17. Lu Qishen is idle
The grounds for impeachment were "untruthful, and the old and new texts were false."
It means that the accounts he paid were found to be untrue by the Ministry of Gold and the Ministry of Warehouse.
Then the envoy said to Liu Yan, please go to the Imperial City Imperial History Observatory for the time being, and wait for the judgment of the three divisions.
In the entire Xianchefang, almost all the high-grade officials gathered and looked at Liu Yan in surprise.
Liu Yan didn't say that he was overly excited, he calmly ate all the steamed beards, and then untied the goldfish talisman and the belt of the seven things, and handed them all over to the envoy with the elephant wat.
"Bow to the prime minister." The lieutenant envoy hurriedly said, and then took Liu Yan back and forth, and walked in the direction of the Imperial City Yushitai.
At the moment of going out of the street, Liu Yan saw Gao Yue walking sideways, and today he was about to go to the courtyard to be straight.
After calmly looking at Gao Yue's eyes, Liu Yan left calmly.
However, Gao Yue's face was very bad, and he looked at Liu Yan with some trembling.
Soon, among the Sensen Imperial History Terrace, several imperial historians, led by Zhang Zhu and Yuanyu, found Lu Qi who was sitting in the hall, and threatened him in person that Liu Yan was already an iron case, and the emperor and Zai Zhi had reached an agreement, and Lu Zhongcheng was asked to avoid this matter, as long as he signed it.
Lu Qi laughed and said that your move is to imitate Zhang Yansheng's move to govern Shitai back then?
It turned out that when Yuan Zai was in power, Li Shaoliang stayed in the Daming Palace Ke Province, and wanted to play the emperor to expose Yuan Zai's crimes, but he was accidentally caught by Yuan Zai, placed the charges of "arrogance" and "banning Chinese", and handed it over to the Yushi Tai for questioning.
When Zhang Zhu and Yuanyu heard Zhongcheng Lu Qi's words, they were a little dissatisfied, and it was the first time they had seen such a Zhongcheng in the imperial history, "Even if you are ugly, you don't know how to raise the times."
But then Lu Qi patted his knees, pointed at these two and said: "Zhang Shiyu, I went to Hunan to rehabilitate the case of Cao Wanggao, the assassin of Hengzhou, and framed King Cao's Hunan observation that Xin Jinggao was impeached and dismissed by you; Servant Yu, you previously impeached Xuanzhou Assassin Shi Pei Guan, saying that he was untruthful, the account books were false, and he indulged his subordinates in corruption and perversion of the law, and Pei Zhou has now moved to the left as Tingzhou Sima. You two, it's really the glory of our Baitai, and now presumably Yang Menlang is also going to hand over Liu Yan's case to the two of you for judgment, and I, a mere middleman, naturally want to quit. ”
Before the two of them could speak, Lu Qi's ugly face showed a smile, "However, Your Majesty will have Your Majesty's own judgment soon, so please don't be impatient first, sit on the couch and drink tea, and wait for the news." ”
Then Lu Qi got up and personally unsealed a few small pots of good tea, and in the stunned eyes of these imperial historians, he wanted to entertain everyone, "Don't rush to judge the case first, drink tea."
In the Zichen Palace, Du You, Han Xun, Zhang She, and others all stood there, vying to ask the emperor to judge Liu Yan's guilt as soon as possible.
As a result, the emperor said slowly: "You say that Liu Yan is not true, but now that the Ministry of Finance and the Department of Warehouse of the Ministry of Household have not completed the verification of the financial endowments of Huainan and other places, isn't it too early to charge Liu Yan?" ”
Han Xun and the others hurriedly said that there was no need to wait for Huainan and other places, Liu Yan's false charges had already been found in several other places.
But at this moment, the news of Huainan Town reached Zichen Palace.
"What, Chen Shaoyou closed his borders and refused to depose the envoy to Huainan? The officials of the advance envoy of the deposed envoy caught fire at the post station where he lived in Yangzhou, burning several officials to death, and the documents he held for verification were also destroyed! Hearing the report, Li Shi was shocked, and then he took Chen Shaoyou's recital, in which Chen Shaoyou's words were very straightforward and explicit:
The minister is by no means resisting His Majesty's code, the minister is just for the Xuanzhou who has just been deposed, and now the envoys of various provinces are holding the documents that they don't know what to come out, and they often frame local officials in the name of "new and old documents to resist fallacies", and the party is the same as this. In the past, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Warehouses did not hold power at all, and they had not verified their wealth for decades, so where did the new document book in their hands come from?
As for the burning and killing of the deposed envoy in the post station, the minister will thoroughly investigate and will not lenient the murderer. In order to avoid the suspicion of the envoy, the minister did not dare to transport money to the imperial court, and the salt and iron transshipment envoy had just been deposed by the prime minister, so this year, the two taxes and the rice were asked by the imperial court to let the household Langzhong take it himself.
The meaning of the last sentence is a faint threat to the imperial court, I am in charge of Yangzhou, as long as I don't meet my thoughts, I will cut off the Jianghuai Cao Yun, so that this year's southeast two taxes will not be transported to Beijing.
"Bastard!" Li Shi scolded earnestly.
But then, the Ziqing Festival made Li Zhengji, Li Na and his son fly away, Li Zhengji angrily reprimanded Yang Yan for sending the dethroned envoy, on the surface is to inspect the local terroir, statistics of households, but in fact it is a tool for Yang Yan to satisfy his own grievances, I have jurisdiction over fifteen states, please close the border and pay the two taxes!
In fact, before and after, Huaixi, Weibo, Chengde, and Lulong Zhufang Zhen also expressed their dissatisfaction, and they did not say that the two tax laws were bad, but were worried that "the use of non-human law" and "the law has no drawbacks, but people have drawbacks".
If Huaixi, Ziqing, and Huainan all resist fiercely, then what is the meaning of the implementation of these two tax laws? Especially Yangzhou, which is at the center of Caoyun, once Chen Shaoyou really disobeys his orders, he can't even collect the first round of summer taxes, and the war in Jingyuan can't be maintained at all, which will fall into a dead end.
Li Shi was sweating profusely, and sat on the rope bed with a pale face.
Seeing that the focus was shifted again, Du You, Zhang She, Han Hui and others surrounded the emperor and began to re-discuss the issue of Liu Yan's conviction, and said that as long as Liu Yan was severely punished, he could deter Chen Shaoyou from being a child.
"Stand down!" The emperor couldn't bear it anymore and pointed at these people, "I'm only worried now, if the two taxes can't be collected, who will be responsible?" ”
Du You and the others were all frightened and could only withdraw one after another.
At this moment, on the side of the small pavilion under the side wall of the Daming Palace, Tang An, who was wearing the colorful clothes of the Shaoyang Courtyard, held the scroll and kept clapping his palms, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gao Yue stood three feet away from her.
Now Tang An pretended to be a eunuch and directly found Gao Yue in the name of asking for a book, which was very convenient.
"Senior high school, the special version you wrote before is good, it is the role of Princess Yiyang that you inserted in it, will you marry Fan Jingluo in the future?" Tang An is interfering with the plot of the "special version" again at the moment.
But she didn't hear Gao Yue's answer.
Tang An, who was a little angry, looked back at Gao Yue.
saw that Gao Yue's face was a little ugly, he was wearing a patched imperial official uniform, and his body seemed to be trembling.
"What's wrong with you in your third year of high school?" Tang An's voice became louder because of worry.
"No, it's nothing, it's just that I've eaten a little little bit these days." As soon as Gao Yue finished speaking, he collapsed to the ground.
"Senior year of high school!"
"What? Gao Yue, who was waiting for the hospital, collapsed and collapsed because of the loss of food in the past few days? Li Shi, who returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, was also stunned when he heard the news.
Tan Zhizhong, who came to report the news, sighed and said: "Princess Tang An is kind, and she has sent a portion of her meal to the waiting yard, and Gao Yue is no longer in serious trouble after he is full. But Your Majesty, it is not only Gao Yue who is waiting for the courtyard, but also many young officials, who originally did not have much money, but now they are responding to His Majesty's thrift, and Gao Yue is just one of them. ”
