After wearing the book, he was favored by the villains in line

When Hubu Shangshu Yu Xiao was woken up by the Hubu servant Wen Si who rushed to report the news, he couldn't react for a while, but when he heard what happened to his officials, he was shocked immediately and was so frightened that he couldn't wake up. Sober again.

Wen Si was in charge of Zuo Cao of the Household Department, and his job was not to allocate grain and release charcoal. At this time, the crime was not serious, so Fei Fusu did not find him immediately.

At this moment, he was not without luck and said:

"Fortunately, I still have some official duties to deal with tonight. I went to bed late, and just heard the wind. I was frightened at that time, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment, so I came to look for you. I heard that the first person to be picked by the regent was Chen. Minister, those soldiers broke into the Chen Mansion recklessly, Mr. Chen was only wearing a single garment, before he even had time to put on his official robe, he was thrown outside."

Chen Shi was in charge of the right cao of the household department, and disaster relief was originally his duty. He neglected his responsibility and was arrested, which can only be said to be his own fault.

Although Wen Si is both an official of the household department, he is not in the same faction as Chen Shi, so there is a sense of watching the excitement in his words, but his subordinates make mistakes, and Yu Xiao, who is the secretary of the household department, cannot escape responsibility. Although Wen Si is not The main person in charge is also responsible, otherwise Wen Si would not have come to look for Yu Xiao so eagerly.

After Yu Xiao woke up, her immediate reaction was anger:

"Idiot! When His Majesty gave the order a few days ago, the old man gave repeated orders to control the appetite of the people below. He is really bold. His Majesty attaches so much importance to the disaster situation, yet he dared to let the people below embezzle the relief funds. I think I don’t want the black hat on his head anymore!”

He was annoyed, but as the minister of the household department, how could he not know the situation of disaster relief?However, he felt that it was not important to delay for a few days. The punishment did not fall on him, so he was not in a hurry, not to mention that he himself might not have made some profit from it. Just think of regret.

Wen Si was very clear in his heart, but there was only a worried look on his face:

"Now His Majesty is furious and the officials are terrified. I really don't know what to do..."

Yu Xiao snorted coldly, got up in a hurry, put on his clothes and put on his boots, and walked out, saying:

"What else can I do, quickly prepare firewood, rice, and cotton clothes for disaster relief, and send them to Ji County as soon as possible! The sooner the better!"

Wen Si still hesitated and said:

"There is not enough salary in the bank..."

Yu Xiao paused, then turned around and came back with a slightly mocking expression:

"There is none in the treasury, so is it not in the house? The official position is more important, or the few catties of charcoal fire? Do you really think that the regent has not come to your house until now, so he doesn't plan to pursue you and me? He is waiting We are now raising supplies for disaster relief. The matter of disaster relief and corruption can be big or small. If it is thoroughly investigated, you and I will not be able to get rid of it. You'd better hope that there are enough big rats for him to spend time playing with, so that we can have a good time. Raise enough supplies."

Although Wen Si was not angry because of Yu Xiao's pride, he knew that what Yu Xiao said was true, especially that he was expected to be promoted this year. It's hard to say that you can't keep your official position, so you can only bow your head and rush back to the mansion to raise money.

Facts have proved that Yu Xiao is worthy of being an old fox who has been up and down in the officialdom for many years. He guessed rightly. If the gold is dug out, how can the fuel of Yu Xiao's family be enough for the people of a city?Naturally, everyone else must bleed, and let the fire burn all over the capital.

It wasn't until the sky turned pale that Fei Wusu led his troops to the official office of the Household Department. As expected, Yu Xiao had already brought the remaining officials of the Household Department and waited outside the door of the official office. As if people on both sides supported him so as not to let him fall to the ground, when he saw Fei Yusu coming, he hurriedly staggered and threw himself in front of Fei Yusuma, and said bitterly:

"The lower officials have neglected their duties! Thousands of people in Gyeonggi have not received relief in time! The lower officials deserve to die! The lower officials deserve to die!"

The officials on both sides quickly spoke for him:

"I would also like to ask His Royal Highness the Regent to learn from you. His Excellency Shangshu is because he is old and weak and suffering from a serious illness. He originally wanted to appeal to the higher authorities for leave to recuperate. However, he heard that the disaster in Gyeonggi was serious and he was worried, so he persisted until now. Mr. Chen sees Mr. Shang Shu worked so hard, so he took over the relief work all by himself, but unexpectedly..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but in his words, he directly blamed Chen Shi alone for the lack of disaster relief.

Other people in the household department also spoke out one after another, all speaking for Yu Xiao, but Yu Xiao turned his head angrily, and said to them:

"Nonsense! Since I have the name of Shangshu, my subordinates are not good at work. As the head of a department, I should take responsibility for it. How can I shirk my power and stay out of it for my own selfishness?"

After speaking, he turned his head and bowed deeply to Fei Wusu, and said resolutely:

"Last night, after learning about the current situation, the lower officials were filled with remorse. Even though they sent people to raise charcoal, rice grains, and clothing to keep out the cold in Beijing, they had already raised enough supplies to supply the people of Ji County. The lower officials knew that they had committed a serious crime. After His Majesty returns, I will take off my hat and plead guilty, but the people are still in dire straits, and there is an urgent need for disaster relief, so I ask His Royal Highness the Regent to send these supplies to Ji County first, so as to relieve the urgent needs of the people!"

On the horse's back, Fei Susu, dressed in a black embroidered gold python robe, looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly.

Ever since Fei Wusu came to the household department, Yu Xiao had arranged a great drama for him, without even needing him to contribute a single line, the drama had already ended perfectly.

He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Xiao who was lying on the ground begging regardless of his image.

Probably because he rushed up to apologize too much, Yu Xiao's official hat was even a little crooked, his gray hair broke out a little from it, coupled with his hasty kneeling posture, and his face full of no hesitation, if it was someone else, I'm afraid he would have already Moved by his true feelings, he thought that this matter really had nothing to do with him.

Yu Xiao knelt on the ground with the top of his head touching the ground. He couldn't see Fei Wusu's expression at the moment, and he felt uneasy in his heart. It wasn't until his knees were painful that he heard a faint sentence from above his head:

"Yu Shangshu is seriously ill, but still worried about state affairs, he is really a loyal minister of the state."

Fei Wusu said the words "loyal minister of the country" so lightly that everyone could hear the irony in it.

Yu Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and was about to say something more, when Fei Wusu said:

"In this case, Your Majesty asked me to take all the adults to go to Miansheng in Ji County. Since Yu Shangshu was able to gather the supplies that he couldn't get together in the past few days in one night, it seems that his condition has improved, so he went to Jingji If there is no danger, then the king is relieved."
