At present, the eyes of everyone in the palace are looking at Yan Bi, including the Qi Wang Party led by Yang Xuan.

They had already discussed it here, Hebei was making too much trouble this time, and it was impossible to hide from it, so they had to find someone to share the blame in order to minimize Yang Yun's losses.

As a prince, small sins are not painful, and it will be okay to survive the limelight.

Yan Bi couldn't wait for the emperor's personal inquiry, but he also knew that the emperor was waiting for his reply, so he took a deep breath and stood up and said:

"The north-south canal, the key is to end in the north and south, the Luoyang section, when the Tongji Canal was built, the water diversion channel has been completed, there is no need to worry, but the water system of Zhuo County is complex, and the minister is afraid of making mistakes, so after discussing with the king of Qi in advance, he went to Zhuo County to supervise the Haihe River to divert water, why so many things happened during the period, the minister really does not know."

"You don't know, who knows?" Laihu'er stood up and said: "Your Majesty took hundreds of officials to the north, and the affairs of the canal were handed over to you, and the requisition of the people and the food were all under your control, and you couldn't rely on others." ”

What the hell am I ....... You want to kill me? Yan Bi does not come to protect the child, and says directly:

"Who told you that I was in charge of the requisition of men and food? I am a canal eunuch, that is, to repair the river for His Majesty, if I can't build the river, the sin lies with me, and now that the river has been repaired, you don't want to deduct the rest from me. ”

His wife is Princess Qingdu, the daughter of Yuwen Yong, and the sister of Yang Lihua's husband, so Yan Bi is covered by Yang Lihua.

Everyone is from a family, who doesn't have a backstage?

Yu Wenshu was still sitting, and said: "The matter of requisitioning and transferring the people's husband was originally under the control of the Ministry of People's Affairs, but the old man also gave power to Yan Gong, as for what you do, I don't know here." ”

"How do I do you don't know? Xu Guogong is really good at pretending to be a lake," Yan Bi sneered: "Then I will make it clear in front of His Majesty today, I have not recruited a man here, I can only repair the river." ”

"You didn't build the river, did you?" Wei Jin, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said: "Yongji Canal is 1,900 miles, and you have built a section of Zhuo County, is there a total of 300 miles?" ”

Yan Bi was speechless for a moment.

Wei Jin struck while the iron was hot and continued: "You are the chief eunuch of the canal, but you ran to Zhuo County at the beginning, and the king of Qi was overstretched, and you became a sewing maker, what happened?" Most of the river was repaired by the king of Qi, if it wasn't dragged down by you, why would Hebei be here? ”

Yan Bi was immediately furious: "Be a man and leave a line, don't push me too much." ”

Wei Jin was stunned, indeed, you can't force this old boy too hard, otherwise once some things that shouldn't be said are poked out, it won't end well.

Let him share the guilt, but it is not for the family to bear all the guilt, and the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry.

It's okay, you don't arch the fire, there are those who arch the fire.

Gao Xi looked at Yan Bi and said, "There are millions of dead and injured people in Hebei, can Yan Gong's head be topped?" ”

Yan Bi shuddered.

"Tell the word!" Yuwen Shu said directly: "Dugu Gong, you also followed Your Majesty to the north, how many people died in Hebei, where did you know?" Millions? How dare you say it. ”

Wei Zheng, who changed from the protagonist to a spectator for a while, has also reacted now, why did I appear in order to lead to an opening?

Are you using me as a pawn, fighting between the two parties? Am I useless?

I only listened to Gao Xi said: "Gao didn't dare to bully the king, when he first returned to Beijing, the old man was in the palace of King Qin, and saw all the files in Hebei, these files are all when King Qin was in charge of Beijing, Hebei magistrates, and the letters of complaints from various families, Xu Guogong wants to know who they are suing?" ”

Yu Wenshu sneered: "Since it is something I saw in the Qin Palace, it must be to sue the King of Qi, if it is to sue others, it is unreasonable." ”

"How unreasonable?" High Flame Road.

Yuwen Shu said in a deep voice: "King Qin is dissatisfied with King Qi, it's not a day, I know what you want to do today?" Don't you just want to blame the King of Qi for everything in Hebei? What is the rationale for this? King Qin didn't do anything in Beijing, but he was the King of Qi who worked tirelessly to supervise the canal in front, and was caught by you making a fuss about some omissions, Dugu Gongming said, aren't you just in love with King Qin and want to support people to enter the East Palace? ”

His remarks were tantamount to elevating the matter to the battle for the storage position, so as to reduce the impact of the Hebei incident on Yang Jun.

Meaning, Yang Jun is not much at fault, but you want to get him down, so you use the topic to play.

Gao Xi looked at Yang Ming and said, "All of you who are doing it, many of you haven't read those files yet, King Qin might as well let people send them in and let everyone take a look." ”

Yang Ming looked up at Yang Guang and said, "Erchen has already been brought into the palace, originally sent to Menxia Province, and then the emperor will visit the palace when his father is free, is it appropriate at the moment?" ”

Of course, Yang Guang will let him bring things in, because he wants to solve everything today.

"Send it in."

After a while, the dossier, which had been piled up into a small mountain, was carried into the main hall.

Everyone's face was ugly.

Because everyone knows that these dossiers are made up of the white bones of the people of Hebei.

In the main hall at present, there are a total of 378 officials, and it is very time-consuming for everyone to circulate, but Yang Guang still asked each of them to take a look.

Gradually, there were already cries in the temple.

The tragic situation in Hebei is not something that can be described by a letter or a letter, but these words can take you into a scene, a hell on earth that is devastated, devastated and starved.

The internal history made Lu Chu hug his head and cry, a handful of snot and a handful of tears.

He may not be the kind of person who is sympathetic to the people, but he is a wanderer who always misses his hometown, and every mountain, river, grass and tree are all the hometown scenes that haunt his dreams.

Cui Hongsheng couldn't bear to look at it anymore, but after closing his eyes for a long time, he couldn't help but pick it up and look at it again.

Officials in ancient China had a habit of being born wherever they were born, and once they were developed, they would inevitably benefit their hometown.

Because for them, hometown is a rope that pulls the returnees thousands of miles away.

Everyone hasn't finished reading it yet, Yuwenshu decided to strike first, and directly shot a few shots, and angrily reprimanded:

"These brutes, they should be killed!"

Su Wei was stunned and said, "Who is Xu Guogong talking about?" ”

Yuwen Shu was furious, and his chest rose and fell sharply:

"This time the Ministry of Civil Affairs is to blame, as the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I am willing to bear the fault, the officials sent by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to Hebei to be responsible for the requisition, can not run, the local officials are even more derelict in their duties, and those families who refuse to borrow grain should also be punished, how can these beasts be so messy below?"

After that, Yuwen Shu said to Yang Guang: "The minister asked to take Wu'an too much to guard Chen Junbin, Hejian too to guard Yang Wanshi, Bohai too to guard Gao Shengdao, and Xindu too to guard Cui Hongjun, ask him about the crime of dereliction of duty, and then send Hebei inspection envoys to investigate and deal with the grain merchants who misled the country and the moths that hoarded." ”

Pulling in so many people in one go, and also pulling himself in, Yu Wenshu is determined to let more people help Yang Yong to take the blame.

As long as Yang Jun can be saved, everything else is a trivial matter, and if Yang Jun can't be saved, everyone will be finished.

Pei Ju asked: "Who are the people sent to Hebei by the Ministry of Civil Affairs?" ”

Yuwen recounted: "Wei Yijie and Wei Fusi of the Household Division. ”

Pei Ju nodded, looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty might as well summon the two of them in for questioning." ”

Yang Guang didn't say anything, just nodded.

Next, two top pots come in.

The two cousins knelt in the center of the hall, waiting for questioning.

In private, the family also greeted them and helped Yang Jian to top the top, the crime would not be big, at most it would be dereliction of duty, and try to push the responsibility on those magistrates.

Pushing down layer by layer, more and more people are involved, and the emperor's punishment will become lighter and lighter.

Yang Guang asked, "What are you two doing in Hebei?" ”

With the family behind him as a guarantor, Wei Fusi knew that he would definitely not die, but he still instinctively swallowed his saliva and said:

"The minister was ordered by Shangshu to be responsible for the recruitment of civil husbands in Hebei, and the specific number of requisitions was also negotiated by the ministry, and the officials below were many rejections, but under the minister's repeated maneuvers, they still supplied the canal in full to ensure the use of civil power for the project, as for why it became like this, the minister did not know much."

Another Wai Jie added:

"The canal is the national policy of my Great Sui, the minister knows that such a major event is urgent, and he runs in Hebei only to urge the local supply to ensure supply, how do I know that there will be a civil uprising, the people's misunderstanding of the national policy comes from the inaction of the local officials, coupled with the instigation of thieves behind it, so that the matter is big."

Yang Wensi sneered and said: "After the incident came out, it was all up to these local officials to press, you two are good, push the matter on others, it's not that you are persecuting too hard, will they do this?" ”

Wei Fusi raised his head and said: "We are also ordered to do things, everyone is for the canal, to appease the local people, but it is not our duty, the same people and food, how can some counties be fine, and some will have accidents?" ”

"Nothing happened?" Niu Hong pointed to the pile of dossiers in the hall and said, "You two take a good look, pick one, and see which county in Hebei has no dead people." ”

Wei Fusi said helplessly: "Niu Gong Mingjian, it is normal for people to die in the project, but how many people die is not in the hands of our Ministry of Civil Affairs." ”

"Who's in charge?" Niu Hong slapped the table and said angrily: "At this time, you still want to shirk your responsibility? What is written on these files is clear, in some counties, you dare to transfer 30,000 people, how many people can there be in one county? ”

Wei Fusi said with a dead face: "The dead have nothing to do with the requisition, it is also a local national policy of resistance, and it cannot guarantee the supply of medicine and food, Niu Gong is angry at his subordinates, and he really found the wrong person." ”

"You still say," Niu Hong grabbed a dossier and threw it directly in front of Wei Fusi, saying:

"This book was reported by Chen Junbin at the earliest time when Wu'an Taishou was sued, and it was you who forced the local people to forcibly recruit their husbands, Chen Junbin couldn't make it up, so you instructed the military government to forcibly recruit women and children, and twelve-year-old children were all pulled to the canal by you, and the local grain store was looted by you, so that there was no food to buy in the market, and the people had nothing to eat, and you still said that it had nothing to do with you? You are a householder, who gave you the right to transfer troops? ”

"It's ....... This....... This ........" Wei Fusi trembled and fell to the ground with his buttocks.

At this time, he remembered the last trick that the clan had taught him.

I saw him suddenly begin to convulse, fall to the ground on his back, kick and roll his eyes on all fours, and saliva overflowing from his mouth.

He's got it before me? Wei Yijie's face is like ashes.
