Chapter 111: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven

With the resignation of Wei Huaichao and Wang Kefu of the right prisoner, the supervisor is even more crowded, and the officials who have a way in the yamen are trying to leave, and there are only more than 20 people left in the originally lively prison barely maintained.

Shangguan Lin, who took over the post of supervisor in Changqing for three years, is an old oilman in officialdom, and his more than 30 years of career in the sea have trained him in kung fu, and he is sleek and exquisite. Shangguan Lin is nearly sixty years old, and it is a chore for others to be transferred to the post of Li Kuang Supervisor, but it is a good errand for him, at least the official rank has been promoted by one order, and he can return to his hometown with the honor of a fourth-grade official for a few years, and he can be recorded on the epitaph in the future.

The recital of the eunuch was originally played once every three days, and soon after Shi Chongwei succeeded to the throne, it was changed to a ten-day recital, several times to face the saint, Shangguan Lin speculated that the Son of Heaven did not like to have a lot of thoughts, and the recital of the eunuch said more good things and less difficult things, and Shi Chongwei saw that he still had a smiling face. Shangguan Lin Shen read the rules of officialdom, and the Qingshui Yamen was also picked up by him, and the advice he received was presented to praise St. Goethe, and when he encountered a private complaint, he did it as appropriate, which not only made the officialdom face but also benefited from it, and everyone was happy.

Originally, the Likuan prison was divided into left and right prisons, because no one wanted to come here, so the left and right prisons were combined into one, and Shangguan Lin had both. The Son of Heaven doesn't like it, the music in the copper is scarce, sometimes there is not a single document for three or five days, the messenger of the yamen is extremely idle, and the other yamen are so busy that their feet do not touch the ground, and the prison can get together to bask in the sun and chat, Shangguan Lin does not reprimand when he sees it, sometimes he smiles and leans over to say a few sentences, and some people in Beijing laugh and sigh that the Likuang prison has become a yamen for the elderly.

A few letters are placed on the table of Shangguan Lin, Shangguan Lin slowly tastes the tea, the tea is the nectar of the green mountains, the fragrance is rich, the entrance is sweet, this tea is sent by Sima Ren Haofei of Shaozhou, some people reported that Ren Haofei embezzled the field, Shangguan Lin dialed it once, Ren Haofei knew the grace of the report, and sent a lot of Shaozhou specialties.

It is worthy of being one of the top ten famous teas, and Shangguan Lin put down the tea cup and lazily picked up the paperwork on the table. The first letter is a suggestion to set up a card to collect taxes and silver on the traffic artery, Shangguan Lin sneered, the Son of Heaven seeks a strategy to enrich the treasury, during this period of time there are a lot of financial strategies, but most of them are general or quick success, just like this artery card, the rat is a short-sighted person, in vain to try to be close to a strategy.

Throwing the song away, Shangguan Lin picked up the second one, and sat up straight in shock with a sweep of his eyes. The article listed Jiang Anyi's friendship with Pingzhong, the governor of Anxi, and the large-scale placement of cronies to control the Anxi camp, and secretly colluded with the rebels of the Yuantian Sect, resulting in Feng Siyan's defeat and so on.

Shangguan Lin's head was "buzzing", this letter was presented to the Son of Heaven, and a catastrophe was coming. Picking up the tea and pouring it, the tea that was sweet and delicious just now became bitter and unpalatable, Shangguan Lin wondered if he could inform Jiang Anyi of this in advance in exchange for benefits. Obviously, Jiang Anyi's reward will be very rich, but Shangguan Lin shook his head, this matter is too big, if he is implicated, I am afraid that he will also be crushed.

Recently, Shangguan Lin has also heard a lot of rumors about Huazhou in Beijing, and Feng Siyan picked this time to tell Jiang Anyi that he was afraid that someone was behind him, and the court would have to have a lot of trouble just after he was born. A pot of tea went down to his stomach, Shangguan Lin Sizhi felt that he couldn't hide it, so he got up and went to Zichen Hall with this letter of advice.

It is from the official rank of the fourth rank that the supervisor is qualified to go to the court, but Shangguan Lin never goes to join in the fun when he has nothing to do on weekdays. When Shangguan Lin came to the Zichen Palace, it was almost noon, and the Son of Heaven had already retreated back to the imperial study, and Shangguan Lin came to the imperial study to meet him.

Shi Chongwei still looked at this "kind man", and said with a smile: "Shangguan Qing, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you have sent me some good news today." Shangguan Lin saw that the Son of Heaven was in a good mood, and secretly complained in his heart, and he submitted this letter of advice, afraid that the Son of Heaven was going to turn his joy into anger.

Sure enough, after reading the letter of accusation, Shi Chongwei's face turned pale, and a suppressed roar erupted from his throat into a low roar, "Feng Siyan is so bold, and he will slander the minister if he is defeated, I will never spare him." Shangguan Lin looked down at the brick floor under his feet, and was silent, it is better to intervene less in such a thing, and to protect himself.

Zhang Jin stood beside him and persuaded softly: "Long live the anger, the anger hurts the body, the lord is worried about the ministers, if there is anything to do, you might as well let the ministers deal with it." ”

This sentence reminded Shi Chongwei that a few days ago, Zhang Heqing, the commander of Longwei, reported that there were a lot of rumors about Huazhou in Beijing, and he didn't think about it, so he asked him to find out the source to see who was spreading rumors.

Shi Chongwei picked up Feng Siyan's letter of accusation again and read it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became, did Jiang Anyi collude with the Yuan Tianjiao as stated in the letter of accusation? Huazhou is on the border, and the Western Regions are connected by the Gobi, the Yuan Tianjiao rebels against the party in the Western Regions, Jiang Anyi defeated the Rong Mi State in this westward expedition, why not take advantage of the situation to attack the Great Qi State?

"Summoning Zhang Heqing and Huang Xi to see me", Shi Chongwei said.

…………

After listening to Zhang Heqing's account of the rumors of Jiang Anyi's sins in Beijing: concealing money, colluding with rebellion, inviting people to buy people's hearts, and meddling in the military camp, Shi Chongwei's eyes were about to burst out, and he shouted angrily: "Jiang Anyi has so many lawless things, why didn't you make it clear to me earlier, did you take his advantage." ”

Zhang Heqing said: "Long live, these are just rumors in Beijing, the minister has sent someone to Huazhou to check, and wants to wait until there is solid evidence before reporting long live." ”

Shi Chongwei calmed down a little, turned his face and asked Huang Xi, "Huang Xi, can the secret guard be aware of it?" ”

"Long live Qi Yu, the secret guard has also heard of it, but the minister sent someone to collect some evidence, and I wanted to report Long Live after the Mid-Autumn Festival, so as not to worry about Long Live it." Huang Xi said quietly.

Shi Chongwei scolded: "Fart, how can such an important matter be delayed, you quickly present the evidence you have collected to me." Huang Xi went to get evidence, Shi Chongwei thought about it and ordered: "Go and invite Kong Xiang, Duan Xiang and Zhu Taiwei to come." ”

Huang Xi's evidence is very sufficient, there are witnesses under each article, Zhang Heqing has a secret hatred in his heart, it seems that the secret guard has been targeting Jiang Anyi for a long time, these things are not something that can be taken out in a short time.

After reading the spy reports sent by Huang Xi one by one, Shi Chongwei's face opened a dyeing shop, from green to yellow, from yellow to white, white and red, and finally swept the pen and inkstone on the table to the ground, and roared angrily: "Thief, I deceived me too much, and I still regarded him as a minister of humerus, and my father also regarded him as a national warrior, and I was angry." ”

Duan Cizong glanced at Huang Xi and said: "Long live the anger, the truth of this matter is still unknown, long live don't forget, Jiang Anyi was said to have fornicated with the desert country back then, and in the end it was confirmed that it was just a slanderous accusation." ”

Shi Chongwei's heart moved, and he stared at Huang Xi who was humbly bowing his head on the side, could it be that this time it was Huang Xi who slandered Jiang Anyi, but this time the incident started because of Feng Siyan, Zhang Heqing reported it, and Huang Xi only started after I asked him. Shi Chongwei glanced at the thick spy report on the table, and it was not like he was slandering Jiang Anyi if he had evidence.

Kong Province arched his hand and said: "The old minister also heard some rumors against Jiang Anyi, the minister thinks that most of these rumors are deliberately spread by the people of the Western Regions, Jiang Anyi defeated the Rong Mi country, and threatened the Xiuli country, and many countries in the Western Regions came to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year to seek peace, precisely because of Jiang Anyi's great achievements. Jiang Anyi and the Yuan Tianjiao have fought many times, there is a great enmity between the two, it is unlikely that Jiang Anyi and the Yuan Tianjiao will communicate, it is very likely that Jiang Anyi and the Great Qi State will jointly deal with the Rong Mi State, as long as it is beneficial to the country, there is no need to delve into it. As for inviting people to buy people's hearts, it is not even possible, Jiang Anyi has been in Huazhou for many years, and he has won the popularity of the people, and it is indeed inappropriate for the people to cheer long live after returning from a great victory, but the small people are ignorant, so they are afraid that the ministers who have made meritorious contributions will lose the hearts of the ministers. ”

Shi Chongwei was moved by the words of the two Xiangguo, and said to himself: "Could it be the anti-plot of the people of the Western Regions?" Zhu Zipu, you were originally the governor of Anxi, and you had a lot of contact with the generals of the Anxi battalion, you said, Jiang Anyi planted people in the barracks, but it is a fact? ”

Zhu Zipu was a little hesitant, he had served as the governor of Anxi for many years, and he had inextricable ties with the Anxi camp, and many of his cronies were still serving in the Anxi camp, and the correspondence naturally had some understanding of the situation in the Anxi camp. He knew that Jiang Anyi sent his guards to the Anxi camp as low-level officers, but in Zhu Zipu's opinion, there was nothing wrong with it, Jiang Anyi intended to march west, so he naturally had to have a team like an arm, otherwise he would lose the battle without fighting. When he was the governor of Anxi, most of the army were his cronies, and Jiang Anyi did not have many people in comparison.

Shi Chongwei saw that Zhu Zipu didn't speak for a long time, slapped the table heavily, and shouted, "Taiwei Zhu, what did I ask you?" Could it be that Jiang Anyi has something to do with you, and you know in advance that he has planted people in the army? ”

Zhu Zhipu is clever, he knows that the Son of Heaven does not value him as a captain, but he gave himself the position of lieutenant in a friendly way, and in recent years, many generals have been operating in secret, wanting to squeeze himself out of the position of lieutenant.

At this time, he couldn't take care of Jiang Anyi, and Zhu Zhipu hurriedly responded: "The minister has little contact with the old department of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, but some people do mention that Jiang Anyi sent his personal guards to the camp as captains, and those people are all good hands in the army, and joining the army has greatly increased the warring states of the Anxi camp." ”

The army is the forbidden territory of the Son of Heaven, the prince of the domain is the uncle and brother of the Son of Heaven, and the personal guards around them are only 800 or 600, and there are 160,000 soldiers and horses in the Anxi camp.

When it came to military affairs, Kong Province and Duan Cizong were inconvenient to keep silent, and they glanced at each other, and they could see deep worry in each other's eyes.
