The king of Jin mentioned the country, the country, the government is paralyzed, and the country will not be a country, which is indeed a sufficient and sufficient reason.
Hearing this, the emperor said angrily, "Uncle Wang, tell me, for the sake of the country, the country, and the peace and stability of our Southern Qi, if I don't want to be such a bloodthirsty king today, will I just allow them to bend the law for personal gain and deceive the king and the country?" How about a decade? Countless people follow their example, and our Southern Qi will be able to live in peace for a long time?"
King Jin said, "Your Majesty, what I mean by this old minister is that we can't kill them all, kill... it is enough to make an example."
"Kill one to warn the hundred?" the emperor said angrily, "Which one to kill? Is it the minister of the Ministry of Industry? Just let it go? Not punished?"
King Jin choked, "Okay... other punishments..."
"You said, what punishment?" The emperor looked at King Jin.
King Jin seemed to be unable to speak for a while, and glanced at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and saw that everyone was looking at him, but Ye Chang was not looking at him, but flipping through the file leisurely, he immediately shouted, "Ye Chang!"
Ye Chang didn't raise his head, and said lazily, "Why is King Jin calling me?"
The King of Jin stared and said, "The emperor asked you to clean up the household department. That's how you clean up? When a major case was uncovered, more than twenty people were beheaded by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. Is this what you asked for in your memorial? More than twenty important officials in the court, Kill them all, according to the records of the future history, the emperor will inevitably leave behind the reputation of a tyrannical king, and the court and society will also be in turmoil. Are you acting like a normal person?"
Ye Chang turned around slowly, looked at King Jin, and raised his eyebrows, "Then what do you mean, I shouldn't find out about these dirty and filthy corruptions behind the scenes? Let the raised eyebrows continue to be greedy for ink? Keep the treasury greedy for nothing." ? Drag down the country? Is that right?"
King Jin was choked again immediately, and said angrily, "That's not what I mean! Don't misinterpret what I mean."
Ye Chang looked at him and said, "Then please explain clearly, I don't understand what you mean by calling me?"
King Jin blew his beard and stared, and said angrily, "What I mean is that these people can't be killed, but they can't be punished either. What can you do? You can punish them and wake up the world."
Ye Chang nodded, smiled, and said, "So that's what you meant! You came to beg for mercy, the emperor asked you, but you blamed me, lord, you are so kind to me!"
King Jin's face froze.
Ye Chang didn't seem to see his slightly stiff face, and said with a smile, "It can't be killed, and it can't be punished, so it's not easy?" After saying that, he shook the file in his hand and said, "All the people involved in the case above People who are greedy for ink will make up for it. Those who are greedy for more ink will be compensated for more. Those who are greedy for less ink will be compensated for less. Return all the money that is corrupted by ink to the treasury. Not only to kill, but also to kill the nine clans."
King Jin was taken aback.
The civil and military officials were startled.
Ye Chang turned around, looked at the emperor, and asked with a slight smile, "Your majesty, what do you think of this method? You really can't kill all those people outside. Now I am in charge of the household department and I am short of money. Killed, who do I ask for money?"
After hearing the words, the emperor calmed down his anger, glanced at Manchu Wenwu, and asked, "My dear friends, what do you think of Ye Shizi's proposal?"
Prime Minister Sun and University Fellow Wang glanced at each other, and they all came out together, "The old minister thought what Ye Shizi said was true! The court is employing people, and the treasury is empty. These people cannot be killed! Returning the money corrupted by ink can make up for the crime. "
Xu Yunchu also came out, "I echo what Ye Shizi said!"
The Minister of the Household Department hurriedly came out, "The minister also seconded the proposal!"
The Minister of the Ministry of War also came out, "The minister also seconded!"
"The ministers also seconded!"
The emperor nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Okay, pass on my order and let me release those people first! Whether it is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry or the King of Pingjun, all those involved in the case will be based on the evidence in the files checked by Ye Shizi. How much silver taels will be paid back. The limit is half a month. Those who fail to pay will be punished by the Nine Clans!"
As soon as the imperial decree came out, the officials shouted, "Your Majesty is wise! Long live my emperor!"
More than 20 courtiers, including Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Prince Ping, were dragged back from the Meridian Gate, all with pale faces, thanking each other in shock.
Zao Chao broke up under such thrilling stimulation.
After the morning court was over, the emperor called Ye Chang away to the imperial study.
All civil and military officials thought that since Ye Shizi entered the court, he has done three major things until now. One thing is to break the Yue Guifei case, one thing is to negotiate peace with Bei Zhou, and the other thing is to supervise and manage the household department on behalf of the emperor.
He did all three of these important things beautifully and simply.
Breaking the case of the noble concubine Yue, he acted vigorously and decisively, negotiated peace with Bei Zhou, and ambushed soldiers and horses, which made Bei Zhou's eldest princess and the prime minister lose face and morale, and won a complete victory. Now the acting emperor is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Just a few days after taking office, he silently and without any warning made a statement in front of the court, which almost caused more than 20 loyal officials in the hall to be pushed to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.
If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster!
Prime Minister Sun stepped forward, bowed his hands to the King of Jin, and said, "Ye Shizi informed the prince earlier, didn't you? You and Ye Shizi sang together and saved more than 20 important officials in the court. This is a good performance. Your Majesty For your face, don’t kill so many important ministers, Ye Shizi took the opportunity to propose to make up for the corrupt ink, and exchange life with silver taels, so that the treasury will be abundant and the government will be stable. Good strategy!”
King Jin's complexion changed, and he cupped his hands and said, "The prime minister praised me! I'm old, and I was used as a gun by that brat Ye Chang."
Prime Minister Sun laughed, "Where is the lord talking? You defend Ye Shizi, everyone knows that the clan is headed by you, and all of them have hearts for Ye Shizi. Ye Shizi respects you and will discuss everything with you. If so, the prince is humbled."
King Jin snorted, "Now that his wings are hardened, he doesn't take me seriously anymore."
Grand Master Wang came over at this moment, and said with a smile, "My lord is wrong. Ye Shizi respects you, and we all can see. This morning, after Ye Shizi presented the memorial, he didn't speak again. He didn't speak until you went to the hall to call him. Following your wishes, I advised you on a compromise strategy. Respect for the prince is incomparable."
King Jin raised his beard and said, "I have never talked to this article, and I have nothing good to say!"
Grand Scholar Wang laughed loudly, "I haven't heard anything good about my lord talking to Ye Shizi."
King Jin suddenly had no words to refute.
In the early morning, Ye Chang's memorial uncovered the two major financial cases of the household department in the past ten years. The emperor was furious and ordered more than 20 high-ranking officials to beheaded outside the Meridian Gate. For a while, the news spread in the capital, causing an uproar.
The mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Mansion of the Prince of Pingjun, and the mansions of more than 20 important ministers were all scared out of their wits.
Qi Shu, the little prince of Pingjun Wangfu, was so frightened that he threw away the scroll he was reviewing in his hand, grabbed the housekeeper in disbelief and asked, "What did you say? My father was pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded?"
The butler turned pale with fright, cried and nodded, and put Ye Chang on the memorial, uncovering three major cases of embezzlement of 15 million taels of silver from the household department in the past ten years. It's over.
After Qi Shu heard this, he sat down on the chair, and said with a pale face, "My father... when did he take money for disaster relief?"
The housekeeper shook his head, "I don't know... Could it be Shizi Ye who made a mistake?"
"Wrong?" Qi Shu raised his voice suddenly, then lowered it suddenly, shaking his head, "Since it was played by Ye Chang, I definitely can't make a mistake."
The housekeeper immediately said, "Little King, you and Ye Shizi have a very close friendship, go and beg Ye Shizi to save the King."
"Rescue?" Qi Shu suddenly thought of the fact that all the families of An Guogong's mansion and Jingyanghou's mansion were ransacked and beheaded. He closed his eyes and shook his head, "If you can save it, you don't need me to speak, Ye Chang will definitely save it. If you can't save it, even if I speak, it will be useless." After finishing speaking, he said, "Why would father be greedy for disaster relief funds? He When did he steal the disaster relief funds? I haven't heard him mention it at all? Could it be that he has been hiding it from me and mother?"
The butler shook his head.
At this time, there was a burst of crying outside, and not long after, Princess Pingjun ran into Qi Shu's yard crying, rushed into the door, grabbed his hand when she saw him, and said, "My son, save your father quickly!" Ah, mother heard that your father was pushed out of the Meridian Gate and was going to be beheaded."
Qi Shu looked at her mother and asked, "Mother, do you know that my father was greedy for disaster relief funds?"
Princess Pingjun said loudly, "How could your father be greedy for ink? He must have been wronged. Son, didn't you make friends with Ye Shizi? Why did he harm our Pingjun Palace like this? Go and ask him why he did so. Is it not enough to kill An Guogong's mansion and Jingyanghou's mansion? Do you want to kill our Pingjun mansion? He's so evil... "
"Mother!" Qi Shu angrily interrupted Princess Pingjun's words, shook off her hand and said, "Ye Chang never wronged anyone! An Guogong's mansion and Jingyanghou's mansion collaborated with Concubine Yuegui to betray the country. How could Ye Chang be blamed for the case investigated by Xu Yunchu and Sun Zeyu, the son of the Prime Minister’s Mansion? What has he to do with it? Now he is investigating the corruption case of the Ministry of Households, and my father is just one of them. If there is no real evidence, how can he convince the courtiers? It must be My dad is really greedy for ink!"
Princess Pingjun was stunned by Qi Shu's angry scolding, looked at him for a long while, and then cried again, "But your father is about to be beheaded, that's your own father, it's Ye Changcha Your father, why are you still facing him? Don’t you just ignore your father? "
Qi Shu bit his lip and said weakly, "Mother, fifteen million taels of silver. My father and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry are the main criminals. It must be a big number. How do you let me manage it? The morning court has not yet come? I don't even have the qualifications to enter the court, how can I save it?"
Princess Pingjun sat down on the chair and burst into tears, "If your father is beheaded, will all of us be beheaded too? You have younger brothers and younger sisters..."
Qi Shu suddenly said, "I'll go to Su Manor to find Miss Su!"
