Chapter 79 Sending the censor to prison, Uncle Guo made a great contribution!
Tianqi stood up after hearing this, and said with a smile, "It can be regarded as hearing about him. What did the express delivery say?"
Han Yu replied: "It was an urgent delivery from the governor of Denglai. They said that they had seen the flag of the king's order of the uncle of the country appearing on the sea, so as soon as there was a movement of the uncle of the country, they would send it to Beijing immediately. According to the will, the matter was reported to the cabinet.”
"It's good to have news of his return, but I don't know if he brought back food."
Tian Qi nodded and said.
Wei Zhongxian asked: "In this case, the emperor, should the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies immediately make an order to let the uncle of the country return to Beijing immediately to report the situation of raising food?"
"allow!"
Tianqi responded.
"Follow the order!"
At this time, the **** Liu Ruoyu said: "My lord, it's time to eat."
Tian Qi therefore said: "Let's eat."
"yes!"
Liu Ruoyu agreed and asked the **** below to bring the porridge.
When Tian Qi saw this porridge with a clear soup and little water, it was really hard to swallow, and he couldn't help saying: "I'm still hungry."
Seeing this, Han Yu couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, you should eat some food, or you may hurt the Eucharist!"
Tian Qi said: "I really don't want to drink porridge anymore!"
"Your Majesty is a benevolent king. He would rather wrong himself than wrong the frontier army and the common people. Rao is Emperor Wen of Han. It is nothing more than that! It is also a minister who is incompetent. He is the leader, and he can't worry about his father."
Han Yu wiped away tears as he spoke.
"That's the case, there are still many scholars out there who have been deluded by lard and say that the emperor is a senseless and stupid king who doesn't understand people's feelings!"
"But the fact is that they don't see the people and the country in their eyes, and they want to blame all these on the emperor!"
"It's fine if they don't speak well to the servants, after all, the servants are also people who can't stand on the stage, but they don't speak well to the emperor. I, Da Ming, raised them for nothing!"
Wei Zhongxian also complained about it.
"Okay! What's the use of talking about this, the key now is to wait for Zhang Gui to come back and see if he has brought food back."
Tianqi said helplessly.
"Your Majesty, Uncle Guo doesn't know if he has brought food back. In my opinion, it's better to let the officials donate some food first. At least you can't let your majesty really drink porridge like this all the time, which will cause the loss of the holy body." Go down. There is still some meager food in the minister's house, about five hundred shi, and I wish to donate all of it to share the worries of the emperor."
Han Yan held back his suggestion at this time.
Tian Qi said after hearing this: "This is also a way. By the way, let's see how many ministers are willing to donate food. Let's put forward this decree in the court tomorrow at noon."
"Follow the order!"
Han Yu and Wei Zhongxian agreed.
the next day.
Gao Panlong, who entered the palace to participate in the government because the emperor suddenly wanted to go to court in the morning, said with a smile to Zhao Nanxing and other civil officials: "Your Majesty's sudden morning court must have something to do with Cao Liang, don't start to give in and compromise."
Zhao Nanxing said with a smile: "If you are soft, you will know if you try it. This hall has already greeted the officials on Ke Dao. At noon today, someone will stand up and impeach Wei Zhongxian. At that time, it will depend on whether your majesty will be impeached." If you are willing, you can go down the donkey and order Wei Zhongxian to go to prison."
These days, many civil servants who represent the interests of big landlords and big bureaucrats are extremely happy after learning that food prices have skyrocketed, hunger has increased sharply in the Gyeonggi area, and even the palace has begun to eat porridge.
They themselves will naturally not be affected by high grain prices. After all, their own family is a large grain producer, and they even hope that grain prices can continue to rise.
As a result, each of these civil servants is full of joy and happiness.
Shen Yongmao also came over and said with a smile: "As soon as Wei Zhongxian falls, let Han Yu resign on the grounds of colluding with the eunuchs, and then order Yuan Keli to leave Beijing! In this way, the reform can be suspended!"
"It is also time to order His Majesty to move back to the Forbidden City, and the emperor lives in Xiyuan, which is inconsistent with the etiquette!"
Gao Panlong Road.
Zhao Nanxing and others nodded after hearing this.
…
However, there are also civil servants who still have the safety of the country in their hearts and hope to reform and implement the New Deal in the future. They are worried about the current situation.
"The grain has not yet arrived in Beijing, so the price of grain has skyrocketed, and people are confused. Do you think Uncle Guo will raise grain?"
Yuan Keli worriedly mentioned Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua at this time.
"I don't know if Uncle Guo can raise food, but if this drags on like this, the reform will be impossible!"
Sun Chengzong nodded and said: "Yes, His Majesty's determination to innovate is well known throughout the court, but now he has to be stopped because of the reluctance of rentiers in the world. I really don't know if he can bear it."
"Could it be that these people really don't think about the national conditions of the Holy Grace?! Really intend to let Daming perish?!"
The young Chen Zizhuang said quite angrily at this time.
"The world is going downhill, and people's hearts are not old. In today's world, how many people care about the rise and fall of the world?"
Yuan Keli said with a wry smile.
…
Not long after, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty entered the hall with their own different moods. After paying respects to Emperor Tianqi, Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian to announce his intention to let all officials donate food to overcome the food shortage.
Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and other civil officials who hoped that the emperor would be soft were a little disappointed. They didn't expect that the emperor still had no intention of being soft, and asked them to donate food.
Zhao Nanxing was the first to go out to court and play: "Your Majesty, the minister's family has always been poor, and now there are only two stones of grain in storage. I would like to donate one stone of grain."
"I am ashamed, I really don't know how to get money, even though I am an official, I am still very poor. I would like to donate the only five buckets of rice in my family."
"I have received the grace of the country, how can I not share my worries for the king, and I am willing to donate two stones of food."
Many civil officials who were as disappointed with the emperor as Zhao Nanxing expressed symbolically that they only donated a few stones of rice.
Tian Qi was very disappointed after hearing this. He thought that anyone could get at least five hundred stones like Han Yu, so that thousands of ministers in the court could collect hundreds of thousands of stones. Let's solve the problem right now. The problem of food shortage.
"The minister is willing to donate two hundred stone grains!"
Yuan Keli couldn't bear to see this, so he stood up and said something.
Chen Zizhuang also said: "I would like to donate one hundred stones."
Sun Chengzong naturally didn't want to see his emperor's students in trouble, so he followed suit: "I donate three hundred stone grains."
Tian Qi said after hearing this: "None are as generous as Yuan Fu! As far as I know, many of you have a lot of fertile land in your clan."
"Your Majesty doesn't know that although there are many fertile fields in the ministers and other clans, there are also many clansmen. In addition, because the treacherous ministers are in power, there are frequent floods and droughts, and the grain production has been severely reduced, so there is really no surplus food."
Zhao Nanxing hurriedly explained at this time, and at the same time gave Yushi Song Shixiang a wink.
Song Shixiang also went out to the court after that and said: "Your Majesty! Today's disasters continue and people's grievances are boiling. It is because the traitors in the court are in power, and the powerful eunuchs Wei Zhongxian colluded with courtiers and relatives, colluded with traitors, and formed cliques for personal gain. That's why we are here today. Misfortune, I have now collected twenty articles of serious crimes and impeached him, please make a clear judgment, Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, Song Shixiang handed out the playbook and raised it above his head.
When Wei Zhongxian heard that Song Shixiang impeached him, he couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and thought: "Our family is over! These days of **** have started to attack our family! Our family has been completely ruined by the uncle of the country! It's my fault that I burned it all night yesterday. After burning incense, I begged the Bodhisattva to bless my uncle Guo to raise food, and now it seems that the Bodhisattva will not appear."
After Song Shixiang played, Zhao Nanxing and others all glanced at Tianqi with a smile on their lips.
"Your Majesty! Uncle Guo is asking to see you outside the palace!"
At this time, there was a notification sound from outside.
Tian Qi ignored Song Shixiang after hearing this, and hurriedly said, "Declaration!"
Not long after, Zhang Gui entered the main hall in a hurry, and reported to Tianqi: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I have ordered the West Factory to raise six million shi of grain from overseas, and now they have been escorted to Beijing one after another!"
"Is this true?!"
Tian Qi immediately stood up and asked.
Zhang Gui hurriedly handed over the Xichang inscription: "I dare not deceive the emperor!"
Boom!
Wei Zhongxian, who was eager to come to Zhang Gui to show Tianqi the test book, fell on the main hall, but he quickly got up again, gritted his teeth, limped to take the test book from Zhang Gui, and went to Tianqi Walking here, he said with a smile on his face: "My lord, the title book!"
Soon, Tianqi got the title book in Zhang Gui's hand, and because of this, he saw the Japanese letter of voluntary reparation and food included in the title book. I hope that Ai Qing really lives up to my expectations!"
The smiles of Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others gradually froze. Now they are very unwilling to believe that this will be true. They don't think that Zhang Gui will bring food.
Song Shixiang also froze in place.
"Is it me who loses his head now?"
"Did I do the same thing as those people who switched from Taizu's side to Chen Youliang before the Poyang Lake War?"
Thinking of this, Song Shixiang began to sweat on his forehead.
At this time, Huo Weihua had already stood up decisively, and said: "Qizou Your Majesty! The Minister Shen Yushi Song Shixiang deceived the public with monster words, framed Zhongliang, and concealed the heart of deceiving the emperor!"
"Send Song Shixiang to prison for strict punishment! Find out who is behind the scenes!"
Tian Qi ordered in a cold voice at this time.
Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief seeing this.
Everyone understand that sometimes the plot inevitably has some foreshadowing, otherwise it will not be coherent into the plot. Besides, if some content is not foreshadowed, the later plot will appear unreasonable. I am trying to minimize the content that delays the rhythm, but this is the case. Some content is still indispensable, thank you for following up, now it is the critical period for the shelf, and it is estimated that it will be on the shelf within two weeks.
