Speaking of accepting bribes, some people mentioned that the 100,000 taels embezzled by Ma Decai at that time had not yet been settled, and Lord Gu knew where the money was?

This is an allusion that Gu Huaisheng swallowed it privately and concealed it without reporting it.

Gu Huaisheng was not annoyed, standing there like a pine and a cypress, his posture was relaxed, and his words were gentle.

He only said that there was a phenomenon of bribery, not that everyone took bribes, as for who took bribes, everyone knew it.

He said that he had checked Ma Decai's account book, which recorded in detail which messengers had been bribed, and he had sorted it out, drawn up a list, and was preparing to submit it.

Moreover, whether Ma Decai's 100,000 taels of silver flowed to him or to someone, the emperor must have already sent someone to investigate, and if he needed his cooperation, he would be very happy.

As the saying goes, the body is not afraid of the shadow, he is frank and swinging.

As soon as I heard him say that there was still a list, the confidence of a few people who were dissatisfied just now was a little insufficient, but they still showed disdain on their faces and forced their faces.

When the old emperor heard that there was still a roster, he ordered him to hand it over.

Li Gonggong immediately went down and took the list with both hands, and respectfully handed it to the saint.

Unfolded a look, the old emperor suddenly pinched the list, he opened his eyes, a surge of anger surged in his chest, and his complexion, which was not energetic, was a little energetic at the moment.

I was rejoiced in spirit.

It turned out that most of the bribes were accepted.

Gu Huaisheng's booklet not only indicates who took bribes, the amount of bribes, and even the way in which bribes were received.

Ma Decai was very careful, and the account book was made even more detailed, he not only recorded the Qin Cha during his reign, but also recorded the account book of the previous county guard, which he didn't know how to get.

Gu Huaisheng easily added the information he had found, so not only did he accept bribes, but also some people were greedy for ink.

He pushed all of this to Ma Decai, saying that it was recorded in Ma Decai's account book.

The old emperor slapped the list on the table, immediately named the names of several ministers, all of them were put in prison, and ordered the inspectorate to investigate as soon as possible, and if it was true, they would be severely punished.

As soon as they heard that they were going to be imprisoned, the ministers immediately panicked, shouted and begged one by one, and kept showing their loyalty and hard work, saying that how could they just rely on a person who had just entered the court to make things up.

Wronged, greatly wronged.

The emperor coldly threw the list to the ground and threw a sentence, "Whether it is wronged, whether it is made up or not, you can see for yourself." ”

The rice paper just landed at the feet of several people, and the officials looked at each other, but someone took the lead and bent down to pick it up and look at it.

The remaining courtiers who were named were also curious, and they all leaned over to take a look.

At this glance, everyone's eyes widened, the letter paper fell, some people forced themselves to calm down, still saying that they were innocent, and some people took two steps back in despair, looking like their hearts were dead.

When the old emperor saw their expressions, he sneered coldly, and it seemed that what was written in the letter was not far from ten.

If it weren't for the words, these courtiers were all human spirits, how could they be shocked to show such expressions all of a sudden.

Sitting in a high position for a long time, the emperor can't see through this.

With a wave of his hand, Li Gonggong understood and ordered the Imperial Forest Army to take the people into prison and deal with them after the follow-up investigation was completed.

The old emperor rubbed his eyebrows, and there was some vicissitudes and tiredness on his face.

He instructed the prince to choose people, and be sure to choose some real talents and learning, for the sake of the people, and fill these vacancies.

In addition, with regard to the embezzled funds, the Inspectorate will be sent to find out the ins and outs as soon as possible.

The prince stepped forward and said respectfully: "The son obeys the order." ”

The old emperor didn't sit for a long time, and then he was tired, waved his hand and motioned for Xiao Lizi to read out the holy decree to Gu Ze as a reward, and then retired from the court.

When he was about to retreat, he glanced at Gu Ze deeply. 510 Literature

Gu Ze held the holy decree in both hands, neither humble nor arrogant, and was sending the emperor off.

The old emperor sighed with emotion in his heart, it was really terrifying.

For the first time in the midst of hundreds of officials, in the face of the majesty of the Son of Heaven, Gu Ze was able to be calm, unfazed, calm in the face of doubts, and even more indifferent in the face of rewards.

A humble gentleman, gentle as jade, such as cutting, such as grinding.

Hehe, it seems that the fourth child has found a good helper.

From the beginning of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's efforts to suppress public opinion and insist on appropriation, the old emperor became suspicious.

If the fourth child and Gu Ze don't know each other at all, he doesn't believe it.

With a sigh, the old emperor drove back to the palace.

Hundreds of officials send it off.

After the next court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also went back to the East Palace directly, and when he passed by Mr., he just praised him politely and did not say much.

When he and Mr. were greeting, the second prince and the fifth prince, who had been silent, were quietly looking at each other.

Gu Huaisheng behaved like an ordinary courtier, with a moderate demeanor in his speech and demeanor, but he did not exceed the courtesy, nor did he see a trace of old acquaintances with His Royal Highness.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, many of the remaining courtiers came over at once, and began to congratulate, praise, and reveal the meaning of friendship.

In the face of endless praise, Gu Huaisheng responded lightly, not arrogant or impatient, not enthusiastic or cold, just right, and would not make people lose face.

Later, the second prince came over, and everyone immediately dispersed with interest, leaving the space for the second prince.

Gu Huaisheng gave a standard salute.

The second prince was dressed in court clothes, majestic, with solemn eyebrows and eyes, looking at it, it seemed like a bad temper.

He waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite, and asked, if he could take a step.

As soon as he spoke, his tone was quite calm.

Gu Huaisheng responded.

The second prince has been practicing martial arts all the year round, has a burly body, and is a sturdy and beautiful man, which is completely different from Gu Huaisheng's seemingly thin, gentle and thin appearance.

When the two of them walked towards a secluded pavilion in the distance, many palace maids behind them began to whisper......

The second prince did not talk to him for a long time, nor did he sit down, only about a quarter of an hour, and left.

A little eunuch eavesdropped on it for a long time, but he didn't hear anything, so he went back to Ronghe Palace to resume his life.

Concubine Rong couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and waved her hand to signal the palace maid to give a silver ingot and let people go down.

Behind the green screen of Guilin's mountains and rivers, a noble son with a bright wind and moon slowly walked out.

Although the materials used for his clothes are luxurious, the style and coloring are a little elegant, and there is a crane Tengyun graphic inscription on his waist, which looks leisurely.

There is still a touch of childishness on his face, at the age of sixteen, he looks very simple and innocent.

It's just that the eyes are as calm as a secluded pool, and the waves are not alarmed.

He called: "Mother, what do you hear?" ”

Concubine Rong shook her head and said that the second prince asked about some trivial matters about Qingcheng County, and she didn't hear anything wrong.

The fifth prince smiled lightly, looking like he had known this for a long time, and then began to coquettish with his mother, saying that he wanted to eat the pearl glutinous balls from his mother.

Concubine Rong smiled lightly, her eyebrows and eyes were particularly loving, and she blamed her son, who was sixteen years old and loved sweets.

But after all, I immediately went to prepare.
