Chapter 55: Finding the Stockpile

Xie Lanzhou smiled and said:

"Now I am telling you my identity because I want you to help contact Zhao Shuaibing, the head of the household department, and I want to discuss the granary with him."

In fact, not long ago, Xie Lanzhou heard from the people around him that several officials in the imperial court went to the restaurant to eat and drink all day long, so he went to investigate.

"Why don't you ask me to get in touch with you?"

Huo Zhao asked.

"I thought you couldn't get out because of the eyeliner, so I found Uncle Jiang. By the way, how is the palace going, is the queen mother okay? ”

"Don't worry, everything is fine, but I'm afraid that your brother wants the throne, and if you don't come back, what should I say about your father?"

"Right now, Xie Wushuang is paying attention to my news all the time, and my father is completely different from him now, so you shouldn't know."

Once his father took off his guard against Xie Wushuang and informed his whereabouts one by one, his situation would be in danger.

"Understood."

Xie Wushuang was drinking tea with Yu Shen in the house at this time, so comfortable.

"I heard that Prime Minister Yu has been very chic recently, and he takes some ministers to the restaurant every day to listen to the drama and drink?"

Xie Wushuang's words were full of ridicule, in his eyes, Yu Shen was just a usable dog.

Yu Shen didn't seem to expect him to say this, his expression became nervous, Xie Wushuang hooked the corners of his mouth contemptuously, and put the cup in his hand on the table.

"This king advises Prime Minister Yu to restrain a little, now that the people are not living, you are going to go down in such a grand manner, I am afraid that sooner or later everyone will know about the granary."

"Wechen understands."

Yu Shen listened and hurriedly replied with a slight bow, if the matter of the granary is really known to the imperial court, not to mention the black gauze hat on the head, it is difficult to guarantee even this master's head.

"It's good that you understand, by the way, there's one more thing to discuss with you."

Xie Wushuang rubbed the dragon pattern jade pendant on his waist and spoke.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it's okay."

"I want you to secretly send a killer to assassinate my father."

He spoke calmly, as if it were just a trivial thing that could be done at the touch of a finger.

When Yu Shen heard this, he was slightly stunned and surprised.

Xie Wushuang couldn't hold it anymore.

It stands to reason that Yu Shen does things for the prince, so he naturally does everything for him.

But...... That's the Emperor!

This is a great sin, and if one is not careful, he will be killed.

"Think twice! It's a bit of a rush to do it at this point. ”

Xie Wushuang's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of yin.

"Don't worry, it's not for you to really assassinate, it's just to make a play, to play a drama where the king was injured in order to save his father."

Xie Wushuang understated.

He just wanted his father to hand over the throne to him earlier.

Who let this old man know that Xie Lanzhou was no longer there, but he was still unwilling to give the throne to himself.

Then I had to push him again.

Yu Shen hesitated, after all, assassination is a felony of killing the head! Even if they are acting, if they are not careful, their entire Yu family will have to pay for it.

At this time, the palace came to report.

"Lord Yu, the emperor is urgently summoned."

Yu Shen was a little drumming in his heart.

It is estimated that it is not a good thing to call yourself into the palace at this juncture.

Xie Wushuang squinted at him.

"My father summoned you, don't be lazy, Lord Yu should go first, as for what I said, please think more about it."

Yu Shen arched his hand and saluted respectfully.

"Yes, Wechen will, since that's the case, then Wechen will retire first."

After a while, Yu Shen arrived at the emperor's bedroom.

Yu Shen was uneasy, could it be that Xie Lanzhou's assassination had been found on his head?

If this matter was known by the former emperor, it would definitely be a felony to kill the head!

Yu bowed cautiously.

"Yu Qing, do you know what I called you here today?"

The first emperor was the first to speak, looking at the supreme person in front of him, Yu Shen knelt down and bowed.

"Wechen... Wechen didn't know. ”

He just didn't know which one the emperor had discovered, after all, he had done too many bad things.

"I have sent someone to check your mansion about the granary, what explanation do you have?"

The masters sent by the Emperor had already gone through the mansion, even if Yu Shen was still cautious to hide the food he had hoarded in the secret rooms and basements.

None of them escaped.

"The first emperor spares his life, the first emperor! The minister was confused for a while, so he returned the grain..."

As soon as Yu Shen heard the granary, he realized that the emperor was talking about this one, and hurriedly begged for mercy.

"As the prime minister, do you know that you are slapping the face of the court by doing this? How can people trust? ”

The first emperor was very angry, and he only knew that Yu Shen was a little greedy in the past, but fortunately, it was only a little money, and he couldn't afford to make any waves.

But the matter of food is related to the safety of the people!

"The minister really knows that he is wrong, please ask the emperor to be gracious!"

Yu Shen kept kowtowing desperately on the ground, just like Jiang Hanfeng at that time.

The Emperor sighed and spoke for a long time.

"Now that the government and the opposition are in turmoil, I will not deal with you for the time being, order you to return all the food, and punish you for thinking about grounding in the house for one month."

This disposition can be very light, and the emperor still doesn't want to cause panic among the people in the government and the opposition at this juncture.

"Thank you, Emperor! Thank you, Emperor, rest assured, the ministers should abide by your teachings and reflect on it. ”

In this way, the food will be returned in full, and the people will not be worried.

Xie Lanzhou's side, Jiang Mingshan has also brought Xin'er.

Zhao Shuaibing came to Shaoyang in civilian clothes, and was very excited when he saw Xie Lanzhou.

"Your Majesty! I've seen you! I'm glad you're okay! ”

He has always admired Xie Lanzhou the most, when Xie Lanzhou just ascended the throne, he introduced a series of policies to reduce excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and also advocated frugality.

In his heart, Xie Lanzhou is a unique and good monarch.

Jiang Mingshan on the side couldn't help but feel a little funny when he looked at Zhao Shuaibing, who had never liked words, and completely lost the calmness of the first meeting.

"I thought that this Minister Jiang brought me here because I was having fun with me, but I didn't expect it to be you, Your Majesty!"

Looking at Zhao Shuaibing's appearance, Xie Lanzhou also smiled with satisfaction.

At that time, he was one of the few Qing officials he admired, and he would always agree with many good ways to benefit the country and the people.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, I called you here today to discuss Yu Shen's matter, how is the matter in the granary?"

Xie Lanzhou frowned and asked, in fact, although he is in Shaoyang County now, his heart is always concerned about the safety of this people.

"Now the emperor has known about the granary, and he has also ordered him to return the hoarded grain one by one, relieving the urgent needs of the people."

Xie Lanzhou nodded and asked with some confusion.

Did the father say how to punish him? Didn't you dismiss him? ”

Zhao Shuaibing shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment.

"Xu was afraid that he would not be able to stabilize people's hearts, so he just punished him for a month."
