Chapter 94: Collaboration with the enemy and betrayal of the country

Su Qingyun said tentatively: "His Royal Highness King Yu is fighting at the border at this time, and he has won three battles in a row, and the people of the world all applaud, no matter what he sends to the emperor at this time, it must be out of consideration for the people of the world, but the lowly people are too dull to guess, and I hope the emperor will solve our doubts." ”

Shangguan Yu also sent someone to send him a letter yesterday, probably explaining the reason for the matter, after all, no matter what, he is still from Shangguan Yu's side, so he still has to talk to him first.

He first praised Shangguan Yu in these words, because as the most favored minister around the emperor, Su Qingyun knew that after this incident, the emperor would only trust Shangguan Yu more and more, and praising Shangguan Yu at this time could just praise him in his heart.

Sure enough, after listening to Su Qingyun's words, Shangguan Sha's face improved.

"Sure enough, Su Aiqing, who is still me, understands things, King Yu not only won several battles when he went to the border pass this time, but also found a big moth in our big body, this person is very excessive, and even the military salary I sent to the border pass dares to embezzle!"

When the ministers heard this, they all talked about it, and asked each other who this person was.

Rong Lian's father, Rong Guogong, took a step to the side, walked to the hall, and asked, "I don't know what kind of person would have such courage?" ”

He did not have any party camp in the court, and he had always been a straightforward person and spoke very uprightly.

Emperors have always loved and hated such people, and they love such courtiers so much that they don't say anything false, and their hearts are all for the court, and they hate them because they are too upright and don't know how to speak in circles.

Shangguan Cha is naturally no exception, and he and Rong Guogong have known each other since they were young, and their affection is even more extraordinary, so they often believe what he says.

Seeing him ask at this time, Shangguan Yu slowly spoke, "It's a protector of Yumen Pass, named Guo Feng, King Yu searched for evidence of his corruption, and also found 200,000 taels of embezzled silver in his home. ”

After that, he ordered someone to move the silver money and things sent by Shangguan Yu to the main hall, and at this time, the silver of the white flowers was placed in front of everyone, which was ironclad evidence.

"Then Guo Feng hanged himself to death, and before he died, he left a letter of repentance, let Prime Minister Su Cheng read it to the ministers."

Shangguan Cha asked the eunuch beside him to hand Guo Feng's confession to Su Qingyun and told him to read it out in public.

Su Qingyun respectfully accepted the letter and slowly read it out: "I, Guo Feng, have survived for thirty-six years, and I have been an official for more than ten years,......

After he read it, this Jinluan Hall was like clear water entering an oil pot, and it exploded all at once.

According to the letter, since he was transferred to Yumen Pass, he began to embezzle, hundreds of thousands of taels a year, and in the past few years, there have been millions of taels!

No wonder everyone was surprised, millions of taels is what the concept is, since the founding of this dynasty, it has never been found that a person dares to embezzle so many silver taels.

Even a few years ago, Rong Guogong was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the corruption in the officialdom, and the maximum amount was only a hundred thousand taels, but this had already provoked the emperor's anger and put him to death in order to set an example.

Everyone thinks that this Guo Feng is also quite smart, and it is much better to hang himself in advance than to be crushed and scattered.

Seeing that the hundred officials in the hall were also very surprised, Shangguan Cha spoke again.

"Do Zhong Aiqing also think this number is amazing? In the past, the common people always said that ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion and millions of snowflakes of silver, I still think this sentence is a little exaggerated, but now a small Duhu, only two or three years to Yumen Pass, he is greedy for so much money, it is really shocking! ”

Rong Guogong was a little curious and felt that something was wrong.

"Your Majesty, it stands to reason that Guo Feng has embezzled for several years, so why did he only find this year's silver money in his home, and where did he go before, according to Weichen's opinion, this Guo Feng will definitely have the same party, otherwise with his position as a protector, how would he not dare to have such a big courage."

"The minister seconded the proposal, what Rong Guogong said is very reasonable, and he really should check who the person behind this Guo Feng is."

Su Qingyun beat the snake and put the stick, and he and Rong Guogong stood on the same position.

He didn't say this because he was on good terms with Rong Guogong, but Shangguan Yu sent someone to send a message to him, saying that he must let the emperor investigate the matter thoroughly, because there are still big fish behind him that have not surfaced.

Su Qingyun thought about it all night yesterday, and felt that it was necessary to help Shangguan Yu find out the person behind this, this person quietly looted so many benefits, and did not reveal a little rumor, he must be a scheming person, and he always felt a little uneasy if he didn't blow him up.

Shangguan Cha nodded, thoughtful, and then said to everyone in the hall.

"Rong Guogong's question is also my question, it's just that King Yu looted his capital to the bottom of the palace, only these silver taels, and Guo Feng didn't explain clearly where the money he embezzled before went in his self-confession, what do Zhong Aiqing think about this?"

was asked by the emperor, and everyone below was secretly thinking about what to say.

The court is like a battlefield, and it will change in an instant, because it is not unheard of for a sentence to enter the eyes of the emperor, so everyone wants to say a way to please the emperor.

Several of Liang Zheng's cronies glanced at each other, and they all felt that it was too early to speak, so they all lowered their heads and pretended to think.

"Tell the emperor, could it be that he handed over the silver to his relatives to hide, according to the humble opinion of the humble minister, it is better to interrogate his family and see if there will be any findings?"

A little-known official was the first to open his mouth and express his opinion.

But Shangguan Cha shook his head, "Guo Feng is the only one in the Yumen Pass's mansion, and the other relatives are all left in the capital, yesterday I have ordered someone to go to Guo Feng's house to take a look, and I didn't find it." ”

"The minister thinks that he should start with Guo Feng's officialdom, why was he sent to Yumen Pass to be the protector of the capital, and he didn't take a relative with him, this is really unreasonable, so the minister thinks that someone must have done something about it."

Su Qingyun seized the opportunity and expressed his opinion, but what he said obviously determined that Guo Feng had an accomplice in Beijing.

Although his power in the DPRK and China is not a monopoly, it can be regarded as a lot, and as soon as these words came out, the voices of seconding them were endless, and even Rong Guogong nodded.

At this time, seeing that the wind direction of everyone in the hall began to deflect, Liang Zheng's accomplices hurriedly spoke.

"Tell the emperor, the minister has something to say, this criminal Guo Feng can also be regarded as having some relationship with the minister, he was a civilian official in our army at the beginning, and this was personally appointed by the emperor back then."

The person who spoke was called Chen Wei, Liang Zheng's most trusted subordinate, and he accompanied Liang Zheng to fight everywhere at the beginning.

"I personally appointed?"

Shangguan Cha muttered to himself, there have been many things over the years, and there have been several imperial examinations, and there have been many talents, so he really can't remember Guo Feng.

"Yes, this Guo Feng was a first-class student in the imperial examination that year, and after the final palace examination, the emperor said that he was a little heroic, but it was like a military attachΓ©, so he was transferred to the military camp outside the city."

It turned out that this Guo Feng actually had such an experience, and Shangguan was a little surprised.

"Since he has some relationship with you, what do you think about this matter?"

"The minister feels that there should be another hidden reason in this matter, Guo Feng was very serious about doing things under the minister, and it happened that the Yumen Pass was escorted to return to his hometown, and no one in Beijing was willing to go, this position was vacant for a while, and the minister happened to be in front of him once, and he recommended himself, saying that he was willing to go, but it was just ......"

Seeing that Chen Wei was a little hesitant, Shangguan Cha hurriedly said.

"It's just what, Chen Aiqing can say it directly if he has anything."

Chen Wei looked resolute as if he had made some decision, "It's just that now that the minister thinks about it, there was something wrong with Guo Feng at the beginning, he knew the Xiongnu language, and the minister once found out that there was a correspondence between him and the Huns, but when the minister asked, Guo Feng said that it was a friend who met by chance, so Weichen didn't have any doubts, but now that he thinks about it, he feels that there is something abnormal." ”

Hearing him say this, not only did the officials around him talk about it, but even Shangguan Cha frowned.

If Guo Feng really has a connection with the Xiongnu, I am afraid that things are not simple, after all, how can ordinary officials go out of their way to learn Xiongnu language.

What's more, Guo Feng was recommended by Mao Sui to go to Yumen Pass, which can't help but make people think more.

"Listening to what Chen Shilang said, does the minister think that there is a connection between Guo Feng and the Xiongnu, and the silver taels before him were sent to the Xiongnu by him?"

Someone asked tentatively, as soon as Chen Wei's words came out, I am afraid that there were a lot more people who had this kind of thought, so he could be regarded as saying the voice of many people.

Many people around nodded and agreed.

"That's right, obviously you can do a lot in the capital, but you want to go to Yumen Pass, whether you have the idea of being closer to the Huns in your heart is unknown."

"It's really possible that he was sent to the Xiongnu country, if not, how could the Xiongnu, who had been honest, suddenly invade the border."

Everyone was talking nonsense, and the more they talked, the more they felt that this might be the truth.

Shangguan Cha also jumped in his heart, this explanation is reasonable, if Guo Feng is really working for the Huns, then embezzling military salaries can not only support the Huns, but also squeeze the soldiers.

At that time, for the Huns, it will not be easy for the Xiongnu to capture the Yumen Pass!

"If it is really sent to the Huns, then this Guo Feng is not only the crime of corruption, but also the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, such a crime is really not an exaggeration to die a hundred times, such a traitorous villain, it must be left behind for 10,000 years."

A civil official scolded with resentment on his face, the literati were already good at writing, and he decided to write a memorial letter after he went back, scolding Guo Feng.
