Facing Yan Guan's question, Han Du smiled without changing his face and said: "Your Excellency may not know something. When I accepted the Jiaofang Si, there was not even a penny in the Jiaofang Si's books, and the court did not give any money." The Jiaofang Secretary has allocated a penny, but where does the word "public money" come from?"
This is the reason. The imperial court has not given even a penny to the Jiaofang Secretary, so naturally there is no public money. The Jiaofang Division doesn't even have public funds, so how can it be said that public funds are wasted?
When Yan Guan heard this, his heart tightened. He did not expect that there was such a big loophole in the reason of wasting public funds. But the matter has come to this, even if it is messy, he can only bite the bullet. Therefore, Yan Guan was furious, pointed at Han Du and said sternly: "You spent 30,000 guan to build a building, and you still say you didn't waste public funds? The Ministry of Industry has received your 30,000 guan fee. Don’t you want me to go to the Ministry of Industry to confront you?”
Han Du looked at Yan Guan and thought to himself, he actually knew about the 30,000 yuan from the Ministry of Industry, so he seemed to be well prepared.
Faced with Yan Guan's question, Han Du shook his head and said, "Why do we need to confront you? I sent 30,000 yuan to the Ministry of Industry, but this was money from the Jiaofang Division. Your Excellency, I think that although the Jiaofang Division did spend Thirty thousand yuan was spent to build an opera house, but the opera house also earned back the money. Is this also a waste of public funds?"
Yan Guan was laughed at by Han Du and his face turned red. The issue of wasting public funds is indeed not Han Du's weakness. If spending money to build an opera house, and the opera house can quickly earn back the money, is a waste, then there is nothing in this world that is not wasteful.
Besides, compared with Han Du's construction of the opera house, there are a lot of real wastes of public funds in the six films. If Yan Guan continues to entangle himself, once Han Du involves all six departments, he will be riding a tiger with difficulty.
"Ahem," Lao Zhu coughed deliberately, attracting the officials' eyes to him. Said: "Han Du is right. Since the Jiaofang Division has no public funds in the first place, it is natural that there is no waste of public funds. As for the money to build the opera house, since the Jiaofang Division can earn it back with its own skills, let's let this matter go. .”
Lao Zhu spoke up at the right time and concluded the matter. In the eyes of the officials, the emperor's words were blatantly defending Han Du.
Yan Guan himself understood this, so he no longer struggled with Han Du on this issue. Taking this opportunity to get off the donkey, he turned around and said: "But the opera house is full of songs about men's love and women's love. As the person in charge, you cannot escape the blame."
This is a real statement, and it is difficult for Han Du to quibble.
If it’s hard to quibble, then just don’t quibble.
Han Du admitted his mistake straightforwardly and replied to Lao Zhu: "I know my mistake, I will let them correct it when I get back. I promise that there will not be any words about love, love, etc., which make this gentleman think it is offensive."
Lao Zhu has tasted the benefits of Jiaofangsi making money, so naturally he will not let go and let others attack Jiaofangsi. Is he still waiting for Han Du to send him the remaining 700,000 yuan?
Afraid of causing unnecessary complications, Lao Zhu simply took this opportunity and said straightforwardly: "If you know your mistakes, you can improve a lot. Being able to know your mistakes and correct them is good. Han Du, you will be able to rectify the Jiaofang Division after you go back. In addition, since you have made mistakes First, I will fine you one month's salary as a warning to others. Retreat from the court!"
"Your Majesty, I obey." Han Du bowed quickly.
Lao Zhu raised his hand high and lowered it gently, showing his mastery in using it. The words were serious, but they just fined Han Du a month's salary and settled the matter.
How much is Han Du's monthly salary? Han Du himself was embarrassed to mention it. Anyway, if the Han family had relied on Han Du's salary, they would have been begging for food in the streets.
Besides, Han Du is still on suspension and has no salary in the first place. Now the penalty of one month's salary is equivalent to no penalty.
Lao Zhu was also a human spirit. After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the people below and left directly.
How could Yan Guan not know that this punishment was useless to Han Du. His face was red with anger, and he was about to say something else. But suddenly he felt someone was staring at him, and when he raised his head, he saw the cold gaze of Li Shanchang, the censor of the capital.
Yan Guan couldn't help but tremble, lowered his head unwillingly, and stopped entangled.
Li Shanchang glanced at Yan Guan coldly for a few times before slowly looking away. Seeing the officials leaving one after another, they stood still and did not leave, as if waiting for something.
After a while, all the officials left. The old eunuch emerged from behind, bowed to Li Shanchang with a smile, and said, "Mr. Han, the emperor has invited you."
Li Shanchang nodded slightly and said, "Please help me lead the way."
Following the old eunuch to the royal study, Li Shanchang went in alone, came to Lao Zhu and bowed down, "Old minister, I pay my respects to the emperor."
"Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Shanchang sat down tremblingly.
Without waiting for Lao Zhu to ask questions, he said directly: "Your Majesty, forgive me. The man just made his own decision. I really didn't know about it beforehand."
"I know that's not your attention." Lao Zhu waved his hand. Lao Zhu still knew who Li Shanchang was. If the scene just now was really what Li Shanchang had indicated, Li Shanchang would not hide anything even in front of him.
Li Shanchang still has this bit of arrogance.
Furthermore, if it was really Li Shanchang's handiwork, he would not have caused the laughable scene just now. Li Shanchang will definitely think carefully and hit it with one strike. It's not like that Yan Guan, who obviously acted in a hurry and was full of loopholes.
"But this incident also shows that there are people in the Inspectorate who have some thoughts, so you should pay more attention."
Lao Zhu stared at Li Shanchang with deep eyes and meant something.
"I know what to do." Li Shanchang replied fearfully.
Lao Zhu nodded and waved his hand for Li Shanchang to step back.
Li Shanchang left the palace and headed towards the Metropolitan Procuratorate, his face not looking good along the way.
As soon as he arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Li Shanchang found the official and sternly asked him, "What's going on with you today? You impeached the Jiaofang Division for no reason. Why did you impeach Han Du? This matter Why didn't you tell me in advance what you wanted to do?"
Don’t you know that Jiaofangsi is now the emperor’s money bag? You want to touch the emperor's money bag, how many heads have you grown? There is also Han Du, although he is young and does not look like an ordinary person on weekdays, but at a critical moment, he has extremely rich fighting experience. Can you impeach someone twice and be able to bring him down?
Yan Guan was also tough, and he was not afraid in the face of his immediate superior. He cupped his hands and said: "As a supervisory censor, I have the responsibility to supervise the conduct of the people. If you don't know, then that's fine. Since you know, then you can be a god." listen."
