Longevity begins with a dog

Chapter 165 Lou Youzhi Luozi, All Officials Shocked!

Ministry of household according to grinding.

On the first day he took office, Du Qianchuan was furious and scolded the only few subordinate officials bloody, which perfectly interpreted the face of a loser.

Then, an unreasonable order of 'proofreading files and documents of nearly a hundred years' was issued.

You know, the original documents for more than ten years have been sealed and stored in the archives. Who is free to do such a thankless job...

However, although the order was unreasonable, it was reasonable for Du Qianchuan to issue it.

After all, Du Qianchuan suffered too many blows this year.

The several officials had no choice but to take out the sealed documents to proofread, while hoping that Du Qianchuan would calm down soon and walk out of the blow.

The photo mill, which was originally extremely leisurely, suddenly became extremely busy.

And this busy, is the past three months.

Which century?
In three months, the documents sealed by Teruma were turned upside down, the earliest being 300 years ago!
Today, Du Qianchuan sighed suddenly, and said, "Stop it all."

The six inspectors, who were busy checking, were all taken aback, and looked up.

"For a while, I've made things difficult for you,"

Du Qianchuan nodded to everyone, got up and walked outside without saying anything.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and only whispered when Du Qianchuan was far away.

"It's finally over..."

"Yeah, I almost forgot how happy I was."

"This Du Qianchuan is so temperamental, it's been three months... still think he is the chief officer of the Qin Tianjian, and he is under the protection of An Guogong?"

"No, I don't think it's an act of will."

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it, since we started proofreading these papers, has he been so penny-pinching and making things difficult for us?"

"Uh, there really isn't..."

"It makes sense. If you are venting your anger, it is impossible to be so calm."

"So, I think he wants to find something from these files."

"But most of the records in these files are boring and simple numbers. What's there to check?"

"I don't know. Anyway, if you don't want to cause trouble, you should quickly seal up these files and return them."

"This statement is reasonable. No matter whether Du Qianchuan has other purposes or not, anyway, I don't want to see these things anymore..."

"..."

Everyone discussed and began to file the huge number of files as they were.

On the other side, Du Qianchuan had quietly come to the underground palace that was blocked by the Taoist artifact again.

Lou Youzhi was already waiting here.

"You can even count when I will come to find you?"

Du Qianchuan approached expressionlessly.

"How can it be so exaggerated?"

Lou Youzhi shook his head and signaled Du Qianchuan to take a seat, "I've been living here."

"Live here?"

Du Qianchuan paused when he bent over to sit down, and couldn't help but look around.

Although this underground palace is not small and well-furnished, it is buried deep in the ground and the sky is dark no matter what. The dignified chief minister of the cabinet actually lives in the underground palace?

Du Qianchuan sat down, "Since when did it start?"

"Many years."

Lou Youzhi poured a cup of tea for Du Qianchuan, "Back then, I intercepted the Hubu Shangshu who returned home after returning home, and learned that it was Emperor Wenchang who really blocked my disaster relief...Since then, I have lived in this underground palace .”

"Drought in Bingzhou..."

Du Qianchuan's expression turned cold, "In the 41st year of Wenchang, the population of Bingzhou was more than 600 million, and the grain storage in [-] provinces totaled more than [-] million shi."

"Until the end of Wenchang 42, the population of Bingzhou was less than 800 million, and the grain storage in [-] provinces... was still more than [-] million shi."

"No, it's not just the Bingzhou drought."

"Except for disasters such as sea boiling, earthquakes, and sky fires that can kill a large number of people in a short period of time, no matter what the disaster is, it will end with more than half of the casualties when there is no food left."

"The imperial court can not only predict natural disasters, but even deliberately use up food, resulting in ineffective relief. This should be what you asked me to check?"

Du Qianchuan stared at Dou Tianyuan firmly, "To be honest, I can't believe it."

"Let me start from the beginning, and it's time to tell you."

Lou Youzhi's tone was slightly low, "Back then, I was ordered to provide disaster relief to Bingzhou. After begging for more food to no avail, I had no choice but to exchange corn for bran, and then mix it with sand as food for disaster relief... Since then, Jiang Zhihong has been brooding on me, and has been impeaching me for decades."

"Why didn't you speak to him earlier?"

Du Qianchuan frowned.

"Just like you, you can't believe it even after you found out so much by yourself, let alone me, the number one treacherous official, say it directly?"

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "Besides, Jiang Zhihong is a very clean and pure person, I don't want him to get involved in such dirty things...but I didn't expect him to get involved anyway .”

"Elder Jiang..."

Du Qianchuan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Jiang Zhihong.

At that time, he hated Jiang Zhihong, hated Jiang Zhihong for threatening the love between the two, and asked him to help look up the natural disaster records.

But later he found out that Jiang Zhihong had been talking about the marriage for him long before this incident.

Obviously, from the very beginning, Jiang Zhihong wasn't really threatening himself.

"After that disaster relief, I desperately formed a party for personal gain, and desperately climbed up."

Lou Youzhi smiled faintly, "During this process, those who obstructed Bingzhou's disaster relief, one by one, were sent to the execution ground together with their wives, children, and children."

"... Are those charges true or false?"

Du Qianchuan asked.

"Is it important?"

Lou Youzhi asked rhetorically, "Millions of people in Bingzhou turned into souls without even being charged with a crime."

"..."

Du Qianchuan was speechless.

"The last one is the Minister of the Household Department."

Lou Youzhi continued, "I stopped him on his way back to his hometown. He told me that the one who really obstructed the disaster relief... was the late Emperor."

"Emperor Wenchang?"

Du Qianchuan's face darkened.

"I couldn't verify this at the time, so I could only use up my family's wealth at the first time, and secretly built such an underground palace to protect myself, and then started the investigation of natural disasters."

Lou Youzhi continued, "First of all, there is the record of natural disasters recorded by Qin Tianjian... You should have experienced that just by reading the record of natural disasters, there is basically no useful information except for one natural disaster that is becoming more and more frequent."

"Additionally, there is nothing special about the sea boiling in Binzhou not long after... The sea boiling was too fast and too fierce. In just half a month, [-]% of the people in Binzhou died, and the remaining [-]% of the population got Good relief."

"So, I can only attribute the matter of Bingzhou to Emperor Wenchang's insanity."

Lou Youzhi sighed, "I didn't know that I was wrong until the locust disaster in Yongzhou was reported back to the capital, and it was outrageous."

Du Qianchuan looked dazed: "Before the locust disaster, Mr. Jiang hired Fenggu County..."

In the dossier of Zhaomosuo, this was the first thing he noticed.

"Yes."

Lou Youzhi nodded, "At first, I didn't care when he asked for the post. After all, with his contacts and qualifications, let alone a county magistrate, he can choose any position in the local area."

"I didn't realize until the locust disaster in Yongzhou came back to the capital. There can be no such a coincidence."

"I started to investigate the reason, and finally found out through the Ministry of Officials that the clue that 'official vacancies can determine the place where natural disasters strike'... As for why Jiang Zhihong found out earlier than me, it must have come from Beijing in the year of Haibo in Binzhou. Cha Daji got a clue."

Jingcha plan?No wonder……

Du Qianchuan was stunned.

"I think, when Jiang Zhihong guessed this, he felt the same as you. He didn't want to believe it, he didn't dare to believe it...even if he believed it, he would think about it. Does your majesty not know about this kind of foretelling natural disasters? way?"

Lou Youzhi's eyes glowed coldly, "But I don't think so."

"One is because I actually experienced a disaster relief being blocked, and the person who blocked it might be the emperor."

"The second reason is that before the locust plague, granaries everywhere were destroyed."

"Why was the granary destroyed just before the natural disaster?"

"Because there is Bingzhou disaster relief, His Majesty believes that I will definitely do my best to help Yongzhou, but it is just that today is different from the past, and the resources of the provinces are mobilized. I can make a decision... If enough people die in Yongzhou due to natural disasters, just These grain reserves must be destroyed."

Lou Youzhi sneered, "The funny thing is, I only doubted Emperor Wenchang at first, and never doubted His Majesty."

"..."

Du Qianchuan took a deep breath, and his voice trembled a little: "What happened afterwards?"

"later?"

Lou Youzhi squinted his eyes, "Later, Jiang Zhihong did not hesitate to die without a place to bury him, and sent him to Yongzhou in exchange for the people's survival."

"!!!"

Du Qianchuan trembled all over, and his eyes widened suddenly.

"Hehehehe..."

Lou Youzhi smiled, and his eyes turned red for the first time in front of people, "Do you know, in fact, with Jiang Zhihong around, even if the imperial court does not provide disaster relief, the surviving people in Yongzhou can survive."

"However, Mr. Jiang was soon beaten as a traitor..."

Du Qianchuan's hands and feet were cold, and his throat was astringent: "No, not only Mr. Jiang, but the entire Jiang family, all ancestors and ancestors were beaten as traitors..."

"Yes, traitor."

Lou Youzhi clenched his fists under the table, "Can you imagine that a person who has lived for Daqing, the royal family's Daqing all his life, is beaten as a traitor?"

"He...how did he die?"

Du Qianchuan asked this sentence with difficulty.

"Destroy the orifice, reverse the veins, burn the body, fight with the golden armored stupa until the body is smashed to pieces."

Lou Youzhi spit out this sentence word by word, "Until he died, he was trying to find a way for those refugees to survive."

"Unfortunately, he failed."

Du Qianchuan looked sad.

"No, he would have succeeded."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "It was His Majesty who took action and made his plan fall short."

"His Majesty……"

Du Qianchuan could no longer deceive himself at this time.

Because everything proves that His Majesty has a problem.

"As for how Your Majesty did it, have you heard of supernatural powers?"

Lou Youzhi looked at Du Qianchuan, "Your Majesty knows two supernatural powers, one can create clones, and the other can confuse people's hearts..."

Refugees from Yongzhou turned into beasts, Lin Kuang was imprisoned for [-] years...

Except for the fact that Xu Chong's existence was hidden, Lou Youzhi explained everything about how he deduced the supernatural power.

Du Qianchuan listened quietly, his expression changed from panic, to disappointment, to anger.

In a trance, he thought of his wife who was killed by himself.

"Ah! Are you hurt?"

"Lie, you vomited blood... It's all the fault of the horse, well, I'll pay you for it."

"Hey, let's meet again."

"You still keep this horse?"

"Why are you ignoring me?"

"I'm the granddaughter of Duke Rong, come and curry favor with me, I'll ask Grandpa to find you a good job."

"You're done, I know you're working here now, and I'll let grandpa arrest you later!"

"What should I do, Old Du, I seem to like you..."

"Are you still a man? I'm not afraid of you. What are you afraid of?"

"Listen to me, it's settled between us."

"Grandpa, I will find a way. Don't worry, I, Chen Yue, will not marry you in this life!"

"..."

No one knew that during the years when Du Qianchuan and Chen Yue had known each other, for the first half of the time, it was Chen Yue who was pestering Du Qianchuan.

From the acquaintance to the acquaintance to the love, Chen Yue carried it all by herself.

Therefore, after Du Qianchuan confessed his intentions, he vowed to take care of the future of the two of them.

From sweeping out the house again and again, to shutting doors again and again, to testing again and again, he moved Rong Guogong and the entire Rong Guo Duke's mansion, and finally got married with Chen Yue.

However, less than a year after they got married, Chen Yue suddenly became stupid... stupid because he was downgraded to a craftsman status!
"Who are you? Where is this place?"

"Ma'am? Hey, you are not ashamed, she is only seven years old!"

"Old man, send me back to Duke Rong's mansion, or you will die if your father finds out!"

"..."

This was Chen Yue's state before the officers and soldiers rushed to Qin Tianjian.

If Chen Yue survived, he would be sent to Goulan, where he would endure unimaginable nightmares with his young mind.

They will even be indoctrinated with the idea of ​​matching their identity and become a completely different person.

So Du Qianchuan killed her with his own hands.

"And all this..."

A low growl that didn't sound like a human voice came out of Du Qianchuan's throat, "It's just a warning? It's just a warning?"

"Yeah, it's just a warning...Warning me, I will honestly be his dog in the future and help him manage Daqing well. Warning me, next time a natural disaster strikes, don't worry about it."

Lou Youzhi laughed at himself, "Now, I also warn you, go back, pretend you don't know anything, and spend your old age in the care and mill."

"Ho ho ho ho..."

Du Qianchuan stared at Lou Youzhi with scarlet eyes, "Don't provoke me, you have led me to do so much research and told me the truth bit by bit, isn't it just that I am sure that I will not let it go? Tell me, what plan do you have?" .”

"Not to mention a plan."

Lou Youzhi shook his head, "I only have a vague guess as to why His Majesty wants the victims to die. I need to confirm this guess before I can really make a plan."

"What's the end of this plan?"

Du Qianchuan asked.

"unpredictable."

Lou Youzhi raised the corner of his mouth, "If I say it, I should die."

Du Qianchuan was silent for a moment, "What do you need me to do?"

"I need your life..."

Lou Youzhi opened his mouth slowly.

Du Qianchuan's pupils shrank to the tip of a needle bit by bit.

Lou Youzhi didn't rush, just quietly waiting for Du Qianchuan to make a joke.

After a long time, Du Qianchuan laughed, with a happy expression on his face: "During the ages, I, Du Qianchuan, have the honor of being able to stain the Tianji Temple with blood."

"After you die, I will bury you and Chen Yue together."

Lou Youzhi looked at Du Qianchuan and said seriously.

"!!!"

Du Qianchuan raised his head abruptly, "Chen Yue's bones..."

"Outside the city, near the north of the ranch."

Lou Youzhi nodded, "The monument hasn't been erected yet."

"Enough, enough."

Du Qianchuan turned his back suddenly, his voice trembling, "She and I have no relatives alive, so what kind of tombstone do we need?"

"Hehe, don't worry."

"The last wish is over, so what's the point of me being your chess piece?"

……

……

After most of the systems were perfected in Daqing, the court meeting was divided into two types.

One is the Grand Court Meeting, which is held once a month. All officials in Beijing must participate if they are at the seventh rank or above.

The other is the small court meeting, which is held every seven days in the Tianji Hall, usually with the participation of the chief officials of the cabinet, six ministries, five temples, two prisons, and one courtyard.

In the Yongtai Dynasty, because the emperor ignored the government affairs, there was another court meeting in addition to the big and small court meetings, which was convened by the cabinet in the East Side Hall of Tianji Hall to draft, approve, and print. .

Regardless of whether it is a big court meeting or a small court meeting, there are only two properties left: reporting and impeachment.

This grand court meeting is no exception.

Inside and outside the Tianji Hall, all levels of Beijing officials were standing, waiting boringly and tediously for the end of the court meeting.

It took two full hours before the report on the big and small matters handled this month was completed.

Lou Youzhi's voice came from Lang Lang in Tianji Hall: "If you have something to do, you can leave the court if you have nothing to do."

This sentence was originally yelled by the eunuch, but after Emperor Yongtai ignored the government, Lou Youzhi did it for him.

Basically, when this sentence came out, it represented the end of the court meeting.

The civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief, and their mood brightened.

But at this moment, an extremely untimely voice sounded from the end of the official line, spread across the square, and entered the Tianji Hall.

"minister!"

"The original Qin Tianjian was the supervisor, and the Ministry of Officials Wenxuan was the head of the Qing Dynasty. Now the Ministry of Households is in charge of the grinding. Du Qianchuan - there is a book to play!"

Du Qianchuan came out and met countless impatient eyes, fearlessly.

"Submit it to the palace."

Lou Youzhi's words came out.

Du Qianchuan started to walk.

With determination, with arrogance, with sorrow.

While walking, chant aloud.

"Chen Du Qianchuan, I would like to play:

In the eighth year of Yongtai, the sea in Binzhou boiled.

In the ninth year of Yongtai, Taiping Dao caused chaos in Yongzhou.

In the tenth year of Yongtai, the Zuo Buzheng of Yongzhou was assassinated by rebels, and the post of Zuo Buzheng was vacant for more than seven months.

In the 11th year of Yongtai, Fengyang Mansion, Yongzhou..."

Du Qianchuan's footsteps were very slow, he stepped out in one step, and had already said a few words when he landed.

All the officials watched and listened inexplicably, trying to figure out Du Qianchuan's intentions.

"Until the 19th year of Yongtai, the number and length of official vacancies I had in Yongzhou in Daqing were the most among the thirty provinces!"

"And then in April, locusts will fill the sky!"

Baiguan gradually frowned.

They could hear the implication of Du Qianchuan's words...meaning that the natural disaster is related to the shortage of officials?
Is this possible?

"In the 42nd year of Wenchang, there was a drought in Bingzhou."

"In the 43rd year of Wenchang, the prefect of Wulong Prefecture in Binzhou defected to Taiping Road, resulting in the post of prefect being vacant for nearly a year."

"In the 47th year of Wenchang, the commander of the Binzhou capital died of the backlash of his heart demon..."

"The 49th year of Wenchang..."

"The 51th year of Wenchang..."

"..."

"Eight years of Yongtai, Binzhou sea boils!"

Baiguan's eyes began to be surprised.

But Du Qianchuan continued.

"In the 17th year of Wenchang, Yunzhou was flooded."

"Wenchang 18 years...Wenchang 42 years, Bingzhou drought!"

"Jingsheng 36 years, Gunzhou earthquake."

"Jingsheng 37 years...Wenchang 17 years, floods in Yunzhou!"

"..."

Natural disasters have occurred again and again, and the shortage of officials has been the largest.

Every time Du Qianchuan cited a case, the eyes of the officials became brighter.

Even corrupt and evil officials are thinking about a problem at this time.

If the place where natural disasters will strike can be predicted, can it be prevented in advance in the future to minimize losses?
Thinking of this, Baiguan looked at Du Qianchuan with envy and jealousy.

Really good luck.

If this discovery can be confirmed, there will be a long history, high officials and rich salary, all of which will be indispensable. It can be called fame and fortune!

It's a pity that Du Qianchuan suddenly changed the subject and repeated the examples listed before.

It's just that this time, there is no information about the shortage of officials, but the number of grains stored in various places and the number of population changes are increased.

"In the 19th year of Zhengfeng, I had 880 million shi of grain reserves in Daqing, and the population of Leizhou was 900 million."

"20 years of Zhengfeng, Leizhou is on fire."

"At the end of 20, the population of Leizhou was 200 million, and I stored grain in Daqing... there are 600 million shi left!"

As soon as the words fell, all the officials changed their faces!
Before the natural disaster, there were 880 million shi of grain storage, after the natural disaster, there were 600 million shi left, and the population of Leizhou dropped by 700 million...

The eight characters of "If you have food, don't use it, and if you have a disaster, don't help it" appeared in everyone's minds, like Hong Zhong Dalu, which shocked them into a trance.

They instinctively wanted to doubt, but with Du Qianchuan's continuing voice, even if they didn't want to, they had to start to believe.

"...In the 41st year of Wenchang, the population of Bingzhou was more than 600 million, and the grain storage in the 400 provinces totaled [-] million shi."

"In the 42nd year of Wenchang, there was a drought in Bingzhou."

"Until the end of 42, the population of Bingzhou was less than 800 million, and the grain storage in 240 provinces... still had [-] million shi!"

Du Qianchuan climbed up the steps, his voice echoing inside and outside the Tianji Hall.

"In the eighth year of Yongtai, Binzhou's seas boiled. In just half a month, the population dropped by [-]%."

"As for the remaining [-]%, thanks to the court's timely relief, almost all of them survived!"

"All of the above comes from the records of the natural disasters of the Qin Tianjian, the appointment and dismissal of the official department, and the income and expenditure of the household department, all of which are well-documented!"

"It can be seen from this that I, Daqing, am not incapable of disaster relief, but that you, the late emperors, have no intention of disaster relief!"

Du Qianchuan stood at the gate of Tianji Hall, with his head held high, and he stepped in.

"The humble official Du Qianchuan impeached Wenchang, Jingsheng...Zhengfeng and other late emperors for the crime of murdering all people!"

Quiet.

Inside and outside the Tianji Hall, there was a deadly silence.

Everyone's brains were dull, and their ears were full of buzzing.

Impeach the first emperor? ? ?

It's not like this if you want to die, right? !

So what if the first emperor murdered all the people?

People are dead, why impeach them?
This Du Qianchuan, has a wife died, has everyone become stupid?
Baiguan was doubting life, Du Qianchuan's next words almost made them unable to stand still.

"I implore Your Majesty..."

"Get rid of his posthumous posthumous posthumous title, and get out of the Taimiao, so as to save the dead souls of thousands of injustices!!!"
