Chapter 282 Must be more than you

The emperor was angry, and Dachang was angry at the emperor Chang Chengyou.

Sweeping the tea cup off the desk, the face under the jade crown was furious. He raised his arm and pointed at Ma Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, his voice full of coldness.

"Ma Rui, Jingzhao Prefecture Yin Ma Rui!"

The bead curtain hanging down from the jade crown swayed slightly, and Huang Laosi's face hidden under the jade crown was so angry.

"How dare you order the Thousand Cavalry Battalion!"

Ma Rui's forehead was pressed against the cold bricks: "My lord, I am guilty!"

"The Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, the dignified Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, the refugees have gathered in the south of the city. It has been more than a month now, but they still haven't settled down properly. You, the Governor of Jingzhao Mansion, are really like a loser!"

"My lord, I am guilty!"

Ma Rui's voice was very calm, and within the calmness, there was a hint of despair.

"A palmful of rice, a living person's rice grain, is sold in a palmful. These merchants who suck the flesh and blood of the people are all in the capital, and they are all under the rule of you, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion. You Ma Rui, you deserve to die!"

"My lord, I know your guilt."

It was the same three words "I acknowledge my guilt", and Ma Rui's voice was still calm and desperate.

"I not only want to take away your official position, but I also want to punish you for your negligence. You are a waste. You really are a useless waste!"

Ma Rui still lowered his head, but his face was filled with a look of deep sadness that could not be removed.

The Dachang Dynasty...is about to perish!

The emperor has thousands of cavalry camps in his hands. Doesn't he know why the price of rice is so high? Doesn't he know that the boss behind these grain merchants is standing in this court?

The emperor knew it, but since he knew it, he said such words?

I, Ma Rui, have uncovered this layer of shame. You emperor, you still have to pretend to be deaf and dumb. This Chang Dynasty...is really hopeless.

Ma Rui was not afraid of losing his official position, nor was he afraid of being punished. What he was afraid of was what the emperor had just said.

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

Huang Laosi got up suddenly and dismissed the court early. All the officials were shocked.

But who would have expected that Huang Laosi had already stepped out with his right leg, suddenly snorted heavily, and looked at Ma Rui again.

"Ma Rui, I was almost confused by anger." Huang Laosi sneered: "When something went wrong, I wanted to run away, but you had a good idea and were just wishful thinking!"

Ma Rui sighed silently: "Chen Fei..."

"Shut up, how can I let you succeed? Within three days, all the merchants selling 'palm rice' in the city will be arrested and thrown into the prison of Jingzhao Mansion. I will vomit out as many people's flesh and bones as they have swallowed. If anyone dares

If I stop you, you will throw anyone into the Jingzhao Mansion Prison. If you do not do well, you will be thrown into the Jingzhao Mansion Prison by me. You bastard. If you make a mistake, you will resign. You have no shame!"

With a wave of his dragon robe sleeves, Huang Laosi left the political hall with an angry face. Sun An looked deeply at Ma Rui and followed closely behind.

The courtiers in the palace looked astonished, and Ma Rui raised his head, confused.

In my mind, what Huang Laosi said echoed for a long time, whoever dares to stop you will be thrown into the Jingzhao Mansion Prison...

Ma Rui's eyes burst out with light, getting brighter and brighter.

Not only did he retain his position as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, but he also...became more successful the more he worked?

Prime Minister Nangong Xi, who rarely made a sound in the court, had a smile on his lips and looked at several court ministers with great amusement.

This kind of smile is very common.

For example, the teacher asks everyone to do self-study, and everyone lies on the table to sleep. Only one person is reading honestly. Everyone is confident because they have not been caught. But who knows, the teacher has secretly installed surveillance, and wants to adjust the surveillance.

At this time, the only student who is reading honestly will definitely show this smile.

Damn, you deserve to live!

After Huang Laosi left the Yizheng Hall, he took off his jade crown, threw it to Sun An behind him, and went straight into the Jingyi Hall.

When they arrived at Jingyi Hall, Huang Laosi was breathing heavily.

"Check, let me find out. What happened yesterday? Ma Rui was asked to write a letter to resign and plead guilty. Now go and find out. What is the meaning of the palm rice incident? Let me find out!"

Sun An ran out quickly without even pouring the tea.

In fact, Huang Laosi didn't pay much attention to the issue of refugees, and Qian Qiying and Chen Yan hardly mentioned it.

It's not that Huang Laosi doesn't care, it's that he can't care.

When it comes to refugees, the root cause is just one word: money.

With money, you can raise more war horses, increase military salaries, replace swords and armor, frighten disobedient people, and intimidate neighboring countries.

With money, you can build cities and walls, dig mountains and dig roads, provide relief to people in disasters, and help refugees.

With money, you can do many, many things, realize Huang Laosi's ambition, create a prosperous dynasty, and lead the prosperous dynasty to regain its former glory.

Therefore, after Huang Laosi came to the throne, he has been paying attention to official bank taxes. What he thinks about most every day is money, money, money, money, and money.

Although Huang Laosi was born as a general, he was also highly educated and liked poetry and songs.

When I first met Chu Qing, he spent a huge amount of money to "listen to poetry". In fact, to the emperor, this money was nothing, but, Chu Qing walked in front, and Huang Laosi asked Sun An to find someone.

Got the money back from scratch.

It's not that Huang Laosi is picky, but that he is really poor.

It can be said that if anyone dares to say that he can turn the imperial court around from losses to profits, he can directly give it to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Revenue. If the Zuo Shilang does it, he will immediately let Qiu Wanshan get rid of him and promote Zuo Shilang to Right Shilang. Of course,

If he fails to do so, Huang Laosi, who is just happy for nothing, will definitely stab this bragging guy to death.

Chen Yan also knew the specific situation, so he almost didn't mention the issue of the refugees to Huang Laosi. Instead, the courtiers kept grinning and bragging every day, "It's settled, it's settled, it's settled. Fourth brother, don't worry.

It’s done.

It's not that Huang Laosi has never thought that the refugees are miserable, but he has never thought that like Ma Rui said, he doesn't sell rice by the bucket, but by the "palm". You can see the leopard in the pipe, and the rice is sold by the palm.

How high is the price of rice?

Half an hour later, Sun An came back.

"Your Majesty, I asked you clearly. It is just as Lord Ma said." Sun An carefully looked at Huang Laosi's face: "Yesterday... yesterday after noon, Chu Qing and King Langya inspected... the store of Jingzhong Grain Merchant.

Twenty-three families took away countless amounts of rice and grain and sent them to the south of the city."

"What?!" Huang Laosi looked shocked: "Why didn't Chen Yan report it to the palace? Doesn't he know that behind those grain merchants are courtiers and aristocratic families?"

"Chen Yan left the city last night, and now Qianqi Camp... Qianqi Camp is really under the control of Chu Qing."

Huang Laosi was dumbfounded: "Last night... Chen Yan drank wine?"

Sun An said nothing.

When he first heard about this, his reaction was almost the same as Huang Laosi's.

He really handed over the Thousand Cavalry Camp to Chu Qing to take charge of it, how much he had to drink.

"Isn't it true that Ma Rui ordered Qianqi Camp to close down so many shops as he said?"

Huang Laosi looked a little gloomy.

Qianqiying was his lackey, and giving orders to others would be tantamount to death. Huang Laosi didn't think Ma Rui would make such a low-level mistake.

"That's not the case. Yesterday Chu Qing went to Jingzhao Mansion and ordered Jingzhao Mansion to seal these grain stores. Lord Ma told Chu Qing the powerful story. Chu Qing was unmoved. On the contrary, he didn't know what he said.

, persuaded Mr. Ma, and Mr. Ma handed him the list of merchants in Beijing."

"Nonsense!" Huang Laosi asked in a deep voice: "You dare to act like this if you don't understand the palace, and Changxian didn't stop you?"

"In the afternoon, King Langya... did not go with Chu Qing."

Huang Laosi frowned: "Is Changxian trying to protect himself?"

"That's not the case. The two of them each took their guards and robbed and sealed twenty-three shops. Chu Qing sealed thirteen shops, and King Langya sealed eleven shops."

"Asshole!"

Huang Laosi slapped the table, clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes became colder: "This bastard, actually, actually... actually has two families less than Chu Qing!"

Sun An: “…”

"Disgraceful trash!" Huang Laosi waved his hands fiercely: "Order someone to leave the palace, tell this trash, and check five more houses, at least five."

Sun An swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Your Majesty, there seem to be a total of twenty-three grain stores in Beijing."

"What?" Huang Laosi took a deep breath and clenched his fists: "Well, Chu Qing, you are my son who doesn't leave any way for me to survive!"

Sun An looked confused.

"Don't be afraid!" A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Huang Laosi's mouth: "Do you think this will stump me? It's a joke. Sun An ordered someone to inform Changxian that courtiers related to the grain merchants, starting from the fourth rank and below, go directly to the mansion.

Grab food, no, Zheng Sipin, let him grab it again... Check five more families, no matter what, there will be more than Chu Qing, go quickly!"

Sun An ran away in a flash.

He couldn't figure it out, really couldn't figure it out. Does Chu Qing know who you are? Even if he knew, how much free time would he have to do such a thing?
