First Secret Agent in History

Chapter 251 The powerful minister Ao Yu is so majestic! One blow that wipes out the entire family!

Nowadays, going to court every day is torture for most officials. This is an unprecedented moment for the Zhou Empire. There are two emperors sitting in the court. Unless those who have clearly chosen their side, anyone else who wants to speak needs to Weigh it up.

What impression will it make if I speak? Are you on the side of the emperor or the Supreme Emperor?

Everyone must be careful lest they become cannon fodder.

Today is no exception. Usually when attending court, many officials who are familiar with each other are chatting and laughing, but today they have serious faces.

In fact, many officials are unwilling to come to court and would rather stay home because they are sick. But unless you are above the rank of Chief Officer of the Sixth Department, you are not even qualified to stay home due to illness.

"Wrath of the Waves!"

"Hello, Lord Nulang!"

After seeing Ao Yu come in, a group of people came up to say hello with friendly expressions. These people have made it clear that they are on the same side. Those officials who had already quarreled with the Lord and the faction yesterday, of course they want to come to please Ao Yu, because this is the future number one official.

Ao Yu also fully enjoyed the boss-level treatment, and was greeted by people in the previous court. Although he was only a fifth-grade cabinet minister, to be precise, he was the secretary of the Prime Minister Wu Zhi, but who didn't know that this young angry man Langhou is the Supreme Emperor's number one confidant.

Ao Yu was also very affectionate, greeting everyone one by one. Regardless of whether they knew each other, he would step forward and hold each other's arms, acting like a close friend, saying that I value you very much and that I have remembered you.

After a round of greetings, Yun Zhonghe came to the official book and said, "Hello, Heavenly Official."

Xu Tianfang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, held Ao Yu's arm affectionately and said, "Hello, Marquis Nulang, aren't you calling me this to be a stranger?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "Hello, Mr. Xu."

Previously, it was Ao Yu who grabbed the arms of the officials to express affection. Now it was the big boss's turn to grab their arms. This role change was extremely natural.

Then, Yun Zhonghe bowed to Prime Minister Wu Zhi and said, "Hello, Prime Minister Wu."

"Hello, Ao Yu." The Prime Minister can just call him by his first name. After all, Ao Yu is nominally his secretary.

"Hello, Minister Zhou." Yun Zhonghe saluted another big boss again.

This person is Duke Zhou Lian, the deputy envoy of the Zuo Privy Council of the Great Zhou Empire. It is said that this person is very destined to Yun Zhonghe.

At that time, there was a rebellion in the south, which implicated Ao Xin, and the entire Ao Yu family was arrested and brought to Beijing. Duke Zhou Lian was the imperial envoy, and it was he who personally arrested Ao Yu's family.

But on the way, Ao Yu urgently asked to see Duke Zhou Lian, and asked Duke Zhou Lian to tell the emperor that Ao Yu had a strategy to quell the rebellion in the south. At that time, Duke Zhou Lian had no choice but to ignore the matter, but he still rushed to send Ao Yu to see the emperor.

Regarding this matter, Yun Zhonghe must respect the character of Duke Zhou Lian.

After that, Duke Zhou Lian went to the Western Region to serve as the Governor of Zhenxi, preparing to resist the possible invasion of the Great Western Empire. After all, the Great Zhou Empire seemed to be at war at that time.

As a result, the rebellion in the southern border was quickly put down, but Duke Zhou Lian was still in the western border.

Four months ago, Li Zhou, the crown prince of the Great Western Empire, led an army of 300,000 to attack the Roulan Kingdom. As a result, they were completely burned by fire. The Western Empire was completely at ease.

As the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, Duke Zhou Lian would of course return to the court, and by now he had become the mainstay of support for the Supreme Emperor in his administration.

But there is also some bad news, that is, Ao Ming's father Ao Dong has been promoted.

Ao Dong was a cold and sharp person, although not as prominent as Ao Xin, and the two brothers did not deal with him. He had served as the admiral of Xikang Province for many years, and it was not easy to be promoted.

But because Ao Xin and Ao Yu completely offended the emperor, the emperor had previously granted the title of Marquis of Nulang to Ao Dong.

After Duke Zhou Lian left the Western Region, the court needed to appoint a new governor. Because of the emperor's favor, Ao Dong became the new governor of Zhenxi.

He is the governor, not the chief governor. After Duke Zhou Lian left, the Zhenxi Governor's Mansion was downgraded. But now Ao Dong can be regarded as the number one general of the Western Army, and he has been solidly promoted to one level.

Prime Minister Wu Zhidao said: "Mr. Xu, there are too many things going on during this period. Many positions are vacant and there is no time to fill them. The two positions of Minister of Dali Temple and Yushi Zhongcheng are very important. As the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, do you have anyone in mind?" ah."

Xu Tianfang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, said with a smile: "Marquis Nulang, do you have anyone to choose?"

Yun Zhonghe said: "The lower official is just a fifth-rank official. These two are both third-rank officials, and they are key positions in the imperial court. How can I dare to speak carelessly."

Although he said this, he already had a candidate in mind. The minister of Dali Temple is in charge of punishment and prison. If he wants to harm others, he must take this official position.

Not to mention Yushi Zhongcheng, who was specially used to troll people and fight in the court. After all, Yun Zhonghe was a cabinet member at this time. In fact, there were many things that he couldn't directly complain about.

The best candidate for the title of censor is, of course, the master of the foreign examination, Mr. Yu Zheng.

This man was slandered by the old beast Ao Ting for accepting bribes. He has been dismissed from office and is now at home.

This man is upright and strong-willed. He was the censor Zhongcheng before, but he was too upright and his official position became smaller and smaller.

It is most appropriate for him to be re-appointed as Yushi Zhongcheng.

As for the Minister of Dali Temple, Yun Zhonghe wanted to ask his teacher Zhu Lantian to come out, but it was really not suitable. Master Zhu Lantian had been the Minister of Rites many years ago, and he almost entered the cabinet and became the prime minister, but was eliminated by Lin Gong. He was framed and went to Tianyi Academy to become the mountain director.

But he can be regarded as retiring with honor and dignity. He is a dignified first-rank official. If you re-employ him, it is not appropriate for him to be a third-rank minister of Dali Temple. It would be best to get rid of one of the six ministers, and then let the teacher Zhu Lantian fill it.

Our little powerful minister Ao Yu is really ambitious. He is only a fifth-rank official, but he has to control the replacement of first-rank officials.

A figure walked in from outside, and several people stopped talking.

Ao Yu even hurried out to help, because Prince Liang, the only remaining ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, came.

Yun Zhonghe supported the old Prince Liang like a man, and said: "Da Zongzheng, you don't have to go to court every day. I can just go to your house to report."

Wu Zhi and Xu Tianfang stepped forward and bowed, and Duke Zhou Lian even supported the other side of Prince Lao Liang.

"I can't stop, I can't stop." Prince Liang said: "Thirty years ago, when I was doing this job, I was very talkative. I fished for three days and dried the nets for two days, and I often didn't come to court. Now that I am getting older, I find it boring to be at home, so why not come to court to relieve my boredom..."

Then, several giants of the Supreme Imperial Party helped Prince Lao Liang to his seat and sat down.

Prince Liang is getting older, but he has lost all airs. He also likes to talk, and he only chats casually and does not talk about court affairs at all.

At this moment, the eunuch Hou Chen came over, bowed to Prince Liang first, and then shouted: "The Emperor is here, the Emperor is here!"

Magnificent music sounded, and then the emperor was seen pushing the Supreme Emperor into the hall, and then the Emperor personally carried the Supreme Emperor onto the golden throne.

Alas, what a loving father and a filial son. The scene where father and son turned against each other that night was as if it had never happened.

"The Supreme Emperor has a decree, and he has a written message!"

Everyone looked at Ao Yu, who was currently the hottest new dignitary in the court.

But this time Ao Yu did not come out. Xu Tianfang, the official minister, came out and bowed: "I have my own foundation."

"Please tell me," the Supreme Emperor said. This claim made Xu Tianxin feel hot.

This Minister of Civil Affairs is really quite old. Why do you actively seek refuge with the Supreme Emperor? Isn’t it because he was once the number one scholar appointed by the Supreme Emperor? The thirty-five-year-old champion.

But now he feels that his hope of joining the cabinet is extremely slim. Once all the emperor's party is defeated, at least one, or even two, positions will be vacant in the cabinet. Then won't Xu Tianfang join the cabinet?

Moreover, Prime Minister Wu Zhi is too old and Ao Yu is too young, so Xu Tianfang even has a chance to be Prime Minister for a few years.

Xu Tianfang said: "Your Majesty, the two important official positions of Yushi Zhongcheng and Dali Temple Minister have been empty for a long time. Now that the court has returned to normal, it is appropriate to select important officials to take up these two important positions."

The emperor was very unhappy after hearing this. What does it mean for the court to return to normal? Why was the court abnormal before?

The Supreme Emperor said: "Yes, Dali Temple is the highest prison bureau of the imperial court and cannot be vacant. As for the Yushitai, I don't think it is very lively anymore, which is not good. You, the Ministry of Personnel, are in charge of the officials in the world. Do you have any good candidates?" "

Xu Tianfang said: "The Emperor's words are so accurate. The Yushitai is indeed not very lively."

As soon as these words came out, the imperial censor frowned. He was on the emperor's side. When Yu Zheng was the censor Zhongcheng, he was so angry that the emperor was impatient and drove him away. Then there was the incident of Hu Yong, the imperial envoy of Zuo Qiandu, who died to remonstrate with the emperor. How could Yushitai dare to be lively?

Then, Xu Tianfang said: "Your Majesty, I would like to recommend someone, Yu Zheng!"

"Yu Zheng?" The Supreme Emperor said, "I remember he was in the same department as you. You were the number one scholar and he was the third flower. Why don't you see him in court now?"

At this time, the imperial censor couldn't help it anymore and said: "To report to the Supreme Emperor, when Yu Zheng was serving as the academic censor of Canglang Province, he was suspected of accepting bribes while supervising the provincial examinations and has been arrested. He was dismissed from his official position and was originally exiled for three thousand miles, but after encountering the amnesty, he was exempted from the crime of exile and became a commoner."

"Haha..." The Supreme Emperor laughed when he heard this: "Yu Zheng accepted bribes? This... this is a strange news. If I remember correctly, he is almost the most honest official in the world."

The censor doctor said: "We have already tried this case, and it is confirmed without a doubt. The evidence is solid."

The right minister of the Ministry of Punishment came out and said: "Your Majesty, regarding the case of Yu Zheng accepting bribes, I feel that it is very strange. Back then, someone offered 30,000 taels of silver just to ask Yu Zheng to take back a memorial, but he did not agree. Now he actually accepted it. How many candidates took bribes? And no bribes were accepted during the township examination, but bribes were accepted for lower-level college examinations? And it was only five thousand taels?"

"It's good to be suspicious." The Supreme Emperor smiled and said: "This is a secret report from Jiangzhou. Nangong Jiu, the admiral of Black Ice Platform Canglang Province, personally checked it out, and he also brought the five candidates into Beijing. Why don't we ask One question, what on earth is going on?”

After a while, the few scholars who had framed Lord Zheng were brought to the court.

Several people were trembling, almost urinating, and immediately confessed everything.

How they framed Master Zheng, how they framed him, the evidence from all aspects is clear.

When Hei Bingtai works, he will definitely investigate the evidence chain thoroughly. You are saying that this case is too obvious. Yu Zheng accepted a bribe of five thousand taels? Isn't this nonsense?

If Yu Zheng was willing to accept bribes, he would already be one of the six ministers, or the governor of a province.

And when those people framed Zheng, they were too confident.

No one in the court had ever spoken to Yu Zheng before, so of course he would never be innocent. And now that Ao Yu has become a new member of the imperial court, how could he let his master suffer injustice?

Moreover, Heibingtai has already clearly investigated Yu Zheng's case, it's just a matter of whether or not to bring it out. Now that Ao Yu has become an upstart in the DPRK, Hei Bingtai naturally took out this case file.

The Supreme Emperor waved his hand and deprived these scholars of their academic titles, banned them from employment for life, and exiled them for three thousand miles.

"Now that the truth is out, Yu Zheng is innocent, so why was he framed? It's because he has offended too many people and is too upright, and such a person is just right for the position of Yushi Zhongcheng. Jun Youyi Your Majesty, your country will not be destroyed." The Supreme Emperor said: "I think this Yu Zheng is still very suitable to be the Yushi Zhongcheng, but the court is really sorry for him. After going around for more than ten years, he has returned to this position."

Then, the Supreme Emperor asked: "Emperor, what do you think?"

Emperor Wan Yun said: "My son, please ask the Supreme Emperor Qian Gang to make his own decision."

The Supreme Emperor was not polite and said: "By decree, Yu Zheng is appointed as the right center minister of Yushitai. This Yu Zheng is not in the capital. If he is, call him over quickly."

Half an hour later, Yu Zheng appeared in the court hall and put on the official uniform of Yushi Zhongcheng on the spot.

Suddenly his heart surged, how many years has it been? Is he wearing this official uniform again?

In fact, Master Yu Zheng has never thought about being in charge of the Six Ministries, let alone joining the cabinet. His highest goal in life is to be the imperial censor.

But because he was too upright, his official position became smaller and smaller, and he was finally demoted to a commoner.

He really never thought that one day he would be able to return to the court, and his former student would become his supporter in the court. This was the first time that Lord Yu Zheng felt like there was someone in the court.

Master Yu Zheng couldn't help but glance in the direction of Ao Yu. It was a pity that the other student Su Mang was not there, otherwise this would be the time for him to show off his talents.

After putting on the official uniform, Master Yu Zheng felt the desire to fight in his heart. How many years of injustice have been accumulated? Is this sword still sharp? Can I still drink blood?

The Supreme Emperor said: "Yu Zheng, please go back to your ranks at the Yushitai. If you have something to report, wait until the discussion is completed."

Yu Zheng said: "I obey the order."

Then, with murderous intent, he returned to the ranks of Yushitai.

The Supreme Emperor said: "We have found the most suitable candidate for the position of Censor Zhongcheng. What about the Minister of Dali Temple? Is there anyone recommended by the Ministry of Personnel?"

At this time, it was difficult for Xu Tianfang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to speak, because there were two ministers below him, and he, the chief official of the Ministry of Personnel, could not look too ugly.

Immediately, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I recommend Zhang Wenchang, the young minister of Dali Temple."

The right servant of the Ministry of Personnel said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I recommend Min Jinyuan, the governor of Bozhou."

As expected, the competition for the position of Minister of Dali Temple began, and the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel recommended different candidates. Xu Tianfang's face suddenly became a little ugly. The candidate for Minister of Dali Temple could not even be unified by the Ministry of Personnel, wouldn't it look like Is he, Xu Tianfang, incompetent?

But there is no way. The right minister of the Ministry of official affairs supports the emperor, and the left minister is from Lin Gong's party and supports the emperor.

For the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, the emperor and his party actually knew that no one could compete with Zheng. His innocence could be proved easily, and his qualifications were too old. He could even serve as a Yushi doctor, let alone Yushi Zhongcheng.

But this Dali Temple Minister must not be let out. Zhang Wenchang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was originally the second-in-command of Dali Temple, so it was normal for him to be replaced.

And this Min Jinyuan can be regarded as one of Ao Yu's teachers. He was the deputy examiner of Canglang Provincial Provincial Examination back then. He was originally a Beijing official. After serving as the deputy examiner of Canglang Provincial Examination, he handled the so-called fraud case and was promoted to Governor of Bozhou. He is a fourth-grade official, and it is indeed very difficult to be promoted directly to the minister of Dali Temple.

Next, the two groups started to quarrel with each other, arguing over the position of Minister of Dali Temple.

Finally, Xu Tianfang, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said: "In this case, it is better to let Zhang Wenchang, the former young minister of Dali Temple, be promoted to the minister of Dali Temple, and Min Jinyuan, the prefect of Bozhou, be promoted to the young minister of Dali Temple."

As soon as these words came out, both sides became quiet.

The Supreme Emperor said: "Xu Tianfang is Lao Cheng's plan for the country. What do you think, Emperor?"

The emperor said: "My son, please ask the Supreme Emperor Qian Gang to make his own decision."

Your Majesty, do you know this? Are you a repeater?

However, in this battle for the Minister of Dali Temple, the emperor was not at a disadvantage, at least he won the position of Minister of Dali Temple.

…………………………

This fight finally came to an end, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But those who were interested discovered that Ao Yu turned out to be the biggest winner in this battle, because both of his teachers in the provincial examination were promoted.

A mere fifth-rank official actually promoted two high-ranking officials in the imperial court. He was really a young and powerful official.

However, the court meeting has been going on for two and a half hours. Isn't it time to end? Today's major events have almost been discussed?

However, at this moment, Yun Zhonghe came out and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have my roots."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but tremble, Ao Yu, what do you want to do? Your results today have been huge. Your two teachers have been promoted to high officials in the imperial court. What else do you want to do?

The Supreme Emperor said: "Marquis Nulang, please speak."

Yun Zhonghe said: "I have received more than a dozen memorials from Langzhou in the cabinet. Some are from several magistrates of Langzhou, and some are from the prefect of Langzhou, but they only report one thing. In the relief of the victims of Langzhou There is a lot of rotten food in the food.”

The Supreme Emperor said: "Oh? Where are these memorials?"

Yun Zhonghe handed over a thick stack of memorials and asked the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor to read them.

After hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but be surprised. It must be Chen Liang who is rescuing the victims. It's good to be able to survive. Is there so much care?

Ao Yu, you are making such a fuss, what do you want to do?

After seeing these memorials, the Emperor's face suddenly became cold and he said in a cold voice: "Hubu, what's going on? The victims of the Langzhou disaster are already suffering a lot. They work a lot every day, but they can only eat two bowls of porridge to survive. , actually distributing rotten food? Moreover, the Langzhou garrison and the Langzhou navy are also eating this batch of food."

The Minister of Hube's face trembled, what does this mean? Could it be that the Supreme Emperor wants to take action on me, the Minister of Household Affairs? Is it because I didn’t kneel down to support you, the Supreme Emperor?

Are you a little too hasty? After all, I am also a minister of the Sixth Ministry. Isn’t your biggest enemy now King Zhenhai? The rebellion of King Zhenhai has not been quelled. Isn't it too early for you, the Supreme Emperor, to ask the court minister to perform an operation? Aren't you afraid of a counterattack by His Majesty the Emperor and his ministers?

Immediately, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, although the grain collected by the Ministry of Revenue is not new, it is still food within two years. It is absolutely impossible for it to rot. It is absolutely impossible."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Are you sure that the relief grains shipped to Langzhou are not rotten?"

The Minister of Revenue said: "Absolutely not."

The Supreme Emperor said in a cold voice: "Is it possible that someone in the Langzhou officialdom is lining his own pockets? Is it difficult to make money for the country? What should Zhou Li, the imperial envoy, do?"

Everyone couldn't help but be shocked. Zhou Li is your die-hard Supreme Imperial Party member. Why did you even get angry with him?

At this moment, shouts came from outside.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, urgent report from Langzhou, urgent report from Langzhou."

The Supreme Emperor said: "What happened again in Langzhou? Let him in."

After a while, a man came in covered with dust, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty Nangong Liu, I would like to pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor. I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty! Something big has happened in Langzhou, something big has happened."

The Supreme Emperor said: "You tell me."

Nangong Liudao: "The relief food shipped by the imperial court to Langzhou was rotten and turned green. After the victims ate it, they were poisoned one after another. Now the number of casualties has exceeded 3,000, and the number is still increasing. The imperial envoy has summoned Canghai Province All the doctors are still unable to control the increase in casualties."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed.

This thing is true. Someone is really so crazy that he transports completely rotten food to the victims.

If it was ordinary rot, it wouldn't kill anyone. Obviously, this batch of grain was completely rotten, and there was an unknown amount of aflatoxin in it. Of course, people would die in a large area if eaten.

The Supreme Emperor was so angry that he trembled all over and said hoarsely: "It's not allowed by heaven, it's not allowed by heaven! Members of the Ministry of Household Affairs, are you sure that the food allocated to Langzhou is not rotten or poisonous?"

Immediately, many officials from the Ministry of Revenue knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately: "Your Majesty, I swear with my head on my neck that although the grain shipped to Langzhou is old grain, it is definitely not rotten grain. You also know that more than two years ago, During the war between us and the Great Victory Empire, even if we had some old grain for a few years, it would have been eaten up long ago, and there would be no food left to rot."

The Supreme Emperor sternly said: "That means someone replaced the good food shipped to the Langzhou disaster area with rotten food, and the country was in trouble? Thousands of people were eaten to death at once? How shocking? Check, check, check!"

Suddenly, all civil and military officials in the court lowered their heads, and many people could not help but recall the situation when Emperor Tian Yan was in power.

The Supreme Emperor continued: "The victims of Langzhou suffered from natural disasters. They were already unfortunate, and now they have to suffer man-made disasters? Is it so easy to make money from national disasters? Is it so easy to get money from dead people? This case must be thoroughly investigated to the end. Ministry of Punishments, Imperial Guards Shitai, Dali Temple.”

The Third Dharma Master immediately stepped out of the queue and bowed: "I'm waiting here."

The Supreme Emperor said: "You are going to try this case. No matter who is involved, no matter how old his qualifications are, no matter how big his official position is, no matter how high his status, once found out, he will be punished severely."

"I obey the order!"

Then, the Supreme Emperor asked: "Emperor, what do you think?"

The emperor said: "I also feel that this case is appalling, and we must investigate it thoroughly and give an explanation to the world. Therefore, we must send a capable minister to investigate this case thoroughly."

The Supreme Emperor said: "Fellow ministers, who is willing to accept this assignment to thoroughly investigate the case of exchanging relief grains?"

The newly appointed Yushi Zhongcheng Yuzheng said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Langzhou to investigate this case thoroughly. I will investigate it clearly and clearly. No matter who is making this country's hard-earned wealth, he will be found out."

Prime Minister Lin Gong said: "Master Yu Zheng is unselfish and selfless, and it would be best to investigate this case. However, the imperial envoy sent to Langzhou should be of a higher level. I think it is more appropriate for the Minister of Punishment to be the imperial envoy."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhuo, the Minister of Punishment, came out and said: "I am willing to go!"

This Minister of Punishment was also part of Lin Gong's party, and of course supported the emperor.

Therefore, although Lin Gong was only the third-ranked prime minister, his influence in the court was completely overwhelming, because he was the emperor's confidant, and the emperor's approval was required for the appointment of such top ministers.

The two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War had already occupied this position during the period of the Supreme Emperor. Because they had not made any mistakes, the emperor could not replace them all. Moreover, usually, these two ministers seemed to be very obedient and did not expect the critical moment. He turned against him and supported the Supreme Emperor.

The Supreme Emperor said: "Then let Wang Zhuo take the lead and Yu Zheng as the assistant, and thoroughly investigate the case!"

Wang Zhuo, the Minister of Punishment, and Yu Zheng, the Censor, immediately knelt down and said, "I obey the order."

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

…………………………

Ning Huai'an, the admiral of Ningcheng, secretly asked to see the Queen.

"Queen, something big is going to happen. This little beast Ao Yu is going to cause a shocking case." Ning Huaian said tremblingly: "The case of eating rotten food to death of the victims and the case of exchanging relief food must be caused by Ao Yu. He My target is you, the Queen."

The queen said coldly: "What's the matter with this palace? Even if Ao Yu has the support of the old man, he can't do anything to me as the queen. Most of the officials in the court are still on the side of His Majesty the Emperor."

Ning Huaian said tremblingly: "Empress, the fleet responsible for transporting disaster relief food this time is... from Taikang Houfu."

As soon as these words came out, the queen trembled suddenly. Taikang Hou is the queen's father, who is also the current head of state.

The Queen trembled and said, "What about the food exchange?"

Ning Huaian said: "We did it at sea."

The Queen said: "How much food was exchanged?!"

Ning Huaian said: "About eight hundred thousand stones."

As soon as these words came out, the queen couldn't help but trembled violently, almost unable to believe her ears.

Eight hundred thousand shi of food? This is millions of taels of silver.

The queen trembled and said: "Where did so much rotten food come from at home? It is simply impossible."

Ning Huaian said: "These old grains all belong to the Zhenhai Prince's Mansion. Shi Bian hoarded countless grains in order to make a big fortune. Because of a typhoon, several large granaries were flooded, so all the grains became moldy. We can't get rid of the mold. The extremely powerful troops were given to the garrison, and the extremely rotten food was given to the victims. I didn’t expect that so many people were eaten to death.”

This...this crime is even greater.

In other words, the Ministry of Revenue transported good disaster relief grain to the Langzhou disaster area, but was replaced by the Queen's family midway at sea. The good grain was sold to King Zhenhai, and then the completely rotten grain from the Zhenhai Prince's palace was transported to the Langzhou disaster area?

Now King Zhenhai has conspired to rebel. This is not only a loss of wealth for the country, not only corruption, but also collaboration with the enemy.

Once this crime is exposed, the queen's entire family will be ruined, and her position as queen will be lost.

The queen asked: "Who else? Is our family the only one involved in this matter?"

Ning Huaian said: "There is also Ao Ting. In order to curry favor with our family, he gave our family several sea ships."

The queen trembled and said: "Ao Yu, this little beast is so vicious. He is going to take revenge. He is going to bring me and the Ao Ting family together."

Ning Huaian said: "Mother, what should I do?! If we really want them to find out, it will be a huge disaster."

More than just a huge disaster? It is the disaster of annihilation!
