Chapter 862: Prepare for the Worst
In the council chamber of the Fuwang Mansion, headed by Fuwang, there are all kinds of people from the Fuwang family sitting below.
"What the hell is going on? If you can't handle a person well, you can actually let people find a body? King Fu frowned, he obviously couldn't stop breathing.
From the drunken gaffe of the little minions involved in the trading of track parts and materials, the whole thing has been completely out of his control.
Originally, several key figures had been sent to various places to hide. But it is good to die, and the seemingly loose patrol of the yamen of the Beijing government actually made the gods approach the trading place of inferior iron.
That was the place he used to deal with the excess residue of the iron ore smelting process.
Once the yamen found there by mistake, it was not necessary to think about it to find that he had additional iron ore and smelted iron outside the jurisdiction of the imperial court.
This fortuitous event immediately alerted him.
Originally, the hiding place of several key figures in the material transaction case had nothing to do with this place. However, if these people are left behind, it will be a disaster sooner or later, and the sooner they are disposed of, the better.
Who knows, five of the seven people who were dealt with were actually found dead. Every time it seems to be a coincidence, but there are so many coincidences that leave no trace, it is really shocking.
At this time, Wang Xian was also in the Fu Wangfu, his face was a little pale, and he said: "If you want to come here, whether it is the prince or the king of Yu, someone must have mastered the whereabouts of these people." We're very passive now, and we have to figure out a way to turn things around. ”
Wang Xian said, casting his eyes on Liu Yu. Over the years he has been an official, he has done specific practice, and he is really not good at strategy, so he can only hope for Liu Yu and his staff.
The affairs of King Fu's Mansion over the years, as well as the secret contest with the prince, were all planned by Liu Yu, and basically nothing went wrong. Wang Xian still has some respect for him.
Liu Yu faced Wang Xian's inquiring gaze, and suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
He was lucky before, thinking that the matter was just leaked out of the mouth of a small minion, as long as he remedied it in time, he should be able to control the matter, at least it could make the Beijing Yamen unable to conclude the case without real evidence.
As for what the people in the court think, it is a matter of opinion. Since ancient times, the road to the throne has been bloody, and it has always been a success.
His Royal Highness just used some means in the project presided over by King Yu, as long as he is a person who understands, he should understand this practice.
But things didn't go as they expected, not only because the thief leaked his mouth, causing them to lose the opportunity, but also exposing the matter prematurely.
Without waiting for them to make arrangements, Ye Xinyan took out the construction records that surprised the courtiers. The completeness and completeness of the record is simply unseen, and it is only heard in legends.
With perfect and detailed construction records, it is completely possible to lock the accident road section, and it is no longer difficult to rework and repair. This matter is a complete failure, not only did it not cause the slightest damage to King Yu, but the construction of Guangsha became the most rigorous construction line in the eyes of the emperor.
Liu Yu bowed respectfully to Wang Xian before turning to King Fu and saying, "We have lost the opportunity, and we can't even determine where the opponent's means are. Nowadays, it is better to be still than to be still, and the project is released in advance. Anyway, the people involved were either imprisoned or disposed of. As for the iron ore and the iron ingots, store them in their place and do not move them again. ”
King Fu pondered for a moment, still a little worried, "This case is no longer in the Yamen of the Beijing Mansion, and the Dali Temple has not taken over, this king suspects that my father handed over this case to Li Mian." If we intervene forcefully, even if we don't act, he may find the key. ”
Stone also interjected: "According to the previous events, I'm afraid that our every move has already fallen into the eyes of people." If Commander Li takes over to investigate this matter, will the other party leak some clues to him? If that's the case, then we won't do anything from now on, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hide our tracks. ”
"This won't." King Fu is still very sure of this statement.
He waved his hand and said, "This must have been done by the sixth child." He kept things so secretive, he hid himself completely behind his back, and he didn't want to be seen that he had such a scheming.
Everyone knows that if the sixth child dares to reveal clues to Li Mian, he is afraid that he will be bitten by Li Mian. I'm sure he'll take that risk. ”
Liu Yu nodded in agreement: "Your Highness can see it." So now we just need to stop what we're doing. Although the extra iron ore is not in the books, it can barely be mixed with the ores in the imperial court books. If you don't have an insider's strict view, you shouldn't be able to see Ni Duan.
The iron material is not moving, if the treasury is not counted, no one can see the amazing amount of iron in the imperial court. From now on, as long as the amount of residue is disposed of properly, it should be possible to fool around without anyone checking it. ”
King Fu agreed: "Then according to what Mr. Liu said." As he spoke, he turned to the two stewards who were sitting with his hands down, "From now on, suspend iron ore smelting, and don't send people home for private transportation, arrange for them to contribute to the official affairs of the imperial court, and promise them extra wages." ”
The two stewards hurriedly got up and agreed.
At this time, Jiang Shuyuan, who had not spoken, hesitated and said, "Your Highness, before I came, my father explained that I should plan for the worst in everything. If this matter really can't be hidden, instead of making His Majesty suspect His Royal Highness's intentions to keep iron privately, it is better to ask the emperor for guilt in advance. ”
King Fu had already picked up the tea cup, and planned to take a sip of tea to soothe his emotions. When he heard Jiang Shuyuan's words, he froze in mid-air.
Jiang Shuyuan is King Fu's cousin and manages several general affairs for King Fu. Although he was not directly involved in this incident, he knew the general direction of the matter, and King Fu's uncle also knew.
What Jiang Shuyuan meant by this was that his uncle was actually very optimistic about this case. It is believed that he used the labor and financial resources of the imperial court to collect excess iron ore and iron materials for private use, which could not be hidden.
However, how could he confess to the emperor? Do you just confess this once, or tell all the previous ones?
If he said all the previous ones, then where would the virtue and diligence he had accumulated over the years be even more convincing?
Liu Yu sighed secretly, this was actually something he had vaguely mentioned to King Fu more than half a month ago.
In order to seize the crown prince, King Fu just stumbled on his rivals, but this stumbling block was just a stumbling block and did not cause very serious consequences.
If the prince had confessed to the emperor at that time, this case would have been closed long ago, and the officials of the Beijing Yamen would not have to reluctantly wander around and pretend to investigate the case, resulting in the confused officials getting infinitely close to the truth, let alone being used by opponents.
As a result, King Fu cherished feathers, and in order to cover up that mistake, it led to a greater disaster.
