Chapter 81: The court was shocked
Every time the court asked the officials to discuss the issue, in the end, the Taihe Hall would evolve into a large-scale quarrel scene, and Emperor Xiao had a headache about it.
"Li Aiqing must have her own ideas."
Xiao Huang noticed that Li Yingzhi did not participate in the quarrel just now.
"Back to Your Majesty, I think there is still a place suitable for holding the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting."
Li Ying knew that it would cause a quarrel before he went to court, and he had already thought of countermeasures in his heart.
"Oh? Where? ”
There are only a few places where the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala has been held, and Xiao Huang didn't expect any good places.
"Your Majesty, the Jinghu Villa, which was completed last month, is suitable for hosting this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting."
Since it was only completed last month, not many people have noticed the Jinghu Villa.
"Kong Aiqing, can Jinghu Pavilion hold this Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting?"
Kong Mingdeng is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and is in charge of the affairs of tuntian, water conservancy, civil engineering, engineering, transportation, and government-run industries across the country.
Jinghu Villa, located in the northeast of the capital, was specially built by Emperor Xiao for the Empress Dowager's recuperation, which began three years ago and was not completed until last month.
The construction of this kind of amusement building will definitely be opposed by many officials, but because Xiao Huang said that he is using the treasury of the inner treasury, it has not encountered much resistance.
However, in addition to providing the land of the annex, Emperor Xiao did not need to do anything else, the recruitment and construction of workers were responsible for the Ministry of Industry, and the materials and wages for the construction were all given by the Xin family.
It can be said that the inner treasury of the palace did not need to pay a penny, and got a luxurious manor, and no one objected to it now.
"Your Majesty, all the projects of Jinghu Pavilion have been completed and can be used as the host of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting."
As a construction maniac, Kong Mingdeng has full confidence in the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting held in the Jinghu Villa, which he supervised and built.
"Can the Queen Mother move in?"
The original intention of the construction of Jinghu Villa was to give the Queen Mother a beautiful place to recuperate, and the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club was secondary.
"Your Majesty, all the facilities in the Jinghu Pavilion have been built, and the flowers and plants that should be planted have also been planted, and the Queen Mother can move in at any time."
Kong Mingdeng replied affirmatively.
Before the Jinghu Pavilion was completed, he had already begun to plant flowers and trees in it, and when it was built, the trees and flowers were already alive, and some flowers had already bloomed.
"Good! Good! Good! ”
Xiao Huang's mood was jealous, and he said three good things in a row, and the headache caused by the quarrel between the officials had disappeared.
"Will the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting affect the Queen Mother's stay in Jinghu Villa?"
This is also what Emperor Xiao is worried about, if it affects the Queen Mother's stay, then the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting will not be held inside.
"Your Majesty, it won't affect you."
"Okay, then it's time to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting in Jinghu Villa."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
The Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting was held in Emperor Xiao's territory, and the officials had nothing to say.
"Your Majesty, the reward for the winners......"
The venue has been decided, but the reward has not yet been decided, Li Yingzhi asked again.
"The reward will be the same."
is just a Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting, and Emperor Xiao doesn't want to think of any special rewards for it.
"Li Aiqing is directly responsible for the relevant matters of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, and there is no need to find others."
A venue can make officials noisy, not to mention the matter of the person in charge, Xiao Huang directly made a final decision, so as not to turn the court into a market.
"Obey the order!"
Li Yingzhi also knew that this errand was going to fall on his head, and he was not surprised at all.
However, the officials in the court did not react at once, so they let such a good errand fall on Li Yingzhi's head, and it was too late to speak.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
After arranging the affairs of the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting, Xiao Huang looked at the officials in the audience and asked.
None of the officials in the court reacted, and stood still in place.
"Since everyone has nothing to play, where is Shen Jingbing, the young secretary of Dali Temple!"
Seeing that there was nothing to do with the hundred officials, Xiao Huang suddenly shouted Shen Jingbing in a louder tone, thinking that he had committed something, and there were joys in his heart, and there were also pity for Shen Jingbing, after all, he was a good official who did things conscientiously.
"The minister is here!"
Shen Jingbing stood up from the ranks and said very confidently, he knew what Emperor Xiao named himself for.
"How did you do with the things I gave you?"
Emperor Xiao didn't seem to be in a good mood and asked Shen Jingbing, which made the other officials affirm their thoughts even more, Shen Jingbing was not doing things well, and he was going to be scolded by Emperor Xiao.
"Your Majesty, the minister has done it!"
Shen Jingbing said with great certainty.
"It's done, just say it, let the officials present listen, what have you found!"
Emperor Xiao's tone was already quite unkind, some of the officials knew that Emperor Xiao was warning the officials, and they were a little worried, and some officials thought that Emperor Xiao was angry with Shen Jingbing, and they were secretly happy in their hearts.
Shen Jingbing took out a piece of paper from his belt, and the words on it were densely written,
"Your Majesty, the ministers have investigated a total of fifteen officials who have gone south to inspect in the past ten years, of which nine are still in the court, and seven have been deposed or returned to their hometowns.
Among all the officials who went south as a Qincha, only three did not accept bribes, namely Master Situ Shangshu, Master Dong Taishi and Master Guo Weiguo, and the rest of the officials accepted bribes.
Among them, Xu Cai and Xu Shangshu went south seven times, accepting bribes totaling more than 14,000 taels of silver, three real estates, and more than 200 pieces of gold, silver and jewelry, which is the most among all officials.
Yuan Chang, the former secretary of the ministry, went south five times, and accumulated more than 12,000 taels of bribes and more than 100 pieces of gold, silver and jewelry.
Master Shangshu Zuocheng Cai Bicai went south four times and accepted bribes of more than 12,000 taels and more than 100 pieces of gold, silver and jewelry
Liu Qiuliu, the right attendant of the ministry, went south four times and accepted bribes of more than 10,000 taels and more than 30 pieces of gold, silver and jewelry.
‘’‘’‘’
Lord Hu Tuhu, the right attendant of the household department, once went south and accepted bribes of more than 1,000 vehicles and five pieces of gold, silver and jewelry. ”
As soon as Shen Jingbing started to read, the officials present knew that something was wrong, and after reading it, everyone was dumbfounded.
No one knows when Shen Jingbing started the investigation, and no one knows how Shen Jingbing knew such detailed data.
"What else is there to do?"
Xiao Huang's face was already red with anger, and his voice was terrible.
"Your Majesty, the assassination of Situ Nei Lang in the middle of the night, the culprit is Zhou Bangchang, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, Lord Zhou......"
"Shen Jingbing, you don't want to accompany people with blood, how could this official assassinate Situ Nei Shilang late at night!"
Before Shen Jingbing finished speaking, Zhou Bangchang couldn't stand still and refuted Shen Jingbing loudly.
"Shut up! Get out of the way! There's no way you can speak! ”
Seeing that Shen Jingbing's words were interrupted, Emperor Xiao reprimanded Zhou Bangchang.
Shen Shaoqing continued!
"Situ Nei Shilang was stabbed late at night, and it was the command of Lord Zhou Bangchang, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials,
Lord Zhou was dissatisfied with Situ Nei's teacher, that is, Dong Taishi concurrently served as the secretary of the ministry, and was dissatisfied with Situ Nei's servant riding above him.
Therefore, on the fifteenth night of last month, the gangster Nanmen Tiger who bought the capital was intercepted and killed on the way back to Situ Mansion in Wenyingge, and Situ Nei Lang was fortunately rescued by a chivalrous man named Ouyang Kai. ”
Astound! Shocking!
All the officials opened their mouths wide, completely unable to believe that Zhou Bangchang would dare to do such a thing.
When did Emperor Xiao ask Shen Jingbing to investigate these two things!
