Chapter 165: Chopsticks float and heads fall to the ground
The investigation of the Yanhuai Chatun grain case was in full swing, and everyone in the capital was in danger, and some people even did not hesitate to ask to see each other late at night and give generous gifts.
As a result, even the people and things were sent out.
Later, he went to the palace with a backhand.
Emperor Xuan looked at the folds that Yan Huai kept handing to the palace, and he was angry that he hadn't eaten for several days, and finally had a toothache and half of his face was swollen.
However, not every banquet is played truthfully, for example, everyone knows that he has a holiday with a certain family, so he exaggerates his rhetoric, and he wants to put the family in prison.
Emperor Xuan knew something was wrong at a glance, and ordered someone to go out of the palace to send a decree to reprimand.
The eunuch who passed the decree said that Emperor Xuan was very angry, but in fact, Emperor Xuan was not so angry, because Yan Huai was narrow-minded and framed his relatives, in his opinion, it was a manifestation of Yan Huai's failure.
If he dealt with the affairs of the displaced people in an orderly manner, and could find out so many collusions in the capital, then Emperor Xuan was worried.
Yan Huai grasped Emperor Xuan's thoughts, and did things very smoothly, and from time to time he made some small mistakes for Emperor Xuan to reprimand, saving him a lot of trouble.
During this time, Yanhuai was too busy, so he set up a tent outside the city to live.
Because there were sick people among the homeless people, in order not to chill the guards, they ate and lived with them during this time, and smoked medicine every day after returning to the camp.
In the capital, everyone thought that Yan Huai was an idle flower Tai Sui, but the displaced people outside the capital kowtowed to Yan Huai and were grateful.
Lord Qian was forced to follow Yanhuai to be busy among the homeless people, from the fear at the beginning to the calmness now, his mentality has changed from two poles.
Yan Huai is fierce enough to him, but he is also fierce in front of him, and he never makes any small moves behind his back, but he is much stronger than the smiling tiger of the second prince.
In the winter afternoon, Mr. Qian was counting the supplies needed by the displaced people the next day, and he was a little out of sight, so he asked people to light torches and follow him.
In the distance, he saw Yan Huai coming towards him.
He subconsciously put down the ledger and acted respectfully.
Since the last banquet Huai did not report to the emperor, he directly sent people to surround the mansion of the second prince, and he has already been a living Yama-like figure in Lord Qian's heart.
Therefore, in the case of trying not to offend the second prince, he also tried not to offend Yanhuai as much as possible.
Yan Huai waved his hand with a calm face, "Lord Qian doesn't have to be polite, the king of this county will come and ask, how much food and medicinal materials are left, and how many days can it last?" ”
Hearing this, Lord Qian immediately said, "If you go back to the county king, the food can last for about half a month, but there are really not many medicinal materials, and there are more and more people who are sick, and the consumption of this medicinal materials is really too great." ”
When the words fell, Yan Huai shouted violently, "So you give the people gruel to drink?" If you add water to the herbs over and over again, the medicine that comes out is all water, what use can it be? ”
"The rice is even more rare, there are not a few grains of rice, and the soup and water can be full? In the middle of winter, do you want them to freeze to death or die of disease? ”
Lord Qian hurriedly said, "King Jun, the rations given by the lower officials have been accurately calculated, and I really don't know how the cooking guy arranged!" ”
"You don't know?"
The banquet became popular immediately, and he took Lord Qian and walked to the place where the displaced people were placed.
After a while, we arrived at the place.
There was little smoke in the cooking, and the homeless people lined up for food.
Yan Huai carried Master Qian by the back of the neck and led him to one of the cauldrons, pressing his head against the top of the cauldron.
The heat kept surging, and the steamed Lord Qian blushed and didn't say anything, and tears flowed straight down.
"King of the county, Rao... Spare ......"
Yan Huai almost pressed his head into the pot to cook.
"Spare what's life? Open your dog's eyes and take a good look, what is this? ”
Yan Huai let him see it, and Lord Qian also saw it, but he didn't think there was anything wrong
Yan Huai was extremely annoyed, lifted him, kicked him in the stomach, and kicked him more than a meter away.
Lord Qian couldn't get up in pain, but he still said stiffly, "King Jun, the lower officials didn't do anything wrong, disaster relief is like this." ”
"You fart!"
"Why don't you give them food when they still have food? Why do you want to make this porridge that is like water? ”
Yan Huai was furious, stepped forward quickly, grabbed him by the collar, and gritted his teeth, "Don't you do statistics every day?" Do you know how many people are dying every day now? ”
"Sick and dead, starving and cold dying, you are blind and can't see, or are you not a human being?"
When the words fell, the homeless people waiting for the meal next to them all had red eyes, and their eyes when they looked at Lord Qian became fierce.
yes, why don't you give them food when there's food?
Do you want to be secretly greedy again, exchanging their lives for your own glory and wealth?
Yan Huai's angry rebuke and the unkind gaze of the displaced people made Lord Qian angry, and the leopard suddenly became bold, raised his hand and pushed Yan Huai away vigorously, and staggered to his feet.
"The king of the county is really benevolent, can't he even see this little suffering for disaster relief?"
Yan Huai said in a deep voice, "The man-made suffering, the king of this county really can't see it. You have so lost your conscience, the king of this county will never spare you, you go to the palace to apologize by yourself, and the king of this county doesn't want to talk nonsense with you. ”
Lord Qian sneered, "I have a bad conscience? The king of the county is really reversing black and white! ”
Yan Huai saw that he was still quibbling, and immediately said, "The law of the DPRK and China is clearly written, and the porridge for disaster relief has to be inserted with chopsticks. The emperor once said, "The chopsticks float up, and the head falls to the ground", and the king of this county didn't cut you directly just now, so he was already merciful. ”
"Merciful to the county king's subordinates? So, the lower officials have to be grateful? ”
As he spoke, Lord Qian shouted loudly with red eyes, "If it weren't for the king of the county to stop it, this porridge wouldn't be so thin, it's all because you didn't let you add wheat bran, so they couldn't eat enough." ”
Yan Huai said angrily, "Wheat bran is something for animals to eat, how can it be eaten by people?" ”
"Now that the disaster is serious everywhere, where is there any surplus food for disaster relief? As long as the poison does not die, what is the difference between what animals eat and what people eat? ”
Lord Qian stared at Yan Huai, his eyes full of sneers.
Anyway, Yan Huai is going to kill him, no matter how respectful he is, it is useless, rather than being wronged, it is better to have this evil breath, and it is not a waste of time in the world.
"Dare to ask the king of the county, how much relief food did the court give you?"
Yan Huai didn't make a sound.
Lord Qian said again, "The king of the county just asked the lower officials, do you know how many people die every day due to various reasons?" Then the lower official asked you, do you know how many people gather every day and are displaced? ”
"Let me tell you, the number of new people added every day is more than ten times more than the number of people who die, which means that the daily consumption of food is increasing several times."
"The fifteen-day ration calculated by the lower officials is calculated according to the number of people counted today. If it continues to increase exponentially, within seven days, let alone gruel, they won't even be able to drink hot water! ”
"If you do what you say, with today's numbers, it won't last for three days."
As soon as these words came out, they instantly caused panic among the people, but fortunately, there were guards around to maintain order, so there was no chaos.
Yan Huai stared at Lord Qian and didn't get angry, and asked in a deep voice, "If your wife and daughter are also among them, can you bear to let them eat such disaster relief food?" ”
