Chapter 201: Participation
The emperor's admonition to the crown prince and Yongmu, He Lingjiang did not know the specific content.
However, when she heard Pei You's eyeliner in the palace that the emperor invited the prince and Yongmu to stay in the palace and talk for a long time, and even faintly angry, she also had a slight idea in her heart.
In any case this time, the emperor should be dissatisfied with the crown prince and Yongmu.
Of course, the Lei family was indeed involved in corruption, and the two of them drew their attention to the Lei family and Duanwang, and they could not be framed.
What's more, the crown prince is the crown prince after all, if he hadn't done something rebellious, the emperor would not have changed the prince easily, especially now that the king is becoming more and more useless.
Therefore, although the emperor was dissatisfied in his heart, he just took action to dispose of Tsing Yi Lou and teach them a lesson.
Pei You looked at He Lingjiang, who was sitting leisurely, and said with a smile: "Are you satisfied now?" ”
Although Yongmu used the hands of the He family to deal with the Lei family this time and cut off one of Duanwang's arms, she herself also showed the traces of Tsing Yi Lou, and her vitality was greatly damaged.
Ahhh......h It's not that easy to use.
He Lingjiang shook his head: "Yongmu will not talk about this place for the time being, but if this corruption is serious, it will stop at the Lei family, I am really sorry for the people of Shaoyang, and I am sorry for the hard work of Deng Junshou father and son......"
The emperor's careless approach was not unexpected, but since the eucalyptus had found out about it, if she didn't investigate it to the end, wouldn't it be a waste of all your efforts?
He Lingjiang has always felt that the crown prince is not a good candidate for the prince, and if King Duan is intentional and talented, he may not be able to take the latter over.
And because of Yongmu, the relationship between the prince and the He family is not friendly, but King Duan has a lot of wooing them.
The He family didn't plan to stand in line, so they thought that it would not be harmful to the He family if they were not in such a salty place.
But through the incident of Lanyin Pavilion, and then to this corruption, she can be said to have no hope for King Duan at all.
It is not impossible for a ruler to be dull and courageous, and it is not impossible to have the heart to fight for power and profit, but there is only one thing - it is absolutely impossible to ignore the people.
Such a person, the emperor still protects him, it is nothing more than wanting to implement the prince's checks and balances, and he doesn't want the prince Yongmu and his family to be too powerful.
But in this way, it is nothing more than letting the king go, how can he be worthy of those innocent people?
Pei You nodded: "What are you going to do?" After all, the saints all explained to He Gong and asked him to get married earlier. If it drags on to find out to King Duan's head again, whether it is King Duan or a saint, I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied with the He family. ”
She walked to the desk, picked up a small half-burnt account book from above and handed it to Pei You: "Take a look." ”
Pei You stretched out his hand to take it, the account book had been burned in half, and many of the handwriting on it should have been burned out unclearly, but from the rest of the contents, he could still distinguish that what was recorded on it was a huge amount of money exchange.
He looked at the date above, his eyes were slightly deep, this date was just a few days wrong from the time when the imperial court gave money and grain to Shaoyang, and the characters on it exchanged money and silver had two words written - Lei Wen!
"This is the account book between King Duan and Lei Wen?" Pei Yu said.
He Lingjiang bowed slightly: "After Lei Wen was arrested, King Duan had to dispose of this account book overnight, thanks to the way I thought of a way to replace the ruler, which left some evidence." In this way, his involvement in corruption is completely confirmed. ”
"You want to present this book to the saint?" Pei You frowned slightly, according to the emperor's thoughts, I'm afraid that this empirical evidence is not what he wants, right?
He Lingjiang did not deny it: "Since there is evidence, it is natural to reveal it in front of others." ”
"But—" she blinked, "this can't be done by the He family." ”
"Who's going to do that?" Pei You asked, as soon as his words came out, he suddenly realized, "Prince......"
This is the one who can't wait to make the king unlucky, and it should be the crown prince and Yongmu who are the most.
"However, the two of them have been warned by the saint, even if they have evidence in their hands, they may not dare to risk angering the saint again and go to the king again."
After all, the emperor understood that he intended to let Duan Wang go, and even if they showed empirical evidence, they might not be able to make Duan Wang lose power.
Pei You's eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "You, are you asking people to participate in the Duanwang in the name of the crown prince?" ”
As long as the account book is secretly handed to this person, and then he is instructed to act under the pretense of the prince's order, the matter will be done.
He Ling Jiang Wan'er smiled: "How?" ”
"Very good, very good." Pei You stroked his palms and praised, "It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone." ”
On the morning of the second day, He Xiangshan and Chen Nie came together with the officials and situations involved in the recent investigation of corruption, and the emperor was about to let him deal with the eucalyptus according to the law, but in the hall, there was a person's voice that sounded suddenly.
"Sage, the minister has something to do!"
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked towards him: "What's the matter?" ”
The man's heart was in shock, but he still stepped forward and took out the account book that was half burned in his sleeve: "The minister wants to participate in the Duanwang to participate in the corruption of Shaoyang, causing the people to starve and flee!" The ministers have the money exchange account book between King Duan and Lei Shilang as proof! ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.
The prince looked at the man in disbelief, it was his subordinates, yes, but where did his account book come from, why did he rush to participate in the performance without giving him it?
He raised his eyes and quietly glanced at the emperor, and sure enough, his face was not good.
Yongmu said, now that the father suspects that they are acting through Tsing Yi Lou, it is when they have a bad heart for them, and even with the opposite king, they are a little more tolerant, since they can't hit it with one hit at this time, it is better to do it slowly.
But which one is playing now?
The prince was at a loss, but the ministers in the palace were already talking quietly.
After Lei Wen was arrested and confessed, he heard that King Duan entered the palace and cried that he was scolded by the saint, and then closed the door.
Although the ministers knew that King Duan might not be really innocent, since the saint was not accountable, they understood what he meant.
Now it's the hard-headed one, so he has to go against the will of the saint, and he has to deal with the king of Duan?
Everyone's eyes have unconsciously drifted to the prince.
The prince didn't know whether to complain in his heart, or whether he should be glad that his subordinates had taken the ironclad evidence of Duanwang's corruption, and when his heart was tumbling in all kinds of ways, the man had already read aloud the regulations in the account book one by one.
The emperor's face became more and more cold and ugly with the man's voice.
But now, this matter has been probed, and if he avoids talking about King Duan, he can't talk about it.
"Check!" The emperor looked at He Xiangshan, "He Qing, since someone is participating in the Duanwang, don't tie the eucalyptus first, and continue to check for me!" Be sure to give an explanation to the people of Shaoyang and the people of the world! ”
"Yes!" He Xiangshan received the order quietly.
If you say that in the court, someone suddenly participated in the Duanwang and surprised people.
After going down to the court, the courtiers listened to the songs sung by the children and beggars in the streets and alleys, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, Duan Wang was afraid that he would not be able to get out easily this time......
