Su Wei said calmly: "First, the Ministry of Works has a direct responsibility. The Ministry of Works' lax inspection of the construction of the palace has led to a defense loophole in the palace. Ziwei Pavilion will directly remove the position of chief ward of the Ministry of Works. Li Chun, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, also bear the corresponding responsibility. Secondly, the Yulin Army and the guards also made mistakes in patrol deployment. Wei Xiaoze, the general of the Huben Lang of the Yulin Army, and Zhao Huan, the commander of the guards, should bear the responsibility. We will recommend that the Qi Palace remove the two of them from the positions."

The jurisdiction of the imperial palace does not belong to the court, but to the Qi Palace. The court cannot interfere in military affairs, especially the appointment and removal of generals. That is the authority of the Qi Palace, so Ziwei Pavilion can only make suggestions.

However, there were loopholes in the construction design of the palace, allowing the assassin to bypass the Yulin Army and the guards to enter the harem directly. This is the responsibility of the Ministry of Works, so Ziwei Pavilion can remove the officials in charge of the Ministry of Works. As for the punishment of the Minister of Works, it is the power of the Regent, and Ziwei Pavilion can only say that the Minister of Works is responsible.

Du Ruhui nodded, "I will also write a report to Your Highness truthfully, please continue to say it."

Su Wei said again: "The second plan is to transform the Qi Wang Mansion, merge the back house of the Qi Wang Mansion directly into the inner palace, merge the first half of the Qi Wang Mansion into the Ziwei Palace, and build the palace walls and palace gates. In this way, the Yulin Army and the palace guards will expand the defense scope and completely eliminate the hidden dangers of Biyuan."

Du Ruhui remained silent for a moment. The second plan was actually to cancel the Qi Palace and let the Regent move directly into the palace. Although Zhang Xuan did live in the palace when he came back a few months ago, it was just a temporary solution. Once the Qi Palace was abolished, he would officially move in. This is a sign of ascending the throne. Du Ruhui felt that the Ziwei Pavilion's plan actually had deeper intentions, especially Su Wei was particularly active.

Of course, Du Ruhui could understand that everyone wanted to be a founding minister, strive to achieve the merit of support, and benefit his descendants. Su Wei was old, so he naturally wanted to promote the establishment of a new dynasty before he completely retired from the officialdom.

Du Ruhui smiled and said, "The second plan is related to the private affairs of Your Highness, and you can't decide it by you and I. Let's first eliminate hidden dangers, rebuild the outer wall of the Qi Palace according to the standards of the palace, strengthen the patrol of the Qi Palace, should we merge the Qi Palace and Ziwei Palace, or should we ask the King of Qi's opinions before we talk about it, what do you think?"

Du Ruhui was hinting that Su Wei could not make decisions on some things by himself, even if he was kind, he would not do it. The seven prime ministers looked at each other, and Wei Yunqi smiled and said, "Du Zongjun is right, you can't be too anxious about this matter."

Everyone expressed their support for Du Ruhui's opinion. Su Wei saw that everyone was more cautious, so he couldn't say anything else.

At this time, Xiao Yu stood up and said to everyone: "The second major matter is that the grain price has risen too strong today. Should we consider starting a regular warehouse to calm the grain price? Let's discuss it!"

Everyone looked at Su Wei. He was the first person in the Seventh Priest, the oldest and the richest experience. Out of respect, he needed to listen to his opinions first.

Su Wei pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I think it's a bit strange that the grain prices have soared today. Although Qingzhou and Xuzhou suffered a locust plague last fall, Hebei, Central Plains and Jianghuai both received a bumper harvest of grain. Moreover, the military rations of the Turks in the Northern Yu were mobilized from the official warehouse and did not requisition civilian food. There should be no shortage of food in the market. I doubt if someone was deliberately manipulating the price of grain and taking advantage of the assassination to deliberately raise the price of grain."

Lu Chu whispered: "Maybe it was just a moment of panic."

Su Wei shook his head, "Generally speaking, only the defeat on the front line will cause panic of garrisoning grain, but there is no news from Bingzhou. Just a assassination case should not have such a great influence. Of course, I am not saying that the assassination case is not big, but the impact of this matter is only in the officialdom, the reputation of the Northern Sui Dynasty, and the impact on people's livelihood is not big. The people will only talk about such things without panic."

Jiang is worthy of being a hot-tempered person. Even Xiao Yu believes that the assassination of the prince will shake the morale of the army and cause panic among the people, but Su Wei hit the nail on the head, saying that the assassination of the palace will only make the people talk about it with relish, without panic.

At this time, Du Ruhui said slowly: "There is something I need to tell you. Just last night, I received a quick report from the Intelligence Agency that the 100,000 Turkic army had already broken through Loufan Pass and went south. If this news spread, I think it is normal for food prices to rise, but don't worry, Shanyang County is still in our hands, and the hasty Turkic army may not be a good thing."

Everyone was silent. If it was for this reason, the rise in grain prices would be understood. But they could understand that the Turkic army rushed south and was not necessarily a good thing, but can the general public understand it?

Su Wei pondered for a long time and asked, "Did the express newspaper say when did the Turkic army enter Loufan Pass?"

"Yes! Just yesterday morning, I entered Loufan Pass."

"This is a bit strange. In just one day, can the grain merchants in Zhongdu get news? All the people in Loufan County have been removed, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Taiyuan City. They will send messages to Zhongdu. But the problem is that it will take at least two days for the Turkic cavalry to kill from Loufan Pass to Taiyuan County. I'm afraid that Taiyuan City has not yet received the news of the Turkic army going south. Who will spread the news to Zhongdu?"

Everyone also felt that Su Wei’s doubts were reasonable, and Du Ruhui asked with a smile: “Does Su Xiangguo think that the rise in grain prices have nothing to do with the Turkic army?”

Su Wei nodded, "I still stick to my previous guesses, and someone is maliciously raising the price of food."

"What should the Prime Minister think?"

"First of all, to calm the price of grain. If you often close the warehouse, you must sell grain and suppress the price of grain as quickly as possible. Secondly, you must thoroughly investigate the real reason for the sharp rise in grain prices. Stability of grain prices is of great importance. The court must not be a little ambiguity on the issue of food."

Su Wei's plan was unanimously agreed by everyone, and Du Ruhui smiled and said, "If you investigate the reasons for the rise in grain prices, leave it to our Intelligence Agency!"

Everyone agreed to investigate the reasons for the rise in food prices, but at the same time, they asked for a temporary blockade of the news that the Turkic army moved south from Loufan Pass to avoid unnecessary panic.

Just half an hour after the Ziweige emergency meeting ended, the Changping Warehouse in Xishi was launched for the first time. The Ministry of Revenue transferred 100,000 stones of grain from the Sinong Temple granary at one time to supply Changping Warehouse, and the Changping Warehouse was opened to the people of Zhongdu at a price of 90 cents of rice.

The effect was almost immediate. In the afternoon of that day, the rice prices in major stores were also lowered to 90 cents of rice, and the rice buying teams that were several miles long in front of each rice shop gradually dissipated.

However, this action caused another unexpected consequence. Many people robbed rice at high prices in the morning were seriously dissatisfied, especially many small merchants paid dozens of dollars to pay rice in an instant, causing them to lose dozens of coins to hundreds of coins. Even ordinary people lost several coins, which made them unacceptable.

Another grand event soon appeared in front of each rice shop. Hundreds or even thousands of people blocked the door to make decisions in front of each rice shop. Angry people asked the rice shop for their lost money.

Before the Yanshan rice trip, the people were crowded with people asking for a refund. Hundreds of people shouted angrily. The noise and riots made the rice shop unable to operate normally. The door of the inner hall was closed, and dozens of people blocked the door and quarreled with the people outside.

The guys had a good reason, and a guy stood above the gate and shouted, "It's simply unreasonable. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Have we forced you to buy rice? You come and grab the rice yourself. If the rice price drops, you want us to refund the money. The rice price has risen. Do you want to come and pay the difference?"

The guy's shouting immediately aroused the anger of hundreds of people, and someone shouted: "Beat this profiteer!"

The crackling stones and mud balls hit the guy, smashing his head and face covered in blood. He screamed and fell from the door. The crowd was already impatient, and more and more stones were smashing towards other guys and shops. The guys had to use the table to resist, and they were in a mess.

At this time, a manager ran out in a panic and shouted: "Please calm down, calm down, my boss is settled, and I will give you an explanation soon."

The crowd gradually calmed down, and everyone urged: "If you know the truth, please pay back the money quickly, otherwise you will smash your bird shop!"

The manager repeatedly agreed, turned around and ran back.

In the inner hall, several accountants were clearing accounts. The chief manager Lu Yu was walking back and forth in dismay. He was a very smart Lu clan member. However, he had never experienced major events. This was the first time he encountered such a situation, which made him a little panicked and didn't know what to do.

At this time, the little manager came to report: "You have reported to the big manager, and the villain has calmed them down."

Lu Yu asked the young manager to appease the troublemakers just to delay the military and buy time for the arrival of the government yamen runners. How could he really lose money?

The accountant stood up and said, "Master, I have calculated it. We should use ninety cents of rice as the basis. We made an additional 2,355 jin of money."

The deputy director whispered: "Do you want to return part first?"

"shit!"

Lu Yu said angrily: "How to return it? If he said he wanted ten stakes, he would give ten stakes. If he said he wanted one hundred stakes, he would give one hundred stakes?"

"I just want to stabilize them first."

Lu Yu snorted heavily and asked the little manager again, "Is there any news from the government?"

"Not yet, I didn't see the yamen runners in other shops."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind the side door, "Don't count on the government!"

Everyone was shocked and turned around together. They saw more than a dozen big men walking out of the side door. They were all tall and tall, headed by a young and tall man with a full momentum.

"Who are you?" Lu Yu took a few steps back and asked in surprise.
