Yang Xian squinted his eyes. He came up now and surrendered to Zhejiang.
If Fang Keqin is allowed to do whatever he wants, will he still be able to serve as prime minister?
There is also Hu Guoyong below, who is eyeing him eagerly.
At this time, Xie Si returned to the Hubu Yamen with satisfaction and was planning to have tea and rest.
As a result, there was a noise outside.
Xies frowned, "What's the matter, so noisy?"
The clerk on the side quickly ran out to check the situation. After a while, the clerk ran in in a panic, "Sir, sir, there are many people from the Guards Department outside!"
Xie Si's heart skipped a beat. Why did the people from the Security Department come to his Hubu Yamen?
"What are they here for?" As soon as Xie Si finished speaking, the door opened.
A captain of the Gongwei Department came in with an oracle in his hand. He looked at Xie Si and cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Shangshu. By your Majesty's order, I came to check the accounts written off by the Ministry of Revenue in the past few years. Please thank Shangshu for the deposit." Take it out!"
Xie Si stood up like a frightened bird, "What, there is something wrong with the accounts?"
The captain was neither happy nor sad, and said: "I don't know, we are just following orders. His Majesty said that you should personally deliver the accounts to Fengtian Palace!"
As soon as these words came out, Xies suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
He walked up to the captain and asked, "Does Mr. Yang know about this?"
There was finally a slight fluctuation in the captain's eyes, "Your Majesty's decree, does it still need Prime Minister Yang's consent?
As soon as possible, Your Majesty is waiting! "
The captain bowed and turned to leave.
Seeing that the captain did not give him any face, Xie Si became more and more uneasy.
When he walked out, he saw the people from the Security Department grabbing the auditors who had come to declare the accounts and walking out.
"Why are you arresting me? I am a fellow intellectual in Suzhou..."
"I didn't commit any crime, please let go..."
When Xies saw this scene, his eyes popped out.
Zhou Bin on the side was already at a loss. When he saw Xie Si, he hurried over and said, "Sir, what should I do?"
Xie Si gritted his teeth, "What else can we do? Send someone quickly to inform Prime Minister Yang, go to the warehouse and adjust the ledger!"
Soon, Yang Xian received the news. He was shocked at first, and then became angry, "What's the situation? Why didn't I know that the Guards Department was dispatched?"
The first thing he thought of was that Jiang Huan was cheating on him.
The Guards Department went directly to the Ministry of Household Affairs to arrest people, but he didn't receive the information in advance.
what does that mean?
Does this mean that he is no longer able to function in the Arch Guard Department?
Feng Mian and Hou Shan, who were participating in politics on the side, also received the news and couldn't help but look at Hu Guoyong.
It stands to reason that Hu Guoyong is the most promising to become the right prime minister, but he did not expect to be intercepted by Yang Xian.
The hatred between these two people is deep.
Originally, if Hu Guoyong didn't go up, His Majesty would have given him some explanation.
For example, let him be promoted to a higher level and become a political official or something like that.
But since three years after Shenwu, the position of Pingzhang has been vacant and no one has filled it.
It makes people think a lot.
Hu Guoyong rolled his eyes. This is interesting. His Majesty has thoroughly investigated the accounts of the Household Department for several years. This is no small matter.
The Arch Guards personally dispatched, indicating that something big was going on.
He thought of some rumors he had heard in the past few days. Fang Keqin, the prefect of Fengyang, had been correcting accounts.
Could it be that this matter has something to do with Fang Keqin?
If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be waves again.
Hu Guoyong saw an opportunity!
An opportunity to severely damage the East Zhejiang lineage!
He hurried out and when he came back, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It's exactly what I thought. Now, Yang Xian is going to be in bad luck!" Hu Guoyong was secretly happy.
But he didn't go to Fengtian Palace to add insult to injury, but stayed here honestly.
Lest people think that he, Hu Guoyong, is hypocritical!
Feng Mian and Hou Shan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hu, what happened? You are well-informed, can you tell me?"
"Hate, how do I know what happened? His Majesty wants to check the accounts. There may be something wrong with the accounts!" Hu Guoyong waved his hand, "However, this has nothing to do with me!"
At this time, Yang Xian had already left Zhongshu Province and walked towards Fengtian Hall.
When they entered the Fengtian Hall, before they were greeted, they saw the prefects kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
Xie Si, Zhou Bin and others were even more frightened and trembling.
Zhu Yuanzhang's roar resounded throughout the hall.
Among these people, only one person is standing, and that is Fang Keqin!
Yang Xian's heart sank and he glanced at Fang Keqin fiercely, "What a scourge..."
Before he could kneel down and salute, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice of slapping the document could be heard from above again, "You are so audacious in deceiving the superiors and concealing the truth from the inferiors.
What an empty seal, what a convenience, what an unwritten rule.
Do you want to take us for a fool?
No wonder Guo Heng and his ilk can covet millions of stones of food. It turns out they are so covetous.
If it weren't for Fang Keqin, we would still be kept in the dark.
You are seeking death! "
The murderous voice made everyone feel chills behind them.
Xie Si wanted to defend himself, but when he spoke, he was frightened back by Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous eyes.
Fortunately, this time, Yang Xian's voice came from behind.
This sound was like a fairy sound at this time.
Xies and others turned to look at Yang Xian, as if they had seen a savior.
"Your Majesty, why are you so angry?" Yang Xian asked after kneeling down.
"Xiwu, you came just in time. Let me ask you, do you know about the empty seal?" Li Shilong stared at Yang Xian.
Yang Xian bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, calm down, this empty seal is indeed a thing, but it has always been like this since Meng Yuan.
After all, when grain taxes come up, there will inevitably be losses on the road. With this going back and forth, the accounts will naturally not be correct.
If the accounts are incorrect and then reverted to the original position, it will be impossible to complete the write-off of the accounts within the stipulated time.
The most important thing is that this matter is not only true for Daye, but also for Chen Han and Da Zhou.
And that empty seal should have a riding seal and cannot be used for other purposes..."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face became more and more gloomy.
In his opinion, this empty seal was a complete deception. Guo Heng had hooked up with so many people to take action on grain taxes and disaster relief grains.
Just this unwritten rule, how many people have been harmed, and how much loss has the court suffered?
Mr. Yang was actually very eloquent.
"Okay, okay, that's great. As the right prime minister, you knew about this and didn't report it to us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and threw the accounts in front of the document, "Look for yourself, these are Fengyang's accounts for the past five years.
Every year the accounts are written off correctly, but the actual deviation is vastly different.
This is how your account department checks accounts, right?
How much effort did we put into Fengyang, and what did we get in the end?
It's Chi Guoguo's deception! "
