Chapter Seventy-Two: A Thorough Investigation of Officials
The silver taels for disaster relief quickly counted an astonishing amount and was arranged for safekeeping in the hands of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Bai Shangen, as a member of Dali Temple, suddenly had an idea.
Since the last time he donated 100,000 taels of silver, there is not much left, and the Zhenguo Gong has a very strong control over the money in the house now, whenever Bai Shangen looks at his wife who is pregnant with Liujia, he is very unwilling.
"Big brother, what's the matter with you calling me over so late?"
Bethune ran over in confusion, Bai Shangen looked at him quietly and said, "Little brother, do you still want to live?" The emperor is now unusual for the two of us. ”
"Big brother, what do you say?" Bethune didn't know that the current situation could be regarded as a dilemma, and His Majesty didn't say anything for a long time, making them like ingredients in a pot, very tormented.
"I plan to use the disaster relief silver taels, where there are a total of 10 million taels, we will take 1 million, we will flee to Luoyang to join the eldest princess, there is the back cover of the eldest princess, the emperor can't just arrest people, we will live a good life there."
Bai Shangen had already planned it, and Bethune was a little moved when he heard it, and when he thought of his family, he asked, "How does my father explain it?" ”
Recalling what Zhenguo Gong said that day, Bai Shangen was unhappy, and said impatiently: "He can do whatever he likes, my father will not go with us, just by virtue of his identity as Zhenguo Gong, and the queen mother is still inside, the emperor can't move him." ”
Although it is not filial piety, Bai Shangen still has to do this, both of them know that their father even relies on the queen mother to protect himself, where can he keep himself, it is better to plan well now and wait until the emperor decides in the future.
So the two decided, and began to secretly change people, preparing the route, in the eyes of others, Bai Shangen seemed to be afraid of the emperor and stopped a lot, but only they themselves knew how important the current plan was.
The next morning, Bai Shangen didn't plan to speak, but Zhuo Yu's next words made her jaw drop in shock, thoroughly inspect the Baiguan Mansion, once she finds out something, she will do things according to the rules, and it is proposed by herself.
Bai Shangen's eyes were huge, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, ...... you are?"
"Ah, Lord Bai has merit, I will naturally reward you, this matter will be left to the regent, I like the regent's fair and just attitude."
Seeing that the regent received the order, Zhuo Yu was very happy, and said, "If there is nothing to do, let's retire." ”
Sending the emperor away, the regent and his party also left, leaving Bai Shangen with a stunned look, and at the same time, people immediately surrounded him and accused Bai Shangen. At this time, everyone was dizzy, where to take care of what system.
"It's really my good nephew, you see what you do, in order to open up for yourself, you actually put me in, you see that you think your life is long." Xu Gong touched his beard and said very dissatisfied.
"Lord Bai, you put us aside to please the emperor, if something happens to me, I will definitely not let you go." A waiter who has only been a newcomer for three months said with tears in his eyes.
"Bai Shangen, you are so disappointing, I have been friends with you for so many years, but now you have sold me, it is really a good calculation, don't think about it when something happens to me!"
Seventy-seven-eighty-eight surrounded Bai Shangen to denounce, where could Bai Shangen withstand it, and pulled his younger brother back to the house quickly, the carriage was very worried, and the bumpy heart of the carriage also followed the drums.
"Big brother, why did the emperor say that today?" Bethune naturally knew that his eldest brother had never entered the palace at all, so how could he make an idea to His Majesty, today it was clear that Bai Shangen would not be happy.
"Hmph, it's really good to sow discord, the emperor has really grown up." Bai Shangen regretted that the Bai family had definitely lost its prestige in today's matter, and it was still too risky to use the disaster relief money at the moment, and it had to be put aside.
As soon as he returned to the mansion, he waited outside the door with an angry face, and as soon as Bai Shangen entered the door, he scolded his head and face, after all, the people who denounced it came to the mansion to throw eggs, how could this matter make the Zhenguo Gong, who has always been beautiful, endure it.
"Father, needless to say, the money is what they are willing to be greedy for, it has nothing to do with me, these things are all caused by themselves, and my father can't put it on me if he wants to beat or scold."
Bai Shangen was fed up, and stopped Zhenguo Gong from raising the family law, grabbed a handful and threw it down angrily, and the atmosphere left, Bethune has always been used to following his eldest brother, and he left immediately.
"It's a big rebellion, it's a big rebellion." Zhenguo Gong's hand trembled and held the direction they left, at this time he still firmly believed in his heart that the emperor did not dare to touch their Bai family, the power of the Bai family would never fall, and the emperor would rely on the Bai family.
Bai Shangen, who returned to his yard, was tired, but found that his wife was not at home today, and asked several servants and said that his wife should be in the room and did not go out, which made Bai Shangen not only suspicious.
So Bai Shangen sat in the room with a black face and waited for two hours before coming back, Li was flustered, but he still stepped forward and softly put his hand into Bai Shangen's hand.
"My husband came back early today, why didn't he let the girls go out to find me, I was in the rouge shop that I often went to, although I was pregnant and used less, but the concubine couldn't help but want to see it."
Li looked at Bai Shangen coquettishly, how could this look make Bai Shangen not soft-hearted, forget all the guesses for a moment and then said: "Remember to tell me when you go out in the future, otherwise I will be more worried." ”
"Yes, husband." Li happily put his head on Bai Shangen's chest, but his heart was beating non-stop, and he was very nervous.
The next day, Bai Shangen was already frightened, and there were two fewer ministers in the first minister, because he had been imprisoned for corruption, and a total of five million taels of silver were seized, and the emperor also praised Bai Shangen's good idea.
The next day, the vacant position above the court had been filled, but there was still one less person, because the embezzlement of the previous water conservancy project caused hundreds of people to wander and lose their places at that time, and they had been sent to the frontier early in the morning, and the family was reduced to white ding.
On the third day, the fourth day, this kind of thing has been repeated, and Bai Shangen finally couldn't hold on to it on the fifth day and got sick and didn't dare to go to the early dynasty, and Zhuo Yu also agreed distressedly.
For a while, all the people involved in the Bai family plummeted, and everyone ran to the regent, and Bai Shangen felt that those people were going to come out and kill him when he walked on the road.
Bai Shangen was really sad, and that night he and Bethune planned to save the silver and the two, intending to escape.
