Chapter 104: Summons
You don't have to look it up at all!
There are more than 600,000 taels in his house!
If you really check, it's even more unclear.
Seeing that the emperor was really going to check him, Hubu Shangshu knelt down, "Your Majesty, the minister, there are indeed 600,000 taels, but these 600,000 taels are not the silver that the minister is greedy for, let alone the silver that the minister made a false account, this is the minister.
It was Lu Qingshan, the governor of Yuhang, who gave the minister's money to buy officials in order to let his concubine Lu Jia enter the household department as a female official.
But first, because the minister's daughter's illness has been quite serious recently, and secondly, because the household department has been collecting taxes recently, the minister is busy forgetting. ”
The emperor was so shocked by these words that the green tendons on his forehead were jumping.
The silver that Lu Qingshan gave to Lu Jia, let Lu Jia buy the official?
If what the head of the household department said is true, then this is the military generals colluding with the Beijing officials, but is Lu Qingshan a fool who will make things so obvious!
"You're lying!" Without waiting for the emperor to clear his thoughts, Gao Zhun next to him pointed to the Hubu Shangshu and said coldly, "You said that this silver was given to you by Lu Jia?" ”
"Of course!" Tobe Shangshu said, "There is no half a lie. ”
Gao Zhun turned his head and called the emperor to clench his fists, and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the minister noticed the problem of accounts is that Lu Jia found something wrong when he was transcribing and summarizing the accounts, and showed it to the minister.
If, as Lord Shangshu said, this silver was given by Lu Jia, then why did she do it? Does she expose herself! ”
Tobe Shangshu didn't expect that there was such a yard, and his heart became more and more flustered, and he always felt that he had jumped into a whirlpool, which was rapidly enveloping him, but he couldn't see anything clearly, couldn't understand it, but he clearly knew the danger.
"Your Majesty, what the minister said is the truth, it is absolutely true!"
Gao Zhun said: "Your Majesty, did Lu Jia give this 600,000 taels, just call Lu Jia into the palace and ask!" She is a little girl, what can she lie in front of the emperor! ”
The chief chamberlain looked at the emperor, who frowned and looked at Gao Zhun and the head of the household.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly sneered, leaned back on the back of the chair, and with a murderous anger on his face, "Go, summon Lu Jia!" ”
"No!"
The chief chamberlain immediately received the order, and when he went out of the imperial study, he called his little apprentice and asked him to go and pass the word himself.
When Lu Jia received the news, he was on duty at the household department, and he entered the palace wearing a gray female official's robe.
"Courtier Lu Jia, please give your majesty peace, your majesty is blessed and healthy!" Lu Jia saluted calmly.
After saying goodbye, with a little doubt, he glanced at the Hubu Shangshu and Gao Zhun next to him, his big eyes were full of curiosity, and he was unstable with his little daughter's family.
The emperor went straight to the point and asked her directly, "I ask you, how did you come here as an official?" ”
Lu Jiadao: "It was the courtier's daughter who was admitted!" ”
The muscles on the emperor's face jumped with hideousness, and he slapped the table, "Presumptuous!" ”
Lu Jia was so frightened that his little face turned white, and he knelt down.
The emperor gritted his teeth, "I ask again, if you get it, you female official!" ”
Lu Jia's eyes were red with fright, and he trembled: "Yes, it was bought by the courtiers,"
Gao Zhun looked at Lu Jia in astonishment.
Tobe Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief.
The emperor was filled with anger in his heart, glanced at Gao Zhun, and said to Lu Jia: "Spent 600,000 taels? ”
Lu Jia was suddenly shocked, "Huh? ”
The chief chamberlain coughed, "There are no rules, the emperor is out of order, how can I talk to Your Majesty!" ”
Lu Jia immediately knelt down in a proper manner, but with a little grievance on his face, "It's not that the courtiers have no rules, it's really the amount that Your Majesty just said scared the courtiers, how can the courtiers have 600,000 taels, and the courtiers don't even have 60,000 taels."
The courtier's official was bought, but it only cost five hundred taels. ”
Hubu Shangshu was stunned and turned his head to look at Lu Jia, "You are talking nonsense." You clearly gave me 60,000 taels! ”
Lu Jia licked his lips, with an expression of are you a mad dog, "Lord Shangshu, calm down, you have to have a score for wronging people, open your mouth for 60,000 taels, where can I rob it, you just say that I am the robber of Tonghe Ticket House!" ”
The emperor's eyelids jumped.
Suddenly, Xiao Yan's reply sounded: The robber of Tonghe Ticket House was the one who blew up the hunting team, that is, the female devil of the Qianzhou murder case.
Naturally, it won't be Lu Jia.
What murderer would say that.
The emperor said: "Why do you want to give him five hundred taels to buy officials?" ”
Lu Jia said: "Your Majesty, since the last time the aunt of the courtier, that is, Mrs. Rong'anhou and the lady in the palace teamed up to wronged the courtier, the courtier's daughter was a murderer, not the third lady of the Lu family, and tried to rescue Xiao Yi but failed, the courtier's daughter was in a difficult situation in the Rong'an Marquis Mansion.
When the courtiers came to Beijing, it was actually Mrs. Rong'an Hou who wanted to use the courtiers to charm Lord Xiao Yanxiao so that she could control Lord Xiao.
So when the courtiers first arrived, Mrs. Rong'an Hou was very generous to the courtiers, and she gave the courtiers some jewelry and silver money.
Later, the courtiers didn't want to go back to Yuhang, and they wanted to stay in Kyoto but didn't want to be bullied, so they wanted to be a female official.
At that time, the courtiers only had five hundred taels of silver tickets in their hands, and Lord Shangshu said that if the courtiers could brew a copy of the wine in the tavern for free in the household department, they would agree to the courtiers an official position.
The courtier's daughter was going to the household department to make wine for a few days, and the whole household knew about this! ”
Tobe Shangshu finally knows what's wrong!
Since Lu Jia spent 60,000 taels to buy officials into the household department, it was not right!
He was designed.
Hubu Shangshu immediately said: "Your Majesty, it's not like this, the minister has the note in his hand when Lu Jia gave the minister a silver ticket at that time, and he exchanged 600,000 taels for an official position, and the minister has evidence." ”
Lu Jia shook his head, "I didn't write it." ”
Gao Zheng said: "Your Majesty, Lu Jia was brewing wine in the household department at that time, which is indeed true. ”
The emperor looked at the three people on the ground in a mess.
Lu Jia is fifteen or sixteen years old, she was targeted in the Rong'an Hou Mansion, and it is a fact that she can't get by, he has heard of this.
Just now, Gao Zhun said that Hubu Shangshu and Heping Weijun and the second prince had private contacts, and in order to save Xiao Yi, Mrs. Rong'an Hou teamed up with Ning Concubine to frame Lu Jia at that time, and the son of Hubu Shangshu was indeed held down outside the courtyard where the second prince was recuperating.
But this is too straightforward.
If the head of the household is really close to the second prince, will he really show it directly, and will he send his son to visit? Isn't it hidden in the dark?
But how to explain the 600,000 taels.
The emperor's mind was in a mess, and he suddenly thought of one thing, on the day that Xiao Yi committed suicide in the prison of the Criminal Department, the old lady of the Marquis Mansion of Rong'an once handed a secret letter into the palace.
She said that she also suspected that this Lu Jia was not the real Miss Lu San, and had sent someone back to Yuhang to verify.
So, are the verified people back?
If Lu Jia is fake, then the current problem of the household department is completely caused by Lu Jia.
If Lu Jia is real.
There is a problem with the book of the head of the household.
The emperor turned his head to the chief attendant next to him: "You go to the Rong'an Marquis Mansion and ask the old lady if the person she sent away earlier has returned!" ”
