Chapter 432: Lao Pei investigates Gao Dekai
"I am a corrupt official in this court, this person is full of benevolence and morality but is dedicated to selling official things, I want to get rid of him, but there is no evidence, you think about what I should do, and solve problems for me."
After Li Zhongxuan asked, he motioned to Dali Siqing to light incense, this incense stick is their deadline, and a man with a white fox face replied: "Your Majesty, this is also simple, you can find someone to hit the rest of his interior, grasp the evidence, and wait for the evidence to be conclusive, and then put it!" β
The man made a decapitation motion.
Li Zhongxuan nodded.
The second man said slowly: "According to the minister's view, he should be demoted to a lower position, let him go to a poor country to suffer and suffer, and kill him after a while." β
What this person said was not unreasonable, but Li Zhongxuan was obviously not very satisfied.
Seeing that a stick of incense was almost over, he looked at Gao Dekai, wanting to hear what different opinions the audience had on the big talents, in the imperial court for many years, Li Zhongxuan had seen more great talents, and they could write splendid articles on the answer sheet, but when they encountered something, they only shouted badly, and nine times out of ten they were straw bales.
At this moment, he really didn't want Gao Dekai to be like them.
But Gao Dekai smiled, Shi Shiran got up and saluted Li Zhongxuan.
"Gao Dekai, what do you think?" Li Zhongxuan pointed at Gao Dekai, and Gao Dekai smiled, "Does the emperor really want to listen?" Although Weichen's plan is more time-consuming, it can be done once and for all, not only can he kill this person, but also kill all of his comrades. β
"What those two said just now was not very clever, and the villain almost wanted to laugh." This is too arrogant, but Li Zhongxuan is very satisfied, in this Gao Dekai's body, he saw the youth and vigor, and he saw himself who was not afraid of the ground that day.
He admired him.
Li Zhongxuan smiled, "You have a very big tone, I ask you, how do you deal with it?" β
"Your Majesty, Weichen has three steps here to ensure that the matter is dealt with completely, this is the first, to promote this person's lord! Whatever official in the imperial court has a big face and has more access to the treasury, let them do what they want. "Don't talk about everyone, even Li Zhongxuan was a little stunned when he heard this.
The invigilator next to him coughed, "ProtΓ©gΓ©, don't talk nonsense, is this also the place to talk nonsense?" "You must know that the Golden Palace's countermeasures are very serious, and if you don't say a word well, you will likely be killed.
But Gao Dekai was not afraid at all, and the smile on his face was still the same, "After this person got the title, he naturally felt that the emperor trusted him, and he would be unscrupulous when he was corrupt, at this moment, wouldn't even a little horse foot be exposed?" Once the fox's tail is revealed, our emperor immediately finds a spy to collect evidence! β
"Good!" Li Zhongxuan figured it out, it turned out that the purpose of the promotion was only to make him more qualified to be corrupt and take bribes.
"What about this second step?" Li Zhongxuan had already listened to it with relish, but Master Pei next to him was a little disdainful.
"This second step, after the evidence of this person's crime is mastered, he will be raided, how much has he embezzled before, isn't it still official? In this third step, let him confess his merits and reveal all the people, and the matter will be over. After he finished speaking, there was a sparse round of applause.
Then, the applause grew.
"Come, the title of the gold list." There is no need to ask the rest of the questions, this person is indeed a talent, and the angle of considering things is indeed very tricky, which can be regarded as a self-explanatory machine.
After Li Zhongxuan held the cinnabar pen and filled in the name, he summoned the world at the same time, and everyone drank and had fun in Luming Garden, and the rest of the Ministry of Rites and Household Affairs would arrange their titles and new identities, and the top three would stay in the court.
Zhuangyuanlang is not a knighthood, he was placed in the Ministry of Rites to experience, as a music knowledge system, this knowledge system and the Hanlin Academy to be edicted, it seems that there is nothing remarkable, but it is the position that can be closest to the Son of Heaven.
The main thing that Zhizhi does is to draw up a holy decree for the Son of Heaven, which cannot be sloppy at all.
Since Gao Dekai became this "Lord Zhizhi", it seems that he is about to take Pei Yan's position, Li Zhongxuan will always be the first to ask Zhizhi as long as there is something, which makes Master Pei a little uncomfortable.
How could he balance, after all, he was such a young person.
And Master Pei is different, over the years, he was born and died before and after the saddle, and was attacked by the people who worshiped the Black Tiger some time ago, and almost lost his life, after so much blood and rain to get mixed up to this day, he will not let Gao Dekai take the lead.
Li Zhongxuan had already heard of the contradiction between Gao Dekai and Master Pei, and today, Li Zhongxuan specially summoned Pei Yan and said, "Do you think I really can't leave him in political affairs?" Confused! Now I just want to see if he has any talent, and what he said before did sound very reasonable, but it is really a lot of things, and I want to hear his opinion. β
"Your Majesty, this person is very suspicious, the old minister hopes that you will be cautious, it is said that we should have heard of such a person a long time ago, he is not a thing in the pool!"
Pei Yan was anxious, and his mouth was dry.
"Lao Pei, the so-called talented people in the country and the mountains have come out, I see that you are a lot old but you don't have the grace to tolerate people, this is not good." Li Zhongxuan refused to continue listening, and waved his hand to signal Pei Yan to leave.
After Master Pei left, Li Zhongxuan summoned Gao Dekai, "Lord Zhizhi, I want to ask you who Lord Pei is in your eyes?" β
Gao Dekai heard the voice, got up and said: "Boss Pei Yan is one of the best officials in the imperial capital, it really makes Weichen look up to the mountain, Weichen thinks that it would be good if he can get close to Master Pei, but there is always a group of people who say that Weichen and Master Pei are not harmonious, but this is groundless." β
"He's such a stinky temper, don't you think it's weird, I have something to ask you here, I know you can always handle it." Li Zhongxuan got up, thought for a moment, picked up a piece of music from the desk and handed it to Gao Dekai, the intellectual.
Gao Dekai didn't dare to open it and held it high.
"I want you to see, you can look at it, after reading it, I have a problem here." Li Zhongxuan urged, he got up generously and looked at this thing.
"It turned out to be a matter of drought and flood, and this is all up and down the Yellow River." Gao Dechang touched his chin, "Weichen knows what the emperor is embarrassed about, you have been lightly taxed for many years, and the treasury has been empty, but you have a little bit of wanton leviion, and you are worried about where the food and money for disaster relief will come from." β
Li Zhongxuan couldn't have imagined that this Gao Dekai was so skilled in the world, and even guessed these things, she smiled with relief.
"Tell me, I'm going to be out?"
Gao Dekai said: "Your Majesty, there are droughts and floods every year, where does the court have so much money?" And every year after the drought and flood, not only the price of grain doubles, but also the price of various prices will rise a lot, so the profiteers will become popular, according to the will of the ministers, let the merchants take out the silver to help the people. β
"It's a fundraiser! I've thought about it before, but do you think they'll be willing to give it up? I asked Master Pei to do such things before, but in the end, it was out of my own pocket that allowed the people to get through the difficult period. Li Zhongxuan is still unfinished.
His eyes are so bitter and hateful, worried about the country and the people.
At this time, Gao Dekai smiled, "Your Majesty, you can leave this matter to Weichen to do, Weichen only needs the right to cut first and then play, and guarantee that he will raise 100,000 taels of silver a week." β
"Are you going to do it? This is no joke! Li Zhongxuan felt that this knowledge system was a bit exaggerated, 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, this is not a joke.
You must know that in that era, a third-grade official was only sixty taels of silver a year, Gao Dekai knelt down in Li Zhongxuan to love you, "If Weichen can't do this well, Weichen's top flower feather will be picked up by the emperor, and even Weichen's head will be handed over to you." β
When Li Zhongxuan heard this, he looked at Gao Dekai seriously, and found that Gao Dekai had a serious face, and there was no possibility of joking, so he said solemnly: "Get up today, I hope that you will handle this matter properly within half a month, as long as a hungry person arrives in Sijiu City, I will only ask you." β
When Gao Dekai heard this, he just replied with the word "good".
This matter was arranged to Gao Dekai, and half a month later, the matter was really dealt with, and the silver taels she raised were handed over to Yushitai, where was 100,000 taels of silver, but it was 200,000 taels, this huge number couldn't help but make Li Zhongxuan look at it with admiration.
"I'm very curious, why are these people so generous today, when they take out ten taels of silver on weekdays, like a knife cutting meat? When will they also pay attention to the national economy and people's livelihood? Li Zhongxuan frowned suspiciously, staring at the champion in front of him.
Gao Dekai smiled and said, "What does the emperor think Weichen can do?" Wechen's rent collection is not easy to do, Wechen thinks that this extraordinary period is just an extraordinary means, Wechen took some local profiteers to a temple, Wechen killed a monkey to show them. β
"And then?" Li Zhongxuan knew that this was a means of "killing chickens and making an example of monkeys", and he couldn't help laughing.
"Then Weichen closed the door and showed the sword of Shang Fang that you gave to Weichen, even Weichen was strange, everyone was really generous, it can be seen that it is the emperor's grace!"
"What kind of emperor's grace is vast, it is obvious that you are taking advantage of it, but you are also equivalent to a tough battle, and you are fighting very well!"
Every year before, drought and flood were the most important matters of the imperial court, and they were particularly difficult to deal with, and he hardly thought that it would be done in such an overnight manner.
"You are simply my fan, I want to add an official to you." Li Zhongxuan laughed.
It stands to reason that ordinary people are naturally grateful when they encounter such an opportunity, but such a wonderful opportunity fell on his head, but things are not necessarily the case, Gao Dekai smiled.
"If Weichen really rares your title, he won't be able to gain fame in the first place, Weichen is for the people of Li."
Li Zhongxuan saw that Gao Dekai was so high-spirited, and he liked it even more, and rewarded one after another, but later heard that Gao Dekai exchanged all the rewarded things for copper, sent them to the West Market, and gave them to the poor.
Such an honest and honest official, not to mention Li Zhongxuan, even the common people like it.
On this day, Gao Dekai finished dealing with things, came out of the Qiankun Palace, and saw Fang Se from afar, Fang Se stood in front of the pond to look at the flowers, and the girl next to him said: "Miss, why is the lotus here different from our hometown?" β
"This is the so-called feng shui, the folk proverb says: a hundred miles of different winds, ten miles of different customs, the flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are big and beautiful, and the lotus flowers in our country are more colorful, but the lotus flowers in Zhongjing look boring, snow-white and snow-white."
The two were still chatting, and stretched out their hands to come over to a rich kid, Fang Se had seen him from afar in Luming Garden before, and when he saw Gao Dekai at this moment, he couldn't help but smile and salute.
"Has Zhuang Yuanlang just retired from the Qiankun Palace? Is this going home? "Fang Se was originally from the people, and unlike the Niangniang in Zhongjing, where is there any defense for men and women, besides, Gao Dekai was originally a person of light and moon, and she has nothing to avoid.
"I just heard the girl talking about lotus flowers? I heard Niangniang say that you are a mediocre person, I only know at this moment that I am the same townsman as Niangniang, Niangniang can have my mediocre lotus petals and lotus seeds? When she heard this, her heart was filled with joy and sorrow.
