Chapter 604: Splashing the Heavens
Chen County ordered to embezzle nearly 10,000 taels of silver within a year, and was found out on the spot by the picket imperial history, and even if it was taken down by the guards, it was escorted to Kyoto.
Wangxian.
A certain imperial historian arched his hand to the county magistrate of Wangxian County, and said with a smile: "Lord Cui is honest and honest, and he is really an example for the officials of our court, these accounts are clear and there are no problems." ”
"It's a matter of duty, Lord Yushi has praised it falsely." Cui Xianling smiled and said.
"I still have responsibilities to do, so I won't stay here any longer, and I will leave." The imperial historian said a word to Cui Xianling, turned his head to the three young people behind him and said, "Let's go." ”
"This official sends two adults."
Cui Xian ordered those people to be sent to the door, and when the two imperial historians turned around, they nodded imperceptibly to one of the young men.
Qinghe County.
"Three thousand taels in half a year, Wei Xiancheng, you are very capable!"
Yu Shi named Wan Xu glanced coldly at Qinghe County Cheng, waved his hand, and said, "Take it!" ”
Fang only checked the account books of the Qinghe County Ya, and found that there was a deficit of 3,000 taels, involving accounts, all of which were handled by this Wei County Cheng, according to His Majesty's will, if there were more than 1,000 taels of corruption, the guards could be ordered to take it down on the spot and escort it to Kyoto.
Wei Xiancheng was pressed on the shoulders by the two guards, looked at a young man behind him, and said loudly: "I recognize you, Zeng family, you are a member of the Zeng family, didn't this official just refuse your solicitation, and dare to frame this official like this, this official will definitely seek justice from the saint!" ”
"Take it away!"
Wan Xu snorted coldly, this time the students of the academy were ordered by His Majesty to assist them in checking the account books, in fact, it was no longer assistance, if it were not for them, this mission would not have been able to go so smoothly.
The deficit accounts are clearly there, no matter what personal grudges they have had before, corruption is corruption, there is no quibble.
"Looking for a dead ......" Seeing that Nawei County Cheng was escorted away, Zeng Zijian pulled the corners of his mouth, held an abacus in one hand, and left the county office behind everyone.
Within a day, three officials were escorted to Beijing for corruption, and officials in the prefectures near Kyoto were panicked.
And the people in the yamen in Kyoto, who have not been found, finally began to panic in their hearts.
The imperial court will send people to check the accounts every year, but in fact, there are very few of them, and those who have the courage to make a fuss about the accounts can be found out so easily?
However, this time, His Majesty seems to be serious, and asked the students of the Academy to assist in checking the accounts, and the imperial court has not found out for many years, as soon as they intervene, everyone will have nothing to hide, everyone knows that such a thing will happen, and the source is those students.
……
……
"Bastard thing, that's how they do things for the court!" In the Qinzheng Palace, Emperor Jing slapped the table violently, and his face was extremely gloomy.
In one day, a case involving tens of thousands of taels was found out, and the treasury was tight, and in recent days, almost every penny he spent was carefully calculated, but he didn't expect that these officials below were so bold in terms of corruption!
If this is the case even in Kyoto, what about even more remote places?
Where have all the financial allocations of the imperial court gone in recent years?
How many people are cheating on the annual tax accounts in various places?
"Please also ask Your Majesty to take care of the dragon's body, don't get angry." Chang De stood behind him, pressed one hand on Emperor Jing's back, and slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, according to the old minister, the matter of checking the accounts cannot be done any longer." At this moment, Qin Xiang stood up, bowed down and said.
"Check, why can't you check!" Emperor Jing patted the table and said coldly: "I want to see how many moths like this are there in front of my eyes!" ”
Qin Xiang glanced up, sighed, and silently retreated to his original position.
It is necessary to check the accounts, and the imperial court sends the imperial history to various places every year to verify, and there will always be some moths to come out, which is also a deterrent for other officials.
However, it is said that honesty is an official, and the sleeves are clean, but how many can really do these words?
He has already understood the method of auditing the accounts of the students of the academy, so that almost all the accounts of officials will be exposed in broad daylight, how much shock will this have on the entire court and the whole world?
If you really want to do what Your Majesty said, a thorough investigation, I'm afraid...... The country will not be a country!
Emperor Jing glanced down at the more than ten people below and asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what else do you have to say?" ”
Including the two prime ministers and the six Shangshu, no one answered.
They are all old foxes in the officialdom, Your Majesty is clearly determined to purge a group of people this time, and raising opposing opinions at this time doesn't it mean that there are ghosts in your heart?
Moreover, His Majesty has acted more and more vigorously and resolutely in these days, authoritarian and arbitrary, even to the point of not listening to advice.
Even if most of the edicts are for Jingguo and the world, but in terms of means, they are still too tough, if they are not handled well, the entire court will be shocked......
……
……
Counting the college, Chen Lisen, Cui Xixin and others have just come back, all of them are full of spring breeze and high spirits.
"We're so unlucky, why are you the only ones who found out?" The expression on Li Jianren's face was a little depressed, and he sighed and said.
The other three groups of personnel have all gained today, but the accounts they checked did not have any major mistakes, and they returned in vain.
Cui Xixin smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm afraid it will take a long time to check the accounts, and your luck won't be so bad all the time." ”
At this time, Zeng Zijian suddenly glanced at Cui Xixin and asked, "Wangxian County Commander ......"
Cui Xixin looked at him and said, "That's an uncle in the family." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, both reading something from each other's eyes.
"When I go back this time, I can finally raise my eyebrows once." Chen Lisen smiled, and his face couldn't help but show a smug look.
Before today, they didn't even expect that there would be such a big harvest from this inventory of accounts.
Those imperial histories, all of them are decorations, as long as they are not too obvious, this is completely a feast for a few of them.
Thinking about the faces of those people in the family at that time, I couldn't help but feel extremely happy.
The other students of the Arithmetic Academy watched several of them walk past them, and their faces showed envy.
They have already heard about what happened today, and in terms of ability, they far surpass these people, but they have no chance, and can only watch the credit of the sky fall on their heads......
……
……
The Qin family.
In a certain room, a woman said with a worried face: "I don't know what happened to Feng'er there, I can't go home for several days, how can I take care of myself?" ”
The middle-aged man sitting at the table said, "Don't worry, madam, he is no longer a child, and he can take care of himself." ”
"We are fathers and mothers, we can't give him anything, everything can only be ......earned by him," the woman sighed and said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty attaches great importance to the academy, after Feng'er comes out of there, you go and beg your father to find him a good errand in the court, Qin Yu is the eldest son of the Qin family, but what flows from my family Feng'er is also the blood of the Qin family!" ”
"I see." The middle-aged man pondered for a while, nodded and said.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and the woman said, "Your Majesty wants to check the accounts this time, will you be found here?" ”
The middle-aged man shook his head and said: "Some of the following small fights are just small fights, it is enough to catch a few county orders and county officials, this matter is very involved, Your Majesty's order is only temporary, it will not last long, if it goes on like this, the court will be chaotic in a few days, and it will inevitably stop when the time comes, and you can't find a place like the Six Ministries." ”
"This matter has nothing to do with us."
The middle-aged man raised his head and said: "It's not easy to enter the academy, otherwise you have to send someone to tell Feng'er and let him not get involved in this matter, even if Yushitai conceals the identities of those people, it can't stand the investigation of people who are interested, if there is a real opportunity to be an official in the future, I am afraid that it will be a curse and not a blessing......
