He, the middle of the imperial history, is in charge of supervising the affairs of hundreds of officials, and if he wants to be upright and responsible, he must offend people on weekdays.

This impeachment of corruption is his proper duty.

What's more, in the past, the three divisions united and did not have the opportunity to investigate the remnants of the Divine Palace and purge the officialdom, in this process, they were the He family, and there were not a few people who were offended, and they were not afraid of one or two more.

The so-called lice are not afraid of itching, nothing more than that.

At least for now, he will be a pure and loyal minister, as long as the emperor is no longer suspicious of the He family, and has the heart to appoint him. As for others, it's easy to deal with.

But even so, this offending work, He Xiangshan thought that it would be better to do it himself, so that Jiang's reputation could still be better.

On the second day, the emperor came to the court to inspect the matter, and the officials could start playing in person if they had something to do.

In recent days, there has been a lot of calm in the court, so most of the things are trivial.

When the matter was almost discussed, the emperor waved his hand, and the attendants around him were about to announce their retirement from the dynasty, but He Xiangshan walked out of the queue at this time.

He stepped forward with a wat board in his hand and said, "Enlighten the saint, the minister still has important things to do." ”

"Oh?" The emperor's voice raised slightly, "If He Qing has anything to say, he will come." ”

He Xiangshan took out the chapter and account book written by Deng Zhen himself from his sleeve, bowed down and said loudly: "The minister wants to impeach, there are people in the court who do corrupt things, and they use Shaoyang relief to enrich their own pockets!" ”

The words exploded in the empty hall, echoing for a long time.

The hall was silent at first, and then the ministers couldn't help whispering.

"Corruption? He Zhongcheng said that someone was corrupt and gave money and food to Shaoyang? Did I hear me right? ”

"That's what I said, but I don't know if it's true or not......"

"Looking at the things he was holding in his hands, like an account book, I'm afraid he came prepared, right?"

"There has been a lot of funding in the Shaoyang area in the past two years, and I don't know how much money and grain is involved."

"When it comes to corruption, it is widely implicated, and I am afraid that there will be ...... above this court."

When the emperor heard this, his face suddenly became solemn, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the things in He Xiangshan's hand and presented them to him.

He first opened Deng Zhen's recital, and the green tendons on his forehead couldn't help jumping, but he pressed it down, and as the ledger turned back more and more, the frost on his face became heavier.

Seeing this, the ministers couldn't help but stop talking, and then quieted down.

The silence in the hall was like water, and there seemed to be an undercurrent of murder surging slowly underneath.

"That's really good!" The emperor laughed angrily, "I didn't know that there were such moths in this Great Zhou!" ”

"Every penny of Shaoyang's relief money and grain is related to the lives of the people, and you dare to take it without permission!"

"There is also this Shaoyang County Shou Deng Zhen, who wrote to the imperial court last year to ask for a thorough investigation of the matter, but he was able to be blocked back, and he was killed."

"Okay, good, you guys have stretched out your hands long enough!"

"The saint is angry!" The ministers didn't know who he was talking about, but in this situation, the only way to ask the emperor to calm down his anger was first.

The Emperor sneered: "What's the use of relieving my anger? Who should calm the anger and resentment of the tens of millions of people in Shaoyang? ”

His gaze swept coldly over the ministers, as cold as a knife: "Who among you is involved in this?" Don't hurry up and recruit me! ”

"Sage Mingjian, the ministers don't know!" The ministers immediately knelt down and called.

The emperor looked at the heads that were lowered and frightened, but what they were thinking in their hearts was not something that he, the emperor who was high, could know.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been deceived so far!

"Since no one has taken the initiative to admit their guilt, then we will investigate, and we will investigate thoroughly and strictly!" The emperor's voice was cold, "When I find people out, it won't be so simple later." ”

He looked at He Xiangshan and raised his voice: "In the imperial history, He Xiangshan listens to the order, and I order you to thoroughly investigate the corruption in Shaoyang!" ”

"I will give you a sword from Shang Fang, if you encounter stubborn non-cooperation, you can cut it first and then play!"

The masses couldn't help but be shocked, and actually gave Shang Fang the sword, this saint's royal sword has not been out for many years, but I didn't expect it to be in the hands of He Xiangshan today, which shows the saint's trust in it.

Also, as soon as the corruption case came out, it was widely implicated, and it was difficult for the ministers of the DPRK and China to prove their innocence.

Now, only He Xiangshan, who took the initiative to expose the corruption case, can be trusted.

In addition, the emperor specially sent Wu Desi to assist He Xiangshan at his disposal.

This Wu Desi is the Eagle Dog of the Son of Heaven, how can he tolerate the support of others? But the saint has a life, and Chen Nie can only bow his head and obey.

When He Xiangshan returned home, He Lingjiang was waiting in his study.

"Did the emperor hand over the corruption case to Grandpa?"

He Xiangshan nodded: "Not only that, but this time I also gave Shang Fang the sword ......"

Seeing the sword box held by He Cheng behind him, He Lingjiang's eyes couldn't help shrinking.

When they consulted with He Xiangshan yesterday, they thought that the emperor would most likely put the matter in his charge.

After all, Yushitai was responsible for picketing and impeaching officials, and enforcing discipline.

As soon as the corruption case came out, the emperor had to weigh and think more about employing people, and He Xiangshan, who took the initiative to come forward, just had to use it.

This case was handed over to him, although it was over the chief of the Imperial Doctor, but the case was originally exposed by him, and it was reasonable to say it.

It's just that what He Lingjiang didn't expect was that the emperor would give Shang Fang the sword.

If he has nothing to do with He's family, she doesn't believe it at all, but there is a powerful tool to give him a sword to show trust, and at the same time, he can also ask He Xiangshan to let go and investigate, why not?

She had to say that the emperor was unequivocal about using the He family.

That's fine......

He Xiangshan waved his hand and motioned for He Cheng to step back first: "It just so happens that you are here, how to investigate this case, and Grandpa will also listen to your thoughts." ”

He Lingjiang frowned slightly: "Judging from the news we have now, this case is not simple. The lives recorded in the account book of Deng Junshou are just a few small fish and shrimp floating on the surface. ”

"Even if it's the Shaozhou Thorn History, I'm afraid it's just a shelf on the surface."

He Xiangshan stroked his short beard and nodded, "Indeed." Since Deng Zhen had bypassed the court in Raozhou, he was still stopped, indicating that there were problems on this line and even above the court on the way. ”

"Then according to you, should Grandpa come from Yingdu to check from top to bottom, or go to Shaoyang in person and follow the vine to touch melons?"

He Ling Jiang smiled, and gently wrote the word "Shao" on the table with tea: "Here in Yingdu, we don't have any clues with Deng Junshoudu, if you stop here, I don't know how long and what month we will be trapped." According to her daughter, this gap is still in Shaoyang. ”

"Although the fish and shrimp are small, they can be caught around and caught, and it is impossible to lure big fish."

He Xiangshan couldn't help but stroke his palm: "It is worthy of being my He Xiangshan's daughter, our thoughts coincide." Shaoyang's place, I really want to go, and I have to move faster. ”

"I have instructed He Cheng to prepare the chariots and horses, and I will set off immediately!"
