Chapter 421: The Jing Zhaowo Case Begins
At the beginning of October, the discussion among the court officials about the recruitment department had just subsided, and there was a major incident in Jingzhao's court, which shocked the eyes of the court officials.
One night, the imperial historian Gong Ruxi's house was robbed. After several thieves were discovered by the servants of the Gong family, they fled in the area of Jingtai Street, causing a lot of commotion, causing many people's families to get up and see what was going on.
Those thieves, in order to block the pursuit of the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers, finally abandoned the "stolen goods" and fled. Several large bags of things were deliberately scattered on Jingtai Street by them, so the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion and the guards who opened the door all saw a picture that they had never seen in their lives.
In the dim light, there is a dazzling sight. The silver tickets scattered everywhere and the treasures shining on the ground are nothing, the key is that it has spread most of Jingtai Street! Those treasures that don't know the value, but look at them are incomparably valuable, and they almost blinded these people's eyes!
The imperial historian Gong Ruxi's family has so many treasures! Moreover, these are only stolen by a few thieves, so how many treasures does the Gong family have! โโThese are the unanimous thoughts of the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion and the guards of the family.
These ideas of theirs, as soon as they spread ten, ten to hundreds, the genius had a little light, and the news that the Gong family was rich and rivaled the country spread all over the upper echelons of Jingzhao officialdom, making the important ministers of Jingzhao frown.
Jingtai Street lives in the three grades of the imperial court. The sight of what they had seen in their homes reached the ears of their masters as quickly as possible.
Because of these thieves, the wealth and treasures of the Gong family were clearly exposed in front of the Jingzhao officials. And these treasures are so heavy and numerous. The Jingzhao officials, who had been in the world for a long time, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
How can there be so many treasures among the three rank members of the court? How can there be so many silver tickets? Scattered silver tickets don't count. There are also stacks of silver tickets scattered in the bags! The Gong family will have so much money, and there must be a cat in it!
Immediately, Yang Jianrui, the middle of the imperial history, wrote to impeach Gong Ruxi, pointing out that he took advantage of the position of the imperial historian, and involved a large amount of property and a huge amount, and implored Emperor Jingxing to issue a thorough investigation of the matter. To the right dynasty.
The officials all know that Yang Jianrui's impeachment must be true - the treasures scattered on Jingtai Street. It's still in Jingzhao Mansion now. Those treasures must be undoubtedly the Gong family, and there are several heirlooms of the Gong family.
Yang Jianrui's request was immediately granted by Emperor Jingxing. even skipped the link of making Gong Ruxi defend himself. When the words "rich rival the country" reached the ears of Emperor Jingxing. Emperor Jingxing's face immediately turned green.
The wealth of a third-grade member can be matched with that of a country, how can Emperor Jingxing, the monarch of the country, be embarrassed? Regardless of whether Gong Ruxi is corrupt or not, the wealth owned by the Gong family must come from an unknown source! Besides, now the household department is short of money, the Gong family. It's copied!
Under the will of Emperor Jingxing, the officials of the Imperial Historian and Dali Temple were supervised. The Gong family was raided, and more treasures were found in the secret room of the Gong family. And these treasures also blinded the officials of Yushitai and Dali Temple.
Those treasures, even as important ministers of the court, have never had the opportunity to see so many!
So far, the corruption and bribery of Gong Ruxi, the imperial historian, has been exposed, which has caused a great shock in the Jingzhao officialdom. Because, the official who is corrupt and bribe-taking is the chief official of the Yushitai who is in charge of supervising officials and correcting the style, which is hateful and ridiculous, and it is simply a big mistake in the world!
The angry eyes of the courtiers made Gong Ruxi's face pale, and he was shocked and almost couldn't stand. There was a thief last night, and now there is Yang Jianrui's impeachment, and then there is a raid, and the rapid development of things caught him off guard.
After the thief's incident, the people on Jingtai Street all focused on the Gong family, and he didn't have the opportunity to transfer the treasures in the family at all. In desperation, he had to transfer them to the secret room, but they were found by the officials of Yushitai and Dali Temple!
So many treasures and so much money have been accumulated by him since the thirty-sixth year of Changtai, and he has never had a chance to use them, and now, all of them have been confiscated!
And what happened after being confiscated was no longer under Gong Ruxi's control, he could only truthfully explain the origin of these treasures in order to atone for his crimes, and thus implicate the cotton clothes case of the Ministry of Households!
First of all, among the treasures of the Gong family confiscated, there is one treasure that is the most eye-catching. This is a bronze statue, this square statue is deep and majestic, engraved with a simple animal face pattern, and there is a faintly recognizable inscription such as "cast by Yagong". This bronze statue surprised the officials of Yushitai and Dali Temple.
They all know that this Fang Zun is the famous Yagong Fang Zun; What they know more is that this sub-father Fang Zun was originally owned by the Bian family! This is a treasure given to the Bian family by the first emperor! Back then, Concubine Mu had a meritorious role in saving the car, and Emperor Changtai showed his gratitude and grace, so he gave this Fang Zun to the Bian family.
When the first emperor rewarded Fang Zun, there was a rebellion of King Sheng, which did not cause any repercussions in the court, but the officials all remembered that the second father Fang Zun was in the Bian family.
But how could such a treasure, a heavy treasure given by the first emperor, be in the Gong family?
Gong Ruxi confessed that the reason why this treasure was in the Gong family was given to him by Bian Zhihe, the purpose was to bribe and win him over, so that he could become Bian Zhihe's force and help Bian Zhihe act in the court. For this reason, Gong Ruxi helped Bian Zhihe do a lot of things, including borrowing barren grain to impeach Jiang Chenghai and secretly changing the cotton clothes of the household department.
Gong Ruxi and Mu Xiuji impeached Jiang Chenghai, and Jiang Chenghai was dismissed for preparing grain for shortage, which was not long ago, and Jingzhao officials knew about it. However, what does this stealing change of household cotton clothes refer to?
Under Gong Ruxi's narration, Emperor Jingxing and the courtiers learned that the cotton clothes that were originally transported to Hanoi Road by the household department were actually manipulated! The originally thick cotton clothes were actually replaced with straw, just to prevent the Zhao Division from successfully quelling the chaos!
And all of this was done under the instruction of Bian Zhihe, and Hongluqing Mu Xiuji and the household agent Shangshu Juan were all involved!
Gong Ruxi's accusation made He Kenan's face extremely ugly. He was in charge of presiding over the trial of Gong Ruxi's corruption and bribery case, but he didn't expect that there was another case in the case!
Gong Ruxi's corruption and bribery are shocking enough, but I didn't expect that there were other important ministers involved, among them, there was even a second-grade Shangshu right servant! It is the sum of Bian Zhihe, one of the former four ministers and the minister left by the first emperor!
In particular, the matter of stealing cotton clothes mentioned by Gong Ruxi is the most serious, which involves the situation of the Recruiting Division, Hanoi Province and Dayong, and the matter is no longer a matter of corruption and bribery of officials of the three grades, but a matter related to the long-term rule of Dayong.
As the interrogation deepened, the things that Gong Ruxi said were dug up one by one, and the relevant people were also summoned to Dali Temple one by one to answer.
Bian Zhihe naturally denied Gong Ruxi's accusations, and all the words of bribery and co-opting forces were all made up by Gong Ruxi, just to reduce the punishment.
As for why Yafu Fangzun was in the Gong family, it was very simple, because Yafu Fangzun had been stolen two months ago. The Bian family was searching for Fang Zun's whereabouts everywhere, but they didn't expect that they would be in the Gong family, Bian Zhihe only admitted the responsibility of taking care of the treasure ineffectively, and refused to admit that this Fang Zun was used by him to bribe Gong Ruxi, and there was no such thing as stealing cotton clothes.
Hongluqing Mu Xiuji, what he said is similar to Bian Zhihe. He said to himself that because of his aunt Concubine Mu, he had never had much contact with the ministers of the DPRK and China, so how could there be bribery and collusion, and why Gong Ruxi said that, he didn't know.
There is no substantial evidence for the things Gong Ruxi pointed out, and only those account book records are not enough to show that Bian Zhihe and Mu Xiuji have colluded in this matter; Now, Gong Ruxi and Bian Zhihe have their own opinions, and He Kenan would have thought that this matter would be closed here.
didn't expect that the next words of Shangshu Juan, the agent of the household department, would make the whole thing different. (To be continued.) )
