783. Accepting bribes

After the Yao family split up in two rooms, Yao Qishen became the pillar of the Changfang family, and the title naturally changed from the young master to the master, and the subordinates had to be called Yao Qishen every time they were called like this, and the Zhu family, who was called the old lady, was also very unaccustomed, less than thirty was the most beautiful time for women, and she was called ten years old for no reason.

After becoming the master, Yao Qishen became more and more calm, every performance in the court must be praised by Emperor Yao, but at a young age, he became a man of the year in the court, and there was an endless stream of people visiting Yao's courtyard, Zhu got Yao Qishen's orders, and only left posts, and all the gifts were returned, and Emperor Yao praised Yao Qishen for being honest and noble after hearing about it!

Yao Qishen, the honest and noble old man Yao, took the first impeachment note in his official career on this day.

"The minister wants to impeach the man who is scattered and riding, and Lord He accepts bribes of 50,000 taels of silver and two mansions!"

In order to stay in Beijing and take up a post, the foreign officials will not only have a good relationship with the ministry, but will also bribe the close ministers of the Son of Heaven and beg them to say a few kind words for themselves in front of the Son of Heaven.

Yao Qishen, as a revisionist, although he was impeached beyond his duties, but there was a reason and basis in the recital, and even when and where he accepted bribes, etc., were clearly written, and Master He was responsible for admonishing the emperor for his negligence, if he himself misbehaved and had a defective character, how could he assume such a duty? What is more, what if he took advantage of his position to steal state secrets?

The matter related to the national body has become cautious, Emperor Yao watched the recital with a calm face and did not speak, and the adults who were originally a little unconvinced Yao Qishen and the holy family Zhenglong did not dare to make accusations at will, even the impeached Lord He himself forgot to refute it at the first time, and it took a long time before he hurriedly came out of the column and knelt down, "The minister is wronged, please also ask the Holy Lord to investigate!"

Yao Qishen dared to volunteer to hand over this fold, and he had full confidence to convict Lord He, "Lord He said that he was wronged, so please explain the origin of the two houses on Yongping Street!"

Even the location was found out, Lord He was startled, and stumbled under the emperor's questioning gaze, "Go back...... Back to the emperor, that ...... The house...... It was the dowry of Wechen's eldest daughter-in-law, and it was later given to Wechen as a birthday gift!"

The house was renamed several times before it reached Lord He, and in order to prevent anyone from checking, it was deliberately transferred to the daughter-in-law's name first, and then transferred to Lord He.

Yao Qishen immediately retorted, "Lord He's eldest daughter-in-law married into the He family seven years ago, but these two buildings changed hands to Grandma He five years ago and two years ago, respectively, and they were renamed under Lord He's name in less than a month, and before that, the original owner of one building was Lord Zhu of the current Liaozhou Prefect, and the original owner of the other building was the master of Guanglu Temple Zhao who was derelict in his duties two years ago and should have been beheaded in the end but was demoted!"

There is no doubt that these two people are the ones who bribed Lord He!

The matter of Zhu Zhifu is too old, and Emperor Yao doesn't remember it, but Master Zhao still has an impression, "Master Zhao? It's Zhao Xuan! He was greedy for a cup and mistook things, missed the breakfast in the whole palace, and tried in vain afterwards to blame others, and he should be beheaded for the crime! However, He Aiqing advised me to be generous as the Son of Heaven, and not to kill the courtiers because of just a meal, for fear of losing a bad reputation for cruelty and pleasure, and strongly advised the ministers to be punished lightly!"

Emperor Yao had already remembered that it was useless for Lord He to argue, and Yao Qishen had found out the name change of the deed clearly, so he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and howl, "The minister is guilty! The minister is guilty!"

"Pull it down!" Emperor Yao waved his hand in disgust, "This case will be handed over to the Criminal Department for trial, and the truth must be ascertained, and none of the officials who have bribed him can be let go!"

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department personally went out to receive the order, "The minister obeys the order!"

Yao Qishen's impeachment of overstepping his duties Emperor Yao did not pursue it, and no one mentioned it again, the impeachment of the He family is just a beginning, the focus is on the big fish behind the He family, the impeachment of the He family is just to show his position, some things from the beginning, there is no room for any mistakes!

Out of the main hall, Yao Qishen straightened his spine, and strode towards the Jixian Hall under the vigilant, admiring, or indifferent eyes of the courtiers.

Hearing what happened in the early dynasty, Yao Keqing was surprised for a long time and finally showed a relieved smile, her younger brother can take on the burden of a family, and she will be relieved!

Emperor Yao personally spoke, the Criminal Department did not dare to slack off, day and night took turns to interrogate Lord He, Lord He couldn't bear it, all confessed, the amount of bribes was far more than what Yao Qishen mentioned in the fold, it was as high as 300,000 taels, involving more than 50 officials.

Shocked the government and the opposition for a moment! A small member of the army can take advantage of his position to accept bribes of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but what about other important ministers in important positions?

Emperor Yao was furious, and immediately asked Lord He to behead, and then investigated the He family, and the income of the family was filled into the treasury, but after a day and night, the He family was scattered, and other officials involved in the case also began to review one after another, and other officials were involved, and Emperor Yao ordered all to be severely punished!

Everyone in the court suddenly became dangerous, for fear of being implicated, and even more directly took the initiative to surrender and hand over the bribes in order to be lenient.

Yao Qishen, as the initiator, has always been on the cusp, and people can't help but sweat for him, for fear that someone will secretly retaliate, but he is upright and has never shown half of his cowardice. He is burdened by the heavy burden of Zhongxing Changfang, when he first entered the officialdom, he did not dare to be careless, and the Yao family was ruined in the gang, so he did not cling to any relationship, and even his grandfather and uncle's family only talked about official affairs, not personal relations, he had to maintain absolute neutrality and integrity in order to win the emperor's favor forever, and the emperor's grace was the only one he could honor!

Yao Keqing was also very worried about his brother's safety, except for telling him to be careful and careful, and letting Uncle Fan follow him every step of the way, there was no other way, just looking forward to the feet of the Son of Heaven, so that he would be more restrained and dare not retaliate for favoritism!

I thought that after the separation, I could take a breath, but I didn't expect to worry more about the division after the separation, before the second room, I only had to guard against the second room, but now there are unknown enemies on all sides, it is really impossible to prevent it, I can't do it, Yao Keqing feels powerless and angry.

Although he understands his brother's actions, he still can't help but blame in his heart, he is too risky to do this, it is true that using this direct behavior to make a stand is the best way to reflect his resolute attitude, but he has to endure the threat of retaliation afterwards, this threat will even last for several years, and in the next few years, his brother will live on thin ice, how can she not feel distressed? That is the younger brother she brought up!

Even Yao Keqing was dissatisfied with her husband who hid herself, and it was not the first time that these two people had "acted in embarrassment" to hide from themselves, but this time Yao Keqing was really angry.
