Three Kingdoms: Cao Cao and Liu Bei help me to ascend the throne

Chapter 280 Shocking!

In charge of affairs of the feudal lords, Da Honglu, who justifiably dispatches troops and horses on the border.

Become Sikong in charge of water affairs and construction?

When Yang Ci's words came out, Emperor Liu Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, but in just a moment, Liu Hong's face returned to normal.

What a bright rise and dark fall...

Interesting.

Liu Hong neither agreed nor refused. Instead, he threw out the problem, "What do you think! Should I be Sikong?"

this…

Liu Hong didn't ask Liu Yu, nor did he make his own decision. Instead, he asked the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty.

This is very meaningful.

Just as the dance was over, the officials looked at me, and I looked at you... Most of them didn't know how to answer, but some had firm eyes, as if... they had thought of the answer early in the morning.

"I think that what Yang Situ said is reasonable, that Liu Dahongyu defeated Wuhuan in one battle... This is a great feat, if he can't be promoted, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the courtiers and border warriors?"

A minister cupped his hands.

Liu Hong smiled faintly on the surface, but murmured in his heart, "You only talk about being promoted, but not about becoming a noble? Hehe... this is Yang Ci's man!"

Another six or seven officials followed suit.

Meaning nothing else.

Liu Yu's contribution is too great, not rewarding is not enough to convince the public.

And these people, without exception, were marked by Liu Hong, and they all belonged to Yang Ci's faction... It seems that after the downfall of the Runan Yuan family, the Hongnong Yang family became the new leaders of these clans.

"What about you?" Liu Hong turned his eyes back to the dragon steps, "You are Sangong and Jiuqing, what do you think?"

In fact, it is said that the three lords and nine ministers...

The seat is empty...

Cao Song, the chief minister in charge of finances, has not returned to Jinan...the position is also vacant, plus Liu Yu himself...he feels a little embarrassed!

Of course... being an official is not a bad thing.

According to the past, Sikong was indeed far above the position of Dahonghe, but now...the position of Dahonghe, in charge of the affairs of the princes, the most direct...is to be able to mobilize hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Liaodong...it is not what it used to be!

"minister…"

Liu Yu was about to speak...

"Your Majesty!" Qiao Xuan took the first step, "I feel that something is wrong..."

Qiao Xuan got up slowly, looking quite solemn, "I think that now that Wuhuan is initially settled, most of the people sent to the Liaodong border are from the original Black Mountain and Yellow Turban. It is true that they now have arable land, can settle down... and will not be born again. Out of a rebellious heart, but after all, the person who recruited them in the past was Liu Dahonghe, and it was Liu Dahonghe who made the promise to them. If... Liu Dahonghe was promoted to Sikong, then... it is inevitable that these people who were originally from the Black Mountain and the Yellow Turban will be afraid , Worried, if someone with a heart takes advantage of it again, it will be... unimaginable."

What Qiao Xuan said is justified...

Liu Hong nodded slightly...

Yang Ci hurriedly said: "Qiao Taiwei's words are wrong. Is it possible that the whole world is the land of the king, and the land of the land is the king's minister. It is true that the Black Mountain Army was recruited by Liu Dahonglu, but after the recruiting? After the recruiting, they are Your Majesty's army...whether they are farming in Liaodong, or they live in any part of the Han Dynasty, in the end...they are His Majesty's people! The promotion of Liu Dahonglu to Sikong is a matter of universal celebration, and they will be happy when they know it. Why are you worrying? Could it be... As long as Da Honglu is not Liu Yu? Then these people will openly rebel against the court!"

This…

Qiao Xuan was stunned... He didn't expect Yang Ci to be so tit for tat today.

For a while, the smell of gunpowder permeated the Deyang Hall...

Liu Hong narrowed his eyes, he glanced at Yang Ci from the corner of his eye, and then back at Qiao Xuan.

Finally... his eyes fell back to Liu Yu.

He murmured in his heart, if it was just like this...then he would lose interest.

really…

"Cough cough..." Coughing lightly, a sharp voice came from Deyang Hall, "Your Majesty... Since Yang Situ and Qiao Taiwei mentioned this matter, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not..."

It was Zhang Rang who spoke...

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's eyes turned to him.

Ha ha…

Liu Hong sneered in his heart, it seemed... this game of chess has just begun, and he doesn't know when it will get better.

"Zhang Changshi has something to say, it doesn't matter..."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, what I want to talk about is the matter of 'Sikong'..." Zhang Rang's eyes moved, he deliberately made a nervous look, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the vacant seat in the chief minister's office from time to time.

Naturally... this look is for the emperor Liu Hong to see.

"What does Zhang Changshi mean by this?"

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang continued: "When you talk about Sikong, the first thing I think of is the water, trees and construction that Sikong is in charge of. This is a major issue that concerns the court and the world. But...in recent years, the court has no candidate for Sikong. Therefore... many things have been delayed... such as water conservancy dams, such as the repair of official roads... I am also worried that if the official roads in Luoyang City are not repaired... how bad will your majesty be when he leaves the palace... So, I went to Dasinong They wanted to collect some money for 'water, wood and construction'. It just so happened that the chief farmer was no longer there, so I opened the account...I never thought...this account is extremely confusing. There is no water, wood, and construction in recent years...one of the pens There are a lot of items listed, and a lot of money was spent...but... Kechen remembers clearly that there are no such items!"

Speaking of this... Zhang Rang made an exaggerated expression...

He used all the muscles in his body to express four words - "Shocking!"

"I went on to look at it...the accounts were not right at all...I boldly questioned a few officials in the Si Nong's mansion, and only then did I learn that a lot of money and food in the treasury were embezzled by Da Si Nong... and shipped to other places, It's shocking... I don't know if you don't look at it, but after looking at it, the minister is really shocking..."

call…

Hearing this... Liu Yu finally figured it out, so she was waiting here!
What big honglu, Sikong...

This special thing is just a smoke bomb, the purpose is to draw out, in the past year... due to the vacancy of "Sikong", the construction of the treasury, the confusion of water and wood expenses, Cao Song's private pockets...

What a detailed bureau!
This is a very detailed bureau!
And at this moment, Liu Yu also realized that his opponent today might be not only Zhang Rang, but also Yang Ci...

The collusion between the eunuchs and the clan... This is collusion and collusion!
"Hehe..." Liu Yu sneered.

Liu Hong also understood... Although he had some mental preparations, he was still amazed at the seamless cooperation between Yang Ci and Zhang Rang.

Not a single flaw...

Now, the crux of the problem is no longer Da Honglu and Sikong... but...

"What Zhang Changshi means is that many of the shortfalls in the treasury are filled by Cao Dasinong?" Liu Hong's words added a touch of coldness.

"I don't want to believe it, but...but this is the truth!" Zhang Rang said: "This matter is related to the national treasury, and it is related to the Da Sinong, one of the nine ministers. I dare not make a judgment, so...surreptitiously visited, and then discovered...found Cao Da Si Nong transferred a large amount of money to Chenliu... to Langya County in Xuzhou... To ensure that this matter is true, I made a special trip to Jinan Kingdom, just to verify with Cao Song and his son... But the result... the result..."

Zhang Rang showed great grief...

He seems to be mourning the huge loss of the treasury, heartbroken!
