Text Chapter 370 The Debate of the Court
It's just that he didn't help him as soon as his mind was pitiful, just the so-called critical moment to see affection, presumably after this incident, this Tobe Shangshu thought freely in his heart, of course he knew his previous signs, so he took a step forward and simply approached himself.
The benefits brought to him by the position of Hubu Shangshu are considerable, and if the emperor does not have a little trust in this person, how can he give such a powerful position to this Ni Xuan, although he was accused of making a mistake this time, but after just saying, even if the emperor really can punish, it must not be much of a problem.
A few words in exchange for a right-hand man, he can still weigh the stakes in this.
As for his own matter, when the time comes, no matter how bold he is, it will be impossible for him to do this under the nose of this emperor again.
Song Zhancheng pursed his lips and suppressed a smile and said solemnly, "And according to the recent investigation, Father, the taxes collected by the imperial court from various places are indeed too high, and it is reasonable to be tight in the past, but it seems that there is no war on the border, and the minister thinks that it should be appropriately reduced, otherwise there will always be people like Hubu Shangshu who have to evade taxes because of this." ”
Trivial matters are resolved at the national level, and everything is covered up with seemingly reasonable and appropriate reasons, and what is beneficial to oneself is carried out, which can be taught by the emperor himself when he was a child.
"The emperor's brother has not been at the border in Kyoto before, how did he know that the head of the household is conscientious and considerate of the people all year round, but it is better not to talk nonsense."
Song Jinghe suppressed his gloomy eyes and said with a smirk to Song Zhancheng.
At this time, another voice sounded in the court hall again, "Your Majesty, although Prince Jin was at the border before, everyone knows that this Prince Jin has been back with the new princess for a long time, and it is not difficult for him to investigate these things as long as he has the heart to investigate these things, and this Prince Jin has just come back to share state affairs for His Majesty, which is really well-intentioned and affectionate." ”
Everyone looked at it and saw that it was Young Master Wei on the side of the household department Shangshu who was speaking, and they were all amazed.
These two people usually have no relationship, but at this critical time, he actually came out to speak for the sake of Hubu Shangshu.
Today's court can be described as very lively.
Young Master Wei and the kneeling Hubu Shangshu met for a second, and then staggered clearly.
The fact that there is no intersection on the surface does not mean that there is no intersection in secret, this Wei Shaofu is another person who belongs to the Prince of Jin with him as Ni Xuan, and the big gift they gave to the Prince of Jin must be that the Hubu Shangshu can't say it now.
However, this young master Wei is not impossible, he came here prepared today, but let the prince take the first step, to see if the wound they tore is big or the wound that the prince tore is big, wait and see.
Song Zhancheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he didn't speak, he acquiesced, this is really getting more and more interesting.
The emperor couldn't help but have a headache on it, one sentence here and another, but there was a trace of right in what he said, and he really didn't know what to say.
Now that the two sides of the court are facing each other, the atmosphere is also tense, and now the two courts are fighting against each other, and Song Zhancheng's side has a slight upper hand, so it depends on which side the last straw is pressed on.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do."
"Say." The emperor frowned and looked at Young Master Wei, how could this person also be involved.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been investigating this corrupt official recently, and it just so happened that Weichen and the Household Secretary followed the investigation and discovered the matter, but before he could report it to His Royal Highness the Prince, the Household Secretary was ......."
Don't say anything, but don't say three points.
"Then it happened that Wei Chen saw that it was just right today, so he made his own opinion and wanted to report directly to His Majesty."
Song Jinghe's eyes locked directly on this young master Wei, but the man didn't look at him and continued: "After our investigation, this Master Shangshu Ye of the Ministry of Industry is involved in the bribery case. ”
"A bribery case?"
"Yes, bribery cases. One of them directly involves a human life, and indirectly involves a human life, if you say it in detail, the other human life may have nothing to do with the Ministry of Works, but in contact, it is indirectly caused by the Ministry of Works. ”
"These two lives belong to two civilians, a woman and an old mother."
"Presumably Your Majesty has already guessed that this is a common case of rape by a woman, if it is ordinary, it would be fine, but the mother of the victim woman sued the Ministry of Industry Shangshu, and the offender is a distant relative of the Ye branch of the Ministry of Industry, a local habitual offender, and has been declared many times, but he has a trace of connection with the Ministry of Industry, so it has never happened."
"This time, the old mother sued the Ministry of Industry and hoped to give an explanation, but the offender used a bribe to buy the right to know, and indiscriminately judged that the woman died of illness, and finally caused the old mother to jump into the river and die in grief."
"These are all verified from the evidence of the dead woman who was raped and the old woman who jumped into the river, and I have also investigated the confessions of local residents, which is really true."
"This is the testimony evidence oral record and other victim prosecutions and bribery lists, I hope Your Majesty will know it!"
"Ridiculous!" The emperor relapsed the dragon chair and rebuked.
When the Ministry of Industry Shangshu heard this, he instantly fell to the ground and showed gray, it's over, and it is clear that he has done a good job when did they find out.
Then he trembled and knelt on the ground as if he was dying, shouting loudly for wronging His Majesty Mingjian, but he couldn't say why to justify it.
Song Jinghyuk's face was as low as water, why didn't he know about this?
His eyes were gloomy and he looked at the Ministry of Industry Shangshu who collapsed to the ground, this is really a good concealment, he hid him but planted himself in it, heh.
When the Ministry of Labor Shangshu saw the prince looking over, he hurriedly called for help, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have been wronged, save me, save me!" ”
Song Jinghe didn't even give him a look, it's better not to get involved in this kind of thing, this Young Master Wei and Hubu Shangshu are obviously prepared, today is considered to be a rake, if you are stupid and still go to intercede now, you may not know how to get on fire.
The emperor was furious and asked the Taibao on the other side, this Taibao only knew a lot about things outside the court, and he was still trusted by the emperor in the court.
"Taibao, is this really the case?"
Taibao arched his hand and replied: "The minister has indeed heard about this. ”
This sentence is equivalent to a slap in the face, which is equivalent to setting the responsibility for the Ministry of Works.
Song Zhancheng playfully hooked the corners of his lips, he had also heard Foshan mention this matter before, but because the news was blocked quickly at that time, Foshan did not know the true story of this whole thing, so he didn't care much about it at that time.
I didn't expect it to be taken out by two people who had a heart today and beat the Ministry of Works, and I really don't believe it if I don't say that I came prepared.
No matter how much the Ministry of Industry Shangshu struggles this time, he has run out of energy, and this time it is clearly a bribery case, but it is different if two lives are involved.
No one knows what happened in this, but the guilt of taking bribes and embezzlement one by one, and the emperor didn't pick his skin.
Today, presumably Song Jinghyuk is the most unsatisfactory person, he wanted to bite someone but was bitten back, ha, he looked at it painfully.
But who called this Song Jinghe stupid, there are some things that his people don't tell him, this is the biggest taboo.
This time, there was no escape.
