Chapter 126: Sealing the Library

At the time of the last watch, in the Ye'an Pavilion of the Luoyang Imperial Palace, the empress summoned Han Jian alone. Han Jian presented the recital and stood quietly aside, the empress took the recital and read it carefully, and was silent for a long time.

"King of the East, these ...... Did you find it in the books? Finally, the Empress put down the notebook and asked.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Jian said respectfully, "The minister carefully checked the account books, and found that many records were inconsistent, and many of them were inconsistent with the actual records, and someone should have tampered with them. ”

The Empress said, "But there is no evidence to support your inference. ”

"Therefore, the minister asked His Majesty to approve the minister's transfer of troops to seal the treasury for inspection and find out conclusive evidence." Han Jian said in a resolute tone.

After hearing the "transfer of troops and sealing the treasury", the empress was silent for a long time, and seemed to have doubts in her heart. Finally, the empress looked up at Han Jian, still noncommittal.

Han Jian knew what the empress was worried about, if he could really find evidence of the crime in the treasury, but if he couldn't find it, then it would be a farce, not only the reputation of the king of Dongwang would be damaged, but even the empress's prestige would be damaged. It will also expose the intentions of the imperial court to the Northern King Party and lose the opportunity.

The empress finally sighed and said, "If there is no evidence, I will not agree to transfer troops to seal the treasury. ”

"But your majesty." Han Jian hurriedly said, "The minister thinks that now the court is in charge of the rebels, and now the moths have eroded into the treasury that is related to the lifeblood of my Wei Dynasty...... 陛xià......"

Speaking of this, Han Jian obviously noticed that the empress's expression changed slightly, although Han Jian only said "moths", but the empress knew that these moths were not just as simple as corruption. It is also necessary to send the treasury money and grain to the enemy, that is, to the king of the north. Such a "trade-off". The imperial court just blindly tolerated it, and it would only make the face torn off. The imperial court was short of even the most basic money.

"Then you are the king of the east...... How sure you are ......" A wise smile suddenly appeared on the empress's face, which made Han Jian a little incomprehensible.

"Back to His Majesty, there are not ten percent, but also eight or ninety. The sooner it is, the less time those rebellious ministers have to take precautions, the greater the chances of the ministers recovering the losses for the court. ”

The empress said: "Okay, I will transfer you 2,000 elite soldiers from the guard, and then send 200 palace guards to accompany you, and the court captain's mansion will cooperate with you in handling the case." It is important to get to the bottom of the case. Don't be too hasty, and if things go wrong, I'll punish you. ”

"Thank you." Han Jian saluted respectfully.

The empress wrote an edict and handed it to Han Jian, giving it another instructions. Judging from the empress's entrustment, Han Jian could also feel the empress's trust, such a big matter, let him, a fledgling kid do it, and the empress would also have to take a lot of risks. But Han Jian came to watch. His youthful vigor did not deter the Empress from entrusting him with important responsibilities.

"King Dong, don't force anything, if this case really can't be clarified, stop it as soon as possible." The Empress finally admonished.

"Yes. 陛xià. ”

Han Jian took the oracle into his arms, and at this time, the eunuch Lu Shaokun also came in on the order of the empress and received the talisman. Let Lu Shaokun help Han Jian transfer troops. In the Wei Dynasty, except for the four princes' personal soldiers. The rest of the soldiers and horses must have eunuchs to "supervise the army", and this time Lu Shaokun is equivalent to coming to Han Jian as a supervisor. Han Jian could also feel it. The empress sent Lu Shaokun to supervise next to him, and also reported the progress to the empress at any time.

Out of Ye'an Pavilion, Yang Xi, who was waiting outside, had already rushed over to greet him, although he had returned to the palace earlier, he knew that there was an action tonight, and he heard that Han Jian had already entered the palace, so he was already waiting outside.

"This time, the old body is all at the mercy of His Highness." After leaving the Ye'an Pavilion, Lu Shaokun smiled kindly at Han Jian and said, "If Your Highness has any orders, just send the old man to do it." ”

"Father-in-law Xie Lu, there is Father-in-law Lao Lu going to the guard station to transfer troops." Han Jian saluted.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be. The old body will go. Lu Shaokun took the talisman and took the palace guards to the guard station to transfer troops.

Lu Shaokun left, and Yang Xi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Han, what's wrong?" What's next for us? ”

"Let's go, let's go to the treasury together, the next step is to seal the warehouse." Han Jian had already taken a step, and he wanted to take the first step before Ma Jining and the others made a move.

Yang Xi hurriedly said: "But we haven't transferred troops yet." Just go like that? ”

"Your Majesty sent me two hundred guards to accompany me, these are enough, two thousand guards are at most a bluff, now time is of the essence, wait for the people of the Kusi to notice, do you think we will have a chance?"

Yang Xi said suddenly: "What I said is that time is urgent, and they can't be allowed to destroy the evidence of the crime." ”

When Han Jian and Yang Xi arrived at the palace gate, the palace guards had already received an edict from the empress, and two hundred guards were ready to leave the palace with Han Jian. Han Jian went out of the palace gate, and Sima Yi and the guards of the East Palace's Mansion were also waiting.

"First go to the treasury of the treasury, His Majesty will seal the treasury for inspection. If there is any disobedience, it will be dealt with by military law! Han Jian shouted.

Han Jian got on the horse, and the group set off in a mighty way, this time on the Luoyang City Horse Road, in order to arrive at the Kusi Treasury as soon as possible.

A group of people arrived at the treasury, not yet to the second watch, although most of the office staff of the treasury has returned home, but there are also many people still in the account reconciliation, involving the summer grain storage, the whole warehouse inside and outside the lights are also bright, a lot of money and grain need to be stored overnight.

Han Jian led the guards to arrive, destroying a calm and peaceful atmosphere inside and outside the warehouse. As soon as Han Jian came, without saying a word, he asked the guards to guard the gate of the warehouse, and sent some guards to go in and drive the people who were loading and unloading money and grain out of the warehouse. There were guards waiting inside and outside the treasury, but when they saw that all the people who came were palace guards, no one dared to step forward to stop them.

Outside the warehouse, Han Jian saw an acquaintance, but it was Han Jian who came to pick up the account the day before yesterday, and the book office that was included in the account book. The secretary was in charge of helping to command and dispatch outside, and when he saw Han Jian, he hurriedly saluted and said goodbye.

"What do you call it?" Han Jian asked with a smile.

"Xiaguan's surname is Li, his name is Zhonghan, and he is the secretary of the second leader of the Treasury Division." The man saluted.

Han Jian smiled and didn't say anything to Li Zhonghan. At this time, Yang Qi hurriedly rushed over from the yasu when he heard the news, and at this time, the gate of the big warehouse had been closed, and the door of the big library was full of Han Jian's people.

"Your Royal Highness the East King, what do you mean by this?" Yang Qi saw that it was Han Jian, his face was slightly surprised, how could the East King bring troops to the big warehouse overnight?

"This king is acting on orders, and I hope that Yang Siling can cooperate." Han Jian's smile was also good, which made Yang Qi even more panicked.

Yang Qi asked, "I don't know what His Highness will do...... What's the matter? ”

"Of course, it is to supervise the storage of summer grain, otherwise what else can it do? Yang Si Ling, you are also a noble person, we are more forgetful, we are each other. ”

Yang Siling looked at this posture, how could it be that he supervised the storage of summer grain, and how could he use the transfer of troops to seal the warehouse to supervise the storage of summer grain?

Yang Qi was about to quickly send someone to inform his boss, Ma Jining, the leader of the Treasury Department, but heard Han Jian shout: "Come on, please invite Yang Siling and his colleagues from the Treasury Division to have a cup of tea in the Tingwei Mansion, and we will chat while drinking tea." ”

When Yang Qi heard that he was going to the Tingwei Mansion, he almost understood what was going on, this was the case. This was what he had been most worried about for a long time, so Han Jian said very little, and he suddenly understood.

"Your Highness...... Not necessarily. Yang Qi said in panic, "If you want to drink tea, he will drink it from time to time, and the lower official will be the east, and the lower official will have some family affairs to deal with......

Han Jian smiled and said like a smiling tiger: "I'm afraid that this matter will not be decided by Yang Siling, this is His Majesty's edict, and this king can't help." Come on, come and ask Yang Siling! ”

Since Yang Qi didn't know each other, the guards were no longer polite, and took him out when they went up, at this time Yang Qi was no longer as amiable as just now, but shouted: "Kusi is the place where I supervise the grain warehouse, even if you are the king of the east, you have no right to seal the warehouse!" ”

"Too much talk, keep your mouth shut." Han Jian smiled coldly, and then Yang Qi was gagged, and he could only make a "whine" sound.

At this time, Lu Shaokun also hurriedly rushed to the warehouse with the soldiers and horses of the guard station, and when he came, he saw Han Jian taking the officials of the treasury, and Lu Shaokun was really surprised.

Because Han Jian was ordered to seal the library to investigate the case, but Han Jian just sealed the library, and he didn't even check it, so he wanted to take people, and the action was obviously too big. But the empress did explain to him before, and he did what the king of the east wanted, even if he felt that it was inappropriate, he didn't dare to criticize it.

"Your Highness, the old soldier has brought." Lu Shaokun came to Han Jian and looked at Yang Qi who was struggling there with some embarrassment.

"There is Father-in-law Lao Lu, and I have to trouble Father-in-law Lu to go to several other warehouses of the Treasury Division in Luoyang, and by the way, all the officials of the Treasury Division will be brought together for interrogation by this king." Han Jian said with a smile.

"Interrogation?" Lu Shaokun was startled at first, and then asked tentatively, "Your Highness...... Isn't it a bit ......?"

"Grandpa Lu is saying I'm too hasty? Don't worry, think about these people, they have been moths for so many years, no matter how anxious, a big tree is about to be destroyed by them, Grandpa Lu must not underestimate these moths, the truth that the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in an anthill, Grandpa Lu has heard of it? ”

At this point, Lu Shaokun was silent, the most he could do was to feed back the news to the empress. He even wondered in his heart, was it right or wrong for His Majesty to send the errand to the East King? Dongwang is indeed in a hurry, but if nothing is found out, it will backfire and it will not end well.

But Lu Shaokun looked at Han Jian's face, and he was completely confident.

Lu Shaokun sighed in his heart: "It's really a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers." Although Lu Shaokun admired Han Jian's reasoning and analysis when he handled the fraud case, he was still very optimistic about Han Jian's actions this time, thinking that Han Jian was too hasty.

Immediately, Han Jian acted vigorously and directly ordered that all the people of the Treasury Division and others be escorted to the Tingwei Mansion and detained separately pending interrogation.

Lu Shaokun instructed the generals of the guard to go to the various treasury divisions to seal the treasures, and at the same time found an opportunity to hurry to the palace to return to the empress. There was still room for change in this matter, but by Han Jian so directly sealing the library and making trouble, many things have been forced to a dead end.

In the Ye'an Pavilion of the Imperial Palace, after the empress described Lu Shaokun's anxious description outside the hall, the worry in her heart subsided.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of the East doesn't even have any evidence of guilt now, so I'm afraid it's ...... I'm afraid ......" Lu Shaokun looked anxious and didn't know how to describe it, the consequences he could imagine, it would inevitably cause chaos in the imperial court.

The empress smiled slightly and said, "The East King has no physical evidence, probably ...... It's about to start with the human certificate. (To be continued......)
