In the Tongzhengsi Office, the right Tongzheng Gu Kexue held his pen and sat at the desk, sometimes frowned and pondered, and sometimes wrote a few strokes. In that way, the more serious you should be, the more serious you should be.

People who don’t know think he is dealing with important official documents, but in fact, it’s not at all.

What he placed was a piece of manuscript paper in front of him, and it was not a business matter, but a green poem.

Jiajing loves Qing Ci, and everyone in the court knows this, because he often has to build a temple when he practices the way of immortality, and this Qing Ci is an indispensable and important object in the temple.

It was precisely because Yan Song often presented Qing poems that he was favored by Jiajing that Gu Kexue was quite clear about this.

Therefore, he spent all his energy on writing Qing Ci, hoping to compete with Yan Song to gain more favor from Jiajing.

Unfortunately, Yan Song invited a bunch of Mubins to study Qingci, but he was just a person and a head. Therefore, the number of Qingci he contributed was very small, which was far from comparable to Yan Song.

If he hadn't had his research on elixirs that prolong life, Yan Song would have squeezed him out of Jiajing.

This Qing Ci is really difficult to write. Writing a Qing Ci is even more difficult than writing an eight-part essay.

He was sighing there, and a trusted clerk suddenly walked in quickly with a stack of memorials.

Something big must have happened, otherwise the little official would not have run in without notice.

Seeing the anxious look of the slight official, he couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand and curiously said, "What's wrong, you're so reckless."

The trusted clerk raised the memorial in his hand and said anxiously: "Sir, it's not good. Someone impeached Lord Yang. These are the memorials I received today."

Damn, there are only a bunch of impeachment memorials in a day, it seems that the opponent must have made some big moves.

He took the memorial and looked carefully, and his brows were frowned into the shape of Sichuan.

The officials in Guangxi actually turned against each other and impeached Yang Cong for embezzling their dirty silver!

Are these guys sick? They have escaped from prison. In turn, they say that they are greedy for more than the ones they report. It was Yang Cong who used their family's lives to threaten them to underreport!

This is a typical way to harm others and not benefit oneself!

Obviously, they were not sick. It was probably because someone threatened them to bite Yang Cong in turn, and this person was very likely Yan Song.

To be honest, he couldn't understand this matter.

It is obvious that the prefects and prefects in Guangxi are more than a few hundred taels or thousands of taels. Anyone who has been in the officialdom knows this.

You either don’t greedy. If you want to greed, you will let go of greed. How can greed damage your official reputation by just a little bit?

The so-called "Ten years of Qing magistrates, 100,000 snowflakes and silver" is the case that the officials are so greedy. If they become greedy, they will not look down on a few hundred taels or thousands of taels of magistrates, let alone the magistrates and prefects.

He originally thought that Yuan Yingshu and Yan Song had done the work, but it was Yang Cong who made it!

He did not doubt this, because these people could not fabricate it out of thin air and insisted that Yang Cong swallowed their dirty silver. As for whether Yang Cong threatened them, it was hard to say whether they were threatening them. After all, the less dirty silver reported, which would be beneficial to them to escape from the crime, right? Is there any need to be a coercion?

What he couldn't understand even more was why Yang Cong did this.

Is it worth it for these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?

He still has a certain understanding of the assets of the Yang family, because the business that the Gu family alone can earn millions of taels a year, and they can share millions of taels a year. The Yang family must have more. Nanzhili can make so much money a year. In addition, Zhejiang and Fujian, the Yang family has to make at least five or six million taels a year. Is these hundreds of thousands of taels worth Yang Cong’s action?

He didn't know that these people still dared not report the real number, because it would be too exaggerated to report it. I guess even with Yan Song's advice, the emperor would not let them go.

They just bit the bullet and admitted tens of thousands of taels by themselves. Moreover, Yan Song did not ask Yuan Yingshu to submit a memorial at all, so the total amount seemed to be only a few hundred thousand taels.

In fact, the total amount of their corruption is more than two million taels!

Moreover, the reason why Yang Cong embezzled this dirty silver was not to put it into his pocket. He was to disgust Jiajing, and also to prepare wages for the people of Guangxi to open up the land.

Anyway, these dirty silver are the people's fat and ointment that these corrupt officials have plundered from the people of Guangxi. What's wrong with using it on the people of Guangxi?

However, this kind of thing has a relatively high risk, so Yang Cong naturally would not tell people everywhere, so even Gu Kexue didn't know the whole story of this matter.

It is precisely because he doesn’t know the whole story that Gu Kexue is a little confused. What should he do if so many people impeach Yang Cong?

He dared not deduct this memorial because he knew Yan Song's methods. If he discounted this memorial, it would probably be counterproductive.

The same was true when Zhao Wenhua was in this position. Even though he knew that it was not good for Yan Song, Zhao Wenhua dared not deduct it because the memorials received below not only passed by their Tongzhengsi yamen, but also had detailed records in good places. Moreover, there will be relevant records of how each memorial was handled in the end. Therefore, no matter who it is, it is difficult to discount the memorial without being discovered.

He hesitated for a long time with the memorial, but said depressedly: "Forget it, let's hand it over according to the rules. You can make arrangements. I have a document that I have to pass to Guangxi in an urgent manner for 800 miles."

After saying that, he pulled out a piece of letter paper and quickly wrote it.

Hearing this, the minor official hurriedly ran out with the memorial.

After a while, he came back empty-handed.

Seeing that he was coming, Gu Kexue hurriedly put the written letter into a special official document bag, and then put a few official documents in it. Then he handed the official document bag to him and said solemnly: "Are you arranged for 800 miles to send it to Guangxi in a hurry."

There is only so much he can do. Yan Song was unable to stop him if he wanted to initiate the impeachment of Yang Cong. He could only notify Yang Cong as soon as possible so that Yang Cong could be prepared.

At this time, the memorial had already been passed to the cabinet's duty room. Xia Yan was shocked when he saw these memorials. Yang Cong actually embezzled the dirty silver. Is it possible?

He really couldn't believe that Yang Cong would take risks for these hundreds of thousands of taels of dirty silver. What a joke? The Yang family could make millions of taels in a year by using salt alone. Isn't it a brain disease to take this risk for hundreds of thousands of taels?

Question, these Guangxi officials cannot be so full that they falsely accused Yang Cong of such a thing. What's going on?

He looked left and right with the memorial and couldn't understand it, so he could only order Yan Song to come and ask questions.

After Yan Song came, he raised the memorial in his hand and said with a complicated expression: "Youzhong, do you know that the corrupt officials in Guangxi who were dealt with by Yang Cong are impeaching Yang Cong for embezzling their dirty silver."

Of course Yan Song knew that this matter was arranged by him.

However, he still pretended to know nothing and said in surprise: "Oh, really?"

After saying that, he took the memorial from Xia Yan and looked carefully.

As soon as he finished reading it, Xia Yan couldn't wait to ask, "Do you think this is true?"

You idiot, do you still need to ask? It must be true!

Yan Song secretly complained, but on the surface he still pretended to be respectful and bowed carefully: "Sir, this matter is of great importance, and the subordinates dare not make a conclusion. If you insist on the subordinates saying it, the subordinates will still say the same thing. The pure one will be clear, and the turbid one will be turbid."

The clear one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid!
