Chapter 365: No Book Is Written Without Coincidentality
I frowned, puzzled, "Didn't this matter be mentioned in the report?" I have a reply, the straight road can be sent to increase the history of the superintendent, there is no need for anything else. ”
"Yes, it's just that the Imperial Doctor seems to be a little dissatisfied with the rule of the officials in various places, and the ministers and the queen do not agree, so he is a little ...... when he speaks that day Geng Zhi, the queen was a little displeased, but after asking His Majesty, she returned to the palace. ”
I nodded, I see.
"Li Xiang just said that Yu He is dissatisfied with the rule of officials in various places? What do you mean? ”
Li Si sighed lightly: "It's the matter of iron ore, since the completion of the Shangdang Iron Smelting Mansion, the ore transported to the Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion is of the highest grade, according to the Imperial Doctor, the ore is transported from the Shangdang to Nanyang, and the loss is as high as one percent!" Therefore, it is suspected that the counties along the way are greedy for ink. ”
"What?" I frowned and said, "The loss is so high?" That's more than 20 times more than the previous loss! When did this start? ”
"Just after His Majesty left Xianyang."
I probably understand a little, Yu He must think that Li Youzhong has filled his pockets, because from Shangdang to Nanyang, there is only one Sanchuan County in the so-called counties along the way!
Li Si and Li Shiyun opposed the increase in the supervision of the imperial history at the same time, Yu He must have thought that Li You's greed for ink was connived at by the two, but even so, Yu He would not turn his face directly with Li Si......
I thought for a moment, looked up and smiled: "Yu He is used to speaking like this, presumably the queen has never been in contact with him, so she is unhappy." ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and the minister has also advised the queen."
I muttered, "But why hasn't anyone ever talked about the loss of ore?" Is it credible that the calf said that the amount of ore mined broke new highs? The combination of these two events is somewhat suspicious. ”
"There is no conflict between the two, since the sudden increase in transportation losses, the ore in Nanyang Iron Smelting Mansion can still be used, because the amount of ore mining has increased greatly, and when the two are balanced, the ore transported to Nanyang has not decreased, but has increased."
"I see...... I took a sip of tea and said, "I will arrange for someone to investigate this matter, so Li Xiang doesn't have to bother." ”
"Yes."
After speaking, Li Si got up slowly: "If Your Majesty has no other orders, the minister will retire." ”
Before I could speak, Meng He walked in: "Your Majesty, Doctor Yu Shi asks to see you." ”
Li Si and I are not surprised, with the current situation, if Yu He learned that Li Si came to see me, he would definitely not sit back and watch Li Si get so close to me alone.
I thought about it for a while, and said, "Li Xiang sat down for a while, it just so happened that I had something to tell you two, and Yu He came by coincidence." ”
Li Si was naturally not afraid, nodded and sat down again.
"Call him in."
Yu He bowed his head and came in, bowed: "See Your Majesty!" ”
I beckoned: "No courtesy, sit." ”
Yu He glanced at Li Si and sat down opposite Li Si.
"What's the matter with the Imperial Doctor?"
Yu He chuckled: "Back to Your Majesty, it just so happens that Li Xiang is also here, so as not to let the minister go to the Prime Minister's Mansion again." The minister came this time to supervise the imperial history. ”
Hehe, it's really a coincidence, I looked at Yu He: "What's wrong with the Imperial History?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister mentioned in the report that it has been more than five years since the Changsha County Fengtuo case was completed and the minister went to various places to inspect and supervise the history of the government. However, there seems to be a sense of chaos in the governance of officials in various places today, and the most typical one at present is ......"
Speaking of this, Yu He looked at Li Si with a smile: "Li Xiang, my next words are not aimed at you. ”
The corners of Li Si's mouth pressed down slightly, and he said lightly: "Doctor Yu Shi said carefully, with Your Majesty on top, when it will be our courtiers' turn to discuss what to say and what not to say in front of Your Majesty." ”
The smile in the corner of Yu He's eyes gradually disappeared, but the smile on his face did not weaken at all.
"What Li Xiang taught is that the minister lost his words, please forgive your majesty."
I smiled and said, "Both of them are important ministers of the country, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yu He continued: "The most typical thing is the ore loss of the two iron smelting mansions, or it is more appropriate to be greedy for ink!" ”
"I just heard from Li Xiang that the loss of ore transported from Shangdang to Nanyang is twenty times higher, have you found anything there?"
Yu He paused, and seemed a little surprised that Li Si actually took the initiative to mention this matter.
"Back to Your Majesty, at present, there is conclusive evidence of the ore overturning case of Yu Shi Chengyu, and there is no evidence for the time being. And not only ore, with the construction of more and more roads, the minister is afraid that the construction of roads, which is a major national plan, will also appear corrupt officials embezzle money and grain. ”
I looked at Yu He meaningfully, and said slowly: "Is Li Xing's so-called human witness credible?" ”
Yu He froze in place, was silent for about two breaths, and said cautiously: "This ...... It's hard to say...... The news that Li Xing got was also reported from the prison emperor Shi Feicuran......"
I smiled and asked, "How do you say there's solid evidence?" ”
"This ......"
The forced smile on Yu He's face gradually disappeared.
Seeing that he should have understood what I meant, I said lightly: "The superintendent of the imperial history is only to supervise hundreds of officials, after all, he is not a court lieutenant or a county lieutenant, so I'm afraid that this kind of thing is a little powerless, right?" As to whether the man was a witness or not, and whether it counts as conclusive evidence, it is a bit too early to rush to conclusion. ”
Yu He held back for a long time, and said: "What Your Majesty said is that the minister understands......"
I nodded with satisfaction: "The matter of building the road will be done according to what I said before, as for what you said about the rule of officials in various places, there seems to be something wrong, you are the imperial historian, you can just watch and do this kind of thing, the recall that should be recalled, the investigation that should be investigated, don't be afraid." I still say that whoever is in trouble with my people is in trouble with me! No toleration! ”
Yu He's face improved a little: "Chen understands!" ”
After taking a sip of tea, I said, "It's all you guys who said that I almost forgot about me." ”
They both looked up at me.
"Remember what I said about the rotation system of the Guardian after I returned from the Western Regions?"
"Yes."
I said in a deep voice: "I have thought about it carefully in the past few days, although there is a rotation system for the supervision envoys, the power in the hands of the supervision envoys is still too great. ”
Li Si muttered: "At present, there are five supervision envoys in Great Qin, four of which are far away from the hinterland of Great Qin, and the only one who can check and balance them is the right generals in various places, but in fact, the right generals need to obey the orders of the supervision envoys, which is indeed a bit risky." ”
Yu He's expression eased after what happened just now, and he agreed: "Your Majesty wants to refer to the official configuration of the county and set up an official position such as a county lieutenant?" ”
"Not bad." I rubbed my temples and said: "The county has the county guard, the county lieutenant, and the capital lieutenant, and the county has the county order, the county commander, and the county lieutenant, respectively, the prefect of a place, the chief of the criminal law, and the leader of the soldiers, among which the county lieutenant and the county lieutenant can play the role of checking and balancing the county guard and the county order, and the county lieutenant can actually only obey the orders of the chief, which is the same as the situation of the current supervision envoy. ”
