Hotaru [The Tale of Genji]

Nothing has made Imamami and the entire court so angry.Those daring corrupt officials, greedy for a lot of money from the imperial court, used those defective and defective fabrics and porcelain as first-class to deceive the entire royal family.However, those real masterpieces were secretly swallowed up by them.Or, take these things to bribe their superiors, collude, and win more money and power.

The minister who impeached had already made preparations, and the evidence presented was complete and without falsification.His Majesty was shocked and overturned the case on the spot, and ordered the Ministry of Criminal Affairs to thoroughly investigate the case.

Naturally, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment did not dare to be negligent, and took orders tremblingly, and investigated the matter from beginning to end.The results of the investigation were shocking, and the implications were enormous.They didn't dare to be good at it, and hurriedly presented the results to Jinshang.

His Majesty was trembling with anger as he held the notebook that had been sent up.This case of corruption and bribery was more serious than he thought, involving several important officials from the DPRK and China.And when he thought about it, in the past few months, all the bounties he had given time and time again had become a complete joke because of this incident.

Those gifts that represented the deep love of Imagami had already been stained with irreparable flaws when they were delivered to His Royal Highness Barnacle.

This kind of thing can never be forgiven!He must be severely punished!

When Imamami was furious on the throne, the right minister was also having a headache in his mansion.The Dazai Daier who took the lead in committing the crime this time is a figure highly valued by the right ministers.After the Dongchuang incident, the panic-stricken Dazai sent a letter overnight to seek asylum.

That servant knelt at the feet of the minister on the right, begging for mercy with tears in his eyes, please see that for the sake of their respect and service, you must come forward and guarantee to save these people's lives.The theory of reverence and effectiveness is certainly not false. Of course, some of the things brought up by filial piety have entered the treasury of the right minister, but there are still some good things that even the right minister has never seen.

He didn't get all the benefits, and was tainted with fishy smell.The right minister was both angry and troubled.

Although very annoyed, Minister You finally decided to come forward to help.One is because he doesn't want to chill the hearts of those who are watching, and the other is that he will never let the Zuo Minister's faction seize such a good opportunity to step on his feet.

This powerful minister knew about it, and there were quite a few courtiers involved in the left minister's side.Now that he was overthrown, he must not be the only one who suffers.As for Dazai Daer, Dazai Quanshuai, who are really short of good jobs, they must not fall into the hands of Minister Zuo in the end!

In this way, the left and right factions set off a fierce battle of abuse.The corruption and fraud case of Dazaifu has become more and more confusing, involving more ugly and hidden things of factional struggles.

Today, he never imagined that there are so many dirty things in the court under his control.To cover it up, the mask of whitewashing peace was lifted, bluntly satirizing Konaka's incompetence.This gentle monarch quickly withered away in just a dozen days, with a dull depression in his chest, ashamed and remorse tormented him very painfully.

However, although His Majesty has been depressed during his reign, he was unable to display his ambitions.But after all, he has also been the owner for half his life, and he must have the courage and determination that he should have.After visiting Prince Izumi once, the depressed Imakami cheered up again as if inspired by something.He summoned the Minister of Internal Affairs and several other important ministers to discuss how to understand this matter.

At this time, in the court hall, the mutual attacks between the left and right factions finally came to an end.The ugly scene with each other is almost shaken off, and everyone is silently waiting for His Majesty's decision.

Soon after, the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a decree, and the Minister of the Interior presided over the case of Dazai Daier's fraud.Although the left and right ministers avoided, there were also officials with high ranks in the power who attended the assistant minister.After three trials and three investigations, the facts of the case were found to be true, and many years of fraud cases were uncovered.The main offender was sentenced to relocation and exile, and the other offenders were dismissed and relegated, etc., each with its own punishment.

In the end, the right minister did not keep the senior second, but when he thought that the loss on the other side was not small, he gritted his teeth and swallowed the smell of blood in his throat.

After this case, the court purged many officials, and the dust should have settled.Unexpectedly, the candidate for the new Dazai University has not been announced yet.Although both factions were hurt, they were unwilling to let go of such a good job.Before taking a breather, they fought again in the court hall.

Rao is like this, today is still secretive, never followed their wishes.

Such a lively scene, but the adults of the inner palace did not participate in it.After resolutely closing the case, he started to fight sloppily in the hall.People on both sides wanted to win him over and let him speak for him.He always pretended to be confused, and once fell asleep during a fierce quarrel.

Faced with the unceremonious questioning of several adults, the Minister of the Interior always said that he was old, and that he had spent too much energy on this matter and was unable to think about it. Everything was based on today's will.That old and sentimental look made people itch with hatred, but there was nothing they could do about it.

And this minister, who claimed to be old, was in the courtyard of his home at this time, enjoying the evening breeze, drinking fine wine, and chatting with his prince and grandson.

"You are really calm. You found out about this thing early tomorrow, and it was almost half a year before you shook it out." The lord of the Neifu held a round fan with beautiful bird feathers and fanned it up and down.Shaking his head and sighing, he took another sip from his glass.

"Please be more restrained," His Royal Highness Ying, who was sitting across from him, took the jug from the minister of the inner court and put it on his side, "I was ordered by my father to visit the elderly and infirm. It belongs to the master of the inner palace. If you bring it back and smell like alcohol, you will be scolded by your father and mother."

"Hey!" The lord of the Neifu narrowed his eyes and raised his beard, "Look at him, he actually taught his grandfather a lesson!"

"To tell the truth, please grandpa, please love your grandson more." The Fourth Highness did not change his face, completely ignoring the complaints of the Minister of Internal Affairs.He shook the wine cup in his hand, and finally put it down on the table without drinking it.

The people around have long been accustomed to such an interesting way of getting along with the grandparents and grandchildren, and they all sat and watched with smiles on their faces as they made fun of each other.

The Minister of Internal Affairs curled his lips, stroked his beard, and moved closer, "Yingying, you haven't told your grandfather yet, why did you wait until now to reveal this matter..."

"Of course it's because the timing is right."

"You child, if you say it, it means you didn't say it!"

It is true that His Royal Highness Ying has long been aware of Dazai Daier's fraud and bribery.As for the disclosure at this time, it is indeed the most suitable time as His Highness said.

His Royal Highness Ying's coronation ceremony is coming soon, and he urgently needs a powerful identity to enter people's field of vision.His Highness despises those nominal and empty positions, so he naturally wants a position that can firmly hit the sore spots of the nobles and ministers in Beijing.This Dazaifu is the best place to start.

"Then why are you sure that you will vigorously investigate this case today? You know, this kind of thing happened more than once. In the past, you always turned a blind eye to it."

"This is due to the fact that the fifth emperor was born in a timely manner. Father loves the fifth emperor and the barnacle female royal so much, how can he allow his love to be mixed with the slightest falsehood?"

The evening breeze is warm, blowing the clear wine in the cup, rippling the bright moonlight in the sky.The prince toasted to the moon, with a smile on his lips.

He said leisurely: "The most important thing is that Suzaku will be enthroned soon. I don't want him to be enthroned, because I will be disappointed when I see a dirty and smelly court hall. So while those people still have scruples When it’s time, trim it well and pull out some weeds that are unsightly..."

"...It's a pity that I am too young to do it myself. I have troubled my grandfather this time, and you have worked hard." The prince handed the glass of wine to the Minister of the Interior, sincerely expressing his gratitude.

The lord of the Neifu patted his knees happily and laughed.He took the wine cup, raised his hand and drank it all in one gulp, "Okay, okay, I have no regrets to see the Fourth Highness today, I have no regrets!"

The prince raised his wine cup again, and said to the bottom: "Today's success is due to everyone's contribution. Let me bring wine with water, thank you for a glass..."

The successful conclusion of this fraud case is indeed due to the credit of several people present.If it weren't for their well-informed and quick thinking.I found that there are always high-quality things sent from Chikushi, and they are regularly sent to the mansion of a lord who is related to the right minister by marriage, and reported to His Royal Highness and the lord of the inner court in time. Discover.

The people sitting next to him didn't expect His Royal Highness to remember him, and blushed with excitement.They all hurriedly raised their wine glasses and happily drank the wine in the glasses.

The minister of the inner court was very relieved to see Prince Ying, who was becoming more and more thoughtful, and said with emotion: "Last time I wrote to your mother to discuss the selection of followers. Your mother replied that they can be included under the banner, and said it was your intention. I was very surprised at the time, but now it seems that you are really thoughtful."

"The grandson was in the imperial palace. Although he was studying hard day and night, he still suffered from the pain of closing his eyes and listening. After thinking hard, he finally realized the importance of being accessible everywhere. Although he is in a temple, the affairs of the four universes outside Beijing still remain. It cannot be ignored. Only then can the ears and eyes be clear and not be deceived."

His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince wants to achieve many things, so he must need a lot of help.Chengxiang Hall and the ministers are very happy to provide the necessary resources, and His Highness will also use them to the real situation, so as not to waste them.

When I was young, I was influenced by the world, and those beautiful visions like ivory towers will always be broken.The changing time will never wait for him.It is precisely because of this deep understanding that the prince, who is about to hold a crown ceremony, has gradually gathered the world affairs that once controlled him into his own hands step by step.
