Chapter 120 The Secret in the Granary (2)
The granary is about 100 feet high. In order to facilitate everyone to see that the structure inside is not actually completely closed, but about five or six wooden boards are exposed on the side for easy demonstration.
At this time, the eunuch had already entered the hall with a small load from outside the palace gate, carefully placed it next to the granary and waited for Zhang Yi's instructions.
"Your Majesty, I just told you that this is a good thing. I guess many seniors would not believe it. Next, I will make a trick at the moment of yours and use this mere chariot to fill the granary!" As he said that, Zhang Yi signaled several other eunuchs to use the remaining wooden boards to close the side of the granary.
Not to mention, after being closed, this granary is like an ordinary granary.
"Please help me pour the lily from the load into the warehouse above!" Zhang Yi bowed to the eunuch who brought lily in, and then stood beside him and waited.
The eunuch was not vague. He probably didn't have a high status in the palace and often did some rough things. When he heard Zhang Yi ask for help, he immediately put on his long sleeves on his arm, took up the load and stepped on the wooden ladder next to him and went to the warehouse.
I saw him carrying a shoulder pole on his shoulder, but with both hands, he steadily protected the baskets on both sides, and tilted slightly towards the opening of the top of the warehouse, and the chestnuts in the basket were rustling like flowing water. Because there was a partition in the middle, there was actually only a shallow layer on it. As the chestnuts were poured into the warehouse, everyone could clearly see that the granary was gradually level with the sight with the naked eye, and it was constantly piled upwards into a pointed shape.
Sweat in cold sweat!
It's really cold sweat!
Which person standing in the court is a fool?
There is no doubt that if you are really stupid, you can't stand here anymore!
Facing the scene in front of you, everyone couldn't help but feel cold from the bottom of their hearts!
"Do you guys think this granary is a good thing?" Zhang Yi turned sideways to avoid blocking everyone's sight, and said with a smile: "Younger can fill the granary with just a can of yi chunks of rice, which is actually not technical. It is said that the warehouse management technology of Changping warehouse can achieve such an effect. It's really shameful!"
He said he was ashamed, but he didn't see Zhang Yi showing any shame. Seeing that everyone had almost digested it, he pulled Cheng Chumo and said to Li Er: "My minister Zhang Yi, Cheng Chumo, please punish your majesty!"
Li Er slowly stared at the expressions of everyone below, some were angry and some were shocked...
"My memory, Zhou Xu'an, is unknown... Please ask Your Majesty... Let me retire..." Zhou Xu'an's face was pale, and he seemed to have lost all his strength. The spirit of the striker bowed to Li Er.
"My minister Wei Zheng is not strict in his rule. Please give up the crime!" Wei Zheng also took the initiative to apologize.
......
Suddenly, four or five people stood up from the court and apologized!
In fact, Wei Zheng was fine. After all, he didn't know about this matter. The reason why he apologized was just because of poor supervision. After all, as the Shangguan of the Censor, he had the responsibility of supervision. His subordinates were guilty of him, as a Shangguan, should naturally be responsible for allegations.
The other officials who were obviously involved in the double warehouse incident were all sweating profusely, lowering their heads and carefully staring at Li Er's expression with the light of their eyes.
Li Er did not speak immediately, but saw that his face was constantly spasming, his expression was as unpredictable as the clouds in the sky, and before he could hear the voice of his feet, he had already started to walk towards the granary.
The granary was very high, and Li Er stood by only about two-thirds of the height of the granary. He took a deep breath, looked at the courtiers again, suddenly laughed, and said, "What a double-layer warehouse, what a curfew, how a night I went into other people's houses to bully the people and humiliate merchants!" Every time he said something, Li Er's voice became a little taller, and until the end he said it, he seemed to have a sense of incomparable anger, and his right foot was suddenly towards the granary...
"Boom! Rush rust..."
Suddenly, the entire granary was immediately kicked down by his feet, and the chestnut rice on it was rustling like a pearl and kept jumping on the ground...
"Please calm down your anger..."
"Please calm down your anger..."
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Qin Qiong, Li Jing... all the ministers bowed down one after another...
"Zhang Yi, Cheng Chumo, you can get up to me! If you are guilty, they should be punished and died!" Li Er walked to Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo, slowly helped them up, and said to Zhou Xu'an and others: "At the third update last night, the Hundred Cavalry brought me a sentence. Do you want to hear it?"
"The criminals dare not!" Zhou Xu'an and others immediately leaned over, saying that they didn't dare.
Li Er sneered, suppressed the anger in his stomach, and said, "I dare not? What are you afraid of? I think you are so brave! You colluded with merchants to deceive superiors and subordinates, low in and high in, and blamed others for the crime... You actually dared to use this double-layer warehouse to empty almost half of the long-term warehouse! The warehouse is filled with rats and birds, and it is so happy! Do you know how sad I am when the Baiqisi brought back this sentence?
Before my granary has reached the level of fullness, you dare to emptiate my granary half. What else do you dare not?" As he spoke, Li Er shouted to the side: "Where is Du Ruhui?"
"I am here!" Du Ruhui immediately left the squad and bowed.
"In your opinion, what should Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo be punished? What should Zhou Xu'an, Changping Cangkang Office, Sinong Temple and other relevant officials?"
"Go back to Your Majesty!" Du Ruhui bowed and said, "Ze Chong, the Left Wu Guard, Cheng Chumo, and Zhang Yi, the son of Jingyang County, although these two people did not observe the curfew, there was a reason for the matter. They also made great contributions to the double-layer warehouse. According to the old minister, the merits are greater than their faults, so they should be rewarded!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhou Xu'an and several other officials involved in the case who had already been scared and looked like earth, and said: "The Censor Zhou Xu'an, the Sinong Temple, the Changping Warehouse Office and other officials involved in the case colluded with merchants to raise the price of grain first. In order to protect themselves and impeach us, the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, as officials of the court, were even more corrupt... The old minister suggested that all officials involved in the case, merchants and others would be handed over to Dali Temple for trial, and it would not be too late to be convicted after the trial was clear!"
.........
Li Er was very satisfied with Du Ruhui's suggestion, but he seemed to have forgotten Zhang Yi and Cheng Chumo who were waiting for his reward. After retreating from the court, he left the Tai Chi Hall.
However, with Li Er leaving, the whole court was still dull, and many people were thinking about something. Since there was a problem with Changquan's position closing, what about Taicang and other state prefectures?...
ps: The second update is here! This chapter is so hard to write. I was not satisfied with it after several revisions. But I finally finished it before twelve o'clock, so it was not enough to keep my word. Please give me a few recommendation tickets!
Chapter completed!
