In the hall, a bloated figure sat beside the banquet, his fat belly almost touching the edge of the banquet. Uncle Li Ye had such a greasy image.
Show it to Emperor Liu "generally and generously". Over the years, Li Ye's family property has increased exponentially, and so has his weight. You must know that even if Li Ye was not handsome at the time, he still had an extraordinary bearing, and even if he dressed up a little, he was sanctimonious.
However, now, the fat head, big ears, old and greasy look were disgusting. Emperor Liu felt even more disgusted when he looked at him. In his opinion, this was evidence of indulgence and depravity.
Emperor Liu started walking and walked slowly in front of Li Ye. Emperor Liu had a cold face, but seeing his calm look, he felt a wave of anger welling up in his heart.
"How long has it been since uncle came to Chui Gong Hall?" Emperor Liu patiently asked as calmly as possible.
After hearing the question, Li Ye replied somewhat reservedly: "Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, working early and late at night, wearing clothes and eating late at night. I am an idle person, so I can't disturb you." Li Ye's compliment obviously had some peculiar smell, and Liu heard that The emperor frowned, took two steps closer, and stared at him condescendingly: "Uncle, is he still angry?"
"Don't dare!" Li Ye blurted out, but Emperor Liu's eyes were still full of oppression. He looked away guiltily and said, "I have a weak talent and weak virtues, so why should I complain?" Obviously, Li Ye has always remembered those days in his heart.
Emperor Liu was naturally not happy when he saw the "unfortunate uncle" thing. However, Emperor Liu had to show some mercy to Li Ye. After all, this was Empress Dowager Li's most beloved brother. When the Empress Dowager was still alive, she repeatedly vaccinated Emperor Liu, saying that this brother, as long as he did not make a particularly serious mistake, would be able to Tolerance should be tolerated as much as possible... In addition, these older generations of Li's relatives have passed away one after another, and their political influence has been continuously weakened. The only thing left for my uncle is Li Ye. Due to various reasons, As long as Li Ye didn't go too far, he would turn a blind eye.
Suppressing the sullenness in his heart, Emperor Liu waved his hand and said: "Let's not mention the past things for now! I am summoned today, and I hope you can explain something to me! I heard that my uncle's family has made a lot of money from their business over the years. , with a family fortune of over one million, why do you still need to borrow money from others?" Hearing this, Li Ye was stunned for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Emperor Liu unexpectedly, thought about it a little, raised his hands and said: "Who and what is your Majesty referring to? "
"Corning!"
"It's true!" Li Ye suddenly realized, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked: "I don't know what the connection is about this matter, so I bothered Your Majesty to personally inquire about it!"
"I have ordered people to arrest Kang Ning for interrogation!" Emperor Liu stared straight at Li Ye, paying attention to the change in his face.
Li Ye's reaction was somewhat beyond Emperor Liu's expectations. He was very calm. He obviously thought about it for a while, and then he handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty's intention, I understand a little! However, I assure you that no matter what Kang Ning has committed, he will be responsible for it." The old minister has nothing to do with him! Kang Ning is a well-known businessman in the Han Dynasty, with a wide business scope. The old minister also has some industries, some output from the land, and some trade cooperation between the two parties, with the help of Kang's horse team. The old minister and Kang Ning are just normal Business dealings, nothing more!”
"Really?" Li Ye pondered for a moment and asked slowly: "May I ask Your Majesty, does the Han Dynasty's "Xingtong" stipulate that private loans are not allowed?"
"Are you questioning me?" Emperor Liu said fiercely with a straight face. Li Ye was slightly frightened, but his face was calm, and he said softly: "Old minister, I don't dare." A conversation with Li Ye not only failed to dispel Emperor Liu's suspicion, but also intensified the anger in his heart, especially Li Ye's expression
The "half-dead" behavior and the attitude of having nothing to do with him made Emperor Liu even more angry. The spring light in Luoyang was still warm, shining in the palace, making it even more gorgeous. Li Ye dragged his fat body and walked slowly inside the palace wall with a cane. His old face with ravines was full of contemplation.
Compared with what happened in front of Emperor Liu
"Relaxed and comfortable", Li Ye looked much more serious at this time, his mind was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking silently in his heart: "What on earth did Kang Ning commit? His Majesty actually asked him to personally intervene. Judging from the situation, it seems to be very serious. Look like that." He was puzzled by this, and Li Ye couldn't help but feel nervous for a moment, but soon, a smile gradually appeared on that fat and ugly face.
Li Ye's assurance in front of Emperor Liu was also untrue. The financial transactions between other dignitaries and Kang Ning varied, but Li Ye was considered the most special one.
At first, I heard that Corning had opened a new
In the "loan business", many powerful people borrowed money from him, so Li Ye also thought of it and asked people to come to him to give some hints, so the 20,000 yuan was successfully transferred to him.
He entered Li Ye's house in the name of "loan", but Li Ye never thought about paying back the money. If there is a transfer of interests between Emperor Liu, Li Ye, and Kang Ning, and any violation of law or discipline occurs as a result, Li Ye will have to be accused of injustice.
Because Li Ye has indeed never used his power and influence to help Corning do anything from beginning to end, and Corning has never taken the initiative to mention it. Between the two, Li Ye has always asked Corning for anything, even if it is to help transport goods, it is only Receive a capital guarantee.
In matters of profiteering, Li Guojiu can
"Innocent", he is indeed greedy, but he is greedy
"Justice and fairness". As for the exchange of interests between other dignitaries and Kang Ning, and the violation of laws and disciplines, it has nothing to do with Uncle Li Guo.
Probably because he has gotten into money over the years and is used to scheming. Although Li Yeren is very old, his mind is still clear and his sense of smell is even sharper than when he was in power.
The specific circumstances of Kang Ning's incident are not yet clear, but Li Ye is keenly aware that this test is not easy to pass, and it is even a life-and-death test.
After all, if the old emperor can pay attention and personally intervene, there is no need to say more about the seriousness of the problem. And once Corning fails to break through this level, it will be interesting... At least, the wealth that Corning possesses is
The "millionaire" Uncle Li Guo was envious, and Li Ye had also been coveting the industries, land, pastures, minerals, and trade routes owned by the Kang family for a long time.
On weekdays, the Kang family had extensive contacts and involved too many people, and they were still flattering themselves, making it difficult for them to make any moves. But when the old emperor came to an end, it would be a God-given opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
When the direction of his consideration shifted, Uncle Li Guo became a little excited. He had not had such a whim for more than ten years.
By the time he left the palace and returned home, Li Ye had already formed a clear idea in his mind. Kang Ning had been arrested. Now that he had started, he could not stop.
Not to mention that Kang Ning himself is not clean, even if he is innocent, he still has to create some problems for him. Moreover, he cannot wait and see for too long. When it is time to take the initiative, he must not be soft. He can also contact some people. The Kang family has a piece of fat. , there are not a few people who are greedy.
...
"Guan Jian, Kang Ning has been arrested and is currently in prison!" Wang Jien returned to the Chui Gong Hall excitedly. Looking at Emperor Liu who was sitting there in silence, his excitement subsided, and with a roll of his eyes, he became indignant again. Authentic: "The officials may not know it, but today is an eye-opener for me. In the past, I only heard about the Kang family's wealth, but now I can finally see that the wealth of their mansion is beyond imagination. In the back garden of Kang's house, there is a Buddhist temple. Gold and silver are the pillars, and jade is the decoration. A Buddha that is ten feet high is actually made of pure gold. It is really jaw-dropping..." Talking about what he saw in Kangzhai, Wang Jien's face glowed with brilliance, but However, Emperor Liu's reaction was unusually calm. He glanced at him sideways and said, "I asked you to get someone. Are you searching the house?" After hearing this, Wang Jien quickly calmed down and said, "I was surprised to see how rich the Kang family is. After looking at it twice, I forgot about it and asked the officials to forgive me!"
"What was Kang Ning's reaction?" Emperor Liu asked as he looked away. Wang Jien said: "There were some guards in Kang's house who wanted to resist arrest with weapons, but Kang Ning, although he was aggrieved, still stopped his subordinates and tied them up. It's funny that Kang Ning actually wanted to bribe the younger one with money and asked the younger one about the situation. .”
"Aren't you tempted?" Emperor Liu glanced at Wang Jien. Wang Jien was slightly startled, and immediately expressed a sigh of relief: "How can I be fooled by a mere yellow and white thing when I am on an errand and betray the trust of the officials? But Kang Ning made a wrong calculation!" Emperor Liu laughed! He smiled and said calmly: "Go and take Kang Ning out of the imperial prison and hand him over to Dali Temple for trial!"
