20. North Capital New Shogunate
Some articles reported by Chang'an Palace openly shouted that around Xu Can's case, the bigger and more terrifying giant beetles would be completely excavated from the wet soil and shrouded in the blue sky and white sun.
The emperor was very passive and anxious.
What if Gao Yue and his army can’t have enough food?
"These 400,000 stones of food must be sent to Yanzhou City, Weibei as soon as possible." The emperor was furious and made a clear request to Dou Shen.
But Dou Shen was very stubborn, just kneeling in front of the emperor, tears flowing, but he didn't let go, saying: "Xu Can used the corruption to use the supervision of various inspectors and transportation warehouses of the Jianghuai provinces and transport warehouses to steal the stolen money. The stolen money is so huge, which shows that the entire Duzhi Department and the Salt and Iron Department of the court have shocking problems. According to the system, whether it is hidden left and right in the treasury, the Taifu Shaofu Tan, or the Taicang, the Censorate, and the Ministry of Justice have the responsibilities and power to audit and investigate them. The minister is stupid and does not know whether there are thieves like Xu Can in this 400,000 stone of grain and 3.5 million guan of money. They can only hope for national laws."
"What you mean is that Ban Hong and Gao Yue are also greedy?"
"I have never said this, but before Xu Can's crime was prosecuted, more than one person swears in front of me to ensure Xu Can's integrity."
"The military situation is like fire, why not wait until the war is over before checking?"
"Your Majesty, once the military rations and money arrive in the barracks, people eat horses and chew them, and transfer them to reward them, they will be like mud cows entering the sea. After the war is over, the money and food are over, how can I check it?"
The emperor was very angry, "Your investigation will be done, and I will first allocate money and food from Shenceku and Shenweikuli."
As a result, Li Zezhi, the King of Guo who now controls the Shenwei Army, immediately wrote a memorial saying: "Shenceku, Shenweiku is the granary of Your Majesty's Imperial Guard. It is the reliance of my Tang Jiangshan. How can I use it to hide it and go to the border army?" Li Zezhi also instigated the children of Shenwei to make trouble and deceived them that Your Majesty believed in slander and wanted to detain your clothes and food gifts to the Xingyuan Dingwu Army.
"I had done this in Wuyan City in my third year of high school. If the Holy Lord tolerate it, I will disperse. The Holy Lord finds someone to take care of the Imperial City and the Daming Palace!" Many of the children of Divine Power shouted so much.
Three days later, the emperor summoned Dou Shen again.
If Dou Shen dared to be so domineering before the relocation of Fengtian, Li Shi would definitely have a derogatory letter and asked him to go to Lantian Post, and then sent a few middle-aged officials to take poisonous wine and sticks to kill this person.
But now Emperor Li Shi is much more mature than when he just ascended the throne.
He already knows how to retreat and compromise.
He knew that behind Dou Shen were the several unfair towns in Kanto, so Dou Shen was fearless.
There is information on the Imperial Capital's patrol and supervision: Li Na of the Lu Army in Pingding, Wu Shaocheng of Huaixi, Tian Xu of Wei Bo, and Liu Xuanzuo, the Xuanwu Army of Bian Song, were all in a sensation and supported Dou Shen behind his back.
The purpose of these governors was to use Dou Shen's hands to completely turn the imperial court's patrol into a nameless "corpse" and divide and extract the rent and taxes and salt profits from the Jianghuai and Southeast by themselves.
Among them, Liu Xuanzuo wanted to seize Gao Yue's military power, not only wanted Bian Song, but also controlled the army in Shannan, northwest and Shuofang, and collected the interests and glory of fighting against Western Fan.
Li Na and Wu Shaocheng and others of course wanted to kill Gao Yue's power. They knew that if Gao Yue wiped out Dangxiang and restored Helong from Xifan, the next step would be to reduce the vassal under the banner of the emperor. The best way was to knock Gao Yue down before he became completely bigger and stronger.
Dou Shen wanted to sell the interests of the court in exchange for their support and confront political hostilities inside and outside the court, such as Gao Yue, Ban Hong, and Wei Gao.
All the towns in Kanto were secretly bribing Dou Shen, and the group hit it off and formed an alliance.
Dou Shen was in the Political Affairs Hall, and he was also aware of the Censorate. Inside, there were General Li Zezhi, the general of the Shenwei Army, as a clerk, and outside, there were many towns to help him. It would be unwise for the emperor to force himself at this time.
As mentioned earlier, Li Shi now knows how to overcome hardness with softness.
Sure enough, the emperor took the initiative to say to Dou Shen: "I have asked the Hanlin scholars to draft an edict, demoted Xu Can to a foreigner, and his family and relatives, and more than 100 servants were exiled to Lingnan."
"Since Xu Can deserves his guilt, he can..."
The emperor knew that Dou Shen was not strong enough, so he said: "It would be better to follow the story of Han Huan and Liu Yan in the past. The wealth of the West Wei Bridge west, northwest, south of the mountain, east of the East and west Sichuan will be returned to Banhong; the east of the East Wei Bridge will be returned to Zhang Pang to judge the case, how about it?"
This is actually equivalent to dividing the two taxes originally under the Duzhisi to the whole world into two again in order to compromise with Dou Shen.
But Dou Shen still didn't answer.
"I have dismissed Ban Hong's subordinate minister and appointed him as the free position of Wei Qing, recalled Su Bian, the doctor of the Cang Ministry, and ordered the Duzhisi to be sentenced to Qing, how about?" The emperor finally asked Dou Shen to be sentenced to the third department.
"I dare not judge the Duzhisi alone, and I am willing to recommend Pei Yanling, the young minister of the Ministry of Agriculture, to Your Majesty." Dou Shen was actually very modest.
The emperor sneered in his heart, and then said that the Censorate and the Bi-Team could investigate the national treasury and the transfer treasury, but first, fifteen to twenty-hundred thousand stones of military ration should be distributed to Yanzhou City.
Dou Shen also agreed, but Dou Shen was not a fool. He was afraid that Gao Yue would be out of control again after obtaining this batch of food, so he simply asked to go into battle in person, openly saying, "The court gathered troops to fight against the Dangxiang for many years. Gao Yue was a 100,000 troops to provide funds for the management of the government. However, Yue was respectful to the enemy and occasionally had a small victory, but he was a great enemy. Therefore, he had not succeeded so far. He also asked for money to pay for various troops and horses to open the field, but in fact he was the emperor so angry that he trembled secretly.) I thought the thief could not be forgiven, but because of his infidelity, he had to work hard to get a tax on the army and pay a fortune. I had no peace. I asked myself to supervise the army and pursue the battle, and I would definitely take the ten thousand cities to comfort the holy."
Dou Shen’s implication is that it is okay to put this batch of food and money, but it must be used by me personally, and the merits of the extermination of Dangxiang must be my own.
"Okay, I will dismiss the five armies of the Imperial Camp and change it to a special order to the shogunate, and use the Lord as the governor of the Dangxiang to recruit envoys." The emperor sighed, as if he wanted to continue to compromise.
But Dou Shen said that I am not aware of martial arts and would like to recommend the Situ Liu Xuanzuo as the chief recruitment envoy, and I can be the "Dangxiang Xuanfu Solving and Discipline Envoy" as the Minister of the Secretariat."
The emperor said it was okay, the shogunate could hire a court official on his own.
In the end, Dou Shen gave a package list:
Dangxiang Zhaozhao was uneasy in Yanzhou, but changed to Taiyuan. Dou Shen and I were the commander of Xuanwei and the governor of Taiyuan, and Liu Xuanzuo was the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the commander of the Dangxiang.
The emperor actually agreed to this.
