Chapter 112: Liu Yanming's Difficult Times! The empress's trade-off! (5,000 words begging for subscription!) )

Great Wei Kyoto.

Above the court, hundreds of officials waited.

Accompanied the empress to sit on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Shouting!

The Great Wei State once again opened an early dynasty.

The first to speak was an official from the Criminal Department.

"Tell Your Majesty, the minister has something important to say."

"Quasi-play."

Jiang Ling's face was expressionless, and no one in the hundred officials could see what she was thinking.

In the past few months, with the baptism of imperial power, she has gradually had an indescribable majesty.

"The day before yesterday, Weichen received a secret letter, which reported that Zuo Zongcheng, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, had occupied a thousand acres of conscience, and skillfully seized the property of the king outside the eastern suburbs, and also occupied the new concubine outside the king."

The official of the Criminal Department spoke, and at the same time took out the fold from his bosom, as well as a secret letter.

"The report letter records in detail when and where the Ministry of Rites waiter Zuo Zongcheng Zuo did, as well as detailed human and material evidence."

The words of the officials of the Criminal Department fell, and suddenly there was a lot of noise in the court.

Dongjiao County is the closest county seat to Kyoto in the Great Wei Dynasty.

The distance is not far, and the carriage can reach it in half a day.

In Dawei, outside of a Kyoto city, there are many small county towns, which is a normal situation, not only in Dawei, but also in other countries.

Therefore, Dongjiao County can be regarded as half a day.

"Wronged! Your Majesty! ”

Everyone hadn't quieted down yet, and the first to speak was naturally Zuo Zongcheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

In his early forties, gray hair was already faintly visible on his temples.

Among the six ministries of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Ministry of Officials can be regarded as a department with real power.

He is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of civil officials, as well as some affairs such as honors, examinations, transfers, promotions and so on.

Although he is just a squire, he has a lot of power in his hands.

Moreover, a person of his age can climb to this position, which can be said to have a bright future.

Although he is a little greedy on weekdays, he definitely never does such a thing.

immediately shouted in the court that he was wronged.

And no one else in the court came out to speak at the moment.

Because, this morning, the court started with a lawsuit, and it was also a lawsuit against the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

It's like an uncle suing a judge.

Although the six ministries are equal in terms of official positions.

However, in the process of handling affairs, it is an obvious relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Moreover, the official who opened his mouth was the Liu Party faction, and Zuo Zongcheng, the official servant, was the Yang Party faction.

The meaning is obvious.

The battle for the Great Wei treasure banknote has begun.

The Liu Party was the first to make trouble, and at this time, whoever stood up was very likely to cause a commotion.

Of course, this does not mean that the other party is allowed to slander him.

At the moment, everyone is just waiting for things to develop.

Let's see what the other party can do.

"Present it and have a look."

Jiang Ling's voice sounded.

The eunuch in the court quickly handed over the fold.

The appeal is counted.

In the secret letter, the testimony of the witnesses and the evidence of the case in the complaint are explained one by one.

Jiang Ling just glanced at it and handed the thing to the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, there is both human and material evidence in this matter, and Weichen suggested that it be handed over to Dali Temple to take over and investigate the case of Lord Zuo."

The officials of the Criminal Department have a businesslike attitude.

There was neither adding oil and vinegar to say more, nor resentfully accusing Zuo Zongcheng of his crimes.

is such a bland and serious expression, which makes people feel a chill.

Let the hundreds of officials in the court think that Liu Dang is serious.

In the past, most of the parties pursued certain interests, and the two sides argued and compromised, and there was a set of covert rules.

It won't involve wearing a black gauze hat on the head.

It will not involve life safety.

But at the moment.

Occupying thousands of acres of fertile land is enough to lose the black gauze hat on his head.

Skillfully snatching foreign property, concubines, enough to raid the family and exile.

If it's serious, it's a small life.

This is going to be beaten to the death!

Once this situation is opened.

That's a never-ending situation.

Liu Dang, how daring!

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged! These evidences are all false, he said that I occupy 1,000 acres of fertile land, and I have 30 acres of fertile land in my name. Where did I come from a thousand acres of fertile land, he said that I took it skillfully and occupied other people's concubines, and my family was a mess of chaff wives, and there were not even a few maidservants, which was purely wronged! ”

Zuo Zongcheng knelt on the ground and shouted wronged.

However, among the hundred officials, these words did not care.

Even Jiang Ling didn't care.

Sometimes, the struggle in the court is not about pursuing the real truth.

Jiang Ling had just read the secret letter, and among the physical evidence, there was a land deed of 1,000 acres of fertile land, signed by Zuo Zongcheng.

In the confession, an old slave guarded the courtyard, and there were concubines in the courtyard outside the king.

Jiang Ling believes that as long as the people of Dali Temple take over, once they investigate, there will definitely be this other courtyard, and the old slave's deed will definitely belong to Zuo Zongcheng, and the beautiful concubines in the courtyard will definitely cry and cry loudly, directly accusing the officials of Zuo Zongren for many crimes.

Jiang Ling didn't speak, but slowly stayed on the officials of the Yang Party.

Sure enough.

An official from the Ministry of Industry slowly stood up.

"Your Majesty, Weichen also has something important to do."

"Quasi-play!"

Jiang Ling still spoke expressionlessly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The official of the Ministry of Industry took out the fold from his bosom and said slowly: "Weichen sued the head of the household department, Zuo Lang, for embezzling 300,000 taels of silver in taxes last year and deducting 60,000 taels of silver for spring ploughing seed subsidies. ”

"The complaint, the testimony of people, and the physical evidence are all among them, please check them out to Your Majesty."

The structure of the six divisions of the Great Wei is almost the same.

For example, there is a Shangshu in the household department, a second-grade official position, in charge of the entire household department, and there are two left and right attendants, who are the deputy of Shangshu and the second-in-command of the household department.

Under the squire there are Lang Zhong, Yuan Wai Lang, and Da Situ, which is often referred to as the Thirteen Divisions.

The main management of the household department is the dynasty's land, taxes, income, household registration, needs, finance, food and other affairs, which can be said to be the god of wealth of a dynasty.

The household department is not only responsible for the collection and collection of taxes by the imperial court, but also responsible for the household department when the imperial court wants to use money, and at the same time controls the civil affairs of the world.

A ministry is responsible for so many things in a dynasty, and it naturally has a lot of personnel, including hundreds of people.

And that's just for those in Kyoto.

Not counting the out-of-town.

Zuo Lang, the head of the household, is regarded as a third-grade official, and among the hundreds of officials in the court, it can be said that he is an important minister of the court.

and Zuo Zongcheng of the Ministry just now is considered to be at the same level.

"Your Majesty, Wechen was wronged, last year's taxes, I can't make ends meet, how can there be a surplus of silver taels for Wechen to withhold, Your Majesty, you are clear, last year's taxes, Wechen are eager to break flowers, every money, are recorded, clear, clear. I beg Your Majesty to return the innocent name of the minister. ”

Accompanied by Sun Youqian's opening.

The hundreds of officials in the court immediately watched.

In particular, the Li Party faction did not think it was a big deal to eat melons, and they talked about it in a whisper.

You me one from the third grade, and I will do you from the third grade.

Among the hundreds of officials, the little ones who are at the back and have small official positions also settled down in their hearts instantly.

It seems that it is the big guys who are fighting today.

All you need to do is wave your flag and shout.

It won't hurt the younger brother.

Here, the eunuch once again presented the folds to Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling still just glanced at it, and then put it aside.

Still no expression.

The Ministry of Industry sued the officials.

He immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen has investigated clearly, the flow of every amount of silver, and the human and material evidence are there, and 360,000 taels of silver have been seized in the cellar of Lord Sun's courtyard, and the amount can be matched one by one, and I implore Your Majesty to hand over this case to Dali Temple for trial." ”

As soon as the words of the Ministry of Industry officials came out, there was an uproar in the court.

Play really, play really.

Three hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver.

That's a lot of money!

The Yang Party is really willing to spend money.

The three parties were all talking in a whisper.

There was a lot of noise in the court.

On the dragon chair, Jiang Ling still didn't speak.

What the Ministry of Industry said about the officials in the complaint, it was written in the complaint.

She also believed that as long as the people of Dali Temple investigated according to the complaint, there must be so much silver in the cellar of that courtyard, and it was not bad.

The ownership of the title deed of the annex must also belong to Sun Youqian.

Don't look at the Liu Party's preemptive strike.

But the Yang Party played more ruthlessly, without the slightest tact.

Liu Dang is a human witness, if you really want to investigate it carefully, there must be loopholes to drill, which is called leaving room for improvement.

And Yang Dang's words are directly smashed with silver.

I want to do it directly.

The embezzlement of 360,000 taels of silver, according to the law of the Great Wei, is enough to raze the three clans.

And there were 60,000 taels of silver for spring seeds.

Jiang Ling looked at the hundreds of officials in the court, and they were really ruthless one by one.

I couldn't help but feel palpitations in my heart.

But more than that, it's the excitement.

At this moment, I remembered the balancing technique that Xu Shouyun said before.

At this moment, the two parties are at loggerheads.

The key point is to be yourself.

One of his own actions, a word, can determine the life and death of these two officials.

No, it should be the death of many officials.

You must know that behind these two officials will inevitably pull radishes and mud, and string out a group of officials, large and small.

This kind of feeling of a courtier handing a knife and controlling the courtier's own life and death is really too comfortable.

In the previous months' court meeting, which one was not affected by hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China.

I stumbled over everything I wanted to do, and even some things were vetoed by hundreds of officials just when I just proposed them.

It felt like a puppet.

Now, compared to the previous months, the two are completely different.

This feeling of power in his hand made Jiang Ling's heart throb uncontrollably.

Of course, although she was infatuated, she did not indulge in it.

She knew in her heart that if she couldn't stay awake and indulge in it, then her final result would not be much better than that of a puppet.

Jiang Ling took a deep breath.

Slowly said: "This matter is put aside for the time being, Lord Zuo and Master Sun have been officials for decades, and I believe that there must be some misunderstanding in this." ”

Jiang Ling paused, looked at Baiguan, and continued to speak: "I will ask Dongchang to investigate the two adults again, and return Lord Zuo and Master Sun to their innocence." ”

Jiang Ling's voice fell.

The officials of the court and the central government were suddenly surprised.

Your Majesty didn't take the call?

The battle for the treasure money has just begun.

His Majesty directly interrupted it.

What does that mean?

The complaint of today's court meeting was clear to all those present that it was ostensibly a lawsuit against officials, but in fact it was a dispute over treasure money.

It's just that this has just begun, and His Majesty directly interrupted.

Your Majesty, why don't you play your cards according to the routine?

How does this make the matter of treasure money?

How does this make us fight?

The point is, His Majesty did not withdraw the recital and the complaint, but let the group of eunuchs investigate?

That's where it comes in.

This means that Your Majesty believes in everyone for the time being.

It can also mean that this is everyone's talisman when you look back.

In the court, Liu Yanming, the head of the cabinet who was standing at the forefront, had been squinting, but when he heard His Majesty's words at this moment, he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes appeared solemn and contemplative.

And Yang Ning, a cabinet scholar not far from the same row beside him, also had the same solemn expression.

Neither of them expected that this would be the case.

The empress doesn't play cards according to the routine, so what should I do next?

I haven't waited for the two of them to think about it.

Jiang Ling spoke.

"Also, how did you discuss the matter of the treasure money that you talked about last time at the court? Is there a solution? ”

Jiang Ling glanced around at the hundred officials, and continued: "The imperial examination is imminent, the birthday of the queen mother is imminent, and all the upper and lower departments are short of silver, so you have to speed up and get this matter done!" ”

The empress's words spoke.

The officials of the court and the central government suddenly had a sense of absurdity and confusion.

has been trying to get the empress to agree to the treasure money before.

But now it has changed, and the empress is urging the hundred officials to implement the treasure money.

This feeling of identity exchange made the thinking of all the officials present a little confused.

Above the court, there was silence for a while.

I don't know how to take the empress's words.

There was silence for a moment.

The Empress spoke again.

"What? Your Excellency has been discussing for several days, but there is no countermeasure at all? ”

Jiang Ling was not angry but mighty.

The officials of the DPRK and China did not dare to look directly.

It's not that hundreds of officials don't have treasure money to implement countermeasures.

But at this moment, the battle for treasure money has not yet come to an end, and it is useless to say countermeasures at this time.

Above the court, at this moment, fell into a strange situation.

The Li faction that eats melons understands best at this moment.

Good guys, the two of you are fighting for the Great Wei Bao banknote.

I just handed the knife up, and I wanted to use His Majesty's hand to kill the other party.

As a result, hey.

His Majesty does not play according to the script.

I'll take the knife first, and you keep fighting.

It's not enough.

Whoever fights fiercely will be responsible for the treasure money.

At this moment, Li Jie can be said to be sober in the world.

In fact, it's not just Li Jie who can see it.

Liu Yanming and Yang Ning also saw it.

Your Majesty, good means.

Although both of them had expected the battle for treasure money, it would be a life-and-death struggle between the two factions.

is also ready to give everything to fight.

But I didn't expect that the opening would be in such a drastic way.

Even the important ministers from the third rank are not enough in the eyes of His Majesty.

It's going to be a little more intense.

Over time.

The ministers in the court also gradually saw Duan Rui.

It's also more clear.

Your Majesty, it is mature, and it is not simple.

……

And Jiang Ling, at this moment, is thinking back to the four words Xu Shouyun said: 'Political cost! ’

With such a small cost investment, how can it be possible to decide the matter of treasure money?

With such a little cost investment, how can I secretly Chen Cang and implement the next plan of apportioning into the mu out of nothing?

Jiang Ling knew in his heart that if at this time, he asked people to propose a plan to spread the land into the mu, even if Dongchang had already begun to investigate the number of fertile fields in the world, or even if it had been completely investigated.

It will inevitably suffer opposition from hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China.

The financial crisis of the Great Wei must only be solved by treasure money.

At the moment, there are still nearly two months to go before the autumn tax.

In this time, I want to thoroughly implement the plan of spreading the land into the mu.

Only in this way can the silver crisis of Great Wei be completely resolved.

Only by solving the silver crisis can we free up our hands and clean up the follow-up mess.

……

Above the court.

Liu Yanming frowned and avoided speaking.

The same is true of Yang Ning not far away.

Baiguan also remained quiet, waiting for the decision of the two.

The situation in front of us is already obvious.

The situation is also clear.

His Majesty was not satisfied.

The big guy has to work harder.

With such a little strength, you want to win the treasure money?

Think of it beautifully.

Yang Ning, who was standing in the front row of the hundred officials, tilted his head slightly and glanced at Liu Yanming.

The face is expressionless, and the eyes are flat.

Liu Yanming also noticed this look, but Liu Yanming was very uncomfortable at the moment.

In the back hand, he must have been prepared, but this back hand is taken out now, it is too aggressive.

And he also understood Yang Ning's eyes.

You look at it!

I have the back hand too.

You me, and I'll you.

If you want to compete with me for the big Wei treasure banknote, you must be prepared to bear the loss.

Anyway, His Majesty originally wanted my Yang Party to do this.

If you want to grab, then be prepared to fail.

Time passes little by little.

The court was silent.

This extremely strange scene has never happened since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Jiang Ling sat firmly on the dragon chair and didn't give any instructions.

Originally, in this case, the eunuch should have shouted: Something to start, nothing to retreat.

But it was evident that the eunuch had good eyesight, looked down at his toes, and said nothing.

Liu Yanming's mind flashed with various countermeasure ideas.

Fighting is definitely going to be fought for.

It's a given.

Only one's own faction can take the matter of treasure money, and no one can be contaminated.

It's just that I can't go in His Majesty's footsteps like this anymore.

It's so uncomfortable.

This Yao Guangyun entered the palace twice and gave advice to His Majesty, which made the situation in front of him so dangerous.

It is not a loss to the first emperor to be called the talent of the emperor.

Yao Guangyun is terrifying.

Fortunately, the other party did not have the idea of becoming an official.

If you really encounter such an opponent, I am afraid that I will ......

Thinking about how many decades I have been an official in the DPRK, I have never had such a difficult decision.

Liu Yanming took a deep breath.

The sound of breathing could be heard clearly in the quiet court.

All the officials in the court also heard this breathing.

They all know that a new battle is about to begin.

The critical moment in the matter of treasure money is approaching.

There was even a part of the officials who held their breath.

The next breath.

Liu Yanming moved.

He stepped forward.

Shouting!

"Minister, Liu Yanming, there is something to play Your Majesty!"
