Chapter 491: Prosperity will lead to decline

11days ago traverse Novels 7
A gift list leaked from Liu Shilang's mansion of the Ministry of Rites made the people of Kyoto watch a more lively event without spending money before the New Year Festival.

More than ten officials were investigated, specifically involving the Ministry of Works, Imperial College, Sinong Temple, Censorate, etc. The Ministry of Rites is a severely affected area. Including the doctor of the Ministry of Rites who were imprisoned for fraud cases, six senior officials of the Ministry of Rites, now only the Minister of Rites Tang Huai and the Doctor of the Temple Department Liu Jin

Although there are no details published in the newspapers of Tangrenzhai, in a few short sentences, countless undercurrents surge between the lines, even ordinary people can feel it.

Tang Ning got the news last night and arranged for the people from the Propaganda Department to type and print it overnight. Until this morning, they had not gotten off work.

Emperor Chen dealt with many people this time, and the Ministry of Rites was even more masturbated and Tang Huai was almost the only commander. The doctor of the Ministry of Food and the guest doctor was imprisoned. The Minister of the Assistant Liu Feng was demoted to two levels and demoted to another state. He was a state-owned leader. It would be difficult for him to come back in his life.

Emperor Chen's disposal to others was not expected by Tang Ning. Each of the seventh-rank officials had an annual salary of only 100 taels of silver, but they could often take out thousands of taels as gifts. For example, the wealthy families of the Tang family had strong capital and had relatives running family business outside. Those officials who should have been cleared could not explain where the money came from. It is not surprising that those who should have been demoted and those who should have dismissed should have been dismissed.

But Liu Feng is the Minister of Rites, and is a fourth-rank official at least. He just received some congratulatory gifts and did not embezzle and accept bribes like others. Such a punishment is abnormal

Although Liu Feng hates this person, he may be in a high position and is very vigilant and has no major stains. He has not even found Su Mèi, otherwise Tang Ning would have taken it out last time. Just because he received the gift, Chen Huang exiled him from Beijing. Most of his property was searched, and even Tang Ning felt that it was a bit heavy.

In addition, Emperor Chen also issued a law to clean up the unhealthy practices in the officialdom. Any court officials should not waste their lives or celebrate their birthdays and marry them.

If it weren't for the 700,000 taels of silver that was found from the Liu family, Tang Ning would almost believe that Emperor Chen really wanted to punish the officials and strictly investigate the officials' behavior of receiving gifts.

After this wave of official investigation, the court did not make any major moves. If there were no surprises, from now on to before New Year's Eve, the capital should be more peaceful.

After all, the North Korean bureau still needs to maintain stability. If you make such a few more troubles, I am afraid that the system that Chen State has finally established over the past decades will collapse.

Emperor Chen has always been neat and neat in his work, without delaying the situation. One wave of officials went down, and another wave of officials came up soon.

The Minister of Rites was temporarily appointed as the Hanlin Bachelor, and Liu Jin, the doctor of the Ministry of Shrine, was the only survivor among the four departments. His actions of being untainted and not being confined to other corrupt officials were recognized by many people and took over the position of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites.

Although the doctor of the Ministry of Rites and the doctor of the Ministry of Rites are of the same level, their status is very different. The Ministry of Rites is the head of the four departments of the Ministry of Rites. The position of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites has always been to prepare for serving as the Minister of Rites.

In a mansion in Beijing, Liu Jin, who had just been promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, came home when a woman came up and asked happily: Master, they said you have been promoted to the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, is that true?

fair sex

Liu Jin glanced at her and said: I said last time that Mr. Liu is doomed this time. If he gets close to him, he is looking for death. Look at the fate of the doctor of the Ministry of Food and the doctor of the guest. If I had listened to you, you would have been a living widow now.

It’s all my fault, it’s all my fault... The woman said with apologized look on her face: I am a woman. In the future, whatever the master says will be, I will never talk much... What the master wants to eat, I will make it for you...

Liu Jin looked at her with satisfaction, enjoying the majesty of the head of the family, straightened his chest, and said: Let’s have two pig elbows first. After so many days, I have been busy with weight...

……

Tang Family

As the end of the year approaches, there is a celebration elsewhere in the capital, but the Tang family is in bleakness. The officials who come to visit are all full of worries and are haggard.

These days, countless officials of the Duan Wang Group have a heart that dare not let go.

Liu Shilang and others from the Ministry of Rites, some were demoted and some were imprisoned. No one knew whether the next turn would be them.

At the court meeting in the past few days, King Kang pursued and fought hard against this matter. He was determined to take this opportunity to eliminate King Duan's wings. No one dared to guarantee whether they could walk out safely after entering the court.

King Kang is already preparing for joint impeachment. I am afraid that the court will propose it tomorrow. He really wants to kill us!

It’s all because of Mr. Liu. How could such an important thing be stolen by the thief!

What's the point of blaming him? Who knows that His Majesty will be so angry because of a gift list?

Lord Tang, what should I do? Ah...

……

Everyone surrounded Tang Qi and kept speaking. In addition to complaining about Liu Feng, they were looking for a solution to the problem.

If this matter is not resolved for a day, they will be unable to sleep and eat and not be able to sleep or eat

Tang Qi sent everyone out, walked out of the room, came to a wing room, looked at the middle-aged man, and asked: Mr. Xu, have you figured it out?

Mr. Xu stood up and said: Those who know the times are heroes. Since he is in the Tang family, Xu has no other choice.

Tang Qi's expression was a little slow and he said: Mr. Xu knows what happened recently, right?

Mr. Xu nodded and said: I've read the newspaper

Tang Qi said: King Kang took advantage of this and refused to give up. If he didn't do anything and let him do this, he would not be able to set foot in the Eastern Palace for a long time. At that time, it would not be a good thing for you and me. I wonder if Mr. Xu had any solutions to this?

Mr. Xu shook his head and said: It's too early

Tang Qi looked at him and asked: What's too early?

Lord Tang just said that King Kang would soon set foot in the Eastern Palace, which was too early

Mr. Xu said: Whether it is King Kang or King Duan, it is impossible to enter the Eastern Palace for a long time. This time may be one year or two years, or ten or twenty years, but it is definitely not now.

What does it mean? Tang Qi frowned and said: Mr. Xu, don’t go around in circles, just say, what should we do

Do nothing. Mr. Xu took a sip of tea and said: Just watch King Kang do it

Tang Qi looked at him with a slightly slight look on his face and said: Do nothing, are you waiting for King Kang to catch us all? Mr. Xu isn't he kidding?

Lord Tang doesn't understand King Kang

Mr. Xu looked at him and said: King Kang is a man who is brainless and stubborn. It would be fine if he doesn't do it, but he will make mistakes if he does it... What's more, you don't have to do anything at all. King Kang and King Duan are not yet determined to decide the outcome. Lord Tang only saw King Kang chasing you relentlessly. Didn't you see that Your Majesty did not adopt his opinion?

A person can be proud, but not too proud

Mr. Xu put down the teacup and continued: Your Majesty does not want to see the early outcome of the dispute between King Kang and King Duan. Before this, no matter what you do, it will be futile. Otherwise, after the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue helped King Duan embezzle the tax silver last time, King Duan had already defeated Lord Tang, who had lived in the court for a long time, and would not know how to check and balance.

After listening to his words, Tang Qi was silent for a long time, his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

He glanced at Mr. Xu and said: Mr. Xu's words, I will consider it. In the past few days, Mr. Xu will have a good rest here. If you have any needs, just ask the servants to do it.

He walked out of the room and soon came to another hall

Tang Huai was sitting on a chair, and there was a figure standing in the hall

Tang Qi walked in, looked at the young man, and asked: Are you undercover sent by King Kang?
