Also worried about the army out of the fortress is Qiu Yun, he did not stop the sparse, asked the emperor to issue an order to warn the king of Taiyuan, to be cautious in the army, not to take chances.

His constant sparseness made the emperor tired of it, but he had no choice but to leave his sparse in the middle.

However, the emperor still responded to the battle outside the Saiwai, and formed his military staff composed of the former chariot generals Cao Huang, Qiu Yun and Taiwei Pan Ji, and Zhang Meng, who were responsible for guiding the battle outside the Saiwai.

There is another person in the imperial capital who is also worried, that is, the king of Yanping County, the grain depot case broke out, and the Tian family was almost wiped out, but the grain can no longer be recovered, and the grain reserves in the imperial capital have been greatly reduced, and it can be said that it has reached a dangerous realm.

Since last winter, grain prices in the imperial capital have gradually risen, and by spring, grain prices have quadrupled, and the upward momentum has not eased.

The king of Yanping County reminded the emperor of the food shortage in the imperial capital, and told the emperor that if the war outside the fortress continued, the imperial capital would have no more food to adjust.

Liang Qi was ordered to track down the whereabouts of the grain, and at the same time recover the stolen money, secretly, the emperor told Liang Qi through Gonggong Mu that at least three million taels had to be recovered.

But now, a few months have passed, and Liang Qi has only recovered less than one million taels, and then he has not stopped squeezing, saying that he really can't recover it, and there is no result in tracing the whereabouts of the grain.

The emperor called the king of Yanping and Pengzhu to the imperial study and asked them how to solve the food problem in the imperial capital.

The granaries of the Great Jin Dynasty are mainly distributed in three places, Yangzhou, Shuzhou, Jizhou, among them, Yangzhou is the main source of grain for the imperial capital, although the grain output of Shuzhou is high, but the road is difficult, and the transshipment is difficult, so the grain of Shuzhou is generally provided to Qianzhou and Yunzhou nearby.

"The minister looked at the grain transportation volume of the last ten years, and to fill several kilns, the minister thought that it would take at least five years. The king of Yanping County said in a heavy tone, every year Yangzhou Jingzhou has to send a large amount of grain to the imperial capital, which must meet the needs of millions of people in the imperial capital, and the rest can be put into the grain kiln.

Pengzhu's face was not good, his brows were twisted, and when he saw the emperor looking at him, he sighed heavily: "The grain from Jizhou will be sent to Bingzhou, as well as Youzhou, Qingzhou can transfer some of the grain, and Jingzhou." ”

"Prime Minister, I have taken all these into account, Jingzhou's grain also supports Liangzhou and Yongzhou. King Yanping interrupted Pengzhu's words bitterly.

"Shuzhou can provide food to Liangzhou, this year's grain harvest in Qianzhou, can be less than three percent, the same is true for Yunzhou, so the grain saved can be transported to Liangzhou and Yongzhou, and the grain in Jingzhou does not need to be sent to the imperial capital, directly to Yongzhou. Pengzhu said.

"This is very true, so that you can avoid the pain of road trek," the emperor nodded expressionlessly: "Regarding the grain, Shang Shutai and the Prime Minister's Mansion sent a letter to Yangzhou Shenghuai, asking him to send it as soon as possible after the spring tax, as well as the grain from Qingzhou and Xuzhou, as soon as possible." ”

After finishing speaking, the emperor took a sip of tea, and then said: "The case of the grain depot has been tried for several months, Liang Qi Shangshu said that the investigation has been completed, and the silver has been recovered 930,000, what do you think?"

Pengzhu and the king of Yanping were silent, this number was too far from what was expected, the figure of three million, the emperor had revealed it in a small area.

"I think that the grain depot case cannot be closed, and the investigation must be continued, but Liang Qi's talent is limited, and I plan to send someone to try this case again, three Aiqing, who do you think will be sent to try this case?"

There was silence in the study again, and the emperor looked at Peng Zhu, who thought for a while and said, "The minister recommended Lord Xue Xue, Lord Xue has been assisting Liang Qi in trying this case before, and it is logical to replace Liang Qi." ”

The minister agreed. The king of Yanping immediately agreed.

"The grass people objected. Zhang Meng opened his mouth and said, the emperor turned his head to look at him, Zhang Meng said: "Lord Xue Xue assisted Liang Qi in the trial of the grain depot case, if Lord Xue Xue had a way, the grain depot case would have been investigated a long time ago, Liang Qi Shangshu asked to close the case, Lord Xue did not say anything, indicating that he could not help it, or he could not find out, so, for Lord Xue, this case could not be investigated." ”

The emperor nodded, Pengzhu and the king of Yanping were silent, this could not be refuted, the emperor nodded slightly: "This is reasonable, but if it is not Xue Yu, then who will it be replaced?"

"The minister will recommend one person to the emperor," Zhang Meng said: "He Jian, the right supervisor of the former court captain." ”

"He Jian?" the emperor remembered this person, He Jian was the right supervisor of the Tingwei Mansion, this person acted strangely, his methods were ruthless, he was known as a cool official, and he was dismissed for corruption in the ninth year of Taiding.

"This person is now teaching at Qimen Academy, and is responsible for teaching Vinaya. After Zhang Meng finished speaking, he lowered his head.

"Since this is the case, then He Jian, let He Jian be reinstated, no, serve as the left supervisor of the Tingwei Mansion, let Liang Qi recuperate due to illness, and the left supervisor of the original Tingwei Mansion will be transferred," the emperor hesitated, not knowing where to place it for a while, and hesitated for a while before saying: "Please ask Peng Qing to arrange it." ”

"Commandment. Peng Zhu bent down to receive the order, and Zhang Meng had already drafted the edict very quickly.

Xue Mimai Xiaonian still assisted in the trial of the case. ”

The will soon reached Shangshutai, Pan Lian gritted his teeth, very unwilling: "He Jian said to a cool official, the first emperor deposed him, and the emperor reactivated it, and let him try the case of the grain depot, is this appropriate?"

"Liang Qi tried the case of the grain depot and recovered nearly one million taels of silver, which can be regarded as his dedication, but the emperor is not satisfied!"

Zuo Chen put down the pen, came over and picked up the court edict and looked at it, his brows furrowed, he didn't like He Jian very much, thinking that it was against the benevolence of the sage.

Qiuyun didn't speak, he knew very well in his heart that this was the emperor's dissatisfaction with Liang Qi, and the emperor's pressure was also very great.

"Since the emperor has already made an order, let's do it according to the will. Qiu Yun said calmly.

Pan Lian's heart was bitter to the extreme, he didn't want to stamp this holy oracle, but now he couldn't control Shangshutai, Pan Ji rarely came to Shangshutai, and he had clearly told the emperor that after this battle, he would resign from the post of Taiwei and go home.

Pan Ji's actions made him angry, his own brother actually didn't support him, the rise and fall of the Pan family was just his own business.

Although Zuo Chen was unwilling, he thought about it and nodded: "What Lord Qiu said is very true, since the emperor has made an order, let's do it according to the will, these moths, let He Jian clean them up." ”

Pan Lian looked at the holy decree and knew that he had completely lost control of Shang Shutai, and now Shang Shutai had become the emperor's seal change agency.

The emperor has finally achieved his goal.

Pan Lian is naturally not an incompetent person, he knows the emperor's purpose, the five ministers left by the first emperor, Gan Tang Zhishi, Pan Ji can ignore everything, Qiuyun Zuochen will not listen to him at all.

Now, the king of Yanping County and Xue Mi have entered Shangshutai, these two people should look at the clan, and naturally they will not listen to him.

After being stunned for a while, Qiu Yun and Zuo Chen didn't pay attention, and Pan Lian finally had no choice but to cover the big seal of Shangshu Ling.

He Jian was forty-two years old, tall, dignified, and heroic between his eyebrows.

This is a common practice, officials above the fourth grade must be promoted to write thanksgiving stickers, and some officials have to accept the emperor's summons before taking office, He Jian belongs to this example.

The emperor was still summoned to He Jian in the imperial study, and when he was still the crown prince, the emperor had seen He Jian, but he was not familiar with it at that time, and he did not dare to be familiar with it.

The emperor didn't say anything, just comforted him and told him to do his best and not have any worries.

"You have to remember that I am your backer, do it boldly, don't pay attention to the gossip, I am not the kind of person who listens to the wind or the rain. ”

The emperor encouraged him again and again, and He Jian replied with a calm expression and a firm tone: "Please rest assured that Your Majesty will never retreat because of difficulties, and will do your best to share your Majesty's worries." ”

The duet between the monarch and the minister did not last long, and after He Jian withdrew, he did not leave immediately, but was led to another courtyard by the eunuch.

"Lord He, it's gratifying to be able to return to the imperial court. ”

Gonggong Lin got up and said with a smile, He Jian naturally knew this middle-aged eunuch with an unknown reputation, and he hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

"I've seen Gonggong Lin," He Jian didn't shy away from it, and said directly: "The case of the grain depot is very long and involves a lot, if you want to find out thoroughly, I'm afraid it will be very difficult, the emperor's meaning, the lower officials are not very clear, and I ask Gonggong Lin for guidance." ”

Gonggong Lin laughed secretly in his heart, this He Jian is not a stupid person, he motioned He Jian to sit down, and He Jian carefully sat on half of his buttocks.

"My lord is right, it is very difficult to thoroughly investigate the case of the grain depot, according to our family's opinion, as long as the silver is recovered, I believe that the emperor's anger will disappear. ”

He Jian suddenly realized that the case of the grain depot shocked the government and the opposition, and this case attracted the attention of the government and the opposition, and Liang Qi did his best in this case, but the emperor was still not satisfied, and now it seems that the emperor is dissatisfied with the more than 900,000 taels of silver recovered.

But as far as he knew, Liang Qi had already copied Tian Ning and his son's homes, and all those involved had copied their homes, so he had collected more than 900,000 taels of silver, and where else could he get silver?

"Tian family, only Tian Ning is involved? Tian Ning only has more than 300,000 taels of silver?"

He Jian suddenly realized, and also gasped in his heart, Lin Gonggong took out a roll of documents from his sleeve, put it on the desk, and a little eunuch sent the documents to He Jian.

"It's good for adults to take this scroll back and read it, but don't show it to anyone else. Gonggong Lin reminded, and after speaking, he got up, and He Jian hurriedly got up and bowed to see him off.

After Gonggong Lin went out, he picked up the paperwork, and after only reading a few pages, he couldn't help but sweat coldly.

Liang Qi recuperated due to illness, He Jian took the throne in a flash, and continued to try the case of the grain depot, which flashed the eyes of many people in the imperial capital.

The people who were secretly following the case were frightened and began to make some moves.

Yu Shitai was a sparse in the imperial history, thinking that it was inappropriate for the imperial court to appoint He Jian, He Jian was notorious, and when he was the first emperor, he committed the crime of corruption, so he resigned, and it was very inappropriate to use such a person to try the grain depot case that the government and the opposition were concerned about.

After the emperor saw it, he didn't think about it, and planned to leave the music in the middle of the matter, but Zhang Meng felt that this matter should not be underestimated.

"This is a temptation to see how His Majesty reacts. ”

The emperor suddenly woke up, condensed slightly, picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on the note, and then handed it to Zhang Meng: "Mingfa Di Bao." ”

Zhang Meng smiled, picked up the music and went out.

Xue Mi was also a little surprised, he couldn't understand that even if Liang Qi went down, he should take over by himself, why did he suddenly fall down He Jian.

"My lord, this He Jian is a veteran of criminal punishment and a master of making money, Lord Xue is young and doesn't know these ghosts in the officialdom. ”

Mai Xiaonian's comfort made Xue Mi feel a lot more relieved, so he had the heart to see this He Jian's methods.

The emperor was dissatisfied with the recovered stolen money, this news had already been revealed to him in the palace, but how did Liang Qi get the silver, he was involved in the whole city, to put it simply, everything that could be copied was copied, and everything that should be closed was closed.

Tian Ning Tian Rong's family, several grain depot officials and their families are all in Tingwei Prison, Xue Mi can't think of any other way to make money.

But He Jian's first day in office was an eye-opener for Xue Mi and Mai Xiaonian. 2k reading web
