Zhu Biao, who was still thinking about tomorrow's affairs, looked up when he heard this, and saw a beautiful face with a lonely face full of tears, and a pear blossom covered with rain. He couldn't help but wonder: "It's inexplicable. Who said that you are going to be given away?"
Qing Lian choked and said nothing. Zhu Biao looked at her rice bowl to make sure that she was still too full. She still had time to think about things. Logically speaking, a few hungry meals would be enough.
Liu An on the side was also speechless. His Royal Highness's woman will die if she dies. How could she give it to others? Besides, who dares to ask for it? Isn't that a living talisman?
Zhu Biao didn't comfort her, he just drank tea and watched her cry. It must be said that a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman all the time, and Zhu Biao could drink two cups of tea even if she cried.
After she cried until she hiccupped, Zhu Biao promised that he would not give him away and would stay by his side to watch her cry. Now Qinglian cried even more miserably, and Zhu Biao's mood was much better.
It took a while before she was allowed to go back to sleep, and Zhao Huaian brought in a young man in his mid-twenties, who was very impressive and had an unstoppable momentum.
"Tang Shizhong, Commander-in-Chief of the Military Guard Left of the General's Office, is here to see His Highness!"
Zhu Biao was also delighted to see his handsome appearance. To be honest, the military officers and officers all looked ordinary. Even some princes and princes would not look out of place when they put on ordinary people's clothes and went to plow the fields. It was rare to see such handsome men.
Everyone is a fan. History has proven that being handsome has an advantage over being ugly. Who doesn’t like to have a general with a white horse and a silver spear who is unparalleled in the world? It is better than having a loud voice standing next to him shouting that I am the same. The reckless man is relieved.
Of course, it must be that the person is really capable. After all, the silver-like wax gun head can do bad things at critical moments. A reckless person cannot be just a facade, but he is usually really fierce.
However, those who can sit in command of the Fujunwei at this age will not be mediocre. Most of the Fujunwei are from the orphans recruited by Lao Zhu, and they all rely on their own ability to get to the position.
Zhu Biao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Get up without any courtesy. Let me tell you how your journey has been."
"Nuo" Tang Shizhong stood up and stood politely: "The final general was ordered to escort and supervise the imperial envoy Wang Shijian, and let him enforce the law impartially along the way. At the prefectures he passed along the way, he found that local officials were helping the disaster relief and the porridge was missing. Both of them were immediately severely punished. , there were many local officials who tried to bribe, but Wang Shijian reprimanded them and wrote down their names, and the general also brought them."
Zhao Huai'an took the list from Tang Shizhong and handed it to Zhu Biao. The official positions recorded on it were generally low-level, which was normal. No one would go into battle in person. They had to send subordinate officials to test it out in advance, and then wait until they were completely qualified. Will be contacted formally.
Wang Shijian seems to have really put his heart into it. After all, he is an old fox who has been in officialdom for many years. He wrote a few names at the end. They should be the leaders of Pingliang Mansion's corruption and perversion of law, that is, the people behind those low-level officials.
After reading it, Zhu Biao asked: "The Holy One ordered that all imperial envoys in the disaster-stricken areas of Shaanxi and Gansu be led by Wang Shijian. Where are those people now?"
Tang Shizhong replied: "They are all in Pingliang Fucheng, following Wang Qinqi every day to excuse the disaster relief officials."
Zhu Biao nodded. Not counting Wang Shijian, the imperial court had probably sent four waves of imperial envoys. The earliest one came in March this year to check whether local officials had prepared for disaster relief. The rest were sent to supervise each other. But it seems It seems that they are all in cahoots with each other.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "Where are the disaster relief grains in Pingliang Mansion stored?"
"At the guard station, Wang Qin sent people to count the amount of disaster relief grain allocated by the court immediately after entering the city. The prefect of Pingliang said that he was worried that the victims would not have enough food, so he stored the grain in the guard station. It is safe if there is a garrison to guard it."
"After all, I didn't let you go in to take stock."
"Your Highness is wise. Envoy Wang strongly requested to enter the guard station to count the numbers. The Pingliang magistrate had no choice but to take us to the guard station. However, the commander of the guard station, Dingyuan General Wang Liu, stopped us outside the guard station. He said that no one could enter the guardhouse without the order of the Grand Governor, so Wang Qinqi had no choice but to retreat."
Zhu Biao nodded. After all, Wang Shijian was just a civil servant. Even if there were five thousand guards, he would not dare to order a strong attack on the garrison station set up by the imperial court. This was not surprising.
Tang Shizhong raised his head slightly and said: "Although the garrison at the guard station far exceeds ours, if His Highness is willing, the general dares to issue a military order and can lead the army and guards to attack the guard station within half a day!"
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Of course I believe in you, but half a day's work is enough for them to burn down the food and grass. What's more, in this situation, what's the use of capturing the guard post?"
Tang Shizhong knelt down on one knee: "I will be reckless, please punish me by Your Highness."
Zhu Biao waved his hand: "Your army has been serving as a guard for many years. It's understandable that you want to show off your skills. But everything must be done in a structured way and you can't be reckless."
Tang Shizhong's eyes lit up and he promised loudly that it would be a great opportunity to teach His Highness the Crown Prince such a lesson. As the emperor's guard, it was difficult for the Fujun Guard to have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds. He had basically reached the end of his climb.
Zhu Biao had almost thought about it at this time and ordered Tang Shizhong: "Go back and tell Wang Shijian to continue to put pressure on the officials of Pingliang Mansion. If there is an order from the Holy Emperor, why should you worry about it? Kill him if you need to."
Tang Shizhong accepted the promise and retreated, and Zhu Biao also turned around and went back to his tent to rest. The news of Chen Yunze's identity should have been passed on to him by Zhang Heng. It shouldn't be difficult to enter the city tomorrow. Who doesn't want to hug Donggong's lap?
The greater the pressure from Wang Shijian, the more eager those officials will be to find a backer. After all, the imperial envoys only need to report to impeach them. Even if there is no conclusive evidence, according to the temperament of the current emperor, they will be killed. But there is no such thing. What's the point?
And they also know that the only people in the world who can persuade the Holy One today are the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince, but even the Beijing officials have little chance to contact these two people, let alone local officials like them.
What's more, according to the rumors of the Empress and the Crown Prince, these two are saints without desires and there is nothing they can do. But I didn't expect that the rumors were just rumors after all, and the Crown Prince was also interested in the benefits of selling food. .
This really moved them. They are not afraid that you like something, but that you don’t like anything. The prince wants to make money and recruit orphans. Okay, they are all satisfied. They just hope that His Highness can say a few words in front of the Holy Master. To be fair, don't let honest officials like them suffer unjustly.
What's more, if the Crown Prince is involved, I'm afraid the Holy Emperor won't pursue it any further. The dignity and reputation of His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, is far more important than the lives and deaths of a group of disaster victims.
Zhu Biao thought for a while and determined that the treatment he would receive after entering the city tomorrow would be much better than that in Qingyang Mansion. After all, Qingyang Mansion did not have Wang Shijian to exert pressure.
