Chapter 371: Old Case

Sima Hong looked at Su Jin, who was stimulated by his words, and his face turned from black to purple, but he showed no trace of pride. Instead, he said with a look of three points of frustration and seven points of unwillingness on his face: "Lao Yu is the last champion of the Ming Arithmetic Department in the Sejong Dynasty, and he is naturally proficient in the art of Ming Arithmetic. And those who are proficient in the art of arithmetic, do you say that the calculation will be bad?"

"If the old man really steals and sells the things used by the emperor, how can he be caught by you, a nerd who has not been out of the capital for many years? You're less amorous there. Today, the old decay will tell you clearly. The old man was unlucky, because in the position of the capital supervisor of Junyao, he first offended the prince because of the reform of Junyao. ”

Later, he couldn't help himself, and he was unlucky when he was involved in the open and secret battle between the prince and King Jing. It's completely different from the Ministry of Works officials who were brought down by you, okay. And those officials of the Ministry of Industry are actually not involved in you. It fell into the hands of King Jing, because the Ministry of Industry has always been controlled by the prince's party, and it is the prince's earliest money bag. ”

"The rest of the kings have long been blind, and they have been trying to find trouble with the Ministry of Works. happened to encounter the theft and sale of imperial porcelain in Jun Yao, and was caught by King Jing, and shot together with King Rui, so that the original Shangshu and two waiters from the Ministry of Works, together with more than 40 officials below, were dismissed and locked. ”

Regarding the quarrel between the two, Huang Qiong didn't pay attention to it. Instead, he sat there and listened quietly, until Sima Hong lifted up the real situation of the case that year, and his eyebrows moved slightly. Five years ago, a public case actually involved a grievance between the prince and King Jing and King Rui, which Huang Qiong did not expect.

Junzhou, where Junyao is located, is now under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou Prefecture. With King Jing's person, after taking over Zhengzhou, it would be abnormal not to interfere with the Jun kiln that was making money every day. However, the five-year prospect king has actually been controlled by the king of Shu. In other words, the case back then may not have really been done by King Jing. The person who made the shot was most likely the King of Shu behind him.

As for King Jing, he just became the backstabber of this matter. And provoked a fight between others, and sat on the side to collect profits, which is also like the consistent style of the King of Shu that he has come into contact with since he sent troops to quell the rebellion. However, the theft and sale of royal goods is a dead word according to the laws of this dynasty. This person can live until now, there should be someone behind him to protect him.

However, if an official can be saved from such a big case, and it is very likely that an official at the center of the whirlpool, this person should not be an ordinary person. You must know that as the capital eunuch of Jun Yao, Jun Yao has stolen and sold royal goods, and his crime as a capital eunuch cannot be smaller than others. Even if he didn't participate, a crime of failure to investigate was enough for him to lose his head.

Although this person's current situation is not very good, he is still alive, which is enough to show that it is not ordinary to protect him secretly. Otherwise, even the Ministry of Industry Shangshu would have fallen, but he would not have a major deal with a five-grade prison. Sima Hong was unlucky because of something, to be honest, Huang Qiong didn't have much interest. But Huang Qiong is very interested in who is the person behind him.

And the subtle change in the expression on Huang Qiong's face, although Su Jin, who was busy arguing with Sima Hong, did not notice it. But Sima Hong, who is obviously much more cunning and cunning, sees it in his eyes. Thinking of this young prince, he went on a killing spree in Zhengzhou Mansion and cut off the heads of more than 100 people in one go. If you count the minions of King Jing's Mansion, there are two hundred people.

Even the son of Princess Xincai, who is also his cousin, was killed. And the prefect of Su in front of him, before he was transferred to the prefect of Zhengzhou, was the long history of his British Mansion. It also shows that this Su prefect is his person who is the king. Isn't looking for Su Jin's stubble here the same as looking for his stubble? Thinking of this, Sima Hong immediately closed his mouth very wisely.

Seeing Sima Hong close his mouth, Su Jin over there was choked by Sima Hong's previous words and couldn't speak for a while, and the quarrel between the two finally came to an end. Huang Qiong smiled faintly and said to Sima Hong: "I just heard Mr. Sima's words, and there is something else hidden in the case back then. I don't know if Mr. Sima can talk to this king in detail, if there is really a grievance, this king can also represent it for you. ”

As soon as Huang Qiong finished saying this, Sima Hong not only did not show gratitude, but his face turned a little pale. There was silence for a long time before he sighed and said, "Avengery? The old decay has long since lost that mind. As long as the crown prince reigns for one day, there is no place to complain about the injustice of the old decay. The King of England, you are guilty of offending the prince for the sake of an old man who has dismissed an official. ”

"At that time, the old man was edicted, and as a member of the royal division of the Ministry of Industry, he was transferred to the capital supervisor of Junyao. originally thought that he would finally be able to show his strength when he got a chance to be released. didn't expect that before he took office, he was already involved in a battle. The reason why I was able to hold this position was that in addition to the Water Supervision Department of the Ministry of Industry of the Great Qi Dynasty, the fattest shortage was the result of calculation. ”

"I was not the confidant of the Ministry of Industry at that time, and it can even be said that in the Ministry of Industry, which is controlled by the prince's sworn party, I, a small five-grade member of the Ministry of Industry, am an alternative. My appointment as the Metropolitan Supervisor was a compromise in a fierce battle behind the scenes. Later, I learned that the predecessor I replaced was the prince's confidant. ”

"There are two responsibilities in Junzhou, one is to make money and honor the prince, and the other is to monitor King Jing, who is close to Junzhou. The transfer of the capital eunuch was not a heavy loss for the crown prince. In the end, I, the successor who was chosen because I never took sides, became the target of the prince's rectification. And King Jing, who failed to install a henchman, was extremely unwilling to see me. ”

"Originally, I was in the Imperial Division, although I also had to be affected by the eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Service on weekdays, but my small life was quite nourishing. Moreover, the royal secretary is in charge of the supervision of various royal utensils on weekdays, which can be regarded as a fat shortage. Although I have never stood in line, some people are afraid that I will make trouble, so I should have everything. ”

I thought that after being transferred to the Junyao Metropolitan Supervisor, which was regarded as the top three in the Ministry of Industry, the two-year term of office became a nightmare. Jun kiln is different from the semi-government-run and semi-private-run kilns, which are specialized in the kiln for firing imperial porcelain, and the porcelain produced by the rest of the kilns is allowed to be sold. ”

"It was first managed by the Imperial Supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Service, and later because there were too many drawbacks, it was assigned to the Ministry of Industry during the reign of Xuanzong. The porcelain produced by the Jun kiln is praised by the king of Guilin as the rain and the clouds are broken, and this color is the future, and it is called like jade, non-jade, and the Ru porcelain that wins the jade is compared with the glaze with five colors, gorgeous and unique. ”

"There is a magical kiln change that enters the kiln and goes out of the kiln. It has always been famous all over the world for its endless changes in graphic colors such as lakes and mountains, clouds and fog, people, beasts, flowers, birds, fish and insects, as well as wonderful charm. As the saying goes, rare things are expensive, and the rarer the things on the market, the higher the value. ”

"Jun porcelain is worth a thousand gold, in addition to itself because it is the royal porcelain, the folk circulation is very rare, Jun porcelain is difficult to fire is also the main reason. Hundreds of porcelain into the kiln, the finished product is only about thirty percent. The two reasons are combined, so there is a saying that gold is priceless and priceless. In the foreign and northern Liao, Jun porcelain is a rare treasure. ”

"Because of this, Jun porcelain and the Tieguanyin tea produced by the Guilin County Mansion have always been the most luxurious items in our dynasty. Not to mention the homes of ordinary people, it is those official eunuchs and princely families, unless they reach a certain level, they have been rewarded by the emperors of the past dynasties, otherwise it is rare to see. It is precisely because Jun porcelain is expensive that there is a holy oracle of Xuanzong of the former Tang Dynasty and Gaozong of this dynasty who are not buried with him. ”

This Jun porcelain is worth 10,000 gold, and it will naturally attract the peeps of many powerful people. Soon after I took office, I discovered that some people had the audacity to open private kilns around official kilns, and they were able to enlist potters to make porcelain for them. And these privately made porcelain, whether it is the process or appearance, is exactly the same as the official kiln firing, and even the seal of the imperial superintendent is available. ”

"The only difference is that the text submitted by so-and-so is missing. You must know that there are two kinds of royal porcelain, one is directly engraved with the royal supervisor plus the year name, and most of this kind of porcelain is a small object. In order to ensure that the quality of those large objects is sufficient, there are generally two paragraphs, in addition to the money of the royal prison, there is also the money presented by so-and-so. ”

"Jun kiln for the Son of Heaven imperial kiln, the porcelain produced has always been used in the palace, other people, regardless of whether the status of the noble or not, without the imperial gift to use without authorization, that is a great sin. Moreover, because the Jun kiln is a royal kiln, the strictness of the inspection is not inferior to that of the imperial tomb. If someone else opens a kiln without authorization, once discovered, the light one will be exiled, and the heavy one will be beheaded. ”

At that time, some people actually opened the kiln without authorization under the nose of the official kiln, and even went to the point of enslaving the official kiln kiln workers to burn porcelain for them. If this reaches the palace, will my whole family's head be gone? What's more, Jun Yao is on the territory of Zhengzhou Mansion. And Zhengzhou Mansion is the territory of King Jing, and I can only be cautious when I don't know the identities of these private kiln owners. ”

"Originally, I thought that although I couldn't check by name, as long as I put my mind to it, the secret investigation would be the same. As a result, I didn't expect that I couldn't check it after only one beginning. Because I've been in office for less than three months, I've effectively been put on the back burner. Except for a concubine who served the daily life, there was not even a single person available. ”

"The real power has fallen into the hands of the eunuchs and deputy eunuchs, and the old eunuchs have become ornaments in their hands. Even when I took over, the ledgers they handed over were simply fake. The eunuch who supervised the creation turned out to be the inner order of the prince's side. The deputy governor was the nephew of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry at the time, and he was transferred from the director of the Ministry of Industry. ”

"The old man was originally a mediocre result, and there was no strong backstage behind him, so the two of them naturally didn't want to see him. The two of them acted in an embarrassed manner, deceived their superiors and subordinates, not only wantonly deducted the money and grain of the kiln workers, but also opened the kiln to burn Jun porcelain without permission. Sixty percent of the private kilns around the official kilns are set up by them. Firing Jun porcelain is sold privately for profit. ”

Although they were hollowed out, the old man was not reconciled. Fortunately, they don't rush to kill everything, as long as I am honest and obedient, I promise the benefits of 100,000 a year. According to the season, from time to time, he gave some so-called Bing Jing and Tan Jing, trying to buy the old decay and convict them when necessary. After all, if you open the imperial kiln privately, once you are discovered, it will be a death. ”

"Especially in Zhengzhou, where King Jing has already taken up the domain and is only more than 100 miles away from Junzhou, they need to find a scapegoat. No one knows if King Jing will interfere in Junyao. After all, there are some princes who are greedy and known all over the world. And the old man, who has no backstage, has become the most suitable candidate in their eyes. ”

The old decay took advantage of their hearts, on the one hand, they were vain and wronged, and on the other hand, they secretly visited. The old man knew that they were so righteous, even above board, that there would definitely be a guard of honor behind them. They are all people elected by the prince's side, and I am afraid that there will be no one else besides the prince. In other words, this matter will definitely involve the crown prince. ”
