Chapter 341: Eunuch Charges
Wei Ren knew in his heart that these methods would definitely be effective, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty can let people test in the land where the miasma is full of miasma in Lingnan, and at the same time verify the method of improving the acid soil and preventing the miasma that Wei Chen said. ”
Li Shi nodded and said, "I have this intention. By the way, Liu Guangqi, you go and summon Du Qing to come to see me. ”
Liu Guangqi saluted, then left there to summon Du You.
After Liu Guangqi went out, leaving only Li Shi and Wei Renshi inside, Li Shi asked again: "Wei Qing, how did those spies investigate the matter of the Shence Army?" ”
Wei Ren said honestly, here.
"This ...... Originally, the minister had planned to come and tell His Majesty earlier, but later found out more things, some of which were important, and the minister did not dare to report them easily, and was ready to report to His Majesty after thoroughly verifying the conclusiveness. Wei Renshi deliberately hesitated for a moment before replying.
"Huh?" Li Shi frowned and asked, "What did you find?" ”
"This ......," Wei Renshi said, "Wei Chen and Ding Liuyong originally sent spies to find out what the Fifth Shouliang sent people to steal the new weapons, what purpose was it. And at the same time conduct a thorough investigation according to His Majesty's will. In the process of exploring, the clinker found a lot of side things. ”
Li Shi's expression sank a little more, and he said, "Say." ”
"The spies discovered that some of the people in the Divine Army, especially the lieutenants of the Guardian Army and the upper and lower prison guards, had colluded with each other and formed a battalion party. The generals of the Shence army have to worship these eunuch mountains in order to be relied on, and if they want to be promoted, they have to bribe them a huge amount. The ministers initially estimated that just these eunuchs colluded up and received bribes, and there were nearly one million yuan a year! In addition, what is even more serious is that those prison and guard lieutenants colluded with each other, and even had been doing the business of privately opening the market and selling Tang weapons to Hui and Tubo! ”
"What?!" Li Shi was stunned, and his face immediately became very ugly.
Wei Renshi said again: "It is precisely because the things found out are so serious and there are many people involved that the ministers do not dare to report to Your Majesty easily, but have been asking spies to verify those things, just for the sake of prudence." ”
"Nearly a million a year? And that's just the fruits of corruption. Li Shi's eyes became dangerous, and he said: "Privately open the market, and sell weapons privately to the enemy...... Oh, yes! ”
Wei Renshi said again: "After those spies accidentally discovered these situations, they immediately realized the problem in their eyes, and they didn't dare to make a decision easily, so they came to report it to me and Mr. Ding. When Mr. Ding and I looked at it, it was shocking, and we didn't dare to make our own decisions. But this matter is too serious, involving a large number of people, and it is related to the Shence Army, Yi Weichen and Mr. Ding both feel that if it is not conclusive and rashly moved, the impact will be deep and easy to cause chaos. Therefore, the spy was asked to verify those things, and in the process of verification, more crimes were uncovered. I can only go to check and verify again. Most of it is now confirmed, but some are still being examined. ”
Li Shi's face became even more ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "Take the conclusive ones to me first!" ”
"Yes!" Wei Ren bowed and said, "After the minister leaves the palace, he and Mr. Ding will bring the charges and the evidence for examination. ”
"Go now!" Li Shi squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.
"Yes, Weichen will go now!" Wei Renshi saw that Li Shi's hands were a little trembling, so he said again: "Please Your Majesty calm your anger, the dragon body is important!" ”
"Go!" Li Shi said again.
Wei Renshi hurriedly bowed, said goodbye, and immediately left the palace and went to the right Jin Wuwei.
When he arrived at Youjin Wuwei, Wei Renshi found Ding Liuyong and told Ding Liuyong about the emperor's reaction.
Ding Liuyong nodded and said: "The things have already been prepared, and some have not been checked yet, but fortunately, the matter of privately opening the market and secretly selling weapons to the enemy has been conclusively proven, this is a major crime of complicity, and this article alone is enough to make their heads move." ”
The two of them prepared their things, and the charges and evidence alone were enough to fill a dozen or so large wooden boxes. One by one, they were lifted out, put on the carriage, and pulled into the palace.
Li Shi looked at the several large boxes in front of him, his expression was gloomy, he raised his hand and waved, and a guard immediately came over on his side, opened those boxes one by one, and then carried them in front of Li Shi.
Li Shi casually took out a stack from it and flipped through it.
"Humph!"
In just a moment, Li Shi slapped the pile of papers in his hand on the table with an angry face.
"Your Majesty is angry!" Wei Renshi and Ding Liuyong, as well as the surrounding guards, hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Li Shi opened a few more books and read them, his anger was even stronger, and his chest rose and fell sharply.
"Smack!" Li Shi smashed a pile on the table in front of him again.
"I trust them, that's why they let me supervise the Divine Army, and that's how they repay me!" Li Shi roared angrily, and after roaring, he coughed a few more times, so frightened that everyone hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Thoroughly! Be sure to investigate this thoroughly! Li Shi coughed, and at once swept all the charges on the case to the ground, gritted his teeth and said: "Don't let Dali Temple interfere in this matter, the spies are all responsible, and then Jin Wuwei will arrest people!" One should be the person, according to the law to investigate! ”
Li Shi almost roared out these words, and after the words were spoken, he gasped for breath, and the fierce light in his eyes burst out.
After a long while, Li Shi seemed to calm down, and then said to Ding Liuyong: "You bring these incriminating evidence back, take strict care, and don't let anything be lost." ”
"Yes!" Ding Liuyong hurriedly saluted.
After he took some guards to carry the boxes back into the carriage and pull them away, only Li Shi and Wei Renshi were left in the main hall.
Li Shi was still angry, and said sharply: "If it weren't for Wei Qing to train these spies, I'm afraid that I would still be kept in the dark by these eunuchs." These spies should be of great use, and in the future, these spies can only be used by the emperor, and no one else can use them privately, otherwise they will be punished as treason! ”
What Wei Renshi was worried about still happened, he trained these spies in the hope of using them to the outside world, instead of becoming a tool in the emperor's hands to monitor hundreds of officials, and becoming the emperor's personal eagle dog.
But Li Shi is angry right now, but it is not easy to persuade him.
After thinking about it, Wei Renshi said again: "Your Majesty, your body is important, but don't be too angry." Although this time the matter is serious, at least we have found out now, and we can deal with it as soon as possible. And they have not noticed it until now, they have been found out without preparation, and conclusive evidence has been found. In the future, when people perform their duties again, they must weigh and weigh them, and these eunuchs can be found out without realizing it, and the evidence is conclusive, so they naturally can't hide it. In this way, it will deter those who come after them from committing it again. ”
"Besides, isn't the court in need of a lot of money right now? These eunuchs privately opened the market and sold weapons to Hui and Tubo, but it made Weichen think of a good way to count them in one fell swoop. ”
