Great Ye Empress

Chapter 229 Granary
But, if he really let go, the whole family might not be able to survive.

Holding the heart of luck, Liu Sanyuan raised his head with difficulty, and there was a cry in his voice: "You are wronged, Mr. Yushi, the lower official is really wronged..."

"Since you've been wronged, let's talk about it... Why has the food loss in Taiyuan Prefecture been so bad in the past few years, and how did the local officials of Yu Division get promoted? When you came back to report on your job, what did you say... Only then can Yu Yu be made to work? Si is exempt from punishment, do you still have anything to do with the Ministry of Personnel?" Niu Yushi picked up the tea in his hand and said slowly, "Don't worry, think about it slowly, we have time."

"My lord has been wronged. My lord, I have always done my duty. How could I have anything to do with the Ministry of Personnel?" Liu Sanyuan cried out.

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. Let's talk about the 13th year of Yuanfeng. The food loss was so great this year. How did you report on your work after you went to inspect..." Niu Yushi took a sip of tea, put the teacup aside, took When Liu Sanyuan reported his work and handed in the paperwork, he had to match Liu Sanyuan point by point.

The household was half empty, and everyone was locked up in the Censor Tai Prison.

Originally, Xue Shangshu wanted to find an excuse to save a few important people, but Xie Jinyuan, the minister of personnel, came up with such a method.

At this time, although there were newcomers and officials who were familiar with the process quickly replacing the Ministry of Household, the people who replaced them were in a hurry, and it took a few days to get familiar with the process.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing, Lord Xue, was sitting on pins and needles.

Xue Shangshu admitted that he had also benefited from the disaster relief, but it was all for the first prince, and what he did was very secretive, and he did not touch it.

But if it's true... not a single grain of disaster relief food has reached the hands of the victims, that is the biggest corruption case since the founding of Daye, and he, the Minister of the Household, is to blame.

Xue Shangshu calmed down and only hoped that the officials who were taken away by the Censor Station would be killed and refused to admit it.

There are also grains stored in granaries in various places, I am afraid that they have to be disposed of quickly... Even if they are sent away and burned, they cannot be left behind!

In Bianjing City, apart from Xue Shangshu and the officials who have not been arrested for the disaster relief and corruption case, the first prince and the third prince are the ones who are anxious to get angry.

The eldest prince was worried that more people in his own party would be implicated, and finally he would be implicated, and he was flustered.

Like Concubine Gao, he knew his father too well...

The emperor could tolerate their greed, but he was so greedy that it covered the eyes of the emperor, so that none of the food the emperor assigned to relieve the disaster was delivered to the victims. This was a serious challenge to the authority and dignity of the emperor, and his father would not tolerate it.

The eldest prince understands that the case has already begun to be investigated, and he must not obstruct it, so as not to make the father even more concealed from him, and even become suspicious.

What he should do is to minimize the loss of his partisans and pay the least price to end the matter.

The Minister of the Household cannot be replaced by someone else, and it may not be as easy to control as the current Minister of the Household, Xue Zhi.

What's more, if it is replaced by the third prince, or the fourth prince takes the opportunity to support his own people, it will be detrimental to him.

The eldest prince sat on the throne with a headache, and listened to the person sent by his mother to say to him: "The noble concubine said that according to your majesty's temperament, the eldest prince should go to the palace first while the censor station has not found anything yet. Confess how much you have greed in this matter, and tell Your Majesty... I just didn't expect the people below to be greedy so much in the name of the First Prince, and the reason for greed... It's better for His Majesty!"

The eldest prince's brows stretched out, yes... As long as he admits it to his father in advance, he will definitely protect him even if he finds out something.

He is the son of the father, the eldest prince is not afraid that the father will kill him, but...the foundation that he finally established in the court, he is afraid that it will just disappear.

The third prince was also restless.

The third prince concubine Shen Shi was out of breath from crying, knelt in front of the third prince and begged the third prince to save Shen Yanxing.

Although he did not directly commit corruption, his wife and brother Shen Yanxing was really recommended by him, and Shen Yanxing was the main official responsible for the disaster relief this time.

At the beginning, when Shen Yanxing held the silver in front of the third prince, the third prince knew... Shen Yanxing himself was greedy.

The third prince grew up with Shen Yanxing since childhood, and felt that it was harmless for Shen Yanxing to be greedy in this matter.

Who let him be the only one by his side for so many years, Shen Yanxing, wholeheartedly to his friends, as long as Shen Yanxing has nothing to hide from him, and misses him.

But the third prince never thought that the people below were so bold!

At this moment, the third prince is discussing with the aides in the mansion, how to reduce the losses of his party members, and also to keep his wife, brother, and close friend... Shen Yanxing.

"His Royal Highness, my humble opinion... it's better to join forces with the eldest prince!" The staff of the third prince said, "The disaster relief and corruption case is so big now that the people below will definitely not be able to keep it, but there will always be someone above who will come forward to bear the burden. , this person's position can't be too low..."

When the third prince heard what his staff said, he thought of Xue Zhi, the minister of the household, and rubbed his hands on his knees.

The staff bowed with the third prince: "His Royal Highness wants to keep Lord Shen, the eldest prince... must also be reluctant to give up the position of the Minister of the Household, we can promise the third prince, as long as the Minister of Household Xue, Master Xue, will take care of this matter, and the next household will be His Highness the Minister of the Ministry can push the first prince's person to the upper position. Lord Shen is just a servant of the Ministry of War, and using the servant... to exchange the minister of the household, this is very cost-effective for the first prince."

The third prince nodded, although not reconciled, but this is already the best way.

As for how to let Xue Zhi, the minister of households, take care of it, this is his own business.

"His Royal Highness..." The most powerful steward next to the third prince came in from outside the door, and said after salute, "Xie Yunchu, who just went to work at the Censor's Desk yesterday, took a large group out of the city, looking at it... It looks like he is going to go far. , there is no news from the Censor's desk."

"Xie Yunchu..." When the third prince mentioned this name, his face was slightly ugly. He remembered that when he mentioned this name three years ago, the third prince was still very happy. At that time, Xie Yunchu made a scene in Bianjing, which made the first prince unlucky for a while.

Now, this Xie Yunchu reappears in Bianjing...

The third prince raised his hand and pressed his swollen head. Thinking of Xie Yunchu's upright appearance above the court, he didn't recognize his six relatives. He only felt that there was another imperial censor in the court, which was really annoying.

·
Xie Yunchu originally planned to go to Taiyuan Mansion day and night to kill them by surprise, but he couldn't hold it.

She was worried that there was news from the direction of Bianjing, and Yu Si of Taiyuan Prefecture would make preparations, and it would be cold when she went to the day lily.

Xie Yunchu asked the two guards of the Xie family, and the strong one from Yushitai to go first, and traveled day and night to Taiyuan Mansion.
