Chapter 279 Prosperous Elegance 39
Zhang Chengwang, the right attendant of the ministry, only felt that his head was dizzy, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he hurriedly stepped out, "Your Majesty, the minister, the minister was wronged, those account books must be fake, the minister has never done anything to sell the official mantle, let alone accepted millions of silver taels!" ”
Xuanyuan Hao didn't look at Master Zhang at all. took one of the account books, and the remaining two were all thrown to Ning Yue.
"This handwriting doesn't look very similar to Master Zhang, is it possible that someone deliberately imitated it?"
Lord Zhang quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, it's okay, as long as the emperor still wants to protect him, it's a big deal that when he goes home, he will hand over the silver he has obtained over the years to the emperor.
Ning Yue flipped through the account book, but the corners of her lips were slightly hooked, and then she quickly pressed it down, "This account book, the handwriting is slightly different every day, and the ink used has also changed, the two account books are different from the old and new, looking at it, it doesn't look like a fake."
As for the handwriting, this palace feels that it is not much different from the handwriting of Lord Zhang. ”
Zhang Chengwang knelt down on the hall with a "plop", "Queen Mother, the minister is really wronged, and the minister will not admit what he has not done."
Even if the account books really started recording eight years ago, it may be that the people who killed me behind my back have been planning for a long time, how can a little squire have such courage? ”
Xuanyuan Hao was afraid that the queen would say something he didn't want to hear, so he hurriedly intercepted the words: "What Master Zhang said is also somewhat reasonable, and he really can't wronged you." ”
Ning Yue still had a faint smile on her face, she was not stern, nor did she have a dangerous aura, but it was enough to make the courtiers dare not scorn her, "Then who wants to spend eight years to harm you a little squire?" Oh, that's not true, eight years ago, Master Zhang was still in the middle of the five grades.
This palace has seen the past performance appraisal of Lord Zhang, six years ago he was promoted to the fourth rank of the right waiter, in six years, Lord Zhang's performance has always been excellent, at that time the palace was very puzzled, how did you do it every year but did not get promoted twice?
Now that I think about it, maybe it's because the location has a special meaning. ”
Isn't that special? The official book has not changed, so Zhang Chengwang has no chance to rise, but other positions are not conducive to him arranging official positions for others, so he has never moved his position.
"Queen, the matter has not yet been clarified, and people cannot be convicted first.
Check the source of the account books first to see who is framing Zhang Aiqing. ”
Liang Yushi frowned, and then came out: "Emperor Qi, that account book was deliberately thrown into the courtyard of Weichen, and Weichen didn't see the person who sent the things at all." “
Does the source of the books matter? Isn't it the thing itself that matters?
"Your Majesty, this shouldn't be the way this should be done!
The account book is here, no matter what, I have to check Lord Zhang, if the matter is true, a small four-grade squire will never have such courage and ability to accept so much money, and there are so many officials involved in the account book, and he does not have so much power!
Although most of these people are grassroots officials, it is often these petty officials who have the most contact with ordinary people, they have not undergone scientific examinations, their knowledge is limited, and they are not very familiar with the laws of the imperial court. ”
"Queen, do you know what you're talking about!" There was a bit of a threat in it! Xuanyuan Hao didn't know that there was someone behind Master Zhang, but the waiter of the special ministry was also his person, if this was really investigated, it was estimated that a slip of officials would be involved!
Ning Yue's temperament has changed, and the originally graceful and atmospheric person has also become strong and cold in a breath, "Your Majesty, do you know how much impact this matter will have on you and the Great Xia Dynasty if you don't find out?"
To put it mildly, all the names that appear in these account books prevent honest and talented people from displaying their ambitions, and the jinshi selected by the court's triennial scientific examination may not have their official positions, which makes the students who have not had the opportunity to be officials after ten years of hard study feel embarrassed?
Secondly, the rating of officials is to examine their ability, character and development potential, and once the rating results are changed, those who are really talented and learned will be robbed of the opportunity to be promoted, and even depressed, in the long run, the bottom of the delivery is those officials who use silver to do things and take silver to do things, justice is not there, fairness is gone, and the quality of officials in Daxia will be greatly reduced.
The dynasties in history that perished because of the sale of official positions are the best examples, aren't these enough to be alarming? ”
What are you doing in history, the previous dynasty was because the royal family was arrogant and lascivious, so that the treasury was emptied, and even the clan's money could not be issued on time, and the Hengwang United Minister at that time sold a large amount of real money and silver used by the official mantle in exchange for his own extravagant life, which led to the low-level officials repeatedly increasing all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the people were overwhelmed and directly revealed, and finally let the Xuanyuan family get the world!
In the past, Ning Yue had never had a disagreement with Xuanyuan Hao in the court, but today she was suddenly refuted by her without mercy, and it was still in the Jinluan Palace, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, the anger in her heart can be imagined!
Just when he was about to have a seizure on the spot, several more ministers stood up, "Your Majesty, what the queen said is extremely true, and please ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly."
The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, and the case of selling the official beard must be thoroughly investigated, and the Great Xia Dynasty should never allow such a thing to exist! ”
This is equivalent to your family taking the power of others because of other people's mistakes, and as a result, when you are in power, you will make the same mistake, saying that the ancestor of your Xuanyuan family is estimated to jump out of the grave tonight and scold you for being unfilial to your descendants!
Speaking of which, isn't this Great Xia Dynasty going to follow the old path of the previous dynasty, waiting to be changed by others?
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, several ministers stood up to second, and then someone from the military general's side also spoke: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others lead troops to garrison the border passes, and the annual salary and silver household department cannot be issued in time, and the ministers are not less worried about this matter, but he, a servant of the ministry who can't blow the wind and can't get wet in the rain can earn millions of silver in a few years, the minister can't figure it out, the minister really can't figure it out, why does he want so much silver?" Rebellion? ”
Zhang Chengwang was dumbfounded: Am I your grandmother or your grandmother, let you hurt me so much? Lao Tzu made a fart against it! The rebellion is full of beheading, and Lao Tzu hasn't lived enough!
Two more generals stood up to speak, and they all agreed that the queen would thoroughly investigate the case, and they didn't want the emperor to let it go.
In the end, Xuanyuan Hao was angry and left directly, and Ning Yue ordered on the spot: "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department, General Zuo Qianniuwei, let the two of you go in person to see if you can find the remaining few account books in Zhang's Mansion, as well as the batch of silver." ”
I beg you to give me a ticket, and I don't have a ticket to leave a comment and go a wave, thank you!!
