Emperor Taizong's Growth Plan

Chapter 249

(Excessive chapters, and because of the temporary shift today, the state is extremely bad, you can not book it. I will make up for it tomorrow...)
The palace crow gathers the colorful whip at dawn, and the sword peeps densely and arches too slightly.The sun is shining on the imperial bed, and the embroidered gun is bright, and the cloud returns to Luan and sees the green flag.

It was another day of the Great Court Meeting, and in the majestic Xuanzheng Palace, the voices of all the officials shouted long live.

Xiao Cheng was wearing a black imperial robe and a twelve-pronged crown on his head, sitting on the dragon chair, overlooking the palace, accepting the worship of all the court officials.

After the ceremony, the officials stood up slowly.

The official Cao Shangshu Zhang Hong immediately stepped out of the line, held up the memorial in his hand, and saluted:
"Qizou Your Majesty, Shangshu ordered Mr. Qu to ask for leave yesterday from Li Cao. The servant said that he was overwhelmed by the state affairs for several days. He had been undercover in bed for two days and could not get up to see things. We can only ask the minister to present the memorial to the emperor on his behalf. guilty of this."

At this time, all the ministers in the court heard Qu Cheng's confession from Minister Ling Qu Cheng, one by one looked at each other's faces, and felt that the storm was about to come, so they lowered their heads and pretended to be wood carvings.

Many of Qu Cheng's former subordinates in the court, as well as former officials of the Ma family and Tao family, couldn't help but feel uneasy at this moment.

Although Feng Bao saved Qu Cheng's face at the beginning, there was no big commotion when he took Qu Jing away.

But even so, it can't stand the fact that this matter has been fermented, and it has become too much trouble.With so many people talking about it, it is natural that Mr. Qu's involvement in a major case cannot be concealed.But within a day or two, all the officials in the court knew about it.

The big merchants in the middle school colluded with Cao Shangshu, the household in charge of the court's finances, and together embezzled the food and grass relief materials in the northern border.The most important thing is that they even colluded with Xia Guo to sell them privately for huge profits.

All these things can no longer be treated as ordinary cases.

But the most important thing is that the officials in the court do not know at all whether the current Qu family is inexplicably involved in this case. Is it true, or is the present His Majesty taking advantage of the problem to eliminate the influence of these three families in the court?

It was because of these concerns that the officials of the court did not dare to speak at this time, and lowered their heads to make their own clay and wood carvings.

Xiao Chengyin couldn't see the specific expression on his face behind the hang, and all the officials could only hear his very flat and calm voice, which sounded in the Xuanzheng Palace.

"Since this is the case, as soon as Shangshutai responds to the affairs, Li Cao Shangshu Zhang Zhao will take care of it for the time being!"

Zhang Zhao on the side had a serious expression and no joy, just walked forward slowly, cupped his hands and said:
"The minister obeys the order!"

Xiao Cheng glanced at all the officials in the court, and the pendant in front of him kept shaking, and said again:
"Masters, is there anything else that needs to be reported?"

After a long silence, one of the military officers walked out quickly and said loudly:
"Chenyue cavalry school Wei Bubo, there is a book to play!"

Yueqi Xiaowei is one of the eight school lieutenants under Zhi Jinwu's command.Although it is only the rank of school lieutenant, being responsible for commanding the cavalry under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhong Patrol Battalion, guarding the capital, and concurrently conducting conquests is a post second only to the Jiuqing in the court.

Today, under Xiao Cheng's reform, the great power of the state of Yun has been transferred to the Caos of Shangshutai.The power of soldiers and horses inside and outside Beijing is nominally under the control of Taiwei Tao Ai, but in fact, all of them are taken over and unified by trusted generals sent by Xiao Cheng.

The prestigious Yueqi school lieutenant in the past, now only has a little fame left.

"Sure!" Xiao Cheng said in a deep voice.

Yueqi school captain Bu Bo immediately took out a memorial from his bosom, and said loudly:
"The minister was entrusted by his former colleagues, now under the rule of Jianchang Mansion, and the county magistrate of Anlan County, to participate in the supervision of Yushi Hai Rui. He relied on his majesty's trust, his personality was arrogant and unruly, and he was self-sufficient. Regardless of the reason, he arbitrarily arrested government officials and detained them. In the prison, the government affairs of the Jianchang Prefecture government piled up and the state affairs were delayed. These words and deeds are unfavorable to the Holy Grace, and please punish them severely!"

As soon as this remark came out, several people from the court immediately came out and said in response:
"I have also received news that Hai Rui will be accused of abusing his power!"

"Seconded!"

"Relying on His Majesty's trust, Hai Rui regards the majestic Jianchang Mansion as his private residence, and reprimands all the officials, like slaves, who take what they give away. This person's words and deeds are so arrogant and domineering, it is intolerable. Please His Majesty punish this person severely!"

"Your Majesty, please deprive him of his position as a censor and escort him back to Beijing for trial!"

Xiao Cheng looked at the few people in the hall filled with righteous indignation, frowned, pretending to just remember, nodded and said:
"I remember Hai Rui, and now he is indeed the censor in charge of overseeing the affairs of the Jianchang Mansion..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Cheng suddenly paused slightly, and said in a puzzled tone:

"It's just that Hai Rui was angry in the government office. It should be Li Cao who received the memorial from the officials of Jianchang Mansion and handed it to me...Zhang Qing, Li Cao may have received the impeachment memorial ?”

Zhang Hong went out to salute, and replied:
"Qizou Your Majesty, my Li Cao has not received the impeachment memorial from the officials of Jianchang Mansion!"

Xiao Cheng nodded, then looked at the few people in the hall, and deliberately asked:
"Ah, if I remember correctly, several of them are military officers. Why is this faster than Li Cao receiving the impeachment memorial?"

Hearing Xiao Chengzhi's words, the few people who stood up were startled and froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.

After a while, someone stammered and said:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the former colleagues of the minister and others, just worked in Jianchang Mansion. It would delay the resettlement of refugees, so they entrusted me to wait..."

Hearing this, Xiao Cheng chuckled and said casually:

"So that's how it is... The duty of supervising the censors has already been resented by others. It's just the one-sided remarks of a few officials, and the court has not received the memorial from the Jianchang Mansion. I still know Hai Rui's temper. Although he is a bit more upright and tough, he is definitely not the arrogant and domineering person in your mouth, so it is not good to blame him for this!"

The meaning of Xiao Cheng's words was to stand up for Hai Rui.

The person who just spoke and participated in the performance was suddenly blocked and didn't know how to continue.

After all, they are not censors, so they don't have the right to play rumors.As for the impeachment memorial to Hai Rui from the Jianchang Mansion, it has not yet been handed over to the court because of various procedures.

Now that His Majesty has such an attitude of believing in Hai Rui, these people immediately don't know how to continue.

In desperation, the few people could only silence their flags and drums, planning to wait for the official document from Jianchang Mansion to arrive, and impeach them again.

Seeing that there were no more officials coming out at this time, Xiao Cheng said loudly:
"Hucao Shangshu Liu Yu colluded with Jintangfeng, a businessman in Beijing, embezzled relief supplies, and sold them privately in Xia State. His actions are serious. He ordered Shangshutai to punish Cao, Yushitai, and Dali Temple. The three divisions will be interrogated. Be sure to investigate this case. Anyone who obstructs the handling of the case will be severely punished!"

The chief officials of the third division who were named immediately stepped forward and shouted in unison:
"According to the order!"

Hearing the words, the officials of the court subconsciously raised their heads quietly, and glanced at His Majesty, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, his face hidden under the drape, looking down on the officials like a god, and his heart trembled.

The situation between North Korea and China, I'm afraid this time there will be another big change!
