Chapter 148: Corruption in Fuzhou
Meng Shaoguang saw that the time was almost up, and he didn't go around in circles with Meng Chenhuan, put down the stove and poured himself a cup of tea, put it to his lips and blew it, then remembered something and took it in his hand again, looked at Meng Chenhuan and raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that the prince has a good relationship with Chen Xianhe, the head of the household?" ”
Meng Chenhuan only felt that there was something in Meng Shaoguang's words, so he had to think about it and said: "It's just general, it's just that Chen Xianhe is a household secretary, even if he doesn't win over, he can't be offended." "The three provinces and six ministries plus the cabinet, the ministers of the humerus are all inside, there are not many people who can be used in Meng Chenhuan's hands, and now most of those who watch the prince be affected and change the direction of the wind are in the imperial court.
Meng Shaoguang didn't break through Meng Chenhuan, just took a sip of tea and lowered his eyelashes and looked at the tea rotating in his hand and reminded: "I advise the prince to stay away from Chen Xianhe, so as not to know when he will be implicated." ”
Meng Chenhuan's eyes flashed with joy, of course Meng Chenhuan knew that Chen Xianhe was the prince's person, but mastering the household department was equivalent to mastering the entire Dasheng's treasury, so he had some contacts with Chen Xianhe from time to time, revealing something meaningful, but Chen Xianhe didn't get in with oil and salt, which made him angry.
"What does the young general mean by this, could it be that there is something wrong with Chen Xianhe?" Since Meng Shaoguang helped him ascend to the throne of King Chen in one fell swoop, Meng Chenhuan's confidence in Meng Shaoguang has swelled vigorously, and he almost regards Meng Shaoguang as an omnipotent person. He subconsciously thought that as long as the person Meng Shaoguang was eyeing would be unlucky. So when Meng Shaoguang mentioned Chen Xianhe, Meng Chenhuan was so excited.
This confidence is not trust, but to the collaborators. No, or maybe it's the right people. Determination of the ability of subordinates.
Don't look at how Meng Chenhuan respects Meng Shaoguang now, but he still thinks that he is Jun Meng Shaoguang as a minister. After all, if Meng Shaoguang really helped him sit on the throne, he would naturally be the supreme one, even if Meng Shaoguang didn't admit it, she could only be a courtier, and Meng Chenhuan was not the one who was the emperor. This kind of thinking is deeply rooted in Meng Chenhuan's heart, so depending on how much he knows about Meng Shaoguang's ability now, the moment he sits on the throne, he will have a taboo against Shao.
The bird is hidden. Isn't that the truth?
Meng Shaoguang didn't need to look to know what Meng Chenhuan's expression was now, she raised her eyes lightly and looked at Meng Chenhuan, and asked, "Do you still remember the Fuzhou corruption case five years ago?" ”
Not a single cent of 800,000 taels of silver was recovered. At that time, it blew up Dasheng's sky, how could Meng Chenhuan not remember.
Meng Chenhuan's mind was a little unable to turn, he claimed to be smart but he could never keep up with Meng Shaoguang's thinking, which made him somewhat frustrated. At the same time, the vigilance against Meng Shaoguang in his heart was also superimposed. Such a person is not only extremely wise and close to the demon, but also has an army of 300,000 in his hands, and he can't stay! But he can't kill him now, and he still expects Meng Shaoguang to push him on the throne.
No wonder Meng Chenhuan has no doubts about Meng Shaoguang's move to support him, after all, the relationship between the emperor and King An's mansion is well known, and now the prince is dying with Meng Shaoguang to the point of endless death, and the prince is the eldest son of the emperor, so Meng Shaoguang will not watch the prince sit on the throne no matter what, and he is the prince of the six princes. He is blessed with nothing but no fighting heart, and the eleventh prince is still young. The only thing Meng Shaoguang can choose is himself.
This recognition did not make Meng Chenhuan too proud, even if he was proud, he never showed it, after all, King An's Mansion has been fighting with the emperor for so many years, in the final analysis, it is still an attitude problem, Meng Chenhuan doesn't want to lose such a big help as King An's Mansion because he didn't hold back for a while, so for now, he still endures.
"Of course I know, this case was thoroughly investigated by the father and the emperor, and it was embezzled by the emperor at that time, and the father was angry and killed the Shui family and those who may be related to this case, even if the Shui family is mentioned now, the people of Fuzhou are also gritting their teeth with hatred."
Meng Chenhuan had no doubts about this case, after all, the silver was handed over to Shui Ying when he came out of the household department, and Shui Ying claimed that the silver had been robbed when passing through Meihualing in Qianzhou, and the accompanying army was killed to the ground, leaving only the powerless people and Shui Ying brought by the Shui family; In order to prevent the riots of the people of Fuzhou, the army arrived in less than three days, and then broke the cottage and did not see the half-cent silver, the people of the cottage claimed that they did not know what silver, and they all committed suicide by poisoning before they had time to interrogate, and the garrison felt strange and reported to the emperor, and the emperor sent the prince to investigate the case.
At that time, a soldier who pretended to be dead and escaped said that there were no bandits at all, and this was all a play directed and acted by Shui Ying, and then Shui Ying was questioned and the whole family was imprisoned. On the second day, the Shui family's family committed suicide by taking poison, and Shui Ying also left a suicide note to confess to the crime, but did not explain where the silver went, and the case was closed.
Shui Ying's crime was reported to the whole country, and the people were eager to go to the ancestral grave of the Shui family. The people of Fuzhou were even worse, and some radicals really dug up the ancestral graves of the Shui family, and it was the prince who suppressed the matter later.
Meng Shaoguang stared at Meng Chenhuan with sparkling eyes after hearing this, until he couldn't stand Meng Chenhuan's staring anymore, and then slowly spoke: "What does the prince think?" ”
Meng Chenhuan was shocked, but he didn't show it, he knew that Meng Shaoguang couldn't bring up the Shui family's case for no reason, but he didn't want Meng Shaoguang to mean that this case was really strange.
That's a full 800,000 taels of silver! At that time, the emperor was so angry that he almost fainted. The accompanying 2,000 soldiers were all wiped out, and Shui Ying didn't say where the silver went until he died, the 800,000 taels five years ago can almost be increased by three or four times now, which is not a small amount.
"What does the young general mean that this silver is not greedy for by the Shui family?" Meng Chenhuan couldn't figure it out, it was 800,000 taels, if it wasn't about Shui Ying, he wouldn't believe it anyway, 800,000 taels could suddenly disappear overnight? How can it be? Unless someone guarded and stole it, the silver would have been transferred to another place long ago, and the one who could do this, except for Qin Cha Shuiying at that time, he really couldn't think of a second one.
"The prince thinks that five years ago, there were more idle officials in the imperial court than Shui Ying, so why was Shui Ying, a Jing Zhaoyin, sent to disaster relief? Doesn't the prince have any doubts about this? ”
Meng Chenhuan was also puzzled at the time, but this didn't mean anything. The evidence of Shui Ying's corruption is conclusive, and there is his handwritten confession, he really doesn't understand what is worth mentioning in this case.
Seeing Meng Chenhuan puzzled. A trace of coldness crossed Meng Shaoguang's eyes, and his voice was a little colder than just now: "If you hadn't made up your mind at the beginning to pay attention to calculating Shui Ying, how could you have formed a gang to get Shui Ying to Fuzhou." "This thing was wrong from the beginning, how could everything after that start singing without arranging? From the moment the emperor announced that Shui Ying would go to Fuzhou, it was doomed to the end of the Shui family.
Officialdom is dark and unguardable.
Meng Chenhuan saw that Meng Shaoguang was so sure, and he also believed it a little. He didn't believe that Meng Shaoguang would be okay to say this to tease him. At this time, he was a little excited, Meng Shaoguang just mentioned Chen Xianhe, do you want to make a move on the household? !
Seeing Meng Chenhuan's eyebrows, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes. The corners of Meng Shaoguang's mouth slowly curved. When she heard such a shocking thing, she only thought about her own interests, and such a person was really shameful for her. Of course, Meng Shaoguang is not a person who will wronged himself.
"If the prince wants to know the ins and outs of the matter, go and check the accounts of the household department in the past ten years."
Meng Chenhuan hadn't had time to put away his joy. I heard that Meng Shaoguang was cold for more than one or two points. I was annoyed and angry, but I didn't dare to say anything on my face, so I had to pretend to know my mistake and hurriedly agreed, "The young general told me to listen to it naturally, but the accounts of the household department are not something that can be checked......
He didn't believe that Meng Shaoguang would have investigated this matter so clearly, and there would be no information from the household department, otherwise how could Meng Shaoguang dare to speak for the Shui family so firmly.
Meng Shaoguang didn't raise his eyelids, didn't look at Meng Chenhuan's careful thoughts, and said lightly: "Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while." Tong Zhi doesn't need it, does the prince still want to keep him for the elderly? ”
Meng Chenhuan was really shocked this time! Meng Shaoguang actually dug out all the people he had hidden so deeply! Is there anything else in the capital that she Meng Shaoguang doesn't know?!
Meng Chenhuan felt that his entire back was wet when he thought about it, it was terrible! How did the power of the An Wangfu develop? Such a secret thing can be found out. Meng Chenhuan is now even more determined to get rid of Meng Shaoguang at all costs after the matter is completed. No, it's the entire Anwang Mansion!
Meng Shaoguang watched Meng Chenhuan leave a little absent-mindedly, stood up and turned around to go outside.
"With this IQ, I still want to be an emperor, stupider than a pig."
The six princes who came out nodded slightly. Since Meng Shaoguang dared to expose his power in front of Meng Chenhuan, he was naturally not afraid of Meng Chenhuan's taboo. Because Meng Shaoguang didn't want to put Meng Chenhuan on the throne at all, and Meng Chenhuan was destined to be incomparable to Meng Shaoguang for the rest of his life. It's ridiculous that Meng Chenhuan didn't even notice it at all.
The sixth prince handed over the cloak and stove he took out in his hand to Meng Shaoguang, and sat beside her without Meng Shaoguang, looking at her without blinking, and asked, "Then what do you mean by exposing all these things in front of me?" Aren't you afraid that after I ascend the throne, I will attack King An's Mansion? ”
The sixth prince thought with some pleasure, maybe Meng Shaoguang still trusted him.
Such a stupid question unexpectedly brought Meng Shaoguang a contemptuous look, and put the cloak on his body casually, Meng Shaoguang hugged the stove and said domineeringly: "I can send you up, and I can also drag you down." ”
The sixth prince was speechless for a while, opened his mouth and was speechless. He really couldn't cry or laugh at this time, as a collaborator, couldn't he give a little comfort?
Meng Shaoguang didn't seem to see the bitter expression of the six princes, turned his face to look at the thawed lake, and said to himself: "Actually, I still like Taotao my favorite." ”
Meng Shaoguang is really, Concubine Ning will Taotao education is very good, as a prince is not arrogant or impatient, has a good mentality and does not know what is rich and poor at this age, according to the development of this situation, Taotao will inevitably be rooted in the future.
"Taotao is indeed very likable." What the sixth prince said was also true, but Concubine Ning educated Taotao so much that she never thought of wanting Taotao to sit in that position. Concubine Ning has never valued these. And Taotao will grow up healthily under her influence, and it is the most inappropriate to participate in these deceptions.
Meng Shaoguang seemed to expect the sixth prince to say this, with a smug smile on his face, and the whole person looked full of energy: "So if Taotao wants to come to Hebei to play in the future, you can't stop it." "Finding a caring big brother for my brother or something, I feel so excited when I think about it.
The sixth prince was really stunned when he heard this, and after coming back to his senses, there was only one thought in his mind, so he said: "You seem to like children very much? After all, Meng Shaoguang swore that he would never marry outside, but the people of Hejing looked at it, not to mention what kind of person is worthy of a person with Meng Shaoguang's status, only to say that where the worthy people will let their sons get rich. Even if this person is a major general of the famous 300,000 Nan'an Army, this matter is about face, not that you can not care if you don't care.
Meng Shaoguang didn't care at all, it seemed that he thought of Xiao Chuyang, and the smile on his face softened more and more, "The child is soft and glutinous, very cute, isn't it?" ”
Children are the purest existence, people are good at the beginning, who is born the same, and then what kind of person they will grow into has a lot to do with education, the surrounding people, and the living environment. Meng Shaoguang likes children, likes their ignorant babbling appearance, the innocence that can be deceived by a piece of candy, the recklessness of shaking hands when they quarrel and fighting, and the recklessness that never remembers in their hearts.
But Xiao Chuyang is in Hebei, and she has no reason to go back...... Meng Shaoguang suddenly looked at the six princes beside him in distress, and opened his mouth to ask, "When are you going to have a child?" ”
The sixth prince looked at Meng Shaoguang's sparkling little eyes, and he really couldn't bear to tell her that he didn't want a child for the time being.
Meng Shaoguang was a little disappointed to see that the six princes didn't speak, but he also knew that he was asking this question a little wrong, this topic seems to be very dirty in this era, right?
Seeing that Meng Shaoguang's eyes dimmed, the sixth prince coughed and replied: "This kind of thing naturally has to be natural." At this moment, he decided not to let Shang Xue drink those decoctions after he went back, well, in fact, it is not bad to have a child now. Soft and glutinous ......
Meng Shaoguang thought about it, and he no longer dwelled on this problem, but just now when he thought that Xiao Chuyang couldn't hold it now, his whole heart was like a cat's paw scratching, and he really wanted to hug it!
The sixth prince didn't bother her when he saw Meng Shaoguang's distraction, today he sent Shang Xue back to the Chiyang Marquis Mansion and then came to King An's Mansion, and made up his mind to stay until the evening to have a meal and then pick up Shang Xue back, so he also followed.
