C912

When she mentioned it, Yu Huai remembered it, patted her forehead and said, "look at my memory. I always remember things wrong."

"Second brother, are you too tired these days? I think you always remember wrong things. Why don't you rest for a few days?" Although Qingxin always quarrels with Yuhuai on weekdays, in fact, she cares more about this second brother than anyone else.

Yu Huai said with a smile, "I'm ok, but sometimes I can't remember things." Then he said to Yu Heng, "there's something wrong today. Tomorrow I'll meet my elder brother in the mansion. He must come."

Yu Heng joked: "Your Highness, please, how dare I not come."

As soon as I listened, I was interested. I blinked a pair of big black and white eyes and said, "second brother, can I come too?"

Yu Huai frowned and said, "I'll take care of my elder brother. What are you going to do? Stay in the palace and learn needlework. But mammy said that you've always refused to use your heart to learn. Even the simplest mandarin duck is embroidered with mistakes."

"Mean." She pursed her little mouth and rubbed her head. "Don't be unhappy. Today is the 15th day. Brother will take you to the market. You can choose what you eat and play, OK?"

"Yes, yes!" He clapped his hands happily and turned his eyes into two little crescent moons with a smile. "The elder brother loves me the most, not like the second brother, stingy!"

Yu Huai couldn't laugh or cry, and was about to speak. An attendant rushed to Yu Huai's ear and whispered a few words. The latter's face changed slightly. "What's the matter?"

The attendant nodded and said, "well, Jiang Shangshu has entered the palace now."

"I see." After his entourage left, Yu Huai said, "brother, I still have some things to deal with. Let's go first and have a good chat tomorrow."

"What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. It's just that there's something wrong with a batch of relief food and grass that was set aside for the disaster in the north a while ago." Although Yu Huai said it lightly, Yu Heng clearly caught a trace of deep worry in his eyes, and he didn't point it out. After Yu Huai rode away, he turned his head and asked the one side, "do you know about disaster relief?"

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I heard that Jinan and ningzhou were hit by floods years ago, and the people were homeless. My father asked my second brother to be responsible for the disaster relief and food allocation, and Jiang Shangshu helped him. At that time, my second brother was so busy that he fell ill. My mother was afraid that he would not take the medicine on time, so she always asked someone to cook the medicine and send it to my second brother and stare at him. ”

Yu hengsi ropeway: "years ago In this way, the relief food and grass should have been transported to the affected state capitals. "

"It should be. I don't know. I heard it when my mother and second brother talked about it." Heart patience to answer a few words, urged to accompany her to hang fair.

Two days later, Yu Heng finally found out what was wrong with the grain for disaster relief. Originally, he should have allocated 10000 stone grains and 120000 silver Liang, but in fact, only one tenth or two of them went to the victims, and the rest disappeared.

According to the grain and money allocated by the imperial court, the disaster relief is almost enough, but now it has dropped by nine tenths of a sudden. Those victims can't get enough to eat. What they get is bowls of porridge, or "porridge water", which is more appropriate.

The local officials in ningzhou are honest and upright. Seeing that the victims are not well fed and clothed, they immediately play up. Yu Huai is responsible for the disaster relief, and he has become the first person to be held accountable. The second one is Jiang Yue, the Minister of the Ministry of accounts.

Dongfang Su was so angry that he ordered them to find the missing grain, grass and silver as soon as possible. The official in charge of the escort was the most direct contact in the whole matter, but they didn't know about it. They could only arrest them and interrogate them one by one.

As time went on, there were more and more rumors inside and outside the court. Although there were different opinions, the meaning was mostly the same. They all said that Yu Huai and Jiang Yue colluded to enrich their own pockets.

If it's just gossip, it's all right. But what happened next shocked everyone and became a big case in Jinling.

All the 15 officers committed suicide in prison, but none survived. On the day before they committed suicide, a gaoler confirmed that Yu Huai had gone to prison to ask them.

Yuhuai had been criticized for the short supply of grain and silver. This matter was undoubtedly worse than before. Although the imperial court made severe comments, it still spread. Some people said that Yuhuai forced them to commit suicide in order to conceal it.

In recent years, the opposition to Yu Huai's becoming the crown prince has been much lower, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's just that it's temporarily hidden. Now when you see Yu Huai's accident, those voices immediately rise up again, accusing Yu Huai of guarding himself and stealing himself. Regardless of the people's life or death, they ask Dongfang Su to depose Yu Huai and severely punish the officials involved.

At the same time, news came from ningzhou, Jinan and other places that the victims, because they could not fill their stomachs, rushed into the government and large families, forcibly snatched food and were in chaos.

All these have become the reasons for the opposition to demand that Yu Huai be deposed more and more, and that the Ministry of punishment be ordered to find out the truth within 10 days. As for Yu Huai, he was temporarily forbidden to visit the eastern palace until he found out everything.

On the second day of this decree, Yu Heng came to Chengde hall, which was filled with bitter medicine. His first words after he came in were to ask for participation in the investigation of the case of Yu Huai."Cough!" Dongfang Suo coughed a few times, and his pale cheek flushed a little. He looked at Yu Heng standing beside the red copper candlestick and said, "why?"

"My son wants to clear the crown prince." Light and shadow fall on Yuheng's face, warm and transparent.

Dongfang Su stared at him for a while, and then turned his eyes to the half of the file again. "It's enough for the Ministry of punishment, Dali temple, duchayuan and Shenji camp to investigate this matter. Go back."

Yu Heng stood still in the original place, "they are in the light, children minister is in the dark."

"What do you mean?" he said

"It's obvious that someone is targeting the prince. As for what to target, the father and the emperor have a clear idea, and the children's ministers also have a clear idea. The children's ministers are confident to catch them."

Dongfang Suo's eyelids moved slightly, kept silent for a moment, and nodded: "since you insist, go. Time is running out."

To Heng spirit, solemnly way: "son minister will live up to his father's hope."

After Yu Heng left, Zhang Jin took the medicine that had just been fried and handed it to Dongfang su. He said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you really want the hall to go down to check?"

"How come you don't agree?" he said in a cool voice

Zhang Jin quickly said with a smile, "Your Majesty is joking. How dare I? I'm afraid your highness is in danger. After all, we don't know the identity and purpose of the other party."

"I really don't know the identity, but the purpose Yu Heng has already guessed it, so he insists on going. "
