Chapter 46: The Little Abacus
What Yuan De's idea is, how can Qin Zheng not know.
"Yuan Aiqing, you tell me, how long will it take to sort out the details of the expenses of the Jiangnan Palace?"
Seeing Qin Zheng ask.
Yuan De's heart was overjoyed, and the heart that was hanging just now was falling.
"Hey, that's what I'm waiting for, as long as I give me a few days to maneuver, a little trick, it's easy to come up with the details, the Son of Heaven is still too young."
Yuan De had an idea in his heart, but his expression was still solemn, as if it was difficult to do this.
Pretending to ask for a moment, he arched his hand towards Qin Zheng and said:
"Your Majesty, the construction of the Jiangnan Palace is a big project, and the things involved and its various expenditures are very complicated.
It will take a long time, and I beg your Majesty to grant your ministers ten days, after which you will submit to your Majesty the details of the Jiangnan Palace. ”
I have to say.
Yuan De's abacus played loudly.
Ten days.
Even if you falsify the details, you can forge a large number of them.
Xia Ji, who was standing beside Yuan De, looked at Yuan De's embarrassed expression.
Don't you understand the little ninety-nine in his heart.
He stood up, first bowed to Qin Zheng, and then asked Yuan De:
"Yuan Shangshu, according to the regulations of the imperial court, all the projects presided over by the Ministry of Industry must be recorded in every detail from the groundbreaking to the completion of the project.
Daily summary and report, so that the court and His Majesty can check at any time, although the Jiangnan Palace is a major project, but it is just in the groundbreaking stage, and the details involved in this are not much.
Why do you need to spend 10 days sorting it out? That doesn't make sense, does it? ”
Xia Ji's words seemed to be questioning, but in fact, he was implying that Yuan De was ineffective in handling things, or he did it deliberately.
This kind of crime is not big or small, but it is not small.
If the Son of Heaven does not pursue it, it will be fine.
Once it is more seriously investigated.
That's a big problem.
Of course, Yuan De knows this.
He looked at Xia Ji's breezy expression, and scolded his mother in his heart:
"This old puppet is arresting our Ministry of Industry, straight thief!"
Yuan De scolded Xia Ji in his heart, and the expression on his face was very indifferent.
"The right minister's words are biased."
Yuan De said unhurriedly:
"The daily affairs of the Ministry of Industry are extremely cumbersome, and as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, I deal with a lot of official documents every day, so it is impossible to stare at one thing, right?"
Seeing Yuan De say this, Xia Ji smiled indifferently:
"Yuan Shangshu, according to what you say, all the ministries of the imperial court are the busiest in your Ministry of Works, and all the ministers are the busiest in your Yuan Shangshu, so we ministers are idle and don't need to do anything?"
Yuan De's face sank, looked at Xia Ji and said in a cold tone:
"Right Minister, what do you mean by this?"
Xia Ji ignored Yuan De, who had a gloomy face, and turned to Qin Zhengdao:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the ten-day period mentioned by Yuan Shangshu is too long, and it should be shortened so that the details of the expenditure of this million taels of silver can be verified as soon as possible.
And as soon as possible, the remaining silver will be returned to the treasury in case the imperial court needs it from time to time. ”
Xia Ji's words made Yuan De, who was already dissatisfied, change.
"It's over, this old puppet is really going to be bad."
Even Ning Heng, who was standing in the first place, had a change in expression.
"If this emperor only needs the expenditure details of the million taels of silver, it is easy to do it, and it can still be done by taking some time to forge it, if you want to recover the remaining silver,
That's a big deal.
Ning Heng knew very well in his heart the importance of this batch of silver to himself.
This involves his follow-up plans.
If Qin Zhengzhen has been stubbornly holding on to this batch of silver.
Even if he doesn't take Qin Zheng in his eyes now.
But if you don't get it right, you'll get into big trouble.
"You can't let Xia Ji, the old horseman, and the faint gentleman stick to this matter, so you have to change the topic."
Ning Heng, who had a plan in his heart, took the initiative to stand up.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."
Seeing Ning Heng stand up.
Yuan De, who was originally forced into chaos by Xia Ji, breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's good that Ning Xiang stood up, otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with this."
Qin Zheng watched Ning Heng stand up, and knew that this old thing must not be well-intentioned.
The silver must be finalized.
Qin Zheng looked at Ning Heng and smiled indifferently:
"Don't be in a hurry to report first, I'll talk about what happened just now."
Without giving Ning Heng a chance to speak, Qin Zheng said directly to Yuan De:
"Yuan Aiqing, I can't give you ten days, and after three days, I must see the details of the Jiangnan Palace."
Ning Heng and Yuan De's hearts sank suddenly.
Three days?
The time is too short and must be extended.
Yuan De hurriedly replied:
"Your Majesty, the three-day time is really a bit tight, please ...... Your Majesty"
Qin Zheng interrupted Yuan De's words.
"Three days, that's enough."
Qin Zheng glanced at Yuan De, who looked flustered.
Then he looked at Xia Ji who was standing in front of him and He Guan, the graceful imperial historian on the side.
"Xia Aiqing, He Aiqing."
Natsugi immediately replied.
"The Minister"
He Guan, who thought that he could stay out of the matter, heard Qin Zheng call his name.
Suddenly helpless:
"Your Majesty, why can't you let me go, what are you doing with this kind of thing?"
Although He Guan was unwilling, he could not and did not dare to go against Qin Zheng's will.
had to stand up:
"The minister is here."
As soon as Ning Heng heard that Qin Zheng had ordered Xia Ji and He Guan.
His expression suddenly changed:
"This matter is a big trouble, a bit tricky."
And just when Ning Heng secretly said something bad in his heart.
Qin Zheng gave an order to Xia Ji and He Guan:
"Review the matter of the two silver in the Jiangnan Palace, by = the three divisions and the Yushitai sent someone to supervise and review, the details of the whereabouts of the million taels of silver, must be checked by me within three days,
If you Yushitai and Sansi dare to do nothing in this matter, or operate in the dark, I will definitely not be able to spare the two of you. ”
After getting Qin Zheng's will, Xia Ji didn't care.
He was firmly on Qin Zheng's side, and immediately bowed down and said:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will personally take someone to review this matter and give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer."
And after He Guan heard the words of Qin Zheng and Xia Ji, his head suddenly became big:
"It's the rhythm of the dead."
But He Guan didn't dare to refuse this.
He knows it very well.
If you dare to refuse at this time, with the current style of the Son of Heaven.
I'm definitely the first to be unlucky.
Therefore, I had to bite the bullet and say:
"Commandment."
Glancing at He Guan's reluctant look, Qin Zheng's tone was cold, and he asked him:
"Why, He Aiqing seems to be reluctant to do this."
Seeing the sudden change in Qin Zheng's tone, He Guan was shocked, and hurriedly said:
"If you return to Your Majesty, the minister will never have such intentions, and the minister will personally supervise this matter, and he will not dare to go against His Majesty's will."
"Hmph, that's for the best."
Qin Zheng ignored He Guan, but shouted towards the outside of the hall:
"Where is Wang Hai?"
Wang Hai, who had been on duty outside the hall, immediately walked in and bowed:
"The minister is here."
Qin Zheng gave him an order:
"You immediately take someone to the Ministry of Industry and bring all the files related to the Jiangnan Palace to the Detective's Mansion for review by the Third Division and the Imperial Historical Tower, and the follow-up files related to the Jiangnan Palace,
It will also be taken over to the Detective Office, which will be under the unified supervision of the Detective Office for the time being, and will be handed over to the Ministry of Industry for archival management after the matter is clarified. ”
