Chapter 119: The Yanzhou Incident - The Problem

Qi Tai took the envelope and handed it to Yun Xi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Yunxi opened the envelope and saw that there was a pile of treasure banknotes inside, Yunxi clicked it, and there were 5,000 yuan of treasure money, which was 200 taels of gold, more than 1,000 taels of silver or more than 1,000 yuan, which was several times the annual salary of a first-class master.

Yun Xi took out the treasure money and showed them it, and smiled at Pu Shan: "They are really generous, they are willing to give you so much money." And they are also very caring, knowing that even two hundred taels of gold are cumbersome, so they give treasure money. Pu Shan didn't know how to answer, just "mmmm".

"But you can see how much money they take from the small people," Qi Tai said. Your Highness, these generals must not be taken lightly. ”

Yun Xi said: "How could Lone indulge them? When the car arrives in Yanzhou tomorrow, I will dispose of them. ”

Pu Shan said again: "Your Highness, the Wei Zhenfu who was on duty at the Sanwei Yamen before did not participate in the banquet after that, and the minister and other people asked about this person, and many people said that the person was arrogant and unsociable, and he looked down on others because the king of Xianlu Huang trusted him, so he didn't feast, and everyone didn't talk to him on weekdays. ”

The minister felt that since all the generals were alienated from him, it was very likely that this Wei Zhenfu did not participate in the three guards' infringement of the people under the banner of King Lu. Although there are things that are not reported, there are extenuating circumstances. If it is indeed found that the person has not received money, can he be exempted from punishment? ”

Yun Xi said: "If it is found out that the person you said did not accept any money, then you can be exempted from punishment." What is the name of this official? ”

Pu Shan replied: "Your Highness, this person's name is He Yu. ”

At this time, Chen Xing returned. Chen Xing said to Yun Xi: "Your Highness, the minister inquired and learned that Zou Ji of Ziyang Zhixian County was not from a rich family; Many officials said: 'This magistrate's family is very poor, and he sends money to his hometown every year. ’”

Qi Tai asked, "How do you find out about the family background of the county?" Chen Xing hurriedly opened his mouth to explain to him.

After listening to Chen Xing's explanation, Qi Tai said: "Then it seems that this magistrate is also a corrupt person. Yun Xi felt the same in his heart, but he didn't say it out of caution.

At this end of the discussion, Yun Xi saw that they had nothing to say, so he said: "I have fully understood the situation, I will think about it again, and I will call you again if there is something, you should retreat first." The people bowed and withdrew.

However, Yang Feng, the leader of the guards, deliberately fell behind. After everyone else had gone out, he asked, "Your Highness, the amount of gold they gave to Lord Pu shows that they are very powerful in preying on the common people and embezzling the people's wealth!" Your Majesty punishes corruption like this, why can they still handle such a big corruption case! ”

Yun Xi smiled bitterly and said, "Yang Feng, how can I tell you." If it were elsewhere, it would never have been possible for local officials to handle such a big case; But Yanzhou is not the fief of King Lu. ”

"Lone guessed that the previous occupation of Mintian for King Lu Huangzhuang was indeed an order from King Lu's Mansion, most likely because King Lu Mansion Changshi and King Lu said that they would need Huangzhuang in the future, and King Lu told Grandpa Huang Zhuang that he wanted Huangzhuang, and Grandpa Huang agreed. At that time, after the magistrates wrote a letter saying that they would not be allowed to encroach on the land, His Majesty would not punish these officials, but he would not agree to their letter, but he would not issue it. ”

"When the local officials saw this, how could they not understand what the imperial grandfather meant, so after that, all the things related to King Lu turned a blind eye, and these corrupt people could embezzle the people's wealth under the banner of King Lu."

Yun Xi can't say the rest of the words, but the fundamental reason is that Lao Zhu is too doting on his children and grandchildren, the year before last, the king of Qi Zhu Rong ** more than 40 people's daughters, forcibly occupied more than 400 houses, and the local government newspaper was just in exchange for Lao Zhu's decree to apply for Zhu Rong, and he didn't even call him to the capital to apply for it.

Yanzhou is not too far from Qingzhou, the fief of King Qi, and it is in Shandong, and the officials in Yanzhou know about Qingzhou, and those who don't get involved in this matter will not be able to go to the book, and they are more bold to mix with this matter.

It seems that in the future, after the implementation of the actual feudal, these vassal kings, even those who do not have the throne, will be sent to the vassal kingdom, out of sight and out of mind, and they will not be troubled in the country, and they will not be harmed in the country. Yoon-hee thought so.

Yun Xi, who was immersed in his own thoughts, came back to his senses and said to Yang Feng: "Don't go out and tell others what I said, I trust you to tell you." ”

Yang Feng said: "The minister knows. Then he stepped back.

Yun Xi stayed alone in the room, thinking about this matter: "All the officials involved in Sanwei must be dealt with, and after the Ziyang County Order finds out the situation, it seems that it is indeed involved in the decision. ’

'Tomorrow morning, when the car arrives, he will go to arrest the generals of King Lu Sanwei, and everyone will be placed under house arrest in the Sanwei Yamen for the time being, and those who are not involved in this matter will be released after a detailed investigation. ’

Regardless of whether the officials of the Yanzhou Mansion were involved in this matter or not, it will be known when the officials of King Lu Sanwei are caught in the first trial. ’

Yun Xi had made up his mind and ordered Wang Xi to come in and serve and rest.

============================================================

Late at night, in an inconspicuous house in Yanzhou City, two people were sitting facing each other. The two men were not lit, so they could not see each other's faces clearly, but they did not care.

One of them spoke the official language of the capital and said to the other: "Today, the leading officer of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, Pushan, the younger brother of Xiliang and Puyu, has arrived at the Sanwei Yamen of King Lu, but has anyone come to Yanzhou Mansion?" ”

Another person spoke with a mountain selenium accent and replied: "Well, today there is also a leading official of His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun who came to Yanzhou Mansion, and it is Qi Tai, the left concubine of the East Palace. ”

The person who spoke the official language first said: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun came down too quickly, he arrived at Xuzhou Mansion on the 25th, and he will arrive at Yanzhou Mansion on the 30th tomorrow." It was only on the 26th that I was told by the entourage of the Hou Ye, who came from Xuzhou overnight, that His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson was about to arrive in Yanzhou. ”

"On the 27th, I asked people to tell He Lao Er to restrain for some time, but on the 28th, he went out to urge the people. Yesterday I had him reprimanded, and today no one went out to urge the people. ”

The person with a mountain selenium accent said: "In my opinion, I am afraid that the leading officials of His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun, Pu Shan and Qi Tai, may not be the Yanzhou capital city that they only arrived today. If they had arrived in Yanzhou Capital City yesterday, then I am afraid that this time it would be a bad thing. ”

The official speaker said, "At the beginning, I thought about what happened if I was discovered. So I was prepared. Even if this incident is found out by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, I will not be caught. ”

"And you are cunning enough, only contact me, although Zhu Wan and Zhang Qin know, but there is no evidence. Besides, even if they have evidence, they will never dare to confess to you unless I am found out. ”

"Hehe," the man with a mountain selenium accent chuckled lightly and said: "I have seen a lot of officials who have been stripped of their skin and grass over the years, although we can get a lot of money in the name of His Royal Highness King Lu, but once it is discovered, it will be the end of raiding the house, how dare I be careless!" ”

The official speaker said, "Be careful." I don't have anything else to do, so I'll be here today. ”

After a thin whisper, the room fell silent.

============================================================

The next morning, Yun Xi got up and led everyone to the south of Yanzhou City to wait for the car to arrive. Because someone had been sent to tell them to come over sooner the day before, the group of people driving the car got up before dawn to travel. Yun Xi came to the south of Yanzhou City, fifteen miles away from Yanzhou City, and didn't wait long for the brigade to drive.

Lan Zhen, who presided over the chariot, came up to salute Yun Xi, and Yun Xi returned the salute and then walked into his royal carriage. The little eunuch who stayed in the car stepped forward to change his clothes for Yun Xi, and Wang Xi hurriedly came up to command.

Zhu Xi, the king of the valley, got down from his car and walked into Yun Xi's carriage, and when he saw that there were only eunuchs on the left and right, he smiled and said, "Yun Xi can have fun in Yanzhou these two days?" I've heard a few brothers talk about the north, which is very different from the capital. ”

Yun Xi replied: "If there is no rat moth country, you can have a good time." ”

Zhu Lu asked, "Are there corrupt officials in Yanzhou?" ”

Yun Xi replied: "It's not just that there are corrupt officials! These first offenders should be punished with a thousand cuts. ”

At this time, Yun Xi's clothes had already been changed, Yun Xi sat down, and said to Zhu Xi: "Uncle Nineteen sit down and listen to me talk to you slowly." Zhu Lu also sat aside.

The accompanying guards were all in place, and Qi Tai and other subordinate officials of the East Palace also arrived at their positions; Yun Xi doesn't like to blow and blow all the way, and he didn't bring such people, otherwise there would be those people.

Then the car drove again, and Yun Xi was talking to Zhu Lu about Yanzhou in the car.

After hearing Yun Xi finish speaking, Zhu Xi was shocked: "The officials of King Lu Sanwei are so bold! Be sure to deal with them again. Yun Xi replied, "Of course. ”

As he was talking, the car had arrived at the south gate of Yanzhou City.

Lin Jun, the prefect of Yanzhou, Qiao Yi, the governor of Ziyang, Zou Ji, the commander of Lu Wang Sanwei and other officials greeted him at the south gate. Seeing the car coming, because Yun Xi's name of patrolling in the north was "patrolling the north on behalf of the sky", these officials all knelt on the ground.

Because of the large number of people, it took a while to finish the salute. Yun Xi continued to ride into Yanzhou Mansion in the car.

After a while, I arrived at the yamen of King Lu Sanwei. Yun Xi got out of the car, saw that it was here, and asked, "How did you come here, why don't you go to Yanzhou Mansion?" ”

Lin Jun, the prefect of Yanzhou, said: "Your Highness, the largest yamen in Yanzhou City is King Lu Sanwei, who has come here. ”

Yun Xi thought that it would be the same everywhere, so he nodded and went in without speaking.

Entering the hall, he sat down in the middle of the room, and Yun Xi sat in the middle of the seat. Looking at the carving on the chair, it should be the position of King Lu when he was there. (To be continued.) )
