Chapter 166: Ji Shangshu

The calculations in the eldest princess's mansion didn't know in midnight, and even if he knew, he would only laugh it off.

The Empress Dowager's affairs have been completed, he has returned to Beijing, and the court has naturally become an indispensable task.

It coincided with the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and almost all the officials in Beijing were present.

The emperor praised the merits of treating Quyang epidemic at midnight, and rewarded a lot of good things, and then there was no more.

While this shocked the hearts of many officials, they also played a lot of small problems.

The treatment of the epidemic is a unique great achievement, and the emperor only rewarded the nineteenth master, but there was no other expression.

Although the things rewarded are not young and old, for the virtuous king who has become a first-class king, he is favored by the emperor, and the regent is regarded as a parent, so those things should be ignored.

Together with the Lin Shen Doctor who went, he got the title of 'Xiangnan Hou', although he was not given a mansion, but he was also rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, how is it the value of a mansion?

But the nineteenth master, the person in charge, actually just rewarded some things outside his body?

Could it be that the emperor's favor for the nineteenth master is superficial?

But if you think about it carefully, the nineteenth master is already a first-class king, if he has just been rewarded, wouldn't it be the same as the regent, and it seems that it is not appropriate.

But why does it feel weird?

Also, the Nineteenth Master is obviously an inspector from the southeast, so it can't be just one work to cure the epidemic, right?

But the emperor didn't even mention anything else?

Is this really that the Nineteenth Master has done nothing on this trip except for the epidemic, or is there something else hidden?

In short, it wasn't until the rejection of the dynasty that almost everyone was troubled by one thing in their minds when they saw the nineteenth master being called away by the emperor-what did the emperor mean?

&

returned to the Criminal Department, dealt with some cases that had been piled up for a long time, and it was already dark, and I returned to King Xian's Mansion at midnight.

There are already figures in the guest hall who are constantly waiting back and forth. Tobe Shangshu is a man in his early forties with a somewhat convex roof, slightly fat.

As soon as he saw Midnight come back, he was so anxious that he forgot to salute and rushed out.

"Nineteenth Master, something happened。。。。。。

Midnight raised his hand and intercepted the words behind him: "It's the emperor who ordered you not to check the whereabouts of Quyang and Yin, right?" ”

"Yes, the emperor sent the ministers to the imperial study in the morning, and said a lot of things to the ministers, but in and out of the words, they all asked the ministers and the household department not to ask about Quyang's greed for ink and silver."

He had just been passed on, and the emperor was concerned about the hard work of the household department in the past few days, and praised his achievements, which made him feel a little fluttering, but the words came out later, if it wasn't for his good concentration, he had to ask why?

It's not a few taels, it's not a few dozen taels, it's not a few hundred taels, it's tens of millions of taels!

Entered the guest hall, came to the main seat and sat down, just when the next person came to serve tea, midnight just signaled Ji Shangshu to sit down, and waited for the next person to leave before speaking: "Since the emperor does not let the investigation, there is a reason for not allowing the investigation, and your household department obeys the order." ”

"But 。。。。。。" That's too much, do you really ignore it?

Ji Shangshu was a little disappointed, King Ping had told him before leaving, there was something in the household, even if he had something to do, as long as the Nineteenth Master was in Beijing, he could come to ask for advice and ask for help, this matter was so big, the Nineteenth Master actually asked him not to check.

Midnight took a sip of tea, and a light smile appeared on his face, it was the cave-top hibiscus he liked: "Ji Shangshu is not an official in the court for a day or two, he should know what to do and what not to do." ”

The case of greedy ink was poked out by the master, and the master is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?

Ji Shangshu didn't almost choke to death by the tea, and after taking a deep breath, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Nineteenth Master, the treasury has been lacking all these years, and the relationship between you and King Ping should also be clear.

Don't hide it from the nineteenth master, the treasury can't even get the monthly gifts of the officials next month.

The minister also played the emperor on this matter, but the emperor asked the minister to hand it over to King Ping first.

Nineteenth master, King Ping is still in Jiangnan now, that is, King Ping is in the capital, and there is nowhere to come, how will King Ping deal with it? ”

Seeing that Midnight's brows were already slightly twisted, Ji Shangshu's tone was also anxious: "Nineteenth Master, this matter should not have bothered you. King Ping had an explanation before leaving Beijing, and asked the ministers to come and discuss with the nineteenth master in advance, and the ministers and ministers had no choice.

If the emperor decrees to investigate the matter of embezzlement of ink, it is a temporary emptiness of the treasury, and the minister can also explain it to his peers, but now that he does not check it, as soon as the half moon passes, where will the minister get the silver to be served? ”

It was a nuisance, and Midnight suddenly wanted to laugh.

The emperor is a dignified king of a country, and he actually calculates his son like this, he is still just helping King Jing to come to the surface, and the emperor has already begun to let his two sons fight.

Midnight finally understood that the emperor had summoned him to the imperial study this morning, but he didn't talk about it seriously, he just cared about whether he encountered danger and any fun on his trip, and even the two children he adopted were concerned.

Originally......

Midnight also began to be worthless for the second brother, greedy for the prince and the royal family. It is the people who suffer, his own people. The emperor did not go to the people's welfare, but used this matter to balance his two sons.

Seeing that he was silent in the middle of the night, Ji Shangshu became even more anxious: "Nineteenth Master, there are some words that should not be said for the courtiers, but if King Ping believes you, the ministers will also believe you." ”

He also fought hard, and some words came out, which was the crime of extermination.

Seeing Midnight nodding calmly, Ji Shangshu continued to say with a fine sweat on his forehead: "Nineteen masters, King Ping has a letter to the minister, although King Ping did not say it explicitly, but in the letter, the minister can also see the meaning of three.

The greed for ink is obviously done by the Wang family.

The minister knows that the emperor has been jealous of the Wang family over the years, but this is obviously unfavorable to the Wang family, why did the emperor ignore it?

When the treasury was handed over to King Ping, it was as empty as it is now, and at that time, the court still owed four customs a year's military salary, and every time the military salary was paid again, this was two years' military salary.

King Ping went to the states day and night, was treated coldly, was oppressed, and was so sick on the way that he almost didn't burn stupid, [and gave a few examples of how King Ping almost lost his life due to taxes], and it took half a year to get these military salaries.

The Nineteenth Master doesn't know, the silver in the treasury, which one or two coins were not obtained by King Ping little by little over the years?

But that's it。。。。。。 Minister, minister, minister is very aggrieved. ”

Ji Shangshu is also a lover of personality, and his original timidity became a grievance for his master in the back.

What he said, Midnight didn't understand very clearly.

But when the treasury was handed over to the second brother, it was empty, which he knew, and the Nine Emperor Uncle had mentioned it. The money in the treasury over the years is not entirely correct to say that the second brother has accumulated it single-handedly, but the second brother's credit is indeed indelible.
