Beginning to become the second ancestor

Chapter 246 Chapter 244
In the imperial palace, in the court hall, Yuan Hao sat on a high dragon chair, looking down, with a bit of majesty.

Su Changyuan stood in the middle of the hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Yaju is Li Dapeng's private place, but he has opened a romantic place and allowed the concubines of the captive ministers to receive guests. This is a serious crime!"

"My minister seconded the proposal! Li Dapeng should be dispatched to Youzhou!"

"Your Majesty, as an official of the imperial court, reading the books of sages, one should have a sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, but Li Dapeng does not. This matter must be severely punished, so that the hearts of the people in the world will be reassured!"

Yuan Hao looked at Li Dapeng below, and said in a deep voice: "Li Dapeng, do you have anything to say?"

Li Dapeng knelt in the hall and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, Yaju belongs to my humble minister, but I don't know the identities of those women, they were all sent by others."

Su Changyuan shook his head and said: "Li Dapeng, do they have a contract of sale? And who sent it? If there is no contract of sale, what is it if it is not a forced grabbing of women?"

Li Dapeng responded: "I have already mentioned the person who sent it..."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Hao yelled: "Enough! Li Dapeng, as the right servant of the Ministry of War, what you have done has violated the law of the Great Zhou. You will be deprived of your official position and will be tried by Dali Temple!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Su Changming responded and bowed to salute.

All the ministers bowed and saluted at the same time: "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, Eunuch Li came in from outside the main hall, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty, Song Yuanxuan, the supervisory censor of Jiangzhou, has come."

"Xuan!" Yuan Hao responded.

In the hall, everyone's eyes fell on Song Yuanxuan, while Li Tianning's eyes were cold and strange.

"I have seen Your Majesty!" Song Yuanxuan made a big gift.

Yuan Hao raised his voice and said: "Exemption! Song Yuanxuan, I asked you to investigate and deal with Yaju. According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the total amount of silver obtained is 170 million taels, and there are quite a few jewels. This is a great achievement!"

Song Yuanxuan raised his voice and said: "Your Majesty, I have recorded all the gains this time. This is the account book. Please look over it, Your Majesty."

Yuan Hao nodded, Eunuch Li took the ledger, walked all the way to the end of the hall, and handed it to him.

The account book is not very particular about remembering. The soldiers of the Habayashi Army are not professional people, but they have a bit of simplicity. Yuan Hao read it after a few glances.

Putting down the ledger, Yuan Hao said softly: "Very well done, this is the tax revenue of the two northern states for a year, filling the national treasury, I never thought that Li Dapeng, the right servant of the military department, would have so many treasures hidden in his home." silver.

For this item alone, having so much money for corruption is enough to kill him. When he goes back to the trial, he must dig out the person behind him. "

Song Yuanxuan smiled in his heart, Li Dapeng was doomed to such a fate when he said Yaju was his private place.

In any case, it is impossible for Li Dapeng to have a chance to escape this time, and there may even be a few accomplices of the grand master involved.

After all, it is impossible for Li Dapeng alone to accomplish these things.

Yuan Hao's eyes fell on Song Yuanxuan, and he smiled slightly: "Song Aiqing, I want to reward you this time, tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Your Majesty, as a courtier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I just did what I should do. Li Dapeng has forgotten the character of a literati and acts recklessly. He should indeed be punished.

The minister believes that this kind of behavior is enough to become a negative teaching material, which can be promoted in the academy, so that scholars can take it as a warning to eliminate the wind of Ming Dynasty. "

Song Yuanxuan raised his voice, the hall was silent, everyone looked at Song Yuanxuan, this move was too cruel.

If this matter is really spread as a negative teaching material, then Li Dapeng's reputation will be completely rotten, and it can even be said that it will be infamous for thousands of years.

I'm afraid that even the Li family will lose their heads because of this. For scholars, this is more terrifying than beheading.

At this moment, many people felt chills in their hearts, and their eyes fell on Li Tianning with a vague strangeness.

Li Dapeng's face was full of panic, and he raised his voice: "Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, and I am willing to plead guilty. Please be magnanimous and don't spread this matter as a negative teaching material."

Li Tianning knew in his heart that if he didn't do anything else, then the people in his party would probably be renounced.

"Your Majesty, Li Dapeng is certainly wrong, but he was once a Jinshi after all. If it is used as a negative teaching material to spread, it will damage the reputation of the imperial court."

Li Tianning raised his voice, Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows and said: "Song Aiqing, what the grand master said is justified. After all, Li Dapeng is the right servant of the Ministry of War, with a high position and authority. This matter should not be publicized, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I don't think so! I feel that punishing evil can promote good. We hide some dirty things for the sake of face, which is contrary to the policy of the world.

The Grand Master's solemnity is indeed for the sake of the imperial court, but it is not conducive to promoting His Majesty's virtuous name. For the sake of His Majesty's name, he can only give up Li Shilang's reputation. "

Song Yuanxuan raised his voice, and then changed the topic: "Your Majesty, I don't need to reward you, I just want to share your majesty's worries and let the world know your majesty's grand ambitions."

Li Tianpeng's eyes widened suddenly, and he raised his voice, "I beg Your Majesty to be merciful! I am willing to explain everything!"

"Song Yuanxuan, as a minister of His Majesty, you dare to question His Majesty's decision. You are really presumptuous!" Li Tianning raised his voice.

"The grand master's words are wrong!" Song Yuanxuan shook his head, and then said in a deep voice: "This minister did not question His Majesty, but as a supervisory censor, I should impeach and impeach him, this is my duty. "

"Song Aiqing, I'll think about this matter again and try Li Tianpeng's other accomplices first. It's just that you have made great contributions to this matter, and I can't let you down."

Yuan Hao said softly, and then changed the topic: "Xuanzhi, to make Song Yuanxuan, the supervisory censor of Jiangzhou, Wen Yibo, and reward the land of a county!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Song Yuanxuan was overjoyed and made a big gift.

Li Tianning clenched his fist. He couldn't stop this matter, otherwise Song Yuanxuan would definitely hold onto Li Dapeng as a negative example.

"Aiqing, what do you think of your fiefdom being arranged in the south of the Yangtze River?" Yuan Hao said softly, with a faint sense of relief in his eyes.

Song Yuanxuan shook his head, saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to want Tengzhouli County!"

"Li County?" Yuan Hao was startled, and then raised his voice: "Where is this county? Jing Aiqing, tell me!"

The person Yuan Hao called was Jingyang, the Minister of Hubu, so naturally he had to ask Hubu about such matters.

Jingyang looks very elegant, and the civil servants of this era are quite well-mannered.

"Your Majesty, Li County is the poorest county in Tengzhou. Before, there wasn't even a county magistrate, and the bandits were rampant. Only recently, someone wiped out the bandits and appointed a county magistrate.

Because Li County was too poor, it was exempted from taxes for ten years a few years ago. It is normal that His Majesty has never heard of it. The environment there is not good, and it is located by the sea. "

Jingyang raised his voice, Yuan Hao nodded and said: "Song Aiqing, since you are going to work in Jiangnan, you should choose a county in Jiangzhou. The county here is even exempt from taxes, which shows that it is extremely poor. .”

Song Yuanxuan raised his voice: "Your Majesty, I chose Li County to change the local poverty. The natural scenery there is good and suitable for farming. Therefore, I am confident that Li County will restore taxation. I hope Your Majesty will make it happen."

Li Tianning's eyes fell on his face, and he raised his voice: "Song Yuanxuan, as an official of the imperial court, you are engaged in breeding and opening a restaurant. This is really insulting."

　There are still two updates, hope everyone understands.
