Chapter 295 Skynet Recovery ([-])

After Zhusang received the order, the first thing he did was to enter the palace.

"My minister came here today for disaster relief funds."

"The disaster relief funds will be allocated from the household department when you leave."

"I don't want to urge you, I think His Majesty knows it in his heart. The disaster relief funds have been exploited by local officials layer by layer, and finally reach the people. It is pitifully small, so I implore Your Majesty to issue an imperial decree. If the officials at the next level report If a higher-level official has evidence of embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and a lower-level official has no corruption, then the whistleblower will take the place of the reported official. At the same time, the court will also provide rewards. Only those who can resist the drive of profit Big benefit.”

"It's a smart idea, but you have to know that it's not that simple to change officials. Uncoordinated morals will only make the people dissatisfied."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I have already thought about this point. After investigation, the disaster relief funds were first passed by the Minister of the Household Department, the second by the Minister of the Household Department, and then Liucheng Liu of Mo County. The county magistrate, Liucheng, is too upright to flatter, so he has been an official for more than ten years and is still a small county magistrate. "

"Zhu Sang, Zhu Sang, you are so courageous. The servant of the household department is a second-rank official, and you, a fourth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing, let me dismiss him?"

"The Minister of Household Affairs has been in a high position for many years, and he has embezzled countless amounts of money during this period. The minister is just using this disaster relief thing to let him get the punishment he deserves."

"...Then how did you get that Liucheng to report the Minister of the Household Department? According to what you said, Jingzhou suffers from floods almost every year, and he didn't do anything before."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. As long as your majesty is willing to make an order, I will have my own way. There are so many things in the world. If you let your majesty do it yourself and work hard, what do you want us ministers to do?"

The words sound good, the emperor laughed, "Okay, then I will listen to you this time, and you go back, I will draw up an order immediately."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

On the same day, Liu Cheng received a letter, which detailed what he needed to do, and even guessed that he might refuse, and told the pros and cons. Liu Cheng didn't know who sent the letter. He didn't think about it. It might be a trap, but when I thought about it, he was a small county magistrate who had worked hard for many years. Who would spend the effort to frame him?

It wasn't until the imperial edict came down that he completely dispelled his doubts, so on the day he received the relief money, he went to the inn where the imperial envoy stayed, intending to explain the matter.

When seeing the imperial envoy himself, Liu Cheng was stunned for a while, and only after seeing the badge on his waist was he sure that he had not found the wrong person.

"Why, I'm surprised, is it because I'm from the Western Regions or do you think I'm too young?"

"This... the lower official is rude."

Zhusang smiled, and stepped forward to help him up, "I know what you are here for today, I wrote you the letter before, and I have written it very clearly in the letter, soon your appointment The book will be delivered."

"The lower officials are not for these."

"I know that you are a good official who sincerely serves the people, but not everyone is as indifferent to fame and fortune as you are. For those villains, they can only be driven by profit. If you refuse to accept it, other people will feel that if If I accept it, it seems like I'm trying to gain fame, so I don't accept it, and if there is no benefit, who would do such a thankless thing?"

"The officer understands."

"You just understand."

Because Liucheng reported the servant of the household department to be corrupt, the news that he was promoted to the servant of the household department was spread quickly under Zhusang's deliberate operation. For a while, all the officials were in danger, and the situation of embezzling disaster relief funds became much better. Zhusang I didn't make any further stops, after all, the common people in Jingzhou were still waiting for help.

Jingzhou is located in the main stream of the Yangtze River, and there are "nine bends in the ileum", so floods occur frequently, and the people suffer unspeakably.

When the bamboo mulberry arrived, the flood had receded, but the problems that followed after large-scale natural disasters were often more serious, and the more common one was plague.

Therefore, preventive work should be done.

When he came to Jingzhou, the county magistrate went to rescue people with the people, so when he was not there, Zhu Sang simply set up a porridge shed first, and then added special medicine to the porridge given to the victims so that they would not get sick .

This time, Zhusang only brought three right-hand men, Jiang Yu, Zhao Qian, and Song Qi.

"My lord, Master Zhang is here."

Mr. Zhang that Song Qi spoke of was Zhang Yuan, magistrate of Jingzhou County. He was a rare good official who could stay in this troubled place for ten years without complaining.

"Come in quickly."

"Yes."

Zhang Yuan is over forty years old, and his temples are already graying. This is the result of years of hard work. His eye sockets are sunken and his cheeks are sunken, and he feels like a gust of wind can blow him down.

"The imperial envoy came here, but the subordinate officials failed to greet you in time, please forgive me."

Zhu Sang hurriedly helped him up, "Master Zhang, what are you talking about? You are a common people, what's your crime? It's just that I came a little early." As he spoke, he helped him sit down beside him.

"This time, with His Majesty's imperial decree, and the contribution of the Minister of the Household Department for killing chickens and monkeys, the disaster relief funds here are 300 taels of gold. This time, we will definitely do our best to rescue the disaster."

Zhang Yuan burst into tears with excitement, "Your Majesty is holy... Your Majesty is holy..."

"Don't run around tomorrow, find more people to set up porridge sheds to serve porridge. I will have some medical skills to treat the wounded."

"Thank you sir..."

"Where is the responsibility, where can we talk about thank you."

In less than two months, the situation in Jingzhou had almost recovered. Zhusang had to go back to report to the emperor. When he was leaving, the people of Jingzhou sent them off spontaneously. Zhusang felt that he could remember that scene for a long time.

After returning to Chang'an, he handed over the booklet, and the emperor read it carefully, "This time things are done well, do you have any rewards you want?"

Zhu Sang thought for a while, "In the final analysis, fame and wealth are things outside the body, and I only hope to ask His Majesty for a favor."

"Oh? Tell me, what grace do you want?"

"I want to ask His Majesty for the right to kill first and play later."

The smile on the emperor's face disappeared instantly, "Cut first and play later?"

"When I handle a case, I either don't investigate it, and if I want to investigate it, I have to investigate clearly. If some relatives of the emperor are finally found, it will be difficult for the emperor to make a decision. Therefore, I have the courage to ask His Majesty for this grace. In the future, I will When investigating the case, if someone wants to engage in malpractice for personal gain, the humble minister will be killed first, and the emperor does not have to make things difficult, he only agrees to kill the humble minister first and then play, and when the time comes, let them take revenge on the humble minister if they have the ability."

"Heh... Li Que is right. You are really smart. I agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This is relying on the fact that the emperor is a wise monarch, otherwise Zhu Sang would not have spoken.
