As always, before the emperor made any decision, rumors spread in the capital again, and even described the process of Haiguanyu's bribery. In comparison, the rumors of corruption and perversion of the law on He Furong's side seem insignificant. Due to Hai Guanyu's extremely high reputation, the people are still skeptical about this kind of gossip that catches the wind and shadows, but the people who do good things are clamoring, as if it is a great credit to pull the Hai family down.

The common people could ignore it, but the courtiers reacted differently. The He Xiao family, who are usually calling for wind and rain, died down at the same time, although the Hai family did not form a party for personal gain, but the forces under the stage were far stronger than them, and they could not be easily provoked. He Furong didn't wash himself and couldn't take care of others, while Xiao Yunchao was worried about the in-law relationship between his nephew and the Hai family, and he didn't want to lose his arm because of trivial things. The DPRK and China did not react at all for a while, and even Feng Wuyan, who wanted to wade into troubled waters, and other people with ulterior motives did not dare to show their heads easily. Everyone knows that once this matter is fully revealed, it will be another storm.

Hai Guanyu looked at the dusty one in his hand and let out a long sigh. Sun Yong is really a genius of gift-giving, and a full 200,000 taels of silver tickets are embellished in a thick "Diamond Sutra". Knowing that he was a great Confucian and sent this thing, Bei Yong must have calculated it in advance, because it was copied by the famous monk Fayuan himself, Haiguanyu remembered the compassion of this monk and accepted it, thinking that horizontal and vertical are not valuable things, but he didn't expect to be on the way.

Haiguanyu shook his head, throwing the Diamond Sutra far away on the ground like a hot potato, and there was a wave of fear in his heart. I didn't give this set of things to others in the first place. Otherwise, once it is revealed, it will be even more troublesome, how to deal with it now? He knew that the emperor should not be gullible about this, but the public opinion of the government and the opposition had to be guarded against. Although several protégés visited the door today, they comforted that no one had mentioned these rumors. But no matter how you think about it, the mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings, and Jiahai Guanyu suddenly stood up and slowly walked to the front of the scripture. Bent down and pick it up.

"Someone, go and ask the young master to come over." He shouted. After a while, a respectful reply came from outside the door: "Back to the master, the young master has already gone out to meet the text." Hai Guanyu came to his senses and smiled to himself. Reluctantly, he commanded: "It's none of your business, just wait outside the door." ”

"What a nerd!" Haiguanyu shook his head and sighed, and began to check the Diamond Sutra again. The 200,000 taels of silver tickets are extremely hidden, and if you don't look closely, you really can't see the clues.

In addition, this Diamond Sutra is just a bunch of scriptures, and he won't check it at all. Is it to write an excerpt or go directly to the saint? Hai Guanyu thought hard about how to deal with it, and his eyes suddenly lit up, could it be that the emperor's delay in news meant that?

"Come on, prepare a sedan chair, I want to enter the palace to face the saint!" Hai Guanyu rushed to the door in a few steps. He opened the door, "Tell me to go down and hurry up and prepare for the court clothes." Be quick! ”

Haifu, which had been tossed for a while, suddenly became busy again, Haiguanyu had been on leave for several months to recuperate at home, and rarely entered the palace in his spare time, but the emperor gave some precious medicinal materials from time to time. He also often sent Shi Liushun to visit. Now that the lord suddenly ordered to enter the palace, these subordinates were a little frightened. A few days ago, the matter of vigorously inspecting the old items in the house has not passed, is there really any turmoil that cannot be avoided? The Haifu family rules are strict, and they naturally don't dare to spread rumors, but they have heard a lot of rumors, so they are still worried about the future of this Nuoda Mansion.

The reappearance of the Haijia's luxurious green tweed official sedan chair suddenly made the people talk about it again, in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the official sedan chair carried by eight people is really rare, and even a few princes will not sit and swagger through the market, after all, it is too much to see. However, Hai Guanyu has received special gifts from the emperor by virtue of the prestige of the old ministers of the two dynasties, and he can use eight people to carry him at any time, which is undoubtedly a great favor. Since he was sick, this green sedan chair has never been used, and today's exception is inevitably another big deal in the eyes of those who care.

"Weichen see the emperor." Haiguanyu has no psychology to understand the minds of outsiders, compared to those gossips, the emperor's intention is undoubtedly the most important.

"Hai Lao Aiqing, please get up." There was an unusual politeness in the Emperor's words. He ordered Shi Liushun to help Haiguanyu up, and specially pointed to a rather comfortable chair to place him, and then sent away all the people who were waiting. "You've been recuperating in the mansion for so many days, I'm afraid you're going to enter the palace today for that matter?"

Of course, Hai Guanyu knew that he couldn't hide this supreme from his actions in the mansion, so he hurriedly stood up in fear, and said with a look of shame: "It's all the negligence of Weichen, which bothered the emperor." Wei Chen thought it was an insignificant frame, but out of caution, he searched the mansion, and who expected that he really found that thing. The evidence is conclusive, and Weichen really has nothing to say. ”

This and his heart-wrenching words suddenly made the emperor frown, Hai Guanyu What is this

Do you want to think? "Hai Lao Aiqing, your innocence is well known to the government and the opposition, if you are just an unintentional mistake, I will not blame you at will. What I want to know is that the amount of 200,000 taels of silver tickets is huge, how did Sun Yong send them to the door unnoticed? His voice couldn't help but raise a little.

Even if he didn't pretend, Hai Guanyu's face showed a very embarrassed expression. "Back to the emperor, Bei Yong once gave Weichen a lot of scriptures, saying that the senior monk Fayuan personally copied them and prayed for the people. Although Weichen did not believe in gods and Buddhas, he met with the master once, and he could understand his compassion very much, and he also raised a lot of silver, so he only thought it was his kindness and did not study it deeply. Unexpectedly, Sun Yong took this opportunity to put 200,000 taels of silver tickets into it as a bribe, which was really the sin of Weichen. Hai Guanyu couldn't stand anymore, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Weichen deserves to die for his crimes, and I implore the emperor to surrender." ”

The emperor really didn't know what to say, everything Hai Guanyu said was really dramatic, although he trusted this old minister quite a lot, but there were still doubts in his heart. He left the throne and walked in front of Hai Guanyu, looked at this elder of the two dynasties deeply, tried his best to restrain his tone, and asked quietly: "Hai Lao Aiqing, it's not that I don't believe your words, but things are really bizarre. You should have brought that Diamond Sutra, can you let me take a look? ”

How dare Haiguanyu say no, he took out the book wrapped in white silk from his arms and presented it. He had already made up his mind, since the DPRK and China were really not peaceful enough, it was better to retreat as advance.

The emperor casually flipped through the neatly copied Diamond Sutra, occasionally revealing a strange look. He had almost concluded that it was indeed the work of the high monk, and then, the silver ticket that was mixed in with it was really difficult to dispose of. It can be seen that the initiator has spent a lot of effort, both in terms of technique and needlework, and the needle and thread are extremely ingenious, and the careless person really can't see it. So what does Sun Yong mean, is he really willing to bribe or has other plans? This sudden thought of the question made the emperor's face change greatly, and his heart, which had almost been determined, became restless again.

Glancing at Hai Guanyu, who was still kneeling on the ground, the emperor sighed deeply and stepped forward to help him up. "You're old, and besides, this matter is still inconclusive, so don't take it personally." The emperor himself didn't know if these words were insincere, in short, he almost forcefully pressed Hai Guanyu on the chair, "The only thing I want to know is, in addition to Sun Yong's close contacts with the Hai family and the He family, does there any other senior or suspicious person who has close contacts?" ”

Hai Guanyu was obviously confused, although he hated Sun Yong's meanness, he didn't think about other aspects, after all, facing the Shanghai family head-on was not a wise opponent that should choose. It has been several years since this Vajra Sutra was delivered, and if you had been planning it since that time, the complexity would have been far greater than expected. "Your Majesty, do you mean ......" There was a hint of fear in his eyes, the heirs of the Hai family were too weak, and he couldn't think about them.

"I mean that someone has set up the game early, waiting for me to take the bait step by step, including you, of course!" The emperor didn't care about any words at this time, and said with a pale face, "Sun Yong sent the 200,000 taels of silver, if it was for bribery, he wouldn't hide it from you." But if he had other thoughts, then this strange behavior could be explained, and perhaps the money was not his. ”

Rao is Haiguanyu has always been calm and self-controlled, but he was so surprised at this time that he couldn't help himself, and even the words that he was ready to resign and retire at the beginning were all forgotten. Sun Yong chose the worst time to expose this matter, which cannot but be said to be the biggest mistake of the people behind the scenes. If someone else exposed the matter in court or in a compromise, it might still be effective. For the emperor's hard work, Hai Guanyu has always had unusual trust, and this time it is the same reason.

"Your Majesty, the plan now is to expose this person as soon as possible. However, in order to deal with the increasingly fierce rumors, he also asked the emperor to immediately issue an edict to punish the micro-ministers, so as not to leave people to speak. "Now that he has made up his mind, Hai Guanyu no longer thinks about personal gains and losses, and he is much more fluent in his words, after all, he has too many disadvantages to deal with." This person was able to make this secret move in advance, obviously he had a plan, and he might have colluded with many ministers of the DPRK and China. He is hidden in the shadows, and if he does not move, once he mutinies, I am afraid that it will endanger the court! Hai Guanyu couldn't hide his worries at all, he was sensitive as a courtier and not a god king for stabilizing the country, but he still grasped the center of the problem.

The Emperor turned around, his eyes full of sparkle, and the meaning of ridicule was fully revealed. "Since they have chosen to challenge my authority, they might as well try what Thunder Fury is." He pondered for a long time before continuing, "Just according to Hai Lao Aiqing's words, but I really want to wronged you." ”

Hai Guanyu hurriedly left his seat and knelt down, bowed his head deeply and said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Weichen will never let people with ulterior motives cause trouble!" "Lingyun Zhiwei Without a Trace Chapter 5 Party Struggle Chapter 32 Monarchs and Ministers
