Ancient promotion routine

"My lord, you are back."

When Zhang Yanjin got home, he saw General Zhao waiting for him at the door. It seemed that Han Wei had sent something over again.

"My lord, this is an investigation by Mr. Han according to the method you said. Most of the people in the capital who bully women from good families and rob people's finances are the children of the surname Han."

General Zhao conveyed Han Wei's instructions one by one.My lord is not an inspector. These things are supposed to be taught to the Ministry of Punishment or the Department of Dali, so why would they be sent to the Ministry of Rites.

"General Zhao, the power in the DPRK and China is now uneven. If these physical evidences are in the hands of other people, I am afraid that they will not be able to reach the heavens at all."

Seeing that General Zhao was puzzled, Zhang Yanjin explained.

That's right, he is just a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he supervises these things everywhere, but it's just that the emperor trusts him so much when he sees that he has no sects.

This kind of trust is indeed working with your head up. From before to now, and in the future, I am afraid that it will be hard to find peace.

Zhang Yanjin didn't think that she wouldn't be envious if she used these aristocratic families to make amends. If there is interest, there will be a fight. Whether it is in the business field or in the court, the interests will always come first.

The emperor's illness still didn't improve, and it was more serious than before. However, the emperor did drag his sick body to the morning court today.

"I heard that the government was in chaos, and someone took the opportunity to hurt the people and imprison the property. Could it be that I died?"

Although the emperor had a sick face, the words he uttered were indeed very majestic.

"I dare not wait."

"Zhang Aiqing, I have read the excerpts you played, and today you are going to talk about who dared to bully the people outside when I was sick."

When Zhang Yanjin heard the emperor calling her name, she sighed in her heart, when did he pass the exam?

Thinking about the memorials that Han Wei asked him to hand over a few days ago, I am afraid that Han Wei and the emperor have already made up the sum.

It turned out that the emperor's condition was getting worse, and he couldn't wait for Zhang Yanjin to investigate more facts.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Yanjin had already made preparations. The emperor had been in court for many days before, and the prince was acting as an agent for government affairs. Today, Zhang Yanjin heard that the emperor was coming to court, so she had some speculations in her mind.

This Korean male must be that unlucky guy today.

Few of the ministers in the court who have a relationship with the aristocratic family do some business in the dark, such as arms, smuggling, salt, food, and other violent industries, the aristocratic family's hands are particularly long.

The investigations given by Han Wei before are naturally not enough to overthrow the aristocratic power represented by the Korean government.

Although Han Guogong was not as active as Zhou Qin in the court, he did a lot of things that made money secretly.

Zhang Yanjin secretly sent people to investigate the business dealings of the South Korean government, and found that the profit of the military cotton cloth was particularly objective, and it was beyond the normal range.

He asked Li Ying and General Zhao to work separately, and found that the Han Gong is really a person who does big things behind closed doors.

The cold winter is approaching, and there is a huge demand for cotton cloth at the border. The South Korean government is responsible for the production and transportation of military cotton clothes. Originally, this was an errand arranged by the court. Logically, there is nothing to say, but Zhang Yanjin’s investigation found that the cotton transported by the South Korean government from Jiangnan The quantity of is simply not enough to make 10,000+ cotton coats.

"Reporting to the emperor, the Korean government mixed black-hearted cotton to make winter clothes for the soldiers to keep warm. Before the minister received the news that it was cold at the border and the soldiers could not wrap their stomachs. I thought that the winter clothes had been sent to the border. It is reasonable. This should not have happened, but later someone accidentally set fire to the cotton coat, and found that the cotton coat was burning with black smoke, and I remembered the difference between the white cotton and the black heart cotton when I heard the news."

Zhang Yanjin's words were like a drum beating on Han Gong's heart.

"Han Gong, what explanation do you have?"

The emperor said sternly.

"I plead guilty." Duke Han said, kneeling on the ground.

The floods in the south of the Yangtze River, the insufficient supply of cotton, and the value of wool, these things could have been reported to the court, but the Korean male ghost was used to being obsessed, and when he was free, he used this old method to make money.

Now that he was exposed, he couldn't escape the blame, and he only hoped that the Holy One would open his eyes.

The reason why Han Guogong pleaded guilty in this way is because he knows the facts and can see the situation clearly. He only wants to bear it by himself, so as not to end up like Chen Guogong, whose family is ruined and his children and grandchildren are reduced to slavery.

"Today the titles of the Duke of Korea will be abolished, all direct descendants of the Duke of Korea will be demoted to civilians, they will not be allowed to participate in the government for three generations, the family property of the Duke of Korea will be confiscated, the Duke of Korea and his family will be demoted to serve in the Northwest, and they will not be allowed to return to Beijing without an edict. "

The emperor seemed to understand why the Korean Duke pleaded guilty so quickly, and the punishment he imposed was not severe in comparison.

"The minister obeys the order."

The Korean Duke took off his official hat and kowtowed three times on the ground.

The booklet in Zhang Yanjin's hand contains more than these crimes of Han Gonggong, the emperor must also know about it, why is it like this now.

Maybe it's because of the straightforwardness of the Korean public?Or maybe the emperor just wanted to stabilize the government for the prince, and didn't plan to massacre?

Now that the Duke of South Korea has been demoted, the most powerful family in the DPRK and China has collapsed.

The rest is Ruiguo's mansion, but this Ruiguo is openly belonged to the prince's faction, so naturally it will not be excluded. Could it be that the Hangong government knows that it can't protect itself, so it simply throws away the general to save the sergeant.

It is hard to see that Han Gong is a person who values ​​family bonds, at least he sacrificed his life to save the Han family from extermination.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

The ministers stepped forward and shouted.

The emperor seemed to hold his breath, and when Han Gonggong was dragged down, he was relieved, and he passed out.

The emperor was seriously ill and fell into a coma, and the situation that had just been eased suddenly became tense again.

The crown prince has just assumed the position, and his position is not stable. If there is any accident at this time, the court will definitely be in chaos.

When Zhang Yanjin came out from the court, he saw that the ministers were all walking home quickly, so he knew something in his heart.

Could it be that these people have all gone back to discuss state affairs.

Now that His Majesty's body has not healed, he must not go to the restaurant again, lest people will talk about it.

The emperor's illness came and went, and the imperial doctors took turns to wait day and night, but they were still powerless.

The crown prince was naturally the first to receive the news, but King Zhao and King Jin also got the news almost at the same time and rushed to the emperor's bed.

"My lord, are we going into the palace?" General Zhao asked.

Zhang Yanjin had just received the news from Han Wei, probably the emperor had explained to Han Wei before.

"Has Master Han entered the palace?" Zhang Yanjin asked.

"Master Han has returned to the prefect's mansion."
