"Kinmen, this..." Ruan Yuan was still thinking about asking Liu Fenggao, but at this moment, Jiang Er suddenly walked over from the side and said to Ruan Yuan: "Master, people from Qiu Junmen have arrived at Fuyuan and asked about the recent days.

Regarding the banditry in southern Zhejiang, how should we use our troops? Please go back as soon as possible."

"Kinmen, then I will resign first. If you are really not at fault in this matter, I... I will also prove it in front of the emperor that you are not at fault." Ruan Yuan thought that military affairs were important, and Liu Fenggao was here, so he

Unable to stay for a long time, I had to resign Liu Fenggao and return home to discuss coastal defense matters.

But on the way home, thinking about his many years of friendship with Liu Fenggao, Ruan Yuan still couldn't believe that Liu Fenggao would accept bribes.

"With Jinmen's temperament, how could it be possible... What's more, it seems that Jinmen really doesn't know Xu Buyao's name. How could Xu Buyao have expected his sudden arrival? And let a person from Jinmen come.

Determine whether he can be Chinese? As for the words about drinking, and the words about beating and scolding the supervisors, this is not what a scholar in Kinmen did who studied so hard... In any case, since the so-called bribery is completely baseless,

This drinking matter, whether it is done or not, is at most a punishment of being demoted and staying in office, so what big deal is it? Since there is no loss in the Golden Gate Festival, there is no need to be so harsh in other small sections..."

With the idea that Liu Fenggao could not accept bribes, Ruan Yuan did not ask anyone else. After all, there were more things waiting for him to take charge of Haiphong at this time.

Sure enough, not long after, Jiaqing received a report from Lu Yan. When he heard that Liu Fenggao had been exposed to accepting bribes from candidates and helping candidates cheat, Jiaqing was shocked and angry. He immediately gave Ruan Yuan a secret order, ordering him to strictly investigate Liu Fenggao's bribery. And

Ruan Yuan also relied on his confidence in Liu Fenggao and wrote down all of Liu Fenggao's words and deeds that had no solid evidence in the memorial.

"According to many inquiries made by my ministers, there is no real evidence to support the claim that Liu Fenggao was bribed by Xu Bu'ao, a member of the family, to do favors for him. This student may not be in harmony with other students on weekdays, but he suddenly succeeded in the autumn test. Therefore,

There are many things to discuss during life. As for Liu Fenggao being drunk in the examination hall and beating and scolding the supervisors, they are only hearsay and have no solid evidence. Such nonsense cannot be believed..."

At this time, Ruan Yuan still didn't know that this memorial, which advocated Liu Fenggao's innocence, had become the most fatal mistake in his official career. This memorial even almost ruined his career as an official...

Jiaqing was completely dissatisfied with Ruan Yuan's report.

"Ruan Yuan, Ruan Yuan, why are you so confused at times? I can see that in your memorial, you just make empty claims that Liu Fenggao never took bribes. But whether Liu Fenggao's family has any stolen money, who is rumoring Liu Fenggao's various misdeeds?

You can't say a single word in this memorial. How can you reassure me with such a memorial?" It was only because Zhang Jinzhong stood beside Jiaqing that day, waiting to serve him at any time, that Jiaqing did not directly scold Ruan Yuan.

.However, thinking about Liu Fenggao's affairs, he always had to investigate thoroughly, but Jiaqing was not in a hurry. He just placed the memorial on one side of the couch, opened another memorial on the case, and read it.

But just halfway through reading the memorial, Jiaqing's expression changed drastically. The more he read, the angrier he became. As soon as he finished reading the memorial, Jiaqing threw the memorial on the table with a "bang" and said to Zhang Jin

Zhongdao: "Zhang Jinzhong, go quickly and call Guangxing. I have something to ask him. I asked him to come immediately after listening to the instructions. There must be no mistakes!"

Hearing Jiaqing's harsh tone, Zhang Jinzhong naturally did not dare to neglect him, and soon sent a message to Guangxing to come to the Yangxin Hall. When Jiaqing saw Guangxing, he immediately said to him angrily: "Guangxing, look at this person who has been granted the title of Guangxu Si."

The fold, it says, last month, 30% of the silks and satins given to the harem were faded! Why didn’t you count these satins when you distributed them? You actually gave such inferior products to the concubines in the harem for use. Do you want to

Are the harem going to scold me for being stingy?!"

"Your Majesty, this... servant would never think of such a treason!" The Ministry of Internal Affairs is directly under the royal family and is responsible for purchasing utensils for the royal family. Officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs often call themselves slaves when they work alone.

Guangxing was questioned by Jiaqing as the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he followed the custom: "This servant has always been dedicated to the distribution of silk and satin in the harem, making sure that the satin is of good quality every year. This... This is a matter of passing off inferior quality.

It’s impossible!”

"The numbers of inferior satin horses here are all listed clearly, what else can you say?" Seeing Guangxing trying to defend himself, Jiaqing became even more angry and said to Guangxing: "If you don't believe it, then do you want me to go again?"

Once in the harem, let Rufei and Chunbi come to confront you personally with the silk and satin from your hair? I ask you again, is there such a thing as distributing defective products or not?!"

"Your Majesty, this...isn't this your servant's business?" Guangxing broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Jiaqing's repeated rebuke, and finally said, "When I asked my servants to distribute satin, I told them repeatedly.

, must use high-quality silk and satin, this...this is the truth! If...if the silk and satin distributed is defective, it must be...it must be top-grade silk and satin. All of them have been sent out, and there is really no top-grade silk in the treasury, so they will be used.

Are they defective? Your Majesty, I know that these silks and satins are sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs only after the eunuchs in charge of the service and Suzhou Weaving have counted them. If there are not enough high-grade silks and satins, then... it must be because the eunuchs in charge of the work and weaving in Suzhou are lining their own pockets and secretly doing so.

Is it because you withheld the satin bolts that there are not enough satin bolts in the warehouse?"

"Suzhou Weaving? Guangxing, do you know who is the person here who is in charge of handover with Suzhou Weaving?" Jiaqing became angrier after hearing Guangxing's argument, and said: "Zhang Jinzhong, Guangxing said that you were in charge of handover of silk and satin with Suzhou Weaving."

At that time, the satin was withheld, is there such a thing?" It turned out that the eunuch sent by Jiaqing to hand over the silk to Suzhou was Zhang Jinzhong. Guangxing was panicked for a while, and he spoke without hesitation, and he hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Your Majesty, this... servant has absolutely nothing to do with lining his own pockets?" Zhang Jinzhong heard Jiaqing accuse him, and immediately knelt down and said to Jiaqing: "This Guangxing him... his words and deeds are arrogant, and his eyes are not holy. Such.

Your Majesty, please don’t believe these ridiculous words. If Your Majesty doesn’t believe it, then I will ask Your Majesty to confiscate my house. If I find that I have cheated on you, I will let Your Majesty decide what to do without complaining!”

"Guangxing, you said that Zhang Jinzhong stole silk and satin. Do you have any actual evidence for this?" Jiaqing asked again.

"This...this..." Guangxing was at a loss for words when Jiaqing asked this. He thought that in the past few years, Jiaqing had repeatedly asked him to participate in important cases and had given him many rewards. He thought that after a while, he could do the same.

He entered the military aircraft department and even replaced Qinggui and Tuojin as candidates for the bachelor's degree. He was so proud of his ambition that he gradually became less cautious in his words and deeds during these days. Sure enough, he made an oversight when distributing satin. He thought that Jiaqing was right.

He trusted himself so much that he would not punish himself severely, so he prevaricated and even thought about passing on the crisis, but he didn't want to speak to himself, but there were mistakes everywhere. Seeing Jiaqing's serious look, he couldn't say even a single word.

"There is no real evidence, why do you want to frame others for no reason!" Sure enough, Jiaqing began to lose patience with Guangxing, but recalling Zhang Jinzhong's words at this time, Jiaqing felt a little puzzled, and asked Zhang Jinzhong: "Zhang Jinzhong, what did you just say?

Guangxing's words and deeds are wild and ungrateful, and his actions in the Yangxin Palace today are not worthy of mention. Could it be that Guangxing has other inappropriate behaviors?"

"In response to your Majesty's words, that's when I went to invite everyone to come over." Zhang Jinzhong heard Jiaqing's question and replied: "I just arrived at the House of Internal Affairs and happened to see Mr. Guangxing sitting in the main hall, so I

The emperor's oral edict was told to the majority of people, but the majority of people listened to the emperor's oral edict and sat high in the hall from beginning to end. They neither knelt down to receive the edict nor left their seats. After listening to the slaves' edict, Guangxing also put on a show of airs.

After a while, I got up and prepared to go to the throne. Your Majesty, at that time there were many ministers in the Ministry of Internal Affairs who saw the slave pronounce the decree in person. What the slave said was definitely not even half-false!"

"Guangxing, how do you explain this?" Jiaqing asked Guangxing sternly.

"Your Majesty, this..." After Guangxing listened to Zhang Jinzhong's words and heard Jiaqing's harsh words, he gradually understood that Jiaqing was really angry with him this time. But just now, the situation in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was just as Zhang Jinzhong said, even if

He denied it, and if he really found someone to confront him, the truth would be revealed immediately. In desperation, he had no choice but to kowtow to Jiaqing and say: "Back to the emperor, this servant is confused. I was blind at the time. When I saw Mr. Zhang coming over, I thought I was just telling him casually.

I didn’t know that this servant had an audience... but I didn’t know that Chamberlain Zhang came here with the emperor’s instructions? Your Majesty, this servant is rude, please punish me severely!”

"That's enough!" Jiaqing saw Guangxing in such a panic, and he felt angry. With a "bang", he slapped his palm on the table and scolded Guangxing: "Guangxing, you are like this now."

You look like this, how can you live up to the cultivation I have given you over the years? The Ministry of Internal Affairs counts the gifts, but you cannot keep strict supervision. Zhang Jinzhong declares an edict to you, and you are so rebellious. When I ask you about the gift, you just ask for excuses.

Seeing that you have no excuses, you still want to frame others. With these four mistakes, how can you still be the Minister of the Interior?! Do you think that you are diligent in doing things and I praise you so much that you can do whatever you want and deceive me?

I'm telling you, I could use you the day before yesterday, and I can take away your official position today! From today on, you don't need to be the Minister of the Interior. You don't have to worry about the affairs of the Ministry of Justice for the time being.

Please regret it, if you are still stubborn, don’t blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Seeing that his unworthy deeds were exposed, Guangxing did not dare to say anything more and only asked Jiaqing to let him go.

"Forget it, I'll let others handle the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can go back today." Jiaqing's anger was still lingering, so he dismissed Guangxing first. However, seeing that there was no one in front of the Yangxin Hall,

Jiaqing also felt a little more emotional.

"Ruan Yuan and Guang Xing are my trusted ministers who have been promoted by me. I told the military and aircraft ministers the day before yesterday that if the pirates can be put down this time, even though Ruan Yuan is a civilian official, he has visited various coastal prefectures several times to supervise the war.

, for this merit, it is not an exaggeration for me to give him a worldly position, Yunqiwei... Qiduwei, I can also give him. If Guangxing has more achievements, I can promote him to the post of six ministers.

But now you are like this..."

However, even though Jiaqing was a little disappointed with Guangxing, he still thought that as long as Guangxing lived at home honestly for a few days and could honestly admit his mistakes after the New Year, he would be reinstated. After all, Guangxing was capable of doing things.
