Chapter 390: Killer Feature
Today's court meeting was carried out in a hurry, after all, it was not a regular court meeting, everything was rushed, and the most important thing was the people in these court meetings.
Long is not grand, I don't care what the surface is, the most important thing is the people's hearts, now everyone is in a hurry to discuss things, anxious to divide the winner and loser, who has the leisure time to make this set of false?
It can be seen that there are always exceptions to everything, at least on both sides of this storm, as well as those who are accidentally implicated, or who want to come in and get a piece of the pie, it is better to enter the main topic.
Emperor Jiajing has sat down, wearing a crown of beads, showing his martial arts and wisdom, I have to say that Jiajing is indeed becoming more and more powerful, if he is given a tiger body, even if he is not vibrating, I don't know how many people will kneel under his feet and cry bitterly to recognize a boss.
Before Jiajing began to adjust his mentality, Mao Ji, who was impatient, jumped out, he smiled coldly, walked to the hall step by step, and said the reason clearly, of course, Mao Ji has always added fuel and vinegar to his words, after all, he is an official oil, very good at grasping the key points, on the basis, he is talking about two things, the first thing: Xu Qian and his son are greedy. The second case: Xu Qian kidnapped the imperial court officials. As for the other bastards who prostitute themselves everywhere, the narration such as forcible robbery is just embellishment.
Obviously, stepping on people must have art, you can't just say that a person is extremely bad, you have to foreshadow first, for example, a person, you only say that he killed a few people, then it will definitely not work. You have to tell everyone first, this guy peeked at his sister taking a bath at the age of three, jumped up and down the street at the age of four, and was already full of evil at the age of five, notorious and so on, and then it was more convincing to say that this person killed someone.
Mao Ji frothed at the mouth, and the effect was remarkable, in the end. He couldn't help but be proud, today was really extraordinary, and he actually had a bit of the eloquent Xie Qian's demeanor, but when he thought that Xie Qian was actually a teacher surnamed Xu, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, shouting bad luck.
"Your Majesty, now that the facts are there, Wei Chen dares to ask, where did the 170,000 taels of silver from this road political bureau go? 170,000 taels of silver. Hubei Province also does not have such a tax, why did the Xu family father and son take away 170,000 yuan between them? If you don't make it clear, what else can you talk about purging the officials? ”
The figure of 170,000 was really terrifying, and the Manchu warriors immediately whispered about it, the huge greed of tens of thousands of taels of silver. They have seen it, but 170,000, I am afraid it will exceed Liu Jin's level.
Jiajing's response was very bland, and said: "I know this money, and it was spent for the Royal Academy. ”
Mao Ji sneered, thinking to himself, "Where is it for the school?" Eighty percent was spent privately by His Majesty. I just don't know where the flowers went. It's just that you're doing it so secretively, there must be something unseemly. Naturally, he didn't see the rabbit or the eagle, and said, "Your Majesty, 170,000 is not a decimal number." The preparation of the Royal Academy has made the cost of 100,000 taels of silver, and only these 170,000 taels of silver have no named purpose, and Weichen is in charge of the household department, so I really can't imagine where a school needs to spend 170,000 taels. Forgive Weichen for being stupid, and please explain the purpose of the majesty. ”
Jiajing's face showed displeasure. Said: "Flowers are flowers, haven't I made my words clear?" ”
At this time, there was no need for Mao Ji to come out to speak, and immediately a spokesman stood up and said: "Why should you be angry with Master Mao, if it is really spent, then there must be a reason, this is not a hundred taels, a thousand taels, but a hundred thousand taels, Your Majesty, don't forget the lessons of the Zhengde Dynasty." ”
Ti Zhengde is like revealing a scar, every three or five to come once, it is really disgusting, but Jiajing is angry but he can't be angry, this person is a speech official, if he is angry, he must be powerful, and if he wants to establish authority, he must kill this person, but once he wants to do it, he must make a lot of trouble, and he will be innocent, this is the rule, but also the bottom line, once the bottom line is touched, not to mention the chaos in the world, this Jingshi must be in chaos.
Jiajing desperately suppressed his anger and simply snorted coldly.
Xu Qian saw that something was going to happen if he didn't come out again, in fact, before he came, he had made a good draft, so he was in a very calm and relaxed mood, and stepped out of the class and said: "This is wrong, the silver of the Road Administration Bureau is handed over to the inner treasury, and it is not owned by the treasury, could it be that you need to ask what kind of money will be spent in this palace?" In this way, Your Majesty has to ask you about everything, and in the future, it is better to simply let you rule the world, wouldn't it be more convenient? ”
These words are very rebellious, but from Jiajing's standpoint, they say what Jiajing thinks.
Xu Qian's moment is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest, asking about the financial problems in the palace, this is common sense, it is the truth, you dare to shake it even if you are a little attendant?
Immediately, a few more officials jumped out and said nonchalantly: "What is this reading Xu Shi, do you have to follow Liu Jin's example?" Only when Liu Jin was there, the foreign ministers were not allowed to inquire about the income and expenditure of the inner treasury. ”
"Yes, the Son of Heaven is the country, the country is the Son of Heaven, there is no distinction between each other, the inner treasury is also the treasury, and the treasury also has to pay for the needs of the palace, Xu Qian, your intentions are too vicious, do you want to separate each other? The Son of Heaven is gone, and the Son of Heaven is gone, this is the ruin of the country and the death of the family, you are so bold. ”
Xu Qian couldn't help but speak, Yanguan's combat effectiveness is still very strong, after all, he is a professional and should not be underestimated.
Mao Ji laughed and said: "Xu Qian, so far, you still have to explain obediently, don't explain, this road political situation is plain and there is no silver, that is, your Xu family father and son are greedy for ink, and now His Majesty is purging the officials, according to the law, both of you father and son need to be dismissed from their posts and never be used." You think about it yourself, you can't think clearly, the old man, as a cabinet bachelor, has to deal with you. ”
Xu Qian frowned and said, "Lord Mao really wants to know?" ”
Mao Ji sneered in his heart, where do you dare to say it? Just looking at the meaning of His Majesty, it is clear that this silver was taken and spent by His Majesty, and this silver is spent unclearly, it is definitely not a good thing, this matter must not be publicized, do you Xu Qian still dare to expose the Son of Heaven? It's better to obediently carry this black cauldron and confess guilt and obey the law.
Xu Qian sighed and said, "This is a secret of the Royal Academy, once it is publicized, it will be very bad. ”
Mao Ji said awe-inspiringly: "What secret? This is Chongdian, and the people here are also the pillars of the imperial court, and they are the ministers of His Majesty, what else do you need to hide? Could the Son of Heaven not even trust the ministers? It's clear that you want to sow discord between the monarch and the minister, and you have other plans. ”
Xu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Since you want to know, then I might as well tell you that this silver is in Tianjin." ”
"Tianjin?" Mao Ji raised his eyebrows.
Xu Qian said: "Yes, it's in Tianjin." ”
Mao Ji cheered up, although he never expected Xu Qian to tell the truth, he still asked: "Where is Tianjin?" Where did the money go? ”
Xu Qian said: "There is a workshop set up in Tianjin Weijin Yiwei Thousand Households. ”
"Workshop?" Mao Ji sneered: "Setting up a workshop is also worth 170,000 taels of silver, do you think this is a Suzhou-Hangzhou Bureau?" ”
Xu Qian nodded and said: "My lord is really right, it is indeed a bureau of creation, the 170,000 taels of silver are divided into three batches, and the first one has invested 23,000 taels of silver, which is used to prepare for the bureau, specially used to forge swords and firearms, for the needs of the pro-army." This is something that Xia Guan and His Majesty have discussed a long time ago, but because it involves secrets, it has been kept secret, and after all, this is a pro-military matter, so I don't need to inform you if I think about it. ”
Mao Ji was stunned for a moment, although 170,000 taels of silver went to prepare for a bureau, there were obviously a lot of strange things in it, but no matter what, at least the sins of the Xu family's father and son were cleared, and they did not get rid of the money.
Of course, Mao Ji can have a hundred reasons to criticize this so-called pretentious bureau, but at most, you can say that the Xu family father and son are wasting their money, and the word greedy ink is still not touched after all.
If it's just a waste, it's obviously not a big crime, you say that you broke the sky, at most, you ask the emperor to issue an edict to apply for it.
Mao Ji couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, he didn't expect that what he got in the end was this result, but he was still a little unwilling, and couldn't help but say: "Hmph, is there really such a pretentious situation?" But the old man didn't believe it! ”
Xu Qian said very sincerely: "If you don't believe it, you can inform Tianjin Bingbei Road to investigate, but in order to act secretly, this pretentious bureau is playing the signboard of a certain commercial house." ”
Mao Ji was dumbfounded, at this time he couldn't help but believe it, just hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to build a bureau, this is simply a shameful waste, although he wanted to scold, but at this time he suddenly realized that scolding is useless, scolding is the business of the officials, you can criticize at any time, today is the most critical time, it is about the results of your efforts in the past ten days, how can you waste this limited energy on a futile problem?
Thinking of this, Mao Ji cheered up, if Xu Qian went to the Ministry of Officials to explain this reason obediently, this matter may only come to an end, but Xu Qian should not have done anything to Wang Kang, Wang Kang is an official of the imperial court, and he is the head of the Ministry of Officials, since the matter of the Road Administration Bureau has no handle for the time being, Mao Ji still has a killer weapon, and Wang Kang's matter is by no means a trivial matter, detaining the official of the imperial court, even if you have any reason, it is also a crime of death, as long as you grasp this point, you can still clean up the kid surnamed Xu.
It's just that Mao Ji can't figure it out, Xu Qian, this kid, is obviously fearless, and he can go to the ministry to explain things clearly, but why do you have to detain people? Could it be that this kid was born to fear that the world will not be chaotic and does not know whether he is alive or dead?
No, no, something must have gone wrong, could it be...... What's this guy's plan?
It's just that at this time, the arrow has to be sent on the string, even if Mao Ji wants to calm down and ponder, he has no time, and when things come to this point, he can only continue to work hard.
