Chapter 120: Deliberation
Zhang Ting's body shook, and he almost didn't lie down.
He secretly glanced at the two elders, and then looked at the prince of the auxiliary country, Wang Bingzheng, and saw that several elders were all frowning and looking at the two booklets, and their faces became more and more gloomy.
Soon, several people put down the booklet in their hands and squinted at the Tobe Shangshu.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Ting's forehead.
It's useless to look at him! He didn't do it! How could his hand be so long? Every year, when I urge the grain tax downward, it is almost a sad history of blood and tears, and no one in the household department wants to do this! Don't look at the scenery of him sitting in this position, who knows the hard work inside? When all the money in the treasury is his own? When they embezzled one by one, they spoke coldly and squeezed, and when he came to collect debts, he only saw his nostrils and couldn't see his eyes, which was even more arrogant than his grandfather! He didn't get any benefit from himself, and he ate all the special ones below!
These bastards! How dare you deceive yourself and frame yourself! When you go back, you must stab the villains and curse them to death!
"How? Finished reading them all? Gao Shenghan was closing his eyes and recuperating, and he didn't hear the sound of turning the page, so he opened his eyes and looked at them coldly.
"Your Majesty, if this matter is true, the ministers will resolutely support the emperor's resolution. Such evil deeds that corrupt the state system must not be tolerated! Elder Li Ge pondered it and took the lead in speaking. Liao Jirong, the prefect of Ji'an, is his protégé, he is an experienced worker, sleek and very good at drilling, he also had a lot of support for Liao Jirong back then, and he received a lot of filial piety every year, but now he doesn't come out to speak, I'm afraid he won't be able to say it in the future. Since the emperor can show them these things, he thinks it is certain.
Elder Li Ge sighed secretly. The emperor grew up, and he actually knew to bypass them and act on his own, but they didn't hear any news about it!
"Master Dong, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Gao Shenghan's face was expressionless, and he motioned to the little eunuch to take back the booklets scattered all over the place.
Dong Ge Lao once served in the Criminal Department, also spent a few years in Dali Temple, and also served as the imperial history, and he has a share of the credit for the gradual improvement of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. She didn't know who the Ji'an prefect was, and she didn't want to kill the big and small officials who committed crimes in the Qilu realm with a stick. According to her previous practice in the company, when she encountered such a deception, she took public property to privately fill her personal treasury, directly smeared it on the file, and then fired her from the file, and then sent a message to the media, and then spread it in the industry, so as to ensure that the three generations of children and grandchildren of this goods and their parents, spouses, brothers and sisters will never find a job in the future! It's still light to go back to your hometown to farm, and it's best to sit directly through the prison!
Obviously, however, this approach cannot be used here. This is not a matter that can be solved by reparations and jail time.
It is a matter of the national system and the face of the heavenly family, and the authority of the emperor is strict, and she can't be punished lightly.
Dong Ge Lao looked at the emperor's trust, thought about it for a while, and understood that the emperor wanted to use this incident to give a warning to the subordinates, deter, and let those officials with different intentions do things honestly. It may be that only Qilu's fields have been checked at present, and the places next to it have not yet been investigated, as long as the land, money, and grain that have been corrupted over the years are honestly handed over, there is still room for turnaround.
He bowed deeply and said slowly: "Back to the emperor, the minister believes that this matter should be handled in accordance with the law. The principal, behead! "Kill a few masterminds, and the rest can be explained clearly, return the money and food, and get back one by one. Human lives are at stake, and they must be eager to dig out their family funds to buy a way to live. But he was secretly surprised in his heart: the emperor's methods were rough and cruel, and he would cut people if he didn't go well, and the courtiers who made him angry before were either dead or abolished, so why did he have to ask them what they meant? Just now, he thought that at least hundreds of families would be killed and thousands of lives would be destroyed.
Gao Shenghan nodded, "This matter will be handed over to Elder Dong, and the three divisions will be tried." Squinting at Zhang Ting, he opened his mouth to say something, thought about it, and gave up. This thing stays in Beijing, and the people who do things are the people below, and it is impossible for others to deceive him and personally go down to review them one by one, and unlike when he inspected the company's performance, he flew from this city to that city and even crossed the ocean......
Gao Shenghan suddenly thought of an idea.
"Zhang Ting stays, and the others have nothing to do."
Zhang Ting almost didn't scare to pee!
Is this to be rebuked with a rod or scourged, or to have him chopped up alive?
His heart was bitter, and he watched with envy as the three elders left.
The three old men walked out of the upper study, basking in the bright sunshine, couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on their necks, clasped their fists with each other, and left separately.
Dong Ge Lao deliberately bypassed the west corridor, and when he passed by the entrance of the Imperial Garden, he saw his grandson. The boy was standing by the flowers and trees behind the archway, nodding at himself, shaking the budding branches in his hands, smiling playfully, and turned and ran.
Seeing that his grandson had a ruddy face and was in good health, and he was not tossed by the emperor and couldn't get out of bed, Dong Ge Lao breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about his body and bones, he didn't know how many years he could work, and he had to plan a way out for this child. His sons...... Dong Ge snorted lightly. When he doesn't know what they're up to? The grandson is the safest only if he is placed by the emperor's side! Although he suffered a little crime, as long as he waited for the emperor and made some small merits for the emperor to remember, he would not have to worry about it in this life.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ting shook out of the upper study with his legs and feet.
He felt that everything had really gone wrong recently, and he must have not served his ancestors well during the New Year!
However, if it weren't for the blessing of his ancestors, how could he still come out alive? He was not even removed from his post, nor was he questioned, but he just let himself go back and check carefully, Qilu, Jindi, and Lianghu, which officials have gone down to copy and compare the cultivated population in the past few years, and all of them were reported by the emperor.
Woowoo...... The emperor is still willing to believe in himself! It was not in vain, he has worked hard for the emperor in the past few years! Sure enough, the emperor is still merciful, and whoever says that the emperor is brutal and bloody in the future will be in a hurry!
However, in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry, a few people are selected every year to inspect agricultural and commercial activities in various places, and the population growth rate is ...... What do you mean?
Zhang Ting went home with a head full of question marks.
Gao Shenghan returned to the Qianji Palace, and before he changed his clothes, Shen Damei entered the door with a large bouquet of flowers.
Looking at the enchanting and beautiful face reflected in the flowers, Gao Shenghan was a little jealous while pleasing to the eye. The special old lady is working tirelessly in front, and these little moths are gnawing at her little coffers in the back! It's so unreasonable!
Shen Yifei replaced the bouquet in the vase with the one he brought, and was thinking about what to do with the replaced flowers, when his waist was loosened, and the belt inlaid with jade inlaid treasures was suddenly pulled off!
He looked down in amazement, and a pair of small hands wrapped around him, tearing open the placket of his shirt with force.
