Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Chapter 146 Drag out and raid the house

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After Zhou Chen listened to Du Ruhui's suggestions, he looked at Liu Ye again.

Liu Ye also made a few suggestions of his own.

The meaning of the two is basically the same, and it is not recommended to immediately attack the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Household and the Minister of Punishment at the same time.

Rather, it is to fold one of them first and disintegrate one by one.

This is also in line with Zhou Chen's thoughts.

Without adequate preparation, if the Prime Minister, the Minister of the Household and the Minister of Punishment are attacked together, a lot of officials will be involved at once.

It is not easy to make up for the positions of these officials all at once.

In this case, it would be extremely detrimental to the stability of the court.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui and Liu Ye again; "What about the King of Shu?"

"Do you have any good advice for the King of Shu?"

Zhou Chen looked at Du Ruhui and Liu Ye and asked.

The suggestions made by Du Ruhui and Liu Ye just now were aimed at the three great families and the prime minister Yuan Bo.

The most important figure, the King of Shu, was not involved at all.

Facing Zhou Chen's question, Du Ruhui and Liu Ye looked at each other.

There was a wry smile in my heart.

The reason they just suggested that they did not involve the King of Shu was to avoid this sensitive person as much as possible, and they were unwilling to participate in royal affairs.

From the point of view of Du Ruhui and Liu Ye, as long as the Prime Minister and the three great families are resolved, the King of Shu will not be able to make any big waves.

How to deal with the king of Shu is the matter of the emperor Zhou Chen.

But now, Zhou Chen asked the two of them directly.

Then the two of them can't be ignored.

"Report to Your Majesty, the King of Shu is His Majesty's younger brother. This is His Majesty's family affairs, and it is entirely up to His Majesty to decide."

Du Ruhui and Liu Ye said in unison.

The meaning of the two of them is obvious, that is, this is Zhou Chen, the emperor's family business, and these courtiers have no suggestion, and Zhou Chen decides it all.

Zhou Chen didn't say anything more after hearing what the two of them said.

Zhou Chen understands what the two of them are thinking, and it is estimated that such a thing is not even a smart person.

Therefore, Zhou Chen stopped asking Du Ruhui and Liu Ye what they meant.

After Du Ruhui and Liu Ye left, Zhou Chen's eyes flickered in thought.

After a while.

"Cao Zhengchun."

"You heard what Du Ruhui and Liu Ye said just now! Just do as they said."

"Furthermore, I will send factory guards to Shu, and I want to know all the circumstances of the King of Shu in Shu."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun and said.

Since the King of Shu has already hooked up with the rich and powerful family such as the Yuan family, and wants to change the world, Zhou Chen does not believe that Zhou Zhi, the King of Shu, is not prepared in the land of Shu.

The news from the factory guards in Shu before was only the most basic news.

This time, Zhou Chen wanted the factory guard to find out all about Zhou Zhi's situation in Shu.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Zhengchun immediately bowed and said.

...

the next day.

Start early.

Zhou Chen boarded the dragon platform, turned and sat on the dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials below.

"Long live, long live, Your Majesty."

Civil and military officials knelt down and shouted.

Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials, and said with a calm face; "All the ministers are flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After receiving Zhou Chen's permission, the civil and military officials stood up one after another.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing."

Cao Zhengchun's sharp voice sounded.

"Your Majesty, I have something to do."

As soon as Cao Zhengchun's voice fell, a minister stood up and said loudly.

...

An hour later, the ministers finished their ceremonies, and the early morning came to an end.

Zhou Chen raised his eyes and glanced at the civil and military officials.

The civil and military officials looked at each other, and all bowed and said; "The ministers are gone."

"Since the Aiqings have nothing to play, then I have some things to ask the Aiqings." Zhou Chen said, looking down at the civil and military officials below.

"There was a severe drought in the four northern states, and the imperial court ordered relief. If I remember correctly, five million taels of silver were allocated for disaster relief in the four northern states."

"One million taels of them are used for disaster relief in the four provinces in the northwest."

"But as far as I know, the one million taels have just dropped out of the household, and there are only 200,000 taels left. After reaching the four northwestern provinces, the one million taels of disaster relief silver will only be left with 500,000 taels."

"My dear fellows, who can tell me where the 500,000 taels of disaster relief money have gone?"

Zhou Chen calmly looked down at the civil and military officials below.

When the civil and military officials below heard the words, their expressions changed.

They didn't expect that Zhou Chen would suddenly talk about the disaster relief in the four northern states in the morning.

Now, the rebels in the four northern states have been wiped out, the disaster relief is in full swing, and the entire northern four states have gradually stabilized.

Could it be that Your Majesty is going to start the reckoning after the autumn?

Thoughts floated up, and Baiguan's heart sank.

In particular, the Minister of the Household and other officials of the Ministry of Household had a bad premonition in their hearts.

His Majesty directly named the 1 million disaster relief silver out of the account department, which was short of 200,000 taels. What does this imply?

Wouldn't this imply that they are going to attack their household!

Just as Baiguan's thoughts were spinning, Zhou Chen's voice rang again.

"The other four million taels of disaster relief silver, as far as I know, are actually less than two million taels for disaster relief."

"Aiqings, who can tell me where the other two million taels have gone?"

Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials below, and his face gradually became cold.

"The disaster relief silver is the silver tael for the relief of my Dazhou people. It is the money for saving lives. One tael of disaster relief silver can save a few lives."

"I never thought that the officials of Da Zhou's heart have become so dark that they dare to take this kind of life-saving money."

"I always thought that Dazhou officials were honest and upright, and even if they were selfish, they would take Dazhou's country and society as the most important thing, and would not disregard the life and death of the people."

Zhou Chen's voice was low and depressed, like a volcano before the eruption, the tranquility of a storm.

"But now, I found that I was wrong."

"My Da Zhou, of course, has honest and upright ministers, but there is also no shortage of corrupt worms who disregard my Da Zhou, Jiangshan, society, and crops, and regard the life and death of the people as nothing."

Zhou Chen's voice shook in the hall and echoed in the ears of civil and military officials.

"These corrupt worms, who disregard the Dazhou Jiangshan, the society and the crops, and the people's life and death, corrupt our Dazhou Jiangshan, and I cannot tolerate it."

"I can't stand it either."

Zhou Chen's sharp eyes swept to the civil and military officials below, and the power of the emperor broke out in an instant; "Are you going to stand up and confess your guilt, or let me find you all one by one?"

"I give you a chance to choose."

"If you don't choose, I will let Dongchang help you choose."

Zhou Chen's voice was calm, but his tone was cold.

All the civil and military officials in the hall could not help but shudder.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was extremely depressed.

Some officials had cold sweat on their foreheads.

In particular, when Zhou Chen said the words 'let the Dongchang help you choose', it made some officials' legs tremble.

"Pfft."

An official fell to the ground one by one.

The dense beads of sweat on his forehead already showed the inner struggle and tension of the official.

"Drag out."

"Copy the house."

Zhou Chen glanced at the official coldly and waved his hand directly.

Two factory guards walked in, directly drove the official, and dragged him out.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"I just have numb legs, I don't have corruption and disaster relief money."

No matter how the official shouted, he was directly dragged out of the Golden Palace by the factory guard.

Only the official's shouts were still echoing in the Golden Palace.

Seeing that the official was dragged out and his house was searched, the atmosphere in the hall was even more pronounced.

The ministers bowed their heads in silence, daring not to make the slightest change.

After a while.

Zhou Chen's cold voice resounded in the ears of the ministers again.

"It seems that some Aiqings don't plan to stand up and plead guilty."

"I want me to ask Dongchang to help him choose."

Zhou Chen said and looked at the Minister of the Household; "Master of the Household, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"As the Minister of the Household, you are in charge of the Ministry of Household treasury. As a result, you have one million disaster relief silver, and the door of the Ministry of Household has just lost 200,000 taels."

"Do the mice in your household even eat silver?"

Zhou Chen looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Housing and said with an expressionless face.

The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce heard Zhou Chen's words and saw that Zhou Chen pointed directly at him, and his heart sank to the bottom.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty."

"The minister is the minister of the household, but the minister does not know anything about such a thing happened in the household."

"I have committed the crime of neglect, please forgive me."

"But I can guarantee that I have never embezzled a tael of disaster relief money."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to investigate."

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce knelt on the ground with a 'puff' and said.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing did not know why Zhou Chen, the emperor, suddenly clicked on the head of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing.

It stands to reason that the affairs of the Ministry of Household have been dealt with by the Minister of the Ministry of Household, and it is impossible for him to be involved.

But now, Zhou Chen, the emperor's posture, obviously seems to have found his head, the Minister of the Household.

This made Shangshu's heart tighten, and he mentioned it in his throat.

Yeah?

Zhou Chen sneered.

"Cao Zhengchun, read out what you found in the East Factory to my lord Shangshu."

Zhou Chen glanced at Cao Zhengchun who was standing beside him and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Cao Zhengchun took a step forward, glanced at the ministers, and said loudly; "After the investigation of the East Factory, the Minister of the Household, Fan Yongdou, was greedy for 2,580,000 taels of silver for disaster relief in the four northern states."

"A month ago, the silver taels obtained from the destruction of the Wujin First Party went into the Ministry of Housing's treasury.

"Accepted bribes of 2,340,000 taels."

...

"Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, has twenty-eight mansions, hundreds of properties, and a number of farms and fields..."

As Cao Zhengchun read out one by one, Fan Yongdou's face changed directly.

Every time Cao Zhengchun uttered a sentence, Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, turned pale.

Because of every count that Cao Zhengchun read, Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Ministry of Household, knew it best.

After Cao Zhengchun finished reading, Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, was already bloodless.

Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, never thought that Dongchang would actually find out these charges against him.

how can that be?

He has already dealt with it very cleanly, how could the East Factory still be found?

What Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Ministry of Household, did not expect the most was that Dongchang not only found out his crimes, but also his family property.

Although these family properties are not all of him, but only a part of him, they are enough to shock people.

When the ministers in the hall heard the counts recited by Cao Zhengchun, and looked at the pale face of Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, they still didn't understand that the counts that Cao Zhengchun recited were probably correct.

The hearts of most officials suddenly became worried.

This East Factory can find so many things in the Ministry of households, can't they find them?

The Prime Minister Yuan Bo's expression also changed a little, and he secretly scolded Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Ministry of Household, "Idiot."

He had already reminded Fan Yongdou, the minister of transfer, that Zhou Chen, the emperor, might start from this aspect.

Ask Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, to clean up everything that needs to be cleaned up, leaving no traces, and don't move any money in a short period of time, be safe.

But this minister of households, Fan Yongdou, had more than enough success and more than failure, so he actually took his words on deaf ears.

Okay now, I was found out by Dongchang, is there any room to escape?

After Cao Zhengchun finished reading these charges, Zhou Chen looked at Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, again.

"My lord, is this what you just told me you didn't embezzle a tael of disaster relief money?"

"As for those properties of yours, the East Factory has only investigated a part of it, and it has already topped the tax for the two years of our big week."

"You can't tell me that your family property is the salary that I gave you from Da Zhou!"

Zhou Chen looked at Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, and said sneeringly.

I really don't know if I don't check it, I'm shocked when I check it.

Part of the property of a minister of households has already topped the tax for the last two years of the Great Week. If this is all the property, I don't know how much!

Zhou Chen knew that these officials were greedy, but he didn't expect how greedy they would be.

The family fortune of this minister of household is estimated to be able to top the five-year tax revenue, which is even richer than that of the previous general Wu Jin.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

"The minister was born in the Jiexiu Fan family, and these family properties are also divided among the clan, and they are not corrupted by the minister."

"As for the disaster relief silver and the silver in the Ministry of Household's treasury, the minister is not greedy. This is definitely someone who framed the minister!"

"Also ask the emperor to see it clearly."

Fan Yongdou, the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, shuddered, reacted immediately, returned his expression, and defended loudly.

wronged?

"It's all this time, and you're still calling me wrong?"

"Drag out."

"Break into the Dongchang prison and give me a good trial. I want to see how wronged he is."

Zhou Chen's cold voice fell.

Two factory guards walked in and went straight to grab Fan Yongdou, the minister of households.

"boom……"

Fan Yongdou's aura changed, sending two factory guards flying.

"Dark Lord."

"You first killed the Taifu and the general for various reasons~www.wuxiahere.com~ and then copied the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Personnel, these important court officials."

"Now, you want to beat me up again and wrong me, the Minister of the Household."

"You are so cruel to Zhongliang, you are ashamed of the previous emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"This official, for the sake of the great Zhou's country, let me kill you, the faint-hearted monarch."

After Fan Yongdou, the minister of households, flew two factory guards, he flew directly to Zhou Chen on the dragon chair.

Because Fan Yongdou has already seen the form in front of him, that is, no matter what, he is doomed.

In this case, Fan Yongdou has nothing to worry about.

Anyway, it's hard to escape death, it's better to use a little residual heat before death.

The most important thing is that Fan Yongdou did not want to go to the prison of Dongchang.

He was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the torture of Dongchang, so he said something that should not be said.
