Chapter 1336 What's the point of deception?
"Besides, this is the case every year. Should the court allocate funds every year? Jinyang Prefecture has suffered a lot of floods, but the court has allocated funds for several years. Has there been no improvement? What are the money allocated every year for? Emperor,
I beg to send someone to Jinyang Prefecture to investigate the matter thoroughly again.”
Someone left the list again, but it was the head of the Tongzheng Department, the Tongzheng Envoy, and said, "Your Majesty, it is also necessary for Lord Du to find out this matter again, but the journey to Jinyang Prefecture is long, and it will take two o'clock in the past.
Yes, it will take a long time to delay, but I am afraid that the flood will become more and more serious and will also cause unstable people!”
Du Zhengyan: "Mr. Liu's concerns are reasonable, but the solution is very simple, so take the money with you! If the situation is true and disaster relief is indeed needed, then pay the money. If the situation is not true, then bring the money back and at the same time
To punish the crime of deceiving related people!”
Lord Liu, the envoy of the Tongzheng Dynasty, looked a little unhappy, "Du, don't intimidate me, we are all sharing the worries of the emperor, how can we deceive? Although your method is good, it is not feasible. I heard that I will lead to Jinyang Prefecture.
The only official road was hit by the flood, mud and stone blocked the official road, making it difficult for pedestrians to pass, let alone carriages?"
Du Zhengyan narrowed his eyes: "This is such a coincidence. At this time, the official road happened to be destroyed?"
Lord Liu's face was calm, "I have said before that Jinyang Prefecture has suffered severe floods and there are more than one road to destroy."
Du Zhengyan glanced at Liao Qing and found that the other party was listening carefully. He felt relieved and said, "Then what should I do if I want to transport the silver? The court can pass the silver, but I can't investigate the flood.
pass?"
Lord Liu: "If the emperor ordered the silver, then Jinyang Mansion could start construction in advance. It was just a period of time on credit. When the road was repaired, the silver could naturally be shipped over. I believe someone would like to do it. But if you want to
If you drag the silver over with a carriage, you will naturally not be able to pass."
Liao Qing listened to it with great care.
He found that these officials were indeed able to speak, at least more than he could speak.
A simple thing can be talked about for a long time.
Emperor Zhu was too lazy to listen to their arguments, so he asked how damaged the road was and how many days it would be repaired?
Lord Liu answered for half a month.
Emperor Zhu then issued an order:
He ordered the local government to clear the official road within ten days, and then asked the officials of the Ministry of Personnel to prepare. After the road was repaired, he went to Jinyang Prefecture to provide disaster relief and find out the situation.
I still adopted Du Zhengyan’s opinion.
Du Zhengyan and Liao Qing went to court together.
"Qing'er, what did you see when Zhang Tongzheng said?" Du Zhengyan asked.
Liao Qing thought for a while and said, "This Tongzheng Department may have taken advantage of others and is very concerned about this matter."
Du Zhengyan smiled, "Not bad! I saw the key point at once. Tongzhengshi is just a place to pass on messages, and he is responsible for explaining the meaning to the emperor, but he is so enthusiastic. Why is it for?"
Could it be that Tongmasato's life is full of enthusiasm and willing to help others?
Ghostly believe!
Due to the responsibility, you can win the recognition of the court a little, but if you repeatedly debate for Jinyang Mansion and even offend him, the celebrity in front of the emperor, it would be a bit intriguing.
Therefore, there are high probability that the Tongzhengsi has taken over the benefits of Jinyang Prefecture.
Otherwise, everyone is not a relative or acquaintance, so hard work?
Du Zhengyan didn’t know the background of the two families.
"Jinyang Prefecture was once a fief of the Marquis of Jin'an. Such places also had to pay taxes to the court in name, but its geographical environment was very bad, with very much water, and water disasters often occur in one year.
It doesn’t cost much money and food, but instead requires the court to provide disaster relief, which is almost ineffective, so it has never been paid much attention to by the court.
But it is a mansion, and the Marquis of Jin'an enjoys great autonomy here. After three generations of inheritance and management for many years, it cannot be underestimated. Now, Jin Yuming, the current governor of Jinyang Prefecture, is also a descendant of the Marquis of Jin'an.
The title is gone, but the foundation remains. The court has investigated it before, but I suspect that the results of the investigation are difficult to believe, so this time, I insist on investigating it again."
Liao Qing nodded, thinking,
Jinyang Prefecture turned out to be a relatively special place.
But why did Du Zhengyan tell him this?
"This time, the Censorate and the Ministry of Personnel jointly investigated, and it is likely that you will not let you go. If this matter goes well, it will be a good idea, but I'm afraid that I still can't find anything. By that time, I'm afraid you will let you go.
.” Du Zhengyan said.
I see.
Cheap dad is to familiarize himself with the situation in advance.
"What is the magistrate Jin Yuming?"
Du Zhengyan shook his head, "Jin Yuming is a very low-key person. If he hadn't asked the court for money every year, I'm afraid most people wouldn't remember him. Jinyang Mansion to his generation is still his fief, only when he first took office
, I have been to Beijing once, so it is hard to say what kind of person he is. It is not good to guess randomly, it will affect your judgment. If you really want to send you there in the future, you can investigate again."
The father and son communicated for a while, and then they separated. One went to the Ministry of Revenue and the other went to the Censorate.
When he arrived at the Censorate, the old Censor introduced Liao Qing to everyone.
Officials of the fourth rank or above have met in the court, but there are still some things below, such as officials, etc., that have never been seen.
The biggest official in the Censorate is the Censor. The Censor's hair is gray and friendly. Well, at least Liao Qing's sense of identity is like this.
In fact, everyone in the Censorate was kind and everyone looked at Liao Qing very enthusiastically.
The person in front of me is very powerful, very popular, and has a bright future. I want to get to know each other well, at least I have to make a familiar face.
However, after a while, they were driven away by the old censor.
"Go and go, go, do whatever you should do, you will have more days in the future, so I have to cherish time, old man."
When the people dispersed, the old censor asked Liao Qing, "The emperor's decree has been issued, and our censorate has to send someone to go. Do you want to go?"
Liao Qing was a little surprised. Can you still discuss who to send?
Laodu Censor smiled meaningfully. If you change to someone else, of course there is no need to discuss it, but Liao Qing is different.
See if your hair is on your head?
One by one, they are urging themselves to retire and return home!
The emperor appointed Liao Qing as the deputy censor, and the meaning was already very obvious, and he was here to take over his rank.
He doesn't want to be old and offend such a rising star.
Since the old censor gave face so much, Liao Qing pondered for a moment, "Sir, I have handed the emperor a memorial and plan to go back to my hometown for a while in the near future."
After hearing this, the old censor didn't know what to say.
