The Emperor said: "The position of the Censor Zhongcheng has found the most suitable candidate. What about the Dali Temple Minister? Does the Ministry of Personnel have recommended candidates?"

At this time, Xu Tianfang, the Minister of Personnel, had no time to speak, because there were two ministers below, and he, the chief official of the Ministry of Personnel, could not be too ugly to look at.

Suddenly, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel said, "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, I recommend the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Zhang Wenchang."

The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel said: "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, I recommend Min Jinyuan, the prefect of Bozhou."

As expected, the position of the Dali Temple Minister began to compete for, and the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel recommended different candidates. Xu Tianfang's face suddenly became a little unfair. The candidate of the Dali Temple Minister could not even be unified in the Ministry of Personnel. Doesn't it seem that Xu Tianfang is incompetent?

But there is no way. The Right Minister of Personnel supported the Supreme Emperor, and the Left Minister was Lin Gong's party, who supported the emperor.

In the position of the Censor Central Chief, the emperor actually knew that no one could compete with each other. His innocence could be easily proved. His qualifications were too old. Not to mention the Censor Central Chief, even if he was a Censor Central Chief.

But this Dali Temple Minister must not be allowed to be given up. Zhang Wenchang, the young minister of Dali Temple, was originally the second-in-command of Dali Temple, so it is normal to make up for it.

Min Jinyuan is also one of Ao Yu's teachers. At that time, he was the deputy chief examiner of the Canglang Provincial Country Examination. He was originally a Beijing official. After serving as the deputy chief examiner of Canglang Province, he made contributions in handling the so-called fraud case and was promoted to the prefect of Bozhou. He was a fourth-rank official, and it was indeed very difficult to directly be promoted to the Dali Temple Minister.

Next, the two factions quarreled with each other and quarreled with the position of Dali Temple Minister.

Finally, Xu Tianfang, Minister of Personnel, said: "Since that is the case, it is better to let the former Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhang Wenchang be promoted to the Dali Temple Minister, and the prefect of Bozhou Min Jinyuan be promoted to the Dali Temple Shaoqing."

As soon as these words came out, both sides became quiet.

The Supreme Emperor said: "Xu Tianfang is Lao Cheng's words for the country. What do you think, Emperor?"

The emperor said: "My son asks the Supreme Emperor to make a decision."

Your Majesty, do you know this? Are you a repeater?

However, in this battle for the Dali Temple Minister, the emperor did not fall into a disadvantage, at least he won the position of the Dali Temple Minister.

………………………………

The battle finally came to an end, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But those who are interested find that Ao Yu is actually the biggest winner of the battle, because both of his attendants in the provincial examination were promoted.

A mere fifth-rank official actually promoted two senior officials of the court. He was really a powerful minister.

However, the court meeting has been in progress for two and a half hours. Is it time to end? Today's major events have almost been discussed?

However, at this moment, Yun Zhonghe came out and said, "The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, I have the foundation."

As soon as these words were said, everyone couldn't help but tremble. Ao Yu, what do you want to do? Today your achievements are already huge. Your two teachers have been promoted to officials of the court. What else do you want to do?

The Supreme Emperor said: "Marquis Angry, talk."

Yun Zhonghe said: "I have received more than a dozen memorials from Langzhou in the cabinet, some from several magistrates from Langzhou, and some from the prefect of Langzhou, but there is only one thing that is reported. There is a large amount of rotten grain in the food that helps the victims of Langzhou."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Oh? Where are these memorials?"

Yun Zhonghe sent a thick stack of memorials and asked the Emperor and the Emperor to read it.

After hearing this, the ministers were shocked. It must be Chen Liang who helped the victims. It would be good to survive. Is there so much to pay attention to?

Ao Yu, you are making a big fuss, what do you want to do?

After seeing these memorials, the Emperor's face suddenly became cold and said in a cold voice: "Ministry of Revenue, what's going on? The victims of Langzhou have already suffered a lot of work every day, but they can only eat two bowls of porridge to survive. They even distributed rotten grains? Moreover, the Langzhou navy and the Langzhou navy are also eating this batch of food."

The Minister of Revenue’s face trembled. What does this mean? Could it be that the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor wants to take action against me, the Minister of Revenue? Just because I did not kneel down to support you, the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor?

Are you a little too anxious? After all, I am also a minister of the six ministries. Isn’t your biggest enemy now the King of Zhenhai? If the rebellion of Zhenhai is not quelled, the Supreme Emperor, you will have to the court ministers start the operation. Isn’t it too early? Are you not afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will bring his ministers to counterattack?

Suddenly, the Minister of Revenue quickly stepped out and said, "Report to the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, the grain raised by the Ministry of Revenue is not new, but it is also food within two years. It is absolutely impossible to rot, it is absolutely impossible."

The Emperor said: "Are you sure that the relief grains shipped to Langzhou have not rotten?"

The Minister of Revenue said: "Absolutely not."

The Supreme Emperor said in a cold voice: "Is it possible that someone in Langzhou has gained his personal pockets? Are you making money from the national crisis? What should Zhou Li do, the imperial envoy?"

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised. Zhou Li is your hard-core Supreme Emperor Party, so why did he even get into trouble?

And at this moment, there were loud shouts outside.

"The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, Langzhou is urgently reported, Langzhou is urgently reported."

The Supreme Emperor said: "What happened in Langzhou again? Let him come in."

A moment later, a man came in with dust and knelt down and said, "My memory of Nangong Liu, pay homage to the Supreme Emperor, pay homage to Your Majesty! There is a major incident in Langzhou, and a major incident."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Tell me."

Nangong Liudao: "The relief grain transported by the imperial court to Langzhou was corrupt and green. After the disaster victims finished eating, they were poisoned one after another. Now there are more than 3,000 casualties, and it is still increasing. The imperial envoy has summoned all the doctors in Canghai Province, but it still cannot control the increase in the number of casualties."

As soon as these words came out, the morning changed in a state of disgrace.

This is true. Some people are so crazy that they transported the completely rotten food to the victims for food.

If it is ordinary rot, it will not kill people. It is obvious that this batch of grain is completely rotten. I don’t know how many aflatoxins there are, so of course it will kill people on a large scale if they are eaten.

The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he shivered all over and said hoarsely: "The law of heaven does not tolerate it, and the law of heaven does not tolerate it! All the members of the Ministry of Revenue, are you sure the food allocated to Langzhou is not rotten or poisonous?"

Suddenly, many officials of the Ministry of Revenue knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "The Supreme Emperor, I swear with my head on my neck that although the food transported to Langzhou was old, there was absolutely no rotten grain. You also know that more than two years ago, when we fought against the Daying Empire, even if there were any old grains for a few years, they had already finished eating them. Where could there be any food left to rot."

The Supreme Emperor said sternly: "That is, some people exchanged the good food transported to the disaster area of ​​Langzhou for rotten grains, and made money from the national crisis? Thousands of people died of food in one go? How horrible? Check, check, check!"

Suddenly, the civil and military officials bowed their heads, and many people couldn't help but recall the situation when Emperor Tianyan was in power.

The Supreme Emperor continued: "The victims of Langzhou suffered natural disasters and were unfortunate, but now they are going to suffer man-made disasters again? Is the money of the national crisis so easy to pay? Are the money of the dead so easy to be greedy? This case must be thoroughly investigated. Ministry of Justice, Censorate, and Dali Temple."

The Three Laws immediately stepped out and bowed and said, "I'm here."

The Supreme Emperor said: "You are preparing to hear this case. No matter who is involved, no matter how old his qualifications are, no matter how big his official position is, no matter how high his identity is, once it is found out, severe punishment will not be punished."

"I will obey the order!"

Then, the Supreme Emperor asked, "Emperor, what do you think?"

The emperor said: "I also think this case is horrifying and must be thoroughly investigated and given an explanation to the world. Therefore, I must send a capable minister to thoroughly investigate the case."

The Supreme Emperor said: "All the officials, who would like to take this job and investigate the case of replacing relief grain?"

The newly appointed Censor Yu Zheng said, "The Supreme Emperor, I am willing to go to Langzhou to thoroughly investigate this case. I must investigate it clearly. It is clear that no matter who makes the national crisis, he will definitely find out."

Prime Minister Lin Gong said: "Mr. Yu Zheng is selfless and it is best to investigate this case. However, the level of the imperial envoy sent to Langzhou should be higher. I think it is more appropriate to be the Minister of Justice as the imperial envoy."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhuo, the Minister of Justice, came out and said, "I am willing to go!"

This Minister of Justice was also Lin Gong's party, and of course he also supported the emperor.

So although Lin Gong is only the third-ranked prime minister, his power in the court is completely blocking the sky because he is the emperor's confidant, and such top ministers need the emperor's approval.

The two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War had already sat in this position during the reign of Emperor Taishang. Because they had not made any mistakes, it was difficult for the emperor to replace them all. Moreover, at ordinary times, these two ministers seemed to be very obedient. They did not expect to turn against each other at a critical moment and support the Emperor Taishang.

The Supreme Emperor said: "Then let Wang Zhuo be the main and Yu Zheng as the auxiliary to investigate the case thoroughly!"

Wang Zhuo, Minister of Justice and Yu Zheng, Chief Censor, immediately knelt down and said, "I will obey the order."

"Scattered!"

………………………………

Ning Huaian, the governor of Ning Cheng, secretly asked to meet the Empress.

"Empress, something big is going to happen. Ao Yu, a little beast, is going to start a shocking case." Ning Huaian said tremblingly: "This case of corruption and death of victims who died of food and the case of replacing relief grain must be caused by Ao Yu. His target is Queen."

The queen said in a cold voice: "What's wrong with Guan's palace? Even if Ao Yu has the support of an old person, he can't do anything to me, the queen. Most of the officials in the court still stand on the side of His Majesty the Emperor."

Ning Huaian trembled and said, "Empress, this time the fleet responsible for transporting disaster relief food is from... the Marquis of Taikang."

As soon as these words were said, the queen trembled suddenly. Taikang Hou was the queen's father, who is the current father-in-law.

The queen trembled and said, "Then the matter of food exchange?"

Ning Huaiandao: "We did it on the sea."

The Queen said, "How much food has been exchanged?!"

Ning Huaian said: "About 800,000 stones."

As soon as these words came out, the queen couldn't help but tremble suddenly, almost unable to believe her ears.

Eighty thousand stones of grain? This is million taels of silver.

The queen trembled: "Where did you get so much rotten food in your home? It's impossible."

Ning Huaian said: "These old grains are from the King of Zhenhai Mansion. In order to seek great cause, Shi Bian hoarded countless grains. Because of a typhoon, several large granaries were flooded, so all the grains became moldy. We gave the army that was not very moldy to the garrison and gave the extremely rotten grains to the victims. Unexpectedly, so many people died of food."

This...the crime is even greater.

In other words, the Ministry of Revenue transported the good disaster relief grain to the disaster area of ​​Langzhou, but was replaced by the queen's family on the sea, sold the good grain to Zhenhaiwang, and then transported the completely rotten grain from Zhenhaiwang's Mansion to the disaster area of ​​Langzhou?

Now that Zhenhai King has rebelled, this is not only about making money from the national crisis, it is not only about corruption, but also about collusion with the enemy.

Once this crime is revealed, the entire queen will be disgraced and her position as queen will be difficult to protect.

The queen said, "Who else? Is our family involved in this?"

Ning Huaian said: "And Ao Ting, in order to curry favor with our family, he gave us several sea boats."

The queen trembled and said, "Ao Yu is so cruel. He is going to take revenge. He is going to take me and the Ao Ting family in one fell swoop."

Ning Huaian said: "Empress, what should I do?! If they really want to find out, it would be a huge disaster."
