Chapter 276: Elder Grievances (1)
Lu Xuan has encountered countless complicated cases since she became an official, but it is the first one that is so widely implicated, if one of them accidentally offends a powerful person, I am afraid that her life will be even more difficult in the future.
"The most important thing at the moment is to find out the remnants of the party, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Gu Huanli looked worried.
Lu Xuan was surprised: "Since this matter is so important, why did His Highness hand it over to me for review?" I'm not very qualified, if something goes wrong here......"
In fact, it doesn't matter what qualifications are, what matters is that with Lu Xuan's identity at this time, he has already trespassed when he goes to check the household department, not to mention that he has to go directly to the cabinet.
But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Gu Huanli: "This king has no one to trust in the court, Your Majesty is suspicious of this king all the year round, if you let others investigate, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be counterattacked." ”
Gu Huanli's words made Lu Xuan stunned, according to his meaning, is she the only person he can trust now? She couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.
"Okay, in the next few days, Ni will live in the palace with peace of mind, and it will not be too late to thoroughly investigate the case when the king is better." Gu Huanli instructed Lu Xuan, but she was a little anxious.
"Since finding out the facts of the case can help His Highness get out of danger, then His Highness can recuperate from his injuries, and I will investigate." Lu Xuan said that he was going to collect information related to the case, but was pulled back by Gu Huanli.
He didn't say anything special, but asked her with a serious face: "Do everything according to the king's orders, and don't act rashly without the king's permission." ”
Lu Xuan was stunned by the sudden ferocity between his eyebrows, and then nodded in confusion.
Gu Huanli breathed a sigh of relief, at present, all forces are eyeing the Lu family, and Wang Yong's failure to assassinate Lu Xuan is difficult to guarantee that he will not make a comeback, with his current situation, he really can't guarantee that he can protect her thoroughly.
Lu Xuan really wanted to rely on her own strength to do something for Gu Huanli, but his attitude was so tough, she couldn't openly oppose him, so she could only wait for the opportunity according to his instructions.
On the other hand, the head of the household, who was implicated in the case, learned that it was his former subordinate who was in charge of the trial, and he was confused for a while, he thought that he had done nothing wrong, but he did not let the matter be made public.
It wasn't until Chen Weizhi, who didn't know the situation, came to visit that the two started to discuss-
"The adult has always acted above board, and the lower officials have always seen it in their eyes, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, if the adult has any grievances, he can say it, and if he wants to come, Lu Xuan will definitely remember the old feelings and help the adult wash away his grievances." Chen Weizhi said.
This matter has just had some pointers, and Chen Weizhi didn't know anything about what was involved, but he relied on his inner judgment to support the Hubu Shangshu.
But as an insider, Hubu Shangshu thought about it more, he naturally knew that Chen Weizhi was for his good, but this matter was very important, and it was really not something that could be explained in a few words.
After being silent for a long time, Hubu Shangshu spoke: "The past, Chen Langzhong don't ask more, the less you know, the safer it is for you." ”
Having said that, but when it comes to this, he clearly knows that letting this matter go unchecked will bring unpredictable disasters to the Hubu Shangshu, how can Chen Weizhi sit idly by?
"My lord, just tell the lower officials, you have the grace to treat the lower officials, and the lower officials really can't watch you in danger." Chen Weizhi was unwilling to give up the opportunity to save the book of the household department.
Because of his understanding of Chen Weizhi's personality and his sincerity at the moment, Hubu Shangshu sighed: "It is said that they are all old things, you shouldn't inquire more, but since you insist on asking, it doesn't hurt to tell you." ”
In this way, the head of the household department told Chen Weizhi a very long story-
Fifteen years ago, the first emperor was still alive, and he held the third brocade box handed down by the Taizu Emperor himself, and there was a treasure map inside, and the place indicated on the treasure map was a military hangar.
The weapons there were all made by the best craftsmen of the Taizu Emperor, and later with the passage of time, the craftsmanship of some craftsmen was gradually lost, and most of the weapons in them were no longer able to be built.
Emperor Taizu hid the weapon in the military hangar, handed over the treasure map to the Jinling Feng family as the third brocade box for safekeeping, and ordered his descendants to hand over the treasure map to a peace-loving monarch who cared about the world.
Emperor Liang Shun, the father of Emperor Liang Qin, was the right person in the mouth of Emperor Taizu, but not long after Emperor Liang Shun ascended the throne, Feng's family died in a natural disaster, and the treasure map disappeared.
It wasn't until many years later that someone discovered the whereabouts of the missing treasure map.
"It is rumored that the first emperor's staff, Lord Niu Yingniu, had some connections with the Feng clan, and later some people even claimed that the descendants of the Feng family handed over the treasure map to Lord Niu, but as for the truth or falsehood of this, there is no way to investigate." Tobe Shangshu said.
Chen Weizhi vaguely remembered something: "This Lord Niu is a great Confucian who vouched for Lu Xuan's birth back then? Since he learned Lu Xuan's identity, he secretly investigated these.
At the beginning, Lu Xuan was declared a male and successfully became the eldest son of the Lu family, which was Niu Ying's guarantee in front of the first emperor, so it seems that there is some relationship between him and the Lu family.
It's just that Chen Weizhi's age doesn't seem to know these things, and Tobe Shangshu can't help but be surprised: "How did you know about things so far ago?" "Huaheng Academy
Chen Weizhi was stunned when asked like this, he couldn't say that he did the investigation because he knew that Lu Xuan was his daughter and was worried that her identity would be exposed.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Weizhi replied casually: "Xiaguan also sometimes heard my father mention it by chance. ”
Tobe Shangshu did not doubt it, and then nodded:
"Yes, Lu Yan was an official in the cabinet at the beginning, and he did have some friendship with Lord Niu, the struggle between the Lu family and the concubine was fierce, and the concubine actually doubted the identity of the eldest son of the Lu family, so Lord Niu came forward to make a guarantee."
When he said this, Tobe Shangshu only regarded it as absurd, with a smile on his face.
But Chen Weizhi, who knew the truth, couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he stood aside, if Hubu Shangshu knew that Lu Xuan was really a woman, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to laugh.
Talking about this topic all the time couldn't help but make Chen Weizhi a little uncomfortable, so he quickly changed the topic: "What about later?" Is the treasure map really in the hands of the cow-sama? ”
Tobe Shangshu sighed helplessly: "What a treasure map, what is hidden in it is a murderous knife." ”
This statement is not unfounded, at the beginning, the Liang State lacked weapons, and often relied on the worst swords in the wars with other countries, and never had the upper hand.
Later, the secret that the third brocade box left by the ancestor emperor was hidden in the drawings of the military hangar was leaked out of nowhere, which provoked Emperor Liang Qin, who had just ascended the throne, to search for it.
And this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make great contributions, and everyone in the DPRK and China is even more eyeing it.
Later, it was rumored that the treasure map fell into the hands of Niu Ying, and the attitude of the ministers of the court and the central government towards him changed suddenly, and some flattered him all day long and were close to him; Some secretly had the idea of killing people and taking treasures.
Xu was aware of these abnormalities, and Niu Ying relied on the Shang Fang sword given by the first emperor to ask for heavy troops to protect himself and resign from his official position and live in seclusion, but Shang Fang's sword cut the ministers, but he cut off the greed of people.
Even if Niu Ying hid farther, those who coveted the treasure map still pestered him in every way.
After spending less than two years outside like this, it was not a clean life, and after worrying all day long, Niu Ying's body was finally overwhelmed and died.
"What about the treasure map after the death of Lord Niu? Is there no one who has gone to his place of life? Chen Weizhi asked.
Hubu Shangshu suddenly sneered contemptuously: "How could it not be? Those people were eager to dig three feet into the ground, but the treasure map was not in the hands of Lord Niu at all, so how could they find it? ”
"Not in the hands of Lord Niu? That's ......," Chen Weizhi was puzzled.
Tobe Shangshu sighed and said, "Speaking of which, that treasure map really hurt a lot of people." ”
After Niu Ying's death, he couldn't find a treasure map in his residence, so those people frantically pestered his family, and later even let go of everyone who was good friends with him, and the one who was most implicated was Lu Xuan's father Lu Yan.
Lu Yan was an official in the cabinet back then, and he was also an upright lord like Chen Weizhi, Emperor Liang Qin's new emperor ascended the throne, and he was often taught by him in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military because of his mistakes.
This is simply an insult to Emperor Liang Qin, who already has a strong sense of self-esteem, but what Lu Yan said is true, and whenever he talks about it, there will be people in the court who will echo him, and Emperor Liang Qin can't do anything to him.
Until the matter of the treasure map involved Lu Yan in it, people with ulterior motives took advantage of Emperor Liang Qin's dissatisfaction with him to try their best to frame him.
Unlike Niu Ying, Lu Yan doesn't have any friends on weekdays, everything belongs to the Lu family, if the treasure map is really on him, then as long as he collapses, he can easily be searched out from the Lu family.
Therefore, several ministers who were officials in the Ministry of War united with the officials in the cabinet who were dissatisfied with Lu Yan, and wanted to charge him with abusing his private power and having no law.
The cabinet was appointed by Emperor Liang Qin to inspect the six ministries, and Lu Yan was assigned to the household department to inspect as a high-ranking person in the cabinet.
The original history of the household order, that is, the household department Shangshu standing in front of Chen Weizhi now, caused the treasury to lose 10,000 taels of gold due to negligence, and he was not aware of the lack of experience in taking office as a new official.
Then someone secretly put the 10,000 taels of gold on the spot in the name of Lu Yan, so that he didn't notice it when he checked it.
Afterwards, 10,000 taels of gold were taken away again, and when it was passed to Emperor Liang Qin, it became Lu Yan's corruption and perversion of the law.
Emperor Liang Qin was already quite disgusted with Lu Yan, and immediately seized the opportunity at this time.
