Chapter 412: Grievances are beaten
After the Dragon Boat Festival, there was a big incident in the capital, and the bones were shocked in the backyard of the Hubu Shangshu, which caused a sensation to all the people, why did something happen in the backyard of the Hubu Shangshu's house, and the outsiders who would get it also knew, according to the reason, shouldn't this matter be hidden?
Who knows, in one night, corpses appeared in the backyard of the Cheng family, and in the early morning, the officers and soldiers of Dali Temple came to knock on the door, and it is said that someone reported that the Cheng family killed people and buried the corpse.
God knows, when the people of the Cheng family went to Dali Temple to report, but they couldn't hinder the official errand, even if Cheng Yangling personally went to stop it, he didn't stop it, broke in, and the Cheng family's crimes were made public.
After that, Cheng Yangling was sent to the prison, and under severe punishment, he couldn't hide anything. It turns out that although Cheng Yangling has all children, he has a problem, that is, he is lustful, and he is not a good woman, but a good man. His personal servant is also his secret lover.
It's just that Cheng Yangling is still dissatisfied with this, once, he met a handsome man on the road, he didn't know his name and identity, and took the person back, but the man would rather beg for death than obey, and in the end, the body could not be disposed of, so it could only be buried in the backyard.
Five or six years later, the man's matter was made public, and everyone in the capital was shocked, but they didn't expect that the dignified Hubu Shangshu turned out to be such a murderer, and the man, according to the buried ornaments of the year, finally had relatives to recognize, but it turned out to be the son of a merchant in the capital, and the whole merchant family cried bitterly.
After this matter was ascertained, Jin Duo issued an order to deal with it strictly. Cheng Yang Ling was relieved of his position as the head of the household department and sentenced to death. After that, the head of the household was replaced, and Jin Shuichen took the opportunity to install his subordinates, and the head of the household was arrested.
Jin Shuichen thoroughly checked the accounts of the household department, and after finding out, the Manchu Dynasty was furious, it turned out that there were only 100,000 taels of cash in the household department, and there were even IOUs made by the yamen everywhere, which was simply unreasonable.
After the Tobe Shangshu was investigated. Jin Duo organized a picket team composed of officials and students from Guozijian. They were sent to various places to investigate and handle the accounts of previous years, and if they were wrong, the officials were dismissed on the spot. Escorted back to the capital by the army. Property confiscation. Replenish the treasury.
Under such vigorous and resolute action, hundreds of officials are in danger, and they no longer dare to want to lose money. Hurriedly plugged the hole in the void. However, they didn't expect that this time Jin Duo made up his mind to leave only a small part of the silver money in each province as daily expenses, and the rest was all shipped to the capital.
Moreover, each county sent a student from the Guozijian as an inspector, and if he found the act of looting the people's fat and people's ointment, he could immediately write to the emperor, and there was no need to approve it layer by layer, and for a while, the officials were all cautious.
Under such circumstances, the household department miraculously gathered five million taels of silver, which is simply unimaginable, but for Jin Shuichen, this is far from enough. However, there are still people who are worried about such a little bit of silver.
The crown prince Jin Shuichen is in charge of the household department, which is equivalent to being in charge of Yonghe's money bag, so the princes who have thoughts have written one after another, willing to share the hardships for their royal brothers, and they want to fight for the household department one by one.
For Jin Shuichen, Jin Duo trusts him very much, this son is not only capable, but also courageous, and he is a king. The most important thing is that he is the child of himself and the queen, and he is destined to become the emperor.
Compared with the crown prince, the other princes seem to be inactive, if they are just inactive, it will be okay, but they still think about things that do not belong to them. Now that they are strong and strong, they are thinking about fighting for power, and they may become an obstacle to the prince in the future.
Moreover, more importantly, now their enemies are the princes who are eyeing each other, when do they still have the mind to fight internally, this time the battle for the household department made Jin Duo understand that the children are older and their minds are bigger, if they want to stop them and avoid brothers from fighting, there is only one way.
Half a month later, when the weather gradually became hotter, a holy decree was promulgated, and it was thrown out like a thunderbolt in an instant, and he was crowned king. Several princes, whether they are old or young, are all crowned kings, and what is even more surprising is that the fief of this king is very small, even the size of only one county town, and it is mostly barren land, and this king's fief is too pitiful, and it is even better to stay in the capital.
"Your Majesty, Ao'er is still young, it's too early to be crowned king now, Your Majesty."
Xing Cailing cried in front of Jin Duo, Jin Shuiao is only thirteen years old this year, and he is going to marry a fief after he is crowned king, and since then, if the mother and son still want to meet, it will be difficult. Therefore, Xing Cailing is begging hard at this moment, just to let the child stay by her side for a few more years.
"At the age of thirteen, I was already King An back then, my mother died early, and she was doing well, and now Ao'er is old enough, it's time to be a man."
Jin Duo didn't want to do this either, but the concubines of these harems, the supporters of these princes, and even their maternal grandparents pushed things to such a situation. He also hoped that the princes would be able to share their shares in peace, but they couldn't do it, so he had to be ruthless.
Recently, the fourth princess Jin Shuiqin is not in a high mood, because her maternal ancestor is Cheng Yangling, and under the influence of the Cheng family, her mother concubine was also grounded again, which made Jin Shuiqin, who has always been arrogant, become cautious.
However, just because she doesn't mess with things doesn't mean that things don't mess with her, there are many concubines and beauties in the palace, and there are always one or two who like to cause trouble, or are in a bad mood. Xing Cailing walked on the road and saw Jin Shuiqin from a distance, as if something was ignited in his heart, and he walked towards Jin Shuiqin angrily.
"Mother, mother!" Jin Shuiqin looked at Xing Cailing and was a little scared.
Smack, a slap slapped Jin Shuiqin in the face, Jin Shuiqin looked at Xing Cailing in front of her in disbelief, how dare she, she is a princess, a princess beloved by her father, isn't she afraid to sue herself?
But Jin Shuiqin was wrong, after all, Xing Cailing in front of her now felt that her life was going to be ruined, and the emperor had offended her, and she didn't want to be a princess.
"It's all your fault, if it weren't for the Cheng family's indiscretion, if it wasn't for the prince who controlled the household, how could it be, it triggered the competition among the princes, and my Ao'er, how could it be involved."
Xing Cailing is really innocent, after all, Jin Shuiao is only thirteen years old, and Xing Duruo is an old fox who has never supported Jin Shuiao, so this time he was purely affected.
Jin Shuiqin is also very aggrieved, she is obviously angry, she has the courage, why don't she fight those princes who cause trouble, it's not because she is a princess, and she is still a princess who has lost power, so she dares to deal with herself so blatantly. Jin Shuiqin quit, and the frightened heart accumulated during this time made her make a bold move and ran in front of the emperor. (To be continued.) )
