Fu Wan listened to Liu Bian's questions and said: "Judging from the investigation report, the suspicion is very high."
He was not involved in the case and said it very easily, but he couldn't stand the sun and was sweating.
Liu Bian glanced at the memorial again, with cold eyes and rapid calculations in his mind.
The 'New Deal' has been implemented for nearly a year, and autumn grain is an important node for him to test the results!
No one can destroy it!
"check!"
Liu Bian raised his head and looked at Fu Wan, and said in a deep voice: "Yushitai, Xingcao, and Hucao will investigate separately. Check it out for me as soon as possible!"
"I accept the order!" After laying down, Xun Yu quickly raised his hand and said.
Liu Bian was still worried and said: "As for the autumn tax, Hucao must carefully make overall plans. I want to see real food put into the warehouse!"
Xun Yu's old face looked more serious and said: "I accept the decree!"
Liu Bian took a deep breath, waved his hand and said, "You go ahead."
After saying that, he strode out of the palace.
When Liu Bian walked away, Xun Yu and Fu Wan put down their hands.
Fu Wan, who originally thought it had nothing to do with him, realized the seriousness of the matter. He looked at Xun Yu with a smile and asked tentatively: "Xun Shangshu, what do you think of this matter?"
Xun Yu looked at Fu Wan, was quiet for a while, and said, "Zhongcheng, is this the only impeachment memorial?"
Fu Wan was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said, "I was confused. I'll go back and check it out right now."
Seeing that Fu Wan was walking in a hurry, Xun Yu frowned slightly and imperceptibly.
He had a clear hunch that this was something unusual!
Liu Bian left the palace and went straight to the Huangmen North Temple Prison.
With an expressionless face, he entered the innermost 'secret room', looked at a pile of official documents, memorials, letters, etc., and dismissed the nervous Si Cheng.
Liu Bian looked at the letters, official documents, and memorials one after another, and gradually gained a clear understanding of the situation in Jing, Yang, and Jiaozhi.
"Yan Liang is out too?"
"This Zhang He is indeed not simple."
"How did Yu Jin get to Lujiang..."
"Shi Xie is the prefect of Jiaozhi... Shi Yi is also the prefect of Hepu, Shi is the prefect of Jiuzhen, and Shi Wu is also the prefect of Nanhai... Good guy, the Shi family occupies four of the nine counties of Jiaozhi..."
"Yuan Shu is recruiting Shi Xie?"
Liu Bian muttered to himself while watching, subconsciously leaned back, and sat back suddenly.
He forgot that this was not his study.
Liu Bian thought carefully for a long time, sorted out these official documents and memorials, sealed them in the alley box again, got up and left.
Pan Yin followed closely, looking at the Huangmen North Temple Prison from the corner of his eye.
This was his first time coming since the Huangmen North Temple Prison was moved outside the palace. The place was dark and gloomy, and the people inside were sneaky, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Liu Bian returned to the palace and went straight to Yong'an Palace.
Tang Ji hadn't woken up yet, and the two little guys were fast asleep. Liu Bian stayed with her until dark, but when he saw that she didn't wake up, he left quietly.
When he came to the study, Liu Bian ate something casually and began to review the memorial. After finishing all processing, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to see that the sky was slightly bright, but he didn't feel sleepy.
After taking a sip of herbal tea to wake up a bit, Liu Bian thought about some of the situations in Jiangdong.
After sitting quietly for a moment, his eyes flashed slightly, he picked up a pen and wrote the word 'Shi Xie' on the paper.
The influence of the Shijia family in Jiaozhi was so great that almost half of it belonged to their Shijia family.
"You should make good use of it..."
Liu Bian leaned on the chair, stroking the jade pendant in his hand, and said, "Xu Yan."
Xu Yan, who was dozing off, suddenly woke up with a start. He quickly stepped forward and said, "The villain is here."
Liu Bian glanced at him and said, "Speak to Zuo Li and tell him to let him know that the imperial court wants to change Jiaozhi to Jiaozhou and Shi Xie to be the governor of Jiaozhou."
"Yes, I'll do it now." Xu Yan responded and quickly turned around and went out.
Liu Bian looked at the word "Shi Xie" written in black and white on the paper. After a while, he turned to the map on the wall beside him and landed on "Julu" in Jizhou.
The stealing behavior of Huangfu Jianchang and Zhao Yun objectively stimulated the Black Mountain Army, and the situation in Jizhou will become more serious.
"Ying Shao, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun..."
Liu Bian stared at the 'Giant Deer' and whispered to himself. Then his eyes moved and landed on Qingzhou. He stared at it for a long time and said softly: "Cao Cao..."
Unknowingly, Cao Cao rapidly grew into a force that cannot be ignored!
In the next three days, Liu Bian either handled government affairs in Jingfu Palace or spent time with his wife and children, and his life was relatively relaxed.
That night, Chen Gong's residence.
Chen Gong, who is in his early thirties, can be said to be very energetic and has done a lot since he took office as the Luoyang order. The evaluation by the government and the public is rare among the Luoyang officials who have a negative reputation.
But at this moment, he was not at all happy. He was sitting in the pavilion in the backyard with a solemn expression, concentrating on editing "Zuo Zhuan".
The weather was hot, and he was sweating more and more on his head, as if he hadn't noticed it, every stroke was meticulous.
"Master." I don't know what time it was, but a servant quietly stepped forward and whispered.
Chen Gong kept writing and asked, "What's going on?"
"Henan Prime Minister Zhao Bi is here," the servant said.
Chen Gong raised his head sharply, then looked at the smeared handwriting, and didn't care, and said quickly: "Please come quickly."
The servant responded and trotted out of the pavilion.
Chen Gong's breathing became rapid, his eyes were cold and stern, and a ruthless look flashed across his face.
Not long after, a middle-aged man in his mid-forties came over led by a servant, his pace was quite urgent.
"I've met Brother Chen." Zhao Bi came closer and raised his hand solemnly.
Chen Gong did not ask for help. After raising his hand, he motioned for him to enter the pavilion and said: "Brother Zhao, please."
Zhao Bi nodded, and the two sat across from each other, but neither of them spoke for a while.
Henan Yin is both a place name and an official name. Henan Yin was originally called Henan County, which consists of Luoyang and Henan counties. Luoyang governs the capital city, and Henan governs the royal city.
Because Luoyang County was within the capital and had a special status, it was difficult for Henan Yin to control it. Therefore, Henan Yin also served as the Sili Xiaowei in the past dynasties.
In terms of official system, Henan Cheng is higher than Luoyang Ling.
Zhao Bi and Chen Gong looked at each other for a while, seeming to have mustered up the courage. His eyes widened and he said: "Brother Chen, after my investigation, the missing five thousand stones of grain should have been embezzled by the breeders. "
Chen Gong was not surprised and asked: "Why did those five thousand stones of grain disappear? Why did Han Bin, the captain of the grain management department, ignore it?"
Zhao Bi struggled, his brows tightened and unclenched repeatedly, and after a while he said: "I don't know the details. Brother Chen, it's better not to pursue it. I can discuss it with Zhongji, and let this matter go. He will no longer impeach you, 豼And don’t get hung up on it.”
Chen Gong had long noticed that Zhao Bi was looking wrong, and his expression gradually became calm, and he said: "I don't believe that Brother Zhao is colluding with them. I guess Brother Zhao also has something to hide. If I don't force Brother Zhao, I will just pretend that Brother Zhao has not been here tonight. "
Zhao Bi looked startled and said quickly: "Brother Chen, isn't it great to be officials in the same dynasty and get along well with each other? You should know that Zhongji was recommended by the Prime Minister and was personally named and placed in Yin, Henan. You can't fight him. .”
Chen Gong shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't understand. It's that Brother Zhao can't see the situation clearly. The Shangshutai, Yushitai, and the two stations are all watching this matter and constantly sending people to investigate. Yesterday I was called into the Shangshutai I've been talking to the station for an hour, do you think this matter will be resolved?"
Zhao Bi looked even more hesitant and hesitated to speak.
It was natural for Chen Gong to be investigated. As Zhong Ji was a Shangguan, the court had no choice but to take action. And similarly, the court will not listen to one-sided words.
The Yushitai, Li Cao, and Xing Cao's people came to Henan Yin one after another. Officials big and small were questioned as many as seven or eight times. This kind of "grand occasion" has not been seen for many years.
Chen Gong looked at him, slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Seeing that Chen Gong had no intention of giving in, Zhao Bi's face changed for a long time, and finally he sighed and said: "That's it. I will tell Brother Chen clearly that the Yellow River is overflowing and there are countless victims. Those five thousand stones have been used for disaster relief." ”
Chen Gong was stunned again and again. He had thought about many possibilities, but never thought of this!
Immediately, he said: "Disaster relief is coordinated by the imperial court. It is a serious crime for the planting department to misappropriate the autumn grain that has not been stored in the warehouse!"
Zhao Bi smiled bitterly and said: "We will wait for the autumn grain to be put into the warehouse, and then allocate it from Taicang. It will take at least a month or two. We can afford to wait, and can the victims of the disaster afford it?"
Chen Gong's expression moved. He wanted to denounce some words, but he couldn't say them out.
Changing places, maybe, he will do the same!
Seeing Chen Gong's agitated expression, Zhao Bi said anxiously: "Brother Chen, this matter ends here, otherwise, the victims will still be the ones suffering. As parents and officials, we cannot sit idly by and ignore it."
Chen Gong frowned and said, "I will check it myself tomorrow."
Zhao Bi nodded repeatedly and said: "I will accompany Brother Chen. I know that Brother Chen has already collected some evidence. Don't report it for now. It will not be too late to make a decision after you meet Henan Yin."
Hearing that Zhong Ji had changed to Henan Yin, Chen Gong frowned even more and said, "Brother Zhao, please come back. I won't send you far."
Zhao Bi was worried that Chen Gong would change his mind and did not dare to say more, saying: "Brother Chen, please rest early."
"Wait, why did he frame me?" Chen Gong asked suddenly without moving.
Zhao Bi's face was full of bitterness and he said: "We have no choice but to do so. Henan Yin was worried that Brother Chen would hinder him, so he took a preemptive strike, but there was no evidence and it was just to delay time."
Chen Gong was noncommittal and looked indifferent.
Zhao Bi smiled apologetically again, raised his hands, and turned to leave.
When he walked away, an aide came over and said with a faint look: "Dong Weng, I think there may be something behind this matter."
Chen Gong took a breath and said, "Finally we have some clues. I will go to the victims tomorrow to have a look."
The staff member glanced at him and said in a low voice: "Dong Weng, do you want to take a look at the Huangmen North Temple Prison?"
Chen Gong was brought to Beijing by Zuo Li and was under house arrest for a long time, so he had more or less relationships with some people in Huangmen Beisi Prison.
When Chen Gong heard this, he thought twice about it and said, "It won't be too late to see it tomorrow."
The staff member said, "Dong Weng, Zhao Bi's visit tonight seems to be a peace treaty, but more like a final warning. I'm worried that something might happen."
Chen Gong was naturally aware of it, hesitant on his face, and said: "The matter of autumn grain is not only taken by the Chancellor, but His Majesty also attaches great importance to it. If it really goes as Zhao Bi said, the Chancellor and Your Majesty will be in a dilemma."
The staff member was stunned for a moment and said: "If it is true, what does Dong Weng plan to do?"
Chen Gong's eyes darkened, his face showed determination, and he said: "If he is willing to sacrifice himself for the victims, what if I, Chen Gong, fight on his behalf?"
