Chapter 167: How Did Your Majesty Know?
So now when I hear Chu Yi mention Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao will have such a reaction, but Zhu Houzhao reacted and snorted coldly: "Since it is over, isn't it that Lu Wenyang also sent silver and Liu Jin?" ”
Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "At the beginning, Lu Wenyang gave Liu Jin 500,000 taels of silver, so he kept the position of the governor of Caoyun!" ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but smile angrily and said: "Okay, it's really good, this Caoyun Governor is really a good hand at collecting money, Liu Jin is 500,000, and his companion is more than 1 million, I really want to ask him, where did he come from with so much silver!" ”
Slightly reined in his anger, Zhu Hou looked at Chu Yi and said: "Chu Daban, you immediately discuss with Yang Ge Lao, and send the minister to investigate this Lu Wenyang, I want to know how much he has been greedy and how many evil things he has done over the years!" ”
Chu Yi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty must have a psychological preparation!" ”
Hearing Chu Yi say this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Chu Yi curiously and said, "Oh, what did the big companion ask me to prepare, isn't it that Lu Wenyang is greedy for too much gold and silver?" The big companion doesn't have to worry, even if he is really greedy for tens of millions of taels of silver, I am mentally prepared. ”
With the stimulation of Chu Yi's more than 10 million taels of silver confiscated from Jiangnan, coupled with the millions of taels of silver confiscated by Huang Huai, Lu Wenyang bribed millions of taels of silver as soon as he made a move, Zhu Houzhao no longer thought that a corrupt official could confiscate tens of thousands of taels of silver It was very amazing.
As Zhu Houzhao himself said, at least for now, even if someone tells him that Lu Wenyang's family can confiscate tens of millions of taels of silver, he can accept it.
However, Chu Yi shook his head and said, "What the minister is worried about is that once the imperial court sends someone to check on Lu Wenyang, Lu Wenyang will repeat his old tricks!" ”
Zhu Houzhao was surprised: "Oh, what kind of old trick is repeated? ”
Chu Yi said slowly: "At the beginning, Liu Jin also sent people to investigate Lu Wenyang, but those officials sank in the canal with the boat before they could make a move......
Zhu Houzhao is not a little white who doesn't understand anything, as soon as Chu Yi said this, Zhu Houzhao's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a deep voice: "He ...... He was so bold that even court officials dared to murder him? ”
Chu Yi sneered and said: "For some people, as long as there are enough interests, there is nothing in this world that they dare not do, Your Majesty has forgotten that Huang Huai, Huang Kui and others even dare to transfer soldiers and horses privately, why can't Lu Wenyang kill the court officials who went to check on him!" ”
snapped, and Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and shouted angrily: "He dares!" ”
It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao is really angry, and it is just that there are Huang Huai and other bold people in the Jingshi, he didn't expect that there are such lawless officials in the local area, and there are no kings. Especially the other party is still an important minister in charge of Caoyun.
Doesn't these important ministers have a little royal law in their hearts, and don't they have a little reverence for the officials sent by the imperial court?
"Come on, summon Elder Yang Ge to come!"
Looking at Zhu Houzhao's posture, he was unwilling to wait for Chu Yi to discuss with Yang Tinghe, but wanted to directly discuss Lu Wenyang's matter with Yang Tinghe.
In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe is handling government affairs, compared to Liu Jin's power and power, Chu Yi has no sign of this at all.
As the chief supervisor of ceremonies, if he really wants to fight for power, he is indeed able to compete with the cabinet for a long time, and even rely on the trust and trust of the Son of Heaven, even if he overpowers the cabinet.
If Chu Yi competed with the cabinet for power as soon as he came up, Yang Tinghe and other cabinet elders would definitely not be surprised, the key is that Chu Yi did not have such signs.
However, although Chu Yi did not show the intention of fighting for power with the cabinet, Yang Tinghe and others did not dare to take it lightly, after all, Chu Yi was still trying the case of Huang Huai, Huang Kui and others for rebellion, who knows if he would take action against the cabinet when Chu Yi freed his hand.
An attendant entered the cabinet and said to Yang Tinghe: "Elder Yang Ge, Your Majesty has something to summon Elder Ge urgently!" ”
Yang Tinghe was slightly stunned, Zhu Houzhao rarely took the initiative to summon them, but this time it was suddenly summoned, Yang Tinghe's heart was suddenly, but there was a calm look between his expressions, and he bowed to the inner servant and said: "Father-in-law, and later, this official will go with his father-in-law to meet Your Majesty." ”
Out of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe quietly handed a silver ticket to the chamberlain and chuckled: "This father-in-law, I don't know what His Majesty is recruiting the official to go to, if you can, your father-in-law might as well remind one or two." ”
The chamberlain glanced at the amount on the silver ticket, and it was a hundred taels of silver, which was already a lot of silver for him as an attendant, and he suddenly smiled and said: "The elder doesn't have to worry, although the slave doesn't know what it is for, but it doesn't matter what the elder is." ”
The chamberlain really didn't know what was going on, but it was obviously impossible to accept Yang Tinghe's money and let him return it, so he relieved Yang Tinghe's heart.
Yang Tinghe was such a person, just listening to the words of this chamberlain, he knew that he was asking for a blind question, and the other party obviously didn't know the reason why Zhu Houzhao recruited him.
Soon Yang Tinghe arrived at the place of the leopard room and entered the leopard room smoothly.
In the main hall, the chamberlain said respectfully: "The first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe asks to see Your Majesty!" ”
"Biography!"
Yang Tinghe walked into the main hall slowly and saw Zhu Houzhao sitting there, while Chu Yi and Gu Dayong stood aside.
A few steps forward, Yang Tinghe respectfully saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Minister Yang Tinghe, please meet Your Majesty!" ”
Zhu Houzhao flicked his hand slightly and said, "Yang Qing's family doesn't have to be formal, get up and answer!" ”
Yang Tinghe got up slowly after thanking him, and said with a little doubt: "Your Majesty urgently summons the ministers to come, I don't know what to order?" ”
Zhu Houzhao handed the gift list of Cao Yun Governor Lu Wenyang presented by Chu Yi to Gu Dayong and said, "Companion, and give this gift list to Yang Ge Elder to take a look!" ”
Gu Da walked in front of Yang Tinghe with a smile on his face, handed the gift list to Yang Tinghe, and said, "Elder Yang Ge, you might as well take a look." ”
Yang Tinghe was puzzled, what kind of gift list?
After receiving the gift list, Yang Tinghe's gaze swept over the contents on it and was suddenly shocked.
The sea has been up and down for decades, and Yang Tinghe has not experienced any kind of thing, and he has seen this kind of gift list many times, so he can see at a glance that this is a gift from a certain local official to a certain senior member of the DPRK.
Almost instantly, Yang Tinghe could be sure that this gift list was given to Chu Yi nine times out of ten, and even the person who presented this gift list, Yang Tinghe also had a rough guess in his heart.
Sweeping the gift list at a glance, Yang Tinghe roughly calculated in his heart, this gift list was worth millions of taels, and he couldn't help but sigh lightly in his heart, that person couldn't even dream that he would never have dreamed that a big gift he gave to Chu Yi was presented to the Son of Heaven by Chu Yi in a blink of an eye.
Even if Yang Tinghe asked himself, if he was in Chu Yi's position, he might not be able to present so much wealth to the Son of Heaven like Chu Yi.
That's millions of taels of silver, who doesn't want to be impressed.
Yang Tinghe glanced at Chu Yi with a strange gaze, didn't he say that eunuchs like wealth the most, it has been like this since ancient times, why can't it work when he arrives at Chu Yi?
Respectfully presenting the gift list to the Son of Heaven, Yang Tinghe said with a straight expression: "Your Majesty, this gift list can be described as priceless, it is not less than a million taels, I don't know ......"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Tinghe and said: "This gift list was presented to Chu Daban by Lu Wenyang, the governor of Caoyun, and Chu Daban presented it to me as soon as he received it. ”
Yang Tinghe immediately bowed to the ground with a frightened look, and said in fear: "The minister's negligence in supervision has caused such a huge corruption in the local area, and he has failed His Majesty's trust, and asked His Majesty to deal with the crime of the minister!" ”
Zhu Houzhao sighed lightly in his heart, and stepped forward to help Yang Tinghe and said: "What does this matter have to do with Yang Qing's family, Lu Wenyang has been entrenched in the local area for many years, and after several cabinets, the Qing family has only just taken over for a long time, how can Lu Wenyang's matter be blamed on Yang Qing's family." ”
After appeasing Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houzhao said to Yang Tinghe: "I have just discussed with Chu Daban, and the imperial court immediately sent personnel to investigate Lu Wenyang, and it is necessary to find out which officials are involved in Lu Wenyang's corruption case. ”
Being stared at by Zhu Houzhao directly, Yang Tinghe said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, although rest assured, the minister will definitely send capable people to investigate this matter." ”
Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this case, I will hand over this matter to the Qing family for disposal!" ”
Yang Tinghe left from the leopard room and returned to the cabinet, and several cabinet elders couldn't help but surround Yang Tinghe when they saw that Yang Tinghe's expression was a little wrong.
Jiang Mian said to Yang Tinghe: "Lord Shoufu, is there anything Your Majesty has summoned to go?" ”
Yang Tinghe took a deep breath, glanced at everyone, and sighed lightly: "Your Majesty has already ordered the cabinet to strictly investigate the corruption case of Lu Wenyang, the governor of Caoyun. ”
"What!"
The expressions of several pavilion elders couldn't help but change, who was Lu Wenyang, the governor of Caoyun, and the few pavilion elders present were naturally very clear in their hearts.
When it comes to Lu Wenyang, the governor of Caoyun, even they have to admire in their hearts, this is simply the emperor of the soil on the Grand Canal, and he has been sitting firmly in the position of the governor of Caoyun for nearly ten years, and it can be said that the line of the Grand Canal has almost been made into an iron bucket.
It's not that no one has ever beaten the idea of the governor of Caoyun, but no one can succeed, even Liu Jin, who was powerful at the beginning, took back the outstretched hand after hitting a wall.
What kind of big net Lu Wenyang has woven in the court, you can see one or two by looking at the few pavilion elders present who almost all changed their colors.
With a light cough, Fei Hong looked at everyone and said with a solemn expression: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly think of strictly investigating Lu Wenyang, and how did you know about Lu Wenyang's corruption?" ”
