Chapter 578: My Emperor is Wise (4 More)
As soon as Han Qi met, he pleaded guilty, Zhao Zhen and Wang Ningan were taken aback, especially Wang Ningan, who had been in Bashu for half a year, mobilized all his forces, and had already found out the matter of handing over the son's affairs, and was about to make Han Qi confess his guilt and give him the head, but he didn't expect the old guy to take the initiative to plead guilty...... It's like holding back a big move, but there is nowhere to release it, and there is no need to talk about that depression. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rolling his eyes, he knew in his heart that Han Qi might be retreating and advancing, wanting to take advantage of Zhao Zhen's kindness to get away with the crime - no matter what, he must not let go of the old thing!
Wang Ningan secretly thought about countermeasures, and Zhao Zhen stared at Han Qi angrily.
"Han Xianggong, how do I treat you? Why do you want to be greedy for the people's money, so that the affairs of the children are empty, and almost cause a civil uprising, do you know the guilt? ”
Han Qi knelt and climbed a few steps, and the old tears were rampant, "Back to the saint, the old minister is promoted, and he is the ruler of the army, and he has no size to cause a catastrophe, and he is willing to ambush him to quench His Majesty's thunderous anger!" ”
It's really amazing, not justifying, just begging for death!
When did Han Qi become so enlightened?
The more he was like this, the more curious Zhao Zhen became.
"Han Qi, do you think that once you die, you can hide from it? I ask you, where did all the millions of dollars go, and as the third envoy, don't you have anything to say to me? ”
Han Qi wiped his tears and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked, the only way to confess is to confess truthfully...... The 2 million yuan of food and salary is indeed money, mainly because the Shu Road is difficult to travel, the military situation is like fire, and the criminal ministers are afraid that the war situation with the Liao State will fall into a stalemate, so people should take the money out of Sichuan as soon as possible and go to the northwest to purchase grain on the spot. ”
"Is it to purchase food, or is it given to Wang Gongchen?"
"It was given to Wang Gongchen...... Because their family is the largest grain merchant, they have a huge stock of grain, and they buy grain from them, which is cheap and sufficient. ”
"Nonsense!" Zhao Zhen reprimanded angrily: "Obviously, not a single grain of grain has entered the army, just now Wang Anshi also sent a report, he has counted all the accounts of the Yongxing Military Road, and there is no such grain in the accounts at all, what do you say?" ”
"Qi Sheng, at that time, Wang Xianggong was the privy deputy envoy, and the criminal ministers allocated money to them in order to raise food as soon as possible, but Wang Gongchen was too greedy and actually filled his pockets. The criminal ministers also have rumors, but they always think about their colleagues, and they can't bear to fry each other too quickly, so they don't play the court...... The criminal engages in favoritism, shields his colleagues, and is willing to be punished! ”
"Phew!"
Zhao Zhen took a sip and scolded: "Clever words, and said that you came to ask for guilt, obviously put the blame on Wang Gongchen, what other crimes do you have?" ”
The emperor was not easy to fool, and sneered: "Put aside the 2 million pieces of military rations, what about the 1.5 million bonds?" ”
"The sinner has a heartfelt word, I don't know if I can say it?"
"Speak, I'm going to see how Han Xianggong is clever today!"
Han Qi sighed deeply, he first raised his head and looked at Wang Ningan.
"Wang Xianggong, when you go to Bashu to handle the case, you should understand the difficulty of doing things...... At the beginning, the imperial court hurriedly started a war with the Khitan, and the food and salary personnel were not ready, but fortunately, with the blessing of God, the Liao civil strife made Wang Xianggong able to make immortal achievements...... The old man's words, presumably the prince will not deny it. At that time, in order to requisition food, the resistance encountered in concentrating material resources was unimaginable. As the third envoy, how can I mobilize the people below and let them work hard without getting involved in the military supplies? ”
Han Qi sighed deeply, "The sinners are incompetent, only by feeding the people from top to bottom can they be allowed to work hard...... The 1.5 million yuan was indeed issued by the criminal minister in violation of regulations, but the criminal was willing to swear to heaven that none of the copper money would enter the criminal minister's private pocket...... All the guilty ministers were used to reward officials, reward meritorious soldiers, and let them do their best work, which led to the great victory of Youzhou...... The criminal minister knew that he was guilty of a deep sin, and he was unwilling to defend himself, but the criminal minister was loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and diligent in the king's affairs, and did not dare to forget His Majesty's holy grace...... The painstaking work of the sinners can be seen from the sun and the moon! Your Majesty! ”
Speaking of excitement, Han Qi burst into tears, his voice was choked, and he cried on the ground, as if he was the one who was wronged!
Wang Ningan listened silently, and he couldn't help but give Han Qi a thumbs up!
This old guy can really shirk responsibility!
It's obvious that he is nonsense, but he said that he has become a great Song Jiangshan, and he also dragged himself into it, as if it was he who did not hesitate to commit crimes and endure humiliation, so that he could win the victory of Youzhou, is it possible to give him a medal?
Wang Ningan didn't believe a word, but Zhao Zhen was a little confused.
After all, he was a benevolent emperor with a soft heart.
In addition, Han Qi was also one of the gentlemen of Qingli back then, in order to change the law, he tried his best to pay a lot before and after the saddle, and Qingli's new policy was the one who lost them.
Han Qi will come to this day, perhaps it is also the result of his disappointment with me...... When Zhao Zhen thought of this, his heart softened.
It's hard to do things, it's hard to be an emperor, it's hard to be a ruler, maybe it's really as Han Qi said, he has a last resort...... Zhao Zhen was about to ask, but Wang Ningan suddenly coughed twice.
"Your Majesty, what Han Xianggong said is really admirable, and the minister also has a few words that he wants to ask clearly."
Zhao Zhen didn't say much, just waved his hand, meaning to be convenient.
"Han Xianggong, you really didn't fill your pockets?"
"Absolutely not, if the old man takes the money, he is willing to be punished by lightning!"
"Hahaha! There are many people who have been struck by thunder in recent years, and they can't finish slashing Lei Gong when they are tired! Wang Ningan said: "I want to ask Han Xianggong, Shuzhong Jiangqing, how to deal with it after buying war bonds?" ”
"This ...... Naturally, it was the imperial court redemption. What, is there a problem? ”
Wang Ningan smiled: "Is it redeemed at the original price or at a premium?" ”
"This ...... The old man doesn't know, maybe he has to ask the people below, in short, he does things according to the rules! Han Qi shirked.
"Hahaha......" Wang Ningan laughed even more presumptuously, "It's a good security rule, war bonds, the general interest is more than 30%, just calculate it at 30%, you should give Jiang Qing an extra 450,000 yuan, and this money is also from Jiaozi, right?" ”
Han Qi's face changed, he nodded mechanically, his heart was all messed up, his rhetoric could deceive Zhao Zhen, but he couldn't deceive Wang Ningan!
"Shuzhong Jiangqing, why are you willing to buy war bonds, if there is no interest lure, how can it be so? can not only earn interest, but also marry Han Xianggong, of course they can't ask for it. From the fifth year of Huangyou to the first year of Jiayou, more than a year before and after, these 1.5 million yuan are under the control of your Han Xianggong...... At that time, because of the war, the price of grain in the Central Plains and Northwest China soared, up to three times, and the grain business made a lot of money! If you lend this money to Wang Gongchen to transport grain, or take it out for lending, from 1.5 million guan to 3 million guan, it shouldn't be a problem, or even more! Naturally, you can calmly fill in the holes and keep everything in order as if nothing had happened! ”
"You talk nonsense!"
Han Qi was furious, pointed at Wang Ning'an and reprimanded angrily: "These are all your speculations, there is not the slightest evidence, it is a crime that you want to add!" ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and cried to Zhao Zhen again: "The criminal minister is willing to die, but the soldier can be killed but not humiliated. ”
Zhao Zhen was also a little confused, he looked at Wang Ning'an.
"Your Majesty, although the minister does not know the specific purpose of these 1.5 million pieces, there are traces to follow...... In the first year of Jiayou, the northwest suffered another flood and military disaster, and almost started a war with the Western Xia, and the supply of grain exceeded the demand...... This time, Wang Gongchen teamed up with Han Qi to play bigger! They moved money from the subordinate affairs, and in the name of grain mold and depreciation, they sold the grain stored in Taicang of the imperial court and the local Chang Closed Warehouse to Tianshun Grain Company at a low price. Tianshun Grain Company used these grains to borrow money from the people and forced them to mortgage their land, and Wang Gongchen and his gang swallowed more than 3 million acres of fertile land...... Here are the detailed results of the investigation, please take a look at your majesty. ”
Wang Ningan gave Zhao Zhen a thick stack of music watches.
Zhao Zhen took a quick look, and the more he looked, the more angry he became.
Syllable!
"What a big bold!" Uncle Zhao angrily reprimanded: "Although the imperial court can't help but merge, why not take advantage of the danger of others, use despicable means, steal and embezzle the people's land. It is clear that he wants to force the people to rebel! Zhao Zhen asked loudly: "Han Qi, don't you feel ashamed?" ”
Han Qi hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, Wang Gongchen embezzled the land, and the old minister really didn't know, as a privy deputy envoy, he didn't need to discuss it with the old minister." ”
Wang Ningan chuckled, "Han Xianggong, when we got rich, we made a lot of money together, but now that something happens, it's all pushed to Wang Gongchen, you are too villainous, right?" ”
Han Qi argued: "Whether the old man is a gentleman or a villain, there is no need for Wang Xianggong to judge!" ”
"Then let me judge!"
Zhao Zhen suddenly slapped the table, "Han Qi, before and after you served as the third envoy, Yizhou Jiaoziwu was moved out of a total of more than six million yuan...... The original reserves disappeared, and more than 800,000 were still owed, so that Jiaozi could not continue and almost collapsed! ”
Zhao Zhen grabbed the bad debt in his hand, was angry, and threw it towards Han Qi, Han Qi didn't dare to dodge, so he could only hold on, and was smashed extremely embarrassed.
"No matter how nice you say, where did all this money go? As a deacon, shouldn't I have an explanation? “
Han Qi was prostrate on the ground, sweat flowing down his sideburns, and after a while, there were two more puddles of water on the ground.
In fact, Wang Ning'an was wrong, although Zhao Zhen was kind, he was not a bad person, especially when it came to Jiangshan Sheji, Han Qi's nonsense could only deceive ghosts, but not the emperor!
"I don't take more than 4 sets of clothes in the four seasons, I don't want to eat five flavors, I can't lie on a couch, and I have been simple for decades...... I always ask myself, I feel worthy of the people of the world, and the country is not going well, it is really the will of God...... I know how wrong I am today! My appeasement and connivance, laissez-faire, raised a group of corrupt officials, cruel and harmful, fierce as a tiger! I am ashamed of the people, and I have the power of heaven! ”
Zhao Zhen said, turned around, faced Han Qi, and sneered a few times.
"What you just said is true or false! I don't even want to hear it anymore. You and Wang Gongchen will be taken to the prison immediately, and I will arrange suitable officials to strictly interrogate this case, and whoever is involved will do it, even if the people around me are involved, there will be no life or death! 6 million! More expensive than my palace! If I don't find out, I will be the emperor in vain!! ”
Zhao Zhen's words rumbled in the main hall.
How many times have I seen Zhao Zhen, but this time, he is domineering, this is the appearance of the emperor!
Wang Ningan shouted from the bottom of his heart: "My emperor is wise! ”
