Chapter 54: Are You Loyal to Me?

Mo Jinjun followed the soldiers to the door of a warehouse in the backyard, and the door opened, revealing a pile of messy things inside.

But when the soldiers disliked the bricks on the ground, Mo Jinjun was stunned. These civil servants are really going to hide money.

The floor tiles of the whole storehouse were full of silver, and not one floor, but three whole floors, and gradually estimated to be no less than 300,000 taels.

There are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in the house of a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, which is a big corruption case.

However, after the soldiers finished counting, Mo Jinjun was even more shocked.

In the treasury of this waiter of the Ministry of Rites, there were 450,000 taels of silver, not including the precious calligraphy and paintings and some antiques that came to mind.

Mo Jinjun immediately sent all the silver to the palace.

Subsequently, move on to the next one.

Before the news of the beheading of this servant of the Ministry of Rites had not yet spread, the soldiers of Mo Jin's army were constantly blocked in the north of the city.

Mo Jinjun went on a killing spree, beheaded five more officials, and found that the silver taels added up to two million taels.

This time, the news couldn't hold on. When many families saw Mo Jinjun's soldiers coming, they directly opened the door and asked him to lead people to search.

After searching like this for a whole day, seeing that the imperial city was getting closer and closer, and the official position of the owner of the mansion was getting higher and higher, even Mo Jinjun felt the pressure.

However, thinking of the content of the emperor's letter, Mo Jinjun asked the soldiers to go back to eat, transfer another batch and continue the search.

The next one is the home of Zheng Yechuan, the minister of the Administration Department, Zheng Yechuan's house at this time, the door is open, Zheng Yechuan stands in front of the door with a group of people, and looks at Mo Jinjun who came on horseback lightly.

"Lord Zheng, I will be ordered by the emperor to search for the murderer of Lord Lin, and I also ask my lord to make it convenient, so as not to disturb the family with these vulgar embryos under this general."

Zheng Yechuan snorted coldly and said, "Since it is ordered by the emperor, this official will cooperate." But you can search the front yard, not the back yard. ”

"Master Zheng, you are embarrassing the general!"

"Bastard thing. Which green onion are you? This official needs to embarrass you, even if the emperor is in person, this official dares to say so. ”

Zheng Yechuan's stern reprimand made Mo Jinjun quite embarrassed.

Zheng Yechuan is the minister of the administrative department, although he is not in charge of the military department, but one of those officials who preside over the affairs of the whole country is high-minded, and there is absolutely no problem in scolding him as a deputy general in ordinary times.

It was his original boss Han Zhongwei, and the four ministers of the Administration Department reprimanded him.

However, not today. Mo Jinjun is under the emperor's order, even when he sees those people from the royal family, he dares to go back with confidence.

"Then Lord Zheng will go and tell the emperor that what he should have done is still to be done." After Mo Jinjun finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed towards the gate of the Zheng Mansion.

"Dare to do this, this official will enter the palace to play the emperor, and you will be charged with arson." Zheng Yechuan's face turned red, and he pointed at Mo Jinjun and scolded.

"Master Zheng went on his own. The emperor also ordered that if the mansion of Lord Zheng was searched and Lord Zheng was dissatisfied, he would wait for Lord Zheng to enter the palace in person. ”

"Good, good. We'll see. Zheng Yechuan was angry, and he didn't prepare, so he just walked away.

His family hurriedly followed, and his entourage hurriedly turned back to carry the sedan chair.

When Mo Jinjun saw Zheng Yechuan leave, after leaving a team of soldiers, he didn't search Zheng Yechuan's mansion, but went to another house.

Zheng Yechuan came to the palace gate angrily all the way, just in time for the palace gate to be locked. The guards had already received the emperor's instructions, and when they saw Zheng Yechuan standing at the gate of the palace angrily, they went in to report it.

In fact, when Zheng Yechuan saw that the palace gate was locked, he knew that he would definitely not see the emperor today, and he stood at the palace gate with a puffing appearance just to make a statement, and carefully thought about how to join the arrogant military general tomorrow.

However, to his surprise, the emperor agreed to see him.

For him, the emperor actually broke the lock time of the palace gate that had not changed for hundreds of years, and at this moment, Zheng Yechuan was a little excited.

All the way to Chongning Palace, Zheng Yechuan saw the emperor.

Today's emperor looks very different, and Zheng Yechuan couldn't say what the difference was.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor!"

"Flat. Aiqing entered the palace at this time, but there was something important? Liang Jia asked.

"Your Majesty, the city defense battalion ......"

Before Zheng Yechuan could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Liang Jia.

Liang Jia patted his forehead, looking like he suddenly realized, as if he remembered something extremely important.

"Looking at my brain, I almost forgot a big thing. I allowed you to come in today when the palace gate was locked, because I had something important to discuss with Zheng Aiqing. Aiqing came forward, and I will tell you in detail. ”

Zheng Yechuan was helpless, so he had to wait for the emperor to finish talking about his business, and then talk about his own business.

However, when the emperor said the right thing, Zheng Yechuan felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest with a heavy hammer, how could he still remember his own affairs.

"Your Majesty, this move must not be!" Zheng Yechuan solemnly knelt on the ground and knocked on the prime minister's advice.

"Competing with the people?" Liang Jia sneered.

"The minister did not dare to say that if this matter was carried out, it would cause greater turmoil. First of all, the world's scholars will not agree. Thousands of scholars do not agree, and the imperial court will lose its roots. ”

"I don't believe it anymore, are there many scholars in this world, or are there many ordinary people? As long as I, the common people, Daliang, agree, what's the use of the scholars opposing it? ”

"No, never!" Zheng Yechuan still spoke out to dissuade him.

Zheng Yechuan can naturally say a thousand reasons to oppose Liang Jia's idea, but the little emperor in front of him has not received any teaching from the court, and the Queen Mother taught him a few words earlier, Zheng Yechuan felt that his tirade would definitely have no effect, so he could only forcibly stop it.

"Alright, you don't have to kowtow, I'll think about it again. One more thing. ”

"Your Majesty, please speak." Zheng Yechuan's expression was relieved, and the whole person almost fell to the ground. If the tax reform that the emperor said just now is implemented, and he Zheng Yechuan is in charge of the household department, he will be scolded by the world's soldiers one by one, and he will not die well.

"How's the preparation for moving the capital?"

"The warehouses of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Industry have been packed, and the prisoners of the Criminal Department are being registered separately and are preparing to be moved to different places for detention. Because there are too many duties on the military department, almost half of them are ready now. Most of the other yamen are personnel placement, and there is no big problem. Now the most important thing is how to place the things in the palace? ”

"I will arrange people here in the palace, and Zheng Aiqing will be responsible for the outside scheduling."

"Yes. Your Majesty, the minister entered the palace today......"

Liang Jia interrupted him again and asked, "Zheng Aiqing, I have something unclear and want Aiqing to solve my doubts." ”

Zheng Yechuan sighed and asked helplessly, "I don't know if the emperor has any doubts?" ”

"Zheng Aiqing, are you loyal to the power in your hands, or are you loyal to me?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Zheng Yechuan was stunned. What is the problem, the emperor is going to attack me?
