Chapter 636 Loyalty and Traitor
Chen Yin felt that he was really unlucky. Just now, Emperor Jiajing was going to retreat, and he was sure that nothing happened, so he dared to go out to meet others in private.

Who can have no private life?But I didn't expect that something happened just now!
A group of hungry people ran to the palace to make noise, embarrassing Emperor Jiajing.Especially when the emperor was in a hurry to find him, he couldn't find him immediately!

Moreover, Chen Yin also knew that Emperor Jiajing was in a bad mood for what he saw and heard during his southern tour in the past few days!I really hit the muzzle!

In fact, Chen Yin showed up a little later, Emperor Jiajing's anger had been diverted and dissipated a lot, but he still lashed out at Chen Yin:
"As an official of the imperial court, you have different duties from civil servants! You usually bow your head and hold your feet, pretending to imitate civil servants, that is all false respect!
Now the palace is terrified, shaken by public opinion, you didn't see it beforehand, and you didn't see it when it happened, it's all lax and dereliction of duty! "

Under the throne, all the prime ministers and ministers are speechless. What does it mean to "imitate civil servants by pretending to be fake"?What is "pseudo-respect"?
If you Zhu Houcong didn't have the status of emperor, dare to say such a truth that is meaner than Qin Dewei, you would definitely not be able to get out of this room!

Looking at Chen Dudu, who was slammed by the emperor, Qin Dewei somehow thought of Qin eunuch at this time.

The admiral of the East Factory used "a few 100,000 taels big business" as an excuse to give up the opportunity to accompany the driver on the southern tour that others were rushing to. Did he have a prediction?

The governor, Chen Yin, kowtowed again and again: "I have failed the grace of the Holy God, and I dare not quibble, I only ask you to take the blame to do things!"

After Emperor Jiajing finished spraying, there was no one more available at hand, so he could only issue a stern order:

"Get out of business! First, anyone who violates the law will be arrested immediately! Take this as an example, and it is strictly forbidden to stop him!

Second, go to the state government to seal the accounts warehouse, and check the actual situation of grain sales in recent months!If there is any act of deceiving the emperor, he will be punished severely! "

Qin Dewei sighed again, how could an emperor, especially a powerful emperor, have the same mentality as ordinary people?
In the TV dramas, those emperors who see the starving people can't walk, and are keen to do charity, are all deceitful.

In the cross talk I heard in my previous life, the joke "The old man was kind-hearted and hated the poor, so he drove away all the poor within a [-]-mile radius" is actually a reflection of the true state of mind of most emperors.

Qin Dewei came out again and said to Emperor Jiajing: "Your Majesty's southern tour was originally the Second Sage, and he wanted to capture the people, just for fear of disturbing the spirit of the Second Sage in heaven.

Therefore, I think that only a few people are the leader, and the rest of the ignorant people also ask His Majesty to forgive them, so why bother with them. "

Seeing that it was Qin Dewei who came forward to talk, Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves impatiently: "Shut up!"

Chen Yin, who was in charge of guarding affairs in Jinyi, went out to handle errands. Emperor Jiajing didn't say to disband, so all the officials could only wait for the result together.

Apparently Emperor Jiajing's emotions were on the rise, and he had to wait for the result tonight, and he didn't know why he wanted to compete.

It is a trivial matter to disperse the people, but it is the key point to find out whether there is a problem with selling grain.

Emperor Jiajing wanted face. Who made Emperor Jiajing lose face today? We must find out who is at fault.

Suspicious Emperor Jiajing had reason to suspect that Zhaozhou had embezzled the sale of grain, which caused the hungry people to run to the palace to make a noise and slapped himself in the face.

Most people hadn't eaten dinner yet, and they were hungry at this time, so Emperor Jiajing issued a decree to give them food!
Qin Dewei really wanted to say, if His Majesty really sympathized with the Minister, let everyone go to forage separately.

Cishan sounds high-end, but it must not be good to eat. The actual experience is equivalent to sitting on the side of the road and eating a cold box lunch!

What's more terrible is that you can't complain about the unpalatable box lunch, and you lose the greatest fun!

But looking at Fan Zhizhou who was kneeling on the other side of the threshold, Qin Dewei suddenly felt that he was very happy to be able to sit and eat box lunch.

About an hour later, Chen Yin hurried in from the outside again, and said to Emperor Jiajing: "I have preliminarily read the accounts and state treasury."

Although it sounded very fast, none of the officials were too surprised, because it was not a particularly complicated matter in itself.

One is that the state city is not too big, and the palace is only half a mile away from the state government, so it can be reached soon.

The second is that the sale of grain is only a short-term matter in the last one or two months, and the income and expenditure accounts are very simple, so it is not difficult to check.

The third is that it is only necessary to calculate the amount of sold grain and compare it with the calculation of income money. It does not involve the issue of grain storage, and there is no need to go to the scene to see if there is any grain in the state warehouse.

In other words, the government sells grain at a low price to benefit the people to solve the spring famine, and all that should be sold should be sold. It is strange that there is still grain in the state warehouse!Certainly there is no such traditional classic problem as imaginary storage of food.

Chen Yin continued to play: "From the accounts, Zhaozhou has indeed sold 10,000 taels in recent months. Calculated at five qian per shi, the total received is 6000 taels."

Emperor Jiajing asked again: "Where is the silver?"

Chen Yin replied: "This sum of money is placed in the state treasury and kept separately. I have also seen it, and the amount is not less than one or two."

Then Chen Yin asked several Jinyiwei officials to carry a few boxes and put them in front of the monarch and his ministers.After opening it, it was filled with silver and a thick account book.

If all the comparisons are correct, then the Zhaozhou government is not at fault?

In other words, the Zhaozhou government did follow the imperial court's order and sold grain at a low price for 10,000 taels.

It is true that 6000 taels of silver have been received and kept in the state treasury, and there is no corruption.

The clear account books and clear money placed in front of the officials can all prove the innocence of the Zhaozhou government.

The monarch and his subjects had nothing to say for a while, or didn't know what to say.

Fan Zhizhou, who had been kneeling by the threshold and looked like a dead dog, suddenly came to life, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, please listen to me!"

The room was full of people, and there was always someone to talk to. Emperor Jiajing raised his eyelids and said coldly: "Speak!"

Fan Zhizhou took a few steps forward, and said to him: "Although the government has temporarily transferred the food, the reason why there are still hungry people in the state is that the food production is still not enough, and there are still people who have not received the favor!

A closer look at the reasons, nothing more than two!First, the number of forced laborers in Beizhili has increased in recent years, which has affected their livelihoods, and the household reserves of the people in the state have become increasingly empty.

Also, His Majesty decided to make a southern tour, and the palaces, houses, and roads should be rehabilitated in just three months. There are many labors and labors, and the people owe a lot. This spring is even more difficult to make ends meet.

Therefore, people in the state need to sell more grain to deal with the spring famine after the disaster. 10,000 taels are useful, but not enough. "

The officials couldn't help looking at Fan Zhizhou a few more times, but they didn't realize just now that Fan Zhizhou was actually a loyal minister!
Although he didn't make a direct remonstrance, he didn't directly accuse the emperor of his fault, he didn't stop the emperor's southern tour or carry out large-scale construction projects, but he only hinted secretly, Your Majesty, you are already disturbing the people!There is no one else to blame for the starving people making trouble in the palace!
But in today's political environment, it is really rare to be able to speak up to this point.
