Chapter 132: The Gold and Silver Workshop
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is at ease, His Royal Highness has always been smart and courageous, and he should not be wrong.
Coupled with the official silver robbery mentioned in the letter of the Third Highness, the old minister still has memories of this matter, if it was really framed by the Pei brothers back then, then these people can persist in Yunzhou Mansion under the control of the Pei brothers for so many years, and they are also capable people. ”
Taiwei Yu stroked his beard, but he was not worried about Situ Junfeng's safety.
"Teacher, when I went down to court today, Gonggong Cui secretly informed that the people of Prime Minister Chen Cheng's family had written a holy decree asking his father to appoint Chen Guifei as the queen."
Situ Junfeng was relieved, but Prime Minister Chen and Chen Guifei were still pressing step by step, which made Situ Junjiang very worried.
"Please rest assured, the matter of the gold and silver workshop that you have asked people to follow up secretly is already in sight. I have already contacted Qin Yushi of the Imperial History Tower, and I will write a book tomorrow to report the master craftsmen of the gold and silver workshops for stealing and greedy for gold and silver.
I believe that if this matter is poked out, the second prince and Chen Chengxiang will have no time to take care of the matter of asking for the seal. Moreover, the master craftsman of the workshop is the person of the second prince, if the emperor investigates it, I believe that it will make the second prince busy for a while, and it can also relieve some pressure for the investigation of the third highness. ”
Listening to Situ Junjiang's words, Taiwei Yu smiled slightly, took out a transcript of the fold from his sleeve, and handed it to him.
"Great, the evidence of the gold and silver workshop has been found at the right time, just in time to create some trouble for Situ Junhao and Chen Chengxiang."
took the transcript and looked at it, and Situ Junjiang's face couldn't help but show joy.
"This matter is up to Qin Yushi, but teacher, you must be careful when you contact Qin Yushi, and you must not be discovered by Situ Junhao and Chen Chengxiang."
"Hehe, rest assured that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has nothing to do with Qin Yushi in the court on weekdays, and everyone doesn't know that we are friends in private. This matter will be left to us, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not know what to do, and tomorrow he will be in power to watch the show. ”
Stroking his beard and smiling slightly, Taiwei Yu took it back and moved it to the candlestick to light it.
It wasn't until the song burned to ashes that Taiwei Yu got up and walked out of the prince's mansion, everything was like a normal lecture, so that the supervisors outside the mansion did not find anything.
When Situ Junhao had a good night's dream, imagining that Concubine Chen Guifei would soon be crowned the queen and he would soon be the crown prince, he didn't know that there was a good show waiting for him.
In the early days, the history of the Qin Dynasty, which has always been upright and selfless, accused the master of the gold and silver workshop, Shahe, of stealing and stealing gold and silver artifacts when he was making gold and silver for the palace, and secretly withheld some of the gold and silver.
Shahe has been a master craftsman in a gold and silver workshop for many years, and the gold and silver intercepted by him in this way, let alone millions of taels, so much gold and silver, is enough for him to cut down all the doors.
"Shahe, as a master craftsman in a gold and silver workshop, dared to use his power for personal gain, privately intercepted gold and silver, and immediately cut off the official title and put him in prison. Ordered Dali Temple to search the house strictly, and the gold and silver must be recovered. ”
After carefully looking at the recital played in the history of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Baoxuan patted the dragon chair angrily.
"Obey the order!"
Dali Siqing came out of the crowd, bowed down to receive the order, then turned around and walked out of the main hall to handle the case.
Under the court, the second prince Situ Junhao secretly turned his head and glanced at Chen Chengxiang on the side, his eyes were anxious.
It turned out that over the years, all the gold and silver intercepted by Shahe had gone into his mansion.
Chen Chengxiang looked at the anxious Situ Junhao, shook his head slightly, and signaled him not to show his face.
The subsequent court meeting was like a punishment for Situ Junhao, he was really uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait to take leave from Emperor Baoxuan because he was unwell, and hurriedly returned to the mansion to arrange things.
But Emperor Baoxuan didn't know if he deliberately couldn't get along with him, or dragged a group of ministers to discuss a bunch of inconsequential things, until Dali Siqing came back to restore his life, Emperor Baoxuan waved his hand and stopped the minister's report.
"Back to the emperor, the ministers have arrested Shahe and his family and imprisoned him, but only more than 30,000 taels of gold and silver were found in Shahe's home, and the amount does not correspond."
"With such a huge amount of gold and silver, how can there be only more than 30,000 taels left, we must strictly investigate and find out where the gold and silver went."
Emperor Baoxuan's brows furrowed, his eyes looked at the courtiers below like torches, and his eyes swept over Situ Junjiang, Situ Junhao, Chen Chengxiang and others, and Situ Junhao, who was looking directly, had a cold back and trembled slightly in his heart.
"I will definitely investigate this matter, if anyone dares to obstruct the Dali Temple to solve the case, I will not spare it!"
"If you don't dare, you will do your best to help Dali Temple investigate this case."
The ministers bowed their heads, and they all knelt and shouted.
"Alright, retreat!"
With a cold face, Emperor Baoxuan waved his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the harem, leaving only a group of ministers to kneel and send each other off. It wasn't until Emperor Baoxuan walked away that everyone stood up under the leadership of the crown prince Situ Junjiang.
Then, the ministers walked out of the hall in twos and threes, all talking about the case of Shahe.
"Millions of taels of gold and silver, how can you say that it is gone, where do you think this gold and silver will go?"
"Who knows, in short, this matter is not trivial, maybe someone is involved behind it."
"Shhhh
When Situ Junhao walked by, the sound of these discussions kept drilling into his ears. It made him very irritable.
"Grandpa, what should we do?"
Finally sat in a sedan chair away from the palace wall, and in a hidden place, after Situ Junhao and Chen Chengxiang met, he hurriedly said anxiously.
"Don't worry, where is the gold and silver now? Is there an account record for entry and exit? ”
Raising his hand to calm Situ Junhao down, Chen Chengxiang asked.
"Grandpa, most of this gold and silver has been given to Tuofeng, which is the reward for inviting him to send troops a few years ago. The rest of the silver and gold and the accounts of the past are hidden in my house, in a secret room. ”
Sitting down and blowing the wind, Situ Junhao finally calmed down a lot.
"Who are the people who handle it, and are they reliable?"
Stroking his beard, Prime Minister Chen then asked.
"It's a bookkeeper and a big butler in my house, grandfather, what do you mean......"
Looking up at Prime Minister Chen Cheng with a calm face, Situ Junhao's eyes rolled.
"My grandson understood, last night a bookkeeper in the house suddenly fell seriously ill and died, and my grandson had to go back to the house to arrange the funeral affairs of his family, so he retired first."
"Well, the old man remembers that there is a person in the prison of Dali Temple who is one of our people, let him give Shahe a ride tonight. Shahe committed suicide in fear of crime, and the case was interrupted. ”
Nodding towards Situ Junhao, Prime Minister Chen said softly.
"Grandpa is right, grandson will go back and make arrangements."
With a happy look on his face, Situ Junhao got into a sedan chair and walked quickly towards the prince's mansion.
