After all, it is after the festival, although the weather is unusually rainy and early, the lively words when gathering together are enough, the court is harmonious, but a few positions in the ranks of the hundred officials have been empty, and the people standing in the front row have changed, and the transfer of power is carried out most quietly on the most formal Ming Palace.

All kinds of changes are tacitly understood, and they only walk through this undercurrent of flow, on the contrary, the most eye-catching thing in the Mingtang is glory. The first call of the new emperor to open the dynasty: give the prime minister Lu Yuanzhi Mingtang seat, on the Danqi, sit on the side of the emperor, every day in the court, the general regent of state affairs.

The monarch who has not been seen in Daqi for hundreds of years sits in the court, this kind of reward is really extreme, Lu Yuanzhi bowed to thanks, and the new emperor personally went down to the palace to welcome him into the seat.

Gu Qingxuan, who was in the second-rank official column, did not say a word in the entire court meeting.

After the early dynasty was over, the ministers dispersed, Gu Qingxuan was summoned by the emperor to the imperial study to face the saint, but he was first left outside the door and knelt for a long time, the chief eunuch Jin Gonggong finally came to pass him in, he bowed his head and entered, according to the rules of the direction of the dragon case to salute, as soon as he raised his head but did not see the new emperor, the first thing that caught his eye was Lu Yuanzhi sitting on the side of the tea house, as well as Lu Yuanze, the son of the Lu family, and Lu Yuancheng, the son of the Lu family, and Lu Yuancheng, the concubine of the Lu family, who were standing on the side.

"Calm down, Gu Qing. ”

He walked under the bookshelf on the left side of the study, and looked down at the piece in his hand, not looking sideways at anyone. After the early dynasty, he changed out of the deep dark red dragon robe, took off the jade bead crown, and wore a white dragon pattern robe with a silver background, tied with a dark amber jade belt, the clothes were simple and luxurious, and the seven-foot body was just right, not impatient and calm, after all, he was born in the royal family, and his nobility was natural and extraordinary. Although he is only a young man of twenty and seven, he is even more abrupt when he passes by the two sons of the Lu family, Lu Yuanze has the reputation of the first son of Chang'an City, and his appearance and posture are indeed unmatched, but in terms of temperament and demeanor, Lu Yuanze, who is wearing an official uniform at this time, stands out to everyone in front of him.

Gu Qingxuan inexplicably remembered the first time he saw Chen Jingxing twenty years ago, when Chen Jingxing was still a seven-year-old son, and he had nothing to do with Lu Yuanzhi. Back then, he was just a small man who had just gained fame, and he was fortunate to enter the palace to congratulate him when he got the state banquet.

The battle for the heir for more than ten years ended with Chen Jingxing's accession to the throne, and where is the prince and princess of the palace now? Only he Chen Jingxing is left.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Gu Qingxuan got up, turned around and bowed to Lu Yuanzhi, and then stood solemnly facing Chen Jingxing: "Weichen listens to the holy teachings. ”

Chen Jingxing sat down in front of the dragon case, glanced at Gu Qingxuan, his face changed, and then he threw the piece in his hand in front of him, "Gu Qing explain, explain!"

Gu Qingxuan knelt down again, picked up the chapter and looked at it, although there was no signature on the chapter, only the official seal of the household department, but he could still see at a glance who it was from - his deputy Wei Kun, the head of the household department. At a second glance, he was not surprised by what was played, but it was nothing more than the so-called "incriminating evidence".

First of all, he listed the total amount of taxes, tribute, salt transportation, disaster relief, royal expenses, and so on, and each item listed the amount, apparently transcribed from the general statement of the household department at the end of the year, but under the final total amount was marked with a red pen, and this number was calculated by him himself, but the number calculated by the black pen was more than 650,000 yuan.

Gu Qingxuan closed the chapter and kowtowed: " In June last year, the flood in Hexi was flooded, and His Majesty ordered Wechen to allocate funds for disaster relief, with a total treasury branch of 13.54 million taels, and a total of 5.78 million taels of fundraising, and then His Majesty supported 10 million taels of flood control embankments on the east bank of the Hexi River, totaling 29.32 million taels. ”

Chen Jingxing was silent, Lu Yuanzhi looked at Gu Qingxuan coldly, and said: "How can Gu Shangshu not know? The rest of the funds are under the responsibility of a special person, and there is no mistake at all every month, and the Hexi disaster relief funds are handled by you with full authority...... Hmph, even if the 650,000 taels of headless money are not privately swallowed by you, what crime should you be guilty of losing money as a household secretary and not noticing?"

Chen Jingxing glanced at Lu Yuanzhi and the second son of the Lu family, and said, "Xiangguo is right, just the crime of dereliction of duty Gu Qing is inevitable!"

Gu Qingxuan kowtowed: "Weichen is derelict in his duties, but please give your majesty grace, and Weichen will definitely find out and make up for the missing money!"

Hearing him say this, Lu Yuanzhi just snorted, Chen Jingxing's face became colder, and said, "No need, I have given you a lot of time, but you really make me feel cold, and I trust you in vain." Xiangguo has already seen it, there are more than one omissions in the household table, Gu Qing, I think the accounts of this household department should be checked carefully......"

Chen Jingxing paused, Lu Yuanzhi seemed to have something to say, but he continued: "I order you to hand over all the accounts of the household department in the past ten years to the Yushitai within three days, and the Yushitai will personally review and investigate......

"Then don't do it. ”

Gu Qingxuan bowed three times and kowtowed: "Weichen respectfully obeys the holy will, thank you Lord Longen." ”

After he retired, the Lu family father and son continued to discuss with Chen Jingxing, and did not leave the imperial study until noon after receiving the imperial meal.

When the most powerful family in the dynasty, father and son, walked on the road, Lu Yuanze saw Lu Yuanzhi frowning and thinking deeply, so he asked: "Is my father thinking about Gu Qingxuan's corruption?"

"Corruption?" Lu Yuanzhi suddenly laughed, shook his head and said, "No, he is corrupt?

"But it's strange, how did he poke out such a big basket this time? The child still thinks it's ......," Lu Yuancheng muttered behind.

Lu Yuanzhi glanced back at him: "Why do you think it is because my father is secretly harming him? Hmph, I abandoned him to prevent him and harm him, what good will it do me? Don't take him too seriously, hum!"

Lu Yuancheng hurriedly smiled, blocked his brother, approached his father, and said in a low voice: "Yes, it's the child who wants to go wrong, but father, the child understands what you are thinking, our Lu family and their Gu family have to draw a clear line, father, you can't protect him, but after twenty years of joining forces, our Lu family will inevitably have big and small handles in his hands...... Now he sees that he can't protect himself, and His Majesty wants to check the accounts of the household department again, I'm afraid this will implicate our Lu family......"
