Afterwards, when all the ministers saw that the matter was done, they all resigned to the emperor. The emperor was also worried at this time, so he did not leave them alone and waved his hand for them to leave.
So Jia Ke and others exited the Yangxin Hall and returned to the military aircraft office.
After returning to the military aircraft, Jia Ke held the imperial edict in his hand and said to several others: "My lords, the emperor's edict has now been issued. This is a matter for the Ministry of Revenue. We will send the edict directly to the Ministry of Revenue and let them carry out it themselves.
Just deal with it. If they don't get food until the fifth day of June, we'll figure it out again. What do you think?"
The other people naturally had no objections. Everyone had a lot of things to do, so how could they be in the mood to take special care of him.
Liu Yu stood up and said to Jia Ke: "What Mr. Jia said is exactly what he said. He asked the Minister of Hubu to handle this matter. I still have some friendship with the Minister of Hubu. I wonder if Mr. Jia can be accommodating. I will personally issue the imperial edict."
Send it to the Ministry of Finance."
Jia Ke naturally knew that Liu Yu had a close friendship with Liu Wan, the Minister of Household Affairs. Moreover, the two of them were the emperor's right-hand men.
Liu Yu's trip was probably to remind Liu Wan not to take it lightly and to handle errands carefully. Jia Ke had no scruples about this. If Liu Wan could really listen to Liu Yu's words, he would be able to transport the grain to the capital as soon as possible.
What happened in Shaanxi would save many lives. There was no need for him to stop it.
"Since Mr. Liu is willing to take the trouble to go, then I will be lazy." After Jia Ke finished speaking, he raised the imperial edict high above his head and sent it to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu also bowed his head respectfully to receive the imperial edict, and then said to Jia Ke: "My lords, it's getting late. I'm going to the Ministry of Finance now."
Jia Ke and others all said: "It's okay for Mr. Liu to go, we will have to go to the Yamen in a while."
So Liu Yu hurriedly left the military aircraft office.
When Jia Ke saw him leaving, he turned around and said to Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu: "Master Tian needs to follow up on this matter. I'm afraid these people are dishonest and may cause some trouble in the end."
Tian Ye nodded after listening to the lecture. What he had to do this time was a big deal. It was for the lives of tens of millions of people in Shaanxi. He could no longer embarrass Jia Ke because of differences in personal factions.
"Don't worry, Mr. Jia, I will definitely pay attention to the movement of the grain storage road this time. If there is any trouble with them, I will take them first and then hand them over to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment."
Jia Ke thought for a while and then said: "I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to leave it to Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment. Since these people dare to do such a big thing, they must have some connections. What if they bribed the jailers and the guards came to kill someone?
If you silence them, our clues will finally be cut off."
Tian Ye was frightened for a while after hearing what Jia Ke said. It was just like Jia Ke said, if he was really killed and silenced, he would have to leave it alone in the end.
"Then what should we do according to Master Jia's words?"
"As far as I'm concerned, don't use the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple for now. If they have any trouble, report it to me directly. We won't touch them either. We'll send the news directly to the emperor and let's see how Long Live handles it."
Tian Ye thought for a moment and realized that Jia Ke was probably afraid of the mastermind behind this group of people. This time, not everyone could do the big fish behind the scenes.
Besides, Liu Yu said goodbye to everyone, left the military aircraft office, left the palace and went straight to the household department.
When Liu Yu arrived at the lobby of the Ministry of Hubu, the Minister of Hubu, Liu Wan, was doing Tai Chi with several officials.
These officials all come to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for money, but the funds are really tight this year. The money from the Ministry of Households can't wait to be divided into two halves and spent. Now that the year has just begun, there is no way to be lavish, otherwise everyone will have to drink the northwest wind at the end of the year.
.
As soon as Liu Wan saw Liu Yu, it was as if he saw a savior. The officials immediately said: "Today I have important things to discuss with the Minister of Civil Affairs. Please come back to what you talked about in a few days."
The officials still dared to pester the Minister of Hubu, but they were very respectful to the Minister of Libu, who was in charge of their destiny. Now that they saw him coming, they quickly stepped forward to salute him, and then bowed and left.
When Liu Wan saw these people leaving, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
Liu Yu smiled and said to him: "How come the dignified official minister is forced to be like this by asking for debts?"
Liu Wan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, don't laugh at me. I am living like a year now. I really regret that I agreed to this matter to the emperor."
After hearing what he said, Liu Yu's expression became serious again, "I'm afraid the things that are bothering you have just begun." After he finished speaking, he sent the imperial edict in front of Liu Wan.
Liu Wan received the imperial edict inexplicably, opened it and took a closer look. He was immediately frightened and sat on the ground. It turned out that Liu Wan had already known about the grain storage road.
Liu Yu looked at him and immediately showed anger on his face: "Did Brother Xian have to go through a few hands in this?"
Liu Wan immediately got up from the ground, came to Liu Yu and asked: "Brother, what is going on this time? The imperial court wants to transport so much grain and grass to the capital."
Liu Yu hated the iron and said: "I can't tell you the specific situation. I can only tell you that the 1.5 million loads of grain must arrive in Beijing on the fifth day of June. If there is no grain by then, your Ministry of Household Affairs will start from top to bottom."
Next, including the grain storage channel, I'm afraid it will be cleaned by the emperor."
Liu Wan is already sweating profusely. He has not done anything corrupt in this matter. It's just that this matter involves a member of the royal family. Although this man no longer has power, he is not that easy to mess with.
. If he is really pushed into a hurry, the Supreme Emperor will not be able to do much.
But what Liu Yu said this time was so serious that something might have happened in the court that he didn't know about. It seemed that the 1.5 million loads of grain had to be transported no matter what.
Liu Wan was already panicking at this time, and the sweat on his face kept flowing down. He really had no choice but to beg Liu Yu next to him: "Brother, please save me, let me get through this difficulty.
Please let me put this matter aside for a while. When I slowly collect all the food, I will certainly not forget my great kindness."
Liu Yu is helpless now. If only he knew about this matter, he could secretly suppress it for a while. But everyone at the most basic level understands this matter, even the emperor knows it clearly. I
There is no way to suppress this matter.
"My dear brother, listen to my words. Don't think about other things now. Go and collect food. This matter is not trivial. The imperial court must get this food no matter what. If the food near the capital is real,
If it's not enough, you can first transfer a batch from Jianghuai to cope with this time." Liu Yu vaguely told him the power of it, and even thought of a way for him, which was to demolish the east wall to make up for the west wall.
.
Liu Wan really had no choice. After all, the granary in the grain storage road was almost empty. How could he raise so much grain in a short period of time?
"Brother, I have to tell you the truth now. The grain storage road can't even get out a grain of grain. It's really impossible to fulfill the emperor's will." Liu Wan was extremely helpless and could only point out to Liu Yu.
Now that he tells the truth, Liu Yu still has a way to help him. If he conceals it, I'm afraid no one can save him in the end.
Liu Yu's veins are now exposed. He never expected that the people in the household department would be so bold. The autumn harvest has only been harvested for a few months. According to the records in the books, there should be at least 10 to 20 million tons of grain in the warehouse. There is actually
All disappeared in just a few months.
Liu Yu jumped into a rage and grabbed Liu Wan's chest, "Where is the food? Where has all the food gone? Do you people still want to die?"
Liu Wan was about to cry now, "Brother, I really can't do anything about it. I really can't afford to offend that man in the court. He had already done this many years ago.
It's just that the harvests are good everywhere in the world, so it's not exposed. Who would have thought that the imperial court would suddenly need such a large amount of food."
Liu Yu calmed down and asked: "Who is so powerful that can scare you like this?"
Liu Wan said a name with a painful expression: "King Zhongshun."
Liu Yu was also shocked. He did not expect that this matter was actually led by King Zhongshun. It seemed that it was indeed troublesome.
Since King Zhongshun was reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor, he lost the opportunity to seize the throne. He has been eating, drinking and having fun in the palace, spending money like water. Originally, if it was just like this, nothing big would happen.
Unexpectedly, the current emperor ascended the throne, which suddenly made King Zhongshun active again, leaving all his previous cautiousness behind.
However, everyone can understand this. You must know that this period of time has made King Zhongshun miserable. Although he seems to be living happily every day, in fact, for an ambitious prince, this is the greatest torture.
Now that the current emperor has ascended the throne, King Zhongshun can be active in the political arena again. You must know that the relationship between King Zhongshun and the current emperor is not normal. After the current emperor's mother passed away, the emperor was fostered by King Zhongshun's mother-in-law. The two of them can
They grew up together, and there is no difference between them and brothers from the same mother.
Moreover, the relationship between the two people was very good. Before King Zhongshun was demoted by the Supreme Emperor, the third prince, although he was the elder brother, always followed King Zhongshun's lead and fully supported King Zhongshun, hoping that he would ascend the throne.
Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two people was created by fate. Now it's reversed. Maybe the emperor still feels a little guilty about him, so he turns a blind eye to King Zhongshun. As long as he doesn't cause any big trouble, the emperor will
It's completely unquestionable.
Therefore, since the emperor ascended the throne, King Zhongshun began to move around. The emperor also looked at his friendship and did not care about him too much. Therefore, he gained some partisans in the court.
If it was just like this, Liu Yu didn't take it seriously, but now the emperor has regarded King Zhongshun as a brother from the same mother, and this time Jia Ke is holding on to the grain storage road. Could it be that he already knows who is behind the scenes?
King Zhongshun, do you want to give the emperor a good look if you do this now?
