Chapter 189 Murong Yi Makes a Move Part 2
They all said that the prince had a bad mind, but now it seems that may not be the case. Everyone sighed inwardly, there are a few people from the royal family who have simple minds, and none of them are as narrow-minded as a honeycomb.
But now it's too late to regret, they can't get off the big ship of the prince now.
"Qin Zheng'an's matter was immediately handed over to the Ministry of Punishments to conduct a house raid and investigate."
The emperor glanced at the silent ministers below and said coldly, looking at them like that, he was afraid that everyone's troubles were not trivial.
"I obey the order." The Minister of Punishment made an exception and accepted the order.
"If you have something to do, go to court, if nothing happens, leave the court." Immediately the eunuch sang, and after singing, the emperor drove out of the court, leaving all the ministers in the court sighing.
"snort!"
As soon as the emperor withdrew from the court, the prince snorted coldly at Murong Yi, turned around and left the court.
Murong Yi looked at the leaving prince with cold eyes, and left the court with a cold snort, asking him to watch another big show tomorrow.
Sure enough, another piece of information was presented to the court the next day. This time it was a fourth-rank official from the Ministry of History. This official did not have a high official position, but he was very annoying. It was the last thing to see someone say something bad about the prince.
Every time someone came out to consult the prince's book, the official would jump out to object, as if he was consulting his own father. He criticized the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles, which made others doubt their lives. Many ministers fell under his words, and there was nothing they could do against him.
This time it happened that his wife didn't know which tendon was connected to the wrong thread, and she got into a dispute with someone in a jewelry store while buying jewelry. His wife spent ten thousand taels of silver to buy the set of jewelry.
I would like to ask how rich the family must be if the wife of a fourth-grade official in the civil service department spends ten thousand taels of silver casually.
Sure enough, the next day, the many scheming things done by this official, as well as the corruption and perversion of the law, formed a record and were placed before the emperor's Long Case.
The prince gritted his teeth and stared at Murong Yi fiercely, thinking that this was his handiwork again.
Last night, he and his people gathered together in secret. They wanted to come up with a perfect plan to deal with Murong Yi, but they didn't expect him to act so quickly.
The prince really couldn't imagine how Murong Yi found out all this?
His people did not leave any traces when doing things, and they were very cautious. Even his father's secret guards could not detect him. Could it be that Murong Yi had planted a spy among his people?
In fact, he still thought highly of Murong Yi, and it was almost impossible to arrange the details in front of the prince.
Murong Yi came from modern times, and with his experience and Mingming Pavilion, the prince's methods were not difficult in his eyes.
No matter what you do, it will always leave a mark. As long as you check it carefully, you can find out the tricks, especially the tricks in the ledger. Can you hide it from others, and can you be satisfied with Murong Yi?
It's not difficult to find out if you follow the clues.
Today's incident, in fact, is not entirely Murong Yi's fault. It can only be said that it was the poor luck of the official in the Ministry of Personnel. Originally, he was not a four-year-old official. It was only his own bad luck.
Hit the muzzle of his gun.
Murong Yi happened to be seen by the person handling the matter, so he asked for all the information of this official, only to find out that it was him, so don't blame him, he directly took his list and sent it to the emperor by his people.
Murong Yi curled his lips, not caring about the prince's threat at all.
This is unbearable. This has just begun. I hope the prince will not faint in the court.
After the emperor became furious again, the official's fate was not good, and his home was confiscated.
After the house was confiscated, everyone realized that a small official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs could embezzle so much. There were more than one million taels of silver alone, and in many cases, you could see the words "Xianzhuang Bank" and "Treasury" on the back of the money.
Not to mention the precious gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, all of which are worth thousands of gold. When calculated, they are worth a fortune.
When the copied list was handed over to the emperor, his face turned black when he saw the list.
All his ministers are good, no more greedy than his sons, and even more greedy.
Each of his sons has an incredible amount of property in their name, but these four minor officials, who take his salary, actually dare to do it.
The emperor was so angry that he snorted coldly.
A small fourth-grade official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not have real power in his hands like others, but even an official is so greedy.
Then among the officials in his court, there are first-grade officials, second-grade officials and third-grade officials. If every family goes to copy like this, then his treasury will not be enough to build two more.
The emperor really didn't dare to think deeply. There were at least two to three thousand officials, large and small, in Guangjing City, and there were at least more than ten thousand officials in various prefectures and counties.
It is said that after three years of clearing the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver were earned. Thinking of the wealth of those people, the emperor's heart twitched. Those should all be his.
The emperor immediately ordered the people from the Ministry of Punishment to put all the wealth gained from ransacking their homes into the national treasury. The official's family was exiled to the most difficult place in Xifeng Kingdom, where they were forced to live a life of falling from heaven to hell.
Then he began to look forward to who he would receive after going to court tomorrow.
On the third day, the emperor got what he wanted and saw the leak in the Long Case. This time, it was a second-grade Yuan from the Ministry of War. After seeing the leak, the emperor calmly had the official's family and his relatives confiscated and exiled.
As he thought, the gold and silver treasures that this official coveted were simply countless, twice as much as that official from the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The emperor couldn't believe that this official, who was usually so quiet, could be so greedy.
On the fourth day, it turned out to be a first-grade official.
Now the emperor could no longer remain calm. Long Yan was furious in the court hall. With a wave of his hand, he refused to be exiled and had the whole family of this rank beheaded.
In this way, four high-ranking officials of the imperial court have been killed, and the other civil and military officials are trembling with fear every day, fearing that one day their own heads will be found and the heads of the entire clan will be lost.
In the past, it was easy to say that the entire clan could be exiled without being beheaded, but that was no longer the case.
So that afternoon, many officials donated their family property to the court for various reasons, filling the national treasury.
The emperor never thought that officials like him could do such a thing. It completely subverted his three views, and he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.
In the past, he was worried that the treasury was empty, but now he was worried that he had no place to put his treasure.
Moreover, in the court, all officials perform their duties every day. No one dares to slack off, and no one dares to act haphazardly. They are afraid that it will be their turn next, so they try their best to do things perfectly, and do not dare to be greedy and take what they deserve as before.
, now that it is gone, they dare not take it even if it is given to them.
The atmosphere in the capital has also improved a lot. It is rare to hear of bullying happening, or of families using it to make money.
In short, the capital city looks calm, but is actually turbulent.
