Chapter 1121: Mixed Blessings
Lin Haoran has done a lot of work in advance to impeach Gao Yao this time, and he has predicted the development of the situation.
It's just that the real decision of the matter is in Jiajing's hands, and Jiajing did not accept the charge of "provoking royal disputes", and it is possible that he does not believe the accusation of "greedy ink".
Fortunately, things didn't go in the worst direction. Although Jiajing hopes to have a household secretary like Gao Yao, and also has the intention of shielding him, he cannot tolerate the behavior of greedy ink.
Facing Jiajing's inquiry, Lin Haoran replied honestly: "Emperor Qi, this matter is true!" There is information to check this data, and the difference between it and the actual data will not exceed 50,000 stones, presumably Gao Shangshu knows this very well! ”
In the end, he glanced at Gao Yao next to him again, and he already wanted to hand over the question to Gao Yao.
"The emperor is clear, if Weichen is greedy for ink and money, he is willing to be hit by five thunders from the sky!" Gao Yao's face was full of grievances, and he raised the three fingers of his right hand and pointed to the sky and swore an oath.
Lin Haoran was not surprised at all when he heard this oath, but his face had always maintained an appropriate amount of anger, and at the same time, he looked like he believed that Gao Yao was the most heinous person.
Jiajing is not an emotional person, he is more inclined to be rational in doing things, and he is still very suspicious, so he will naturally not believe that Gao Yao is really innocent because of an oath.
His face remained calm, but he asked Gao Yao lightly: "Gao Aiqing, is it true that the Lu rice of the Zong Clan has deducted 1.5 million Shi Lu rice more than in previous years?" ”
Although he had long known that Gao Yao intended to detain the sect's Lu rice, he had always chosen to pretend to be confused, so naturally he would not know the specific amount, and he could only guess that the amount was indeed not small.
It's just that facing the figure of 1.5 million stones, it also makes Jiajing secretly frightened. You must know that the rice grain transported to the capital every year is only about 4 million stones, and Gao Yao actually intercepted 1.5 million stones.
It was then that he understood more clearly why he felt more on his hands in recent years. It was not that he chose the right Hubu Shangshu, and Daming's finances did not improve substantially, all because he took an extra 1.5 million Shilu rice from the clan.
Originally, I thought that Lin Haoran's accusation just now was an exaggeration, but if such a diversion was intercepted, I am afraid that sooner or later there would be chaos on the side of the sect, and it would even really cause disputes within the royal family.
"Wechen didn't ...... Statistical, but estimated...... Not much difference! Gao Yao seemed to be stumped, and finally admitted honestly.
When Huang Jin and the others heard Gao Yao's confession, they sighed lightly in their hearts and shook their heads gently. It is all an illusion to dare to love that this Hubu Shangshu is good at financial management, but he is just boldly intercepting the rice of the sect.
"Where did all the silver go? You brought me the truth! Jiajing's accumulated anger suddenly erupted, and he threw the ledger in his hand at Gao Yao and asked angrily.
In the past few decades, he has been able to firmly grasp the Ming Dynasty politics. In addition to personally interfering with the appointment and dismissal of important personnel, this finance is also quite experienced, at least the arithmetic is still good.
At present, Daming has increased its income everywhere, especially the increase of 1.5 million Shilu rice, which is enough to do a lot of things. It's just a report card given by the household department, but it is only a project cost of more than 300,000 taels.
Even if it was him, he was unwilling to ask: Where did the silver two flowers go?
Bang!
The ledger first slammed heavily on the ground, reverberating crisply in the palace, and after the ledger landed on the smooth ground, it just happened to slide in front of Gao Yao.
In the face of Jiajing's raging anger, the entire hall seemed to be smelling a needle, and no one dared to touch Jiajing's moldy head here, unless he really didn't want to live.
"Weichen is wronged, please let the emperor know it!"
Gao Yao faced Jiajing's anger and the account book that slid in front of him, and hurriedly avenged his grievances. But I don't know if he was frightened, or if he showed his true feelings, or if there was a performance component, two lines of tears fell from his cheeks.
Lin Haoran knew that Gao Yao was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but he didn't mean to stop, but added another fire and said: "Your Majesty, since Gao Shangshu can't explain it clearly, please also order to check the account books of the household department and give an explanation to the people of the world!" ”
You......
Gao Yao bowed his head to the ground, hoping that the saint would look at him for his pitiful sake, and choose to believe that he was wronged. At the moment, facing Lin Haoran's pressing step by step, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart.
A few days ago, he was thinking about killing this shit kid, and it was as easy as pinching an ant to death. It's just that things changed too quickly, and they were easily resolved by this kid.
Before entering this palace, he thought that he was generous enough to let the other party go. It's just that he didn't expect that the other party's counterattack would come so quickly and ferociously that it almost cost him his life.
Deducting the clan's Lu Mi was originally his "way of survival", but now it was easily exposed by this kid, and he took the opportunity to pour dirty water on him.
The current situation is getting worse and worse, if it weren't for Xu Jie's ally, he would even have to be planted in the hands of this kid.
Jiajing faced Lin Haoran's petition, but did not answer directly, but turned his head to look at Xu Jie, who had a solemn face, and asked, "Elder Xu Ge, what do you say?" ”
Hey?
Lin Haoran originally thought that Jiajing would ask Yan Song, but he didn't want to go over Yan Song directly, but instead asked Xu Jie's opinion. It's just that I don't know if this is the emperor's mental trick, or if Yan Song has really fallen out of favor.
Gao Yao looked at Xu Jie pitifully as if he had caught a life-saving grass.
"The minister agreed with Lin Fuyin's proposal and ordered to check the account books of the household department!" Xu Jie ignored Gao Yao's gaze, but said with a righteous face to Jiajing's gaze.
Jiajing nodded lightly and said, "Elder Xu Ge, then I will leave it to you and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to conduct an inspection!" ”
"Obey the order!" Xu Jie's face looked ancient, and he bowed his hand in a proper manner.
"I'm tired, all of you stand down!" Jiajing yawned and raised his hand tiredly.
"Wechen retires!"
Gao Yao saluted honestly, but his heart was mixed.
Although he didn't do anything greedy for ink, and this investigation was led by Xu Jie, he felt a great uneasiness in his heart, and he always felt that he was being targeted by a small poisonous snake.
"Wechen retires!"
Lin Haoran also saluted in a proper manner, but there was not much joy in his heart. Although things went on as he expected, the investigation team was not presided over by Yan Song, but led by Xu Jie, and there was no doubt that there were great variables in the matter.
Out of courtesy, even if Xu Jie and Gao Yao were already at the forefront, he obediently fell behind, and took the initiative to help Yan Song out of the hall together.
"If you are foolish, if you have to be free, come and sit with me!"
Yan Song was so old that he only had a pair of bones left, and when he walked down the steps, he took the initiative to invite him.
