Chapter 385 Come on, hurt each other! The whole month(1/2)
The boy was wrong.
That's what Emperor Jinghe thought.
So he recovered a little, and then gritted his teeth: "Mother, my son will start a big killing this time, killing them so that they can make these bastards know that they are powerful, make them afraid, and make them innocent!!"
Where can the Queen Mother refuse?
She nodded repeatedly, "Yes! The Ai family supports the emperor, do whatever you want! They bully you, but they don't take you seriously. Our Liu family doesn't want such a rebellious minister!"
"well!"
After being encouraged by the empress dowager, Emperor Jing He sighed, "How easy is it to say that? The account books of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all burned in one night! Now there is no evidence of death! At most, I will kill three or two leaders, or those on duty! More will definitely be at large!"
"ah?!"
The Empress Dowager is not a person who doesn’t know what he knows, and she was stunned when she heard this.
All the books were burned?
This is really hard to deal with.
Huh?
Wait a minute!
Account book, account book...
The Empress Dowager suddenly felt her mind and turned around and said, "Ming Qi!"
"Sun Chen is here!"
"Did you hear what the emperor said just now?"
"I heard it."
"Do you understand what's going on?"
"It's roughly clear."
"Okay, you invented a new accounting method and have the talent of heaven on it. What can you do?"
With the conversation between the Queen Mother and Liu Mingqi, the shameless and angry Emperor Jing Hedi struggled to sit up.
He didn't know that Liu Mingqi was there just now.
He doesn't want to be too embarrassed in front of the younger generation.
Emperor Jing He glanced at the boy who bowed his head, coughed lightly and said, "Mingqi, these people are very abominable to dig into the foundation of my great health! If you have a way, you can say it, I will listen!"
Liu Mingqi was actually thinking about it just now.
Countering corruption has always been a various difficulties in human history.
Because all these people who can become corrupt are extremely smart, and they often commit crimes in gangs.
This means that they have become a solid interest group, and they can only break a hole unless they are the most powerful people and use the most powerful means.
Even this is the case, it cannot be said that the work can be completed.
Such a battle of wits and courage is even more thrilling than a battle on the battlefield.
Liu Mingqi asked in a deep thought: "Your Majesty, when I came in just now, I saw Master Nangong, Lord Wang and Lord Zhang kneeling. Are they unwilling to explain this?"
It would be fine if he didn't say it, but when he said it, Jing Hedi became furious. "What can they say? Nangong Ji said that he had been away from the Ministry of Revenue for more than ten years and was not very clear. Wang Feiteng, a idiot, was blocked by someone and dared not say anything, so he didn't know anything! Zhang Xiang was the most hateful. He was too greedy, but he just cried and shouted "death crime" and didn't say anything else... Humph, do you really think my knife is not sharp?"
Liu Mingqi said first: "Then your majesty, who do you think the three of them are not lying?"
Emperor Jing He asked the boy, "What do you think?"
"Please forgive me for taking the liberty." Liu Mingqi bowed and said, "I think all three of them are lying!"
“Be more specific.”
"yes!"
Liu Mingqi said, "The Ministry of Revenue has lost so much money, it is definitely not something that can be found overnight. Even before Nangong Prime Minister, maybe it will be... So Nangong Prime Minister must know a lot, and he is even a participant himself, but now he has been away for too long, so there is a reason to leave himself out. To put it bluntly, he is unwilling to offend others and wants to leave a way out for his descendants."
"Haha!" Jing Hedi sneered, "His descendants still have a way out? For example, Nangong Qiucheng, who is known as the richest young master in the capital, has endless money to use on weekdays?! I want to make him a beggar! And let Nangong Ji watch!!!"
The boy shrugged, and there was no doubt about the emperor's statement.
He also didn't doubt whether the emperor would do this.
An honest man will take action even if he is forced into an urgent situation.
He continued, "Mr. Wang Feiteng, he is almost the same. We don't say whether he was deceived specifically, but just say that his family is so rich, and we know that others have a lot of filial piety. If he is a little loyal and patriotic, he should pursue clues and report it to His Majesty!
However, he did not. What is the reason? It is very simple. He has been corrupted, completely greedy for enjoyment, and has a lucky mentality, so he seems to be mediocre on the surface.
He felt that as long as he didn't do those things, even if something happened, he would not be punished. So we can't say how involved Mr. Wang Feiteng is, but such stupidity and selfishness should never be done! It was a waste of His Majesty's trust in him!"
"right!"
Emperor Jing He very much agreed with Liu Mingqi's statement, his eyes were a little cold: "Wang Shaoyi... his heart is punishable!!"
Wang Feiteng is a minister of Emperor Jinghe's residence. It is precisely because of his trust in him that Emperor Jinghe placed him in such an important position as the Minister of Revenue.
Unexpectedly, not only did he not achieve any good results, but he was quickly attracted and corrupted and completely turned into a decoration, but he did not report the situation to the emperor.
This last point is what Emperor Jing He is most unbearable!
It’s no problem to be stupid, but if you don’t even have the minimum loyalty, only the superficial slut, but in fact you are digging my heels with others, don’t blame me for not being nostalgic for being in the past!
Liu Mingqi did not speak and said again: "I have nothing to say on Lord Zhang Xiang and Zhang. I beg your Majesty to investigate and publish his sins to the public, and then behead him to show his warnings to others!"
This is the first time that Liu Mingqi talks about beheading.
And he is also a second-rank official!!
At first glance, Emperor Jing He was a little uncomfortable, "Kill... Zhang Taoshan?"
"right!"
Liu Mingqi said firmly: "Even if other people make ten thousand mistakes, it is all matters in the world and is related to the whole world. Only Your Majesty, your Ministry of Internal Affairs belongs to you! To put it bluntly, Lord Zhang is your slave.
If other people dig out the entire corner of Da Kang Dynasty, that's fine! But Lord Zhang directly digs out your foundation, and it's so serious. If you don't kill him, the little minister is sure that the next Minister of Interior will definitely learn from him. Anyway, he is the most undeserved to die, what are you afraid of?"
Jing Hedi's face changed.
There are all kinds of colors.
But he had not made up his mind yet and just asked another question he was most concerned about: "Ming Qi, now the ministers are busy doing disaster relief, and the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs have been burned down. If there is no evidence, it will definitely not be a good idea.
But if you want to check the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not possible to do it in a short while. Do you have any good suggestions on this?"
Many of the group of accountants from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue were taught by Liu Mingqi personally, the duplex accounting method and uppercase and uppercase numbers.
So Jing Hedi actually hopes that Liu Mingqi can do something.
He did not forget that when Liu Mingqi first showed his calculation skills, no six eunuchs could compare to him.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mingqi laughed: "It's very simple... Your Majesty, we can just take the accountants of the User Department and the Office of the Internal Affairs."
Jing Hedi: "!?"
He looked bad. It’s time for you kid, and you are still joking?
Liu Mingqi immediately noticed it and quickly said, "I didn't talk nonsense, but let's change my seat... Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs check the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue, and let the Ministry of Revenue check the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue. The best ones will directly pardon the death penalty and allow them to go back to their hometown for a good meal. The worst ones will be beheaded."
"ah!!"
Jing Hedi exclaimed.
A surprise smile appeared on his face.
"Mire! Haha...Mire! Haha...Ahem..."
Too excited, Jing Hedi laughed and coughed, and the queen mother was so scared that she quickly patted his hand, "Emperor, Master, calm down!"
"Ahem cough cough..."
Jing Hedi coughed a few more times before he laughed and returned to normal, "Mom, I'm fine."
He signaled to Liu Mingqi and said, "Mingqi, your method is very good! We should use both kindness and power, let them bite the dog by themselves! But I still have one more problem."
"Please say it, Your Majesty."
"Their account books have been destroyed, so how can they check the accounts? Do you have to mobilize original bills from local governments and governments?" Jing Hedi frowned and said, "That would be too tedious, right? Time will also be a lot of money."
Not to mention anything else, it will take at least one or two months to deliver bills from Jinzhou City and Jiayuguan, two border areas east and west.
It is more normal to be complicated. A bill of three to five years can be exhausted, let alone a decade or twenty years.
Liu Mingqi still had a way to deal with it, "This is not difficult! These scheming officials are already hard-pressed. As long as anyone has privately kept those books of different categories before, you will reduce them a little guilt. At most, it will not only eliminate all sins, but also hide them in the mountains and valleys of Xikang and keep them peaceful for a lifetime."
Jing Hedi nodded, "If there is not one, then... kill?"
"right."
Liu Mingqi agreed, "It won't work without some bloody means."
"What if they all said there was no?" Jing Hedi asked again.
"Then please ask them to try my interrogation method again!" Liu Mingqi said without hesitation, "Even a strong man like Yang Tao can't bear it, let alone them."
To be continued...
