Your Highness forgot that the man was petty and vengeful, otherwise why did he test the power for no reason...
King Kang could no longer hear clearly what the servants of the royal palace were saying. The Minister of Works was his person. Few people knew about this. The military equipment created by the Ministry of Works was not worth much, but the power equipment used by the Ministry of War was also built by the Ministry of Works, and there would be no omissions at all. If the Minister of Works was watching, who would investigate this without any trouble?
Most of the money deducted by the Ministry of Works has been put into his bank treasury. If this matter is investigated, it will be found on his head sooner or later.
This is not what he is most worried about
What he was worried about was the matter of the salt farm and mine. Since Chen founded the country, he has been a specialty in salt and iron. All those who can do salt and iron business have official backgrounds. Following the salt merchants, they found some of the powerful people in Beijing. Going up, it was Kang's Mansion...
Even if he is a prince, he cannot bear the consequences
King Kang suddenly felt a little regretful. Maybe he shouldn't have bumped into that moment on the lake in Tianranju that day...
……
Cui Min, the Minister of Works, is from King Kang.
Behind the major salt merchants involved were some powerful people in Beijing, and behind these powerful people, King Kang was also supporting him.
Looking at the information from the Ministry of Revenue and the information that Su Mèi brought to him from Tianranju, Tang Ning could swear with his conscience that he was definitely not targeting King Kang, nor was he avenging his private revenge.
King Kang just instructed his subordinates to hit his ship. How big a thing is, how could he kill King Kang because of this matter...
Of course, King Kang is the prince after all, and it is a serious crime to lose his head on others. If he puts it on him, he will definitely not die, but for him, it is almost the same as death.
As a prince, interfering in the salt and iron policy has touched the bottom line of Emperor Chen and the court. His behavior is even more serious than that of King Duan embezzling taxes and silver. Emperor Chen's disposal of King Kang will not be too light.
Even whether he can still maintain the position of the prince depends on whether Emperor Chen is concerned about the father and son, and the sentence is lightly sentenced at his discretion.
Speaking of which, if King Kang was really dealt with, wouldn’t he indirectly help King Duan?
Tang Ning shook his head. Even if he had helped King Duan accidentally, there was nothing he could do. Who knew that King Kang was so brave that he even dared to interfere in the arms and salt administration...
In the imperial study room
Emperor Chen looked at the Minister of Revenue and asked: Have the fines that the salt merchants have to pay, have they calculated?
The Minister of Revenue bowed: Go back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has calculated the general number. According to the Ministry of Works’ abilities, the tax and silver that salt merchants in various places have to pay this time will probably exceed 10 million taels...
Emperor Chen stood up and asked in disbelief: Ten million taels?
The Minister of Revenue looked up and thought that His Majesty was frightened by this number. He was moved to the idea of receiving it from the inner government. He immediately said: Your Majesty, the national treasury has frequently allocated silver in recent days. If it is not supplemented, it is probably impossible to maintain the daily operation of the court. This time it will take at least five million taels...
Emperor Chen has also seen 100 million taels of silver, so he will naturally not be scared by 10 million taels.
It’s not that he thinks that the money is too much, but that the Ministry of Revenue does not dare to fake the numbers, because his own expectations are too high
After all, Tang Ning brought him a billion taels of silver from Jiangnan a few days ago. This ten million taels can no longer cause much turmoil in his heart.
The total investments of the imperial court on salt and iron every year were only a few million taels. After comparison, Emperor Chen deeply realized how big the gift Tang Ning brought him from Jiangnan was.
He looked at the nervous Minister of Revenue, waved his hand and said: OK, OK, all these tens of millions of taels will be given to you...
The Minister of Revenue looked at Emperor Chen and was stunned for a moment, not very confident in his ears.
His throat moved and asked tentatively: Your Majesty means, these tens of millions of taels...
All of them are put in the treasury. Emperor Chen glanced at him and said: Do I look like an emperor who is greedy for the treasury money?
The Minister of Revenue then came to his senses and bowed: Your Majesty is wise...
Emperor Chen no longer asked about silver. He looked at the Minister of Revenue and said: Give those salt merchants the courage to touch the salt and iron. Who is supporting them in Beijing?
The Minister of Revenue raised his head, pursed his lips, and after a moment, he mustered up the courage and said: Go back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Works' case this time is probably unrelated to His Highness Kang...
Emperor Chen frowned and said in a deep voice: What?
The Minister of Revenue said: The backers behind those salt merchants are some powerful people in the capital, and behind these powerful people is His Highness Kang who is supporting him...
Emperor Chen's face was as deep as water and said in a sequel: This bastard!
……
Tang Ning, acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, exposed the officials of the Ministry of Works to fill their personal pockets, colluded with officials and businessmen, and stole national benefits, and spread throughout the capital in a very short period of time.
This is almost the most serious corruption case that has occurred in the capital and even in Chen State in recent years.
The broom star is still a broom star, and its power cannot be underestimated. After only a few days in the Ministry of Works, the entire Ministry of Works lost the entire Ministry of Works, causing everyone to be in danger. The Minister of Works was even fined and suspended for his poor imperial tutors. If the case was investigated and related to him, the position of the Minister of Works would not be stable.
Of course, the people in the capital applauded when they heard this news. The fewer corrupt officials in the court, the happier they were.
The doctor of the Ministry of Works, Yuanwailang and others have been arrested and imprisoned, and the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works has also been recalled to the capital to question. Not only that, His Majesty is willing to catch all the officials related to this matter in one go, and several officials in the court have been investigated one after another.
At the same time, there were also some rumors that seemed true or false, spreading among the people.
It is said that the doctor of the Ministry of Works deducted the arms and allocated silver, and a large part of it was handed over to King Kang. The salt merchants, the backer of the capital, were also King Kang. The culprit of the Ministry of Works' case this time was in the King Kang's mansion.
These news was just rumors at first, but after someone investigated it, he was shocked to find that the two cases of the Ministry of Works were pointed directly at King Kang. Even if it was not his actions, it would be unrelated to him.
There are also rumors that the reason why King Kang was investigated this time was because he offended Tang Ning, the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Works a few days ago. This time, the incident was the revenge of the slightest broom star.
Someone saw it with his own eyes that a few days ago, on the lake where the capital was naturally lived, King Kang ordered people to deliberately hit Tangning's cruise ship. The narrow-minded Lord Tang did not retaliate at that time, but a few days later, he gave King Kang a pot to remove the firewood...
The small lake in Tianran is excavated manually and is not very large. Every year, when the season is appropriate, it is a good place for many great officials and nobles in Beijing to visit. With more cruise ships, it is inevitable that they will bump into each other.
If you touch someone else's boat on weekdays, you can only accompany someone or pay some money.
This time, King Kang is probably the most serious consequence of the natural residence on the lake in history.
This collision will surely be recorded in history
He withheld the arms and silver and interfered with the law of salt and iron. Even the prince could not be exempted from punishment. What's more, King Duan, who was always staring at him, would never miss this opportunity. His collision on Tianranju Lake may have knocked his way to the throne of the stock market.
Regarding this historical event that was enough to change the court, there was a song in the market saying: There are thousands of waterways, the first is safety, the boat is not standardized, and the throne is not half...
King Kang could no longer hear clearly what the servants of the royal palace were saying. The Minister of Works was his person. Few people knew about this. The military equipment created by the Ministry of Works was not worth much, but the power equipment used by the Ministry of War was also built by the Ministry of Works, and there would be no omissions at all.
