In fact, Kong Zheng knew it in his heart.
If it really comes to an extreme situation, the best way to deal with it is to resign yourself in exchange for the retention of the main force of the Shandong department.
It can be regarded as giving up the car to save the handsome man in a sense.
But he didn't say this.
He finally experienced the feeling of a political leader. Now he feels very good. He is a little nostalgic for such a position. He doesn't want to resign voluntarily, and he doesn't want to admit that he is not handsome.
So no matter what, until the end, he wanted to take a chance and take a chance on the possibilities of the future.
Of course, the news of Su Yonglin's secret return to Beijing shocked not only Kong Zheng and others, but also Yelu Chenghui, Yelu Yuanyi, Huo Jianbai and others.
They didn't know what Su Yonglin's secret return to Beijing meant.
Suddenly appeared in Shandong and suddenly came back without saying hello and no one knew.
What on earth does the emperor want to do?
How is Shandong?
With all kinds of questions, they all dressed up and rushed to the palace.
At the main entrance into the palace, two groups of people bumped into each other.
Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang looked at Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi standing in front of them, with ugly expressions on their faces.
Of course, Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi didn't have a good face either.
Seeing Kong Zheng and Zhou Jiang, Yelu Chenghui wanted to scold him for his stupidity, but when he thought that his end was right in front of him, he was too lazy to struggle with them.
What's there to do with the dead?
And according to Yelujin, he has basically settled those who were still willing to work for the Shandong faction. They all chose to cooperate with foreign factions in order to survive, and the plan was a great success.
In this case, it would be better to witness their end with your own eyes.
So Yelu Chenghui turned around and left without having any conversation with Kong Zheng.
Of course, Kong Zheng had no interest in arguing with Yelu Chenghui and others at this time. He was anxious to know everything.
This was the first time he felt that everything was out of his control, and this feeling made him feel very uneasy.
Although he was holding what he thought was a life-saving straw, he was now more worried about how much the emperor's actions had damaged the vitality of the Shandong faction.
A group of people entered the palace with different thoughts and ulterior motives. In the emperor's study, a group of people saw the emperor Su Yonglin with a calm face who was busy writing.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
With Zhao Zuoliang taking the lead, the officials paid tribute to Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin did not raise his head and continued to write something.
"Give me a seat for Mr. Zhao. While I was away in Zhongdu, Mr. Zhao worked hard."
The eunuch beside him immediately moved a brocade pier to Zhao Zuoliang and asked Zhao Zuoliang to sit down.
"It is my duty to serve His Majesty. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Zhao Zuoliang thanked Su Yonglin and sat down slowly.
Others, however, did not have such good treatment and could only stand.
Then there was an eerie silence that was unbearable.
Su Yonglin didn't seem to want to say anything, but just kept busy writing.
Zhao Zuoliang said nothing, closed his eyes and rested his mind, as if the old god was there.
What's going on?
Yelu Chenghui turned his head and looked at Kong Maojie, the censor of Youdu, who was standing next to him. He saw that Kong Maojie's face was neither happy nor sad, his eyes were looking at his nose, and his nose was looking at his heart, and he was motionless.
He turned his head and looked at Shen Ge, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and saw that Shen Ge also looked neither happy nor sad. His eyes were looking at his nose, and his nose was looking at his heart, motionless.
What's going on?
Yelu Chenghui was very worried.
Compared to him, Kong Zheng was certainly the more anxious one.
But the emperor didn't speak, and they didn't have the confidence to say anything.
The suffocating silence lasted for a long time. Su Yonglin finally put down his pen, took a few sips from the teacup he had passed over, and then raised his head to look at the ministers standing in front of him.
"I have been away from Zhongdu for more than two months. I am very satisfied that all the ministers and ministers have performed their duties faithfully and handled the government affairs properly."
Su Yonglin put down his teacup and said, "That being said, some things I encountered during my southern tour made me very unhappy. I think you don't know everything, so I don't." Going in circles.
Corruption occurred in Henan. I ordered an investigation and implicated officials from four counties. Their actions also affected landlords, gentry, and wealthy businessmen in several states. They embezzled funds from the Yellow River Project and stole expensive building materials. For sale outside.
Those landlords, gentry, and wealthy merchants either helped them transport and sell building materials, or they knew they were Yellow River building materials and still decided to buy them, completely ignoring the court's laws. What they did caused more than 300 million yuan in project losses. "
With that said, Su Yonglin raised a stack of paper.
"These are the criminal records and punishment results of Henan prisoners, Shen Ge."
Shen Ge took a step forward.
"I'm here."
"You are responsible for engraving these records and distributing them to each court official. How many are there and how many are engraved. I want every court official to know about this."
Su Yonglin handed the paper in his hand to the eunuch beside him.
"According to the order!"
Shen Ge stepped forward and took the paper handed over by the eunuch.
"The incident in Henan is extremely bad in nature and involves a large scope. The number of officials who committed crimes is close to a hundred. I hate it very much, so I deal with them very strictly, without any luck."
Su Yonglin picked up the tea cup again, drank a few sips, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"After the Henan incident happened, I realized that since Henan had such a situation, would it be possible that Shandong would also have such a situation? So I sent people to investigate and investigated for a while. Guess what results I got? "
After Su Yonglin said these words, the psychological activities of the courtiers below were quite colorful.
Kong Zheng, Zhou Jiang and other Shandong officials were stunned.
Aren't people from the Yanyun family or the foreign family trying to get rid of them?
Didn't this happen because of their whistle-blowing?
Is it because Henan's affairs involve Shandong, so Shandong is experiencing thunder?
ah?
Yelu Chenghui and Yelu Yuanyi were also quite surprised. They did not expect that the cause of this incident was actually a corruption case in Henan. None of them would deliberately cause trouble in Henan. They could only say that things in Henan were accidental.
And this was discovered by the emperor by chance, so it became inevitable in Shandong.
Good guy, so this is what happened?
Those people from Shandong department...
Yelu Chenghui turned his attention to Kong Zheng, and saw that Kong Zheng also had a look of disbelief on his face and turned his attention to him almost at the same time.
Good guy, this misunderstanding is really a bit...
An awkward atmosphere lingered around the two of them.
But this state did not last long, because Su Yonglin spoke out again.
"The situation in Shandong is several times that of Henan."
Su Yonglin picked up another thick stack of paper and said, "Henan officials together embezzled more than 300 million yuan in project funds and building materials. And in Shandong, guess how much it cost?"
Kong Zheng and others suddenly became nervous.
"1.4 billion."
Su Yonglin sneered and said: "It's 1.4 billion yuan, everyone, 1.4 billion yuan. Counting the embezzled project funds and building materials together, it's a total of 1.4 billion yuan. Dongping Prefecture, Jinan Prefecture, Dizhou, Binzhou, Zizhou, Yidu Prefecture, one of the capitals of the states along the project route, is not clean.
Chen Luo, Yin of Dongping Prefecture, Zhu Wenxian, governor of Dizhou Prefecture, Cui Zhi, the governor of Yidu Prefecture, etc., etc., are all court officials who hold power. I personally signed the orders and handed them over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for approval. They were all appointed by me. The official, now, also slapped me in the face. "
Every one of the Shandong bosses headed by Kong Zheng felt real panic.
The emperor was really angry, really annoyed, so his voice was getting lower and lower instead of getting higher and higher.
From Kong Zheng's own understanding of Su Yonglin, the rising voice was false anger, not real anger, just a pretense.
But if the voice becomes lower and lower, seemingly calm, there will be a real explosion.
At that time, what greeted the Shandong officials present was no longer a simple thunderous rage.
Because as we all know, the local officials in Shandong were obtained by the Shandong bosses who donated money and materials to the emperor to promote the Liaodong immigration plan.
They spent a lot of effort and a lot of money to get the emperor to partially let go of local political power in Shandong, allowing local people to run local affairs and giving them a certain degree of autonomy.
It can be said that even if they were not directly involved in this corruption operation, they were still behind it. They are absolutely inseparable from it - if the involvement is really big.
Kong Zheng's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Sure enough, just when Kong Zheng's heartbeat was racing, Su Yonglin, like a long-dormant volcano suddenly awakening, roared, threw a stack of paper at Kong Zheng with a flick of his hand.
"This is the talent you recommended to me to save the world!"
