Han family achievements

Chapter 207

While Wang Yun was arguing with Fu Wan, Henan Yin Zhongji, Luoyang Ling Chen Gong, and Luoyang Cheng Sima Lang also came to Licao.

Xun You didn't greet them, and the three of them stood in front of him instead of sitting.

Xun You's expression was cold, his tone was flat, and he said: "Henan Yin has the ability to make such a big commotion. The three of you are now famous. Look, how about my position? You come up and sit?"

"Your official is guilty." Zhong Ji, Chen Gong, and Sima Lang immediately raised their hands and said.

Xun You is generally recognized as having a good temper, and has always been gentle and polite to people, without saying a word harshly.Such yin and yang strangeness obviously expressed his anger.

The matter of "Henan Yin embezzling autumn grain for disaster relief" attracted the attention of the government and the public, and huge pressure was directly placed on the official Cao Shangshu Xun You.

Xun You sat upright, looked at the three of them with stern eyes, and said, "I have been to Yushitai more times than I have been in office for a while now. Prime Minister, the prince just came back and called me to Shangshutai. I stood back and forth for more than two hours. What I explained to you is that my mouth is dry. I have said it countless times, but I can’t find any words. Three colleagues, should you give me a reasonable answer? explanation of?"

Zhong Ji was a tall man, full of bravery, with a motionless expression, he raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "This official has caused trouble to the Shangshu. This matter, the subordinate will take it upon himself, and will not implicate the Shangshu!"

Xun You stared at him, snorted coldly, and said, "You will bear it? How do you bear it? How do you want me to deal with you? You want Shangshutai, Yushitai, and the imperial court. How do you want your Majesty to deal with you? After you are dealt with, Your Majesty Has the majesty been damaged, causing countless criticisms?"

The corners of Zhongji's face twitched, he raised his hand, and said: "This official embezzling autumn grain is a serious crime. I have written a letter of plea and asked to be dismissed!"

"Resignation?"

Xun You couldn't hold back his anger, and said: "Is it the official who came to reform, or the Shangshutai? You slapped your ass away, how do we explain to His Majesty? How does Your Majesty explain to the disaster victims and the entire Han subjects?"

Zhong Ji straightened his face, opened his mouth again and again, but said nothing.

Sima Lang stood aside, seeing Xun You's scolding like a cannonball, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Chen Gong wanted to defend Zhong Ji a few words, but he really couldn't find a reason.

Now, although Zhong Ji violated the law, he has won fame and made the court in a dilemma.

Xun You vented, but his anger was still uncontrollable, and he said, "Speak!"

Zhong Ji said with a sullen face, "I have nothing to say, I am willing to admit my guilt!"

"you!"

Xun You's anger was rising again, his face was gloomy, and he wished that this kind of album could be sent to prison now!

He glanced at Sima Lang, and said: "You, take him to see Sima Shangshu, Zhong Tingwei is waiting there!"

Sima Lang was startled, he quickly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty obeys."

Zhong Ji raised his hand at Xun You, and left side by side with Sima Lang.

Both Xingcao and Tingwei's Mansion are not together with Wucao, so they have to walk for a while.

Chen Gong was left behind, bowing in front of Xun You with a motionless expression.

Xun You sized him up and said, "I see that you used to be quite methodical, witty and quick-witted. Luoyang County's government affairs were handled quite properly. This time, why are you so dull?"

Chen Gong was startled, looked at Xun You, slowly raised his hand and said, "What does Shangshu Xun mean?"

"It's still so ignorant until now, it's in vain that His Majesty has taken a fancy to you and appointed you as Luoyang order,"

Seeing that Chen Gong was still in the dark, Xun You sneered and said, "Didn't you have any doubts about this matter from the beginning to the end?"

Chen Gong felt like falling into an ice cave in an instant, and all kinds of doubts that had been there all along seemed to be suddenly opened at this moment, his eyes opened angrily, and he said, "He, is the disaster relief fake and the corruption real?"

Xun You opened his mouth and wanted to curse, but the clerk on duty came in and said, "Shang Shu, Captain Han is here."

Xun You snorted again, and said, "He still has the face?"

Han Bin then came in, just heard it, with a helpless face, said: "In the past few months, I went to Bingzhou from Sili, and ran back to Sili from Bingzhou, and went to Yanzhou and Qingzhou before I had any saliva. When it comes to this kind of thing, there is also trouble in Sanfu, I hurried there, and I just came back today, and I said, Xun Shangshu, what do you want me to do?"

Listening to his bitterness, Xun You said, "Anyway, you are the Commander Zhisu of Sili, and you are responsible for this matter."

Han Bin was dusty and dusty, he didn't have time to change his clothes, and smelled of sweat, he glanced at Chen Gong, and said to Xun You, "Don't talk about my responsibility, tell me about this matter, what are your plans?"

The Autumn Grain is coming to an end, all the big shots have returned to Beijing, and the case of Henan Yin will be brought to justice.

Xun You had nothing to say, and said, "Ask me, can I make the decision?"

Han Bin could see that Xun You was suppressing his anger. Even though he was an old friend, he didn't want to provoke him too much. He pondered for a while and said, "I don't think there will be a lot less autumn grain."

Hearing the business, Xun You took a deep breath and said, "How many?"

Han Bin glanced at Chen Gong and said, "It's less than a hundred thousand stone."

One third less?

Xun You's expression changed, he stood up hastily, and said, "Go to Hucao."

Han Bin didn't move, and said, "What about County Magistrate Chen?"

Chen Gong quickly raised his hand, feeling uneasy.

He already had a clear premonition that the development of this matter exceeded his expectations, and there might be thunder!

Xun You looked at Chen Gong, hesitated to speak, and immediately said: "You find a place to stay, and you will be ready at any time."

"The next official takes orders." Chen Gong said, but with a deep sigh in his heart, he withdrew from Xun You's valet.

Xun You didn't have time to take care of him, so he went to Xun Yu's house with Han Bin.

Han Bin, as the captain of Sili's Zhisu, received real autumn grain, but Xun Yu didn't know that it was only [-] shi.

On the other side, Sima Lang led Zhongji to Xingcao.

Sima Jun, the prisoner, was on duty, and Zhong Yao sat beside him.

Also belonging to the Yingchuan family, the Sima family is still quite prestigious. Although Sima Jun has never been a high-ranking official, he has lived to be nearly 80 years old. Now all the officials in the court are juniors, and even grandchildren are enough.

Zhong Yao was in his early forties, and he looked respectful towards Sima Jun, who had always had an excellent reputation, and said, "Sima Gong, that kind of case is coming, I don't know, how should we end this case?"

Sima Jun sat on his knees, raised his eyebrows, and had a fierce look on his old face, and said: "If you cut it off, you will cut it off, if you want to embezzle autumn grain, you should cut it off according to the law!"

Zhong Yao was startled, and said, "Sima Gong, do you really want to kill him?"

Zhong Ji is Henan Yin, and to behead him, there must be a serious crime. The crime of 'misappropriation of autumn grain' is not enough to be sentenced to 'judgment'.

After all, Zhong Ji played the banner of 'relief for victims of disasters', once such a sentence is passed, it is not known how much impact it will cause.

"Use heavy codes in troubled times,"

Sima Jun said without any hesitation: "The laws of the Han Dynasty must be strict, and we must not leave the slightest room for corrupt officials!"

The corners of Zhong Yao's usual solemn face became more serious.

Sima Jun was recruited by the palace in person at the recruiting hall. Is this what the palace meant?

"Your Majesty's meaning?" Zhong Yao was still worried and asked.In the past, he would never say that much.

Sima Jun looked at him and said, "No."

What he said was the truth. Judging from Sima Lang's report, Sima Jun judged that Liu Bian wanted to use the collection more, because in Liu Bian's words, there was no distinction between loyalty and traitor, and it was more 'pragmatic'.

But in order to politely refuse Liu Bian's recruitment, in front of Liu Bian, he was unswervingly determined to severely punish Zongji, and now that he has recovered, he naturally cannot break his promise.

Zhong Yao was taken aback when he heard the words, didn't the palace mean it?
Since it wasn't what the palace wanted, there was room for change, Zhong Yao pondered, and said, "Sima Gong, you should be more careful."

Sima Jun didn't change his face, and said: "The evidence is solid, I intend to take it immediately, send it to the prison for strict examination, and make an announcement as soon as possible to curb criticism!"

Zhong Yao didn't expect this Sima Gong to be so strong and he had no intention of negotiating.

He couldn't help frowning, and said: "Sima Gong, this move may arouse the fear of officials everywhere."

Zhong Yao's words, in fact, have already understood very well that there are no officials in the Han Dynasty who are not greedy, and they are protected by "relief for victims of disasters". Once they are publicly disposed of, it will definitely cause a chain reaction like a tsunami. The 'New Deal' was extremely unfavorable.

"Shang Shu, Zhong Tingwei, Henan Yin Zhongji, and Luoyang Cheng Sima Lang ask to see you." At this time, the porter suddenly came to the door and said cautiously.

Sima Jun's eyes sharpened, and he said, "Let them in."

Zhong Yao looked at Sima Jun with an inexplicably bad premonition in his heart.

Not only the Henan Yin matter in front of me, but also the future court situation!

This Sima Jun may occupy a very special and important position in the imperial court!
Sima Lang came in one after the other, and the expressions of the two were different.

The corners of Zhong Ji's face were wide, with a hint of fierceness.Sima Lang was cautious and bowed his head.

"I have met Sima Shangshu, Zhong Tingwei." The two came up to him and raised their hands in salute.

Sima Jun threw a pile of official documents in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Zong Ji, you extorted money from many aristocratic families of Henan Yin, and used the money as autumn food to help the victims, bullied the king above, and insulted the court below, are you guilty? "

As soon as Sima Jun finished speaking, four guards rushed in and surrounded Zhong Ji.

Zhong Ji's face changed suddenly, he looked at the scattered official documents on the ground, then his face sank like water, his eyes flickered violently.

Sima Jun waved his hand and said, "Take him to the sky prison and interrogate him strictly!"

"and many more!"

Zhong Ji opened his eyes angrily, staring at Sima Jun and Zhong Yao, and said, "Why am I the only one arrested? Not to mention the Twelve Prefectures of Han Dynasty, but Luoyang County, am I the only one who takes bribes?"

Sima Jun's eyes moved sharply, and he said, "Say it!"

"Prime Minister Yang Biao!" Zhong Ji pouted his neck and said loudly, "His son Yang Xiu, ten days ago, took my precious inkstone worth millions of dollars!"

Zhong Yao's heart skipped a beat, his expression was cold, and he shouted: "Zong Ji, you dare to slander the prime minister, and you will be punished with a third class!"

Zhong Ji said: "I have already committed a capital crime, so why should I be afraid?"

Zhong Yao suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said to Sima Jun, "Sima Gong, this man's words cannot be trusted. If the prime minister really accepted his bribe, he can coerce the prime minister to save him, instead of confessing now."

Zhong Ji sneered and said, "Since you all found out, can the prime minister save me?"

Sima Jun was expressionless, and said: "Put it in the sky prison and interrogate it strictly!"

"Yes." The four guards locked Sima Jun firmly and dragged him out.

"Hahaha……"

As soon as he went out, Zhong Ji suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, and it lasted for a long time.

Seeing Sima Jun's handling so swiftly, Zhong Yao brought the prime minister Yang Biao into the mix, feeling like a big rock in his heart, he got up and raised his hand and said, "Sima Gong, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Sima Jun nodded slightly, watching Zhong Yao leave.

When Zhong Yao left, Sima Lang hurried forward and said, "Grandfather, this, this involves the prime minister?"

Sima Jun picked up the crutches beside him and said, "Go back early, I'm going into the palace."

Sima Lang's panic was written all over his face, seeing that his grandfather refused to say more, he could only bow respectfully and back out.

Not long after walking, I heard various discussions in Xingcao.

"Shangshu Sima is so decisive, this kind of collection will be taken down immediately!"

"I feel that something big is going to happen. Don't say anything else, Henan Yin is unanimous in saying that there are at least a dozen people involved!"

"I'm one of the tens of thousands of victims in Henan Yin. When I hear the news, if someone instigates me, I'm afraid there will be a catastrophe!"

……

Sima Lang listened, and was deeply worried about his grandfather. He looked back at his grandfather's valet, and left in a hurry.

As soon as he walked out of Xingcao, he saw Xun You, Xun Yu, and Han Bin rushing towards Tingwei's mansion.

Sima Lang immediately raised his hand in salute, but the three of them ignored him, and not far away, Zhong Yao was already waiting.

At the same time, in Deyang Hall.

Liu Bian sat on a chair, quietly looking at the memorabilia that Han Bin had just delivered.

This memorial is very long, listing the autumn grain situation in each county, from estimation to depletion, and then to actual entry into Taicang, it is written in great detail.

Liu Bian's expression was calm, his gaze was like a sword, staring at the number of 'one hundred thousand stone'.

From the initial 22, the later 15, to the final [-] now, it has been reduced by more than half!
Pan Yin approached quietly, observed Liu Bian's expression, and stood not far away, not daring to go forward.

"What's the matter?" Liu Bian said calmly without raising his head.

Pan Yin's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried forward and said: "Your Majesty, the prince has been at Yushitai for more than half an hour. It is said that he was discussing some officials in Bingzhou. Zhong Ji went to Xingcao, and was sentenced to death by Xingcao Sima. Under the witness of Zhong Tingwei, the Shangshu took it directly and sent it to the prison."

Liu Bian's eyes flickered slightly, and he said to himself, "Is this Sima Jun disregarding fame?"

Although there is conclusive evidence for the corruption of autumn grain, in the eyes of outsiders, it is still a benevolent and fearless act of "misappropriating autumn grain to help the victims without sacrificing oneself"!
This kind of action is most likely to be praised by scholars.

Pan Yin waited for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, Xing Cao said that before he was taken away, he said that he had sent a million-dollar inkstone to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Liu Bian was startled, thinking about Yang Biao's temper, turned to look at Pan Yin, and said, "Take it?"

Pan Yin said: "It is said that it was given to Yang Xiu."

Liu Bian looked strange, and said, "Didn't Yang Xiu go to Cao Cao's army?"

Pan Yin paused for a moment, and said cautiously: "Specifically, the officer who notified did not elaborate, and the inside story can only be found out through interrogation."

Liu Bian snorted, looked at the memorial in his hand again, his expression was quiet, and after a while, he said softly: "Priority, it seems that we can't delay. Pan Yin, Chuanzhi, Shangshutai, Yushitai, Liucao, Tingwei, Jiuqing, etc. enter the palace, and discuss matters in the Jiade Palace."

The corner of Pan Yin's mouth twitched unnaturally, his mind tensed, and he said in a low voice: "Yes, the villain will go now."

　After checking it, I was not very optimistic, the stone was a bit big, I guess I had to go out for a minor operation.

　　For the time being, you can't stay up late, you can't sit for a long time, and you are strictly abstaining from alcohol...
