From the time of the attack to the present, the Chu King's Party has been taking the initiative, but has not achieved any results. First, it is Yang Qingyuan's careful layout in advance. Second, it is the failure of the Chu King's Party and the Xungui Group to work together. Third, it is the politics of the person who takes action. The level is indeed average.
Yang Qingyuan had calculated almost all the moves of the King of Chu Party and the Xungui Group, and arranged corresponding countermeasures. He would eliminate and attack at once, and take advantage of their own strength to make all offensives invisible.
From this perspective, there is no doubt that Yang Qingyuan is the direct descendant of Wudang.
Although the situation is excellent, Yang Qingyuan also needs to respond positively to the questions raised by Tang Li and Kong Qinli.
"Your Majesty, I have this memorial!" Yang Qingyuan took out the first memorial.
Cao Zhengchun walked to Yang Qingyuan, took the memorial, and handed it to Emperor Zhou.
When Emperor Zhou opened the memorial, Cao Zhengchun seemed to see the corners of his mouth twitch slightly. He didn't know what Yang Qingyuan wrote in the memorial, which made Emperor Zhou lose control of his expression control again.
"Report on Supplementary Grain and Grass Transportation in Gyeonggi Province on Disaster Relief and Relief Work in Jizhou", when Emperor Zhou saw the title, he saw a strong personal style of Yang Qingyuan.
Putting aside this detailed but strange title, Emperor Zhou looked down. Although there was no change in the expression, Cao Zhengchun, as Emperor Zhou's personal attendant, could clearly feel the change in Emperor Zhou's mood.
When Emperor Zhou read to the end, Emperor Zhou failed to manage his expression for the third time today.
In the memorial, Yang Qingyuan briefly described the progress of the current granary case, and then briefly stated the grain and grass that had been raised so far. One hundred and seventy-three thousand shi were obtained from the seizure of the water transport terminal, and a total of 220,000 shi was obtained from the seizure of the granary in the city. It has reached nearly 400,000 dan, which is one-third more than the 300,000 dan promised by Yang Qingyuan that day. This has greatly alleviated the food crisis in Jizhou. Although it has not been eliminated, it is an undoubted achievement.
Based on this, 400,000 shi of food have been distributed. No matter how outrageous Yang Qingyuan's behavior is today, he will not be punished.
"I am already clear about the sealing of the water transport terminal and Anjia warehouse. I have previously granted Yang Qing the arbitrary power to thoroughly investigate the water transport. The seizure is not beyond my authority. I already know all the reasons! No need to discuss it further!"
Emperor Zhou has reached a conclusion on this matter, and the offensives of the Chu King's Party, Xungui Group and Anjia have completely lost their effectiveness at this moment.
At the end of the first round, Yang Qingyuan was victorious.
In the Hanyuan Palace, various forces continued to take action.
In the Hanyuan Hall, officials from the seventh to fifth grades who were not in the Chang Dynasty watched with gusto.
It's rare to see such tit-for-tat confrontations between the imperial court bosses during the reign of emperors. Although we know that it may affect ourselves, it is human nature to take advantage of others.
Just when everyone was eating melon with peace of mind, a discordant figure stood up and said loudly, "Liu Jibai, the chief secretary of the Water Transport Department, has this memorial!"
Yes, the previous job was only for sealing, and a dog could do it for people like Liu Jibai.
Liu Jibai's loud words made the Hanyuan Hall, which was originally slightly noisy, quiet again. Most of the people stood in surprise at the seventh-grade anchor who was almost standing outside the hall. This should be the moment. It is the lowest official rank in Hanyuan Palace.
A group of gods are fighting in front of you. Why are you, a seventh-grade official, getting involved?
I turned around and saw, oh! Liu Jibai, the famous dandy in the capital, is fine!
Who made my father the Minister of Etiquette? ?
Emperor Zhou squinted his eyes and looked, and found that he was standing too far away. Cao Zhengchun knew what Emperor Zhou meant at a glance, and stood aside and said, "Liu Jibai, the chief secretary of the Water Transport Department, came to the palace to make a speech!"
I have to say that although Liu Jibai is uneducated and dandy, his appearance is still good!
"Liu Jibai, the chief clerk of the Water Transport Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is here to see my emperor!"
Liu Jibai had obviously received strict etiquette training. From his steps to his salutes, his standards were such that even Qian Muqian, the Minister of Etiquette, could not find any flaws. People who knew the inside story turned their attention to Liu Bin, the Minister of Etiquette who was standing in the queue. .
Liu Bin is not involved in party strife. He is a standard scholar. He likes poetry, romance, and gourmet food. No one expected that he would intervene today.
Is this Liu Jibai's own behavior? ! Has nothing to do with Liu Bin? !
Who here doesn't know who Liu Jibai is? ! How could a playboy participate in court disputes without fear of having his legs broken by Liu Bin and being imprisoned in the ancestral temple?
"Master Liu!? What do you want to say?!"
Emperor Zhou had heard of Liu Jibai. Liu Bin had a son in his old age and was extremely fond of him. He also thought of many ways in the court for his son.
"Your Majesty, there were many fallacies in my review of water transportation taxation the day before yesterday!?" Liu Jibai took out a memorial from his sleeve as he spoke.
"I have checked the accounts in the past few days and found that since the day when the Water Transport Department established the Yamen, all shipping involving Pengchengbo, Anjibo, and Wei County counties will be verified by the Water Transport Department Headquarters of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and never I was inspected by the government office dispatched by the Water Transport Department. I have requested re-examination many times, but all requests were rejected!"
"Then the water transport envoy Mr. Yang seized the capital's water transport. I borrowed the inspection records from the pass. After comparing the two, I found that there were discrepancies in both the number of ships and the weight of the cargo. I sincerely request your majesty to thoroughly investigate the water transport of the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
Things that Yang Qingyuan didn't mention were brought up by a seventh-grade clerk of the Water Transport Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This was completely unexpected by the Xungui Group.
Liu Jibai's suggestion was like poking a hornet's nest.
Anji Bo Fulie was the first to stand up and scolded, "How can we allow you, a seventh-grade chief registrar, to talk nonsense in this important place of the court? Your Majesty, please kill this thief so that we can set the record straight!"
"Your Majesty, a mere seventh-rank official dares to slander Shangguan. Please expel this person!"
Zhao Lin, a member of the household department, immediately took up the pace of scolding.
Subsequently, a group of nobles led by Peng Chengbo and Wei County County Prince came out one after another, and people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Department of General Affairs also continued to second their opinions.
In the end, even generals from the imperial camp in Beijing came out to ask Liu Jibai to be executed.
Liu Jibai, a playboy, had never seen such a scene before, and his face turned pale with fright.
But fortunately, although Liu Jibai was a playboy, he had a strong psychological quality. At the critical moment, he still remembered what Yang Qingyuan had taught him, and immediately knelt down and shouted loudly on the ground.
"Your Majesty, it is a fact that the water transportation was wrong. However, the ministers were so angry that they wanted to kill the minister and then killed him. In fact, there were traitors in the court who formed a clique. Uncle Anji and Uncle Pengcheng were the main conspirators, and the generals in the Beijing camp were their wings. Someone is working for me, and I have risked my life to report it to Your Majesty. Please take a closer look!"
In an instant, there was complete silence in Hanyuan Hall, and you could hear a pin drop.
It was as if the turbulent crowd just now was just an illusion. Everyone was silent. In particular, people like Peng Chengbo, An Jibo, and Hubu Yuanwailang, who had been dancing more happily just now, were trying their best to reduce their sense of existence.
Truly, as silent as the night!
Liu Jibai's words are too serious. Forming a party privately is a capital crime in the country! !
