Chapter 183 King Ning's disaster relief? Harvesting public opinion? People are oppressed
Chapter 183 King Ning provides disaster relief? Harvesting public opinion? People are oppressed? Literary investigation?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
"What a happy event, what a happy event."
at this time.
It's still dark.
Hou Jun hurriedly came to Prince Ning's study, looking extremely excited.
"What happened?"
Prince Ning was slightly curious and looked at Hou Jun, wondering what good thing had happened.
"Go back to your lord."
"The spies came to report that as soon as Gu Jinnian arrived in Jiangzhong County, he killed the princes of the Nineteenth Prefecture."
Hou Jun spoke up, this was the first thing.
"It's not surprising, that's just his character."
Prince Ning did not appear particularly surprised. On the contrary, he thought it was reasonable and in line with Gu Jinnian's behavior.
"Angrily kill the princes of the Nineteenth Prefecture, where is Wang Wei?"
King Ning asked directly.
After hearing what happened to Wang Wei, Hou Jun lowered his head and said: "Wang Wei hanged himself before Gu Jinnian arrived. We have sent people to find out. He is indeed dead. There is no disguise or fake death."
Hou Jun replied.
He specially asked people to investigate and found that Wang Wei was dead. It was indeed Wang Wei.
"Wang Wei is dead?"
King Ning was a little surprised.
"Gu Jinnian said he was a saint for future generations, but his methods are still so dirty. It's really ridiculous."
Hou Jun smiled.
Wang Wei's death made Hou Jun think that Gu Jinnian's reputation was wasted.
"It's not Gu Jinnian's tricks. He brought Gu Ningya, the commander-in-chief of the Hanging Deng Division. If he wasn't ruthless, would he really be able to reach that position?"
Prince Ning did not look down upon Gu Jinnian too much.
"What the prince said is absolutely true."
"This Gu Ningya is indeed extraordinary."
Hou Jun nodded.
"What I am curious about now is how Gu Jinnian saw through this plan?"
"If he had known it a long time ago, he could have stopped directly, rested for a day, and found out halfway through?"
Prince Ning was very curious about how Gu Jinnian saw through this plan.
"Going back to the prince, I heard that someone seemed to have stopped Gu Jinnian's jade chariot. Maybe this person solved the problem, but I don't know the details."
Hou Jun spoke up and said this.
"oh?"
"It seems that Jiangzhong County still has talents. As expected, the big hermit is hiding in the city, and the small hermit is hiding in the wild."
"Investigate this person thoroughly, and after the matter is successful, see if we can recruit him."
Prince Ning spoke up.
"yes."
Hou Jun nodded.
"You just said there was good news. What good news was it?"
King Ning continued to speak and asked Mr. Hou.
As soon as he heard this, Hou Jun immediately spoke up, with a look of joy that could not be concealed on his face.
"Your Majesty, the spies have come to report that Gu Jinnian arrived in Jiangzhong County and directly killed the Lord of the Nineteenth Prefecture. Then he cooked a meal and entertained the people of the whole county."
"It's just that Gu Jinnian asked the people to eat some rice. It's called military ration. It's a special supply for the royal family. Each common person can only get two taels of rice, which is only five taels of rice in the bowl."
"As for those officers and men, they all eat well, have big fish and meat, and are full of oil. They bully the people under the power of power, which has made the people of the entire Jiangzhong County angry."
"Gu Jinnian even asked these people to harvest wheat and harvest the fields without giving them enough to eat. He also forced them to do such things. The spies came to report and said that these people were very aggressive and had caused public dissatisfaction."
Hou Jun was extremely excited.
But after saying this, Prince Ning suddenly frowned and felt in disbelief.
"How can it be?"
"Everyone in the world knows that Gu Jinnian loves his people like his own children. How could he oppress the people like this?"
"Besides, even if he is a corrupt official, he can at least pretend to be so. This is absolutely not what Gu Jinnian did."
Prince Ning frowned. He didn't believe that this was what Gu Jinnian did.
It makes no sense and is unreasonable.
But the latter bowed his hands.
"My lord, my subordinates don't believe it either, but after many spies reported it, it is indeed the case. There is no falsehood at all."
Hou Jun doesn't understand either, but it is indeed the truth.
At this moment, Prince Ning was completely silent.
Although Gu Jinnian's method had been figured out by them, to suddenly do it again was completely out of Chaohu's imagination.
"What information is left unsaid?"
"Did the spies in the city say anything?"
Prince Ning frowned and asked Mr. Hou.
"Back to my lord, the spies in the city can't get out at all. They are just ordinary people. Moreover, Gu Jinnian has blocked the entrance and exit, and there is no news."
"Your Majesty, at least 70% of Jiangzhong County's grain reserves have been burned down."
Hou Jun opened his mouth and explained clearly about the spies in the city, and then revealed the information that the granary was destroyed.
Then Hou Jun thought about it and suddenly realized it.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates probably know what trick Gu Jinnian is playing."
Hou Jun spoke out, and he thought of a possibility.
"you say."
King Ning asked the other party to analyze.
"Hou Jun, think about this possibility. According to Zhao Jinnian's character, he would definitely not treat the people like this. But just when he thought he had solved Wang Wei's case, he didn't expect that we had a back-up plan.
.”
"The granary was directly burned down. After learning about this situation, Gu Jinnian felt deeply pressured. After all, although the imperial court was transporting food, how could the food transported by the imperial court be eaten by the entire county?"
"If I really want to eat, how much can I eat?"
"So, Gu Jinnian came up with this strategy. It is said that it is a feast for the people, but in fact, each person is only two or two meters tall."
"In this way, at least the people will not starve to death, and at the same time, we will slowly find a solution."
"In this way, although the people will complain, they won't complain much. At least they can survive. Then they will live on two or two meters a day. The grain transported by the court, plus the remaining 30% of the granary, can last for half a month.
of."
"My lord, what do you think of your subordinate's guess?"
Hou Jun expressed his thoughts, and I have to say that his thoughts are quite reasonable.
At least after hearing this, Prince Ning felt that this was the truth.
"possible."
King Ning nodded.
"But what I think more is that Gu Jinnian will treat the people to a banquet of 20 meters in the past two days, but after a few days, he will make the people full. They will be hungry for three days and full for seven days. As long as the people do not die, what will happen to him?
Words are considered a good thing."
King Ning agreed with Hou Jun's words, but he also had his own opinions.
"What the prince said is absolutely true, and this possibility is also very high."
Hou Jun immediately nodded and agreed.
"Why is this matter a happy event for me?"
But soon, Prince Ning looked at Hou Jun curiously. Why is this such a happy event?
Upon hearing this, Hou Jun immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, isn't this a great joy?"
"We have been storing grain for many years. Now we only need to send a hundred thousand troops to transport grain to Jiangzhong County."
"The people of Jiangzhong County will definitely be grateful and gain public support."
"Secondly, it can be regarded as suppressing Gu Jinnian's reputation, which will be of great benefit to future plans."
"Thirdly, the prince will dispatch a large army, which can also support the three major families in Jiangzhong County."
"Three gains with one stone."
When Hou Jun opened his mouth, he mentioned three benefits.
Indeed, Prince Ning was a little moved after hearing this. He cared about the first and third items very much, but the others were just average.
Winning the hearts of the people and giving confidence to the three major aristocratic families is indeed very good.
However, Prince Ning was still a little worried. He always felt that this matter was not as simple as imagined.
It's impossible for Gu Jinnian to do such a thing. He would believe it if it were anyone else, but he wouldn't believe it if it were Gu Jinnian.
"Is there such a possibility?"
"What Gu Jinnian gave the people to eat was Dajinlong rice?"
King Ning expressed his suspicion that it was not unusual for Gu Jinnian to feed the people and feed the soldiers with plenty of meat and fish.
After all, the lives of soldiers are more important, but it’s not so unobtrusive, right?
You have to act for a while, right?
What's more, this person is Gu Jinnian, so it is difficult for him to understand.
But after King Ning said this, Hou Jun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty, we also have Golden Dragon Rice in our house. Don't you know this kind of thing?"
"Let's not talk about how precious the Golden Dragon Rice is. Normal warriors would find it difficult to digest this Golden Dragon Rice. If ordinary people eat this kind of dragon rice, their blood vessels will burst and die. How can it be Golden Dragon Rice?"
Hou Jun said, this big golden dragon rice is divided into three grades, one is for the royal family, one is for the powerful, and the other is for the rich people of the Jin Dynasty.
But no matter what grade it is, it must be eaten by warriors. Even ordinary warriors can only drink rice soup as a way to replenish their bodies. Otherwise, if they eat it directly, there will be excess energy and blood, and they will explode and die.
When Hou Jun said this, Prince Ning nodded. There was indeed Big Golden Dragon Rice in Prince Ning's palace.
"But I still feel that something is wrong. Would you like to check again?"
Prince Ning spoke out, feeling something was wrong.
"Your Majesty."
"My subordinates will naturally obey the prince's arrangements. However, if we wait until the food from the court arrives, at least for the first half month, Gu Jinnian will not be short of food. Does the prince intend to wait for half a month before collecting public opinion?"
"Half a month is not a long time, but what if, my subordinate is saying what if, what if Gu Jinnian really comes up with something and really solves the problem in Jiangzhong County?"
Hou Jun has no other intention. He can wait for half a month, but the problem is that he doesn't know what Gu Jinnian's methods are for this half month. He is afraid that he will have long nights and many dreams.
Indeed, when he said this, Prince Ning also thought it was reasonable.
He thought about it again and again, and finally took a deep breath and said.
"Well."
"Immediately send an army of 100,000 people, prepare food, chickens, ducks, fish, meat, cattle, sheep, and pigs for me, and send them to Jiangzhong County so that these people can feast."
"I only need two meals to get the praise of the people of Jiangzhong County. This is indeed not a loss."
After thinking about it, Prince Ning agreed directly. He only needed two meals to gain public support. This deal was a good deal.
As soon as he said this, Hou Jun nodded immediately.
"Your Majesty is wise."
After saying this, Hou Jun immediately went to prepare.
"kindness."
Prince Ning also nodded, feeling deeply satisfied.
But just as he walked out of the door, Hou Jun suddenly turned back and looked at
"Your Majesty, I heard that the Great Xia Dynasty is purchasing spiritual crystals on a large scale. Should we raise the price?"
Hou Jun spoke up and asked Prince Ning about this matter.
"Acquisition of spiritual crystals?"
"It seems that the imperial court has no means and wants to build dragon boats and treasure ships to solve this crisis."
"But now, we can only do this. After all, spiritual crystals are dead things. It's a pity that if I ascend the throne in the future, I will lose a lot of spiritual crystals in vain."
"It's really hateful that all the spiritual crystals accumulated by the Daxia Dynasty for hundreds of years will be lost in Yongsheng's hands."
"Okay, drive up the price, but definitely don't buy it. If you buy spiritual crystals at this juncture, you will definitely have to pay a huge price."
King Ning said, "At this time, there are not many opportunities to stumble the Great Xia Dynasty. Seize every one."
"As commanded."
Hou Jun did not hesitate, and after finishing speaking, he left here.
After Hou Jun left, Prince Ning couldn't help but smile.
"Yongsheng, Yongsheng, you asked Gu Jinnian to go to disaster relief, but you never thought that I could gain the public support of the people of Jiangzhong County with just two meals."
Prince Ning said to himself, with a smile on his face.
To him, the people of Jiangzhong County must be suffering terribly. Gu Jinnian was given five taels of food per person. To be honest, it would save lives, but it was only life-saving.
When outsiders were present at the beginning, Prince Ning did not behave well and waited for Mr. Hou to leave.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Jinnian had reached his limit.
The imperial court's transportation of grain was relatively slow.
The granary in Jiangzhong County was also burned down.
The previous policy of concentrating food will make the situation in Jiangzhong County more and more serious. Now that a hundred thousand troops are sent to treat the people to two meals, then everyone will only think about the good of King Ning.
Instead of praising Gu Jinnian's goodness.
It will be helpful for him to rebel in the future. Even if Gu Jinnian stabilizes Jiangzhong County, his reputation as Prince Ning will not be less.
Kill two birds with one stone.
Kill two birds with one stone.
King Ning was very happy. In his mind, a large amount of grain was transported to Jiangzhong County, and the people ate big fish and meat, praising him as a virtuous king.
Very beautiful.
So beautiful.
And at the same time.
In Daxia Kyoto.
In the court hall.
A voice resounded in the hall.
"His Majesty."
"I received a report from a spy. Gu Jinnian went to Jiangzhong County and killed the princes of the Nineteenth Prefecture. The method was straightforward."
"And in order to stabilize the people's sentiments, they even held a banquet and invited all the people in Jiangzhong County to eat."
"Your Majesty, this is a kind act."
There was a voice, it was Yang Kai's voice, praising Gu Jinnian.
Hearing this, all the officials nodded, approving Gu Jinnian's behavior, killing corrupt officials and opening warehouses to release grain. This was a good thing.
But before Emperor Yongsheng could praise Gu Jinnian, a discordant voice sounded.
"His Majesty."
"I have something to report."
It was the voice of the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel.
As the voice of the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel rang out, everyone immediately understood that something must have happened.
Emperor Yongsheng glanced at him, but did not stop him and let him speak directly.
"Accurate performance."
At that moment, the voice of the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel sounded.
"Your Majesty, an official came to report that Gu Jinnian did kill the Nineteenth Lord in anger, but it was not because the Nineteenth Lord was corrupt and perverted the law, but because a fire broke out in the Jiangzhong County granary, so he killed the Nineteenth Lord in a rage.
Mr. Fufu."
He opened his mouth and said this.
This is the news from the people below. No one knows the details. After all, Jiangzhong County is thousands of miles apart. Who can know what happened?
"Granary fire?"
"That's more right to kill."
Upon hearing that there was a fire in the granary, Emperor Yongsheng frowned and looked angry.
At this juncture, a fire breaks out in the granary? Are you being funny here?
It's just that Gu Jinnian has a way to suppress the difficulties in Jiangzhong County, so he has nothing to worry about. Besides, he has expected this kind of thing before.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true, and I think so too."
"It's just that officials heard that the Marquis held a big banquet in Jiangzhong County, cooked rice, and provided relief to the people. However, each common person only had less than two or two meters in his bowl, and this rice was also extremely poor quality."
"So many people stopped eating after taking two bites."
He opened his mouth and continued to play.
As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials of the whole court were shocked. To provide disaster relief and rescue the people, one person has two meters of rice? Is this enough for who to eat? The elderly are better off, and the normal young people are encountering famine again, although they know that the court does not have much food.
But you won’t give this little, right?
At least let people eat enough, right?
But most people don't believe it because Gu Jinnian is not such a person.
However, on the dragon throne, Emperor Yongsheng instantly understood what was going on.
What kind of bad rice is it? It is obviously Daxia Long rice. Emperor Yongsheng had eaten this Daxia Long rice. For the common people, 2 taels is really a bit too much. Maybe one tael is enough.
It’s not that the people don’t want to eat, it’s that they can’t finish it.
It's just that I was misunderstood.
At that moment, Emperor Yongsheng wanted to explain out loud, but soon, Emperor Yongsheng remained silent again.
He thought of something, so he didn't answer.
"This is impossible."
"The Marquis would not do such a thing. This must be spreading rumors to cause trouble."
Yang Kai's voice sounded, and he didn't agree with it for the first time.
Because this is impossible.
"Master Yang, I also hope that this is a rumor, but it was not one official who reported it, but many officials who reported it."
The other party responded with a firm attitude.
Many officials were silent at this moment, and even Yang Kai didn't know what to say.
After all, the other party is the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. If he dares to speak in the court, it proves that he has enough confidence and evidence. Otherwise, he would not dare to say such nonsense.
"The granary was burned down and there was almost no food left. In order to stabilize the people's hearts and provide relief, the Marquis had only two meters per person, but after cooking, he should have five meters. To be honest, although he was not full, at least he would not be full.
hungry."
"The Marquis's move should be for the sake of the people. The way of slow water and long flow. I really admire the talent of the Marquis."
Yang Kai continued to speak, and he changed his mind, thinking that Gu Jinnian had other arrangements.
As soon as he said this, he was recognized by many officials. Because Gu Jinnian's character would not harm the people, they unconditionally believed Yang Kai's words.
As for the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel, he immediately spoke.
"Xiaguan thought so at first, but he didn't expect that officials reported that the common people only ate two or two meters per person, so forget it, while the army officers and soldiers slaughtered cows and pigs to prepare tables of sumptuous meals.
.”
"But they didn't give the people anything greasy and fishy, and they all feasted on it. I dare to ask Mr. Yang, how to explain this?"
The other party spoke up and told the story.
As soon as this was said, everyone didn't know how to answer.
Yang Kai was also slightly silent.
"Is there a possibility that people are unwilling to eat food that is too fishy?"
This time Yang Kai himself didn't have the confidence to say this.
Not to mention the other officials.
"Master Yang, are you kidding?"
The right servant of the Ministry of Personnel asked Yang Kai.
He knew that Gu Jinnian had a good relationship with Yang Kai, but he wouldn't help like this, would he?
Just bite the bullet and blow it?
If it doesn't work, it won't work. This is reasonable. No one will say anything about Gu Jinnian, and no one will say anything bad. But if you don't do well, you still brag about it? That's a bit too much.
"Why are you joking?"
"Your Majesty, I have actually heard that if a person doesn't eat for several days and then suddenly overeats, he will die on the spot. This kind of thing is not a rumor."
"Didn't a similar situation happen when His Majesty led the troops to fight?"
"In my opinion, the Marquis must be afraid that these people will eat too much greasy food and their bodies will not be able to bear it, which is why they behave like this. And what will happen to the soldiers who are tired from running around and eating some fish?"
This time Wang Qixin, Minister of Industry and Industry, spoke up, thinking that this was a possibility.
As soon as this statement came out, it was also recognized by some officials.
"There is indeed such a thing."
The Minister of War nodded. This is true. When the troops marched for war, they would encounter food shortages. The soldiers were so hungry that they gnawed tree bark. Later, they were rescued and overeated. Several people did die.
So this possibility exists.
"good."
"Even so, there are officials who reported that after the people had eaten 20 meters or even less than 20 meters, they ran to cut wheat. I dare to ask you, if you are afraid of the people overeating, why do you let them eat?
Are the people going to cut wheat?"
"Could it be that the Marquis is afraid that these people will suffer from indigestion after eating too much?"
"Everyone, it's impossible to cook a pound of rice from these two meters, right? Even if you eat a pound of rice, you won't have to cut wheat, right?"
He spoke out, questioning the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, especially looking at Yang Kai and Wang Qixin.
After hearing this, the two of them were indeed silent. At this time, there really was nothing to say.
"Could it be fake?"
"Could it be that the Marquis killed the Lord of the Nineteenth House in anger, and these officials made up the story?"
However, Gu Leng, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said that he thought this was a lie and that someone deliberately wanted to frame Gu Jinnian.
"Yes, yes, it must be fake."
"How could Lord Marquis do such a thing? I don't believe it anyway."
"I don't believe it either."
"This is obviously fake."
Yang Kai and others all agreed, insisting that this was a lie. To be honest, they really didn't believe that Gu Jinnian would do this.
There must be something unspeakable.
Now that Gu Jinnian is in Jiangzhong County to deal with the disaster, and they are responsible for controlling the overall situation in the court, they must say good things to Gu Jinnian to avoid causing trouble for Gu Jinnian.
After hearing this, the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was really at a loss.
It's okay to know that these people are partial to Gu Jinnian, but this kind of favoritism is a bit excessive.
No, it's not that I'm being too partial, it's that it's too much.
"The lower official thinks so too."
"So I asked the official three times."
"Officials from all Jiangzhong County governments have written in blood to confirm that this matter is true."
There is obviously something wrong with the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He is unwilling to give up on this matter. All the officials don't want to say anything. He is still stubborn here.
When this was mentioned, everyone became completely silent.
The evidence is overwhelming.
Although I don't understand what Gu Jinnian is thinking.
Giving the common people two or two meters of rice, giving the soldiers plenty of fish and meat, and then asking the common people to cut wheat, this cannot be explained in any way.
"The officials below may not necessarily tell the truth. What if they just want to target the Marquis?"
"Yes, it is not ruled out that officials are targeting the Marquis. After all, how could Jiangzhong County manage the fire in the granary? If the Marquis wants to conduct a thorough investigation, will the interests of many officials be affected? This cannot be ignored."
"Your Majesty, I believe that no matter what, at this time, we cannot listen to slander, and the Marquis must still take the lead."
"Yes, yes, you must trust Mr. Hou."
The attitude of the officials is actually very obvious. There is no other reason. Gu Jinnian is currently in the limelight and is the biggest celebrity in front of the emperor. This time Jiangzhong County is in catastrophe. If nothing else, if Gu Jinnian can really solve it.
So when Gu Jinnian comes back, he will be in a very important position. Who dares to provoke such a character?
Even if there is a partisan dispute, I don't dare to fight with Gu Jinnian.
To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian did not deal with the difficulties in Jiangzhong County this time, and Emperor Yongsheng was reluctant to kill Gu Jinnian. This was just a crisis for the Great Xia Dynasty.
But if Gu Jinnian solved the problem in Jiangzhong County and everyone was happy, it would be a little bad if Gu Jinnian knew that someone in the court was targeting him.
At least until things become clearer, most officials remain on the sidelines.
I will never act haphazardly.
However, at this moment, Li Shan's voice couldn't help but sound.
"Your Majesty, I believe that the Marquis will not act recklessly, and there must be some problems here."
"It's just that since the local officials reported this, and the minister also heard some news outside, it seems that the Marquis has done something not very good."
"Now that the matter has reached this point, I would like to request an order to go to Jiangzhong County. If this matter is just a smear campaign by officials, I can also punish these officials. If it is really what the Marquis did, I can also inquire clearly.
So what happened."
"It will also prevent all officials in the court from panicking. The ones who are most afraid are the scholars. If this matter spreads to the ears of scholars from other dynasties, it will be a bit bad."
Li Shan's voice sounded.
The prime minister is worthy of being a prime minister. He obviously wanted to go over and investigate Gu Jinnian, but he made it sound like he was helping Gu Jinnian.
The right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs would not dare to take the initiative to trouble Gu Jinnian. There must be someone behind this. Everyone in the civil and military affairs of the court knew that Li Shan was somewhat dissatisfied with Gu Jinnian.
Once Gu Jinnian hogged the limelight, he seemed to be useless as prime minister.
Secondly, because His Majesty was so kind to Gu Jinnian, he was also worried that the emperor would make Gu Jinnian prime minister.
All things considered, Li Shan naturally didn't have a great impression of Gu Jinnian. Of course, most officials couldn't understand the deeper struggle and didn't want to get involved.
"No."
At this moment, Yang Kai, the Minister of Rites, Wang Qixin, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Gu Leng, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment, all spoke.
"Since Your Majesty has given the general command to the Marquis, if you send someone to look for the Marquis at this time, will you be suspicious of the Marquis? If the Marquis knows about it, will you be heartbroken? I don't think so."
"Yes, Your Majesty, if you let Prime Minister Li go, it will really shake people's hearts. After all, everyone in the world knows that Your Majesty gave power to the Marquis. If Prime Minister Li goes, what will all the officers and soldiers think? What will the officials think? What will the people do?
Do you think? Does it mean that His Majesty no longer believes in the Marquis?"
"I believe that the Prime Minister will not act recklessly. These are just rumors."
Voices sounded one after another.
They firmly disagreed for no other reason than that Li Shan went there just to cause trouble for Gu Jinnian.
Since he was causing trouble, what else was he supposed to do?
No matter what kind of partisanship it is now, no matter who benefits or loses, resolving the difficulties in Jiangzhong County is the main thing.
Li Shan ran over, he must have bad intentions.
Facing the rebuttals of the ministers, Li Shan did not frown or look ugly, but spoke quietly.
"I believe in the destiny of destiny, but scholars all over the world don't believe it. Even in my country, some scholars in Daxia have great doubts about this matter."
"I naturally think that Tianminghou is not such a person and cannot stand up to rumors."
Li Shan spoke out and used scholars to suppress everyone.
"These scholars like to talk nonsense. If we let them govern the country, will they manage it? They only know how to talk nonsense."
"As long as the Jiangzhong County problem is solved, what impact will these scholars say?"
Everyone still helped Gu Jinnian.
However, at this moment, the voice of Emperor Yongsheng on the dragon throne sounded.
"Do many scholars really mention this?"
Emperor Yongsheng looked at Li Shan and asked.
"Your Majesty, it's absolutely true."
Li Shan nodded.
"good."
"Then I will give you the responsibility of inspection, but not only you, but also the twelve Confucian scholars from Yushitai will also go together, including in Daxia, to select a hundred Confucian scholars, ranging from ordinary scholars to great Confucian scholars, to go to Jiangzhong County.
Go and see for yourself.”
"Let's see if Gu Jinnian is messing around. If so, return to Beijing immediately and report. I will make my own decision."
"If not, let them shut their mouths. Anyone who dares to slander me in the future will be slapped a hundred times."
Emperor Yongsheng opened his mouth and gave Li Shan the responsibility of supervision.
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of some officials changed instantly. This was not a good thing. After all, Li Shan's passing must have had an impact on Gu Jinnian.
No one knows what Gu Jinnian wants to do, but what they believe is that Gu Jinnian must be doing it for the good of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Li Shan's past has only bad consequences but no good.
"Your Majesty, this is not allowed."
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate, it will chill the Marquis's heart."
"His Majesty."
Some officials spoke one after another, saying that Yang Kai was the main force and begged Emperor Yongsheng not to do this.
"Anyone who is an official, no matter who he is, even if he is in his prime years, needs to be supervised. Since some people have raised questions, supervision is reasonable and reasonable. Why not?"
"Jin Nian behaves upright, sits upright, and is not afraid of supervision."
"But Li Shan, I also want to tell you that your authority is only to check whether the people are suffering. Other things have nothing to do with you. Do you know that?"
Emperor Yongsheng knew it very well. He knew exactly what Gu Jinnian wanted to do.
It just so happened that someone jumped out at this time, so I sent them over together and asked Gu Jinnian to suppress them severely.
Of course, the main reason is that since the people have such doubts, it is better to let everyone go and take a look, so as to prove something, lest Gu Jinnian is working hard here to provide disaster relief, and someone is doing something behind his back.
"Your Majesty is wise."
To be honest, Li Shan really didn't expect that Emperor Yongsheng would do this, because in his opinion, Emperor Yongsheng would also favor Gu Jinnian.
What he did today was completely confirming the possibility of this matter. If Emperor Yongsheng asked him to investigate, then he would definitely be able to find out something right and wrong.
If Emperor Yongsheng did not allow him to investigate, then the matter of Gu Jinnian's oppression of the people would be confirmed.
I just didn't expect that I would actually check it out myself.
For a moment, he really didn't know why Emperor Yongsheng was doing this?
Accompanying you is really like accompanying a tiger.
It seems that with Gu Jinnian's prestige, Emperor Yongsheng could not be suspicious of him, nor would he want to suppress Gu Jinnian.
Li Shan could only think about it from this aspect.
After hearing what Emperor Yongsheng said, some officials were silent and could only pray for Gu Jinnian in their hearts.
in this way.
In a blink of an eye, it's the next day.
In fact, no one knows what happened in Jiangzhong County as a whole.
But what Gu Jinnian did spread throughout the entire Daxia Dynasty, including the Fuluo Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty, and the Xiongnu Kingdom.
These forces are always paying attention to the difficulties in Jiangzhong County, after all, their interests are also involved.
For the three major forces, they naturally hope that Daxia will be completely in civil strife. How could they miss it?
When it came out that Gu Jinnian killed the prince of the Nineteenth Prefecture, it caused a lot of controversy.
Killing the Lord of the Nineteenth Prefecture is not a big deal. Some corrupt officials will just die.
What really aroused controversy was that Gu Jinnian held a large banquet, which was called a banquet to invite the people to eat, but in fact the people were really eating. The soldiers and officials feasted on fish and meat, and after eating, they forced the people to cut wheat.
This matter caused huge controversy.
Most people actually don't believe it. They think that Gu Jinnian is a good official who loves his people as his own son, but there is no trouble without trouble.
Fortunately, the imperial court has sent the prime minister of the dynasty, as well as the twelve Confucian scholars from Yushitai, and more than a hundred scholars to Jiangzhong County in person to investigate the situation.
So although there is controversy, most people are still waiting for a result.
But compared to the doubts in Daxia counties.
After another night of spread, the entire Jiangzhong County has completely exploded.
"Have you heard? The prince gave the rice specially provided by the royal family to us common people to eat. I heard that after eating this rice, you can live longer and live longer."
"Is there such a thing?"
"seriously?"
"Is it true? It's absolutely true. I have a relative who had a meal yesterday. After eating, guess what? He ran all the way back to my hometown from Fucheng in Jiangzhong, a journey of eighty miles.
, do you know why he ran away? After eating, he felt endless strength all over his body."
"I know this. It's true. It's true. I have a sister who lives in Jiangzhong County. After she ate it, she felt full of energy. My sister had just given birth and was very weak. She ate a few taels.
Rice, I feel very energetic and can get out of bed to work."
"You only know this? My son has already gone to Jiangzhong County. After eating, he ran back and brought me a small bite. I took a small bite and my whole body felt like chicken blood.
Same."
"Look at my face, does it look better?"
Nearly a million people in the city ate Daxialong rice. After eating, these people really didn't know what to do. Some people went to cut wheat, but when they got there, they saw that the good guys were all human. They couldn't find them.
Cut it somewhere.
But I was full of energy, and I really didn’t know what to do, so I simply ran to other places and told this matter, otherwise I would feel uncomfortable holding it in my heart.
In this way, it was passed on to ten, and passed on to hundreds. The more it spread, the more outrageous it became, and the more it spread, the more terrifying it became.
What prolongs life and prevents all kinds of diseases?
These were not exaggerated until someone said that the rice brought by Gu Jinnian can strengthen yang.
At this time, the whole Jiangzhong County was in a state of panic.
At first, some people didn't believe it and thought it was too exaggerated. No matter how good the rice was, it could not aphrodisiac.
One old doctor in particular was so angry that he said it was all rumors and explained to the people that it was impossible to aphrodisiac by eating.
This makes sense, but I don’t know who said it.
If there was no aphrodisiac, why did the emperor have so many sons?
As soon as he said this, the old man fell silent.
Everyone was silent.
Then, just as it was getting light, the old man picked up the box and left.
Asked what he wanted to do, the old man didn't say a word and walked directly into the city.
After a while, everyone realized that the old man had gone to the banquet to wait for food.
That is to say, under Zhou Man's arrangement, all the nineteen prefectures in Jiangzhong County held banquets in the prefectures, county towns, and pavilions. A hundred thousand troops cooperated with Jiangzhong County's one hundred thousand soldiers. Within six hours, everything was properly arranged.
when.
And because after the spread of Da Xia Long Rice spread, the common people who had never eaten it were looking forward to it one by one and helped the government organize it.
The table is set.
The dishes and chopsticks are also set.
Everything is ready, including pots and cooking water. Anyway, people should not be too relaxed once they get started.
As for the first meal, Gu Jinnian set the time at Chen hour.
It's about time to start cooking.
Everyone is looking forward to Daxia Longmi.
Wait until after Chen hour.
Finally, the banquet was held. Because of their previous experience, the soldiers did not prepare many side dishes, mainly because they were afraid that the people would not be able to eat them, so they gave them to them.
When the pots of Daxialong rice were delivered, the people were still skeptical in their hearts.
But after eating.
The entire Jiangzhong County was completely boiling.
From yesterday to today, I have been hearing about it all the time. Although rumors are something that people believe deeply, there is still a trace of distrust in their hearts.
But after the banquet is over.
The people of Jiangzhong County completely believed it.
After eating a few taels of food, my whole body was steaming with heat. It didn’t matter that I wasn’t hungry at all. I was full of energy from top to bottom.
What's more important is that this big summer dragon rice tastes delicious, no worse than big fish and big meat.
The rice grains are plump, and your mouth is full of fragrance when you eat it. After eating, you will feel full of energy.
In addition to the longevity, longevity, immunity from all kinds of diseases, and the most important aphrodisiac effect, can the people withstand it?
Everyone praised Gu Jinnian for being a good official and feeding the people the rice specially provided by the emperor.
I also understand why the emperor has so many heirs. If he eats this thing every day, can he not have too many children?
However, Gu Jinnian originally planned to host two banquets.
But the effect of Da Xia Long Rice was so good that as evening approached, none of the people came. They were so full that they didn't even feel hungry at all.
Most of the people were cutting wheat in the rice fields, and some were waiting in line.
There are also some people who really have nothing to do and are forced to plow the land.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it really has this effect, but it’s the people who came back from plowing the fields.
It is even more certain that this Daxialong rice has an aphrodisiac effect.
And what happened in Jiangzhong County today has also spread.
Pingyang official road.
The army galloped.
Hou Jun was sitting in the carriage and heard that the spies had come to report that Gu Jinnian was hosting a banquet. The banquet was still only one person and two meters tall, and it was originally promised to be two meals, but in the end there was only one meal.
The soldiers still had a lot of fish and meat, and after the people had eaten, they were still sent to cut wheat.
This caused the people to gather together, whispering and not knowing what they were saying, and it was very likely that huge public resentment arose.
After getting this news.
Hou Jun was extremely excited.
Let the army speed up and rush to Jiangzhong County. They must arrive at the various prefectures in Jiangzhong County before noon tomorrow.
Make food for the people.
Earn public opinion.
Thinking of this, the smile on Hou Jun's face was extremely bright.
When I arrive tomorrow, I will host a banquet, and the people will rush to eat it, and then look grateful to me.
Thinking of this, Hou Jun smiled even more.
That's it.
The next day.
When the time comes.
One hundred thousand troops have arrived at the Jiangzhong County Prefecture.
At this time, outside the Jiangzhong County Mansion, some soldiers were preparing to cook rice.
