Chapter Ninety-Five: Dig a Little Pit
Back at the Thousand Households, Li Yan recalled Emperor Hongzhi's words and deeds, and had already expressed his dissatisfaction with some people openly and secretly.
As for why Emperor Hongzhi was dissatisfied, the sentence 'You are not short of money' is an obvious signal.
Emperor Hongzhi did not allow officials to be greedy, but some people were too greedy, which had seriously affected the country, and the trouble was almost to the point that the people would mutiny.
Emperor Hongzhi can't bear it anymore, you can be greedy, what does it mean that you corrupt my country? And have my people been detached?
Emperor Hongzhi's move is a signal, he is going to show his sword, some people, you wash your neck first and get ready.
As for why so many big officials in the court don't use it, they just have to check with a thousand households of Jinyiwei, there is no shortage of silver is one aspect, and another more important reason is because Li Yi's foundation is clean, not only Li Yi's foundation is clean, but his father-in-law Sun Mao's foundation is cleaner than his own.
Such a person who looks very clean in every way is of course the first choice to do things for Emperor Hongzhi, not to mention that he still has a good relationship with Zhu Houzhao, and he goes out to fight together when he has nothing to do.
Li Yan didn't believe that Emperor Hongzhi didn't know that he went out to make trouble with Zhu Houzhao, the dignified prince, I don't know how many guards there are secretly around him on weekdays, as for why Emperor Hongzhi didn't mention this matter, Li Yan doesn't know.
The emperor's mental technique, who can say clearly.
As for expediency, Li Yan is even more satisfied, expediency, no matter how far this matter is done, it belongs to the category of expediency, as for how big this category is, Li Yan can make it as big as he wants.
With confidence, Li Yan also began to act, slapped the table, and called Zhao Shun in.
"Jinyi Wei knelt down to 100 households Zhao Shun listened to the order, and gave the Jinyi Wei to the left capital Yu Shi Yan Maoqing, and the thousands of households should visit in person!"
The so-called driving sticker,It's a saying in Jinyiwei.,In layman's terms, Jinyiwei wants to check you.,You quickly open the door to greet you.,And by the way, take care of the aftermath.,Anyway, you've got a lot of time.。
The name of Jinyiwei is still very good.
As soon as he heard that Jinyi Wei Qianhu personally drove the sticker, Yan Maoqing was waiting for him in the hall very early, but his attitude was not too good.
"Hahaha...... I have heard the name of Yan Gong for a long time, and it is better to see it than to hear it, but today I know that Yan Gong is a good character, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation. Li Yan greeted Yan Maoqing very programmatically.
Yan Maoqing's attitude is lukewarm, not as enthusiastic as he imagined, nor as cold as he imagined, and he is completely with an attitude towards strangers.
Come to think of it, no one will be too happy if anyone is told that I want to investigate you, and it is really rare for Yan Maoqing not to turn Li away.
"Li Qianhu is serious, I don't know if Li Qianhu is here today, but what kind of business did he order?"
Hearing this, Li Yan secretly scolded Yan Maoqing, you old fox, I didn't ask you a word and you started to test me.
Li Yan did not move, put his hand on the table, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. "Good tea, this tea tasting is also reasonable, we and other rough people are all cows, wasted this kind of good tea in vain, if it is like Yan Gongpin, it should have a different taste."
"Haha, Li Qianhu is serious again, this tea is this year's new tea Longjing, and it tastes far less flavorful than the old tea, I say this, Li Qianhu, do you understand?" Yan Maoqing said with a smile.
Li Yan also smiled faintly. Yan Gong disagrees with this, new tea and old tea have their own tastes, why is it too late to say? Sometimes, new tea sells better than old tea. ”
After Li Yan finished speaking, Yan Maoqing sneered. "So, does Li Qianhu like new tea?
”
"Yes, yes."
……
…………
After a sharp fight with the old man Yan Maoqing, Li Yan lost interest and didn't want to continue to ink with this old man, so he cut straight to the point.
"Lord Yan, there is nothing else to do here today, it's just that a group of chaotic people appeared outside Nanjing the day before yesterday, claiming to be people from Lianghuai, because the salt administration is too high to live, so he uses his own way to seek justice for himself."
"Huh? Is there such a thing? Dare to ask Lord Li, what is the way they seek justice for themselves? ”
"Assassination...... Prince! ”
Li Yan slapped the table! Suddenly, the case was struck.
"This group of rebels is really bold! Dare to treat Lord Yan as nothing, Lord Yan is so well-informed, how can he do something to raise the salt tax privately and then take it for himself? Lord Yan, do you think so? ”
"Huh? Yes! Be! Absolutely! The old man thinks so too! Yan Maoqing was listening to Li Yan's righteousness, but he didn't expect Li Yan to throw his words here as he spoke, so that he didn't even react.
"I'll just say, Lord Yan wouldn't do such a thing, those chaotic people must be talking about someone else! Lord Yan, are you right? ”
"Of course it's right! Master Li is reasonable, they are framing the old man! Because the old man has not formed a party with others for personal gain over the years, it is normal for him to be suspicious, and Master Li does not need to worry too much. Yan Maoqing looked like there was me in the world, with her hands behind her back, and her face was lonely.
I don't know why, seeing Yan Maoqing's virtue, Li Yan suddenly remembered that Sun Mao had nothing to do to set a score for himself, and couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, isn't this group of scholars all like this?
Li Yan thought curiously.
"What Lord Yan said makes sense." Li Yan nodded, looking quite in agreement with Yan Maoqing.
"But as far as the lower officials know, you are the only one in charge of salt administration, Lord Yan? There was no one else. ”
Li Yan blinked his eyes and looked at Yan Maoqing.
"Hiss......"
Li Yan suddenly gasped and looked at Yan Maoqing in disbelief. "Could it be...... It's adults who have lived enough. Find someone to frame yourself yourself? ”
"Uh...... This is indeed the official alone, but how could the official find someone to frame him? ”
……
…………
Yan Maoqing's face was unhappy, he could see that Li Yan was not here to investigate the case, Li Yan was here to kill himself!
Look at what these words say, are they called human words? Beast!
Yan Maoqing's beard was trembling faintly, like an old cat who had been brushed by his owner, and wanted to get angry, but he couldn't get angry.
Looking at Yan Maoqing's poor appearance, Li Yan smiled slowly and said leisurely. "Since Lord Yan just admitted that Lord Yan was the only one in charge of the salt administration, there is no possibility that others will frame you, then...... I'll ask Lord Yan to follow me along. ”
Li Yan put away his smile and gestured towards Yan Maoqing, and immediately Zhao Shun and Zhang Tao stepped forward to support Yan Maoqing on the left and right.
"Master Li, are you going to fight the old man to the end?"
"Of course, the emperor's order is in his body, so I have to forgive me, Lord Yan."
"I'll see your grandmother!" Yan Maoqing didn't even care about the least face, and scolded Li Yan directly.
Li Yan turned a deaf ear and bared a mouthful of white teeth at Yan Maoqing.
"Take it away! By the way, he was charged with another crime, insulting the emperor's appointed minister. ”
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Shundao.
"Li Yan, you dare to treat this official like this!" Yan Maoqing jumped directly to his feet.
