Chapter 698: It's the End

Think of it, do it

I don't know how Yang Feng did it, but on the seventh day after he made this proposal, an excerpt jointly signed by Yang Feng, the governor, the political envoy, the envoy, the governor and other officials was sent to the capital.

When the cabinet first received this excerpt, its first reaction was to be taken aback, knowing that the signatures on this excerpt contained the names of almost all the civil and military officials in Fujian Province.

All the senior officials of one province collectively impeached the officials of another province for corruption and inaction, which is the first time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be regarded as a precedent.

Holding this fold, Han Yi, who was sitting in the Wenhua Hall, only felt that his hands were trembling.

"Not only did the two taels of silver allocated by the imperial court not reach the hands of the people, but the local officials intensified their efforts to strip the last bit of life-saving silver from the hands ......of the poor people, which is rare in ancient and modern times."

While reading the excerpt, Han Yi only felt that sweat continued to seep out of his forehead and flow onto the tonic on his chest.

Zhu Guozhen, who was sitting next to him, had a pale face, only Gu Bingqian's face was as usual, but if he looked closely, he could find that his hand hidden in his sleeve was trembling slightly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Old...... Xia Guan thinks that this wind must not rise, this matter must definitely be investigated, not killing is not enough to anger the people, not killing is not enough to thank the world! ”

Finally finished reading the excerpt, Han Yi only felt that the person was not good, and a kind of anxious and angry depression gathered in his chest.

"It's not like words, it's too bad words. What do Xia Dayan, Ding Youwen, and Tu Hongliang want to do, are they threatening the imperial court? Is there any more humiliation? ”

Zhu Guozhen was not angry, but frowned, and said slowly: "This matter is not trivial, it is rare for the governor, the political envoy, the envoy, the governor and even the governor of Zhengnan to impeach the Shanxi government for its unfavorable errands and greed for ink and migration.

It is bound to cause a huge sensation in the court, and Your Majesty is bound to be furious, so we have to think of a way. ”

"What do you think?"

Gu Bingqian spoke, "One million taels of silver...... So much silver in exchange for previous years, it was already a tax of 20% a year in the Ming Dynasty, but when it came to the bottom, it was swallowed up by those people and there was nothing left, what do these people want to do? Bang......"

A voice sounded, Gu Bingqian's hand slapped heavily on the table, only to see him shout angrily: "Someone! ”

"In!"

The door was pushed open, and a green-robed official walked in.

Gu Bingqian pointed at him and said loudly, "You go...... Immediately call Guo Yunhou, the head of the household department, to the official! ”

"Whoa!"

Half an hour later, Guo Yunhou came to the Wenhua Palace.

Seeing him coming, Gu Bingqian glanced at Guo Yunhou up and down, and saw that he was hairy, and then sneered: "Lord Guo, this official really didn't expect that your household department is really talented, it seems that both Your Majesty and this official have underestimated you!" ”

At first glance, Guo Yunhou was like a second King Kong puzzled.

He is also a person who has been in the sea for a long time, as soon as he heard Gu Bingqian's words, he knew that something must have happened, and it was a big deal, otherwise Gu Bingqian would not have reprimanded himself in front of the other two elders without thinking of his colleagues for many years, after all, he was also the head of the household department who was in charge of the money bag of the Ming Dynasty.

However, he still bowed down and said, "I still hope that Gu Ge Lao will make it clear, what mistake did the lower official make?" ”

Gu Bingqian took a deep breath and threw the fold in his hand to him, "Look for yourself, look at the good things you have done!" ”

Guo Yunhou took the fold and shouted at a glance.

It's just that the more he looked at it, the more embarrassed he became, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Pavilion Elder, the lower officials don't know at this time, and the money in the household department is allocated on time according to His Majesty's will." ”

"Dial it on time?"

Han Yi on the side snorted coldly: "Lord Guo, you tell the official truthfully, how much did you allocate one million taels of silver?" ”

"This ......" Guo Yunhou hesitated.

Seeing Guo Yunhou's appearance, Zhu Guozhen slapped the table and shouted: "You still haven't told the truth, how much have you allocated?" ”

Seeing that the two pavilion elders were angry at the same time, Guo Yunhou hurriedly said: "If you reply to the three pavilion elders, the household department will dial ...... Seven ...... were disbursed 700,000 taels of silver. ”

"Good...... Okay......"

Han Yi was so angry that he pointed at Guo Yunhou's hands and was trembling.

"The imperial court ordered to allocate one million taels of migration silver, and your household department dared to be greedy for 300,000 yuan, your courage is really great!"

Guo Yunhou couldn't bear the pressure from the three elders, and he also knew that once this matter was exposed, it would inevitably cause shock to the government and the opposition, and he, the head of the household, was probably about to be pushed out as a scapegoat.

Thinking of this, Guo Yunhou bowed down and smiled bitterly.

"Three elders, you have been in the court for many years, and you are also clear about many things in the court.

The household department has to feed so many people, and the annual allowance is so little, and there are so many mouths waiting for food. Therefore, every time the imperial court allocates money, the household department will intercept some cases, these are the practices of hundreds of years, and they can't all be blamed on the head of the lower official! ”

Seeing that Guo Yunhou was still quibbling, Han Yi sneered: "Lord Guo, don't stop being sophistry like a snake.

The official also used to serve in the household department, and the official also understood these rules, and he also understood that so many people in the household department had to eat.

It's just that the rules of the household department have always been generally only intercepted in one layer, and at most it will not exceed one and a half layers, and the rest must be sent truthfully.

But it's good that you guys actually intercepted three layers this time.

Do you know that if you dare to intercept three layers, and the governor's yamen below and the yamen of the state capitals in various places will be intercepted layer by layer, how much money will be left?

Now, one million taels of silver, not only did not a penny fall into the hands of the people, but those evil officials wanted to sell the money from the people's fields and houses again, forcing the people's families to be ruined.

These things are all good things for your household department, I tell you Guo Yunhou, you just wait for the impeachment of this official! ”

"Poof", Guo Yunhou couldn't support it anymore and knelt down and sobbed.

"Three elders, save the lower officials, the lower officials are also forced to do so!"

Looking at Guo Yunhou, who was still crying with tears and snot on his face in his forties and fifties, Gu Bingqian and the three of them looked at each other and smiled bitterly, this is the book of the household who has mastered the money bag of the Ming Dynasty.

Gu Bingqian let out a long sigh, "Master Guo, get up." You have already seen the excerpt, since even the Marquis of Jiangning, the governor of Fujian, the political envoy, the envoy and even the governor have jointly signed the excerpt, this matter is no longer something that a few officials can do, you go back and wait for Your Majesty's will first. ”

"It's over!"

Guo Yunhou sat on the ground, he knew that he had done it as a household scholar......
