Chapter 635 Breaking Ground on Tai Sui
Chapter 635: The Tai Sui's head is filled with earth
After deciding the countermeasures, the masters began to act quickly. Although the huge civil servant group was in decline, the lean camel was bigger than the horse. When they mobilized with all their might, the power they burst out was still terrible.
Everything was brewing in peace, so smooth that it made people want to sing, as if there was not even a slight sound of the wind, until June 27th...
In another four days, the day the army paid by the court stipulated by the court. Usually, the troops stationed in various places will go to the neighboring prefectures to receive one month's grain, rice and silver.
This is Changning Prefecture, Longyou Governor, and a group of troops stationed in the East Army were used to maintain local public order. The brigade's quarantine was named Niu Ershuan, the younger brother of the third concubine of Lord Biwei, so he got this fat man.
Niu Ershuan was quite proud of his brother-in-law. Before dawn, he set out from the military camp and led a team of thirty large trucks and two hundred grain-protecting soldiers. He rushed along the way and finally arrived at Changning Prefecture City, where the prefecture government office was located at noon.
The group of people walked along the road along the county government, and did not go in, but went around to the warehouse behind... In the past, the prefect of Changning had already prepared food, grass, silver and money, and waited there. After a little counting, they loaded the car directly, and it had always been very smooth.
"Brother, I'll do you." Because today, the arrogant military man, who is usually arrogant, rarely lowers his posture for a while, and politely said to the yamen runners who looked at the warehouse: "The end of the month is here again, we are here again. I wonder if your master is here?"
The yamen runners knew that these people were not easy to mess with, and that they were indeed inappropriate, so they spread their hands and smiled bitterly: "Go back to this military master, our master is hiding."
"Hide?" Niu Ershuan said with a hilarious voice: "Can he commits a crime and is also arrested by the court?" King Wucheng's metaphor has been posted throughout the army. As long as the Li Party members surrender, they will not blame each army for investigation without authorization. They will never be implicated. This has given the officers and soldiers a great reassurance and also allow them to have the mood to watch the good show of the court bosses.
"That won't be," the yamen runner shook his head and said, "The adults above are making fun of it. What should we do below?"
"What's going on?" Niu Ershuan said strangely: "Is it because you sir about raising your little wife outside?"
"Not that, okay, let me tell you the truth." The yamen runner gritted his teeth and said, "It's really... the Curry has no food, so sir, the Lord has no shame to see you."
"What?" The soldiers jumped and said, "This is military rations and pay. If it is delayed for a moment, you will be beheaded!" There has never been any mistakes for many years, so why did something go wrong this time?
"Don't make a noise!" Niu Ershuan shouted loudly and walked to the yamen runner and said, "I'll ask you, Xia Teng has just entered the warehouse, how could it be that there is no silver or grain?"
"I'm not hiding it to Master Niu." The yamen runner said: "Before we leave, we ask me to tell you that there is actually food, but it has been ordered to be taken away by the Shangfeng and transferred to the provincial warehouse."
"Why?" Niu Ershuan was also anxious, grabbed the front of the yamen runner and said angrily: "The rules passed down in the early years are here to collect money and grain. Now you have transferred them. What are you going to eat and drink? What are you spending at home?"
"That's it!" The crowd was infuriated for a moment, and was about to take action. It can be seen that the politeness at the beginning was just a flash in the pan.
Although the yamen runners are very arrogant on weekdays, they are naturally obedient to the common people. When they meet a more arrogant soldier, they will naturally show their obedience. The yamen runner kowtowed and bowed, and shouted and said, "My military master, the so-called injustice has a debt and a master. What can I do with a small servant?" He said, and made way for the Ku door: "You can go in and take a look. What else can I have except for a few skinny rats?"
Niu Ershuan went in with luck and saw that it was empty, with echoes lingering, not even a grain of food or a copper plate. He couldn't help but say angrily: "Wait for me, you will pay the price!"
After saying that, he went out angrily and said, "Brothers, you are waiting here to watch over all the officials, gentry and wealthy families in the city. I will go back and report to us sir, and I will definitely not spare them!"
"Okay!" The officers and soldiers who were almost furious intestines applauded.
Niu Ershuan was about to get on the horse and leave, a team was laughing and saying, "Mr. Niu, it doesn't matter if you go back, but leave some big money for our brothers," he said, "It's already noon. You can't let your brothers go on a business trip and pay for your own meal."
Niu Ershuan just put his hand into his arms, but stopped again, shook his arms hard and said, "They are all treating us like this, so I'll give you some money, just eat and drink for free!" As he said that, he whipped the whip hard and left.
"I heard it right?" Looking at Niu Ershuan's leaving figure, the team was squirting and spitting: "Sir, let's eat and drink for free."
"Of course there is nothing, we all heard it!" The person next to him laughed and went to the best restaurant in the city to prepare for a meal of the king's dream.
Niu Ershuan rushed all the way, and within two hours he returned to the military camp. When he talked about this matter to Master Lieutenant, his brother-in-law immediately changed his expression and said in a deep voice: "This is someone who is impatient!" He ordered people to report to the top, while asking people to gather the team and lead troops to surround Changning City in person.
Why did he react so much? It is because according to the relevant laws of the Qin Dynasty, the military pay, food and grass of the army was not expensed from the finances of the garrison prefecture, but was distributed uniformly by the central court. This money and food belong to the army from beginning to end. As for the military pay, food and food are collected and transported on behalf of the garrison prefecture, it is just helping and passing the process.
Grandma, our officers are still secretly hiding their military pay. You guys, you dare to swallow the leash and hair in broad daylight! Oh, the tiger doesn’t show off its power, think I’m a sick cat, spit it all out, grandchildren!
The news was passed on layer by layer, and soon it reached the desk of Marshal Zhengdong. At Xu Xu's level, it was naturally not as simple as those below.
He gently twisted the thin piece of paper and said in a plain tone: "Twenty-two grain collection sites have encountered the same situation. Do you think it's interesting?"
The generals of the Eastern Expedition Army below couldn't laugh. His eldest son Xu Zaide said: "Master, since the provincial governments in various places said that they had fainted from the silver and grains in the province, then we will go to the province to find Xu Jiantai, Hu Jiantai and others to argue!" Several other generals also nodded and said: "This method is good."
"That's not bad." Xu Xu certainly wouldn't be polite to his son, and sneered: "At this point, can't you see any clues? Have you eaten all the things I taught in dipped in soy sauce?"
It was also a waste of time to be scolded by the Grand Marshal. Everyone had to say embarrassedly: "I disappoint the Grand Marshal. Please teach me!"
"Let me listen!" Xu Xu tapped the table and said, "This is the continued success of His Majesty's Great Purge this year. I thought, maybe the civil servants in the court were forced to get rid of our silver and grain, so that we could get messy all of a sudden, so as to force the emperor to submit."
"We're taught." The generals quickly expressed their understanding, and Xu Zaide asked softly again: "Master, how should we deal with it? Should we conquer the troops or..."
"What to collect? Let them continue to make trouble!" Xu Xu sneered: "Children who know how to make trouble have candy, don't you understand such a simple truth?" After a while, he added: "But you have to grasp the right measure, especially don't rob the people, otherwise we will not be able to hang up on the ground of Sanlong in the future."
"How do you explain the prince?" someone asked worriedly.
"This is easy to say." Xu Xu said in a deep voice: "Just report the situation all the time and ask the prince to make a decision."
The generals quickly praised in unison: "Gao, it's really high!"
In fact, it is indeed high, because although the Xu family did not receive any impact, Xu Xu still understood the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth. Moreover, he was essentially a child of aristocratic families, so he naturally did not want to see the dominant power of the imperial power. This has nothing to do with love or not, but is purely considered from the interests of the family and personal future.
But because the terrifying prince stood behind Emperor Tianyou, he did not dare to blatantly support the people in the court, and even waved the flag and shouted. But this did not prevent him from expressing his attitude in a vague way, telling Qin Lei that if this problem cannot be solved as soon as possible, the troops would be completely out of control and the consequences would be unimaginable.
In Jingshan City, Qin Lei sat by the lake in the royal palace, under the green grape trellis, holding Baoer, who had just passed the age of 100, reached out to tease her cheeks and smiled faintly: "Which do you think is this singing? "Grievance of the generals and prime ministers" or "revealing the dragon scales"?"
Xiao Baoer giggled, stretched out her white and tender little hand, and actually grabbed her father's cheek.
Of course Qin Lei didn't ask her. He asked Mr. Guantao, who was sitting on the side reading the information. After carefully reading all the papers, Zhang Jianzhicai laughed and said, "The prince is too worried. These poor guys are ministers with the court. The civil and military generals are not as clear as they are. They have more or less contact. Seeing that their kind of people are being arrested one by one, there will naturally be some things to hurt their kind. It is for self-protection, and they will inevitably stand on the same line."
"It makes sense," Qin Lei nodded and smiled, "but these guys made a fatal mistake."
"Dare you ask the prince, what's wrong?" Guantao asked in a deep voice.
"They make a fuss, fight, fight, but why bother me?" Qin Lei said coldly: "Originally, the Lone King thought that the emperor was a little reckless. He was hesitating, should he interfere?" He raised his eyebrows and said: "But now there is no need to hesitate. For these things, you don't take Da Qin seriously at all. You are ready to sacrifice the country and save the small family's swear. Hell or corners are their best place to go!"
"Wow..." But Baoer was frightened by the ferocious face of his father and started crying bitterly.
Qin Lei suddenly became busy, making faces and learning to call animals. He finally made the little princess cry and burst into tears.
At this moment, he was a completely ordinary father, and he didn't have the look of a kingly aura of killing and decisive decisiveness?
Seeing that he had succeeded, Qin Lei was also very happy. He held Baoer and stood up, grinned at Guantao, "Wait, they will definitely come." As he said that, he hummed a strange nursery rhyme and walked slowly and steadily towards Ruolan's embroidery building.
Guantao heard the prince sang like this, "Little Swallow wears flower clothes and comes here every spring..." He couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, but he said with great envy: 'It seems that being a father is really good. Should I get married too...'
Qin Lei said nothing wrong, the day is coming soon.
Tian Minnong and Qu Yanwu represented the civil servant group and set out from it and took a day to arrive at Jingshan City. Qin Lei did not play hide-and-seek with them, so he simply met the two Grand Secretary.
The two could see that the prince was in a bad mood. The handsome face that used to be smiling was covered with a thin layer of frost today.
But they were not afraid, because they had already thought of all the excuses and rhetoric. When they saw Qin Lei, they hurriedly complained, saying that His Majesty forced the officials of the capital to be pitiful, the officials' situation was miserable, and their behavior was forced. Qin Lei's attitude was very strange.
He was just silent and looked at the two Grand Secretary with a cold gaze.
Tian Minnong stopped talking, while Qu Yanwu relied on his close friendship with the prince, but he was still uninterested and kept telling his grievances. When he found that he was the only one talking in this conversation between the three people, he stopped and could not say a word.
Looking up at the prince, he found that Qin Lei was also looking at him.
It seemed that except for the first few greetings, the prince never said a word and kept silent.
A frightening silence.
Beads of sweat as big as beans were left behind Qu Yanwu's forehead, and he could only drink water desperately to cover up the increasingly intense uneasiness in his heart.
When he ate the seventh bowl of sour plum soup, Qin Lei finally spoke. He asked softly, "Are you finished?" The voice was not loud, but it seemed to explode in his ears.
Qu Yanwu nodded confusedly, squeezed out three words from his lungs and said, "I'm done."
Chapter completed!
