Chapter 316 Let's make a bet
The problem now is that Zhu Qizhen knew that there was something wrong with this money house, but he could not act rashly.
Just imagine, if the order was issued to surround the money house and arrest the boss, I am afraid that as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived, countless victims would immediately come out and fight against the officers and soldiers.
Because in their opinion, it was clear that the court was jealous when he saw others making money and deliberately framed him.
Among these people are ordinary people and many people like Zhang Yi.
Taking money is like killing parents. Isn’t this fighting with you?
Seeing Zhang Yi's surprised face, Zhu Qizhen was helpless and asked, "Don't the Qing family believe it?"
Zhang Yi was speechless. Of course he trusted the emperor.
However, from the bottom of my heart, I can't believe it.
That money house is really a liar?
How is this... possible?
What should I do with my money?
No, they must not be liars, they must have made a mistake. Could it be that the emperor saw that they made money and were even more popular than the imperial stock exchanges, so he... had some prejudice?
Zhang Yi was very struggling inside, and then, as Zhu Qizhen expected, began to hypnotize himself like all the victims.
Well, it must be!
Must be...
Zhu Qizhen sighed secretly. In fact, this feeling is understandable. Not to mention in the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, many victims were still unmoved no matter how their children and relatives around them persuaded them.
The Ponzi scheme seems simple, but to some extent, it captures the weakest part of people's hearts.
In the previous life, there were countless examples of this. Even if it was explicitly prohibited, people would make a comeback if they changed their names.
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen thought and thought in his mind. According to what Zhang Yi said, there are too many people who have been deceived now, and it is absolutely not the best way to directly use force to encircle and suppress it.
Even if the owner of the money house was arrested, he would bite him back, saying that the court deliberately suppressed the money house, which led to the money house going bankrupt and the money was gone.
By then, the deceived person would have lost his mind long ago and would be incited by him. If he might make it happen, something big will happen...
Zhang Yi tried to speak but stopped many times, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
It can be seen that he was very distressed. On the one hand, he was unwilling to believe that Longsheng Money House was a liar, but on the other hand, he felt guilty.
But...what if it's really a liar?
Moreover, the emperor insisted that he was a liar, and if the order was issued to seize the matter, the consequences would be unimaginable...
Zhu Qizhen seemed to see his distress and said, "Don't worry, I will not issue an order to seize this money house, but I want to make a bet with you."
Zhang Yi was stunned, a little overwhelmed, and said in confusion: "What...bet?"
Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said, "I can guarantee that it will take less than ten days... No, five days, this money house will definitely show its own strength!"
Zhang Yi looked up, looked surprised, and then turned to look at him.
Cao Nai has been sitting next to the two of them for a long time and hasn't spoken. At this moment, he couldn't help but think in his heart, "Look at what I'm doing, I haven't invested money!"
Zhang Yi said: "I dare not make bets with the emperor..."
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's a small gambling to be happy, but... since it's a bet, it's better to have a bet, Cao Qing's family, don't you?"
Cao Nai had to nod, but his heart was inexplicably confused. It had nothing to do with me!
Zhang Yi had no choice but to try and ask: "What bet the emperor wants?"
Zhu Qizhen had an idea in his mind and said, "If there is really something wrong with this money house, I don't want you, I just want to ask someone for love, what?"
Zhang Yi and Cao Nai looked at each other, you are the emperor, you have the final say in this world, and you still need to plead for others?
Seeing that the two of them did not answer, Zhu Qizhen continued, "You have seen the situation today. Although Peng Qing and Belin were a little impulsive, they were not considering the way they did things, but... After all, there is a reason for the matter, right?"
The two understood that the emperor was pleading for Peng Qing and Beilin.
Officials of the current dynasty fought in front of Shuntian Mansion and took the lead in fighting in groups. The situation between them was very serious. Regardless of the result of the case, if Shuntian Mansion sued the court, they would have suffered some of them.
Zhang Yi sighed helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, what happened today is so bad that it is no longer something that the minister can control. Why don't you... change the bet?"
Zhu Qizhen thought for a while and said, "Why not do this? If Shuntian Mansion does not come to complain, you will think that nothing has happened before. What?"
Zhang Yi frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "Even if Shuntian Mansion does not come, if the Censor's Censor's Censorate's letter impeachment, I'm afraid..."
The profession of censor was born specifically for impeachment.
Their only function and greatest authority are to impeach others.
Especially Zhu Yuanzhang once decided on the ancestral teachings that the censor could report the news, but as long as you heard about it, regardless of whether it was true or false, you could impeach it.
Zhu Qizhen changed this article and could be impeached, but evidence must be provided.
Otherwise, you will be punished as the crime of rebellion.
In this way, the Censorate has calmed down a little, but has only restrained it. As long as they find real evidence, they will be willing to impeach.
Because if the impeachment is right, it is a meritorious.
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about the Censorate... Or let's change the statement. As long as Shuntian Mansion does not report it, no one in the Censorate will impeach you. You two will just pretend that you don't know anything. Is this okay?"
Zhang Yi looked at Cao Nai, and Cao Nai also looked at Zhang Yi. The two of them looked at each other, and all they saw was confusion.
As a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, if such a thing happens, you must be in charge.
Otherwise, if everyone has a disagreement, they will fight. What kind of convention does it become?
But... the emperor has finished his words, what should I do...
In the end, Zhang Yi had to listen to the scalp and said, "If Shuntian Mansion does not report the report, no one in the Censorate will impeach you. Please... I will pretend that you don't know..."
He felt guilty, and after he finished speaking, he secretly looked at Cao Nai.
After all, he is the chief minister, but now he is the one who bets with the emperor, so he is so confused...
Cao Nai saw that he could not escape, so he had to follow him and said, "I agree!"
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Okay, that's it!"
Fan Zhong turned around in a carriage and took a detour back to the palace. Cao Nai and Zhang Yi left and continued to return to Wenyuan Pavilion on duty. Zhu Qizhen came to the imperial study room and immediately Xuan Tang Xinggu's visit.
Tang Xinggu's identity at this time was different. He was the left censor of the Censorate, and on weekdays, he was no less than the six ministers of the Secretariat.
Because he is very clear about his positioning, that is... I will spray anyone who the emperor asks me to spray!
The former censor Qingliu criticized people regardless of their identity or occasions. He even forced them to criticize them even if they were too anxious, and even the emperor would criticize them, saying that they were frank and spoke out.
Some people even caught the emperor and criticized him for his reputation.
This is nothing more than two consequences. If the emperor is scared, then you will become famous in one battle and become successful in the future.
On the contrary, if you annoy the emperor and pull you out and beat the court stick, you will be the only one who wants to be the one who wants.
Think about it, I am a small seventh-rank censor, but I am not afraid of power and dare to fight against the emperor. How awesome I am!
In the future, when you walk on the street, no matter who you are, you must look up, give a thumbs up, and praise it as good!
This is what Tang Xinggu did at the beginning, but what he got was not praise, but a big mouth.
The slap seemed to open up his Ren and Du meridians. After that, he suddenly changed his style and pointed the finger at friendly forces. No matter who it was, he would start to spray as long as he went against the emperor. Moreover, the firepower was extremely fierce and ordinary people could not spray at all.
In this way, he rose to prominence. In just three years, he was appointed as the Censor of the Left Capital.
Since Tang Xing’s ancient commander of the Censorate, these censors have been much more restrained, mainly because the atmosphere has changed. In the past, they were fighting against the emperor, but now they only follow the emperor. We will do whatever the emperor needs us.
If we say we can't go to the battlefield, who have we ever been afraid of when it comes to verbal battles?
A moment later, Tang Xinggu arrived in a hurry and bowed and bowed.
Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and asked straight to the point: "The Censorate should have known what happened in Shuntian Prefecture, right?"
There is nothing we can do about this. It’s really a big deal, and it’s hard for the Censorate to wonder if it’s hard.
Tang Xinggu nodded and said, "When you return to the emperor, the censor is ready to submit the memorial."
Zhu Qizhen said in a deep voice: "You go back and tell the people from the Censorate that no one can make any comments before the case is investigated!"
Tang Xinggu hesitated for a moment, then immediately reacted and said, "Yes!"
Zhu Qizhen also said: "I am not blocking you and others. The responsibility of the censor is to advise and report things. However, you must be realistic and not act on the news or even exaggerate the words and reverse the black and white. Do you understand?"
Tang Xinggu performed rituals: "I understand!"
"Okay, if anyone is interested in this case, you can go to Changping. You must know that hearing is false, seeing is true, and seeing is true. Only by investigating it yourself can you know it."
"yes!"
