Zhang Lingyang, who is 'sick', rarely gets up early.

After dressing and grooming under the service of the palace maid, Zhang Lingyang walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

After moving his body, Zhang Lingyang returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall and had breakfast.

After breakfast, Zhang Lingyang began to have nothing to do, so he called Sun Sheng and asked him to go to Yuefu to call a few music girls.

Here, Sun Sheng had just walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then hurriedly returned, "Long live the Lord, Zhang Zhiyuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, Zhou Shanning, the secretary of the ministry, Zheng Yongji, the secretary of the household department, and Chen Yiming, the secretary of the criminal department, jointly ask to see!" ”

As soon as he heard that the four of them got up together, Zhang Lingyang hurriedly ran to the bed, took off his boots, and then lay down on the bed, "Quickly announce the meeting of a few Aiqing!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Lingyang put a blanket next to him on his body.

After a while, Sun Sheng took Zhang Zhiyuan and the four of them into the Heart Cultivation Palace.

At this time, Zhang Lingyang was lying on the bed weakly, moaning in pain from time to time, and people who didn't know the situation thought that Zhang Lingyang was really sick.

The corners of Sun Sheng's mouth couldn't help jumping, and then he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Zhang Lingyang.

He was afraid that if he looked at it again, he would burst out laughing.

"How many Aiqing are here? Sun Sheng, take a seat! Zhang Lingyang, who was on the bed, said weakly, and wanted to get up from the bed.

Seeing this, Sun Sheng gave a look to the little eunuch in the hall, then quickly ran to the side of the bed, helped Zhang Lingyang up, and then put a pillow behind Zhang Lingyang.

"Ahem......" coughed several times in a row, and Zhang Lingyang asked 'weakly': "Several Aiqing came together, but what happened in the court?" ”

Zhang Lingyang's eyes were full of care.

The few people who just sat down, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't know how to answer.

Because according to the disciples, someone had seen a saint in casual clothes in front of the Tai'an restaurant the day before yesterday.

And the holy look was very good at that time.

"Isn't the Holy One pretending to be sick? But really sick? At this time, the same thought could not help but rise in the hearts of several people.

After several people glanced at each other, Zhang Zhiyuan, who was the first assistant to the cabinet, had to speak: "Your Majesty, the case about Yangzhou Salt has almost been tried, and the ministers are hereby to show your Majesty!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Lingyang asked, "What is the result?" Are there innocent people among them? ”

"After verification, Liu Wenxuan, the former secretary of the household department, has nothing to do with this case, and was purely frame......d by Qian Du" Zhang Zhiyuan informed Zhang Lingyang of Liu Wenxuan's affairs one by one, and then said: "Your Majesty, since it has been confirmed that Liu Wenxuan has nothing to do with this case, should he be acquitted?" ”

Zhang Lingyang nodded and said, "Since Liu Wenxuan really has nothing to do with this case, let's acquit him!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Zhiyuan complimented and asked, "Then I don't know what to do with the other people involved in the case?" ”

"Except for Qin Sijie, the rest of the people involved in the case were beheaded to show the public, in order to set an example!

As for Qin Sijie, he was ordered to stay at home and confiscated half of his family property! ”

There is no opinion on this.

After all, no one who can get to where they are today is pedantic.

What's more, Qin Sijie is just a small fish and shrimp to them, and they can't cause the saint's unhappiness because of him.

"There is one more thing that requires His Majesty to be arbitrary!" Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"What's the matter, Zhang Aiqing will come first!" Zhang Lingyang said.

"Your Majesty, according to the interrogation of the three law divisions, the ministers found that Qian Du, the former commander of the Jinyi guard, had accepted bribes in Yangzhou and extorted money from salt merchants, according to the account books of thirteen salt merchants and the inventory, Qian Du received a total of more than 10 million taels of stolen silver during his stay in Yangzhou, all of which were deposited into the HSBC ticket number.

After the three legal divisions interrogated the shopkeeper of the Beijing branch of the HSBC ticket number, according to the shopkeeper's confession, after Qian Du's death, his bill with the HSBC ticket number had been transferred to Feng Xi, the governor of the East Factory.

In addition, Feng Xi has withdrawn 2 million taels of cash in the HSBC ticket number.

Feng Xi lived up to the grace of the saint, took advantage of the grace of the saint to do whatever he wanted, was insatiable, concealed the stolen money, and the ministers thought that Feng Xi should be corrected on the spot to show warning! ”

Seeing Zhang Zhiyuan say this, Zhang Lingyang's face was a little gloomy, but he secretly said "bad" in his heart.

Since Zhang Zhiyuan and the others already knew that Feng Xi went to collect the HSBC ticket number, it was obvious that they also knew that it was instructed by themselves.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiyuan vaguely said the suggestion that Feng Xi should be corrected on the spot.

But there are still 8 million taels of silver in the HSBC ticket number, how can Zhang Lingyang be willing to return it to the treasury?

Simply, Zhang Lingyang simply admitted: "Feng Xi went to the HSBC ticket number to collect the silver, and he really ordered him to go!" ”

"......" Zhang Zhiyuan and the others saw that the saint actually admitted that he had done it, and he was Sparta.

They sat there motionless like chickens, like stone carvings.

Zhang Lingyang explained: "On that day, I ordered Feng Xi to go to Jinyiwei Prison to interrogate Qian Du, but he refused to confess, so I went to interrogate him personally.

During the interrogation, Qian Du confessed to his past crimes, but he did not suffer from the misfortune to his family, so he only executed Qian Du and released his family.

As for the 10 million taels of silver in the HSBC ticket number, Qian Du took the initiative to explain to me.

It was also ordered by Feng Xi to go to the HSBC ticket number to collect the money.

In this regard, I wonder if a few Aiqing have any opinions? ”

"The ministers dare not have any objections!" A few people replied, and Zhang Zhiyuan said again: "Your Majesty, according to the previous rules, should the 10 million taels of silver in the HSBC ticket number belong to the treasury?" ”

"What treasury, treasury?" Zhang Lingyang waved his hand disappreciatively, "Aren't they all my silver?" Where is it different? ”

"Besides, when the treasury was short of silver, didn't I also allocate a large amount of silver from the treasury to the household?"

"Let me put the money in the treasury first, and when there is no more money in the treasury, I will allocate it to the treasury.

Otherwise, it will be troublesome to move the silver around! ”

"Can that be the same?" Hearing this, several ministers were very unwilling in their hearts, and thought: "Your Majesty, you did allocate more than 600,000 taels of silver to the household department.

But the 600,000 taels of silver is only a fraction of the silver stored in the HSBC ticket number. Is there anyone who does this for you?

Besides, it's easy to say that the money has entered your inner money, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to get the silver back from your inner money again! ”

However, they only dared to say this in their hearts, and did not dare to say it to their faces.

"No objection to the ministers!" Zhang Zhiyuan and the others glanced at each other again, and finally could only compromise with Zhang Lingyang.
