Chapter 114 Punishment in accordance with the law

Prime Minister's Mansion, in the study.

Wang Sheng, who was sitting in front of the desk, suddenly stood up. As for the candlestick on the desk, the candlelight also started to sway.

"What are you talking about? Feng Ying personally took the Imperial Army to the Ministry of Finance!"

Wang Cong said to his father: "Father, it is indeed like this. If Feng Ying takes action, and it is in the capital, no one can get any benefits. The people we sent are no longer useful."

Wang Sheng sat down, closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and then asked: "What's the situation with the Su family now?"

Wang Cong said: "Since the emperor issued an order to give the Yushitai full authority to review the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Su Shangshu was invited to the Yushitai, and the Su family also has specialized supervisors. From today's arrangements, It seems that the Forbidden Army has not only deployed defenses on the household department, but it is probably not only the people from the Yushitai who are monitoring the Su family."

Wang Sheng said solemnly: "Looking at this, the emperor has been leaning towards the Yushitai from the beginning, and he must let the Yushitai investigate the household department thoroughly."

Wang Cong followed and said: "Father, according to my investigation, in the past few days, in addition to conducting an inventory of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zheng Yi is also polishing the candidates for the new Minister of Household Affairs. Father, this time The Yushitai has taken advantage of the opportunity, but tonight’s matter cannot be accomplished. I’m afraid that later…”

Wang Sheng raised his hand to stop Wang Cong from what he was saying and said directly: "The Yushitai has already taken advantage of this matter. It is impossible for Zheng Yi to let such a good opportunity go without reaching out to the Ministry of Household Affairs. There is no way at the moment." The only way is to wait until tomorrow morning to make plans."

Wang Cong: "Father, where is the Su family?"

Wang Sheng: "Just do your best."

How could Wang Cong not know what his father meant? Looking at this situation, the Su family would inevitably be abandoned.

……

The palace is quiet at night.

The Imperial Study Room, in the inner hall.

Qin Shu was hugged by Xuanyuan Che and sat on his lap. She looked at Xuanyuan Che and said: "The movement in the household has been cleared up. There is Feng Ying guarding over there. It is impossible for any movement to come out tomorrow morning." , The household affairs are not trivial. Why don’t you, husband, take a rest earlier and recuperate your energy in order to prepare for the morning court tomorrow?"

Xuanyuan Che rubbed the cheek of the person in his arms affectionately, and said with a smile: "Since we asked Yushitai to start this matter, the result has been determined. Everything is expected, so why bother to worry about it."

After listening to Xuanyuan Che's words, Qin Shu did not deny it, but instead said: "Oh, so your husband just kept me here. Do you not intend to let me return to Yuehua Palace?"

Xuanyuan Che's hand around the waist of the person in his arms tightened, and he said with a smile: "I want to keep Shu'er, it has nothing to do with anything else, just because I simply want Shu'er to stay by my side."

When Qin Shu met Xuanyuan Che's serious eyes, she was too lazy to argue with Xuanyuan Che. Anyway, he always had many reasons to give her.

Seeing that Qin Shu was silent, Xuanyuan Che stood up, hugged Qin Shu and went inside, "Sleep now."

Qin Shu: "Okay."

The next day, early in the morning.

Xuanyuan Che got up and saw the sleeping person on the bed. As usual, he couldn't bear to wake the person up. He just got up and ordered people to come in. After dressing up, he went directly to the morning court.

In the Jinluan Palace.

The ministers paid homage to the emperor and then discussed matters in the court.

The most important thing today is that the Yushitai conducted a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which has achieved definite results.

Zheng Yi submitted all the evidence that Xu Jing and Jiang Si had collected and verified during their examination at the Ministry of Household Affairs to the emperor for his review.

Li Mo took the zhezi from Zheng Yi's hand and presented it to the emperor.

Xuanyuan Che read through the memorial in his hand and said coldly: "Show it to the Prime Minister."

Li Mo immediately did as he was told, took the memorial and sent it to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng took over. As for the results reported in this memorial, even if he couldn't bear it, he knew what it was, but he still flipped through it.

Xuanyuan Che looked down at Wang Sheng below and said in a deep voice: "The Prime Minister has seen it, what do you think?"

Wang Sheng closed the memorial in his hand, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, it was the ministers who neglected their duties and failed to manage the household department well, which led to this flaw in the household department."

Xuanyuan Che said: "So, Prime Minister Wang does not intend to defend Su Yu anymore."

Wang Sheng: "The Yushitai was ordered by the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of the household department. It must be fair and impartial. Since the evidence is conclusive, there is nothing that the minister can refute."

Hearing these words, Zheng Yi blurted out with some deliberate words, "The Prime Minister really dealt with it impartially. Even the people under his own sect were treated without mercy."

Wang Sheng turned to look at Zheng Yi and said seriously: "What Mr. Zheng said, if one day Mr. Zheng, the officials under your Yushitai make mistakes, and Mr. Zheng is in charge of the Yushitai, is it possible that he will also show favoritism? ?”

Zheng Yi said: "With an example like Wang Xiang in front of me, how could I do such a thing? What's more, as a minister, he should seek his own affairs in his position and should serve the emperor conscientiously. How could he use his power for personal gain or take advantage of his position? , to seek personal gain for oneself, Yushitai is responsible for supervising hundreds of officials, and he does not dare to commit crimes knowingly."

Xuanyuan Che said: "Zheng Qing, where are the people from Su Yu?"

Zheng Yi: "To report to the Emperor, I am still at the Yushitai. If the Emperor has any orders, I can send someone to bring them immediately."

Xuanyuan Che: "No need, the matter has been decided and we should deal with it according to the law."

Zheng Yi bowed and said: "As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Su Yu embezzled a huge amount of money. He even tampered with the tax and bank accounts. He was dismissed from his position as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and imprisoned in a prison. The Su family's property All will be confiscated and collected into the state treasury. Everyone in the Su family will also be examined. Those close to and involved in the incident will all be exiled to Lingnan, and the rest will all be reduced to official slaves."

Xuanyuan Che looked at Wang Sheng, "What does Mr. Wang think of the punishment given by the Yushitai in accordance with the regulations?"

Wang Sheng said: "It's all done in accordance with the law. How can I have any objections?"

Xuanyuan Che then said to Zheng Yi: "In that case, I will also hand over the follow-up matters to Yushitai."

Zheng Yi: "Yes, I will definitely do my job well and never let down the emperor's expectations."

Xuanyuan Che: "Well, the Yushitai has done a good job this time. The end of the year is approaching, and I will definitely reward the Yushitai at the end of the year."

Zheng Yi: "These are all things that ministers and officials should do well. Your Majesty, as for the Ministry of Household Affairs, the moths have been dealt with, but the Ministry of Household Affairs still needs to be rectified. As the Emperor said, at the end of the year, The end of the year is approaching, and it is the busiest time for all departments, and the household department is no exception. We must select suitable candidates as soon as possible and rectify the affairs of the household department as soon as possible."

Xuanyuan Che said with a smile: "What Zheng Qing said is that it is urgent to rectify the household department. If you have suitable candidates, you can recommend them to me."

Ministers: "Yes."

Not long after, the voice of "retreating from the court" dispersed.

Afterwards, all the officials sent the emperor off respectfully and dispersed in the hall.

With this result in the household affairs, some people will be happy and some will be sad.

Zheng Yi glanced at Wang Sheng and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Wang, regarding the results of the emperor's treatment of Su Yu and the Su family, why not let Prime Minister Wang convey it in person?"

Wang Sheng snorted coldly: "The Emperor has left this matter to Master Zheng, and I will not interfere. I still have something to do, so I won't say more to Master Zheng."

Zheng Yi looked at Wang Sheng's walking back, sneered coldly, and thought to himself: I just lost a minister of household affairs. My daughter has suffered so much, and this loss is far from enough!
