Gonggong Lin felt that it was time for the emperor to make a move, but Gonggong Mu felt that it was still early, when he walked into the Palace of Nourishing Heart, the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn, Gan Tang knelt on the ground, Pan Lian Pan Ji stood on one side, Qiuyun Cao Huang stood on the other side, and Xue Yu stood at the bottom of the emperor, looking a little excited.

"Get up!" The emperor swept the ministers, saw Gonggong Mu who had just come in, calmed down, and said to Gan Tang: "I don't blame you for this, the Gaozhang River burst the embankment, and the Jizhou Assassin Zhang Mi is to blame! In the seventeenth year of Taiding, the imperial court spent 1.2 million taels of silver to repair the embankment, and I remember that last year it also allocated 300,000 taels of silver to repair it, and passed the decree, and the Jizhou Assassin Zhang Mi was dismissed, handed over to the court lieutenant for trial, and the decree was passed on, Jingzhao Yin Chen Xuan was appointed as the Jizhou Assassin History, and told Chen Xuan to check how this embankment collapsed!"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at everyone: "Zhu Qing discussed, who will take over Jing Zhaoyin?"

The ministers looked at each other, did not speak, there are unforeseen storms and clouds in the sky, yesterday the imperial court received an urgent report from Jizhou, the Gaozhang River burst its embankment in the autumn flood, three counties of Handan County were flooded, and seven counties were affected.

Jizhou, an important town of the imperial court, one of the three major granaries in the world, taxes and grain are an important source of finance and taxation for the imperial court.

The Gaozhang River traverses Jizhou, in the seventeenth year of Taiding, the imperial court allocated 1.2 million taels of silver, Jizhou itself raised 200,000 taels of silver, repaired the embankment along the coast, last year, the imperial court allocated 300,000 taels of silver from the tight finance to repair, but never expected that the embankment would collapse this year, and it was at this time, how to make the emperor not angry.

The Gaozhang River burst its embankment, hundreds of thousands of victims, and they were in urgent need of relief, but fortunately, Gu Wei got nine million taels of silver in Yangzhou, otherwise this silver would not know where to go.

Under the emperor's anger, he wanted to remove Zhang Mi from his post as the assassin of Jizhou, but Prime Minister Gan Tang objected, believing that Zhang Mi's responsibility was not great, mainly the responsibility of Kangcheng, the Shou of Handan County, and Zhang Mi, the assassin of Jizhou, should be investigated.

The opposition to Gan Tang further aroused the anger of the emperor and angrily reprimanded Gan Tang, and Gan Tang had to kneel down and plead guilty.

No one in the hall spoke, the emperor frowned slightly, looked at Pan Lian and Gan Tang, and asked coldly: "Why, there are no candidates for the Taishi and the Prime Minister?"

"Your Majesty, the minister recommended Shi Fanyun, the former governor of Yanzhou. Peng Zhu stood up and said, the former Yanzhou assassin Fan Yun was dismissed in the twelfth year of Taiding, and he is still at home now.

"The minister does not approve," Pan Lian said quietly: "Fan Yun has a bad reputation, and he is not suitable for the imperial court to guard one side, Your Majesty, the minister recommended the five soldiers Cao Lingcheng Feng Che, Feng Che is magnanimous and talented, and he is more than enough to serve as the assassin of Jizhou." ”

Peng Zhu raised his head to refute, the emperor glanced at him, Peng Zhu was silent immediately, these two people, the emperor knew that Fan Yun was originally a member of the prince's mansion, and was later recruited by Meng Dai of Yanzhou Assassin History as the long history of the assassin, but when the prince was weak, Meng Dai dismissed him and almost was exiled.

As for Feng Che, the current five soldiers Cao Shangshu, this person was born in the Feng family in Yuzhou, and there are many families in Yuzhou, and the Feng family is considered a medium gatekeeper.

"Feng Che?" the emperor shook his head after a little contemplation: "The war in Liangzhou is tight, Feng Che is familiar with military affairs, and he can't move for the time being, let's talk about it later, what about Fan Yun?

The minister thought that Fan Yun had a bad reputation in Shilin, and it was really inappropriate to rashly promote the important position, so the minister recommended Zhu Han, the county guard of Bohai County. Gan Tang said cautiously: "Zhu Han has served as Jizhou, and it has been six years since he was the county guard of Bohai County, Your Majesty, it will take time for the war to subside outside the Saizhou, although Jizhou has been affected, it is only a small part of Jizhou, and it has little impact on Jizhou'.....s finances and taxes." ”

"I'm talking about Jing Zhaoyin! It's not Jizhou Assassin History!" The emperor held back his breath and reminded coldly: "Gan Aiqing!"

A layer of fine sweat broke out on Gan Tang's head, and he said in fear: "Minister, minister, rudeness, please forgive the emperor!"

Saying that he was about to kneel down again, the emperor shouted impatiently: "Forget it, forget it, you go back first, discuss it, and give me a choice." ”

Everyone retreated, but Pengzhu Xue Yu stayed, and the emperor scolded angrily: "This Gantang is really old!"

"Gan Tang is not old but frightened, this person has always been timid, the emperor was angry and scared him. Xue Mi said with a smile on the side.

Peng Zhu also smiled: "Your Majesty, this opportunity is good, Zhang Yu should have pulled it out a long time ago, and it is also suitable for Chen Xuan to go." ”

"What about Jing Zhao Yin? Let Feng Che serve as Jing Zhao Yin? I'm afraid he himself doesn't want to. The emperor said coldly, Jing Zhao Yin's official position is not big, but the position is very important, Feng Che is the fifth soldier Cao Lingcheng, in terms of grade and Jing Zhao Yin, they are all four-rank members, but the fifth soldier Cao is responsible for weapon manufacturing, officer evaluation and promotion, etc., high authority, although Jing Zhao Yin is also high and powerful, but Jing Zhao Yin is responsible for the security of the imperial capital, and he is doing things that offend people, Chen Xuan has offended many people in this position.

"What about Fan Yun?" Peng Zhu asked, before the emperor could speak, Xue Yu had already interjected: "Fan Yun can't do it," he said and nodded slightly at Peng Zhu: "Fan Yun has been away for too long, and he can be a county guard in the state and county, but Jing Zhaoyin's position is too complicated, and Fan Yun is afraid that he can't do it." ”

Xue Mi was very sorry in his heart, he didn't expect the emperor to do it now, Liu Han had reminded him before, Jizhou Wang Xu Men was plotting to seize Jing Zhaoyin, let him be vigilant, if there is a chance, he can take this position, but his foundation is too shallow, and he really can't take out anyone in his pocket, and he sees the opportunity slipping away like this.

The emperor hesitated slightly, Xue Yu hit Fan Yun's biggest weakness, Fan Yun had been away for too long, and he had never been a party chief, he was suddenly promoted to Jingzhao Mansion, and he was really competent to control such a critical place?

"Zhang Meng, what do you think?" the emperor asked, looking up at Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng stood in the corner, when the argument in the hall was fierce just now, he didn't say a word, and at this moment, the emperor consulted, and he came out of the corner.

"Lord Xue is right, neither Feng Che nor Fan Yun is suitable," Zhang Meng said slowly: "Caomin recommends two people to the emperor, Zhishu Yushi Luowu, and Jingzhao Mansion Governor Shi Linxiang." ”

Xue Yu's eyes lit up when he heard this, Luo Wu, how could he forget this candidate; Luo Yu was assassinated, Luo Wu Ding was worried about mourning, and the three-year period expired, and it was time to return to the court to take up his post this year.

Luowu is a member of the Hedong clan, the status of the Luo family is equivalent to that of the Xue family, and the two families are in-laws.

"Luowu, Lin Xiang," the emperor muttered to himself, and suddenly saw Xue Yu: "This Luowu is your relative, right?"

"Yes, my uncle's daughter is married to the son of Cousin Luowu. Xue Mi frankly admitted, but the relationship seems to be a little farther away.

"What do you think of him?" the Emperor asked, unconcerned.

Xue Mi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are asking the wrong person, the family is very strict, this is a martial arts discipline, and the minister, hehe, incompatible, the minister doesn't know much about him." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of the emperor's mouth, Luo Wu was originally in Taixue, and he has always been known for his rigor, and he is completely different from Xue Mi's behavior, I am afraid that he will not look down on a prodigal like Xue Mi.

"Luowu?" Peng Zhu thought for a moment and nodded: "The minister thinks this person is suitable." ”

"What about Lin Xiang?" the emperor asked again, Xue Yu thought for a while and said: "Lin Xiang is from Yingchuan, I heard that he once studied at Qingyang Academy in Langya, Qingzhou, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

"Qingyang Academy?" The emperor was a little puzzled, his eyes turned to Grandpa Mu, and Grandpa Mu nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing." ”

The emperor thought for a moment: "Let's fall into the army." ”

"The emperor is not in a hurry, let's see what Shang Shutai's opinion is. Zhang Meng persuaded tactfully.

"Wait for them, it won't take days. Pengzhu looked disdainful, after returning to the imperial capital, the emperor wanted to promote him to Shangshutai, but the minister objected a lot, and there were wars in Liangzhou outside the Saiwai, and the emperor had to make no decree for the time being, but the emperor also let him participate in the court discussion, and essentially participated in the work of Shangshutai.

"It's time to wait for days. Zhang Meng said lightly, the emperor nodded slightly after hesitation, and Zhang Meng frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, take down the Jizhou Thorn History, and then take Sheng Huai, isn't the action too fast." ”

"He must be taken down," the emperor shook his head and said: "Only by taking Sheng Huai, can Gu Wei let go of his hands and feet, Gu Wei, this person is quite capable, this time he has made great contributions, if it weren't for his nine million, the court may be difficult this time." ”

After saying that, he sighed heavily, Xue Mi also sighed, after entering the center, he understood the difficulties of the imperial court, the Gaozhang River burst its embankment, in fact, the disaster was not great, but if Gu Wei hadn't sent back the silver from Yangzhou, the imperial court would not have been able to take out the disaster relief silver, and the border army would not have military salaries!!

"Wen Tian Wu Huan, if the world is not rectified, it will really rot. Xue Mi muttered to himself, then came to his senses and hurriedly pleaded guilty.

"What are your crimes, but to tell the truth, they always say that Taiding Zhongxing, Taiding Zhongxing, according to me, the country left by my father is an empty shell. The emperor's tone was heavy, and he didn't feel any offense to the first emperor.

Zhang Meng and the three of them didn't dare to answer this, the hall was a little dull, the emperor looked out the window, and after a while asked, "Did you find it?"

"Yes. Father-in-law Mu immediately replied, took out those pieces of information, and sent them to the emperor, but the emperor did not answer: "You can talk about it, let everyone listen to it." ”

Mu Gonggong unfolded the intelligence and read: "In the sixteenth year of Taiding, Sheng Huai expanded the post field to twelve hectares, and in the eighteenth year of Taiding, he forcibly changed the post field, and at the same time occupied five hectares of mulberry field, according to the regulations of the imperial court, officials could not occupy mulberry fields.

From the thirteenth year of Taiding to this year, Sheng Huai received a total of 500,000 taels of silver from Yangzhou salt merchants, and in addition, Yangzhou's salt tax, silk tax, cloth tax, and iron tax over the years dropped from 3 million taels in Taiding 13 years to 1.1 million taels last year.

Sheng Huai's hometown is in Yuzhou Luguo, Taiding 16 years, he bought 300 hectares of land in his hometown, the price of the field is 20 taels of silver, Taiding 17 years, and bought 100 hectares of land, the price of the field is 18 taels. ”

"Twenty taels, eighteen taels!" The emperor sneered again and again: "This Tian of Lu Country is really cheap, Zhuqing, why didn't you buy some?"

Zhang Meng smiled bitterly, and Peng Zhu sighed: "If you want to know that it is so cheap, how can you buy dozens of hectares." ”

Xue Yu was dumbfounded, looked at Gonggong Mu stupidly, and sighed half-loudly: "This, this, alas, the emperor, this Sheng Huai is too rampant!"

"Such a moth must be taken down!"

This sentence, the emperor almost shouted!!
