Over the capital, the hot and dry weather has been going on for a long time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

On July 12, the capital finally bid farewell to the scorching hot weather, the sky was overcast, and a heavy rainstorm was brewing.

Today is not a big court meeting, but there are some officials who usually do not go to the court, and they also appeared in the court today, and the atmosphere was solemn.

Emperor Rongjing strode into the court hall and sat upright on the dragon chair.

The chief eunuch often sang loudly and "went to court"!

A group of officials below the court immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Rong Jing looked at the officials kneeling in the court, his eyes were heavy, and he paused before he shouted, "All the secretaries are flat"!

The ministers said in unison: "Long live Xie!" Fang got up and stood on both sides.

Chang Quan said loudly, "There is a book to start playing, and there is no book to retreat!" ”

Today's court, the officials came quite neatly, and the officials who usually love to take leave also stood on time in the court today, no matter what the purpose, watching the play or participating in it, the state is very positive, and Emperor Rongjing's heart is full of irritability.

Yesterday, Qian Feng, the leader of the secret agents, has made a secret report on the recent melting of copper casters in Beijing. The ticket numbers of the officials and businessmen involved in the Beijing have been counted and reported, and all the information has been placed on the jade case in the south study, involving a wide range of people, which is shocking.

Completely ignoring the laws and disciplines of the imperial court, and ignoring the laws and disciplines of the imperial court is nothing, which is regarded as child's play. The sins of the people involved are extremely heinous and unforgivable.

The profit of the molten copper caster is several times or even dozens of times, and the relevant people take risks, and the fishermen make profits, which damages the interests of the court and the people.

He is also a blind man, he is locked up in the deep palace all day long, and he spends his money with silver, when have you ever used copper coins? How could you have thought that the people below would dare to drill the camp like this, do everything, do everything!

What shocked me even more was that the secret report of Su Pinghan, the chief soldier of Tianjin, the head of the anti-Yongjun Party, Yuan Fu, and the weapons used in the rebellion were all made by the merchants below who melted down copper coins to take copper and sold them to these rebels. This act is simply audacious, audacious, and extremely evil! Emperor Rong Jing is now just eager to put all these fools who violate the law and discipline below to prison!

And these are just the surrounding areas of Beijing, the officials and businessmen in Beijing, as for the provinces, prefectures, prefectures, and counties, what is the situation? You don't have to think about it, it's only going to get worse.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, this is already the case, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and this non-release path will only become more rampant and more serious.

The father and the emperor treated his subordinates leniently, but also indulged in all kinds of malpractices, some court officials had no fear, relying on some ancestral merits, and acted more and more arrogantly.

If these acts are not strictly investigated and punished, the stability of the imperial court will be affected.

"Today, all the Aiqing are neatly here, but they all have their own music!" Emperor Rong Jing spoke first, and there was a faint unkindness in his tone.

The officials below were all solemn, bowing their heads and eyes, and did not dare to speak casually.

Wu Yushi looked left and right and saw that no one was out of the ranks, so he put his heart sideways, and stepped forward and said, "The minister has a book!" ”

"Speak!"

"The ministers and other people such as Fu Sizhong, the source of the money, privately smelted copper coins, cast bronze utensils, illegally operated, and made huge profits, should be seriously investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law, and the illegal profits should be confiscated, and the people involved in the case should be sentenced in accordance with the law to correct the law and discipline." Wu Yushi's words had already been spoken, and he didn't care about it, and he played sonorously and powerfully.

"Haha, listen, listen, privately cast, privately destroy, privately cast, privately sell bronzes, completely ignore the laws and discipline of the imperial court as nothing, who gave them dog guts? Well? Emperor Rong Jing looked at the courtiers below and laughed.

The ministers looked at each other, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "The ministers are negligent, and the ministers are guilty!" ”

"You are guilty, don't be in a hurry to discern it, I want to listen to your recital slowly, who else has this recital? Don't stand up yet! Emperor Rong Jing stood up and said to the courtiers below with a smile.

"The ministers played Lu Jin's ticket number, illegally purchased copper coins without permission, privately melted copper coins, cast bronze utensils, and made huge profits of hundreds of thousands of taels, should be seriously investigated and dealt with according to the law, confiscate this illegal profit, investigate and punish the people involved in the case according to the law, and correct the law and discipline." Cheng Yushi also made a report, and seeing the emperor's expression and attitude, he also had a bottom in his heart, and he also reported his own performance.

"Well, okay, it should indeed be investigated, a small ticket number dares to act like this, and profits hundreds of thousands of people, this is easier than the household department to collect taxes and my internal affairs government to make money, what do you think? Do you have such an industry? It's easy to make money from this kind of business! Emperor Rong Jing sat back on the dragon chair.

The ministers hurriedly knelt down again, and replied in unison, "The ministers don't dare, the ministers don't dare." ”

"Don't dare? Hehe, don't you dare to do it? Or do not do it? Hum! Emperor Rong Jing became angry again.

"Anything else? Repeated! ”

"The minister played the Jinyuan ticket number, and there was also this illegal act, privately purchasing copper coins, privately melting copper coins, casting bronze utensils, and profiteering hundreds of thousands of taels, please long live a strict investigation." Another imperial historian followed the trend and reported on the prelude.

The ministers below had already heard the emperor's attitude, so they naturally followed suit.

"Okay, is it just these merchant ticket numbers? Who gave them the guts? This is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven! Peace and prosperity! There are more than a hundred officials in the capital, and no one has ever found out about the officials, errand officials, and officials? Is there no one to take care of it? This wind is so rampant below, are you officials in Beijing eating dry rice? With the court's money in vain, no one cares about or cares about the major matters of people's livelihood! You have to think about it, where did all this court come from? Emperor Rong Jing picked up the fold in his hand and threw it on the ground, asking in a loud voice.

It's not just a question to your subordinates, it's also a kind of question to yourself. Is this really the peaceful and prosperous era of singing and dancing, and the four seas are one?

Yin Lu Fugui of Shuntian Mansion looked inexplicable, he was in charge of the chores in the capital, wouldn't he have to bear the brunt of this negligence! Now I have to go out to report, otherwise it will not be good to be attacked by others.

Lu Fugui came out and said, "Long live, long live, since he ascended the throne, he has been diligent in government affairs, stabilized people's livelihood, built water conservancy, repaired rivers, reduced taxes in various places, and benefited the country and the people.

Now I Dayong Dynasty country and people, wind and rain, but also there is a Tianjin Jin world, the way of heaven is clear, long live the merit of the grand event recognized by the way of heaven, the existing Tianjin book respectfully, please long live the royal view! ”

Lu Fugui took out the Tianjin book that Da Lang cut out in the belly of the fish, and presented it with respectful hands.

Chang Quan immediately stepped forward to bring the brocade box over and presented it to Emperor Rongjing.

Emperor Rong Jing took the brocade box and did not open it immediately, only smiled and looked at the curious ministers below.
