Yan Yan Yugui

Chapter 326

According to Dasheng's custom, after the Lantern Festival, the holiday is over. Because of the big wedding of the three princes, the emperor gave him an extra three days of vacation.On the morning of the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, all officials returned to court.

Unlike in the past, the first time to go to court at the beginning of the new year was to be a mao. Everyone was polite, creating a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

As soon as the court came to power this year, the Yushitai directly moved to the cannon.

The first shot was fired at Lin Langzhong, who had resigned from office.

Dr. Shen Lin took bribes, practiced favoritism, and sold off his bribes before resigning to clear his suspicions. For such officials, they must not be let go just because they have resigned. They must be investigated to the end and severely punished by the law.

Moreover, the officials of Yushitai also produced evidence, a copy of the stolen goods that Lin Langzhong asked his younger brother to sell, and the price list totaled as much as 16.

Man Chao was shocked, Doctor Lin is so stupid?Taking some benefits and being taken advantage of?So Lin Langzhong resigned because of this?That would be even more stupid, 16 taels would be enough?It really is Qingliu, stupid Qingliu.

Take it as a warning!The gifts received during the Chinese New Year must be properly disposed of.

After self-examination, it is necessary to attack in groups.

The more indignant you are, the more you can prove your innocence, right?
Spit flew across the hall for quite a while.

The courtiers calmed down, and it was the emperor's turn to make a decision.

The emperor's eyelids were lifted, and he looked at the old ten who was not looking too well.

Xiao Qian coughed weakly twice and stepped out.

"Master Ma, the 16 taels of stolen money you mentioned was handed over to the Shuntian Mansion by Mr. Lin before he resigned from office, and filled into the treasury. This matter has also been reported to His Majesty. The reason Lin Langzhong resigned is because of Mrs. Lin." The deceased Lin Langzhong was very distressed, he often couldn't sleep at night, he felt powerless and didn't want the vegetarian corpse to delay the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, so he resigned."

Lord Ma was dumb, he looked at Xiao Qian and then at the emperor.

The emperor said slowly: "Gu Gu has known about this for a long time. Lin Langzhong has just recovered from the grief of his brother's death, and also suffered from the pain of losing his wife, so Gu Gu allowed him to resign from office."

The courtiers suddenly felt a little pain in the face, and the saliva just now was in vain. Lin Langzhong was really clean, and he handed over the 16 silver.

However, the reason why Lin Langzhong resigned because he could not bear the pain of losing his wife is open to question.

The real reason for being downgraded several levels by the emperor and not being able to stay in the Ministry of Rites is the real reason!
The censors at Yushitai fell silent, and the first shot was a squib.

They have handed over the stolen money to the national treasury, and they have passed the Ming Dynasty with the emperor, so naturally it is not easy to pursue it.

Fortunately, the censors all have noble and indomitable qualities. If one shot fails, they will make persistent efforts to fire the second shot.

The second bombardment was Xiao Qian.

Mr. Ma once again went out to participate in Xiaoqian's use of public money to distribute New Year's gifts to Shuntian Mansion at the end of last year.

It is human nature to give out benefits during the New Year. The emperor will give annual gifts to all the officials, and the ministries will also give some annual gifts, but they are all just for fun. Think about it. I am the emperor of the imperial court, and the annual gifts I get are not as good as those in the yamen. Gatekeeper, are you angry?
Yushitai also listed the annual gift list issued by Shuntian Mansion.

This time, there were not so many people who agreed. After all, Xiao Qian is now the emperor's most important prince. Last year, because of the Xinlong bank incident, all the civil and military officials put on a stance of not wanting to die. What happened?Therefore, Pen Xiao had to be cautious.

Seeing that there were only a few people agreeing, King Jing said, "Lord Ma, isn't it just some rice, grain, wine and meat, how much is it worth? Is this also worth a visit?"

Xiao Qian heard it in his ears and sneered in his heart. It seemed that Prince Jing was speaking for him, but in fact he added fuel to the fire.

Mr. Ma said righteously: "Last year, the Ministry of Households allocated [-]% more funds to Shuntian Mansion than in previous years. The extra funds were used for the daily expenses of Shuntian Mansion, not to buy people's hearts. There are fixed numbers for the annual rites, and the annual rites of Shuntian Mansion have already violated the regulations, so I would like to ask Mr. Xiao to explain."

Xiao Qian had no choice but to go out again, and sighed: "Master Ma, you really listened to the wind and rain when you heard about the typhoon. Who told you that the annual ceremony issued by Shuntian Mansion used the money from the public? That's Lu Your Excellency thinks that Shuntian Mansion has worked really hard for one year, and has done a lot of things, so he pays out of his own pocket to reward everyone. This mansion didn’t pay for a copper coin. It’s not that this mansion doesn’t want to pay it. If we have money, we would like to reward everyone. Subordinate, it's a pity..."

Xiao Qian accidentally said what was on his mind, he is really poor, and he has a big family!

But as soon as the words came out, Xiao Qian realized that the words were inappropriate, and cried poorly in front of all civil and military officials. Isn't this slapping his father in the face?Can't help but glance at Father Huang anxiously.

Seeing that the father frowned, he seemed unhappy.

Xiao Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Master Ma, if you don't believe me, you can ask the household department to check the accounts of Shuntian Mansion."

The emperor was indeed unhappy, but it wasn't because Lao Shi was crying for poverty, he had been to Lao Shi's mansion, such a small mansion, even the mansions of officials below the fifth rank in the court, were more grand than Lao Shi's.The tenth old man was devoted to handling the case, and never put his mind on reaping benefits, relying on that meager salary, it would be difficult to give his sweetheart some decent presents.

The emperor blamed himself for not taking good care of the tenth child.

But I hate this Ma Yushi even more. The case of Xinlong Bank last year was Ma Yushi's favorite. I thought that last time I took off his official hat and asked him to go home and reflect. Ma Yushi should have a long memory. Who knows it still looks like this.

Forcing the old ten to reveal his shortcomings in public.

Mr. Ma didn't expect that the cannon went wrong again. Who would have thought that there are such generous people these days?Paying out of their own pockets to give annual gifts to their subordinates, each annual gift is more than 30 taels, and there are about [-] people in Shuntian Mansion!

Looking at the emperor's displeased expression, he suddenly felt that the clouds were overwhelming.

Secretly said: "Oops."

Sure enough, the emperor snorted coldly: "Lord Ma, the purpose of setting up the Yushitai alone is to spread the word and let you hear about things, but not to let you gossip and abuse power. , the effect is not good!"

Master Ma knelt down hastily: "Your Majesty, I was negligent and guilty."

The emperor didn't pay any attention to him. Today is the first day he will go to court, and he will not be dealt with for the time being. Otherwise, he will be demoted to the censor at the beginning of the new year, which is not a good omen.

But he didn't ask Lord Ma to get up either.

The courtiers felt sorry for each other, and it was not so easy to join Xiao Qian.

Next, the officials of various ministries came out in turn to report some small and big things. The Gao Shangshu of the Ministry of War reported that during the Chinese New Year, Beidi people were restless and repeatedly violated the border, burned, killed and robbed. The emperor asked General Zheng to return to the northern border early to ensure the peace of the northern border.

Xiao Qian said in his heart: Zheng Peixin is in a hurry to go back.

The so-called Beidi people's invasion was probably negotiated by Zheng Peixin and the Beidi people.

The emperor said: "What is there to be afraid of? General Zheng has always managed the army well. I believe that even if General Zheng is far away in the capital, the northern border is as solid as gold. Let General Zheng stay in the capital and reunite with his family more.”

The proposal of the Minister of War was rejected.
