Huang Jue, after three marriages

Chapter 615 Open Account

On the seventh day of October, Shao Zhengqing of Dali Temple gave a performance, and another store in the Black Heart Grain Store had identified the main messenger.

That grain store was bought by Hai Shilang in March, but the ownership was not transferred at that time, but the name of the original shopkeeper was hung, but the actual operator had already been replaced by the Hai family's own servant. , Hai Shilang privately adjusted the grain from the granary specially stored for labor rations by the Ministry of Industry, first transferred it to another grain store that he bought in March, and then smuggled it from that grain store to the Black Heart Grain Store. They are sold at high prices in grain stores.

Later, when the incident happened, Hai Shilang sent people to kill those people who were in charge of the operation, and cut off the connection between the two grain stores.

And this arrest and thorough investigation not only caught the person who hid the grain store, but also found the real account books of the black heart grain store, together with the fact that Hai Shilang instigated people to kill people to silence them, the witness evidence was conclusive.

After Shao Zhengqing finished speaking, King Xian came out again, and found out that Hai Shilang used the Huaihe River to build embankments ten years ago. Twenty thousand.

King Xian also provided detailed expenditures related to the Ministry of Households, as well as detailed files from the Ministry of Industry on the repair of the Huai River embankment ten years ago.

The emperor pronounced the verdict at that time, and all the families of Hai's family were copied and executed.

Compared with the Xu family and the Zheng family, the three crimes with the same punishment surprised the people in the court for a moment, and then someone thought that the Hai family is from the Jinhua Hai family, and the Jinhua Hai family is still alive. With the eldest princess with the highest seniority in the royal family, she can understand.

Afterwards, the virtuous king made a statement again, saying that now is the critical moment for the payment of autumn grain and taxes, and now the accounts of the household department have been almost checked, and the rest can be sent back to give each department a month's time to do it again. Check, open the account first, so that the tax can be put into the treasury, and the funds of the frontier army can be transferred out quickly.

As soon as the virtuous king said this, there was a small surge in the court.

Others don’t know yet, but the people in the household department do know, and they are given a month to self-examine, so if there are any loopholes, they can take the opportunity to fill up the hole with money, at least the crime will be lighter many.

At that time, Master Ji's face was a bit ugly.

At this time, Prime Minister Han stood up and said that it was not a good idea to have only two prime ministers in the cabinet all the time, and suggested that Chen Hanming be appointed as prime minister.

As soon as this proposal came out, the people in the court suddenly started humming again, and Mr. Niu came out and said, Chen Hanming just cheated into marrying Rong Guogong's mansion a while ago, how can such a person be the prime minister?

Han Xiang conveniently said that Chen Hanming had already expelled the daughter who did such a wrong thing from the clan, and now she has been sentenced to five years of hard labor and sent out. Killing relatives with righteousness should be a model.

Fang Xiang followed suit, as did Lian Yun Shangshu and He Shangshu, and two-thirds of the Manchu officials agreed with this proposal.

But the Xian Wang didn't say a word, only when the emperor asked each other, he said: "The current situation of the cabinet is indeed inappropriate. If Chen Hanming is allowed to join the cabinet, then please let Mr. Gao come back as soon as possible."

The emperor nodded immediately, and ordered Mr. Gao to take office in Beijing immediately, and Chen Hanming to join the cabinet at the same time.

At that time, the court was full of joy, and the virtuous king said again, according to the accounts found out so far, the two servants of the household department and the two Lang Zhong were guilty, and they asked the emperor for approval.

The emperor said yes.

Before the smiles on the four people's faces disappeared, their official hats were taken off and the guards tied their hands behind their backs and took them down.

At that time, the four people shouted for being wronged, but seeing the emperor's face, no one dared to speak out.

Regardless of whether it was the Xu family, the Zheng family or the Hai family, the witnesses and physical evidence presented by the Xian Wang were all ironclad evidence. Now that they could say that the four were guilty in court, they probably had something in their hands.

Now speaking for those four...

After the court dispersed that day, the Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Punishment naturally went to arrest the four people and ransack their homes, while the virtuous king returned to the Ministry of Accounts to open accounts, and at the same time brought several people up to temporarily take care of the autumn tax and border army funds, etc. Urgent business.

Among them were two people, one was Ling Juefeng, and the other was the former head of the Taxation Department.

The account department opened the account, and the frontier army's money was the first to start raising.

And on the ninth day of October, the Jiang family, who was born as a commoner and was promoted to a fifth-rank general because of his military exploits, sent a betrothal gift to Chang Ningbo's mansion.

Immediately, no one talked about the house raiding, the Hai family, and the people all over the capital came out to watch.

In the past few days, this marriage has been mentioned a lot in teahouses and restaurants, and the stories of those border wars have also made people cry so much that when the four families were ransacked, the people onlookers applauded loudly.

Inspired by this story (diaosi counterattacks and marries a noble girl), many men have signed up to join the army.

Therefore, although the Jiang family's betrothal gift was only 58 sets, and it seemed that all the emperor's rewards had been used, it also attracted loud applause from the audience on both sides.

Yun Qinghong sat in the box on the second floor of the teahouse, looked down from the window, looked at the beaming recruiting team, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

"This is Chang Ning Bo's Mansion." A man in his early thirties sitting opposite him said with a smile.

Although he was named a fifth-rank general, this General Jiang was born as a commoner, and his family was barely adequate. Changning’s mansion was not only a hundred-year-old mansion, but the uncle’s two brothers were also in charge of the Wucheng Bingma Division. It is impossible for the prostitute and Lun's family to get along together, but Chang Ningbo's mansion has already established this relative.

Yun Qinghong smiled faintly.

In his previous life, General Jiang was just a school lieutenant, so Miss An San also married?

At that time, he also laughed at Miss Ansan with Yao Shi, and ridiculed Su Yue when she agreed with her, but in the following ten years, he heard a lot of envy for Miss Ansan from some people. language.

Not to mention that Jiang Xiaowei has been promoted to the North City Guard General who holds the real power, but even after being married for so many years, Jiang Xiaowei has always only had Miss An San alone, and there are no concubines in the family. There is harmony and love between the two. Three children were born in a row, and Miss Ansan really lived a comfortable life.

Later, when the Beirong people went south, General Jiang defended the city gate and died in a bloody battle. Miss An San took over the defense of the city gate in military uniform.

Only then did he really understand what a husband and wife are.

Husband and wife, not only should they be on par with each other, but they should also be able to connect with each other and not be afraid of living and dying together.

The man laughed, turned around and said, "You have already made up your mind, let's follow the virtuous king? What about your father?"

The smile on Yun Qinghong's face subsided, and he said in a low voice: "Don't worry about my father, he dare not disobey the emperor's holy will."

"You mean, the emperor will...?" the man asked in surprise.

No matter how capable King Xian is, King Kang is the emperor's own son.

"Brother Wu, I have waited ten years for the purpose of not only becoming an official, but also wanting to do real things. I don't want to be famous in history, but at least I have to be worthy of my heart!" Yun Qinghong lowered his eyes and put his finger on the tea bowl. Going up lightly, his voice was soft but with a clang: "Everyone in the capital knows that my Song Dynasty almost destroyed the country. If we still can't tell the difference between good and bad, why should we be officials? Moreover, although the emperor Cowardly and ignorant of government affairs, and soft-hearted, but the emperor is a person who knows good and bad."

In just over a month, the virtuous king was able to straighten out the bad debts of the household department, and judging from the current methods, he was also decisive and courageous, even worse than in his previous life.

Such a person can bring Da Song to glory.

Although the emperor is not good in every way, he is indeed a person who understands the overall situation and is selfless.

In his previous life, the emperor didn't know about Xie Jue. In this life, judging from the current trajectory and the emperor's temperament, the overall situation can be seen.

Even if there is a problem with the overall situation, he will do his best to help.

That night, after Xie Jue came to see him in person and had a heart-to-heart talk, his last worry dissipated.

What's more, just don't mention this, in order to make the life of that Xian Wangfei more smooth...

He didn't swallow his anger for nothing in the past two years. With his achievements in water control and experience in his previous life, he made friends with those who are not too many in the imperial court today.

These people's official positions are not high, and they are distributed in the six hardest places, but they are all very capable.

Half of them were the last to stay in the capital in their previous life, and together with him they turned the capital into a defensive city to assist Zhao Hao in defending the city, and the other half followed Su Yue in mobilizing food, grass and weapons and arranging for the people to retreat.

And the principal who engaged the Su family was the brother-in-law of the one in front of him, who was also a rare envoy in the household department. Unfortunately, he had been suppressed by Cai Bing in his previous life, depressed and frustrated, and died a year before the capital was besieged. Later, the capital was besieged, and it was the son of the chief who took out the account books and hiding places left by him, so that they could mobilize those resources as quickly as possible.

A few days ago, the man in front of him came to him and said that his brother-in-law was very scared, and that his brother-in-law was not a bad person, but Cai Bing was in power, and everything he passed was always dirty, and his brother-in-law was very powerful. Looking at the ledgers transferred by King Xian, we can see that King Xian has already sorted out the big accounts of the household department, and the remaining detailed accounts are nothing more than a matter of time, and it will be very soon. It will be over.

At that time, the person in front of me was very emotional, saying that his brother-in-law is actually very timid, and he would never dare to do things that are corrupt and perverting the law, but if you don't take it when others take it, you will not only be rejected by others, but will also be manipulated by others. death, so he can only take it, but he kept an eye out and made a set of secret account books himself.

As soon as he heard it, he made a suggestion to the person in front of him, asking his brother-in-law to go to the Su family.

When he inquired about Su Yue in this life, although there was no trace of Su Yue, it also let him know that Su Yue and Rong Rong had a good relationship, and Rong Rong and the girl from the Su family were good friends. If you make a move, the matter will be passed on to King Xian.

At this time, as long as the virtuous king is not stupid, he should know what to do.

It's just that he didn't expect that King Xian would meet the principal so soon, and also looked for him that night.

At that time, he handed over to Xie Jue the evidence of what Hai Shilang had done in his hand for some time.

Now it seems that Xie Jue is far wiser than he thought.

"By the way, tell me, why did the virtuous king let Chen Hanming join the cabinet?" The man thought for a while and asked again.

Yun Qinghong smiled lightly and said: "Because, there must be no fewer than three cabinet members."

The happy days of the Han family are coming to an end.
