Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 465: These words are very good for retreating from the court

inside the hall,

The silence was terrifying, and the officials from various departments in the capital looked over eagerly, as if they were praying.

See the expectant looks in everyone's eyes.

Zhang Jinyu felt uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't expect that this thing, which only cost a grain of rice, would be so popular. She had to bite the bullet and replied,
"Returning to Your Majesty, I feel that the so-called rain and dew are shared equally, every bit is the kindness of the emperor. Therefore, I feel that all ministries and officials serving in Beijing have the opportunity to calculate how many grain orders are needed, and distribute them equally to each ministry based on the number of people. This will not only give everyone a chance, but also allow the favor to be evenly distributed."

Once the words are finished,

The eyes of the people on the civil service side lit up, what a good idea.
"Your Majesty, I think what Marquis Luo Yun said is true."

"Your Majesty, I agree with what Marquis Luo Yun said."

"His Majesty."

Seeing the support from all the officials in the palace, Emperor Wu was naturally smiling.

"Okay, since all the ministers think it is a good idea, the matter has been settled. However, I have something to say first. The official warehouses of all counties and cities are the top priority. You must be careful. I am specially gracious. All the officials and warehouses of the counties and cities are All orders can be submitted directly to me in secret form, and they will be approved directly by the imperial study room."

After speaking, he waved his hand,

Dai Quan immediately walked up to the front desk and shouted,
"Everything is done, retreat from the court!"

Then,

Accompanying Emperor Wu Zhou Shihong, he left Qianqing Palace with a large number of servants.

The remaining officials from the capital were excitedly discussing how to divide the quotas among the counties and cities. Only a few cabinet elders looked at the emperor's leaving figure with grimaces and disbelief.

How come at the last moment, there is such a saying, the authority to secretly rule, this is to bypass the cabinet. Could it be that the emperor has noticed it? Lu Wenshan, the official minister, has a gloomy face. He can't steal the chicken but lose the rice. The students behind him Zeng Zheng came over and asked,
"Teacher, I'm afraid this is troublesome. According to His Majesty's words, you can actually write a secret code and hand it directly into the imperial study. I'm afraid you have bypassed the cabinet. What should I do?"

"What can we do? The matter has been decided. You and Su Chong are going to prepare for the teacher to arrange for you to be the grain commander. Since you can't stop it, then add it. The key node, the land south of Jingnan, still needs you. Cover.”

Lu Wenshan eagerly thought of this method. Since this method has been finalized and cannot be changed, the matter in Jingnan is imminent. There are two methods, one is to delay, but it cannot be delayed for long, and the second is to send his own people to Jingnan to ensure that Foolproof.

"Yes, teacher, the students understand that the people in the household department above the court are afraid that they will be on guard. Moreover, teacher, can Jingnan really suppress it? In fact, the students are also worried about Mr. Gu Ge. The southern land has a large population and is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. If, if, it really causes a catastrophe, the White Lotus Sect may really suffer. Even if there is no White Lotus Sect, there is still a Taiping Sect in the south."

Zeng Ze stood behind him. Although he agreed with the teacher's words, he was really worried about the situation in the south of Beijing. There were not only tens of thousands of rioters, but perhaps millions of people. It would be difficult for so many people to swarm up at that time. Although he was also I don’t understand military strategy, but I also know the principle of being outnumbered when the enemy is outnumbered.

"Teacher, what Zeng Ze said is also what the students think. Although General Gu is brave, he can't fight with both hands with one punch. He is afraid that he will fall into a chaotic situation and be tired of dealing with it. When the time comes, he will be trapped in the chaotic army. I'm afraid it will be difficult. Well, people from the Wang family are involved in the matter in Jingnan, so the teacher still needs to send a message to Prince Teng, the governor of the Jingying camp."

Su Chong also agreed with what Zeng Ze said. If the matter is not resolved, it will be worried for a day. As long as Prince Teng, the governor of the Beijing Camp, is willing to come forward, many things will be solved.

But Lu Wenshan shook his head, thinking of that Wang Ziteng, but he had a sense of rejection. This man was very calculating, and he was not a person who cared about family ties. He used his two sisters and nieces to marry, how could he think of those things? Distant relatives, that is, officials who coax the people below.

"This matter will be discussed later. Go back and send a message to those people to open warehouses and stock up on food. Wait a minute. Gu Ping has [-] elites in his hands. There is no one to stop him in the south of Beijing. As long as the siege of Lin Yue Mansion is solved, the world will be peaceful. ,"

"Teacher, then, what if it fails."

Seeing this, Zeng Ze had no choice but to ask. Lu Wenshan closed his eyes and replied,
"Go back and take care of the situation. If it doesn't work, there will be another chaos in southern Jingnan. The capital will definitely send reinforcements to quell the chaos. That is the worst plan. Go back and prepare."

"is teacher."

The two said goodbye, knowing that the teacher was not sure of winning, and couldn't help but feel a shadow in their hearts.

Just when the courtiers turned around and walked out of the hall to go back to the palace to rest, Gu Yichen, the Minister of Household Affairs, shouted in the hall,
"Marquis Luo Yun, today the household department accepts the love of the marquis." Only Zhang Jinyu curled her lips, looked at the energetic faces of Mr. Gu Ge and Shen Shilang, and replied helplessly,
"I don't discuss national policy based on friendship. I am loyal to the court and the emperor. Naturally, I understand the importance. I will not say thank you for this matter. Mr. Gu Ge and Minister Shen must have a lot to do for you, so I will not delay and take my leave. ."

Without waiting for others to say anything, he turned around and left. As soon as he arrived in front of the door, he saw the Minister of Civil Affairs. He had also just arrived outside the palace. He stopped towards the Marquis and bowed his hands.
"Master Marquis, I have just learned about Master Hou's talent today. I admire you from the bottom of my heart. Master Marquis sometimes cannot look at the surface. Those who are as loyal as traitors may not be unloyal. Therefore, Master Hou, don't be in a hurry to end everything. Watch more and listen more."

Zhang Jinyu was also angry, and the civil servant didn't know whether it was because he was trying to appear knowledgeable or pretending to be profound, and he always talked in a roundabout way, which was tiring.

"Master Lu, I am young and I can't tell the difference between superficial loyalty and treachery. But I understand a truth. The so-called loyalty lies not in words, but in actions. In addition, Master Lu, a loyal person, I am a loyal person. Hou believes that he is loyal on the surface, and there are some family matters at home, so I will say goodbye."

After saying that, he really left this time. Not far ahead, he saw his father-in-law Qin Ye waiting for him. He ran away regardless of whether Lu Wenshan had anything to say or not.

"Master Hou, wait a moment"

Lu Wenshan was left a little dumbfounded. Before he could finish his words, Marquis Luo Yun ran away, and all his attempts to test the situation were in vain.

"Lord Lu, don't waste your efforts. I'm afraid that using the civil servants' tactics on honorable nobles is in the wrong place. I didn't want to get involved in your affairs, but I absolutely shouldn't. You actually took advantage of the Ministry of Household Affairs. , It has shaken the foundation of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Although I am kind-hearted, I will never stand idly by in such a situation."

Just when Lu Wenshan was still thinking, Gu Yichen's words came from behind him. Before he could turn around, Gu Yichen also led people out of the hall, leaving the remaining officials with ugly expressions.

"Huh, let's see!"

"Father-in-law, please forgive me, father-in-law. I was delayed on some things. I was busy for a while and didn't go to the house to visit my father-in-law. It's really my son-in-law's fault."

Zhang Jinyu ran to Qin Ye's side and apologized to Qin Ye without even breathing.

It has been some time since I returned to the capital, and I have been busy with my own affairs and have not taken the time to go to the Qin Mansion. Qin Keqing was still thinking about going back to see it yesterday.

Qin Ye touched his beard and took a closer look at Marquis Luo Yun. He was quite pleased that he had grown stronger.
"What are you talking about? I am an old man living a comfortable life, so why do I need you to come and greet me? The Marquis has just come to the capital, and everything is difficult at the beginning. I need you to think carefully at all times. I don't have time to spend time with the old man. It's a waste of time."

Seeing this, Zhang Jinyu looked even more ashamed and reached out to hold Qin Ye's hand.
"Father-in-law, it's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Today, my son-in-law will have a good meal with his father-in-law. As for the wine, forget it, but you have told me that my father-in-law will not drink any alcohol from now on."

Qin Ye had no choice but to agree half-heartedly, but there was no wine, which meant the taste was bad. He wanted to discuss whether he could have another drink, but there were many court officials around, so it was difficult to say more.

"Where is the good son-in-law going?"

"Father-in-law, it's certainly a good place. Don't mention it. Last time I went there, my son-in-law left without having enough to eat. It's such a pity. I will definitely go back and try it again today."

What Zhang Jinyu was talking about was of course the Youlai Restaurant in the west of the capital, at the foot of Yunshan Mountain and next to Qiu Lake. The environment was good and the food was good. Naturally, she wanted to go there again. When she saw her father-in-law's curious face, she pulled Qin Ye along. He left the palace in a hurry.

Hubu Pavilion Hall,

Gu Yichen led officials of all sizes from the Ministry of Household Affairs here and asked them all to verify the amount of grain and grass in the official warehouses of various counties and cities. Then he went to Shen Zhongxin alone to explain.
"Ziyu, although the court has been muddled now, the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue has not been resolved. Not to mention the various counties and cities, it is a matter of the capital. The fire in the official warehouse cannot be ignored. You must get to the bottom of it, and We need to recover the grain in these granaries, the grain stored in 11 large granaries, which is 20 shi of grain. As long as it is replenished, the board of the Ministry of Households can fall heavily and be beaten lightly."

"Yes, teacher, the student will go to the prison to interrogate Cui Dehai to see how dark his heart is. He has read the book of sages."

Shen Zhongxin had a look of resentment on his face. He couldn't bear to see these people tarnishing the teachings of saints. After saying this, he was about to leave, but then he was grabbed by Gu Shangshu.
"Ziyu, don't be impatient. They are the ones who are impatient. This matter involves a lot. Even people from the Imperial City Department have to deal with it. This matter also needs the protection of Marquis Luo Yun. Without him, I'm afraid it won't be possible to investigate. Therefore, be sure to ask for help." Ask the Marquis about whether you should kill him or not. The emperor must know everything about what you have done. Think twice before doing anything."

Shen Zhongxin turned around and nodded vigorously, showing no fear.
"I understand, teacher, students understand, let's go."

Gu Yichen walked out of the ministry with a determined look on his face. Only Gu Yichen sighed. He understood that now the civil service was divided, and the crony and township party had finally pierced the last layer of window paper. Lu Wenshan, the official minister, acted like this because of the gathering behind him. There were many civil servants from Jiangnan. If Marquis Luo Yun had not spoken out to disrupt the situation today, the Ministry of Revenue would not have been able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty. Even if he was not guilty, he would still be stained, let alone Zi Yu's position as minister.

But why did Lu Wenshan do this? Is it because of the position of chief assistant? After thinking about it, this is the only thing that can interest him. But what the court did today, he was still too impatient. First of all, the emperor would not agree. seat, I'm afraid his seat will be lost.

However, thinking about today, Li Chonghou, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has never said anything. Is it true that he wants to retire and return to his hometown? But when he thinks that Li Chonghou has remained standing all these years, Gu Yichen frowns, and the storm is about to come.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew into the hall, blowing away the papers in the room. It was cold and desolate.
