I run a newspaper in ancient times

It didn't take a day or two for Emperor Yan to get nervous, Li Li felt that he was used to it.

After a routine interrogation, he will leave the palace.

Dong Lai was waiting at the gate of Mingzheng Hall, greeted Funing and thanked Funing, then took Li Li's wheelchair and walked towards the gate of the palace.

At this time Li Li asked: "Did Concubine Yu say something?"

The palace road is spacious, leading back and forth to the end, and there are guards following him not too far away, not afraid of others approaching and eavesdropping, so Dong Lai replied: "My lord, Concubine Yu just said a word, and asked the slaves to bring it to the lord."

"Ok?"

"Your Majesty said that if the emperor has no heir, can he make it?"

As soon as these words came out, even if Li Li was sitting in a wheelchair and he didn't need to use his strength to walk, Dong Lai could see that his body was visibly stagnant, and then he didn't speak again.

How could the emperor have no heir?Regardless of gender, Shi Yu already has it.

But she still said that, so she made up her mind.

Dong Lai silently pushed Li Li towards the palace gate, the carriage of the palace was already waiting at the gate.

The moment Li Li got into the car, he looked back subconsciously—the red wall that was ten feet high was surrounded on all sides, and the palace gate with vermilion gold floating nails was tall and heavy. If it was closed, it would create the strongest cage in the world , what is trapped is not only the freedom and thought of the people inside, but also the fate.

Shi Yu wanted to leave, may I ask if Li Li is willing to help?Does what you said at the beginning count?

The swaying carriage gradually stopped. When Li Li got off the carriage, he suddenly felt ashamed of his hesitation, and entered the palace surrounded by others. Finally, he ordered Donglai to say: "Tell Sister Yu, as long as she doesn't regret it, she will be happy." make."

The envoy sent by Daxia, the second prince Zhao Yu was assassinated and died in Dayan territory, which eventually caused a sensation in the entire Daxia imperial city.

Emperor Xia placed his hopes on his second son, otherwise he would not have sent him on an envoy to give him important tasks, but he still died in the end.

He looked at the several sons who were each looking sad, and listened to the angry voices in his ears, as if they were very sad, and asked Dayan to show enough sincerity with righteous words before he would stop there.

Seeing this, the aged Emperor Xia couldn't help having a fit of sadness, but in the end he was powerless to stop it, and nodded under the stalemate of various forces.

Dayan received the letter of credence from Daxia without any surprise.

Xia Di, who lost his beloved, expressed his anger and grief, and asked Dayan to give the murderer and compensation.

What's more, the lion asked for a million shi, grain and silver, and secondly, to punish the "murderer", otherwise the two countries would go to war and pay homage to the souls of the dead with blood, never mentioning the four prefectures of Yanjing.

His attitude was tough and extremely arrogant. In addition, he also specified that Emperor Xia and the fifth princess Li Xi should return to Daxia.

This is not to solve the problem at all, but pure provocation.

Emperor Yan's illness has recovered. Sitting in the main hall, he smashed the letter of credence on the spot. Yin Xiao stared at Prince Yi below and said the eight words with momentum: "If you want to fight, fight, Dayan has no fear." .”

No one in the Great Yan Dynasty Hall objected.

This battle was promoted by the two countries, no matter how many people were unwilling, it finally came.

Fan Zhiyuan was appointed Marshal of the Army and Horses and went to northern Xinjiang.

Li Li took this letter of credence and let the gossip tabloids use it to print it, igniting the fighting spirit of the people.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager ordered the House of Internal Affairs to select the Princess Mansion and bestow it on Princess Shou'an, showing Dayan's determination to fight to the death.

Grain and grass had already filled the grain depot, all the military pay was in place, and there were brave generals, Dayan was not afraid.

When the imperial decree to prepare for the war came down officially, Li Li's eyes were fixed on the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zhen Weimin's scalp was numb, and he ordered to load food and armaments immediately.

Although Prince Yi's gaze was on his back, he had a solid foundation in his heart. Ever since the grain was put into the warehouse, no one had touched it. The car was carried out and loaded directly into the car.

In order not to delay the expedition and complete the task as soon as possible, the Ministry of Households also conscripted a large number of people to load the goods by hand. The workers who loaded and unloaded piled seven or eight bags on their shoulders and carried the load back and forth. With such an intensity, the luggage could be ready in three days.

Zhen Weimin, as the secretary of the household department, did not sit in the main room, but went to the scene to watch in person, for fear of any accidents.

As long as the army is sent away so that Prince Yi can't make a mistake, he can breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the more nervous you are, the easier it is to make mistakes.

The sunset glow appeared in the sky, and the uproar of people coming and going gradually subsided. When he was finally able to enter the house for a sip of tea, there was an uproar outside.

The cup of tea that was still full in his hand was spilled immediately.

The head of the granary in the household department ran in hastily, shouting as he ran, "My lord, it's not good!"

Zhen Weimin's heart immediately rose under the panic, his eyelids twitched, and he turned his head and asked sharply, "What's going on?"

"Grain, the food is spilled..."

When Zhen Weimin heard this, he swallowed his heart again, and said calmly: "If you spill it, you will spill it. The bag is not strong. Just pack it up and replace it with another one. Don't be surprised."

Zhen Weimin was so frightened that he almost smashed his glass, and his tone sounded a little blaming.

However, when he picked up the cup and was about to drink water again, the head of the granary said anxiously: "But my lord, what is spilled here is moldy rice!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhen Weimin finally couldn't hold the cup and smashed it to the ground with a crisp sound.Regardless of these things, he picked up the skirt of his subordinate and asked in disbelief: "What did you say? Isn't it all good if it's mildewed rice? No one has moved his mother's rice after it was put into the granary. Where did it come from?" moldy rice?”

"This, this official doesn't know!" The granary supervisor, a thin man, was almost lifted off the ground by Zhen Weimin, and he was almost suffocated. He managed to break free, "Why don't you go and have a look, Now the imperial army is already checking several other truckloads of food!"

Don't blame Zhen Weimin for losing his composure and turning pale with fright. You must know that he has been cautious and careful about this errand, and he personally followed him. He lost a lot of hair, just for fear of accidents.

However, when it was about to end, it still happened!

He took a deep breath, couldn't bear it anymore, and strode out.

"Just now one person carried seven or eight bags on his shoulders, probably because he was tired and couldn't stand firmly. He just fell like this, and all the food spilled out. The people around saw that the leaked rice had turned black and moldy. What’s the matter? There are not only people from the Ministry of War, but also the Fan Family Army! That violent general is going to make a big fuss on the spot and expose it.”

Zhen Weimin walked with wind, and the principal next to him followed and talked, and almost lost his temper.

Finally arrived at the place, there were quite a few people around, including several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, who seemed to be arguing with others, and there were voices of arguing.

"Sweeping, no one is allowed to move. This kind of food is fed to pigs, and every one of them will die. They even plan to feed them to the border guards. What is the intention?"

"Damn, it's okay to search for it on weekdays. When the country is in crisis, if you dare to pass it off as a good one, aren't you afraid of going to hell?"

The angry and rough voice must have been unintentional by the generals, food is so important, naturally there are people from the Fan family army watching on the scene, seeing this kind of food, they can't help but go crazy.

"Don't spout blood. No one has touched the grain after it entered the granary. Master Zhen personally ordered it to patrol day and night. It is what it is!" This is the voice of an official from the household department.

"Then what are these moldy rice?"

This person said it confidently: "Who knows, I'm afraid it was like this when it was collected! There are so many donated food, it's normal that there are a few bags of moldy rice that haven't been found out!"

This made some sense, and the servant of the household department went on to say: "Businessmen are always cunning and profit-seeking. They usually stock up on grain, just waiting to make a fortune in times of natural and man-made disasters. This time, because the prince called for sending tens of thousands of grains for nothing, how can they do that?" Maybe they are all good rice and new rice, so how much money do they get? It’s just that there were too many donators at that time, and we were short of manpower, so it was impossible to open the bags and check them one by one, so only the fish slipped through the net.”

What he said was well-founded, and the soldiers who were watching from the sidelines couldn't help but nodded. They saw how much the Ministry of Finance attached importance to it.

Hearing this, Zhen Weimin regained his composure. At this time, someone saw him and called out: "Lord Zhen is here."

Hearing the words, the Minister of the Household Department saluted Zhen Weimin first, then looked at the opposite general and sneered, "Our Master Shangshu hasn't even been to the Yamen these days, and has been watching in person. It's really chilling to be framed for doing so personally."

However, the military commander didn't accept this, and just looked at Zhen Weimin and said: "Master Zhen, whether it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance, those merchants, or someone else, at this critical moment, take these moldy rice as a good Mi, even with sinister intentions, the last general, on behalf of the general, asked for a thorough investigation, what do you think?"

Based on Zhen Weimin's many years of experience as an official, he had a premonition that this matter would never get better.

He subconsciously looked at his deputy, and seeing the household minister nodding slightly to him, looking confident, he couldn't help letting go of his suspended heart.

Zhen Weimin said: "That's fine, the pure will be clear, and the turbid will be turbid. Soldiers who fight for the country must not be chilled. They must give an explanation and find out."

As soon as the words were finished, a voice came out: "Master Zhen must write down what he said, it is very decent, and the people must listen to it together."

Zhen Weimin's eyelids twitched, and when he glanced over, he saw two strange people in the crowd surrounded by moldy rice, holding a splint with paper in one hand and a charcoal pen in the other. It is tied with a unique small wooden sign - gossip tabloid reporter.

The person speaking is an old-fashioned reporter in this area. Everyone knows that the one next to him has been brushing and brushing. Draw it down.

What to do, of course, is the headlines of gossip tabloids.

Seeing the two of them, for some reason, Zhen Weimin's worry was suddenly magnified. The servant of the household department changed his face, pointed at them with one hand, and blurted out to ask: "Who asked you to come? This is an important place for the imperial court, and idlers are not allowed to enter. .”

The reporter smiled and cupped his hands and said: "I'm really sorry, my lords, this is the first time that the prince has called on so many righteous people to donate food and silver through the gossip tabloids. The amount is huge and the people are highly motivated. It is the responsibility to trace the whereabouts of these donations, so that the people can rest assured when they see that their hard work has been put into practice. Of course, if there is an accident, someone cheats the prince by pretending to be a fake, then it must be investigated to the end."

He pointedly glanced at the moldy rice on the ground.

The gossip tabloid is under the name of Li Li. Li Li and General Fan are a well-known couple. The general next to him stood up without waiting for the reporter's answer and said, "That's right, since there is no problem with the household department , that is, people who deliver food are fishing in troubled waters, this kind of hypocrisy must be found out, let people see who is a profiteer, and don't even think about doing business in this life!"

Speaking of this, regardless of whether the household department agrees or not, it must be published in the newspaper and exposed to the eyes of the general public.

The expedition is imminent, and the Great Yan is united as one, holding the belief of victory. At this time, whoever wants to hold back and make profits from it will be drowned by the spit of every single person.

If it is true that the Ministry of Households has tampered with it and ate food, even if the amount does not affect the soldiers in northern Xinjiang, it has come to an end.

Zhen Weimin himself knows what kind of pee his subordinates are.

His eyes fell on the servant again, but the latter smiled coldly and said, "That's right, then let the tabloids be a witness and find out this black sheep!"

The assistant minister spoke so decisively that Zhen Weimin's heart was once again at ease.

This is not a trivial matter, and someone has reported it long ago.

As the top leader of the court, Li Li had his eyes fixed on this place, and immediately ordered the punishment department to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Soon, Song Guogong led the Criminal Department to take over the granary and the loaded luggage. The so-called thorough investigation was naturally to open the bags one by one.

Although this was a waste of time, but it was prepared in advance, but it could afford to delay these few days.

Song Guogong was known to be ruthless and selfless, and would not do anything to frame him for personal gain. Zhen Weimin was relieved to see him.

The only thing he can do is to confirm again and again with his servant: "Did you do anything?"

The servant of the household department said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, absolutely no one has touched these grains."
