Rebirth of the Merry Warrior

Rebirth of the Merry Military Division Chapter 3 Chaotang

Shen Chengqian sat in the sedan chair, lowered his head and thought hard, only felt that one head was bigger than the other.

First of all, the public minister above the court, he did not know it for the time being, and the original temperament of the sinking chair was extremely bad. In this court, several people would be disgusted.

I just hope nothing goes wrong.

He rubbed his temples, only to feel a throbbing pain in his head.He turned sideways, looked at Ye Xuan, and asked, "Ye Xuan, what's going on in the country recently?"

He was afraid that everyone in the court would discuss important matters, but he would not know anything about it.

Ye Xuan thought for a while, and replied: "Recently, there have been many major events in the country."

Shen Chengqian nodded: "You only pick up the most important ones and listen to them."

"If you want to talk about major events recently, the first is the flood in the south." Ye Xuan said. "Recently, the weather in the south has been weird. It has been raining heavily for several days, which has caused the river to swell and cause embankments to burst in several places."

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly: "Floods in the south? This should be a serious natural disaster. What countermeasures can the court take?"

Ye Xuan nodded, and said: "I heard about this matter, the emperor discussed it with the ministers several times in the morning, and finally handed over the matter to Xu Shangshu."

"Xu Shangshu?"

"Yes, Xu Huang, Xu Shangshu, a first-rank official in the imperial court. Concubine Jing in the harem is the eldest daughter of Xu Shangshu's knee. And the eldest son in his family is Xu Hejing, who is in the same discipline as your lord. "

Shen Chengqian frowned upon hearing the words.

Then Xu Hejing won Tanhua, no matter in terms of ranking or official position, they are all below him.

In this way, will he provoke Xu Huang's jealousy?

Ye Xuan saw that his face was not looking good, lowered his voice, and continued: "My lord, Xu Huang is an old fox. There are countless upright officials and heroes who have died at his hands. He is insidious and cunning, and he is good at hurting people secretly. My lord, please don't worry about it." Don't provoke him."

Shen Cheng nodded slightly, and said, "You said that Xu Huang has harmed many upright officials? So he is a corrupt official?"

"Yes, this Xu Shangshu is full of private pockets and cruel to Zhongliang. He is a treacherous minister." Ye Xuan said. "However, this old fox was the favorite minister of the former pilgrimage to the Holy Clan, and the current sage also relies on him very much. In my opinion, it is extremely inappropriate for him to handle the flood in the south. I don't know how much of the disaster relief money will be eaten by him. Woolen cloth."

"The money is all for saving people's lives, and he also secretly withheld it?"

"Why would he care about those victims?" Ye Xuan snorted coldly. "Anyway, they are all untouchables who have no relatives with him."

Shen Cheng smiled coldly.

This Xu Huang is simply the rebirth of Yan Song, and the rebirth of He Shen.

However, after all, he is a senior member of the court and a first-rank minister. He has strong qualifications and has served two generations of monarchs. With his own strength, it is difficult to overthrow him.

If I fight against him, maybe I won't gain much benefit, but I will also lose myself.

Just as he was thinking to himself, the coachman suddenly raised the curtain of the sedan chair, poked his head in, and said to Shen Cheng, "My lord, Xu Tanhua's sedan chair on the side is going to pass, let us stop and let them go first. My lord, let me go?" "

Shen Chengqian hadn't answered yet, but Ye Xuan beside him frowned, and said, "Then Xu Tanhua was only edited from the Qipin Imperial Academy, and he is a subordinate of your lord, yet he relied on his own power to be so rampant."

Shen Chengqian didn't look at him, looked at the coachman and said indifferently: "Let."

Even if you don't want to let him go, what's the use of being quick in your head for a while.

But he didn't want to, even if he was reborn in this era, there would still be a phenomenon of fighting for his father.

Beside him, Ye Xuan looked at him steadily, and said after a long while: "My lord... since the last coma, his temper seems to have changed a lot."

Shen Chengqian glanced at him, and said with a playful smile: "Perhaps, it's because he can see through life and death."

Shen Chengqian did not expect that he had stood in this hall for almost half an hour, and he had never seen the emperor's Long Yan.

In fact, at this time, the time of the early dynasty has long passed, but the king of the world, the lord of all things, has never appeared.

Except for Long Chenyu, he didn't know anyone in the hall.Fortunately, he was only a fourth-rank official, and his seat was far away, and the hall was quiet, and no one came to talk to him.

However, my legs are numb from standing here, and when I look at a white-haired old official in the distance, my whole body is trembling with exhaustion, where is the emperor?

Shen Cheng sighed lightly, he had no choice but to stand on the spot obediently.

But after a while, he vaguely heard the conversation of the two civil servants beside him, the emperor must have played late in the harem last night, and he hasn't woken up yet.

Why, after a corrupt official, is he a fool again?

It's no wonder that the emperor of the dynasty would use people like Xu Huang heavily. There must be many moths and treacherous people in front of a faint king.

About half an hour later, and it was nearly ten hours in a blink of an eye, the thin man in the dragon robe walked to the dragon seat surrounded by a group of eunuchs.

That Long Yan's appearance was ordinary, with dull eyes and bloodless face, a typical appearance of a coward who indulged in excess.

Shen Chengqian sighed secretly.

Now Beichen Yuan Kingdom, what about the prosperity and strength of the country, what about the harmony of the people, with such a monarch and officials, sooner or later this society will be ruined.

After thinking about it, when the chief eunuch announced in a shrill voice that he would go to court, Shen Chengqian still knelt down respectfully together with the surrounding officials.

Kneeling is kneeling, but it is unwilling, unwilling.

In the court hall, Shen Chengqian listened to the officials and the officials played trivial matters, and felt that the matter had nothing to do with him. While listening, he was bored and drowsy.

Until among the crowd, an old man with gray beard and hair about half a hundred years old stepped forward and began to ask about the flood in the south.

Needless to ask, the old man must be the high-ranking corrupt official and courtier, Xu Huang, Mr. Xu.

Shen Chengqian stood there and listened silently for a while, but found that what Xu Huang played had nothing to do with the flood in the south.In the final analysis, the main purpose of the content was just to ask for money.

Then Xu Huang stepped out of the queue, and said in the first sentence: "My minister Xu Huang told the emperor that the floods in the south are serious and the disaster situation is serious. The relief funds allocated by the emperor a few days ago have all filled the shortfall caused by the disaster, but it is still still there." Not enough. On behalf of the disaster-stricken people in the south, I dare to ask my lord to live long, and to allocate some money from the treasury to relieve the disaster."

Shen Chengqian only let out a light snort when he heard this.

I'm afraid that three to four cents, or even five or six cents out of ten of the disaster relief money went into Xu Huang's own pocket.

But he didn't want to, the emperor didn't doubt him at all, instead he followed his instructions and replied: "Then Xu Aiqing, from what you've seen, how much more money should I allocate for disaster relief?"

Xu Huang smiled indifferently, and said: "From what I see, at least 100 million silver is needed."

What a lion.

Just a few fluttering words, and you need 100 million taels of silver?

His monthly salary of Shen Chengqian is only 20 taels, so Xu Huang is really greedy, he wants so much in one bite, can he eat it?Don't be afraid of choking your throat.

Shen Cheng raised his head and looked in the direction where Xu Huang was standing.

The civil and military officials stood in a row, and they were also first-rank officials. As the leader of the generals, Long Chenyu happened to be standing beside Xu Huang.

Seeing Long Chenyu's unkind expression, Shen Chengqian couldn't help but smiled lightly.He knew that Long Chenyu would definitely not be able to see this greedy old thief, but, as a general, Long Chenyu was not qualified to take care of such things.

He thought that this old thief would open his mouth like a lion, but anyone with a little brain would ask carefully, but unexpectedly the emperor agreed.

The emperor looked in a hurry, probably he hadn't lost his mind on the important matters discussed in the early court, and only hoped to leave the court early and continue to go to the harem to find beauties to have fun.

If this continues, the country will not be a country.

Xu Huang looked at the emperor's quasi-playing, and shouted "My emperor is holy", and kneeling deeply, everyone in the court followed him.

Except for two people.

One is Long Chenyu who is so sullen that his face is turning blue at the moment.One is Shen Chengqian who walked out of the queue calmly and calmly.

Shen Chengqian took a few steps forward quietly, walked behind Xu Huang, and said loudly: "Master Xu, regarding the disaster situation in the south, I still have a few questions to ask."

Then Xu Huang stood up, glanced back at him, and said with a sneer, "Who am I? It turns out that I am a scholar. The emperor has handed over many matters in the south to the old ministers. I don't know what else to say, Mr. Bachelor."

Shen Cheng asked shallowly, "Where is the disaster-affected place?"

Xu Huang replied: "One generation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River."

Shen Chengqian asked again: "The disaster is serious, which town is it?"

Xu Huang's voice was weak, and he replied, "This... is mainly Qinghu Lake, Xinyang..."

"How many cities have been affected by the river bursting?"

"This……"

"How many acres of heaven and earth have been damaged? How many stones have lost their crops?"

"..."

"How many houses were washed away? How many victims were displaced? How many people lost their lives?"

Xu Huang had a sullen face and did not answer in silence, just staring at him.

Shen Chengqian looked at the old thief's pale face, smiled slightly complacently, bowed and said: "The emperor has entrusted Mr. Xu with great responsibility, and Mr. Xu should also live up to his holy hope. It is the right thing to investigate and deal with. Now, Mr. Xu can't even answer these basic questions, it's fresh to be an official, how did Mr. Xu calculate the 100 million taels?"

Xu Huang looked at him coldly, and said, "It seems that Mr. Shen is very familiar with the disaster situation in the south? Mr. Xu also asks your advice."

But Shen Chengqian just waved his hand and said with a smile: "The handling of the disaster in the south is a great responsibility bestowed upon Master Xu by the emperor, how dare the subordinate officials overstep it." At the end, he said: "Please Master Xu to make a good account and come up with it. Where will the 100 million taels be used, and where will the money allocated by the emperor before be used? Master Xu has a heavy responsibility, so it is better not to let the Holy Majesty and other lords have any doubts."

Xu Huang shook his body and coughed, why didn't he want to teach Shen Chengqian a lesson, but there was nothing wrong with Shen Chengqian's words, which made him unable to refute.Sulked to the end, but had nothing to say.

He had no choice but to squint his round eyes angrily, staring at Shen Chengqian, and said: "After retiring from the court today, Xu will do the accounting and give an explanation to the emperor, and also to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Shen Cheng smiled lightly and nodded.

Perhaps the use of the 100 million taels of silver will be thoroughly investigated.

But now, the relationship between him and Xu Huang has been settled.

He said that he would not provoke others and act in a low-key manner, but he was impulsive after all.

In the end, Shen Chengqian was convicted of disrespect before the imperial court and had his salary deducted for three months.

When retreating, all the ministers surrounded each other and walked out of the hall like the tide.

Through the bustling crowd, Shen Chengqian vaguely saw Long Chenyu glance at him.In the eyes, there is a faint emotion, no joy or anger can be seen.
