Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Treasury Is Wide Open, and the Official Is Clear Like Water? (Ask for the first order)
Hour Yongfang, carp alley.
The officials who were still angry just now saw Wang Xiang's bright yellow holy decree, and they immediately took the initiative to step forward to meet the holy decree.
In fact, some things are already known to each other, Your Majesty wants to copy an important minister to set a model, and they are nothing more than asking Your Majesty to do things in accordance with the rules.
Even if their officials are really greedy for ink, then Your Majesty has to show evidence of their crimes, and they can't be used as slaves to copy them directly, and their civil official group is not vegetarian.
Wang Xiang unfolded Ming Huang's holy decree, and even read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says: The crown prince Shaobao Xie Yikui and the thief Huaien spread rumors about the abolition of the first emperor, causing the country to be unstable...... Today, it is confirmed that I am indignant, and I have given the family to sit together, and I have no furniture, and I have made meritorious contributions to the "Yingzong Record", and I have specially given my children to be exempted from being in the army and prostitution. ”
Rumors about the abolition of the first emperor?
When Zhang Jishan and other officials heard this charge, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Yes?
The corners of Li Min's mouth opened slightly, looking at the holy decree in disbelief.
He always thought that His Majesty sent Jinyi Wei to raid the house must have found evidence of the crime of greedy ink, but he never expected that His Majesty would play such a trick.
In the last turmoil, Ni Yue, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, pushed the responsibility to Huang Jing, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Huang Jing, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, pushed the responsibility to Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and finally Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pushed the responsibility to Xie Yikui, who had left Beijing.
It's just that as far as he knows, the source of the theory about the abolition of the first emperor is not Xie Yikui, and Zhou Hongmo must have pushed it to Xie Yikui to save someone at that time.
But who would have thought that when everyone had almost forgotten about this matter, His Majesty would use this as an excuse to break this deadlock and appear to be justified in raiding the Xie family.
"Your Majesty, my father is wronged! The minister's family is wronged! Xie Ke heard that the blame fell on his own head because of the rumors that the first emperor had abolished the prince, and he couldn't help shouting that he was wronged.
The Xie family, who followed the order, heard that the court really wanted to raid their Xie family, and this charge could not be refuted at all, so they cried even a lot.
Wang Xiang had already put away the holy decree and said expressionlessly: "This matter was identified by Zhou Hongmo, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and you have to cry out for your father!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Come on, get all the people inside, and seal this house immediately!" ”
In fact, in the final analysis, regardless of whether Xie Yikui is the source of the rumors that the first emperor abolished the reserve, with the house that Xie Yikui has purchased and the amount of gold and silver he has, he can't stand his fate.
Compared with these powerful ministers, Chen Zhun and his ilk are just a small thing, and how many famous gardens in Jiangnan are all from the hands of their officials.
"Zhou Hongmo, my Xie family will never die with you!" Xie Ke was actually present that morning, but it was too far away at that time, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth with hatred.
Others may not know, but he knows that although his father was in the Ministry of Rites at that time, he was always suffering from eye diseases. Not to mention that he will not intervene in the dispute of the prince, or even ignore the struggle of the court, it is naturally impossible to create rumors that the first emperor will abolish the prince.
This must have been Zhou Hongmo's sight that his father had left Beijing, so he openly slandered his father at the court meeting, so that His Majesty now has a reason to raid his own home.
This hatred, this grievance, must be repaid by Zhou Hongmo's blood debt.
Zhang Jishan and Song Cong couldn't help but look at each other in the middle of the matter, although they were science and Taoist officials, but they really couldn't find fault with the Xie family for this crime.
Spreading rumors that the first emperor abolished the prince, this crime is not even merciful, not to mention that it is just a raid.
The housekeeper of the Wan family watched from a distance, and after determining that the Xie family was really going to be raided, even if he hurried to the house, there was still a little joy in his heart.
It's not that he has a grudge against the Xie family, but that Yongfang is too quiet on weekdays, and now he has a good conversation.
"Hurry up and leave, otherwise Hugh blames this hundred households for being ruthless!"
"Put it all down, don't take anything away!"
"Who dares to burn the booklet, don't blame Lao Tzu's sword for being ruthless!"
……
The Jinyi Health Office has always been rude, and they received special advice from the higher authorities this time, so they entered the Xie family's house to deter some people who had abnormal movements.
The Xie family's family members are not small, especially Xie Ke can be said to have a group of wives and concubines, but now they are all driven out by the wolf-like brocade clothes.
"Guard the gate well, this thousand households should take a good inventory, and see how many family assets the Wenchen who keeps saying that he is honest as water!"
Wang Xiang watched his subordinates drive out all the members of the Xie family, and even let a few of his subordinates stay here, while he walked inside.
This......
When Zhang Jishan and other officials heard this sentence, which was obviously said to them, they immediately felt a hot face, and they couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Xie Ke.
Now it no longer matters whether Xie Yikui is the source of the rumors that the first emperor has abolished the reserve, as long as Wang Xiang opens the Xie family's treasury, then things will develop in another direction.
Now I only hope that Xie Yikui can be more restrained, or he has already transported the money back to his hometown in Jiangxi, otherwise their Wenchen's bottoms will really be torn off.
"Xu Pu, it must be Xu Pu's old horseman!" Xie Ke's heart was already filled with hatred at the moment, but his face suddenly looked hideous.
Li Min glanced at Xie Ke with understanding, and found that Xu Pu's old puppet was really harmful.
There was such a big commotion here, especially those officials who originally wanted to stop them returning to their respective yamen, so the news of the Xie family's raid soon spread throughout the officialdom of the capital.
"I thought that His Majesty had benevolently forgiven the Xie family, but I didn't expect that I would still make a liquidation!"
"In the final analysis, this matter is not caused by some people, if it is not forced too much, will Your Majesty take the Xie family under the knife?"
"Your Majesty actually left a mercy this time, otherwise Xie Yikui's descendants would have to be in the army, and now they are just cutting their nationality for the people!"
……
Although many officials have seen through His Majesty's true intentions, Zhu Youji's banner makes it impossible to find faults, and even maintains Zhu Youji's way.
After all, Zhou Hongmo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, pointed out that Xie Yikui was the source of the rumors, and this crime is not insignificant, and His Majesty has every good reason to liquidate it.
It's just that the most concerned thing is the Xie family's treasury, how much wealth has been saved by the former Ministry of Works, who has an eye disease, can he break Chen Zhun's record?
Forbidden City, Qianqing Palace.
In fact, they are the only ones who care about this matter, even Zhu Youzhi seems to be restless at the moment, and frequently stops his pen and glances at the door.
When Zhu Youzhu ordered Wang Xiang to go to the house, he was also like a gambler waiting for the dice cup to be opened, expecting and nervous about the next result.
In fact, some people and things cannot be judged from history books, after all, history books are never objective products.
If Li Shen is not found out, then Li Shen, who wrote "Who knows that Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard" is a model of Wenchen and a representative of integrity.
Yan Song, who lives in Jiangxi, was raided, so he became the number one greed in the literati's pen, and Xu Jie, who owned 240,000 acres of fertile land in Songjiang Mansion, was not copied, and finally got the nickname of "Wenzhen".
Now he ordered to uncover Xie Yikui's treasury, if it was Jinshan Yinshan, he would naturally be right, but if it was insects eating rats and biting cotton, he would have made a mistake.
It's just that these mansions are built in the capital with every inch of land, can they really be as clean as water?
Of course, the entire officialdom was even more panicked, and when they learned that the Kedaoyan officials failed to stop them, Xu Pu and the others knew that they had lost half of the game.
Xie Zhai, a big mansion with Jiangnan style.
"Smashed!"
Wang Xiang led people to the treasury, pointed to the lock in the treasury, and immediately ordered.
The two brocade guards immediately stepped forward, one picked up a copper hammer of nearly ten catties and smashed it down, and the other brocade guard smashed the door open arrogantly.
Wang Xiang didn't rush in, but turned around and glanced behind.
Song Cheng had just received a new imperial mission, and now he came to the treasury of the Xie Mansion, but his face was still the appearance of an ancient well without waves, and he looked at this treasury thoughtfully.
"Lord Song, let's go in!" Wang Xiang vaguely guessed that Song Cheng was valued by His Majesty, so he politely made a gesture of please.
Song Cheng looked at the door of the treasury in front of him, as if he wanted to uncover a mystery entangled in his heart, and also wanted to know whether these high-ranking court officials were really incorruptible or all sanctimonious hypocrites.
In fact, many people don't know that he has the same relationship with Xie Yikui, and when he participated in the examination, Xie Yikui was his own room teacher.
However, he did not think that the teacher-student relationship was more important than heaven, and what he had always pursued was justice, a kingdom where everything should be in accordance with the law.
Wang Xiang and Song Cheng walked into the warehouse, but their reactions were different, Song Cheng's black face was still indifferent, and Wang Xiang swallowed his saliva.
