"Hmph, where did you come from? Do you really think that Prince Jing is just going back to Huainan to visit relatives? Those small tricks are nothing but trifling in his eyes, and you really think you can hide it!" Duke Xie is not ignorant of what his two sons have done all these years , It's just that he is greedy for some low-level offerings on weekdays, but now he has the audacity to make a move against the tax bank.

"I know I was wrong..." Gao Lingfei bowed his head on the ground. In fact, not all of the greedy tax money went into their pockets. After King Yu arrived in Huainan, although he didn't say it publicly, he gave hints in secret.If they hadn't been provided with a large amount of money every year, they would not have sat firmly in the high court. However, they have been promoted to Suzhou Zhizhou in four years, and their younger brother Xie Lingfei has even been promoted to deputy history of transfer.

However, the money enshrined below could not enter the eyes of King Yu. In order to protect the reputation of the Xie family for generations, his father was never willing to participate in these flattering activities, so they had no choice but to focus on taxation.

In the past two years, Huainan has suffered a lot of floods, large and small, and they thought that if they lost two points, they might not arouse suspicion, so they boldly took the first time.

But if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. They can't stop it!

"Well, this catastrophe is what the Xie family deserves after all." Today, Shengshang has the heart to govern the country, and it is by no means as mediocre as it looks on the outside.The Nanliang family stretched across the border, and the influence of the royal family was weakening day by day. It would be a matter of time to clean up the family, but this time it was their Xie family who took the lead and were killed as an example to others.

However, the Xie family has been entrenched in Huainan for many years, and the clan relationship is deeply intertwined. Even if the emperor wants to uproot it, it will not be easy.

"If you are free these days, go and see your younger brother more." The matter of taxation and silver is a big deal, and even if he can keep his head, he will be exiled to the Southwest.

Although Xie Jungong didn't explain what he said, he already recognized what his brother did two days ago.

But what if I don't recognize it?If Xie Lingfei hadn't taken the initiative to take all the blame that day, the three of them would have met in the prison today.

Xie Lingyun knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to raise his head, so he asked cautiously: "Then sister..."

"Let her restrain herself, the court is not peaceful these days, don't annoy the sage." Xie Jungong also felt a headache when he thought of his concubine daughter who was far away in the palace. Her daughter was good at everything but was spoiled since she was a child. I can't afford to be the mother of a country.It is simply that the harem of today's sage is empty, and considering the friendship when the palace changed back then, he has not established another person.

It's just that now it seems that this friendship is also a thing of the past, and it's out of His Majesty's eyes.

Xie Lingyun knew her sister's temper, so she could only nod her head slowly when she heard the words: "I know, I will find a way to tell my sister."

After Xie Lingyun left, Duke Xie shut himself in the study for a while in silence.

Today, the Holy Majesty's desire to eradicate the family is becoming more and more obvious. Today, he is the Xie family, and there will be the Yun family, Li family, and Zhang family in the future. If he does not take action, the Nanliang family may become a king under the rule of this generation of Nanliang emperor. history.

The Xie family has been honored for 300 years, is it really going to be destroyed by him?

Thinking of this, Duke Xie sighed again, and finally made a decision.

He took out a jade pendant with a rough carving from the small compartment behind him, and he called the housekeeper to come forward and said, "Send someone to send this to the 'Autumn View Garden' in the south of the city, and say that the master has got a wonderful toy and wants to invite the gardener The Lord came to take a look."

Holding the jade pendant, the butler didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly bowed and left.

Duke Xie looked at the butler's back, and let out a deep sigh.

His son did these things, but he didn't know that he had been kept in the dark for three or four years. If it wasn't for someone from the top to help cover it up, it would never have been possible.

And who this person is is now self-evident.

He just wanted to be safe on one side and enjoy the honor of Duke of the county for generations, but now it seems that he can't help it.

In mid-February, the case of Huainan's embezzlement of ink and tax banks finally came to a conclusion.

In addition to Xie Lingfei, deputy transfer envoy, a total of [-] officials, large and small, were sacked, including Zuo Caoyuan Wailang from the household department.

This Yuanwai Langzu is usually a friendly person, smiling at everyone, not forming cliques, and not greedy for offerings.But it was such a seemingly good-natured official, after a thorough investigation, it was discovered that he had been corrupt for more than 80 taels in the past few years.

80 taels is not a small amount for anyone. When the prime minister of the dynasty adds Lusu, tea, wine, cooking materials, firewood, etc. every month, it is equivalent to only 800 taels, and the silver taels of Yuanwailang alone is worth it. Taxes for a season on Nanliang.

On the day the house was searched, the Ministry of Household Affairs sent two carriages, and it took three or four trips to clean up the hidden silver in the house. The onlookers were all amazed. It was the first time they saw so much white silver, which was an eye-opener.

All corrupt officials have been imprisoned, the evidence is conclusive, and there is no way to deny it, and the sentence can be issued only after the Ministry of Punishment passes the sentencing.

Nanliang founded the country with benevolence. Compared with the previous dynasty, the punishment was lightened, but the crime of corruption of ink was never tolerated.

Tai | Ancestor who came from a poor background has always been severely punished for corruption, not to mention the felony of deceiving the superiors and concealing the corruption of ink, taxes and silver.Therefore, although Duke Xie came from Huainan in a hurry two days before the decree, he knelt outside the Xuanzheng Hall for a whole day, pleading guilty and expressing his feelings, but his son's punishment could not be mitigated.

In mid-March, the Ministry of Criminal Justice ruled that the two main criminals in the Huainan ink corruption case ransacked their homes and confiscated them, exiled them to the southwest, and had their faces tattooed and stabbed as punishment.The rest of the people will be punished with power according to the amount of money they have corrupted, be dismissed from office, and be barred from being an official for life.

Therefore, the biggest ink corruption case since the Holy Majesty ascended the throne has just come to an end. This drama was performed suddenly and ended wonderfully. Although the thrilling and difficult obstacles are unknown to outsiders, the result is enough to make the whole country of Nanliang Shock.

The storytellers in the teahouses in Beijing have many more stories to tell, but this time it is no longer the tragic story of "the general died in a hundred battles, and the soldiers returned after ten years", but "greeding thousands of ignorant money, once aloof and superior". , once exiled to the Southwest" is very happy.

In May of the same year, Concubine Shu gave birth to a baby girl in Hanxiang Hall. The emperor was overjoyed and named her "Xi", which sounds like "Xi", implying hope and the future.

Everyone in the harem thought that if Concubine Shu was so favored, she might replace Concubine De to lead the harem in the near future. If His Majesty favored her more, it would not be impossible to bestow upon the concubine the mother of the world.

Unexpectedly, at the little princess's full moon banquet, His Majesty unexpectedly named the fourth prince's mother concubine Yun Xiuyi as a virtuous concubine, and the third prince's mother concubine as Xiurong, but the status of Shu Guifei remained unchanged.

This move really made everyone in the harem dumbfounded, saying that His Majesty does not favor the noble concubine Shu, but it is impossible to explain the boxes of imperial bestowments that were moved into the Hanxiang Palace. The imperial concubine has the right to rule the harem?

Not daring to speculate on the random emperor's mind, everyone in the harem just kept their heads down during that time, for fear of being offended and expelled if a mistake was made.

However, what made everyone even more dumbfounded was yet to come. After the full moon banquet, Concubine De claimed that she was ill and could not continue to command the harem, and she handed over all the rights in her hand, saying that she knew that she had made a mistake and could not share the worries of her majesty, but the meaning of each was palpable. .

The emperor did not stop him when he saw this, but rewarded him with a large amount of precious supplements and told him to take good rest, and then handed over the power of ruling the harem to the concubine Xian who had just been promoted.

So far the case of corruption of ink in Huainan has finally come to fruition, Xie Jiajing's vitality has been greatly damaged by this incident, but within a few months, the situation in the court and the harem has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The eldest prince fell from the hottest candidate for the heir apparent to the second-best choice, and the Yun family, who had always been quiet, became the biggest beneficiary of this turmoil, the high-ranking emperor.

Spring goes and autumn comes, time flies, and three years are fleeting.

Just after the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather has not yet warmed up, and the school grounds of Chongwen Museum are very lively.

The year before last, His Majesty specially granted the request of the owner of the Hongwen Museum, so that the royal family members and high-ranking officials who were studying in the Hongwen Museum could learn martial arts with the princes. Since then, the martial arts class in the afternoon every day has become a day. The busiest time.

Today was no exception. After the teacher announced that he could move around at will, a group of princes and grandchildren who were energetic and useless began to play around.

Lou Chen had no intention of joining in, so he led the horse to the edge of the racecourse, looking at Gao Yu who was teasing the horse, while thinking about the events of the past few days.

Lou Chen was concentrating on his thoughts and looking at it seriously, his dual-purpose was the ultimate, so he didn't hear the shout behind him.

When Gao Yu approached and the voice rang in his ears, Lou Chen came back to his senses, turned his head in a daze, blinked a little confusedly at Gao Yu who came out of nowhere, and asked : "Your Highness is calling for an officer?"

"If I'm not calling you, who are you calling?" Gao Yu's stature has grown a lot in the past three years, he is already at the same height as Lou Chen's eyebrows and eyes, and he finally doesn't need to look up at the person in front of him.

Lou Chen smiled apologetically when he heard the words, "Forgive me, Your Highness, I was a little distracted just now."

"Missed?" Gao Yu frowned slightly, and the boy's face with slightly elongated facial features was no longer pink and soft, but a little more fortitude and a little less femininity.

But the pair of peach blossom eyes that are born with affection are still very eye-catching. When smiling, the corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, just like a crescent moon. When not smiling, the eyes are full of autumn water and full of eyes.Although she still has some indistinguishable beauty when she is underage, the heroic spirit in her eyebrows and eyes can vaguely show a bit of handsomeness in the future, but the owner of these peach blossom eyes is not in a good mood at the moment...

Gao Yu took two steps forward and stood in front of Lou Chen, looked at the bright young man in front of him, and said angrily: "Why is Ah Chen distracted at this time, and didn't answer after calling you several times?"

"What else can it be? I miss my daughter-in-law." Gao Xian interjected in time, led the horse to Gao Yu's side, with the corner of his mouth curled up, and said mysteriously, "Brother Emperor, you don't know something. Zhijian is very leisurely these days. I also heard the day before yesterday that Lou Zhijian went to the "Shihua Pavilion" on South Street on Xiumu's day, and he reluctantly came out of it after Xushi passed. You said it was so leisurely Zizi, what else can I do if I don't want my wife?"

"Shihua Pavilion?" Although Gao Yu seldom went out of the palace, he had heard of the name "Shihua Pavilion".

The name "Shihuaguan" sounds elegant, but it is not a place to grow flowers and plants, but the most famous brothel in the capital.
