Why in the Hanyuan Palace, the officials who were filled with righteous indignation just now suddenly became so quiet?

This is because Liu Jibai put on a big hat.

There were more than 50 people in Hanyuan Hall who had just angrily reprimanded Liu Jibai, and the crowd was agitated, and they asked Zhou Emperor to kill Liu Jibai.Regardless of whether Liu Jibai is talking nonsense, you think such a number of ministers are suspected of forming a party for personal gain, what would the Emperor Zhou think on the throne?

Secondly, what Liu Jibai said was the truth.

It is true that there is a problem with the accounts of Water Transport.The leaders of all parties in the DPRK and China knew it well, and even Emperor Zhou knew that there was something wrong with the water transportation.Among the ministers who criticized Liu Jibai, there were indeed cliques, such as the Chu Royal Party.

Like the Xungui Group, some bureaucrats participating in the Jingying Group and the Ministry of Household Affairs are not actually party members in the strict sense. These people have no political pursuits, they just want to make money by smuggling.At most, it is considered a criminal group, and it is said to be a party, but in fact, they are already too high on them.

Third, many ministers were scolding Liu Jibai just now, the law does not blame the public, so it doesn't hurt to scold Liu Jibai together.However, whoever dares to take the lead in this situation will be a target for Emperor Zhou! ?Heaven's power is unpredictable.

People with brains will choose to be silent, wait a bit, look at the situation, and then make plans, and those who can stand on the Hanyuan Hall, not to mention smart, but there are definitely not many idiots.

That's why now, Liu Jibai suppressed the entire audience with his own power!

At this time, Yang Qingyuan, who had just returned to the queue, stood up again.

"Your Majesty! What Master Liu said just now was just asking His Majesty to thoroughly investigate this matter. The officials were so angry that it should not have happened. I recently investigated the matter of water transport and obtained a copy of the account book from Pan Qianweng, the bandit leader of the Cao Gang. Li Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sorted it out overnight, and simply integrated the taxes that were missed by water transport smuggling in the past three months!"

Yang Qingyuan took out a memorial from his sleeve, "I have recorded all of them here! Your Majesty, please read it!"

After Emperor Zhou got it, he looked at the "August to October Shendu Water Transport Tax Evasion Audit Form" attached to the memorial. For the fourth time, he lost control of his expression and his face became darker and darker.

"Yang Qing, what you said in the memorial is true?!"

"I dare not lie to Your Majesty, every word in the Memorial is true."

Emperor Zhou could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and slapped his palm on the throne.

Of course, Emperor Zhou didn't understand martial arts, so he didn't respond, but the ministers present could feel the anger of Emperor Zhou at this time.

"What a good minister of mine! In three months, Water Transport has evaded 87 taels of tax?! How can this be my minister? It's clearly a group of moths digging up the roots of my great Zhou!!"

The more Emperor Zhou thought about it, the more angry he became. He reduced his clothing and diet, and did not even dare to overhaul the leaking roof of the palace. He used as much money as possible from the treasury for state affairs. As for his internal funds, only 3 taels were left. Not anymore.

But now the group of people who control the water transportation behind the scenes have made a profit of 87 taels in just three months. The comparison between the two completely ignited the anger in Emperor Zhou's heart.

Originally thinking about the military exploits of the nobles' ancestors, Emperor Zhou didn't plan to deal with them according to law, just fine them and lose their titles.Now, Emperor Zhou has absolutely no intention of showing mercy.

"Cheng Qing?! Wei Qing?!" Emperor Zhou looked at the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Cheng Qing, the censor of the right capital, and Wei Donglai, the minister of punishment.

"Chen is here!"

"The case will be handed over to Dali Temple Prime Minister Yang Qingyuan. The Metropolitan Procuratorate will send personnel to supervise it, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice will send personnel to assist! I must catch all the moths attached to Dazhou's body!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The lineup of the Ministry of Punishment, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple has not appeared since the desolation of Dali Temple.

The joint trial of the three divisions showed Emperor Zhou's determination to thoroughly investigate the matter at this time.

The faces of Uncle Peng Cheng and others on the side turned green. They originally wanted to clean up Yang Qingyuan through the matter of sealing up the water transport. Even if he could not be dismissed, it would at least hinder Yang Qingyuan from continuing to investigate. Turned the table over.

Liu Bin on the side looked at his son who got up and stood confidently. At this moment, he felt that his son had grown up. He suppressed the feat of impeaching the officials in the palace by himself. Although it was not planned by his son, it was done by his son himself. of.

Let Liu Jibai follow Yang Qingyuan, maybe he made the most correct decision in educating his son.

If Liu Jibai can follow Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan to study, he will definitely improve in the future.

At the same time, this old bureaucrat who has been in the court for 20 years also praised Yang Qingyuan's plan.

If Yang Qingyuan raised the issue of water transportation, even if Emperor Zhou trusted Yang Qingyuan again, in his eyes, he might have other ideas.

The Xungui Group had just impeached Yang Qingyuan, and Yang Qingyuan reported that the Xungui Group was making a fuss about water transportation. Even if it was true, he would still be suspected of private revenge.

If Liu Jibai took action, the result would be completely different. Liu Jibai is the director of the Water Transportation Department of the Ministry of Households in the wharf office. It is most reasonable for him to expose the problems in the water transportation. In the end, Yang Qingyuan will make up the knife. kill.

Originally, Liu Bin's philosophy of life would not get involved in this struggle, because once he participated in the matter of water transportation, he would stand on the opposite side of the King of Chu by default and offend a prince who might succeed to the throne. Youzi, it is impossible to do.

But what Yang Qingyuan revealed this time was too big, involving the theft of the state treasury and granary, not to mention the fact, even if it was a little bit involved, the king of Chu should have no chance of being a big man, and harming the country for personal gain, this is something His Majesty cannot tolerate.

Liu Bin also took advantage of the situation and took a share of the merits of the dragon.And his son also made a great contribution, until the end of the dynasty, Liu Bin was still happy in his heart.

After the court was over, Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan were about to go back to the Yamen to continue handling the case, when a voice transmission stopped them.

"Master Yang! Li Yushi! You two stay behind!"

Dongchang Factory Governor Cao Zhengchun appeared behind Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan. He should be said to be the only four masters of the Dongxuan Realm in the court. The leader, Zhou Di's personal bodyguard.

Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan stopped in their tracks, and looked at Cao Zhengchun who was approaching with a smile on his face.

I have to say that Cao Zhengchun is indeed a high-quality performance. Don't look at Zhu Wushi and his group of adopted sons who are upright and awe-inspiring, but in dealing with people, they are really inferior to Governor Cao. They treat Governor Cao one by one. dog.

On the other hand, Governor Cao, it's different, one mouthful of a god, one mouthful of a Begonia girl, and when it's the worst, it's just Zhu Tiedan.

Regardless of right or wrong, Governor Cao can be regarded as a cute villain based on his culture, especially now that he is not in power, he can't even be regarded as a villain.

Cao Zhengchun also admired Yang Qingyuan and Li Xunhuan. Although they both came from Qingliu, they were not as pedantic as ordinary scholars, and they didn't have any contempt for eunuchs like them. They gave people the feeling that they were worth making friends with.
