Chapter 67: The Minister
(Everyone thinks it's better to call Liangbi or Ye Kai, I think Ye Kai reads quite smoothly~)
The carriage stopped outside the noon gate, Ye Kai had to get down and walk forward, there was still a short distance from the noon gate to the Qianqing Palace, not only was he not in a hurry at all, but deliberately walked this distance slowly and slowly.
Ye Kai has actually been thinking in his heart, at this point in time, Xie Yuanhan's excerpt is afraid that it has already arrived at Zaifeng, and there are at least two advantages to arriving a little later, one is to ensure that Zaifeng can finish reading this impeachment excerpt, and the second is to let Zaifeng pay attention for a while longer, preferably by himself, this feeling of being angry and not being able to spill out is believed to make everyone go crazy.
Along the way, Ye Kai's footsteps slowly stopped in front of the Qianqing Gate, looking at the ordinary buildings on the west side of the door, the row of low and inconspicuous class rooms, but they had a very rich gold name.
Military Aircraft Division!
As the de facto political center of the Qing court, the people who can enter the office there are all important ministers of the court, and the people they come into contact with are the most important secrets of the state, so there are regulations here where it was built, and no one is allowed to stop in front of the military aircraft department, so everyone who passes by here is in a hurry.
However, instead of leaving immediately, Ye Kai stared there with interest, and the corners of his mouth were even more playful.
On the one hand, there is the Qianqing Palace, where only the emperor can work, and on the other hand, there is the Military Aircraft Department, which represents the highest body of power, in this Forbidden City, which symbolizes the heart of the empire, there are two opposing forces, is this great irony?
If this is the case with the central government, why is this not the case with the whole of China?
The ministers are intrigued, the people are detached from morality, the national strength is declining day by day, and the dignified central country has been reduced to fish and meat.
What Ye Kai wants is not only territorial unity, but more importantly, ideological unity, and only the unity of 40,000 Chinese can make a country that has flourished for more than a thousand years rise again.
No matter how difficult it is, as long as you do it, there will always be results, even if it is a little bit of a star, it is better than nothing.
What Ye Kai despises the most is those sour and rotten literati, all of them are better than thousands of troops, and when the country is no longer a country, and when the nation is in danger, he attributes the failure to the inferior nature of the Chinese, and when he encounters such a person, Ye Kai can only give him a big slap in the face, and then ask viciously, why did he go earlier?
The ideal is not air, what people need more is bread, and in troubled times, what they need most is doers, just like the hero Cao Mengde, just like Liuhou Zhang Zifang.
Shaking his head, finally Ye Kai stopped lingering and strode forward
Qianqing Palace, Chongde Palace, Zaifeng's expression was a little gloomy, holding a copy of the fold in his hand, walking around.
What can make him so upset is naturally the twist in his hand, an unknown imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as soon as he comes up, he wants to impeach the senior member of the Ministry of Justice, and the latter said conclusively in the twist and turn that there is conclusive evidence that Chen Bi, the secretary of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, embezzled public funds, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"Qiyu Regent, Lord Liangbiliang has arrived."
Hearing the eunuch's words, Zaifeng's face finally stretched a little, he stopped his chaotic steps, turned around and said.
"Let Him In"
The eunuch hurriedly reported, Zaifeng was finally not so anxious, but in the quiet hall, his inhalation sound that was difficult to relax could still be heard.
"Greetings to the Regent"
"Exempt"
Before Ye Kai's words were finished, Zaifeng waved his hand and shouted directly at the people around him, "Come on, take a seat." ”
"Thank you Regent"
Ye Kai sat in the chair, did not mention anything else, and reported in a decent manner, "The minister returned to Beijing today as usual, and came to explain the training of the Praetorian Guard to the regent.
Although Zaifeng didn't interject, Ye Kai kept looking at it with his spare eyes, the former seemed to be a little absent-minded today, as for the reason, he didn't need to guess to think of it.
"That's all the minister has to say, I don't know what the regent has to say." After Ye Kai finished speaking, he asked.
"It's all right" Zaifeng replied briefly, even casually, he turned around and said suddenly.
"Liangbi, put aside the training in advance, it just so happens that you are here today, take a look at this letter." Zaifeng handed the impeachment of Chen Bi to Ye Kai.
Ye Kai could guess the above content with his eyes closed, but after pretending to read it again, he still cooperated and shouted: "There is such a thing? ”
Zaifeng sneered and motioned for him to take a closer look.
After Ye Kai swept it again, he closed the fold, and said with a shocked face in front of Zaifeng: "The amount is huge, it is really shocking, how can this be?" ”
"I can't think of it, and this king can't think of it!" Zaifeng said with a look of disdain: "But there are people who like to do this kind of thing that others can't think of, this Chen Bi is really bold!" ”
Speaking of this, Zaifeng slapped the table, stood up, and scolded directly: "Not to mention that the Yipin master has more than 10,000 taels of incorruptible silver every year, let's just say that the monthly official fee is already very generous, and they are hungry there!" ”
As soon as I thought of the astronomical figures on the fold, Zaifeng's anger became bigger and bigger, those were all people's fat and people's ointment, the country was already poor and weak, and most of the annual tax revenue alone was paid to the reparations and interest on loans to the great powers, and I was already out of breath, and I thought that there were still moths in so many countries.
"This"
Looking at Zaifeng's extremely angry appearance, Ye Kai's mouth trembled, but he smiled slightly in his heart.
"This Chen Bi dignified post and communication department book, will not be confused so far, this account is not known to be true or false, the regent does not need to make a big deal for the time being."
"The accounts are so detailed, then there can be a fake!" Zaifeng said coldly, having said that, but he could see that his anger had subsided slightly.
"The regent might as well be like this, send a loyal and reliable minister to investigate, if it is fake, he will not be wronged Chen Bi, if it is true, it will not be too late to deal with it then."
After listening to Ye Kai's suggestion, Zaifeng nodded, this is a way to have both.
"There is a suitable candidate for the minister, and he is in this position."
"Say it and listen," Zaifeng raised his eyelids.
"The right waiter of the Ministry of Posts and Communications, Sheng Xuanhuai."
"Sheng Xuanhuai?" Some time ago, Zaifeng summoned him, so he still had some impressions.
"Sheng Xuanhuai has been in the Ministry of Posts and Communications for a long time, so he is naturally most familiar with what Chen Bi has done, and he is neither Yuan Dang, nor Qingliu, nor subordinate to various factions in the DPRK and China, there is no constraint on the left and right, and he must be fair and selfless when he investigates."
Ye Kai's proposal is very much in line with Zaifeng's thoughts, a simple corruption case, once it is linked to a political faction, will immediately turn sour, and then become a tool for political struggle, so such a person is indeed very suitable, Zaifeng thought about it, and finally ordered: "Okay, Sheng Xuanhuai is the minister of the Qincha, and he has full powers to investigate this case thoroughly." ”
Zaifeng's personnel arrangement, an hour later, turned into an edict, and Sheng Xuanhuai's status as a messenger was settled.
What Zaifeng didn't know was that his decision would soon cause a storm, and Ye Kai expected that after Zaifeng's side, it was time to tell Longyu Yixuan the news next, I believe it would give them a headache.
