Chapter 229 Countermeasures
"Mr. Lu, now you have a certain status in the palace, but you have only been in the palace for a few days? Apart from occasionally helping King Xing with advice and teaching the prince, do you have specific authority related to the palace? For example, have you read the accounts of the palace? ? Have you been asked about money and food dispatch? Or do you have the qualifications to sleep and eat with King Xing?"

After Zhu Hao's voice fell, Tang Yin almost wanted to say, you hate me, don't you know?
Is this an exposing of scars?

But thinking about it again, yes, I am indeed not a core member of the palace, and I am not beyond the scope of the staff.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes: "If you want to name Zhang Fengzheng, just say so, why demean me?"

Zhu Hao said: "It's just telling the truth, if there is something that doesn't please you, please forgive me, Mr. Lu."

Tang Yin naturally wouldn't care about Zhu Hao, he knew he would lose face before he came here, now Zhu Hao beat him back to his original shape with a stick, he was worthy of him.

"If you say that Yuan Changshi's goal is Zhang Fengzheng, then what do you mean...don't start with the son's studies for the time being, but lead the target to the treasury's money and food...I guess right?" Tang Yin began to find the trick .

Zhu Hao nodded and said with a smile, "Exactly."

"Before Mr. Lu came to the palace, the housekeeper of the palace was Zhang Fengzheng in name, but because of the existence of Chang Shi, Zhang Fengzheng only had the responsibility of guarding the money and food in the warehouse but had no authority to use it. However, Zhang Changshi and Yuan Changshi successively After leaving the palace for various reasons, Zhang Fengzheng truly took control of the treasury.

"The change of hands in the treasury means the change and transfer of personnel in relevant positions, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the alternation of the old and the new in the palace in the past six months.

"But if Yuan Changshi returns to Anlu, he must first obtain control of the treasury, and the old man who was taken down will also be activated again, and then use King Xing's trust to find an opportunity to attack Zhang Fengzheng."

Zhu Hao's analysis is well-founded.

Tang Yin frowned when he heard this, and his voice was low: "Hearing what you said, it seems that there are factional struggles everywhere in the palace, which has always been harmonious and peaceful... Are you making it so mysterious?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Do you think Yuan Changshi is Yi Yuzhi's generation? He hasn't returned to Anlu yet, Mr. Lu already felt the ruthlessness of his attack?"

Tang Yin was very powerless.

Zhu Hao was right again. Before Yuan Zonggao came back, the measures against him were implemented, and he was approved by King Xing. Now the palace has started to select new teachers in Huguang.

Zhu Hao continued: "So now Mr. Lu and Zhang Fengzheng have the same position. In my estimation, if Yuan Changshi wants to use Zhang Fengzheng as a weapon, the purchase of the telescope earlier is a good opportunity. Just do a little research and find two thousand Among the taels, five hundred taels were given to Zhang Fengzheng to purchase copper pipes and decorations, which obviously did not match the actual value.

"King Xing doesn't care about such trivial matters at all. The people below either get benefits from Zhang Fengzheng, or are frightened by Zhang Fengzheng's authority, so naturally they dare not report it, but this is precisely the best entry point to deal with Zhang Fengzheng.

"Besides, since I can hand over five hundred taels of silver to Zhang Zuo for bribery, the remaining one thousand and five hundred taels must be a lot for me. The palace lacks cost and craftsmanship supervision mechanisms, and Yuan Changshi will also be punished." Think I'm shoddy, or I opened my mouth to the Lion of the Palace when I made an offer..."

Tang Yin nodded: "Your boy will also be in trouble at that time."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "So, we are all in the same boat, so why should we divide each other at such a time?"

Tang Yin frowned slightly.

He had a bold idea in his mind, this kid wouldn't give Zhang Zuo five hundred taels of silver so readily from the beginning, even if Yuan Zonggao planned to come back one day, he would try to win Zhang Zuo to fight Yuan Zonggao together?
will not!

How can it be so magical!
Tang Yin quickly denied himself again.

hiss……

"That matter is very difficult. The purchase of the telescope is over. Unless you return part of the money you earned to the palace, report Zhang Fengzheng for corruption, or refuse to admit it...you must have other ways to deal with it?"

Tang Yin is not in a hurry now.

Although he already knew Zhu Hao's position, he couldn't guess how Zhu Hao would respond. This was purely crushing his IQ.

It's not that Tang Yin is not good, but that Tang Yin knows too little about the affairs of the palace, and he lacks a comprehensive view of the overall situation, and this method of using tricks to only ask about gains and losses without regard to consequences.

Zhu Hao said: "I have no way to explain the matter of the telescope. It's like sitting and waiting to die."

"what?"

Tang Yin felt very strange when he heard this.

You kid has been talking to me for a long time, just to tell me that you have considered everything from the beginning, but you can do nothing about the result?

Then you are talking fart!

Zhu Hao said: "But we can act in reverse..."

"Why act in reverse?"

Tang Yin became more and more interested.

It was a kind of advancement in thinking. After listening to Zhu Hao's talk, I felt that my outlook on life had to be reestablished, and my thoughts could also be sublimated.

It seems that it will also help me to conduct myself in the world in the future, especially in dealing with the relationship with the people in the palace.

"Do you think that when Yuan Changshi took control of the power of the royal treasury before, there was no shortage at all?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile, "I have been in the palace for a year, and what I saw was a group of moths in the palace. They used their hands to enrich their own pockets. They made the king benevolent and rarely cared about money and food. In order to ensure the control of the palace, Yuan Changshi, Turn a blind eye to those silverfish..."

Tang Yin frowned: "Impossible, right? You know all this?"

Of course Zhu Hao knew.

From entering the palace, seeing people like Li Shun, Hou Chun and Jian Maoying, to the chaos in the cafeteria of the palace, one knew how serious the extravagance and waste was in the palace.

The accounts are even more messed up, and no one cares about the small accounts.

In order to ensure the normal operation of the palace, Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming indulged in petty corruption and petty theft. This is also a means of leniently governing the government, just like governing a country. If it is too strict, all corruption and perverting the law will be punished , then everyone must be in danger, and what's more, they will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Therefore, since ancient times, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the officialdom system, the emperor has turned a blind eye to many corruption behaviors, which can be regarded as a manifestation of the use of imperial power.

Zhu Hao nodded: "If you don't believe me, Mr. Lu can go to Zhang Fengzheng, but if you mention it to him, he will definitely be very nervous, and he will tell you everything...you can ask him to check the accounts of the palace in the past few years, Find out the parts that don't match... If Mr. Lu doesn't know how to check, just hand over the account book to me, and I can check it out quickly."

Tang Yindao: "What did you do earlier? Yuan Changshi will return to the palace tomorrow, but now you ask me to go to Zhang Fengzheng to ask for an audit?"

Tang Yin almost gave up the pick.

It was too late for him to think of hugging the Buddha's feet when the matter came to an end.

However, Zhu Hao was very confident: "At this time, the whole palace is the most relaxed. After Yuan Changshi returned to the palace, he wanted to regain the power of the treasury. Do you think it can be done in a while?

"Because of Yuan Changshi's return, the newly promoted worms are afraid that they will be liquidated by Yuan Changshi's party, so they will fully cooperate with the audit, and Yuan Changshi's return date is not fixed, so it's strange if someone pays attention to you... Maybe you will still be there at that time. I thought you, Tang Bohu, wanted to occupy the nest!"

Tang Yin felt a sense of frustration.

This frustration comes from Zhu Hao's analysis, which is reasonable.

But I didn't think of it one step ahead.

"Before, Zhang Fengzheng was also afraid that Mr. Lu would replace him. Only when Yuan Changshi was about to arrive, he thought that he would need someone to help him, so he would treat you as his own... It was Zhang Fengzheng who knew that he was about to pay the account, and suddenly found that there was If there are many things that don’t match, you will be nervous and go to the doctor in a hurry. Even if you go to him a few days in advance, it won’t be as effective as going to him today or tomorrow.”

Tang Yin fell into deep thought when he heard this.

After a while, he said: "Checking the accounts seems to be a good way to deal with it, but what about the reason? For Xing Wang and Xing Wang's family, there must be an explanation, right?"

Zhu Hao said: "It's not easy to find the reason? Xingwang Mansion has to pay the imperial court military supplies worth two thousand taels of silver. This amount of money is not a small amount for Xing Wangfu. Then Zhang Fengzheng used the accounts to match the treasury's inventory. On the grounds of failure, he asked King Xing to conduct a self-examination of the accounts.

"On the surface, Zhang Fengzheng wanted to find out the illegal behavior of the people around him and destroy relatives righteously, but he pointed the finger at the chaotic accounts of the past few years... There is no need to involve Yuan Changshi, as long as there is a problem with the accounts in the past few years, and at that time The person in charge of the accounts was appointed by Yuan Changshi, and it is enough to indirectly explain that Yuan Changshi is responsible for poor supervision."

There is no need to prove that Yuan Zonggao was corrupt and perverted the law. In fact, Yuan Zonggao did not. You only need to prove that Yuan Zonggao made a mistake in managing the accounts. If you direct all the responsibilities in this direction, Yuan Zonggao's authority will be greatly reduced after he returns to the palace. It is also difficult to return to the past.

"Ah."

Tang Yin nodded heavily after pondering, and then asked again: "But even if it is proved that the accounting errors are related to Yuan Changshi's poor supervision in the past few years, Yuan Changshi is still in the palace and still has a high position and authority. It seems that there is nothing he can do about it. !"

Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Lu, it is impossible to become a big fat man with one bite. Yuan Changshi used to advise King Xing in the palace, how much credit did he make? Could it be that our purpose is to make him notorious?

"We just want to let him back out of difficulties. What we want is to maintain a delicate balance in the palace. It's not that one side gains power while the other completely collapses. We will live in harmony with Yuan Changshi in the future."

"you……"

Tang Yin didn't know how to evaluate Zhu Hao at this moment.

"After Yuan Changshi returned to Anlu, he found that his influence in the palace was not as good as before. How many years can he be in the officialdom at his age? When he is old, he will be an inspector, or he will go further to the left and right. Even if the envoy resigns from office, even if he goes to Anlu to return to the fields for the elderly, and is favored by Prince Xing's Mansion, wouldn't it be good to contribute to the waste heat of Prince Xing's Mansion?

"Don't you think that Yuan Changshi came back to Xingwang's mansion this time to fight with others? Sorry, in my opinion, Yuan Changshi is a Confucian who does not seek merit but seeks no fault. When he found himself in the palace The era of covering the sky with one hand is over, and you will know how to measure yourself and leave with dignity."
