Royal road

"The prefect of Yanmen should be killed!"

In the main hall, there was shouting and cursing.A memorial was thrown on the ground, and the emperor raised his brows upright, and said, "It snowed heavily, and only one racecourse was reported as affected, but the casualties in the county were concealed. Is he looking to deceive me?!"

Now Zhao Guo already has a set of standard procedures for disaster relief.The disaster situation is divided into ten grades. Once a disaster occurs, officials must immediately survey the disaster rating, count the casualties, and report to the court layer by layer.In the event of a catastrophe, the governor of the state must come to investigate the facts in person, and may use the treasury as appropriate to calm the people first.The results of the disaster survey should be compiled into a book and reviewed by the household department.Any late reporting, underreporting, or false reporting will be severely punished!

Such strict disaster relief procedures have been in operation for several years.Even if floods and droughts occur, they can be resolved in time.However, unexpectedly, the first malfeasance happened in Bingzhou!And it is also the key point of Yanmen County.If it was the Xianbei and Qiang Hu bandits, would the Yanmen prefect also conceal the report and kill the good and pretend to be meritorious? !

What is even more disturbing is the origin of the prefect of Yanmen.This son is not a son of aristocratic family, but a poor family selected by the system department.Can such a bold concealment, is there a problem with the local treasury?If the treasury is in short supply, the basket will be even bigger.None of the officials in Yanmen can escape!

One ring after another, just thinking about it makes people shudder.Bingzhou was rectified by him, and such a mess could happen, how could Liang Feng not be angry? !

The emperor was furious, and all the maids in the palace fell to their knees, trembling.Liang Feng didn't even look at them, he said sharply: "Recruit Zhang Bin, Xi Jian, Duan Qin, Yan Bin, Cui Ji, and Guo Xing to enter the palace immediately!"

All the important ministers of Taiwan and cabinet have been named, this is a big deal.How could the servant dare to be negligent, and trotted all the way to deliver the decree.Not long after, a few people arrived at the Chuigong Hall to meet the emperor.

There is no room for others to spy on the forbidden dialogue.Knowing the seriousness of the matter, the servants all backed away for three feet. Even so, they could still hear scolding from the hall from time to time.After talking for an hour, all the ministers resigned one after another.A steady stream of dossiers came in.

Seeing that the palace gate was about to be locked, the commotion in the Chui Gong Hall hadn't stopped.Guo Nvshi frowned, and whispered to Xiao Huangmen next to her, "Quickly invite General Yi into the palace."

It has been a long time since His Majesty has been so angry. If he wants to appease this thunderous anger, only General Yi can do it.

Frowning tightly, Liang Feng quickly flipped through the file in his hand.In addition to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, there are secret reports from Xinling.What is hidden under the dossier is simply shocking.Even though Zhang Bin tried hard to persuade him, he didn't intend to let the Yanmen prefect go.If you don't kill, how can you make a warning to others? !

As he was watching, someone suddenly said, "Your Majesty, General Hussars, please see me."

Liang Feng raised his head abruptly, with fire in his eyes: "Who told him? Leaking forbidden Chinese, how bold!"

This crime is really deadly.Guo Nvshi immediately knelt down: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Guo Nvshi is a confidential confidant of the Liang family who has been with him all the way.Now there is no owner in the harem, and he is in charge of most of the affairs in the palace.However, today when the emperor was angry, she didn't dare to defend herself, she just lowered her head and fell on the ground.

"My lord, this minister has finished dealing with the chores at hand and hurried into the palace." Before he could be summoned, a voice came through the palace gate.I saw Yiyan stepping into the hall, throwing off his robe, and kneeling on the ground.

This is extremely rude, not to mention the unruly title of "Master".However, the emperor on the seat just frowned, and said: "Get up. Have you eaten dinner yet?"

Yi Yanchang stood up: "Not yet."

"Pass the meal." Liang Feng put down the brush in his hand and ordered.

Guo Nushi breathed a sigh of relief, stood up carefully, and backed out.It seems that calling General Yi to come is indeed right.If it weren't for him, the emperor would not know when he would be willing to eat.

After the palace servants went out, Liang Feng said: "Are you also here to persuade me not to kill the Yanmen prefect? ​​This is not just a case of concealing the disaster, but also charges of deficiencies in the treasury, misappropriation of military funds and other crimes. Sentenced for several crimes, sentenced to beheaded." It's not too much to make a decision!"

The emperor's tone was still not kind, but Yiyan shook his head: "I am a military commander, so I don't care about political affairs. My lord might as well have a meal first and rest for a while."

Liang Feng was taken aback by what he said, and the evil fire disappeared a bit.The palace servants took the opportunity to serve dinner, Liang Feng got up, cleaned his hands, and sat down with Yiyan.

The emperor's meals are not extravagant, with only six dishes per meal.Even if they eat with the crown prince or Yiyan, it's just adding some portion, and the dishes remain the same.

Holding up the ivory chopsticks and holding two chopsticks, Liang Feng suddenly said: "I know that there is a saying that you can't punish a doctor, and corruption will not be banned. However, at the beginning of the dynasty, the rules must not be broken first. How much is that? Hundreds of lives, if you say no, it will be gone! If you don’t kill him, how can you govern the country? What’s more, Yanmen is a border area. If such waste is placed at the border, I don’t know how many soldiers will die. I don’t peel and plant grass. ..."

He didn't want to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang.No matter how strict the standard of corruption is set, and how perverted the standard of punishment is, isn’t it still unstoppable for the word “greedy”?Killing tens of thousands of hungry silverfish and feeding more hungry ones is something only fools can do.He can admire, and can turn a blind eye to those gray areas.But no matter how much money you make, you can't miss the state affairs!

It is precisely because that person was selected by the system department that he must be severely punished!

However, full of anger, Yiyan didn't retort.He just picked up the golden spoon, scooped up a bowl of soup for Liang Feng, and passed it over: "My lord wants to kill, so I can kill myself. Why bother to get angry because of this. This soup is good, drink some to warm your stomach first."

This sycophant's attitude left Liang Feng speechless.Taking the bowl, he took a sip.The soup was warm and refreshing, and it calmed down the anger in his chest in a short while.

After being disturbed, Liang Feng stopped talking and began to eat quietly.When he put down his chopsticks again, he let out a long sigh: "Boyuan, have I changed?"

Just a few days ago, the prince and all the officials asked to play, and wanted to change his birthday to "Qianqiu Festival".The birthday of the king of a country should be celebrated by the whole world.The prince was full of filial piety, Liang Feng naturally agreed.Since the Son of Heaven is a country, no amount of celebration can be overstated.

Everyone around is slowly changing.Even the crown prince Liang Rong had to think carefully when speaking without losing the dignity of a monarch and minister.The more stable the country is, and the more the territory expands, the stronger his power will be, and he will follow his words.

No one dared to look him in the eyes, not to mention the loud reprimands and disobedience.In this lonely and closed environment, did he change his appearance?Become no longer like the original him, but like a complete emperor?

As if he was just angry, he couldn't even restrain his killing intent.I just want to get rid of those who don't respect the king's order quickly.

"My lord hasn't changed. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have killed a prefect of a county in anger for the sake of some people in Qianshou."

The voice that answered him was flat.Liang Feng raised his eyes and looked over.The man opposite was staring at him, with no fear or flattery on his face, only deep concern.This is the only person who dares to call him "Lord" instead of "Your Majesty" in private.

Liang Feng stretched out his hand and held the opponent's hand.Those are not a pair of soft catkins, with well-defined muscles and bones, wide and powerful.Even if the horse is galloping, it can be grabbed by one hand.

"Zhang Bin is right. Even I can't kill a prefect of a county without authorization." Liang Feng said slowly, "There is also the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple. What kind of crime must be punished. Kill It's just going to scare people."

The world is uncertain, he can't act hastily.Can be punished, demoted, or even exiled.As long as it is not heinous, officials cannot kill without permission.You can't punish a doctor, and you can't be polite to a common man.This is the rule since the ages.The stability of the political situation is far more important than concealment and corruption.

This is more in line with the "emperor" idea.

Yiyan didn't answer, but just shook his hand back and wrapped it around his palm.

From the palm, came the familiar temperature.It allows him to find his direction and anchor himself.

Liang Feng gently closed his eyes, and leaned against the pile of brocades behind him: "Maybe I should go out for a walk. Being bored in the palace every day, sooner or later something will happen. I want to see it with my own eyes and bring this country under control."

"The north is stable, so my lord can take a boat tour. Or go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen." Yiyan's voice rose a little. Rather than being bored in the palace, he certainly hopes that the lord can walk around, or enshrine Zen like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. sky!

"Seal Mount Tai?" Liang Feng smiled and opened his eyes, "Do you know how much it costs to go to Mount Tai? Forget it, anyway, Jiangdong hasn't been captured yet, so it won't be a waste of money."

This is also what makes Yiyan feel distressed the most.His lord is rich all over the world, but rarely spends on himself.The palaces all use the gardens of the previous dynasty, and the palace has not been expanded.On the contrary, the Lifang and river canals in Luoyang City were rebuilt, the streets were leveled, the sewage was discharged smoothly, and the people lived more comfortably.

What's the point of just sealing Mount Tai?The master's Wenzhi and martial arts are no less than Hanwu and Guangwu.

"Then wait until the Southern Lands are leveled before going to Mount Tai!" Yi Yan said firmly.

"Hahaha." Liang Feng couldn't help laughing, "Forget about Mount Tai, I want to go to the seaside to see. The two seaports of Haixing and Yantai were built by me. I should go and see them. You can see the sights of several states."

Go east along the Yellow River all the way, and go back along the canal, passing through Yecheng.This trip, he will definitely see countless things he wants to see.With this person next to you.

"I will definitely stay by my lord's side and never leave." Yiyan replied as if he understood his inner voice.

"Aren't you afraid of seasickness?" Liang Feng raised his eyebrows.

"Tianzi Dragon Boat, I'm afraid I can race horses, so how could I get seasick?" Yi Yan said seriously.

Thinking of the past when they were swimming and boating in the Ganoderma lucidum pool, both of them laughed.

Slowly getting up from the couch, Liang Feng pretended to straighten his clothes: "Aiqing has made meritorious service in admonishing, do you want to ask for a reward?"

"Your Majesty, can you reward your ministers with good fortune?" Yi Yan asked, raising his head without moving.There was a smile in the gray-blue eyes.

"That's it!"

He kept guarding outside the hall all the time, and saw that the emperor left the Chuigong hall and went to the sleeping hall.Guo Nvshi breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the palace man beside her, "The sage is served by General Yi himself, so he doesn't need to be on duty tonight."

After only one meal, the emperor's anger was completely eliminated.Sure enough, only General Yi won the Sacred Heart the most.I just hope that tomorrow morning will be smoother.

After arranging all the matters, Guo Nvshi took another look at the sleeping hall where the lights were gradually extinguished, and retreated quietly.
