Chapter 65 The common people are guilty of the same crime as the prince
Zhu Gaochi listened to it for a while, and suddenly felt that the second brother was not so angry, and even said that he was doing a good deed and should be rewarded heavily.
"If they are all like the second brother, they only receive one or five percent of the profits, and the people will not sell their sons and daughters, and how much can they reduce the tragedy of separation! He has done this beautifully, and his merits are immeasurable, I want to meet my father and ask for credit for him! ”
"Wait."
Xu Jingchang stopped Zhu Gaochi, "Don't make a noise, at least for the time being, you can't play Your Majesty, let me press it down first." ”
Zhu Da Fat Man was stunned, "If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have a mistake, you will be punished." Even if it is a good deed done by the second brother, I can't hide it from my father, and I still understand the truth that state affairs are important. ”
Xu Jingchang gave him a blank look, "What do you know?" This matter will have to wait for a while anyway, but it won't take a few days, and then tell Your Majesty, anyway, if something happens, I will take responsibility, and you don't need to bear the responsibility. However, I can remind Your Highness, if you can't control yourself and cause trouble for me, not only will the King of Han not be grateful to you, but Your Majesty will also blame you, and I will see how you end up then? ”
Zhu Dapang was taken aback, and he also heard it, Xu Jingchang did this, as if it was not for him to seize the heir and suppress the King of Han...... It's also self-inflicted.
At this moment, Yao Guangxiao coughed lightly and said: "Your Highness, just listen to Xu Tongzheng, wait and see what happens, there is an old man here, and I will go around Your Majesty." ”
Hearing this, Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief, but he began to be curious, what did Xu Jingchang want to do, and what results could he wait for in a few days?
But Xu Jingchang was tight-lipped like a bottle, and Zhu Da Fat could only wait, but fortunately, the General Administration Department was the center of the government, and all kinds of music were constantly sent, among which more and more impeached the Han King.
What is it to compete with the people for profit, exploit the people, be mad, and even say that the king of Han bought people's hearts and conspired to rebel...... The more Zhu Gaochi looked at it, the more frightened he became, he even had a thought, wouldn't the second brother really want to rebel, cousin is waiting for evidence?
In this way, another seven days passed, and the number of recitals for the impeachment of Zhu Gaoxu reached 20, and it was just in time for the ninth meeting of the General Political Department.
Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, looked at Xu Jingchang, and then said: "Xu Tongzheng, you have seen so many notes on the impeachment of the Han King, we can't be indifferent, right?" Do you want Your Majesty to decide? ”
Xu Jingchang smiled, "I said Zheng Shangshu, the matter of King Han's loan has been rumored for several days. I thought I should know what was going on, and I knew it. If your criminal department wants to impeach, I will definitely not co-sign the political department, you can do it yourself. ”
Xia Yuanji smiled, "Well said, our household department is not interested." ”
As for Song Li, Luo You and the others, they simply bowed their heads and kept silent, it has nothing to do with us.
The impeachment of a prince, even if it succeeds, will make a feud, not to mention that this matter is likely to fail...... They are not ordinary officials, they need to fight for a future.
The creatures who sit firmly at the top of the court think that more things are better than less, especially the broken things that have extraneous branches, the less the better.
Zheng Ci frowned, "Xu Tongzheng, it's really not that I'm troublesome, more and more people are impeached, if the Criminal Department doesn't have an attitude, it will definitely say that we are derelict in our duties, and next time I will be impeached together." ”
Jian Yi stiffened his face and said, "I don't need next time." ”
Zheng Ci was stunned.
Jian Yi added: "Someone has come to the Ministry to denounce it. ”
Zheng Ci's old face collapsed instantly, "So you guys hurry up and think of a way, I want to pass the test!" ”
Xia Yuanji chuckled: "How to pass the level?" You say that the king of Han is not right? Can you fool Your Majesty by talking nonsense with your eyes open? ”
Zheng Ci said bitterly: "Xia Shangshu, you don't know, the Han King's low profit, it is true that it will breed wanderers, I heard that some people get it for nothing, and they actually borrowed it with a profit of five percent, and then changed hands to two percent, and lent it to the people in the countryside, and ate half of the profit out of thin air, which is really too much." ”
Xia Yuanji snorted: "That's someone who is too greedy, even two percent of the profit is considered a conscience, let alone one percent of five!" ”
Zheng Ci was anxious, "Xia Shangshu, why do you keep helping King Han speak, what do you think?" ”
Natsuhara snorted, "What do I think? Are you still going to detain me for the crime of the Han Dynasty? I might as well make things clear, King Han borrowed money from the Treasure Money Bureau, and he exchanged real money for treasure money, and then went to lend, and there was no reason for the household department to object. I can clearly tell Zheng Shangshu, if you dare to go to Your Majesty for impeachment, I will tell the truth. ”
It turned out that the surname Xia was already full, and it was really difficult to have him to escort him.
The people deliberated for a long time, but there was no conclusion.
Jian Yi directly announced the end of the meeting, he patted his ass and left, and Xia Yuanji and others also said goodbye.
Only Zheng Ci stayed at the end.
"Xu Tongzheng, now that things have become like this, if you really let the King of Han do it, the people of Yingtian, who only know the King of Han, do not know Your Majesty, will have an accident."
Xu Jingchang smiled, "Zheng Shangshu, I know what you mean, but Xia Shangshu's meaning is also very clear, if you want to attack and compete with the people, or say that it is not appropriate to make money, he will not agree." If, as those people said, to frame the King of Han on charges of conspiracy, I can't agree here. What is the crime of framing the prince and the prince, you know it in your heart. Don't forget, there is also the queen mother, and it is not this way to find death. ”
Zheng Ci had a bitter face, and he became more and more embarrassed.
Xu Jingchang looked at him and said in a low voice: "Zheng Shangshu, you tell me the truth, is it that your family lent money and let King Han rob the business, so you are in such a hurry?" ”
Zheng Ci couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Xu Tongzheng, this matter really has nothing to do with me." It's just that His Royal Highness the King of Han provoked Yingtian's gentry and heroism, and I really can't say how many people will be implicated in this. There will be more impeachments in the future, and the pressure cannot be suppressed, and it will definitely be stabbed to His Majesty. When the time comes, the three law divisions will be tried, and the criminal department will take the lead, and what I do is wrong. I also hope that Xu Tongzheng will be enlightened! ”
Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and groaned: "Zheng Shangshu, I might as well make my words clear, if I really impeach and attack the King of Han, I will also stand up to help him." After all, King Han didn't do anything wrong. The only way at the moment is to let him retreat from the difficulty, take the initiative to give up this business, or provide more than 30% of the profits, just like the big guy. ”
Zheng Ci was stunned, "Then, what if he doesn't agree?" ”
Xu Jingchang smiled angrily, "You haven't heard a sentence from the common people, someone does the business of killing heads, and no one does the business of losing money." You just have to get his costs up and force him to make more money, no. ”
Zheng Ci still frowned, "Xu Tongzheng, can you make it clearer, I still don't understand." ”
"You don't understand? I don't understand either! Xu Jingchang turned his head and left, not bothering to say a word more.
I also have to play chess with the old thief, talk too much to this idiot, and affect my IQ.
Zheng Ci scratched his head and returned to the Criminal Department, constantly thinking about Xu Jingchang's words, how to increase the cost? There is no doubt that it is to let King Han spend more money, how to make him spend more money?
Looking at the mountains of case files on the table, Zheng Ci suddenly had an idea.
Since the introduction of commercial taxes, tax evasion has emerged one after another.
Hanwang borrowed, although it was only one percent of the interest, but it also made money, and since he made money, he had to pay taxes.
If you evade taxes, you can be punished three times, so that the cost will not go up!
Moreover, the king of Han was in arrears of taxes, and he was punished three times, which was justified, and the prince was guilty of the same crime as the common people. And Xu Jingchang, who is in charge of taxation, can't refute it, and even has to support himself.
Xia Yuanji finances money, but also to enrich the treasury.
Pull these two people, and then take advantage of the reason, and get it to Your Majesty, it may not be impossible to get out.
The more Zheng Ci thought about it, the more it made sense, and Xu Jingchang's kid hinted to himself that it was the same thing.
That kid is a genius.
Three days later, in the General Administration Department, Xu Jingchang was drinking tea and fishing, and suddenly news came that Wang Zhong, Marquis of Jing'an, had arrived.
Xu Jingchang invited him in, and asked with a smile, "Are the soldiers and horses ready?" ”
Wang Zhong immediately said: "Xu Tongzheng, don't worry, as long as you give an order, I will definitely charge forward, and I will not give up." ”
Xu Jingchang smiled, "It's not that serious, sit down and drink tea first." ”
After waiting for a while, the six-part music was sent one after another, and Xu Jingchang asked for the criminal department by name.
From a pile of notes, he pulled out a copy of the punishment of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of the Han Dynasty.
"Okay, you guys are tidying up, I'm in the palace."
After speaking, Xu Jingchang didn't look back, went directly into the palace and saw Zhu Di.
"Your Majesty, hurry up and use the seal to approve the invitation of the Criminal Department."
Zhu Di frowned, "I haven't seen it clearly, this seems to be an impeachment of the second child, you make it clear." ”
Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, I don't have time, hurry up and approve, I will immediately go and tell the Mindi Daily that I want to vigorously report this matter, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people...... If the common people break the law, do they have to be guilty of the same crime as the prince? ”
Zhu Di was still frowning, and at this time, Hou Xian suddenly ran in.
"Your Majesty, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Dali Temple, and Guo Zi, the imperial history of the left capital, ask to see each other."
Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, and all the three law divisions came.
He raised his eyelids, glanced at Xu Jingchang, and immediately lifted the royal pen and put on red, so he couldn't hesitate.
Xu Jingchang was relieved, if he wanted to change now, he needed to force Zhu Di to take back his life.
That's impossible!
