The next morning, as soon as Emperor Jinghe got up, he received a joint report from Deng Hui, Cheng Jiashan and others.
In fact, the day at the Kaoxian Grain Storage Warehouse arrived late last night, but the deputy prime minister on duty, Ma Haoqiu, thought there was no need to disturb the emperor who had already been busy for a day in the middle of the night, so he decided to wait.
As a result, it happened that the flying pigeon message from the Qiu County grain storage warehouse of Cheng Jiashan and others arrived in the early morning.
By this time, Cao Yi and others had arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion. After watching the report, everyone hurriedly came to ask for a meeting with Emperor Jing He.
Emperor Jinghe didn't sleep well that night. Even if the young and beautiful Wang Zhaoyuan slept in his arms like a little kitten, keeping him warm, he couldn't sleep all night.
There is no other reason.
That secret letter in which the businessman committed suicide was really scary.
If all of this is true, then the entire Dakang Dynasty will experience a huge shock. I don¡¯t know how many officials will be affected, and I don¡¯t know how many families will be destroyed.
Emperor Jinghe didn¡¯t believe what was said here was true, but Miao Yan insisted that he should investigate it carefully.
Supporting Miao Yan¡¯s opinion are Zhong Chang, Ma Haoqiu and Feng Yuqiang.
Cao Yi does not object or support.
Nangong Ji, the deputy minister who coordinated the Ministry of Household Affairs, expressed opposition, but did not stick to the end.
That¡¯s why Emperor Jinghe chose to conduct a thorough investigation.
He first thoroughly investigated the two most important warehouses in the Gyeonggi region.
¡° If there is no problem with these two warehouses, then basically what the businessman named Ding Yu is accusing is nothing. At most, it is just a case of officials using their power for personal gain.
There is no need to investigate further in the future.
Before entering the imperial study, Emperor Jinghe was already prepared.
As long as the loss of the two major warehouses in Kao County and Qiu County is not more than 20%, he does not intend to pursue the matter on a large scale and will only deal with the matter in a low-key manner on a small scale.
As soon as he walked in, Emperor Jinghe saw everyone's gloomy expressions.
Especially Deputy Prime Minister Nangong Ji, whose face was so heavy that he almost shed tears.
So the emperor's heart sank.
"Your Majesty, this is the report from Deng Hui and Cheng Jiashan. Please read it."
While speaking, Ma Haoqiu handed over two reports.
These letters passed by flying pigeons are usually written in very small handwriting.
Therefore, when they were presented to the emperor, they were all copied by the Hanlin Academy in Wenyuan Pavilion, signed by the person in charge, inspected by one of the four prime ministers, and presented to the emperor together with the originals.
The emperor mainly read the copied large text version.
"I, Lin Wei General Deng Hui, reported to the Holy Emperor as follows: After investigation, the Ministry of Household Accounts recorded that there should be 13 million shi of rice and wheat in Kaoxian County, including 8.5 million shi of rice and 4.5 million shi of wheat.
According to the audit conducted by the Ministry of Industry and the Hanlin Academy, it was found that only 4.2 million shi of rice and 2.1 million shi of wheat were left in the accounts, and the remaining 6.7 million shi were missing.
After interrogation, they confessed to a complete chain of criminal theft and selling of warehouse grain, in which the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Gyeonggi Yamen, the Water Transport Yamen, the Hedao Yamen, the Northern Navy Yamen, and the Kao County Yamen were all involved.
The minister believes that the court should dispatch capable officials as soon as possible to be responsible for further investigation and trial work, so that the losses can be recovered and the victims can be rescued from the fire. "
¡¡
"I, General Cheng Yulinwei, are kind to the family. I wish you all the best, Your Majesty.
I arrived at the Qiu County Grain Storage Warehouse on a starry night trip, but I didn't expect that the thieves had already gotten the news, and frantically set fire to a grain storage warehouse that originally contained 3 million stones, causing all the grain in the warehouse to burn down.
The Ministry of Household Accounts recorded that Kaoxian County should have 15 million shi of rice and wheat, including 9.7 million shi of rice and 5.3 million shi of wheat.
But in fact, only 3.1 million shi of rice and 2.7 million shi of wheat were left, and only 700,000 shi of the burned warehouse of 3 million shi were left.
After interrogation, I learned that the Qiu County Grain Storage Warehouse had begun reselling grain on a large scale fifty years ago, changing new grain into old grain, and changing big buckets into small buckets
Various methods are used in endlessly, and finally only less than half of them are left. It is really a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven! "
¡¡
&n?, it might not be a bad idea.
Ge Songdao, a demon governor who kills without blinking an eye, is the most popular with the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army, and is much easier to command.
And according to the province where Ge Song was born as a legalist, and his cold and ferocious character, Emperor Jinghe didn't have to worry about him forming gangs, let alone having too much power to restrain him.
Withdrawing his thoughts, Emperor Jinghe said: "In addition, send a flying pigeon letter to Liu Renhuai, the governor of Jiangnan, giving him the power of imperial envoy and asking him to thoroughly inspect the granaries in the three provinces of Jiangnan, Shandong and Jiangxi. At the same time, send documents to the garrisons in various places, Garrison troops at Shanhaiguan and let them obey Liu Renhuai's orders to deal with all possible disturbances."
"yes!"
Cao Yi answered harmoniously, but then changed her tone, "I heard just now that the Northern Navy and the Water Transport Yamen were involved. If Liu Renhuai doesn't have a strong army in his hands, he may not be able to cope with the situation, right?"
Ma Haoqiu frowned and said: "But to transport the troops, we have to pass through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. If something goes wrong we can't afford it!"
"This is simple."
Gao Jing, who was next to him, finally had a chance to show off: "With both sides of Guimenguan under control, no matter what rash actions the Caoyun Yamen makes, they will not threaten the capital."
"good!"
Zhong Chang couldn¡¯t help but slap his hands, ¡°Master Gao, this is a wonderful move!¡±
Emperor Jinghe also thought Gao Jing¡¯s idea was a good one.
But the problem is still not solved.
"If Liu Renhuai wants to mobilize troops, only the garrisons from the three provinces can arrive at the first time, but they will not be able to have an overwhelming advantage over the northern navy and water transport yamen." Emperor Jinghe muttered: "My dear friends, this matter should be taken seriously. What¡¯s the explanation?¡±
"The veteran believes that Xiong Quwei, who is good at running thousands of miles, is the most suitable for this task." Cao Yi walked to the front of the map and said, "Your Majesty, please see, Xiong Quwei is currently stationed in Zhoukou, heading east from Zhoukou, passing through Haozhou, Suzhou, and Si County , we can go straight to Huai'an. As long as Huai'an can be controlled, not to mention the water transport yamen, even the Northern Navy will not dare to move at all."
Emperor Jinghe looked at Cao Yi's hand pointing on the map and thought for a while, "Okay! Order General Xiong Quwei Li Nanyuan to lead 10,000 Xiong Quwei, one man and two horses, and rush to Huai'an as quickly as possible"
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.
The officials who had dealt with Emperor Jinghe for decades understood that the emperor was thinking of Lin Zhenyuan, the governor of water transportation.
Lin Zhenyuan is Jinghe's potential minister. Although his external reputation is not very good, like Nangong Ji, he can make water transportation prosperous. When he is needed, he has never said a word about giving money to others.
Although the case of reselling stored grains now involves the Water Transport Yamen, how deeply Lin Zhenyuan is involved and whether to treat this loyal minister so fiercely needs to be seriously considered.
The emperor's face was uncertain.
After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Order Li Nanyuan to monitor Huai'an, and use the imperial edict to announce the return of the Governor of Water Transport Lin Zhenyuan and the Governor of the Northern Navy Zhang Gongli to the capital. It would be fine if the Water Transport Yamen and the Northern Navy did not move. Once there is If anything is too extreme, suppress it immediately! Do whatever it takes to ensure the peace of Jiangnan!"
All the ministers let out a long breath.
Sure enough, the emperor still knows the importance.
Lin Zhenyuan and Zhang Gongli are certainly important, but compared to Jiangnan, the backbone of the entire empire, they are not worth mentioning at all.
Anything can happen.
Only Jiangnan cannot be chaotic!
¡° If riots occur in Jiangnan due to various turmoils, the blow to Dakang will definitely be fatal.
By then it will no longer be just a matter of disaster relief.
"Evil neighbors outside, such as Shiwei, Xiqiang, Uighurs, and even Qiyan in the north, may pounce on Dakang and bite him hard!"
Such a war is a disaster ten times more serious than a flood!
Therefore, Emperor Jinghe would rather suspect Lin Zhenyuan and Zhang Gongli than put his hope in the character of Lin Zhenyuan and Zhang Gongli.
When it comes to the safety of the world, carelessness and contempt are not acceptable!
