Chapter three hundred and eighty third panic
"This..." After hearing what the Prime Minister meant, he had no grudge against the Emperor in his heart. Instead, he looked like he was thinking about him. He Chi was speechless.
Feeling these Xu Han and others, although he was a little fat, he was still a mortal body after all, and could not blow much wind. He could only move his old legs with force, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:
"Ms. sir, it's cold here! Let's go in and play. Look, all the chess pieces have been blown away!"
"This wind is cold, but it can't be as cold as my heart!" Cui Quan said lightly, looking at He Chi with eyes full of reproach.
"You must have been a Jinshi for ten years (AD 937)!"
"Yes, it has been more than twenty years now. From a Jinshi to a household official, it is really hard work. Looking back, I see that there are not many of my classmates in the past!" He Chi didn't know why he said this.
These, but when the topic was brought up, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Thanks to my husband's promotion, I am qualified to serve as an official in the ministry, which can be regarded as a glorious honor. After all, I am a member of a humble family, which can be regarded as the pinnacle - "
"Hmph, so you have nothing to pursue. Now that you are only fifty, you have begun to collect money for your family members in order to have someone to rely on in a hundred years. It has even reached a state of lawlessness."
Cui Quan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into his heart. He Chi's face instantly turned pale, his body began to shake, and his face was full of disbelief.
"This this……"
"The transfer envoy Si Yamen has begun stationed at the household department to prepare for the reconciliation of some account books. This is the emperor's personal request! Fifteen sticks will be hanged, and the emperor has kept his word." Cui Quan stood up, his old body shaking.
Akira, after sitting for a long time, his legs were numb, he felt the air leaking from his neck, and his back was already cold. He sighed softly and said:
"This time I was asked to review the Huainan civilian food case. It was just a target. Secretly, the emperor was preparing to start a big plan. He built plank roads openly and secretly attacked Chencang. Just like when he went north to seize Nanping, he took a surprise and fatal move——"
"Please save my life..." He Chi didn't care about the dignity of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance at this time. He knelt down quickly. The cold sweat on his body was blown by the cold wind and soaked his underwear. His face became more and more wet.
The color of blood is like a piece of white paper.
Fifteen skewers means he will be hanged. With all his wealth, wouldn’t he want to confiscate his family and exterminate his clan? The emperor can really do it. When he enters Guangzhou in person, there will be rivers of blood in the court, and countless families will be plundered and annihilated...
"How can I save you? How can I save you?" Cui Quan sighed and said: "Now I am also on the cusp of the storm. As the minister, you still have to save yourself!"
"Please make it clear..." He Chi quickly begged as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"In this household department, one minister has never been able to do whatever he wants. With these grains, grass, gold and silver, the rest of the officials have no share?"
"You mean?"
"First surrender to Your Majesty, and try your best to pass the blame to the ministers and ministers. Now that a big case is about to happen, if you surrender, you will be considered the number one, and you are in a high position. Your Majesty will definitely take care of it and save the family. It will definitely be possible.
of!"
He bent down and whispered, and then Cui Xianggong walked into the house as if nothing had happened, leaving He Shangshu kneeling on the ground.
Seeing the figure of the husband entering the room gradually disappearing, and thinking about the emperor's mean and murderous character, He Chi became more and more frightened. It wasn't until he lost the feeling in his legs that he finally realized:
Now, even the prime minister is under suspicion and can only protect himself. What can he do?
With the help of his servant, he stood up slowly. He gritted his teeth and left the Prime Minister's Mansion step by step. He sat in an ox cart and returned to his home. He looked at his lovely wife and concubines and his active sons, with a smile on his face.
Just full of sadness.
"Aye, He Shangshu is in charge of the household department. Wouldn't it be a loss to give up so easily?"
After returning to the room, the fine bamboo charcoal was burning slowly in the brazier, with a bit of bamboo fragrance. After sniffing it, Cui Quan slowly sat down with an expressionless face.
His son Cui Yuanze found it difficult to understand his father's ideas. Looking at his father's tired face from working hard for state affairs, he felt very unhappy.
"What is supposed to come will come sooner or later!" After a while, Cui Quan raised his eyes and glanced at his eager son, and he said slowly:
"When Your Majesty first entered Panyu, he used Zhong Yunzhang. When he became the emperor, his holy family gradually declined, until he retired and returned to his hometown, making me the prime minister!"
"Zhong Yunzhang is so diligent in his political work. Everyone in the imperial court admires him very much. However, Your Majesty still uses me instead of Zhong Yunzhang. Why? It's just that I am weak and soft-tempered, so I am very obedient!"
"Now, I must return to the court with the merits of destroying the country, but I see that the obedient prime minister of the past has spread his power to the court in just six months, and I am already worried."
"So, Aye cut off his arm to show his loyalty to the emperor!" Cui Yuan frowned, then relaxed a little.
"Yes and no!" Cui Quan smiled slightly and said:
"In the political hall, the ministers are always rising and falling. The household department is an important part of the imperial court, and they all have disciples. If I go to the minister, I will definitely make life difficult for them, even if the entire household department is emptied..."
"Aye, what a good plan!" Cui Yuan couldn't help but give him a high-five. In this way, the Prime Minister still maintained his leading position in the political hall, and the loss was nothing.
"Moreover, this is also a deterrent to other gentlemen. Killing one thousand enemies will cost you eight hundred, so the gain outweighs the loss!" Cui Yuan said excitedly with his eyes shining.
"Kill three eagles with one stone, what a good plan!"
On the second day, at the end of the year when the imperial court was carrying out its anti-corruption campaign, news suddenly came that He Zai, the Minister of Household Affairs, went to the palace in person to plead guilty, and his family property was confiscated. Then he took his family back to his hometown in despair, farming and studying.
Already.
All the officials were frightened. This was a high-ranking official in the ministry, the Minister of Hubu, who was under the prime minister. He was so frightened that he went to the palace to plead guilty. Your Majesty was intimidating and terrifying.
"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Li Jia walked in the palace, quite unscrupulously. From time to time he raised his chin to examine the palace maids he met, acting like a foolish king. The man who wrote the daily notes did not follow
Come on, let him let go a little bit.
When Wu Qing, the commander of the Radiological Department, came to see him, Ju Lang always avoided it. Li Jia didn't want to write down the dark side in Ju's notes, especially for a department like the Radiological Department that pried into privacy.
"The Ministry of Punishment has raided the entire Household Department. In the home of He Chi, the Minister of Household Affairs, there are 500 hectares of land deeds, 5,000 guan of money, and the rest of the gold and silver jewelry. The total value exceeds 100,000 guan..."
The Criminal Department had just inspected it in the morning and before it was submitted, the Sound Department already knew that Wu Qing had many spies.
