Xiao Jue stared at Tang Ning with wide eyes and asked: Have you known about Han Ming for a long time?
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not a kitten or a puppy. Among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Personnel's real power is comparable to that of the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was arrested, which is a huge matter for the entire court.
I don't know Ah Tang Ning shook his head. He didn't want to take this matter to himself, so he naturally wouldn't admit it.
Xiao Jue didn't believe it: Then why didn't you send the gift?
Tang Ning said helplessly: I took a leave of absence. I originally planned to go to the Ministry of Revenue in a few days, but now it seems that there is no need.
At this time, I have to give Han Ming a gift unless King Kang is stupid
I don’t know what King Kang was thinking in his heart when he learned this news. Han Ming embezzled millions of taels of silver in the treasury, but others avoided it, but he insisted on putting it on...
Qing'er jumped in from outside the door and said: "Son-in-law, there is a man named Kang outside looking for you."
Tang Ning asked in confusion: Whoever is surnamed Kang?
Qing'er thought for a while and said: What is his name King Kang...
Unexpectedly, King Kang was so unhappy and came in person, which surprised Tang Ning. If he thought about it carefully, he felt normal again.
No matter how proud King Kang is recently, if he is involved in this case, even if he is the prince, he will lose his skin even if he does not die.
If Emperor Chen was determined to punish him severely, cut him off his title of prince and drove him out of the capital, the court officials would not have any objection.
As for the powerful officials behind King Kang, the outcome will definitely be even worse.
When he was greeting him, King Kang was walking in the front hall, his face full of burning. When he saw Tang Ning coming in, he hurriedly said: I ordered you to give Han Ming a great gift, have you given it?
Not yet Tang Ning shook his head and said: I have been feeling a little uncomfortable recently. I have been taking leave at home and I haven't been in a hurry to send it to you yet
It's good if not, it's good if not...
King Kang breathed a sigh of relief, the big stone in his heart finally landed on the ground, and he collapsed on the chair
I am really sorry for delaying Your Highness's affairs. Tang Ning looked at him apologetically and said: If Your Highness is anxious, I will send you there immediately...
Don't! King Kang bounced up from the chair and said: No need to give it, no need to give it...
He finally escaped the disaster. If this gift was given, he would not even imagine what consequences he would bear if he had to bear.
After breathing a sigh of relief, when he looked at Tang Ning, he couldn't help but smile and said: Lord Tang, you are really my lucky star...
Your Highness praised him. Tang Ning said politely, thought for a while, and continued: Since you don’t need to give this gift, your Highness will take the gift back.
King Kang waved his hand and said: No need, Lord Tang is not in good health, these gifts are my condolences. Lord Tang must take care of his body earlier...
Tang Ning said: Such an expensive gift, isn't that good...
King Kang waved his hand and said: Oh, there is no gift for taking back what I gave me. Lord Tang should not refuse.
Although he felt sorry for money, he also knew that if it weren't for Tang Ning's illness, he would have been taken away by Zongzheng Temple now. After entering Zongzheng Temple, even if he was the prince, he would have to suffer a lot.
King Kang was unable to refuse, Tang Ning refused, so he nodded and said: Then thank Your Highness.
No need to thank King Kang stood up, waved his hand, and said: Lord Tang is well recuperating, I am leaving...
Your Highness walks slowly...
King Kang is a person who is very considerate of etiquette. Tang Ning received this gift with peace of mind. After all, even King Kang himself didn't know how much damage would be for King Duan. A heavy gift would be for the Minister of Revenue. He would definitely not lose this wave.
Many of the things that King Kang gave were not available to Tang Ning himself. He walked into the inner house, waved and said: "Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Xiaoshu, Jiuer, and Qing'er, don't stand stupidly, come and pick gifts for you...
……
Royal Palace
The Minister of Justice, Minister of the Dali Temple, and Censor-in-Chief, were jointly responsible. The interrogation of Han Ming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had ended. No punishment was used during this period. Han Ming confessed to the embezzlement of tax and silver. The case progressed very smoothly. In less than half an hour, the interrogation was over.
A eunuch walked up and whispered to the censor. The censor nodded and said: Your Majesty has an order to take the criminal Han Ming to Chongming Palace.
He glanced at Han Ming, who was wearing a white prison suit and was radiating with disheveled hair, with complex eyes and sighed a long time
The Minister of Justice looked at him, shook his head, and said: How could the former Imperial Secretary Han, who was not afraid of power and would rather die than surrender, fall into such a situation...
The Minister of Justice also sighed and said regretfully: I still don’t believe it. Han Ming will do corruption and a good minister of his generation. It’s a pity, a pity...
In the imperial study room, Chen Huang stood in the middle of the hall with a little depressed expression
Ling Yun stood a few steps away and bowed and said: Your Majesty, I have led people to instigate all six masters and servants of the Han family, except for Han Ming, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to the Ministry of Justice, and have taken Han Ming to Chongming Hall according to His Majesty's instructions.
Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: Han Mingguan was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so there are only six masters and servants in the family?
Ling Yun nodded and said: Han Ming has a wife and a daughter, an old servant, a cook, and two servants, only six people
Emperor Chen looked at him and asked: Have you found the stolen silver in the Han family?
Ling Yun said: Go back to Your Majesty, you have found 63 taels and 7 coins of silver in the Han family. Apart from a jade belt given by Your Majesty in the early years, there is nothing else.
Emperor Chen frowned and asked: Han Ming embezzled more than 2.3 million taels of taxes in the past few years. His annual salary was converted into silver, which was as many as hundreds of taels. Why did the family have only such a little money, where did the more than 2 million taels go?
Ling Yun bowed and said: Weichen has already searched the entire Han family, but he has not found a place to hide silver. Han Ming lives with the poor people in the North District. According to his neighbors, the Han family lives in a simple life on weekdays, and often takes out silver porridge and gives gifts to beggars...
Emperor Chen was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: Go to Chongming Palace
In Chongming Hall, Han Ming knelt on the ground, heard footsteps coming from behind, looked up, knocked his head heavily on the ground, and said: Han Ming, the criminal, kowtowed to Your Majesty
Chen Huang stood in front of him, looked at him, and asked slowly: Do you remember how you became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?
Han Ming lowered his head, blood flowed down his forehead, but he was speechless
You don't remember, I remember
Emperor Chen looked at him and said calmly: Eleven years ago, you were just a censor. The treacherous minister Cai Cheng was powerful and blinded the heavens to listen. He did many evil things that were angry and resentful. The officials in the court took his power and majesty and dared not speak out. Only you, Han Ming, is not afraid of power, regardless of life and death, speaks straightforwardly, lists twenty-eight crimes of Cai Cheng, hits a wall in the golden palace, and directly advises him for death...
Six street assassinations, you don't frown
The only legitimate son of the Han family died under the revenge of Cai Zhe, you did not retreat
They tied up your elderly mother and forced you to submit. Your mother will show her ambitions by death and will not be a burden to you...
……
With your own strength, you will defeat the treacherous minister. I will promote you to the Minister of Revenue. I hope you can serve the country... Emperor Chen looked at him with a sad face and said in a deep voice: Han Aiqing, my Han Aiqing, tell me, what have you done over the years!
The guilty minister is sorry to Your Majesty and the court!
Han Ming's voice was hoarse, he leaned over again, knocking his head to the ground hard
one time
Two
Three times
……
His forehead was already covered in blood, but he still kept slamming
Eleven years ago, I owe you two lives to the Han family. Emperor Chen sighed and looked at him and said: Today, I will give you six more
Emperor Chen looked at him and said slowly: But I must also give the people and the court an explanation.
Han Ming fell to the ground and said loudly: Thank you Your Majesty
A eunuch walked forward, took out a wine glass from the jade plate, and handed it to Han Ming.
Han Ming took it with both hands, looked at Emperor Chen at the last time, and said with a smile: If there is a next life, Han Ming will be willing to be His Majesty's minister.
He put down his wine glass, knelt upright, and bowed respectfully to Emperor Chen, but this time, after he lowered his head, he never got up again
A moment later, the Minister of Justice looked at a piece of white cloth in Chongming Hall, raised his head and said: Your Majesty, Minister Han died like this, the person behind him...
Chen Huang waved his hand and said: Since Han Ming has pleaded guilty, the case will end here. All officials involved will be severely punished.
The Minister of Justice bowed and said: I will follow the order
After the Minister of Justice withdrew from the main hall, Emperor Chen took a deep breath and said: King Xuanduan entered the palace
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not a kitten or a puppy. Among the six ministries, only the Ministry of Personnel's real power is comparable to that of the Ministry of Revenue. The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was arrested, which is a huge matter for the entire court.
