Chapter 643: Lead
The first year of Dashang Xinwu began in April.
Twenty-eight masked black fighters, more than four hundred black robes, and nearly one thousand and five white robes were silent, heading in the direction of the Central Plains. This is a group of terrifying and trembling demons, every time they come, it means that many lives will be harvested, and few people know about their existence compared to the world.
The final destination of their trip was in the capital of Dashang, the Forbidden City that stood in the world for more than 200 years.
Perhaps, they still need a little time to deter and sort out certain people in certain places. But for the Xinwu Emperor in the Forbidden City, and the sword he forged and practiced, the sword called Xuanyi was really running out.
However, the world is chaotic, and many world conditions have gathered together and exploded. And the outbreak of these things was triggered by a small lead.
At the beginning of May of the first year of Xinwu, the self-examination of the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen had ended, and the officials and nobles originally thought that the new Jingzhao Mansion Yin, known as "Hai Qingtian", was just investigating and auditing the officials in his own yamen, but what they never expected was that this Hai Qingtian would tear a huge hole in these officials.
Regarding the interior of the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, most of the officials were cut off by catching fast and catching heads, but only the positions of the chief catcher Bai Yanzi and a few old officials who were still clear were retained. As for some of the illegal things that White Swallow has done, Haizhen is already clear. But thinking that he knew that he could change his mistakes and handed over all the illegal income in recent years, Haizhen was like a net and still let him stay in the post of chief arrester.
Then Jingzhao Mansion began to recruit some scholars and talents who are usually unwilling, innocent, but have real talents and hard work, to fill the vacant positions in the yamen.
Through the relationship between Bai Yanzi, many righteous chivalrous warriors and peasant children who have practiced some superficial kung fu serve as the head catcher and expand the strength of Jingzhao Mansion.
A series of actions have made the interior of Jingzhao Mansion unprecedentedly clear, and the forces that were originally involved in Jingzhao Mansion were cut off all of a sudden. And all of this is controlled by Hai Zhenru's power, and there is no transgression. The grasp of proportion makes people unable to find the slightest problem.
As for the original masters, the old officials were imprisoned by Hai Zhenru, and after careful inquiry, they asked them about which nobles, officials, families, and gangs they were connected with. Then follow these details, follow the detailed review, and secretly visit.
With the deliberate cooperation of the Xuanyi Forbidden Army, we have verified and mastered the most authentic and effective testimonials about how many taxes those people have missed, how many acres of land they have embezzled, how much bribes they have paid, how many bribes they have accepted, and what they have done that have forced people to die and hurt nature and reason.
Things changed all of a sudden.
On the morning of the third day of the fifth lunar month, Hai Zhenru held a thick plate of copywriting and went to the Jinluan Palace.
After three prostrations, he generously made a statement, counting the crimes of 80 nobles, 14 officials in Beijing, and 40 lawless gangs.
For a while, the Jinluan Hall exclaimed, and the crowd was excited.
There is a saying that Haizhen is like a person who "wants to be straight in the name".
There is a saying that Haizhen is like a person who "sells fame and reputation".
There are also those who say that he has found out that he is not truthful, and all kinds of words are not enough.
At this time, the cabinet minister Kong Liqing came out of class and asked: "Lord Hai, as you said, there is no good person among the officials and nobles of this great business?"
Hai Zhenru said generously: "Kong Xiang's question is strange, the official is not clear, and he understands it in his heart. Whether officials are greedy or not, they know it in their hearts. How many corrupt officials and corrupt officials there are in the big merchants, and how many noble families who suck the blood of the common people, I think we should be able to calculate it more clearly compared to the goods sent by those people to the Confucian Mansion!"
This is undoubtedly the most severe accusation against Kong Liqing, and it is also the rhythm of completely tearing his face. said that what was said was untrue, and Hai Zhenru was very likely to be convicted of slandering the court officials.
There was an uproar again in the court, and even Lin Weizhong, the prime minister of the dynasty, who had been there all the time and seemed to be eyeing it with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes at this time. And the second prime minister, Sun Bolun, laughed silently.
Kong Liqing looked at him angrily, but he seemed to have lost his confidence a little: "You remember this accusation in your true sense." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly turned around, faced the Xinwu Emperor on the royal steps, bowed suddenly, and said: "The minister asks the Supreme to suspend the minister's position, and the three law divisions will work with the officials to conduct an inventory of the ministers and the minister's family to prove the innocence of the minister!"
Emperor Xinwu, who was sitting on the dragon, had a calm face and did not say a word.
"Hmph, the three law divisions, Kong Xiang's protégés are all over the government and the opposition, Yu Zhengyan, the secretary of Dali Temple, is the same year as Kong, and Chu Gesheng, the servant of the criminal department, once worshiped Kong Xiang as a teacher, and the Yushitai has been controlled by Kong Xiang over the years, Kong Xiang, a good one to prove it!"
As soon as Hai Zhenru said these words, he planned to knock over all these people with one shot, including Kong Liqing, he was equivalent to accusing four senior members of the DPRK and China at once. On the Jinluan Palace, it suddenly became audible of needle dropping.
But at this time, the imperial historian Qian Chongrong came out of the class and said: "You Haizhen Ru promises to be honest and benevolent, but this official has heard that you have often lingered in Qinglou prostitutes in Jingsui County during the emperor's great absence, but there is such a thing?
This is the rhythm of splashing dirty water, and the law of Dashang does not explicitly stipulate that all entertainment activities are prohibited during the royal funeral, but it is often an unwritten rule to show respect for the royal family.
Qian Chongrong said this, but he didn't say anything disrespectful, but he planned to morally attack Hai Zhenru first, and then use this as a breakthrough to beat him from a morally perfect person to a stinky stone in a pit little by little. Literati pay a lot of attention to face, and with such a scandal, it is a heavy blow to Hai Zhenru's morale.
Hai Zhenru held the tray and bowed down and said: "What Lord Qian said, during the first emperor's great trip, Hai went to the Qinglou, but he only went inside for a moment to say goodbye to a chivalrous warrior who assisted Hai in fighting against the Northern Yuan. Why does Mr. Qian use words like 'often' and 'Liulian'? What does Mr. Qian want to mislead?"
Qian Chongrong was stunned, he didn't expect that the trap in his language would be seen through by this guy who seemed to be unsophisticated, and then said: "Even if you go once, it will be a blasphemy against the royal family! Moreover, who knows what you did inside? Since it is a farewell for a knight who fought against the Northern Yuan, why should it be set up in the brothel of the Qinglou and not in your mansion? Lord Hai, what do you say about this?"
Hai Zhenru snorted and smiled, and said: "When the Japanese official was handling official business in Jingsui County, he didn't know that the chivalrous man was about to go away, and that chivalrous man also understood that the official was busy and didn't intend to disturb the official, so he invited three or five friends to the Qinglou as a parting. When the official learned of this, he left in a hurry, and left in a hurry after drinking a farewell drink with him, so what's wrong with it?"
"Moreover, how did Lord Qian know that the official had been to the Qinglou? Where is the person who told Lord Qian about the official now? What kind of intentions did the official have? It has only been a month since the official took over the Jingzhao Mansion, so why did Lord Qian even find out such a private matter?"
Qian Chongrong flicked his sleeves and snorted: "As a doctor of imperial history, this official has the right to make things happen. Since you are the Jingzhao Mansion, you are under the supervision of my Imperial Historical Observatory, so what's wrong with that? And who knows if what you say is true! Perhaps, you did some dirty things in that brothel at that time. ”
There is really no way to explain this kind of thing clearly, unless Hai Zhenru can find a witness to prove her innocence right now. Otherwise, he will wear a hat with a loss of personal morality. However, Jingsui County is thousands of miles away, where can you find a witness so quickly now?
Hai Zhenru was just about to start arguing, but when she saw Emperor Xinwu on the dragon chair, she coughed, and said majestically: "The matter of Haiqing, Xuanyi has already found out, and the strong man who 'does not return at night' should have gone deep into the territory of the Northern Yuan Dynasty at this moment." I don't want to explain this matter, just wait for it to be understood. Zhang Banban, don't let Haiqing be tired, bring the plate. ”
Zhang Bao answered the promise, stepped down the steps, and took the plate of paperwork from Hai Zhenru's hand. Then go up the royal steps and put it in front of the dragon book case.
When Emperor Xinwu said these words, the other courtiers who wanted to leave the class to spill dirt also stopped at this time. A strong man, deep into the Northern Yuan. Although I don't know what it is for going deep into the realm of the Northern Yuan, I can vaguely guess a few points. The matter involves the secrets of the country and the DPRK, and no one dares to dwell on this topic at this time. And all of them were safe.
"Regarding whether Kong Qing is innocent or not, and whether the three law divisions have formed a party and committed fraud, I can only understand after reading Haiqing's recital. As he spoke, Emperor Xinwu turned over the heavy document page by page, and every time he looked at it, his face became ugly.
It wasn't until he finished reading it all, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh of relief and asked, "Haiqing, is what you said true?"
Hai Zhenru said: "Every sentence is true!"
Xinwu asked with a pale face, "Why is there a Jing'an Hou on this?"
"Jing'an waits for Li Zhi'an, but he has never run rampant in the countryside and bullied the market. Hai Zhenru said solemnly: "It's just that the industry in Qiumingshan on the outskirts of Beijing has made a lot of profits in recent years, but it is suspected of tax evasion because it does not pay the tax system of the imperial court." ”
He said with a straight face, but Emperor Xinwu's face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know ......?"
"I know. Hai Zhenru interrupted: "That is the Supreme before the throne to support the Xuanyi forbidden army Yulu, but now, the forbidden army has returned to the royal family, the minister hopes that the forbidden army is still borne by the dynasty, and the worst should also be supported by the royal treasury." We must not mess up the foundation of the country and the dynasty because of this. ”
Emperor Xinwu closed his eyes heavily, then opened them suddenly, and asked, "What's the matter with you, the governor of the Xuanyi Forbidden Army, accepting bribes?"
(Whew...... Fresh, just baked, asking for monthly tickets and recommended tickets...... )
