Chapter 418: Rebuilding the National Prison
Raiding the house is a very troublesome, but very happy thing, especially copying Jia Xiuyu's Guogong Mansion, which is even more troublesome, but it makes all the imperial guards who come to raid the house very happy, and the happiness is so happy that it can't even be compared to the New Year.
Li Zhenglong looked at the boxes of jewels that were carried out, and was surprised in his heart, these jewels are too much, even if Jia Xiuyu is a wealthy family, rich for several generations, and may have accumulated so many treasures, it is really too exaggerated, he must be corrupt and bribery!
Li Zhenglong couldn't even say words to comfort Jia Xiuyu at this time, as more and more jewels were searched, he had to look at Yang Ze, if he really registered these jewels and sent them to Empress Dugu to see, then it is estimated that Empress Dugu was angry, and she had to reconvict Jia Xiuyu.
Tan Zhengwen watched from the side and whispered: "Master, there are too many things copied out, what about the little prince, I may want you to think of a way for him, otherwise I won't be able to keep General Jia!" ”
Yang Ze snorted and said, "Fortunately, I didn't copy our house, otherwise I would have copied more!" ”
He got a large amount of gold from Balluhun, brought it back to the capital, and used it to bribe ministers from all walks of life, and now he has not started to bribe, if he goes to copy his residence in Wannian County at this time, then Li Zhenglong has to faint, and he has to think that Yang Ze is the first corrupt official in the Dafang Empire.
Yang Ze walked to Li Zhenglong's side and said, "Little prince, I'm afraid these jewels are a bit too much, but the emperor has a decree to let us clear the Jia family's property, if we don't report it secretly, I'm afraid it's also inappropriate!" ”
Li Zhenglong had a thought, it was better for everyone to get rich, and let the imperial guards divide these jewels, several large boxes, it is estimated that it should be possible to block other people's mouths. But when Yang Ze said this, he hurriedly said: "Then, what should I do?" This Jia Xiuyu must be saved......"
He didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, if he couldn't keep it, I'm afraid it would be very troublesome, and he couldn't guarantee that Jia Xiuyu wouldn't bite people before he lost his head!
Yang Ze said: "This is easy, let's just say that Jia Xiuyu knew that his son was unproductive, so he began to sell his land and property in other places, wanting to seek a civil official for his son." I want to go through the relationship to buy the examiner, let his son participate in the imperial examination, and pass the Jinshi examination, so there are a lot of jewels in the family, so ask the emperor, can these jewels be used to repair the country's eunuch? ”
Li Zhenglong didn't understand Yang Ze's words a little, Mo said that Jia Xiuyu's son is not promising, whether he is qualified to be a civil official, even if he is promising. can sell the property, this is also to use the paper contract, you can find out with a check, if the Dugu Empress has to check. Wouldn't that be bad, it was easy to find out that they were lying, if it was for Jia Xiuyu to let them be condemned by Empress Dugu, it would not be worth it!
But it's only a moment if you don't understand. Immediately, Li Zhenglong understood the meaning of Yang Ze's words, and then he was overjoyed, if he just sent the account book of the copyist. Even if Empress Dugu is not in the mood to take care of it, the civil officials in the court will be furious, and Jia Xiuyu must be pursued, but if these jewels are used to repair the country's eunuchs, then there will be no ministers to pursue them, the civil officials are very grouped, and they are very concerned about repairing the country's eunuchs and bringing their juniors, in fact, Yang Ze's idea can not only save Jia Xiuyu from being traced, but also curry favor with a group of civil officials, which is really a matter of killing two birds with one stone!
Li Zhenglong's face showed joy, and said: "This idea is really wonderful, Brother Yang, it is really something that only you can think of, if you change me, you will not think of Guozijian if you say anything." ”
He immediately called Jia Xiuyu over and said, "General Jia...... Well, Brother Jia, that's the case, these jewels ...... "He no longer intends to call Jia Xiuyu a general."
Jia Xiuyu didn't have any thoughts at this time, as long as he could save his life, he hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please also ask the prince to cover up for the villain, otherwise the emperor will ......"
He doesn't plan to call himself the last general anymore, seeing so many jewels being copied from his family, he just wants to cover it up, even if the royal guards who are raided are divided, it is better than going to the account!
Li Zhenglong said: "These things must be accounted for, there are many people here, and it is almost impossible to cover them up!" After a pause, seeing that Jia Xiuyu's expression was about to cry, he said again: "But this king has thought of a way for you, not only to keep the ministers in the court silent, but also to form a good relationship for you, maybe you can be taken care of by the ministers in the future......."
He said Yang Ze's idea, Jia Xiuyu sighed, he never thought about it to Guozijian, but what is Guozijian, how can he not know the reason, it is the reserve base of civil officials, and a considerable part of the students who come out of Guozijian will become civil officials in the future, although they are not as good as civil officials from Jinshi, they can't stand up to many people, this is a force that cannot be ignored!
Jia Xiuyu nodded again and again, and thanked Li Zhenglong greatly, although he knew that this favor was to be counted on Li Zhenglong's head, even if those civil officials wanted to thank him, they would only thank Li Zhenglong, but they would no longer embarrass him, but it was also a fact, at this moment, what else could he ask for, it could only be like this!
Li Zhenglong was satisfied, he felt that Yang Ze was too considerate of him, he was really an excellent strategist, and he was even thinking about whether he could pull Yang Ze into his camp and prevent Yang Ze from working for Li Yan anymore!
Li Zhenglong couldn't wait, he asked his subordinates to preliminarily build an account book, and he was about to enter the palace with it, but Yang Ze stopped him and asked him to go to Zhongshu Province first, study it with the prime ministers, and see what the prime ministers mean.
This can be regarded as selling favors to the extreme, Li Zhenglong thought so, and immediately took the account book to meet the prime ministers, there are several prime ministers in Zhongshu Province, he wants to meet one by one, talk one by one, let several bigwigs in the court praise him one by one, he believes that through this matter, he will soon get a new group of followers, and his power will rise sharply, and he will not be weaker than the eldest princess.
When Li Zhenglong left happily, Tan Zhengwen said: "Master, why do you want to cheapen him, such a big favor, why don't we do it ourselves, Guozijian, that is a place to reserve talents for the country, I don't know how many officials will come out of there in the future." Wouldn't they all have to accept his favor? ”
Yang Ze snorted and whispered: "Stupid, if the emperor didn't know that he had planned to seize the military power this time, then maybe he wouldn't have any bad thoughts about him, but now that he knows it, he has seized the military power and wants to win over the civil officials, does he still want to have a good son?" The emperor doesn't rub sand in his eyes, and the more popular he becomes. The sooner he gets unlucky, look at it, it won't be long before he has to leave the capital, and he wants to come back at that time, hmph, even if he can come back, I'm afraid it's too late! ”
Tan Zhengwen said curiously: "The emperor already knows about today's matter? ”
"Nonsense, you don't sue me you can't guess. We have someone in the palace, knowingly asking! Yang Ze said with a smile.
Tan Zhengwen also smiled, and then sighed: "If only the eldest prince could return to Beijing earlier, he is not in Beijing." No matter how you lay it out, Master, it will be difficult to see results! ”
"This day will come soon!" Yang Ze didn't supervise the imperial guards to raid the house, this kind of moment. If you block others from getting rich, it will be hated.
The imperial guards are also very good at being people, especially those who manage accounts. Seeing that the overseer was left with only Yang Ze, he took the initiative to come over and ask about the bookkeeping, every time he checked a treasure, the bookkeeper was written on the account book, if Yang Ze took a look at which treasure more, then he immediately crossed the treasure from the account book, quite good at being a person.
Yang Ze was not interested in any treasures, but Tan Zhengwen was very interested, not only picked several pieces by himself, but also picked several pieces for Fu Bingrong and Mu Gen, as well as Caicai, everyone had a share, and no one was disappointed.
Although the night was busy, there was no accident, and the next morning, the house was over, Yang Ze handed over the matter to the imperial guards, and he went to the palace gate to wait, and asked Tan Zhengwen to find a sedan chair, he made up for sleep in the sedan chair, he calculated it, such a good thing, Li Zhenglong would report to the Dugu Empress alone, and he would not call himself at all, so he only needed to be outside the palace and wait for the result.
Last night he went from house to house to visit the prime ministers, and the results were very good, and the prime ministers all agreed with him, using the confiscated property to repair the Guozijian, which is a great thing, at least the students of the Guozijian can live better and eat better, how can they refuse this kind of thing.
At this time, the Guozijian of the Dafang Empire did not fall like the later dynasties, but a very important department, which is the highest institution of learning in the empire, and it cannot be said that every student in it can be an official, but even if it is three out of ten out of ten can become officials, there are hundreds of thousands of students, or even thousands, more than ten years later, this is a huge force, giving them a school, that is, a long-term investment, whether it is Li Zhenglong or the prime ministers, they are willing to sell this favor.
Li Zhenglong really didn't call Yang Ze, he didn't know that Yang Ze was sleeping in the sedan chair, of course he knew that he would pretend not to know, but he took the account book and went to see Empress Dugu.
Things are unusually smooth, Empress Dugu saw Li Zhenglong this time, and after listening to his report, she praised him greatly, and asked him to train well in the future and manage the right Shenwu army.
Li Zhenglong was praised, and walked out of the palace with his whole body fluttering, thinking that he was the general of the Right Shenwu Army for the time being, and this title would soon remove the word "temporary generation".
Palace. Caicai sent Li Zhenglong away, returned to the main hall, and said to Empress Dugu: "Imperial grandmother, my cousin wants to repair the country's eunuch, what kind of place is that?" She found that when Empress Dugu saw Li Zhenglong just now, she was still smiling, but now her face was gloomy.
Empress Dugu suddenly said angrily: "That's a place with the most bastards, the bastards there don't have any real skills except for their mouths, they can only talk about the government and politics indiscriminately, I don't like it there the most, so I have never cultivated the school for so many years, your cousin actually came up with such a method, do you want to win people's hearts, I see that he can't wait, I want to look forward to my death, and the layout is so anxious!" ”
Cai Caiqi said: "In the Guozi Prison, are they all bastards who can only play tricks? That's not the same as Yang Ze! Well, Yang Ze will play tricks, but he's not a bastard! ”
"He's the biggest bastard! Hey, Yang Ze...... It seems that he is really a tricky and bastard, and those bastards in the Guozi Prison seem to add a piece, and it is not as good as him being a bastard! Empress Dugu said thoughtfully. (To be continued......)
