Leaving the household department, Gao Yuan entered the inspectorate again, and said a few words of greeting, wanting to check the inventory of the household bank in previous years. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The deputy envoy of the court asked people to go through the case file, and when they chatted, they looked worried, and Gao Yuan simply picked out the words in his eyes: "My lord, I have been thinking about whether to play truthfully on the way, and finally I still feel that I can't commit the crime of defrauding the king, the bank deposit in the household department does not match the account book, and sooner or later it will be exposed, even if the officials of Chaku are silent, I will let Your Majesty know in the future, you should understand what I mean." ”

The king is old, no matter who succeeds to the throne in the future, he has borrowed silver, why should the matter of the silver treasury be checked again, the deputy inspector oozed cold sweat on his forehead, today it seems that he is not offended, he is allowed to save his head, such a simple truth, if there is no hint of Gao Yuan, I don't know when I will be able to realize it.

"High school lieutenant, the prince and county lord have not repaid the silver, there is an IOU, and he is not guilty of making mistakes, everyone is like this, and His Majesty will not be held responsible. The household department has no purpose to issue the bank, and the imperial history of the investigation is not reported, and it is all at fault to be investigated, and the county lord has been in charge of the inspectorate for two years, and he still wants to think twice about which is more important. ”

"Thank you for your teachings, Takagaki was instructed to check the treasury, and if the amount of silver deposited is truthful, the benefits and disadvantages are beyond my duty. ”

Stamped the list with the seal of the Inspectorate, Gao Yuan and Gao Lin each put it in their arms, said goodbye to the deputy envoy with an ugly face, and the two took the guards to the restaurant.

The price of the private room upstairs was too expensive, and Gao Yuan didn't have so much silver, so he apologized to the brothers of the guards, and asked for a few tables on the first floor, and he and Gao Lin sat in the corner at one table.

"Captain Gao, it's about the county lord, do you really want to play truthfully?" Gao Yuan just nodded, Gao Lin grabbed the chicken leg and nibbled a few bites, and said to himself: "Go to the palace after eating, and report to Your Majesty as soon as possible, so that no one will take advantage of the loophole." ”

"What's the loophole?"

"Do you think, in the household department refused to accept the silver ticket, the news is afraid that it has spread to the provinces, and the people will return the silver quickly. ”

Gao Yuan thought that this was really possible, and after thinking about it carefully, he smiled again: "So you asked me to seal the account as soon as possible, just in case someone makes it bad." Gao Lin laughed dryly, threw down the chicken leg and gave a thumbs up: "You also thought of it on the way, go to the inspectorate to stamp it, hehe." ”

"Be careful, it doesn't matter if you don't pay it back, we check the library today, and there is a rhetoric if we really want to pay it back, it's a matter of these two days, and I'm not afraid of anyone taking the opportunity to make trouble." ”

Let the guards escort Gao Lin into the palace, Gao Yuan left the restaurant and went back to the small courtyard and went to the Inspectorate, not as clever and far-sighted as Gao Lin touted, he deliberately showed his attitude and asked the Inspectorate to pass the news to Duguying, how to deal with it in the future, he couldn't control it.

Small courtyard, no one visited, there was no expected scene of intercession, after practicing, Gao Yuan to the living room called the housekeeper, asked a few princes and county lords of the palace situation, the housekeeper did not know why he suddenly cared about idle matters, 1510 will know to say, there is no lack of hearsay strange things, Gao Yuan listened to it with relish, from time to time to interject a few words, but to explore the details.

On the day of the court meeting again, when Gao Yuan arrived, the palace gate had not yet been opened, and hundreds of officials gathered in groups, and he stopped in the distance as usual, chatting with the Praetorian Guard officers on duty, and the questions and answers were nothing more than trivial matters in the camp, but because of this, no one had ever come to disturb him, and the ministers did not want to fall into the notoriety of inquiring about the Praetorian Guard.

In the crowd, the ministers of the household department and the inspector made the old face full of tiredness and sleepiness, as if he had fought all night in the Qinglou to go to the battlefield, and from time to time looked at the back of the tall wall in the distance, but did not walk past after all.

The bell rang and the palace door slowly opened, Gao Yuan waited for the ministers in front of the door to enter almost, and then said thank you to the officer on duty and walked into the door quickly, Dugu Ying deliberately pulled behind, wanting to tell Gao Yuan a few words, but someone in the distance called him over, it seemed that he was a eunuch, and there were many inconveniences in the presence of the ministers, so he stared at him from a distance and walked away.

"Captain Gao, don't scold me for stealing merit, I really didn't expect Your Majesty to suddenly ask about Chaku, there is no way, I have to report the truth, or you will play the truth today, I will commit the crime of bullying the king. ”

"What did Your Majesty say?" Gao Yuan secretly scolded in his heart that if you don't steal merit, you are not qualified to serve when the old king is dealing with government affairs, and you will stay in Merlin to practice otherwise, how can you suddenly ask about Chaku. "When you want to enter the temple to give your decree, you will naturally know the holy will, and you don't care about a moment. Gao Lin answered the question, avoiding the questioning that would leak secrets, and Gao Yuan smiled at him and turned to Merlin to pick up the driver.

"Stand up, remember for me, and be respectful to the lieutenant in the future. ”

There was the voice of Gao Lin reprimanding the eunuch behind him, and the corners of Gao Yuan's mouth couldn't help twitching, compared to this little eunuch, he was still far from the way of dealing with people, and he asked casually in front of the eunuchs, and now he wants to smoke his mouth and inquire about the holy will in public, which is ridiculous and stupid.

Without the qualifications to enter the class to go to the court, Gao Yuan honestly waited outside the palace, and waited for Gao Lin to come out of the palace to summon, he followed into the main hall, and after kneeling, he picked up the checklist with both hands, Gao Lin took it and tiptoed up, put it on the table in front of the old king, and bent down to wait at the foot of the wall.

"Captain Po, you are ordered to run an errand, so you will take a list to give the order to Lone?"

The old king knew the truth of the check, but he didn't expect that Gao Yuan only presented a few pages of lists, and there was still a lack of household seals on it, saying that it was negligent and not very similar, so he could go to the inspectorate to seal it, how could he forget the household department in front of him, and after putting down the list, he looked at Gao Yuan, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the number of silver deposited and the number of silver owed on the list are clearly written, and the whereabouts of the silver owed are accompanied by a list. ”

In addition to getting rid of the guilt of not playing the book, he also complimented the king for being diligent in government affairs in disguise, Duguying really wanted to kick Gao Yuan a few times in the past, when did he learn to stammer!

He got up and replied. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Gao Yuan stood up, and the old king smiled appreciatively: "The general is on the verge of killing the enemy, the fighter plane is fleeting, how can there be time to talk nonsense, the list is clear at a glance, well done." But I don't understand, why the household department has not been sealed, but someone shirks and obstructs it?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the Inspectorate and the Ministry of Households are extremely cooperative, and the reason why the Great Seal of the Ministry of Households was not stamped was because the minister's heart was uncertain at that time. ”

"Lone understands, you retreat, don't go out of the hall, and stand at the end of the general's squad. ”

Only three senior members are qualified to enter the class court, and the captain is only a five-rank official, and the king let Gao Yuan rank at the end of the military general class, and the energetic minister quickly reacted, and the errand was done well, and he made an exception to enjoy the glory bestowed by the royal family.

"Qinghui County Lord, you have only been in the mansion for two years, and you have lent more than two or eight million silver from the household department, can you tell Gu, is the county lord's money not enough to spend?"

"Your Majesty, the ministers enjoy the prince's double salary, which is enough for daily use. Helplessly, the scene of Cuihua Palace is declining day by day, the prince touches the scene and weeps every time, the minister is a daughter, and he can't bear to be sad for his father, so he repairs it with all his heart, and the minister has no size to seal the land and pay a penny of tribute, only to borrow silver from the household department in violation of regulations, please punish His Majesty. ”

"Whether it is out of filial piety, or advocating prosperity, you have a decision to be alone, and you will return to class. As for the prince, Lone knows very well that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are obvious to all, the Cuihua palace is in groups, and it costs a lot of money to maintain and repair, and the prince supervises the country, and the IOU is an edict, and its situation is pitiful and infallible. ”

"King Ying, you have borrowed the most money, where did the money go?"

The king of England knelt down from class: "The fiefdom of the sons and daughters has been dry and flooded for many years, not only has no annual tribute, but also has to allocate silver for disaster relief, which is to borrow more silver taels from the household. ”

"Relief to the victims, a good prince, punish the crime, what crime will you be punished? ”

"The retainers obeyed. King Duguxing knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and the old king looked at King Rui Dugurun: "King Rui, the silver you borrowed is almost the same as that of King Ying, and he took it to help the victims for the orphans, what do you say?"

"Father, disaster relief costs a lot of silver, but the loan from the sons is also of other use. After kneeling, King Rui's face was fearless, and he played unhurriedly: "All prefectures and cities have official schools, but the children of poor families in remote villages have no one to teach and no books to read. ”

"Oh, educating the people is the policy of strengthening the country, it seems that you are not wrong, kneel. ”

The two princes knelt on the ground, the old king's voice was obviously displeased, and the inspector and the minister of the household department knelt down to plead guilty without waiting for inquiry, the difference was that the prince would look up and peek at the king's expression from time to time, and the two ministers hung their heads to the ground.

"Whoever wants to intercede for the two ministers, whether it is right or wrong, just say, Lone is not to blame, if it is reasonable, Lone will be rewarded. ”

All the civil and military officials bowed their heads, and lent out a huge amount of treasury silver without a will, and according to the law, they should be punished for self-theft by the prison guards, and the inspectorate did not report it to help cover it up, and according to the law, they should be charged with the crime of forming a party and bullying the king, and all crimes committed were capital crimes. The prince had admitted in public that the borrowing was true, and even if he wanted to intercede, he did not know where to speak, and he could only secretly sympathize with himself, and if he was in his position, the person who knelt on the ground should be his own.

"No one pleaded for mercy? hehe, one risked his life to lend out the silver taels, and the other did not want his life to help cover up, and the silver entered someone else's house, but he had to be punished, and no one said half a good word, alas, did you two ever think that there would be such an ending?"

The body of the inspector and the minister of the household department knelt on the ground trembled, and he knew that there would be such a situation before the court, and he still felt infinitely sad when it really became a fact, and now there is only one death, and he only hopes that the royal family will not be affected, but the hope is too slim, and the huge amount of treasury silver is probably compensated by the family, and the two of them are almost paralyzed to the ground when they think of the punishment of robbing the house.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military mood was complicated, and the dragon and the phoenix could certainly seek wealth and glory, but at such a moment now, without exception, all became scapegoats, and the king would never take the prince and the county lord to open the knife, and reducing the title and depriving the fief is the heaviest punishment.

"The prince and the lord of the county borrowed silver, if he did not give it, disaster would follow, and people who were not afraid of death would not spare their lives, and it was pitiful that the law did not conform to it. You are all old ministers, you have no merit and hard work for many years, and you can't bear to cure the crime of bullying the king, but the treasury and silver have to be recovered, and the merit will be made up, and all the arrears will be recovered within three months, and you will get up and go back to work. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing. ”

The punishment was light beyond everyone's expectations, some people secretly regretted that they did not go out of class to plead, some people were lucky not to investigate deeply, some people were sad and did not know where to raise money to repay the debt, for a while everyone's eyes were all focused on the King of England and King Rui, and some people peeked at the county lord of Qinghui a few times, wanting to see some future situations from the old king's handling of the three people.

"King Ying, you borrow silver for disaster relief, and you do your own thing without asking for an order, disaster relief is like fighting a fire, and if you don't dig deeper, you will be able to escape death if you dig deeper. Last year and this year, you successively recommended to Gu on the grounds that the fiefdom officials had achieved remarkable results in persuading the people to farm and mulberry, and the three people should be appointed exceptionally, Gu is not mistaken, drought and flood have been remarkable for many years, don't you think it is a little ridiculous?"

"The son is punished, and the father is severely punished. ”

"The fiefdom has been plagued for many years, and it is immoral to provoke natural disasters, and it is impossible to distinguish the coaxing of officials, and the royal majesty is incompetent, and how can the herdsmen be incompetent without virtue and incompetence! The two silver owed to the household shall be deducted from the prince's income year by year with interest. ”

"Father—"

"The family is father and son, and the court is the monarch and minister. Because of the waiting, Lone has been extrajudicial several times, and then dare to pray for the blessing of non-sharing, and stop blaming Lone for not thinking about the love of father and son, and retreat!"

The king of England was ashamed and angry, and returned to the court in frustration, the prince's eyes were complicated, and he sighed secretly when he looked at him.

"Intended purpose: King Rui is interested in learning, so he is specially removed from the post of the Criminal Department, and writes books and talks at home to show his strengths. The amount of silver owed to the household shall be deducted from the income of its fief with interest. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

King Rui's face was pale, and after thanking him, he retreated to the court, and the punishment seemed to be lighter than that of the English king, but in fact he was deprived of the authority to participate in the government.

"Intended purpose: The lord of Qinghui County borrowed silver from the household department to repair the palace, not without the suspicion of advocating prosperity, remembering that he was young and lightly, and deprived the prince of the extra money. It is also true that the household is owed two pieces of silver, and the income of the unfiefdom is also true, and the inner government allocates silver to pay on behalf of the government. ”

"Thanksgiving. ”

Dugu Ying pouted and thanked her, half of her money was missing, and she didn't ask for a fiefdom, so she ended up with a debt and didn't have to pay it back at home, and she suffered a loss after careful calculation.

"The rest of the families owe two silver, within three months without interest, if there is no power to repay the silver for the time being, according to the British Wang Rui Wang regulations, the household department and the inspectorate must be strictly recovered. In the future, the household department will dare to borrow silver without a purpose and punish it severely: 10,000 taels of 100,000 taels of ministers in the treasurer Lang will also be beheaded. If the inspectorate dared to shield for personal gain, he was imprisoned for life and punished with hard labor. ”

Gao Yuan stood at the end of the general's squad, and heard that the king disposed of the silver arrears, but others didn't care, and resolutely didn't want Duguying's silver in the future, and her income was less than half at once, and she was afraid that it would not be enough for her to spend it herself.

"Breaking the military academy captain Gao Yuan and the other three, not afraid of power and not greedy for money, if you don't reward how to stir up turbidity and promote the Qing, each rewarded three hundred taels of gold, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Inspectorate and the Inner Government discussed the promotion of positions in detail. ”

After the court meeting dispersed, in the depths of Merlin, the old king asked with a smile: "Ying'er also borrowed a lot of silver, if you play truthfully, aren't you afraid that she will be angry?" Gao Yuan was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer, the old king smiled slightly: "No need to answer, Lone already knows the answer." ”

"Accompany Gu to try to recruit in Merlin for more than half a year, and never disclose the news to anyone, and never do useless exploration when he has doubts, if he is not scheming, the city government is too deep. Hehe, there are some things that will make Ying'er angry, but Lone believes that you are willing to die for her. ”

"Your Majesty—"

"Don't ask Lonely, don't say it, these six months have been a master and apprentice to get along, hehe, Lone asks is no worse than Hua Zifei, when you see him in the future, everything will be understood, and you will know that it is harmful or not. Go back and give the gold to Ying'er obediently, hehe, or she will be really angry. ”
