the forces of all parties are waiting for an opportunity to move, but at this time, the Xianbang delegation came over to mix in again!

He said with a headache: "Where are these Xianbang people now?" ”

"Your Highness, these Xianbang people came to the capital half a month ago, and during this time, they have almost visited the homes of various officials and ministers, but only a small number of ministers have met with them."

The dragon guard told the news he found one by one, "Today they went to Lord Ye Huaiye's house, but they were closed, and now they are resting at the post station. ”

Zhao Leng smiled coldly, Ye Huai, this old fox.

He wished that Ye Huai and these Xian Bang would have a relationship, so that he would have an excuse to clean up Ye Huai.

Although there were some regrets, it was not without gain, thinking of this, he ordered: "Father-in-law Leng, you let the people of the Dragon Guard keep an eye on me, to see which people have seen the Xianbang Mission in private, and how many gifts they have received." ”

"In a few days, together with those corrupt officials, we will clean it up!"

"Yes!"

After Father-in-law Leng went down, Zhao Han remembered the emperor who was still recuperating, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

He felt the long-lost fatherly love from the emperor, and now he is very worried about the emperor's health.

Thinking of this, he set up the Longqi Palace, where there are always imperial doctors on standby, in order to take care of the emperor all day long.

As soon as he stepped into Longqi Palace, Zhao Han smelled a very strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, how is my father's health?"

Looking at the unconscious emperor, Zhao Han asked in a low voice.

The senile Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head and sighed: "His Majesty the Emperor's physical condition is not very good, before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, His Majesty can still be awake for a few hours a day. ”

"But now, I'm in a coma almost all day, and I have less and less time to be awake."

"Okay, I got it!"

Zhao Han crouched beside the dragon collapse, holding the emperor's withered and thin hands.

"Imperial Doctor Zhang, as long as you can save your father, no matter how precious the medicine is, as long as you open your mouth, even if you use the strength of the whole country, I will find it for you!"

At that moment, there was a slight noise on the bed.
