"Is Qin Hao crazy?" Qin Shi frowned.

No one in the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty knew that He Xingjian, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, belonged to him. Once the private salt case came out, almost half of the court was dragged into the water. Could it be that Qin Hao was not afraid that all civil and military officials would hate him and threaten him? To his heir apparent?

——In fact, everyone is very clear in their hearts that the private salt case is too involved, and it is unlikely that the Emperor of Heaven will start killing people, it just depends on who he wants to attack.

The Tianming Emperor who had calmed down looked at the account book in his hand unhurriedly. When he heard Qin Shi's words, he had a flash of inspiration, and raised his head and asked, "Has the prince made any changes recently?"

"A change? It seems to be the same as usual." Qin Shi thought for a while: "By the way, the news from Longwei said that Qin Hao has been out of the palace quite a lot recently."

"Go out of the palace often?" Emperor Tianming obviously realized something: "Cha——"

However, in just three days, the news of the frequent transfer of guards from the aristocratic family reached the imperial table of Emperor Tianming.

Qin Shi exclaimed: "Could it be that Qin Hao wants to rebel?"

Yes, this can explain why Qin Hao made such a big fuss, he wanted to divert their attention, and then fish in troubled waters.

"Father, what should we do now?"

Emperor Tianming was silent for a long time. Although he had expected this day long ago, when he remembered the scene when the crown prince blocked the sword for him, his mood was indescribably complicated.

He originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to make the prince completely give up on him, and then he would arouse the heart of treason.But he thought that without his knowledge, the other party had already started to act.

It can only be said that the prince is more decisive than he imagined.

It's just that he wasn't a good father in the first place, so naturally he couldn't expect the prince to remain loyal and filial forever.

Emperor Tianming withdrew his thoughts and analyzed calmly: "If it was me, I would definitely choose to do it at the New Year's feast."

Because the princes and ministers gathered in the Hall of Supreme Harmony that day, it was the best time to catch them all.

"Father, the family is powerful, and my son is a little worried." Qin Shi couldn't help but said.

In the original plot, in order to pull the eldest prince Qin Yu off the horse, the aristocratic family had already lost their troops. Later, the Emperor Tianming turned to support the fifth prince and the prince to fight in the arena, and then pointed out the daughter of the Xie family to the fifth prince as a side concubine. The power of the aristocratic family is divided into two, and when the prince completely defeats the fifth prince, the aristocratic family will no longer have the glory of the past.

It was precisely because of this that when the prince conspired against him, the Emperor Tianming could easily deal with him.

It's different now, the power of the aristocratic family that has not been weakened again and again, even the Emperor Tianming is jealous.

As if thinking of something, Emperor Tianming's eyes fell on the few account books beside him.

He said in a deep voice: "So at this time, Xungui should not be allowed to get involved."

He is afraid, afraid that there will be too many variables and he will lose control.

As for the prince, it is not impossible to operate.

After a hearty battle, Meng Zezhi dragged his brother out of the house, and said in a tone full of gluttony: "Sooner or later, the orphan will die on the editor."

Xie Jianze's eyes were flushed, and his heart was both happy and sad.

There won't be such a day.

Xie Jianze tried to divert his attention to suppress the sourness in his heart: "Your Highness, Guan Xingyu, the governor of Sidu Yu, finally let go."

Dianqiansi is one of the three yamen of the Forbidden Army, responsible for palace defense, guarding the emperor, and executing rewards and punishments decrees issued by the emperor.

Guan Xing is the eldest son of the Marquis of Jining. He is only in his early 30s this year. Originally, he was not qualified enough, but because of the assassination case in the paddock in Xuchang, all the officials in charge of guarding the paddock were convicted. They were dismissed, ransacked their homes, or exiled. , coupled with the fact that his biological mother had a slight relationship with Emperor Tianming, he just jumped three steps in a row to sit in the position of Sidu Yuhou in front of the palace, holding 2 horses in his hand.

If he was the internal response in the palace, the chances of success would be much greater.

"What does he want?" Meng Zezhi had to cheer up.

Since he decided to rebel, the aristocratic family quickly became active, but in just half a month, they brought in nearly [-] soldiers and horses for him.

"The title of Marquis of Jining." Xie Jianze said.

Guan Xingyu's biological mother died young, and now his stepmother is in charge of the Jining Hou's mansion. His stepmother gave birth to a pair of twin daughters for Jining Hou when he entered the house.Then she found Guan Xingyu disliked in every possible way. As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. Guan Xingyu suffered a lot when he was young, and even his reputation was ruined by his stepmother.

Later, Guan Xingyu joined the army. One year, the enemy invaded the border and attacked the town where he was stationed. Although he escaped by chance, he lost contact with the court for a time.

After the news reached his stepmother's ears, his stepmother instigated Marquis Jining to ask for a son for her son on the pretext that he had already died in battle.

When Guan Xingyu came back from his illustrious military exploits, the position of son had already fallen to his younger brother.

Although Emperor Tianming loves talents, after all, this is the family affairs of the Marquis of Jining, and it is not good for him to interfere too much.

So it's not surprising why Guan Xingyu made such a request.

"Well, it's a lonely answer."

Xie Jianze continued: "And..."

Meng Zezhi lowered his head and kissed the corner of his mouth, and then looked at him tightly: "I have to come out for a while, are you sure the editor will keep talking to Gu?"

His meaning couldn't be more obvious, Xie Jianze's breath became short, and as his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the neck of the person on his body.

A month later, the case of donating prisons in Shaanxi and the case of salt merchants in Huaihe River and Huaihe River were closed one after another.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Pei Zhongyue, the deputy capital of the right, who went to Shaanxi, verified the situation that Zuo Cheng, the chief envoy of Shaanxi, announced that Cheng Yuanzhong, the envoy, ordered the supervision of food to be donated to silver and false sales of food relief, etc., and copied the facts from his home. More than one million taels of silver and a large number of jewelry, jade and silk.

In this case, a total of more than 13 people from the chief envoy to the prefecture and county officials were found to have embezzled more than [-] million taels of stolen silver.After the case was closed, Zuo Cheng announced that the political envoy Cheng Yuanzhong would be executed, and the rest of the Yi tribes would be exiled for three thousand miles. He Xing inspected the concubine's brother, and the rest were spared from death and betrothed.

Compared with the vigorous and decisive action of the imperial court against the case of donating prisons and impersonating relief in Shaanxi, the case of private salt in the Lianghuai River and Huaihe River was much more peaceful and drizzle.

All the illegal salt merchants in Lianghuai were arrested. The Ministry of Finance confiscated more than [-] million taels of silver and more than [-] taels of gold from these salt merchants. Yu Daqian's two years of income from the treasury.

After the case was closed, the three tribes of Fan Jiayi, the leader of the salt merchants, and the males of the nine clans were exiled for thousands of miles, and the female relatives were sent to the Jiaofang Division.

They transferred more than [-] officials from the Salt Envoy Division and the major salt fields, and the chief officials were killed, and the rest were either ransacked, exiled, or dismissed.

Zhao Guogong, an official in the court, was sentenced to death for accepting as much as 50 taels of bribes from salt merchants, and his family members were spared death.

However, in just half a year, three of the founding princes fell in, and the influence of the First Prince's Party in the Imperial Army was completely eradicated by the Emperor Tianming.

The Minister of the Household Department and the left and right ministers were dereliction of duty and accepted huge bribes, following in the footsteps of Cheng Yuanzhong, the political envoy of Shaanxi Zuo Cheng.

The rest of them were demoted three levels in a row, and at the same time Emperor Tianming ordered them to return all the bribe money they had collected to the Ministry of Accounts within half a month, otherwise they would be dealt with severely according to law.

But how could they have so much cash in their hands at the moment? In desperation, they could only mortgage their land, jewelry and jade.

All of a sudden, pawn shops of all sizes on the streets were crowded with pawnbrokers, and the price of gold fell from the original 12 taels of silver to one tael of gold to [-] taels of silver to one tael of gold.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Meng Zezhi got a lot of good things, including three from Wenquan Zhuangzi alone.

Unexpectedly, in the end, the money collected by the household department was more than half of what was recorded in the account book, and Tian Ming was so angry that he didn't look good for several days.

Because of his meritorious service in reporting, He Xingjian, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, not only was not implicated by his concubine brother, but was promoted two ranks to become the newly released Minister of the Ministry of Households.

It's just that it's unknown how many people secretly want to eat their flesh and sleep their skin.

Throughout December, the sky in Beijing is red.

And then, New Year's Eve came.
