Chapter 204 The Conspiracy in the Imperial College

Knowing the reason for the usury in the Guozijian, Yang Reform felt a lot easier. This matter is not what he imagined. Some people are bold enough to do lawless things in their own name.

The cause of this incident should be caused by the two pig heads of Dian Bu, Jian Cheng in the Imperial College. I don’t know why the two of them agreed to use IOUs instead of money. Logically speaking, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible. , because this Guozijian, as the highest educational institution in the Ming Dynasty, cannot be done by these two people arbitrarily.

Even if the chief officer of the Imperial College is absent and the new chief officer has not arrived, these two guys should not be in charge. This kind of matter is decided by the emperor and the ministers of the current dynasty, and the emperor is in charge. Liu Jishan actually operates it. Maybe let two low-level officials make trouble inside?The courage of these two petty officials is absolutely impossible!Yang Reform has also become interested in the cause of this incident, who must have such courage!There must be something strange in this, and there is a reason.

Li Ruolian seemed to be struggling in his heart all the time, and kept looking at the door.After hesitating again and again, he finally seemed to have made some kind of determination. He knelt down and said, "I report to Your Majesty that I have committed a crime and failed to report the situation to Your Majesty in time. I implore Your Majesty to punish..."

Yang Reform looked at Li Ruolian pleading guilty, and felt that maybe he had guessed correctly. This Li Ruolian might really have something to do with this matter, maybe it was really the situation he thought.

"Li Ruolian, what's your crime?" Yang Reform asked.

Li Ruolian was sweating on the tip of her nose, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the guilty officials were also involved in the matter of the Guozijian raising people to issue IOUs..." Li Ruolian seemed to have let go of all the energy in his body after saying these words, and his confident aura, got smaller.

Yang Reform sighed in his heart, this matter, as expected, he guessed right, his people had something to do with this matter, maybe he set up a trap to let those people get into it, and then all had to borrow money from usury, This is probably why Li Ruolian asked herself for 120 million taels of money in one breath, right?Yang Reform admires Li Ruolian, and is also frightened by his madness. Maybe he is a bit too kind in this house!
"In this way, you were the one who planned the issue of IOUs in the Guozijian's juren promotion? Let's open a hole first and put many doubtful juren into the net. After all the juren are imprisoned and included in the list, Then I regretted it, said that the IOU was not good, and then forced people to borrow your usury? Is it like this? I’m not wrong, right?” Yang Reform thinks that this world is really amazing. You can openly lend usury on the spot.

Li Ruolian's clean forehead, this time, was sweating, and Li Ruolian was not as confident as before. The emperor's words were like a knife, and it hurt him a lot!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the guilty minister really contributed to this matter, and indeed participated in the design of forcing people to borrow money..." Li Ruolian admitted it straightforwardly.

Yang Reform was speechless, he didn't see that his energy as a hundred households was quite great!Quite awesome!To be able to command the people of Guozijian, and to count many Juren, and force many Juren to borrow usury, what kind of "superior" is this in the Ming Dynasty!I'm afraid this is the extreme use of the four words "fox fake tiger prestige".Yang Reform was both helpless and admired.

Maybe, I am too indulgent to my subordinates and my "insiders", let my "insiders" be too arrogant, abuse my trust and name too much, maybe, on that day, it will be a day. A ticking time bomb!

Yang Reform is silent, what should we do about this matter?Li Ruolian is a "person of my own" discovered by myself. If I abolish him now, then the signboard of "talent" that I treat is considered a failure. In the future, who will dare to follow me?If Li Ruolian is not dealt with, how will this matter end?The courtiers are afraid that they will use this incident as a weapon to attack themselves. At that time, they will not be able to eat and walk around!It's not easy to be an emperor!It's not easy to be the emperor!It's just to make a few coins, so this kind of thing comes out.

Just when Yang Reform was silent and felt that there was something wrong with his character, Li Ruolian said again after pleading guilty: "Your Majesty, I still have something to say."

Yang Reform looked at Li Ruolian and found that Li Ruolian had regained his previous spirit and was full of confidence.

"What do you have to say?"

"I want to report to Your Majesty, I want to say that although I participated in this matter, the idea of ​​asking someone to issue an IOU was not the idea of ​​the guilty minister. The guilty minister just took advantage of this idea..." Li Ruolian burst into a shocking Insider.

"What, you didn't come up with this idea, who came up with it? What kind of supervisor? Master?" Yang Reform felt that the joints in it were really complicated.Things are far from as simple as I thought.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, this idea was not made by the minister, but it is even less likely to be the idea of ​​Lu Jiancheng and Tang Zhuzhu. This idea, it is said, was the idea of ​​a certain important minister in the court..." Li Ruolian spoke and said A half.

"A certain important minister in the court? That one? How did you come up with this idea?" Yang Reform thought that this matter was really strange. The court was counting on this to supervise money, and someone actually played tricks in it. , break, did I really meet a group of "teammates like pigs"?Yang Reform thought sadly.

Li Ruolian said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is said that he seems to be an important minister with the surname Shi, is it true that the criminal minister does not know, and the criminal minister has no actual evidence,..."

A minister surnamed Zhou?Yang Reform turned to look at Wang Chengen.

Wang Cheng'en said: "Your Majesty, Shi Fenglai is the head of the cabinet."

Shi Fenglai?Of course, Yang Reform knew this name. He might not be able to remember the few people in his cabinet, but the chief assistant of the cabinet, the person corresponding to Wang Chengen, was under one person and above tens of thousands of people. How could the guy I met not know?
he?Will he stop the Imperial College from collecting money?Why?Yang Reform couldn't figure out why.Is he the "pig-like teammate"?
"You're not mistaken? Are you sure it's him?" What's the reason why he made such a big effort to do this?You know, if this matter is revealed, he, the chief minister of the cabinet, may not be able to do it.He is now under one person, under tens of thousands of people, and it is impossible to rise again. He is already the top of the people. What else is worth taking such a big risk for him?Is it the undercover agent of wild boar skin?No!It is impossible for wild boar skin to give him an emperor.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the guilty minister has no basis or evidence. I can't be sure. I only know that the contacts with Lu Jiancheng and the others are through intermediaries, and they are not directly contacted with Lu Jiancheng. Therefore, the guilty minister cannot It must have been done by Elder Shi Ge..." Li Ruolian was not sure about this either.

"You're not sure? Then, what exactly is going on about asking people to issue IOUs? Please explain to me the detailed process." Yang Reform found that there might be a conspiracy in it. Big conspiracy.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the thing is like this. At the beginning, the guilty minister was just putting loan sharks outside. Although he was looking for someone who wanted to be promoted in the Imperial Academy, he never thought of coming to the Imperial Academy to release loan sharks... But, later Suddenly it came out that the Guozijian could use IOUs and no more loan sharks. The guilty minister was very annoyed at this matter, thinking that this was something that would hurt His Majesty, so he approached Supervisor Lu who allowed to use IOUs to enter the prison at that time. I want to ask Cheng and Master Tang to clarify, because I feel that this matter is strange. His Majesty did not allow Guozijian Jujian to use the IOU to pay off the debt. Why did Lu Jiancheng and Master Tang dare to make a claim and change the rules? ..." When Li Ruolian said this, she became very calm and composed, and looked up at the emperor to see if the emperor was listening to her.

"Interesting, interesting, keep talking, keep talking..." Yang Reform was very interested in the "gossip" in it.

"...The criminal minister approached Lu Jiancheng and asked him why he could use the IOU to pay off the debt. The criminal minister said that His Majesty had never made such a decree. He was going to beheaded like this.... The criminal minister frightened him like this, and Lu Jiancheng said The truth came out, and according to him, there were big figures in the court who said that because of the sudden incident, Juren Jujian couldn’t afford a lot of money at the moment. In the future, I will return it, saying that it is a convenience for the people, and that this is treating scholars well. Therefore, Lu Jiancheng and the others believed it, so they made their own decisions, and the next day, they had an excuse to go to prison So, all of a sudden, many people were imprisoned..." Li Ruolian swallowed.

Yang Reform sat on the chair, tilted his head, and listened carefully to Li Ruolian's story. He kept tapping his fingers on the armrest of the chair. This incident was really weird!Evil door.

"..., the sinner asked Lu Jiancheng, asked him about this matter, is there any above-mentioned text? Lu Jiancheng said no, according to him, it was just a servant who came to him with Shi Ge's old post, saying it was It’s not easy to write things in private, let Lu Jiancheng and the others do it, the benefits are indispensable, so Lu Jiancheng didn’t worry about him, so he believed it and followed this person’s instructions..."

"Aren't that so-called Lu Jiancheng and that so-called Tang Zhuzhu brainless? They dare to do such unwritten things? Aren't they afraid of killing their heads?" Yang Reform was very curious. Is the book a pig?How dare you do such a mindless thing?If there is some text as a proof, they can't be blamed for this matter. Now, a servant can make them do this with a post. It seems that the IQ of these two pigs is really not good!
Li Ruolian took a peek at the emperor, and found that the emperor didn't seem to be angry, so he said: "Return to your majesty, this matter may have something to do with Lu Jiancheng and the situation of the Tang master... because they are involved in the Wei case..., According to the present...they may be dismissed..." Li Ruolian spoke in a hesitant way.

Two petty officials involved in the Wei case?Could it be that he agreed to such absurd request in order to keep his official position and ingratiate himself with Shangfeng?

"You mean, the two of them may be dismissed because of their involvement in the Wei case, so the ministers in the court promised them that if they act like this, they will be exempted from dismissal?" Yang Reform made a guess.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, yes, according to Lu Jiancheng and the master Tang, they have obtained the promise of the important officials in the court. If they follow through, they can be exempted from dismissal, or they can be transferred from the Imperial College. The chief clerks are afraid that the new officials will attack them after they take office, so they are eager to find a way out... They feel that since this matter has the promise of the important ministers in the court, there are very legitimate reasons for this matter, and the Imperial College has no initiative. Officer, even if you make a mistake at that time, you can still have a reason to cover it up, so I agreed to this matter..."

Listening to Li Ruolian's explanation, Yang Reform seemed to have seen two cases involving Wei, and he was in constant panic. In order to keep his official position, he did not hesitate to take great risks to do such a thing that would kill his head. They were overwhelmed, dazzled by the interests, and didn't think about the consequences of this matter. Of course, maybe they felt that there was a good excuse for this matter as a shield. Even if they made a mistake, the emperor would not take them for granted. So, because after all, this matter is for the convenience of scholars and scholars all over the world. This premise is good, and it is impossible to blame them.In their view, the benefits and sacrifices of this matter are very worthwhile, and they will be dismissed if they do nothing. Try it, maybe you can catch a "life-saving" straw.

"So, they took the risk of offending me and exceeded their authority to allow people to use excuses to go to prison? These two pigs are really deadly! Greed has blinded intelligence!" Yang Reform said to the two people who made a mess of the Imperial College. I don't catch a cold very much, whether to kill or not is just a matter of thought.

Li Ruolian saw that the emperor said that he wanted to kill these two people, so he quickly spoke good words to them, saying: "Report to Your Majesty, in this matter, Lu Jiancheng and Master Tang are actually victims as well."

"Are they also victims? Hehe, the people related to the Wei case are probably flatterers. How can they be victims if they did such a thing in order to keep their official positions?" Yang Reform looked at Li Ruolian with a smile. Guy, one of his feet is stuck in the sand, and he still wants to pull those two pig-like guys up.

Li Ruolian is also very courageous, organized his words, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I was very annoyed when I learned that the Guozijian can accept IOUs. If this is the case, how will the guilty minister's usury be released? Isn't it To live up to His Majesty's expectations, the minister found Lu Jiancheng and asked him about the details... At first, this Lu Jiancheng seemed to have considerable confidence in that important minister in the court. He was willing to tell the truth and waited wholeheartedly for the important officials in the court to rescue him. Later, the criminal officials threatened him and pointed out to him that the important officials in the court who promised him had never contacted him at all. That's all, if something happens in the future, as long as this important official of the court says that there is no such thing, he will have to take the blame, offend His Majesty, and the consequences of offending the court may not be as simple as dismissal... After some enlightenment by the guilty minister, Lu Jiancheng finally woke up,...it turns out that the important minister of the imperial court promised this matter, and someone really made a trick out of it. This elder Shi Ge didn't know about it at all, and the person who held Zhou Ge's old post couldn't be found at all. When it was time..., Lu Jiancheng and the others realized that they had been deceived. So, Lu Jiancheng and the others were also victims."

"Hehe... These two pig-headed guys really have a simple mind! One servant and one post can make them submit and do things without regard for their lives. Li Ruolian, how dare you intercede with them? If it wasn't for the fact that Li Ruolian was on his own and was doing important things for him, Yang Reform would have lost his temper at this time.

Hearing the emperor's gloomy words, Li Ruolian unconsciously bent down even lower. It is impossible to say that she is not afraid, but it seems that Li Ruolian is still very sure, and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it is not the guilty minister who gave them The two intercede, but the minister feels that this matter is profitable, and he can use the scheme. Anyway, the Guozijian already has an IOU, so it is better to make a mistake and use the IOU as an excuse to force the eunuchs to borrow the usury from the guilty minister. , In this way, the guilty officials released more loan sharks, and they could also collect more money. Therefore, the later criminal officials entered the Guozijian to release loan sharks. This incident was precisely the criminal officials and Lu Jiancheng The result of the discussion..."

It seems that in order to save their lives, the two pigs of the Imperial College have turned to cooperate with Li Ruolian.I'm afraid that Li Ruolian has taken a fancy to Li Ruolian's identity as lending loan sharks for the emperor, and wants to curry favor with the emperor, otherwise, it is impossible for the loan sharks to be placed in the lobby of the Imperial College.

"Hehe, that is to say, the Imperial Supervisor Lu Jiancheng and Tang Zhubu have already taken refuge in you? Hehe, in the special period when the Imperial Academy has no sacrificial wine, no secretary of business, and new and old officials alternate, you can calmly put seals in the Imperial Academy Money?" Yang Reform still said with a smile, this Li Ruolian's courage is not ordinary fat, and his means are not ordinary powerful.

After listening to the emperor's words, Li Ruolian could not bear to accept the statement that court officials took refuge in him. If it was true, then he had no other choice but to rebel.He kept kowtowing and explained: "I'm guilty! I'm guilty! How dare I let the court order officials to join the guilty minister? I'm guilty of death! Death penalty!"

Looking at the guy who hit his head on the ground, Yang Reform was angry that this guy was too courageous, but, thinking about it, this IOU issue may have hit the guy's culprit, if Juren didn't need to borrow money If he can be imprisoned, who will he give the usury to?Didn't you force him to die?As the saying goes, blocking someone’s way of making money is like killing one’s parents. This time, the matter of the IOU is not only blocking his way of making money, but also blocking his future. It didn’t force him into a corner. Let the two pigs cooperate and put the usury in the lobby of the Imperial College.

Yang Reform is a little bit considerate of this guy, and the people who work here are also difficult for him!It's just that I don't know who the guy who used this trick is, and Shi Fenglai can basically be ruled out. It is absolutely impossible to be Shi Fenglai, the chief assistant. Who is manipulating all this behind the scenes, and I don't know what the purpose of this person is?Is it just to hit Li Ruolian's Achilles' heel?Not right!Li Ruolian is just a small hundred household, even if he can grow, he will only be a thousand household in the future. Compared with the first assistant Shi Fenglai, it is nothing to mention!Shi Fenglai hasn't hurt enough to use tricks to frame a small family, is it aimed at himself?Not too much!Even if everyone knows that Li Ruolian is lending usury to himself, so what, there is no evidence to prove it, who dares to say anything, everyone has done it like this, this matter has been shaken out, and others dare not not repay their own Money, I won't have any loss at all, so who is this person targeting?Yang Reform was puzzled.
