Chapter 257: Dushan
Uncovered the whitewashed peace of the court, there was such a villain hidden under his nose. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Emperor Chongming's mind turned quickly, and he tapped the wide wenge wood book case with his hand, and smiled coldly: "Qian Wei is really Lord Qian, if I remember it well, his ancestral home is Yangzhou, a native of Jiangyin." ”
A group of magistrates alone cannot form a cocoon, and they must have a minister in a high position to hold it up.
According to Emperor Chongming's words, thinking of Liu Ben, who sneakily entered the herbal teahouse twice, Xia Yuzhi boldly said: "Not only Qian Shangshu, but also Liu Ben, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, is also a native of Jiangyin, and he is a brother-in-law with the Taishou Ben of Jiangyin. ”
At the beginning of the Qianlong Guard, Xia Yuzhi's authority increased, and it was naturally his duty to verify a few courtiers.
Emperor Chongming's face sank like water, and he solemnly ordered: "Give me a firm eye on these people, and see what kind of waves they make." ”
Seeing that Emperor Chongming was angry, and remembering that he had been stumbling for a few years, Chen Rujun put the tea cup in his hand and sighed: "It's all the Jiangyin Gang who mistook people, if it weren't for Yuzhi's chance encounter, almost a loyal minister would be buried." When the minister was in Huaizhou, he also heard of Lord Wu's name, and he was really a good official who was diligent and loved the people. ”
Respecting Mrs. Wu's character, remembering that Miss Wu resolved the fight between the other two young ladies at the banquet that night, Xia Yuzhi had a lot of good feelings for the family, and he didn't feel that he had two more words: "It's not just that Lord Wu has been squeezed out, Lord Wu's son has long been born in the two lists, but because Lord Wu's sleeves are breezy and there is no money to circulate, he has been idle at home for a few years now, which is very chilling." ”
Pointing out the country, inspiring words, with the vigor and vigor of young people, to do something great for the benefit of the country and the people, the court needs such a fresh blood to drive vitality.
Emperor Chongming and Chen Rujun were both born in the imperial examination, and they best understand how such a waste will temper the vigor of young people to forge ahead. Emperor Chongming's brows furrowed deeply when he heard this, and he said angrily: "In this way, the officials are not clean, and the six departments of the three provinces must always be sorted out by the cabinet." ”
Boss Xia Ge is in charge of the overall situation, and has already dealt with several officials who are not in his position. Now with Chen Rujun's help, the cabinet is even more prosperous. He bowed down to receive the order, and replied angrily: "The old minister will live up to His Majesty's trust." ”
It is difficult for a clean official to do anything, and he can't make his loyal ministers cold in vain. Emperor Chongming made a decision immediately, and did not wait until the end of the year, and directly issued a holy decree, announcing that Wuxi Taishou Wu would enter Beijing immediately. ”
Loyal ministers and good generals are all pillars of the country, and with the talent of Wu Taishou, he is indeed a bit overkill. Such an upright and righteous person, Emperor Chongming wanted to keep him in the court.
The monarch and ministers agreed here that they wanted to be vigorous and resolute by the cabinet first, directly obtain the account books of the household department, and carefully inquire about the details of the allocation of silver over the years. If you add it up, it won't work.
Qian Weizhen is cunning and cunning, Emperor Chongming served under him in the past, but he found that the flow of silver money was wrong, but he couldn't find his feet. What's more, now, Jun is in the dark and he is in the dark, and Qian Weizhen is naturally more cautious.
Emperor Chongming looked at the first two important ministers and asked, "I don't know what good way the two pavilion elders have?"
Old Xia Ge was still meditating, Chen Rujun suddenly clapped his hands and smiled: "The flow of money is not right, and it is about the act of Zhang Guan and Li Dai, and I dare not make a mistake in the amount." The minister privately speculated that the Jiangyin Gang prevented Wu Taishou from entering Beijing, and it was difficult to guarantee that he had not borrowed the name of Wuxi to exchange silver. Now there is a clever plan, and we have to start with the governor of Huguang, Xu Sansan, the old general. ”
Two days ago, the cabinet had just received a report from the Cabinet for three years, and the old general was very angry, saying that the military salaries in Hubei, Guangxi, and other places had been deducted for no reason. He ordered a careful investigation, only to find that someone had taken these grains and grass from the household under his banner, but they did not send it to the army, and now they do not know where to go.
Just looking at the letter, you can imagine the old general's urgency to jump to scold his mother. Xu three years is coarse and detailed, once he found that there is a difference, he carefully checked the military salary over the years. I found that after only five or six years of hard work, some people in the household department used this method to deduct grain and grass, from the initial 350,000 quintals to more than 100,000 quintals today, which is simply fearless.
Because the treasury is full, there is always only a surplus of grain and grass allocated to the army, and there is no shortage. I don't want someone to target this piece of fat, and I am greedy for ink from the mouths of the soldiers, which is a great crime.
For fear that the morale of the army would be shaken, the old general concealed the matter, and wrote down in detail in the recital, and handed it over to the cabinet with full authority. He only wrote at the end of the recital: "This is still the case in Huguang and Guangzhou, and I beg Your Majesty to carefully check the salaries of the remaining battalions, and I don't know if the soldiers in the border cities are guarding outside, and whether the summer clothes and winter food are sufficient?"
Because it was the border city that fought for many years, and in the past, it was General Su who personally guarded it, and the military salary allocated to the border city was the most generous, and the summer clothes and winter food were naturally worry-free. The old general couldn't say it clearly in his excerpt, but what he was concerned about was whether there was someone who also took a part of the military salary in the name of Su Rui, and then evaporated like Huguang and Guangzhou, and now he doesn't know where to go.
The more famous people are like this, the more no one scrutinizes them. No one could have imagined that someone would dare to snatch food from the hands of founding heroes like Su Rui and Xu Sansan, and directly deduct their grain and grass.
On the side of the border city, Chen Rujun has sent an official document, asking them to carefully prepare the grain and grass in the past few years to see if there are any mistakes. Because of the long distance, he has not yet received a reply from the right general who is now guarding the border city.
The two pavilion elders are a little tacit, and if they can start from Huguang and Guangzhou, the border city will probably be set up by the other party.
If it weren't for Emperor Chongming's frequent mention of the whereabouts of the household money, the two of them would not have paid attention to it. Now it seems that Qian Weizhen is about the same as Zhang Guan Li Dai in recent years, using the treasury silver in various names such as allocating military salaries, but often withholding it privately.
As for the intercepted part of the money, Qian Weizhen also found a good place for them.
Through Huitong Qianzhuang, the property was widely purchased in Jian'an and Kangnan. If the three kingdoms coexist peacefully, Qian Weizhen will be at ease to be his Xixia household secretary. If the smoke of gunpowder gradually rises, no matter which country is outstanding, Qian Weizhen can move to its territory and be alone.
Sure enough, he was born in the household, and he has a good abacus, not to mention, he is bold enough, and his hand is long enough.
Xia Ge Lao clasped his hands in his sleeves, and said: "Exactly, let's start with the old general's folds to see who dares to act recklessly under his banner." First of all, with the momentum of thunder, ask for money and really check yourself, who is fraudulently receiving military salary, or which imp he launched to pay for his life. As long as the gap is opened, you won't be able to catch his fox tail. ”
The household department is in charge of the distribution of money and grain, and few people dare to break ground on Qian Weizhen's Tai Sui. If it weren't for the old general's anger at the crown, I don't know how long this kind of deduction of grain and grass would have been hidden.
