Chapter 130: "Li Shangshu"
Last time, I said that Zhu Youxiao negotiated the "business", because he almost messed up because he had no cash in his hand, but fortunately, the "butterfly essence" appeared in time and sent double the cash.
"Oh? It turns out that the 'National Teacher' is so rich? That's great! ββββ "Huh, rich?" Rich fart? Not robbing everywhere yet? β
As soon as the words fell, the "butterfly goblin" pinched his fingers, put away the storage bag hovering in the air, and then didn't look at the emperor and the concubines, and directly turned into a gust of demon wind and flew away, leaving everyone looking at each other, not knowing why, but after glancing at the "golden mountain", they immediately became excited.
"Giggles, that's a lot of gold! Your Majesty, with this money, we can do a lot of things! Sisters, count the gold, it's a lot! β
"Queen, you're right, with this money, we can train the new army well, hehe." Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood, and after looking at the queen, he couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect that even such a thing as a war can be used as a transaction in the eyes of the 'National Teacher'?" β
"Giggles, yes, the concubine also thinks that this 'national teacher' is becoming more and more mysterious." After Empress Zhou smiled, she suddenly frowned slightly and said, "If you take 'war' as a business for a long time, will you make too many enemies?" Or is the country getting poorer? And in the end, the people were displaced? β
"Uh...... This one...... I'm afraid I have to go and ask the National Normal University in person to understand! Zhu Youzhen saw that his concubines were happily counting the gold, and immediately put his mind at ease and said, "Does the queen think that this money was put in the harem first?" Or is it a direct transfer to the treasury? After all, it's a huge amount! β
"Giggles, of course, it will be handed over to the treasury, because 'the country is home, and the home is the country', only when the new army is trained well, can money make money, giggle."
"Haha, what the queen said, then do it!" As soon as the words fell, Zhu Youzhen said loudly: "Come here, the book of the household department will come to see me immediately!" β
"Your Majesty, the old slave is here! Belch...... This...... That's a lot of gold! How can there be such gold? "ββββ" less nonsense! Hurry up and call someone! β
"Yes! The old slave goes, too! "This old eunuch was a blessing in disguise just now, and his body was much tougher than before, as if he was more than ten years younger, and he walked briskly, and as soon as he got out of the gate of the "Qianqing Palace", he found the right direction and went straight to the "Shangshutai", and found that he was walking like flying, so he was full of energy.
Mo ran for about a quarter of an hour, just in time to get to the "Shangshutai" in the "noon gate", so he went straight to the "household department", just as Li Shangshu was on his way home from work.
"Lord Shangshu and stay, the emperor has something to do with you!" ββββ "Huh?" Princess? Why did you come here yourself? What is the emperor's business with the old minister? β
"Alas, I'm tired of the miscellaneous family. There's something, there's something, there's a big deal! Wang Gonggong gasped for breath and said with a strange smile in a male duck voice: "Li Dashangshu, you have work to do now, hurry up and call your men to go with you, the sooner the better...... I'm so tired, I have to take a breath first! β
This "Hubu Shangshu" is named Li Qiyuan, who was born in the 38th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1559) and died in the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1629). Li Qiyuan's name is Yuanyuan, the number Zhanyu, a native of Jitun Village, Nanhe County, Shunde Prefecture in the Ming Dynasty, Ye Yi Xing San, born on July 30 in the year of Jiazi.
In the tenth year of Wanli (1582), the imperial examination in the year of Renwu was the township examination - one hundred and seven "lifters", that is, "lifters". In the fourteenth year of Wanli (1586), there were 341 candidates in the Bingxu Branch Examination, one hundred and twenty-two in the top three in the palace examination, and the gold list "Jinshi", and the first grant of the "Guanzheng" of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and then the former Wuzhi County, which was changed to the county magistrate in the eighteenth year of Wanli (1590). Li Qiyuan stepped into his official career, and no one asked about the cold window for ten years, and he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop!
Li Qiyuan successively served as the head of the household department, the senator, the deputy envoy, the political envoy, the left and right political envoys, the governor, the governor, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and the secretary of the household department. He was an upright official all his life, conscientious and conscientious, and was highly valued by the emperor. In another time and space, Li Qiyuan died (1629), that is, in August of the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. In September of the same year, the emperor sent Ge Zhengqi, the "Chinese scholar", to bury Li Qiyuan. Li Qiyuan was seventy years old, and was given nine altars and three palace guards.
During the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, there was a celebrant eunuch named Wei Zhongxian, who took refuge in the "Hakka" of the Apocalypse Emperor's nurse and stole the power of the court. This eunuch co-opted a gang, cracked down on a gang, established his own "political power", controlled the government, and was called the "eunuch party", in fact, he decided everything on behalf of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
At that time, there was a "Donglin Academy" in Wuxi, Jiangsu, which was the place where Gu Xiancheng, the "servant of the ministry", gave lectures. Dr. Henes took this opportunity to discuss that it was not difficult for Wei Zhongxian to steal power and disrupt the country, and he was called the "Donglin Party". Due to the contradictions and antagonisms between them, this is the root cause of Wei Zhongxian's manipulation of the "Eunuch Party" and framing the "Donglin Party".
And Li Qiyuan, the head of the household department, is in Jitun Village, Nanhe County, that is, he is a rural person in Xingtai, Hebei Province in later generations, and he is an honest and honest official. Wei Zhongxian was wooed several times, but he refused. The "Donglin Party" also wanted to win over, but he did not participate. Wei Zhongxian believed that if Li Qiyuan did not get close to him, he would inevitably be used by the "anti-party".
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian wanted to wait for an opportunity to frame Li Qiyuan. It coincides with the construction of a "Imperial Palace" in the palace, which is a grand project and costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian saw this opportunity to make a fortune, and tried to find a way to take the power of building the "Imperial Palace" in his hands, and made a fortune by falsely claiming it.
On one occasion, 30,000 taels of silver were allocated from the treasury of the household department. When Wei Zhongxian saw a large pile of silver ingots in the house, he suddenly remembered a plan to frame Li Qiyuan. So, he ordered a little eunuch who was close to him to take out sixteen silver ingots weighing fifty taels with the name "Hubu" from the treasury.
When a small silversmith is found, he is asked to hollow out the ingots, pour the same weight of lead, and seal the sprue with silver. When the little silversmith encountered this kind of "black work", he knew that it was a "good job" to make money. Therefore, he took the trouble to buy a lot of sweets and snacks to entertain the little eunuch.
When the little eunuch was chatting with the other party, he inadvertently revealed Wei Zhongxian's intention to transform the "lead ingot". So, Wei Zhongxian put fifteen "lead-filled ingots" into the pile of labor and silver, and set aside one to split into two halves and show it to the emperor, saying that there were people in the household who were making trouble, and the silver was passed off as fake.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious and immediately sent an order to Li Qiyuan, the head of the household department, to go to the palace. After Li Qiyuan got the news, he was stunned, because the law of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that stealing silver from the national treasury was the crime of "destroying the door and raiding the family"! Just when his family was in deep grief and sorrow, he suddenly reported that the little silversmith in the same village had an urgent matter to see.
This fellow little silversmith told Li Qiyuan with a sad face that Wei Zhongxian had made sixteen lead-filled ingots and wanted to frame his whole family, and after finishing speaking, he hurriedly left this place. When Li Qiyuan learned the details, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see! I already have a way to deal with the Wei thief. β
So, Li Qiyuan was not afraid of danger and sent people to dig holes in the vault wall overnight. At this time, the holy decree has arrived, and it is necessary to rush to the court for questioning.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked Li Qiyuan: "What is the reason for the lead filling of the national treasury ingots?" ββLi Qiyuan reported: "Long live Qiyu, there are only sixteen silver ingots in the library that have been filled with lead. When the emperor heard this, he thought it was strange, so he asked the reason again.
And Li Qiyuan said: "The minister checked the warehouse the night before, and the thief stole fifty taels of silver and sixteen ingots. The minister checked that there was a lot of silver in the original treasury, and there was a thief hole in the wall of the treasury. Today, I was fortunate to receive the Long Live Divine Decree, only to know that the thief exchanged the fake for the true. The minister thought: It is easy for thieves to steal silver, but it is difficult to counterfeit silver, and if you track down the silversmith in Beijing, you will be able to know the whereabouts of the thief. β
Wei Zhongxian first heard the sixteen "lead ingots", and knew that the matter was exposed, and then heard Li Qiyuan push this matter on the thief, so he thought to himself that this is obviously to excuse me, if I don't use the words to step down, the emperor really found out the little silversmith, wouldn't it become "a slap in the face?" β
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Li Shangshu is really diligent in checking the warehouse at night. The theft of the treasury is a dereliction of duty. The merits and demerits are offset by encouragement in the future, so as to live up to the holy hope. This discouragement made the mediocre Emperor of the Apocalypse anger also disappear, and the matter was over.
Although Li Qiyuan said that he had passed this hurdle, he knew that Wei Zhongxian still refused to give up, and saw that the emperor was mediocre and the government was becoming increasingly chaotic, so he resolutely resigned and went home. But things changed in another time and space, that is, after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he remembered this Li Shangshu again, so he summoned him back to Beijing.
