After Bai Yueguang was reborn, the regent became black

The next day, above the court.

Eunuch Zhang shouted: "If you have a book to play, you will leave the court without incident."

"The minister has his own play." Sun Binghuai, Zhongshu's servant, took a step forward and said.

"Play." The little emperor Gu Yunchen said lightly. .

"Recently, a large number of refugees have poured into Kyoto, and theft and looting have occurred frequently."

Sun Binghuai continued: "The people in Beijing are already dissatisfied with this, please make plans early, Your Majesty."

After Sun Binghuai finished reporting, Gu Yunchen did not speak.

Instead, Shen Zhi asked coldly, "Where is Jing Zhaoyin?"

"The minister is here." Jing Zhaoyin Liu Qisheng said.

"Jing Zhaoyin is in charge of public security in Kyoto, why did this happen?" Shen Zhizhi asked.

"This happened suddenly, and I didn't expect it beforehand," Jing Zhaoyin replied with cold sweat dripping down his forehead.

Shen Zhi heard the words with a chuckle and said: "Since the beginning of winter, the number of refugees has increased, and many places have opened warehouses to release food."

"As a courtier, the salary of eating the king should have prevented it before it happens, but now you say you didn't expect it?"

Shen Zhi's voice was not loud, but in this huge palace, it seemed extremely cold.

"The minister deserves to die, the minister deserves to die."

Jing Zhaoyin Liu Qisheng's legs trembled and he fell to his knees.

Shen Zhi stared at Jing Zhaoyin, who was kneeling on the ground tremblingly, without saying a word.

At this time, Lin Pingkang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stepped forward and said: "I have doubts."

"Say." Shen Zhi said coldly.

"Kyoto is at the foot of the emperor. Even if you want to steal or rob, you should not choose the city of Kyoto. This minister thinks this is quite strange." Lin Pingkang said.

"What do you think, Doctor Yushi?" Shen Zhi asked.

Wu An didn't expect that the regent would suddenly point to him, and he was a little flustered for a while.

"Chenchen thinks that Lin Shangshu is worrying too much. There are no rules for refugees to do things."

"Where's the prime minister?" Shen Zhi continued to ask, "As the head of all officials, what's your opinion on this matter?"

"Kyoto is rich, even begging will not starve to death, I think there is nothing hidden in it."

Prime Minister Yao Bosong replied calmly.

"Really?" Shen Zhi glanced at the court ministers, and finally said, "Master Sun, tell me."

Sun Binghuai replied: "I have checked, and the influx of refugees in Kyoto is caused by the congee given by the Prime Minister's lady."

"Giving porridge is a good intention, what does Master Sun mean by this?" Wu An retorted.

"It's good intentions to give porridge, but I prefer to do bad things." Sun Binghuai replied unceremoniously.

"It's normal for refugees to be hungry. They came to Kyoto hungry and hungry, just for that bowl of porridge. Unexpectedly, what they waited for was the news that the porridge donation from the Prime Minister's Mansion had ended."

Sun Binghuai continued: "Hope is shattered, so burning, killing, and looting are naturally out of the question."

"Miss Prime Minister's Mansion is a woman, how can I understand this, Mr. Sun's words are serious." Wu An said.

"Miss Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't understand, doesn't the Prime Minister also understand?" Sun Binghuai said, "If something happens now, it is the Prime Minister's dereliction of duty."

Sun Binghuai pointed at the prime minister every sentence, and the prime minister's face slowly sank.

"I'm guilty." Prime Minister Yao said proactively.

He knew that Shen Zhi came prepared for this matter, but he did not expect that Sun Binghuai would join the Regent's command so soon.

I didn't know he was so eloquent before, he really is a dog that can bite people but don't bark!
"Since the prime minister knows that he is guilty, he should be punished. As for the punishment, it is up to His Majesty to decide." Shen Zhi said.

"The prime minister is a role model for all officials. If I punish him lightly, I am afraid that some people will say that I am partial to the prime minister."

Gu Yunchen thought for a moment and said: "Since the matter of refugees started from the prime minister's residence, then the prime minister's residence will handle it."

"The lady of the prime minister's mansion is kind and loves to give porridge, so let's keep giving it away, and we will discuss it after the people have passed the New Year in peace."

Gu Yunchen continued: "As for the punishment, the prime minister will be fined for one year's salary first, to serve as a warning to others, and it can be used as a handout."

"Think twice, Your Majesty, once the porridge starts, the refugees will only gather more and more," Wu An said.

"Then what does Wu Aiqing think? Do you want me to drive them all out of Beijing?"

Gu Yunchen continued: "Refugees have frequently suppressed riots since ancient times. Wu Aiqing is afraid that my position will be secured, isn't she?"

"I dare not."

Wu An didn't dare to say any more, and quickly bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"The number of refugees is limited, and they donate porridge in many places at the same time. I don't think they will gather in a large area." Lin Pingkang said at the right time.

"What Lin Shangshu said is reasonable." Sun Binghuai agreed.

"Since this is the case, there is no need to discuss this matter again."

After Gu Yunchen finished speaking, he continued:
"The censor has the duty to supervise all officials, but he failed to find that the prime minister's office was negligent, so he should be punished."

"Just half a year's salary is fined, and a small punishment is a big punishment." Gu Yunchen said.

"Yes. The minister leads the order."

Wu An felt aggrieved. Miss Prime Minister gave porridge to attract refugees, and this could actually be punished on his head.

But now that even the prime minister has been punished, he can't tell even if he suffers, so he can only admit that he is unlucky.

"As for Jing Zhaoyin, he neglected his duty and stripped off his official uniform, so he won't use it for the time being." Gu Yunchen said.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't expect that the little emperor would directly dismiss him because of this incident, and suddenly became flustered.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me."

"I didn't do anything, and I didn't report it. I didn't take your head, so I was extra merciful." Gu Yunchen said coldly.

Until he retired from the court, Liu Qisheng did not want to believe that the little emperor dismissed him so easily.

"Brother-in-law, you can't ignore me." Liu Qisheng trotted up to the Prime Minister and said.

"You're stupid, who's to blame!" the prime minister said with a bad face.

"You can't say that. If my niece hadn't gone to give out porridge, I wouldn't have been dismissed." Liu Qisheng said unconvinced.

Speaking of this, Prime Minister Yao's face darkened even more.

In the past six months, her mother and daughter have never given him peace of mind.

He was just a little careless, and they broke into such a disaster again.

Now that the little emperor is killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, and has directly dismissed Liu Qisheng from his post, I'm afraid that some people in the court will be moved again.

"You go back to your residence first. I will arrange for a suitable position." Prime Minister Yao said impatiently.

"Thank you brother-in-law."

Liu Qisheng got the promise and left happily.

"Now Lin Shangshu and Sun Binghuai have voted for the Regent, the situation is very unfavorable to us, we should proceed carefully." Li Wenzhong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, said.

What a transparent person the prime minister is, he naturally knew that Li Wenzhong was already dissatisfied.

"What Li Shangshu said is reasonable, this time I was careless."

Now is the time when Prime Minister Yao is employing people, so naturally he won't give up on him just because of such a trivial matter.

Being able to bend and stretch has always been a great quality of Prime Minister Yao.

"I don't mean to blame the prime minister, but it's better to be cautious at all times." Li Wenzhong explained.

"It's okay," Prime Minister Yao asked, "What happened to what I told you to do last time?"

"Prime Minister, don't worry, everything is going well. The people have been delivered, and the fish has been hooked." Li Wenzhong said.

"Good job." Prime Minister Yao praised.

Then he looked at Wu An who was on the side: "The rest is all up to Mr. Wu."

"Prime Minister, don't worry, I will do my best." Wu An said.

Prime Minister Yao patted the shoulders of the two of them and said, "I'm sure I can rest assured that you two are doing business."
