Song Jingsheng took the road of Hejian and Daimyo, because he didn't want to go to Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which were Guo Dan's territory, but Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping chose Zhangde, Weihui Mansion, and Kaifeng to come down.

They wanted to stop by to see the situation in Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, and they were also very suspicious of this, and from Guo Dan's mouth, disaster relief was like child's play.

Of course, they didn't make a noise, they just watched secretly.

When I came to Weihui Mansion, sure enough, there was no atmosphere of disaster at all, but more vitality than before.

The grain store was full of grain, but no one went to buy it.

It doesn't look like we're in a disaster at all.

If they hadn't seen a large number of hired farmers rebuilding their homes with the little silt left, they wouldn't have believed that there had been a flood here not long ago.

It's just incredible.

However, they did not stay in Weihui and Kaifeng for long, after all, they were on this trip to deal with the civil unrest in Guide Mansion.

As far as matters are concerned, this cabinet minister personally went out, and of course the situation is different.

The Daimyo Mansion and Xuzhou on the edge of Guide Mansion all hurriedly transported the grain, and issued a death order that they must arrive at Guide Mansion before Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue.

The two of them are not gods, in fact, the Chinese gods can't rely on their incorruptible tongues to convince those hungry people, and it seems that only the gods of India have such great power in ancient and modern China and abroad.

In any case, this food must be in place first.

Otherwise, the rest of the work will not begin.

At the same time, the Guide Mansion also publicized to the people, everyone should be calm and impatient, the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, and has sent Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping, two cabinet ministers, to come, and the problem will definitely be solved.

There is no mention of civil unrest, that is, there will be no accountability in this regard.

Those landlords quickly accepted it when they saw it, and no longer continued to incite the people.

Therefore, when Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping came to Guide Mansion, the people were no longer making trouble.

Then again, if it wasn't safe, it wouldn't have allowed them to enter Guide House.

After all, it is the big leader.

The first thing Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping did when they entered Guide Mansion was to immediately order that grain should be taken out and given relief to the people, but the grain should be distributed on a rural basis based on the number of people in each village.

The purpose was to force the people to go home so that they could not gather.

When this decree came, the people dispersed.

Guide to the government of the German government.

"My lord, the lower official is really wronged!"

Chen Weien knelt on the ground and wept bitterly: "It's all because Guo Dan made a bad move, so that the Guide Mansion almost fell into a place of no return." ”

"Really?"

Wang Xijue looked at him coldly and said, "What bad trick did Guo Dan use?" ”

Chen Weien immediately said: "The lower officials obeyed the disaster relief system of the imperial court, ordered to limit the rise of grain prices, and at the same time hoped to borrow grain from those grain merchants and landlords for disaster relief.

At the same time, Guo Dan secretly sent people to spread rumors in Guide Mansion, causing panic among the people. But in order to calm the people's hearts, the lower officials made this decision to let the people go to the rich people's houses to eat food first. ”

Song Jingsheng on the side immediately said: "Two adults, this official can also testify, indeed, many grain merchants in Guide Mansion have transported grain to Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion these days, so that side was immediately restored, and at the same time, there are indeed many rumors in Guide Mansion."

The lower officials thought that Guo Dan was indeed suspicious, and if the disaster relief situation of Guide Mansion was not as good as that of Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion, then he could use this to ask His Majesty for credit, and at the same time want the people to prove that he was better than all officials. ”

Having said that, Song Jingsheng actually hated Chen Weien very much in his heart, but he had no choice, he insisted that Guo Dan had no experience in disaster relief at all, and seeing that there was such a big gap in the situation, how could it end.

He must safeguard his own interests and maintain the authority of officials, plus Chen Weien insisted that Guo Dan did it, so of course he chose to support Chen Weien.

What the facts are, it doesn't matter.

What matters is power and interest.

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue frowned when they heard this, and looked at each other, their eyes were worried.

They didn't expect that the other party would put the blame on Guo Dan, who had already returned to Beijing.

But they all understood that Chen Weien had intentions.

There have been too many cases before, as long as Guo Dan is involved, the ministers are indiscriminate and unreasonable, and blindly attack Guo Dan.

You're a fart better than an adult, and adults are still mixed up?

"Really?"

Wang Xijue suddenly sneered.

Chen Weien only said: "The lower officials dare not deceive the adults. ”

"Good!"

Wang Xijue nodded and said: "This official is true when what you say, Guo Dan speculated on high grain prices and deliberately induced the grain merchants of Guide Mansion to sell grain to Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion, but the problem is that the local people must be able to afford this high-priced grain!"

If the people of Guide Mansion can also buy grain at this price, then this grain does not need to be sold to Kaifeng Mansion and Weihui Mansion. ”

Chen Weien's eyes rolled and said: "My lord, Guo Danfu is rival to the country, some are money, he hurts people with his own book, and the lower officials don't have so much money to fight him!" ”

Wang Jiaping snorted: "You are not as rich as Guo Dan, but every year the government has a lot of grain left, but the official heard that in less than a day, the grain in the reserve warehouse will be exhausted, and the official asks you, where is the grain in the reserve warehouse?" ”

“.......！”

Wang Xijue also asked with a heavy brow: "As far as this official knows, Guo Dan raised the price of grain early on, but at that time, there were no grain merchants to transport grain to Kaifeng Mansion, it was you who first ordered the victims to go to the rich to eat grain, which caused the grain merchants to transport grain to Kaifeng Mansion, so that there was a civil unrest in the end." In addition, it was also a flood, why did Kaifeng Mansion not burst the embankment, but Guide Mansion did. ”

"Xiaguan... Xiaguan...! ”

Chen Weien immediately hesitated.

He really forcibly smeared it, it can't stand scrutiny, how can he hide it from Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping, even Song Jingsheng knows that he is cheating.

Wang Xijue suddenly slapped the table, "It's really unreasonable, so far, not only do you not repent, but you also want to shirk your responsibility, slander others, and deceive your superiors and subordinates." Someone! Take Chen Weien to the official. ”

"My lord, I am wronged! The lower officials were unjustly obtained. ”

"Your Excellency."

Song Jingsheng also hurriedly stood up.

Wang Xijue glanced at it coldly and said, "Song Shilang, have you already arranged all the food?" ”

Song Jingsheng was stunned, nodded and said, "Xiaguan will arrange it." ”

After Song Jingsheng went out, Wang Jiaping sighed with emotion: "It seems that everyone now knows that as long as the responsibility is pushed to Guo Dan, no matter how big the mistake is, it can avoid being punished." ”

Wang Xijue said: "But this situation must be stopped, if it goes on like this, everyone has nothing to fear, and this time we must not compromise on this." ”

In fact, he just ordered to take down Chen Weien, which already shows that he doesn't want to compromise this time.

Wang Jiaping asked, "I don't know what you're going to do?" ”

Wang Xijue sighed: "In recent years, disasters have occurred frequently, but the government's disaster relief is repeatedly unsmooth, just like this time, in the end, the imperial court will spend a greater price to relieve the disaster, although the natural disaster cannot be prevented, but at least to put an end to this man-made disaster, in fact, the harm of man-made disasters is far greater than natural disasters." ”

He has been persuading Wanli that there have been many disasters in recent years, and the disaster relief system must be improved, and he has always wanted to reform in this area, and he has been studying the disaster situation.

But the problem is that he wants to reduce taxes, and Wanli is reluctant.

Wang Jiaping deeply agreed: "The disaster relief system formulated in the early days of the founding of our dynasty has already existed in name only, and if it continues like this, my Ming Dynasty will lose in this disaster relief sooner or later." ”

Wang Xijue said: "But the top priority is to not let Chen Weien's conspiracy succeed, we must immediately play Your Majesty, explain the origin of the matter, and at the same time commend Guo Dan for the disaster relief in Kaifeng and Weihui, which can also be used to explain the necessity of reform." ”

He knew that if he didn't hurry up to explain what was going on, the matter would turn into a partisan struggle again, and once it turned into a political struggle, it would become very complicated.

Wang Jiaping sighed a little and said: "At present, the situation in Zhangde Mansion is still not optimistic, and the civil unrest has caused those areas that have not been affected to become a mess, and we can also use Guo Dan to help Guide Mansion recover." ”

If Guo Dan is asked to help, it is actually an indirect recognition of Guo Dan's success.

It's a pity that it's too late.

Chen Weien had already played the imperial court, put all the responsibility on Guo Dan, and at the same time wrote some secret letters to the ministers of the DPRK and China.

Su Xu has studied officialdom very thoroughly, he knows that Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue may not take care of Chen Weien, but the thief captures the king first, and the main battlefield is in the imperial court, not in Guide Mansion, as long as the imperial court supports Chen Weien and puts pressure on the emperor, then Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping are helpless.

Royal Stud Farm.

Wanli sat in the office, looked at Shen Shixing expressionlessly, and asked, "What do you think of the Qing family?" ”

Shen Shixing bowed and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

Wanli snorted angrily: "Guo Dan came back with great achievements, not only did I not reward him, but I was forced to put him under house arrest, but those people still refused to let him go. ”

He is not stupid, as soon as he looks at this piece, he knows what tricks the other party is playing.

On the issue of Guo Dan, there is no right or wrong, there is no indiscriminateness, and there is no reason to talk about it.

Shen Shixing immediately said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be retreated again, if this matter is allowed to succeed again, then even if the officials below make mistakes, they can also pass the buck to Guo Dan, even if the ministers fight for this old life, they will not let them succeed." ”

He's so tired of being in harmony with the mud now!

It was he who proposed Guo Dan under house arrest at the beginning, mainly to take into account the overall situation, to sacrifice Guo Dan's little scenery to maintain the prestige of officials, which is very worthwhile, but I never thought that the other party would have to fight backwards, reverse black and white, and the situation became more complicated.

That's a lot of excess.

Shen Shixing is also unbearable.

Wanli was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed again: "Actually, the Qing family is not at fault, and the Qing family just wants to maintain the face of officials, after all, I still have to rely on officials to govern the country." ”

He was angry, but he agreed to Shen Shixing at that time, also because he knew what was at stake, and the problem still exists today.

He pointed out that it was difficult to ride a tiger, because he was in charge of Guo Dan, and the prestige of the court would be severely damaged, which was not conducive to his rule, and if he didn't call the shots for Guo Dan, then Guo Dan would really become the target of the public, and any dirty water would be poured on Guo Dan in the future.

Shen Shixing glanced at Wanli, and also understood Wanli's helplessness, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen believes that with Guo Dan's current status, he must no longer be just a businessman. ”

Wanli's eyes widened.

This sentence really hit the nail on the head!

If you trace back to the source, in fact, the root of all problems is that Guo Dan is just a businessman, which involves class issues, in fact, the Ming Dynasty did not oppose businessmen as officials, but you also have to be an official!

If Guo Dan is an official, then these problems will not exist, maybe there are many officials who will support Guo Dan, and the imperial court can naturally reward meritorious deeds, and adults have outstanding abilities, that is as it should be, otherwise, why do I rule you, not you rule me.

But if you do it upside down, then everyone will be embarrassed.

You are stronger than me, but I rule you, this logic does not make sense.

If it turns out that the merchants are better than the adults, and everyone acknowledges it, then there will inevitably be people who wonder why the merchants should not be allowed to rule the country.
