"Yang Qing, do you know why I want to leave you alone?" Yun He asked after Chen Ying and Yang Shiqi left.
*** looked at his face and felt that keeping him was not a good thing. He felt uneasy and said, "I don't know."
"You don't know?" Yunxi raised his voice: "You don't know what you did?"
"Your Majesty, please make it clear!" *** immediately knelt down and said.
"You!" Yunxi sat on the chair, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea to calm down, and said: "Did you receive any bribes when you were serving as Shaoqing of Dali Temple? And it was a bribe from Liu Zheng, a doctor in the Sichuan Division of the Ministry of Punishments.
?”
"I apologize to your Majesty!" After hearing this, *** suddenly thought of the money Liu Zheng gave him a few months ago, and then thought of the thing he had asked for. He immediately understood why Yunxi was so angry, and knelt down again.
Kowtow: "I apologize to Your Majesty!"
"***, you did a good job!" Yunxi couldn't help shouting again: "I put you in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple to train you. You will be useful in the future, and you know it yourself.
Years ago, I originally thought that you had been serving as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple for two years, and you had done well in your work, so I wanted to send you to another yamen for training, but I did not expect that you would accept bribes in the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"
"It's just a matter of accepting a bribe, but it actually happened to Liu Zheng. You should have thought of the thing he begged you for, which is the Li case. If I didn't know about it in advance, let the Ministry of Punishment or the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate.
The case was eventually traced to you. I originally wanted to suppress the Zhou Li sect, but how could I suppress them after you were traced! Just because you almost delayed this matter!"
*** Gui lay on the ground, not daring to refute a word, listening to Yunxi's scolding. But seeing him like this, Yunxi became even more angry.
"Although I haven't made your matter public, how can I not punish you! You should make preparations in the past few days. I will appoint you as the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple. You will take office in a few days." Yunxi said.
Since then, because of his reputation as one of the three most outstanding ministers in the three dynasties from Yongle, Hongxi to Xuande, Yunxi was very tolerant to him. If he had reminded him twice before putting it above others, he would still have done it.
Unable to resist accepting bribes, Yunxi had already asked him to report to the dock in Jinchuan City. Just because of his reputation, Yunxi retreated again and again.
But this time he really can't pass it by lightly. If he doesn't teach him a lesson, he will never remember it. Taipu Temple is a very special yamen. It is nominally in the capital, but its yamen is located in Chuzhou in the north of the Yangtze River. Although
It's not far from the capital, so it's a foreign city after all. And although this yamen is very important, in the eyes of most officials, it is a job that anyone can do, and everyone despises it. The officials from the capital were sent to Taipu Temple, and their grades remained the same.
Considered derogatory.
So when *** heard what Yunxi said, he immediately raised his head and said to Yunxi: "I know that I violated the law and made a mistake. But please give me another chance. I will never accept bribes again."
."
"Sending you to Taipus Temple is to give you the last chance." Yunxi said: "If I no longer want to use you, the appointment this time will not be the Shaoqing of Taipus Temple, but to Shang Fan or Yin Fan.
The Sixth Hall servant shoots!"
*** quietly took a look at Yunxi's face and realized that what he said was not an angry word, but a sincere one. He immediately did not dare to beg any more. He was sent to Shang Fan or Yin Fan as an official, and he was not a prime minister.
No matter how bad the official position was, he was afraid that if he asked for it again, Yunxi would issue an order to send him to the Hanzhou continent, and there would be no hope. "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
"Hey!" Yunxi sighed again: "When you arrive in Chuzhou, don't make such a mistake again."
"I will definitely not make any mistakes again!" *** said again. Although Taipusi is a very fat yamen and can make a lot of money with just a few hands, he really doesn't dare to take bribes.
"I hope you remember what I said today." Yunxi said again and ordered him to step back. He kowtowed a few more times, stood up and left Qianqing Palace.
Yunxi sat in the back hall for a while, thinking about the three people San Yang. "Among these three people, *** is the most talented, but he is greedy for money. He must get rid of this habit. I am not like Zhu Di in history." It seems like using worthless treasure banknotes or even peppercorns from overseas as tribute will not make it impossible for you to support your own family, so why are you greedy? If he can't get rid of this problem, he really can't be reused. Anyway, he is dead in history. Many of the ministers who served during Yu Jianwen's four years are still alive, and there is no shortage of talents.'
'Yang Shiqi is quite good, he is very upright and talented. But I remember that his son seemed to get into big trouble later. For Yang Shiqi's sake, it is better to order Jin Yiwei to keep an eye on his son when he grows up a few years. Don't let things happen. It's a big deal. It seems that Yang Pu is the most reassuring. He is upright and talented, and there is no careless child holding him back. You can consider promoting him in the future.'
Yunxi thought for a while, stood up and walked to the window to bask in the warm winter sunshine again, and was about to go to the front hall to comment on the memorial. But at this moment, the young eunuch announced: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess of Zhongshan wants to see you!" His voice said As soon as he landed, he heard Yunzhi's voice: "Brother Emperor!"
"Why, why do you come to see me at this time?" Yunxi said with a smile.
"Brother Emperor, has the Li family's case not been closed yet?" Yunzhi said.
"The case has not been closed yet. It has only been a few days. Even counting from the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month two years ago, it has only been a little more than a month until today. It is normal that the case has not been closed."
Yunzhi curled her lips and said: "Brother, don't use such words to deal with my sister. Does my sister know what you are busy with these days, brother? The Li family's case has been investigated clearly."
"Brother Emperor, it is not Brother Emperor's wish that something like this happened to the Li family. It would be a good thing for Brother Emperor to close the case as soon as possible. Besides, Brother Emperor, you have already finished your busy work, so it is time to close the case of the Li family." She requested again. road.
"Okay, okay! I'm going to order the Jin Yiwei to sort out the file from beginning to end. The emperor will criticize it again and then send it to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for final conviction!" Yunxi said.
"This is my sister's good brother!" Yunzhi said with a smile.
"You, I've only met that person named Li Yonglin a few times, and I've been working so hard for her. It's really worth it to make a friend like you." Yunxi said. (To be continued)
