Not long after taking office, Xie Mingsheng, the head of the household department, was ordered by the emperor to be confined to the mansion, heavily guarded, and no one was allowed to visit the door.

This news spread all over the capital.

If I remember correctly, when Xie Shangshu first took office, the emperor praised him again and again.

And this Xie Shangshu is considerate of the people's feelings and does not put that stinky shelf.

The people's impression of him is also a good word, why was he grounded by the emperor?

This matter has to start slowly from half a month ago.

As the cold winter approached and the end of the year, the imperial court had to allocate funds to the household department, and it was necessary to start preparing the grain and grass for the camps and the things needed for the winter.

In particular, the fighters on the border should give priority to more and must not be treated badly.

This is a big project, and it is also the biggest errand since Xie Mingsheng took office.

That being the case, communication and understanding of many things have to be done in person to the military headquarters.

After coming and going, they became familiar with each other with the military department Shangshu, Su Xiangsi's grandfather Master Li.

Master Li was also surprised that Xie Mingsheng was thoughtful and had novel ideas.

It's no wonder that he was able to become a scholar at a young age.

All preparations are progressing according to plan, and a small portion of food and winter clothing has been delivered to the camp.

The whole process was too smooth, but it made Xie Mingsheng feel a little more worried inexplicably.

One morning, Lord Jing Zhaoyin presented a secret letter to the emperor in front of hundreds of officials.

It is claimed that this secret letter was delivered to him overnight by someone who was in camp last night.

It was about the camp, and he didn't dare to take it lightly.

The emperor was furious after reading it, and directly named Xie Mingsheng, the secretary of the household department.

The latter didn't know what was in the secret letter, so he could only kneel down honestly and obey the order first.

It turned out that when the second batch of supplies and food was delivered to the camp, it was discovered by the adjutant general.

The clothes on the top layer are thick and warm, and the stitches are also careful.

But the further down it goes, the more inappropriate it feels.

Why is this clothing getting thinner?

I hurriedly checked and found that the clothes at the bottom were very thin enough to withstand the winter climate.

When you look at the grain again, you can make the soldiers angry and scold.

The most indispensable thing for soldiers is food that can replenish their physical strength.

What does it mean to bring in Chinese cabbage with rotten leaves?

Could it be that the emperor made people so confused?

The adjutant general felt unusual, and after consulting with General Qingping, he decided to write a secret letter and send it back to the capital overnight.

In previous years, the supplies received by the soldiers were several times better than those received now.

Besides, there is no shortage of silver in the war week, nor is there a shortage of fields, let alone people.

He has never been harsh on the supplies that the soldiers need.

Looking at the 100 years of the war week, it is still the first time that I have encountered such a foolish thing and want to get by.

The emperor ordered Jing Zhaoyin to investigate the matter, and even asked Xie Mingsheng to transfer the rest of the matter in his hand to Lord Li, the secretary of the military department.

The silver was also given, and he dared to cut corners.

Where did the rest of the money go?

This is bitter Xie Mingsheng.

The money had indeed been spent, and it was clearly remembered in the account books.

It is not enough to just talk about this change in the middle, and strong evidence is needed.

Embezzling the treasury silver is a big sin of losing your head.

Someone actually did something in the process of transporting it.

Naturally, he knew that he was wronged, but this evidence was inevitably too difficult to find.

The position of Lord Shangshu has not yet been hot, and it looks like he is about to change masters.

I can only pin all my hopes on Lord Li, the secretary of the military department. One more day of grounding will be worse for him.

Duan Xiuyuan is only a small official position in the household department for the time being.

For a month, I have been preparing materials together by Xie Mingsheng's side, and I know how honest and rigorous Xie Mingsheng is.

Now he actually said that he was greedy for the silver taels of the imperial court, and he refused to believe any evidence in front of him.

Even kneeling outside the Shangyang Hall and trying to intercede for Xie Mingsheng, he was severely reprimanded by the emperor.

Because of this accident, the movement of the military department couldn't help but slow down a lot.

Everything was strictly reviewed before the materials were allowed to leave the city.

Master Li, the secretary of the military department, not only has to help Xie Mingsheng find out the truth, but also has to prevent his colleagues from being plotted by others.

Hands and feet on the materials needed by the soldiers, it can be seen how sinister and cold the hearts of the people behind the hands are.

In order to pull the ministers off the horse, unscrupulous means, it can be seen how sinister the purpose is.

Li Shengnian and Li Jianing are both his sons, and each is an aspiring talent.

In order to hide his edge, he could only be wronged in the military department and take a small position.

Fortunately, after this incident, the two of them were able to quickly take over the follow-up affairs.

The atmosphere of low pressure has been permeating the household and military headquarters for several days.

Master Li has not recovered for several days, and there is a big black circle under his nose.

The tiredness on his face was palpable.

The other party did not leave any clues to follow, and he and his men tried several methods, but the effect was minimal.

On the contrary, the number of excerpts to impeach Xie Mingsheng increased overnight.

How many people complimented before, now how many people push the wall.

He had the patience to check slowly, but Xie Mingsheng couldn't afford to wait.

The head of the military department didn't have time to report and ran into the main hall quickly, beads of sweat on his forehead.

Anxiously said: "King Yu sent someone to arrest the eldest master and the second master. It is said that it is secretly covering people to exchange materials! ”

"What!"

Master Li stood up in shock, took a few steps around the desk and hurriedly asked.

"What does the good King Yu mean? Where are the people now? ”

"I've been detained and taken to Jingzhao Yin Mansion, my lord, let's take a look!"

Exchange the supplies that the soldiers need?!

How is this possible?!

The last thing in the world to do is his two sons.

Jingzhao Yin's Mansion closed its door, and no matter how Lord Li beat the drum, there was no movement.

rushed to King Yu and was directly blasted out.

In desperation, he could only enter the palace to intercede.

It's still a step later than King Yu.

He'd already presented all the ins and outs, as well as the secret letters.

Master Li had the upper hand again.

"The emperor is clear, the son of the old minister is diligent and loyal, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a rebellious thing."

has served the court all his life, and he is sincere to the court, Li Yuwen naturally understands.

In addition, it is Su Xiangsi's maternal grandfather, and he has never had any suspicions.

His gaze swept over King Yu, not stopping on him for half a minute.

Now I have to be wronged first.

"King Yu, tell me everything you know."

King Yu held his confidence, and his lofty eyes seemed to be able to directly pronounce the death sentence of Master Li.

"Five days ago, another huge batch of supplies left the city. According to the list submitted, there is no problem at all. But there was an accident recently, and this king had to be more careful. ”

said that he deliberately stopped talking, and his eyes looked lightly at Master Li, who was kneeling on the ground and did not look up.

continued: "This king is afraid that Lord Li will be inseparable from Xie Shangshu's affairs alone, so he sent someone to follow secretly. Guess what the king's men discovered? ”

The schadenfreude in his throat made Master Li and Li Yuwen unhappy.

After the people from Zhenbei came, King Yu's attitude was obviously much more arrogant.

In the past, there was a temptation to reverse the views of ministers.

Now it's a long temper, and he refutes it directly on the spot without showing mercy.

I'm not afraid that I'll lose support.
