Chapter 447 Disposition
Putting everything on the ledger?
And this kind of operation?
Hearing this, the officials under the head were surprised and scared!
After all, Zhou Liangfu once served as the secretary of the ministry, and he knew a little bit about the affairs of officials, big and small. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
and if the evil deeds which some of them have done are recorded in the ledger......
The consequences are unimaginable!
Will Emperor Hui Chong clean them up with him?
It's really hard to say.
"See, why not!"
Looking at the officials with earthy faces, Emperor Hui Chong still didn't understand anything.
He snorted coldly, glanced at Prince Xuande again, and ordered directly.
Outside, the eunuch shouted sharply, and several soldiers came in carrying a stack of thick things.
Among them, there are letters, account books, and some land deeds and other things, which are placed in the center of the main hall, and it looks like a lot.
And behind a few soldiers, followed by a few petty officials and people dressed as the stewards of the bank.
These should be witnesses!
Several people saluted, and after Emperor Hui Chong nodded and let them get up, the little eunuchs stepped forward and moved the stack of so-called evidence to Emperor Hui Chong's case, which Emperor Hui Chong personally looked at.
Emperor Hui Chong watched for half an hour.
The officials below didn't dare to breathe, and they half raised their heads to secretly look at Emperor Hui Chong, seeing that his brows were getting tighter and tighter, his hands were bruised, and his hearts were all chuckling, knowing that things were not good.
Prince Xuande's forehead sweated anxiously, and he began to look at the princelings again, but now everyone has not figured out what Emperor Huichong's attitude is, and no one dares to act rashly.
Only Prince Xuande was left on the side to do the anxious.
After a long time, just when the atmosphere in the main hall was becoming more and more depressing, Emperor Hui Chong finally raised his head from the account book.
He didn't say anything, only glanced at the officials below him with a pair of eyes, and then glanced at Prince Xuande coldly.
With a "bang", Emperor Hui Chong threw one of the stacks of booklets on the ground.
"The prince is the prince, you should know how to be good at people, what is recorded in this booklet is the record of some officials' crimes, the prince will show you, how should I deal with it?"
Emperor Hui Chong's voice was cold, and seeing that there was no room for negotiation, Prince Xuande shuddered, and stood up trembling.
"The stakes are high, son...... Erchen didn't dare to ...... Meddle, Father...... It's good that my father decides!"
The more you get to the end, the less confident you are.
"Let you see, you will watch! No need to say more......"
Emperor Hui Chong was not polite at all, and Prince Xuande had to step forward, squatting on the ground in front of all the officials, picking up the booklet on the ground, and reading it little by little.
He was like a man on his back, and he only felt that the words in front of him were not words, but turned into blades, and he was delayed a little bit.
The further down he looked, the more Prince Xuande sweated coldly.
Zhou Liangfu, this bastard!
Although his name was not said above, look at these officials recorded above, all of them are his confidants.
Planted in various places, secretly amassing money and controlling public opinion, these people have contributed a lot.
Who would have thought that how each official took office, how long he was in office, and who replaced him...... were all recorded by Zhou Liangfu one by one.
Almost none of them are serious.
In addition, some officials who were suppressed are also recorded above, and the reasons for which they were suppressed and to what extent are also clearly marked.
As for whose order was given, it was represented by only the word "Jun".
"Jun sent Cai Qing to ask ......"
"The monarch envoy and the internal officials urge ......"
"The king is angry that he can't do anything but make the rest ......"
……
The person who has a relationship with Cai Shaoyu and can be called "Jun" by both Cai Shaoyu and Zhou Liangfu can guess who it is without thinking about it!
Presumably, Emperor Hui Chong must have been clear, so he deliberately sent him to see it.
This is...... I'm not going to let him go.
Thinking of this, Prince Xuande's bones were weak, and he almost lost his temper in front of the ministers.
Emperor Hui Chong ignored him, but began to question the witnesses of the next head in front of all the officials.
He asked, and the person at the head of the group replied that there was almost no difference between the details of the events and the money and money recorded in the account books.
Emperor Hui Chong's face darkened completely.
Halfway through the questioning, Emperor Hui Chongdi was completely clear in his heart, and he didn't continue, waving his hand to signal all these witnesses to go down.
The hall was quiet again.
Gao Zhuo stood in front of the hundred officials, looking at his nose and nose, and did not speak again since presenting the evidence, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.
"Prince?!"
Emperor Hui Chong called again.
"Alas......"
Prince Xuande stood back in his original position and replied carefully.
"Tell me, what should we do with these officials?"
"This ...... Erchen ...... Erchen ......"
Prince Xuande raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his head, his voice was like a mosquito, and he couldn't answer.
"What? Do you have any scruples?"
"I didn't ...... No, no, no!"
Prince Xuande hurriedly denied it, turned his head to look at the officials who were standing at the head of the Great Highness and raised his eyes to look at him, and finally gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "These officials are like black sheep, despising the king's law...... He should be dismissed from office according to the law...... Even...... Even...... Behead the public!"
It is not clear which officials are the next hundred officials.
But seeing Prince Xuande's hesitant appearance, many officials breathed a sigh of relief, while everyone in the princeling party was in danger, for fear that the unlucky one was himself.
Hearing this, Emperor Hui Chong snorted and said solemnly: "It's good that you know!" Whether you are a minister or a king, you should put the general righteousness first in everything, and these officials will ignore the people for the sake of a small profit...... How can you take on such a big responsibility?"
Emperor Hui Chong was talking about the officials in his mouth, but his eyes were firmly fixed on Prince Xuande, and he couldn't wait to stare at a hole, obviously it was for him.
"That's what my father said!"
Prince Xuande hurriedly nodded yes, but he was bitter in his heart.
Can't afford it?
Is it yourself?
He chuckled inwardly.
"Holy!"
Just when the father and son were secretly competing, Gao Zhuo stood up again.
"Lord Cai...... What do you think should be done?"
"Deal with it as you do!"
Emperor Hui Chong didn't even hesitate, and replied directly: "He and Zhou Liangfu, since they are both masterminds in this case of selling official positions, it is only right that they should be treated equally and imprisoned together...... Then he doesn't have to come out of the prison, let him stay in it honestly, and the third division will carefully interrogate it......"
As for the mysterious "Jun", Emperor Hui Chong didn't mention it.
This was expected by Gao Zhuo, and he didn't expect Emperor Hui Chong to kill Prince Xuande because of this incident.
It's just that the disappointment has been formed, and the relationship between the father and son is not as good as before.
