Chapter 440: Capital Expansion Plan

Zheng Tong formed a party for personal gain?

This news spread far and wide, and naturally someone deliberately spread it. is not only Shi Yunjie, who is waiting to come to power, but also a group of honorable relatives led by Su Daosan.

Because of the food stamp reform, their wealth has shrunk. The reason for Fan Wenliang's death was the reform of food stamps, and Zhou Zhe was completely opposed to his relatives and civil officials, and part of the reason was this.

Now, it's time for the wall to fall and everyone to push it.

The Imperial Historical Observatory where the Criminal Department and the Yanguan were located became the most lively place, and people ran in twos and threes, and in the end, they simply put a box directly, wrote the paper, and threw it in. In the fight against dissident thinking, a smart braincase has always been inferior to others.

Going back and forth, a large number of unverified charges were submitted to the emperor, and at the same time, there were excerpts from Zheng Tong's self-defense.

The emperor frowned when he looked at the two folds.

The gap is too big. There are so many charges on an excerpt that it seems that the person concerned is not enough to thank the world.

And the other one, the wind is light, as if he is debriefing, which is obviously not empty-hearted!

"Zheng Tong has so many crimes?" Li Chi put aside the fold and pondered in the imperial study.

Huang also knew that Zheng Tong's existence was a stumbling block to their private pockets in the newly built palace, but if the words were too much, it would be counterproductive.

"Your Majesty, or maybe the minions use the inner guard to make a difference?"

When Li Chi heard it, this seemed to be a good idea. Although I know, this can be regarded as a bad opening, after all, the duty of the internal guard is to supervise the affairs of spiritual cultivators in the world, not officials. But now the situation is special, and it seems to be good to use it once in a while.

"Go ahead and do it! ”

"The old slave understands. ”

The internal guard wants to investigate things, and the efficiency is much faster than the flashy things of the third division, thanks to the good foundation laid by Zhou Zhe and Yang Jue for several years, as well as a set of more feasible and effective methods.

The information archived by the internal guard, all kinds of information in the capital, pulled the line, posted, put it together and you can understand it.

Zheng Tong has no actual evidence of forming a party for personal gain, but there are many officials who have close contacts with him, and it is normal for court officials to have contacts, but those who have more contacts are suspicious. Zheng Tong is naturally no better, and he is very close.

Huang is very shrewd, this kind of thing is to be simmered slowly, and he has followed the emperor for decades, so he knows too well the suspicious and untrustworthy character of this lord.

"Have you checked the background of these people who came from Zheng Tong?" Li Chi frowned with the information of the internal guard.

"Yes, I have received a lot of benefits, and in addition, I have bought a lot of land for my family. ”

It seems that this is a topic that does not hurt or itch.

However, the more this is the case, the more suspicious Li Chi becomes. Huang understood that Zheng Tong was finished.

Sure enough, at the next great court meeting, Shi Fulai submitted the guilt, and Zheng Tong was also sent to prison for the final verdict of the emperor because of the charges they came up with.

Looking at the paper of the third division, Li Chi didn't say anything exaggerated, after all, the next step is to form a party for personal gain, which is a phased process.

"Are there many crimes, are there any evidence?"

Shi Fulai sighed in his heart, is it too heavy? However, he deeply remembered Shi Yunjie's entrustment, other minor crimes, and those that have no substantiated evidence, are all bargaining chips, dispensable, but there is one point, he must have caught the party and held on to it.

"Your Majesty, the three divisions have not yet been tried. Only part of the evidence has been gathered. It is mainly a very close record with Zheng Tong's important members of the imperial court. It is the confession of the worship post and the doorman of Zheng Tongfu. ”

Li Chi nodded, confirming his suspicions.

That's how people are, with the first conjecture, and then some ambiguous answers are thought to be the correct answers. Emperors are human beings, and they are no exception.

After a while, Li Chi came back to his senses from his thoughts

After all, it is the capital of the imperial court, and he is allowed to be a magistrate. ”

Shi Fulai was stunned for a moment, and he had to add two more sentences to let Zheng Tong's head move, but Shi Yunjie was so shrewd, he shook his hands, turned his head and gave Shi Fulai a look, and then said loudly

"Your Majesty is kind. ”

Long live the three calls, Your Majesty is benevolent.

Li Chi was satisfied, the officials were satisfied, and the relatives watched a big show, and Zheng Tong, who had made their wealth shrink, get this result, which was acceptable. Contented.

It was a happy outcome.

After the results of the court meeting came out, Zheng Tong, who received the holy decree, smiled bitterly, shook his head, and came out of the prison alone.

There was no one waiting for him except his son.

"After the incident, I will go to the clothes, and hide my merit and fame. Zhou Zhe can see it through, and I am fascinated. ”

Zheng Tong seemed to be talking to himself, and his son was taken aback

"Father, be cautious, the name of the Marquis of Zhongyong, it is better not to mention it. ”

Zheng Tong didn't blame his son for being careful, but said: "I have nothing to be afraid of, and they won't care what I say." You don't have to be afraid, just go through it, that's the way the world is. ”

Zheng Tong's son was stunned, what was the original appearance of the world? Everyone was hungry and fought with each other, like beasts?

There was no one to send the ten-mile long pavilion, and the officials who were good friends with Zheng Tong were sent to prison, and the derogatory ones were degraded, and indeed, there was no one to send them off.

Just when Zheng Tong was about to take a look at the capital, he went to Hexi.

A very luxurious carriage stopped.

"Shi Yunjie?"

Zheng Tong was puzzled, and his son was also surprised. It's just that the two didn't expect why he came.

"Shousuke-sama, slow down. The servant carefully placed a wooden bench next to the carriage, and Shi Yunjie stepped down from the carriage.

As soon as Zheng Tong heard the servant's address to Shi Yunjie, it seemed that everything understood, this was the hypocrisy of the victor.

"Lord Shi. Zheng Tong clenched his fists.

Shi Yunjie waved his hand proudly at this moment, and he had long lost his former modesty: "In front of you, we are all future generations." It's just that I never thought that Shi was late, and the others had already gone before they came. Now that he is busy with official business, he still looks at Haihan. ”

This is clearly a naked mockery, but Shi Yunjie never expected that this punch was in the air, because Zheng Tong saw through it.

"Nothing gave me away. But when the first assistant of the court came, it was considered to have face. I went to Hexi for 200 miles, and I spent seven years from being a political envoy to being the first assistant of the dynasty. I didn't think about it, I only did it for less than a year, and then I went into the wilderness. Haha" Zheng Tong's open-mindedness made Shi Yunjie's face stiffen, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

He Shi Yunjie is a villain, and now he is proud, if he doesn't come to ridicule him Zheng Tong, he will report the grudge of being suppressed in the household, which is his style?

"Lord Shi?" Zheng Tong smiled and shouted to the stunned Shi Yunjie.

"Huh?"

"If there is nothing important, I will go back to my hometown. After Zheng Tong finished speaking, he got into the ordinary single-horse carriage with the support of his son.

Shi Yunjie was still immersed in Zheng Tong's words.

He started as a squire, just emerged in the household department, and became a scholar, but he happened to meet Zhou Zhe and directly pressed him from the second-grade member to the place. After working hard in Henan Province for several years, I thought that this life would be over, but I didn't expect that Zhou Zhe was disgusted and in the way again, and was kicked to the court. Kicked around like a ball.

Now, how many years can you do it as the first assistant of the current dynasty?

Fan Wenliang worked so conscientiously all his life, but he died because he took someone else's cake, and he didn't want to.

Like Zheng Tong, he didn't want to.

"I'm sure I've been sitting longer than you. Shi Yunjie said secretly fiercely.

On the carriage, Zheng Tong's son asked, "Father, then Shi Yunjie came today to ridicule us and others, how can such a villain be the first assistant?"

Zheng Tong smiled and looked at his son's upright appearance in his twenties, like those arrogant generals he had ever seen, and he couldn't help but miss it

"Don't learn from him, the wicked have their own evildoers. When you get to Hexi and meet Hexi's current leader, you will know who Shi Yunjie will face in the future. ”

"Daddy. You mean Lu Douya? He's a complete villain. I really don't know why Marquis Zhongyong fell in love with him back then. ”

Zheng Tong also understood at this time and smiled: "So, I said, the wicked have their own wicked grinding." ”

Shi Yunjie sent Zheng Tong away, originally, he thought that this time he would take advantage of the spring breeze to taunt him, and watched him return to his hometown lonely, but he never thought about it, but he was questioned. I was in a particularly bad mood, so I took a strong pill and went to find a concubine in the backyard.

The next day, above the court, the imperial city repair plan, which had been postponed, was put on the agenda again, but this time, Shi Yunjie directly took the lead in saying what the emperor thought, and his plan was even bigger.

Today's capital is full of wealthy families and a large population, and the scale like before is obviously not enough, and the commercial street in the south of the city is even more well-developed, so Shi Yunjie put forward his opinion.

Expansion of the capital.

Expand the commercial street in the south of the city and expand it on the basis of the original imperial city.

This is not a suspicion of pure sycophancy, but also shows the courage of his new first assistant and the red heart that wants to do something big.

The hundred officials and relatives of the court were stunned at first, this plan seemed to be too huge.

But then, one by one, their faces turned red, because they saw an opportunity to make a fortune.

Near the capital, there are a lot of their land, if it is included in the capital, it is land acquisition. If you have no owner, as long as you find the governor of the capital and buy it, you can make a windfall.

The Mansion Yin of the capital was also there, and he naturally felt the naked, greedy gaze, and his heart was trembling, this was simply a long drought and a rainy day! In the previous court, he Jingzhao Mansion Yin was a coolie who killed people and washed the ground. Whether it's Zhou Zhe or Jiao Dajun, no one has taken him seriously, and there is no oil and water, but now it's good, and it's hot in an instant.

Li Chi was also moved, his face was slightly red, was there any better reason than helping him cultivate the roots of the Imperial City by the way? No, and he killed two birds with one stone, and he couldn't ask for it.

"Let's talk about it. ”

As soon as the words fell.

Zhu Yuancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, stood up

Wechen objected. ”

The reason for his opposition is very practical, the expansion is so large, and every ten miles of the city wall is expanded, it means that the cost will rise exponentially, and the country has only been restored for a few years, where can there be so much money?

Moreover, the current city wall and city defense are all exquisite, and when the time comes, the forbidden army will also be expanded, and the cost will be increased every year.
