Chapter 101 Suspension, pending investigation

The next day, Jinluan Hall.

All the officials stood neatly in the court hall one by one. When the emperor sat down on the dragon chair, they all saluted together.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Xuanyuan Che glanced at him and said softly, "Everyone is at peace."

Baiguan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

When discussing matters in the court, all the ministers would take part in the performance if they had something to do, and they would stand in the queue if nothing happened, just waiting for the emperor's words.

Not long after, Zheng Yi, the imperial censor, came forward and knelt down, "I would like to inform your Majesty that I have my own merits."

The Yushitai has the power to supervise hundreds of officials, and Zheng Yi was asked to stand up and submit the memorial. It can be seen that the content of the memorial must be quite involved. The courtiers who can stand in the Jinluan Palace are all of high status. The memorial Before the content of this book is announced, no one knows who will suffer, but this matter is by no means simple.

After all, last time it was Yang Shen, the former Minister of Rites, and the entire Yang family. This time...

Xuanyuan Che looked down at the people below. He already knew about the people involved in the report, but he only asked as usual: "Oh, I wonder what Zheng Qing asked about?"

While he was talking, Li Mo who was nearby had already walked over, took away the memorial from Zheng Yi's hand, brought it up and presented it to the emperor.

Zheng Yi said righteously: "Your Majesty, the Yushitai has received a lot of news recently. Su Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, used his power for personal gain, took advantage of his official position, embezzled taxes, and took them for his own use. The amount was huge. Even the humble ministers reported it. It’s just the surface, more needs to be investigated in depth.”

When Su Yu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Accounts, heard this, he immediately stood up and said, "Master Zheng must be responsible for what he said. I am in charge of the Ministry of Accounts, and all the accounts are traceable, and every transaction is clear. , Why do you want to talk about it?"

When Wang Sheng saw this, he also frowned. How could he not know that Zheng Yi did this because of the damage to Concubine Lan? He had noticed the movement of Yushitai yesterday, but he did not expect that Zheng Yi actually Pointing directly at the Ministry of Household Affairs, he still stabbed Su Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, with his 'knife'.

However, where did Zheng Yi get the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue? If Zheng Yi dared to go to court to participate in the performance, he must have something valuable. Otherwise, even if he wanted to vent his anger on Concubine Lan and find displeasure with him, It's impossible to be so rash.

Su Yu knelt down in the palace and said to the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair: "Your Majesty, the humble minister is in charge of the household department and deals with money every day. He understands the rules best. How dare you mess around? Your Majesty, please don't listen to Master Zheng's words. "

Then, Su Yu said sternly to Zheng Yi: "Master Zheng, as the imperial censor, is in charge of the entire censorship station. Although the censorship station has the responsibility of supervising and impeaching hundreds of officials, Mr. Zheng cannot be trusted to talk nonsense and make random moves. Bite it.”

Zheng Yi didn't care about Su Yu's rebuttal. He snorted coldly and said: "The emperor is still reading the memorial. Whether it is a biting or not, the emperor will make his own decision. What's more, before the morning court today, the Yushitai has sent someone to go there. The Ministry of Accounts, review the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts. You can just wait and see what the final result will be. There is no need to speak so loudly in the court."

"You..." Su Yu: "How dare you act so recklessly at Yushitai? The Ministry of Household Affairs is an important place, how can you allow people to act wantonly..."

"Wantful?" Zheng Yi didn't give Su Yu any face at all, and said bluntly: "The Yushitai has the power to supervise hundreds of officials. As long as there is evidence, it can be investigated first and then reported. Besides, at this moment, it is reported to the emperor. This matter."

Wang Sheng didn't expect Zheng Yi to act so quickly. He didn't expect Zheng Yi to come here. He really wanted to break his face completely. "Master Zheng, do you know that the Ministry of Households is not an easy place. Your Yushitai has such He has authority, but if the Ministry of Revenue is not at fault, does Mr. Zheng know how much responsibility he will bear for dereliction of duty this time?"

Zheng Yi sneered and said: "I won't bother Prime Minister Wang to think about it for me. What I do is to be loyal to my position. Besides, how can I not know the importance of the Ministry of Household Affairs? There are people in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The accounts can be checked, don’t I have some other accounts in my hand that can be traced back? This household department is under the Prime Minister Wang, so the Prime Minister Wang can pray, and when the time comes to find out the vacant accounts, it has nothing to do with the Prime Minister."

Wang Sheng frowned, "According to this, Mr. Zheng still wants to check the accounts of my Prime Minister's Mansion."

Zheng Yi said: "What Wang Xiang said is that I am investigating the Ministry of Household Affairs. As long as Wang Xiang is not involved, naturally I will not be able to investigate the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Su Yu's heart froze. He knew that it was certain that Zheng Yi would investigate him. He thought about it and said to the emperor on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty, the accounts of the household department are complicated. Since the Yushitai wants to investigate thoroughly, the ministers must be If you want to cooperate, why don’t you let me go back to the household department and assist my colleagues at Yushitai in their investigation."

Xuanyuan Che closed the memorial in his hand, "What Zheng Qing said in this memorial is no small matter. Su Qing is so calm. It seems that she is not worried at all about what Zheng Qing has written."

Su Yu calmed down and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is in charge of the affairs of the household department, and everything big and small is handled according to the rules. Wei Chen doesn't know where Mr. Zheng heard the news, saying that Wei Chen was at fault. Since Mr. Zheng wants to Check, that Wei Chen will definitely cooperate."

Xuanyuan Che said: "Su Qing is upright and aboveboard. Zheng Qing personally filed an impeachment report on this matter. Why don't we come and hear what Zheng Qing thinks."

Zheng Yi said seriously: "Your Majesty, if this matter is watched over by the ministers, there will be no problem, and there is no need for anyone to cooperate. Just let the ministers review everything in the household department. According to this situation, Su Yu, as a householder, The Minister of the Ministry should avoid suspicion. If he is involved, no matter whether there is something wrong or not, he will be criticized. It is better to be a bystander. As the saying goes, those who are pure will self-clean. Your Majesty, are you reasonable in what you said about the humble minister?"

At that moment, Cheng Jiangsi, the imperial censor who was standing behind Zheng Yi, stood up and echoed Zheng Yi's words: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zheng said is true. Mr. Su is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was in the whirlpool of this matter that Su At times like this, sir, you should avoid suspicion and put aside all matters in the household department for the time being."

Xuanyuan Che said: "According to your intention, Su Qing should be suspended pending investigation."

Zheng Yi said: "Your Majesty, this is also a reasonable arrangement."

Su Yu understood that Zheng Yi wanted to kick him out first, "Your Majesty..."

Xuanyuan Che said: "Zheng Qing said it was a reasonable arrangement, so let Zheng Qing handle it with full authority."

Zheng Yi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will definitely do my best."

There was a threat in Wang Sheng's words, and he said: "Master Zheng said this. This matter comes unexpectedly. The Yushitai handles affairs vigorously and resolutely. If there is no problem in the household department..."

Zheng Yi: "If there is any problem in the Ministry of Household Affairs, I will know after checking. As for what the Prime Minister wants to say, I know in my heart what the outcome will be. Everything is subject to the emperor's decree. Why should the Prime Minister be in a hurry?"
