Chapter 654: Li Gu's Blessing
Thirty million real money, this is an astronomical amount that Chai Rong can't come up with, in just three years, he has gotten so much money, Li Gu's ability is rare in the world, the more so, the more angry Chai Rong becomes. These courtiers are all selfish, only thinking about themselves, harming the public and private interests, and being unscrupulous.
The time period of Li Gu's greed for ink was mainly during Chai Rong's southern expedition.
At that time, with the power of the imperial court, in dealing with Jiangnan, Li Gu was good, he stole the savings of the treasury, went to Bashu to make profits, and confronted the overall situation of the imperial court, and this alone could cut off Li Gu's head.
Moreover, the huge amount of smuggling was not something that Li Gu could complete alone, implicating local officials, the garrison in the northwest, and a large amount of Shu brocade flowing into the capital, and the three divisions and yamen turned a blind eye...... Li Gu is their former chief, are these people also involved in smuggling?
Calculate carefully, from the imperial court to the localities, from civil officials to military generals, all of them are involved, and none of them are clean.
It is especially hateful, Li Gu privately colluded with the Jiang Qing clan of Bashu, and this matter was completely beyond the duty of the ministers.
The Jiang Qing clan are all smart people, with the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the fall of Shu is also in the blink of an eye, in order to keep the wealth and glory, they must turn to the Great Zhou.
At this time, Li Gu stretched out his hand to Bashu, thinking with his toes, he could guess that Li Gu must be under the banner of Da Zhou, sealing the official and making a wish, which was exchanged for the unanimous support of Bashu Jiangqing, without the cooperation of these people, he would never have gotten so much money!
Life and death are taken away, this is the power of the Son of Heaven, and Li Gu actually uses it for personal gain, how can it be reasonable!
Of course, Li Gu tossed Bashu and gathered Jiang Qing, which also played a role, that is, it reduced the difficulty of the Great Zhou to enter Shu and quickly wiped out Shu, Li Gu was meritorious.
Chai Rong seemed to be a little tempted and wanted to let him go, but Chai Rong quickly realized that Li Gu had not only done these things, since the Holy Driver returned to Beijing, so many ups and downs, didn't this old man get involved?
He said that he did not form an alliance with Han Derang, is this credible?
Without Han Derang's help, could he transport Shu Jin to the capital?
Also Who recommended Qi Tongwen?
Han Derang, or Li Gu?
East Palace Six Rates, who came up with the idea?
Don't forget, Li Gu is also one of the princes, and the benefits of forming the East Palace Six Rates are not small.
Also, Hou Yi's family rebelled, and when they handled the case, they blamed Hou Yi for the discovery of artillery and gunpowder in Yizhou, but in fact, Hou Yi never admitted it, if what Hou Yi said was true, then what about Li Gu?
Could it be that he did it?
Li Gu said that he was helping Da Zhou weaken the Shu Kingdom, could he want to benefit from both ends? Also, after Meng Chang entered Beijing, he didn't say anything, did someone seal his mouth? Then he killed people and blamed others......
"Li Gu, you old horseman! I'm going to destroy your nine clans! ”
Chai Rong is like a raging lion, thinking of many storms and rains, he may be implicated in Li Gu...... Or this old man is the culprit of the chaos in the capital, Chai Rong is furious!
You must know that during this time, he lost a queen, a concubine, and a flowery Fei...... Li Gu old thief, you are not shallow!
"Passing on the decree, torture, and extorting confessions day and night, let Li Gu recruit from the truth!"
Looking at the emperor's appearance, he almost wanted to cramp and peel Li Gu's skin, and cut it with a thousand knives, Ye Hua couldn't stand it anymore, "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for daring to say it, even though Li Gu is hateful, but he is at most fueling the troubles, so many things, it is impossible for him to do it alone, and even the minister feels that there are still people hiding behind his back and not finding out!" ”
"Anyone else?" Chai Rong chuckled, "Could it be that there is a bigger official position than Li Gu?" ”
"It may not be bigger than his official position, and it may not be one person, but a group of people, they are pushing Li Gu to rush forward, and they are also hiding behind Li Gu, releasing cold arrows and knives!" Ye Hua gritted his teeth and said: "The so-called gentleman is not a party, and someone must help him in trouble." In case of profit, they will also go together. ”
Chai Rong laughed and said: "The one who pursues profit is not a gentleman, he is a villain!" The people of the dynasty are all villains! ”
Chai Rong was definitely moved, and he also understood Ye Hua's words.
Li Gu smuggled a lot of profits, he must have shared the profits, and the others got the benefits, so he turned a blind eye and tolerated and connived. As for some other things, it is also these goods who are pushing the boat with the tide and taking advantage of the trend...... This involves very complex battles.
The old ministers of the former dynasty and the nouveau riche in Jiangnan, civil and military generals, as well as courtiers and the Son of Heaven, even including traditional scholars, and courtiers of the new school...... Li Gu's position is very interesting.
He is an important minister left by Guo Wei, but he has a deep friendship with Han Xizai, he is a leader in civil officials, and Ye Hua's quasi-ally, he is a traditional scholar, and he is the one who knows the most about finance, all in all, he is an iconic figure, and there are too many people who want to use his case to make a fuss and achieve ulterior purposes.
is as strong as Ye Hua and Chai Rong, they all see through this situation, but it is useless to see through it, what role those courtiers played, no one can tell, let alone find out.
Moreover, these people are responsible for the imperial court, so they can't slaughter them all, so who will do things for His Majesty the Emperor?
"Ye Qing, as the Son of Heaven, the Ninety-Five Supreme, seems to have power over the world, and he can do too little to do, dealing with a corrupt official, and stumbling, too unpleasant!"
Ye Hua said: "The Son of Heaven should look at the overall situation, have the world in mind, and have scruples, the minister thinks that this case does not need to be blindly expanded, but he can't let go of those corrupt ministers who bend the law for bribes, and start arresting it immediately, from top to bottom, all those who participate in smuggling and provide convenience for smuggling, no one will be left!" ”
Chai Rong said with a calm face: "Okay, I estimate that at least dozens of people are implicated, and taking their heads is enough to alert the ministers and let them know how powerful I am!" ”
……
"Hahaha! Li Gu old horseman, I really didn't expect you to fall so quickly! What an unexpected! ”
Lu Duosun sat alone at a table, only a pot of wine, a small dish, the family wanted to prepare a few more dishes for him, he was not willing, Li Gu fell because of insatiable greed, at this time, drink some poor wine, there is no taste!
Lu Duoxun is definitely a genius, he started by destroying the Buddha, and he was the first to come, surpassing Zhao Pu and others, ranking as prime minister, and holding financial power for many years.
Not long ago, Ye Hua asked him to talk about some things, and Lu Duosun was sensitive to the fact that some things were about to be opened, although he was panicked, he was more excited.
Ludosun has plenty of confidence that the fire will not burn on him.
First of all, although he was the third envoy, in the past three years, he has allocated military supplies in Yangzhou to pacify the southeast, and the affairs of the capital have not been mixed much.
Secondly, Li Gu has been the prime minister for many years, and the people in the three divisions are all Li Gu's subordinates, after Lu Duoxun left Beijing, in fact, it was Li Gu who was responsible for financial operations, and Wang Pu and Fan Zhen were not good at this.
As long as Li Gu is still in the middle of the court for a day, Lu Duosun is not a real plan!
To be old and not to die is to be a thief, you have stolen my wealth and power, and now you have to pay it back with your life!
Thinking of this, Lu Duosun was more and more happy.
After a few glasses of wine, his face was flushed, and he came to his senses, stood up, danced and sang, "The so-called - the wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, and Weijia is returning to the ......."
Before he could finish singing, someone suddenly slapped him.
"It's so good, at this level, you can go to Xiangguo Temple to sing!"
Lu Duosun was furious, "What bastard would dare to disturb this official? I didn't say it, don't ......" He turned his head and saw that it was a young man, and he didn't have an official uniform, just a moon-white robe, very plain, and even cold.
It's Ye Hua!
"Oh, my Hou Ye, why did you come here without making a sound!"
Lu Duoxun hurriedly pulled Ye Hua to sit down, poured him wine, and shouted at his subordinates, "Go and prepare the dishes, go quickly!" ”
After Ye Hua sat down, he smiled slightly, "Don't bother, I'm in a bad mood, an old friend is going to die." ”
"Oh? Who is it, do I know it? Lu Duosun said with concern.
"Of course you do!" Ye Hua chuckled: "Maybe you're quite happy!" ”
"Ahh Lu Duoxun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou said that he was joking, your friend is my friend, how can I be happy, it is impossible!" ”
He hurriedly denied it, Ye Hua didn't care much about Lu Duoxun's words, no matter what he said, in Ye Hua's place, it was almost like a fart.
"Lu Xianggong, Li Gu has committed a big case, a big case, His Majesty has approved it, saying that he is the most corrupt official in the world, no one can save him, Li Xianggong is going to die!" Ye Hua sighed, "He once pushed Juntian back then, and I promised to shelter him, but he looked for death by himself, and I had no choice, but in my heart, it was always uncomfortable, quite awkward!" ”
Lu Duoxun hurriedly said: "Hou Ye attaches great importance to love and righteousness, Li Xianggong is old, and he usually always promotes the backwards, and it also helps me a lot. ”
Ye Hua waved his hand, "Don't talk about the good words, Li Gu is finished, there is a good and a bad news for you, two news, I said it directly, the good thing is that you have a huge sum of 30 million taels, and there may be more in the future...... The bad thing is that Li Gu is greedy for ink, and he uses a lot of people from the three divisions, that is, the people from the household department now, to help him pour money, use the money from the state treasury, make a lot of profits, and damage the public and private. The amount is unimaginable, the sage has already issued a decree to me, I want to find out to the end, who is implicated, and I will not tolerate it, Lu Xianggong, what do you think? ”
Lu Duosun was stunned for a moment, his heart was pounding, it stands to reason that one Li Gu is enough to explain to the world, why should he implicate others?
Especially since the household department is now his territory, such a large-scale purge is not a good thing for him.
Lu Duoxun wanted to say a few words, but looking at Ye Hua's expression, he obediently held back his words.
"Okay, I'll listen to Master Hou."
The two of them went directly to the heavenly prison one after the other, Li Gu was several times older than the first few days, and he couldn't eat anything now, so he could only live on rice milk.
"This, this is the list of several judges of the three divisions, Lu, Lu Xianggong, you can take it!"
Lu Duoxun took it, hurriedly looked over, and saw that the people above were all Li Gu's subordinates, and those who didn't have him couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief...... This scene happened to be seen by Li Gu, and he chuckled, "I'm old, I won't pull the back of the pad when I die, no!" In this life, the old man has been a prime minister, squatted in a prison, owed a huge amount of money, and collected 30 million yuan. ”
Li Gu struggled to sit up and said to Ye Hua: "Master Hou, can you let someone bathe me and change my clothes and walk decently?" ”
Ye Hua took a deep breath and said slowly, "I will let Li Ji come over to serve you." ”
In an instant, Li Gulao burst into tears, struggling to kneel on the ground, kowtowing.
"Thank you, Lord Hou, great kindness! The old man wishes your children and grandchildren all generations, and all generations of princes! ”
