The profit in the three account books is more than one million, so what about the remaining ones?
Thinking about it this way, Master Zhang's family will soon catch up with the treasury, right?
The two men immediately followed the order and left.
"Master Song, the censor, please leave the full authority to your censor to conduct a thorough investigation of all the officials mentioned in the account books. Once someone is found to have abused his power and oppressed the people, he will be punished severely, no matter who it is!
"
The imperial censor hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and took several account books handed over by the eunuch, saying, "I sincerely follow the imperial eunuch's decree."
"Mr. Dali Temple, Mr. Zhang will be handed over to you and the governor of Jingzhao for trial first. In addition, all officials in the DPRK and China must unconditionally cooperate with the investigation of this case, regardless of official position. Violators will be punished according to the circumstances."
This means that it doesn’t matter whether you are a seventh-rank sesame official or a first-rank official of the current dynasty. As long as the Minister of Dali Temple invites you, you must report to the Yamen obediently and say what needs to be said. If not, you will be punished.
.
Prime Minister Wen twirled his beard and nodded slightly. The same thought came to his mind more than once: The queen was really born into the wrong daughter!
Xuanyuan Hao, who left the Jinluan Palace angrily, started to lose his temper when he returned to the Changsheng Palace. Su Linglong stepped forward to persuade him in a considerate manner, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you? Is there a minister in the morning who was angry with you?"
Xuanyuan Hao: "I wish I were really a minister!"
Su Linglong's eyes suddenly lit up. If she wasn't a minister, wouldn't she be the queen?
"Is it possible that the Queen's sister has made you angry with her words? Oh, my emperor, my sister is just a woman. Even if she is smarter than the average person, she is still limited. Compared with the emperor's talents, she is not worth mentioning. Look at what she does
If you're not good at it, just teach it slowly, but don't make yourself angry because of these little things."
Xuanyuan Hao: Teach slowly? I have no time!
"Huh, the queen is just distracted. She seems to have forgotten that I gave her the rights, and I can take them back at any time!"
Su Linglong smiled so happily, caressing Xuanyuan Hao's chest and praised: "Your Majesty is so domineering, I love you so much!"
…
So Ning Yue returned to Kunning Palace, and Chai Liang came to announce Xuanyuan Hao's oral instructions, "Queen, your Majesty has an edict. The Queen has been working very hard recently, and the Emperor cannot bear it. You are specially allowed to have a good rest in Kunning Palace."
Rest, I will move these memorials back to the Palace of Eternal Life first."
In fact, Xuanyuan Hao's original words were much more unpleasant than these, but in recent times, Chai Liang had been taking advantage of Ning Yue, so he naturally embellished Xuanyuan Hao's words, otherwise he was afraid that the empress would not be able to come to power.
Chai Liang left after passing on the decree. Qin Xin and the others came forward nervously, "Your Majesty, what should we do now? It seems that the emperor is going to be serious this time."
Ning Yue stretched out her hand, turned it over and looked at it twice. For the convenience of writing, her nails were trimmed very neatly, and there was a light pink on the nails. There was no anxiety in her eyebrows, but instead there was a trace of anxiety.
A faint smile said, "Don't worry, don't be in a hurry."
For the sake of Zhen Zhaoyi, Xuanyuan Hao's reputation has long been ruined. Today, the imperial edict for a thorough investigation into the case of selling officials and conferring titles has been issued, and it is impossible for him to take it back.
If a thorough investigation continues, it will be found that several important ministers among his supporters are involved, and the fate of those people will not be good. If her father cooperates with her to guide public opinion outside the palace, Xuanyuan Hao's image in the hearts of the people will be greatly reduced again, and a
The emperor who has lost the support of the people will no longer be able to sit firmly on the chair under his butt.
Originally, Ning Yue had no intention of attacking the officials. She was targeting the household department. However, the letter Mi Zhengtao asked Xue Yin to send back made her change her mind.
After Xuanyuan Hao demoted Mi Zhengtao, he did not dare to suppress him too much. Transferring him from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Personnel was regarded as an important department with authority.
For two years, Mi Zhengtao suffered a lot of ostracism in the official department, but he also took this opportunity to find out a lot of things, such as the fact that the official officials were colluding to sell official positions at a clear price.
He was secretly collecting evidence, thinking that one day he would expose the matter. Unexpectedly, because of Su Linglong, he and the Guo family suffered unreasonable disasters, and the Mi family's house was ransacked. Fortunately, the evidence was not kept at home, so it was lucky to save it.
Come down.
That day Xue Yin went to deliver the banknote to him, and he confessed all these matters. After Xue Yin found the evidence, he handed it all over to the Duke of Zhen. The Duke of Zhen sent people to secretly investigate Zhang Chengwang, and then obtained those account books.
In fact, the remaining two account books are not five, but seven. One of the remaining two account books is from this year, and the other is the record of which minister Zhang Chengwang sent the silver coins to, but in order not to alert the snake,
, those account books are still in the Zhang family.
On that day, all other account books were searched out, as well as a large amount of cash hidden by Zhang Chengwang in the secret room. All the people who appeared in the account books were arrested in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, as well as all the people involved in purchasing officials.
No one is spared!
The case was tried quickly and progressed very quickly. The adults responsible for handling the case had to report the progress to the court every day. Xuanyuan Hao had to lose his temper almost every day after going to court, and the unlucky palace maids and eunuchs suffered again.
Half a month passed, and it happened to be the day of Xuanyuan Hao's birthday. There was no banquet, but when it was time for dinner, he announced all the concubines of the third grade and above, including the respectable eldest wife in the harem, and had a meal with his concubines, but this was
This time, Ning Yue sat on one side of Xuanyuan Hao, and Su Linglong sat on the other side.
Ning Yue thought that today's assassination would not happen, but when the palace maids were serving the last dish, a dagger appeared in the basin, and a dagger with cold light shone on Xuanyuan Hao's face. Unfortunately, it happened continuously.
All three moves failed, and Ning Yue shouted urgently: "Here, there is an assassin, please help him quickly."
Chaos suddenly broke out in the palace. Chai Liang stepped forward and stood in front of the emperor. The assassin was at a loss as to what to do. Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu stepped forward and pulled Ning Yue to hide away.
"My Lady, what are you still doing standing there, being a target? Now is not the time for you to show off!" Concubine Xian's voice was obviously trembling when she said this, no, her whole body was shaking.
Ning Yue quickly took the person in her direction and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Concubine Shu's beautiful phoenix eyes glanced at Concubine Xian, and then she also deliberately hugged Ning Yue's arm...
Ning Yue: ...Girl, after all, you are also a general, and you have practiced a few moves, and you are also good at it. You really don’t want to be in such a situation!
But she still followed her own wishes, pulled out her arm, and also held Concubine Shu in her arms and patted her.
At this time, the assassin's accomplices threw several hidden weapons into the crowd. Several of the bodyguards who were blocking Xuanyuan Hao fell down. The sound of weapons clashing became louder. Seeing that the palace guards were about to break in,
Ning Yue simply helped the assassin. She secretly released her right arm from Concubine Shu, and slapped Chai Liang who was a few feet away. After Chai Liang fell to the ground, she then stabbed him.
Xuanyuan Hao's assassin shot out an internal force.
