After hearing what Li Yansong said made sense, Emperor Jing's mood improved a lot.
I couldn't help but praise: "What Master Li said is very reasonable!"
Yang Yingcai looked at Li Yansong with a frown, feeling a little confused.
Logically speaking, you, Mr. Li Ge, and Baiguan should have a tacit understanding.
It's not impossible to provide relief for work, but don't you know how risky it is to implement it on such a large scale?
At your age, Mr. Li Ge, don’t you even care about your reputation?
Yang Yingcai gritted his teeth and kowtowed, raised his head and said, "Your Majesty! I think what Mr. Li said is too taken for granted!"
"The local government already has no money and no food. Now that an edict is issued, local officials will do whatever they can to achieve their goals."
"But there is no food at all! Should the government force the local wealthy households to hand over their money and food?"
"This is the government forcing the people to rebel! And the rebels are local gentry! If this continues, it will shake the country's foundation!"
"Does your Majesty think that the local gentry will obediently use their money to build fortifications for the imperial court?"
"This is simply a fantasy!"
"So! I ask your Majesty to take back your order! The best way to issue another edict is to stabilize food prices!"
"Please take back your Majesty's orders!!" A large group of officials knelt on the ground and shouted again.
The good mood that just arose was completely washed away at this moment.
Hey, do you want to change my imperial edict as soon as you want?
If I change it today, will I be ordered to punish myself tomorrow?
If orders are changed in the morning and evening, how will the people of the world view me, and how will the royal family retain its face!
The hall fell into silence for a moment.
Suddenly a young eunuch ran up to Guo Tianyang and whispered a few words.
Guo Tianyang's whole body was filled with excitement! He quickly bowed his head to Emperor Jing's side.
Emperor Jing also looked surprised after hearing this. He waved his hand and Guo Tianyang quietly left from the side.
He trotted outside the hall and immediately saw the disgraced Liu Jin.
He said angrily: "You bastard! You still know how to come back! Why don't you die outside!"
When Liu Jin saw him coming, he quickly took out a letter from his sleeve and said pitifully: "Godfather... This is the letter Master Fang asked me to give you. It says it's important. You'll understand it as soon as you see it."
Guo Tianyang hurriedly grabbed the letter, opened it and saw a piece of paper inside.
Read it carefully.
I broke out in a cold sweat while reading... The contents here are more shocking than the last!
Fang Zhengyi, who is so stubborn, really can't stay idle anywhere.
You have to hurry...present it to His Majesty quickly!
Guo Tianyang looked up at Liu Jin, his eyes already bloodshot, and said hurriedly: "Go back, our family is still busy, don't talk too much when others ask you!"
After saying that, he hurriedly ran back to the palace.
He walked up to Emperor Jing, placed the letter on the imperial desk, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Fang Zhengyi's letter contains something important!"
Emperor Jing was shocked, picked up the letter and started reading.
After looking at the first picture, my brows suddenly widened, and then I quickly flipped to the second picture.
It didn't matter. Emperor Jing's heart beat rapidly, and anger began to brew in his chest.
After reading it twice, I turned to the third one.
After just a brief glance, he leaned on the dragon chair as if he was out of strength.
He sighed and said, "Guo Tianyang, read the contents of this letter to my group of loyal ministers!"
"Look at how far our officials from Dajing have reached!!"
"This is a letter from Fang Zhengyi from Jianjiang. You all... listen to me carefully! Listen carefully!"
The officials' expressions changed and they all looked at Emperor Jing.
There was only one thought in everyone's mind.
Jianjiang, something big happened!
Guo Tianyang was also in a daze, and his heart was full of worries.
Liu Jin is back. His cooperation with the prince will not be exposed, right? If His Majesty finds out, will I not finish the game?
Hearing Emperor Jing's words, he absentmindedly took the letter and sorted it out, then started reading.
"Dear Your Majesty, long time no see, how is your appetite recently? I am not doing well, I cannot see you, and I don't think about food and food every day... There was once a sincere love between the king and the minister in front of me, but I... I didn't cherish it, and I regret it now that I am in Jianjiang. If I am given another chance to be loyal to His Majesty, I am willing to go to pieces. If I have to add a time limit to this responsibility, I hope it will be ten thousand years. ..."
What are you farting on? ! ?
The minds of the ministers below were buzzing, and then everyone turned black!
Fang Zhengyi is such a bad guy! Damn it, how can you still be disgusting after walking so far? Why doesn't he die?
Besides, are you, Guo Tianyang, confused? Is it appropriate to say this in the main hall? ?
Emperor Jing was leaning on the dragon chair with his eyes closed. He was thinking about Liu Xun's corruption case over and over in his mind and had a headache.
After regaining consciousness, I heard that Guo Tianyang was reading the first page!
Suddenly he became furious: "Shut up! Guo Tianyang! What did I ask you to read!"
Guo Tianyang also came to his senses with a bang in his head, and almost shed tears when he looked at the letter in his eyes.
Gan! Why did you make such a stupid mistake? It's all because of that stupid Fang Zhengyi.
It's over, it's over, His Majesty still doesn't know how to punish himself later.
Guo Tianyang endured the pain, bit the tip of his tongue, refreshed himself, and quickly turned to the next page.
“What I saw when I first arrived in Jianjiang was shocking. Liu Xun, the prefect of Jianjiang, was corrupt and perverted the law. He took advantage of disasters to make money. He had a crooked mind, went astray, made mistakes and derelict in his duties, and could not escape his responsibility. He made mistakes in judgment, mishandling, and improper responses. Shifting the blame, provoking confrontation, robbing supplies, taking advantage of others, being angry with both humans and gods, being obsessed with ghosts, spreading rumors and smearing, blowing the light, an evil atmosphere! ...The evidence is conclusive!"
All the ministers took a breath, just forget about your flattery!
Why are there so many crooked words?
"Such evil deeds have aroused the resentment of the people. I have publicly exposed these two thieves to vent the people's anger!"
Many people's eyes froze when they heard these two words... This, the prefect of Jianjiang was beheaded by you, Fangzheng?
Even the process is saved! Didn't you even report it to the court?
How dare you be so arrogant when you get to the local level! Even if your uncle is Mr. Li, he doesn’t do things like this!
Fang Zhengyi, you are a cruel person! !
"Let's talk about the food disaster in Jianjiang. The court has repeatedly issued orders that private food prices should not rise."
"But soaring food prices have become an indisputable fact, and there are policies and countermeasures."
"Although the rice shops still sell rice at a fair price, most of the shops deliver the rice to their doorsteps. Then when they deliver the rice, they claim that the shoes are worn out, and then charge an additional fee for wear and tear. People call it "shoe money" to make up for the loss in rice price. .”
"There are even rice shops selling grain in the name of rice washing, and then charging "rice washing gold". If it is not washed, there will be no grain to sell!"
"There are all kinds of things like this! There are many ways for the people to deal with the imperial government's measures to suppress food prices, and it is impossible to prevent them."
"I believe that the rise and fall of food prices has its own rules and the rules cannot be violated!"
"The imperial edict has been reduced to useless paper. I hope the princes in the court will find other ways to deal with it!"
