Chapter 203 Big Event (I Want to Live for Decades 4)
The emperor of Tang Dynasty was very busy.
He spent more time in the Liyuan every day. In the court, more important ministers handled political affairs and then asked the emperor for instructions.
If Suzaku were here, he would definitely say that the emperor is a human being and the ministers are remote controls.
Today, when the emperor comes to court, important ministers are talking about important matters, and the impeachment of the county magistrate seems particularly abrupt.
It's too small a thing.
The emperor did not even read the memorial.
"check……"
Immediately the news entered the harem.
"I'm waiting to see that bitch's face." The queen sat in front of the bronze mirror, with a palace servant combing her hair behind her.
The palace man smiled and said: "Last time, that bitch praised the little county magistrate in front of His Majesty and the empress. Now he has been slapped in the face. I don't know how much suffering it is."
The queen looked at herself in the bronze mirror and said calmly: "Last time I mentioned that the rising star among the Yang family was quite good, and Your Majesty also nodded for it. When the bitch saw this, he mentioned the Taiping County Magistrate and praised him.
, what a victor, what a young and promising person. She wanted to slap me in the face, but now she went back. Bitch!"
She looked calm, but her voice contained deep-seated hatred.
The palace maid combed her hair and then left.
The queen looked at the empty palace with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"That year I entered the palace, you were full of heroic spirit, and I was smiling like a flower. We were also deeply in love. But in a blink of an eye, you became the prince, and from then on, only power was in your eyes. For this reason, you put aside your family affection."
"The same goes for the head of my aristocratic family, so I endured it, thinking that the emperor is ruthless. But you shamelessly took away your daughter-in-law and brought her into the palace."
"I have never heard of you being so shameless. From that moment on, I know that what you care about is never friendship. You only have yourself in your eyes."
"It turns out that you and that bitch were just having fun together, but now you are gradually using your love."
"Old dog, do you also have feelings for me?"
"Today I'm going to slap that bitch in the face and make you feel bad. Hahahaha!"
The queen's laughter echoed in the palace.
The imperial concubine also learned the news.
"Talented ink?"
"Yes, it's said that he was greedy for two sums of food."
The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes and said decisively: "This person is useless, let him be cut off."
Jiao Li was a little dumbfounded, and after a moment's delay, she said, "Yes."
Then the emperor came in.
"I am guilty."
"What's Hongyan's crime?"
Han Shitou was outside, with a look of confusion in his eyes.
Later, news came that someone was going north to bring Yang Xuan back for questioning.
And fast!
It is said that Yang used all his strength.
Opportunities to slap the concubine in the face don't come often, so you have to seize it, the sooner the better.
After serving, Han Shitou returned to his residence outside the imperial city today.
He sat in his study in a daze.
"It shouldn't be!"
"Even if the young man wants to be greedy, how can the people around him not stop him?"
Others may be greedy for ink, but Yang Xuan is not!
Otherwise, the manpower arranged by His Majesty was seriously derelict in their duties, and even if they were killed, they would not be forgiven.
Is it a frame-up?
Han Shitou frowned, feeling that Yang Xuan should not take the path of a noble concubine.
Even if it's a different left prime minister.
But the Zuo Xiang is too deep-minded, and the consequences for Xiao Langjun in his hands may be unpredictable.
After much thought, he actually felt that relying on the imperial concubine was the fastest and best way.
…
As the autumn wind blew gently, more than ten riders entered Chang'an City.
Wang Yugui also came back.
After entering the city, he glanced at Yang Xuan who was caught in the middle, cupped his hands and said: "Yang Ming Mansion, take care of yourself, we will see you later."
He added softly, "See you in prison."
Yang Xuanmuran.
Liang Jing happened to enter the palace.
"Empress, Yang Xuan has been escorted back."
Liang Jing looked a little sad and uncomfortable.
"It's up to you how to deal with it."
The imperial concubine said with a cold face, "If he is short of money, can't he think of other ways? But he is greedy for money, you idiot!"
"Mother, the queen is here."
Liang Jing had no choice but to resign.
When he went out, he saw the queen, with a graceful look on her face.
Then the two dragons...no, the two phoenixes competed against each other.
The imperial concubine threw her beloved vase afterwards.
Liang Jing went back again.
"That bitch actually ridiculed me, saying that I took all the dead animals and horses by my side and regarded me as a talent." The imperial concubine's face turned pale, "That bitch also used the excuse of her so-called relative's past affairs and that her savior was in jail. No,
Save, I feel uneasy and have nightmares at night. Save, but it violates the law. Bitch!"
Yang Xuan saved the imperial concubine, but the queen raised the matter and the imperial concubine died.
Save or not?
Not to help is to be ungrateful and unjust.
Saved...
Liang Jing's expression changed, "This is not just a slap in the face, their people are probably waiting for you to come to your rescue and then impeach you. Maybe even Yang Songcheng will personally take action. My Majesty, you can't be saved!"
"I know." The imperial concubine sat down and said angrily, "I just can't swallow this breath!"
Liang Jing sighed: "Yang Xuan is a good man, but it's a pity that he didn't control his greed. If he was short of money and came to me directly, wouldn't I be able to let him go?"
"What are you talking about?!" The imperial concubine was still angry.
Liang Jing then went to inquire about the news and learned that Yang Xuan had entered the Ministry of Punishment.
Zheng Qi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, was the chief thug of Guozhangyang.
"Zitai, you...hey!"
Yang Songcheng was drinking tea with Zheng Qi.
Zheng Qi would not come forward for such an interrogation. Not only would it be embarrassing, but he would also be accused of being narrow-minded.
"If this thing works well, we can give that bitch a heavy blow." Zheng Qi smiled.
"I know." Yang Songcheng smiled happily, "The queen and the prince have been suppressed for too long, and it's time to take advantage of the situation. As for that bitch, if she doesn't come to rescue, can't we spread the word for her?"
Zheng Qi understood it, "The imperial concubine's savior was imprisoned, but the imperial concubine turned a blind eye. Such a heart! It's more poisonous than snakes and scorpions."
Public opinion makes gold, but accumulation destroys bones. When public opinion is in the hands of others, the emperor will not be able to help himself.
"Guozhang."
The entourage came in and nodded to Zheng Qi. Zheng Qi did not dare to neglect and nodded in return.
"How?" Yang Songcheng asked.
"Liang Jing was quite upset when he left the palace. He also asked where Yang Xuan had gone. When he heard that he was from the Ministry of Punishment, his face was extremely ugly."
Yang Songcheng felt relieved, "We are not planning to rescue him. So, we will start talking about it as soon as the evidence of Yang Xuan's crime is confirmed."
Zheng Qi nodded, "I will go back and keep an eye on you now to prevent the villain from interfering."
Yang Songcheng said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. After the matter is settled, come to my house for a drink."
"must."
Zheng Qi smiled and immediately returned to the Criminal Department.
The emperor did not hand over the matter to the mirror. This was because he knew the resolute attitude of the father-in-law and the four surnames of the family behind him, and made a concession.
The power of the abbot! Zheng Qi said quietly: "A man should be like this!"
When they arrived at the Ministry of Justice, Zheng Qi asked about Yang Xuan's situation.
"He said he was hungry. We couldn't torture him after all, so we bought him a piece of cake. But this man actually said that it was not the cake from Mrs. Hu's house in Dongshi. It didn't taste right and he wouldn't eat it."
"He is delaying, waiting for the person in the palace to come to his rescue and buy it for him."
As a corrupt official, Yang Xuan was placed in the duty room for questioning.
After buying the Hu cake, Yang Xuan sniffed it and took another bite.
"It still smells the same."
Eating Hu cakes and drinking hot tea.
The officials who asked questions just sneered.
"I've eaten the Hu biscuits and drank the hot tea. If you don't say anything, no one will be able to say anything wrong when we start!"
"Don't think that anyone is backing you. We are the Ministry of Justice here, and your palace's backstage won't work here!"
"explain!"
Yang Xuan ate Hu biscuits, drank hot tea, and burped, which made up for half of the pain of having to eat and sleep in the open.
"say what?"
"Telling you about corruption."
“Have I ever been corrupt?”
"If you don't see the coffin, you won't cry; if you don't see the woman, you won't..."
"Cough cough cough!"
The official in charge was so angry that Yang Xuanmo blurted out what he had said when he was teasing the woman in private, which was almost embarrassing.
Suzaku added: "No women, no flags!"
The official slapped the table and asked, "Where did those two sums of food go?"
Another official said sadly: "Officials often use excuses like this when they are greedy for food. We can tell at a glance. Why are you pretending to be clean? Tell me!"
"It's moldy and unfit for consumption. Do you have an old official around you to give advice?"
"If we hadn't kept an eye on you, I'm afraid this matter would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean."
It is common for officials to be corrupt. Generally speaking, as long as the amount of corruption is not large and does not cause a big negative impact in the local area. Or no one is watching you, then congratulations, you landed safely.
If you want to talk about an investigation, unless someone is watching from above, who would be able to go around the world to investigate officials?
We don't have the manpower either.
In many cases, the administration of officials in the Tang Dynasty relied more on the officials' own moral cultivation and self-discipline.
But the world is getting worse!
Officials are becoming more and more bold, and the number of corruption cases is increasing every year.
The official smiled grimly and said, "That food has disappeared without a trace a long time ago. We can convict you based on the account books. Do you understand? Even if you are not corrupt, the account books are corrupt!"
Another person laughed and said: "Even if the food is really inedible, it should be reported to the Ministry of Revenue rather than dealt with privately."
He came over, leaned over, and said solemnly: "You want to say that there is no evidence? Let me tell you, you have been guilty since the word mold was recorded in the account book."
Yang Xuan raised his head.
"But, I'm really not corrupt!"
"Who can prove it?"
"Many people in northern Xinjiang."
"who?"
This is a big case!
Several officials looked at each other, excited.
Zheng Qi outside also felt refreshed and whispered: "Record clearly."
Yang Xuan spoke:
"Military and civilians of Taiping County."
"Chenzhou military and civilians."
"The military and civilians of Northern Xinjiang."
…
Taiping County County House.
"I think this is inappropriate!"
Qian Ji sat in the duty room and looked at Cao Ying with squinted eyes, "Does Magistrate Cao want to cover up the sky with one hand? I'm here, don't even think about it!"
Cao Ying looked at him with a calm expression.
Back house.
Yi Niang was making clothes. Occasionally she looked up at the south and muttered: "I wonder when the husband will come back?"
Zhang Siniang squatted beside her, "Yiniang."
"Um!"
"Why aren't you worried about Mr. Lang?"
Yi Niang smiled, "Because Lang Jun will come back."
…
Chenzhou.
"Should the memorial have arrived?"
Liu Qing asked.
Lu Qiang nodded, "She should arrive later than Yang Xuan."
"Don't be too late. If the little kid gets beaten, he will definitely come to me to beat the autumn wind."
Lu Qiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will follow closely into the city."
Liu Qing nodded, "Hey! The kids are getting more and more successful. I'm going to plant vegetables."
…
Northern Xinjiang.
Tao County.
The weather was good, Huang Chunhui sat there and took a nap very comfortably.
When I woke up, Liao Jin happened to come in.
"Ms. sir."
"Um!"
Liao Jin sat down, picked up the cattail fan and fanned himself a few times, and said happily: "Comfortable."
"What do you think of this attack?"
Liao Jin said: "As my husband said, the discrimination between the DPRK and China in Northern Xinjiang did not happen overnight. If we can continue to tolerate it, it will happen. However, Northern Liao continues to grow, while Northern Xinjiang can only stand still. How can it continue like this? So
Just turn around and show those people the temper of the people in Northern Xinjiang."
"How many years have you endured in Northern Xinjiang? Money and food have been withheld, and countless grains have been ruined. I have endured it for the sake of the overall interests of Northern Xinjiang." Huang Chunhui drooped his eyelids, "This time someone from the DPRK is going to inspect, and it is Yang Songcheng's dog that comes, Your Majesty
If I had intervened to stop it, or asked one of my own people to take charge of the matter, I could have tolerated it, but Your Majesty, he didn't care."
"It's so much fun in the opera garden!" Liao Jin lamented, "They would rather throw the good things to the southern Xinjiang where they are living a happy life than to the northern Xinjiang where they are fighting against strong enemies in the biting cold wind, you bitch slaves!"
"I don't care about this, but the kids are very angry. Who is that..."
"Yang Xuan."
"Yes, the little boy sent someone to ask me if I wanted to do a big business. I was curious at the time, what kind of business is this?"
Liao Jin smiled and said: "This is not a business, this is a big pit."
Huang Chunhui smiled, "Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du also made suggestions, saying that digging a hole with the account books is not enough, it is best to let the army mutiny. The kid knows the consequences of the mutiny. This is just to provoke me. Hahahaha!"
Liao Jin said: "It's not cruel enough. If you follow my method, you should not let Yang Songcheng shed a layer of skin!"
Huang Chunhui said happily: "Let's not worry about it. We'll just watch over the little ones and watch them tossing and tossing. What will happen... As long as they don't die, at least we are still here and can bring them back."
Liao Jin said with a smile: "Your Majesty is tempering them."
"We can't do it without hard work." Huang Chunhui said: "The civil and military forces in Northern Xinjiang will gradually change. Those officials transferred from outside don't know the details. Our own people must work hard and continue to guard Northern Xinjiang for the Tang Dynasty."
Liao Jin nodded, "By the way, what are Mr. Yang Xuan's plans after this?"
Huang Chunhui opened his old eyes.
"He's just a county magistrate. If I interfere with his career, do you think... the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty is so worthless?"
Liao Jin laughed haha.
Later, Huang Chunhui woke up from his nap.
"Don't let that little brat leave Northern Xinjiang!"
…
Chang'an.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the emperor was in court, Zheng Qi, the Minister of Punishment, mentioned the case.
"Your Majesty, although this is a small case, I am thinking that if a magistrate of Taiping County dares to embezzle two pennies of food, what about the entire Northern Xinjiang? I don't dare to think about it."
Let's take advantage of the situation and pour a basin of dirty water over to Northern Xinjiang.
The emperor did not take up the topic, "The county magistrate should deal with it."
Zheng Qi smiled and said: "He keeps shouting injustice."
"Is there any grievance?" the emperor asked as usual.
"This person said that good grain is moldy or uneatable, and he is just greedy." Zheng Qi said solemnly: "There is a mountain of ironclad evidence!"
Regarding the queen, her own daughter, Yang Songcheng made an exception and made an exception.
"Your Majesty, this matter should not be taken lightly, lest it triggers imitation."
This is a reminder to the emperor not to be blown away by the wind in his pillow and to let corrupt officials go.
"His Majesty."
There are officials outside the palace.
The emperor nodded, and the official came in, holding a wooden box in his hand.
"What is it?"
"Memorial."
"Where did it come from? So many."
"Northern Xinjiang."
"What's the matter?"
"The governors of the states in Northern Xinjiang, the Jiedushi envoys of Northern Xinjiang, the deputy envoys of Northern Xinjiang and others came to Shu."
Big event!
The emperor was also startled, "Say!"
The official said: "Many officials in northern Xinjiang impeached the Ministry of Revenue."
He glanced at Yang Songcheng and said, "The grain allocated by the Ministry of Revenue every year has been reduced by 20%. The remaining 80%, at least 20% to 30%, is either moldy or unedible."
