52. Make up your mind
At this time, Zheng Wen was in the imperial study, carefully reviewing the folds.
At this time, Huang An walked in and said to Zheng Wen: "Your Majesty, Lord Yin Yang Boyang of Yanjing Mansion asks to see you." ”
Zheng Wen didn't raise his head, still reviewing the folds, but he said, "Let him come in!" ”
After a while, Yang Bo came to Zheng Wen and saluted Zheng Wen, who was reviewing the folds, before he said in an anxious tone: "Your Majesty, something is wrong. ”
"Oh, what's the big deal?" Zheng Wen stopped the pen in his hand, glanced up at Yang Bo, and then spoke.
"Your Majesty, this is the one that the minister found in Lord Guo's study that he has not yet played, you can see for yourself!" After speaking, he put the sealable fold in front of Zheng Wen's table.
Zheng Wen's face remained unchanged, so he picked up a book and read it, reading it one by one, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and he was angry, but his complexion remained the same.
Zheng Wen looked at it again, and his face became more and more serious.
After a long while, Zheng Wencai spoke loudly: "Huang An, pass on my order, let the cabinet minister and Yang Bo come to see me!" ”
Yang Bo looked at Zheng Wen's face, but he was a little heavy, but he felt a little strange in his heart, such a big matter, isn't His Majesty angry and worried? Or His Majesty has already managed to be happy and angry, if so, this eighteen-year-old Emperor His Majesty is definitely a figure not to be underestimated.
After a while, the eight cabinet ministers and Yang Bo arrived at the imperial study and saluted Zheng Wen in unison.
Zheng Wen sat on the imperial chair and quietly watched the nine people finish saluting before he stood up, picked up the five books and threw them hard in front of the nine people.
He shouted and asked: "Look, look, you corpse vegetarians, how much hope I have in my heart, how much disappointment I have in my heart!" ”
"I thought you were the backbone of the country, the pillars of the great cadres, and the example of the ministers, but I thought you were stupid and sinners!"
At this time, Zheng Wen was furious, and he scolded these nine people!
As soon as these nine people saw Zheng Wen like this, they hurriedly knelt down in unison, and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Obviously, getting along with Zheng Wen these days, they know that they are afraid that something will provoke the majesty in front of them, otherwise this majesty would not be so angry and scolding them in person.
And Yang Bo, who was standing on the side, was dumbfounded, and his heart was also shocked, he didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor, who was lame, only eighteen years old, and had just ascended the throne, was so powerful, and when he got angry, these big guys who usually could only look up to him knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Just now he couldn't guess His Majesty's thoughts, and he thought he wasn't angry, but it turned out that he wasn't angry, but he was just a little shrimp in His Majesty's eyes, and it wasn't enough for His Majesty to be angry with himself. He had to kneel down with the nine bigwigs, otherwise it would be too conspicuous to stand.
"Forgiveness, I want to forgive my sins, but can you make me forgive my sins?"
At this time, Zheng Wen is anger bubbled out one after another, if this anger can burn substantially, I am afraid that the entire Daming Palace will be burned!
Liu Jianjian is the head of the hundred officials, kneeling on the ground, picking up the folds, reading them one by one, after reading it, it is cloudy and sunny, with a serious face, although he has long known that there is a behavior of reselling grain, but he did not expect it to have reached such a point, the deficit is so serious, the granaries of Daqian in various places are afraid that they are empty, although it is only Guo Cheng's speculation, but Liu Jian does not doubt it, because Guo Cheng is a talented person in his heart, and he is not a person who speaks big, and Guo Cheng is dead, and the folds he wrote before his death will never be fake, And Liu Jian guessed in his heart that Guo Cheng's death was inseparable from this.
Of course, Liu Jian didn't say it, and it didn't need to be said, he only passed it to Qin Fei, and after a while, Qin Fei passed it on to others, and after a while, the nine people read it together.
Their faces are cloudy, and they all have more or less heard about the reselling of grain, but they didn't expect it to be so serious, no wonder His Majesty would be so angry with them, just pointing at their noses and scolding "you fools"!
Obviously, they were not wronged by this scolding, because they turned a blind eye to the behavior of grain reselling, and only thought that such a trivial matter was not surprising, they had seen a lot when they were young, and they never cared about it, but they didn't expect it to make such a big mistake!
So they had to kneel on the ground and say nothing.
"What's wrong? Talk? Why don't you speak? You court officials, old foxes in officialdom, don't you usually speak so well? Why don't you speak? Deaf? Blind? ”
At this time, Zheng Wen turned on the poisonous tongue mode, and said a lot of ugly words, but the nine people kneeling on the ground seemed to be really deaf, their faces remained unchanged, and they just didn't say a word.
Yang Bo, who was kneeling next to him, was harsh when he heard it, he didn't expect His Majesty to be able to say so much, and he was so venomous, but what made him admire even more was the kneeling nine people, as if they hadn't heard it at all, their faces remained unchanged, and they didn't say a word, but they thought in their hearts when he would be able to reach the cheeky mode of these nine, and he would probably be able to mix in the high position of the six Shangshu, it seems that his face is still not thick enough.
Zheng Wen probably said that he was tired, so he sat on the chair again, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, calmed down for a while, and then said: "Liu Jian, as the prime minister, the head of the hundred officials, what do you say I should do?" ”
Liu Jian listened, and his heart was also helpless, as the prime minister, he usually came to the scenery, and at this time he was the first bird, so he had to reluctantly open his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, in the eyes of the minister, the granary of the great cadres has reached the time when it has to be rectified, the court should strike hard, ruthlessly rectify and check all the granaries of the great cadres, and the lost grain should be recovered. ”
Although Liu Jian's tone of words was calm, the murderous aura revealed in his words made Wu Yong, a general who walked out of the sea of corpses and blood, also feel a trembling heart!
Not to mention the others, even Zheng Wen was surprised in his heart!
At this time, Wang Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, also said in a loud voice: "Liu Xiang is right, Your Majesty, it's time to rectify, the old minister, as the secretary of the ministry, also implores Your Majesty to issue an edict, it's time for the officials to be completely rectified!" ”
And Wang Yong's opening completely shocked everyone, when did this old man become so radical, isn't it usually hello, hello, hello, everyone, don't you look like you don't show your scarf or water?
And at this time, Wang Yong's heart was, hum, it's time for the old man to exert his power, the old man is the secretary of the ministry, and he is the first existence in the six departments, and if you don't speak, you people are afraid that you have forgotten the existence of the old man, I am afraid that you think that the old man is just a good old man, and if you don't speak, Your Majesty, you are afraid that you have forgotten the existence of the old man, it is time for the big cadres to see the prestige of the old man, and it is time for the old man to show his sense of existence in front of His Majesty!
At this time, Sun Hua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also spoke: "Your Majesty, it's time to rectify!" ”
Wu Yong also opened his mouth and said: "Only Your Majesty's order is obeyed!" ”
Yang Bo also said: "Your Majesty, it's time to rectify, the old minister only obeys His Majesty's orders!" ”
Zhou Kuo also said: "Your Majesty ordered, the Criminal Department can enter this battle at any time!" ”
The others also spoke one after another, but the answers were almost the same, asking Zheng Wen to order the rectification of the officials and a thorough investigation of the granary!
When Zheng Wen heard this, he was still very excited in his heart, although these people have this and that shortcoming, they are generally loyal to the great cadres, and they have such a heart to be loyal to the court.
So, Zheng Wen sat on the chair and pondered for a long time before he said loudly: "Okay! Even if all the important ministers have opened their mouths to let me issue an edict to rectify it, then I am not a cowardly person, so let's rectify it! ”
"Liu Jian!"
"The minister is here!"
"Wang Yong!"
"The minister is here!"
"Zhou Kuo!"
"The minister is here!"
"Yang Bo!"
"The minister is here!" Yang Bo was excited, he didn't expect to be in the same column with these bigwigs, even if it was just mentioned in His Majesty's mouth, Yang Bo was still very excited in his heart, so he said in a loud voice.
"With Liu Jian as the main envoy, Wang Yong, Zhou Kuo, and Yang Bo as the deputy envoys, let the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Three Law Divisions, the Yulin Army, and the Jinyi Wei assist in thoroughly investigating the case of the loss of the granary of the Great Cadres!"
"Wang Yong took the officials to thoroughly investigate the officialdom of the cadres, from the center to the localities, and thoroughly rectify the rule of officials!"
"Zhou Kuo took the Three Law Divisions to re-investigate Di Ping's case, and cooperate with the actions of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households!"
"Yang Bo, from now on, you are the head of the household, leading the household department to thoroughly check the granaries of all parts of the country!"
"Yang Bo, you take the Shuntian Mansion to thoroughly investigate Guo Cheng's case, I want to see who is so bold and dares to kill the court officials so blatantly!"
"Liu Jian, I take you as the prime minister, coordinate in the middle, and thoroughly clean up the officialdom!"
"I, I also want to return the world to a bright future!"
"No!"
"No"
"No!"
Underneath was the sound of promises.
"Alright, let's all get up!" Zheng Wen spoke again.
The ten kneeling men stood up in unison.
At this time, Zheng Wen said with some seriousness: "All the Qings are the ministers of my great cadre, you must pay close attention to these things, be strict, and return my great cadres to a piece of bright blue sky!" ”
"It has been less than two months since I ascended the throne, to be honest, I am tired, first the Mongols attacked Shanhaiguan, then the emperor's tomb, and then the Ma Yuan Diping case, and now Guo Cheng is dead, and it involves the deficit of the granary, it is really eventful!"
"I'm also please, don't lose hope!"
"No!"
Everyone looked at Zheng Wen, who was a little tired, and there was still a trace of distress in their hearts, this eighteen-year-old majesty, since he ascended the throne, he has encountered only as difficult as Emperor Taizong, as many as much, and this majesty, who had no power at the beginning of his accession to the throne, can completely control the court situation in less than two months, they still admire it in their hearts!
Since then, the Great Qianchao has opened the curtain on the thorough rectification of the rule of officials.
