Linzhi Gongzi [Red Mansion]

The two princes came here one after the other, and they were usually extremely difficult to deal with. No matter how you look at it, it seems that they came to tit for tat on purpose.Emperor Yongjia looked at his two sons and raised the corners of his mouth.

"You made an appointment?"

The prince looked at Liang Yu with a bad heart.He had some plans, if he talked with Emperor Yongjia privately, maybe he could achieve one or two.But now doesn't seem like the right time.

So he smiled and said: "It's not something urgent, you might as well talk about it first."

Yan Zheng wanted to pay attention, but he couldn't find a reason. Just as he was troubled, he heard Liang Yu say, "It just so happens that Master Yan is here. This matter is related to the fraud case, please stay."

The words were addressed to Yan Zheng, but they were actually asking Emperor Yongjia for instructions.

"So, Yan Qing will stay and listen," Emperor Yongjia waved his hand, indicating that Liang Yu could speak.

When the prince heard that it was related to the fraud case, he felt a little bad.He suppressed his expression and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.

Liang Yudao: "In the case of Gao Li, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, because the principal culprit was unable to repay the high-interest loan, he mortgaged the official documents and official seals of Jiaxing Mansion. Such bold and reckless actions are shocking. So I went to investigate for five years. I have found several strange things about the real transfer of local officials since then. I also ask my father to take a closer look."

As he spoke, he took out a thick memorial from his bosom and presented it.

"Strange?" Emperor Yongjia frowned, and took the memorial from Zhang Baoshou.When it was opened, it was a directory of about 20 people, followed by a detailed list of their official positions, years of work, and regions.

He looked at the first few, and his brows became more wrinkled, but this time he was not puzzled but impatient, "There's nothing strange about it."

Liang Yu didn't rush, just said: "Father, please also carefully look at the years when these people were officials, where they were born and where they worked."

Having said this, Emperor Yongjia took a closer look at the paper and finally realized something was wrong.

The prince was looking around, wanting to know what was written on it.Emperor Yongjia held the memorial and looked at Liang Yu suspiciously, "How did you find out about this?"

His Royal Highness Zhao Wang replied: "The banks didn't ask for anything else when they asked for the mortgage. Instead, they asked for documents and official seals. If they are not beneficial, these two things are really useless."

Yan Zheng reacted alertly, and interjected: "Your Highness, what do you mean these people are selling nobles and officials in the black market?"

Liang Yu nodded, and continued: "Because Gao Li was going to take office in Jiaxing Prefecture, so I focused on searching for the dispatch of local officials in Jiangnan. Half of the 20 people were from Yangzhou. Some were appointed as prefects, or dispatched to Beijing. Some people resigned after only one or two years. But there is no detailed evaluation of these people in the official department. I really don’t know why they can be promoted so quickly of."

It is not uncommon in this court to spend money to buy officials, but it must be decided by the court.It took a few years to release a batch of quotas, attracting merchants who have money but no place to spend to buy an official back.However, these are all methods used when the treasury is empty, and the official positions sold are not very important.Among the many ranks six and seven, none surpassed rank five.

In the previous dynasty, after the first emperor expressly abolished that merchants were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination.All official transactions involving real power basically disappeared.The so-called donating officials are mostly false titles, just to make it sound nice.

But because the imperial court did not have a clear regulation on the sale and purchase of official positions.No penalty was given.All the legal codes are still used when the dynasty was first established, and have not been revised for many years.So the imperial court turned a blind eye to this and didn't care much about it.

But now selling noble officials and loan sharks are mixed together, it would be too unreasonable to let it go easily.Emperor Yongjia finished reading the list Liang Yu presented with a dark face, and sat on the throne without saying a word.After a long time, he said: "This matter is no small matter, Gao Li's case cannot just be closed like this."

He said to Yan Zheng: "You continue to investigate. Apart from those underground silver villages and this secret line of selling officials, let me find out one by one!"

Yan Zheng was overjoyed, knelt down and thanked him three times.He raised his head and glanced at Liang Yu gratefully, then retreated.

At this time, there were only three royal fathers and sons left in the palace.The prince looked at his younger brother who had made great contributions with a sullen face, and thought that it was really a fucking inopportune time for him to come.

"Ye'er, what do you want to say?" Emperor Yongjia looked at the prince.

Liang Ye hurriedly swallowed back what he wanted to say, and said with a smile: "There was nothing. It was just to greet the emperor and ask how to deal with Gao Li's case. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing behind it. Also Only a person as capable as the third brother can draw inferences from one instance and think of these things."

He did come to inquire about the outcome of the Gao Li case.It was because Liang Ye's cousin, Princess Tan Ping, and her family begged the prince.Their family was also involved in the case.Princess Tan Ping and the county horse borrowed money by themselves, but luckily repaid it later, and started lending usury.If he is found out this time, he doesn't know what kind of punishment he will suffer.

Because Liang Yu was responsible for this incident, the prince feels bad when he thinks about it.Self-consciousness has nothing to do with me, and I don’t care about it at all, so I don’t know what the situation is.But I couldn't bear the crying and begging of my cousin's family, and promised a lot of benefits, so I thought it would be okay to make a trip for them.

After all, the princess' family is his staunch supporter on weekdays.

When people from the East Palace went to Dali Temple to inquire about the situation, they got the news that Yan Zheng had come to the palace with the final result.He cursed a few words inwardly, then hurriedly followed.He just wanted to say a few words by himself when Emperor Yongjia was about to give up.

How can I think that once I came here, I once again witnessed how His Royal Highness Zhao made meritorious deeds, it was really unlucky and unlucky.

"You have a heart." Emperor Yongjia nodded, looking at the calm and composed third son, he felt a little bit disheartened, "It's really chilling to think that there are so many beetles and moths under my rule."

The prince hurriedly said: "Father is wise and diligent. It is because of my father that we can have good weather and people live and work in peace and contentment. What do those moths have to do with father? It's just that they are ungrateful and have bad intentions."

"You don't need to say more." Emperor Yongjia sighed.

This flattery did not make today happy, but felt a little boring.In fact, he is very clear that the appearance of many faults is the result of his laissez-faire.It's just that Emperor Yongjia felt that he was getting old and didn't need to live and sleep like he did when he was young.

These things should have been...should have been handed over to others.

Emperor Yongjia suddenly raised his head and saw the two sons below who were in their prime years.In the past, he would definitely think of leaving it to Liang Ye without hesitation.But now Emperor Yongjia hesitated——

Should it really be handed over to Ye'er?

He asked himself so, full of doubts and confusion.

After being silent for a while, Emperor Yongjia said: "I'm really tired after listening to what I said all morning. Ye'er, you can go for a walk with Father."

The crown prince beamed with joy, and gave Liang Yu a provocative look.However, King Zhao still ignored his provocation.

Emperor Yongjia saw all these, his expression changed, and he said tenderly to Liang Yu: "You have been coming and going in a hurry these days, I'm afraid you haven't seen your mother well. Go, go to Qingning Palace to accompany you Accompany her and leave after dinner."

Liang Yu answered yes, saluted Emperor Yongjia and the crown prince respectively, said he would retire and walked out.

He walked out, and Liang Ye finally showed a happy smile, and asked Father, "Where does Father want to go? Now the spring is just right, and the flowers on Penglai Mountain are also in bloom. I will take a look with you, my son?"

Emperor Yongjia looked at him and thought that the child was sincerely filial anyway, so he nodded and the prince helped him up.

·

Now is not the time for the prince to enter the palace to greet him.So the queen and concubine Xian in Qingning Palace were quite surprised.Concubine Wang Xian wiped her hand holding the melon seeds with a handkerchief, covered her lips and smiled, "Your Highness is still filial, not like my boy, alas, I don't have a mother like me in my heart."

The queen empress is really a wonderful person.If it was someone else, he would have to belittle his own son and praise others.But she is not like this, because in her eyes, the two sons are indeed unmatched by others.

So he just smiled and said, "How can you say that about your son?"

Concubine Xian just smiled: "Then I'll leave now, and I won't disturb your mother and son's conversation."

Empress Chi nodded, then turned around and asked Zhu Sha to send her off.Concubine Xian hurriedly stopped, "Don't dare to work on Miss Zhusha."

Then he smiled again, and said to Jia Yuanchun next to him, "Please trouble Lady Jia to take me to the gate of the palace."

Jia Yuanchun walked out with his head down, implying a sense of shyness and timidity.

"That's fine," the queen bent her lips when she saw it, and beckoned Zhu Sha behind her to come forward, "The day before yesterday, I sent two newly made celadon small incense burners with hand holding hands, and two incense burners wrapped in fragrant brocade for Lady Jia. Tell her to take it to the Pearl Mirror Hall together."

Concubine Xian bowed and thanked her, "Then I won't be polite, thank you, Madam, for the reward."

The queen smiled: "Yuanchun, you are so lucky to send off the concubine Xian."

Jia Yuanchun softly answered yes, took the things from Zhu Sha, and followed Concubine Xian out.

Zhu Sha watched them go away, turned back and said: "I come here every day, and always have to joke with Jia Dianzan... Does the Xianfei Empress really like her as a daughter-in-law?"

The queen stroked her temples, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid she didn't think so. It's just that the princess concubine has a crush on Jia Yuanchun, and she wants to fight for her son. Just looking at it these days, I'm afraid it's serious."

Zhu Sha nodded, thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that slaves are troublesome. But if you mention the marriage of the prince, you must mention the two Highnesses. His Highness Prince Gong is fine, His Highness Zhao Wang... ..."

Liang Yu has not married a main concubine until now, and there is no side concubine, concubine or concubine.There is no spring in the huge Prince Zhao's Mansion.Just don't mention it now.If Concubine Xian intends to marry Jia Yuanchun to the sixth prince, or if Concubine Crown Princess intends to be her sister.Then King Zhao's marriage will definitely be brought up again.

This time, I do not know how to hide.

Zhu Sha hesitated, and reminded her mistress, "Then the general election will be coming soon."

The Empress sighed when she heard the words: "Why don't I know. However, soldiers can only come to cover up the water and cover it with earth. Who told this idiot to prefer a person whose fate belongs to water. I don't know if he can defend it. "
