Chapter 145: Alliance of Bastards

Lu Xiangsheng has not appeared in front of others for a long time.

It is not that his authority has been marginalized. On the contrary, the authority of the Ministry of Law has been strengthened as never before after the conference.

It’s just that Haechi himself rarely appears in public. He is like a vicious dog hiding in the dark, staring at this new world with eager eyes.

At his request, the young justice officials only saw the law. If they did not violate the law, it would be easy to say anything. If they violated the law, the consequences would be difficult to predict.

It is the job of Han Lingshan and Qian Shaoshao to monitor the world.

How to deal with criminals is the job of the people like Haechi.

Needless to say, this time, Haechi was taken advantage of by people from the Supervision Department.

When Kong Yinzhi entered Yushan City, he was the subject of key supervision by the Supervision Department.

Every move he made after entering Yushan City must be under the supervision of the Supervision Department, including of course the treasures and money he brought.

Yun Zhao can even say with certainty that the Ministry of Supervision must have a copy of the gift list Kong Yinzhi gave him.

The matter is related to Queen Qian. In the absence of Han Lingshan, the Supervision Department does not feel that it has the ability to trouble Queen Qian. At least, this matter will not pass the test with Qian Shaoshao.

The matter is difficult and dangerous, but it still needs to be done.

So, the people from the Supervision Department reported the matter to the Law Department with an official document and asked for a solution.

After seeing this document, Haezhi bravely stepped in even though he knew it was a big trap. After thinking about it, Haezhi was still very confident in His Majesty the Emperor and felt that This time I should hold my nose and admit it.

However, there will never be a next time.

For the sake of His Majesty the Emperor's face, he did not tell the truth. Instead, he obtained a vicious dog from merchants in the Western Regions and gave it to Yun Zhao, which gave His Majesty the Emperor a chance to reflect on himself.

Yunzhao is also a bachelor. Since he has been caught, he invites Xiezhi to visit the treasure sent by Kong Yinzhi.

"This pair of white jade bis are full of ancient charm. At first glance, they are priceless goodies."

Lu Xiangsheng rubbed the crystal clear white jade bis in his hands and admired them from the bottom of his heart.

"However, it is not appropriate to put it here. What do you think of it being placed in the newly built museum?"

Yun Zhao said with a face: "This thing is precious. I heard it is a testimony. Items for the Hongmen Banquet..."

"Alas - Your Majesty is wrong. Enjoyment alone is not as good as enjoyment by everyone. If you put it in the palace, only Your Majesty and a few people can watch it, wouldn't it make the pearl become dusty? , The old minister thinks that it is better to put it on display in a museum so that more people can see it, so that these treasures will not be let down."

"Well... okay"

"This. A pair of jade buckets are obviously fake..."

"Eh? Are you saying that Kong Yinzhi dared to bring fake things?Xi Lai deceived me? "

"No, no, no, jade buckets are jade buckets, and they are also good jade. The old minister said that this pair of jade buckets are obviously the treasures of the Hongmen Banquet put together by later generations. Your Majesty is also a person who is familiar with history books, so he must know it. This pair of jade fights had been smashed to pieces by Xiang Yu's sub-father Fan Zeng with his sword at the Hongmen Banquet. How could they reappear in the human world?

If the fake things are left with His Majesty, it won’t make people laugh. It’s better to send them to the museum together and write down the causes and consequences, so as not to let the people misunderstand that Your Majesty is ignorant and incompetent. "

"Well..."

"Thank you for taking care of the museum. I will have this thing taken away and sent to the museum in a moment. Look, these two spring and autumn The bronze tripod is just a cooking utensil for princes. Now, does your majesty really know how to cook with this thing?

His Majesty has always liked delicious food. Can the food cooked in this bronze cauldron be eaten?

Besides, the things belonging to princes are extremely incompatible with His Majesty’s status.

It is completely useless. Send it away, send it away, and throw it in a museum so that students and common people know how extravagant and lustful the ancient emperors were. "

"Chimes...bronze chimes? Your Majesty is an emperor, how can you use bronze things? You should use jade bells... Send them away, send them away! "

"The Mianfu... Your Majesty can keep this thing. After all, except for Your Majesty, if anyone else keeps the Mianfu, it will be suspected of treason... I still need to ask about this matter. Kong Yinzhi, why does he have a mianfu in his family? "

"This "Taiping Guangji"..."

"Stop! I will not give it to you if you read "Taiping Guangji" under any circumstances! "

Seeing that Yun Zhao was very determined not to hand over "Taiping Guangji", Lu Xiangsheng smiled and stopped talking about this set of books, and walked around the house where the gifts were placed, with his hands behind his back. Circle and found a secret door in the corner

“Hey, Your Majesty, there is a secret door here! "

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "I don't have the key. "

Lu Xiangsheng nodded regretfully and said: "Forget it, the museum has gained a lot, and the veteran has no regrets. ”

The robber’s goal was achieved, and Lu Xiangsheng left with a group of people holding jade bis, jade buckets, chimes, and bronze tripods under the hateful eyes of the Yun family.

Qian Duoduo leaned on Yun Zhao and said weakly: "Our home was robbed.

Yun Zhao looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was walking away with a smile and said to Qian Duoduo: "What a good minister. Why did Chongzhen want to treat this incorruptible, capable and reliable person in the first place?" What about beheading a capable minister who speaks witty words and can go into battle to kill the enemy? "

Qian Duoduo said angrily: "He is bullying you to talk easily. "

Yun Zhao pinched Qian Duoduo's face, which had suffered a big loss just now, took out a key from his sleeve and handed it to her.

"You really are a member of the Yun family's thousand-year family. Was it for free? Tomorrow, I will take Feng Ying to the ancestral tomb cave to have a look. You can move whatever you like. The Kyushu tripod inside is very beautiful.Okay, bring it back and give it a good wipe and put it in the garden as a water urn! ”

Money has no intention of being happy at all. The things in the cave of ancestral graves belong to her family. It means nothing to her to bring her own things back. She just wants what belongs to others.

Politics is extremely delicate... and politicians never explain things clearly to others. Firstly, they will leave clues. Secondly, they will look stupid.

Being able to move things from the emperor's house is enough to show that the power of the Ministry of Law in the Ming Dynasty also opened up a way for those who came behind. ——The Ministry of Justice can even get back the bribes received by the emperor, so... others...

This will be of great benefit to the authority of the Ministry of Justice

In exchange. /p>

Lu Xiangsheng made it clear in his words that as long as His Majesty the Emperor is willing to let him take these things away and hand them over to the country, he will use the power of the Ministry of Law to target Kong Yinzhi.

Open the airtight hole created by Kong Yinzhi - he actually bribed the emperor!

Yun Zhao could imagine what Lu Xiangsheng would do next.

First, the Supervision Department will follow up in a hurry, and then they will learn about Yan Shenggong’s illegal behavior in his hometown, and then the Law Department will come forward to tear apart the huge Yan Shenggong family.

Yun Zhao can directly order this to be done, but if he does this, many people will hate the emperor, and in the end, their hatred of Yun Zhao will be reflected in their hatred of the country.

This. Very bad.

If the Ministry of Law comes forward, and Haechi is known as a person who is not afraid of power and is fair and selfless, as long as the evidence is conclusive, he can be punished within the framework of Lantian Law. Let this family that has influenced China for thousands of years disappear into thin air.

Lu Xiangsheng is the best person to do this.

He will not go too far, but he will definitely be able to do it. It is also important for the Yanshenggong family to comply with the Law of Lantian.

The world is huge, so there are many things to deal with.

It requires great wisdom and means.

When dealing with this kind of thing, Xia Wanchun used the same method as his master.

However, he did not send the merchants from Yangzhou away. Instead of going to the Ministry of Supervision or the Ministry of Law, they sent those commoners who were not taken seriously by Yangzhou merchants to Yushan Academy to work and study business at the same time.

What kind of place is Yushan Academy? Everyone in the Ming Dynasty now knows it clearly.

The most important officials of the Lantian Imperial Court all came from this academy.

His rank is even much higher than that of the Imperial Academy during the Zhu Ming Dynasty.

The supervisors who came out of Zhu Ming's Imperial College could only hold some low-level official positions, while all the mainstream administrators were completely occupied by scientific examination officials.

There were none in the Lantian Imperial Court. If you take the scientific examination, you can enter Yushan AcademyThose who attend school basically have one leg into the ranks of officials.

The army of the Lantian Imperial Court is invincible in the Ming Dynasty. They have occupied most of the Ming Dynasty's land. In less than a year, the Lantian Imperial Court will truly become the supreme power in this land. ruler.

Therefore, when these businessmen found out that their humble concubine had become a student of Yushan Academy Business School, they immediately panicked.

In the past, the legitimate sons who could not accept Xia Wanchun's harsh conditions all made requests to Xia Wanchun, hoping that they could go to Yushan Academy instead of these humble bastards.

On this point, Xia Wanchun's will was firm. No matter bribes, pleas, or intercessions, he could not shake his determination to support these bastards wholeheartedly.

Similarly, this news is not that bad for those merchant family heads. To them, the bastard is also his son. As long as this is guaranteed and they look at this matter from the perspective of a businessman, The positive meaning far outweighs the negative meaning.

The construction of the train track has basically started. The main party of the construction is Lantian Shosaku. Those bastards who study in Yushan Academy will have to spend two days in separate places for every five days of studying in the academy. He spent time stationed at the construction site and discussed and studied the laying of the railway with the generals.

These bastards are very busy. Not only do they have to visit construction sites, they also have to contact various workshops in Lantian as railway builders and personally purchase rails, sleepers, gravel, and everything needed on the construction site. supplies.

Not only that, they are also responsible for recruiting craftsmen and laborers, and organizing these people to carry out the most primitive foundation construction.

Some people who are particularly good at communicating need to participate in the land acquisition work.

It can be said that Xia Wanchun gave these bastards the greatest autonomy and help.

He believed that once these people participated in the construction of this railway, they would have the minimum qualifications and abilities to build a railway.

Given time, it shouldn’t be a problem to become their respective family heads.

The most important thing is that these bastards have formed an alliance, a community of interests, and their interests are basically in the same direction.
