Chapter 1111 Wude Memorial
"The disaster in the river did have early signs. The government did not respond in time. When the famine happened, they refrained from reporting it. They intended to control the victims and limit the impact of the disaster to the territory. Later, due to the surge of hungry people, it was impossible to cover it up, so they reported it to the court for help! "

In Qionglin Garden, Emperor Liu, who had been here for almost a month, was listening to the report from Li Chongju, the envoy of martial arts.

With a "snap", Liu Chengyou directly threw the book he was pretending to be reading on the table: "What is the local censor doing, and what is the Hedong chief envoy doing? For such a major event, one doesn't investigate it, and the other doesn't see it." Report, what do they want to do! What is Wu Desi's detective in Hedong doing, and he didn't notice it?

This An Shouzhen is so courageous, he thinks that under the law of heaven, he can be allowed to deceive the court? "

Originally, I thought that Hezhong had lied about the disaster situation, but I never thought that it was a lie in the end.It is also deceiving the court, the nature is the same, but the consequences are more serious, because under the famine, the government reacted so much, the people naturally suffered a lot, and eventually the natural disaster turned into a man-made disaster.

Liu Chengyou's questioning targeted a wide range of subjects, scolding almost all relevant departments with supervisory responsibilities.It is also understandable that there are always people who like to jump out and challenge his bottom line. It is not that he does not allow local affairs. The reason for his anger is that the officials below are slack and even deceive him like this.

Facing the furious emperor, Li Chongju naturally confessed his crime, but his expression was very calm, because he also knew that the emperor would not really punish him for this matter.Wu Desi's intelligence network is tight and huge, but the world is so big, it is impossible to cover everything. There are many places that they can't monitor completely or can't take care of.

"How many people died?" Liu Chengyou asked after calming down.

"I don't know the exact number yet, but it is reported that most of the local hungry people tried to save themselves, and some local sages helped their hometowns. Therefore, although the opening of the warehouse was late, not many people died of starvation!" Li Chongju replied.

"If I don't eat for a day, I will be so hungry that I have delayed relief for nearly a month. Can you imagine how the hungry people in the river survived?" Liu Chengyou said coldly.

Looking at Li Chongju, Liu Chengyou directly ordered him to transfer the case of the famine in Hezhong investigated by Wu Desi to the Zhengshitang, and summoned an officer to deliver the order. During the process, the relevant personnel who have neglected their duties and neglected their duties will conduct an inventory.

It is conceivable that this will be another political earthquake, not only bad in nature, but also involving the An family. The An family is the top rich and noble family of the big man.Perhaps considering this relationship, it is understandable why the affairs of the Hezhong Mansion have shown such a state of development. Many people seem to have lost their vision and hearing.

Emperor Liu couldn't understand An Shouzhen's actions. How would it benefit him to deceive the court and conceal the disaster.If he is afraid of affecting his career and promotion because of the serious consequences of the disaster, he is not the kind of poor family with no roots and no family.

Furthermore, previous cases have shown that in the face of disasters, if the response is timely and appropriate, so that the people can be safe, this is a bonus item. After all, critical moments are the most test of human ability.

Of course, it is impossible for Emperor Liu to figure out An Shouzhen's psychology, he only looks at the result now.More rationally, Emperor Liu did not listen to Wu Desi's one-sided words, but handed it over to Yousi to continue investigating and hearing the matter. However, the imperial court was already conducting an investigation, and now the Wu Desi handed over the details directly, which is also a challenge to the supervisory department. a kind of warning.

On the other hand, Hezhong Mansion is a big mansion. It has always been rich and has a lot of local products. Every year, Emperor Liu will taste the local Fengqi pear. It also has the advantage of the salt pond, so it can be called a treasure.

It's just that in recent years, disasters have occurred frequently. Earthquakes, floods, locusts, rain, these common disasters have almost all occurred.Reasonably speaking, after so many years and so many rounds of tests, there is no way that a famine as big as this one will be caused. It can be seen that the disaster is not the sky but the people.With this kind of consideration, it is also conceivable that there will be absolutely no mercy for the disposal of those officials.

"You said just now that the people in the river save themselves. How do they save themselves? Are they hunting in the mountains, or fishing in the water? Digging wild vegetables, eating tree bark?" After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou has completely recovered his usual calmness. Looking at Li Chongju, he said: " Local virtuous people don’t give relief to their hometowns, right? Even if there are such good gentry, how can they spend all their wealth? Can they save all the hungry people?”

Facing Emperor Liu's series of questions, Li Chongju didn't know how to answer them.However, soon Liu Chengyou revealed his real concern: "I heard that every time there is a famine, the landlords are strong and powerful, who take the opportunity to annex the land, and the common people have to sell the land at a low price to live in rich households. How is the situation in the river? "

"The minister will arrange for someone to investigate!" Li Chongju reported, and he never spoke rashly about things he didn't understand.

"What else is there?" Emperor Liu quickly adjusted his mentality and asked again.

Seeing this, Li Chongju bowed his body slightly, and continued: "The servant of the Prince of Xiangyang's mansion, who had an affair with his concubine, was prosecuted for adultery, and was lynched to death for him!"

Hearing that it was related to An's again, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Chongju, he probably came here to give An's eye drops today.

But regarding this, Emperor Liu only smiled faintly: "The first king of Xiangyang is a hero, able to control the generals and soldiers to keep them safe and guard the four directions, but he is also weak in managing the family. It can be seen that no one is perfect!"

It is conceivable that An Shenqi is nearly seventy years old, and it is not difficult to understand that An Shenqi cannot satisfy concubine Ji, is dissatisfied with her desires, and even has an affair.The key point is that An Shenqi is not good at managing the family, and the management is not strict.

The matter of An Shenqi ended here, and it was impossible to expose the ugliness of the dignitary king. As for the issue of lynching and punishment, it should be ignored, and it must be ignored.Human life cases are major cases, but in many cases, in the eyes of many people, the lives of some insignificant people are really nothing, as cheap as worthless.Of course, that pair of dogs and men also deserve death.

"Li Jixun, Dang Jin, Han Lingkun and other generals of the imperial army often associate with Mr. Rong Guo. We have had two gatherings this month to drink hard, and you will get drunk if you drink!" Li Chongju said again, his voice was almost without any emotion.

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou's complexion was slightly gloomy, and he quickly smiled lightly and said: "I know! Since Rong Guogong likes to drink, the government and the public know it, these people are either old friends or drinking friends, it's not a big deal. Take some time, I should also come to ask for a few glasses of wine."

"The British government passed through Luoyang, entered the house, and left in less than an hour. It is said that he and his father had a conflict of words because of family traditions. The British public did not like his father's ostentation and extravagance in Luoyang."

Hearing this news, Liu Chengyou smiled and said, "Old Mrs. Chai must be 70 years old! The British are too harsh on the elderly."

That's what I said, but I'm still very satisfied with Chai Rong's performance.Liu Chengyou asked directly: "Do you know where Chai Rong is?"

"According to the footsteps, we have already entered the territory of Kaifeng!"

"Yantuo!" Emperor Liu yelled directly to the outside, and the chief servant hurried over to wait for the order.

"Take my chariot, go to Xiangfu Station, and wait there. When the Duke of England arrives, take him directly to Qionglin Garden!" Emperor Liu ordered.

"Yes!" Yan Tuo didn't dare to neglect, and immediately responded.

From Emperor Liu's attitude, it can be seen that the previous turmoil and those inexplicable criticisms were just a natural "shock". In the eyes of the Emperor Han, the British Gong Chai Rong was still an important minister of the Zhu Kingdom and enjoyed noble treatment.

"You've worked hard too. There are chilled melons in the hall. After enjoying them, go to work!" Facing Li Chongju, Emperor Liu showed a friendly expression again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Li Chongju, who was born as a bodyguard, joined the army and became a political envoy, has been in charge of a huge intelligence and monitoring agency for almost 12 years.

Not to mention anything else, it can be seen that it is unusual to be able to keep Emperor Liu from changing him.
