As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

Think about it, the old Lu has tended not to seek meritorious deeds but to seek no faults in everything he has done in the past ten years. Huamanlou investigates the Japanese pirates.

So in this way, can Lu Kun have some credit?

But after this time it will be different.

The so-called non-complaint has already become a blockbuster. This time, Xuanwu Wei's action is the case that directly led to the downfall of more than a dozen important officials in the court, including a minister, and he was able to do things without telling the truth. This...

The Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't have such a record, okay?So after this incident, who in the court would dare to underestimate Xuanwuwei?

More importantly, Lu Kun has completely refreshed his image in front of Emperor Guangxing today, turning him from a not-so-honest person into a person who is dedicated to his duty, prudent and professional, and bears the burden of humiliation. Families, wouldn’t you have everything if you had the Holy Families?

Besides...

Seizing people, ransacking houses, this kind of errands are always for the purpose of making a fortune, and you can collect anything that you find interesting in the confiscation, anyway, no one knows what is in the prisoner's house before the confiscation. ?

In fact, Xu Dacheng was extremely greedy about this matter, he was even a little angry why Huamanlou didn't let him do this matter, but Huamanlou only asked him three questions and let him dismiss it Think carefully: "First: Do you think that with an honest person like you, you can think deeply enough to spend a few years doing verification? None, but you actually noticed it and sent someone out...isn’t that out of the ordinary? Third: These things were originally found out by the Xuanwu Guards. Are you sure that Lu Kun will not talk to you after you report these things? make trouble?"

All in all, Lu Kun got the credit just like that, which made him extremely admire Huamanlou's ability to manage the game - he killed so many important officials without showing his face in the court, and even did not let the other party notice when it was time to kill , this kind of strategy behind the scenes...

Anyway, while Lu Kun was overjoyed, he also faintly trembled in his liver.

……

A little bit forward in time, Tobe.

After Er Situmu smashed the Hengtai firm, Na Zhenghao was extremely angry.But after all, he was a national envoy, so although Erstumu left after smashing the store, Na Zhenghao had no choice but to sit and wait for the news before there was any news from the palace.

At this time, he still didn't even think there was any major problem. Even if Erstumu revealed the Hengtai Company's smuggling of salt and iron, the unsubstantiated matter was nothing more than nonsense.Moreover, Nazhenghao didn't think that such things could be known by Emperor Guangxing, after all...he really looked down on Lu Kun's character.

What's more, the development of Hengtai's business is not dependent on the shopkeeper or the shop assistant, but Nashangshu himself, so it's no big deal to lose it.

If it goes a step further, even if Emperor Guangxing knows the relationship between these companies and himself, he only needs to say that he doesn't know how to play a righteous game to kill relatives-that is to say, although it seems that the prohibition of officials from doing business seems to restrict officials, it can be done. In the case of weak supervision, it has accidentally protected officials...

Therefore, what Na Zhenghao thinks at this time is not how to solve his own crisis at all, but revenge, and what...

"Hua Manlou is really a talent!" Na Zhenghao's eyes were gloomy, and his face was full of sarcasm: "If he hadn't beaten the Japanese pirates a few days ago, I really couldn't do anything about it. Now the envoys from all over the world have expressed that To study "Laws of Great Zhao", the barbarians have to follow the rules of Great Zhao when they come to court, otherwise...wouldn't they be slapping His Majesty in the face?"

As soon as he thought about this, he summoned his confidant and said: "Go, take my name card and invite the Li Ke to Shizhong and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to have a banquet at Wanxianglou tonight."

Na Shangshu plans to launch a questioning at the court tomorrow.

"Yes, sir."

"Oh, and also, send someone to Hengtai and tell the shopkeeper that if anyone asks about the smuggling of salt and iron, don't admit it to death."

"Yes."

After his confidant went out with the name card, when Na Zhenghao was planning to communicate with those in his lineage, a small yellow door suddenly broke into his room.

Na Zhenghao recognized that this was an insider in the palace, so he frowned and said: "What's the matter? But there is news from the palace? How should the Wala people deal with it?"

The little yellow gate looked terrified when he entered the door, but after hearing Na Zhenghao's words, he was stunned for a while: "Wala? No, Mr. Butang is not well. The old ancestor said that His Majesty invited Xuanwu Wei Shuai Lu to enter the palace..."

"Lu Kun?" Na Zhenghao smiled bluntly: "So what if he enters the palace?"

Xiao Huangmen said eagerly: "Shuai Lu presented some things, and it looks like evidence of some companies in the capital's business. The ancestors said to let the ministers make preparations quickly..."

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Before Xiao Huangmen finished speaking, the bell from the Bell and Drum Division suddenly rang.

Na Zhenghao was taken aback: "Is this... the bell of the morning?"

Reminiscent of Xiao Huangmen's reminder just now, Na Zhenghao suddenly felt a chill down his back.

At this time, the confidant suddenly ran in hastily: "Master, it's not good! For some reason, Xuanwu Wei suddenly arrested everyone in the firm!"

Na Zhenghao stood up abruptly, and his face turned pale immediately afterward: Something has happened!

476. Die a few times

When he stepped into the palace gate, Na Zhenghao's plan was no longer to take revenge on the Wala people, but to think about how to get rid of the crime.

Things suddenly developed to this point, even Na Shangshu, who has been in the ups and downs of his career for many years, couldn't help but feel his liver tremble, but at this moment he still has a fluke mentality.

Because although the Hengtai Company is Na Zhenghao's property, it is obviously managed by his distant relatives, so this matter probably has nothing to do with him.

And now that the shopkeeper has been taken down, if he is tortured, he will spit him out. This makes him feel extremely worried, but there is no way out: just use ignorance to fool him.

After all, I don't know how many people in the court play like this. If someone dares to tear this layer of cloth, it will be bad for everyone's market, and no one wants to break the unspoken rules.

And now only Na Zhenghao's Hengtai business name is exposed, but there are so many Shanxi merchants, and there are people behind them in the court.If this group of people dared to do nothing to save him, then Lao Nada could drag everyone into the water. At that time, the situation would be that everyone would finish the game together, or the law would not punish everyone.

From the perspective of Emperor Guangxing's benevolence, there is a high probability that everyone will be exonerated, relegated or dismissed together, but their lives can be saved.

Therefore, when he walked to Fengtian Hall, Na Zhenghao's mood had already recovered. Although his face was serious, he was not too frightened to tremble.

After exchanging winks with some of his colleagues, Na Zhenghao's mood became more stable, and then he began to secretly say: Wala!If I can pass this level with my instincts, I will definitely take revenge on you for the rest of my life!

When Emperor Guangxing sat on the throne with an indifferent face, Na Zhenghao was already thinking of sending people pretending to be Oirats to assassinate some merchants and civilians along the border to stir up their relationship with Da Zhao...

Ran goose ...

Everything is so unusual today.

All the ministers knew about the troubles that Wala had caused in the streets of Nancheng today, so most people thought that Emperor Guangxing called the court meeting urgently because of this, so when they came, many people began to draft their stomachs, and...

There are very few people who want to punish the Wala people in the same way that Huamanlou punished the Japanese pirates.

Because, except for the group of people who have already voted for Huamanlou, most people in the court still think that the trade with Wala is controlled by Huamanlou, so whether they are greedy for this cake or simply want to disgust Huamanlou Whether it is Lou, they all hope to provoke Wala in his name, and it would be even better if they can destroy the relationship between the two parties.

Therefore, a certain guy who received Na Zhenghao's "eye hint" before the shift came out of the shift at the beginning of the court meeting and said: "Qizou Your Majesty, the envoy of the Wara Kingdom brought people to smash up the shop, not only seriously provoking your majesty's majesty, Moreover, it violated the laws of Dazhao, so I ask you to deal with Wala in accordance with the law, so as to serve as an example to others."

Emperor Guangxing looked at this guy expressionlessly, and then smiled slightly after a long time: "Then, in your opinion, how should we deal with it?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, if you read that he didn't hurt anyone, you can ask Wala to apologize to the store, compensate for all losses, and kneel down to plead guilty to His Majesty. If he doesn't follow or is perfunctory, you can break off ties and tribute with him, and all trade is strictly prohibited. "

Emperor Guangxing nodded: "It's a way."

then……

No more text.

The ministers were at a loss for a while: Is it a way?So do you agree or not?If you disagree, give a hint, and someone will come out to refute it. If you agree, you should issue an order, and the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple will urge it to be implemented, but why don't you say a word?

An embarrassing atmosphere rose in the hall, and the guy who left the shift neither advanced nor retreated, so he had to turn his eyes to Na Zhenghao for help.

Na Zhenghao also looked suspicious at this moment: Does His Majesty know about Hengtai's private crime against Yantie?This kind of reaction... Could it be that Lu Kun, that old bastard, was a little slanderous?

Just when he was hesitating, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, who did not want to be named, gave a slight hint, and the head of the Ministry of Rites, the guest of the Qing Dynasty, came out to cheer him up: "Qizou Your Majesty, I think such a rough treatment is not appropriate."

Emperor Guangxing also smiled at this: "Why?"

The master said: "Back to your Majesty, there must be a demon in the so-called abnormality, so you must investigate. Your Majesty, after the battle at the gate of Huamanlou in Xishan Bohua the year before last, the envoys of the Kingdom of Oara must be honest and trembling when they come to Beijing, and a few days ago Uncle Xishan taught the Japanese envoys a lesson, and since then the envoys of various countries have been cautious in their words and deeds in the capital, but Wala, who is the least likely to cause trouble, suddenly made trouble, and I think there must be a reason for it, Your Majesty must investigate."

Na Zhenghao's face turned dark when he heard the words: What kind of grudge?

But before he could say anything, Tongdang had already jumped out: "This statement is wrong. The barbarians don't know etiquette, don't respect education, and behave strangely. The envoys of the former Japanese kingdom still made shocking acts. How clever can Wala be?"

"Exactly!" Another person jumped out: "Uncle Xishan couldn't stand the barbaric behavior of these barbarians, so he ordered him to read "Great Zhao Law", but the time is still young, and the barbarians can't even speak Chinese. You can’t say everything, let alone read and write?”

"Maybe the Hanlin Academy can send someone to teach him how to read and write..."

"To teach the barbarians, why do you need the Hanlin Academy? The Imperial Academy's candidates are all great sages among the barbarians..."

"Speaking of which, Uncle Xishan is a bachelor of the Royal Institute of Technology, why not teach the barbarians by him? His outstanding achievements are enough to shock the barbarians..."

Hearing this group of people going further and further away and even dumping the matter directly on Huamanlou, Nie Shangshu didn't send anyone to cheer him up, but just looked at this group of mentally handicapped people who didn't know anything with sympathy. Arrange for Wala's disposal—keep jumping, the higher the jump, the worse the fall, this kind of scene is really uncommon!

At this moment, Nashangshu still didn't know how much Emperor Guangxing knew, but it was right for everyone to put the matter on Wala's head as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Na Zhenghao's heart suddenly tightened: No!If it was only because of the disturbance in Wala, His Majesty would never hold a court meeting!So what is the situation now?

Seeing more and more people jumping out, Na Zhenghao suddenly noticed that it seemed that people from his own line were talking, and the others... except for the head of the etiquette department just now, it seemed that none of them came out to speak. This...

Just when he was startled, Emperor Guangxing suddenly laughed out loud: "Okay, I know. Come on, come on, I just thought that this matter was provoked by Wala, all the lovers, stand in the middle. Well, Yes, stand in the middle and let everyone take a good look..."

A group of people stupidly followed Emperor Guangxing's wishes and stood in the center of the court, and then Emperor Guangxing nodded to Xu Dacheng, who then picked up a stack of papers from the small yellow door behind him and handed them to the standing group. The three most senior civil servants.

"Come on, let's all take a good look... Oh, Na Aiqing, yes, it's you, and you stand in the middle." Emperor Guangxing smiled and said something that almost drove Na Zhenghao out of his wits.

Although there were a lot of materials in that pile, everyone read it quickly. After all, the things recorded on it were similar, the difference was only in the date, quantity, and who did it. In the sound, the information spread throughout the entire court.

Of course, the people standing in the middle didn't get any paper. Accompanied by other people's murmurs and various gazes, this group of people shivered all over, and some even knelt on the ground. ——At this moment, which Tie Hanhan still can't see the signs?

Soon the materials spread, and after the principals in the back row collected and returned the materials, Emperor Guangxing looked at the group of people in the middle with interest: "Come on, let's continue, what's wrong with Wala? I want Xishan Should I go and deal with them, or send someone to explain the "Law of Great Zhao" to them, or go to the Imperial College to teach them how to read and write?"

Pfft!

Including Na Zhenghao, a group of people knelt down, and no one dared to say a word.

It's so ironic.

If they kept a low profile after entering the palace, they might not have been so embarrassing, but no one else said a word, only the head of the ritual department came out and said they wanted to find out, but they all jumped out like idiots. To characterize the matter directly, this matter is very troublesome.

Seeing that the group of people did not speak, Emperor Guangxing continued on his own: "Speaking of the "Law of Great Zhao", I don't remember very clearly. Mr. Zeng, in the case of "Law of Great Zhao", there are many people who smuggle salt and iron. What is the crime against a foreign race?"

Elder Zeng Ge came out of duty and said solemnly: "Return to Your Majesty, this matter is regarded as an accomplice to treason."

"Oh, how about crime?"

"Anyone who plots to rebel and conspires will be executed, regardless of the leader. Wife, concubine and children will be paid to the family of the hero as slaves, and the property will be merged into the official. Parents and brothers will travel two thousand miles..."

"Is that so?" Emperor Guangxing seemed to be very curious: "Then what about stealing and selling armaments, military rations, bribing officials, and accepting bribes?"

Although Mr. Zeng Ge is old, his memory is quite good. He even spoke directly without thinking about it, and also said those crimes that Emperor Guangxing did not mention, which were mentioned in the documents just now, as if he was telling the officials In the law popularization class: "Everyone who is in charge of the supervisor, steals money and food from the warehouse, regardless of leader or follower, and more than forty pieces, will be beheaded..."

Lao Zeng Zhong's angry voice echoed in the hall, others thought it was nothing, but the people kneeling in the middle seemed to be listening to the death knell, and some even lost control of fear.

A certain Elder Wen surnamed Ge turned his head and glanced at it. He didn’t know what he was thinking. After Elder Zeng Ge finished speaking, he added a paragraph: "Those who defecate in the Temple of Heaven are treasonous for plotting to destroy the palace. Fan Da Rebels but co-conspirators, regardless of leaders and followers, are all Ling Chi..."

belch!

Someone fainted from fright.

The officials wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Many people coughed to cover up their gaffes: Duozhu, I've been beheading them for a long time. This group of people is so frightened that their spirits have collapsed. Are you still playing Lingchi?What about the co-conspirators, what's the matter, after one or two scares, it's too late for you to treat the others who didn't scare you as accomplices?

Emperor Guangxing on the throne kept laughing, and after hearing Elder Wen Ge's words, he said directly: "If that's the case, how should this group of people be punished?"

Elder Fan Ge on the side seemed to be standing on a united front with the other two and spoke out: "Dodge and punish multiple crimes. If you commit all of the above, you may die several times."

Emperor Guangxing nodded and said: "Then let me die several times."

It wasn't until this time that Na Zhenghao spoke for the first time: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

477. Changes in Xishan

This incident is the only one since the Guangxing Dynasty that there was no debate between the two sides, no roar of Emperor Guangxing, and a group of officials went on at the same time.

Judgment in court, treatment in court, without any detailed interrogation by the three courts, they went directly to the imperial prison. Even when this group of people just entered the palace, Xuanwuwei ransacked their homes, and even ransacked a lot of shops in Nancheng Market Lost, and a group of people went straight to Shanxi to search their hometown.

On the other hand, there are quite a few officials from the Nine Borders colluding with this group of people. Yiti rode out everywhere, and officials from Shanhaiguan to Jiayuguan were affected, and their homes were confiscated and sent to prison.

This time, Emperor Guangxing didn't care about benevolence or not, he strictly ordered the rebellion as soon as possible without mercy.So after this incident, more than a thousand people lost their heads, and more than ten thousand people were exiled.

Even so, none of the censors came out to jump—judging from the beating nature of this group of people in the past, it is estimated that they would say something indiscriminately, such as "Punishment is not a scholar-bureaucrat", but This time...

Well, thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king, and the benevolent king is also the king, so it is not a big deal for the benevolent king to chop off a few inconsequential ones.

Anyway, his lineage of Nashangshu is quite hated by people, and all of them used to look like wealthy landowners with their nostrils upturned. It’s true that you don’t welcome them—you can know them just by looking at them when they are in full swing. What a beating every day.

Now the wall is falling and everyone is pushing, and the other Shanxi merchants who were left behind by Huamanlou are secretly thankful, and at the same time they have recruited a group of people - this is to show Huamanlou to draw a clear line, and secondly, it is In order to let this group of people hang up as soon as possible to ensure that they did not reveal their affairs, it is very rare that no one in the court has pleaded for Na Zhenghao's group until the end.

Therefore, after disposing of so many people, there was no turmoil in the court at all-of course, a series of incidents caused by the vacant position is another matter.

Many uninformed people in the court only said that it was Na Zhenghao's unlucky encounter with Er Situmu this time, but those who knew could see the shadow of Hua Manlou in it, and many people were extremely shocked by it, such as This is the case with Mr. Zeng Ge.

After the incident, Mr. Zeng Ge went to the Huagai Palace to find Lao Wen. After chatting for a long while, he suddenly said, "Your son-in-law is just right, wins by surprise, and kills with one blow. Didn't you teach you this way? No, you It’s not this way, could it be taught by your daughter?”

Old Wen Ge stroked his beard and smiled wryly: "You don't know what he is capable of? Do you need someone to teach you about this?"

Elder Zeng Ge carefully looked at Lao Wen's expression and saw that he didn't seem to be fake, so he said suspiciously: "No, it doesn't look like it. Hua Manlou is good at making strange moves, and it is rare to have such a head-on hand... he Isn't the casino enlightened?"

"Do you believe this too?" Wen Ge was a little dumbfounded: "And you said that he won't fight head-on, and you are biased. You don't know how he fought the battle that decided the overall situation in Pingwa?"

Elder Zeng Ge sighed: "Talent, why is he born to be a nobleman?"

Elder Wen Ge just rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.

"Speaking of which, besides fighting back, does he have plans this time?" Zeng Ge frowned and said: "It's time to fight, so what's the use of this group?"
