The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 377 King Zhongshun

Then all the ministers saw that the matter had been finished, and they all bid farewell to the emperor.The emperor also had some concerns at this time, so he didn't let them wave his hand to make them retreat

So Jia Ke and others withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation and returned to the Military Aircraft Department.

After returning to the military plane, Jia Ke held the imperial decree in his hand and said to the others: "My lords, the emperor's imperial decree has been issued now. This is a matter for the household department. Let's send the imperial decree directly to the household department and let them Just deal with it. Wait until the fifth day of June, if they still don’t get the food, we’ll make a fuss about it. What do you guys think.”

The other few people naturally had no objection, everyone had a lot of things to do, how could they be in the mood to take care of him specifically.

Liu Yu stood up and said to Jia Ke: "Master Jia said exactly what he said, we need the Minister of the Household Department to handle this matter. I still have some friendship with the Minister of the Household Department. I wonder if Master Jia can accommodate me. The imperial decree is up to me personally." Send it to the Ministry of Households."

Naturally, Jia Ke knew that Liu Yu and Liu Wan, Minister of the Household Department, had a close friendship.And the two of them are the emperor's right-hand men.

Liu Yu's visit was probably to remind Liu Wan not to take it lightly and handle his errands carefully.Jia Ke didn't have any scruples about this. If Liu Wan could really listen to Liu Yu's words, then the food could be transported to the capital as soon as possible, and the incidents in Shaanxi would save many people from dying.He doesn't need to stop.

"Since Mr. Liu is willing to work tirelessly to go, then I will be lazy." After Jia Ke finished speaking, he raised the imperial decree high above his head and sent it to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu also bowed his head respectfully to accept the imperial decree, and then said to Jia Ke: "My lords, it's getting late, I'll go to the Ministry of Households now."

Jia Ke and the others said, "It's okay for Mr. Liu to go, we will go to the Yamen after a while."

So Liu Yu hurriedly left the military aircraft department.

Seeing him leave, Jia Ke turned around and said to Zuodu Censor Tian Ye, "Master Tian needs to follow up on this matter. I'm afraid that these people will be dishonest and something will happen in the end."

Tian Ye nodded after listening to the lecture. This time, he had to deal with a major event. It was for the lives of tens of millions of people in Shaanxi, and he could no longer embarrass Jia Ke because of differences in personal factions.

"Master Jia, don't worry, this time I will definitely pay attention to the movement of the grain storage road. If there is something wrong with them, I will take them first, and then hand them over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment."

Jia Ke thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to hand it over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Since these people dare to do such a big thing, there must be something to do with it. What if they bribed those jailers, the guards came to kill someone?" Silence, and our clues will be broken in the end."

After Tian Ye heard Jia Ke's words, he was also shocked for a while. It was just like what Jia Ke said, if he was really killed and silenced, it would be nothing but nothing in the end.

"Then according to Master Jia, what should we do?"

"As far as I'm concerned, don't use the Ministry of Punishments and Dali Temple. If they have any troubles, you can report them to me directly, and we don't touch them. We will directly send the news to the emperor and see how Wansui will deal with it."

Tian Ye thought about it for a while. I am afraid that Jia Ke is also afraid of the mastermind behind this group of people. This time the big fish behind the scenes is not something everyone can do.

Besides, Liu Yu bid farewell to everyone, left the military aircraft department, left the palace and went straight to the household department.

When Liu Yu came to the lobby of the household department, Liu Wan, the secretary of the household department, was playing Tai Chi with several officials.

These officials all come to the Ministry of Accounts to ask for money, but this year's funds are really tight, and the money from the Ministry of Accounts can't wait to spend it in half.Now that the year has just started, no one dares to be extravagant, otherwise everyone will have to drink the northwest wind at the end of the year.

As soon as Liu Wan saw Liu Yu, it was like seeing a savior, and the officials immediately said: "Today, Minister of the Ministry of Officials and I have important matters to discuss. Come back to what you said in a few days."

The officials still dared to pester the Minister of the Household Department, but they were very respectful to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials who was in charge of their fate. Now that they saw him coming, they hurried forward to salute him, and then they all bowed and left.

Liu Wan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw these people leaving.

Liu Yu smiled and said to him: "Why is the majestic Minister of the Ministry of Officials forced to be forced into such a state?"

Liu Wan smiled wryly and said, "Brother, don't joke, I'm living like a year now. I really regret that I promised the emperor this matter."

After Liu Yu heard what he said, his face became serious again, "I'm afraid this is just the beginning of what's bothering you." After he finished speaking, he handed the imperial edict in front of Liu Wan.

Liu Wan took the imperial decree out of nowhere, opened it up for a closer look, and immediately sat him down on the ground in fright. It turned out that Liu Wan had known about the Grain Storage Road for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Liu Yu immediately showed anger on his face: "Could it be that my virtuous brother also passed through a few hands?"

Liu Wan immediately got up from the ground, came to Liu Yu and asked, "Brother, what happened this time? The imperial court wants to transport so much grain and grass to the capital."

Liu Yu said bitterly: "I can't tell you what the specific situation is. I just want to tell you that the 150 million tans of grain must arrive in Beijing on the fifth day of June. If there is no grain by then, your household department will go from top to bottom, including The grain storage road is included, I am afraid it will be washed by the emperor."

Liu Wan is already sweating profusely, but he has not committed any corruption in this matter.It's just that this matter involves a member of the royal family. Although this master is no longer in power, he is not so easy to mess with.If he really pushed him into a hurry, the Supreme Emperor would have nothing to do.

But this time Liu Yu said something so serious, I'm afraid something happened in the court that he didn't know about.It seems that the 150 million tans of grain must be transported no matter what.

Liu Wan was already panicking at this moment, the sweat dripping down his face, he had no choice but to beg Liu Yu next to him: "Brother, save me, let me get through this difficult time. Brother, please hold this matter for the younger brother for a while, and when the younger brother slowly collects the food, of course he will not forget the great kindness of the elder brother."

Liu Yu is also helpless now, if he is the only one who knows about this matter, he can secretly suppress it for a while.But everyone at the most basic level understands this matter, even the emperor knows it clearly.How can I suppress this matter.

"My dear brother, listen to my words, don't think about other things now, go and raise food, this time is not a trivial matter, the court will get this batch of food no matter what. If the food near the capital is really Not enough, you can transfer a batch from Jianghuai first, and deal with this time temporarily.” Liu Yu told him the power of it in a vague way, and even thought of a way for him, that is, tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall .

Liu Wan really had no choice. After all, the granary on the grain storage road was almost empty.Let him how to raise so much food in a short period of time.

"Brother, now that I'm here, I can't tell the truth to my little brother. The grain storage road can't even produce a grain of grain. It's really impossible to fulfill the emperor's will." Liu Wan could only highlight Liu Yu in a desperate situation.

Now that he tells the truth, Liu Yu still has a way to help him. If he hides it, no one will be able to save him in the end.

Liu Yu's veins are exposed now, he never expected that the household department would be so bold.The autumn harvest has only been harvested for a few months. According to the records on the books, there should be at least 2000 million dans of grain in the warehouse.They all disappeared in just a few months.

Liu Yu grabbed Liu Wan's chest in a rage, "Where's the food? Where is the food? Are you guys dying?"

Liu Wan was about to cry now, "Brother, I really can't do anything about it. I really can't afford to offend the man in the court. He has already deceived his superiors and subordinates to do this many years ago. It’s just that the harvest is good everywhere in Taiping, so it’s not exposed. Who would have thought that the imperial court would suddenly need such a large amount of grain.”

Liu Yu calmed down and asked, "Who on earth is so powerful that can scare you like this?"

Liu Wan said a name with a painful face: "Lord Zhongshun."

Liu Yu was also taken aback. He didn't expect this incident to be the envoy of King Zhongshun. It seems that it is indeed troublesome.

Since King Zhongshun was reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor, he lost the chance to win the throne, and has been eating, drinking and having fun in the palace, spending money like running water.If it was just like this, nothing major would happen.

Unexpectedly, when the current emperor ascended the throne, King Zhongshun suddenly became active again, forgetting all the cautiousness in the past.

But everyone can understand this. You must know that this period of time has made King Zhongshun miserable. Although every day seems to be happy, for an ambitious prince, this is the biggest torture.

Now that the current emperor is enthroned, King Zhongshun can be active in the political arena again. You must know that the relationship between King Zhongshun and the current emperor is different. After the current emperor's mother passed away, the emperor was fostered by King Zhongshun's mother and concubine. It is said that they grew up together, and they are no different from brothers of the same mother.

Moreover, the relationship between these two people is still very good. Before King Zhongshun was relegated by the Supreme Emperor, although the third prince was the elder brother, he always followed the example of King Zhongshun, fully supported King Zhongshun, and wanted him to ascend the throne.

I don't know that the relationship between the two people is reversed now. Maybe the emperor still feels a little guilty towards him, so he turns a blind eye to the matter of King Zhongshun. As long as he doesn't cause any trouble, the emperor It's completely unquestionable.

Therefore, since the emperor ascended the throne, King Zhongshun began to move around, and the emperor did not care too much about him because of his affection back then.Therefore, he has some party members in the court.

If it's just like this, Liu Yu doesn't take it seriously, but now the emperor has regarded King Zhongshun as a brother of the same mother, and this time Jia Ke is clung to the matter of the grain storage road. Could it be that he already knows who is behind the scenes? King Zhongshun, do you want to give the emperor a good look by doing this now?
