Chapter 10 Disaster Grain Corruption Case
Follow the chamberlain to the side hall of the palace, and after passing through the ceremony, Liang Yi slowly walked into the side hall.
In the side hall, Emperor Zhou was looking through the recital sent by Chu Mengde, and his face was very ugly.
And Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui, who were sitting on both sides, saw Liang Yi coming, and they all got up and bowed.
Because Ling Ziqi was injured, he took leave and went home to recuperate, and it is estimated that he will be at home for a while.
Liang Yi bowed his hand slightly to the two, and then silently walked to the lower left of Emperor Zhou and stood.
Although the crown prince has a noble status, in front of the emperor, there is no reason to sit down casually.
After a long time, I only heard Emperor Zhou snort heavily, smashed the music in his hand hard, and then scolded:
"These things don't know what to do! Moths that bring disaster to the country and the people! Dig out the foundation of the country, I will punish their nine clans! ”
Then his face turned pale, his facial features twisted, and he leaned back on the seat in pain.
"Your Majesty!"
"The emperor takes care of the dragon's body!"
Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui were shocked.
Emperor Zhou's personal servant, Father-in-law Su, supported Emperor Zhou while anxiously ordering outside: "Hurry, quickly pass on the imperial doctor." ”
Liang Yi walked straight to Emperor Zhou's side, raised Emperor Zhou's arm, and pressed Emperor Zhou's mouth with his thumb.
At the tiger's mouth in the palm of the human hand, there is a Hegu acupoint.
The acupuncture points have the effect of relieving pain and activating the meridians.
At the same time, repeated pressure can also calm the mood, which is a more versatile acupuncture point.
Liang Yi pressed less than half a cup of tea, and Emperor Zhou's face gradually calmed down.
At this time, the doctor from the Tai Hospital also hurried to arrive.
After checking the pulse and applying needles, the imperial doctor did not come to any useful conclusions, and could only say that the emperor was in a hurry, and then prescribed a few pairs of medicines to calm the mind and nourish qi.
Regarding the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Liang Yi scoffed a little.
The imperial doctors in the palace were all very timid, and they did not dare to take drastic medicine for unknown symptoms.
This is also why many emperors in history died after recuperating from illness, but there are many strange recipes among the people.
But it's also normal.
The more valuable the patient's status, the more cautious Lang Zhong became.
After all, being cured is nothing more than a reward, and if the doctor is bad, then the head will fall to the ground.
The doctor-patient dispute is indeed difficult to solve for thousands of years.
But then again, he is also proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, and he didn't even see what Emperor Zhou was about.
When he was in Chaoyang Palace, he found that Emperor Zhou's face was pale and his breath was weak, but the frequency was very fast.
This condition is only seen in patients with advanced lung cancer.
But Emperor Zhou's other conditions are very good, and cancer patients don't take advantage of each other at all.
For example, patients with advanced cancer tend to be skinny due to insufficient nutrient supply.
But look at Emperor Zhou, overworked and fattened......
It's obviously the breath of a dying person, but it's not physically.
This made Liang Yi have no idea where to start.
In its current form, Emperor Zhou still has to hold out for quite a long time.
After all, although he was a blockbuster at the poetry conference.
But it is only the right to participate in the game of chess, and it is still weak, and more accumulation is needed to win this game.
Emperor Zhou, who was leaning on the couch, didn't know what Liang Yi was thinking.
But even if you know about it, you won't say anything.
After all, it is a battle for succession, and family affection and the like have long disappeared.
Just now, I was in a hurry, and I had a splitting headache.
saw Liang Yi walk to his side.
If Liang Yi chooses to send himself to see the first emperor at this time, he will not be surprised.
But unexpectedly, the prince just pinched his tiger's mouth, and then gradually the pain eased a lot.
The child was relieving his pain.
Since the death of Empress Yizhuang, Emperor Zhou is like a different person.
There were no more fathers and sons in the palace, replaced by fathers and sons.
Even if it is the son of him and Empress Yizhuang, Liang Yi, who is the crown prince.
When he was a prince, he didn't see any preferential treatment for Liang Yi.
Even after Liang Yi became the crown prince, he didn't show any extra care.
You don't see it, poor Princess Mingtong, she has not returned to the palace for more than ten years, and she has never met Emperor Zhou.
After Empress Yizhuang passed away, the happiest man in the world also died, leaving only the iron-hearted Great Zhou Emperor!
He knew that he was not a good father, and his sons probably had no feelings for him.
However, when the prince was relieving his pain just now, the look of worry in his eyes was real.
I couldn't help but feel a little moved.
However, it was only for a moment, and after the pain was relieved, Emperor Zhou regained his seriousness again.
Turning around, the Great Zhou Emperor is back again.
"Prince, look at this."
After that, Emperor Zhou handed Liang Yi the piece that Gonggong Su had picked up.
Liang Yi didn't shirk it, and after taking it with both hands, he looked at it directly.
This scene, Chu Mengde and Wang Deshui, the two important ministers, saw it in their eyes.
The emperor's intentions were already obvious, which was to involve the crown prince in politics and train future princes.
Liang Yi did not shirk, which made Emperor Zhou very satisfied.
This proves that at least the crown prince can see the current situation and his own situation clearly, and he also has the intention of competing with the second prince and the fourth prince for the heir.
Let's talk about Liang Yi.
After opening the recital, I endured the unaccustomed feeling of looking from right to left, and analyzed it carefully.
This is a prelude to a corruption case.
It's normal, Chu Mengde is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and the concerts he plays are like this nine times out of ten.
But the more he looked at it, the heavier Liang Yi's heart became.
When I saw the back, I even scolded in my heart.
These people even dare to be greedy for the grain used by the imperial court for disaster relief, so they can't take a few heads and copy a few families to sacrifice the flag?
However, after turning the page, the heaviness in my heart turned into shock.
On the recital, Chu Mengde used a very small block to densely record the grain that was greedy for ink:
"There is a shortage of 120,000 stones of grain in the regular closing position"
"Yicang lacks 70,000 stones"
"Xi'an, Baoding, Jinling, Yong'an four large warehouses, the treasury is short of grain totaling 200,000 stones"
"There is a shortage of 1.3 million stones of grain in the four warehouses of the capital division."
"There is a gap in the rest of the prefectures, totaling about one million stones"
A million stone of grain?!
If it weren't for the fact that this was written on the cantata, Liang Yi would have wanted to ask if Chu Mengde, the old boy, had written it blindly.
One million stone of grain is equivalent to 500,000 taels of silver, and in addition, it is a disaster year, and the price has risen more than ten times.
That's five million taels!
You must know that the population of the Great Zhou is about 150 million, and the annual tax revenue is only 40 million taels of silver.
This embezzlement case went to one-eighth of the annual income of the big week!
A corruption case of this level will go down in history.
Thinking of this, Liang Yi turned another page of the chapter.
And on this page, Chu Mengde used a smaller small block.
The content of the previous page only shocked Liang Yi's heart, and this page made Liang Yi's scalp tingle.
I saw that the last page of this piece was densely filled with names.
