Chapter 312 The Pavilion Leader was hung up again!
In the Hanjiacang.
Doulu Qinwang is working with the officials of the Eastern Palace.
His internal position is the leader of the inner guard pavilion, and his external position is that of the prince's right concubine. He is the fourth rank in charge, in charge of the Dian Book Shop, and is in charge of attendants, presentations, and memorials.
This is a high-ranking and low-level position, which is completely incomparable with the power that the leader of the inner guard can have. However, because Doulu Qinwang was unpopular in the inner guard and his prestige was dwindling, he had to lick his face and join the East Palace sequence.
At this time, he was walking around, shouting loudly, and leaving his inspection figure everywhere in the warehouse.
In comparison, the presence of other officials in the East Palace is much lower, and they are all immersed in their work. Prince Xi Ma Wang Renbiao took the warehouse receipts from past years and personally urged the staff of the Ministry of Household Affairs to verify the reserves: "The missing share of this grain cellar has not yet been
Find out?"
The clerk from the Ministry of Household Affairs hesitated, but Wang Renbiao looked at the man deeply and said nothing, but just recorded it.
Doulu Qinwang was not completely putting on a show, he was still observing silently, thinking that once he became the Minister of Justice, he would punish corrupt officials vigorously and take the opportunity to increase his authority.
The Ministry of Accounts is rich in wealth and money, so it is undoubtedly a candidate for surgery. He seemed to have casually approached him: "Wang Xima, is there a big shortage of storage?"
Wang Renbiao replied: "Currently, according to the statistics of various grain cellars, there is a total shortage of about 550,000 shi."
This shortfall is not small, and Doulu Qinwang cheered up: "This kind of corruption must be severely punished!"
Wang Renbiao nodded: "Now the water transportation is smooth, and rice and grain from the Jianghuai area are continuously supplied to the Eastern Capital. While ensuring that the treasury is full, we must really catch corruption."
Doulu Qinwang knew that this was the prince's confidant, and he had always been loyal, so he hurriedly said: "If I can take charge of the Ministry of Punishments, I will definitely implement the upright constitution, clarify the punishments and regulations, and never let the thieves who violate our laws of the Tang Dynasty go unpunished."
These words were very explicit, but Wang Renbiao did not respond.
Doulu Qinwang rolled his eyes, looking at the warehouse filled with a lot of grain and rice, and deliberately showed worry: "In the past, the warehouse was put into the warehouse in winter, but now it is put into the warehouse in the spring, will there be any problems with the storage of the grain?"
Wang Renbiao then said: "Please don't worry, Mr. Doulu Pavilion. Please see that these cellar walls are dug and dried with fire. Plant ash is spread at the bottom of the cellar, and wooden boards are laid on top. Mats are spread on top of the wooden boards.
After laying out the grain, spread out the mat."
"With this method of two layers of mats sandwiching a layer of chaff, and then sealing it with soil, the grain cellar can be insulated from moisture and heat, making it less likely to rot. The grain can be stored for ten years without deteriorating..."
Wang Renbiao obviously had a deep understanding and did not brag at all. Hanjiacang was historically the "No. 1 granary in the world" in the Tang Dynasty.
During Li Longji's Tianbao reign, the total amount of grain stored in large granaries across the country was more than 12 million shi. In just one warehouse in Hanjiacang, there were nearly 6 million shi of grain. One warehouse accounted for nearly half of the world's grain.
Although it has not reached that point yet, the advantages of this granary have been reflected, but it still lacks a lot in terms of personnel management.
Wang Renbiao pointed to the small tree on the sealing soil and said: "This kind of small tree is also a monitoring method. If the grain inside becomes hot and sprouts, the small tree will wither and turn yellow, and the sealing soil will be removed immediately."
"But we discovered before that Hanjiacang officials were slack and actually allowed the food to rot. Those people have been investigated and dealt with, and they will not be lenient..."
Doulu Qinwang nodded repeatedly: "This is exactly how it should be, with such control, the disasters in the pass will be calmed down soon. Only with food in hand can the people's hearts be at peace. Your Highness will grasp the basics of people's livelihood. You are really governing the country well!"
He looked at Wang Renbiao's focused expression and thought that when he relied on Empress Wu, everything he did was a struggle for power. Seeing what everyone in the East Palace was doing at this time, he couldn't help but secretly sigh: "What they do is followed by action. The Crown Prince and Empress Wu are indeed different..."
It was not that he was a completely indifferent person, but as he grew older, he became lost in power disputes. After witnessing this scene, he thought sincerely: "When I become the Minister of Justice, I will do more."
Real facts!"
At this moment, a fast horse came from outside, and the news came. Soon everyone began to whisper. After Wang Renbiao heard the news, his expression also changed: "The dignified Minister of Household Affairs is harboring thieves?"
Doulu Qinwang had already walked aside. Hearing this, he was startled and asked quickly: "Which minister of household affairs is he?"
Wang Ren expressed surprise: "Shilang Gao is not in good health and did not come to the capital. Naturally, something happened to Shilang Yang."
Doulu Qinwang walked over quickly. He had been in Hanjiacang today and had no idea what was going on in the outside world. He was very anxious: "Shilang Yang is upright and sincere. How can he harbor a thief? Has he been framed?"
Wang Renbiao shook his head: "I don't want to believe it either, but the two thieves were caught by the inner guard Li Jiyi from his house. One of them even pretended to be a maid in the inner house, and a servant testified that Yang Shilang had known about them.
existence, and the deliberate arrangements are made, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be questioned..."
Hearing Li Yuanfang's name, Doulu Qinwang's expression froze. When he asked again, his heart sank even more, and he murmured: "Is there really no room for change?"
When he finished speaking, he noticed that Wang Renbiao was looking over, and he quickly clarified himself: "Wang Xima, don't misunderstand me. Yang Taichu and I were childhood friends, but we haven't been in contact for a long time. I didn't expect that this person would do such a thing.
well……"
"My condolences from the leader of Doulu Pavilion!"
Wang Renbiao comforted him, then stopped caring about the matter and went back to work.
However, the word "sorrow" deeply hurt Doulu Qinwang's heart, and he no longer had the spirit to show off, so he left quickly.
Yang Zhirou was the biggest ally who helped him ascend to the position of Minister of Justice. Now that he is mourning, shouldn't his future also have to be mourned?
When he thought of Cui Xiuye becoming the minister of the Ministry of Justice with Li Yuanfang's acquiescence, and with the feuding relationship between the two families, Doulu Qinwang sighed: "I'd better go back to Chang'an... It's a pity that the Queen is no longer here, otherwise with her methods, how could it be possible?"
Are these people allowed to be arrogant?"
Hanjiacang learned the lesson of the Sui Dynasty when the granary was built outside the city and was captured by Li Mi. It was built directly in the inner palace and became the appearance of a small city. Douluqin looked out of the Cangcheng and headed towards Xuanrenmen in the east.
He was about to go back home to pack up his travels, but was stopped by the imperial army.
The imperial guards checked his fish talisman and did not let him go: "Leader of Doulu Pavilion, the internal guard Li Jiyi has been looking for your whereabouts."
Douluqin watched his pupils shrink and said warily: "What does Li Yuanfang want from me?"
The Imperial Guard said: "Li Jiyi has important matters to ask the leader of Doulu Pavilion. Please go to the Imperial City to guard the palace."
Doulu Qinwang felt humiliated and became furious: "How outrageous! I am the leader of the cabinet and he is the envoy. Why should he give orders to me? Is there any imperial law regarding the superiority and inferiority of superiors and subordinates?"
The Imperial Guards hurriedly clasped their fists: "The purpose of reporting Douluge Leader is not that Li Jiyi is giving orders, but to offend Yang Zhirou, who wrote down a crime and accused Douluge Leader of five major crimes. Li Jiyi went to Douluge Leader to confront him and clarify the facts.
.”
Doulu Qinwang was stunned: "Yang Taichu accused me? How could he... No, he really would!"
As expected of being good friends, they knew each other's character very well. Doulu Qinwang immediately realized that Yang Zhirou was seeking survival from death, dragging people into trouble and messing up the situation, and he became the victim.
Doulu Qinwang's face turned pale and he took a deep breath: "Tell me, what crime did Yang Zhirou accuse me of?"
Although this person seemed to be doomed, he was still a fourth-grade high-ranking official. The imperial army did not dare to be rude and said respectfully: "I don't know about this, but it is of great importance. I hope that the leaders will not embarrass me and others."
Doulu Qinwang wanted to embarrass himself, but he knew that that would only make him guilty. He tried to regain his composure, nodded and said: "It doesn't matter, you are doing your duty faithfully. I will return to the inner guard."
The imperial guard returned the fish talisman, Doulu Qinwang squeezed it and walked into the imperial city.
"Five major crimes... five major crimes..."
Along the way, his brain began to spin rapidly, counting down the embarrassing things he had done before, especially the embarrassing things Yang Zhirou might know.
The noble disciples of the high-ranking sects in the pass used to rely on their huge power. If we really want to investigate carefully, no one is completely clean, and Doulu Qinwang is no exception.
He quickly thought of four more serious crimes. When he was thinking about what the fifth crime was, his expression suddenly changed and he blurted out: "It can't be auspicious, right?"
"Yes, it is auspicious!"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
Doulu Qin looked back and saw the majestic Li Yan coming over with two internal guards, and said calmly: "Two years ago, Qizhou presented auspicious signs, which was an ancient glazed Maitreya Buddha. The jade in his arms had the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix.
Hug, the sign of grace and good harmony indicates that the two saints are coming to court, and they agree with the emperor. The queen is very happy, and she also ordered the Buddhists to hold a Dharma ceremony. According to Yang Shilang, that matter was handled by the leader of Doulu Pavilion.
of."
Douluqinwang denied it flatly: "This is slander! Slander!"
Li Yan ignored him: "Xiangrui is sensitive and should not be touched lightly. But at that time, the leader of Doulu Pavilion had just surrendered to the queen and had to do something. The queen hinted and left.
"It is true that the appearance of auspiciousness has greatly diluted Helan Minzhi's previous wild and unruly behavior, and restored a lot of reputation for the queen among the people. People are indeed easy to be deceived in this regard, especially with so many people who believe in Buddhism.
…”
"But then a disaster broke out in Guan, and the queen was fighting for power at the expense of the lives of the people, and her reputation fell back to the bottom. The so-called auspiciousness of being in harmony with the emperor became a joke!"
"Li Yuanfang you!"
Doulu Qinwang was about to scold him, but then he thought that this person dared to say such a thing in front of the queen, so he immediately closed his mouth and his face turned pale.
As expected, Li Yan continued: "Building momentum is just momentum building after all. It can have temporary effects, but over time, it still depends on the actual actions."
"For example, His Royal Highness the Prince also promoted peace and prosperity early on and always paid attention to people's livelihood, which is why he has the prestige of his subjects now."
"Now that the Queen lives deep in the palace and is unable to interfere in the affairs of the government, your Majesty has no intention of deposing the Queen. So, who is responsible for the heavy casualties in Guanzhong, Doulu Pavilion leader, which treacherous officials do you think will be shouldered?"
Doulu Qinwang opened his mouth, but was finally speechless. His body swayed, his legs went weak, and he fell to the ground.
Li Yan waved his hand, and two of his men on the left and right forcibly helped Doulu Qinwang up and took him to the inner prison.
Ever since.
Different prison, same cabinet leader, different fourth-grade official, same opening remarks: "Hang Doulu Qinwang for me!!"
