Chapter 183: King Ning's Disaster Relief?Harvesting public opinion?The people are oppressed?Literati survey?
"My lord, my lord."
"Big happy event, great happy event."
at this time.
It's not yet dawn.
Hou Jun came to King Ning's study in a hurry, looking extremely excited.
"What happened?"
King Ning was a little curious, looking at Hou Jun, wondering what good things happened.
"Go back to your lord."
"The spies came to report that as soon as Gu Jinnian arrived in Jiangzhong County, he beheaded the prince of the nineteenth mansion."
Hou Jun said, this is the first thing.
"As expected, that's his character."
King Ning didn't seem particularly surprised, on the contrary, he felt that it was reasonable and in line with Gu Jinnian's way of life.
"Angrily beheading the princes of the nineteenth mansion, where is Wang Wei?"
King Ning asked directly.
Hearing what happened to Wang Wei, Hou Jun lowered his head and said, "Wang Wei hanged himself before Gu Jinnian arrived. We have sent someone to investigate. He is indeed dead. There is no disguise or fake death."
Hou Jun replied.
He deliberately asked people to investigate, and Wang Wei was dead, and it was indeed Wang Wei.
"Wang Wei is dead?"
King Ning was a little surprised.
"Gu Jinnian claims to be the sage of future generations, but his methods are still so dirty. It's ridiculous."
Hou Jun laughed.
Wang Wei's death made Hou Jun think that Gu Jinnian was worthless.
"It wasn't Gu Jinnian's method. He brought Gu Ningya, the commander of the Xuandeng Division, if he wasn't cruel, would he really be able to reach that position?"
King Ning did not despise Gu Jinnian too much.
"What the lord said is very true."
"This Gu Ningya is indeed extraordinary."
Hou Jun nodded.
"What I'm curious about now is how did Gu Jinnian see through this trick?"
"If he knew about it a long time ago, he could just stop, take a day's rest, and find out in the middle of the walk?"
King Ning was very curious about how Gu Jinnian saw through this trick.
"Going back to my lord, I heard that someone stopped Gu Jinnian's jade chariot. Maybe this person was explaining the confusion, but I don't know exactly how."
Hou Jun made a sound and said so.
"Oh?"
"Then it seems that Jiangzhong County still has talents. Sure enough, the big hermit lives in the city, and the little hermit hides in the wild."
"Investigate this person thoroughly, and see if he can be recruited after the matter is successful."
Ning Wang said.
"Yes."
Hou Jun nodded.
"You just said that there is good news, what good news is it?"
King Ning continued to speak out, asking Hou Jun.
Upon hearing this, Hou Jun immediately spoke out, with an unconcealable joy on his face.
"My lord, the spies came to report that Gu Jinnian arrived in Jiangzhong County, and directly beheaded the nineteen princes in anger. Afterwards, he started cooking and entertained all the people in the county."
"It's just that Gu Jinnian let the people eat some rice. It's called military rations, which are specially provided by the royal family. Each commoner can only get two or two rice, and it's just five taels of rice in a bowl."
"As for those officers and men, all of them eat sweets and drink spicy food, eat big fish and meat, and their mouths are full of oil. Under the power, they oppress the people, which has caused the people of the entire Jiangzhong County to be angry."
"Even Gu Jinnian asked these people to harvest the wheat and harvest the fields without giving them enough food, and forced them to do this kind of thing. The spies came to report, saying that these people were aggressive and had already generated public grievances."
Hou Jun was extremely excited.
It's just that after saying this, King Ning frowned suddenly, feeling unbelievable.
"how is this possible?"
"Gu Jinnian loves the people like a son. Everyone in the world knows that. How could he oppress the people like this?"
"Furthermore, even a corrupt official will at least put on an air. This is definitely not what Gu Jinnian did."
King Ning frowned directly, he didn't believe it at all, this was what Gu Jinnian did.
It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense either.
But the latter arched his hands.
"My lord, my subordinates don't believe it either, but after reports from various spies, the facts are indeed true, there is no falsehood."
Hou Jun didn't understand either, but it was indeed the truth.
At this moment, King Ning was completely silent.
Although Gu Jinnian's method had already been figured out by them, it was completely out of Chaohu's imagination to do it again suddenly.
"Is there any information that hasn't been said?"
"Did the spies in the city say anything?"
King Ning frowned and asked Hou Jun.
"Going back to the prince, the spies in the city can't come out at all, they are all ordinary people, and Gu Jinnian blocked the entrance and exit, and there is no news."
"My lord, at least [-]% of the grain stored in Jiangzhong County has been burned."
Hou Jun opened his mouth and explained clearly about the spies in the city, and then revealed the news that the granary was destroyed.
After Hou Jun thought about it, he suddenly realized.
"My lord, the subordinates probably know what kind of tricks Gu Jinnian is playing."
Hou Jun made a sound, he thought of a possibility.
"You said."
King Ning asked the opponent to analyze.
"Hou Jun, think about this possibility. According to the character of taking care of Jinnian, he would definitely not treat the people like this, but just after he thought he had solved the matter of Wang Wei, he didn't expect us to have a backhand .”
"The granary was directly burned down. After learning about this situation, Gu Jinnian felt deeply pressured. After all, although the imperial court is transporting grain, how can the grain transported by the imperial court be eaten by the whole county?"
"If you really want to eat, how much can you eat?"
"Therefore, Gu Jinnian came up with such a bad idea, calling it a feast for the common people, but in fact, each person is only two or two meters long."
"In this way, at least the people will not starve to death, and at the same time, we will slowly find a way."
"In this way, although the people will complain, but there are not many complaints, at least they can survive, and then live on two or two meters a day. The imperial court's food transportation, plus the remaining [-]% of the granary, can last for half a month. of."
"My lord, what do you think of my subordinate's guess?"
Hou Jun expressed his thoughts, and I have to say that his thoughts are quite reasonable.
At least after King Ning heard this, he also felt that this was the case.
"possible."
King Ning nodded.
"But what this king thinks more is that Gu Jinnian will entertain the people to eat two or two rice in these two days, but after a few days, the people will be full. They will be hungry for three days and full for seven days. As long as the people don't die, it will be good for him It’s a good thing to say.”
King Ning recognized Hou Jun's words, but he also had his own opinions.
"What the prince said is very true, and this may be very big."
Hou Jun immediately nodded and agreed.
"Why is this matter a happy event for the king?"
But soon, King Ning looked at Hou Jun curiously again, why is this a happy event?
Hearing this, Hou Jun immediately spoke.
"My lord, why isn't this a great joy?"
"We have stored grain for many years, and now we only need to send [-] troops to transport grain to Jiangzhong County."
"As soon as Jiangzhong County comes, the people of Jiangzhong County will definitely be grateful and gain public opinion."
"Secondly, it can be regarded as suppressing Gu Jinnian's reputation, which will be of great benefit to future plans."
"Thirdly, the prince's deployment of the army can also support the three great families in Jiangzhong County."
"Three things with one stone."
When Hou Jun opened his mouth, he mentioned three benefits.
Indeed, after hearing this, King Ning was a little moved. He cared about the first and third items, but the others were just average.
It is indeed very good to win the hearts of the people and give confidence to the three great families.
However, King Ning was still a little worried. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
It is impossible for Gu Jinnian to do such a thing. He would believe in other people, but he would not believe in Gu Jinnian.
"Is there such a possibility?"
"What Gu Jinnian feeds the common people is the big golden dragon rice?"
King Ning expressed his conjecture that it was not uncommon for Gu Jinnian to feed the common people and let the soldiers feast on fish and meat.
After all, the lives of soldiers are more important, but it shouldn't be so unobtrusive, right?
Do you want to play a show?
What's more, this person is Gu Jinnian, so it's hard for him to understand.
It's just that after King Ning said this, Hou Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"My lord, we also have big golden dragon rice in our house, don't you know about this kind of thing?"
"Let's not talk about how precious the big golden dragon rice is. This kind of big golden dragon rice is hard for normal warriors to digest. If people eat this kind of dragon rice, they are afraid that their blood will burst and die. How can it be big golden dragon rice?"
Hou Jun said, this big golden dragon rice is divided into three grades, one is provided to the royal family, one is provided to the dignitaries, and the other is provided to the rich of the Dajin Dynasty.
But no matter what level it is, warriors must be able to eat it. Even ordinary warriors can only drink rice soup, which is counted as nourishing the body.
When Hou Jun said this, King Ning also nodded. There is indeed a big golden dragon rice in King Ning's mansion.
"But I still feel that something is wrong, let's check again?"
King Ning made a sound, feeling something was wrong.
"My lord."
"The subordinates will naturally follow the prince's arrangement, but if the food from the court arrives, at least in the first half a month, Gu Jinnian will not be short of food. Does the prince plan to wait half a month before collecting public opinion?"
"Half a month, it's not long, but in case, the subordinates mean in case, in case Gu Jinnian really comes up with something that really solves Jiangzhong County's difficulties, what should we do?"
Hou Jun had no other intentions. He could wait for half a month, but the problem was, he didn't know what Gu Jinnian's method was during this half month.
Indeed, King Ning also felt reasonable when he said this.
He thought over and over again, and finally took a deep breath.
"Well."
"Immediately send an army of one hundred thousand, prepare food, chicken, duck, fish, meat, beef, sheep and pigs, all are ready for this king, and sent to Jiangzhong County, so that these people can feast on it."
"This king only needs two meals, and he can be praised by the people of Jiangzhong County. It's really not a loss."
After thinking about it, King Ning directly agreed. It only takes two meals to get public opinion. This deal is a good deal no matter what.
As soon as this remark came out, Hou Jun nodded immediately.
"My lord is wise."
After saying this, Hou Jun immediately went to prepare.
"kindness."
King Ning also nodded, deeply satisfied.
But as soon as he walked out the door, Hou Jun suddenly turned back and looked at
"My lord, I heard that the Great Xia Dynasty is buying spirit crystals aggressively. Do we want to drive up the price?"
Hou Jun spoke up and asked King Ning about this matter.
"Buy spirit crystals?"
"It seems that the imperial court has no other means. It wants to build dragon boats and treasure ships to solve this crisis."
"However, until now, we can only do this. After all, spirit crystals are dead things. It's a pity that if this king ascends the throne in the future, he will lose a large amount of spirit crystals in vain."
"It's really hateful that all the spiritual crystals accumulated by the Great Xia Dynasty for a hundred years will be lost in Yongsheng's hands."
"Okay, drive up the price, but definitely don't buy it. If you buy spirit crystals at this juncture, you will have to pay a huge price."
King Ning said, at this time, there are not many opportunities to stumbling the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is only one to catch one.
"As ordered."
Hou Jun didn't talk too much, after finishing speaking, he left here.
After Hou Jun left, King Ning couldn't help smiling.
"Yongsheng, Yongsheng, you asked Gu Jinnian to help the disaster, but you never imagined that I can win the public opinion of the people in Jiangzhong County with just two meals."
King Ning was talking to himself with a smile on his face.
For him, the people in Jiangzhong County must be miserable, and Gu Jinnian gave five taels of food to each other. To be honest, it could save lives, but it was only for saving lives.
When there were outsiders at the beginning, King Ning did not behave well, and waited for Hou Jun to leave.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Jinnian had reached his limit.
The imperial court transported grain relatively slowly.
The granary in Jiangzhong County was also burned down.
The previous policy of concentrating food would make the situation in Jiangzhong County more and more severe. Now that a [-] army is sent to treat the people to two meals, then everyone will only think about the good of King Ning.
Instead of praising Gu Jinnian for his goodness.
It is good for him to rebel in the future, even if Gu Jinnian stabilizes Jiangzhong County, he will not lose his reputation as King Ning.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Kill two birds with one stone.
King Ning was very happy. In his mind, a large amount of grain was transported to Jiangzhong County, and the people ate big fish and meat, praising him as the king of virtue.
Very beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
And at the same time.
In Daxia Kyoto.
In the court hall.
A voice resounded in the hall.
"His Majesty."
"I received a report from spies that Gu Jinnian went to Jiangzhong County to kill the prince of the nineteen mansions. The method was straightforward."
"Moreover, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, a banquet is held, and all the people in Jiangzhong County are invited to eat."
"Your Majesty, this is a kind act."
A voice sounded, it was Yang Kai's voice, praising Gu Jinnian.
Hearing this, all the officials also nodded, approving Gu Jinnian's actions, beheading corrupt officials, opening warehouses to release food, this is a good thing.
But before Emperor Yongsheng praised Gu Jinnian, a discordant voice sounded.
"His Majesty."
"I have something to announce."
It was the voice of the right servant of the official department.
Following the voice of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, everyone immediately understood that something must have happened.
Emperor Yongsheng glanced at him, but he didn't stop him, letting the other party speak directly.
"Precise play."
At that moment, the voice of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials sounded.
"Your Majesty, an official came to report that Gu Jinnian had indeed beheaded the lord of the [-]th mansion, but it was not because the lord of the [-]th mansion was corrupt and perverted the law, but because of the fire in Jiangzhong County's granary. Lord Fufu."
He opened his mouth and said so.
This is the news from the people below. No one knows the details. After all, Jiangzhong County is thousands of miles apart. Who knows what happened?
"The granary fire?"
"That's more right to kill."
Upon hearing the fire broke out in the granary, Emperor Yongsheng frowned, full of anger.
At this juncture, a fire broke out in the granary?Are you kidding me here?
It's just that Gu Jinnian has a way to suppress the disaster in Jiangzhong County, so he doesn't worry about anything, and besides, he has expected this kind of thing before.
"Your Majesty's words are very true, and I think so too."
"It's just that there are rumors from officials that Lord Hou held a large banquet in Jiangzhong County, steamed and cooked rice, and rescued the people in disasters, but each commoner only had less than two or two meters in their bowls, and the rice was extremely poor."
"That's why many people stopped eating after two bites."
He opened his mouth and continued to play.
As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked. Relief of disasters and people, two or two meters per person?Who is enough for this?The old man is better, and the normal young people are suffering from a famine, even though they know that the court does not have much food.
But it's not enough to give such a little, right?
At least make people feel full, right?
But most people don't believe it, because Gu Jinnian is not such a person.
However, on the dragon chair, Emperor Yongsheng instantly understood what was going on.
What kind of inferior rice is obviously Daxia Longmi. Emperor Yongsheng has eaten this Daxialong rice. For the common people, two taels are really a little more, maybe one tael is enough.
It's not that the people don't want to eat it, but they can't finish it.
Just be misunderstood.
Immediately, Emperor Yongsheng wanted to explain aloud, but soon, Emperor Yongsheng remained silent again.
He thought of something, so there was no answer.
"This is impossible."
"Master Hou would not do such a thing, it must be spreading rumors."
Yang Kai's voice sounded, and he didn't recognize it immediately.
Because it's impossible.
"My lord Yang, the lower officials also hope that this is a rumor, but it's not just one official who made such a report, but many officials who made the report."
The other party replied with a firm attitude.
Now many officials are a little silent, even Yang Kai doesn't know what to say.
After all, the other party is the right servant of the official department, and if he dared to speak in the court, it proved that he had enough confidence and evidence, otherwise, he would not dare to speak so nonsense.
"The granary was burned, and there was almost no food in stock. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people and provide relief to the people, although one person is only two or two meters long, after cooking, it should be five or two meters. To be honest, although it is not enough to eat, at least it will not be full. hungry."
"Hou Ye's move should be for the sake of the common people. I really admire the talent of Hou Ye."
Yang Kai continued to speak, he changed his mind, thinking that Gu Jinnian had other arrangements.
As soon as these words were said, many officials recognized them, because Gu Jinnian's personality would not harm the people, so they believed Yang Kai's words unconditionally.
As for the right servant of the official department, he immediately spoke.
"The lower officials also thought so at the beginning, but they didn't expect that there were officials who reported that the common people only ate two or two meters, which was fine, and the soldiers in the army killed cattle and pigs, and prepared a table of sumptuous meals. .”
"However, they don't give the common people any oily food, and they feast on them one by one. If you dare to ask Mr. Yang, how can this be explained?"
The other party made a sound and told this matter.
After saying this, everyone didn't know how to answer.
Yang Kai was also slightly silent.
"Is there a possibility that the common people don't want to eat too meaty food?"
This time Yang Kai himself did not have the confidence to say this.
Not to mention the rest of the officials.
"Master Yang, are you joking?"
The right servant of the official department asked Yang Kai.
He knew that Gu Jinnian had a very good relationship with Yang Kai, but he shouldn't help like this, right?
Just bite the bullet and blow?
No, no, it's reasonable, no one will say anything about Gu Jinnian, and everyone will not say anything bad, but if you don't do well, you still want to brag about it?That's a bit too much.
"Why are you joking?"
"Your Majesty, I have really heard that if you don't eat for a few days and suddenly overeat, you will die on the spot. This kind of thing is not a rumor."
"Didn't something similar happen when His Majesty led troops to fight?"
"In my opinion, Lord Hou must be afraid that these people will eat too much greasy food and their bodies will not be able to bear it, so that's why they are so tired, and the soldiers are tired, so what if they eat some fish?"
This time, Wang Qixin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, followed suit, thinking that there was such a possibility.
As soon as this remark came out, it was also recognized by some officials.
"There is such a thing."
The Minister of the Ministry of War nodded. This is true. When soldiers were marching and fighting, they would encounter food shortages. The soldiers were so hungry that they gnawed on the bark. Later, they were rescued and overeat. Indeed, several people died.
So there is a possibility.
"it is good."
"Even so, there are still officials who report that the people ran to cut the wheat after eating two or two meters, or even less than two or two meters. I dare to ask you, since they are afraid that the people will overeat, why do they let the people eat too much? The people go to reap the wheat?"
"Could it be that Master Hou is afraid that these people will eat too much and suffer from indigestion?"
"Everyone, it's impossible to cook a pound of rice with these two or two meters, right? Even if you eat a pound of rice, you won't have to cut the wheat, right?"
He spoke out, questioning the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, especially looking at Yang Kai and Wang Qixin.
Hearing these words, the two were indeed silent. At this moment, there was really nothing to say.
"Could it be fake?"
"Could it be that Lord Hou angrily beheaded the nineteen princes, and these officials made up stories?"
However, Gu Leng, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, said that he thought it was a fake, and someone deliberately wanted to frame Gu Jinnian.
"Yes, yes, it must be fake."
"How could Lord Hou do such a thing? Anyway, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
"This is obviously fake."
Yang Kai and the others agreed one after another, insisting that this was a fake. To be honest, they really didn't believe that Gu Jinnian would do this.
There must be something hidden.
Now that Gu Jinnian was fixing disasters in Jiangzhong County, and they were in charge of keeping the overall situation in the court, they had to speak well for Gu Jinnian, so as not to cause trouble for Gu Jinnian.
Hearing this, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials was really at a loss.
Knowing that these people are partial to Gu Jinnian, there is nothing to say, but this kind of partiality is a bit too much.
No, it's not that partiality is too much, it's too much.
"The lower officer thinks so too."
"So I asked the officer three times."
"Officials from all the prefectures in Jiangzhong County have written in blood to confirm that this matter is true."
The right servant of the Ministry of Officials obviously has a problem, and he is unwilling to let go of this matter. All the officials don't want to say anything, and he is still stubborn here.
When it came to this, everyone was completely silent.
Ironclad evidence.
Although I don't understand what Gu Jinnian is thinking.
Giving the people two or two meters, the officers and soldiers feasted on fish and meat, and even asked the people to harvest wheat, this does not make sense anyway.
"The officials below may not necessarily tell the truth. What if they want to target Lord Hou?"
"Yes, it is not ruled out that the officials will target Lord Hou. After all, how can Jiangzhong County set fire to the granary? Lord Hou wants to investigate thoroughly, will it affect the interests of many officials? This must be considered."
"Your Majesty, I believe that no matter what, at this time, you can't listen to slander, and you still have to rely on Lord Marquis."
"Yes, yes, you must trust Lord Hou."
The attitude of the officials is actually very obvious, and there is no other reason. Gu Jinnian is in the limelight now, the biggest celebrity in front of the emperor, this time Jiangzhong County is in trouble, if Gu Jinnian really solves it.
Then when Gu Jinnian comes back, he needs to be an extremely human minister. Who would dare to provoke such a character?
Even if there was a party dispute, he would not dare to argue with Gu Jinnian.
To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian didn't fix Jiangzhong County's disaster this time, and Emperor Yongsheng was reluctant to kill Gu Jinnian. It was nothing more than a crisis in the Great Xia Dynasty.
But if Gu Jinnian solves the difficulties of Jiangzhong County, everyone will be happy. At this time, when Gu Jinnian knows that someone in the court is targeting him, it will be a bit bad.
At least until things become clear, most officials are on the sidelines.
Absolutely will not mess around.
However, at this moment, Li Shan's voice could not help but sound.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Lord Hou will not act recklessly, and there must be some problems."
"It's just that since the local officials made such a report, and the minister also heard some news outside, it seems that Lord Hou has done some bad things."
"Since the matter has come to this point, I would like to ask for orders to go to Jiangzhong County. If this matter is just an official slander, I can punish these officials. If it is really what the Lord Hou did, I can also ask clearly. So what happened."
"It also prevents all officials in the court from panic, and those scholars are the most afraid. If this matter spreads to the ears of scholars in other dynasties, it will be a little bad."
Li Shan's voice sounded.
The prime minister is worthy of being a prime minister. He obviously wanted to investigate Gu Jinnian, but he said it was as if he was helping Gu Jinnian.
The right servant of the Ministry of Officials must not dare to take the initiative to trouble Gu Jinnian, there must be someone behind this, full of civil and military affairs, in fact, everyone knows that Li Shan is somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Jinnian.
At first, Gu Jinnian got all the limelight, which made him seem useless as prime minister.
Secondly, His Majesty was so gracious to Gu Jinnian and worried that the emperor would make Gu Jinnian the prime minister.
To sum up all kinds of things, Li Shan naturally doesn't have much affection for Gu Jinnian. Of course, most officials don't understand the deeper struggle, and don't want to get involved.
"No."
At this moment, Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Qixin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Gu Leng, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, all spoke together.
"Since Your Majesty has given the general command to Lord Hou, if you send someone to look for Lord Hou at this time, will you be suspicious of Lord Hou? If Lord Hou finds out, will you feel chilled? I don't think so."
"That's right, Your Majesty, if you let Xiang Li go, it will indeed shake people's hearts. After all, everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty has given power to Lord Hou. If Li Xiang goes, what will all the soldiers think? What will the officials think? How will the common people go?" Think? Does it mean that His Majesty no longer trusts Lord Hou?"
"I believe that the fate will not mess around, these are just rumors."
A sound rang out.
They resolutely disagreed, and there was no other reason. Li Shan's passing was just to make things difficult for Gu Jinnian.
Since it was a blocker, why did you let him go there?
Now no matter what the party dispute is, and no matter who is beneficial or not, the main thing is to solve the difficulties in Jiangzhong County.
Li Shan ran over, probably with good intentions.
Facing the rebuttals from the officials, Li Shan didn't frown or look ugly, but spoke quietly.
"I believe in the destiny, but scholars all over the world don't believe it. Even in my Daxia territory, some scholars have great doubts about this matter."
"I naturally think that Tian Minghou is not such a person, but he can't stand the rumors."
Li Shan made a sound, suppressing everyone with scholars.
"These scholars like to talk nonsense. Let them govern the country. Have they managed it? They just know how to make sarcastic remarks."
"As long as the difficulties in Jiangzhong County are resolved, what impact will the words of these scholars have?"
Everyone still helped Gu Jinnian.
However, at this moment, the voice of Emperor Yongsheng on the dragon chair sounded.
"Are many scholars really mentioning this?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked at Li Shan and asked.
"Return to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."
Li Shan nodded.
"it is good."
"Then I give you the responsibility of supervising, but it's not just you. The twelve Confucian scholars of Yushitai also went together, including the territory of Daxia, and selected a hundred Confucian scholars, ranging from ordinary scholars to great Confucian scholars, to Jiangzhong County. Go see for yourself."
"See if Gu Jinnian is messing around. If so, report back to Beijing immediately. I will make my own choice."
"If not, let them shut their mouths, and whoever dares to slander in the future will be slapped a hundred times."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, and he gave Li Shan the responsibility of supervision.
As soon as these words were said, the faces of some officials changed instantly. This is not a good thing. After all, Li Shan's passing must have affected Gu Jinnian.
No one knew what Gu Jinnian wanted to do, but what they believed was that Gu Jinnian must be doing it for the good of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In Li Shan's past, there are only disadvantages and no benefits.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, it will chill the heart of Lord Marquis."
"His Majesty."
Some officials have said that Yang Kai is the main force, imploring Emperor Yongsheng not to do so.
"An official, no matter who he is, even Jinnian, needs to be supervised. Since some people have questioned it, supervision is also a reasonable thing. Why not?"
"Jin Nian walks upright, sits upright, and is not afraid of being supervised."
"However, Li Shan, I also want to tell you that your authority is only to check whether the people are suffering. Other things have nothing to do with you, do you know?"
Emperor Yongsheng knew it well, he knew exactly what Gu Jinnian wanted to do.
Coincidentally, at this time, someone jumped out on their own initiative, so they sent them over together, and let Gu Jinnian severely suppress them.
Of course, the main reason is that since the people have such doubts, it is better to let everyone go and see, so as to prove something, so that Gu Jinnian will not work hard here to rescue the disaster, but someone will make a trick behind his back.
"Your Majesty is wise."
To be honest, Li Shan really didn't expect that Emperor Yongsheng would do this, because in his opinion, Emperor Yongsheng would also favor Gu Jinnian.
What he did today was entirely to confirm the possibility of this matter. If Emperor Yongsheng asked himself to investigate, then he would definitely be able to find out some right and wrong.
If Emperor Yongsheng didn't allow himself to investigate, then Gu Jinnian's bullying of the people would be confirmed.
It's just that I didn't expect it, and I really asked myself to check it.
For a while, he really didn't know why Emperor Yongsheng was doing this?
It's really like accompanying a king like a tiger.
It seems that Gu Jinnian has such prestige, it is impossible for Emperor Yongsheng not to be jealous, and it is impossible for him not to want to suppress Gu Jinnian.
Li Shan could only think about it from this aspect.
Hearing what Emperor Yongsheng said, some officials were also silent, and could only pray for Gu Jinnian in their hearts.
in this way.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.
What happened in Jiangzhong County as a whole, the big guys don't actually know.
But what Gu Jinnian did spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, including the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Xiongnu Kingdom.
These forces are always concerned about the difficulties in Jiangzhong County, after all, their interests are also involved.
As far as the three major forces are concerned, they naturally hope that the Great Xia will have a complete civil strife, how could they miss it?
When the news of Gu Jinnian beheading the prince of the nineteenth mansion came out, it caused quite a bit of controversy.
It is not a big deal to kill the princes of the Nineteen Houses. Some corrupt officials will die as soon as they die.
What really caused controversy was that Gu Jinnian set up a big banquet, which was supposed to be to invite the people to eat, but in fact the people really did eat. The officers, soldiers and officials feasted on the big fish and meat, and after eating, they forced the people to cut the wheat.
This caused great controversy.
Most people actually don't believe it, thinking that Gu Jinnian is a good official who loves the people like a son, but there is no storm without waves.
Fortunately, the imperial court has sent the current prime minister, the twelve Confucian scholars of Yushitai, and more than 100 scholars to Jiangzhong County to investigate the situation in person.
So although there are controversies, most people are still waiting for a result.
But compared to the doubts of the Xia counties.
After another night of spreading, the entire Jiangzhong County has been completely blown up.
"Have you heard? Lord Hou distributed the rice specially provided by the royal family to our common people to eat. I heard that this rice, after eating, can prolong life and live a long life."
"Is there such a thing?"
"seriously?"
"Really? It's true. I have a relative. He ate a meal yesterday. After eating, guess what? He ran all the way back to my hometown from Jiangzhong Fucheng, back and forth eighty miles away. , do you know why he ran? After eating, there is inexhaustible strength in his whole body."
"I know this. It's true. It's true. I have a sister who lives in Jiangzhong County. Mi Fan, the whole person is in good spirits and can already get out of bed and work."
"You guys know about this? My son has already gone to the Jiangzhong County Mansion. After eating, he came back and brought me a small bite. I took a small bite. I was bloodied like a chicken." Same."
"Look at my face, isn't it much better?"
Nearly a million people in Fucheng ate Daxialong rice. After eating, these people really didn't know what to do. Some people went to harvest the wheat, but when they went to the place, they were all human beings, and they couldn't find them. Cut everywhere.
But I was full of energy, and I really didn't know what to do, so I simply ran to other places and told this matter, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable in my heart.
In this way, one spreads ten, ten spreads one hundred, the more spread, the more outrageous, the more scary.
What prolongs life and prevents all diseases from invading.
These are not exaggerations, until I don't know who said that the rice brought by Gu Jinnian can aphrodisiac.
Now, the whole Jiangzhong county is fried.
Some people didn't believe it at first, and thought it was too exaggerated. No matter how good the rice is, it is impossible to strengthen yang.
Especially an old doctor, who was furious, said it was all rumors, and explained to the common people that it is impossible to strengthen the yang by eating.
This is very reasonable, but I don't know who said it.
If it is not aphrodisiac, why does the emperor have so many sons?
After saying this, the old man fell silent.
Everyone was silent.
Immediately afterwards, just as the sky was getting brighter, the old man picked up the box and left.
Asking him what he was going to do, the old man walked straight into the city without saying a word.
After a while, everyone realized that the old man was going to the banquet to wait for the meal.
That's it, the entire nineteen prefectures of Jiangzhong County, under Zhou Man's arrangement, all the prefectures, county towns, and pavilions held banquets, and the [-] troops cooperated with the [-] soldiers of Jiangzhong County. Within six hours, the arrangements were properly arranged when.
And because this Daxia Longmi was completely spread, the common people who had never eaten it, looked forward to it one by one, and assisted the government to make arrangements.
The table is set.
The dishes and chopsticks are also set up.
Everything is ready, whether it is the pot or the water for cooking. Anyway, the common people should not take it too easy once they get started.
As for the first meal, the time Gu Jinnian set up was Chenshi.
It's time to start cooking.
Everyone is looking forward to the big charron rice.
Wait until after the hour.
Finally, the banquet was held. Because of previous experience, the soldiers did not prepare many side dishes, mainly because they were afraid that the common people would not be able to eat them, so they gave them to eat.
When the pots of Daxialong rice were delivered, the common people were still skeptical from the bottom of their hearts.
But after eating.
The entire Jiangzhong County was completely boiling.
From yesterday to today, I have been hearing it all the time. Although rumors are something that people believe, there is still a trace of distrust in my heart.
But after the banquet is over.
The people of Jiangzhong County believed it completely.
After a few meals, my whole body is steaming hot, and it’s fine if I’m not hungry at all, and I’m full of energy from top to bottom.
What's more, this Daxia Longmi tastes delicious, no worse than big fish and meat.
The rice grains are plump, and it tastes full of fragrance. After eating, you will feel full of energy.
Coupled with prolonging life, being free from all diseases, longevity, and the most important aphrodisiac effect, can the common people stand it?
Everyone praised Gu Jinnian as a good official, and gave the people the rice specially provided by the emperor.
I also understand why the emperor has so many heirs. If you eat this thing every day, can you not have many children?
However, originally Gu Jinnian planned to hold two banquets.
But the effect of Daxia Longmi is really good. Near the evening, the people did not come one by one. They were too full to feel hungry at all.
Most of the people are harvesting wheat in the rice fields, and some are queuing.
There are also some who really have nothing to do and are forced to plow the land.
I don't know if it is a psychological effect or it really has this effect, anyway, the people who have returned from plowing the land.
It is more certain that the Daxia Longmi has an aphrodisiac effect.
And what happened in Jiangzhong County today has also spread.
Pingyang official road.
The army galloped.
Sitting in the carriage, Hou Jun heard the spies report that Gu Jinnian hosted a banquet, which was still two or two meters per person, and it was originally promised to be two meals, but in the end it was only one meal.
The soldiers were still big fish and meat, and after the people finished eating, they were still sent to harvest wheat.
It makes the people gather together, not knowing what they are talking about in a low voice, which is likely to generate huge public grievances.
After getting this news.
Hou Jun was very excited.
Let the army speed up and rush to Jiangzhong County, and arrive at the various prefectures of Jiangzhong County before noon tomorrow.
Cook and eat for the people.
earn public opinion.
Thinking of this, the smile on Hou Jun's face was extremely bright.
When I arrive tomorrow, I will hold a banquet by myself, and the people will rush to eat one by one, and then I will be grateful to myself.
Thinking of this, Hou Jun smiled even more.
That's it.
The next day.
The hour arrives.
One hundred thousand troops have arrived at Jiangzhong County's prefecture.
At this time, outside Jiangzhong County's county mansion, some soldiers were preparing to start cooking.
(End of this chapter)
"My lord, my lord."
"Big happy event, great happy event."
at this time.
It's not yet dawn.
Hou Jun came to King Ning's study in a hurry, looking extremely excited.
"What happened?"
King Ning was a little curious, looking at Hou Jun, wondering what good things happened.
"Go back to your lord."
"The spies came to report that as soon as Gu Jinnian arrived in Jiangzhong County, he beheaded the prince of the nineteenth mansion."
Hou Jun said, this is the first thing.
"As expected, that's his character."
King Ning didn't seem particularly surprised, on the contrary, he felt that it was reasonable and in line with Gu Jinnian's way of life.
"Angrily beheading the princes of the nineteenth mansion, where is Wang Wei?"
King Ning asked directly.
Hearing what happened to Wang Wei, Hou Jun lowered his head and said, "Wang Wei hanged himself before Gu Jinnian arrived. We have sent someone to investigate. He is indeed dead. There is no disguise or fake death."
Hou Jun replied.
He deliberately asked people to investigate, and Wang Wei was dead, and it was indeed Wang Wei.
"Wang Wei is dead?"
King Ning was a little surprised.
"Gu Jinnian claims to be the sage of future generations, but his methods are still so dirty. It's ridiculous."
Hou Jun laughed.
Wang Wei's death made Hou Jun think that Gu Jinnian was worthless.
"It wasn't Gu Jinnian's method. He brought Gu Ningya, the commander of the Xuandeng Division, if he wasn't cruel, would he really be able to reach that position?"
King Ning did not despise Gu Jinnian too much.
"What the lord said is very true."
"This Gu Ningya is indeed extraordinary."
Hou Jun nodded.
"What I'm curious about now is how did Gu Jinnian see through this trick?"
"If he knew about it a long time ago, he could just stop, take a day's rest, and find out in the middle of the walk?"
King Ning was very curious about how Gu Jinnian saw through this trick.
"Going back to my lord, I heard that someone stopped Gu Jinnian's jade chariot. Maybe this person was explaining the confusion, but I don't know exactly how."
Hou Jun made a sound and said so.
"Oh?"
"Then it seems that Jiangzhong County still has talents. Sure enough, the big hermit lives in the city, and the little hermit hides in the wild."
"Investigate this person thoroughly, and see if he can be recruited after the matter is successful."
Ning Wang said.
"Yes."
Hou Jun nodded.
"You just said that there is good news, what good news is it?"
King Ning continued to speak out, asking Hou Jun.
Upon hearing this, Hou Jun immediately spoke out, with an unconcealable joy on his face.
"My lord, the spies came to report that Gu Jinnian arrived in Jiangzhong County, and directly beheaded the nineteen princes in anger. Afterwards, he started cooking and entertained all the people in the county."
"It's just that Gu Jinnian let the people eat some rice. It's called military rations, which are specially provided by the royal family. Each commoner can only get two or two rice, and it's just five taels of rice in a bowl."
"As for those officers and men, all of them eat sweets and drink spicy food, eat big fish and meat, and their mouths are full of oil. Under the power, they oppress the people, which has caused the people of the entire Jiangzhong County to be angry."
"Even Gu Jinnian asked these people to harvest the wheat and harvest the fields without giving them enough food, and forced them to do this kind of thing. The spies came to report, saying that these people were aggressive and had already generated public grievances."
Hou Jun was extremely excited.
It's just that after saying this, King Ning frowned suddenly, feeling unbelievable.
"how is this possible?"
"Gu Jinnian loves the people like a son. Everyone in the world knows that. How could he oppress the people like this?"
"Furthermore, even a corrupt official will at least put on an air. This is definitely not what Gu Jinnian did."
King Ning frowned directly, he didn't believe it at all, this was what Gu Jinnian did.
It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't make sense either.
But the latter arched his hands.
"My lord, my subordinates don't believe it either, but after reports from various spies, the facts are indeed true, there is no falsehood."
Hou Jun didn't understand either, but it was indeed the truth.
At this moment, King Ning was completely silent.
Although Gu Jinnian's method had already been figured out by them, it was completely out of Chaohu's imagination to do it again suddenly.
"Is there any information that hasn't been said?"
"Did the spies in the city say anything?"
King Ning frowned and asked Hou Jun.
"Going back to the prince, the spies in the city can't come out at all, they are all ordinary people, and Gu Jinnian blocked the entrance and exit, and there is no news."
"My lord, at least [-]% of the grain stored in Jiangzhong County has been burned."
Hou Jun opened his mouth and explained clearly about the spies in the city, and then revealed the news that the granary was destroyed.
After Hou Jun thought about it, he suddenly realized.
"My lord, the subordinates probably know what kind of tricks Gu Jinnian is playing."
Hou Jun made a sound, he thought of a possibility.
"You said."
King Ning asked the opponent to analyze.
"Hou Jun, think about this possibility. According to the character of taking care of Jinnian, he would definitely not treat the people like this, but just after he thought he had solved the matter of Wang Wei, he didn't expect us to have a backhand .”
"The granary was directly burned down. After learning about this situation, Gu Jinnian felt deeply pressured. After all, although the imperial court is transporting grain, how can the grain transported by the imperial court be eaten by the whole county?"
"If you really want to eat, how much can you eat?"
"Therefore, Gu Jinnian came up with such a bad idea, calling it a feast for the common people, but in fact, each person is only two or two meters long."
"In this way, at least the people will not starve to death, and at the same time, we will slowly find a way."
"In this way, although the people will complain, but there are not many complaints, at least they can survive, and then live on two or two meters a day. The imperial court's food transportation, plus the remaining [-]% of the granary, can last for half a month. of."
"My lord, what do you think of my subordinate's guess?"
Hou Jun expressed his thoughts, and I have to say that his thoughts are quite reasonable.
At least after King Ning heard this, he also felt that this was the case.
"possible."
King Ning nodded.
"But what this king thinks more is that Gu Jinnian will entertain the people to eat two or two rice in these two days, but after a few days, the people will be full. They will be hungry for three days and full for seven days. As long as the people don't die, it will be good for him It’s a good thing to say.”
King Ning recognized Hou Jun's words, but he also had his own opinions.
"What the prince said is very true, and this may be very big."
Hou Jun immediately nodded and agreed.
"Why is this matter a happy event for the king?"
But soon, King Ning looked at Hou Jun curiously again, why is this a happy event?
Hearing this, Hou Jun immediately spoke.
"My lord, why isn't this a great joy?"
"We have stored grain for many years, and now we only need to send [-] troops to transport grain to Jiangzhong County."
"As soon as Jiangzhong County comes, the people of Jiangzhong County will definitely be grateful and gain public opinion."
"Secondly, it can be regarded as suppressing Gu Jinnian's reputation, which will be of great benefit to future plans."
"Thirdly, the prince's deployment of the army can also support the three great families in Jiangzhong County."
"Three things with one stone."
When Hou Jun opened his mouth, he mentioned three benefits.
Indeed, after hearing this, King Ning was a little moved. He cared about the first and third items, but the others were just average.
It is indeed very good to win the hearts of the people and give confidence to the three great families.
However, King Ning was still a little worried. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as he imagined.
It is impossible for Gu Jinnian to do such a thing. He would believe in other people, but he would not believe in Gu Jinnian.
"Is there such a possibility?"
"What Gu Jinnian feeds the common people is the big golden dragon rice?"
King Ning expressed his conjecture that it was not uncommon for Gu Jinnian to feed the common people and let the soldiers feast on fish and meat.
After all, the lives of soldiers are more important, but it shouldn't be so unobtrusive, right?
Do you want to play a show?
What's more, this person is Gu Jinnian, so it's hard for him to understand.
It's just that after King Ning said this, Hou Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"My lord, we also have big golden dragon rice in our house, don't you know about this kind of thing?"
"Let's not talk about how precious the big golden dragon rice is. This kind of big golden dragon rice is hard for normal warriors to digest. If people eat this kind of dragon rice, they are afraid that their blood will burst and die. How can it be big golden dragon rice?"
Hou Jun said, this big golden dragon rice is divided into three grades, one is provided to the royal family, one is provided to the dignitaries, and the other is provided to the rich of the Dajin Dynasty.
But no matter what level it is, warriors must be able to eat it. Even ordinary warriors can only drink rice soup, which is counted as nourishing the body.
When Hou Jun said this, King Ning also nodded. There is indeed a big golden dragon rice in King Ning's mansion.
"But I still feel that something is wrong, let's check again?"
King Ning made a sound, feeling something was wrong.
"My lord."
"The subordinates will naturally follow the prince's arrangement, but if the food from the court arrives, at least in the first half a month, Gu Jinnian will not be short of food. Does the prince plan to wait half a month before collecting public opinion?"
"Half a month, it's not long, but in case, the subordinates mean in case, in case Gu Jinnian really comes up with something that really solves Jiangzhong County's difficulties, what should we do?"
Hou Jun had no other intentions. He could wait for half a month, but the problem was, he didn't know what Gu Jinnian's method was during this half month.
Indeed, King Ning also felt reasonable when he said this.
He thought over and over again, and finally took a deep breath.
"Well."
"Immediately send an army of one hundred thousand, prepare food, chicken, duck, fish, meat, beef, sheep and pigs, all are ready for this king, and sent to Jiangzhong County, so that these people can feast on it."
"This king only needs two meals, and he can be praised by the people of Jiangzhong County. It's really not a loss."
After thinking about it, King Ning directly agreed. It only takes two meals to get public opinion. This deal is a good deal no matter what.
As soon as this remark came out, Hou Jun nodded immediately.
"My lord is wise."
After saying this, Hou Jun immediately went to prepare.
"kindness."
King Ning also nodded, deeply satisfied.
But as soon as he walked out the door, Hou Jun suddenly turned back and looked at
"My lord, I heard that the Great Xia Dynasty is buying spirit crystals aggressively. Do we want to drive up the price?"
Hou Jun spoke up and asked King Ning about this matter.
"Buy spirit crystals?"
"It seems that the imperial court has no other means. It wants to build dragon boats and treasure ships to solve this crisis."
"However, until now, we can only do this. After all, spirit crystals are dead things. It's a pity that if this king ascends the throne in the future, he will lose a large amount of spirit crystals in vain."
"It's really hateful that all the spiritual crystals accumulated by the Great Xia Dynasty for a hundred years will be lost in Yongsheng's hands."
"Okay, drive up the price, but definitely don't buy it. If you buy spirit crystals at this juncture, you will have to pay a huge price."
King Ning said, at this time, there are not many opportunities to stumbling the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is only one to catch one.
"As ordered."
Hou Jun didn't talk too much, after finishing speaking, he left here.
After Hou Jun left, King Ning couldn't help smiling.
"Yongsheng, Yongsheng, you asked Gu Jinnian to help the disaster, but you never imagined that I can win the public opinion of the people in Jiangzhong County with just two meals."
King Ning was talking to himself with a smile on his face.
For him, the people in Jiangzhong County must be miserable, and Gu Jinnian gave five taels of food to each other. To be honest, it could save lives, but it was only for saving lives.
When there were outsiders at the beginning, King Ning did not behave well, and waited for Hou Jun to leave.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Jinnian had reached his limit.
The imperial court transported grain relatively slowly.
The granary in Jiangzhong County was also burned down.
The previous policy of concentrating food would make the situation in Jiangzhong County more and more severe. Now that a [-] army is sent to treat the people to two meals, then everyone will only think about the good of King Ning.
Instead of praising Gu Jinnian for his goodness.
It is good for him to rebel in the future, even if Gu Jinnian stabilizes Jiangzhong County, he will not lose his reputation as King Ning.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Kill two birds with one stone.
King Ning was very happy. In his mind, a large amount of grain was transported to Jiangzhong County, and the people ate big fish and meat, praising him as the king of virtue.
Very beautiful.
It's so beautiful.
And at the same time.
In Daxia Kyoto.
In the court hall.
A voice resounded in the hall.
"His Majesty."
"I received a report from spies that Gu Jinnian went to Jiangzhong County to kill the prince of the nineteen mansions. The method was straightforward."
"Moreover, in order to stabilize the hearts of the people, a banquet is held, and all the people in Jiangzhong County are invited to eat."
"Your Majesty, this is a kind act."
A voice sounded, it was Yang Kai's voice, praising Gu Jinnian.
Hearing this, all the officials also nodded, approving Gu Jinnian's actions, beheading corrupt officials, opening warehouses to release food, this is a good thing.
But before Emperor Yongsheng praised Gu Jinnian, a discordant voice sounded.
"His Majesty."
"I have something to announce."
It was the voice of the right servant of the official department.
Following the voice of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, everyone immediately understood that something must have happened.
Emperor Yongsheng glanced at him, but he didn't stop him, letting the other party speak directly.
"Precise play."
At that moment, the voice of the right servant of the Ministry of Officials sounded.
"Your Majesty, an official came to report that Gu Jinnian had indeed beheaded the lord of the [-]th mansion, but it was not because the lord of the [-]th mansion was corrupt and perverted the law, but because of the fire in Jiangzhong County's granary. Lord Fufu."
He opened his mouth and said so.
This is the news from the people below. No one knows the details. After all, Jiangzhong County is thousands of miles apart. Who knows what happened?
"The granary fire?"
"That's more right to kill."
Upon hearing the fire broke out in the granary, Emperor Yongsheng frowned, full of anger.
At this juncture, a fire broke out in the granary?Are you kidding me here?
It's just that Gu Jinnian has a way to suppress the disaster in Jiangzhong County, so he doesn't worry about anything, and besides, he has expected this kind of thing before.
"Your Majesty's words are very true, and I think so too."
"It's just that there are rumors from officials that Lord Hou held a large banquet in Jiangzhong County, steamed and cooked rice, and rescued the people in disasters, but each commoner only had less than two or two meters in their bowls, and the rice was extremely poor."
"That's why many people stopped eating after two bites."
He opened his mouth and continued to play.
As soon as this remark came out, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked. Relief of disasters and people, two or two meters per person?Who is enough for this?The old man is better, and the normal young people are suffering from a famine, even though they know that the court does not have much food.
But it's not enough to give such a little, right?
At least make people feel full, right?
But most people don't believe it, because Gu Jinnian is not such a person.
However, on the dragon chair, Emperor Yongsheng instantly understood what was going on.
What kind of inferior rice is obviously Daxia Longmi. Emperor Yongsheng has eaten this Daxialong rice. For the common people, two taels are really a little more, maybe one tael is enough.
It's not that the people don't want to eat it, but they can't finish it.
Just be misunderstood.
Immediately, Emperor Yongsheng wanted to explain aloud, but soon, Emperor Yongsheng remained silent again.
He thought of something, so there was no answer.
"This is impossible."
"Master Hou would not do such a thing, it must be spreading rumors."
Yang Kai's voice sounded, and he didn't recognize it immediately.
Because it's impossible.
"My lord Yang, the lower officials also hope that this is a rumor, but it's not just one official who made such a report, but many officials who made the report."
The other party replied with a firm attitude.
Now many officials are a little silent, even Yang Kai doesn't know what to say.
After all, the other party is the right servant of the official department, and if he dared to speak in the court, it proved that he had enough confidence and evidence, otherwise, he would not dare to speak so nonsense.
"The granary was burned, and there was almost no food in stock. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people and provide relief to the people, although one person is only two or two meters long, after cooking, it should be five or two meters. To be honest, although it is not enough to eat, at least it will not be full. hungry."
"Hou Ye's move should be for the sake of the common people. I really admire the talent of Hou Ye."
Yang Kai continued to speak, he changed his mind, thinking that Gu Jinnian had other arrangements.
As soon as these words were said, many officials recognized them, because Gu Jinnian's personality would not harm the people, so they believed Yang Kai's words unconditionally.
As for the right servant of the official department, he immediately spoke.
"The lower officials also thought so at the beginning, but they didn't expect that there were officials who reported that the common people only ate two or two meters, which was fine, and the soldiers in the army killed cattle and pigs, and prepared a table of sumptuous meals. .”
"However, they don't give the common people any oily food, and they feast on them one by one. If you dare to ask Mr. Yang, how can this be explained?"
The other party made a sound and told this matter.
After saying this, everyone didn't know how to answer.
Yang Kai was also slightly silent.
"Is there a possibility that the common people don't want to eat too meaty food?"
This time Yang Kai himself did not have the confidence to say this.
Not to mention the rest of the officials.
"Master Yang, are you joking?"
The right servant of the official department asked Yang Kai.
He knew that Gu Jinnian had a very good relationship with Yang Kai, but he shouldn't help like this, right?
Just bite the bullet and blow?
No, no, it's reasonable, no one will say anything about Gu Jinnian, and everyone will not say anything bad, but if you don't do well, you still want to brag about it?That's a bit too much.
"Why are you joking?"
"Your Majesty, I have really heard that if you don't eat for a few days and suddenly overeat, you will die on the spot. This kind of thing is not a rumor."
"Didn't something similar happen when His Majesty led troops to fight?"
"In my opinion, Lord Hou must be afraid that these people will eat too much greasy food and their bodies will not be able to bear it, so that's why they are so tired, and the soldiers are tired, so what if they eat some fish?"
This time, Wang Qixin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, followed suit, thinking that there was such a possibility.
As soon as this remark came out, it was also recognized by some officials.
"There is such a thing."
The Minister of the Ministry of War nodded. This is true. When soldiers were marching and fighting, they would encounter food shortages. The soldiers were so hungry that they gnawed on the bark. Later, they were rescued and overeat. Indeed, several people died.
So there is a possibility.
"it is good."
"Even so, there are still officials who report that the people ran to cut the wheat after eating two or two meters, or even less than two or two meters. I dare to ask you, since they are afraid that the people will overeat, why do they let the people eat too much? The people go to reap the wheat?"
"Could it be that Master Hou is afraid that these people will eat too much and suffer from indigestion?"
"Everyone, it's impossible to cook a pound of rice with these two or two meters, right? Even if you eat a pound of rice, you won't have to cut the wheat, right?"
He spoke out, questioning the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, especially looking at Yang Kai and Wang Qixin.
Hearing these words, the two were indeed silent. At this moment, there was really nothing to say.
"Could it be fake?"
"Could it be that Lord Hou angrily beheaded the nineteen princes, and these officials made up stories?"
However, Gu Leng, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, said that he thought it was a fake, and someone deliberately wanted to frame Gu Jinnian.
"Yes, yes, it must be fake."
"How could Lord Hou do such a thing? Anyway, I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
"This is obviously fake."
Yang Kai and the others agreed one after another, insisting that this was a fake. To be honest, they really didn't believe that Gu Jinnian would do this.
There must be something hidden.
Now that Gu Jinnian was fixing disasters in Jiangzhong County, and they were in charge of keeping the overall situation in the court, they had to speak well for Gu Jinnian, so as not to cause trouble for Gu Jinnian.
Hearing this, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials was really at a loss.
Knowing that these people are partial to Gu Jinnian, there is nothing to say, but this kind of partiality is a bit too much.
No, it's not that partiality is too much, it's too much.
"The lower officer thinks so too."
"So I asked the officer three times."
"Officials from all the prefectures in Jiangzhong County have written in blood to confirm that this matter is true."
The right servant of the Ministry of Officials obviously has a problem, and he is unwilling to let go of this matter. All the officials don't want to say anything, and he is still stubborn here.
When it came to this, everyone was completely silent.
Ironclad evidence.
Although I don't understand what Gu Jinnian is thinking.
Giving the people two or two meters, the officers and soldiers feasted on fish and meat, and even asked the people to harvest wheat, this does not make sense anyway.
"The officials below may not necessarily tell the truth. What if they want to target Lord Hou?"
"Yes, it is not ruled out that the officials will target Lord Hou. After all, how can Jiangzhong County set fire to the granary? Lord Hou wants to investigate thoroughly, will it affect the interests of many officials? This must be considered."
"Your Majesty, I believe that no matter what, at this time, you can't listen to slander, and you still have to rely on Lord Marquis."
"Yes, yes, you must trust Lord Hou."
The attitude of the officials is actually very obvious, and there is no other reason. Gu Jinnian is in the limelight now, the biggest celebrity in front of the emperor, this time Jiangzhong County is in trouble, if Gu Jinnian really solves it.
Then when Gu Jinnian comes back, he needs to be an extremely human minister. Who would dare to provoke such a character?
Even if there was a party dispute, he would not dare to argue with Gu Jinnian.
To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian didn't fix Jiangzhong County's disaster this time, and Emperor Yongsheng was reluctant to kill Gu Jinnian. It was nothing more than a crisis in the Great Xia Dynasty.
But if Gu Jinnian solves the difficulties of Jiangzhong County, everyone will be happy. At this time, when Gu Jinnian knows that someone in the court is targeting him, it will be a bit bad.
At least until things become clear, most officials are on the sidelines.
Absolutely will not mess around.
However, at this moment, Li Shan's voice could not help but sound.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Lord Hou will not act recklessly, and there must be some problems."
"It's just that since the local officials made such a report, and the minister also heard some news outside, it seems that Lord Hou has done some bad things."
"Since the matter has come to this point, I would like to ask for orders to go to Jiangzhong County. If this matter is just an official slander, I can punish these officials. If it is really what the Lord Hou did, I can also ask clearly. So what happened."
"It also prevents all officials in the court from panic, and those scholars are the most afraid. If this matter spreads to the ears of scholars in other dynasties, it will be a little bad."
Li Shan's voice sounded.
The prime minister is worthy of being a prime minister. He obviously wanted to investigate Gu Jinnian, but he said it was as if he was helping Gu Jinnian.
The right servant of the Ministry of Officials must not dare to take the initiative to trouble Gu Jinnian, there must be someone behind this, full of civil and military affairs, in fact, everyone knows that Li Shan is somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Jinnian.
At first, Gu Jinnian got all the limelight, which made him seem useless as prime minister.
Secondly, His Majesty was so gracious to Gu Jinnian and worried that the emperor would make Gu Jinnian the prime minister.
To sum up all kinds of things, Li Shan naturally doesn't have much affection for Gu Jinnian. Of course, most officials don't understand the deeper struggle, and don't want to get involved.
"No."
At this moment, Yang Kai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Qixin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Gu Leng, the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment, all spoke together.
"Since Your Majesty has given the general command to Lord Hou, if you send someone to look for Lord Hou at this time, will you be suspicious of Lord Hou? If Lord Hou finds out, will you feel chilled? I don't think so."
"That's right, Your Majesty, if you let Xiang Li go, it will indeed shake people's hearts. After all, everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty has given power to Lord Hou. If Li Xiang goes, what will all the soldiers think? What will the officials think? How will the common people go?" Think? Does it mean that His Majesty no longer trusts Lord Hou?"
"I believe that the fate will not mess around, these are just rumors."
A sound rang out.
They resolutely disagreed, and there was no other reason. Li Shan's passing was just to make things difficult for Gu Jinnian.
Since it was a blocker, why did you let him go there?
Now no matter what the party dispute is, and no matter who is beneficial or not, the main thing is to solve the difficulties in Jiangzhong County.
Li Shan ran over, probably with good intentions.
Facing the rebuttals from the officials, Li Shan didn't frown or look ugly, but spoke quietly.
"I believe in the destiny, but scholars all over the world don't believe it. Even in my Daxia territory, some scholars have great doubts about this matter."
"I naturally think that Tian Minghou is not such a person, but he can't stand the rumors."
Li Shan made a sound, suppressing everyone with scholars.
"These scholars like to talk nonsense. Let them govern the country. Have they managed it? They just know how to make sarcastic remarks."
"As long as the difficulties in Jiangzhong County are resolved, what impact will the words of these scholars have?"
Everyone still helped Gu Jinnian.
However, at this moment, the voice of Emperor Yongsheng on the dragon chair sounded.
"Are many scholars really mentioning this?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked at Li Shan and asked.
"Return to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true."
Li Shan nodded.
"it is good."
"Then I give you the responsibility of supervising, but it's not just you. The twelve Confucian scholars of Yushitai also went together, including the territory of Daxia, and selected a hundred Confucian scholars, ranging from ordinary scholars to great Confucian scholars, to Jiangzhong County. Go see for yourself."
"See if Gu Jinnian is messing around. If so, report back to Beijing immediately. I will make my own choice."
"If not, let them shut their mouths, and whoever dares to slander in the future will be slapped a hundred times."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, and he gave Li Shan the responsibility of supervision.
As soon as these words were said, the faces of some officials changed instantly. This is not a good thing. After all, Li Shan's passing must have affected Gu Jinnian.
No one knew what Gu Jinnian wanted to do, but what they believed was that Gu Jinnian must be doing it for the good of the Great Xia Dynasty.
In Li Shan's past, there are only disadvantages and no benefits.
"Your Majesty, this is impossible."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, it will chill the heart of Lord Marquis."
"His Majesty."
Some officials have said that Yang Kai is the main force, imploring Emperor Yongsheng not to do so.
"An official, no matter who he is, even Jinnian, needs to be supervised. Since some people have questioned it, supervision is also a reasonable thing. Why not?"
"Jin Nian walks upright, sits upright, and is not afraid of being supervised."
"However, Li Shan, I also want to tell you that your authority is only to check whether the people are suffering. Other things have nothing to do with you, do you know?"
Emperor Yongsheng knew it well, he knew exactly what Gu Jinnian wanted to do.
Coincidentally, at this time, someone jumped out on their own initiative, so they sent them over together, and let Gu Jinnian severely suppress them.
Of course, the main reason is that since the people have such doubts, it is better to let everyone go and see, so as to prove something, so that Gu Jinnian will not work hard here to rescue the disaster, but someone will make a trick behind his back.
"Your Majesty is wise."
To be honest, Li Shan really didn't expect that Emperor Yongsheng would do this, because in his opinion, Emperor Yongsheng would also favor Gu Jinnian.
What he did today was entirely to confirm the possibility of this matter. If Emperor Yongsheng asked himself to investigate, then he would definitely be able to find out some right and wrong.
If Emperor Yongsheng didn't allow himself to investigate, then Gu Jinnian's bullying of the people would be confirmed.
It's just that I didn't expect it, and I really asked myself to check it.
For a while, he really didn't know why Emperor Yongsheng was doing this?
It's really like accompanying a king like a tiger.
It seems that Gu Jinnian has such prestige, it is impossible for Emperor Yongsheng not to be jealous, and it is impossible for him not to want to suppress Gu Jinnian.
Li Shan could only think about it from this aspect.
Hearing what Emperor Yongsheng said, some officials were also silent, and could only pray for Gu Jinnian in their hearts.
in this way.
In a blink of an eye, it was the next day.
What happened in Jiangzhong County as a whole, the big guys don't actually know.
But what Gu Jinnian did spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, including the Fuluo Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, and the Xiongnu Kingdom.
These forces are always concerned about the difficulties in Jiangzhong County, after all, their interests are also involved.
As far as the three major forces are concerned, they naturally hope that the Great Xia will have a complete civil strife, how could they miss it?
When the news of Gu Jinnian beheading the prince of the nineteenth mansion came out, it caused quite a bit of controversy.
It is not a big deal to kill the princes of the Nineteen Houses. Some corrupt officials will die as soon as they die.
What really caused controversy was that Gu Jinnian set up a big banquet, which was supposed to be to invite the people to eat, but in fact the people really did eat. The officers, soldiers and officials feasted on the big fish and meat, and after eating, they forced the people to cut the wheat.
This caused great controversy.
Most people actually don't believe it, thinking that Gu Jinnian is a good official who loves the people like a son, but there is no storm without waves.
Fortunately, the imperial court has sent the current prime minister, the twelve Confucian scholars of Yushitai, and more than 100 scholars to Jiangzhong County to investigate the situation in person.
So although there are controversies, most people are still waiting for a result.
But compared to the doubts of the Xia counties.
After another night of spreading, the entire Jiangzhong County has been completely blown up.
"Have you heard? Lord Hou distributed the rice specially provided by the royal family to our common people to eat. I heard that this rice, after eating, can prolong life and live a long life."
"Is there such a thing?"
"seriously?"
"Really? It's true. I have a relative. He ate a meal yesterday. After eating, guess what? He ran all the way back to my hometown from Jiangzhong Fucheng, back and forth eighty miles away. , do you know why he ran? After eating, there is inexhaustible strength in his whole body."
"I know this. It's true. It's true. I have a sister who lives in Jiangzhong County. Mi Fan, the whole person is in good spirits and can already get out of bed and work."
"You guys know about this? My son has already gone to the Jiangzhong County Mansion. After eating, he came back and brought me a small bite. I took a small bite. I was bloodied like a chicken." Same."
"Look at my face, isn't it much better?"
Nearly a million people in Fucheng ate Daxialong rice. After eating, these people really didn't know what to do. Some people went to harvest the wheat, but when they went to the place, they were all human beings, and they couldn't find them. Cut everywhere.
But I was full of energy, and I really didn't know what to do, so I simply ran to other places and told this matter, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable in my heart.
In this way, one spreads ten, ten spreads one hundred, the more spread, the more outrageous, the more scary.
What prolongs life and prevents all diseases from invading.
These are not exaggerations, until I don't know who said that the rice brought by Gu Jinnian can aphrodisiac.
Now, the whole Jiangzhong county is fried.
Some people didn't believe it at first, and thought it was too exaggerated. No matter how good the rice is, it is impossible to strengthen yang.
Especially an old doctor, who was furious, said it was all rumors, and explained to the common people that it is impossible to strengthen the yang by eating.
This is very reasonable, but I don't know who said it.
If it is not aphrodisiac, why does the emperor have so many sons?
After saying this, the old man fell silent.
Everyone was silent.
Immediately afterwards, just as the sky was getting brighter, the old man picked up the box and left.
Asking him what he was going to do, the old man walked straight into the city without saying a word.
After a while, everyone realized that the old man was going to the banquet to wait for the meal.
That's it, the entire nineteen prefectures of Jiangzhong County, under Zhou Man's arrangement, all the prefectures, county towns, and pavilions held banquets, and the [-] troops cooperated with the [-] soldiers of Jiangzhong County. Within six hours, the arrangements were properly arranged when.
And because this Daxia Longmi was completely spread, the common people who had never eaten it, looked forward to it one by one, and assisted the government to make arrangements.
The table is set.
The dishes and chopsticks are also set up.
Everything is ready, whether it is the pot or the water for cooking. Anyway, the common people should not take it too easy once they get started.
As for the first meal, the time Gu Jinnian set up was Chenshi.
It's time to start cooking.
Everyone is looking forward to the big charron rice.
Wait until after the hour.
Finally, the banquet was held. Because of previous experience, the soldiers did not prepare many side dishes, mainly because they were afraid that the common people would not be able to eat them, so they gave them to eat.
When the pots of Daxialong rice were delivered, the common people were still skeptical from the bottom of their hearts.
But after eating.
The entire Jiangzhong County was completely boiling.
From yesterday to today, I have been hearing it all the time. Although rumors are something that people believe, there is still a trace of distrust in my heart.
But after the banquet is over.
The people of Jiangzhong County believed it completely.
After a few meals, my whole body is steaming hot, and it’s fine if I’m not hungry at all, and I’m full of energy from top to bottom.
What's more, this Daxia Longmi tastes delicious, no worse than big fish and meat.
The rice grains are plump, and it tastes full of fragrance. After eating, you will feel full of energy.
Coupled with prolonging life, being free from all diseases, longevity, and the most important aphrodisiac effect, can the common people stand it?
Everyone praised Gu Jinnian as a good official, and gave the people the rice specially provided by the emperor.
I also understand why the emperor has so many heirs. If you eat this thing every day, can you not have many children?
However, originally Gu Jinnian planned to hold two banquets.
But the effect of Daxia Longmi is really good. Near the evening, the people did not come one by one. They were too full to feel hungry at all.
Most of the people are harvesting wheat in the rice fields, and some are queuing.
There are also some who really have nothing to do and are forced to plow the land.
I don't know if it is a psychological effect or it really has this effect, anyway, the people who have returned from plowing the land.
It is more certain that the Daxia Longmi has an aphrodisiac effect.
And what happened in Jiangzhong County today has also spread.
Pingyang official road.
The army galloped.
Sitting in the carriage, Hou Jun heard the spies report that Gu Jinnian hosted a banquet, which was still two or two meters per person, and it was originally promised to be two meals, but in the end it was only one meal.
The soldiers were still big fish and meat, and after the people finished eating, they were still sent to harvest wheat.
It makes the people gather together, not knowing what they are talking about in a low voice, which is likely to generate huge public grievances.
After getting this news.
Hou Jun was very excited.
Let the army speed up and rush to Jiangzhong County, and arrive at the various prefectures of Jiangzhong County before noon tomorrow.
Cook and eat for the people.
earn public opinion.
Thinking of this, the smile on Hou Jun's face was extremely bright.
When I arrive tomorrow, I will hold a banquet by myself, and the people will rush to eat one by one, and then I will be grateful to myself.
Thinking of this, Hou Jun smiled even more.
That's it.
The next day.
The hour arrives.
One hundred thousand troops have arrived at Jiangzhong County's prefecture.
At this time, outside Jiangzhong County's county mansion, some soldiers were preparing to start cooking.
