"Is Qin Hao crazy?" Qin Shi frowned.
Who did not know that He Xingjian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, was his person. When the private salt case came out, almost half of the court was dragged into the water. Is Qin Hao not afraid that the civil and military officials would hate him and threaten him. To his throne
—Actually, everyone knew very well that the private salt case involved too much, and it was unlikely that Emperor Tianming would start killing people, it just depends on who he wants to kill.
The calm down Emperor Tianming casually flipped through the ledger in his hand. Hearing Qin Shi's words, he had a flash of inspiration and raised his head to ask, "What has happened to the prince recently?"
"Change? It seems to be the same as usual." Qin Shi thought for a while: "By the way, the news from Long Wei said that Qin Hao has been out of the palace a lot in recent times."
"Do you often go out of the palace?" Emperor Tianming obviously realized something: "Check—"
However, in just three days, the news of the frequent mobilization of the guards of the aristocratic family reached the imperial table of the Emperor of Heaven.
Qin Shi exclaimed, "Could it be that Qin Hao is going to rebel?"
Yes, this can explain why Qin Hao is going to make such a big mess. He wants to divert their attention and fish in troubled waters.
"Father, what should we do now?"
Emperor Tianming was silent for a while, although he had expected this day, but when he remembered the scene when the prince blocked the sword for him, his mood was indescribably complicated.
He originally thought that he was afraid that it would take more effort to make the prince completely give up on him, and then raise the heart of rebellion. But he thought that without his knowledge, the other party had already launched an action.
It can only be said that the prince is more decisive than he imagined.
It's just that he was not a good father in the first place, so naturally he can't hope that the prince will remain ignorant, loyal and filial.
Emperor Tianming retracted his thoughts and calmly analyzed: "If it were me, I would definitely choose to do it at the New Year's banquet."
Because that day the princes and ministers gathered in the Taihe Hall, it was the best time to catch them all.
"Imperial father, the family is powerful, and my son is a little worried." Qin Shi couldn't help saying.
In the original plot, in order to pull the eldest prince Qin Yu off the horse, the family had already lost their troops. Later, Emperor Tianming turned to support the fifth prince and the prince to fight in the arena, and then pointed the daughter of the Xie family to the fifth prince as a side concubine. The power of the aristocratic family was divided into two, and when the prince completely defeated the fifth prince, the aristocratic family no longer had its former glory.
It is precisely because of this that when the prince rebels, the Emperor of Heaven can easily clean him up.
It's different now. The power of the family that has not been weakened again and again is the Emperor of Heaven's destiny.
As if thinking of something, the Emperor of Destiny's eyes fell on the books on the side.
He said in a deep voice, "So at this time, Xungui can't be involved."
He was afraid, afraid of too many variables and losing control.
As for the prince's side, it is not impossible to operate.
After a hearty battle, Meng Zezhi dragged his brother out of the house, and said in a gluttonous tone: "Sooner or later, Gu will die on the body of the editor."
Xie Jianze's eyes were flushed, and his heart was both happy and sad.
There will be no such day.
Xie Jianze tried to suppress the sourness in his heart by diverting his attention: "His Royal Highness, Guan Xingyu, the prefect of the palace, finally let go."
The Dianqian Division is one of the three yamen of the forbidden army, responsible for palace defense, guarding the emperor, and implementing the decrees on rewards and punishments issued by the emperor.
Guan Xing is the eldest son of Jining Hou's direct descendant. He is only in his early thirties this year. He was not qualified enough. It was just because of the Xuchang paddock assassination case that all the officials in charge of guarding the paddock were convicted, or fired, or ransacked, or Exiled, coupled with the fact that his biological mother and Emperor Tianming had a little bit of kinship, he only then triple jumped into the seat of the Sidu Yuhou in front of the palace, holding 20,000 horses in his hand.
If there is him in the palace as an inner responder, the confidence of success will be much greater.
"What does he want?" Meng Zezhi had to cheer up.
Since he decided to rebel, the aristocratic family quickly became active, but in just half a month, nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses were brought in for him.
"The title of the Marquis of Jining." Xie Jianze said.
Guan Xingyu's biological mother died early, and now his stepmother is in charge of Jining Hou's house. His stepmother gave birth to a pair of twin daughters to Jining Hou when he entered the house. Then she saw that Guan Xingyu was not pleasing to the eye in every possible way. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Guan Xingyu suffered a lot when he was a child, and even his reputation was ruined by his stepmother.
Later, Guan Xingyu joined the army. One year, the enemy invaded the border and attacked the town where he was stationed. Although he was lucky enough to escape, he lost contact with the court for a time.
After the news reached his stepmother's ears, his stepmother even instigated the Marquis of Jining to appoint a prince for the son she gave birth, even on the grounds that he had died in battle.
By the time Guan Xingyu came back with his illustrious military exploits, the throne of the prince had already fallen to his younger brother.
Although Emperor Tianming loves talents, but after all, this is the family business of the Jining Houfu, and he is not easy to intervene too much.
So it is not surprising why Guan Xingyu would make such a request.
"Well, I'm alone."
Xie Jianze continued: "And..."
Meng Zezhi lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, then looked at him closely: "It's rare for you to come out, is the editor sure you want to talk to Gu all the time?"
His meaning couldn't be more obvious, Xie Jianze took a short breath, and while his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he stretched out his arms and wrapped his arms around the neck of the person on him.
A month later, the Shaanxi donation and fraud case and the Lianghuai salt merchant case were closed one after another.
The Minister of Punishment of the Ministry of Punishment and the deputy censor Pei Zhongyue, who went to Shaanxi, verified the situation of Shaanxi's political envoy Si Zuocheng's announcement that the political envoy Cheng Yuanzhong ordered the supervisor's grain to be changed to donate silver and falsely sold grain, and then copied it from his home. More than one million taels of silver and a large number of jewelry, jade, silk and satin.
In this case, more than 60 people from the political envoy and below as well as state and county officials were found to have embezzled more than 4 million taels of stolen silver. After the case was concluded, Zuo Cheng announced that the political envoy Cheng Yuanzhong would be executed, the three tribes of Yi, and the rest would be exiled for 3,000 li, and You Cheng announced that the political envoy would kill himself and risk relief to more than 10,000 silver taels. The Servant, He Xingjian, concubine, and the rest are freed from death and distributed.
Compared with the court's vigorous and resolute action against Shaanxi's case of donating prisoners and fraudulent relief, the Lianghuai private salt case was much more gentle and drizzle.
All the illegal salt merchants in Lianghuai and Huaihe River were arrested. From these salt merchants, the Ministry of Household confiscated more than 20 million taels of silver and more than 500,000 taels of gold. There were countless manors, servants, farm products, jewelry, jade, and orphan antiques. Yu Dagan's income from the treasury for two years.
After the case was concluded, the head of the salt merchants, the Fanjiayi three clans, the males of the nine clans were exiled for thousands of miles, the female relatives were filled with the Jiaofang Division, and the rest of the principal offenders were beheaded, and the family members were spared death and sent to distribution.
The salt envoys and more than 200 officials from the major salt farms were transported in the capital. The chief officials were executed.
An official in the DPRK, Zhao Guogong was beheaded for accepting as much as 500,000 taels of bribes from a salt merchant, and his family members were spared from death and distributed.
However, in just half a year, three of the six founders of the country were planted in, and the power of the First Prince's Party in the forbidden army was completely eliminated by the Emperor of Heaven.
The Minister of the Household and the left and right servants were dereliction of duty and accepted huge bribes, following in the footsteps of Cheng Yuanzhong, the political envoy of Shaanxi Zuo Cheng.
The rest of the people, etc., were all downgraded by three levels. At the same time, the Emperor ordered them to return all the bribes they received to the household within half a month, otherwise they would be dealt with severely in accordance with the law.
But how could they have so much cash at the moment, in desperation, they can only mortgage the land and jewelry and jade in their hands.
All of a sudden, pawnshops of all sizes on the street were crowded with pawnbrokers, and the price of gold dropped from the original twelve taels of silver to one tael of gold to ten taels of silver to one tael of gold.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Zezhi got a lot of good stuff, including three in Hot Spring Zhuangzi alone.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the money received by the Ministry of Household was more than half of what was recorded in the account books. Because of this, the Emperor of Heaven was so angry that he did not look good for several days.
Because of the good report, He Xingjian, the left servant of the Ministry of Personnel, not only was not implicated by his concubine, but instead was promoted two levels to become a freshly released minister of the household.
It's just that no one knows how many people secretly want to eat their flesh and sleep their skin.
Throughout December, the sky in the capital was red.
And then, the New Year's Day is here.
