The wild Taoist and Wen Xunpeng and other talents came in and just bowed.
Su Ziji sat back, glanced at him, and said, "Everyone, please sit down. Let's discuss the emperor's affairs first this time."
He was talking about the news he had just received from his wife in the palace. The emperor wanted to leave the investigation of the granary to Su Ziji, his grandson.
Wen Xunpeng held up his hand and spoke first: "Lord, the granary matter seems to be necessary to be rectified, but it is actually a big trap. In the past generations, the granary inspections have always hidden the root of the disaster."
"Lord, do you still remember the case of Li Jinhuai from the previous court?"
Su Ziji frowned. He heard Bo Ji and immediately thought that this was during the Wei Dynasty. Disaster relief food disappeared and the emperor ordered a thorough investigation.
At that time, Li Jinhuai, from the third rank, was only in his thirties, and he came from a good background. He was an official. He had the ability and the backing, so he took this job seriously.
He also felt that this was a big deal. Once there was famine or rebellion, and there was no food, how would the court use troops to help the people? They scrutinized it with determination, and as a result, 56 officials were implicated and were killed. At that time, they were praised by the emperor.
As a result, three years later, Li Jinhuai was found guilty and impeached by the eleventh official. As a result, he committed suicide by drinking poison.
"...Not only in the previous dynasty, but also thirteen years ago, there was such a case. It was also related to the granary. The person responsible was a descendant of the noble family. It turned out that he did not believe in evil and wanted to continue the investigation. Not only was it not investigated, but also because he was arrested during the investigation. I read a few books on ginseng, and was eventually transferred to the border guard. I stayed there for seven years before being transferred back, and I never dared to be honest again."
Wen Xunpeng reminded: "Your Highness, this matter is a big trap!"
Su Ziji couldn't help but shook his head when he heard that the man was transferred to the border defense eleven years ago and sat on the bench.
Such things happened one after another. Would the emperor not know what was going on?
But they still mobilized people for border defense. This shows how difficult this matter is, and even the emperor doesn't want to touch it.
The wild Taoist said in a deep voice: "This is true, but without investigation, the emperor can say that the lord is complicit with them, and then he can justifiably accuse the lord."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly fell silent.
It can no longer be said that this is possible. If there is no investigation, the emperor will definitely accuse him like this. Everyone is a little confused about what to choose, and they all look at the lord sitting in the middle.
In any case, how to do this still depends on the Lord's wishes.
Whether checking or not checking, there are dangers.
"It doesn't matter, we'll just wait for the emperor to take action." It was Su Ziji who broke the deadlock. He had already figured out the matter when everyone looked over. He said this with a calm expression, as if such a difficult problem was not easy to solve at all. care.
He looked weird for a moment and sighed: "We only knew about this in advance because of the Queen's notification. In fact, this matter is still brewing - at the beginning of the brewing, we first launched an attack."
"Chai Kejing, the magistrate of Yulin Prefecture, is really unlucky. Just after he went up, 50,000 stones were lost from the grain depot. This time, not only will he be reprimanded for the second time, but he may also be killed to scare the monkeys."
Su Ziji had seen a lot of this kind of thing in the past few years in Beijing, and it was not a pity. Just after saying this, there were rapid footsteps outside, and someone came in.
Su Ziji glanced at it and found that the person who came in was the person responsible for inquiring about intelligence.
"Your Highness, there is information coming from the palace."
Since everyone in the room was one of our own, the person responsible for receiving the information reported the matter immediately and handed over the information carefully.
The wild Taoist took it and handed it to Su Ziji.
Su Ziji unfolded the information and saw that there were only two lines written on the slender piece of paper, but the cause and effect were clearly written, which was related to the matter under discussion!
What a coincidence! Just when I said this, the information came in time!
But looking at this information, Su Ziji's expression became a little weirder. When asked to get down, he handed the note to the wild Taoist first.
After seeing it, the wild Taoist looked a little strange and handed it to a few more people.
After everyone else looked at it, their expressions became weird.
It turned out that the information passed back this time was exactly what the Lord said.
The emperor actually reviewed the situation in the grain depot again, and then became furious and issued an edict. He once again summoned Chai Kejing, the prefect of Yulin Prefecture, and said that corruption has reached this point in the thirty years since the founding of the country. How can it be so great?
Several people present looked at Su Ziji, and Wen Xunpeng couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, everything was as expected by the lord!"
"Princess Xinping, her heart is so sincere!"
Su Ziji also smiled at this time: "The queen and princess fully supported me. They handed over the notes one after another and gave us a lot of time. Let's arrange the situation first. Although I had expected the situation in the granary, it still needs to be solved." Do some research beforehand.”
"Don't be too passive, or you may capsize in the gutter."
He said with emotion, how could the king of a country not make people laugh when he did such a thing just to kill his grandson?
Rights are so cute and scary at the same time.
Su Ziji shook his head and looked at everyone again.
Cen Rubai stood up at this time and asked Su Ziji for orders: "My lord, I am willing to go to investigate the matter of food and grass!"
When the Taisun Mansion was established, there were first two great counselors, Lu Fengyun and Wen Xunpeng, and then there was Zeng Nianzhen, who was leading the army. I gradually became a little bit indifferent, but I was a little unwilling to do so.
Su Ziji also thought it would be a good idea to let Cen Rubai investigate, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you."
"The Emperor is getting more and more impatient, but don't I also want to show off my daggers?"
When the people dispersed, Su Ziji stood up and walked to the steps, looking around. He saw that the night was dark, the drizzle was falling, and in the mist and rain shrouded far and near, he thought that all his arrangements were gradually in place, and he couldn't help but feel sad and happy at the same time. groaned.
Good rain knows the season, when spring is here.
Sneaked into the night wind, moisten things silently.
The wild paths are all dark with clouds, but the river boats are only bright with fire.
Look at the red and wet place at dawn, the flowers are heavy on the official city.
Su Ziji only felt that this poem was particularly suitable for his situation and thoughts at this time.
"In the palace, the queen is already in place."
"The hearts of the people and the people have drifted into the night with the wind."
"The Emperor is originally at the highest level and sees the world like fire, but at this moment, I am afraid that the wild path has become dark with clouds. I wonder if I can succeed and enter this beautiful and beautiful official city?"
Such a battle for imperial power should be frightening, but at this moment, a feeling of excitement arose in my heart.
In this situation of walking on a tightrope, it seems that I am divided into two people. One has a relatively normal reaction, but also a little uneasiness and panic.
And oneself seems to have no fear, not only looking at all this with rational emotions, but also burning with ambition in his chest when in danger.
"When the sea is flowing, a hero can show his true colors."
"The so-called granary matter has been incomprehensible for generations. I can't solve it. I just don't know the symptoms, but I want to explain it to the world."
"Of course, solving this problem is not the goal, let alone important. However, it can be used to build plank roads openly and covertly."
"It's just that although we have tried our best, whether it will succeed or not depends on God's will."
Su Ziji closed his eyes, but he was full of emotions.
