[Chapter 2097 Emperor Heart]
This time, the chief official responsible for delivering the food is Shen Tianyou, the head of the household department.
What the emperor pulled out from the inner treasury was indeed two million taels of silver.
But through the hands of the Minister of the Household, the two million taels of silver are only 1.5 million taels.
Then after passing the hands of Shirou Tobu, only one million remained.
In the end, it was exploited heavily, and the real money to buy food was only 200,000 taels of silver.
The five northern provinces were breached, causing the price of grain in the capital to soar. For 200,000 taels of silver, not to mention a million stone of grain, even 200,000 stone could not be bought.
Therefore, the food that actually fell into Shen Tianyou’s hands was only about 150,000 shi, but the above request made him escort a million shi to Yunhuang Prefecture.
then.
So, he conveniently sold 80,000 shi of grain to the monopoly, bought 30,000 shi of moldy old grain, and finally sent it to Yunhuang Province mixed with gravel and sand.
He thought it was a very easy job.
Unexpectedly, Song Yan dared not to accept the food sent by the household department.
For a while, Shen Tianyou rushed to Anxiety and asked to see Song Yan, but was rejected.
He was even more flustered when he was rejected, and simply planned to run away. As long as he returned to the capital, the new governor in this place would not be able to help him at all.
However, Song Yan sent troops to detain him.
Then, Xuan Yiwei came.
This time, it was a thousand households of Xuanyiwei who came to Yunhuang Province to do business. After ordering people to check the grain cart, he knew what to do, and directly ordered people to arrest Shen Tianyou.
Just as Xuanyiwei Qianhu was about to leave, Song Yan arrived.
“See Your Excellency the Governor!”
Xuanyiwei Qianhu Liu Zhen bowed and saluted.
“Liu Qianhu doesn’t need to be too polite!”
Song Yan waved his hand and invited Liu Zhen into a room.
“Who does Liu Qianhu think did this?” Song Yan looked at him and asked.
“This matter has to be investigated!” Liu Zhen said.
“Does Liu Qianhu think that Shen Tianyou will confess the people behind him?” Song Yan asked again.
“This?” Liu Zhen looked embarrassed and didn’t know how to answer.
“As the saying goes, officials protect each other. If Shen Tianyou doesn’t confess to the people after his birth, his family will be supported. If he confesses, not only will he die, but also his family will not get a good death, right?” Song Yan asked bluntly.
How could Liu Zhen not know about the twists and turns of the civil servants.
He could even have predicted that even if he brought Shen Tianyou back to the capital, he would not be able to investigate why, and at most make Shen Tianyou a scapegoat.
“Does Liu Qianhu want to make a contribution?” Song Yan asked again.
Hearing this, Liu Zhen’s face couldn’t help but show entanglement and hesitation.
“Xuanyiwei serves His Majesty, not a civil servant. Even if you sell it to them, they won’t promote you, nor will they want to see you!” Song Yan said with a smile.
“Also ask the adults to give pointers!”
Liu Zhen suddenly stood up and bowed to Song Yan.
“Let someone escort Liu Zhen in!”
Song Yan smiled mysteriously.
Soon, Shen Tianyou, who had already put on the prison uniform, was escorted in, and he seemed very quiet.
“Shen Tianyou, don’t you have anything to say?”
Song Yan asked.
The other party did not speak.
“It looks like you’re going to fight to the end!” Song Yan shook his head, and then pointed at Shen Tianyou’s eyebrows, then he got up and walked outside: “Liu Qianhu, if you have any questions, just ask. !”
With doubts, Liu Zhen asked Shen Tianyou a question, but found that the other party was unusually cooperative.
For a while, he was a little excited, and immediately asked a few more questions, and the other party was very cooperative.
Two days later.
Xuanyiwei escorted Shen Tianyou back to the capital, and sent a confession to Emperor Wei.
After reading Shen Tianyou’s confession, Emperor Wei’s face was almost ashen with anger.
He then summoned Liu Zhen in person.
That night, Xuanyi Guards broke into the house of the Minister of the Household, the Minister of the Household, and other officials of the Ministry of Household. In just one night, the Ministry of Household was 36 years old and sent to prison.
For a time, all the court officials were in danger.
The next morning, Wei Di directly dropped dozens of confessions.
After reading this confession, the faces of the ministers became extremely ugly, and they hated Xuanyiwei so much in their hearts.
Because there is Shen Tianyou’s confession, both the Minister of the Household and the Minister of Household have explained it.
Especially in the years when the Minister of the Ministry of Housing was in the office, he actually embezzled more than five million taels of silver, and the two servants were not far behind, one embezzled three million, and the other embezzled four million.
The remaining household officials range from one million to hundreds of thousands.
It was because of this that Emperor Wei was so angry that he was almost evacuated by them.
After the meeting.
Xuan Yiwei started raiding his home and found more than 20 million taels of silver in total.
a few days later.
Cai Zixiao was named Minister of the Household and ordered him to repurchase one million stone of military rations and send it to Yunhuang Prefecture.
At the same time, Liu Zhen was also promoted, and was promoted to the deputy commander of Xuanyiwei.
a few days later.
Millions of stone rations were delivered to Yunhuang Province.
Because so many heads have just been chopped off, no one dares to commit crimes at this juncture this time, not to mention, Song Yan is still a student of Lord Shang Shu, who would dare to do anything with food.
The day after receiving the food, Song Yan sent troops.
It only took three days to capture a county town in Chiyuan Province.
The news of the good news reached the capital, which made Emperor Wei very happy.
Next, Song Yan took two months to recover the entire territory of Chiyuan Province, killing 20,000 rebels and recruiting 60,000 rebels.
After a one-month hiatus.
Song Yan continued to attack the northwest province.
The northwest province had been destroyed long ago, so in just 20 days, the entire territory was recaptured, 20,000 rebels were killed and 50,000 were recruited.
Here, three of the five northern provinces were recaptured.
Then he broke into the Northern Desert Province, this time it took almost a month and a half, and finally, there were 200,000 rebels who all retreated to the Longyou Province.
And Song Yan’s name also spread throughout the Wei Kingdom with the recovery of four provinces.
Seeing that the recovery of Longyouxing Province was imminent, someone who was holding back appeared.
One after another, the court ministers participated in Song Yan on various charges.
Some people even suggested that Song Yan should be recalled to the capital, and another person should be sent to take over the army to recover Longyou Province.
Because the soldiers and horses in Song Yan’s hands now approached 400,000 after reorganizing the rebel army in the four provinces. If he had a rebellion, he would definitely be more terrifying than the rebel army.
Knowing this, Emperor Wei pretended to be confused.
Pretending to believe what the courtiers said, he actually ordered Song Yan to return to Beijing.
Cai Zixiao, the minister of households, saw Emperor Wei’s decree, and couldn’t help but feel a deep disappointment in his heart.
soon.
Song Yan received an imperial edict from Emperor Wei.
All his subordinates were extremely angry, but Song Yan smiled and accepted the imperial edict.
“Sir Song, Your Majesty has an order to leave immediately after you receive the imperial decree!” The eunuch who announced the decree said sharply, and at the same time, dozens of Xuanyiwei masters who accompanied him also locked Song Yan with their qi machine.
