Chapter 86 Yanchuan urgent report! Beat someone in front of the Qingdong Hou Hall!
Chang Sui.
Tianze Hall.
Emperor Yuan Xiu is sitting on the dragon throne, and all the civil and military officials are standing in awe!
"The Northern Expedition has reached its most critical moment, and we need money."
"The Xishan Dam is facing a shutdown and money is also needed."
"There are hundreds of people in Chengliang, and they are all eagerly waiting for the court to provide relief. They still need money!"
"Silver! Silver!! Silver!!!"
Yuan Xiu stood up, paced around anxiously in front of the dragon chair, and shouted: "Tell me, what should I do?!"
A civil servant came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. Things have priorities. As this is an urgent matter, we can avoid the important and take the easy first."
"Avoid the heavy and take the light?" Yuan Xiuqi smiled and said: "Then tell me, which one is heavier and which one is lighter?"
"Of course the Northern Expedition is the most important!"
"Fuck you! Summer has just arrived. If the Xishan Dam is stopped, the flood will come in less than two months. Then part of the dam built before will be washed away. Not to mention the court's money is wasted, how many people will be affected by this.
Their homes were destroyed and they were displaced? The rebellious people in Chengliang have already been overloaded. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. What if the court still refuses to appease them and forces them to rebel??"
Yuan Xiu cursed: "These three things are not serious, they may seriously damage the vitality of the Dajing Dynasty!"
"You guy... you are just a sycophant who is bringing disaster to the country by being conciliatory at the critical moment!"
"Here comes someone! Drag him out and behead him!!"
The man was so frightened that he knelt down and shouted for mercy, but to no avail. All the officials were too frightened to say anything, and the guards came in and dragged him out.
"Ah!!!" A scream came into the palace and echoed in the ears of all the officials.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
All civil and military officials were nervous.
Yuan Xiu's eyes suddenly fell on Xu Shouli's face, and he said solemnly: "Qingdong Hou, do you have any good ideas in your household department?"
At this kind of court meeting, all the six ministers and ministers were present. Logically speaking, when the emperor asked the Hubu's opinion, it was the minister who should respond. However, Yuan Xiu directly named Xu Shouli, the minister of Hubu, and Xu Shouli could not hide.
Xu Shouli came out and said seriously: "For the relief work in Chengliang, the Ministry of Revenue has sent people to comfort the people the day before yesterday. If the effect is not good, I am willing to go to the disaster area in person to implement the court's policy and spread the court's sympathy."
"As for the Northern Expedition and the Xishan Dam... I believe that the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry should immediately formulate an emergency plan and divide the funding into batches, so that it is within the affordability of the court and prevents things from coming to a halt."
"Master Xu, you said it lightly!"
Luo Mingyi, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out and said: "The Xishan Dam has been short of money for more than a day or two. What are the batches? Why don't you let me continue to delay?!"
Tie Ge, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, also said: "This is even more difficult for me. General Wang has already entered the territory of Yedan, and his morale is high. Will he listen to the written articles of the Ministry of War? He only cares about the money of the imperial court.
Can you keep up? If you can’t keep up, it will delay your opportunity!”
"Two adults, please be patient."
Xu Shouli waved his hands, as if he was prepared, and said slowly: "I just asked you two to find a way to slow down, and I didn't really want you to drag it out forever."
"I have not been the Minister of Household Affairs for a long time, but I have already found ways to generate income and reduce expenditures. All I am missing is time. If you can get this time for me, I can get money for you."
"The surplus money in the national treasury cannot satisfy the three parties at the same time, so we can only let the three parties wait for the plum blossom to quench their thirst. Otherwise, what should we do? Do you have a better way?"
Luo Mingyi said in surprise: "Can Mr. Xu really get money?"
Xu Shouli clasped his fists at Yuan Xiu and said seriously: "How can you lie in front of the palace?"
"Okay, just do as Qingdong Hou said!" Yuan Xiu set the tone, his expression softened a little, and he sat down on the dragon chair again, saying: "Three adults, I am waiting for your good news!"
"Report! Urgent report——"
At this moment, a guard ran in from outside the door. Regardless of the lack of etiquette in front of the palace, he almost glided to the bottom of the steps on his knees and raised an urgent message above his head.
Seeing this, the eunuch Lu Lu quickly brought the urgent report and presented it.
All the civil and military officials looked at each other, and the atmosphere that had just eased became tense again.
What happened?
Has there been a change in the Northern Expedition?
Yuan Xiu was sitting and reading the emergency report. After reading it, he stood up involuntarily. Finally, he crumpled the emergency report into a ball and threw it down the steps.
"Bastard! Bastard!!"
"Dangtang is accompanying the capital Yanchuan, and something like this happened!!"
The civil servant closest to the steps, Dr. Guanglu Mu Shanyue, quickly picked up the urgent report, opened it and saw that it was a letter written in blood!
When Xu Shouli heard the word Yanchuan, his ears twitched and he couldn't help but walk to Mu Shanyue.
When he saw the handwriting and signature, he was stunned.
It was actually written by my son Xu An!!!
Su Wansan, the richest man in Yanchuan, rebelled!
Murder and arson!
Surrounded the Marquis Mansion!
Xu An fought bloody battles before escaping to the darkroom with his family and almost died!
Mu Shanyue was an old man with a gray beard. He raised his head and glanced at Xu An's expression, and softly comforted him: "Master Marquis, don't be too worried. I'll be fine if nothing happens to you."
"His Majesty!!"
Xu Shouli couldn't hear it, so he immediately walked to the bottom of the steps and said loudly: "Please lead the troops to Yanchuan and destroy the Su family!"
After hearing this, all the officials whispered among themselves, and they all knew the contents of the urgent report.
Wen Tai's position was also closest to the steps. He read the full text of the blood letter clearly next to Mu Shanyue, silently took a step back, and glanced at the crowd of officials.
His disciples all expressed their understanding and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"As soon as Su Wansan introduced the merchant, wouldn't he tell you why he rebelled and whether he had the ability? Don't listen to one person's words on such a big matter!"
Xu Shouli has always been a very restrained and calm person. At this time, he became furious and said: "Can my son lie and deceive the emperor?"
"Master Xu, there is no need to be angry." Du Xuhe responded with a smile and said: "Perhaps there was a conflict between Mr. Xu Xiaohou and Su Wansan, and Mr. Xu suffered a loss. He thought that Mr. Xu was an official in the court, so he caused this incident.
out."
"Nonsense!" Xu Shouli glared angrily and shouted: "Although my son is a bit dandy, he is not without brains. How could he do such ridiculous things?!"
Du Xuhe said: "Young Master is still young. You are a young man. What can't you do when you get angry?"
"Fuck you! He's already twenty and he's still young? All the men in your family are young!!!"
Xu Shouli couldn't bear it anymore and kicked Du Xuhe down with a kick, then rushed towards him and wanted to slap him in the face.
Seeing this, all the civil and military officials took a deep breath.
Today's Holy Emperor has a weird temper and often gets angry. There are only a handful of officials who dare to beat people in front of the palace.
The Marquis Qingdong, who has always had a good temper, actually beats people in front of the palace?!
He is really eager to protect the calf!
All the officials looked towards the emperor.
Yuan Xiu said angrily: "What are you looking at? Is there an answer on my face? Stop the fight quickly!"
Only then did the officials pull Xu Shouli away.
Du Xuhe hurriedly crawled to Yuan Xiu and shouted: "Your Majesty, although Su Wansan has no official or title, he is a big tax collector in Yanchuan. Why not send someone to Yanchuan to investigate. If this is really the case, just a merchant, the imperial court
If you say it will be destroyed, it will be destroyed.”
"If this hadn't happened, the imperial court could have made a big fuss out of this matter and asked Su Wansan to be grateful and donate to the Xishan Dam or Chengliang disaster relief..."
Hearing this, Yuan Xiu's eyes lit up.
Su Wansan, some people say you are rebelling, but the court doesn’t believe it!
Especially our Majesty, who has a clear mind and knows that you are being slandered.
Aren’t you embarrassed that the above supports you so much?
After being convinced by Du Xuhe, Yuan Xiu waved his hand to interrupt Xu Shouli who was about to speak, and said: "Then..."
"Urgent report! Urgent report! Urgent report from Yanchuan——"
At this time, another person came with an urgent message.
When Yuan Xiu opened the emergency report and read it, he immediately became furious and rushed down the steps to slap the emergency report on Du Xuhe's face.
"Look! See for yourself!!"
Du Xuhe spread out the urgent newspaper, and people around him gathered around him.
Deng Fugui, the Minister of Punishment of the Eastern Capital, Li Shu, the Minister of Rites, Li Dai, the city guard, and more than 30 officials from Yanchuan, large and small, jointly submitted the memorial——
