Chapter 317: Inner Palace Corruption Case (1)
Yun Xi was a little unhappy and asked the Zhongshu people to draft a decree to let Xu Huizu be the governor of the current military capital governor's mansion, although he knew that this was what should be done, but he was also unhappy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
But Yun Xi, as an emperor who has been an emperor for more than half a year and has little qualifications, can only accept this kind of thing. Yes, it's okay for Yun Xi to find a reason to punish Xu Huizu, but it's okay to punish it lightly, but it's impossible to punish it heavily. Then it's better to knock Xu Huizu in private.
In the final analysis, Yun Xi is still too young, and the ancients had a saying that 'if you don't have a hair on your mouth, you can't do things well', and you have to accumulate age and qualifications.
Yun Xi calmed down his mood and continued to read the next book.
Soon, the morning was over. Yun Xi ate a meal at noon and continued to review the excerpts in the afternoon.
But before the middle of the day, Yun Xi was reviewing the excerpts, and suddenly Wang Xi whispered to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, Wang Bu has something to see Your Majesty." ”
Yun Xi didn't care, and said casually: "What's the matter?" Just let him come in and talk to me here, and you don't have to avoid people. ”
But after a few seconds, Yun Xi heard Wang Xi say, "Your Majesty, Wang Bu said that he has something important to see His Majesty." ”
Yun Xi turned his head to look at Wang Xi, and saw that Wang Xi was also a little dazed on his face, probably because Wang Bu insisted on seeing Yun Xi alone, and he didn't understand it very well.
Although Yun Xi was also puzzled, he knew that Wang Bu was not a person who had nothing to do, so he instructed Yang Shiqi beside him, and then turned his head and went to a side hall to meet Wang Bu.
As soon as Yun Xi saw Wang Bu, he felt that Wang Bu's expression was very wrong, and he was very frightened, as if he was afraid that Yun Xi would punish him at any time.
Yun Xi said to Wang Bu, who was kneeling on the ground and saluting, "Get up! What's going on? ”
Wang Bu knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and said to Yun Xi: "Your Majesty, the queen mother has something to see Your Majesty." ”
Yun Xi was even more puzzled, and raised his voice and said, "What the hell is going on?" Xi Yao wants to see me, why are you so nervous and scared! What the hell is going on! ”
Wang Bu immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there is corruption in the Inner Palace. ”
"What?" Yun Xi said immediately. 'There are people who are corrupt under their noses?' ’
"Yes," Wang Bu continued: "Your Majesty, the accounts of the palace in the first month of the first month of the year have been calculated today, and a total of more than 40,000 yuan has been spent in the entire first month, and then the queen mother felt that there must be something wrong with it, so she called the servants and Wang Gong to the Kunning Palace, and then called the eunuchs and young eunuchs of the yamen such as the imperial eunuch and the Shangshan supervisor, and then began to check the accounts and found out some problems. ”
Since Wang Bu said the sentence 'A total of more than 40,000 yuan was spent in the entire New Year', Yun Xi had already entered a state of rage. In previous years, it was not unseen that the accounts of the palace were not unseen, and the maximum cost of the first month of the New Year did not exceed 20,000 yuan, and there were even times when it was only 16,000 yuan.
As a result, he spent so much money in the first year of his yuan change. These people think I don't know the grain! Yun Xi thought.
Wang Bu continued: "The rest of the things, the slaves are not very clear, and then the queen mother sent the servants to call Your Majesty to Qianqing Palace, and ask Your Majesty to set up the Qianqing Palace." ”
Yun Xi stood up, stared at Wang Bu and said, "You tell me the truth, have you ever been greedy for ink?" ”
Yun Xi stared at Wang Bu with burning eyes, if Wang Bu had been corrupt, but now he was still lucky, then he would definitely not bypass him.
Wang Bu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, in the previous November, December and the first month of this year, the servants received a hundred yuan from Su Wen, the eunuch of the Shangshan Prison, and fifty yuan each from the eunuchs of the Salary Saving Division, the Needlework Bureau, and the Internal Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. Other than that, there is nothing else. After saying that, he buckled his head again and again.
Yun Xi sneered: "Your place is quite big, and you can put down so much money." ”
Wang Bu said: "Your Majesty, they are the treasure money given to the minions according to the price of the usual money for six banknotes. and some of the gold was given at the rate of one tael of gold for five cents. ”
Yun Xi sneered again: "They are quite caring, and they know that it is difficult to hide so many copper coins of yours." Wang Bu didn't dare to speak.
Yun Xi stretched out his hand and pointed at him and said, "You, you." The salary I pay you every month is 20 yuan, and even if the money is only 4 stone meters, then it is equivalent to 80 stone meters, which is several times the official salary of the four grades outside. ”
"You are in the inner palace, and the expenses for food and clothing are all spent in the palace, and you don't have any relatives, so there is almost no place to spend money, why do you still have to embezzle money!"
Wang Bu kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, it was the slave ghost who lost his mind, and felt that it was always good to have some money around, and thought that they would not dare to embezzle much, so he accepted the money." ”
Yun Xi roared angrily: "Wang Bu, I always thought you were smart, but I didn't expect you to be smart but mistaken. What kind of money can you really rely on? If you lose my trust and are sent to Fengyang to farm, no matter how much money you have, will you be able to keep a big son! ”
Wang Bu then kowtowed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, it's the slave ghost who is obsessed, and the minion ghost is obsessed." He just admitted his mistake again and again, but he did not beg for mercy or quibble.
Yun Xi is eating this set. For Yun Xi, it is an unforgivable crime to find a reason to quibble after making a mistake, even if he didn't have the intention to punish him heavily, he must be punished heavily, and there are already several officials above the court who were originally exempted from official office for the people's crime, and then they were exiled after quibbling.
As for begging for mercy, Yunxi doesn't like it either. Especially the kind of person who lists his own merits and hard work, Yun Xi thinks that one yard is one yard, and I can reduce it as appropriate because of your previous merits, but you can't take the initiative to ask for it.
Yun Xi saw that Wang Bu admitted his mistake so sincerely, in fact, his heart was already a little soft, after all, Wang Bu had followed him as a personal eunuch since he became the emperor's grandson, and after so many years, he always had some feelings.
Yun Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Are you sure you haven't received any other money?" ”
Wang Bu said: "Your Majesty, there is really only this money. If the minion has received even a copper plate, then the minion will thunder five times a day! ”
Although Yun Xi didn't believe in the words of the gambling curse and swear, he also believed it a little when he saw Wang Bu swearing poison.
Yun Xi thought in his heart: "If Wang Bu only accepts the money he said, then let's go around him once today." However, Yun Xi did not say this at this time.
Yun Xi looked around, and then said to Wang Bu: "You stand up first, go outside and call a little eunuch in." Then Wang Bu stood up and was just about to go out, Yun Xi remembered something, and then said: "Only the little eunuchs Huang Fu and Huang Lu, who just entered the palace in February, are only allowed to be called, and the rest of the eunuchs are not allowed to be called." ”
"And don't say anything but call them in, you know!"
Wang Bu said: "Got it. Then he turned and went out of the main hall to call for someone.
