Dou Kui's righteous words were strict, which was to capture Sima Lan's sentence that there was no father and son in the court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qi Ning watched coldly, Sima Lan took the initiative to admit the matter of enclosing land and occupying the land, which also made Qi Ning a little stunned, but he knew very well in his heart that this Zhenguo Duke could climb to the position of the imperial minister, of course, he was not an old fool, it was an old monster who was more cunning than a fox, and he knew that this old monster was only afraid of what tricks he was playing.

He had only heard that these two factions were fighting openly and secretly, but after all, he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, and he never imagined that he would see such a good show when he first appeared at the court meeting today.

Sima Lan was forced to ask by Dou Kui, but she still seemed calm and calm, and said: "The internal situation of this matter is complicated, and it is still inconvenient to say it clearly in the court." Turning to the little emperor: "Your Majesty, the old minister begs to surrender!" ”

Longtai obviously didn't see through what medicine was sold in Sima Lan's gourd, frowned slightly, and suddenly saw the king of Huainan come out and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo is an old minister of several dynasties, and the Duke is loyal to the country. Xiang Sima Lan said: "Old Guogong, if there is really any difficulty in this, although you make it clear to the emperor, this king will never believe that you are bending the law for personal gain." ”

Sima Lan was slightly grateful, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, it's just ...... Hey, there are some things that are better not to be said. Sima Chang cautiously enclosed land and occupied land, violated the law of the country, and begged the emperor to punish the crime, but the old minister did not report it...... is also guilty of sin, and begged the emperor to punish the crime together. ”

At this moment, I saw one of the ministers rushing out, kneeling on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a plan to play." ”

Everyone looked over and saw that the person who came out of the list was the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Huang Fuzheng, and some people sneered in their hearts, thinking that this case was really lively, and everyone on both sides appeared.

Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry have all been involved.

Sima Lan was the first close minister of Emperor Taizong, when the old marquis of Jinyi and the old marquis of Wuxiang were fighting outside, Jin Daohou was left out in the cold, and Sima Lan was the first minister of the humerus to assist in the administration.

At that time, after the war in the capital, there are many places to be rebuilt, this Huangfu Zheng is proficient in construction engineering, was pulled by Sima Lan in that year, and then rose step by step, has been sitting in the position of the Ministry of Works, many people know in their hearts that Chen Lanting, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and the Emperor Fuzheng of the Ministry of Works, has always been regarded as Sima Lan's right-hand man.

However, today's case has nothing to do with the Ministry of Industry at all, but this Huangfu Zheng suddenly broke out, but it is quite out of place, everyone guessed that this Huangfu Zheng must have to speak for Sima Lan, some people think in their hearts that this Huangfu Zheng is also a smart person, today is a little annoying, although I know that you are Sima Lan's person, but you should not be so blatantly come out to speak.

Long Tai also seemed calm and calm, and asked, "What is the matter with Huangfu Aiqing?" ”

"Your Majesty, Ngee An enclosure, and the ministers also know the inside story." Huangfu Zhengse said: "Although the Sima family is at fault, it is precisely because of this incident that it proves the loyalty of the Sima family to the emperor." ”

The ministers looked at each other, and they didn't understand the meaning of the emperor's government for a while, and some people thought that the Sima family enclosed land and occupied the land, but it could prove that the Sima family was loyal, which was really ridiculous.

Long Tai frowned and said, "What does Huangfu Aiqing mean by this?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Ngee An Circle occupies 1,300 acres of fertile land, which is not right, but ...... But does the emperor know where all this tax money went? Huang Fuzheng looked up at Longtai, "The minister knows the whereabouts of these tax silvers best. ”

"You know?"

"Back to the Holy Lord, all the tax silver of these 1,300 hectares of fertile land was handed over to the minister." Huangfu Zheng said: "The Sima family did not occupy a tael of silver. ”

Above the solemn court, there was an immediate uproar, and some people immediately thought keenly, could it be that this emperor Fuzheng was so loyal to the Sima family, and at this critical moment, he stepped forward to carry the black cauldron? However, this tax amount is not a small amount, even if the emperor wants to replace the black cauldron, when the time comes, it will be investigated whether it is true or false, but it is not difficult.

"Huangfu Zheng, what's going on?" Longtai was obviously confused, and said in a deep voice: "How did the tax money get into your hands?" ”

Huang Fuzheng lay on the ground and said, "Minister...... The minister can't say! ”

"Lord Huangfu, if you don't say it, you will not be innocent." Dou Kui said loudly: "Enclosure and occupation of land is done by Zhongyihou, and you claim that the tax money has come into your hands, you and Zhongyihou are involved, if you can't explain the ins and outs of it, not only can you not explain it to the emperor, but this Manchu minister, I'm afraid it's also dissatisfied." ”

Huangfu Zheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers ......!" He raised his head sharply and said, "The minister is truthful, in fact, all the tax money is used in the palace." ”

"In the palace?" Longtai was stunned.

Huangfu Zheng said loudly: "The emperor may not know, after the establishment of my Great Chu, the palaces in the imperial city have only been renovated once, and Emperor Taizong and the first emperor are both diligent and thrifty saints, and they do not spend money on the renovation of this palace. After the war between my Great Chu and the Northern Han Dynasty in Qinhuai, the money, food, and military salaries were consumed hugely, and the treasury was empty, and at this time, there was a palace in the palace that collapsed, and the emperor did not make a public announcement. ”

Long Tai thought for a moment, and said slightly: "I remember that three years ago, the Ministry of Industry renovated the Wende Palace, which took several months. Asked, "Is this related to the Ngee Ann tax bank?" ”

"There are not a few palaces to be renovated in the palace, Wende Hall is the place where the first emperor rests on weekdays, and the prince sees that there are many old places in the palace, so he let the ministers find a way." Huangfu Zheng said: "Although there are many palaces that need to be renovated, but the cost is very huge, and the front-line soldiers are fighting with the Northern Han Dynasty. ”

Longtai nodded slightly, and Huangfu Zhengcai continued: "The old prince didn't want the first emperor to be wronged, so he raised money in many ways and owed a large amount of silver, which allowed the Wende Hall to be rebuilt smoothly. However, the silver taels owed by the renovation of the Wende Hall could not be borne by the household department, and the old man was worried day and night, and in order to relieve the worries of the old man, he occupied the land in the enclosure of Yi'an, just to repay the arrears. The voice was choked: "After the old prince knew about this, he also scolded Zhongyihou, and made it clear to the first emperor, the first emperor knew everything about this matter, and only let those fields be returned to the people after repaying the arrears." ”

The ministers suddenly realized, thinking that it was no wonder that Feng Ruohai offered this killer idea, but Zhenguo Gong was not flustered, it turned out that this matter actually involved the first emperor.

"The old man owes a lot of silver, just to rebuild the Wende Hall for the palace, but this matter is not easy to publicize after all, so the old prince also asked me not to publicize it." When Huang Fuzheng said this, he lay on the ground, "The minister has a detailed account book in his hand, and he can send someone to fetch it now and present it to the emperor for his eyes." ”

Long Tai looked at Sima Lan and asked, "Old Guogong, is this the case?" ”

Zhenguo Gong sighed: "Your Majesty, this matter was the old minister's stubbornness at that time, and he strongly advocated rebuilding, and it had nothing to do with others. The first emperor was diligent and thrifty and loved the people, but the ministers couldn't bear to see the first emperor living in a dangerous palace. He knelt down tremblingly and said: "The old minister is guilty, conniving at Sima Chang to carefully enclose the land and occupy the land, the crime deserves death, and I ask the emperor to surrender." ”

Qi Ning sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that this Sima Lan was really amazing, Feng Ruohai tried his best, but in the end, he was easily solved by the Duke of Zhenguo.

Just imagine that since this matter involves the first emperor, who would dare to say that Sima Lan is not?

Could it be that raising money to repair the palace for the palace will be condemned to prison? The matter is very clear, the first emperor was also clear about the occupation of land in Yi'an, but he did not punish the crime, as the successor king, of course, Longtai could not blame the Sima family for this matter.

The corners of King Huainan's eyes twitched, but at this moment, he quickly stepped forward and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the old country's father-in-law is loyal to the country, and it is also for the palace that it will be like this, and the emperor is asked to be innocent." ”

At this time, a group of ministers bowed down and said, "I beg the emperor to forgive the old man for his innocence!" ”

Long Tai knew that it was impossible to condemn the Sima family with this matter, otherwise wouldn't it be said that the first emperor was stupid and incompetent? Seeing the ministers pleading, he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Zhenguo Gong, enclosing land and occupying land, it is against the law of the country, but you are loyal to the first emperor, and your merits and demerits are offset, and you will not be rewarded or punished." However, the accounts of the tax and silver and the accounts of the rebuilding of the Wende Hall were transferred to the household department, and once the silver was repaid, the land occupied was returned to the people according to the words of the previous emperor. ”

Zhen Guogong said gratefully: "The old minister thanks the emperor for his grace of not sinning, and the old minister must send someone to return the land to the people as soon as possible." ”

"Let's be flat." Longtai raised his hand and said: "This matter is over, no one should mention it again." ”

Feng Ruohai was unwilling, but helpless, and was about to return to the ministers, but he heard a voice say: "Lord Feng, slow down!" One person walked out and said loudly: "The emperor, the minister and the imperial Shi Tai serve the imperial Shi Hu Geng have this participation, and the minister wants to impeach Feng Ruohai, this person is favoritism, corruption and perversion of the law, and he is even more disregarded and shameless, he is the first traitor in this dynasty, please ask the emperor to see it!" ”

Feng Ruohai's face changed greatly, he turned his head, and saw that the servant Yushi had a solemn expression, and he was also looking at himself, the two looked at each other, Hu Geng's lips had a sneer, but Feng Ruohai felt cold all over his body.

Qi Ning almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Today's court meeting was really wonderful, a wave of unevenness rose again and again, this Feng Ruohai tried his best to impeach the Sima family, but he failed to succeed, turned his face, but was impeached again in an instant.

This Hu Geng raised his hand, and the eunuch of the ruling hall took it and presented it to Longtai.

Qi Ning saw it in his eyes, but suddenly realized that this matter may not be simple, since this servant Hu Geng is prepared for the twists and turns, it means that he has been prepared for a long time, Feng Ruohai participated in the impeachment of Sima Changshen today, but Hu Geng was ready to impeach Feng Ruohai, this is obviously not accidental.

He couldn't help but turn his head slightly to look at Sima Lan, only to see this old guy standing at the top of the list of ministers with a slight bow, his expression was calm, the eight winds did not move, although he was old, but his steps were solid, it seemed that a stone was rooted there, and in an instant, Qi Ning understood that this old guy was only afraid that before the court meeting, he already knew that Feng Ruohai was going to make trouble, so he had already made preparations, and as soon as the matter of enclosing land and occupying land was resolved, he immediately cut down the knife at Feng Ruohai.
