Chapter 19: Joint Investigation by the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War
The air suddenly became stagnant.
Wang Shiqian did not reveal anything on his face. Wasn't it he, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was solely responsible for these matters?
Why did you suddenly say you wanted to check something?
However, Wang Shiqian had also assigned someone else to handle the military supply matter. He had no idea how well it would be done. Just as he was about to hesitate, he saw His Majesty's slightly frowning expression. He thought something was wrong and quickly agreed:
"I will take your majesty there now!"
Only then did Emperor Yuan look a little better.
Even with Qin Agang's help, Yun Zhuan was still a little nervous, and his palms were sweaty.
She must, must make the person behind this pay the price!
The fourth prince Yuan Zhi saw Yun Fu'an's expression and thought she was still frightened by yesterday's dream, so he gently hooked Yuan Fu'an's little finger to comfort her.
Yun Zhuan only then realized that he had been stunned, and quickly smiled at Yuan Zhibao.
Yuan Zhi's face was still expressionless, but the tips of his ears were slightly red, which Yun Ju'an didn't notice.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
Why should I worry?
Wang Shiqian led the Yuan Emperor and his entourage to the warehouse. Along the way, he was still struggling: "Your Majesty, it's too chaotic inside. I'm afraid it will tarnish Your Majesty!"
Emperor Yuan said nothing. He was feeling very nervous. Wang Shiqian's behavior seemed a little suspicious to him.
There can't really be any cat poop, right?
Emperor Yuan took a deep breath.
In the end, Wang Shiqian brought Emperor Yuan to the warehouse.
The dust and smell of the chaff caught everyone off guard.
Yun Zhuan smelled something moldy in it, and his mind moved. He pursed his lips and followed Emperor Yuan.
The door suddenly opened.
Everyone held their breath.
When the dust settled, Yun Ju'an breathed a sigh of relief at the scene before him.
There were several piles of grain in the huge warehouse.
There was a damp, fermented smell to the rice, and some of the rice even had rice bugs infesting it, crawling around in the rice pile. When Emperor Yuan saw this, he felt disgusted.
The whole granary was filled with a mixture of unpleasant smells.
This is military rations!
This is what the frontline troops need to eat!
What on earth are these officials doing?!
"Wang Shiqian, look at what you have done!" Emperor Yuan kicked Wang Shiqian, who immediately knelt on the ground when he saw the situation was getting bad, and said angrily, "You want my soldiers to eat this garbage?"
"You want my soldiers to eat these things to defend the territory of my Yuan Kingdom and you, a bunch of waste?!"
Emperor Yuan was furious and almost shouted these words.
Yun Ju'an's eyes were red and she was holding back tears. Although she already knew the result, she had never seen it before.
Now it’s really uncomfortable.
Even livestock won’t eat this rice!
This shouldn't happen!
It shouldn't be like this!
What on earth did Aung and the others go through in their previous life?
The sufferings of war and the difficulties caused by those with ulterior motives.
Her grandfather was protecting the people who had been harming and framing the Wu'an Marquis Mansion!
Repay evil with good, repay evil with good, who can repay Wu'an Marquis Mansion with good? ?
Yun Ju'an knelt down instantly, and the collision of her knees with the ground made her feel painful!
"His Majesty!"
Yun Zhuan's call brought Emperor Yuan's angry thoughts back to reality.
He breathed a sigh of relief. The most urgent task now was not how to deal with the people in front of him.
But how to solve the urgent needs of the army with tens of thousands of troops!
"Good boy, get up quickly." Emperor Yuan was now filled with guilt towards Yun Zhuan.
Yun Zhuan knew what Emperor Yuan meant, and did not argue at this time. He just stared with a pair of bright eyes, and said with sadness and countless grievances:
"I believe that Your Majesty will show great justice and give justice to the army and the Marquis of Wu'an!"
This was a very righteous statement, and it actually put the blame on Emperor Yuan for being righteous.
Yun Zhuan's heart was calm, even his resentment was suppressed deep in his heart.
She finally did it!
After Emperor Yuan helped Yun Zhuan up, he said directly to Shang Fangde:
"Let the Ministry of Justice investigate this matter immediately! Go to the Ministry of War now!"
Yun Zhuan heard the Emperor Yuan's thoughts clearly, and he just began to look forward to the good show that was to come.
If it weren't for Yun Zhuan's dreamland as an introduction, Emperor Yuan really wouldn't believe that his soldiers actually ate those things to fight for the Yuan Kingdom!
The Ministry of War moved even faster and started packing up everything. After all, these were all supplies to be sent to the front lines, and they had to ensure that every general had spare parts for their weapons!
The weapons were wrapped tightly and no one could tell there was anything wrong with them at first glance.
Liu Shuocui from the Ministry of War saw Emperor Yuan coming and also bowed. However, Emperor Yuan was too lazy to say a word and walked straight towards the weapons that were about to be shipped away.
Liu Shuocui didn't know what it meant, so he just watched Emperor Yuan lift the oil paper.
After a while, Emperor Yuan spoke coldly:
"Liu Shuocui, I think I have treated you well. Is this why you are so hardworking for me?"
Liu Shuocui was a little puzzled. He looked up and saw that the batches of weapons he was staring at were all unsharpened!
What is going on?
Sending unsharpened weapons to the battlefield means the soldiers will just stand there and wait to die, right?
Liu Shuocui looked hopeless: "Your Majesty, I know nothing about this!"
Emperor Yuan also wanted to believe in his trusted ministers, but with this matter right in front of him, there was no way he could forgive it.
"Shang Defang!" Emperor Yuan said calmly, "Throw him into the imperial prison, investigate thoroughly, and monitor his family to prevent them from doing anything wrong."
Awe-inspiring without being angry.
Shang Defang wanted to say something, but seeing the look on Emperor Yuan's face, he could only respond: "I will go and announce the decree now!"
His Majesty was already very angry just thinking about the food problem, and now you even dare to tamper with the lives of the soldiers!
Isn't this hitting the muzzle of the gun?
"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry to you and to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion." Emperor Yuan looked at Yun Zhuan with an unknown look in his eyes.
It's like I aged ten years in an instant.
Yun Zhuan did not press the matter any further, as this would only backfire. She stayed there quietly and obediently: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I believe you will not let down the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and the soldiers of the Great Yuan Kingdom! You will not tell this matter to the outside world and disturb the people."
I won't tell anyone about this.
But please also take the initiative to punish these people.
Yun Zhuan's words were gentle, but Emperor Yuan could already sense that she might be on the verge of collapse.
Food and weapons still need to be collected or processed.
These delays all mean time, and every second on the battlefield can determine life or death.
Emperor Yuan immediately issued an order:
"Now, immediately have the ironworks sharpen all the weapons in batches, and also have people go down to collect surplus food and grass from the people in the surrounding areas of Shangjing to supply the army!"
Yun Yu'an bowed deeply to Emperor Yuan:
"On behalf of the Wu'an Marquisate and the Northwest Army, I, your humble servant, would like to thank the Emperor for His Grace!"
During the epidemic, sticking is prohibited. No kissing scenes are allowed at the moment. I will write again after the epidemic is over.
Okay, I won't bother you anymore, just keep watching.
If you don't look at me, I'll give you two punches.
