Chapter 663 Visiting Shaanxi and Gansu?
Gao Jinxi, who was standing at the door, was even more frightened. He knew these tricks of urging the eunuchs in advance. After Bao Fuquan left the door, he realized and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "I should die of sin. I went out to urge me before. The eunuchs in the urging said words at first and then up. The servant was stupid and had no idea. I beg the emperor to punish them together."
His words not only confirmed the crimes of citing the eunuchs and Zhenwu's favorites, but also easily removed him. It was a typical example of taking the blame.
"Suppress first and then raise?" Zhenwu snorted and sneered, "I ask them to raise first and then suppress." As he said that, he glanced at Gao Jinxi, and then said lightly, "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty. You go and take over the errand of the guide."
After hearing this, Gao Jin was very happy and hurriedly kowtowed: "Thank you the emperor for your kindness, and I obey your order."
Then Zhenwu turned sideways to Queen Hairuo and said, "These bold and arbitrary slaves cannot be indulged in any way, otherwise they will gain a better position."
Hai Ruo came back to his senses at this time and understood why Zhenwu had caused a group of eunuchs to be entrusted for no reason. The second general in her palace was also one of the eunuchs to be entrusted for a moment. After pondering for a moment, she said: "The emperor shines on the light, has insight into the eyes, and has handled it very appropriately. It not only tidied up the rules in the palace, but also cared about the face of the concubines in the harem."
As soon as he finished speaking, a young eunuch bowed to report at the door: "Your Majesty, Prince Yi Yinxiang handed over a sign outside Danning residence to ask for a visit."
The Thirteenth Old is here! It must be Zhao Shenqiao's news. Zhenwu nodded slightly before saying to Hairuo: "It's not easy to make a beautiful girl back and forth. If the remaining beautiful girls choose to read, the queen will be in trouble." As he said that, he stood up and ordered: "Let Yinxiang stay in Danning."
Although Hai Ruo lived in the palace, he was still clear about the major affairs of the court. He knew that Yinxiang was not only in charge of Fengtai Camp, but also in charge of the Ministry of War. He knew that he had chosen the Xiu Nu today, but he still came to ask for a meeting. Obviously, there was an urgent matter. She hurriedly stood up and said, "National affairs are important. Please don't worry about choosing the Xiu Nu."
Zhenwu was also eager to know about Zhao Shenqiao's situation, so he rushed back to Danningju and entered the hall, but he did not see Yinxiang. He knew that Yinxiang must be afraid of usurpation. He refused to wait in the hall, so he ordered: "Xuan Yinxiang meets him."
Yinxiang stepped into the back of the palace and bowed in a straightforward manner: "I respectfully ask the emperor for peace and safety."
After he got up, Zhenwu smiled and said with a smile: "Don't give him a seat."
After thanking him, Yinxiang bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, I have already received Zhao Shenqiao from Luancheng the day before yesterday."
Luancheng? Zhenwu frowned slightly. There are two roads to enter Beijing in Shanxi and Shaanxi, from Zhengding to northwest. Those who pass by Lujingxing into Jin are the way to pass the post station. All Huanghua envoys and military letters and posts are all from this way. Those who travel southwest and pass through Luancheng Zhaozhou into Henan are the way to travel together. Zhao Shenqiao does not walk on the post road, but on the business road, is the way to hide his whereabouts?
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Is Zhao Shenqiao okay?"
"Return to the emperor, Weichen is in charge of Zhending Mansion. After hearing the news, he went to pick him up in person." Yinxiang bowed and said, "Zhao Shenqiao is in good spirits. He is just quite haggard." As he said that, he took out a letter and presented it with both hands, saying, "This is a secret letter sent by Zhao Shenqiao to Weichen."
Zhenwu took the secret letter and checked the hot paint. After disassembling it, he hurriedly opened it and his face darkened. In the letter, Zhao Shenqiao reported in detail to officials from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to invade, and falsely took the entrusted silver, pension silver, and sanctioned silver from the court, and mentioned that three of the five prison students who reported the case were missing.
The so-called "Safety Closing Bank" refers to the resettlement of victims who are exiled in disasters. Because disaster relief has always been based on the people's food supply, and county towns or large towns as relief sites, victims from all over the world gathered at the relief sites to deal with the disaster. These victims not only need relief but also set up sheds to resettle houses. In addition, they also need to send back their homes after the disaster. The distance is far away and the amount of food is paid according to the size of the victim population. This is to recover as soon as possible and promote post-disaster production.
There are many types of pensions, including care for orphans, raising children, hiring impoverished, filial piety, politeness, charity, pride of crimes, prisoners, and hardships. These pensions are very necessary after major disasters. These days, not only are the medical treatment poor, but also have poor physical fitness. In every disaster, even if the relief is timely and effective, various deaths will occur. The post-disaster pensions are mainly to stabilize people's hearts and win the hearts of the people.
The main purpose of the elimination of locusts is to capture and eliminate locusts. Since the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, locust plagues have been extremely serious, so they attach great importance to the elimination of locusts. Kangxi also wrote the "Theory of Locust Catching" for this. Local officials also summarized a large number of experiences in locust hunting. After a severe drought, there are often locust plagues. This is also the so-called extreme drought and locusts. After a drought, the issuance of damaging silver is not only to eliminate locust plagues, but also to disguise subsidies for the people after the disaster.
Although he had expected it, Zhenwu was still quite shocked. These officials were so obsessed with greed. They repeatedly ruling and punishing the law. Under the supervision of many prison students, they all dared to greed for disaster relief. They were so bold that they were extremely brave. The whereabouts of the three unknown prison students were still unknown.
After pondering for a while, Zhenwu handed the secret letter to Yinxiang and said, "Look at it too."
At a rough look, Yinxiang was shocked and sweated. In such a big case, with Zhenwu's usual style of leading troops, he must do what he said and start a massacre. The officials in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces were mostly full of famines, and were specially used for bannermen. The officials above the government roads of the two provinces were mostly related to the royal family and princes of the capital, and the nobles of Manchu and Mongolian, and were either in-laws or disciples. If the killing was launched, it would probably cause turmoil in the court.
But it is impossible to expose the case gently. Not to mention that Zhenwu will not go back on his word to the world, even Zhao Shenqiao will not give up. After a while, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I personally think that this case must be thoroughly investigated. What I wonder is that so many prison students supervise in the two provinces, why only five people noticed that there was a problem?"
"This is not surprising." Zhenwu said casually: "The students have no experience in relief and disaster relief. Their supervision focus is on the relief food during disaster relief. What they care about is whether people will starve to death? After the rain, the disaster situation eased. They thought that the jog had been completed, so they naturally would not care more. Besides, the settlement, pension, and the elimination of the harm were taken by officials from both provinces. They had no way of knowing how to supervise it?"
After a slight salute, he continued: "For this relief, I not only ordered the Beijing News and killed a group of warehouse officials and officials, Yu, who thought it was a warning, but it did not have any effect of deterrence. It seems that there were too few people killed." Speaking of this, he snorted coldly, "I really don't believe that they are all things that cost money and live. This case must be thoroughly investigated. I personally go to Shanxi and Shaanxi."
Zhenwu was going on a tour? Yinxiang was stunned. How could he leave the capital after he ascended the throne? He hurriedly bowed and said, "How can the emperor have a body of thousands of gold be easily taken advantage of? The drought in the Jin and Shaanxi areas have just passed, the people's hearts are not stable, the public security is not stable, and there is a possibility of a plague outbreak. I dared to pray that the emperor would cancel his plan to go to Jin and Shaanxi."
"A mere spring drought, I invested more than 10 million silver. If the people's hearts are still unstable, public security is unstable, and a plague breaks out, all officials in both provinces can be killed." Zhenwu said in a deep voice: "I want to go and see in person how much of this silver is used on the people?"
After hearing this, Yinxiang couldn't help but complain that he had made a mistake. He was thinking about whether to vent the ministers or Yinsi in the study room and let them dissuade them. However, Zhenwu continued: "Although I have been in the area for a long time, it is limited to the coastal areas of the south of the Yangtze River, and has never been involved in the provinces of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu. This trip is not only to secretly investigate the relief situation, but also to go to Xi'an to see it."
Secret investigation? Zhenwu is planning to visit privately in private? Yinxiang was shocked. What a joke. The people in Shaanxi and Gansu are fierce, not as good as those in Jiangnan. Not only is there a spring drought this year, but it is also a decade or nine years. There is no good year. I dare not say that thieves are everywhere, but I think there will be no less. How can I visit privately in privately? Once the rumor is leaked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Before he could speak, Zhenwu continued: "Last year, Emperor Ama had a first stroke, so I sent someone to hire a Tibetan doctor who is good at treating stroke symptoms to Beijing for restoration treatment for Emperor Ama. A few days ago, before Emperor Ama went to the Summer Resort, the Tibetan doctor had arrived.
The personal guards who went to ** came back to report that there were rumors that Hami and ** were saying that Junggar had frequent contact with Tsarist Russia, and I was worried that the northwest would be in a hurry. If there were changes in the northwest, the importance of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Gansu and Shanxi was self-evident, and I had to pay more attention. In the battle of the northwest, the grain and grass logistics used to be fought, but now there are also arms supply. I expect Xi'an to build a large arms grain and grass supply base. If you don't look at it, I can't rest assured."
Gar had frequent contact with Tsarist Russia? The northwest was about to change? Yinxiang was delighted when he heard this, but he became depressed immediately. Zhenwu had already said that he would not let him go to the bitter and cold places in the northwest. Then he thought that there were no outstanding generals in the court now, and he added a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he wished that the northwest would change immediately.
After a moment of worrying about gains and losses, he immediately stopped his mind. Since Zhenwu still had this purpose, there was no need to dissuade him. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Emperor, the people in Shaanxi and Gansu are fierce, and I am really worried. I beg you to follow the entourage."
Zhenwu couldn't help but smile. He knew exactly what the old Thirteenth brother was thinking. He said immediately: "Thirteenth brother doesn't have to follow him. I am not in Beijing, you have to be in charge of the capital for me. You and my brother, both literary and military, complement each other."
After hearing this, Yinxiang was greatly disappointed. He was both civil and military, and he wanted to keep himself to check and balance with his brother. Thinking about it, Lao Shi was in the new army of the Imperial Guards, and Zhenwu was really worried. He wanted to go to the northwest to fight, but he ignored this. He hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey the order."
Zhenwu smiled slightly before saying, "The new army of the Imperial Guard has limited troops and insufficient training time. If it changes in an instant, the Eight Banners will inevitably be transferred. Can the Thirteenth Brother draw out ten thousand elite troops who will not let me embarrass me to join the war?"
