The appeal of the four Ming Gaochi is still very formidable, and basically some old ministers are on their side.
Ming Gaochi sneered. He believed that Bai Yutian would not be able to withstand such great pressure and continue to detain those people.
As long as Bai Yutian puts Zhang Cunxian and others back, Bai Yutian can't give any orders to what happens next, even if he is the emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
"Why, they can't live without these places, or are they more important than me, so they might as well take my place." Bai Yutian said angrily.
Everyone noticed Bai Yutian's anger, and their faces became serious.
"Your Majesty, that's not the case. It's just that production and work have just resumed in various places. Without the prefect to take charge of the overall situation, it is difficult to manage." Ming Gaochi said bravely.
After all, he was not Gu Taizhong, so he was taking a big risk by talking to Bai Yutian like this.
The Bai Yutian now is not the Bai Yutian before.
"Min Aiqing, you have also seen that the people's livelihood in Tailin City, Yongzhou, and Qizhou is completely different from the people's livelihood in other places. The lives of the people are very different. Why do you think it is?"
Bai Yutian's angry eyes met with Ming Gaochi's, and Ming Gaochi immediately lowered his head and avoided Bai Yutian's eyes.
Bai Yutian's eyes were so terrifying that Min Gaochi didn't dare to look directly at him.
"Your Majesty, the specific situation of each place is different. Even if it is governed by one person, the results will be different..."
Min Gaochi was still talking, but Bai Yutian interrupted him directly, "If Zhang Cunxian, Zheng Kaiji and others had not followed the imperial court's orders and policies, how could the local people have worked so hard and even joined the rebels?"
"This..." Ming Gaochi hesitated.
The evidence for this matter is conclusive, and he really has no way to quibble.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, the disputes in these places must be resolved now, otherwise it will have a great impact on the Great Zhou Dynasty." Sun Li stood up and said in support.
Sun Li's hometown is in Huaizhou, and he has a very good relationship with the Zhang family. They rely on each other. He absolutely supports Ming Gaochi's proposal.
"Sun Aiqing, I remember that your hometown is Huaizhou. I heard that the Sun and Zhang families are on good terms, and the relationship between you and Zhang Cunxian is not simple. Isn't this plea for personal love?" Bai Yutian said with every word.
Heart, pointed directly at Sun Li.
Sun Li's face immediately became frightened and turned pale with fright, "Your Majesty, how dare I? I once assisted the late emperor and devoted myself to our great Zhou Dynasty. My loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth, and is reflected by the sun and the moon."
"Your Majesty." At this time, Cao Xuanya had to stand up.
Although this name is elegant, it is indeed the name of a man. This man was once a talented man in the Zhou Dynasty. Like Zhu Ke, his talent was famous in the Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, he has always been resentful about the fact that the academy was run by Zhu Ke.
In his opinion, no matter how talented Zhu Ke is, he is still a young man, so how can he compare with him.
However, Bai Yutian chose him.
Even Zhu Ke is the general dean of the three academies and has the highest power of the academies.
At the time, Cao Xuanya's talent was not inferior to Zhu Ke's, but he was not so highly used.
"The places involved this time include 11 prefectures. Many people cannot get food, buy clothes and daily necessities, and cannot make money. The situation is already very dangerous." Cao Xuanya talked about all the crises in these places.
Speak specifically.
Yuncheng and others frowned. Although they knew the situation might be serious, they didn't expect it to be this serious.
In fact, since Zhang Cunxian and others were detained, their people have caused all kinds of chaos in the local area and allowed officials to do whatever they want.
In just a few days, people's lives were in dire straits.
Moreover, they also spread rumors that the prefect was detained in Tailin City and could not come back to take charge of the overall situation.
And these actions were all caused by the imperial court's private intervention.
It is estimated that in a few days, the court will receive news that these people are petitioning the governor to return.
After Bai Yutian listened to Cao Xuanya's report, he smiled coldly and took out a file, "Master Cao is upright and upright. He likes calligraphy and painting. He once spent tens of thousands of taels on calligraphy and painting. I wonder if these are still in the house."
"Dong dong dong!" Suddenly, Cao Xuanya's heartbeat accelerated.
He doesn't like calligraphy and painting, he clearly uses these paintings and calligraphy to commit corruption.
In stark contrast to his talent, he was very greedy and was almost the most corrupt minister among the late emperor's ministers.
These tens of thousands of taels are just the silver taels he embezzled in Tailin City. Many of the silver taels that Zhang Cunxian and others embezzled in the local area went into his pocket.
Bai Yutian had asked Yuncheng and Yan Chong to investigate Cao Xuanya's corruption a long time ago. Later, through Long Wei, Bai Yutian obtained further evidence.
The reason why he was not brought down was because of the face of Bai Yutian's father.
If Cao Xuanya is not honest, Bai Yutian doesn't mind letting him lose his life.
Bai Yutian's words were sharp and pointed at their weaknesses, which made several people unexpectedly lose their composure.
However, it is a fact that people are parading in the streets, and matters in various states have piled up and need to be dealt with urgently.
This is also a problem that Bai Yutian must solve. Otherwise, not only will the people riot, but there may even be a rebellion in the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
If people don't have enough to eat, don't have enough clothes to wear, and can't survive, they will naturally take risks and rebel against the imperial court.
The Nanchuan Army was forced to do nothing, while Shijiabao was for the sake of the local people. It can be said that the Tianyi Army was what the people wanted in Yuzhou.
Ming Gaochi and the others looked at Liu Zhen. Among the four, Liu Zhen was the only one who did not stand up and speak.
Liu Zhen wanted to cry but had no tears. He had at least nothing to do with these governors, and at most he had embezzled some silver. But now he was standing on the same line as the other three and he couldn't help himself.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time to argue about this. What needs to be dealt with now is the issue of the eleven states." Liu Zhen said helplessly, throwing out the initial question.
Bai Yutian scanned the audience and asked, "Dear ladies, do you have any good solutions?"
"Your Majesty, the Eleven Prefectures cover a vast area, occupying 80% of the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I believe that the overall situation should be put first and the local governors will temporarily solve the problem. Otherwise, the refugees will turn into mobs and may become a force against the imperial court." Someone said.
He stood up and said that he was also a representative of the late emperor's faction.
Bai Yutian also had a headache about this. No matter how powerful he was, it would be difficult for him to manage the eleven states, and it would be even more difficult for him to pacify the people's livelihood in various places.
Even he couldn't come up with a good solution in a short time.
In desperation, Bai Yutian could only order to go to court temporarily, and put aside the matter of the prefect for further discussion.
However, Ming Gaochi and others pressed forward step by step. After going to court, they took out the memorial written overnight and presented it to Bai Yutian in an attempt to make Bai Yutian make a decision as soon as possible.
