Zhao Junsheng said with a smile after reading the report: "I didn't expect Murong Ju to think of such a method as an entry point, and successfully opened the iron network that those local officials painstakingly managed, and then let's see how Murong Ju crushes this iceberg!" ”

Lin Jinghui asked, "Your Majesty, is the black-clothed guard going to continue to investigate this case in depth?" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it for a while, and felt that this seemed to be a waste of resources, he waved his hand and said: "No need, don't forget your black-clothed guard's main business, you just need to pay attention to this case, and report to me every few days on the progress of Murong Ju's investigation of this case!" ”

"No!"

In fact, according to Zhao Junsheng's original intention, it should be asked Yu Shitai to send someone to investigate, and it is justified for Yu Shitai to investigate this kind of case, but he did not do it, just because for so many years, there have never been rumors that officials have embezzled money for the treatment of the river, which is extremely abnormal, even if the account of the use of funds is transparent, it will be questioned, and any court appropriation has people pay attention to its use process, but the use of river funds has not been doubted by others.

So is Yushitai too slack in this matter? Or did someone in the Imperial Observatory silence all doubts? Or was the Imperial History sent to the relevant area dragged down by those local officials?

Thinking of this, Zhao Junsheng couldn't sit still, he was really worried that something would go wrong with Yushitai.

"Come on, set up the Wenhua Palace!"

The two eunuchs opened the way in front, and accompanied by the great eunuch Kang Yide, Zhao Junsheng came to the dossier hall of the Wenhua Palace.

The Wenhua Hall has a collection of more than one million volumes of ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, as well as a large number of oracle bones, bamboo slips, rubbings, which is equivalent to a large library, and there is also a dossier hall in the Wenhua Palace, where all the files of the officials and generals of the Great Cadres are stored and many confidential files.

Newly built after the relocation of the capital to Chang'an, this dossier has three floors, the first floor houses the files of ministers, officials and generals, and the second and third floors store confidential files.

The other library pavilions of the Wenhua Palace, people in the imperial family can enter to read, but can not take away or borrow, but the dossier hall is not good, if you want to enter the dossier, you can only get the permission of the emperor, and you must be accompanied and supervised by the eunuch who manages the dossier, and can only consult the relevant dossier, not other archives.

The whole Wenhua hall is ventilated, dry, but there are corresponding fire prevention equipment, there are several wells and many wooden basins and barrels around the main hall, once a fire occurs, the eunuchs and maids in the palace can quickly rush to fight the fire.

The eunuchs who worked in the dossier hall were carrying out their daily work, they took out some files, wooden slips and bamboo slips to dry, which could prevent moisture and repel insects on a daily basis, and play a role in maintaining the dossier files, some of which were too old and needed to be copied again.

After Zhao Junsheng arrived at the door of the Dossier Pavilion, the eunuchs who were doing things bowed down one after another, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng instructed the eunuch in charge of the Dossier Pavilion: "I will come and check the dossier, and everyone will continue to do things!" ”

"No!" The steward and eunuch agreed, waved their hands to the eunuchs, and everyone continued to be busy.

Zhao Junsheng walked into the dossier hall, and at a glance, rows of bookshelves were placed on the first floor of the museum, and a large number of files were placed on each row of bookshelves, all of which were personnel file files, which were divided into two large areas, namely the official offices directly under the imperial court and the local officials, and the two regions were divided into several small areas.

The steward and eunuch hurriedly followed and whispered: "I don't know what file Your Majesty wants to inquire about, the slave is willing to find out for Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said as he walked: "I want to check the official files sent by the Imperial Historical Observatory to the counties along the lower reaches of the Yellow River in the last ten years!" ”

"The slave understands, please wait a moment!" The steward eunuch agreed, turned around and said a few words to the eunuchs.

The eunuchs acted quickly, and soon brought a large stack of booklets, each of which recorded the origin of an official, the family members who went back more than four generations and remembered clearly, as well as their in-laws, relatives and social relations, and also recorded the official's tenure, promotion history, meritorious achievements, and negligence punishment, such as who their superiors were during their tenure in a certain position, what colleagues they had, and such a file even recorded the promotion, demotion, and demotion of the official's superiors and colleagues during the period of the office. The records of the dismissal contain comments against the official at the beginning of the file, written by the person in charge of investigating the official, and the comments describe the person's character, conduct in the world, his official position, and his thoughts and speeches.

Zhao Junsheng looked at such a large stack of archives and had a headache when he looked at it, so he asked, "Which are the imperial history files responsible for investigating the appropriation for river management?" ”

A eunuch opened the books one by one and put aside the books that met Zhao Junsheng's requirements.

Zhao Junsheng took out a volume and looked at it, the official information recorded on it was much more detailed than the official information in the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and the privacy of many officials was recorded on it, and it was impossible to see it in the official files of the Ministry of Officials.

There are more than 20 volumes in total, Zhao Junsheng spent a moment reading them, and he found a very strange thing, these imperial histories did not find problems in the use of funds in the process of investigating the allocation of funds for river management, but found other problems of some officials.

After reading it, Zhao Junsheng asked, "There is nothing else besides these?" In ten years, there are so many areas along the lower reaches of the Yellow River, how could the Imperial History Observatory only send out more than 20 imperial histories? ”

The eunuch in charge immediately turned his head and asked the eunuch who was looking for the file, "What's the matter?" ”

The eunuch replied: "Naturally, there are more than these, and there are also some imperial histories who have died because they died in office, so the files of this kind of dead officials are stored separately and are not here!" ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned: "Go and bring over the files of those dead imperial histories!" ”

"No!"

Soon, the eunuchs took out more than 20 volumes of files, Zhao Junsheng read them one by one, and when he finished reading, he found a frightening fact, only three of the more than 20 dead imperial histories died of illness in office, and the others all died accidentally or were assassinated in office, some capsized and drowned while riding a boat, some were burned by fire, some fell from a horse while riding a horse and died, and some were killed by the sudden collapse of a house; There are also those who suddenly rushed out and stabbed to death while on patrol, some were assassinated by assassins, and some died in the Qinglou.

The more Zhao Junsheng looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, it was not strange that Yushi was assassinated, they must have touched the interests of some people during the investigation, and probed the ulterior privacy of some people, so they attracted the disaster of killing; But so many accidental deaths are quite unusual.

None of the assassination cases have been solved, and those accidental deaths have all been identified as accidental deaths by the officials sent by the Criminal Department to investigate, and there is no doubt about murder or assassination, and there are two cases in which the murderer confessed to it, and the death of the deceased was a vendetta.

If there is nothing wrong with this, even a three-year-old child will not believe it.

If Zhao Junsheng hadn't connected these files to check them, he would never have thought that there was such a big problem here, and it could not be said that the officials of the Criminal Department were not dedicated and did not fulfill their duties, but they did not unite these accidental death cases at all, let alone think of this.

Zhao Junsheng had a chilling feeling, and he was even more determined to investigate this case, he wanted to see what the truth was, if there was no one in the court to act as a protective umbrella for those local officials, and he would not believe it, because without the powerful ministers of the court, it was impossible to suppress the various problems with the allocation and use of river control funds over the years, the key is who is this person?

Also, is there a problem with the investigation officer sent by the Criminal Department?

Returning to the Qinzheng Hall from the Dossier Pavilion, Zhao Junsheng's mind could not calm down for a long time.

"Your Majesty!"

A voice brought Zhao Junsheng back to his senses, he looked up and saw that it was a eunuch, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The eunuch took out a recital: "Your Majesty, this is a recital sent by Murong Ju, and it is a secret playbook!" ”

Zhao Junsheng's heart jumped, as the minister of the Qin Mission, Murong Ju automatically has the right to play secretly, there is no doubt about this, generally speaking, if Murong Ju wants to have a recital, he should go through the political department, so it is more responsible for the regulations and procedures, but he chose the secret performance, which shows that he is worried about leaking the news, he is not worried about the local officials, those people have not been able to check his secret music, and their hands cannot reach out to the court, and the news he is worried about will leak in the court.

"It seems that Murong Ju also suspects that the important ministers in the court are involved in this matter, otherwise Murong Ju would not have used secret music!"

Zhao Junsheng's eyes flashed with a gleam, he opened the secret music and looked at it, it turned out that Murong Ju had found out a lot of problems, involving many officials, but at present, disaster relief was being carried out over there, and it was already late autumn, the weather was getting cooler and colder, if the housing and livelihood problems of hundreds of thousands of homeless people could not be solved before the cold winter came, many people would freeze to death and starve to death this winter.

If Murong Ju investigates and punishes the relevant officials, he is worried that it will affect the effect and speed of disaster relief, and he will not be able to solve the problem of hundreds of thousands of people in the winter when the cold winter is coming.

This is just a more euphemistic statement of Murong Ju in the secret recital, he is actually worried that the affected people will rebel.

Now that the plague that broke out in the disaster area has been controlled, Murong Ju asked in the secret recital to mobilize the officials who immediately garrisoned to assist in supporting the disaster relief to rebuild the houses of the affected people, solve their housing problems first, and at the same time this move can also play a role in maintaining security and stability.

The mobilization of the local town garrison army also has a role in preventing those officials who have been investigated from jumping over the wall in a hurry to mobilize the county soldiers and county soldiers to launch a rebellion.

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote a quasi-word on the secret music, and handed it to the eunuch: "Send someone to Murong Ju immediately!" ”

"No!"
