Lin Jue did not have any evidence. Lin Jue did not deny this. "Privy Minister Yang, I do not have any evidence for this matter, but I am not talking nonsense, but I have heard about it?"
"Hearsay? Hahaha, Your Majesty, gentlemen, please listen. It is unreasonable for Mr. Lin to talk about such a big matter based on hearsay. Your Majesty, please punish Lin Jue severely. I cannot bear the responsibility of making such false accusations.
If the emperor does not severely punish this person, I will never agree." Upon hearing this, Yang Jun became excited, jumped up and shouted loudly.
Lin Jue frowned and said, "If Privy Yang wants evidence, go and check it yourself, and everything will come to light. I believe that Privy Yang does not know this and was fooled by the people below, so Privy Yang should conduct an internal investigation."
A thorough investigation has been carried out. Some people use military salary to line their own pockets, but you, Privy Yang, will take the blame for this. How could Privy Yang allow these moths to ruin your reputation for integrity? The military expenses are embezzled by these moths, and they do not belong to you, Mr. Yang.
That’s the original intention.”
Lin Jue's purpose today was to get Yang Jun to accept the offer of sharing military expenses, rather than forcing him to have no way out. Just when it was about to get to that point, Yang Jun would retaliate crazily, and things would be difficult to handle. So he deliberately put Yang Jun and
The generals below him took it off and gave it to Yang Jun. In fact, as the chief officer, if there was really a large-scale embezzlement of military pay below and he knew nothing about it, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part.
But there is no need to emphasize this point at this moment.
However, Yang Jun did not appreciate it and sneered: "Don't do this, it's too late for you to say this now. You are making false accusations. Do you really think that the court has no rules and laws? Your Majesty, I am here today without him."
, with me or without him, the emperor must give an explanation to the old minister."
A group of Privy Council officials also made indignant accusations. Lu Zhongtian, Wu Chunlai and others were naturally unwilling to be alone and criticized Lin Jue's move, saying, "As an important official of the imperial court, you can make false accusations at will and you must be severely punished."
, Otherwise this trend will grow and false accusations will become common in the court, which will corrupt the atmosphere and become unstoppable.' So and so.
Guo Chong frowned and looked at Lin Jue, thinking: Lin Jue, Lin Jue, you are so impulsive. You dare to talk nonsense without evidence. Hey, after all, you are a bit young and your actions are not prudent enough. This is better.
, what should I do? Do I condone your nonsense in public? I'm afraid it won't work. Hey, I thought I could help you up, but I didn't expect you are not the material.
Faced with such a situation, Lin Jue seemed to be unfazed with a sneer on his face. He came prepared today, and the situation in front of him was already expected. What else can he do when he encounters an ungrateful person like Yang Jun? He can only treat him
Speak more clearly and let him retreat from the difficulty.
"Your Majesty, Your Excellencies." After the criticism from everyone subsided a little, Lin Jue said loudly: "Whether it is a false accusation or not, and whether there is any evidence, it is actually very simple. You only need to check it. Your Majesty, I would like to send some troops to attack the army.
A thorough investigation was conducted on the matter of empty food and salary, and the results naturally came to light. I don’t understand why your lords are so excited? I just want to straighten out the financial affairs of the imperial court and eliminate financial loopholes to prevent someone from embezzling the imperial money and enriching their own pockets. Isn’t this true?
Are you responsible for what you did? You don't doubt the free money thing, but you come to criticize me, but for no other reason? Instead of solving the problem, you solve the person who raised the problem? What's the point of this? "
Guo Chong nodded slightly and was about to speak. Yang Jun spoke first: "Stop talking nonsense, you go and investigate? What qualifications do you have to investigate military matters? Do you want to interfere in the affairs of my Privy Council? Besides, you investigate.
Who can believe the results? How do you know you are not framing me?"
Lin Jue said coldly: "What Privy Yang said is unreasonable. Our Sansi Yamen already has the power to track and audit the allocation and use of imperial funds. Is it ultra vires for Sansi Yamen to investigate? All imperial funds are allocated.
When you go out, will the Sansi Yamen just leave it alone? According to regulations, full supervision and verification are required. The Third Division was not able to do this in the past, and it will do so from now on. Military affairs have their own particularities, so I,
The reason why I came up with the idea of contracting military expenses is to respect the Privy Council and respect you, Mr. Yang. If you follow the regulations, it is also within the scope of responsibility to investigate your Privy Council. Isn't your Privy Council aloof from the imperial court? These Zhou soldiers and horses are the emperor's soldiers.
Horses are not your private property, Privy Master Yang, Master Yang must understand this."
Yang Jun was stunned and suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem. If things continued like this, it seemed that things were going to get out of hand.
"Master Yang said he didn't believe me. I don't know how the Sansi Yamen became untrustworthy. The emperor trusted Wei Chen to be in charge of the Sansiyamen, but you, Master Yang, said you can't trust me. What does this mean? It's about the emperor.
Is there something wrong with your vision? Forget it, let’s not mention these things. If you don’t believe that our Sansi Yamen can handle things very easily, I would like to ask the emperor to appoint someone to form a joint inspection with our Sansi Yamen to supervise the whole process. This is all right.
Right? Master Yang doesn’t believe my Third Division Yamen. Your Majesty, you should believe it, right? Your Majesty shouldn’t deliberately frame you, Privy Councilor Yang? Your Majesty will send someone to supervise the whole process. If there is no such thing as empty pay in the army, I will
Apologize in public, restore the innocence of everyone in the Privy Council, and be willing to accept all punishments. If it is found out, Privy Yang, what will you say?"
Lin Jue's words were sharp and he fired like a machine gun. Yang Jun was hit with holes all over his body, and he breathed out all of them. He began to regret his actions. If he went to investigate, he would definitely find out everything.
It's actually very easy to investigate the matter of free pay. You only need to count the figures issued and the actual number of people in the army, and you will find out the clues. If you check this, everything will be exposed. Although he himself is not greedy for the money.
, but the crime of negligence is unavoidable. Moreover, a large number of cronies and generals will all be sent to prison. One-third of an acre of land will be turned upside down. More importantly, what will the emperor think of himself?
?
Guo Chong thought while stroking his beard. Judging from this posture, Lin Jue was confident. But Yang Jun seemed to be hesitant. That is to say, there might be something wrong with this matter. Although Guo Chong was angry, he didn't want to
This matter is too big. Guo Chong still trusts Yang Jun. Without Yang Jun, who can take on the important task of commanding the troops to defend the Zhou Dynasty? If the army is in chaos, it is no joke. If this is the case
After an investigation, mistakes are found and trouble is caused, which is definitely not what one wants.
"Lin Jue, I think... I don't need to send people to investigate this matter. Ultimately, this matter is a matter of possible violation of laws and corruption by generals in the army. It is essentially an internal matter of the Privy Council. I think it is better to leave it to Privy Yang himself.
Conduct a strict investigation and report the results to the court. What do you think?" Guo Chong said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue was just waiting for Guo Chong and Xini. If he had to force it, he wouldn't be able to defeat Yang Jun. Yang Jun's current position is irreplaceable. The time to defeat him is far from here. The purpose of today is also not there.
Here it lies.
"Your Majesty, I have long said that it would be best for Privy Councilor Yang to investigate this matter himself. Our Third Division Yamen does not have many manpower, and we have to send people to supervise and investigate every allocation. This is a huge task."
Therefore, it would be best if the Privy Council could conduct self-examination. The reason why I proposed the idea of contracting military expenditures is actually because I hope that the Privy Council can take responsibility for itself, conduct self-examination and self-correction, and save us from having to deal with each item one by one.
Checking the expenditure of funds is not to shirk responsibility, but to give respect to the Privy Council and increase the efficiency of its operations. But Privy Yang does not agree to share the military expenses, so our Third Division Yamen will have to send people to check, otherwise the funds will be used
The cause is unclear and the imperial court's finances are in chaos. The blame for this lies with our Sansi Yamen and the minister. Shouldn't the minister also be punished?" Lin Jue bowed and said.
Guo Chong looked at Yang Jun. Yang Jun didn't know how to borrow the donkey at the moment, and said hurriedly: "That's all, I agree to this military expenditure contract. The old minister will personally supervise the suspicion that someone is eating the money as Master Lin said.
Check. If anyone really dares to do this, I will punish him severely. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
Guo Chong nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, then it's settled. You will discuss the specific matters privately. Retreat from the court, retreat from the court!"
Guo Chong was satisfied and retreated from the court. Lin Jue was also satisfied and led the crowd away. Yang Jun was left staring, feeling as if he had eaten a fly. The annual military expenditure of about 40 million taels of silver was cut to 2,000 in one blow.
Five million taels, after the lump sum, there is no reason to make random allocations. I am afraid that I will have a hard time in the future. I cannot allow those guys under my command to greedy money at will. I must restrain them and make careful calculations.
Several consecutive battles in the court ended with Lin Jue's victory. As the tide rose, the Sansi Yamen led by Lin Jue suddenly changed from a second-rate Yamen in people's minds to a powerful organization. People suddenly understood
When I came to see it, it turned out that the power and responsibilities of the Sansi Yamen were so huge. The money bag he held was the lifeblood of all the yamen. I didn't realize this before. These days, if you don't have money, you have to be a grandson. It turns out that the Sansi Yamen is the lifeblood of all the yamen.
Grandpa of the Yamen.
People can't help but wonder why the Sansi Yamen didn't give people this feeling in the past. The result of thinking is that the former Sansi Yamen lacked a strong leader. Several Sansi Envoys were submissive, and
Lin Jue's taking office completely changed everything. As the saying goes, if a soldier is intimidated, he will be intimidated by others. Without a strong leader, it is impossible for the Sansi Yamen to rise.
From the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to the end of February, in just one and a half months, the situation and atmosphere in the court had undergone tremendous changes. Lin Jue's boldness in speaking out in the court inspired the fighting spirit of some officials, and they gradually dared to confront Lu Zhongtian
Wu Chunlai criticized the words and deeds of Yang Jun and others, and dared to argue with their arguments. When faced with major issues, he did not just follow what others said. The atmosphere in the entire court was becoming positive. Lu Zhongtian was extremely a party member, and Yang
The arrogance of Jun and others has greatly diminished. A large number of people who dare to speak out gathered around Lin Jue. The situation has almost returned to the situation after Yan Zhengsu and Fang Dunru returned to the court, and it is even worse than then.
Positive. Because Lin Jue is challenging the powerful ministers as a new generation without any qualifications, this has a more motivating effect than the situation where Yan Fang and Yan Fang have deep qualifications, rich experience and high reputation.
