Song Huan originally thought that in the morning of the next day, Emperor Liang would excitedly announce the good news about the muskets, ordnance department, etc. to the public.
However, what he didn't expect was that Emperor Liang behaved very calmly in the morning.
It was as if the old man who was singing the big tooth music yesterday was not himself.
At first, Song Huan was a little confused.
How could Emperor Liang hold back from talking about such an explosive event?
But after thinking for a moment, Song Huan understood the reason!
This is Daliang's top-secret military aircraft. How could he rush to tell the world about it before he even scratches the surface?
Even if the Ordnance Department is established in the future, this Ordnance Department will definitely become the most confidential department in Daliang.
The principle of working behind closed doors will never go wrong at any time!
Thinking of this, Song Huan unconsciously admired Emperor Liang.
As the supreme ruler of Daliang, Emperor Liang was indeed very thoughtful and farsighted, which was impressive!
The content of the entire morning session was lackluster and made people feel a little lethargic.
Just when Emperor Liang was about to announce his resignation, suddenly, a loud voice came from the hall.
"Your Majesty!"
"The humble minister risked his life to expose Fang Wanlin, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who took advantage of his position to take advantage of his position and bend the law to make a fortune!"
"This is the evidence collected by Weichen and the exposé letter from the relevant personnel!"
Sun Shutong was seen taking a few steps forward, kneeling on the ground with a pop, and raising his hands high above his head.
In his hand, he was holding something like an envelope.
Sun Shutong's few words seemed to inject a stimulant into the ordinary morning court, which made all the courtiers instantly surprised!
"Master Fang from the Ministry of Personnel? Impossible!"
"Anyone can bend the law for personal gain, but only the Prime Minister and Mr. Fang from the Ministry of Personnel do not have this possibility!"
"If Mr. Fang's hands and feet are not clean, who else's hands and feet are clean?"
"..."
Fang Wanlin also frowned slightly, his face full of confusion.
"Master Sun, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding!"
"I don't pursue fame or fortune in my life, I only do things to have a clear conscience!"
"What you're saying is that I will never do it, and I don't even bother to do it!"
Sun Shutong ignored what Fang Wanlin said, but continued to face Emperor Liang and said sadly: "Your Majesty, Fang Wanlin, as the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, actually used the construction of the Gongyuan to make money wantonly!"
"If you don't want to talk about far away, let's talk about the Gongyuan in the south of Bianjing City!"
"As we all know, when building a Gongyuan, the Ministry of Officials calculates the budget and reports it to the Ministry of Household Affairs. After the Ministry of Officials gets the money, workers are dispatched to build it."
"The budget that Fang Wanlin reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs was one thousand taels of silver."
"But in fact, only six hundred taels of silver are needed to build this tribute courtyard!"
"The evidence in Wei Chen's hands is the handwritten letter from the craftsman team that exposed Fang Wanlin to Wei Chen!"
As soon as these words came out, the court instantly exploded!
"Just for this tribute courtyard, four hundred taels of silver will be charged?"
"There are countless tribute courtyards, large and small, in the entire Daliang. If you add them all together, how many taels of silver will you be greedy for!"
"So dark! It's almost as good as the original Shangguan Yi!"
"But I still choose to believe Mr. Fang! Mr. Fang really doesn't seem like a person who can do this!"
Instead of showing any panic, Fang Wanlin's face was filled with helplessness.
"Master Sun, this official department is not all decided by one of us!"
"The original selection of the address, budget statistics and even the selection of the craftsman team were the result of the joint efforts of 34 people from top to bottom of the official department!"
"Even if I have great abilities, I can't possibly cheat in front of the remaining thirty-three colleagues!"
"I would like to ask Mr. Sun, which craftsman's expose letter is the so-called evidence in your hand?"
Sun Shutong snorted: "No one knows now!"
"Master Fang is a big shot promoted by the Prime Minister. Although he has not yet taken the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, you alone have the final say in the entire Ministry of Personnel!"
"We are quiet people, but will anyone listen to what we say?"
"As for the craftsman who exposed Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang should also recognize him."
"This person is the leader of the craftsman team, Li Ermao!"
"Li Ermao made it very clear in his letter of exposure that it was you who coerced and lured him, using his family as a threat to get him to cooperate with you in making false claims!"
"But Li Ermao really has a guilty conscience. He always tosses and turns every night and has trouble falling asleep!"
"It was really difficult for him to escape the condemnation of his conscience, so he mustered up the courage to submit this letter of exposure to me!"
"Now that Li Ermao's family has been protected by me, Mr. Fang, don't even think about embarrassing his family again!"
"In addition to the letter of disclosure, I have also carefully checked the bill."
"Master Fang, this one thousand tael budget is really quite generous!"
Sun Shutong's words had both nose and eyes. Even Emperor Liang couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.
"Bring your evidence and let me see it!"
Seeing that Emperor Liang seemed to be persuaded by him, Sun Shutong was secretly happy and quickly handed over the so-called "evidence" to the imperial eunuch.
Emperor Liang took the bill and handwritten letter presented by the eunuch and stared at them for a long time.
In the main hall, you could hear a needle drop, but there was total silence.
All the courtiers held their breath and carefully observed Emperor Liang's face, trying to get a glimpse of Fang Wanlin's future destiny from the subtle changes in the expression on his face.
Emperor Liang looked over the bill several times, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
"Fang Wanlin, I'm asking you!"
"That Li Ermao said in the expose letter that when selecting materials, you could obviously choose cheaper stones."
"But in order to make money, you deliberately chose expensive stones because they are more profitable!"
"Moreover, trivial matters such as building the Gongyuan and selecting materials should be the responsibility of the doctor of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"But for your own selfish desires, you have to do everything yourself, just to let more money fall into your pocket!"
"Tell me, is this happening?"
Fang Wanlin bowed deeply to Emperor Liang and said sternly: "In the hearts of humble ministers, building the Gongyuan is a major event that benefits the country and the people!"
"So even though Wei Chen is a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he still has to take care of everything in detail. Even small things like selecting talents have to be personally involved."
"We serve the country and the people, and we have a clear conscience when we do this!"
"As for the selection of stone materials, Li Ermao did persuade Wei Chen to consider lower-cost stones."
“But the cost of those stones is low and the quality is not up to standard.”
"Especially in Bianjing, the wind and sand are strong. If this kind of cheap stone is used, Gongyuan will definitely be eroded by wind and sand within five years!"
"Weichen remembers that at the beginning of spring, the Ministry of Industry reported several places that needed to be renovated."
“Renovation is a waste of money, time and effort!”
"So Weichen thinks that it is better to get it right in one step and directly choose better quality stone to avoid unnecessary trouble!"
