Chapter 92 Shooting yourself in the foot(1/2)

No one said anything, even Zhao Yanshen himself was silent.

All of them understood that Zu Yi was right...

Forcibly disrupting the rioters and moving them to the north of Youzhou is indeed the best way to do so. If you are not careful, it will cause even more serious unrest!

A trace of pride flashed across the turbid old eye that Zu Yi had left, and then he pursued the victory:

"The lower officials don't know whether Zhao Xiang is true or false.

Previously, the counties in Shandong and Jianghuai had already migrated tens of thousands of chaotic people to Youzhou and north of Jiaodong, and consumed countless money and food every day.

The imperial court's plan to reclaim land in northern Xinjiang has just begun, and it is time to urgently need money and food.

At this time, Zhao Xiang migrated all the hundreds of thousands of victims... Tsk tsk, this is not a good time..."

"Youzhou, Yingzhou, Pingzhou, Jiande, Yuyang... More than a dozen prefectures and counties have all the money and grain stored and transported by the imperial court for land reclamation. How can we not migrate the rioters in Taishan County?

This is the responsibility of our Ministry of Civil Affairs. As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can you know more about how much grain storage there is in Youzhou and other places than me?"

Zheng Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came out to help, and said with disdain:

"Doctor Zu is in charge of the Secretariat and the Censorate. There are many tasks and some affairs, so I'm afraid Doctor Zu doesn't understand...

Therefore, the lower officials also asked Doctor Zu not to speak out loud and say something unrealistic…”

The components of these words are very serious. On the surface, they do not criticize anything, but in fact they are ridiculing Zu Yi for being "ignorant".

If you don’t understand the actual situation, you dare to give some advice to Shangguan’s instructions?

The nature of this incident can be big or small. To be small, it is a frame-up of Shangguan, but to be big, it is Zu Yi who deliberately made a fuss in the court, which is suspected of deceiving the emperor!

Zu Yi's turbid old eyes instantly became extremely sharp, and he took a deep look at Zheng Yu.

Zheng Yuyi was not afraid, and only left him a cold silhouette.

There was another silence in the court, and then some ministers began to look at each other. Are the cabinet bosses squatting up?

Zheng Yu was recommended by Zhao Yanshen in December last year. The emperor issued an edict to enter the court. He was already over fifty years old. He had good abilities and had a relationship with the royal family. Therefore, he quickly gained a foothold in the cabinet, had a good status, and always spoke very hard.

During the exam last month, he was the one who tried hard to prevent Zu Yi from gaining fame.

This time when Zu Yi impeached Zhao Yanshen, he couldn't help but attack Zu Yi and set the nature of Zu Yi first. It was ruthless. It was clearly a veteran who had been in danger in the officialdom.

This Korean discussion seemed to have quietly changed.

Gao Wei frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Zu Yi looked at Zheng Yu, and a touch of viciousness appeared on his face. He quickly stopped and smiled lightly:

"There are more than 80 Changping warehouses in Youzhou, Yuyang, Pingyang, Jiande and other places, and the grain storage is about 6 million stones.

However, because the imperial court has not purchased grain at a fair price for a long time, in addition to the seeds needed for reclamation, the available grain and grass are only about three million stones.

Even though the court has raised food and grass to replenish its warehouse in the past few months, it has only been less than two million stones more…”

Zu Yi was familiar with his family and listed the current situation of the usual closing of warehouses in Youzhou and other places. He was very skillful, and Zheng Yu's expression gradually became solemn.

Zu Qi continued: "Besides, before this, the court had already dispatched a large number of victims from Jianghuai and other places to head north.

The expenses for these food and grass supply to this part of the victims are still very short of money, so how can they afford the cost of hundreds of thousands of people?"

Zu Yi smiled and said, "I also worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs when I was young. I don't know much about the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but I still understand these most basic situations..."

It seemed as if a slap in the face of Zheng Yu, and Zheng Yu's face turned blue and purple, and he was filled with shame and anger.

What does Zu Yi mean? Is he laughing at him for being ineligible?

Zheng Yu just now mocked Zu Yi for not understanding the situation of the civil servants. In a blink of an eye, Zu Yi slapped him with the facts.

"When I was young, I also worked in the Ministry of Civil Affairs..."

Zu Yi's words all exuded his ridicule and ridicule towards Zheng Yu, which seemed to be without a trace of fireworks, but it sounded very harsh to Zheng Yu.

"Enough...! This is a court discussion, please pay attention to your position..."

When Zheng Yu pointed at Zu Yi with trembling fingers and was about to tear up, Gao Wei stopped the endless disputes that followed.

He looked at Zheng Yu, frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Zheng Yu lost his etiquette in the palace and was fined one month's salary..."

Before Zu Wei could see a lust on his face, Gao Wei pointed his finger at Zu Wei again, "You are the same..."

Zu Yi was immediately lost, and he played fifty boards each. This is...

Zu Yi had already prepared his words to impeach Zheng Yu to defend Zhao Yanshen so much. He was suspected of forming a clique, but was interrupted by Gao Wei and he had to stop.

Although he was still dissatisfied, His Majesty had already expressed his attitude and obviously did not want them to make trouble. He could only press down on his inner thoughts.

But his eyes were secretly looking at Zhao Yanshen's reaction.

Zhao Yanshen pondered for a long time before saying, "The old minister also understands that this is the best solution..., but there is no better solution at present..."

He slowly explained his views.

It seems that for him, it was just a trivial matter for Zheng Yu and Zu Yi to compete for him just now, and it was a first-class matter to solve the troubles that Taishan County is going to face now...

Gao Wei looked at him and his expression quietly calmed down.

No matter what, Zhao Yanshen is an old minister who is loyal and diligent in the country...

However, Zhao Yanshen's method was not in line with Gao Wei's wishes.

What Zhao Yanshen said is to violently suppress the civil unrest first and forcibly split the civil unrest.

In the past, when Gao Huan and Gao Yang were in trouble, Liu Pantuo and Shi Mingyao caused trouble in Shandong, and Du Lingchun caused trouble in Puyang. These people were all refugees and were destroyed by the famous general Gao Jishi.

Not only are there countless casualties, but not the root cause. Once disasters come frequently, wars often come again.

Killing will not calm the resentment of the victims, but will instead make them increasingly hatred for the court.

Not to mention that Gao Jishi is dead now, even if Gao Jishi is still alive, can Gao Wei start a massacre of these people?

Unless it is truly a last resort, Gao Wei will never point the butcher knife at these innocent people!

When Gao Wei was about to comfort Zhao Yanshen, and then proposed his own solution, Zu Yi stood up again.

"Report to Your Majesty, I dare not agree with what Zhao Xiang said. There is not no other way to resolve the disaster!"

This statement was very noticeable. Gao Wei paused for a moment, and everyone else looked at him, waiting to hear what he said.

Although Zheng Yu felt that he was sensational, he could clearly distinguish the occasion. Maybe Zu Yi really had a solution to the problem.

So he frowned and resisted the urge to squirt him.

Zu Yi said slowly: "It is natural not to point the butcher knife at the civilians. Isn't this digging the foundation?

I think that if the court wants to successfully suppress this civil unrest, it must find another way!”

Gao Wei remained silent and just stared at him.

“…Shandong’s civil unrest arises from local political corruption, and it is caused by the fact that those officials in Shandong will resell their positions in a row. At critical moments, there is no food to call

...But this is a mess they have caused, but they want the court to take responsibility for them!

Afterwards, the court just scolded them. This was too cheap for these people...

If it continues for a long time, these people will inevitably become more arrogant and unscrupulous!"

Gao Wei narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes and stared at him, "What do you mean?"

"Of course, the court cannot encourage these people's arrogance!" Zu Yi looked a little excited. "If the court cannot punish these people this time, how can it give the people and the world an explanation? I have heard that Your Majesty said 'The Lord Boats and the People', and it was deeply touched. Your Majesty is a saint, so how could he tolerate these insects killing their people..."

"——Tell me the point!" Gao Wei stopped Zu Yi's masturbation:

"What do you mean is to kill these people and calm the public grievances?"

The whole court took a breath. I wonder how many Shandong clerks were involved in this matter. Do you need to investigate them all?

Zu Yi smiled awkwardly and said embarrassedly: "I..., this is indeed what I mean... But Your Majesty, this is an absolutely effective method!"

Zu Yi was afraid that the emperor would not trust him, so he quickly explained: "In the past few months, His Majesty has cracked down on officials with serious corruption, rectified the court's atmosphere, and made the court and the country look completely new!

However, the court has purged the law, but the local problems are still very serious!

This time, such a corruption in Shandong is all due to the corruption of the administration!

By pursuing these corrupt officials and mediocre officials, you can not only give the people an explanation and win the trust of the people, but also solve the problem of food and grass!"

Gao Wei knew it in his heart, but he still asked: "What do you say?"

Zu Yi secretly looked at Gao Wei's face and said carefully: "These people have been corrupt for many years, and their families must have had a lot of savings. Anyway, these money have also been obtained from corruption, so why not...?"

Some court officials were erect and were about to impeach Zu Yi, but Zu Yi fell to the ground first:

"Your Majesty, you will not be established without destruction, and you will not be established without destruction!

In order to regain the locality, the court must use its sword!

Moreover, these people have caused trouble in the area for many years, and they are all worthy of death!

There is nothing wrong with the court doing this!"

"What do you mean is... to search the house?" Gao Wei looked at Zu Yi with a little appreciation.

The ministers were upset and felt that it was inappropriate. These people were indeed worthy of death, but if they were killed, how would local government affairs be carried out?
To be continued...
