Chapter 98 The First Lady Is Not Vicious 39
Wushuang bent down to pick up the memorial and opened it. It was a memorial from Yunzhou.

The one who wrote the memorial was Dong Hanlin, the magistrate of Yunzhou Prefecture, and the other party wrote a shocking thing in the memorial.

Yunzhou officials forced the people to rebel!

In the beginning, there was a drought, and the prefect of Yunzhou reported to the imperial court, but all the relief money he got was privately embezzled.

Neither opened warehouses for disaster relief, nor reduced or exempted taxes.

The most exaggerated thing is that the magistrate of Yunzhou was afraid that the court would know that he had embezzled the disaster relief funds, so he even didn't allow the people to go out to escape.

Without relief food to sustain their lives, and unable to escape to survive, the people were forced to rebel and had no way out.

It's a pity that if it is in troubled times, there are enough people who can't survive, and the government is corrupt enough.

No matter what the outcome of the uprising is, with the response of countless people, most of it will be successful at the beginning.

But now is the prosperous age, and the strength of the imperial army is strong enough.

How can these weak-handed and soft-footed people who have no weapons and are hungry be the strength of the imperial army.

They were dispersed before they became a climate, and the people could not escape, so they could only flee into the mountains to avoid arrest.

In this way, all the people under the rule were tossed away, but the magistrate of Yunzhou was about to leave his post.

And the unlucky next magistrate is the same magistrate Dong Hanlin who gave the empress dowager a memorial.

It's no wonder that Dong Hanlin is going to sue, such an empty Yunzhou, what achievements will he make in his hands.

What should people do if they lose their taxes and corvees? This is a hot potato that cannot be accepted at all.

Wushuang put away the memorial, looked at the Empress Dowager and said, "Does the Empress Dowager want you to investigate the case in Yunzhou?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Wushuang, and said with anger on her face: "The Ai family hopes that you can help the Ai family to appease the people of Yunzhou while investigating the case."

Wushuang thought for a while, and said: "The magistrate of Yunzhou was able to force the people of Yunzhou to this point, it must not be the prefect of Yunzhou alone.

Even Dong Hanlin, the same acquaintance of Shangzuo, is probably not clean.

It was only in the end that he himself was tricked by the magistrate, so he had to explain the situation to the empress dowager.

This matter may even involve officials in Beijing. If the minister is to investigate, the minister must deal with it impartially. It is inevitable that the corrupt officials will be killed and cause a lot of trouble.

If the queen mother can accept it, then I am willing to clear the case for the queen mother and appease the people.

But if the Empress Dowager wants to be safe, and only pursues the people on the bright side, and does not punish the chief culprit, then the Empress Dowager should send someone else. "

Wushuang is not afraid of being a villain, nor is she afraid of being a lonely minister, but she is afraid of being the queen mother and muddleheaded by herself.

For some reason that the court is stable, he is unwilling to kill the chief culprit, and finally picks it up high and puts it down gently, so it doesn't matter whoever goes.

The Empress Dowager said helplessly: "You really have such a temper, you are jealous of evil.

All right, this investigation, you can do whatever you want, Aijia only asks you to clean up the officialdom in Yunzhou and appease the common people. "

With the Queen Mother's promise, Wushuang simply took the order this time: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I will definitely handle the errands in Yunzhou well."

The queen mother nodded and said: "Aijia will ask the household department to prepare money and food for disaster relief, and leave with your imperial envoy team.

Anything else you want to prepare or take to Yunzhou, you can arrange it yourself.

Let Qinglu go with you this time, he has guarded your safety many times, with him following, the Ai family will feel at ease. "

Because the accident in Yunzhou was not short, Wushuang left the palace and went straight to the household department to check the relief food to be taken away.

Make sure that all the relief food taken away is good and not mixed with sand or gravel.

Afterwards, they rushed to the Feiying Guards and ordered the Feiying Guards who were going to be taken away this time.

After leaving Feiyingwei, Wushuang thought about it, and then went to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, leaving a large number of low-ranking officials and small officials.

When the time comes when she kills the corrupt officials in front of her, there will always be someone to take over the position of the corrupt officials.

These small officials are low-level officials who do practical things. Beijing officials of the sixth and seventh ranks have a hard time in the capital.

It is said that it is easy for Beijing officials to be sent out. That means that it is not easy for ordinary officials in the Hanlin who do not enter the Imperial Academy or the cabinet.

Now following Wushuang to go out on errands, if the errands are done, maybe they can occupy the vacant official positions, which is much easier than their seeking to be released.

So the petty officials who were selected by Wushuang were very excited. If this could be favored by the ruling adults, they might occupy the official positions they replaced.

Wushuang was as busy as a spinning top, and only had time to go home and tell Yuan Qiniang that she was leaving Beijing on business.

He asked Bai Zhexi to stay with Yuan Qiniang in Uncle Zhongyong's mansion during this period, and left Beijing in a hurry under Yuan Qiniang's reluctance.

The capital is thousands of miles away from Yunzhou, which is not an important distance in modern times, but in this era, it is already far away from the veritable sky-high emperor.

Wushuang brought a huge convoy, escorted and delivered the food, and traveled almost night and day, rushing to Yunzhou at the fastest speed.

If you don't rush, there are still countless starving people in Yunzhou. If it's one day late, I don't know how many people will starve to death.

After rushing so desperately, he finally entered the territory of Yunzhou with the fastest speed.

As soon as he entered the territory of Yunzhou, Wushuang discovered something wrong with Yunzhou.

Not only Wushuang, but everyone can find out that something is wrong here.

The disaster this time was not limited to Yunzhou, the two state capitals next to Yunzhou were also affected to a certain extent.

Along the way, Wushuang could see the government handing out rice grains, and the common people were either receiving rice grains, begging along the streets, or busy cleaning their homes.

But after entering the territory of Yunzhou, there was no one in sight.

When passing by a small village, Qinglu and Wushuang went into the village to check it out.

The house was in a mess, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the furniture in the house.

Qing Lu frowned and said: "Looking at the thickness of the dust, the people in this village must have been away for a long time, and no one can be seen everywhere, they should be hiding."

Wushuang and Qinglu looked at the rolling green hills around them.

Obviously, the people who were persecuted to a dead end could not escape or fight the rebellion, so the only way left was to hide in the mountains.

Qing Lu said with a heavy heart: "The trees in this mountain are dry, and it is obvious that there is also a drought. In this case, there is no way to find much food.

What's more, so many ordinary people hid in the mountains, even if there were no disasters in the mountains, no amount of food could keep so many people from eating.

After such a long time, how many people are still alive? "

Wushuang took a deep breath and said, "Don't think too much about it now, the county magistrate here must be derelict in such a barren state.

First go arrest the county magistrate, check the county government, let people cook porridge at the foot of the mountain, and then send people into the mountain to beat the gong to call people down to drink porridge and receive relief food. "

Qing Lu said with some concern: "These people were forced to rebel by the government, and they must hate the government deeply.

Even if we say we are not with those scumbags, but we are officials, can the common people believe that we came down the mountain? "
