Chapter 108: Stay will clean you up!
Cabinet. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The atmosphere of the cabinet in the past few days is very solemn, and the emperor has not made a clear statement on the matter of the popular uprising, but the impeachment of Lu Kun and his comrades has been piled up, especially after Lu Kun resigned, the war has spread to the cabinet, pointing directly at the corpses of the three university scholars, and even the cause of the civil uprising and the instigators cannot be found.
Under such a surge of emotions, even the first assistant Zhang Wei felt a little difficult, but what he didn't expect was that the bigger incident was still to come.
"Yuanfu, Li Mao, the imperial history of the city patrol, asks to see him, and he has a major matter to report!"
Zhang Wei looked at the music in front of him as always with a headache, but Shen Cheng walked in in a hurry and said with an impatient face.
"Call him in!"
Shen's consistent performance suddenly made Zhang Wei's heart rise high again, what is the matter with the Imperial History of the City Patrol coming to the cabinet at this time? Could it be that there was another civil uprising in the city?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Wei's tone did not return to the original peace.
Soon, Shen Cheng came back again, followed by a young man in a cyan official robe, presumably the so-called Imperial History of the City Patrol Li Mao, and Wang Xijue who came in a hurry beside him.
This Li Mao is also a character, and he is not timid in the face of the three auxiliary ministers, and he takes a deep breath and tells everything that happened at the city gate.
"What? You said that Jinyiwei and Dongchang had a fight in Bei'anmen? ”
Wang Xijue frowned and asked.
With a hint of disbelief.
You must know that although Dongchang and Jinyiwei were once prominent, but in the Wanli Dynasty, the emperor has always been very strict with them, so that the sense of existence of these two major institutions is very low, and it has not been a long time since such a big thing has happened like today!
"That's right, looking at the situation at the scene, it should be Luo San, who commanded Luo's subordinates, and robbed a batch of silver taels from Dongchang......"
A hint of shame flashed on Li Mao's face, and he replied.
"The lower officials are incompetent, and they failed to stop the two sides for investigation!"
"Jinyiwei and Dongchang are not within the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and you are not responsible for this matter, but why did Jinyiwei suddenly snatch the silver taels of Dongchang, do you know about this matter?"
Zhang Wei waved his hand and said.
The matter of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, not to mention a mere imperial history of patrolling the city, is that he, Yuanfu, wants to intervene in the disposal, and he must first show the emperor, he is more curious about why Jinyiwei and Dongchang suddenly made trouble at this juncture.
With his understanding of Luo Sigong, this person is not a reckless person, and there must be a plan for making such a big thing today!
"The lower official is about to report this matter!"
Li Mao took a deep breath and calmed down before speaking.
After Jin Yiwei and Dongchang left, Xia Guan interrogated the surrounding people, and found that the escort of this batch of silver taels was named Cao Jin, who should be from Dongchang, but for some reason, he did not use the banner of Dongchang, and Jinyiwei was obviously going to them, and directly intercepted Cao Jin at the gate of the city, and wanted to open the box escorted by Cao Jin for inspection on the grounds of investigating the case.
The two sides argued, and eventually a fight broke out, and during the conversation, Cao Jin once mentioned that the things escorted were to be sent to the palace for His Majesty, but Luo San insisted that those things involved major cases and must be opened and checked.
In the end, Cao Jin was defeated by Luo San, and the battle was lost, only to find that all the escorts were silver taels, and even gold ......"
Speaking of this, Li Mao's body trembled, swallowed his saliva and said.
"The lower official has estimated that if all the carts are carried in silver, there will be at least 500,000 taels, and if you count the gold...... There should be close to a million taels ......"
At this moment, not only Li Mao, but everyone in the cabinet was also shocked.
A million taels?!
You must know that today's annual treasury revenue is only seven or eight million taels, and where did Dongchang get one-seventh of the treasury revenue all of a sudden!
"Cao Jin ......"
At this time, Wang Xijue's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of color, and he muttered.
"If the old man is not mistaken, Cao Jin should be the mining tax eunuch who was sent by His Majesty to ZJ to collect the mining tax last year! Could it be that this million taels was actually scavenged by him from the locality? ”
Wang Xijue's two words did not lower his voice, so Zhang Wei and Shen had always heard them clearly.
With a frown, Shen Cheng spoke.
If this is the case, it will be explained, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have a long-standing feud, how can they watch Dongchang make such a big contribution? But this million taels is really a bit amazing......"
"The top priority is not the filth of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but this million taels of silver, if it is really collected from the local government, it will definitely cause an uproar in the court, and when the time comes, you and I will not be able to run away, Xijue, consistently, you immediately follow me into the palace and ask Your Majesty clearly, if this million taels is really the income from the mining tax, even if the old man gives up the position of this first assistant, he will definitely bring this group of internal supervisors who oppress the people to justice!"
No one knows better than Zhang what this means.
The emperor has been in power since he was ten years old, more than 20 years, and has experienced five first assistants, although the country still has many problems, but the national strength is thriving, the emperor is working hard, almost except for the country, is an impeccable good emperor.
But if this is true, it is terrible!
The internal supervisor is wanton and arrogant in the locality, and in just half a year, he has collected a million taels, and anyone with a little brain knows what this means, and the emperor will not be wrong, so it will only be the minister's advice that is unfavorable, and Zhang Wei, who is the first assistant, will bear the brunt of the storm.
If this matter can't be properly resolved, then he, the first assistant, will probably be able to do it!
"Pavilion Elder, the emperor has just urgently summoned the Jinyi Guard to command Luo Sigong to enter the palace to face the saint!"
Before Wang Xijue and Shen Yi could react, a subordinate hurriedly came in to report.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Wei's face sank and said in a cold voice.
Yude Palace.
"Luo Sigong! You are getting bolder now, I really think that I will not do anything to you if I think about my past feelings? ”
Looking at the kneeling Jinyi Guard commander in front of him, Zhu Yijun was simply angry, and the words he said were cold and piercing, cold as a knife, and his eyes were also full of deep disappointment.
He had known about the filthiness of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but he had ignored it, because he knew that Luo Sigong was a measured person and knew what to do and what not to do.
But what happened these days really disappointed him, first of all, he did not monitor the rumors in Beijing, so that there was a civil uprising, although it was controlled in time, but the continuous slackluster of the DPRK and the Central Committee was enough to annoy him to death, and that's it!
He remembered that Jinyiwei had made great contributions in the battle of North Korea, and his vitality was greatly damaged, so he was not to blame in the past, but now, he had told Luo Sigong a long time ago to ask him not to conflict with Dongchang at this time, let alone fight the idea of the silver, but who would have thought that Luo Sigong not only had a conflict, but also made such a big fuss!
With so much silver, if it falls under the noses of the courtiers, I don't know what kind of unscrupulous and dumb king he will be!
What's more, this farce even alarmed the imperial history of the city patrol, the emperor can imagine that tomorrow his desk will be full of impeachment notes, and all this is because of Jinyiwei's nonsense, but for his own selfishness, he did nonsense, and ruined his big things, so how can Zhu Yijun not be angry?
"Your Majesty! Minister......"
Luo Sigong on the side was very calm, even if he was reprimanded by the emperor like this, he didn't see the slightest hint of fear, and said in a deep voice.
It's just that before he finished speaking, he heard an attendant outside hurriedly come in and say.
"Emperor, Lord Motosuke will ask for a meeting with the two scholars of the cabinet!"
Zhu Yijun's face sank, and his cold gaze instantly shot to Luo Sigong's face, and although the latter stopped explaining, he still knelt straight in place as if he didn't notice the emperor's gaze.
It's just that no one noticed that Sun Xian on the side suddenly turned pale, and a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes.
"Hmph, I'll clean you up again!"
After a little hesitation, Zhu Yijun snorted coldly with hatred, which was considered to have temporarily let go of Luo Sigong, paused, took a deep breath, and spoke.
"Gentlemen, please come in!"
