The light in the political hall is bright.

The fluttering curtains blocked the mosquitoes outside the window, but allowed the faint fragrance of chrysanthemum and osmanthus to permeate the main hall of the Political Affairs Hall, making people feel refreshed.

"Prime Minister Qin, you are the right prime minister. What suspicion can alarm you and make you come here to look for me?"

Li Qian sat on the main seat and looked at Qin Hui with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this matter has a great impact. I heard that Xingyang and Bianzhou were plunged into riots because of this."

Qin Hui cupped his hands and said: "I heard that this incident has been discussed by many people, the rumors are rampant, and many people have some opinions about the imperial court because of this..."

"view?"

Li Qian pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "What kind of eucalyptus can actually make people have opinions about the imperial court?"

Qin Hui bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, this is a land deed transaction that Prime Minister Yan tried in Yuanwu County a while ago."

"The sinner Liu Shitang planted spies and eyes in the county government to seek personal gain, and was eventually expelled from his position by Prime Minister Yan."

"It turns out to be this piece of eucalyptus."

Li Qian suddenly realized it and said with a smile: "The governor of Xingyang County has written a memorial to me, and Prime Minister Yan also told me about this, but I still feel that his punishment is too light."

"Liu Shitang is so audacious that he dares to manipulate the yamen and meddle with the court's laws."

"I am now thinking about whether I should reply to the stern prime minister and take this thief to prison and kill him at a later date."

Qin Hui's expression remained unchanged, but he just cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise, this matter is entirely up to your Majesty's discretion."

"It's just that I have heard some rumors recently, which are people's opinions on this matter."

Li Qian nodded lightly and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, Prime Minister Qin, I also want to hear what the people think of this person."

Qin Hui raised his head and glanced at Li Qian, and replied coquettishly: "Your Majesty, based on some irresponsible gossip I have heard, in a nutshell, some people think that Liu Shentang is this person. His behavior broke through the existing legal and moral standards, undermined fairness, justice and the rules of the court. With the help of evil means, many innocent people suffered unjust losses and injustice. He should be punished more severely on the basis of the existing punishment. It is an appropriate punishment. Some people may think that the punishment of Liu Testang is fair and appropriate. This is also an exploration of the sentencing of this complex case under complex circumstances. However, there may be other people who take this approach. In order to express their disapproval attitude that has not been clearly expressed, these people who have not expressed their opinions publicly may believe that Liu Xutang's bad behavior may have slightly touched the boundaries of the court's laws, but at the moment it has not caused any harm to the original Wu County government and the people. Irreversible loss of money and reputation..."

"stop!"

Li Gan's head swelled twice, and he stopped Qin Hui in time: "Prime Minister Qin, what exactly do you want to say?"

Qin Hui raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I just want to ask, Prime Minister Yan and Lord He both said that it was His Majesty who prohibited the sale and purchase of land deeds. Is this true?"

Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily he shouted in time.

Otherwise, based on Qin Hui's way of speaking, the progress bar would probably not be halfway through.

"real."

Li Qian nodded: "I was the one who ordered...instructed them to do that."

"I see."

Qin Hui suddenly understood, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has considered it carefully. I have no other questions. Please leave."

Seeing that he was so determined to withdraw, Li Qian was intrigued by Qin Hui.

Isn't he here to be a lobbyist?

"Prime Minister Qin, is this why you came here to ask?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Hui sighed: "Rumors are spreading now, and I am also worried about whether the two imperial envoys are using His Majesty's name to seek personal gain."

"Since that's not the case, that's fine."

"Did Prime Minister Yan and the Heqing family seek personal gain in the disaster area?" Li Qian asked curiously.

"this……"

Qin Hui hesitated and replied: "I don't know."

"However, there have been some rumors recently in the capital and many counties."

Li Qian didn't ask any more questions, but nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Qin Hui's eyes were solemn and he nodded: "Please excuse me."

"Prime Minister Qin, walk slowly."

The old eunuch led Qin Hui and slowly exited the palace.

Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi also walked out of the side room.

"Your Majesty, what does Prime Minister Qin mean?"

Wu Meiniang lightly frowned and asked softly: "It seems that he wants to speak for the big families in Xingyang and Bianzhou, but he actually resigned directly."

Lu Pheasant also nodded: "Now that Prime Minister Qin's position is uncertain, if someone else is dissatisfied with the actions of Prime Minister Yan and Lord He..."

Li Qian nodded lightly: "Qin Hui came today not to persuade me, but to test my thoughts."

He looked calmly at Qin Hui's retreating back: "If he is also staring at those millions of acres of fertile land, he must have some tricks up his sleeve..."

He didn't know if Qin Hui had any back-up moves, but in recent days the capital was indeed quiet.

Various rumors abounded, and Lu Bu brought a lot of news from outside the palace.

Some people say that He Shen and Yan Song were working to provide disaster relief in Xingyang, and they made a lot of money every day. The two of them were competing to collect money, and they were competing to see who could collect more money.

Others say that these two men are no longer satisfied with collecting money, and are desperately enclosing land in the disaster area, turning many lands into their private fields, and many victims have become homeless.

As for building such a stone embankment, it is a waste of money and money, and the whole country is working hard just to ensure that their own land will no longer be flooded...

"It's even more outrageous, foster father!"

Lu Bu gritted his teeth and said, "It's just that Bu is afraid that if he says it out, your foster father will be angry."

"What's there to be angry about?"

Li Qian smiled and said, "I'm not a petty person, but it doesn't matter."

Lu Bu hesitated for a moment, then nodded bitterly and said: "There are even some villains who say that this is a cowardly king and a traitorous minister who complement each other. All the money collected by these two people in the disaster area was brought to the capital and given to Your Majesty as a filial piety."

"They also say that there is a big ship carrying gold and silver treasures every day. Every night during the curfew, they arrive at the dock and transport the boxes of gold, silver and rare treasures they have plundered to the palace."

"Some people say that the land occupied by the two imperial envoys in the disaster area was all given to you as a filial piety. The reason why those two traitorous officials did not allow the people to buy more land was to dedicate all the land to you. !”

"Now the common people in Beijing, no matter what, you have everything..."

He glanced at Li Qian secretly, and his voice gradually became softer. It was obvious that the content behind was even more unbearable...

"What nonsense! It's all nonsense!"

When the old eunuch heard boxes of gold and silver being transported in, he was already trembling with anger. Hearing this, he couldn't hold back any longer and started jumping and screaming excitedly!

If so much property was brought in by riding a horse, how could he not know?

This is complete nonsense!

If you receive money, then let's forget about it.

But the problem is that there is no money to ride on the horse! Not even a hair!

Lu Pheasant and Wu Meiniang also clenched their fists, with a flush of anger appearing on their pink faces.

"Your Majesty, such rumors definitely did not arise out of thin air, but someone was behind them to add fuel to the flames."

Wu Meiniang's eyes were full of evil, and she said angrily: "If we find this person, we will not let him go lightly!"

"Your Majesty, I finally know what it means to make money through public opinion, and the rumors are terrible."

Lu Zhi hugged Li Qian's arm tightly, and his slender jade fingers as clear as green onions were deeply dug into Li Qian's yellow robe: "It's just a matter that has no basis and no reason, and it can be deliberately done." The fabrication was so vivid that it seemed like it was true, and the people in the capital actually believed it."

Her pretty eyes were slightly red, obviously feeling unfair for Li Qian's experience: "Before I entered the palace, there were many rumors among the people, and they slandered His Majesty in every possible way."

"Now it seems that it must be all fabricated by intentional people."

"Your Majesty is absolutely right."

The old eunuch immediately agreed with great approval: "Your Majesty is naturally heroic, has a broad mind, and is extremely wise. Those people who are trying to smear His Majesty are just in vain. Slowly, people with discerning minds like you will discover that, Your Majesty is a famous king through the ages!"

Li Qian glared at the old eunuch awkwardly. Don't you know if it was slander?

Lu Bu turned his head and looked at the old eunuch in shock. Is this his basic skill?

One sentence can not only take care of the adoptive father, but also compliment the empress without leaving any trace. Such a profound skill...

Once again he felt the gap between himself and the old eunuch.

"Okay, there's no need to be angry about this."

Li Qian comforted the two concubines and shook his head gently: "These rumors are all loopholes. As long as you think about it for a moment, no one will believe it."

"I rule the world, how can I covet their lands?"

In other words, the whole world belongs to the emperor, so this rumor is not very tenable.

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately said anxiously: "Father, you must take this seriously!"

"You don't believe it, we don't believe it, but the people outside like these kinds of rumors the most! You don't know how mysterious what is being spread in the capital right now!"

Li Qian was also stunned for a moment. It is human nature to like gossip, and what Lu Bu said seemed very possible.
