Murong Ju knelt down with his two sons.

The leading eunuch said loudly: "Your Majesty ordered Xuan Murongju to enter the palace immediately to see him!"

The three people kneeling on the ground were taken aback for a moment, Murong Ju recovered and immediately agreed: "I obey the order!"

On the way to the palace, Murong Ju was always in a state of anxiety. He is just a small school's Shangshu Youcheng, and he rarely even has the chance to meet the emperor, let alone be summoned to meet the emperor. What is the emperor's intention? ?

When he got outside the gate of Qinzheng Hall, he was still in a state of anxiety, and he waited for a long time before being announced into the hall.

Walking into the hall, Murong Ju found that there were several court dignitaries standing in the hall, all of whom were important ministers with the status of prime minister. Many thoughts and thoughts flashed through his mind at this moment.

"Chen Shang Shu You Cheng Murong Ju sees Your Majesty!" Murong Ju yelled and then knelt down. His official position was too small, and it was the first time he was ordered to have an audience with him. He was able to meet the emperor with formal etiquette.

Zhao Junsheng was looking at a file at this time, which was Murong Ju's file, which recorded his background, life history, family situation, interpersonal relationship, reputation as an official, political achievements, political opinions and so on.

After reading the dossier, Zhao Junsheng looked up at Murong Ju, who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked, "I heard that you suggested that the ministers not hold the triumphant entry ceremony for the soldiers from the Northern Expedition?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"At that time, why did you want to advise the important ministers not to hold the celebration?"

Murong Ju replied: "Your Majesty, I thought that a major disaster broke out at that time, causing hundreds of thousands of victims to be homeless, and more than one million victims were affected. It is really inappropriate to hold celebrations. , It is likely to cause the dissatisfaction of the victims, and even more serious consequences! Our court has already suffered heavy losses because of this disaster, and if another major incident occurs, it is not impossible to shake the foundation of the country!"

Zhao Junsheng closed the file, got up and walked out from behind the case, "You should know that this move will cause strong dissatisfaction among the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, and the soldiers are really going to make a fuss. You are just a small Shangshu Youcheng. If you can't bear their anger, even I may not be able to withstand the pressure, aren't you afraid?"

Murong Ju replied honestly: "Your Majesty, I didn't think that much at the time!"

Zhao Junsheng showed a gratified smile on his face, "What a person who didn't think so much at the time! The imperial court needs a person like you who doesn't care about personal gain or loss, as long as you believe it is the truth, you will have the guts to risk your head and try your best to remonstrate. Let's die! "

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Murong Ju secretly breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved, and stood up.

Zhao Junsheng walked up to Murong Ju and asked, "What do you think about the breach of the Yellow River embankment in Hanoi? Is it possible that it was caused by the fact that the embankment was not strong enough, not high enough, and the sediment on the river bottom was not cleared in time?" ?”

Chapter 927

Murong Ju was not slow to respond. After hearing Zhao Junsheng's question, he immediately thought of whether the promotion and breach of the embankment in the inner section of the Yellow River was caused by poor quality?If so, this matter may be too big.

His face showed shock: "Your Majesty, the imperial court allocates more than half of the total amount of money allocated to the counties along the Yellow River for flood control every year. How could the Yellow River embankment burst because the quality of the embankment is not good enough? If this is the case... ···”

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and looked at Murong Ju: "How?"

Murong Ju said in a trembling tone: "There are definitely people who are greedy for the funds for flood control projects, and this kind of greed for ink is not a small matter, but a large area, from top to bottom, and it will involve many, many officials. Bring out the radish and bring out the mud..."

Zhao Junsheng asked: "How do you know that it is a large-scale corruption of ink from top to bottom?"

Murong Ju's face was pale, he was frightened, he took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, the flood control of the Yellow River and all the rivers in my Dagan territory has never been interrupted since the founding of Dagan, nearly 20 years. Yes, but so far there have been no rumors of officials being greedy for money for flood control projects. You must know that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. When this happens, it is really not tricky at all, or someone has managed it up and down. Everything is done, but everyone who handles it is dragged into the water. The minister is in charge of money, food and grain, and the truth is clear. It is said that the funds for flood control were not corrupted or used for other purposes in the process of appropriation, let alone the minister. If you don’t believe it, His Majesty will definitely not believe it either!”

Zhao Junsheng walked back and forth in the main hall twice, and said to Murong Ju: "Only one day after I returned to Chang'an, someone secretly wrote a letter saying that the embankment was broken because of a problem with the embankment. , rather than other river embankment problems? I don’t care whether this matter is true or not, but since someone has reported it closely, and it’s not just one person, it means that this matter is not groundless, and it must be investigated thoroughly to reassure me! I summoned these prime ministers Come here to discuss this matter, they all recommend candidates to preside over the investigation, someone recommended you, and your official position is still the lowest among those recommended, but I want you, the person with the lowest official position, to investigate this case , do you have the courage and confidence to investigate this matter clearly?"

Murong Ju's complexion changed, the first thought in his mind was not rejection, but who recommended him?What is the other party's purpose?To use him, or frame him?Or have other ulterior motives?Why didn't the emperor tell who the recommender was?The person who recommended him must be among the few ministers present.

Seeing that Murong Ju did not answer Zhao Junsheng's question for a long time, the eunuch Kang Yide scolded in a low voice: "Murong Ju, why didn't you answer your Majesty's question?"

Murong Ju was awakened by the scolding, he pondered for a moment and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has an order, and I will certainly die. It's just that my official rank is too low, and I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public. My personal honor and disgrace come second. I'm worried that your majesty will be ruined." big deal!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Low rank is not a problem. Since I have selected you to investigate this case, I will consider everything for you. I only ask if you have the courage and confidence to investigate this case?"

Murong Ju bowed and said: "Your Majesty trusts me, and it is my duty to share the worries of Your Majesty, even if my body is smashed to pieces!"

Zhao Junsheng chose Murong Ju to investigate the case after careful consideration. The candidates recommended by other ministers all had backgrounds, and only this Murong Ju had no background.

This person has been an official in the previous dynasty, and he has served in the central government for many years. He has rich experience in managing government affairs. If there is a problem with the breach of the dike, this person does not lack fighting experience and should be able to handle it.

Another point is that according to the records of the court case, Murong Ju is really clean and honest, unlike many other officials who are fake and clean, and this person is determined and treats himself and his family harshly to an outrageous degree. People with faith, such people are not easy to be bribed or dragged into trouble.

Zhao Junsheng immediately said: "Well, I ordered you to take full responsibility for the investigation of the breach of the Yellow River in Hanoi and Xingyang! To facilitate your investigation, I appointed you as an imperial envoy and a senior official; I gave you a gold medal, see the gold medal If you see me! I give you the right to make decisions on the fly, you can kill first and play later!"

All the ministers collectively took a deep breath, seeing that it was nothing more than a first-rank official, the imperial gold medal, the right to make decisions on the fly, and the right to be killed first, any of which is the right of life and death, even if they are prime ministers, they have to kneel in front of Murong Ju.Not only them, even the queen, prince, and prince had to kneel when they saw Murong Ju holding the gold medal.

That is to say, from now on, besides the emperor, Murong Ju is the most powerful person in the world, but also the most dangerous person!

Murong Ju only felt the pressure on his shoulders suddenly increased, and his heart was getting cold gradually. The power in his hands was too terrifying and too dangerous. If he made a careless move, he might be killed by the nine clans.

"This errand is not easy!" Murong Ju felt bitter for a while, but he could only continue, bowing down and saying: "I obey the order!"

"Be flat!"

In the next few days, Zhao Junsheng will not only deal with the issues of rewards for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, pensions for the fallen soldiers, and resettlement of the Rouran people who surrendered, but also deal with related problems encountered in disaster relief in a timely manner. Other aspects of government affairs cannot be let go. He was so busy that he planned to take Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and their children to organize an autumn outing and barbecue during the golden autumn season, but unfortunately, he never had time.

On this day, Zhao Junsheng condoled a group of soldiers who were injured during the Northern Expedition. This group of wounded soldiers was one-half of all the wounded soldiers, and the remaining half of the wounded soldiers failed to survive due to wound infection. .

The medical level of the generals of the dry army is much better than that of the previous dynasty. Many medical experts have been organized to develop several kinds of healing ointments for first aid on the battlefield. The distribution is also very comprehensive. There are two medical soldiers in the establishment of a tooth.

Even so, half of the wounded soldiers died from wound infection.

When returning to the palace from the wounded soldiers' recuperation place, the eunuch Kang Yide greeted him and reported: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent a secret performance!"

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately said: "Where is the secret performance?"

According to the Dagan system, all memorials must first be sent to the Secretary of General Administration, which will be reviewed and classified by the Secretary of General Administration before being sent to the emperor for reading, but the secret memorial is an exception. , but there are not many people who have the right to secret performances, and their identities are known to no one except the emperor.

Kang Yide took out a memorial and handed it over.

Zhao Junsheng took the memorial and looked at it. The memorial was sealed with wax paint, and there was no trace of damage. The appearance of this memorial was no different from ordinary memorials, but there was a secret mark on it, which most people could not see. Come out, only those who know its mystery can see it.

This is a real secret note, not the one that Zhao Junsheng used a few blank notes to fool the ministers a few days ago.

He took the melody and walked to the throne and sat down, peeled off the seal with a paper knife, opened the melody and read it.

This seal was sent by Prince Zhao Dong. Zhao Dong is currently serving as the county magistrate in Xingyang, and he has grown from a small official to a county magistrate in three years. His talent is very good.

Zhao Dong said in the secret memorial that the Yellow River's embankment burst has a major secret, which may involve major corruption cases, and he has only touched the tip of the iceberg.

"Sure enough, there is a problem!" Zhao Junsheng's face was serious after watching the secret performance.

There is no news from Murong Ju yet, he has not been away for a long time, only a month, and it is impossible to find out some problems, and Zhao Junsheng is not good at urging, lest it will be self-defeating.

After thinking about it, Zhao Junsheng picked up a pen and blacked out some relevant titles and inscriptions on the secret memorial, so that people could not see who wrote the memorial.

"Kang Yide!"

Kang Yide stepped forward and agreed: "The old slave is here!"

Zhao Junsheng handed over the altered melody and said: "Send someone to deliver this to Murong Ju, I believe it will be of some help to him!"

"promise!"
