Zhang Yongwu said: "Your Majesty, Wen Zheng has already killed the enemy on the front line in northern Xinjiang. How can we thoroughly investigate this matter? It is better to wait for Wen Zheng to come back and then deal with it."
An Sihai said angrily: "Wen Zheng's matter has been investigated clearly. Just wait for him to come back and be tried."
"What I want to hold accountable now is that Wen Zheng obviously only needs 10,000 taels of silver for winter clothes. Why did you apply for 30,000 taels of silver for him?"
"this……"
Zhang Yongwu became even more angry.
An Sihai, an old man, is pretending not to understand.
When applying for funding, aren’t there exorbitant prices?
Over at the Ministry of Revenue, I will return the money on the ground.
This is the unbreakable truth.
Zhang Yongwu put the responsibility on the Ministry of Accounts: "This is a problem of the Ministry of Accounts. Why did the Ministry of Accounts allocate 30,000 taels of silver to Wen Zheng?"
An Sihai stood up and said: "This matter cannot be asked to the Ministry of Revenue, but to accountability to Prime Minister Yang."
Yang Ke raised his eyebrows and glared at An Sihai: "What does it have to do with me?"
An Sihai shook the evidence in his hand: "After my investigation, it has been confirmed that when this matter was handled, the Minister of Household Affairs was still Zheng Ding. Zheng Ding went out to ask for leave, and Prime Minister Yang personally handled the matter."
Yang Ke was shocked.
He really forgot about this little thing.
The matter of thirty thousand taels of silver was too childish for him.
Yan Qi looked at the evidence and said: "What Yushi An said is true. Prime Minister Yang did it himself. Wan Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, please come and confirm it."
Wan Liang came out and looked at the evidence carefully: "Your Majesty, this matter was indeed signed under the auspices of Prime Minister Yang. The evidence is conclusive and cannot be doubted."
Yang Ke hates this.
He was originally enjoying his leisure time, but saw that Zhang Yongwu was defeated.
Unexpectedly, in just a short while, he would be implicated.
Yan Qi's expression was serious: "Zheng Ding asked for leave. Of course Prime Minister Yang has the responsibility to approve the military pay. This is a sign of responsibility and responsibility. I think Prime Minister Yang signed the military pay, which is extremely correct and there is nothing wrong."
Yang Ke didn't expect Yan Qi to say that, but he was a little flattered.
Since when did this kid stand on the same side as me?
However, Yan Qi is the deputy prime minister.
Of course it is beneficial for him to express his position like this.
Yang Ke cleared his throat: "Your Majesty, I have remembered that this matter was indeed approved by me. The three taels of silver were also approved by me."
The old emperor said: "Prime Minister Yang, then you and Zhang Yongwu have a confrontation.
, let’s make things clear. "
"Confrontation?"
Yang Ke said: "What is the confrontation?"
Yan Qi's "kind-hearted" explanation: "The emperor meant that the military pay obviously only required 10,000 taels, but Prime Minister Yang approved 30,000 taels. Wen Zheng also only used 10,000 taels, and the other 20,000 taels were embezzled. This Whose responsibility is it?"
Especially the last sentence, Yan Qi said it very seriously.
When Yang Ke heard this, he was furious: "Can this be regarded as my responsibility? What does it have to do with me? Zhang Yongwu applied for 30,000 taels of silver from me. I will naturally allocate him 30,000 taels of silver. According to the application, Is there something wrong?"
Yan Qi reminded Zhang Yongwu in a 'kind-hearted' way: "What Prime Minister Yang said is right. Prime Minister Yang will approve whatever General Zhang applies for, which is reasonable and reasonable. It seems that the responsibility lies with General Zhang."
Yang Ke nodded repeatedly: "Vice Minister Yan is very sensible."
Yan Qi's expression was serious: "Although Prime Minister Yang and I don't get along, we must be fair and just and not get involved in personal affairs. The responsibility for this matter lies with General Zhang. What does it have to do with Prime Minister Yang?"
Yang Ke was even happier.
It is very rare to have someone supporting you at this critical moment.
With Yan Qi's blessing, he is invincible.
"What a load of rubbish, what a load of rubbish!"
Zhang Yongwu was furious, pointed at Yang Ke's face, and shouted: "I applied for 30,000 taels, and you gave me 30,000 taels? How much did you apply for? Could it be that if I applied for one million taels, you would also give me one million taels?" Is it ten thousand taels?"
"You...what's your point?"
Yang Ke became even more angry: "You applied for 30,000 taels, but I didn't give you a single point reduction. This was a huge favor for you, but you actually gave me a blow, complaining that I gave you too much money? What's your intention?" Is this what you do?"
Yan Qi fanned the flames: "General Zhang, there is something wrong with you as a person. I gave you thirty thousand taels, but you still think that Prime Minister Yang gave you too many approvals? This is a bit bullying. Prime Minister Yang is the head of hundreds of officials. Why? Let you bully me?"
With Yan Qi's support, Yang Ke became even more angry: "Zhang Yongwu, it's obviously your responsibility. If you dare to blame the Prime Minister again, the Prime Minister will definitely not let it go."
"Yang Ke, what are you pretending to be?"
Zhang Yongwu became even more convinced when he saw that Yang Ke had assumed the identity of the leader of hundreds of officials.
Yang Ke's identity has already touched Zhang Yongwu's inner side.
He is the general who governs the country.
Who are you afraid of?
On merit
, he is the most awesome.
Zhang Yongwu's face turned livid: "Yang Ke, stop pretending to be a good person. Don't you know the rules of your household department's allocation? If you apply for 100,000, you will be allocated 50,000. If you apply for 40,000, you will be allocated 20,000."
"I applied for 30,000 yuan, and you can repay the money on the spot. If you don't cut the funds in half, you can still rely on me? This is simply unreasonable. Let me tell you, this just shows that you are inexperienced in handling affairs in the Ministry of Household Affairs. You , Incompetent! To put it more profoundly, there is something wrong with your ability."
Yang Ke was speechless: "Zhang Yongwu, what do you say? I am inexperienced? There is a problem with my ability? How dare you question me?"
Zhang Yongwu said: "What's wrong with questioning you? I will question you! And my questioning is reasonable. If you can't defend yourself, it means you have a guilty conscience."
Yang Ke was a little confused and really didn't know how to defend himself.
Yan Qi hurriedly stood up and spoke for Yang Ke: "General Zhang, you are bullying Prime Minister Yang for his kindness. But I want to speak out for Prime Minister Yang."
When Yang Ke heard this, he felt even more heart-warmed: "Say it, say it quickly!"
Yan Qi stared at Zhang Yongwu: "Prime Minister Yang allocated 30,000 taels of silver to you. Don't you know that there is some surplus in the allocation of silver? Prime Minister Yang is very capable, so of course he knows the truth."
"However, Prime Minister Yang still did this. Why? Because Prime Minister Yang was afraid that your military's funds would be tight, so he considered it more from General Zhang's standpoint."
"The essence is to tighten your belt and make your military life more comfortable."
"But, General Zhang, when you got the money, you didn't care about it, didn't supervise it at all, just allocated it all, and let Wen Zheng squander it?"
"Is this a responsible attitude? If there is too much military expenditure, should it be wasted? If you can't use it, you can use it on other military business. If you still can't use it, you can return the money to the household department."
"Could it be that if we can't spend money on the military, we can line our own pockets? Can we squander it like crazy?"
"That's all if you squander it. After squandering it, you actually put the excrement basin on Prime Minister Yang's head and on our minister's head."
"Let me tell you, not only does Prime Minister Yang refuse to agree, but our Shangshu Province will not take the blame."
Zhang Yong's martial arts and poetry are poor.
After all, it was Wen Zheng of the military department who enriched his own pockets.
No matter how many reasons he had, it was all in vain.
What shocked him even more was that Yan Qi actually joined forces with Yang Ke to attack him together.
It seems that Yang Ke really wants to compete with me.
