I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 160 Today’s Zhonghe Hall is too scary

The world is impermanent.

I’m talking about Yang Guofu right now.

Everyone in the palace was also astonished. They did not expect that today they would be the sinful woman Li Nichang who came to perform, and Wang Maoqing, Zhu Kewen and others who had been sheltered by her and had done all kinds of evil in the past few years.

As a result, the Empress suddenly made such a move, and everyone began to speculate inexplicably what His Majesty was going to do.

Yang Guofu lowered his head, dripping with sweat. Because his forehead was on the ground, he could only see the empress's robe. He wanted to see what the emperor was thinking and whether he really wanted to kill someone.

But I don’t dare at all!

But looking sideways, one can see the hands of the Huanglong Guards resting on the hilts of their swords, as if they were ready to draw their swords to kill.

How good is this! ?
What should I do?
Yang Guofu thought quickly about the current situation, mainly thinking about how to save his life.

The palace suddenly became quiet.

but suddenly
Tian Gui, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, came out, bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The originally solemn atmosphere, filled with all kinds of suspicions, speculations and doubts, was broken by the doctor from the Ministry of Works who was responsible for building the temple walls and other matters.

Everyone looked at Tian Gui.

Yang Guofu is Tian Gui's direct boss.

But
Tian Gui is from the Yang Party?I don't think so. I remember he was a lonely minister.

But to stand up and plead for mercy at this time?It’s better to strike while the iron is hot and plan to participate in a copy of Yang Guofu.

The officials were puzzled, but they all chose to wait and see what happened.

Wait for Tian Gui to finish and see what His Majesty means before they make a choice.

Xia Fengxiang raised his eyes and looked at Tian Gui: "Say."

Tian Gui cupped his hands and said: "I can't say whether Mr. Yang is guilty or not. But Mr. Yang is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. During his tenure as the Ministry of Industry, he worked hard and worked hard. Although I am a minor official in the Ministry of Industry, I can see clearly that these are all merits. It’s also hard work.”

"Especially now that a dam is going to be built in the southwest, and it must be repaired before spring. Otherwise, if the river water surges after heavy rains, local people will inevitably suffer from floods, and a year's spring plowing will be delayed, and the people will be harmed by floods."

"In addition, some local officials reported that the embankment also needs to be repaired and strengthened. In Silla and other places, the demand for silk, tea, porcelain, etc. has increased, and several more commercial cargo ships have to be built."

"These recent matters involve people's farming and Daxia's treasury. Mr. Yang has done all of them personally. He has contacted the responsible and involved officials privately, including how to ration the money, how to allocate funds, how to repair and strengthen the river embankments, how many merchant ships to build, and I have no idea how big the project will be, and so on. Therefore, I boldly implore Your Majesty, if Mr. Yang is guilty, please let Mr. Yang clearly explain these matters to other officials of the Ministry of Works."

When everyone heard that Tian Gui, who had rarely made friends with other officials, said such words, they were all stunned and immediately rolled their eyes.

At this time, do we still need to talk about these things? !
Those things were why Yang Guofu was convicted, but it's not like he couldn't be asked.

But
Ok?
All the officials were startled.

He quietly looked at Tian Gui again, with a surprised look on his face.

Is this old boy begging for mercy?
No, it's not a request. If it is a request, it is all about the appropriation of those officials by name. It was Yang Guofu who contacted those officials in private.

Whether it is building a dike or building a trading ship, these are all big things and require a lot of silver. You even need to submit a letter to the Central Secretary and get it stamped.

And it must be in the Ministry of Industry, mainly based on Shangshu, and discussed with other people.

But
in private! !
Tian Gui, this old boy is so shady.

It seemed like His Majesty was letting His Majesty see that Yang Guofu was so busy boasting about the work of the Ministry of Industry. He had worked hard all these years, but one person "privately" defined a lot of things.

Why did you, Yang Guofu, contact you privately about such a big matter? How much was the discussion involved?
When the Ministry of Industry handles accounts, it must be clear and clear, and someone must take note of the deliberations and write them down in a file to present to the emperor.

As a result, you privately.
Incredible!

Yang Guofu lowered his head, he had already started to scold Tian Gui's [-]th generation ancestors in his heart, he had already disliked Tian Gui as a bastard, if he couldn't find any trouble, he would have let the fuck go!
However, Yang Guofu's mind was spinning rapidly as to what he should say.

Something must be done now, otherwise if a few more people come out and say it, their fate will really be decided here!

Thinking like this, there were more and more beads of sweat on Yang Guofu's forehead. Even in this early winter, the weather was slightly cold. As a result, many people now saw signs that Yang Guofu's clothes were a little wet.

Xia Fengxiang looked at Tian Gui and smiled, then turned and walked towards the dragon chair.

When the ministers saw this, they all began to speculate on what His Majesty meant.

There are even some people who think that they should stand up and join Yang Guofu while the iron is hot.

but
At this time, another person came out: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

The person who stood up was Zhao Ling, the young minister of Sinong Temple, who was a female official.

Everyone looked at Zhao Ling and wondered whether the head of the Zhao family in Xiangzhou wanted to join in the fun?
Zhao Ling cupped his hands and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the third year of Tianshou, Xiangzhou was hit by a snowstorm, and the people in three counties were affected. When I went back to my ancestral house, Mr. Yang felt sorry for the disaster in Xiangzhou. Because of the emergency, he used the documents of the Ministry of Industry and the bank of the Ministry of Industry to build houses and other residences for the victims. For those who have food, I went to visit the victims in person during the period. But because of unauthorized embezzlement, Mr. Yang was punished by Mr. Taifu, and his salary was recorded once every half year. But the people affected by the disaster thanked Mr. Yang.”

"So I think that maybe there are some unspeakable secrets in the things that Mr. Tian Gui just said, and Mr. Yang may have to bear them alone, so he contacted those people privately."

Everyone heard the words.

They were all surprised. They all knew what Yang Guofu had done. At that time, many people from Yang's party gave many gifts to flatter him, and even held a grand banquet. Some of them even sent plaques to Yang Guofu. At that time, many people He also praised Yang Guofu.

But
Only a small group of people, or in other words, those few third-rank officials know the truth!
That is, Yang Guofu watched himself dig into his pocket and saw his salary fined.

But the truth is that after the disaster, many officials in Xiangzhou were demoted, and Yang Guofu immediately put his own people in.

Although the matter was indeed done, the people affected by the disaster did receive assistance, including houses, fields, surplus grain, and pensions.

But did Yang Guofu get benefits from the officials he arranged to join, or did he get other benefits?

No one knows.

But everyone knows very well that Yang Guofu is a person who has no profit and cannot afford to do it early, and it is impossible to do this for no reason.

However, only a few people knew about this matter, and many others really thought that Yang Guofu was showing mercy by chance.

So when I heard Zhao Ling's words, I was a little surprised.

Because Zhao Ling is not from the Yang Party, so by jumping out and talking about this, is she interceding for Yang Guofu? ?

People are puzzled.

But I felt that there was something in Zhao Ling's words.

just
It really sounds like he's begging for mercy.

Just now, Tian Gui "privately" sent Yang Guofu into a bottomless abyss.

But now Zhao Ling came out to plead with Yang Guofu to 'relieve the victims'.

Everyone was a little confused.

But looking at the emperor, Xia Fengxiang looked at Yang Guofu with a playful expression.

Seeing the emperor's expression, everyone didn't dare to say anything and once again speculated on the empress's thoughts.

but
Why did this remind them of the late emperor back then!
Yang Guofu's heart is extremely heavy now, he knows why this Zhao Ling brought up this matter, this matter seems to be a compliment to him, but could it be an intercession?
But before Yang Guofu could get anxious, Xia Fengxiang finally asked: "Everyone, stand up. Today we are talking about the matter of the criminal woman Li Nichang. What are you doing kneeling down one by one? Besides, we are not going to court now. Everyone can speak freely. Can."

Hearing these words, the ministers who were kneeling by Yang Dang, who had been frightened and constantly speculating, hesitated and then stood up in unison.

Li Jiulang also bowed to the emperor and stood up.

And Yang Guofu knelt on the ground, motionless.

Xia Fengxiang smiled and said: "Yan Jingqing, help Yang Guofu up. I don't like people kneeling very much."

As he spoke, Xia Fengxiang opened Li Jiulang's 'pleasure fold' without looking at Yang Guofu.

Upon hearing this, Yan Jingqing hurriedly stepped forward to help Yang Guofu.

But if you don't support him, you don't know. When he touched Yang Guofu, Yan Jingqing immediately found that Yang Guofu's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and Yang Guofu himself looked solemn and nervous.

Yan Jingqing knew why Yang Guofu was like this, so he tried his best to help Yang Guofu up and squeezed Yang Guofu's arm.

Yang Guofu felt Yan Jingqing's movements. Although he did not respond, his mind continued to think about the current situation.

It had been a long time since nothing had driven him to this point.

Xia Fengxiang continued at this time: "But since it was mentioned, let's talk about it by the way, Yang Guofu."

Yang Guofu was surprised, and immediately pushed Yan Jingqing away, bowed his hands and bowed: "The minister is here." Xia Fengxiang looked at Yang Guofu from the memorial: "Whether it is a dam or a merchant ship, it is a big deal. Tian Gui said that you have a private meeting with me." What did those people talk about? Tell them and let everyone listen."

Yang Guofu was surprised, and his one eye immediately turned around. His father's instructions to him rang in his mind, so he immediately said: "Your Majesty, although I am doing this in private, I have absolutely no selfish motives. I just want to take care of everything." After understanding it clearly, we will discuss it with Mr. Tian and all the adults in the Ministry of Work. In fact, we have already discussed everything yesterday. Just because we have to sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple this morning, and because the sinful woman Li Nichang plotted a rebellion today, Therefore, we did not discuss it with Mr. Tian and others in time."

"Moreover, for these matters, there are more than three million taels of silver in the Ministry of Works. All of them can be completed by mobilizing the money stored in the Ministry of Works. In addition, I am also thinking about the damage caused by the Queen's rescue today. The altar can also be repaired with this silver."

Does the Ministry of Industry have bank deposits?
Or more than 300 million taels? ! !
Everyone was surprised.

Even Su Zimu, who kept his head down and remained calm, and Li Jiulang were also stunned.

After all, one of them is the Secretary of the Central Committee and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. They know best whether there is any money in the Ministry of Industry.

As a result, more than 300 million people appeared out of thin air?
Yang Guofu is really a generous person! !
Although Tian Gui was surprised, he immediately said: "In this case, I misunderstood Mr. Yang. Please forgive me, Mr. Yang, and your majesty."

Yang Guofu immediately resisted the urge to kill Tian Gui and said with a smile: "It's just a misunderstanding. Mr. Tian doesn't need to do this."

After saying that, he looked at Xia Fengxiang again.

Xia Fengxiang smiled and asked: "Tian Gui, does the Ministry of Industry really have so much money in savings?"

Tian Gui immediately bowed and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, there are so many. I have forgotten the exact fraction. After I returned, I immediately looked through the accounts and presented them to Your Majesty."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall looked at Yang Guofu.

I saw Yang Guofu frowning tightly, his chubby face was bruised and purple, which was a bit ugly.

Everyone was almost amused by Yang Guofu's funny expression.

Then they all looked at Tian Gui.

This lonely minister had a calm face, without any expression.

But when everyone looked at him, they felt that this old guy was really wilted and bad!
Don't know exactly how much.
What is a fraction?
3909 million taels, this 99 is also a fraction.

300 million and one tael, this one tael is also a fraction.

But looking at Tian Gui like this, it was obvious that he wanted to write hundreds of thousands.

Xia Fengxiang nodded: "In that case, Mr. Tian said this matter will be over. Next time Yang Guofu does these things and negotiates with others privately, he should tell other people in the Ministry of Industry to avoid such misunderstandings."

Yang Guofu immediately responded: "I will remember your Majesty's teachings."

Xia Fengxiang still said nonchalantly: "I also know about the snow disaster in Xiangzhou this year. Zhao Ling did a good job at that time, so he was recommended by the Grand Master as Sinong Shaoqing."

Zhao Ling immediately handed over his hand: "My lord, you can't do anything as good as Mr. Yang."

Xia Fengxiang continued to ask: "How are the people in Xiangzhou doing now?"

Su Zimu stood up and bowed: "Half a month ago, Xiangzhou Jiedushi Zang Boyu submitted a memorial, saying that people's lives have returned to normal now, but the snow disaster was all because he did not discover it in time, so the people suffered. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Zimu, thought for a while and said: "No one is a sage, and no one can make mistakes. If I tell him that he will get a demerit this time, I really know he is wrong. I should learn from Mr. Yang Guofu and think more about the people."

Su Zimu bowed and cupped his hands: "Yes."

When Yang Guofu heard this, he couldn't guess that it was him. No matter how painful it was, he immediately said: "I am willing to take responsibility to the end. I will take out 10 taels of private silver and send it to Master Zang to distribute to the people." , to make up for their losses due to the lack of harvest this year.”

After finishing speaking, Du Yan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately added: "The silver taels are given by your Majesty over the years, so your Majesty is also giving the silver taels to the people who were affected by the disaster. Therefore, the number of people should be clear. This is because your Majesty has mercy on the people. Therefore, A special gift.”

Everyone in the hall looked at Yang Guofu again.

They all expressed emotion.

Such a strong desire to survive!
First, the more than 300 million taels.

Now he is even flattering without changing his face and heartbeat, and even sent 10 taels to the victims in the name of His Majesty.

Moreover, Your Majesty rewarded you with taels of silver. When did you reward him? Over the years, it has accumulated to 10 taels. Mr. Yang lies so easily.

but
The desire to survive is too strong!

Xia Fengxiang looked at Yang Guofu and smiled: "I just said why you didn't plead guilty. I was just joking. I made a joke with you. But Mr. Yang said that he was guilty. Please tell me what the crime is."

Yang Guofu was stunned.

The officials were also stunned by Xia Fengxiang's words.

joke?

What a joke!

Everyone can clearly see Yang Guofu's funny look at the moment, but you came here to make a joke.
But if you make Mr. Yang sweat profusely, you will almost kill him.

Like father, like daughter.

Your joke is even worse than the jokes the late emperor made with others back then.

Yang Guofu also didn't know what to say in his heart, but he still said respectfully: "Your servant."

He originally wanted to say that he had committed the same crime as Li Jiulang.

But when the words came to his lips, he didn't dare to say them.

Because up to now, hasn’t Li Jiulang not been convicted?
What if he commits the same crime as Li Jiulang? What if it's a trap again?
So I have to change my tune immediately.

But Xia Fengxiang said at this time: "Forget it, you say you are guilty and write a confession when you go back. However, since you are guilty, you can't go without punishment. You don't want to be the minister. But for the sake of your work, The Ministry has sacrificed so much, so let’s take the position of Doctor. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry is temporarily vacant and will be temporarily taken care of by the Minister."

After finishing speaking, he added: "Tian Gui and Zhao Ling are interceding for you. Please thank them properly after you go down."

Just a word.

The official Shangshu of Liubu Hall, who was in the third rank, suddenly became the doctor of the Ministry of Industry in the fifth rank.

Show your imperial power.

the most important is
It says 'If you say you are guilty, then you will be punished'.

Well, if you say you are guilty, you should be punished!
By now, everyone has clearly seen that His Majesty is playing with Yang Guofu, the kind of man who will scare you to death and not pay for your life!
And the last sentence is to thank Tian Gui and Zhao Ling, good guy, Zhao Ling forget it, it sounds like pleading, but Tian Gui is trying to get Yang Guofu to death, so thank you! !

Your Majesty is really good at playing!

At the same time, many people looked at Xia Fengxiang and understood one thing.

His Majesty
Killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.

People in Yang's party were shocked.

Just two words in an understatement
Master Yang's position as minister is gone? ?
We all know that today is different from the past, but it changes too quickly!
That was Yang Guofu, the dignified minister of the Ministry of Industry! !

Xia Fengxiang looked at Yang Guofu who didn't react and asked, "Master Yang, are you dissatisfied?"

Yang Guofu's heart was in turmoil, is it gone?
In the past few years, because of his father's power, he had climbed to the position of minister and lost it in two sentences.

And just because he said he was guilty, he took it away without concluding any crime? ?
Yang Guofu wanted to roar and shout.

But when he looked up and saw Xia Fengxiang looking at him, with extremely cold eyes, Yang Guofu was frightened and could only bow and cup his hands: "I accept the order."

Xia Fengxiang threw the memorial in his hand on the table, then looked at the ministers below: "Is there anyone who objects?"

All the ministers immediately stood down and did not dare to speak.

Xia Fengxiang saw that no one was talking, so he said, "Just back off and go back to the topic. Li Jiulang brought so many boxes, what's in them."

Yang Guofu screamed in his heart, but he had to stand back to his original position.

Even if everyone in the Yang Party has something to say, in this situation, do they dare to say a word?Naturally, he retreated.

The other officials in the hall, while looking at Yang Guofu, then looked at Xia Fengxiang.

The demise of the Queen Mother Party is certain.

Although Yang Dang has survived and still exists, he has changed, and everything has changed.

The government, after today, everything will be turned upside down.

Li Jiulang came out again, bowed and handed over his hands: "In the box, I have collected the crimes and accounts of 120 people including Li Nichang, Zhu Kewen, Wang Maoqing and others from the Queen Mother Party over the years. I have been sorted with Xu Zisheng into each Your Majesty can directly check what a person's crime is."
