Chapter 15 It's All Damn
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Zhou Chen put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.
Ever since Empress Wu Ying's right to visit the court of the Second Saint was abolished, the right to criticize has all returned to the emperor Zhou Chen.
Looking at the pile of memorials in front of him that was higher than the top of his head, Zhou Chen was a little tired.
It is said that it is good to be an emperor, but it is only after sitting in this position that I realize the difficulty of this position.
Taking the memorials in front of them as an example, the emperor Zhou Chen had to complete them in a very short period of time.
This is not an easy task.
And there can be no mistakes.
otherwise.
A mistake made by the emperor may result in the death of millions of people.
Of course, except for the faint.
This is just a small part of it.
"It seems that we will have to find a way in the future to set up an agency dedicated to handling government affairs." Zhou Chen thought to himself.
He didn't want to be suppressed by so many memorials every day, and he couldn't do anything.
However, the issue of candidate selection has to be signed in by the system.
Among those people in the court, Zhou Chen couldn't trust anyone except Taishi Wen Zhong.
"Emperor, Eunuch Zhao wants to see the emperor."
At this moment, the eunuch who served in the house came in and bowed to report.
Zhao Gao?
Zhou Chen's eyes flashed.
"Let him in."
Three days have passed, but he wanted to see if Zhao Gao found out what the results were?
"The old slave has seen the emperor." After Zhao Gao walked in, he immediately knelt down and bowed.
Zhou Chen waved his hand: "Get up!"
"Zhao Gao, I gave you three days, and now three days have passed, what is the result I want?" Zhou Chen asked directly.
"Go back to the emperor, this is the result of the old slave's three days to find out, please take a look at the emperor."
Zhao Gao took out a small book and handed it over.
Zhou Chen took the small book handed over by Zhao Gao, and saw dozens of messages written on it.
Zhou Chen glanced at it. .
"300 million disaster relief silver, out of the treasury of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the remaining 280 million."
"After approval by various yamen, there are more than 250 million taels out of Luoyang."
"The relief money from the four prefectures in Northwest China was 100 million taels on the surface, but the actual amount was 50 taels in the local area."
……
Zhou Chen looked at the information on the small book, and his face was ugly.
OK!
Of the 300 million disaster relief money, 20 taels were lost just after leaving the house.
Immediately after leaving the hospital, 50 taels were lost.
Where did the money go?
Are they all lost in the process of transportation on the road?
Zhou Chen's anger filled his forehead.
Especially in the four prefectures in the northwest, the imperial court originally allocated 100 million disaster relief funds, but only 50 taels were left when they arrived.
50 taels seems like a lot, but how much can each prefecture distribute to the four prefectures for disaster relief?
Zhou Chen now knows why the situation in the four northwestern provinces is so rotten.
however.
When Zhou Chen saw the remaining messages, he was even more angry and directly slapped Xiao Zhezi on the imperial table.
"The imperial courts of the four prefectures in the Northwest allocated 100 million taels for disaster relief, but the actual silver was 50 taels at the local level, and less than 10 taels were used for real disaster relief and relief for the victims."
"The government office only opens a porridge shed in front of the door for two hours a day. Those who arrive first can receive half a bowl of clear water porridge, and those who arrive later do not."
"The victims gathered at the gate of the government office, praying for their lives. The government office forcibly drove them out and suppressed them, causing civil unrest."
……
Less than 10 taels?
In the land of the four prefectures, the actual silver taels used for disaster relief are less than 10 taels?
In other words, each prefecture could not even get [-] yuan for disaster relief.
What a terrible thing this is.
Zhou Chen was furious.
You must know that the four northwestern prefectures are the hardest hit areas, and there are many counties under each prefecture.
A mere 10 taels of disaster relief money is probably not enough for one prefecture, so how can it provide disaster relief for the entire four prefectures in the northwest?
and also.
The government office only opens porridge for two hours a day, and you can get half a bowl of clear water porridge when you arrive here, but there are none after that.
What kind of disaster relief is this kind of disaster relief?
If it was him Zhou Chen, he would have to kill these dog officials for rebelling.
"Damn."
"Everything should be damned."
Zhou Chen stood up and angrily threw Xiao Zhezi on the dragon's case.
The 100 million disaster relief silver, in the end, only less than [-] yuan was used for disaster relief.
Where did the rest of the relief money go?
Zhou Chen didn't even have to think about it.
Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and the dynasties and dynasties have never lacked such corrupt officials.
There is no shortage of Da Zhou.
Although Zhou Chen had expected it long ago, what he never expected was that these people's appetites were so great that they were not afraid of dying.
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."
All the maids and servants in the hall fell to their knees in fright.
Even Zhao Gao is no exception.
When he handed over this little book, Zhao Gao had already expected that the emperor would be furious.
But I just don't know if the emperor will be furious, at this time, he will raise the butcher's knife and go all out to investigate this matter thoroughly.
"Zhao Gao, I ask you, is this true?"
"Has it been found out who has been greedy for this batch of disaster relief silver?"
Zhou Chen looked directly at Zhao Gao, anger in his eyes.
When Zhao Gao heard the words, he immediately said: "Back to the emperor, it's all true, and who is it, the old slave has not found out."
Didn't find out?
Zhou Chen's eyes became sharp, staring at Zhao Gao's heart for a while.
It wasn't until Zhao Gaokuai couldn't bear it anymore that Zhou Chen withdrew his gaze and sat back on the throne of the dragon chair.
It doesn't matter whether Zhao Gao really didn't find out, or he didn't find out if he was fake.
Zhou Chen knew that it didn't matter.
Importantly, now is not the time to deal with this.
Corruption has been a major event in all dynasties since ancient times. Once it is investigated, it will definitely pull out the radish and bring out the mud, which will involve a large number of people.
It is not a good time at this critical juncture for the relief of the victims.
If it is not done well, it will cause internal and external turmoil.
Therefore, we can only wait for the disaster relief to be completed, and after the civil unrest in the four northwestern provinces has been quelled, it will not be too late to settle accounts in the autumn.
After figuring this out, Zhou Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Gao and asked again, "How is the investigation of Zhang De's matter? Are there any results?"
In Zhao Gao's briefcase, Zhou Chen didn't see any news about Zhang De.
I can't help but wonder if Zhao Gao really doesn't understand his thoughts, or if Zhao Gao has other thoughts.
"Back to the emperor, Zhang De's matter was found on the body of an imperial doctor in the imperial hospital."
"However, the imperial doctor committed suicide, and the clues are broken."
Zhao Gao said bravely.
Suicide?
Zhou Chen narrowed his eyes when he heard Zhao Gao's words.
Zhao Gao has never been able to find any clues behind Zhang De, and now he has found an imperial physician, who is missing.
Is this accidental or man-made?
Zhou Chen thought for a moment, then looked at Zhao Gao and said, "Take the token that I gave you with me!"
When Zhao Gao heard the words, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and nodded; "Back to the emperor, the old slave always carries it with him."
Zhao Gao had some doubts in his heart, didn't he ask Zhang De about it?Why did you ask about that token all of a sudden?
"Now, you take that token and go to Qingfeng Palace to pass the order. The queen is suspicious of Zhang De, so she bans her from Qingfeng Palace. If there is no order, you must not step out of Qingfeng Palace." Zhou Chen didn't give Zhao Gao time to think about it. , said directly.
