Chapter 453: Chess is a step behind
Until now, he still doesn't understand that he is being calculated by those noble, powerful, and official families. These people did last night to deliberately provoke themselves.
deliberately in this situation of great drought, he made a extravagant scene of the wine pond meat forest to stimulate himself, let himself lose his mind, and directly flipped the table to arrest all these people and raid their homes.
This time, if you find evidence that these people are oppressing the people, embezzling land, and stealing Chang Ping, even if you are dismissed from office, it will be worth it, but now that you look at it, not only did you not find those evidences this time, but even you have to fold it in.
But the thing has been done, and there is no room for regret, and this time he also got 80,000 stones of grain and grass, which is enough to support a period of time, as for the goods, he does not plan to move. You can't eat or drink this gold or silver, and now you can't buy food, and if you take it, you will only be hated.
"Did the embroiderer search it?" Liu Jing asked.
"I've searched three times, and even some cellar compartments have been found, but there is nothing but some gold and silver treasure books." An embroidered envoy next to him stepped forward to report.
"Well, you go down to resettle the victims, and the grain is also stored in the grain store, don't touch the other things, and wait for Your Majesty to dispose of them."
"Yui!"
"There should also be grain in the manor outside the city, remember to bring all the grain!" Liu Jing ordered again, since he already knew that he was calculated, he would naturally not be polite anymore.
After speaking, Liu Jing asked them to continue to do things, and he went to the hall, preparing to meet those people.
In the main hall, many family heads had just eaten a gruel, and when they saw Liu Jing coming in, no one paid attention to him, and they were still chatting with themselves.
"You guys are so calculating!" Liu Jing said with a cold face.
"Calculate what? Are we calculating you by keeping me here? One of them sneered.
Liu Jing naturally knew that last night, if he could endure it and not use this method of breaking the rules, it would naturally not become the current situation, in the final analysis, his skills were inferior, and he immediately said:
"You are also great officials, nobles, you should know that state affairs are important, and the people outside the city are short of food, I want to know who stole the 400,000 stone of grain in Changping?"
"Didn't Liu Yushi decide that we stole it? Now this is for interrogation? The man sneered.
Liu Jing shook his head slightly and said: "The grain was not stolen by you, otherwise you wouldn't have set up this bureau waiting for me to get into, but although the grain was not stolen by you, it is impossible for such a large amount of grain to be transported away unknowingly, you are Handan nobles and officials, you must know something." ”
"What kind of food does Liu Yushi want to find? I'm afraid it's too late. The man shook his head slightly.
Since the imperial court has been cleaning up the nobles, heroes, and family officials every once in a while. Although they are all famous, they are also aware of the attitude of the imperial court.
Therefore, they also changed the way, as for saying that rebellion is impossible, they know the power of the imperial court, rebellion is a dead end, but the preservation of the family can do it.
"Where is the grain? How it was stolen. Liu Jing asked.
"It was done by the previous Handan Commander and Cangshou, although we are aware of it, but it is the landlord of this place, and we are all under its control. As for the grain and grass left in the grain depot, it should be to prevent it from being discovered and to cope with the inspection. ”
"The granary is piled with firewood and grass underneath, and covered with grain, so as long as you don't dig it down, you don't know if it's grain underneath."
"As for where the grain goes? I really don't know. The current Handan Ling Zhao Pei saw that Chang Ping had no food, so he could only exchange grain for wheat bran to help the victims, but he was a little stupid. ”
Liu Jing's face was gloomy, he thought that Zhao Pei and these noble and wealthy families had partnered to steal the grain that was often closed, but he didn't expect that it was done by the previous Handan Ling. Now a year has passed, and I am afraid that the grain has already been sold by him.
Now he had to wait to see if there was any food left in the manor outside the city.
Handan's situation was quickly reported by the embroidered envoy, and it only took three days to spread to Luoyang, after seeing Liu Jing's approach, Wang Che's brows immediately furrowed, but he still continued to look at it, and after seeing the things behind, he slapped it on the table.
"It's a pity for this Liu Jing!" Wang Che sighed.
Liu Jing is a talent he is optimistic about, starting from the inspection of the imperial history, and later served as the county commander and county guard, and then rose step by step to the position of the imperial historian, originally thinking that he would be the prime minister in the future, but there was a problem in Handan. Not only is Liu Jing's future gone, but even his layout in the court has been affected.
Liu Jing had no evidence, and searched for evidence on the officials' homes, which had already violated the taboo of the imperial court and seriously violated the "Great Cadre Law".
Once he doesn't investigate Liu Jing's behavior, or agrees with what he did, then those below who want to make meritorious contributions and be promoted will immediately use the same method, without any evidence, to wantonly arrest and raid the family, and the whole world will be chaotic.
This time, even if Liu Jing catches the evidence of those people's crimes, Wang Che must dismiss Liu Jing from office and even hold him accountable.
Liu Jing did this, Wang Che understood that he wanted to serve the people in his heart, and he had already made the idea of ending up together when he started. But not necessarily for others.
In the matter of Handan, Liu Jing can no longer stay, he must be replaced, and then escorted to Beijing for trial, even if Wang Che wants his subordinates to show mercy, he can only save his life.
"Wang Zong."
"Brother is here!" A handsome middle-aged man in the main hall stepped forward and said.
"Handan is complicated, so let's go for it!" Wang Che said.
"Yui!" Wang Zong arched his hand.
"I want to appease those nobles, heroes and family officials, and the court will not innocently exile the nobles and heroes."
"Brother Chen, understand!" Wang Zongdao.
"By the way, how much food has been prepared?" Wang Che asked.
"Your Majesty, 500,000 stones have been prepared, and they are being transported to Daliang through the canal, and according to the time, it will be there in three days at most." An official next to him replied.
"Brother Zong, let's go with grain this time, the drought in Hebei is serious, and this time I will use it for relief to repair canals and dams in Hebei, and dig several reservoirs." Wang Che said.
In fact, there have always been two opinions in the royal family about the drought in the Northland, one is to use the Mandate of Heaven artifact to rain to relieve the drought, and the other is to refuse to use it.
The reason is very simple, the use of the Heavenly Mandate Artifact requires the consumption of the family's luck, if there is a disaster in a place, use one, then the Wang family's luck is not enough.
