The prince was scolded, the scope of the inventory was narrowed, the household was temporarily safe, and the Supervision Yuan re-erected the waist pole, this thing is so interesting, whether the waist pole of the Supervision Yuan can be straightened now, it actually depends on the body of the household Shangshu and the angle of the ground.

Scholar Hu slapped the table in the province of Zhongshu under the door, pointed to the faces of the elders of the six departments, and scolded these officials for not being clean, anyway, he was still young and angry, and he didn't need to be like Shu Wu to always put on the style and demeanor of the old minister.

Because in his opinion, at least from the situation where the investigation came out, the household department ...... What made Scholar Hu most angry was that the matter had come to this day, and some officials in the DPRK and China were still obsessed with finding some evidence of crimes related to Jiangnan from the tents of the Ministry of Households.

The sound of slapping the table sounded again, and Scholar Hu frowned deeply, stared coldly at the officials beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Transferring silver to Jiangnan? What about the silver? Isn't it still in the treasury of the household department? If there is no evidence in the future, don't talk nonsense about these nonsense things, so as not to chill the officials' hearts."

He looked at these earth-colored officials, and snorted coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, let's do it ourselves."

After saying this, Scholar Hu flicked his sleeves and walked out of the small room next to the palace, leaving many officials looking at each other inside.

Everyone felt deep regret and embarrassment, the household department was clean, but it was their own local factions that were found to have countless problems, and the backers behind these officials were inextricably linked with Jiangnan, and from the situation in Jiangnan, these bigwigs judged that Fan Xian used Xia Qifei to hedge with the Ming family with the land and silver, which must have been transferred from the treasury.

It is precisely because of such a judgment that these people dare to launch an offensive against the household department so firmly, and since so much money is still stored in the Inner Treasury Transit Division, the treasury must not be wiped out.

But...... There is not a trace of it!

These officials hated so much that they didn't dare to fight back when they were reprimanded by Scholar Hu, who called themselves these people shouting loudly, but in the end they couldn't find out any problems!

The father and son of the Fan family are too insidious.

At this time, it was early in the morning, the sun had not yet risen in the east, and the Zhongshu under the door was only playing a chapter above the proposed court meeting today, and the officials were a little tired on the ground, and most of them had not slept all night, just thinking of fighting on the ground at the court meeting immediately...... How can we salvage the situation a little?

Consciously or unconsciously, the officials set their eyes on a young official who had been sitting in a dark corner.

This young official's surname is He Ming Zongwei, who is now a new celebrity in the imperial court, and he has some previous connections with the eldest princess Donggong, and now he is deeply appreciated by His Majesty.

It is precisely because Scholar Hu did not want to make a big fuss about the affairs of the household department, so His Majesty had many intentions that could not be declared and could not be handled smoothly through the officials, so he transferred the new Zuodu Imperial Shi He Zongwei to the household department investigation team.

The officials looked at He Zongwei, and naturally wanted to know from the mouth of this young official, what the palace was going to deal with in this matter.

This person has been specially ordered to listen to the affairs of the Zhongshu under the door for three days, and has always been stable in his duties, and he is polite and strict to the scholars and ministers, and he does not say much, does not act rashly, and is deeply calm and samadhi.

Just being stared at like this by several officials, He Zongwei knew that he had to show certain abilities, not only for himself, but also for His Majesty.

"It's a mess." He sighed and said gently to several officials: "It seems that this matter has to be tossed slowly, and Scholar Hu was also a little anxious before.

Tossing slowly, it shows the attitude of the palace, and the Fan Mansion responded skillfully and hardly, so that the palace will not find a good way to remove this Hubu Shangshu for a while, and there is only a chance to wait.

The officials fell silent, a little unwilling in their hearts, and a little faintly worried.

Since Fan Jian's position remains unchanged, he, the leading officials who attack the ground, will naturally have to pay the corresponding price.

......

......

At the court meeting afterwards, the officials belonging to the eldest princess and the East Palace launched a final offensive, not to kill the enemy, but to protect themselves.Even if the household department is clean, it is always caught by the inventory team Some problems, especially under the guidance of He Zongwei who joined the aftermath, the ministers gave up those appalling charges, and just grabbed some small problems in the household department, such as some accounts are not clear, such as ...... A small sum of silver is missing.

Although they are all minor problems, they at least show that these people are not trying to retaliate against the attack, but really want to find the problem of the household.

At the court meeting, listening to the impassioned accusations of those ministers, Scholar Hu sneered in the first place in the left hand column, Shu Wu was full of worry beside him, and Yan Xingshu, the secretary of the ministry, did not say a word.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked at a person in the ranks of civil officials with somewhat complicated eyes.

Today, Fan Jian, the head of the household, also came to the court meeting.

The emperor looked at Fan Jian's slightly gray hair below, sighed in his heart, and asked, "Where did the 180,000 taels of silver go?"

Fan Jian is out of the ranks, he doesn't distinguish himself, he doesn't explain, the old lady must go first,

Salute and plead directly.

The 180,000 taels of silver have already been sent to the Yamen of the Governor of River Transport!

......

......

There was an uproar in the court, and they urged the investigation of the household department, the local officials, and the relevant officials, and they disappeared with joy on their faces, and they didn't understand why the old spicy household department Shangshu would be above the court, in front of His Majesty's ground, frankly admitting that the treasury silver was privately transferred into the river transportation governor's yamen, but they knew that this was an opportunity that could not be missed!

For a while, the officials came out one after another, and the righteous and awe-inspiring accusations were directed at Fan Jian.

In this world, only His Majesty's will can mobilize the country's silver land, and no one can do the rest of the people.

The emperor stared at Fan Jian's tired face, a faint glint flashed in his eyes, but he didn't seem to listen to the voices of these courtiers in the court demanding the punishment of the household.

The emperor didn't listen, but some officials listened clearly, and there was anger in their hearts!

The deficit in the household department is closely related to those officials who attack the household department, and Fan Shangshu transfers the treasury and silver into the river to work, even if this move is inappropriate, but his heart is forgivable, this is for the court, and doing things for the people has become a sore spot for those shameless villains!

Shu Wudi's brows trembled sharply, his eyes were full of anger, and he glared back at the civil officials who came out of the ranks.

In fact, these veterans in the middle of the door know that the imperial court wants to pull out the silver, and the procedures are really complicated, if you really want to slowly ask for the order to transfer the silver into the river work, I am afraid that the river has long been short of embankments.

! Adjust the silver to repair the river, his old Fan family has no land on both sides of the river, and he can make a fart benefit!

Shu Wu forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, stood up, and bowed to the emperor in the dragon chair.

Seeing that this respected scholar had come out of the ranks, the officials who were attacking the household department relented and retreated into the queue.

The emperor glanced at him and said, "What is the crime of privately transferring treasury silver?"

Lao Shu raised his head and said directly: "Your Majesty, if you ask Qinglu, you should ask the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

The emperor smiled and said, "What does the old bachelor want to say?"

Shu Wu saluted again, turned around and glanced contemptuously at the middle of the night, and then said slowly: "The old minister thinks that Fan Shangshu is not guilty of this matter."

"How do you say that?"

"The matter of river work has been tight, and this year it is fortunate that the momentum of the spring flood is not as good as in previous years, but the summer flood is coming soon.

Shu Wu took a deep breath and said respectfully: "It was the old minister who wrote a book under the door and folded it, and then directly transferred it to the household department, so the old minister actually knew about the household department's silver transfer."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the court!

Scholar Shu actually took a big risk and tied himself to the Fan family?

Fan Shangshu also seemed to be a little surprised, looking at the old scholar in front of him.

The Emperor frowned slightly, and after a moment suddenly smiled, "Oh, why didn't I know about this?"

"It's the old minister who is confused, please forgive your majesty."

Scholar Shu is not an old fool, he couldn't look past the group discussion in the court before, and he couldn't see it, but the old and firm conscience in his heart churned, and his blood rushed to let him stand up and protect the household, but after waking up at this time, he knew that His Majesty definitely didn't like someone in his own middle school who would be a guarantor for the six departments, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty pity the old minister is old, and he drank two more cups yesterday, and he chatted a little young maniac, and he can't take it back if he wants to close his mouth at this time."

The emperor couldn't help but laugh when he saw a scholar dressed as a clown, and the unpleasantness of being knocked off gradually dissipated.

You can't just take away the official position of the household secretary and a university scholar because of a mere 180,000 taels of silver.

"Hu Xuzhi." The emperor smiled and asked, "In your opinion, what should be the charge of this matter?"

Scholar Hu came out of the ranks, and after a moment of deliberation, he said softly: "The crime of bullying the king."

There was a buzz in the hall.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and asked with interest, "Then how should I punish him?"

"No." Scholar Hu will be extremely low.

"Why?"

"The household department transferred silver into the river work, it is a public heart, it is a loyalty to serve His Majesty, although it is a bully to the king, but it is a bully to love the king." Scholar Hu said lightly: "Qinglu condemns people to be guilty, it is a matter of knowing the reason, knowing the reason, knowing the situation, the officials of the household department and the lord of the Shangshu are all frank and sincere, Your Majesty is clear."

"Oh?" the emperor seemed to be very interested in this statement, and said with a smile: "But the law is here, and if it is not handled according to the law, how can the mouth of the people in the world be calm, and how can the hundred officials abide by the law?"

"The mouth of the people in the world is long, don't need to block it." Scholar Hu replied in a harmonious voice: "As long as the embankment of the great river can be blocked, the eyes of the people can see, their ears can hear, there are things to eat, and there is a place to live in peace, they will naturally know Your Majesty's painstaking efforts."

The Emperor nodded with a move in his mind.

Scholar Hu continued

In the eyes of the ministers, although the Qinglu is heavy, it is not as important as the words of the Son of Heaven, if His Majesty is sympathetic to the hard work of the household, and if he is lenient, all the officials in the court will feel the sacred heart."

Finally, he whispered, "Your Majesty, it's been raining continuously."

This last sentence was uttered in such a low voice that no one could hear it except for the officials who were close to the dragon chair.

The emperor fell into deep thought, knowing that the reason why the scholars who were closest to him were on the side of the Fan family today was for the sake of the imperial court and for the sake of their own Daqing dynasty...... Could it be that what I did this time was really inappropriate?

Could it be that some conscientious officials in the DPRK and China think that Fan Jian should stay?

He frowned and gradually relaxed, looked at His Highness Di Fan Jian, and asked softly: "What others say, I don't want to hear it, you come to tell me, why did you transfer the silver taels to the Yamen of the Governor of River Transport without my permission?"

Fan Jian sighed, took a few steps forward, and replied very simply: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's too late."

This silver, in fact, is a part of the silver intercepted by the household department to the south of the Yangtze River, the emperor is clear, Fan Jian is naturally clear that the emperor is clear, today the court is being attacked by the officials as an opportunity, but Fan Jian insisted on not defending himself, let alone trying to let the emperor share it for himself.

For the benefit of all the people, dare to privately adjust the treasury silver to repair the river, it is really a rare minister of justice in the Daqing Dynasty, no wonder it moved Hu Shu and the two scholars.

For the sake of His Majesty's face, he dares to face a serious crime without defending himself, it is really a rare slave of pure loyalty in the Daqing Dynasty, no wonder His Majesty the Emperor is also a little moved.

The Emperor pondered, then nodded slowly.

After the court meeting, the decree came down, the household department was seriously empty, His Majesty was furious, and ordered the inventory to continue, and the problems that have been found are handed over to the Supervision Yuan and Dali Temple for trial.

Fan Jian, the head of the household, was removed from the second-class title, fined, and retained.

It's funny to say that this second-level title is still after Fan Xian saved the emperor in the Hanging Temple, and the palace added a local grace, as for the fine, plus the last time the fine, Fan Jian should not be able to get his salary for two years.

But...... He was still sitting firmly in the position of the head of the household.

Correspondingly, the household department has already found out that there is a deficit in the land, implicating many officials, and a vigorous rectification work has begun.

The prince's 400,000 taels of silver were filled by the queen mother in the palace who transferred private silver.

And the officials of the other factions did not have such a good grandmother, whether it was the East Palace faction or the eldest princess faction, a large number of officials had fallen one after another, and some fresh blood, such as young figures like He Zongwei, began to gradually enter the imperial court.

In the autumn of last year, because of the war between Fan Xian and the second prince, a group of courtiers have been purged.

In the late spring of this year, because of the war between the household department and the eldest princess, the courtiers were purged again.

Abandonment, abandonment, became the main style of the court for a time.

The origin of this story is in Jiangnan, and it is precisely because Fan idle such a fake situation that the eldest princess thinks that she has caught the biggest crime of the Fan family, so she will dare to throw so many pawns into this muddy water, intending to pull the Fan family in Kyoto.

But no one thought that the silver came from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the money in the treasury was not moved.

Of course, the emperor thought that he knew that the Fan family had moved, and that he had done so with his own permission.

The emperor thought he knew everything about the world, but he was wrong.

All in all, the Fan family had an unusually difficult foothold, and the emperor ...... The control of the court officials has been strengthened by another point, and the palace has also been a little more stable.

Everyone is happy.

Judging from the current situation, at least on the bright side, there is no force in Beijing that can threaten that chair, and for a while, Chun and Jingming are extremely peaceful.

And in the dark, the crown prince and the second prince were forced to form a temporary alliance, although the Fan family also lost some vitality because of this incident, but ...... Everyone knows that if Fan Xian comes back from Jiangnan, there will definitely be some big things happening.

......

......

Being able to force the two dragon races that originally did not share heaven and earth to unite closely, this kind of power, this kind of power, is enough to make all the people of the earth feel proud and fluttering.

But the place that made all this happen is not the slightest bit proud.

On the one hand, because of the news of Kyoto, there is no way to spread so quickly to the distant Jiangnan.

On the other hand, it was because he could beat the princes in Kyoto and didn't dare to make a sound, but in Jiangnan, far away from Kyoto, facing the Ming family who blindly retreated, he was stunned to find that it was so surprisingly difficult to defeat the Ming family.

It's even more difficult than defeating your own emperor brothers!
