Flower Fairy Reincarnation Assist Guide

Chapter 27

Outside Poppy's study is a garden, which is full of slim poppies, which are extraordinarily enchanting in the early autumn sunshine.

Du Zhijuan looked at the sunspots on the chessboard, studied for a long time, and finally found a place where he could break through.

"My lord, you said that we managed to suppress General You, one of their Guangling sect, but after this disaster relief, they actually rose again, and even gained part of the military power. How can this be good?"

Su Ying took a sip of tea and said, "Even if Bai Zhu belongs to the Guangling sect, isn't he a member of my military department and is not under my jurisdiction? Even if it is Duanmu Yao who wants to use this opportunity to help him get promoted, but In the end, the credit still has to go to the Ministry of War.”

"But... he is still a member of the Guangling faction. If he is allowed to grow up in the future, then..."

"Do you know why the dan roles in that play always make people feel pitiful when they cry? Because when they cry, they always pay back three times at one step, with twists and turns. Let's not worry, the good show is still to come, after all, my stage It's not for nothing."

Poppy dropped a sunspot, and said again: "What happened to the matter that I told you to inform the Ministry of Industry before? Don't lose the chain this time."

"Go back to your lord, everything is ready on their side, and they will wait for half a month. This time there must be no problem."

"Ah That's good."

As he said that, he dropped another sunspot, and pressed Du Zhijuan's white stone back.

"Hey, my lord, why did you trick me again..."

"Hahaha, routines are not new, as long as they are useful, do you still blame me for not having a long memory?"

"Yes, yes, I must remember the teachings of adults..."

***

In September, the Ministry of Industry finally completed the repair project of the river in the Jiangnan disaster area, and Yushitai also started this year's autumn tour.

Because of the order from above, the Yushi patrol focused on checking the disaster relief funds in the Jiangnan disaster area.

"Who is the manager of the Ministry of Industry's disaster relief warehouse?"

"It's down."

Yu Shi Xun looked through the ledger, looked around the warehouse, and asked him, "Are all the ledgers and relief supplies here?"

The other party bent down and replied respectfully: "Master Hui Xunban, they are all here."

"All the same?"

"There is nothing missing, please rest assured, my lord."

He looked at the simple and honest smile of the small official in the palm, thinking that he was probably just a person who could do whatever he was asked to do by his superiors. He sighed and shook his head. After collecting the account book, he went back to write a letter and sent it to the capital.

Li Luosu saw the Jiangnan inspection report submitted by the Yushi supervisor at the court meeting, and was furious on the spot.

"Yan Shangshu! I trust you so much, is this how your Ministry of Industry handles things? Is it fun to slap me in the face in public!"

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was so frightened that he immediately came out and knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down! I don't know why the Ministry of Industry provoked His Majesty to be furious..."

"See for yourself what you have done!"

Zhezi flew down from the royal platform and just hit Yan Shangshu. He opened it tremblingly, glanced at it, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty! The Minister and the Ministry of Industry are wronged! This time, the disaster relief materials and funds in the south of the Yangtze River are personally supervised and strictly controlled by the minister. , don’t dare to lose anything!”

"If you haven't lost anything, then the report of Yushitai was fabricated out of thin air!"

"This... Although I don't know how Yushitai verified it, I really didn't instruct the Ministry of Industry to use the opportunity of disaster relief to enrich my own pockets! Besides, this kind of thing is not foolproof. If I really did it, I would be found out and dismissed. Why would I do such a thankless thing even if I lost my life? This is not beneficial to the minister, the Ministry of Industry, His Majesty, or even the people in the disaster area! Please be aware of it, Your Majesty!"

There was a lot of discussion in the court for a while, but Li Luosu calmed down now.

Corruption has happened in all dynasties, and the Ministry of Industry has always been the key monitoring target. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to do it knowing that it cannot be done. They are old people who have been in the officialdom for many years, and they will not be stupid enough to make such mistakes. The gap in the accounts in that report... is too obvious.

It's almost like it was on purpose.

"Then Yan Shangshu means that Yushitai is slandering your Ministry of Industry?"

Before Li Luosu could speak, Duanmuyao spoke first.

"I don't mean that. Yushitai has always been a supervisor. It is understandable to report any problems found, but Yushitai is not a god, so it will not make mistakes. The Yushitai is set up to monitor the affairs of the officials to protect the Qing Dynasty. It is the wisdom of the ancestors, and it will benefit the court if it is used well, but if it is not used well, will Yushitai become a tool for fighting among the officials and factions of the court?"

"Yan Shangshu, you..."

"Prime Minister You! I am asking about this matter."

Looking at Li Luosu's serious gaze, Duanmuyao recalled the black figure walking away from him in front of the palace gate that morning, and was momentarily speechless.

"Since Yan Shangshu thinks that the inspection report of Yushitai is wrong, I will send a special person to Jiangnan to investigate the matter. As for who slandered and who was wronged, we will discuss it after the results come out and withdraw from the court."

***

The admonishment doctor under the door took on a hard job.

Sitting on the boat going to the disaster-stricken areas of the two rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, he always sighed.The matter of supervision and inspection was originally under the control of Yushitai, but it turned out that something like the Ministry of Industry happened, but he was asked to investigate by a subordinate provincial official. His Majesty is really whimsical. Get involved in this kind of thing?I just hope that the results of the investigation should be the same as those of Yushitai, otherwise the matter may become a big mess.

Even though it has been many days in autumn, Jiangnan is still different from the dry capital in the north, the air is full of moist water vapor.

"Open the warehouse door."

The soldiers guarding the gate tore off the seal of Yushitai on the door and opened the gate of the warehouse of the Ministry of Industry.

A mild musty damp smell rushed towards the face, Doctor Admonishment covered his nose with his sleeves, and walked in frowning.

Although the warehouse was not full, there was still a large space to spare. He took out a copy of the ledger and began to check the remaining materials in the warehouse one by one.

"...Your warehouse, hasn't it been opened since Yushitai's autumn tour?"

"Of course not, my lord, didn't you see the seal on the door clearly just now?"

The simple and honest Zhang Gu smiled at him.

The advising doctor walked back to the door and looked at the seal that had fallen on the ground. It was indeed the seal on the Yushitai that was correct.

"No, why is it so different from Yushitai's report..."

He called the little officials who accompanied him to check the accounts together, one person read the accounts and the other counted them, and went back and forth three times in this way, but each time the accounts and the physical quantity were consistent.

He looked at the little official beside him, and at the door number of the warehouse, his heart sank.

It seems that the DPRK and China are going to have some twists and turns.

***

After the investigation, the doctor advised the doctor to return to Beijing quickly, wrote a note and reported it to the imperial study.

At the court meeting on the second day, Li Luosu threw the investigation report under the hall.

"Tao Youran, the doctor of the censor, comes out, tell me what is going on with your censor platform this time!"

Tao Youran picked up the notebook and read the report, and said, "Your Majesty, since the investigation of the admonishing doctor under the sect proved the innocence of the Ministry of Industry, it must be that the inspection of Yushitai made a mistake, which caused a misunderstanding with the Ministry of Industry. , because I misunderstood that the minister must strictly control his subordinates after returning to avoid further mistakes."

Seeing that he finished speaking indifferently, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but come out and said: "Doctor Tao, what you did at Yushitai, is such a wrong statement just trying to turn the page and ignore it? Back then, the obvious accounting problem was ignored. What is the intention of reporting to His Majesty?"

"What does Yan Shangshu mean? Are you still questioning me, Yushitai, for slandering your Ministry of Industry?"

"It's not slander, why submit a false report?"

"Since you say slander, does Yan Shangshu have evidence?"

Tao Youran had been in power for ten years and rarely quarreled with others in the hall. Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Mei Shiliang who was standing next to the throne was trying to smooth things over, but Li Luosu spoke first.

"Enough! What's the use of the two of you confronting each other in court? Are you doing it for the interests of your own department? Are you slandering your colleagues? Look at what the inspectors said at the time. Supervisor Sun came out and told me about your censor. How did Taiwan discuss and report this matter in the first place? Tell the truth, or I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"

After the censor inspector surnamed Sun came out, he stood in the hall and hesitated for a while, but suddenly knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! This report of corruption to the Ministry of Industry was... all done by Dr. Tao's private order to suppress the Ministry of Industry!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, Mei Shiliang wanted to speak but was restrained by Duanmu Yao's signal, Qu Changlan stood in the hall and frowned and looked at Tao Youran.

"Supervisor Sun, I have no grievances with the Ministry of Industry, why should I suppress them? And I don't remember ever instructing you to do something in private. Yushitai is a place to monitor all officials, not a place to spread rumors and pour dirty water on others. Please be careful what you say."

"Is Doctor Tao threatening his subordinates?"

"How did Yan Shangshu see that I was threatening others?"

Li Luosu suddenly had a headache. He remembered the murder case in the capital that involved him half a year ago. At that time, in the imperial study, the Ministry of War and Dali Temple were entangled with each other in the same way, which annoyed his father.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a chill down his back.If he can't control his subjects, the emperor will be pulled down from the throne and never stand up again.

Li Luosu took a deep breath and said, "Shut up! Inspector Sun, do you have any real evidence that Dr. Tao framed the Ministry of Industry for corruption?"

"I... I don't have any."

"Then why do you say this? Are you not afraid that others will say that you are false?"

"I don't dare, I don't have evidence because... Doctor Tao hasn't fulfilled his promise. Doctor Tao said that if I submit a report to the Ministry of Labor this time, then this year's internal assessment in winter will allow me to be promoted to imperial rank." Consul Shi, Chen applied for promotion but was rejected all the time..."

"Doctor Tao, have you ever rejected Supervisor Sun's application before?"

"The minister refused, but that was because..."

Li Luosu clapped the table and said, "I never thought you would do such a thing. It's a waste of my trust in you! In this case, Tao Youran, the censor doctor, will be suspended from today's post and cannot be lifted without an edict!"

"Your Majesty, Supervisor Sun's statement is not credible without substantial evidence. There must be something hidden about this matter, so don't jump to conclusions!"

Duanmuyao finally spoke out. He looked at Li Luosu with eager eyes, and the bulging veins were faintly visible on his snow-white neck.

"My people have already checked, is Prime Minister You suspecting that I am partial to one side?"

"I don't think so, it's just..."

"Well, since Prime Minister You is afraid that there is still something hidden about this matter, then I will send Qu Changlan, the servant of the household department, to temporarily take the post of Doctor Yushi to go to the south of the Yangtze River for a second tour. I wonder if there are any objections?"

Sitting on the throne, Li Luosu stared down at him. For the first time, there was some indifference, forbearance and subtle disgust in his amber eyes, which reminded Duanmuyao once again of what he had said that morning in front of the palace gate. .

"...Sir, I have no objection."

"Then retreat."
