No one said anything, even Zhao Yanshen himself was silent.

All of them understood that Zu Ting was not wrong......

Forcibly disrupting the rebellious people and moving them to the north of Youzhou is indeed the next policy. The slightest mistake can lead to even more serious turmoil!

Zu Ting's only remaining cloudy old eye flashed with a hint of pride, and then took advantage of the victory to pursue:

"Xia Guan doesn't know whether Zhao Xiang is true or not.

Previously, the counties of Shandong and Jianghuai had already migrated more than 100,000 rebellious people to the north of Youzhou and Jiaodong, and countless money and grain were consumed every day.

The imperial court's reclamation plan in northern Xinjiang had just begun, and it was a time when money and food were urgently needed.

At this time, Zhao Xiang relocated hundreds of thousands of victims...... Tsk, that's not a good time......"

"Youzhou, Yingzhou, Pingzhou, Jiande, Yuyang...... There are more than ten prefectures and counties, all of which have money and grain stored and transported by the imperial court for reclamation, so how can the chaotic people in Taishan County not be relocated?

This is the responsibility of our Ministry of Civil Affairs, the old man is the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is it possible, do you know better than the old man how much grain is stored in Youzhou and other places? ”

Zheng Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came out to help, and his words were disdainful:

"Dr. Zu is in charge of the secretary province and the imperial history platform, there are many tasks, and there are some affairs, I'm afraid Dr. Zu doesn't know about them......

Therefore, the lower official also asked Dr. Zu not to make a lot of nonsense and say some unrealistic words......! ”

The ingredients of these words are very serious, on the surface there is no accusation, but in fact they are ridiculing Zu Ting for being "ignorant".

I don't know the actual situation, and I dare to point fingers at Shangguan's instructions?

The nature of this incident can be big or small, at least it is said that it is framing Shangguan, and at worst, it is Zu Ting who deliberately made nonsense in the court, and he is suspected of bullying the king!

Zu Ting's cloudy old eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and he took a deep look at Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yuyi was not afraid, leaving him only with a cold silhouette.

There was silence in the court again, and then some of the courtiers began to look at each other, is this the cabinet bigwigs pinching up?

Zheng Yu was recommended by Zhao Yanshen in December last year, and the emperor issued an edict to sign that he entered the court, he was already an old man in his fifties, with good ability, and he also had a close relationship with the imperial family, so he quickly gained a firm foothold in the cabinet, his status was not low, and he always spoke very hard.

At the time of the examination last month, he was the one who desperately tried to prevent Zu Ting from gaining fame.

This time Zu Ting impeached Zhao Yanshen, he couldn't help but take action against Zu Ting, and first set the nature of Zu Ting, which can not be described as ruthless, and he is clearly a veteran of officialdom who has gone through countless dangers.

This court discussion seems to have quietly changed its flavor.

Cushman frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

Zu Ting looked at Zheng Yu, a touch of ruthlessness appeared on his face, and he quickly disappeared, and said with a light smile:

"Youzhou, Yuyang, Pingyang, Jiande and other places, there are more than 80 Changping positions, and the grain storage is about 6 million stones.

However, because the imperial court had not purchased grain at a fair price for a long time, in addition to the seeds needed for reclamation, the available grain and grass were only about 3 million stones.

Even though the imperial court has raised grain and grass to replenish the warehouse in the past few months, it is only less than two million stone more......

Zu Ting is like a few treasures, listing the situation in Youzhou and other places that are often closed one by one, and he is very skillful, and Zheng Yu's face gradually became solemn.

Zu Ting continued: "Moreover, before this, the imperial court had already sent a large number of disaster victims from Jianghuai and other places to the north.

How can we afford to feed hundreds of thousands of people, even if the cost of supplying this part of the disaster victims is still stretched? ”

Zu Ting smiled and said: "The old man also served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs when he was young, and he doesn't know much about the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the old man still understands these most basic situations......

It was as if a slap hit Zheng Yu in the face, and Zheng Yu's face was blue and purple, and he was ashamed and angry.

What does Zu Ting mean by this? Are you laughing at him for not being qualified?

Zheng Yu had just satirized Zu Ting for not understanding the situation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and in a blink of an eye, Zu Ting slapped him with facts in a resounding slap.

"When I was young, I also served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs......

Zu Ting's words were full of ridicule and ridicule of Zheng Yu, which seemed to have no trace of fireworks, but it sounded very harsh to Zheng Yu.

"Enough is enough......! This is a court discussion, pay attention to the proportion......! ”

When Zheng Yu trembled and pointed at Zu Ting, ready to tear it apart, Cushman and Wakefield stopped the endless dispute that followed.

He looked at Zheng Yu, frowned slightly, and said lightly: "Zheng Yu is out of honor in His Palace, and he will be fined for a month ......."

Before Zu Ting's face could show color, Gao Wei pointed the finger at Zu Ting again, "You are ...... too!" ”

Zu Ting immediately got angry, and together this is a fifty big board each......

Zu Ting had already prepared the wording to impeach Zheng Yu for defending Zhao Yanshen like this, and was suspected of forming friends, but was interrupted by Gao Wei, and he could only stop fighting.

Although he was still unconvinced, His Majesty had already made his attitude clear, and he clearly didn't want them to make trouble, so he could only press down his inner thoughts.

His eyes were secretly aimed at Zhao Yanshen's reaction.

Zhao Yan pondered for a long time before he said: "The old minister also understands that this is the next ......, but there is no better way to do it at present......

He expounded his opinion unhurriedly.

It seems that for him, Zheng Yu and Zu Ting fighting each other for him are just trivial matters, and only solving the troubles that Taishan County will face at the moment is a first-class big thing......

Gao Wei looked at him, and his expression quietly softened.

Anyway, Zhao Yanshen is a loyal and diligent minister after all......

But Zhao Yanshen's method is not in line with Cushman & Wakefield's wishes.

What Zhao Yanshen said was that he wanted to violently suppress the civil unrest first and forcibly split the chaotic people.

In the past, when Gao Huan and Gao Yang were in trouble, Liu Pantuo and Shi Mingyao made chaos in Shandong, and Du Lingchun made chaos in Puyang.

Not to mention the countless casualties, the symptoms are not cured, and once the season of frequent disasters comes, it is often full of smoke.

Instead of appeasing the resentment of the victims, the killing will only make them more hostile to the court.

Not to mention that Gao Jishi is dead now, even if Gao Jishi is still alive, can Gao Wei kill these people?

Unless it is really a last resort, Cushman will never aim the butcher's knife at these innocent people!

When Gao Wei just wanted to soothe Zhao Yanshen for a few words, and then proposed his own solution, Zu Ting stood up again.

"Your Majesty, what Zhao Xiang said, the minister dare not agree, to solve the disaster, it is not that there is no other way to go!"

This was very noticeable, Gao Wei paused, and everyone else looked at him, waiting to hear what he had to say.

Although Zheng Yu felt that he was grandstanding, he could clearly distinguish the occasion, maybe Zu Ting really had a solution to the problem.

So he frowned, and finally resisted the urge to spray him.

I only heard Zu Ting say slowly: "It's naturally not okay to aim the butcher's knife at the civilians, isn't this self-digging foundation?"

I think that if the imperial court wants to successfully suppress this civil unrest, it must find another way! ”

Gao Wei was silent, just staring at him.

“…… The civil unrest in Shandong originated from local political corruption, and it stemmed from the fact that those officials in Shandong had resold their positions and had no grain to call upon at the critical moment

…… But this is the basket they poked out, but they want the court to take responsibility for them!

Afterwards, the court just reprimanded them, which was too cheap for these people......

In the long run, these people will inevitably become more arrogant and unscrupulous! ”

Gao Wei's pair of good-looking phoenix eyes narrowed and stared at him, "What do you mean?" ”

"Of course, the imperial court can't boost the arrogance of these people!" Zu Ting looked a little excited, "If the imperial court can't ask these people for their guilt this time, how can they give an explanation to the people and the world?" The minister had heard that His Majesty had said 'the water of the people of the king', and he was deeply touched, His Majesty is a generation of holy monarchs, how can he tolerate these cockroaches to harm the people......"

"-to the point!" Gao Wei stopped Zu Ting's patting horse:

"You mean to kill these people and appease the people's grievances?"

The entire court gasped, Shandong Xu officials don't know how many people are involved in this matter, do they want to investigate them all?

Zu Ting smiled awkwardly and said, "Your ......, that's what you mean...... But Your Majesty, this is an absolutely effective approach! ”

Zu Ting was afraid that the emperor would not trust him, so he hurriedly explained: "In the past few months, Your Majesty has cracked down on officials with serious corruption problems, cleaned up the atmosphere of the imperial court, and made the government and the opposition look completely new!"

But the imperial court has been purged, but the local problems are still very serious!

The erosive situation in Shandong this time is due to the corruption of officials!

Investigating these corrupt and mediocre officials can not only give the people an explanation and win their trust, but also solve the problem of grain and grass! ”

Gao Wei knew it in his heart, but he still asked: "What do you say?" ”

Zu Ting secretly looked at Gao Wei's face and said, "These people have been corrupt for many years, and their families must have very rich savings, anyway, these silver coins are also obtained from corruption, why not ......?" ”

Some courtiers changed color, and just as they were about to speak out to impeach Zu Ting, Zu Ting knelt on the ground first:

"Your Majesty, if you don't break it, you can't stand it, if you don't break it, you can't stand it!

If you want to revitalize the place, the court must use the knife!

Besides, these people have been causing trouble to the place for many years, and it is not a pity for them to die!

There is nothing wrong with the imperial court acting like this! ”

"What do you mean...... Raiding the house? Gao Wei looked at Zu Ting's eyes with a faint appreciation in his eyes.

The ministers were in an uproar, and they all felt that it was inappropriate, these people were indeed innocent, but if they were all killed, how would local government affairs be carried out?

But listening to His Majesty's tone, it was obvious that he was moved by Zu Ting's proposal!

No one else can understand His Majesty's thoughts, but the ministers do.

Ever since the imperial court prepared for disaster relief and supported the Zuo Prime Minister's crusade, the emperor's treasury was empty enough to run mice!

Your Majesty is now poor and crazy, maybe he will really fight such an idea!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" An old courtier stood up: "Of course, it is not a pity for these people to die, but if they are killed, who will take care of the local government affairs, and in a short time, where will the governor find someone to fill their vacancies?" ”

Zu Ting smiled: "How can we have no one to fill the vacancy?"

In these days, three-legged toads are hard to find, but those who break their heads to become officials are a big handful!

Believe it or not, as long as the imperial court posts a notice to solicit officials, those who are willing to go to Shandong can be lined up from Yecheng to Luoyang! ”

"Besides, aren't the fifty scholars who won our examination still waiting to fill the vacancies?"

Zu Ting was disdainful, and he solved a major problem with an understatement.

The ministers were speechless.

Gao Wei thought about it for a while, and said, "Feasible......"

Zu Ting's heart blossomed, and he immediately struck while the iron was hot, and said:

"But Your Majesty, this is not something that can be done by leisure, we have to do it again......"

"If you have something to say, say it." Cushman frowned.

Zu Ting said: "If you want to deal with these people this time, they will definitely not be tied back!"

The minister thought that it was necessary for the imperial court to send a courtier of sufficient weight to suppress the backlash of those people......"

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Zhao Yanshen slightly.

Gao Wei secretly laughed "heh" in his heart, Zu Ting is really a good calculation.

The courtier he said was naturally Zhao Yanshen.

A large part of the reason why the courtiers opposed the killing of these people was that many of these officials had some connection to them or their families.

It is no secret that the family has made good local officials, and some of them are simply spokesmen for themselves.

If you kill these people, they will have some losses to some extent.

The reason why Zhao Yanshen can sit firmly in this position is that in addition to his prestige in the DPRK for many years, he also has the support of the family!

Zu Ting asked Zhao Yanshen to do this, which would undoubtedly make Zhao Yanshen open the family and weaken Zhao Yanshen's influence.

Wouldn't his path to the throne of the first assistant be a little less obstructive?

Kill two birds with one stone! not only mixed a head in front of Gao Wei, but also pointed the finger at Zhao Yanshen.

No wonder it is so famous in history, this political skill is really not covered!

Gao Wei looked at him with some amusement and said:

"Aiqing is very reasonable, so this time, Aiqing will go to Shandong on behalf of the imperial court, and these corrupt officials will be punished well.

Do things according to the law of Qi, kill when you should kill, don't be soft! ”

Zu Ting's mind was stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty......, Your Majesty ......!" ”

Gao Wei raised his hand to stop what he was about to say next, "Punishing corrupt officials, this is the responsibility of the Imperial Historical Tower, right?"

The situation in Shandong has been eroded to this point, isn't Aiqing willing to share my worries?

Or does Aiqing feel that her dignified secretary and supervisor and imperial doctor are not weighty?

I have made up my mind, Aiqing will go to Shandong to handle this matter on behalf of the imperial court this time, don't live up to my hopes......! ”

After Gao Wei finished speaking, he directly announced his retirement from the dynasty.

Zu Ting was still standing in place, as if frost had beaten an eggplant, and his expression was very dazed.

The ministers looked at him with all kinds of strange eyes, but he just wanted to be quiet now......

[Wait, wait, the old man has to take a good look at how things came to this point......]

[When I propose to ask the court to send a weighty courtier, shouldn't Your Majesty's first reaction be to ask who I should send?

Why did you just name the old man and let him go?

That's how the old man ...... Didn't you lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot? 】

Zu Ting slapped his old face, and he suddenly regretted it in his heart!
