Nine thousand years old [rebirth]
Chapter 97
Not long after Yin Chengyu led his people away from Beijing, Emperor Longfeng followed the original itinerary and went to the hot spring palace in the suburbs of Beijing to recuperate.Yin Ciguang also went with him because his sickness was less than one month old.
And Xue Shu, as Emperor Longfeng's confidant, was left to take charge of the government on his behalf. Small matters were discussed and decided by him and the cabinet scholars. If there were major matters, he would go to the palace to ask Emperor Longfeng to decide.
During the New Year's Eve, it is a time of leisure, and there is nothing else to do except the snowstorm in Huguang Feizao.
Officials in Beijing and China communicated with each other and chatted over wine, and they inevitably mentioned the prince who went to Huguang to relieve the disaster, and the eldest prince who was brought by Emperor Longfeng and was loved by him.
I don't know when it started, there are rumors that Emperor Longfeng actually dotes on the Eldest Prince even more. Previously, the Eldest Prince disguised himself as a woman to hide his identity. Zhonggong and the Yu family were unhappy, so they made this bad move just now.
Now that the emperor's position is stable, the eldest prince is about to lose the crown, and he has made great contributions when the pimple plague is rampant, and his talent is no worse than that of the prince.Emperor Longfeng disclosed the identity of the First Prince and kept him with him all the time, probably to support the First Prince to compete with the Crown Prince.
As we all know, the dispute over the "heir" of the throne has always been an extremely sensitive topic.
Over the years, the crown prince has made countless achievements by relying on the Yu family.But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Emperor Longfeng didn't like the crown prince or the Yu family, so many people in the court speculated on the emperor's mind and bet their treasure on the second and third princes.
I just don't want the second prince to say no, and now there is an eldest prince.
The second prince and the third prince were young, and their political achievements were inferior to the prince's, but this eldest prince was different. He was favored by the emperor, and he also had the word "long". The prince is bigger.
All of a sudden, there were rumors in Wangjing City that Emperor Longfeng intended to support the eldest prince to "establish the head".
Xue Shu flipped through the brochure handed over by the fan servant below, which recorded in detail which officials drank and talked freely on a certain day and time of a certain year. dialogue.
This kind of record is not the only case, since Yin Ciguang followed Emperor Longfeng to the palace in the suburbs of Beijing, similar rumors suddenly increased.
Naturally, there was the result of Emperor Longfeng's deliberate laissez-faire, but more often, there were people behind the scenes to fuel the flames.
Putting away the record booklet, Xue Shu looked a little gloomy.
He didn't even need to send someone to investigate, he could guess who was behind the scenes.
Either Concubine Wen Gui or Yin Chengjing.
It doesn't matter which one it is, the left and right are enemies, and they will be eliminated sooner or later.
Xue Shu called Wei Xihe over.
Wei Xihe is now in charge of thousands of households in Xichang, and there is a governor of Xichang on his head.But in fact, since Xue Shu gave Zhao Youwei a disgrace last time, Zhao Youwei spared his life and honestly let go of power.
Now Xichang is under the control of Wei Xihe, and he is under the orders of Xue Shu.
"Send someone to spread the news that the third prince, Dongshou, has been injured fundamentally and is inhumane."
Rumors are the most difficult to clarify, and rumors involving the "elder brother" dispute are easy to get darker and darker.The person behind the release of the news was just to drive a strife between Yin Chengyu and Yin Ciguang.
That being the case, he simply suppressed it with another more eye-catching news.
People are always forgetful. As time goes by and there are new things to talk about, they will naturally forget the old ones.
Wei Xihe was surprised for a moment when he heard the words, and quickly understood his intention: "This subordinate takes orders."
Two days later, new rumors spread in Beijing.
It is said that the third prince fell in love with the Tatar princess at first sight during the winter hunting, but the Tatar princess fell in love with the prince.The third prince was upset, so he seized the Tatar princess while he was on the hunt.But the Tatar princess is extremely hot-tempered, how can she be easy to bully?In a fit of rage, she poured medicine and poisoned the third prince, and castrated the third prince!
It is said that when the third prince was carried out from the paddock, his lower body was bloody and frightening.But the Tatar mission felt that it was wrong, so they had to pay the princess to the third prince as a side concubine.
The rumors are half true and false, but they are very eye-catching.
After it was released, it quickly spread without the need for the Xichang Fanwei to fan the flames secretly.There were even a few more versions in just two days, and they were all passed on, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
The officials who accompanied the driver to participate in the winter hunting of the red rhinoceros were almost broken through the threshold of the mansion. This rumor is too shocking. Whether it is out of curiosity or out of interest considerations, the officials in Beijing and China are all asking about the winter hunting day. matter.
And according to the officials who participated in the winter hunting, some details actually matched the rumors!
The third prince was indeed carried out from the paddock, his lower body was covered with blood, and he said that he injured his thigh when he fell to save the Tartar princess.
I broke my thigh, and I wanted to cover it up when I heard it.
Even Yao Zhao'an, the future father-in-law of the Third Prince and the left commander of the Fifth Army, couldn't sit still, and went to the Third Prince's mansion to find out about the situation.
It is said that after the incident, the third prince was so angry that he smashed a room.
Everyone's attention was turned to whether the third prince could be humane, and no one cared about the dispute between the crown prince and the first prince for "heir apparent".
Xue Shu looked at the brochure Wei Xihe sent, and snorted coldly: "Create some trouble for them first, and clean them up after our family comes back,"
"Will the Governor leave tomorrow?" Wei Xihe asked.
"Let's go tonight. Jingzhong will hand it over to you and Cui Ci. Find more things for them, and don't tell them to relax."
Just after Yin Chengyu went to Huguang, Xue Shu ordered people to let the rumors go out, saying that there was an old fairy in Wudang Mountain, who had profound Taoism, understood the past and present, and understood the way of reincarnation.
In the past two days, the "wind" finally reached Emperor Longfeng's ears.Ever since he got sick, he was getting older and unable to handle many things.Then he believed in gods and Buddhas even more.As soon as he got the news, he sent a letter to Xue Shu, asking him to go to Wudang Mountain to invite the old gods to Beijing.
Xue Shu is naturally obliged.
It has been six or seven days since His Highness left Beijing, and he couldn't wait to see him.
Yin Chengyu took four officials from the household department and several local officials, and spent five or six days investigating the entire disaster-stricken state capital in Huguang.
After confirming the facts of the disaster, the local government was ordered to register the household registration and loss of the affected people. After returning to Beijing and reporting to the household department, the affected area can be exempted from taxes for three years.
However, tax exemption is a long-term strategy. The current disaster situation is simply exempt from taxes, and it is necessary to find a way to get relief materials.
The weather is cold and the roads are difficult to walk. The disaster preparedness food borrowed from the surrounding granaries will take half a month at the fastest to arrive.
Far cannot quench near thirst.
"Huguang is a land of fish and rice, and there are many gentry and big families. Now that the people are suffering, we can suggest that the gentry donate more money and food to relieve the victims." Yin Chengyu thought about it.
These gentry and wealthy households have large farms under their names, so they must have sufficient food.
For disaster relief, in addition to the imperial court, local wealthy households and gentry would also donate money and materials.In return, the imperial court will set up a stele of meritorious deeds to commend it.
"Your Highness doesn't know that before the snow disaster was reported, there were gentry and rich households who offered to donate food and relief. It's just..." Yu Zhifu showed a bit embarrassed look, hesitated for a while and still gritted his teeth: "It's just that those who are willing to donate food and materials later , and even merchants who did not raise their prices were secretly warned by the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce, and no one dared to donate after that.”
The Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Huguang, and it includes many transactions such as grain, cloth, water transportation, salt, wine, tea, etc. The merchants in the chamber of commerce are located in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, but any merchants of a certain size within the boundaries of Huguang, All joined the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce.
Scattered merchants can use the contacts of the chamber of commerce to buy and sell goods, but at the same time they also have to take [-]% of the profits to the chamber of commerce as a reward.
The Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce is located in Wuchang Prefecture. Its chairman, Zhou Zhiling, was born in Juren. His wife, the Shao family, is somewhat distantly related to the Shao family in Beijing.With this relationship, Zhou Zhiling developed the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce. Over the years, he has become an undisputed figure in the Huguang area, and even local officials occasionally rely on his support.
The previous governor of Huguang had a close relationship with Zhou Zhiling, so Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce would provide support whenever there was a major or minor disaster.
However, Jiang Zheng, the current governor who has only been in office for two years, is a straightforward person, and he hates these gossips between officials and businessmen the most.In the past two years, he rejected Zhou Zhiling's invitations several times, and strictly restrained his subordinates, never allowing him to bend the law for personal gain and accept bribes.
Just last year, a dude from the Zhou family broke the law. The Zhou family begged Jiang Zheng, but not only was he turned away by Jiang Zheng, but later this junior was sent to a remote place according to the law.
So this winter's snowstorm, the Zhou family not only refused to donate themselves, but also did not allow other merchants to donate.What's more, they ordered the merchants under the chamber of commerce to hoard food, cloth, charcoal, and take the opportunity to raise prices.
Not to mention the ordinary poor, even some small rich families can hardly afford to buy things for the winter.
After Jiang Zheng heard the news, he also sent Yu Zhifu to negotiate.
But Zhou Zhiling was cunning at that time. He only said that the weather was cold and the road was difficult. It was not easy for the merchants to transport the goods back. There were only a few goods left in the warehouse. Biting refused to lower the price.
Although there is an old tradition of donations from wealthy gentry, now people are unwilling to donate, and Jiang Zheng can't donate on a per-person basis, and he can't control merchants from raising prices, so he can only find other ways.
"A distant relative with the Shao family in the capital?" Yin Chengyu clicked his tongue, finally understanding Shao Tian's intention of suddenly proposing to send the prince to Huguang for disaster relief.
"The Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce and the Zhou family, did they commit crimes in the past?"
"No." Yu Zhifu said: "Whether it's the Zhou family or the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce, they all have a very good reputation in Huguang. Zhou Zhiling is even a well-known benevolent person."
"If you are really a good person, why would you hoard it during the snowstorm?" Yin Chengyu tapped on the table with his fingers, thinking about how to start with the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce.
If the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce and the Zhou family had committed crimes, he could have confiscated them after inquiring about the crime, and the food and silver obtained from the confiscation would be just for disaster relief.
But if the other party pretends well, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a move for a while.
When he was frowning and thinking, he suddenly heard a familiar voice from the door: "The Dongchang policeman is good at arresting, no matter how cunning a fox is, he can't escape the Dongchang's eyes and ears. Your Highness, why don't you leave this matter to the minister. "
Yin Chengyu followed the sound to look, and saw Xue Shu, dressed in a snowstorm, pushing the door in.
