In the fifth year of the great cause, on the eighteenth day of the first month, Yang Guang set off to return to Beijing.

From leaving Beijing to returning to Beijing, almost a year, Yang Guang took 500,000 people to almost half of the north, there is really no emperor in history who likes to patrol as much as him, but I have to say that the emperor's tour is a good thing, but Yang Guang's tour is not.

The original intention of the patrol should be to inspect local government affairs and civil affairs in order to picket and rectify, but Yang Guang's patrol is to eat, drink and have fun, and consume local finances.

He ignored the original meaning of "patrol" and enhanced the color of "luck".

Before leaving, Dugu Feng'er recommended a person to Pei Shuying, Zheng Anrao, she hoped that Pei Shuying would be able to cover the other party in Beijing in the future.

Although Zheng Anrao has a backstage, and the backstage is not small, it cannot be compared with Yang Ming after all.

Dugu Feng'er herself would not leave, and although Dugu Su wanted to send someone to tie her back to Beijing, she still didn't do it in the end.

Yang Jun was also taken away, and he also knew in his heart that Hebei's accounts had not been settled, and he could not return to Luoyang.

500,000 people, through Tongguan, returned to Beijing Daxing.

Originally, everyone thought that with the emperor's energy, a court meeting would be held the next day after returning to Beijing, but in fact there was not, Yang Guang excused himself that he was tired from the journey, and he stopped the court for three days, and did not even summon any officials.

But everyone knew in their hearts that the storm was just three days away.

Today's Qin Wangfu is full of elders, and there are more than 20 of them above the third grade.

Everyone has nothing to shy away from now, because they all know in their hearts whether Yang Ming can be the prince or not, that is, it is a matter of the past few days.

Yang Yinjiang, who became the concubine again, also appeared in the meeting, she didn't plan to participate in the meeting, but Yang Ming wanted her to come.

Because of Yang Yinjiang's presence, Hongnong Yang took a reassuring pill and had a backbone, and he would work even harder in the decisive battle.

Therefore, Pei Shuying is also there, because the family behind the family is also very hard.

In the center of the hall, there was a pile of dossiers and private letters, on which were all Yang Yin's accusations.

Yang Ming didn't directly introduce the topic at first, but asked everyone to take a look at those dossier letters.

"Those of them were copied from the province under the door, and the original ones are still in the palace, and I think Your Majesty will see them in the next few days," Yang Ming said: "Everyone should also take a look and tell us what you think." ”

The stack of letters that were brought to Su Wei were all from Qinghe Cui's family, and after Su Wei read them carefully, he was silent.

He could guess that the Qinghe Cui family was already on Yang Ming's side now, and the content of these letters was scolded more ruthlessly than the other, after all, the old Cui family was really hurting this time.

People often say that the most fearful thing in life is to have both people and money, and this is the situation of the Cui family at the moment, most of the wealth has been looted, and people have lost a lot because of local rebellions.

There are even side branches of the family that were directly killed by the homeless people and cut off the incense.

But Su Wei also knew in his heart that most of these letters were exaggerated, and the loss of the Qinghe Cui family was definitely not as serious as they said.

If it is really so serious, the rebel will not be surnamed Gao, but Cui.

And the Cui family's reaction this time was probably to choose to take sides, completely betting on Yang Ming.

Time passed, and people in the hall began to cry.

Among them, the biggest official position is the new Nei Shi Ling Lu Chu, who is from Hebei, and the content of these files and letters is a record of the tragic events that happened in Hebei last year.

Don't think that people are really sad, but most of the officials who can achieve more than five grades are already cold-blooded animals, and the dead son is not necessarily sad, not to mention that it is the hometown who dies.

Those who really serve the country and the people in their hearts, Gao Xi counts as one, Niu Hong counts as one, and the others are all very choking.

When people cry, it's just pretending, which means that I'm soft-hearted, affectionate, and sympathetic to my hometown fathers.

The people sitting here today are all ruthless, and no one will believe him when he comes out.

But Lu Chu still said: "The crime is extremely evil, the crime is extremely evil........

As for who he was scolding, he didn't dare to say it himself, if he was scolding Yan Bi, with his current level, he could name him.

Yan Bi is sitting down there now, what can you do if you scold him?

In Yang Ming's mind at this time, an idiom suddenly came to mind: it is difficult to write a book.

This idiom has not yet been invented, because the originator is Li Mi.

The original words are: The bamboo of the South Mountain, the crime of the book is not exhausted, the waves of the East China Sea are broken, and the evil is inexhaustible, and this sentence scolds Comrade Yang Guang.

In today's deliberation, because there are too many people and too many people, the real elders will not reveal their true thoughts in their hearts, but will talk about things and say some vain complaints about the file in front of them.

Gao Xi sat on the left side, frowned at Yan Bi at this time, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm afraid you can't get out of it this time, you are the canal eunuch, Hebei has become like this, Yan Gong can prepare for the future."

He deliberately intimidated the other party, because Gao Xi knew that Yan Bi must be afraid of death, and he didn't want to take the blame, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to Zhuo County early, if Yan Bi wanted to get rid of the involvement, there was only one way, and that was to push all the charges on Yang Yun.

Gao Xi wants to force him down this road, if you don't sue Yang Jin, you will die, but if you sue you, there will be a glimmer of life, you choose for yourself.

Yan Bi had already made a special choice, and he took the initiative to come to the Qin Palace's mansion this time to ask for refuge.

He has already suffered a big loss in his life, and he will definitely not be able to withstand it again.

As early as the Kaihuang period, Yan Bi did Yang Yong's crown prince Zongwei led the long history, and later Yang Yong was deposed, he was implicated, received a hundred rods, and was assigned to Yang Su's slave and maid together with his wife.

Yang Su is really awesome, he didn't treat Yan Bi harshly, but kept helping the other party speak, so that two years later, Yan Bi first changed from a slave to a commoner, and after Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he was recommended by Yang Su to go to the Ministry of Industry, which can be regarded as surviving this catastrophe.

In front of so many people, Yan Bi will definitely not express his position, just a taste:

"It's hard to get away with it, it's hard to get away with it......."

Pei Ju guessed what kind of medicine was sold in the high-boiled gourd, and said directly:

"It's just a preliminary estimate that the death toll in Hebei has reached 600,000 people, not to mention that Yan Gong is a positive third product, even if it is a positive first product, it can't stand this crime."

Yan Bi broke out in a cold sweat, you two did it on purpose, right? Don't you think I'm timid enough?

"It's hard to get away with it....... It's hard to blame......." he still said that.

This is the wise man, sin, I confess, but don't expect me to carry it alone.

At this time, only listening to the sound of "pop", Niu Hong slapped the file in his hand on the long table in front of him, his old face was flushed, and he was holding his stomach at a glance, but he didn't say anything.

When the official comes to his part, he really can't talk nonsense, and every word needs to be considered.

Niu Hong is really going crazy, the construction of the north-south canal was originally in Hebei, Henan, Shanxi, Shandong has not yet recovered, and the project was barely started, the situation at that time has been decided, the project can only be taken slowly, in order to minimize the loss, if the project Yang Jian does not intervene, it will not be like now so many people died, but also led to a rebellion in several counties.

"Hebei is no longer appeased, I am afraid that the population will decline sharply, which will be unfavorable to the country and the people," Niu Hong sighed.

Yang Yinjiang said: "Regarding the matter of pacifying Hebei, the King of Qin has already played a note, and asked His Majesty to exempt slaves and maids from granting land in Yizhou, Jingzhou, Southwest and other places, and collect the taxes of the acres of land and pay all the taxes of Hebei, and the goods transported by Jiangnan through the canal will also be sold to Hebei first. ”

This policy is completely aimed at the family, and smart people have long seen that the emperor is using a drag-knife strategy, saying that it is two years, but two years later, it will be two years.

According to the emperor's large-scale construction, I am afraid that this policy will not change in the end, and it will naturally become a permanent policy in the long run.

At present, these people in the hall, the family has basically eaten this policy, because most of them are northerners.

As the saying goes, we have all exempted ourselves from the inequality of the few, and other places should indeed be exempted.

So Niu Hong agreed: "King Qin's good policy, it seems that there is only this way at the moment, just Shu and Jingzhou, if you go all out to help Hebei, Hebei can be restored in less than three years." ”

"It is difficult to quench the thirst of the near water," Pei Ju frowned: "This policy, it sounds absolutely feasible, but it is actually difficult, whether the excess taxes collected from Shu and Jingzhou can really be used in Hebei, it is not yet known, the annual expenditure of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the budget at the beginning of the year, half of the difference, how to use the money, where to use it?" It depends on the current situation, not on our assumptions. ”

"Isn't it okay to use the money for the exclusive purpose?" Niu Hong frowned.

Theoretically, it works, but it doesn't work in practice, Pei Ju can't say it clearly, the emperor is going to tour the west, and he plans to repair Chi Road, do you think this money can really be used in Hebei?

Pei Ju could only say: "It's best to discuss a policy that can really benefit Hebei, for example, the princess just said that the goods in Jiangnan can be supplied to Hebei first, and we can add another one on top of this to allow Hebei to pay on credit." ”

Niu Hong was stunned and said: "This move treats the symptoms but not the root cause, the imperial court still owes Hebei, and now you let the family owe the debt?" I'm afraid it doesn't make sense, right? ”

"Correct Niu Gong, it is the King of Qi who owes the debt, not the imperial court, and the imperial court has not borrowed grain from Hebei," Pei Ju said with a smile.

It's so ruthless, what do you want to do? Niu Hong instantly understood, do you want to rely on Hebei's account?

Yang Jun: What will he use to repay the debt? Don't you have to rely on the treasury? Niu Hong was already extremely angry, and the green tendons on his forehead burst out.

At this time, Yang Ming finally spoke:

"This policy is not very appropriate, it needs to be discussed, Hebei's money still has to be repaid, as for how to appease Hebei, everyone will think about it in private, and when the court meeting is held, we will discuss it well."

As soon as Yang Ming said this, Niu Hong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief:

"It is impractical to exempt Hebei from paying taxes, but now that the two canals have been opened one after another, maybe we can let Hebei really enjoy the benefits of this river."

Yang Ming nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, focusing on Caoyun, supplemented by policies, is the key to pacifying Hebei." ”
