In desperation, Ren Zhen had no choice but to come out again.After all, this matter is also related to the accusation that the Ye family offered bribes, and when the time comes, Xiahou Chun needs to stand up and report, and he has to come forward to support the latter.The minister believes that the rules of the ancestors are important, but it is not advisable to blindly stick to them and not know how to be flexible.Since the current situation is grim and the matter of grain and grass is of great importance, it is indeed a better choice for General Xiahou to supervise and handle it, which is conducive to cooperating with the army. ”After saying this, he turned sideways slightly, glanced at Liu Chengyan, and replied to the other party's provocation just now.The empress didn't answer, just smiled, knowing that the Xiling Party was unwilling to be defeated again, and would definitely fight back against Ren Zhen and continue to watch from the sidelines.Sure enough, Liu Chengyan's face was gloomy, and he sneered: "To put it lightly, supervising the military rations involves the finances of the imperial court, and it is necessary to coordinate the grain depots in various places, and the procedures are extremely complicated.Hou Ye really thinks that he is a sage, knows everything, and wants to point fingers at everything" The implication is that you are a layman, you don't know anything about the finance and economics of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and you are not qualified to point fingers in front of the old man.Ren Zhen was not annoyed, and said gently: "What Lord Liu said is extremely true, I am indeed not as knowledgeable as you.However, I do understand that since ancient times, officials have been greedy for ink, which has corrupted the foundation of the imperial court, and the household department is in charge of finance, which is closest to money, and is often the first to bear the brunt. ”When Liu Chengyan heard this, his expression froze suddenly, obviously understanding Ren Zhen's intentions, and was about to reprimand him angrily, but Ren Zhen ignored him and continued to talk to himself."
Of course, I have no evidence to accuse my colleagues of corruption and misdeeds.Similarly, it is not known whether you veterans who know how to do it again when procuring military rations this time, stealing official rations or demanding kickbacks. ”He looked at Liu Chengyan, who was trembling with anger, and said with a smile: "Why should Lord Liu be angry, I didn't say that you are suspected of corruption, I just want to explain one point, the more knowledgeable people are, the easier it is to play tricks and cheat for personal gain."
The current food shortage is serious, and there is no need for the imperial court to rely too much on the household department and gamble on your conduct. ”After saying this, not only Liu Chengyan, but Cao Yin also understood, and finally saw the true intentions of the empress.It turned out that the imperial court could no longer afford to be hurt, and did not dare to let them continue to toss.The empress watched from the wall, looking at Ren Zhen's radiant spirit in the field, fighting the Xiling Party, and sighing in her heart, Mr.
Xiao appeared at the right time.He not only let her jump out of the shackles of party feuds, but also have new options, and can become a puppet on the bright side, helping her say things that are inconvenient to say and do things that are inconvenient, and she will not have so many scruples.The court and the court scolded each other, which was something that neither the military advisor Yuan Benxi nor the bodyguard Xiao Tieyu could do.Liu Chengyan was not to be outdone, and began to launch a counterattack, "Above the court, you don't want to spew blood and suspect that the household department is a traitor, Cai Jiushi, you have successively protected Xiahou Chun and gained great power for him, everyone can see it, I have reason to suspect that you are favoritism and cheating, and you are in cahoots with Xiahou Chun" At the beginning of the early dynasty, Ren Zhen strongly supported Xiahou Chun, recommended him as the commander of Pingnan, and continued to help him fight for the right to supervise grain, which seems to be very suspicious.The Xiling henchmen had already thought of this, but they didn't dare to say it, and at this moment Liu Chengyan made it clear that it was a good time for the group to attack it, how could they miss it, and they came out one after another to point out the responsibility and spit around.The empress saw it in her eyes, the more interested she became, and she began to wonder if Ren Zhen really colluded with Xiahou Chun, and how to deal with the group attack of the Xiling Party.I saw Ren Zhen smile coldly, glanced at the ministers in front of him, and said: "Even if you want to frame me for favoritism, I will trouble you to figure it out, I am not related to Xiahou Chun, and I have not met so far, so why do you have a private relationship" Liu Chengyan said coldly: "The secret passage is unknown." ”Ren Zhen thought thoughtfully, "Speaking of favoritism, I suddenly remembered that I was also born in Xiling Academy, and I am the same brother as you, so this can be regarded as a private relationship."
If I want to show favoritism, I should find my senior brothers to join the same stream, and I am embarrassed to be a traitor" The Xiling ministers were speechless when they heard this, like eating fly.Why do you only remember it now, everyone is your own person, what did you do earlier, you have something to say, why bother your own people to fight Liu Chengyan snorted coldly and said: "We don't dare to admit a junior brother like you."
Don't think that if you get close to it now, you can cover up your suspicions.You support Xiahou Chun's supervision of military rations, you don't want to use your power with him for personal gain, and fill your pocket" This was originally what he wanted to do, but at this time, it was buckled on Ren Zhen's head.When Ren Zhen heard this, he smiled dumbly and confirmed: "Lord Liu, you really doubt me so much" Liu Chengyan was indifferent.Ren Zhen restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "Liu Chengyan, I see that you are Li Lingzhi is dizzy, and you suspect that I am filling my own pockets, so do you know that the money I bought this time is a joke donated by me alone, if I am worried about this money, I will use it to ask for trouble" Liu Chengyan was like being struck by lightning, his face was pale, and he froze there.Only then did he react, he was eager to attack Ren Zhen, and he was so angry that he ignored the most critical point, after the auction, Ren Zhen had donated a huge amount of money to the imperial court, and the purpose was to buy grain, if Ren Zhen was greedy for money, wouldn't it be a big move to take off his pants and fart.The ministers, who were still impassioned just now, fell into a dead silence in an instant, and everyone looked at each other.Liu Chengyan's backbite was simply a stupid trick, stealing chickens and rice, not only failed to defeat Ren Zhen, but took the initiative to raise his selfless image to the highest point Seeing the dumb fire of the Xiling Party, the Donglin Party, including Cao Yin, gloated, and said in his heart, fortunately, he did not take the initiative to provoke the Blowing Water Marquis, and watched the fire from the other side, otherwise they would be the ones who ate fly feces.Seeing this, Ren Zhen knew that now was a good opportunity to launch the last attack, and said in a loud voice: "Since you have reached this point, you might as well make it clear."
I donated the money, and it is supposed to be my designator to buy the food.And what I don't trust the most is these people in your household department" When he said this, he thought in his heart, when he rectified the rule of officials in the future, he must first take the household department and get rid of the Liu family.Xiahou Chun finally reacted, as a party concerned, he had been hiding in the court, not daring to argue with Confucianism, just watching Ren Zhen fight against the crowd, it was really unusual.Ren Zhen said that he did not trust Tobu, and this was the time for him to stand up and show his loyalty and make a final decision.He hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, bowed and saluted, and said excitedly: "The ministers must live up to their mission, raise all the grain and grass as quickly as possible, and never dare to be greedy and cheat, so that every penny can be exchanged for food" Seeing this, the ministers in the palace knew that the overall situation had been decided, and no one could shake Ren Zhen's proposition.This argument, he won again.The empress nodded with satisfaction and smiled faintly, "Zhongqing has no objections, so let's do it" This morning, she was impressed by Ren Zhen.She really didn't expect that when Ren Zhen's edge was revealed, he would be so strong, like a murderous sword, which made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military speechless and defeated one after another."
