In the political hall.
Xiao Yi's side had not yet exerted any force, but Li Linfu's side had begun impeachment.
First, Dai Guang was impeached for his poor management of the household department, so that the grain reserves for this autumn harvest were not as good as last year.
There were also several local officials who made false accounts, deceived Shangguan, deceived the court, and deceived His Highness the Crown Prince.
They also investigated seriously.
They are all well-founded and verifiable.
To put it bluntly, in order to crack down on Dai Guang, they planned to abandon their car to protect the commander-in-chief, throw out several local corrupt officials, and unseat Dai Guang, the Minister of Household Affairs.
Xiao Yi looked through the memorial.
Then he looked at Li Linfu with a calm expression.
The old thief also imitated his method and wanted to cut off his right and left arms and pull down the Hubu Shangshu who had just fallen to him. In this way, he was missing another Hubu Shangshu.
The things in the memorial must be true, and Dai Guang must have been negligent. However, it was more that the Ministry of Revenue's control over the local area was too weak.
They were also unable to find out the real situation in the local area. Under the protection of officials, Dai Guang, who had just taken control of the Ministry of Household Affairs, failed to train his own team. He wanted to comprehensively investigate the autumn harvest situation across the country and wanted to know the grain he had harvested. Whether it is right or not is actually difficult.
Also, Li Linfu and others must have planned something, so Dai Guang failed to notice it.
Now, the memorial has been placed in front of Xiao Yi. The matter is true, and Dai Guang must indeed bear relevant accountability.
If his dereliction of duty is not dealt with, it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.
"Dai Qing, do you have anything to say?"
Xiao Yi finally asked Dai Guang.
Dai Guang also understood that this was done deliberately by Li Linfu and others.
However, I was indeed negligent and failed to count the grain harvests in various places. As a result, the grain harvested in this autumn harvest was much less than last year.
"I have committed a crime of negligence, please punish me." Dai Guang could only stand up and bow down to plead guilty.
Xiao Yi nodded and said: "Qinghe County Prime Minister Yu Fusheng, Yunyang County Prime Minister... these people dare to bully their superiors and conceal the harvest of autumn grain. They are guilty of tax evasion. They are so lawless that they directly raid their homes and question them." cut!"
"As for Dai Guang, the Minister of Household Affairs, he was also guilty of negligence. He failed to investigate clearly in time and make up for the losses. He was fined three months' salary."
"In order to make him guilty and meritorious, he must be thoroughly investigated. Taxation is the foundation of the country. We must not neglect our righteousness."
"The thief Wang Hao, the former Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, exaggerated and made many confusing accounts for his own benefit, allowing the imperial court to possess tens of millions of dan in grain reserves."
"As a result, there was a drought in Longyou Road, but they couldn't even provide one hundred thousand dan of food."
"This is the thief who brings disaster to the country and the people!"
"In a fit of anger, I beheaded him directly in the East Palace. When I saw him, I thought about the suffering that the people in the world suffered because of his great achievements, lawlessness, whitewashing of peace, and misdeeds, and I felt extremely angry."
Xiao Yi's voice became colder and colder, and he looked directly at Liu Hui and others.
It's like they are also traitors.
This kind of looking around, severely punishing several county magistrates, and then lightly punishing Dai Guang, and then taking out Wang Hao and whipping his corpse, was beyond the expectations of Liu Hui and others.
They were very motivated and wanted to argue with the prince and Dai Guang and push Dai Guang to death.
Unexpectedly, the prince immediately punished Dai Guang and compared it with Wang Hao.
All of a sudden.
What else could they say?
The harvest was good last year, but Wang Hao, the Minister of Revenue, was making false accounts.
This year's harvest is not good. That's because Dai Guang kept the account books honestly, while someone below reported the harvest falsely.
This is not the main crime of wearing light.
After Dai Guang expressed his gratitude, Di Yan did not give Li Linfu and others a chance. He stood up directly and raised the issue of the greenhouse, which immediately attracted the attention of Li Linfu and others.
Inevitably, there was another argument.
Green vegetables can be grown in the winter. If you have this greenhouse, you won't have to worry about running out of vegetables in the future.
The key is that many of their ministers have a lot of land in their hands!
They can completely replant their land into vegetables and sell them. Wouldn't this make a lot of money?
The thought of making money.
That's the equivalent of a pack of wolves smelling meat.
Swarmed up.
Unfortunately, Xiao Yi had already prepared.
He was also worried that these ministers would not dare to take action.
In this case, wouldn't it be more in line with his idea of cheating customers and trapping these corrupt officials?
In the end, it naturally ended with Xiao Yi's victory.
Li Linfu lost the Yushitai, and also lost the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War. On the other hand, Xiao Yi now had the sword of Jinyiwei. Together with the Yushitai, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War, it was equivalent to occupying most of the area. Court.
What's more important is that there is His Majesty standing behind Xiao Yi.
Emperor Daqian is not dead yet.
Li Linfu has lost the confidence and opportunity to directly lift the table. If he lifts the table now, he will only die.
…
December 10, the twenty-third year of Zhenyuan.
The third prince of Daqian, Yan Wang Xiao Zheng, who had been guarding Baoding Pass for three years, finally returned to the capital.
After arriving at Gyeonggi Road, Xiao Zheng found that the situation on Gyeonggi Road was very different from what he had heard before.
At the beginning of the year, I also heard that Gyeonggi Road was now full of bandits and hundreds of thousands of refugees were surrounding the capital.
He was also waiting for trouble to occur in the capital, and finally sent his troops south to attack King Qin, so that like his father, he would be enthroned as a vassal king.
As a result, I didn't hear the news of the chaos in the capital, but instead heard the news of the prince supervising the country.
"The capital is still the same capital."
Xiao Zheng looked up at the towering city wall and sighed.
In front, Geng Nanzhong of Honglu Temple led people to greet Xiao Zheng outside the city. After seeing Xiao Zheng, he quickly bowed and saluted.
"I am here to see His Highness and respectfully welcome His Highness back to the capital."
Xiao Zheng got off his horse and stepped forward quickly.
"No gifts, no gifts."
Geng Nanzhong stood up and looked at His Highness King Yan.
His body is as tall and straight as a pine tree, his momentum is as strong as the sun, and his eyes are as bright as cold stars under his sword-shaped brows.
He has the look of a young man like His Majesty.
It is worthy of being allowed by His Majesty to lead troops to Baoding Pass at a young age and guard Baoding Pass for Daqian for three years.
If His Highness returns to Beijing at this time, he may cause another bloody storm.
Troubled times.
It’s such an eventful time!
Although Xiao Zheng is wearing bright armor and looks like a majestic general, but when his face is gentle and his voice is very friendly, he looks like a Confucian general.
Geng Nanzhong also didn't expect that the rumored His Highness Prince Yan would be so approachable.
"Geng Qing, I have been away from the capital for three years. Now that I have returned, I find that the capital is still the same capital as before. Not much has changed."
Immediately afterwards, his expression became slightly depressed.
"It's just that... I never thought that my father had a health condition. Three years ago, my father was still so powerful and domineering. It seems that the holy body is in extremely good health."
"I think that when I come here, I must work hard to govern, be hands-on, and understand the people's sentiments. I want to create a prosperous world."
"In the prosperous age of Zhenyuan in Daqian, it is actually quite good."
"The four thieves in the North lowered their heads and respected Daqian as the king of heaven."
"My father has worked hard for Daqian all his life, but he has also been plagued by diseases. I wish those diseases could be on my body. If my father is healthy and still works hard for Daqian's prosperous world, he will definitely have an incomparably glorious future. Prosperity.”
This is for Geng Nanzhong.
The meaning is very simple. His Royal Highness, King Yan, believes that his father's serious illness is due to overwork, rather than someone secretly plotting against him.
Let Geng Nanzhong put down his guard.
His return to the capital this time, the King of Yan, was not to raise an army to investigate, but simply because Daqian and Beiyan had negotiated a peace, and Baoding Pass no longer had to be defended. His Highness, the King of Yan, could return to the capital to visit his father.
That's all.
Geng Nanzhong said quickly: "Your Highness's filial piety is bound to move God. Your Majesty is also dedicated to serving the country and the people. He is a wise king rarely seen in the ages."
"God pays off."
"His Majesty was already extremely ill and the imperial doctors were helpless. Later, he must have moved the heavens."
"His Majesty's body is being restored now."
The two of them communicated while walking towards the imperial city.
Along the way.
I also saw a lot of people coming in an endless stream.
The capital has long since returned to the lively scene of the past. The previously chaotic streets have now been brought under control. Many gangsters and forces such as the Xionghuo Gang were directly uprooted by the Jin Yiwei.
This was also a fire after the establishment of Jinyiwei, which wiped out the Xiaoxiao in the capital.
Xiao Yi calls it: eradicating gangsters and eliminating evil.
It was indeed a great thing that he did, which provided a way for the people of the capital and gave them justice.
Therefore, when Xiao Zheng saw so many people, and the guards from the front department patrolled from time to time.
The common people were used to it and were not surprised.
I now have a clear understanding of my eldest brother.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes.
The capital can be so peaceful, and you can see smiles on the faces of the people.
A leopard can be seen in the tube.
It can be imagined that his elder brother's ability to govern the world is not much worse than him.
When he arrived at the imperial city, he directly said to Wang Zhongsi, the commander of the front office of the palace: "This sword was given to me by my father. Can I take it with me?"
Wang Zhongsi cupped his hands and said, "Since it was given by His Majesty himself, His Highness can naturally take it with him."
Xiao Zheng nodded.
Geng Nanzhong felt helpless. What kind of mission did he accept?
When they arrived in the palace, the two brothers had a disagreement and started fighting. Wouldn't he be in trouble?
This way.
Geng Nanzhong could only follow Xiao Zheng, lowering his head and not daring to say a word.
All the way to the Manna Hall.
He didn't even dare to enter the main hall.
Just wait outside.
"Your Highness, please."
Xiao Zheng held his head high and strode into the Manna Hall.
"His Royal Highness King Yan is here!"
Eunuch Sanbao shouted.
His voice was much softer than usual, and he was worried about disturbing Xiao Di.
Xiao Zheng smelled the smell of medicine after entering the Ganlu Hall, and saw several imperial doctors, Xiao Di sitting on the big bed, and Xiao Yi sitting beside the bed.
"My son, please see my father, Holy Father!"
Xiao Di looked at his third son.
At that time, at a young age, he went to Baoding Pass and repelled the bandits from Beiyan who blocked the pass.
This defense lasted for three years.
Three years!
He led the army at the age of sixteen.
Now it has reached the crown.
He looks more mature and stable, with a hint of his youth.
