Chapter 32 Salt Administration 2

Looking at the memorials submitted by Chunyu Yan, Ma Jin's face turned gloomy as water.

After a long time, Ma Jin said, "Come, Xuan's assistant Changsun Wuji, participated in politics, Kou Zhun, leader of the Grand Pavilion of the Neiwei Prefecture, and Xing Daowen, Minister of Personnel, came to see him."

After saying that, Ma Jin thought about it again and called the little eunuch who had gone to the message and said, "By the way, there is Xiao Pun, the envoy of the Salt and Iron Department, and we also call us."

"Abide by the order!"

Half an hour later, Changsun Wuji, Kou Zhun, Xing Daowen and others came to the Yangxin Palace.

Changsun Wuji and others looked solemn, and they felt a little nervous. I just learned from the eunuch who was sent to the order that Ma Jin was very angry now, and His Majesty actually summoned Lu Bing, the leader of the Inner Guard Palace. This is obviously a matter of something to happen.

At this time, the eunuch Wang Chengen, the chief of the Secretariat, walked out of the hall and said to Changsun Wuji, Kou Zhun and others: "My lords, Your Majesty, let's go to the hall!"

Under the leadership of Wang Chengen, Changsun Wuji and others came to the hall, but saw Chunyu Yan, who had just received an errand in the Ministry of Revenue, was also here. He couldn't help but feel the points in his heart. Could it be that it was related to the emptiness of the national treasury?

After Changsun Wuji and others stood up, Ma Jin picked up Chunyu Yan's memorial expressionlessly and said, "This is the memorial that Chunyu Qing just submitted. Please take a look!" As he said that, Ma Jin handed Chunyu Yan's memorial to Wang Chengen.

After Wang Chengen carefully took the memorial, he turned around and walked to several people and handed it to Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji bowed to take the memorial, opened it and looked carefully, and his face became iron after a while.

Then he handed it to Kou Zhun without saying a word. Seeing that Changsun Wuji looked ugly, Kou Zhun hurriedly took it and looked carefully. After seeing it, Kou Zhun frowned. Finally, he handed the memorial to Lu Bing, who was next to him without saying a word.

...After finally, after Lu Bing finished reading, Ma Jin said, "What do you guys think?"

As the emperor's hawk, Lu Bing bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be investigated strictly and captured all the borers."

Kou Zhun also spoke: "I think Lord Lu is very saying, so he should investigate it strictly!"

At this time, Xing Daowen said, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, so you should be cautious!"

When Kou Zhun heard this, his face changed and retorted: "Mr. Xing, how can you be careful? You can make those worms unable to live without a world. What should you do if the treasury is empty? Could it be that you have a share of Lord Xing? According to my intention, this matter must not only be thoroughly investigated, but also to the end."

Xing Dao heard Kou Zhun's words and hurriedly said, "Gei Master Kou, how is it possible for the lower officials to behave well and sit upright? The lower officials did not say that they would not thoroughly investigate this matter. It was just that the salt tax matter was very important. The interest group behind them was afraid that it was so huge that it was unimaginable. Once the person behind them was forced to become anxious, I was afraid... I was afraid that it would cause another storm and cause turmoil in the court."

Kou Zhun said at this time: "Mr. Xing is probably a little worried!"

As he said that, Kou Zhun bowed to Ma Jin and said, "Your Majesty, I think some sluts are not worth worrying about!"

Kou Zhun has the confidence to say this.

Although I don’t know what interest groups are behind the salt tax, what about that? With the power of the Holy Emperor and the power of a million tigers in the court, who can stand in the territory of this Great Zhou Dynasty? No matter how many interest groups make trouble, they can’t make the world.

Seeing Kou Zhun say this, Xing Daowen could only keep silent.

Ma Jin hadn't spoken just now, just to see the attitude of the ministers on this matter.

Now, seeing that Changsun Wuji, Kou Zhun, Lu Bing and other ministers support the thorough investigation of the matter, Ma Jin said: "I know all my dear friends' opinions!"

"Chunyu Yan!"

"I'm here!"

Looking at Chunyu Yan kneeling on the ground, he said

"I appoint you as the imperial envoy, add Jianghuai Road to depose the ambassador, and go to Yangzhou to investigate the salt tax matter!"

"My minister Chunyu Yan received the order!"

After Chunyu Yan got up, Ma Jin looked at Lu Bing again and said, "The Inner Guard Office selected a capable general to follow Chunyu's beloved minister to go south. All actions will be followed by Chunyu's beloved minister's orders."

"My me, follow the order!" Lu Bing bowed and said.

After everyone left, Ma Jin thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he felt relieved.

Then, Ma Jin thought that the Empress Dowager's birthday was getting closer and closer, so he ordered someone to call Wang Chengen and asked: "Big partner, how is the Queen Mother's birthday arrangement? Don't be afraid of spending money, everything is customized."

Wang Chengen replied: "Please rest assured that your Majesty is watching you. There will be no mistakes. Why don't your Majesty go and take a look?"

"If you have a great companion, you can watch me, so I will naturally feel at ease! I won't look." Ma Jin waved his hand and said.

...

Besides, after leaving the palace, Lu Bing hurriedly returned to the Inner Guard Office and immediately ordered someone to call his confidant Shen Lian.

After seeing Shen Lian, Lu Bing said, "I have something big to do..."

As he said that, Lu Bing told Shen Lian that the emperor wanted to thoroughly investigate the salt tax.

When Shen Lian heard this, he was shocked: "This salt tax matter is very involved. Isn't Your Majesty afraid of causing riots in Yangzhou?"

Lu Bing said: "What are you afraid of? The army of the Right Dragon Martial Guard led by Tan Daoji is in Yangzhou. Who dares to cause trouble? But just in case, Your Majesty ordered our Inner Guard Mansion to transfer a team of troops to follow Chunyu Yan to the south. First, to protect Chunyu Yan's safety, and second, because our Inner Guard Mansion has a lot of eyewitness in Yangzhou, and once there is any disturbance, you can respond quickly."

Immediately afterwards, Lu Bing said: "I plan to let you follow Chunyu Yan to go south, either to make great contributions, or to recommend you to Your Majesty."

Although Shen Lian understood Lu Bing's painstaking efforts, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, my subordinates will not let you down! We will definitely do things beautifully."

"I will feel at ease with you." Lu Bing praised Shen Lian and said, "Remember this time, we must protect Chunyu Yan's safety. The place is not as good as the gods. What will the officials in the border do for their own lives?"

Shen Lian is Lu Bing's confidant, so he is naturally very familiar with Shen Lian's temper and warned: "I know you are upright and can't rub sand in your eyes. But this time, it's mainly about Chunyu Yan. Don't cause trouble. You should listen more, do more, and talk less. Do you know?"

Shen Lian bowed and clasped his fists and replied in a stern voice: "I understand!"
