Chapter 222: Rectification
The Governor of Beilin hurriedly said, "The two Highnesses Mingjian, they are all used by him to slander the ministers, it should not be true!"
"Really? Then why did he accuse you? It is understood that the two of you had a good relationship before." Sheng Qingyuan asked lightly.
Governor Beilin hurriedly said, "Because he knows that he has already committed a capital crime, he wants to use this to slander his ministers, so as to try in vain to reduce his guilt."
The prefect of Beilin said, "Yes! I do want to reduce my punishment by reporting, but he is definitely not innocent! Your Highness, whether I am telling the truth or slandering, I believe that as long as you investigate in person, you will soon find out!"
The two people climbed back and forth to bite each other, this kind of dog-eat-dog scene, and the onlookers watched it quite energetically.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at Governor Beilin lightly and asked him, "Since this is the case, then I will ask you one last time, what Lord Lin said, is it true or false?" Your Excellency the Governor, there is a saying that confession is lenient and resistance is severe, and you will talk about it after you think clearly."
This sentence made Governor Beilin's heart skip a beat.
What does Sheng Qingyuan mean by that?
Did she have his evidence in her hands?
No, it can't be, the only account book is where he knows, and it can't be rummaged through.
She must be lying to him!
Governor Beilin said with a serious face, "All he said is to slander the ministers, please ask Her Royal Highness the Empress to learn clearly!"
"Okay." Sheng Qingyuan responded lightly.
Seeing that Sheng Qingyuan seemed to have no follow-up, Governor Beilin breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that Sheng Qingyuan couldn't have any evidence of him in his hands, and he was just cheating him.
Not long after Sheng Qingyuan's voice fell, Xuan Yu took out two account books.
Sheng Qingyuan picked up one of the account books and walked in front of the Beilin prefect and asked him, "Lord Lin, this is the account book you said, right?"
The prefect of Beilin looked at it and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, it's this."
After answering, he was suddenly stunned.
No, didn't he hide under his pillow all the time? When was this turned out?
No one cared about the shock of the Governor of Beilin.
Then, Sheng Qingyuan walked up to the Governor of Beilin with another account book and asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask if this is yours?"
Governor Beilin immediately denied it, "It's not mine, I don't know what account books!"
"Lord Governor, you haven't even looked at it, so why are you so sure it's not your account book?" Sheng Qingyuan asked rhetorically.
Governor Beilin was stunned for a moment.
Is he too weak-hearted and being tricked?
Governor Beilin took a deep breath and tried to speak, "We have a uniform system for the account books in our house, but this is not the case, so you can see at a glance that this is not my account book."
"Really? But this is an account book found in the secret room of the thatched house in your courtyard." Sheng Qingyuan asked Governor Beilin with a curious expression.
Everyone listened to Sheng Qingyuan's words, and they wanted to laugh for a while, but they didn't dare to laugh.
It is understandable to make a secret room.
It seems that there are always some secret rooms in the homes of these dignitaries.
But......
But the secret room was put in the hut......
Does this secret room always stink?
Hearing Sheng Qingyuan say that the account book was found, Governor Beilin's heart suddenly cooled for a large part.
When did the people from Sheng Qingyuan go to his house?
How did he find his hidden account book from such a secret place?
"Lord Governor, after comparison, the account book is full of your left-hand handwriting." Sheng Qingyuan said again.
Every time Sheng Qingyuan spoke, Governor Beilin's face was a little ugly.
Recognize his handwriting and forget it.
In order to be safe, even if he felt that no one would find this account book, he still insisted on writing with his left hand, so that even if it was turned out, there was no way to become ironclad evidence.
As a result, she didn't expect this to be recognized by her!
It's just that, compared with the prefect of Beilin, the governor of Beilin is still much calmer, and said: "Her Royal Highness is not right, ministers have always been accustomed to writing with their right hand, this is a well-known thing, how can people who are used to writing with their right hand write with their left hand?"
"It's true that ordinary people can only write with one hand, but the Governor is no ordinary person, you are one of the very few people who can write with both hands at the same time, and you can write very well." Sheng Qingyuan said with a slight curl of his lips.
Then, as if by magic, Xuan Yu took out some letters written by the Governor of Beilin with his left hand.
"These are the letters you had to write with your left hand due to an injury to your right hand two years ago, and the handwriting on these letters is the same as the handwriting in the account books." Sheng Qingyuan said lightly.
Subsequently, Sheng Qingyuan continued, "This account book of yours and the account book of the prefect are obviously not from the same person's hand. The handwriting is different, the way of recording is different, but the content related to the prefect is exactly the same."
Therefore, this account book is credible enough.
"By the way, some of the things found in your mansion also match the contents of the account books, Lord Governor, do you want to explain?" The corners of Sheng Qingyuan's lips curled slightly, and the Governor of Beilin asked.
Sheng Qingyuan said, "If the Governor still finds these things unconvincing, I have a lot of things here for the Governor and you to take a good look at."
The Governor of Beilin has already seen how Sheng Qingyuan convicted the Governor of Beilin.
The more he tried to deny it, the more excited Sheng Qingyuan seemed to be, and the more evidence he could find and slap his face.
Now that Sheng Qingyuan is going to attack him, the corresponding evidence should be ready.
The Governor of Beilin is still a little more knowledgeable than the Governor of Beilin, and there is no need to refute the fact that things have developed to this point.
The Governor of Beilin said with a dead heart, "Minister... Confession."
Seeing that Governor Beilin confessed his guilt so simply, Sheng Qingyuan didn't give him face like he did just now, and directly asked people to take him down, but he didn't say anything more about the guilt or anything.
Although the people were a little disappointed and wanted to hear it, today's result was something they could not have dreamed of.
This time, the two people with the largest official positions on Beilin Road were directly dealt with, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs below were also dealt with.
When the capital learned that Sheng Qingyuan had made a drastic move on Beilin Road, many people expressed their dissatisfaction and started to play to Emperor Yanbei.
"Your Majesty, this move by Her Royal Highness is extremely inappropriate!"
Emperor Yanbei glanced at him lightly and asked casually, "What do you think is wrong? None of these people are innocent, and the memoranda that the lady has handed back is clearly written, do you think these people should not be disposed of?"
Doctor Yu immediately said, "They have committed such a heinous crime, and they should naturally be punished. However, with so many officials at once, who will be responsible for the government affairs of Beilin Road?"
"You don't have to worry about this, the lady has already arranged it." Emperor Yanbei said lightly.
The eunuch sent the corresponding arrangement submitted by Sheng Qingyuan to several important ministers.
Seeing these people frowning when they looked at the concerto, Emperor Yanbei waved his hand, and the eunuch gave another concerto.
Emperor Yanbei said lightly, "Some of the newly appointed people, I'm afraid that you don't understand, so I gave you all an introduction."
After reading this thick introduction, everyone was convinced by Sheng Qing's placement of new officials.
These newly appointed officials are basically very much in line with the special circumstances of each locality.
Some people who have been officials before are similar to the people in the places where they have newly taken office, some people have a very unique way of dealing with a certain special matter, and some places need people who are open-minded, and they are also "prescribing the right medicine".
And these people all have a characteristic, they are very firm and upright in their hearts, but some people are sleek on the surface and know how to protect themselves, and those who don't understand these "human feelings" can only be obscure petty officials in poor places all the time.
There is also one thing in common, they have no one in the court, and there is no so-called mentor who can help them.
Sheng Qingyuan's "toss" gave them a space to display their abilities.
Several important ministers couldn't find any fault with Sheng Qingyuan's arrangement, and this "impeachment" became a joke.
A few important ministers had just left the imperial study, but they stopped again.
"Master Shi, do you still want to impeach Her Highness the Empress Dowager again?" The official department shoushu teased.
Doctor Yu Shi glared at him angrily, "Am I such a person?"
"Otherwise, what are you looking like now?" The official Shangshu asked deliberately.
"I just sighed, I feel that the princes fought for blood before, even if His Majesty was already seriously ill, but he didn't mean to establish a prince, but as soon as the eldest princess appeared, she was immediately registered as the crown princess."
"It's Her Highness." The official department corrected.
Doctor Goshi glared at him again, "Do you know what that means?"
Then he said, "I thought that Your Majesty missed the queen too much, so I would make the eldest princess a ...... without hesitation."
"It's Her Highness." The official Shangshu corrected again.
"You ......," the Imperial Doctor was interrupted twice by the Ministry of Shangshu, and he was so angry that he couldn't go up or down in his chest.
However, seeing that the official secretary was so strongly corrected, the Imperial Doctor couldn't help but ask, "You have corrected me so often, it seems that you are very satisfied with the canonization of Her Royal Highness?"
The official Shangshu said with a smile: "First of all, you and I are satisfied with Your Majesty have already decided, and secondly, when you come out of the imperial study, do you have to admit that Her Royal Highness is indeed better than several royal highnesses?"
"From this point of view, it is indeed remarkable, but is it possible that the king of Heng had the idea?" Doctor Yu Shi tentatively stabilized.
The official secretary said meaningfully: "You take the other princes, if King Heng wants to deal with these people on such a large scale, and if he disposes of them, he has to rearrange the manpower, what do you think will happen?"
Doctor Goshi followed the words of the official and began to think.
It must be a miasma.
It will definitely not be a big deal if you have a close relationship with a few princes, and the person who replaces it must also be their person, and the person who is promoted must also be grateful for the kindness of the person who promoted them, and in the end there will be no difference in nature.
Anyway, no one can do it as neatly as Sheng Qingyuan.
"General Ye is really blessed to have such a promising niece." Doctor Yu Shi sighed.
The official department Shangshu corrected again, "It should be said that we are blessed in Yanbei to have such a decisive and capable highness who cares for the people."
In the face of the praise of Sheng Qingyuan by the official Shangshu, the imperial doctor did not choose to refute it, but acquiesced.
When the new officials got their hands on the relevant matters of Beilin Road, Sheng Qingyuan did not leave in a hurry, but helped improve the medical system of Beilin Road, trained some doctors, and tried to build a new system.
Sheng Qingyuan has eradicated a nest of corrupt officials in several cities on Beilin Road, and his prestige among the people is high, and it is even more popular at this time.
