Chapter 1121 Mixed joys and sorrows
Lin Weiran had already done a lot of work in advance to impeach Gao Yao this time and even made predictions on the development of the situation.
However, the real decision-making power of the matter is in the hands of Jiajing. Jiajing did not adopt the charge of "provoking royal disputes" and may not believe in the accusation of "greed for the ink".
Fortunately, things did not go to the worst direction. Although Jiajing hoped that there would be a minister of the Ministry of Revenue like Gao Yao and the intention to cover up him, he could not tolerate greed.
Faced with Jiajing's inquiry, Lin Xun seemed to be honest and honest: "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true! This data has information to be found, and the difference between the actual data will not exceed 50,000 stones. I believe Gao Shangshu is very clear about this!"
At the end, he looked at Gao Yao next to him again, and he wanted to leave the problem to Gao Yao.
"The emperor clearly understands that if I am greedy for a penny, I would be beaten by the sky with five thunder!" Gao Yao looked aggrieved in the cabinet, and raised the three fingers of his right hand and pointed at the sky and swore.
Lin Xuran was not surprised when he heard this oath, but his face was always filled with appropriate anger, and he seemed to be deemed that Gao Yao was a person with great sin.
Jiajing is not a sentimental person. He tends to be rational in his work and has a lot of doubts. Naturally, he will not believe that Gao Yao is really innocent just because of a vow.
His face remained calm, but he asked Gao Yao to prove it lightly: "Gao Aiqing, the Lumi of the Zongfu really deducted 1.5 million more than in previous years?"
Although he had known for a long time that Gao Yao was interested in deducting the Lumi of the Zongxian, he had always chosen to pretend to be confused and naturally would not know the specific amount. He could only guess that the amount was indeed not small.
Just facing the figure of 1.5 million stones, Jiajing was secretly shocked. You know, the rice and grain transported to the capital every year are only about 4 million stones, and Gao Yao actually intercepted 150.
Wanshi.
It was also at this time that he understood more clearly why he felt that he had been generous in recent years. It was not that he chose the right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ming Dynasty's finances did not have substantial improvements, all because of the many from the royal family.
He took one million and a half million stones of rice.
I originally thought that Lin Xuran’s accusation just now was exaggerating, but if he intercepted it like this, the vassal side would probably be in chaos sooner or later, and it would even cause internal disputes within the royal family.
"Weichen has no...statistics, but it is estimated that...there is not much difference!" Gao Yao seemed hesitant and finally admitted honestly with a gritty bullet.
When Huang Jin and others heard Gao Yao admit it, they sighed in their hearts and shook their heads gently. It turned out that the Minister of Revenue was good at managing finances, and they were just boldly intercepting the vassal of the clan and the rice.
"Where did you use the silver? You can bring it to me!" Jiajing's accumulated anger suddenly burst out, and he threw the account book in his hand heavily at Gao Yao and asked angrily.
Over the past few decades, he has been able to firmly grasp the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. In addition to personally inquire about important personnel appointments and removals, he also has a lot of experience in finance, at least the arithmetic is still good.
At present, the Ming Dynasty has increased its income everywhere, especially the increase of one million and a half million shi of rice is hidden, which can do a lot of things. However, the report card given by the Ministry of Revenue is only a project cost of more than 300,000 taels.
Even if it was him, he would not want to ask the previous question: Where did this silver flower go?
Bang!
The account book first hit the ground heavily and echoed clearly in the huge palace. After the account book fell on the smooth ground, it happened to slide in front of Gao Yao.
Faced with the raging anger that broke out from Jiajing, the entire hall seemed to be filled with needles, and no one dared to touch Jiajing's bad luck here unless he really didn't want to live.
"I am wronged, please give me a clear explanation!"
Facing Jiajing's anger, Gao Yao hurriedly made an offer to seek justice against the account book that slid into front of him. However, he didn't know whether he was scared, or was revealed in his true feelings, or had a performance element, and two lines of tears fell on his cheeks.
Lin Qingran knew that Gao Yao was a wolf in sheep's clothing, but he did not want to stop. Instead, he added fire: "Emperor, since Gao Shangshu cannot explain clearly, please order to check the account book of the Ministry of Revenue and give it to the people of the world.
An explanation!"
you……
Gao Yao was on the ground, hoping that the emperor would believe that he was wronged for his pitifulness. When he pressed against Lin Weiran step by step, his teeth were broken with hatred.
A few days ago, he was thinking about killing this guy who had lost his luck, and even felt it was as simple as killing an ant. But things turned too fast and were easily resolved by this guy.
Before entering the palace, he thought he was generous and let the other party go. But he never expected that the opponent's counterattack was so fast and fierce that it almost cost him his life.
Lu Mi, who deducted the royal family, was originally his "way to survive", but now it was easily exposed by this kid, and he even took the opportunity to pour dirty water on him.
The situation is getting worse and worse now. If it weren't for the ally Xu Jie, he would have even fallen into the hands of this kid.
Facing Lin Junran's petition, Jiajing did not answer positively, but turned his head to look at Xu Jie with a serious face and asked, "Gei Xu, what do you say?"
Huh?
Lin Qingran originally thought that Jiajing would ask Yan Song for advice, but he didn't want to go directly over Yan Song, but instead asked Xu Jie's opinion. He just didn't know if this was the emperor's mind or if Yan Song really fell out of favor.
Gao Yao looked at Xu Jie pitifully as if he had caught a life-saving grass.
"I agree with the proposal of Prefect Lin and ordered the verification of the account book of the Ministry of Revenue!" Xu Jie ignored Gao Yao's gaze, but said to Jiajing's gaze with a righteous look on his face.
Jiajing nodded gently and said, "Geither Xu, then leave it to you and the Censorate for verification!"
"I obey the order!" Xu Jie's face looked unpredictable and bowed in a regular manner.
"I'm tired, you all retreat!" Jiajing yawned and raised his hand tiredly.
"I'm going to leave!"
Gao Yao bowed honestly, but he was mixed with joy and sorrow.
Although he did not do anything greedy and the investigation was led by Xu Jie, he felt a great uneasiness in his heart and always felt targeted by a little poisonous snake.
"I'm going to leave!"
Lin Weiran also bowed in a regular manner, but he didn't feel much joy in his heart. Although things were going on as he expected, the investigation team was not led by Yan Song, but by Xu Jie, and there were undoubtedly great variables in the matter.
Out of etiquette, even though Xu Jie and Gao Yao were already at the forefront, he obediently landed at the end and took the initiative to support Yan Song out of the hall together.
"If you are foolish, if you are free, come to my place and sit down!"
