Chapter 740: Waves (Asking for Votes)
The people of Cangzhou County rioted, not only seized the granary, but also killed the local county order and county officials. Although the rebellion was quickly quelled, the emperor still sent the Qin messenger after knowing about it.
The Qincha sent by the emperor was Jiang Jing, who was also Yuchen's cousin. Because Yuchen became the queen, everyone in the Jiang family was also reused by the emperor. It's not that Yuchen doesn't want to bring up his mother's family, but the heirs of the third room of the Han family are all Adou who can't be supported, that is, Han Jingyan, who is still a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and has not been promoted.
Jiang Jing was very capable, and when he arrived in Cangzhou, he quickly found out the reason. It turned out that the county order of the county was arbitrary, not to mention all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and when the Chinese New Year was approaching, everyone had to pay the braid tax. The braid tax, as the name suggests, means that everyone has to pay taxes for braids. Those officials are no different from bandits, they catch chickens and dogs if they can't collect taxes, and they take people to offset if they don't have anything. At the end of the year, many people couldn't get by, so there was a riot.
When the emperor saw this excerpt, he directly ordered the county order and other officials involved in it to be beheaded for public display.
No one else has any objection to the emperor's disposition,
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Yan Wushuang smiled and said to the eldest lord of the Yu family: "There are so many taxes in the county, and only more than 40,000 taels of silver have been confiscated, doesn't the eldest lord Yu think it is strange?" Well, to be precise, the local officials have now become the emperor of the soil.
The eldest master of the Yu family looked vigilant and said, "What does Yan Guogong want to say?"
Yan Wushuang smiled and said, "What can I say?" I'm just a little weird. Since Master Yu doesn't want to say it, forget it. With that, he strode out of the palace.
The eldest lord of the Yu family looked at Yan Wushuang's back, speaking of which, in the court, what he couldn't see through the most was Yan Wushuang. It was extremely ruthless when he started, but there was no other movement other than that.
When he arrived at the harem, the emperor had an angry look on his face.
Yuchen knew about Cangzhou, how could he not know the reason when he saw the emperor's face. He brought a cup of hot tea to the emperor and said, "Take a sip of tea and dissipate your anger." ”
The emperor didn't take the tea, but said: "I entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and this is how he did it?" It's just that the officials below defend each other, and Jiang Jing didn't raise anything inappropriate, and there was no reason for the emperor to want to rectify Cangzhou.
Yuchen put the tea on the table of golden silk nanmu, sat next to the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, how do you say this?"
The emperor threw the fold in his sleeve on the table and said, "See for yourself what is going on?" The tyrannical expropriation of the lower levels made it impossible for the common people to live their lives, thus triggering riots or rebellions.
Thinking of this, the emperor slapped the golden silk nanmu table, "All of them should be killed." ”
The teacup shook so violently that the tea shook out. Yuchen was startled, and hurriedly called Shiqin and said, "Hurry up and get the scalding medicine?"
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't make a fuss, it's not hot." "The tea didn't touch the emperor's hand at all.
Yuchen took the fold and looked at it carefully, and found that what was written on the fold was stable. Yuchen frowned and said, "Your Majesty, didn't my cousin fold it?" Even Yuchen knew that it was wrong to copy more than 40,000 taels of silver from the county government. If the county order only greedy more than 40,000 pieces of silver, it would not force the people to riot. Therefore, there is a problem with where the money is going, and there is no mention of it at all.
The emperor said with a cold face: "There is no secret fold. "If there had been a secret fold, he would not have been so angry. At that time, Jiang Jing was appointed as Qincha, not only because Jiang Jing was capable, but also because the Jiang family was on his side, but he didn't expect to come up with such a result, how to make him not angry.
Yuchen shook his head and said, "Impossible, it must be on the secret fold." "Even she knows that there is an inside story in this case, how could Jiang Jing not find anything. As for saying that Jiang Jing found out but didn't tell them, Yuchen felt that the possibility was very low.
The emperor's face changed instantly, and he said, "You mean that the secret fold was stopped by someone?" After all, this fold has to go through the hands of several people, and if there is a problem in only one link, the fold will not reach the imperial case. But this secret fold is directly served, and if it is intercepted, you can imagine how rampant the person who did this is.
Yuchen said: "Your Majesty, you can only know the truth about this matter when your cousin returns to the capital." ”
It's a pity that Jiang Jing will never return to the capital again. Because Jiang Jing was beaten to death by those angry people, all the entourage around Jiang Jing also died. When the news reached the capital, Yuchen shook his head and said, "How is this possible? How could so many guards around my cousin be killed by the mob?"
Zhao, the eldest lady of the Jiang family, wiped her tears and said, "Master Hou said that the second master must have been calculated. "Marquis Jiang is not in good health, and now the title has been inherited by his eldest son Jiang Wei.
Yuchen's face was full of frost, and after half a ring, he said: "No matter who the people behind the scenes are, I must make them pay for the second cousin's life." "Dare to do such a poisonous hand, completely ignoring the emperor and her.
The Zhao family came over to tell Yuchen about this, just to get a result. Now that Yuchen has expressed her attitude, she can also make a difference: "Queen Mother, the ancestor is not in good health, and we will hide this matter now." ”
Yuchen nodded and said, "I can't let my grandmother know about this." "The ancestor of the Jiang family is old, and his health has always been poor.
Zhao said: "Don't worry, I won't let the ancestors know." "If the old ancestor knows, maybe the Jiang family will be worried. It's just that this matter can be concealed for a year and a half at most, and it won't be possible to do it for a long time.
When Yuchen heard this, he was relieved. At that time, Marquis Jiang also hid the ancestor of the Jiang family from the ancestor of the Jiang family, but fortunately, Marquis Jiang came back in the end. Although he was not in good health, he came back alive.
It turned out that Yuchen was relieved too early. Early the next morning, Yuchen heard that the ancestor of the Jiang family had gone west.
Yuchen got the news and was a little stunned for a moment. However, Yuchen quickly calmed down: "What's going on?"
Zhao cried and said: "The old ancestor knew that the second master was gone, and he didn't mention it in one breath, so he went." "It happened so suddenly, they were stupid when they got the news.
Yuchen suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "Who told my grandmother the news that my second cousin was gone?"
Zhao said with tears in his eyes: "It's Jiao Xing, it was Jiao Xing who served last night." ”
Yuchen naturally knew who this Jiao Xing was. Jiao Xing was bought from outside, because she was smart and clever, she was favored by the ancestors of the Jiang family and placed by her side. From the lowliest rough maid to the personal maid, Jiao Xing spent ten years: "Who instructed her to murder her grandmother?"
Zhao shook his head and said, "Jiao Xing is already dead, and she died by throwing herself into the well." "Jiao Xing is dead, and there is no proof of death.
On the same day, Jiang Wei was on Ding Wei's fold. Zhao is a woman, and he doesn't know the depth of the water. Jiang Wei saw the crisis from it, and if he helped the emperor to do things, all the people of the Jiang family had to accompany him, so in order to protect the Jiang family, Jiang Wei retreated.
And at this time, Yan Wushuang took the initiative to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Buxian County to investigate this matter thoroughly. ”
The eldest master of the Yu family had a bad intuition, so he stood up and recommended Lin Fengyuan to be the Qin errand. Lin Fengyuan returned to the capital after the matter was settled, and is now serving in the infantry battalion.
Compared with Yan Wushuang, the emperor believed in Lin Fengyuan more. immediately ordered Lin Fengyuan to be sent to investigate the affairs of Cangzhou.
As a result, Lin Fengyuan also had an accident. Lin Fengyuan was ambushed when he was returning to Beijing and fell off his horse. There was no danger to his life, but his leg was broken.
Ah Da looked at Lin Fengyuan's feet that were swollen like pig's trotters, and it took a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, and he had to take a hundred days to get better. Ah Da said: "Raised by a son of a bitch, if you let me know who made the poison, I want his life." "It's really a bad thing to do on the road.
Lin Fengyuan said: "Three months is three months, anyway, the affairs in the military camp are up to you and Gu Jiu." "He was halfway in and was ostracized by the generals below. It took half a year to govern the following generals well. It's just that Lin Fengyuan is very upset in his heart, there are rebellions outside, but the three military camps on the outskirts of Beijing are not moving, Lin Fengyuan is so tired that he can't do it, he will be trying to find a way to serve in the military camp!
Ah Da felt that Lin Fengyuan's attitude was very strange, and said, "General, why aren't you angry at all?"
Lin Fengyuan said with a smile: "What is there to be angry about? Let's remember this hatred first, and one day they will return it with interest." ”
Ah Da was very puzzled and asked, "We haven't found out yet, how do you know who is the murderer, General?"
Lin Fengyuan said: "It's not the Yu family, it's Yan Wushuang." Left and right can't escape them. "As for whether it is Yu Jia or Yan Wushuang who is the murderer, as long as you continue to investigate, you can find clues.
The errand to Cangzhou finally fell on Yan Wushuang's head, but was given to Chen Yu.
Taininghou said: "Yu'er, you must be careful this time. He felt that the matter in Cangzhou was not as simple as it appeared on the table.
Chen Yu nodded.
Taininghou thought for a while and said: "There is an accident in Cangzhou, and I always feel uneasy. Yu'er, I want your brother to return to Beijing. "I've been out there for so long, and I've definitely matured a lot. When I return to the capital, I can also be their help.
Chen Yu disagreed, and said: "The water in the capital is getting muddy, and the second brother will definitely be involved when he returns to Beijing." Dad, let the second brother stay in the place. The second brother is an official who is fair and honest, even if something happens, he will not be implicated. ”
Taininghou thought about it for a moment and said, "I'll talk about this matter when you come back from Cangzhou." "Let's look at the situation first, and then decide whether to let my youngest son return to Beijing. R1148
