On the 25th day of the second lunar month, Yun Xi carefully flipped through the evidence and confessions sent by the Criminal Department in front of him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Criminal Department Shangshu Ru Python, Jinyi Wei Commander Qin Song and Zhen Si Commander Guo Hongtao stood in front of him.

After a long time, Yun Xi said: "The evidence is very complete, and the confession matches the evidence, so it seems that they can be convicted." ”

Then Yun Xi raised his head and said to them, "How do you think we should be convicted?" ”

After thinking about it, Ru Chan said: "Your Majesty, since it is involved in the case of rebellion, Yan Zhenzhi should be sentenced to Ling Chi, and his relatives who have not separated from the family should be exiled, and the rest of the relatives are also implicated. Other officials involved in cases of adversarial rebellion have also done the same. ”

"Officials who are not involved in the case of rebellion should not be punished severely, and they can be demoted and exiled separately, and it is not appropriate to implicate their families."

Yun Xi asked the others again: "Qin Song, Guo Hongtao, what do you two think?" ”

Qin Song said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Ru Shangshu is reasonable, so it is better to use Ru Shangshu's method." ”

Guo Hongtao said: "The minister thinks that what Ru Shangshu said is a bit light, for those involved in the rebellion case, except for Ling Chi himself, those who have already made a name in the clan should have their fame stripped of their fame, and those who are close to him in the family should be executed as adults." ”

"Officials who are not involved in the rebellion case should also be exiled to the frontier with their whole family. The rest of the tribesmen are not punished. ”

Yun Xi stood up, stomped in the hall for a while, and then said: "Yan Zhenzhi is a high-ranking official of the second rank, and he has also made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, I still think it is better to leave him some dignity, so I will not punish Ling Chi on him, and just kill him." Other officials involved in cases of adversarial rebellion have also done the same. ”

But Guo Hongtao is right, you can't be too indulgent. Therefore the people of the clan, the people of one family, shall be exiled, and the meritorious people of the whole clan shall be stripped of their fame. In addition, these official families involved in the rebellion case are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination for 30 years, and they are not allowed to enter the Guozijian! ”

Ru Chan suddenly looked at Yun Xi with a surprised face, and then turned to fear; Qin Song also looked at Yun Xi with some surprise; Only Guo Hongtao was a little surprised at first, but immediately turned to admiration.

Yun Xi's move is too ruthless, he is not allowed to take the imperial examination or enter the national prison, this is to cut off the hope of these families to become officials in the next 30 years! It can be said that this is a serious punishment second only to the beheading of the whole family, and can be compared to the exile of the whole clan. It is estimated that Yan Zhenzhi would rather be executed by Ling Chi than have such a punishment in his family.

Yun Xi continued: "In addition to those officials who are not involved in the rebellion case, those who have a meritorious name in the clan have their meritorious names stripped of their meritorious names and are exiled themselves. It is not necessary to ban the imperial examination. ”

"What do you think?"

Although Yun Xi's words were in a questioning tone, everyone was not blind, how could they not see that Yun Xi had actually made up his mind, and he just asked casually. So the three of them immediately said, "Your Majesty's disposition is very appropriate, and the ministers have no other opinions." ”

Yun Xi smiled and said, "Then let's do it." Su Youxue, according to what I just meant. ”

When Su Youxue was drafting the decree, Ru Chan said again: "Your Majesty, in addition to this, what does Your Majesty plan to do with those who instigate the tandem?" ”

Ru Chan is a person who holds a lot of grudges, and this time, because he is the only civil official among the three yamen involved, the most people who come to their door to block him, and he is scolded the most. So at this time, of course, he had to mention this matter and let Yun Xi deal with them.

Yun Xi also sneered: "When Grandpa Huang was in power, although he did not prohibit the students of Guozijian from writing books and talking about the court situation like the students, since he was not an official in the court, he should not talk too much. He was also very unhappy with these people.

"Su Youxue continued to draft the purpose, for the leader, I remember that it was called Fang or something, I heard that he was eloquent, so let him go to the Three Buddhas to teach the barbarians. Those who jumped up and down like him went to Srivijaya together as scholars. Forget it, let's let Uncle Twenty-One arrange them. But remember, let them bring the whole family with them. ”

Ru Yu smiled. Going to Sriwijaya, even if it is an official, but it is worse than exile, it is better than exile, of course he is satisfied.

"As for the others, they will all be expelled from the Guozijian and will never be allowed to enter the Guozijian in the future." Yun Xi finally left a way to live, and did not completely block their path to civil officials.

Also, Yun Xi himself remembered something: "They actually inserted people in Jinwu's avant-garde, but they haven't used it much in the past ten years, it's really forbearing." ”

"This person named Wenhui who was inserted into Jinwu's left guard is also very remarkable, and he has not shown his feet at all in Jinwu's avant-garde for twenty years."

"Because they were so tolerant, I decided not to put Wen Hui to death, but imprisoned him for life, and only provided him with poisonous water every day, if he didn't drink it, he would die, and if he drank too much, he would die, and only by drinking a certain amount of water could he guarantee that he would not die of thirst and not be poisoned. I want to see how long he can endure like this. ”

Yun Xi is full of malice towards this person. He was very angry that there was such a person in his closest army, so he decided to deal with this person in this way without the emperor's dignity.

And this person who used to be the head of the household department and installed him in the past, if he is still alive, I will definitely not let him go! Yun Xi thought.

Yun Xi disposed of all these people who should be disposed of, and after Su Youxue's draft decree let Yun Xi see that there was no problem, Yun Xi took out the jade seal of the country that had just returned to the palace, and stamped a bright red seal on the holy decree.

However, Yun Xi immediately put away the jade seal of the country again. Yun Xi is just a little curious about getting the jade seal of the country for the first time today, so he used it to cover a will, like the jade seal of the country that can actually be classified as a cultural relic, Yun Xi will not use it easily in the future.

Ru Yu and Guo Hongtao retired successively. After looking at the back of Su Youxue going to pass the decree, Qin Song said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, now that these people have been disposed of, Your Majesty can have a relaxed and good year." ”

Yun Xi also smiled: "The reason why I must solve them before the New Year is to have a good year, I don't want to hold this matter in my heart for the New Year." ”

Qin Song bowed down and said with a smile: "That minister will give Your Majesty an early year!" ”

Yun Xi also replied with a smile: "Thank you Aiqing, I also pay tribute to Aiqing in her early years." ”

After that, the two of them said a few more words, and Qin Song retreated.

Yun Xi also returned to Kunning Palace in the harem.

But Yun Xi still has some difficulty in calming down, and he doesn't know why.

In Kunning Palace, Xi Yao was talking to Yun Xi while observing his face, making sure that he should be in a good mood, and the troubles should have been dealt with, so he took out a document and said: "Husband, this is the banquet and palace arrangement drawn up this year according to the situation of last year's Shangyuan Festival, if there is no problem, let them go according to this preparation." ”

Yun Xi took it and looked at it carefully, and said to Xi Yao: "Here, I plan to arrange one more banquet this year, don't be too extravagant, the number of people is more than a dozen." ”

Xi Yao picked up the pen and wrote this on it, saying, "The concubine knows." ”

Yun Xi was suddenly a little curious: "How do you remember the income and expenditure accounts in this palace?" ”

Xi Yao replied: "Husband, the bookkeeping in the palace is the same as that outside, with income and expenditure, and when it is summarized every month and year, it is recorded in and out. ”

"However, there are not many types of taxes in the palace, and there are only two sources of money in the palace, such as the imperial village and the treasury silver, so it is easy to 'collect' and record."

"But the 'branch' is also very complicated because there are many expenses in the palace."

Yun Xi took a book of accounts handed over by Tingle and looked at it casually. Xi Yao looked at Yun Xi a little nervously. She wondered if someone had given her eye medicine in front of His Majesty, otherwise how could His Majesty suddenly remember about the accounts?

But Yun Xi didn't check the accounts, she just talked to Xi Yao so casually, and the accounts also let her choose a book at will, but it didn't look like someone was taking eye medicine.

She really misunderstood Yun Xi. Yun Xi is just a little curious about the bookkeeping in the palace. He used to graduate with an accounting major, and although he should have forgotten all the knowledge after such a long time, he is still relatively professional in this regard.

He had just suddenly remembered his profession in his previous life, so he wanted to take a look at the accounts in the palace. Although he had forgotten most of his knowledge, he still remembered the basic principles and wondered if he should change the bookkeeping according to the rules of his previous life.

He was thinking about it when he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with one of the accounts. Yun Xi pointed to this article and said to Xi Yao: "Xi Yao, look at this one, is there something wrong?" ”

"Although I don't remember very clearly last year, it seems that the expenses from January to June are not even thirty percent, and there is still some surplus in the silver of this item in the palace, why are there so many expenses in the second half of the year?"

Xiyao said: "Husband, this is because during the rebellion in the second half of the year, the palace had a lot more expenses because of the strict relationship between inside and outside, and it happened that there was still a balance in this item, so the concubine ordered someone to list the expenses in this item." ”

"When it comes to next year, the concubine plans to cut the expenses of this item, so that he will not have too much surplus."

Yun Xi thought for a while and said, "I seem to have heard of such a method. ”

Xi Yao said: "This is the method used by Xu Shangshu of the household department back then. ”

Yun Xi said: "I see, no wonder I feel familiar. ”

But then Yun Xi suddenly remembered something, and his face changed slightly. However, he immediately recovered and continued to talk about the accounts with Xi Yao.

Then the little ones came back from self-study, and Yun Xi teased the children for a while and had dinner with them.

However, Yun Xi ordered Wang Xi to say a word before dinner, and then Wang Xi did not appear again for the rest of the day.
