The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 362

(Everyone, ask for some monthly tickets!)

After the maid Xiaoqi left, only Zhao Yanxun and Lin Jingyu were left in the room.

The scene was quiet, Zhao Yanxun was thinking about something, Lin Jingyu was also silent.

After a few breaths, it was still Lin Jingyu who broke the silence and said: "My lord, you have seen it all, and your light questioning scared Xiaoqi out of his wits, and he was trembling!"

"Xiaoqi is like this, and so are the common people, how dare they sue the officials!"

Zhao Yanxun's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "My concubine, today this king's shame is so painful to be whipped by you!"

"The people below embezzle the official food, and there is also the fault of not being strict with the subordinates!"'
Zhao Yanxun said so, but Lin Jingyu didn't know how to respond.

"People can not escape from doing wrong……"

After saying this, Lin Jingyu realized that she had made a mistake.

Zhao Yanxun is a person favored by heaven, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a sage, how can she deny this.

Seeing that her husband was not angry, Lin Jingyu felt relieved. She also knew what to say and what to say.

Picking up the teacup in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "This matter will be investigated strictly, and justice will be given to the common people!"

Lin Jingyu smiled: "The concubine naturally believes in the prince!"

…………

Walking out of Feiyuxuan with a gloomy face, Zhao Yanxun said to the accompanying eunuch: "Go and find Lin Quan!"

Lin Quan is mainly responsible for intelligence collection and monitoring many officials, similar to Zhao Yanxun's role in the East Factory in his previous life.

And in this world, the Jin court also has a supervisor, which is the emperor's private intelligence agency.

Because of his errands, Lin Quan was not in the palace most of the time, so he had to send someone to look for him.

"Yes!"

Soon, Zhao Yanxun returned to Jinshen Hall.

After taking a seat in the west side hall, Zhao Yanxun let himself calm down for a while, and then told Huo An: "Go and call the two elders!"

The two chief historians work in the palace, and it is easy to find them.

After sitting in the hall for less than 10 minutes, the two long officials appeared together outside the side hall.

"Minister Zhou Chengping (Cheng Wenguang), greet Your Highness!"

Zhao Yanxun immediately raised his head, and asked: "You two lovers, please stand up!"

Zhou Cheng and the two stood up slowly, seeing Zhao Yanxun's gloomy face, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

But Zhou Chengping asked, "Your Highness summoned me, what instructions do you have?"

"Now the affairs of the palace are all managed by the two love ministers, so that the king can rest. You two are the pillars of the palace!"

The situation was not good, but they were praised, which made Zhou Chengping even more confused.

"To share the worries of the king, this minister and others dare to be praised by His Highness!" Cheng Wenguang replied with a bow.

Zhao Yanxun squeezed out a smile: "From this point of view, Cheng Qing is a cautious person!"

These words sounded more and more strange. Thinking of this, Cheng Wenguang warned himself to speak less.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanxun changed the subject and said: "The so-called wise man is sure to make a mistake, no matter how cautious a person is, he will sometimes be negligent!"

The two ministers didn't know why, Cheng Wenguang didn't dare to answer the words at this time, but Zhou Chengping was not afraid of anything.

"Please enlighten me, Your Highness!"

Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Today I heard that the people farming outside the city have done hard work but they can't even eat enough!"

"The food in the Wangfu is distributed in full. Why did such a thing happen?"

After saying this, Zhao Yanxun glanced at Cheng Wenguang.

The book office is responsible for material management, and the warehouse management office is responsible for storage. Both of these official offices are in charge of the right chief Shi Chengwenguang.

Apart from the problem of not being able to eat enough food nowadays, it is natural to ask Cheng Wenguang for an explanation.

The cauldron that fell from the sky caught Cheng Wenguang a little off guard.

Now that the spring plowing is over halfway, he hasn't heard anything about it.

At this time, Cheng Wenguang was already cursing in his heart, and he didn't know that it was the bastard down there who wanted to die.

Do you dare to swallow the food of the royal family, so you can eat all you want?It's fine if you hurt yourself, but he, the Shangguan, will also be implicated.

"Chengqing, do you have something to say?"

Being pointed out by Zhao Yanxun, Cheng Wenguang couldn't continue to pretend to be dumb.

I saw him take a step forward, knelt down and replied: "I have never heard of this matter. If there are really traitors down there who dare to do something to the grain, I will be guilty of negligence!"

This sentence Cheng Wenguang has two meanings, one is to show that he is ignorant, so naturally he has nothing to do with this matter, and the other is to directly convict himself of negligence, so as to avoid implicating himself too much in the matter.

"Crime of negligence, do you know that this sentence of negligence almost killed hundreds of people?"

When he said this, Zhao Yanxun's tone was sullen.

Trembling, Cheng Wenguang kowtowed to the ground and said, "I am incompetent, please punish me severely, Your Highness!"

With a sneer, Zhao Yanxun looked to the other side, and then said, "Zhou Qing, do you have anything to say?"

"The minister is also guilty!"

"What are you guilty of?"

With a serious expression, Zhou Chengping replied, "I'm guilty of lax supervision!"

"Okay... okay, you two confessed quickly, but no one thought about it, why did this happen?"

"Where is the problem? Why do these officials have greed? Do you do your best in performing your duties?"

"Should you confess these sins?"

All problems, in the final analysis, are institutional problems.

There are two types of system problems, one is problems with the system itself, and the other is problems with the people who implement the system.

For Zhao Yanxun, although the people's food was embezzled, it was bigger than the loopholes in the system.

Solving institutional problems is the key to eliminating such problems.

Hearing Zhao Yanxun's increasingly cold tone, both Zhou Cheng kowtowed to the ground, not daring to look directly at Zhao Yanxun.

"Today, I called you here not to convict you!"

"Whether you go back and check it yourself, or ask the officials below to question you directly, you must find out the truth for me!"

"If you take the initiative to confess your guilt, you can be dealt with leniently, and if you don't report it, you will be punished severely!"

Looking at the two kneeling in front of each other, Zhao Yanxun said in a stern tone: "Do you understand?"

"I understand!"

In front of the angry monarch, the two high-ranking elders are no different from slaves.

"Go back!"

"Yes!"

After saying that, Zhou Cheng got up slowly, and then carefully exited the side hall.

Walking in the corridor, Cheng Wenguang couldn't help wiping the sweat from his brow, he was really scared just now.

The words "Banjun is like accompanying a tiger" resurfaced in Cheng Wenguang's mind.

After walking out of the main hall, Cheng Wenguang breathed a sigh of relief, and a glimmer of light appeared in his dark clouded heart.

Walking down the steps, Cheng Wenguang couldn't help cursing: "These bastards below are really emboldened, they should be killed...should be killed!"

At this time, Zhou Chengping, who was traveling with him, said: "Master Cheng, I will let the trial office be stationed in the library management office later!"

"It depends on whether you ask it first, or I find it out first!"

Hearing this, Cheng Wenguang was even more upset, and he threw up his sleeves and left.

Seeing the back of Cheng Wenguang leaving, Zhou Chengping also let out a long sigh of relief, and then quickly left Jinshen Hall.
