Chapter 338: True and false account books, the Prime Minister’s choice
Just when everyone was silent, Wan Xuyao suddenly left work again and said: "Your Majesty, when I searched Sun Xuecheng's residence, I found an account book. I apologize, I didn't know what it was at the time, so I turned it over. I read one page, and it contained slanderous words about his colleagues in the court. Therefore, I did not dare to read it anymore and directly sealed the account book!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of countless people in the hall suddenly changed! Even the leaders Chen Kangbai and Tang Situi were shocked!
"Account book? Slander?" Zhao Shen sat down with a somewhat contemptuous smile on his face, "Wan Xuyao, tell me about the page you saw. Who did Sun Xuecheng slander and how did he slander? of."
"this……"
"Say!" Zhao Shen shouted sharply!
Wan Xuyao gritted his teeth, "In the 26th year of Shaoxing, Jiang Wannian, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, received 150,000 taels of silver! In the 26th year of Shaoxing, Li Yongsheng, a foreign minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, received 80,000 taels of silver..."
He read out five or six names with a straight face, "I only read these, and they were slanderous words at first glance, so I didn't read any more."
"Bring over the account books!" Zhao Shen said calmly.
Wan Xuyao bowed and saluted, and then exited the court. After burning a stick of incense, he returned again, but in his hand, there was an additional account book!
"Your Majesty!" Wan Xuyao raised his hands with both hands. However, Zhao Shen did not let Wang Quan beside him get it, but scanned the expressions of everyone in the hall!
After a long while, Zhao Shen finally said calmly: "Chen Aiqing, go and help me check whether this account book is slander or whether it is true!"
The leader, Chen Kangbai, looked tense, and then left work and came to Wan Xuyao. His eyes looked at Wan Xuyao's expression, but he saw that Wan Xuyao didn't look calm, but respectfully handed over the account book in his hand. In his hand.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Kangbai carefully opened the account book. He was overjoyed at first, because the account book was obviously fake. He had been there for several years, and although he did not know everything about the activities in the account book, he did not know anything about it. Few. In fact, some money itself passed through his hands. However, the next moment, his heart sank to the bottom. This account book was neither true nor false.
The so-called date and amount of money are simply wrong. However, the names are not false. This means that if a thorough investigation is carried out, this account book will not be needed at all, and the names on it will be enough to make it impossible for them to escape guilt.
What shocked him even more was that even his, Tang Situi's, and even Zhu Zhuo's names were on the account book.
He looked through the account books, but his eyes were in a daze, and his mind was thinking of ways at a rapid pace! Unknowingly, he raised his head involuntarily, and saw Zhao Shen's intriguing eyes falling on him. on the body.
In an instant, he suddenly understood!
The authenticity of this account book is not important. What is important is that this account book turned out to be His Majesty's. Moreover, it was taken out in this way and handed over directly to him. There are so many intriguing things in it!
In fact, this matter has been a conspiracy since the first person in charge was reported. It is a conspiracy against their entire Lord He Faction! And the purpose is to weaken the power of the Lord He Faction in the court.
When a person is in a desperate situation, his thinking will be extremely clear. This is the case with Chen Kangbai at this time! From its peak to its decline, Chen Kang makes you say in admiration, "Shi Hao and Zhang Jun, they really have good strategies!"
The struggle between the two factions has never stopped. In order to rehabilitate Yue Fei, Shi Hao and others used many ingenious schemes to defeat them. Then, they were secretly plotted by them, not only deposing Shi Hao from his position, but also allowing the leader and faction to
During this period, the power of their peace faction continued to expand, and Chen Kangbai suddenly discovered that everyone in the court was talking about them.
No emperor would allow this situation to occur. Therefore, as an emperor, he must break this situation. So, the so-called corruption of ink occurred this time!
The water is extremely clear and there are no fish! As an emperor, wouldn’t you know this kind of thing?
"Alas!" Chen Kangbai sighed in his heart, he and others were defeated, but it was not at the hands of others, but at the hands of his own people.
He won the position of chief examiner of the college entrance examination, repeatedly forced his Majesty to order Zhang Jun to withdraw his troops, promoted Diao Hongxin to the post, and forced his Majesty to negotiate peace... Chen Kangbai finally discovered that it was these things that he and others were proud of, which made him and others continue to suffer.
Pushed into the abyss. Even if this corruption incident had not happened, other things would have happened. Because I and others have reached the limit of what His Majesty can tolerate.
In the silent court hall, it took Chen Kangbai a long time to calm down his ups and downs. He finally understood why His Majesty did not read this account book in person, but handed it to him.
Because it is impossible for His Majesty to wipe out all the people on the account book, but he must make a choice. How much price he has to pay to choose the master and the faction to calm the anger in His Majesty's heart.
If it were normal times, he would probably just pick a few irrelevant scapegoats. However, if he wanted to understand what was going on behind the scenes, he knew very well that if this knife was too gentle, it would not be long before a sharper knife would continue to chop.
Make them pay a greater price.
Finally, Chen Kangbai slowly closed the account book, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened his eyes, his eyes were firm!
"Your Majesty, there is nothing slanderous in this account book!" Chen Kangbai said with all his strength.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.
However, there was a genuine smile on Zhao Shen's face.
"Oh? I don't know what Chen Aiqing saw! Since he is guilty, who is it and what is his crime?" Zhao Shen asked unhurriedly.
Chen Kangbai's eyes swept across the hall, looking at his former colleagues, and his heart felt like it was bleeding! The efforts of their leader and the faction were once broken, and it was broken by his own hands.
"The Minister of Rites, Shang Huaili, is greedy for millions of dollars in money!"
The first name is Shang Huaili, one of the six ministers, and he is one of the most important figures of the Zhuhe Sect.
"Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs..."
"Head of the Etiquette Department..."
"Minister of Industry..."...
Chen Kangbai read out more than twenty names in a row, and nearly ten of them were high officials standing in the court!
"Do you have any doubts about what Chen Aiqing said!" Zhao Shen looked at these people with indifferent eyes. At this moment, these people's faces were already ashen!
