Chapter 1,498 The First Major Case of the Hong De Dynasty
On the way home, father and son were sitting in the same carriage.
Mr. Shen first glanced at his son, and then asked: "Have you met the eldest princess?"
The young Marquis was a little surprised: "You know?"
"Your Majesty is a very emotional person."
When saying this, Shen Yi paused for a moment, and then continued: "He will definitely take the eldest princess's thoughts into consideration and arrange for you to meet to talk things over."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi also sighed: "I hope the eldest princess can be more open-minded and find someone to marry earlier, I'm afraid..."
The young Marquis raised his head, looked at his father, and asked, "Dad, what are you afraid of..."
Mr. Shen glanced at him angrily: "What else can I be afraid of? Naturally, I am afraid that she will become a monk because she can't think about it."
"Are you afraid that she will commit suicide?"
"You kid, you think of yourself as too important."
The young Marquis scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
Shen Yi knocked on the window edge of the carriage with his hand, and then said quietly: "With your Majesty's cooperation on the garrison in Goryeo, I finally forced the King of Goryeo to nod, and the formal agreement has been signed. Wait for you two After you get married, go to the Huai'an army, order ten thousand-household camps, and station them between Goryeo and Zhu Zhenren."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi paused and continued: "You are going there this time, firstly, to exercise your ability to lead troops, and secondly, to let you know more about Zhu Zhenren, so as to avoid fighting with Zhu Zhenren in the future. I didn’t feel confident when I was there.”
"But there are more important things."
Mr. Shen said quietly: "I have already chosen a suitable Korean prince. When the time comes, you, my brother-in-law, will make a good acquaintance with him."
The young Marquis's eyes lit up, then he looked at his father and whispered: "Dad, with only ten thousand people, I'm afraid there is no way to influence the situation of the Goryeo Dynasty."
"That's almost enough."
Shen Yi put his hands on his sleeves and said calmly: "It's not like I'm asking you to go against the entire Goryeo Kingdom and pull one faction against another. You have to try to do it yourself. This kind of thing... only teaching will always teach you." No, you have to practice it personally."
"The country of Goryeo is not big, so it is a good place for you to practice. I will give you two or three years to try to control the Goryeo Dynasty, if you can do it."
Mr. Shen said slowly: "Then it won't be so difficult to deal with those old foxes in Da Chen from now on."
The little Marquis was still a little unsure. He blinked and asked, "Dad, what if my son messes up?"
"That's okay."
Mr. Shen said calmly: "I only said to send ten thousand-household camps, and I didn't tell them how many people I have in one thousand-household camp?"
"Our Huai'an army has a thousand-household camp of three to four thousand people."
Lord Shen smiled faintly: "It's a common thing."
…………
Some time later, the King of Goryeo visited Shenhou Mansion several times and met with Shen Yi and Lu Ruoxi. The two parties formally agreed to get married by the end of the year.
Moreover, because the country of Goryeo was far away, the King of Goryeo left his daughter in Yanjing and did not take her back.
When the day comes for the wedding, the King of Korea will not come to Yanjing again, and will probably send his eldest son to attend his sister's marriage.
After the King of Korea left, Mr. Shen also dealt with all the miscellaneous matters in the Governor's Mansion.
With my hands free, it was finally time to do serious business.
After that, there were several court meetings in a row. Mr. Shen, who liked to sleep in, attended the court meeting on time. At the third court meeting, when Mr. Shen was standing leisurely in the first row, a familiar figure walked to the court meeting and knelt down before the emperor. In front of His Majesty.
"I'll report to Secretary Luo Yong from your residence and go to see Your Majesty."
Luo Yong, Sizheng, Di Bao Department.
As the status of the Di Newspaper Division has increased, the rank of the position of Di Newspaper Division Chief has also increased.
When Shen Yi set out to establish this yamen, Si Zheng, the Di Bao Si, was still an inconspicuous official of the eighth rank. Now, as the Di Bao Si has been promoted several times, although Luo Yong has not been promoted for more than ten years, he has also been promoted now. He is an important minister of the fourth rank.
His Majesty the Emperor sat on the main seat, frowned, and said calmly: "Although the Luo Qing family is a fourth-rank official, there is a special exception from the Di's Reporting Department, so they do not need to participate in the court meeting. Why did the Luo Qing family come to court today?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have important information, and I will report it with tears in my eyes!"
Luo Yong knelt down and kowtowed, his forehead touching the ground, his expression was respectful, and his voice was trembling a little.
His Majesty the Emperor was a little displeased and frowned: "What happened to the Di's Reporting Department? Isn't it going to be reported privately? Why should it be reported to the court?"
"His Majesty…"
Luo Yong's voice was filled with tears. He lowered his head and said: "I have been in charge of the Di Bao Si for more than ten years under the emperor's orders. I have been holding back many things in my heart without receiving the emperor's orders. Today, for the sake of Da Chen's country Sheji, I really can’t bear it anymore!”
He took out a thick document from his pocket, held it above his head with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Di Newspaper Division has been established for more than 20 years, and I have been in charge of the Di Newspaper Division for more than ten years. Today, the Di Newspaper Bureau is Reporters are all over the world, and I, as an upright official, will inevitably find out some secret things."
"Before the unification of the world, Da Chen, under the leadership of His Majesty, focused on the Northern Expedition. The whole court could be said to be united as one. However, starting from ten years ago, with the unification of the country, some corrupt officials began to make connections in the court. The upper and lower hands!"
"Among them, there are even officials who took action against the former Huai'an Army!"
"I have been holding these words in my heart for ten years. However, Your Majesty has been deceived by traitors and has never had the sacred mandate. Today, in front of the great court, I risk my life to speak out!"
"I count the number of corrupt officials in the imperial court, and there are more than a hundred of them. Most of these people hold important positions in the imperial court, and they are exploiting them to no extent! According to the statistics of the imperial newspaper, the amount of money they have embezzled from the imperial court exceeds tens of millions of taels! They are corrupt in secret. I can’t even imagine how much!”
"I have risked my life to make this statement. Please investigate it carefully, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, he touched his forehead to the ground, held the document above his head respectfully, and said no more words.
The officials at the great court meeting all changed their expressions.
There are too few pure and flawless officials.
His Majesty the Emperor frowned and asked: "The Di Di News Department is responsible for publishing Di Di newspapers and investigating news. Who allowed you to supervise all officials without authorization!"
Luo Yong was trembling all over.
"I am guilty, please convict your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongde looked very ugly.
Almost all the eyes of the court officials fell on Shen Yi.
More than ten years have passed, and the Di Newspaper Division is no longer particularly secretive. Everyone knows that this is the yamen that Lord Shen personally led, and Luo Yong, who is kneeling on the ground, is a subordinate that Lord Shen personally led.
Although the Di Newspaper Division was no longer under the jurisdiction of Lord Shen more than ten years ago, it is self-evident who Luo Yong listens to.
Even Zhang Jian couldn't help but glance at Shen Yi and frowned slightly.
He was worried about Shen Yi.
After the deathly silence, His Majesty the Emperor was still a little annoyed and said loudly: "Forget about the paperwork for now, you first receive the penalty of twenty sticks! After receiving the penalty, I will slowly punish you!"
Luo Yong shed tears and lowered his head, and was led down by the Han general in the palace to receive his stick and scold him.
After Luo Yong was taken away, the emperor looked at the ministers and frowned: "Masters, how should we handle this matter?"
Everyone in the palace said nothing.
Including several prime ministers, no one dared to stand up and speak at this time.
The emperor looked at several Zhongshu prime ministers.
After Prime Minister Song Yuan was silent for a long time, he left the office and lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, the Chief of Staff has overstepped his authority and is against the rules..."
Everyone else then spoke one after another.
Only Zhang Jian, the new minister, said nothing.
Finally, the emperor looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Shen Qing, what do you think?"
Mr. Shen looked calm. He bowed his head when he left work, bowed and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, please report the guilty to the guilty."
"As for the documents sent by the Di newspaper department, I think..."
Shen Yi's voice was calm but powerful.
"Let's hand it over to the Third Law Department."
The emperor sighed, nodded and said: "Yushitai, Dali Temple."
He glanced at Zhou Yuanlang and named the last yamen.
"Punishment Department."
The heads of the three yamen all stood up and bowed their heads in response.
