Chapter 163: In the small Jiangnan Province, dig dig dig and dig
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Emperor Yongle's face instantly sank.
"Lu Yuan, you elaborate."
"This Liaocheng County Order, how can you bend the law for bribes and lose your conscience?"
"Since grandpa asked me to say it, then I'll tell you about it."
Lu Yuan feigned anger and was filled with righteous indignation.
"This Liaocheng County Order lies that the local drought has been going on for many years."
"Actually, he used a very frenzied method."
"Deliberately let Liaocheng not rain for half a year, all the crops died of drought, and there was no harvest."
Lu Yuan didn't say anything about the gods and men's souls.
He feared that if the matter was made public, it would disturb the peace of the soul.
"Why did he do that?" Emperor Yongle frowned and asked.
"Naturally, it is to defraud the disaster relief grain allocated by the imperial court."
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "I saw with my own eyes that there are millions of stone grains stored in the granary of Liaocheng County. ”
"More than half of them have been covered with mold and spoilage."
"But the Liaocheng County Decree would rather the grain rot in its own warehouse."
"I don't want to give even a tenth of it to the people."
"I don't even want to allocate grain seeds."
As soon as these words came out, a wave of anger instantly rose up and down the court.
"As a magistrate, you are such a beast?"
"This kind of dog officer, you should be killed!"
Grain cultivation is the lifeblood of farmers.
At the same time, it is also the foundation of the previous dynasties.
Without grain seeds, farmers can't grow food.
If you can't grow food, what can you use to pay the taxes of the imperial court?
"How can this be ......?"
Emperor Yongle's face was gloomy, and he was full of murderous energy.
"This Liaocheng County Order is really daring!"
"Lu Yuan, you killed well."
"Such a corrupt official, even if you don't kill him, I will never spare him!"
"The emperor sees it."
Lu Yuan said angrily, "Then the Liaocheng County Order is more than that. ”
"After I arrived in Liaocheng, I investigated the hidden situation of the drought."
"The Liaocheng County Commander was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he put sweat medicine in our meals every night."
"And after I saw through this conspiracy, I deliberately didn't touch that dinner, and quietly left at night."
"The Liaocheng County Order actually set fire to the guest officer, intending to kill people and destroy the corpse."
"If I hadn't expected it in advance, it would have been arranged."
"I'm afraid, I'm going to be burned alive by that beast on the bed of the guest house!"
The entire hall was silent.
Many courtiers admired the courage of this Liaocheng county order.
Even the prince dares to kill?
Doesn't he know that the prince is the emperor's favorite son and grandson today.
If the prince has three long and two short in Liaocheng.
The emperor will be furious and kill all the officers and soldiers in the county.
"Bastard ......"
When he heard about his good saint grandson, he was almost burned to death.
Emperor Yongle was so angry that his face turned red and he gritted his teeth.
"A treacherous and corrupt official, how dare you murder my grandson!"
"If he is still alive, I have to cut him with a thousand knives, Ling Chi must vent his anger!"
King Han was even more angry, and flew into a rage directly in front of the main hall.
"Son, why didn't you tell your father if you suffered such a big grievance?"
"Let's go, let's go back to Liaocheng now."
"Dig out that dog corrupt official and kill the corpse to vent your anger!"
"Their families, young and old, I have to cut them all down!"
"The ant nest is filled with boiling water for me, and the eggs are shaken away for me!"
The ministers were agitated and filled with righteous indignation.
Only Li Guan was embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Governor Lee."
Lu Yuan turned around slowly and looked at Li Guan meaningfully.
"These are all what I have seen and experienced with my own eyes in Liaocheng."
"Didn't your wife, tell you?"
"These things, the lower officials really don't know."
Li Guan secretly gritted his teeth, and pretended to apologize on the surface.
"According to what Shizi said, this Liaocheng County Order should indeed be killed."
"I'm sorry, Lord Shizi, it's the lower officials who are arbitrary."
"It doesn't matter if you are arbitrary, you will be fatal to accuse people of innocence."
Lu Yuan's face was full of generosity, and he smiled and waved his hand.
Then he turned to look at Emperor Yongle.
"Emperor, my grandson has three things, and I want to ask my grandfather to agree."
The ministers couldn't help but pout.
This kind of thing is what the prince dares to say.
On weekdays, who would dare to think that the emperor would make a request?
No matter how much credit you make, you can't do it.
Don't say three.
Even if it is one, it is a reward for merit, and there is no misconduct.
However, at this time, Lu Yuan opened his mouth to make a request.
Emperor Yongle was still full of joy and did not have the slightest displeasure.
"Grandson, just say it."
"This time in Liaocheng County, you have not only made great contributions, but also suffered grievances."
"Don't say three, even if it's ten, grandpa will depend on you."
The crown prince and King Zhao on the side were full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
King Han's face was suddenly full of pride, and his chin was slightly raised.
The expression seemed to say, see?
My son is so promising.
What?
Daddy's Son's Strength?
So what!
You want to fight, but unfortunately you don't have such a good son.
"Thank you to the emperor, there are only three things for my grandson."
Lu Yuan said with a straight face, "The first thing is. ”
"Ask the emperor to reward Liaocheng and the surrounding thirteen counties to his grandson."
Hearing this request, Emperor Yongle's face suddenly stiffened.
This grandson has a bit too big an appetite, right?
At the beginning, he gave the land of Luxi to Lu Yuan.
It was because Lu Yuan boasted about Haikou in front of his ministers.
Within three years, he made Lieqian no longer have a famine.
Although Lu Yuan did do it.
With a yield of 500 catties of potatoes per mu, he proved his strength.
However, that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
Solved a drought problem in one county.
I want to bring this county, along with more than a dozen surrounding counties, all of them.
If this precedent is set, then is it worth it?
In the hundreds of years since the founding of the Lieqian Dynasty, where has there been no natural disaster?
If you go to a place and make a contribution to disaster relief, you have to ask for a fief directly.
In three or five years, Lieqian's million territory will not be sent out by himself?
There's no such thing.
"Lu Yuan, you're a bit embarrassing for grandpa."
Emperor Yongle said lightly, "The fiefdom is the supreme reward. ”
"You only dealt with the drought and executed a corrupt official."
"I'm afraid, it's not enough, is it?"
Grandpa's implication, Lu Yuan heard it.
You kid didn't make that much credit this time.
If you really want this land, you have to come up with a reasonable reason.
Or, like last time, make an explosive promise.
So that I can gag the mouths of the ministers.
"Emperor, there is a reason why my grandson wants to talk about the city."
Lu Yuan's face was solemn, and he shouted loudly.
"Under the poison of that corrupt official, the people of Liaocheng County fled with their families, and there were already ten rooms and nine empty."
"Before leaving, I will make a proclamation in the name of the Son."
"It was decided to recall all the displaced refugees and take them back to find a new way to live."
"Today's Liaocheng is full of hunger and waste, and ordinary officials may find it difficult to deal with it."
"If it is the emperor, I am willing to give this place to my grandson."
"My grandson promises that within a year, the people of Liaocheng will have food, a house, clothes, and a wife."
"Let Liaocheng County's taxes get back on track and contribute to the foundation of Lieqian."
Emperor Yongle thought for a moment and nodded.
Although this promise is much more paled than the original vow to eradicate famine.
But, at least, it's a reason.
"Okay, then grandpa will depend on you."
Emperor Yongle nodded and said lightly, "What about the second thing?" ”
"The second thing is that my grandson wants to borrow a group of people from the imperial city."
Lu Yuan said seriously, "I plan to build some industries in Liaocheng and the surrounding counties. ”
"And use these industries to create wealth and solve the employment problem of the people in Liaocheng."
"It's easy."
Emperor Yongle breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to the first condition, this condition is not a condition at all.
"All the craftsmen in the imperial city are as you move."
"All expenses are paid by the imperial court."
"What about the third one?"
"The third thing......
Lu Yuan quietly glanced at Li Guan beside him.
A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"My grandson is brave and wants to ask the emperor to take a southern tour."
"With my grandson, I will travel to the land of two rivers."
As soon as this remark came out.
Emperor Yongle and King Han and others were puzzled.
As the lord of the world, how can the emperor move lightly?
Good end, what are you doing all the way to Liangjiang?
Only Li Guan, the governor of Liangjiang, trembled all over.
His eyes were full of horror, and his legs couldn't stop trembling.
"A few days of southern tour, but you can ......"
Emperor Yongle frowned and asked, "But, Yuan'er, can you tell Grandpa the reason?" ”
Lu Yuan smiled slightly, and had already thought of the wording.
"My grandson's wife, Gu Qingwan, is in Liangjiang."
"In a few days, it will be his grandmother's death day, so let me accompany her back to worship her ancestors."
The corners of Gu Shiqing's mouth, who were standing in front of Wenchen, twitched.
glared at Lu Yuan fiercely, and his old face was instantly darker than charcoal.
They are old and have been from the Imperial City for generations.
My daughter, when did my hometown become two rivers?
This kid really opened his mouth to come!
And also.
His own mother, Qingwan's grandmother.
Although he is over eighty years old, he is still alive and well, and his body is very strong.
Let Lu Yuan say a word, and directly say that he is dead?
If it weren't for the fact that this was above the court, the ministers would all be present.
Gu Shiqing will definitely take off his boots directly.
Chase Lu Yuan and beat three streets.
"Oh?"
Emperor Yongle raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Shiqing.
"Gu Aiqing, it turns out that your ancestral home is from Liangjiang?"
"Why did you never tell me?"
"Minister......
Gu Shiqing was covered in cold sweat and was a little overwhelmed.
Lu Yuan, who was on the side, desperately glared at him.
His face was full of sincere pleading, and he kept blinking his eyes.
Gu Shiqing's intestines were all repentant.
For his daughter marrying Lu Yuan, he regretted it again.
Then he nodded helplessly.
"Yes, Chen's ancestral home is Liangjiang, and he lives in Jiangnan."
"It's just that Your Majesty didn't ask, and the minister didn't say it."
Lu Yuan was afraid that Gu Shiqing would not lie, so he would continue to show his stuffing.
Hurriedly took his words and continued.
"My grandson has long heard that the water town in the south of the Yangtze River is picturesque."
"So I dare to invite each other, and I want to invite the emperor to appreciate his face and go together."
"After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, we can take a flat boat and cruise the Qinhuai River at night."
"Isn't it happy to chant poetry and admire the moon and drink?"
"Hmm...... Merry indeed. ”
Emperor Yongle touched his chin and nodded with a smile.
"Governor of Liangjiang, where is Li Guan?"
Li Guan hurriedly stepped forward, "The minister is here." ”
"You return to Liangjiang overnight and get ready to take over."
"I'll leave tomorrow morning, and I'll be there in a few days."
"Yes."
Li Guan nodded in agreement, and turned away nervously.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan was secretly disappointed in his heart.
Originally, he wanted to take the emperor's micro-service for a private visit and go to Liangjiang quietly.
Engage in a surprise attack and take those corrupt officials by surprise.
But the emperor is used to pomp and circumstance, and he has to let Li Guan go back to prepare.
In this way, those corrupt officials will definitely prepare in advance and hide their feet.
It seems that there is a desire to find out the evidence of the guilt of these people.
You'll have to dig a little deeper.
In the tiny province of Gangnam, dig dig dig dig.
Dig out the little corrupt officials and kill the whole family.
"Gu Aiqing, since Liangjiang is your hometown, you will accompany you on this trip."
"All matters in the DPRK and China are decided by the crown prince."
"If there is any urgent military situation, send Qing Cangwei to deliver the letter."
"Yuan'er, you also go back and prepare well."
"That's it, retreat."
Emperor Yongle simply entrusted it, and then turned around and left in a hurry.
It's as exciting as a child whose school is about to organize a spring outing.
I went on patrol with my grandson, but it was the first time.
With Emperor Yongle's understanding of Lu Yuan.
It must have been a lot of fun.
……
After the next dynasty.
King Han and King Zhao went to the prince's mansion.
Discuss with the crown prince how to arrange the affairs of the imperial city in the absence of the emperor these days.
Lu Yuan was in a good mood and was ready to go back home for a drink.
There was a cold shout behind him.
"Stop!"
Lu Yuan stopped and turned around.
looked at Gu Shiqing who walked towards him with a black old face.
Smile harmlessly.
"Master Yue, what's the matter?"
"Heh, of course."
The corners of Gu Shiqing's mouth twitched, "If I'm okay again, even the old roots will be dug up by you to Liangjiang." ”
"Say."
"Why did you deceive the emperor to Liangjiang?"
"Hehe, I can't hide anything from you, Uncle Yue."
Lu Yuan said with a hippie smile, "It's not very convenient to talk here. ”
"If Lord Yue-in-law has time, why don't you go back to the house with your son-in-law?"
"Good!"
Gu Shiqing gritted his teeth and nodded.
"I'd like to see what your kid has in mind!"
Immediately, Gu Shiqing returned to the Han Mansion with Lu Yuan.
As soon as he pushed the door in, Gu Shiqing widened his eyes and exclaimed.
"This, this, this ......"
There was a large pool of blood floating on the ground, giving off a pungent smell of blood.
A pale female corpse, lying in a pool of blood.
The body also twitched violently and spasmed non-stop.
"The Han Wangfu has killed someone?!"
"Someone's coming!"
Gu Shiqing was frightened and drank in panic.
"Eh, his father-in-law, don't shout, don't shout."
Princess Han walked out of the house.
Looking at the pool of blood on the ground, his face suddenly darkened.
"Condensation, how many times have I told you?"
"There is not only your husband in this house, but also the ministers of the court who often come to visit."
"Hello, it's a prank, what if you scare someone?"
"Hurry up!"
Gu Shiqing was stunned when he heard this.
In the next second, a puddle of blood disappeared from the ground.
"Hello adults!"
Liu Ninglu stood up and bowed apologetically.
Then he patted the dust off his body and jumped away. (End of chapter)
