Chapter 70: A Fatal Blow
(The first is not to pay attention to boring data, concentrate on coding your own words, and try to support yourself.) )
is completely different from the dilemma of Yi-Xuan and others, Sheng Xuanhuai has no scruples here, and uses the rare power in his hands to directly check the Ministry of Posts and Communications.
The old accounts and the new accounts are added together, and the shocking numbers are like bombshells that can detonate the Ministry of Posts and Communications at any time, so a few days later, when this final investigation report is handed over to Zaifeng, the results can be imagined.
In a fit of rage, Zaifeng slammed this investigation on the table, cursing continuously, and the family wealth of more than 40 officials, large and small, was leaked at the same time, and the amount involved was as high as more than 700,000 taels of silver, which can be regarded as the biggest political scandal since the New Deal, and that Lord Shangshu was really angry, and directly took half of it.
It is only today that Zaifeng clearly realizes to what extent the bureaucracy has festered, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications has been continuously sucked by these parasites for several years, and the situation of other ministries is probably similar, the Qing Empire is facing a situation of internal and external difficulties, but it still can't stop the moths of these countries desperately trying to make money in their pockets, and they are constantly gnawing on the last bit of blood and blood of this country in an almost blatant way.
Ye Kai and Sheng Xuanhuai stood respectfully in the main hall, no one dared to say more, and if they said too much, they were just firewood who wanted to extinguish the fire, in the silent and dead atmosphere, only Zaifeng was the only one who was under the pressure of this row of mountains and seas, he was expressionless, and he couldn't even put on an angry face, he was so angry that he naturally couldn't go further.
The only thing visible is his constantly undulating chest, every breath is sunken in a terrible arc, this imperial wall seems to be impregnable, but only when he is in that position, can he feel the wind leaking everywhere, Cixi left him a mess after his death, he can't help but have no clue in the face of the dilemma, and helpless, the only thing he can do is to try his best to plug every hole he finds, if everything is still in time.
Ye Kai and Sheng Xuanhuai glanced at each other, both of them smiled bitterly, Zaifeng's every move they saw in their eyes, they could feel this emotion more or less, and from the perspective of later generations, Ye Kai could best understand Zaifeng's mood, as the first prince in the royal family to cut off his braids, he was open-minded, and he did not exclude learning Western problems, as later generations said, perhaps in the peaceful and prosperous times, Zaifeng could become a master of Zhongxing, and in the face of this crisis, a monarch who strives to compromise, The most taboo thing is not having an iron heart and wrists.
"Sheng Xuanhuai, the errand given to you is good."
As a result, Zaifeng couldn't talk about excitement, he leaned back in his chair weakly, and his eyes were gloomy.
"Ministers act impartially and be loyal to the country."
Sheng Xuanhuai replied programmatically, Zaifeng waved his hand and slowly closed his eyes, letting these bad news continue to sweep his nerves, but he had to face it.
Seeing that Zaifeng was already a little excited, Ye Kaichong Sheng Xuanhuai on the side secretly glanced at him, and the latter nodded understandingly, and then said in a low voice.
"Qi Yu regent, the minister is still a matter of reporting."
Zaifeng opened his eyes, looked at Sheng Xuanhuai, and said, "Let's talk about it."
"When the minister was investigating the case of Chen Bi's deficit of treasury silver, he accidentally found a telegram and asked the regent to look at it."
"Oh? What message? Zaifeng's eyebrows furrowed, then he looked at the eunuch on the side, and said, "Present it."
The eunuch handed the telegram into Zaifeng's hands, and the latter, after a cursory scan of the words on it, suddenly perked up.
"Yuan Shikai?!"
How taboo these three words are, it can be seen from Zaifeng's round eyes, the signature on this telegram, like a dense spark, once again ignited the extinguished flame and deep horror in his heart.
The undoubted name appeared in the messages of an incumbent official of the imperial court in this way, and a few paragraphs with clear meanings unreservedly exposed his intention to get involved in the government and let him know that the former important minister who was single-handedly ousted from the political stage by him was actually not far away from him.
Power, even if it is shrouded in the shadow of others, is a threat.
At this moment, Zaifeng finally made up his mind that he would deal with the Chen Bi incident with the most severe means, and follow the aftermath of this incident to once again warn the wrongdoer thousands of miles away that any attempt to resurrect the ashes would be futile.
"Regent, Chen Bi secretly communicated with Yuan Shikai and discussed the government, and the crime cannot be punished." Sheng Xuanhuai was on the side.
Zaifeng looked at Sheng Xuanhuai, and did not continue his words, but simply replied, "This king has made a decision", and then he continued to put this fold against Ye Kai.
"Liangbi, you can take a look too"
At this time, it was finally Ye Kai's turn to play a role, he who had been silent was by no means idle, on the surface he was the biggest bystander, but in fact, his role ran through the beginning and the end, Ye Kai took over this telegram, the content naturally did not need much, after a while, he raised his head and said solemnly.
"Master Sheng is right, this Chen Bi should not be spared."
Ye Kai's words were equivalent to closing the coffin, Zaifeng once again made clear his determination on one side, and finally, he got up and gave an order with firm words.
"Tomorrow, call all the people from the Military Aircraft Department, and when it comes to this, they should know about this case."
Tomorrow's meeting will not only expose the results of this time to the air, but at the same time, Zaifeng will also take the opportunity to put pressure on the Military Aircraft Department, Chen Bi is not your Qing-Wang person, okay, then let him end up in the most miserable situation in front of the Minister of the Military Aircraft Department.
Zaifeng then turned around and left a sentence before leaving, "Liangbi, you will come over tomorrow." ”
"Yes"
Looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, Ye Xingxing nodded with the city's head
Night fell, for Longyu and Yixuan, this was destined to be a difficult night, not long after Ye Kai left the palace, Han Chun'er appeared in Xiao Dezhang's mansion, and also brought bad news.
"Father-in-law De, my lord asked me to pass the word to my father-in-law, and this morning the regent saw Sheng Xuanhuai's excerpts, and the results are not optimistic." Han Chun'er said with a worried face.
Xiao Dezhang was taken aback, things really came to such a field,
"How is Chen Bi specifically, did Lord Liang say it?"
"The recall is inevitable, and it's hard to say whether the head can be saved." Han Chun'er's words naturally remained unchanged and followed Ye Kai's meaning.
"Huh?" Xiao De opened his mouth slightly, shaking his head incredulously.
"Ryū-sama really said that?"
"Father-in-law, can Chun'er lie to you, can my lord lie to you?"
Finally, Xiao Dezhang was stunned, his face was full of stiffness, and there was no more cheap smile on his face that hung on the corners of his mouth in the past.
"By the way, father-in-law, at tomorrow's military aircraft meeting, the regent will discuss the candidate for the new Shangshu, and the Queen Mother and King Qing should take countermeasures as soon as possible." Han Chun'er continued.
After a long time to recover, Xiao Dezhang nodded consciously, and his expression could not be raised.
"Father-in-law, about the selection of the new Shangshu, my lord has a few opinions, this secret letter, the father-in-law is tired to hand it over to King Lao Qing, and the queen mother will see it."
Han Chun'er took out a letter from his body and handed it to Xiao Dezhang, who took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said, "Okay, please rest assured that your master." ”
"In this way, Chun'er will take her leave."
Han Chun'er patted her ass and disappeared at the gate of Xiao Dezhang's mansion, leaving the back of the latter to wave.
After seeing the former leave, Xiao Dezhang hurriedly opened the secret letter, only to see that the line of the newcomer was clearly written with a person's name, and this person Xiao Dezhang not only heard of it, but also knew it very well.
In the officialdom of the Qing Dynasty, this person has an extremely loud name.
