The world of rebirth

The strange thing is that Wen Zhen didn't come to my place at night. Ning Yunjin estimated that the scope of influence this time must be very wide, maybe more people fell into it than the one he remembered, so someone was so depressed that he stayed in the bedroom I'm worried.

Although he had his own hands and feet in it, he didn't see the list.Ning Yunjin was very curious, but he didn't want to be captured as an assassin by breaking into the Qianqing Palace at night, so he had to wash up and go to sleep.

The next day was the early morning meeting. When Wen Zhen finished speaking, "Play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do." Hong Xi, who was standing in the front row with the prince's clan, raised her head high, flapped her sleeves vigorously, and kowtowed. He fell to the ground, "Father, my son has something to play."

Wen Zhen nodded slightly, "Sure."

"Reporting to my father, my son, who was deeply favored by the emperor, went to Hunan and Hubei for unannounced visits as an imperial envoy, and unexpectedly discovered a shocking and important case of corruption and fraud."

Hong Xi clanked and spoke authentically, with an unspeakable seriousness on her small face, "After checking by my ministers, Huguang went up from the governor to the county magistrate as one, lied and re-reported the flood disaster situation, cheated the court of disaster relief money, embezzled water and conservancy repairs. Appropriate funds. There are even some people in certain places who changed the donations of the emperor's decree from grain collection to direct collection of silver to earn the difference. Their actions and their intentions are simply heinous crimes!"

Wen Zhen's face was livid, he naturally already knew the content of the excerpt, but when he heard about it, he couldn't help but get angry.He said coldly, "Since you have found out who committed the crime, then read out the name and let everyone know who these daring people are."

Hong Xi glanced at Hong Ming who was standing on his left with a puzzled expression, the meaning was self-evident.

Wen Zhen snorted and said, "Could it be that there is someone whose name cannot be mentioned?"

Hong Ming took a step forward calmly, and said loudly, "Father, I have something to play."

"Sure." Wen Zhen was rather curious about how he would respond.

Hong Ming took out a booklet from his sleeve and held it high above his head, and said in a clear voice, "Father, I thought that my brother felt embarrassed, because I was worried that it would involve the filial piety of Huo Quangui, the Governor of Huguang, to my son, so I dare not say anything. But this matter is a misunderstanding, please learn from my father."

Wen Zhen glanced at Li Deming, Li Deming immediately walked down the steps obediently, took the booklet, and handed it to Wen Zhen.He opened the booklet, glanced at the list on it, and couldn't help frowning.

"What is the use of the list in this booklet?"

Hong Ming said devoutly, "Reporting to my father, this is a nomination certificate handed in by people headed by Huo Quangui. There has always been a history of Huguang lying about the disaster situation. If you want to be an official there, there is nothing but collusion. However, they knew that they had violated the law of the country by doing so, and now they only wanted to make meritorious deeds, so they asked their ministers here. In addition to their self-declared crimes in this booklet, they also brought in the silver taels embezzled over the years to fill the national treasury."

"Where's the money?" Wen Zhen didn't know what was tricky, so he could only sigh that the people of Zuo Shi's family were really resourceful, and Hong Ming earned a good reputation by flipping his hands.

Hong Ming said loudly, "After all, it's thousands of miles away. Now there are only four carts of gold, silver and jewels transported to Beijing. My son has already asked the soldiers to carry them outside the hall."

"Come in, I'd like to see how much money they've been greedy over the years." Wen Zhen nodded, and said, "Li Deming, read the names on the booklet."

Li Deming took the book and read it aloud, "The Emperor's Holy Ann. My minister Hongming has a book of introductory notes.... Even though there are unworthy people in Huguang, they dare not abandon the emperor's favor to the world... "

After reading the previous long and redundant words, Li Deming cleared his throat and continued to read, "Today, there are Huo Quangui, Feng Shiqing... He Shaoming, a total of 35 people are willing to hand over the embezzled money to the court..."

While he was reading, a team of guards also carried more than ten large boxes into the hall.After the box was opened, there were six boxes of gold and silver melted into rice grains, three boxes of jewelry, and the rest were large pieces of antique jade ornaments, the bright reflections made people's eyes shine.

Everyone in the hall was attracted by those boxes, but Ning Yunjin's attention was on Hong Xi.When he was wearing the official uniform, he was only the fifth grade, but the position was just right where he could see the prince standing on duty.

When Ning Yunjin noticed that Hong Xi kept her head buried, and occasionally turned her head to pretend to look at the gold, silver and jewels, she would give Hong Ming a resentful look.Then he saw Hong Xi put the booklet in his hand back into his sleeve suddenly, his hand seemed to move in it, and then he took out the booklet again.

But with Ning Yunjin's eyesight, he can naturally see that the booklet in his hand is much thicker than the original one.His actions made Ning Yunjin's lips curl up, knowing that Hong Xi had finally taken the bait!Both sides cooperated with him so much, and he was a little embarrassed to be in the urn under the eyes of so many people—he thought he would just pass the booklet to Wenzhen quietly!

Wen Zhen nodded to Hongming after finishing looking at the gold, silver and jewels, and said, "I know everything you said. Is there anything else you want to play?"

"My son has finished playing." Hong Ming returned to the queue after finishing speaking.

Wen Zhen looked at Hong Xi again, even at this moment he had to sympathize with the child.He knew that the people on Hong Xi's list were only a dozen or so more than the ones in Hong Ming's newspaper, and when Hong Ming turned his hand into a cloud like this, he immediately lost the upper hand.

He didn't want to embarrass Hong Xi in front of civil and military officials, so he stepped forward and said, "Hong Xi, if it's not convenient for you to report the list in the morning, then you can come to Qianqing Palace to report later."

"No, father, there is nothing inconvenient for my son." Hong Xi said loudly, although Hong Ming made a move, but luckily he still had a back hand, and he wanted to win this round again in a dignified manner.He said, "It's just that the list in this brochure is a bit long, and I'm afraid I'll delay the time."

Wen Zhen felt a little strange, it stands to reason that Hong Xi should have no way to deal with it, how could she be so confident.He glanced at Li Deming, and when he got the brochure Li Deming handed over, his face darkened suddenly.

At this time, he really didn't know whether to say that the second son was stupid or what, but now he was on the verge of riding a tiger, so he could only throw the booklet to Li Deming, and said coldly, "Read."

The list on this brochure is astonishing. Li Deming read it for nearly 10 minutes, and there are more than 100 names alone, almost killing all the officials in Huguang.

Ning Yunjin smiled secretly, seeing Wen Zhen's anger and Anping Baichuan's anxiety in his eyes, one can imagine that many people will not be able to sleep tonight.

After the morning break, everyone looked worried.The officialdom is also a network of relationships. The same year, the same township, the same clan, teachers and students, many of them are related to relatives, so many people were exposed by Hong Xi at once, and there are always relatives and friends of these Beijing officials, which can protect nature. Just keep a few.

Ning Yunjin found out that Mr. Ge and the six ministers were all called to the South Study Room to discuss matters, and the discussion lasted all afternoon, and he did not see the Minister of Industry come back until Luoya.

It was night, Ning Yunjin took off his coat and was about to go to bed, but he heard knocking on the door outside.Since Wen Zhen came here often, no one was left around his bedroom to wait on him, so he had to get up and open the door by himself.

The person who knocked on the door was indeed Wen Zhen, Ning Yunjin noticed that his face was very ugly, and there was a trace of patient anger in his eyes.

"Why is it still closed today?"

Ning Yunjin led him into the room, and said with an innocent face, "Seeing that you haven't come so late, I thought you went to spoil some concubine."

"You clearly know that since I'm with you, I haven't turned over the sign again." Wen Zhen looked at him, holding tightly the cup of herbal tea that Ning Yunjin had just poured for him.

I don't know if it's his own illusion, but Ning Yunjin always felt that Wenzhen was pinching his neck with the cup.He guessed that Wenzhen probably guessed what he did in this matter, but he didn't know whether he was here to punish his teacher or seek justice for his son.

Wen Zhen didn't speak, so he sat obediently. After sitting for a while, Ning Yunjin felt bored, so he simply lit a few more candles, picked up a book, and flipped through it.

Seeing his leisurely and contented appearance, Wen Zhen was so depressed that he vomited blood, and the lover didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.He really has nothing to do with this person, he is reluctant to beat him, and he is even more reluctant to scold him, but he must give himself an explanation for this matter!

Finally he couldn't help breaking the silence, and asked in a deep voice, "Aren't you going to explain it to me?"

Ning Yunjin looked at him with round eyes, his face full of innocence.

Seeing this posture, Wenzhen didn't know what he was not saying, so this guy would keep playing dumb, "Did you ask Ning Yunpeng to give him Hongxi's other list?"

"Ah, you said that, that's right." Ning Yunjin nodded obediently.

Even with Wenzhen's concentration, he was so angry that he took a deep breath first, "Do you know that if Huguang's officials fold in [-] to [-]%, the yamen will collapse!? Do you know that you have to deal with such a situation all at once? With so many people, there will be a commotion that will cause panic among the entire court!?"

"So what? Is it possible that the imperial court will not be able to play without these corrupt officials? There are still so many people in the Imperial Academy waiting to fill the vacancies! Or are you only going to deal with those people reported by Hong Xi this time? "

Ning Yunjin frowned and said, "Give him the list of all the officials involved. Brother Yunpeng and I have only fulfilled the obligations of every citizen of Great Xia!"

As he said that, he deliberately paused, "Oh, there may still be a lot of fish that slipped through the net. After all, this is just what Ning Yunpeng has mastered during his stay in Huguang these years."

Wen Zhen was so vomited by him that with a little force from his hands, the cup burst open and the tea spilled on him.He held back his anger and said, "But do you know that this will make Hong Xi break the taboo in the officialdom, how do you want him to gain a foothold in the officialdom in the future!"

Throwing the broken teacup on the table, Wen Zhen looked at him angrily, "No, you naturally know about such things. But even if Hong Xi has some problems with you, is there any need to treat him like this?"

"After all, you are here to complain to your son, right?" Ning Yunjin also became angry, "I don't believe that you don't know what he has done. Besides, I just asked Brother Yunpeng to hand over the list to him. Whether to use it or not is still his own choice, so what does it have to do with me."

"I don't believe it." Wen Zhen looked into his eyes without blinking, "If it was someone else, I would believe that this was Hong Xi's own decision, but if it were you, I believe you have the ability to induce Hong Xi."

Ning Yunjin snorted coldly, "So what if I induced it! In the final analysis, it's not the second prince who wants this great achievement, he is eager for quick success, who is to blame."

His attitude made Wenzhen a little annoyed, "I said that no matter who spread the rumor, it won't make him feel better. Why don't you believe me!? The investigation of this matter has not yet yielded results. What was identified was done by Hong Xi."

Ning Yunjin felt that he was annoyed when he listened to "Zhen", as if reminding himself to be inferior to him all the time.Although I have a hand in this, it will have some influence on Hong Xi's official career and the hearts of all officials, but it is a good thing for the country and the people.

Otherwise, according to the practice of the officialdom, such a big group case will definitely only introduce a series of people as scapegoats in the end, and the rest will continue to be their officials with peace of mind.

Now that Hong Xi has exposed everyone, even if others think that he does not follow the rules and bites people like a mad dog, it is actually just the same as Hong Ming not doing things after receiving the gift, anyway these princes don’t need it A promotion, apart from losing part of your reputation, wouldn't have any real impact.

He didn't think he had done anything wrong, he stared at Wenzhen and said coldly, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and I have to go to the Yamen tomorrow! Do you think it's time to go back to Qianqing Palace to rest?" ?”

Ning Yunjin's cold and polite tone made Wenzhen feel uncomfortable all over, but at this moment he was also a little angry, so he simply brushed his sleeves, got up and left his room.
