The investigation report sent by the investigation team from Wuhan caused an uproar, and the government and the public were shocked. Because the implications were so wide, even Dali Temple, which hosted the case, did not dare to issue a detention ticket, because if Gao Yifei's case was based on the investigation report,
To make a confession, they needed to bring more than half of the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to Dali Temple for tea. A dozen officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment also had to be invited for questioning.
This is only the part that involves the capital. Huguang has already started taking action. The chief officials of several prefectures and counties along the Yangtze River have been removed by the seal pickers sent by the provincial capital and await investigation. The governor of Huguang is now in charge, He Tengjiao, who is not here.
Governor He was heartbroken that such a big incident occurred at that time, and he arrested a large number of local officials mercilessly.
Huguang can do this, but Beijing cannot. If the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are really hollowed out, then the court will not have to work, and it will not be good if it spreads. Isn't this a joke for the common people, so the cabinet did not comment after reading the report.
He said that he would discuss the matter in the long term after the investigation team came back.
The investigation team was forced to do this. In fact, they didn't go out to investigate at all. They just hid in the governor's office every day to read and drink tea, because the Nanchang fanzi warned them that corrupt elements might jump over the wall to murder them.
Anyway, there is someone investigating the case, so it is better to hide. When the investigation report concocted by Nanchang was put in front of their eyes, these adults were dumbfounded one by one. If they signed, they would be afraid of getting into trouble. If they didn’t sign, they would be afraid of getting into trouble.
Disaster came even faster. After weighing the pros and cons, I had no choice but to hold my nose, sign my name and use my official seal, and send the report back to the capital on an 800-mile express ship.
When a copy of the investigation report was placed in front of Liu Ziguang, he was also shocked. There were more officials involved than he thought. Most of them were the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household who were directly related to the river embankment project, as well as some from the Ministry of War.
Officials of the Transshipment Department, however, accounted for much less weight, and they were only "drifted" when using navy cargo ships to transport materials.
The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs were originally considered Liu Ziguang's sphere of influence, because the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was Song Yingxing, and the Minister of the Ministry of Household was Hu Xuezhai, Hu Yimin's uncle. However, these two were both technical talents and did not match up in administration. Therefore, for a long time, the two departments
His real power has been gradually eroded. The actual head of the Ministry of Household Affairs is Huang Xiaotian, the left minister. The real power of the Ministry of Industry has also been divided among several ministers. Lao Song only immersed himself in writing books and conducting experiments, and had no time to care about these trivial matters.
Liu Ziguang thought that this was an opportunity to reshuffle the cards and regain control of these two departments. Now he had some available people, such as Jinshis from the north, the first batch of Jinshis in engineering, students from the Academy of Sciences, and
Technocrats from the China Merchants Bureau can all be hired into the Ministry of Industry and Accounts Department to hold certain positions, so he firmly supports this anti-corruption campaign and advocates catching it to the end.
Qian Qianyi doesn't think so. If he really arrests the people on the list, the Donglin Party will be finished. But if they don't arrest, this trend will really be unstoppable. Embezzling money from Jiangdi is indeed a heinous crime. Qian Qianyi has never
I deny this, but politics and corruption are inseparable twins that cannot be eradicated. It would be nice if everyone had a degree. There is no way to cover this matter. We can only find a few scapegoats and kill them all.
Killing, at least the matter was deceived. I originally wanted to save Gao Yifei's head, but now it seems that it is impossible. I can only kill him and Ma Yun as a warning to calm down the public anger.
This is Qian Qianyi's concession to Liu Ziguang again. Liu Ziguang is so popular these days that he even knocked down Wei Zhongxian. This is something Qian Qianyi doesn't have the courage to do; and he is really good at bloodbathing the East Factory.
Beautiful, Jinyiwei would not be able to do it so neatly, so Qi Zhenming was a little timid, fearing that one day Liu Ziguang would get angry and clean up the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division. In short, the Donglin Party was now completely afraid of Liu Ziguang, Qian Qianyi thought about it
Thirdly, if you think you cannot be aggressive with this person, you should appropriately ease the relationship and let him take the initiative to give up the pursuit of the river embankment project fraud case.
Soon after, the investigation team returned to Beijing. There were dozens of criminals on board the ship. The Gao family and his son were among them. Local officials such as the Honghu County Magistrate also failed to escape. There were also Lin Ruhai, the censor of the river patrol, and the general contractor of the river embankment.
Shang Ma and Yun all squatted in the dark bilge with flails. They went to their posts in glory in the past, but now they return with flails. It is really amazing.
The investigation team is back, but no one is taking care of the case. The entire capital is only paying attention to one thing, and that is the child of the Marquis of Zhenwu, or should be called his uncle or His Highness, who is over one month old.
Knowing that this is the eldest son of the most popular celebrity Zhenwu Marquis and the eldest princess, and his majesty's nephew, before the prince was born, there was no one more noble than this child in the world, and he was still a full moon.
When King Temasek enthroned, the throne of the vassal was given to the son of Marquis Zhenwu. This in itself was a very rare thing and something that the people of the Ming Dynasty were proud of. So it was natural that the whole capital was busy with this matter.
The Full Moon Wine was naturally held in the Zhenwu Marquis Mansion, while the Zen ceremony was chosen to be held at the Sheji Altar in the imperial city. The two events were carried out separately and did not affect each other. The Marquis Mansion mainly entertained officials and their family members, and Peng Jinrong took care of it.
, and those present at the Zen Ceremony of the Sheji Altar were the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, and of course His Majesty the Emperor who presided over the ceremony.
The Zen ceremony was short and solemn, because Liu Kangang had to eat every half an hour, and would cry loudly if he couldn't eat. And in such a solemn place as the Sheji Altar, whether it was the wet nurse with exposed breasts or the loud crying,
The birth of a baby in heaven is not a serious matter, so the whole ceremony must be controlled within half an hour.
His Highness Alabama was wearing the standard attire of a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty - a purple python robe with four claws and a gold silk crown on his head. He solemnly recited something in the local dialect of Wat Jia Dora and in Chinese, to the effect that he was telling his ancestors
Today I want to abdicate the throne to a wise man. I hope my ancestors can understand and protect me. Alabama said clearly and logically. The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty curled their lips when they heard it. They said in their hearts that you can build a kingdom as big as a small fishing village.
I'm afraid there are only a few generations that can show off such a big pomp and have so many high officials support you. Even if you give up the throne, your ancestors will be stinked in the sky.
After Alabama finished reading, the officials of the Lifanyuan read out the edict on behalf of the emperor, announcing the legitimacy of the Zen throne. Then Zhu Youxiao came on the stage and personally gave the special gold seal and the canonization edict to the new generation of Temasek King Liu Kuangwang.
He was too young to pick it up himself, so he had to let his father, Marquis Zhenwu, keep it for him. In addition, there was a purple python robe that Jiangnan Weaving urgently made for His Highness Liu Kangang - a small purple python pattern quilt, which was also handed over to Liu Ziguang.
, some red-shirted soldiers with pot ashes on their faces and Nanyang overseas students knelt down and shouted Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose. They were all extras who came to be the subjects of the Kingdom of Majiadora. After the ceremony, each of them could receive one.
box lunch.
After finally finishing the Zen Ceremony, Liu Kangang was already hungry and started crying. Liu Ziguang hurried home. When he came to the grocery store at the entrance of the alley, he didn't forget to put down the python robe, edict, gold seal and so on, and he also changed into his usual clothes.
He put on a linen robe and carried the child home.
There were also several tables of wine and food in the small courtyard, also to celebrate the full moon. Some extras were sitting there with smiles on their faces. There was a small basket of red eggs beside each of them. At this time, Zeng Cheng’s confinement child had already sat down.
After that, he was greeting the guests in the yard. When he saw Liu Ziguang, he came back and said angrily: "How come I've been gone for half an hour and I'm not afraid of starving the children."
As soon as he heard the word "hungry", Liu Kangyang started howling again. Zeng Cheng quickly picked up the child and walked into the house. As he walked, he undressed and said to Liu Ziguang: "You help me greet the guests, and I'll feed the child."
Liu Ziguang knew that Liu Kangang would have to eat this meal for at least a while, so he greeted the "guests" and asked them to help themselves, while he flew back to the Marquis's Mansion to greet the guests there.
Alas, having two homes is really tiring. I keep shuttling between the courtyard and the mansion every day, changing places and changing clothes at the same time. It is extremely troublesome, so Liu Ziguang basically wears that linen robe now.
For the Lord, he doesn't have to act in the Marquis' Mansion anyway. As for going to court, that's another matter.
When I arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, it was a time when all the guests and friends in the capital were here to congratulate me. They couldn't curry favor with the eldest princess, so they had no choice but to come to curry favor with Peng Jinrong. Peng Jingrong's identity was not simple, she was a first-class imperial concubine, the queen's.
Liu Ziguang's close friend, Liu Ziguang's virtuous wife, fawning over her is equivalent to having a good relationship with Marquis Zhenwu.
Liu Ziguang was afraid of the trouble of being surrounded by people coming and going to congratulate him, so he simply entered the house through the side door. After entering, he entered the side courtyard of the Marquis Mansion. This courtyard was where Li Xiangjun lived in the past. It was very elegant with bamboos and peacocks. Now Li Xiangjun and Liu
The kittens and the others went on a trip together, so no one lives here for the time being.
Passing through the moon gate in front is the central courtyard of the back house. Liu Ziguang walked over in a hurry, and suddenly bumped into someone at the door. He subconsciously pushed the other person, his hands were full of tenderness, no! It was a female family member, and it was not
He quickly took a step back to look at his own female family member, and they both exclaimed at the same time: "Why is it you?"
The beautiful young woman in luxurious clothes in front of me is the mature woman "Mr. Yang" who had a one-night stand with Liu Ziguang in Xianping Zhengdian on that snowy night not long ago. At this time, she was wearing a purple dress, a hairpin, and
Wrapped with a wide white ribbon, it is truly graceful, luxurious and magnificent.
Didn't we say that we had forgotten each other? Why did we meet so soon? It seems that life is full of coincidences. Judging from her dress, she was clearly the wife of a high-ranking official, but she was not married to Xia Pei, so she was probably the successor of an official.
Liu Ziguang guessed this.
The mature woman never expected to meet the young and poor student here who could recite the famous line "She is laughing in the bushes", but after all, she was ice and snow smart, and she quickly thought of the answer. What kind of academy is Zhenwu Marquis planning recently?
, must have attracted many young and promising students. This young man is so knowledgeable, he must be the target of Marquis Zhenwu, so it is normal to meet him in the Marquis Mansion.
