Chapter 333: Yang Guozhong was hit by the board
"Okay, don't cry like a girl at every turn, you Yang Zhao is now also a member of the party in charge of the economy, what is there to talk about, by the way, you just said that you personally arrested a lot of people and sent them to Wangcai for processing, so how many did you send them?" Yang Guozhong had been lying on the ground listening to Li Mao's chatter, and it wasn't until Li Mao finished speaking that he slowly stood up straight again in a little shock.
However, while he stood up, his two eyes were always looking at Li Mao's expression, seeing Li Mao sitting on the dragon chair, only blindly looking at the folds on the desk, he exhaled lightly, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and then stammered a little: "Sage! More than 150 businessmen and more than a dozen subordinate officials of the Economic Department were found among the ministers, and they had the audacity to take advantage of the issuance of the new currency to collude with officials and businessmen and abuse their powers...... Minister......"
Just when Yang Guozhong's statement of avoiding the important and trivializing the important was found out that there were more than a dozen officials of all sizes in the capital of Chang'an in the recent past, Li Mao finally couldn't listen to it, and directly copied a book and threw it on Yang Guozhong's face. "Okay, you Yang Zhao, you can get there, just a few words to get rid of the matter, the most bullish people you just said are just a small official on the canal wharf, you even licked your face and said that they alone can pry a copper coin market, and what do you mean by the hundred or so Fan's merchants, are you looking for a scapegoat? Or in your heart, you really think I'm a fool...... If it weren't for the fact that your Yang family has really done their best to open a field in Lingnan in the past few years, I would have pulled you out and cut you down today......"
When Yang Guozhong heard Li Mao's words at this moment, his heart was filled with joy and sorrow, sad that his previous speculations and worries had not escaped Li Mao's eyes, and he was glad that from Li Mao's words, he could at least hear that his little fate had been saved.
So he immediately knelt down with his legs limped again. "Sage, this matter Weichen is really wronged, are the minister's cousins in private under the banner of the minister, although the micro-minister knew the truth afterwards, but because of the pressure of the family to reluctantly help the idea to suppress it, sage, you are clear, after returning to the capital, the minister was busy with the new currency and the bank almost day and night...... And Weichen's relatives are only a little greedy for some money, and they really haven't done anything hurtful......"
After Yang Guozhong pleaded, Li Mao looked up thoughtfully at Wang Siyuan, Zhang Jiuling and others, and then signaled Gao Lishi to send each of them a copy of the details found by Jin Wu Wei'an. After everyone finished reading it, Li Mao continued to speak slowly, "What do you think of this matter, although Yang Zhao did not defy the law, but there is still a suspicion of conniving at relatives and relatives to collude with officials to accumulate wealth, as he said, fortunately, the amount involved is not very huge, and the consequences have not yet appeared, but the state has national law, and the family has a home, even if he Yang Zhao is my royal family, there must be no exception, how should Zhang Xiang be punished according to the law!" ”
"This? According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the sage Yang Deputy Jingsi should be exiled for 3,000 miles, and he should also be removed from his official position...... "Oh? Is it so serious? Then ......" Before Li Mao's words were finished, Yang Guozhong thought about it with his head banging continuously, but Zhang Jiuling's next words immediately made him a little overjoyed and calmed down a lot.
"Sage, according to the old rites of the past, such a crime actually does not need such a heavy sentence, but the sage, where you are in the position, has repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed the strict law, so Yang Jingsi's fault is naturally heavier, but at an extraordinary time, when doing extraordinary things, Wechen thinks that at this critical moment of the issuance of new coins, Yang Jingsi, as one of the first-hand operators, should not leave for such a crime, his contribution to the new policy is also obvious to all, and I hope that the saint you can be extrajudicial and gracious, It can be regarded as to avoid some other unexpected problems in the new monetary policy, and Wang Jingsi is afraid that he will ......"
Wang Siyuan, who was standing on the side, was stunned for a moment, but then he also realized that Li Mao did not want to punish Yang Guozhong heavily, although he originally did not plan to fall into the ground, but if Yang Guozhong could leave Jingshi and no longer meddle in the affairs of the bank and the new currency, he was more or less optimistic, but after listening to what Zhang Jiuling said, he Wang Siyuan suddenly recalled what his little sister Wang Siluo had said to him before, that is, the key to the Wang family's reuse of Li Mao is to be loyal and selfless, No matter how Li Mao uses the Yang family to contain him left and right, he can't have the intention of monopolizing power, because if he does this, the Wang family, which has finally stood up again, is actually not far from the road to destruction......
"Saint! Zhang Xiang said that even if Lord Yang can't leave at this moment, the bank's new currency matter is now full of problems, if it is handed over to Weichen alone, Weichen is afraid that he will have more than enough heart and not enough strength! Moreover, Lord Yang did not know in advance about the illegal and criminal affairs of his subordinates......
"Do you mean that too? Is it possible that a person who has merit and ability can be extrajudicial if he violates the law of the country? However, what a few Aiqing said also has some truth, he Yang Zhao made a mistake, patted his ass and left, leaving such a pile of messes to be handed over to others to clean up, but it is still that sentence in front of the law of the Tang Dynasty, whether you are a relative of the emperor or a noble minister, you can't talk about it at all, this is not feasible to cut your post and exile, so let's punish it in another way, fight for thirty, and then go to the cell of Dali Temple to squat for half a month, in addition, those Yang family members who have been captured by Jingzhao Mansion will be strictly handled......"
Li Mao hurriedly walked out of the side hall as he spoke, and then before he could go far, Yang Guozhong's whole person collapsed to the ground in near collapse, and then before Wang Siyuan and the others could get close to support the two black guards, they quickly rushed in to say that Yang Guozhong was set up and dragged out of the gate.
"Zhang Xiang, do you think Yang Zhao will really be difficult to turn over this time!" "It's hard to say, Brother Lin, although the saint is wise and wise, but the power of this pillow wind should not be underestimated, the world-famous concubine Niangniang, maybe at this time is already on the way to intercede, the four daughters of the Yang family flew on the branches, so how can these men be less polished...... The saint can deal with people other than Yang Zhao ruthlessly, he is already beating their Yang family, if Yang Zhao doesn't know how to restrain in the future...... Eh...... Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, as long as the copper price is stable and the people's livelihood is stable, then it will be worth it for him Yang Guozhong's thirty boards......"
"It's still Zhang Xiang, you always think far-reaching, if you hadn't given the saint the steps first, then tomorrow's dynasty may not know how many people who have fallen into the well to stand up, and it will be very difficult for the saint to do it......" "The saint is young, and it is inevitable that the children will grow up, but those of us who are courtiers will share the saint's worries more carefully, and the various benefits of the silver tickets issued by the center will be conveyed to the various state capitals as soon as possible!" "I understand, my colleagues don't dare to slack off on this matter, it's just that this small island country of Japan has been decided, Zhang Xiang, what do you think the saint will do next! Is it really as rumored, will hundreds of thousands of young men and women in Japan be forcibly conscripted to serve in our Tang Dynasty? ”
"Huh...... It's not a rumor, it's a sure thing, there are a lot of whispers in this regard, but the sacred heart is unpredictable! However, this matter is put aside from morality and righteousness, but for the people of the Tang Dynasty, there is no sea, that is, a saint, he is afraid that he will be pointed out by thousands of people in the future......" Zhang Jiuling said this, and he couldn't help but ...... for Li Mao to be worthless-->
