Chapter 126: Sealing the Library
At the last update, in the Ye'an Pavilion of Luoyang Palace, the queen summoned Han Jian alone. Han Jian submitted the memorial and stood quietly aside. The queen held the memorial and read it carefully, and was silent for a long time.
"Dongwang, did you find these... in the account book?" Finally the queen put down the memorial and asked.
"Yes, your majesty." Han Jian said respectfully, "I have checked the account book in detail and found that many records are inconsistent, and many are inconsistent with the actual records. Someone should tamper with it. Although what I copied is just a draft account, it is related to the treasury account after all."
The queen said: "But there is no evidence to prove your inference."
"So I ask Your Majesty to approve me to dispatch troops and enclose the warehouse to check and find out conclusive evidence." Han Jian said firmly.
After hearing the "spreading troops to seal the treasury", the queen was silent for a while and seemed to have doubts in her heart. Finally, the queen looked up at Han Jian, but still did not agree.
Han Jian knew what the empress was worried about. If it was really possible to find evidence of the crime in the kushi, but if it could not be found, it would become a farce. Not only would his reputation as the Eastern King be damaged, but the empress's majesty would also be damaged. It would also expose the imperial court's intentions to the Northern King Party and lose the opportunity.
The queen finally sighed and said, "If there is no evidence, I will not agree to transfer troops to enfeoff the treasury."
"But Your Majesty." Han Jian quickly said Xiang Dao, "I think that now the rebel ministers in the court are in power, and now the borers have eroded into the treasury that is related to the lifeline of our Wei Dynasty. Every year, the court will lose a lot of money and food because of these borers, which will increase and decrease... Your Majesty..."
Speaking of this, Han Jian obviously realized that the empress's expression changed slightly. Although Han Jian was just talking about "borerworms". The empress knew that these borerworms were not only as simple as corruption, but also had to send the treasury money and grain to the enemy, that is, the Northern King. Such "one rises and the other falls", the court simply tolerated it, which would only make the court even short of the most basic silver and money when it was torn apart.
"Then Dong Wang, you... are you sure..." A sly smile suddenly appeared on the queen's face, which made Han Jian a little confused.
"When you go back to Your Majesty, there are not ten percent, and there are eighty or ninety percent. The earlier the time, the less time the rebel ministers have to guard against them. The greater the chance of recovering the losses for the court."
The queen said, "Okay, I will transfer you two thousand elite soldiers from the escort station, and then send 200 palace guards to accompany you. The Tingwei Mansion will cooperate with you in handling the case. Be sure to find out the case. You must not be too hasty. If the matter is wrong, I will punish you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Jian saluted respectfully again.
The queen wrote a handwritten order and gave it to Han Jian and gave it another instruction. Judging from the queen's instructions, Han Jian could also feel the queen's trust. If such a big thing is left to him, a fledgling boy, the queen will take a lot of risks. But Han Jian's view is that his youthfulness and enthusiasm will not affect the empress's entrusted important tasks to him.
"Dongwang, everything should not be forced. If this case cannot be found out, stop as soon as possible." The queen finally reminded.
"Yes, your Majesty."
Han Jian put his handwriting in his arms. At this time, the eunuch Lu Shaokun also came in under the order of the queen and took the military talisman. He asked Lu Shaokun to help Han Jian mobilize troops. In the Wei Dynasty, except for the personal soldiers of the four kings, eunuchs must be "supervising the army" for the rest of the troops. This time Lu Shaokun was like being a military supervisor for Han Jian. Han Jian could also feel the intention of the queen sending Lu Shaokun to supervise next to him, and also reported the progress to the queen at any time.
After leaving Ye'an Pavilion, Yang Xi was already excited to welcome him. Although he had returned to the palace earlier, he knew that there was action tonight. He also heard that Han Jian had entered the palace and had been waiting outside.
"This time I am obeying your orders." After leaving Ye'an Pavilion, Lu Shaokun said with a kind smile to Han Jian, "What is your order? Just send me to do it."
"Eunuch Xie Lu, I have Lao Eunuch Lu go to the escort to dispatch troops." Han Jian said with a tribute.
"I don't dare to be it, I don't dare to be it. Let's go now." Lu Shaokun took the military talisman and took the palace guards to the escort to the escort.
When Lu Shaokun left, Yang Xi hurried forward and asked, "Brother Han, what's going on? What's next?"
"Let's go to the warehouse together. The next step is to seal the warehouse." Han Jian has already taken steps, and he wants to take action before Ma Jining and others take action.
Yang Xi said anxiously: "But we haven't dispatched troops yet. Just go like this?"
"Your Majesty sent me two hundred guards to accompany me. This is enough. The two thousand guards are bluffing at most. Now it is time. When the people in the Cushi Department notice it, do you think we will have a chance?"
Yang Xi suddenly said, "What I mean is that time is tight and they cannot be allowed to destroy the evidence of crime."
Han Jian and Yang Xi arrived in front of the palace gate. The palace guards had already received the Queen's order and prepared two hundred guards to go out of the palace with Han Jian. Han Jian left the palace gate, and Sima Yao and the guards of the East Prince's Mansion were waiting.
"First go to the warehouse of the warehouse, your Majesty will entrust the warehouse to check. If there are any disobediences, all military law will be dealt with!" Han Jian shouted.
Han Jian got on the horse and set off in a mighty manner. This time he was on the Luoyang City Horse Road, trying to arrive before the Kusi Daku as soon as possible.
The group arrived at the warehouse department. Before the second update was reached, although most of the office staff of the warehouse department had already returned home, many people were still keeping accounts and reconciliation. The summer grain was in the warehouse, and the entire warehouse was brightly lit inside and outside, and a lot of money and grain needed to be stored overnight.
Han Jian led the guards to come, destroying a peaceful and quiet atmosphere inside and outside the Great Deposit. When Han Jian came, he asked the guards to guard the gate of the Great Deposit without saying a word and sent some guards to drive the people who were loading and unloading money and grain out of the warehouse. There were guards waiting inside and outside the Great Deposit, but when they saw that the people came were all palace guards, no one dared to come forward to stop them.
Outside the warehouse, Han Jian saw an acquaintance, but Han Jian came to collect the accounts the day before yesterday, and the book office, which was the book office, which was in charge of the command and dispatch outside. When he saw Han Jian, he quickly bowed and greeted him.
"What's the name?" Han Jian asked with a smile.
"The lower official's surname is Li, his name is Zhonghan, and he is the second leader of the Kusi." The man said with a polite manner.
Han Jian smiled and didn't say anything to Li Zhonghan. At this time, Yang Qi hurriedly ran from the yamen when he heard the news. At this time, the gate of Daku had been closed, and the outside of Daku was full of Han Jian's men.
"Your Highness Dongwang, what do you mean?" Yang Qi was slightly surprised when he saw that it was Han Jian. How could Dongwang lead his troops to Daku overnight?
"I am following the order and I hope Yang Siling can cooperate." Han Jian's smile was He Shan, which made Yang Qi even more frightened.
Yang Qi asked, "I wonder what your highness is doing...?"
"Of course it is to supervise the entry of summer grain into the warehouse, otherwise what else can it be? Yang Siling, you are also a noble person who forgets things too much. We are each other."
When Yang Siling saw this situation, he was not going to supervise the entry of summer grain into the warehouse. How could he use the transfer of troops to seal the warehouse?
Yang Qi was about to send someone to notify his superiors, but the head of the Ministry of the Cushi Department Ma Jining, but Han Jian shouted: "Come here, please ask Yang Siling and his colleagues from the Cushi Department to go to Tingwei's Mansion to have a cup of tea. Let's have a chat while drinking tea."
When Yang Qi heard that he was going to Tingwei Mansion, he almost understood what was going on. This was the incident. This was the thing he had been most worried about for a long time, so Han Jian said very little, and he suddenly understood.
"Your Highness...no need." Yang Qi said panic, "If you want to drink tea, you will drink it again when he is here. The lower officials will be the host. Some family affairs need to be dealt with..."
Han Jian smiled and said like a smile on his face: "I'm afraid that Yang Siling will be in charge of this matter. This is Your Majesty's order, and I can't help either. Come and ask Yang Siling!"
Since Yang Qi was not aware of the situation, the guards were no longer polite and went up to take him out. At this time, Yang Qi was no longer as kind as before. Instead, he shouted: "The kushi is the place where our dynasty regulates the kushi grain. Even if you are the King of the East, you have no right to enclose the kushi!"
"I'm talking too much, block my mouth." Han Jian smiled coldly, and then Yang Qi was blocked and could only make a "whimper" sound.
At this time, Lu Shaokun hurriedly brought the troops from the guard station to the Daku. When he arrived, he saw Han Jian taking down the officials of the Treasury Department. Lu Shaokun was also really shocked.
Because Han Jian was ordered to seal the kuoku case, but Han Jian had just sealed the kuoku, but he didn't even investigate and wanted to take the person, and the action was obviously too big. But the Queen had indeed told him before that everything would do as the King of the East. Even if he felt that this was inappropriate, he would not dare to criticize him.
"Your Highness, I've brought the soldiers." Lu Shaokun came to Han Jian and looked at Yang Qi who was struggling with embarrassment.
"When Eunuch Lu is here, I will ask Eunuch Lu to go to several other warehouses in Luoyang in the warehouse of the warehouse. By the way, all the officials from the warehouse will be brought together for the trial of this king." Han Jian said with a smile.
"Interrogation?" Lu Shaokun was startled and then asked tentatively, "Your Highness... are there some..."
"Eunuch Lu said I was too hurrying? No hurry. Thinking about these people, they have been borers for so many years. If they don't hurry, a big tree will be almost borered by them. Eunuch Lu must not underestimate these borers. The reason why a thousand-mile dike is destroyed by an ant hole has been heard of?"
Having said this, Lu Shaokun stopped talking. The most he could do was to feed the news back to the queen. He even thought in his heart, was it right or wrong for His Majesty to send the errand to the East King? The East King was indeed in a hurry, but if nothing was found out, it would go against his wishes and would not end.
But when Lu Shaokun looked at Han Jian's face, he looked completely confident.
Lu Shaokun sighed in his heart: "It's really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger." Although Lu Shaokun admired Han Jian's reasoning and analysis when handling a fraud case, he was still not optimistic about Han Jian's actions this time, thinking that Han Jian was too impatient.
Immediately, Han Jian acted decisively and directly ordered all the superiors and subordinates of the Treasury to be detained to the Tingwei Mansion and detained separately for trial.
While Lu Shaokun ordered the generals of the escort to go to the various treasury departments to investigate the treasury, he looked for an opportunity to go to the palace to report to the empress. There was still room for improvement in this matter, but when Han Jian directly blocked the treasury and made trouble, many things were forced to death.
After the Queen's anxious description in Ye'an Pavilion outside the hall, Lu Shaokun's worry in her heart eased.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Eastern King now has no evidence of his crime. I'm afraid... I'm afraid..." Lu Shaokun looked anxious and didn't know how to describe it. He could imagine the consequences, which would inevitably cause chaos in the court.
