The inventory of the household departments continued, and with the expansion of the front and the increase in the number of personnel invested in the various departments, some clues that could be used were finally found in those old account books.

The ministers of the inventory team finally put their minds at ease, regardless of how many problems those informants can figure out the household department, as long as they have a good start, it can be regarded as breaking the perfect image of Fan Shangshu's household department.

The first problem lies in the amount of winter money sent to Cangzhou in the fourth year of Qingli, which is not large.

But touching upwards from this line, like a snowball, the gap hidden by the old officials of the household department under the layers of cover is getting bigger and bigger, and it is gradually and shockingly revealed in front of the eyes of the investigating officials.

The crown prince and Yan Xingshu, the secretary of the ministry, were overjoyed, and did not care at all about the request of the scholar Hu to be safe, and ordered the subordinate officials to dig deep and dig deep, all the way from the county to the capital, digging up those complicated lines from the roots, and gradually the evidence in his hand was approaching Kyoto, that is, approaching the high-ranking officials of the household department who could really sign.

The left and right waiters who had been in charge of being examined in the household department also began to tremble, this Dongyi's account also had a plan, and it was also a matter that they had once purposed, but they never expected that behind the Dongqi of only 100,000 taels of silver, so many things were involved.

Whether it is the court or the merchants, what they are best at is to crush the large gaps into countless small scraps of paper, and then scatter them into huge projects, like salt into the snow, like water into the flood river, and disappear.

No one thought that Dong Yan's burden of sown down was not in place, but instead showed his feet.

The left and right attendants accompanied the household yamen all night with an iron face, and when they were on duty that day, they were ready to talk about it. I also have to go to Shangshu Mansion to find an idea. Unexpectedly, the prince spoke coldly, before the matter was clarified, he asked the household officials not to leave without permission, and at the same time, he also transferred the Supervision Yuan and several cronies to keep an eye on the two waiters.

Fan Jian has been working in the household department since he joined the office, no matter how the name of the household department changed before and after the new policy, and no matter how the personnel pattern in the court changed, he has been doing it from a small Zhan matter, and he was already the left servant of the household department nine years ago. At that time, the household department Shangshu was old and sick and retired at home, and His Majesty favored Fan Jian, and it was inconvenient to skip the ranks, so he forcibly let the sick old Shangshu occupy the position, and did not let other forces arrange people to come in, so as to facilitate Fan Jian to lead the entire household department as a waiter.

Time flies, nine years have passed, and in these nine years, Emperor Qingguo has been extremely gracious to Fanfu. And Fan Jian also used these nine years to take care of the entire household into an ironclad interest group.

Very quiet, not very ostentatious interest group.

So when the inventory of the household department begins. All the officials of the household department were looking upwards with their eyes, and the Lord Shangshu who was looking at them knew that as long as Lord Shangshu did not fall, nothing would happen to his own people.

And today. Tobe seems to be in danger, but the left and right attendants are unable to enter the Fan Mansion. For a time, the household officials were panicked and uneasy.

The left and right squires couldn't come, but Fan Jian had been in the household department for a long time, and he knew the tense situation in the past two days, and he knew that the prince and the adults who had checked had found a deadly weapon in the household department that night - the winter of the northern sergeant.

"It doesn't move me at that. Fan Jian sat in the study and drank sour syrup, squinted his eyes and said: "No matter who goes to Cangzhou to inspect, the clothes worn by those soldiers are all of the best grades, and the officials are not good." will not make a fuss about the bitter cold of the border soldiers. ”

Today, he is not speaking to the portrait. Sitting across from him was a living person, Mr. Zheng Tuo, who had always been appreciated by Fan Jian.

When Fan Xian fought a black boxing lawsuit in Kyoto Prefecture, it was Mr. Zheng Tuo who was in charge of the matter, and this person was also a veteran official of the household department in the past.

After thinking about it, Zheng Tuo frowned and said: "The batch of Dongqi back then was not only not a defective product, but the workmanship was extremely careful, and the materials used were also extremely particular...... But ......"

He wanted to speak, but he stopped.

Fan Jian smiled and said, "You have followed me for so many years, you should know that I am cautious, but when analyzing things, I am not afraid to consider the worst from the worst angle." ”

Zheng Zhen said with a wry smile: "However, the materials used in that batch of winter qi are good, so when the household department later negotiated the land, it was also set quite high, and the silver was transferred from the treasury...... It seems to be a little more. ”

"Let's be more direct. ”

"Yes, sir. Zheng Tuo said: "The household department intercepted a lot of silver from that batch of winter qi, and then filled it all in other places. ”

"Not bad. Fan Jian said expressionlessly: "This batch of winter qi did intercept some silver, those because of the current month's Beijing officials are about to not be able to send out, Your Majesty does not know this situation, and I can't bear to let this matter bother Your Majesty, the silver of the inner library at that time has not arrived, and I have to prepare for the reward of the Western Expeditionary Army in the second year, so the ministry has to intercept some silver in this batch of winter qi." ”

He waved his hand and said with a smile, "But the amount of money is not large, and it has not been filled in other places." ”

"Yes, sir. Zheng Tuo said with a worried face: "Dong Qi is just one end, in the Imperial Court Investigation Department this time, there will always be more and more things like this, and these things that make up the deficit in the capital will be brought to the capital, I am afraid that it will ...... In the end, it will point to the last batch of silver transferred to Jiangnan in the ministry. ”

......

......

Fan Jian sighed, shook his head and said: "There is no way, in fact, this time I transferred silver to Jiangnan, mainly for the purpose of opening the bid for the inner treasury." This has nothing to do with An Zhi, it's just that the official is the head of the household department, and he also wants to have a better income from the inner treasury, if the court doesn't take the money to hedge with the Ming family, how can the Ming family give up so much silver?"

He lowered his head and said softly: "Actually, the transfer of this batch of silver was very beginning. I told Your Majesty about entering the palace. ”

The study was as dull as death, Zheng Tuo was dumbfounded, and he couldn't say anything for a while, and now the excuse for checking the household department is that the household department is secretly transferring state funds to Jiangnan to make profits, who knows that this time a large number of silver taels are transferred...... It's actually the palace that knows the place!

He finally calmed down before frowning and said, "Master, since it is a matter that His Majesty acquiesces into, let's just find out." ”

Fan Jian shook his head resolutely: "Your Majesty has his difficulties...... The imperial court went to harm the wealthy merchant Ming family in Jiangnan. This matter has spread out, and the reputation is too ugly, but now the government and the opposition are speculating about that matter, and His Majesty is always forced to investigate. ”

He sighed and said, "In that case, how can you find out?"

"What should I do then?" Zheng Tuo said in shock, the meaning of this sentence is very clear, it was originally a matter presided over by His Majesty the Emperor, is it just to calm the discussion, Fan Shangshu should not be forced to be this scapegoat.

Fan Jian said calmly: "As a courtier." Of course, we have to share the worries of the saint, and the household department's silver adjustment action this time is too big, and it can't be covered up after all. If the last ministry is finally found out, the official has no choice but to stand up for His Majesty and end the matter. ”

The means used by the imperial court to deal with the Ming family were very disgraceful. Moreover, behind the Ming family, there are countless court officials as backers, for the sake of the stability of the Qingguo court. Of course, it is impossible for such a means to be announced to the court on specific matters that His Majesty has acquiesced in.

Zheng Tuo's face was moved and sad, thinking that Fan Shangshu was really a pure and loyal minister, and on the cusp of such a place, he still wanted to protect His Majesty's face and the interests of the court.

"Your Excellency, resign. Zheng Tuo said bitterly: "It's already this time, there is no need to hold on any longer." ”

Fan Jian shook his head, uneasy.

Zheng Tuo once again painfully persuaded him: "I know that you are not a person who loves wealth and nobility, looking at the current situation, Your Majesty has already made your resignation in his heart." He stopped his intention to investigate the matter of the household department. As long as you resign from the post of Shangshu, it can be regarded as a decision on the matter of transferring state funds. Presumably, it is impossible for the second prince and the eldest princess to chase and fight fiercely. Scholars Hu and Shu will also speak for you......"

In fact, on the issue of resignation, Zheng Tuo, as Fan Jian's confidant, has suggested many times, but Fan Jian has never agreed. He sighed faintly and said, "There are some things that you can get out of when you do it...... But I just couldn't do it. ”

Fan Jian lowered his eyes and said: "The household department has been taken care of by me, the imperial court has been fighting for many years, consuming countless silver, and the river has lacked embankments for three consecutive years, in this world, no one knows the emptiness of the treasury better than me, and no one knows the current crisis situation better than me." All the local officials thought that it was still peaceful and prosperous, but in fact, who knew the danger lurking under the prosperity?"

"But...... Master Xiao Fan has already gone to Jiangnan, as long as the inner treasury returns to the right path, the treasury crisis will inevitably be alleviated. Zheng Tuo said anxiously.

Fan Jian smiled secretly in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the situation in the inner treasury had been completely controlled by Fan Xian, if it wasn't for His Majesty's confidence in reversing the situation in the Qingguo treasury within two years, how could that Saint Heavenly Son be willing to let himself resign?

Thinking like this in his heart, his face was extremely painful, and he said: "It is precisely because Fan Xianchu is in charge of the inner treasury that the situation is very good, so at this time, I can't leave......"

Fan Jian sighed: "First, because it is in the critical period of decline and prosperity, I dare not let go, and I want to take care of Your Majesty for two years." Secondly...... It's this kid Anzhi, he seems to be calm and indifferent, but in fact he is an amorous and ruthless person, if I really resign, it is because of the matter of transferring silver to the inner treasury...... With that temperament, I am afraid that he will immediately resign from the post of the Inner Treasury Transit Department and return to Beijing to seek justice for me. ”

Zheng Tuo's face was full of shock, and he thought carefully, what Lord Shangshu said did make some sense.

"It's getting late, you can go back first. Fan Jian closed his eyes and said: "As for the affairs of the ministry, don't worry too much, although the sparks of the various divisions are ignited, one day they will burn to the office, and even the official, but as long as it can last for one day, the official will stay for another day, and this fire is big, who knows how many people will be burned?"

Zheng Tuo sighed, deeply admiring Lord Yu Shangshu's dedication to the public, no longer talking, and left the study.

He left Fan's house, got into his carriage, went back to his home, spread out a piece of paper, and wrote a secret letter. Give it to a man in the house, and then lie down on his own bed, and keep his eyes open, unable to sleep for a long time.

Zheng Tuo, a Qingke of Fanfu, to this day, he asked himself, and he still couldn't be sure what kind of person he was.

Fan Jian, the head of the household, actually didn't know what kind of person his henchman, Mr. Zheng Tuozheng, who had followed him for so many years, but he only knew one thing.

Zheng Tuo is not his own person.

Zheng Tuo was the emperor's man. It's just that I don't know if it's through the Supervision Yuan to be placed by my side, or through the line of the inner court.

But no matter which line it is, Fan Jian knows that his every move over the years has been watched by the man in the palace, so Fan Jian's every move over the years has also been shown to that man.

Including this painful and righteous analysis tonight.

Fan Jian is not Lin Ruofu, he will not be defeated by the closest people around him, because since that night many years ago, in the sound of horns and drums in the west, he has made up his mind. Absolutely, absolutely, I will never trust anyone in Kyoto again.

The household department did transfer a large amount of silver to Jiangnan, and the transfer of this batch of silver was indeed acquiesced by Emperor Qingguo. So when the palace was furious because of this incident and ordered the three divisions to check the household department, Fan Jian was actually out of anger and felt a sense of absurd drama.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This batch was transferred to Jiangnan Prefecture State Funds. Of course, it was not for hedging with the Ming family, Fan Jian knew that his amazing son had already collected a large amount of silver taels. But I don't know where these taels of silver come from.

Fan Jian transferred silver to Jiangnan, but in fact, it was just to cover Fan Xian. Lao Fan thought about the problem, he was more old and spicy than Xiao Fan, he didn't believe that Fan Xian could use the excuse of the Ye family's inheritance to persuade the emperor to believe that Xia Qifei was in his hands

Suddenly there was an extra lot of silver.

Every time he thought of this, Fan Jian couldn't help but sigh, Fan Xian was doing things, and his courage was really getting bigger and bigger, and he dared to join forces with Qingguo's enemy Northern Qi for many years!

The son is messing around. When Lao Tzu had no choice but to cover up, and in order to ensure that his son's land plan could be carried out smoothly. The household department must also inject some silver taels into the bank, so as to ensure that the money can be withdrawn at any time.

This is the whole truth of the household department's private transfer of state funds to Jiangnan.

In this plan, although the number of household transfer areas is large, but the real spending is very small, and most of the share has already returned to the household department after walking around the south of the Yangtze River, so Fan Jian is not worried about what the prince and the officials can really find out.

In addition, Fan Jian deliberately missed some and went to the river work yamen.

If the emperor wants to resign a minister who does not have too many loopholes, he only needs to create a momentum, and then through some clever hints from some people, that minister must resign.

Like the former Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, he also fell into this arrangement.

Fan Jian didn't want to accept His Majesty's arrangement now, and he didn't want to go back to Lanzhou to retire so early, so he let the household department go to check, and only by muddying the water could he reflect his purity more and more.

At the same time, through Zheng Tuo's mouth, he would stab the man sitting on the dragon chair again.

Only that man believed that Fan Jian was loyal, stupid, stupid, but indispensable, Fan Jian...... In order to continue to stand proudly in this dark Kyoto, watching Fan Xian's growth with a fatherly gaze on the side.

"It's all under control, right?" Fan Jian glanced at the letter, the letter was sent to his son who was far away in Jiangnan, and then he spoke.

A man in black stood in front of him, bowed deeply, and said, "Zheng Tuo, like Yuan Bo'an, has no children and no daughters, and it is estimated that they are all from the Supervision Yuan. ”

Fan Jian frowned and said, "Yuan Bo'an is really a member of the Supervision Yuan, no wonder my in-laws fell so quickly." ”

The man in black said in a deep voice: "But Zheng Tuo has a nephew, according to the investigation of his subordinates...... It should be his biological son, but he was afraid that the palace would threaten him with this son, so he didn't dare to admit it. ”

Fan Jian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Very good, we can threaten him." ”

The man in black nodded silently, his hands were flat on his side, and he saw that this person's right hand was an extremely long callus from the tiger's mouth, if Fan Xian saw this detail, he would definitely be able to think of the cocoon marks formed by the tiger guards of Gundam because they had held the long knife handle for many years.

Fan Jian looked at the man in black and said, "Follow me, there really isn't much to do, you have been idle all these years, don't blame me." ”

The man in black laughed and said sincerely: "Eleven years ago, the subordinates had poor defense, so that the palace maid around the Queen Mother was killed by a madman, and she was already a mortal person. If it weren't for the life-saving grace of adults, over the years, I was afraid that my subordinates would have been idle under the loess to play with maggots. ”

Fan Jian shook his head with a smile and said, "You are this kind of detached character, you don't look like a tiger guard at all, no wonder Your Majesty didn't like you the most back then." ”

Then he said, "Keep an eye on Zheng Tuo, and if necessary, send his son's right hand to his room." ”

......

......

(I have been sick for the past few days, and I took an early flight yesterday, so I ran away from home at five o'clock, went to the airport, got on the plane, and the plane flew for a long time, and then the gentle voice of the flight attendant came: "It is snowing heavily in Yichang, and I can't land." So the plane turned back to Guangzhou again, stayed at the airport, pulled to the hotel, ate Hunan food, and was notified that it could land, Daxi, and then to the airport, get on the plane, the plane flew for a long time, killed in layers of snow clouds, and landed in Yichang, which is three degrees below zero...... It's cold, take the bus back to the city, get off, can't catch a taxi, take the bus...... It is rumored that Yichang gathered a tunnel collapse, the whole line was blocked, the bus detour 403, it is rumored that there was a traffic accident somewhere in 403, traffic jams, and when I went home, the sky was exhausted and weak.

Therefore, there is heavy snow in Yichang that cannot fall, so there are these problems, and it is not the heavy snow in Guangzhou that was said when the leader helped to ask for leave yesterday...... If you know that it snows heavily in Guangzhou, then my grievances are too heavy. At that time, Guangzhou was full of sunshine and blue sky, and I was in the bright sunshine of the south, cursing the wind and snow in Yichang.

It's not over yet.

When I got home, there was a problem with the hard drive, and I knew that I had bought a 250 hard drive in Guangzhou, so I didn't take it seriously. But when I installed the new hard drive, I was stunned to find that I didn't have an optical drive, how to install the system? I tossed in the middle of the night, found my brother-in-law's optical drive, and installed the new system for a long time, and then I was stunned to find that the original old hard disk was hung up and I couldn't recognize it...... So what's going on with my stuff on it?

Don't be afraid, I still have the disk, this thing is good, but, in the end, it was confirmed that the original old hard drive seems to be broken.

Finally, there was the first stop since the beginning of the celebration, and I felt a little weird, as if a certain record had been broken, as if the Celtics had finally lost.

Then I was surprised, when did I become such a hard worker?

It took a long time to go to sleep, and I woke up very late today.

I also have my brother-in-law's computer at home to use, so there is no problem in writing. But I was sad and scared, I was scared that the data on the old hard drive would never be able to be messed up again...... There are a lot of things on it, my love century, my dream couple, my godfather, my alien, and the most terrifying thing is that there are all the things I've written in the past seven years, Yingxiu, roast chicken, the first draft, the draft, the beginning, some small essays written in the past, such as nonsense and so on...... The scariest thing is that it has my experience over the years, including letters, screenshots, chat logs, archives.

Celebrating more than one year is just a small part of my life.

There were traces of my life over the past seven or eight years, and I couldn't bear the fact that they might disappear.

So I'm going to fix the hard drive, and I'm pretty depressed.

I'm going to fix the hard drive tomorrow, please bless me. In the past two days, I may have written less roughly, so please forgive me. ）
