Chapter 565 Li Daxianggong became Li Xianggong
Li Sancai is also an old official, so he knows what Chen Zeng wants.
He smiled slightly, and was not in a hurry to say anything about Cheng Shouxun. Instead, he praised Chen Zeng for a while, saying that since he was appointed as the mining supervisor, he has been honest and capable, and can be regarded as the leader of tax envoys in various provinces.
Chen Zeng said this and was very pleasant to hear.
However, Li Sancai quickly changed his subject and shook his head and said, "But Mr. Chen didn't know that your subordinate Cheng Shouxun was indeed a bit unbearable. The person who accused him was not a false accusation, but a false accusation."
"Hey, whether it's false accusations or the truth, they are all troublemakers. Why should the Chief Secretary pay attention to it? Come, have a drink, eat wine..." Chen Zeng said as he was about to raise his glass.
Li Sancai smiled and signaled that he was not in a hurry, and continued, "Mr. Chen might as well listen to my official's words."
"Oh well."
Chen Zeng put down his wine glass and felt upset. Could this Grand Grand Master Li ask him to come to the banquet and have no good intentions?
"Mr. Chen can tell that this person, Cheng, embezzled more than 600,000 silver coins. In addition, the antiques and jewelry he plundered were innumerable, and the real estate stores he occupied were also amazing. Don't Chen really know about these?" Li Sancai looked at Chen Zeng in surprise.
"There is still this?"
Chen Zeng was stunned. He really didn't know that Cheng Shouxun was greedy so much, so he hurriedly asked Li San where he learned it.
"Mr. Chen will see it for yourself."
Li Sancai signaled Chen Zeng to read the letters himself.
Chen Zeng opened it and saw that the letters were all evidence of Cheng Shouxun's corruption, and they were listed in detail, on which day they received the silver and on which day they robbed the goods. They were very detailed. Even the places where Cheng Shouxun hid money were clearly marked. It must be an insider, and the people under Cheng Shouxun exposed it, otherwise it would not be so clear.
Now, Chen Zeng cursed in his heart: Good, your surname is Cheng, your hands are so bad. Our family trusts you so much and lets you stand alone, but you are playing with our family as a three-year-old child!... Your mother, more than 600,000 taels, our family and the emperor don't have much more than you!...
"According to my opinion, this person will ruin my father-in-law's great cause in the future and bring disaster to my father-in-law. Now Cheng's bad deeds are obvious. He is like a tiger shortly after he was released. Why don't you personally tie the tiger and give it up?" Li San realized that Chen Zeng had already gotten angry with Cheng Shouxun and lured him in time.
"This lawless person won't cure him..." Chen Zeng suddenly closed his lips tightly, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Family scandals should not be made public, and so much money is involved.
Chen Zeng secretly said that although Cheng Shouxun had eaten alone and had less than one-tenth of the money he had, it was a family matter after all. He didn't know it before, so he let him take it alone. Now that he knows it, how can this money still belong to him, Cheng Shouxun.
As long as he calls people and shows his power, Cheng Shouxun is not obedient.
Otherwise, if you report to the capital secretly, don’t say that you are just a clerk, or even a chief official?
But according to Li Sancai's opinion, where does Eunuch Chen get the benefits?
It is not scary for a butcher, it is this Grand Duke Li.
Chen Zeng was also keen, otherwise he would not have been snatched from this Shandong mining supervisor.
Soon, he tasted some flavor.
If Li Sancai really wants to treat Cheng Shouxun, what wine should he ask him to eat?
"The Chief Secretary may say something clearly."
"I have already said what I should say, but fortunately this paper fell into my hands. Otherwise, Your Majesty Long Yan was furious. Cheng Shouxun was going to lose his head, and Mr. Chen's future was ruined. To be gentle, to be gentle..."
"The wise man doesn't say secret words, so we will treat Cheng Shouxun when we go back. But can Zhongcheng settle this matter for our family? Our family..." Chen Zeng gritted his teeth, "My family's wealth, our family will give Zhongcheng half."
Li Sancai smiled and said nothing, just as Chen Zeng had a drink.
Both sides knew what was going on.
After Chen Zeng returned, he immediately called Cheng Shouxun to intimidate him. Cheng Shouxun revealed everything in detail and was finally forced to sacrifice most of his property, leaving only tens of thousands of taels and a few real estates.
If it weren't for the execution of Cheng Shouxun's son-in-law who was personally conferred by the emperor, the execution would have caused trouble and led to the palace sending people to investigate, Chen Zeng would definitely not keep him.
It's really money that touches people's hearts.
After getting hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and countless treasures, Chen Zeng's eyes became louder. He worked hard for seven or eight years and the mining tax officer did not earn so much. He really wanted to share half of the money to Li Sancai, and he was unwilling to accept it no matter how he thought about it.
So he sent someone to give Li San a hundred thousand taels, and the rest of the time he thought of dragging it out first and finding an excuse to fool him.
However, Li Sancai is even more sophisticated than him.
After Chen Zeng left, Li Sancai considered that the money was touching. Chen Zengzhen got a huge sum of money from Cheng Shouxun, and he might not fulfill his promise at that time, and he might even hand over some money to Beijing in exchange for the emperor to remain silent.
If the emperor doesn't care, it is natural that he will not have an investment.
Li Sancai had a plan and ordered people to find a slave of the Cheng family who was beaten by Cheng Shouxun, and asked the slave to go to Li Sancai's Governor's Office to leave, and exposed Cheng Shouxun sewed the dragon and phoenix robes and made a phoenix crown chariot, and had the intention of rebellion!
Of course these are fake. Cheng Shouxun is just greedy for money, so he would not have the intention to rebel.
But truth or false does not matter.
Chen Zeng was frightened, and the nature of greed for money and rebellion was a world of difference.
He also knew that this was impossible, but Li Sancai wanted to make a big fuss about this matter, but he suffered some.
At this time, Li San seized the opportunity and wrote a letter to Chen Zeng. In the letter, he said that he would submit a memorial and recommend Chen Zeng as the eunuch of the Sili Bingbi.
Chen Zeng knew that this was Li Sancai's trick, and with his qualifications, it was not his turn to go to Beijing to write. Li Sancai's move was clearly to lure him into a trap and force him to get money.
So what if he was unwilling to give up, he had to pinch his nose and donate 200,000 taels to Li Sancai. Unexpectedly, Li Sancai sent someone over and said that he would borrow 100,000 to renovate the canal.
All of this is openly asked for, Chen Zeng will not give it to him.
Four hundred thousand taels were finally in exchange for peace between the two sides.
No dragon and phoenix robe or clothing exists anymore.
Those who exposed the matter no longer existed.
Regarding the details of this matter, Li Sancai was embarrassed to say to Zou Yuanbiao, "I'm so huh, and I'm going to make a rough point."
"If I can know this, others can know it. Daofu, this matter can be big or small, think twice about it yourself." Zou Yuanbiao reminded.
There is no airtight wall in the world. Li Sancai didn't think about how this extremely secret thing was heard in Zou Yuanbiao's ears.
Chen Zeng himself could not do it because he also swallowed Cheng Shouxun a lot of money.
If you want to say that the most suspicious one is probably the butcher himself.
However, as Zou Yuanbiao reminded, this matter can still be held up now. The five parties don’t know, but one day they will know. At that time, the palace may be angry even if it is not angry.
"I will write another letter tomorrow. If Your Majesty still stays, he will just leave." Li Sancai was extremely unwilling to accept it, but he couldn't tolerate him not leaving. Once he left, the matter could be over.
Zou Yuanbiao nodded slightly: "What are Daofu's plans in the future?"
"The world is not as good as the people's hearts, and some people have no etiquette and shame. I have already thought about it. I will teach you the same way when I was studying. Change the trend, correct the origin, and give you a few more true scholars and officials in the court." Li Sancai did not have the idea of giving lectures on the spot, but when the incident in the imperial tomb wood was in danger before, he had this idea.
"There are two ways to save the world. One is to correct the upper and fight against the court. The other is to correct the lower and let the lower-level scholars cultivate a spirit of sages, be honest and concerned about national affairs, and become officials in the court in the future, and you can also refute the mistakes of the king. It is difficult to learn from the upper and lower levels, so you can use lectures to correct them. I chose this path at the beginning. Now that Dao has just gone again, I will continue to learn from Donglin and continue to study and will surely prosper."
Zou Yuanbiao left Zhangjiawan with satisfaction. The next day, Li Sancai wrote a letter to resign from his post again.
Wanli is still staying.
Li Sancai wrote a letter again, and this time, the imperial edict was issued.
Li Sancai was deposed as a civilian.
Such a major event must have shocked the government and the public in the past and discussed it.
This time, it was silent.
"Mr. Li Da Gong became Mr. Li, and the tutoring made great contributions. When you go to Beizhen, you will have a bright future! Our family didn't bring any gifts. We are very careful and we can only be regarded as Mr. He."
In the Jinyiwei and Nanzhen Fushi Office, Eunuch Wei sincerely congratulated Tian Ergeng on being transferred to the commander-in-chief of Beizhen, and handed over a silver note of 5,000 taels.
"No reward is received without merit."
Tian Ergeng returned the silver notes.
A certificate is returned with this bill.
The nuclear order is a scrapped and refill list reported by the Military Equipment House of Nanzhen. Tian Ergeng exercised the last power of the Nanzhen Fu Envoy - a word "quasi-" on this nuclear order.
