Chapter Eighty-Eight: Zhang Liang's Recital
I secretly said in my heart: 'These two unlucky people, everyone else is honestly staying in the house, just the two of them ran out.' This Meng He is too, if you don't let it move, you won't let it move, so you can let people have a normal posture! ’
Seeing that I walked in with Li Si and the others, Wu He quickly returned to his normal posture and saluted.
"See Your Majesty!"
He scolded in his heart: 'Your Majesty is here, you can't stop me from saluting Your Majesty!' Hurry up and move, or you will probably lie directly on the ground. ’
I smiled and waved, "No need to be polite. ”
Meng He walked out of the house quickly, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, after the arrival of the minister, no one has moved. ”
I nodded, "Good." ”
With a wave of his hand: "Bring people in." ”
Two forbidden soldiers walked in with the kite in hand.
Seeing that I went straight to the Zhongshu Confessor's Mansion, Feng Yuan was already frightened, but he still had a trace of luck, after all, as long as Zhang Liang's report could not be found, no one could do anything about him.
However, when Wu He and the others saw that Feng Kite was arrested, their faces suddenly turned like ashes.
After the three of them separated last night, Feng Kite told the two that he was going to rush back to Changsha County early this morning, and now how could he be caught by His Majesty.
Seeing the expressions of the two, I already had a rough idea in my heart. It seems that the suspicion of Changsha County is not my suspicion.
"Wu He, Zhao Li, do you know this person?"
Wu He was just about to speak, but Zhao Li replied first: "Your Majesty, although the Zhongshu Confessor's Mansion has a lot of dealings with foreign ministers, but the ministers and Lord Wu don't often go out to Xianyang, so they don't know this person. ”
Zhao Li is a "matchmaker", if it weren't for him, with Wu He's guts, he would never dare to do such a thing as detaining the report, he was afraid that Wu He would leak his mouth.
I smiled slightly, and said to Meng He: "Go and find out all the reports of Zhang Liang in the mansion, don't miss any secrets." Maybe some of the newspapers were accidentally lost in the corner by Wu He. ”
I deliberately emphasized the word "accidental", Wu He trembled, and his eyes involuntarily glanced at the inner hall.
Meng He's eyes were naturally like torches, and he turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
In a moment, he took a report and came out.
I took the report and first glanced at the date: February of the third year of Qin II!
I sneered and looked at the two of them shivering.
"Wu He, this report was performed by Zhang Liangyu in February this year, why didn't it be presented to me?"
At this time, Wu He could still speak, and he didn't say a decent word for a long time.
"This, this...... Minister, minister...... Zhao Li ......"
Zhao Li saw that Wu He had been frightened, so he hurriedly stabilized his mind and forced himself to calm down: "Your Majesty, this report has just arrived in the mansion, and Lord Wu and his ministers are about to hand it over to Lord Qiwan, and before they can do it, Your Majesty will come in person." ”
I snorted coldly, ignored him, and turned to look at Feng Kite.
Feng Kite is already like ashes, if he still had a trace of luck before, he is now at the end of the road. Although I don't know the content of Zhang Liang's report, it is definitely not an invitation to Feng Tuo.
When he arrived in Xianyang yesterday, he immediately went to Zhao Li and gave him fifty gold, asking him to persuade Wu He to keep the report for himself. However, although Zhao Li persuaded Wu He to accept fifty gold and intercept the report, he refused to hand it over to Feng Yuan.
Helpless, Feng Yuan could only emphasize again and again that he must burn the report, and asked Zhao Li to watch the report be burned with his own eyes no matter what. But isn't that the one I'm holding in my hand right now?
Feng Yuan had already greeted all the eighteen generations of Wu He's ancestors in his heart.
Seeing the changing expression on Feng Kite's face, I spoke: "Feng Kite, they said they didn't know you, do you know them?" ”
Feng Kite had a pale face, gritted his teeth, shook his head, and said, "I don't know!" ”
Of course, at this time, he can't admit it, as long as he bites to death, he will come to Xianyang to buy farming cattle, Zhao Li bites the death of the newspaper and does not intercept it just after it arrives, at least the crime of intercepting the report will not be on his head.
As for the contents of the report...... He was very filial and silently said "I'm sorry" to his father in his heart.
I nodded and smiled, "Okay, if you don't know, you don't know." ”
"Meng He, send Feng Kite back to the Imperial Prison, and order people to look at Wu He and Zhao Li, but don't let them starve and lose weight, I still have to reuse them!"
Meng He bowed and naturally understood. If these two committed suicide in fear of crime, then there would be no way to sit on the charge of bribing court officials and intercepting the report.
But since it has reached the point of risking the interception of the report, I am afraid that this is already the smallest crime......
Then I ignored a few people, and I didn't go back to the Sihai Palace, and directly requisitioned the Zhongshu Confessor's Mansion, opened the report and read it in detail.
Li Si and Meng Yi stood at the bottom, seeing that my face was getting more and more gloomy, and their hearts were also a little drumming. Meng Yi was worried that something big would happen in Changsha County, and Li Si thought a lot.
Although Changsha County is not a major grain-producing county, the amount of grain handed over to the state treasury every year is not much compared with other large grain-producing counties. When Yingzheng was alive, he often commended Feng Tuo. Li Si also highly recognized this person, after all, the more grain these counties handed in, the better his "annual report" as the prime minister in charge of the government.
"I have a close relationship with this Fengtuo, although I have not received any favors from him, but if something really happens to Changsha County, I am afraid that Your Majesty will also condemn me......
I don't know what the two of them are thinking below, and I'm not in the mood to know.
With a "snap", Zhang Liang's recital was slammed to the table by me and slid to the feet of Li Si.
Li Si hurriedly bent down to pick it up, vaguely saw the word "harsh government", and already had a rough understanding of what was going on.
He raised his hand and called out "Your Majesty", and held the piece in his hand and handed it to me.
I waved my hand, very irritated.
"Look at it! Meng Yi, order someone to call Feng Zheng over! ”
After reading it, Li Si was also very surprised.
"Your Majesty, if what Zhang Liang said is true, this Feng Tuo actually increased taxes without authorization, risked fertile land with wasteland, and concealed it from the imperial court for ten years. The minister couldn't imagine what kind of dire situation the Qianshou of Changsha County lived! ”
I said angrily, "Trouble? What I'm worried about is not how Qianshou is alive, but whether Qianshou is still alive in Changsha County! According to Zhang Liang, the population of Changsha County has plummeted to less than 11 since the 20th anniversary of the First Emperor! ”
"Damn, if it is found out that this Feng Tuo dares to abuse the people so harshly, I will kill him alive!"
As soon as Feng Zheng entered the hospital, he heard my swearing, and glanced at Meng Yi in astonishment.
"I heard you right, Your Majesty just swore dirty?"
Meng Yi was also dumbfounded and shook his head blankly.
"It's been three years, except for the Surabaya rebellion, Your Majesty has been as steady as Mount Tai, how could he have lost his temper like this. Even the Surabaya rebellion made His Majesty angry like that, and His Majesty never scolded anyone......"
Feng Zai shook his head and took a deep breath.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on."
When the two of them saw Zhang Liang's recital, Meng Yi glanced at Feng Zheng sympathetically, and his eyes seemed to say, "Prime Minister, ask for more blessings." ’
Feng Zai also has a bitter face, and he has nothing to love, but he is secretly complaining about Feng Quji's illness in his heart.
'Daddy, you named yourself and lived your life in peace. Just give me a catastrophe, this time your good son is afraid that he will not escape the catastrophe! ’
