Chapter 69: The Upper Dynasty
The next day happens to be the day of the day, according to the law of the Southern Ming Dynasty, every month on the day of the new year, all officials in Beijing and above have to go to the court, which is more solemn than the usual day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the time difference was a moment, the palace door was opened by the inner attendant, and the hundred officials entered in turn, and a set of cumbersome etiquette was passed.
The emperor was probably sad about the events of the past few days, and his spirit was a little weak, but when he saw Li Yun standing on the side and his body was tall, he came to his senses: "The third child is also here?"
Everyone was silent for a moment, and there was some surprise that the emperor was so concerned about the three princes who were sick and didn't care about political affairs due to the loss of his wife a few days ago, and couldn't help but look at the prince wearing a python suit.
Prince Li Mo's face was indifferent, and he couldn't see any thoughts.
"Back to my father, my son's illness has been cured, so I naturally want to come to the court. Li Yun stepped forward and said respectfully with his fists clenched.
The emperor nodded, just as an ordinary greeting, but Li Yun did not mean to retreat.
"What's the matter?" the emperor was surprised.
Li Yun glanced back at Zeng Jia, who was paying close attention to the movement here, smiled, and said, "It's just as my father thought, but this matter just happened to be encountered by the son's guards, and I have to ask Zeng Jiazeng to inform my father of the matter." ”
The emperor was confused when he heard this, and looked at Zeng Jia.
Li Mo's face changed when he heard this, and he glanced at Song Jingran opposite.
Song Jingran's face is not good-looking, he has a lot of ears and eyes, and he knew it in a quarter of an hour after the incident happened last night, but that Zeng Jia didn't eat oil and salt, soft and hard, and this Li Yun came out to stir up the situation inexplicably, and for the sake of today's plan, he had to give up that straw bag.
He nodded at Li Mo, and the other party breathed a sigh of relief.
Zeng Jia was not in a hurry, walked forward with an indifferent face, stood beside Li Yun, and arched his hand: "Back to the saint, last night in front of the Jingzhao Mansion in charge of Weichen, a group of outlaws were captured. ”
Song Jingran sighed secretly, sure enough, this person had made up his mind to go against him, and as soon as he came up, he deducted the hat of an outlaw to the Chen family's servant. It's just that where did he get the confidence? Is it Li Yun? Or is it ...... Old man Xue?
Hearing this, the emperor's face gradually became serious: "Go on." ”
"Yes," Zeng Jia continued, "a group of foreign robbers tried to rob two carriages near the palace, and in the course of the fight, one of the carriages was destroyed, revealing the contents inside, which was the silver of a carriage. ”
When the ministers heard this, they couldn't help but start whispering. At night, a wagon of silver was transported, and I am afraid that it was more suspicious than the gang of robbers......
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he nodded and motioned for Zeng Jia to continue.
When the servants of Wechen heard the commotion, the robbers had fled, so they inquired about the person in charge of the money, and wanted to know what the money was used for. The person in charge showed Wechen the token of the Vientiane ticket number......"
As soon as the four words of the Vienna ticket number came out, everyone's eyes immediately changed. or laughing at Zeng Jia's incompetence, he dared to pull the prince into the water, or he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and wanted to see how much weight the prince had in the emperor's heart...... In short, almost instantly, everyone's eyes were on the prince.
Li Mo's face changed suddenly. He was in the East Palace, and he didn't know what happened last night, but when he saw Li Yun appear, he felt that he might be a little bad for himself, so he asked Song Jingran with his eyes, but this Zeng Jia actually pulled out his eternal ticket number, and he was confused for a while, until he received a slightly calm look from Song Jingran.
Xue Jianyan next to him took in everything, including Song Jingran's last flash of disdain.
Zeng Jiacai didn't care about this, and continued to say to himself: "After Weichen checked the authenticity of the token, he was about to let these people leave, when more than ten other carriages came one after another. And someone called the person in charge of the matter Chen Cong's housekeeper, and he had some doubts, so he asked people to carefully inspect the carriage later, who knows......"
He paused, and said with a sad face: "Every carriage is loaded with a carriage, and it is official silver. ”
The emperor's face was gloomy: "Can you find out what the origin of those people is?"
"Back to the saint, the next few carriages are engraved with the family crest of the Chen family, and the one named Chen Cong, Weichen checked it overnight last night, and it is the second steward of Chen He's family. ”
"Okay, good," the emperor's face turned pale, "Okay, Chen He, on the one hand, he is loyal to me to relieve the disaster and appease the people, and on the other hand, he will transport the corrupt silver to the ticket number, heh, the next step is to redeem it into a silver ticket to frame the prefect of Hanyang Mansion?
Obviously very angry.
Seeing this, the ministers did not dare to make a sound, and bowed their heads silently.
"Someone came, spread the edict, and immediately sent the Imperial Forest Army to Hanyang, arrested the criminal Chen He, and blocked the Chen family, and idlers were not allowed to enter or leave. ”
The big eunuch on one side hurriedly wrote it down and hurriedly went out to announce the decree.
After sending Chen He, the emperor set his eyes on Li Mo and Huang Zheng, who were trembling on the side.
"Prince, tell me, what's the matter with the Yongzhen ticket number? And you, Huang Zheng, didn't you say that it wasn't Chen He's problem before, and you helped him frame the prefect of Hanyang Mansion together? Tell me, is there anything about you in it?" The emperor threw the confessions of the Chen family on the ground handed by Zeng Jia, who had finished reading it, and said with a dark face.
There is no one in the court who doesn't know about the Vieternity ticket number. At that time, it was because of the heavy flood in Shanxi, so the prince paid out of his own pocket to build a ticket number specifically for disaster relief.
The original intention is good, but over the years, he has turned a blind eye to it for some reasons, and this ticket number has gradually become a tool for Li Mo to collect money, opening all over the country, under the title of the crown prince, no one dares to compete with it, that is, he deliberately pressed it later, and it did not prevent the Cherished ticket number from becoming the first ticket number in the capital.
But today's incident really made him intolerable. If it was really planned by Li Mo, wouldn't it be that the financial resources he had worked so hard to accumulate in the treasury were just being hollowed out and sent to his son by those ministers who changed the law day by day?
The two of them knelt down when they heard this, and Li Yun and Li Yun both retreated to the side, quietly watching the development of the situation.
Huang Zheng first opened his mouth to shout grievances, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know about this matter." On weekdays, I only look at Chen He's appearance of taking the world as his own responsibility, how could he have thought that he is such a subordinate character? The minister did neglect to supervise, but the minister had never been in the same league with those people. ”
