Chapter 438: The Beginning of the Rebellion
"Father, my son has something to present to you." After speaking, Lin Chen took a blue booklet from his sleeve and held it in his hand.
Hearing this, Emperor Li glanced at the account book in his hand and motioned for Zhang Ke to get it. After the meeting, Zhang Ke stepped down the steps, Ziye Linchen took the account book in his hand and presented it to Emperor Li, as Emperor Li opened the account book, his eyes became more and more fierce.
After half a ring, Emperor Li slapped the account book on the table heavily, looked at Ye Lin, and said coldly: "Where did you get this account book?" ”
"When Lu Huan gave it to his son, because of the importance at the time, the son did not dare to hand it over to his father. This matter is the fault of the sons. Ye Linchen raised his head to meet Emperor Li's gaze, "Now that the situation between the DPRK and China is gradually stabilizing, Erchen thinks that it is also time, and Lu Huan cannot be wronged." ”
When the words fell, Emperor Li nodded and moved his gaze back to Xue Zitang. Xue Zitang, who was under pressure, knelt on the ground without saying a word, and King Shou originally wanted to argue a few words for him, but he was pulled by Mrs. Xu's sleeve, signaling him to be calm.
"The evidence of Lu Huan's matter is conclusive, does His Royal Highness the King of Jin want to defend him like this? Could it be that Your Highness, after you led someone to rob the prison, you were so bold that you even dared to say such a thing that reversed black and white. Mrs. Xu said coldly.
Hearing this, Emperor Li looked at Ye Linchen deeply. He had a little impression of Lu Huan's incident, after the verification of Wu Hooktai and the Privy Council, it was indeed conclusive evidence, but now listening to Ye Linchen's words, it seems that Lu Huan had unspeakable hardships to do those things. Thinking of this, Emperor Li frowned and rubbed his fingers against the shocking numbers in the account book, and his eyes gradually became cold.
Mrs. Xu's words just now reminded him that Ye Linchen still has a case that can't be solved! Gu Changge was indeed kidnapped, and there are many people in these days who are pleading for King Jin. In fact, Emperor Li also understands that according to Ye Linchen's current status, some people will more or less let some people bet on him, although he is a little partial to King Shou for some reasons, but in all fairness, King Jin's actions these days are more and more satisfactory to him.
He was also relieved to put the country in the hands of King Jin, but sometimes this son was still not so obedient. It makes people have to feel alienated.
Hearing this, Ye Linchen turned his head and stared at him, and reprimanded coldly: "Mrs. Xu, on the matter, what the king is talking about now is the Xue family's case of embezzlement of ink and Gu Changge, what is the connection?"
"Xue Zitang!"
"Weichen is in ......," Hearing Emperor Li call him, Xue Zitang hurriedly shouted on the ground.
"I remember that a few years ago, a sum of silver from Jinling went into the treasury, and the amount you gave me at that time was one million taels. And there are three million taels on it in this account book, and I ask you where the other two million go! Looking at Xue Zili who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Li couldn't help but scold loudly, "Your Xue family took my silver, do you still hope that I will be grateful to you!" ”
"Sinners ......"
"Xia Fu, you give me a good look at how much silver the treasury has lost over the years."
"Obey."
When the words fell, Emperor Li slammed the table and roared: "Spread my will, the Xue family is greedy for ink, so that the government is chaotic. Since then, the Xue family has all been dismissed and investigated, and they are waiting to be dispatched. This case is jointly responsible for Dali Temple and Yushitai, and King Jin, you are responsible for the investigation. ”
"The retainers obey."
"We're in command."
Originally, the ministers thought that Emperor Li would listen to Xue Zitang's arguments, but they never thought that they would issue a decree so quickly to strictly investigate the case. Obviously, he was so annoyed by many things recently that he was so irritated that he didn't even want to give the Xue family a chance at all, this time the Xue family was probably more than lucky, after all, no emperor could tolerate the treasury becoming a plaything in the hands of others, and he could take it at will.
Seeing Xue Zitang being dragged down, King Shou couldn't help but clench his fists. He didn't expect Ye Linchen to free up his hands to deal with him so quickly, and even get an account book to crush the Xue family. Although I don't know what is recorded in the account books, I can imagine what is on it by looking at my father's expression.
"Your Majesty is still puzzled, why His Royal Highness the King of Jin believes that Lu Huan is innocent" Xu Taifu looked at Ye Linchen again and asked.
Hearing this, Ye Linchen hooked his lips and his tone was extremely gentle, "Father, when you sent your sons to inspect the Yellow River. Erchen once went to the state capital where Lu Huan worked to investigate, and at first Erchen thought that Lu Huan must be a rat and found out that this was not the case, but Lu Huan took a different path. He knows very well that it may not be useful to want to save people and sacrifice himself to become a benevolent, the most useful thing is to incarnate a rat and feed back to the people. ”
When the words fell, Lu Lingshan couldn't help but sigh. Lu Huan, a child, can be regarded as something he grew up watching, and he knows best what temperament he has. At first, he didn't believe it when he heard about his greed for ink, until he saw it with his own eyes later, and he had to believe it, and he also looked for him several times for this matter, and the answer was the same. After that, he decided to leave him alone, but he didn't expect that this time it would be a farewell.
When Lu Huan returned to his eyes again, the answer he got was that although he died nine times, he still had no regrets. Although the way of this child is immoral, it can truly benefit the people.
"In this way, Lu Huan chose a different path for the sake of the people, and even did not hesitate to give up his reputation," Emperor Li looked at Ye Linchen with a complicated expression and said slowly: "If this is the case, he is really a good man, but it's a pity that no matter how you say it, the crimes he committed are all conclusive evidence." He cannot be made an exception because he is alone. ”
"I can't imagine that Master Lu, there are such loyal people in your family."
Hearing Mrs. Xu's voice, Lu Lingshan didn't say anything, just looked at Emperor Li calmly.
Emperor Li, who had been annoyed for a day, waved his hand to retreat after everything was reported. Ye Linchen was left alone to go to the Wude Hall for questioning.
In the huge Wude Palace, Ye Linchen was still sitting upright, while Emperor Li was sitting on the dragon chair, intently reviewing the folds, and neither father nor son said a word. The atmosphere seemed to freeze at this moment, and the attendants did not dare to speak.
"Linchen, how about you come and see what is written on this note?" After a long time, Emperor Li raised his head and beckoned to Ye Linchen, signaling him to come over.
"The retainers obey."
After speaking, Lin Chen got up and walked over, knelt beside Emperor Li, and looked at the copy of the note in his hand, the name on the note was called, in his opinion, this book was clearly organized, and the things proposed were basically people-oriented, which was quite amazing.
"Erchen thinks this recital is well written." Hearing this, Ye Linchen thought for a while before continuing: "The organization is clear, and what is said above is a good policy that truly benefits the country and the people. ”
After hearing this, Emperor Li nodded in appreciation, as if he glanced at Ye Linchen, obviously very satisfied with his answer. Before the father and son finished speaking, they heard Zhang Ke talking outside, and it was rumored that Qi Wuyin was asking to see him outside.
