On the Imperial City Avenue, Li Xuan hid an official letter in his sleeve, and walked slowly towards the household side by side with Laisui.

Lai Sui wore a light scarlet official robe, and said very casually: "Yuanzhou, Qinzhou and Xingzhou Ku Cao joined the army and all went to prison, all the doors were copied, and all the records of the three states were dismissed. ”

"So, it's not a big deal?" Li Xuan roughly understood the scale of the case and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It is not uncommon to replace old grain with old grain, the prince has also encountered this kind of thing in Wuzhou and Hezhou, but as long as the old grain in the treasury is enough to ensure the needs of the army or the people, then the situation can still be controlled, not to mention that there is also the family background of the copied Sanzhou Kucao who joined the army, and it can also make up for some of it."

Lai Sui sighed softly, and said helplessly: "That is, this year, the army has moved, and the inspection is rigorous, and these things have been exposed, otherwise, who knows how long these things will be concealed...... It is also my Tang Dynasty that is strong, and if I change to another dynasty, a fire, or directly open the door to lead soldiers into the city, under a plunder, all traces have long been drowned. ”

Li Xuan nodded slightly, the grain depot has always been the hardest hit area of corruption.

Even if you only use last year's old grain in exchange for this year's new grain, it is enough to make a lot of money, not to mention, there are even more ruthless three, six, or even nine years of old grain.

The stakes are huge enough for anyone to get their hands on them.

Li Xuan raised his head, and in front of him was where the household yamen was located.

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "According to the arrangement of the Ministry of War, the last batch of food and salary will be delivered on September 17, this will not be a problem, right?" ”

"All the soldiers and grain trucks of the military department have been prepared, and the rest depends on whether the household department can arrive in time to deliver the food and salary to Chang'an." Lai Sui looked at the door of the household where people came and went, and said calmly: "However, although there is a drought this year, the overall situation has little impact, the important thing is next year, if there is a drought next year, it will ...... again."

"If there is another drought next year, the war must end next autumn." Li Xuan shook his head, his face was ugly, and said: "If you hold Tugu steadily, it's okay, but if you try to take Wuhai, once the consumption of grain and grass passes, it will immediately affect the morale of the front-line soldiers, and when you are anxious, you will be more likely to be taken advantage of by the enemy." ”

Li Xuan can also be regarded as a veteran of half the battlefield, if he knows that his opponent is short of food, he has 10,000 ways to completely kill the opponent.

The same is naturally true for Qinling, if he knows that Datang is short of food, then Li Xuan and them will be in big trouble.

"The only hope is that the household department can transfer more grain, but those people in the household department, when they talk to others, they can't wait to loot all your household funds, but if you want to take something from the household department, you can pick out an extra grain of grain, it's your ability." Lai Sui smiled helplessly, and then took the lead in walking into the household.

"Isn't that the best way to do it, as long as they don't steal from themselves." While speaking, Li Xuan had already followed Lai Sui into the household.

The officials and guards at the entrance of the household department did not stop them in the slightest.

……

In the lobby of the household department, Lai Sui handed the official document to Su Huan, the household servant: "Su Shilang, this is the order of the dispatch of grain and grass and military quarters drawn up by the Ministry of War, please dispatch the household department on time." ”

"You're polite." Su Huan nodded politely to Lai Sui and Li Xuan, and asked them to sit down first, and then sat down to check the food and grass needs of the military department.

After a while, Su Huan couldn't help but shake his head, and said with an embarrassed face: "All the other parties are easy to say, that is, Fu Qi City wants to supply grain and grass for January, and they need to be transferred out in advance, and some places will be disrupted, I am afraid it will be difficult to dispatch them on time." ”

Li Xuan smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, how much can be transferred, the Murong clan won't have too many problems, everything is to ensure the needs of our sergeants." ”

Su Huan looked up in surprise and looked at Li Xuan, Li Xuan's expression was calm, but there were other flavors in the depths of his eyes.

Although Su Huan did not participate in yesterday's small court meeting, he also knew that Li Xuan had a very bad opinion of Tuyuhun.

If he had the opportunity, he would even be eager to include Tuyuhun in the realm of Datang.

However, if all of Tuyuhun is really included in Datang, then the more than 60,000 people of Tuyuhun will also belong to Datang's burden, that is, the household department is responsible.

Su Huan bowed his head lightly at Li Xuan and said, "Don't worry, the household department will do its best." ”

"In this way, I won't bother Su Shilang." Li Xuan stood up and took his leave.

Su Huan also quickly stood up and handed him off: "The next official will send the prince!" ”

"Su Shilang is polite, during this time, Dou Weng is busy with family affairs, and the burden of this household is tired." Li Xuan casually pulled the words to Dou Xuande.

The engagement between the Dou family and the royal family has already spread throughout Chang'an.

The clansmen of the Dou family also rushed to Chang'an from Longxi one after another.

There were a lot of messy things, and even Dou Xuande had to go home to deal with them.

However, people did not spread it much, after all, in the final analysis, it was just a private agreement between the royal family and the Dou family, and the official letter of appointment had not yet been issued.

Li Dan is now in Dunhuang and can't come back at all.

But fortunately, there is three months of free time between Xiaoding and getting married, and at the end of this year, Li Dan will be able to come back.

"There's no way around it, but it's good to wait until you're done." Su Huan stretched out his hand to lead Li Xuan forward, and said at the same time: "The prince is staying in Chang'an, I'm afraid it's also for the sake of marrying the king, right?" ”

"yes!" Li Xuan nodded and said, "Fortunately, everything is calm in Qingnan now, and there is no need to worry about it for ......the time being."

A slap of "snap" came from the official office on the side, and then shouted angrily: "What do you think you are, you have to push back and block the ...... if the official asks you to do things."

"Wang Langzhong, I don't know what a Kurabe Langzhong from the fifth grade is in the eyes of Your Excellency, and he is so humiliated?" Su Huan walked in from outside the door expressionlessly.

A middle-aged official in scarlet clothes who came from his thirties turned back in surprise, and Zuo Shilang was in Wang Benli.

Zuo Shilang, Shangshu Zuo Cheng Deputy Er, assistant in charge of Shangshu Provincial Affairs, supervising the government affairs of officials, households, and the Ministry of Rites, is located in the middle of Zhushilang, from the five products.

Su Huan, the head of the household, is under the fourth grade.

"Su Shilang." Seeing Su Huan walk in with a cold face, Wang Benli's face immediately became ugly, and he was angry in his heart.

Su Huan, Yonghui seven years, seventeen years and Jinshi.

Now in Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Huan is already a household attendant, and the importance of the emperor's trust can be seen.

"Wang Langzhong, this is the household department, not the Shangshu Zuocheng official house, if there is anything unhappy in Wang Langzhong, please go back to Shangshu Province to be angry, instead of messing around in the household department." Su Huan stared at Wang Benli with hatred in his eyes.

The corners of Wang Benli's mouth twitched fiercely, and just as he was about to say something, his gaze immediately swept to Li Xuan and Laisui who were standing at the door of the official house, his expression changed slightly, and then he turned to look at Su Huan and said: "It's the lower official who is confused, and I ask Su Shilang to forgive me." ”

"What happened to make Wang Langzhong so annoyed?" Su Huan's gaze shifted from Wang Benli's body to Kurabe Langzhong and Liu Qi.

Without waiting for Wang Benli to speak, Liu Qi immediately stepped forward and said: "Huiyu Shilang, Dengzhou, Xiangzhou, Guizhou, Sanzhou summer grain cannot be delivered to Chang'an on time, Wang Langzhong asked the household department to give a leniency. ”

"Grace, can't arrive?" Su Huan's brows furrowed instantly, and he asked incomprehensibly: "Why can't it arrive on time, a few days ago, the Sanzhou Assassin sent a letter to ensure that the summer grain was delivered to Chang'an on time, why delay?" ”

Su Huan subconsciously turned his head and looked at Li Xuan at the door, Li Xuan's face was already gloomy.

The transfer of military rations is Li Xuan's responsibility, but his responsibility is also the transfer from Chang'an to Qingnan, before Chang'an, he has no right to govern, but......

"The matter of Xiangzhou, this king can go to the king of Ji, if he can't give a reasonable answer, then Hugh blames this king for impeaching him for the history of Xiangzhou." Li Xuan's voice was very cold, the situation in Qingnan was already very serious, but there were still people dragging their feet, and an evil fire rose in Li Xuan's heart.

"Lord Wang, Su Shilang," Wang Benli hurriedly opened his mouth and explained: "This matter is not a matter of the history of the Sanzhou Thorn, but the improper allocation of Weishui transportation, so the transportation of grain and grass is slow. ”

"Wang Langzhong, if this king remembers well, the transportation of grain and grass is a matter for the states and households...... Zuo Shi Langzhong is responsible for supervising the government affairs of officials, households, and the Ministry of Rites, and does not directly interfere in practice, why, Lang Zhong is interceding for someone? Li Xuan's gaze fell on Liu Qi, who was still red on the left side of his face.

Pleading, how can there be this, the person who pleads will be slapped severely.

"This, this ......" Wang Benli didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Xuan looked at Su Huan and said in a deep voice: "Su Shilang, please make proper arrangements for the transportation of grain and grass, if there is a problem in any link, I am afraid that the entire war in the northwest will be affected, and please report this matter to the king in time, and the king will report to His Majesty." ”

Su Huan immediately replied: "Don't worry, the household department will definitely prepare the food and salary of the army, and there will be no delay." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, and then didn't look at Wang Benli, walked directly towards the outside of the official house, and finally left the household department in full view of countless officials.

……

On the street of the Imperial City, Li Xuan frowned slightly, turned to look at Laisui, and asked, "Brother Lai, who is that Wang Langzhong?" ”

Among Shangshu Zuo Shilang, the official position is not big, but the power is not small, and everyone in the entire six departments except Shangshu and Shilang will bow their heads when they see him.

"Wang Benli was born in the Langya Wang family, and he was originally a noble ruler, but he flattered things with words, and he was pampered and used to run rampant in the court, and the officials did not dare to speak." Lai Sui shook his head slightly, and couldn't help sighing, although this is Zuo Shilangzhong, he is a celebrity around the emperor, who dares to provoke easily.

"Really?" Li Xuan looked at Laisui with some doubts, he always felt that something was wrong.

Maybe it's because he has just experienced the impeachment of Shangshu Zuocheng by the North Gate Scholar before, so he is very sensitive to things related to Shangshu Zuocheng.

It's just that this Wang Benli is Shangshu Zuocheng's deputy.

"But this person is also wanton, a person like him, that old and cunning man, he can't eat and walk around, how can he still be so arrogant until now, Your Majesty has not ...... Your Majesty! Li Xuan's brows furrowed.

Today's Tang Dynasty, although it is not a virtuous dynasty, is still politically clear.

Especially under the rule of Liu Renliang and Dai Zhide in Shangshu Province, the six Shangshu are all extremely capable things, how can they easily allow this kind of person to exist.

Not to mention, there is also the Goshidai.

The people of the North Gate Bachelor are looking for the fault of the prince Li Xian, Wang Benli, a confused guy, if he is not careful, he will be pitted by others and there is no pants left, how can he be so arrogant.

"It's Your Majesty's favoritism, the officials of the court and the central government, as well as the Yushitai, who impeached Wang Benli several times for being arrogant and domineering, but all the twists and turns were left by His Majesty." Lai Sui shook his head helplessly, and said: "Even if Wang Benli can speak, but the ministers of the court, who is not a well-educated person, is more capable of taking care of his family, but on the contrary, he is the most trusted by His Majesty." ”

Li Xuan's brows were still furrowed, and she felt more and more that something was wrong in her heart.

I'm afraid I really have to check this matter.
