The important town of Two Lakes, Xiangzhou.
If in the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" series, Xiangzhou is the place where Guo Daxia and Qiao Huangrong died for their country, and it is also the place where they fended off the Mongolian cavalry for more than ten years.
Thanks to them, the Southern Song Dynasty continued its national destiny for more than ten years.
In history, Xiangzhou is really that important.
Relying on the two major barriers of Xianshan and Han River, it has become the central city in the Han River Basin and has been an important town on the two lakes since ancient times.
The prince led his subordinates in the East Palace, and the first stop of their trip to supervise disaster relief was Xiangyang.
The prince has always been known for his simplicity and humility. Although his abilities are not necessarily outstanding, these two advantages are highly valued by all the ministers in the court.
Even though he came outside the Gyeonggi region, and it was the first time he went out of Beijing as the prince to supervise disaster relief, the prince did not stay in the mansion of a wealthy businessman prepared for him by the Xiangyang prefecture, but settled in a small inn outside the city.
Of course, the accompanying 5,000 Knight Cavalry Sergeants and 2,000 Feather Forest Guards are also stationed nearby.
The Cavalry General Zhang Tie has always been known for being as stable as Mount Tai. Before the five thousand soldiers set up camp, they had already begun the first step of defensive measures such as digging trenches. By the time they were completely settled, the area around the post station had basically become a heavily guarded military camp.
After the last painful lesson, General Cheng Jiashan of the Yulin Guards asked the two thousand Yulin Guards to leave only one thousand people to protect the prince in the center of the station. The remaining one thousand people were all divided into groups of ten, densely dispersed to twenty Inside and out, if there is any accident, they will send a signal as soon as possible.
Such caution made Zhang Tie couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
With so many sergeants accompanying them, the disaster relief food transport convoy can reduce most of the guards and save resources as much as possible.
It has been three days since the prince arrived in Xiangyang with the convoy of disaster relief grain trucks.
During these three days, the prince rushed to the government offices, disaster relief offices and the homes of the victims every day, almost from morning to night.
Although there are many guards around him, this cannot stop the prince from contacting the people on the front line, comforting them, and delivering them some daily necessities.
??Except for making porridge for the people in the disaster relief porridge shed, all the daily necessities distributed by the prince were purchased in the Gyeonggi area with the donggong's own money before he came.
The cloth bag usually contains a five-pound bag of rice or flour, a small bag of salt, one hundred copper coins and a pair of cloth shoes.
In the past three days, he has distributed at least more than 3,000 condolences to the poorest and most difficult families.
The prince's health is not bad, but he is so tired that he almost collapses after working hard every day.
Not only do my feet get blisters every day, but I don¡¯t even want to eat.
It was the same today. When he was sitting in the room soaking his feet, he almost fell asleep. However, the pain from the maid picking up the water made him wake up.
He suddenly convulsed, and the maid was so frightened that she quickly bent over and knelt down: "Your Highness, did I hurt you?"
"Oh, no, it's not." The prince rubbed his head and smiled, "I have to thank you for waking me up, otherwise it would have delayed things Just go on, don't worry!"
As he spoke, he called out: "Who is outside?"
"Your Highness, I'm here." Prince Shen Mingqin's voice came over.
"Ah, Yunzhi, you are back, come in!" the prince said happily.
The door opened, and Shen Mingqin, who was in his forties and had an unremarkable appearance, walked in.
"Yunzhi, what kind of information have you uncovered in the past two days?" the prince asked smoothly.
"Actually, there is a very important matter that needs to be reported to you" Shen Mingqin hesitated to speak.
The prince smiled slightly and said to the maid who was squatting and soaking his feet: "You go out first and come in later."
"yes!"
The maid understood that they were going to talk about something, so she packed up her things, put a towel on the prince's feet, and then closed the door and went out.
As soon as she went out, Shen Mingqin's face turned gloomy: "Your Highness, we have discovered a huge fact of corruption and cheating!"
"Huh?" The prince was suddenly startled, "What's wrong?"
¡°So far, there are more than 200 porridge-giving places inside and outside Xiangyang City, and basically all of them are mixed with a large amount of bran and given to the people as pure rice porridge!¡±
"Bran? What is it?"
"Bran is wheat bran and rice bran, that is?? "
Zhu Kuanjie took a breath.
He stared at the prince dumbfounded, and then subconsciously glanced at Ge Chi, who was still staring at death, and his mouth felt a little dry.
"Say it, you should say it!" The prince thought he was guilty.
Hearing this, Zhu Kuanjie seemed to smile but not laugh, and seemed to cry but not cry. He lowered his voice a little: "Your Highness, let's take a step to speak."
"Say it here! In front of all the guards of the East Palace and the soldiers of the Forbidden Army!" The prince pointed to the surroundings, "I have nothing to be ashamed of, and I hope you are too!"
"But¡¡"
"Prefect Zhu, I have given you a chance. If you continue to be stubborn, do you really think that my sword can only kill one person?" The prince roared: "Hurry up and explain!"
Zhu Kuanjie was so frightened that he almost jumped up, but the prince reminded him that if he didn't tell the truth, he might end up like Ge Chi.
He quickly raised his voice: "My Royal Highness, you are mistaken! The first batch of four million shi of grain shipped by the imperial court from Beijing to the Lianghu area was originally 3 million shi of bran and 1 million shi of grain. Rice, and then we mix it with rice at a ratio of three to one to make porridge for the people to eat!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The prince was so angry that he wanted to pull out the guard's sword again.
These people really deserve to die!
We have arrived at this time, and yet we are still obsessed with telling lies!
"Xiaguan is not talking nonsense. I have in my hand a document written by Wang Shangshu himself, and it is also stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Household Affairs!" Zhu Kuanjie said loudly, "It's in Xiaguan's government office! Not only is it the five hundred thousand shi from Xiangyang Mansion, The proportion of grain is like this, even in the entire two lakes area!"
The prince was stunned, and the angry expression on his face instantly dissipated: "Wang Feiteng?"
"yes!"
Zhu Kuanjie finally figured out the reason at this time, and said with a wry smile: "Before the food came, Wang Feiteng and Wang Shangshu sent an official document from the Ministry of Household Affairs to our officials in the two lakes, explaining it specifically, saying that this time the locust plague was serious, the court In order to avoid insufficient food, we use this method to provide disaster relief first."
"Impossible! Impossible!"
The prince's eyes widened, "Father, why didn't father tell me? You lied!"
"At this time, I still dare to lie. Isn't it too long to live?" Zhu Kuanjie said: "Your Highness, this matter has been discussed by several prime ministers and six ministers, and it must not be false You If you don¡¯t believe in humble positions, you can go to a few nearby prefectures and have a look. If their granaries are all filled with rice, you can just come back and cut off the official¡¯s head!¡±
The prince was stunned.
His mind went blank.
Reason told him that what Zhu Kuanjie said was not false, and even what Ge Chi said just now was not false either.
Such a big lie can be exposed easily and it is impossible to conceal it.
They are even less likely to destroy evidence and kill their own group - with the Yulin Guards and Xiaoqi Guards here, how can the Xiangyang Prefecture's garrison defeat them?
There is only one reason why Zhu Kuanjie dares to say that now.
Ge Chi, the junior official in charge of the warehouse, told the truth from the beginning. Most of the food shipped by the imperial court was wheat bran! !
"Why? Why? How can wheat bran be eaten by others?" the prince murmured to himself.
"Your Highness, I feel that everyone in the imperial court has made the right considerations." Zhu Kuanjie bowed and said: "What if the warehouse inventory is exhausted from the beginning and this wave of disaster lasts for a long time? Only We need to save a little first to ensure that the people don't have enough food. Wheat bran porridge is much better than bark and grass roots. Isn't being able to survive more important than anything else?"
"Alas! II amso ashamed!!"
The prince now finally believed Zhu Kuanjie¡¯s words.
Looking at Ge Chi¡¯s corpse with his eyes open on the ground, he felt ashamed, angry and annoyed, and finally he felt dizzy and fell directly to the side.
¡¡
Note: In the autumn of the 30th year of Jinghe, the prince led a group of people to inspect the relief work after the locust plague in the two lakes area. In Xiangyang, Ge Chi, the director of the grain storage field department, was killed by mistake. Afterwards, the prince confessed his sins and hid in the post station to wait for his fate.
The emperor said: "Prince Mingyu was impatient in his work. He failed to conduct a comprehensive investigation in advance and call witnesses to listen to testimonies. He then got angry and privately killed the court officials. This was a great crime. It is a pity that Gechi was loyal to his duties and conscientious, and suffered such a misfortune. It is really the fault of the crown prince alone. He has been removed from his post as "ambassador for supervising the locust relief in the two lakes" and fined him one year's salary. However, the disaster in the two lakes is still not over, and we still need the supervision of capable ministers and generals. Let the crown prince Mingyu perform meritorious service and continue to strictly supervise lawlessness. , Correct mistakes.
