Chapter 963 962 [Mistress]

Liu Xian thought a lot.

Until he left Qinyuan, when night fell and the morning sun rose, and even when he entered the palace to attend the court meeting a few days later, the words Pei Yue said were still echoing in his mind.

He knew that Pei Yue was not only expressing his feelings, but also observing him, the prince who was very likely to become the crown prince. But even he was surprised that he did not resent this kind of temptation. Just because Pei Yue proposed it

The proposition had already stood at a very high angle, leaving him no time to think about those silly things.

If we compare the four seasons to life, he has just arrived at the turn of spring and summer, which is a great time to hit the waves.

Standing in the majestic Chengtian Hall, Liu Xian exhaled a breath of turbidity imperceptibly, and his eyes gradually became firm.

At this moment, he heard a strong voice from behind.

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhongshan sold some of his properties a few days ago. Rich businessmen from all over the world flocked to the sale. It is said that the final transaction price was as high as more than eight million taels."

Liu Xian turned around and saw a young Shi Yushi. After recalling for a while, he remembered that this person's name was Ouyang Jing, and he was a protégé of Han Gongduan, who was participating in the politics of the Dongfu and was presiding over negotiations in the south.

Today is the New Year's Day, so most of the officials from the capital are present.

According to his past style, it is not unusual to use the sale of property under his name as a tactic. It is also easy to find out the details of the people around the second prince. Bringing this matter to the court meeting seems to be a fatal blow to the second prince.

It's just that this matter is so bizarre that it's hard to believe that someone would have the courage to use the court's money to openly benefit themselves.

Emperor Kaiping remained silent, his slender eyes scanning His Highness's important ministers.

Ouyang Jing seemed to feel the emperor's regard for him, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty, after excluding a lot of useless information, I found that one of the wealthy businessmen not only purchased ten branches of Xiangyun Hao, but also bought 10% of Qinyuan in Kyoto.

He pocketed half of the shares, spending a total of more than 1.9 million taels of silver. What is surprising is that this wealthy businessman is actually related to Zhulou."

As a disciple of Han Gongduan, Ouyang Jing's reputation in the court over the years has been quite good. His past impeachments were all justified. In just two years, he brought down a minister and three people of sixth grade or above.

official, so him standing up at this moment did not cause much commotion. However, after listening to his statement, even Emperor Kaiping above looked puzzled.

He did not ask Ouyang Jing how he knew about the relationship between the businessman and Zhulou. In fact, most people in the palace didn't care, because Ouyang Jing made it clear before that he got the list and information from Pei Yue.

The second prince in front of him was not as emotional as usual and maintained a completely different calm state.

In the martial arts class train on the right, Wang Pingzhang, who was standing first behind the three adult princes, remained unmoved. Despite the rising noise behind him, he still looked down at the gold brick floor under his feet, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Complex look.

Emperor Kaiping said noncommittally: "Has any useful information been found?"

It is difficult to be clean in the officialdom, but it is also a way to gain some benefits secretly, especially after Sun Dacheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was executed a few years ago, the behavior of stealing and selling the grain stored in the Ministry of Revenue has almost disappeared.

Although Pei Yue is a martial artist, his past deeds show that he is not a rude and superficial person. Instead, he can be said to be deep and thoughtful. However, today's impeachment is too absurd and ridiculous.

The Shuowang Dynasty is an occasion for discussing national affairs. Not to mention that Pei Yue's initiative to sell off his properties this time made Emperor Kaiping very satisfied. The key point is that this is just an extremely ordinary private businessman's move. Did he want to make trouble and use this to criticize Pei Yue?

Ouyang Jing was a disciple of Han Gongduan, and his appearance was extremely upright. In addition, his attention to detail in appearance was very similar to that of Luo Ting in his youth. Emperor Kaiping couldn't help but admire him, so his attitude was gentler than usual.

With Pei Yue's current strength and connections in Kyoto, it is really not difficult to find out the details of those businessmen.

Regardless of whether they are high-ranking officials or seventh-grade officials, it is difficult for them to feel close to the special group of censors. It would be fine if they meet the kind of reasonable supervisory censors, but if they really mess with them, they will not care about one way or the other.

It's so dark that no one can escape easily unless Emperor Kaiping on the dragon throne pulls his weight.

Once the words are spoken, it is like a huge boulder thrown into a flat lake, causing thousands of waves.

Ouyang Jing's accusations seemed ridiculous, but when the battle for the crown prince entered a critical stage and the two sides began to fight hand-to-hand, his impeachment quickly attracted the attention of some interested people.

"I obey the decree."

After three hours of tense and busy discussions, most of the people finally took a breath and waited for the eunuch standing next to the royal steps to announce the end of the court meeting, and then went home to let the maids pinch their tired hands.

leg.

Emperor Kaiping calmly glanced at Pei Yue behind Wang Pingzhang, then looked back at Ouyang Jing and said, "Tell me in detail."

Emperor Kaiping's eyes were filled with coldness, and he said calmly: "Ouyang Yushi, let's make a long story short."

Even if the second prince is hopelessly stupid, even if Xue Ji is crazy and desperate, how can the Ministry of Works get nearly two million taels of silver for the second prince to embezzle?

Maybe that situation will reappear in a few years, but at least the officials standing in the court now still remember that Sun Dacheng's family was confiscated and his family was exterminated. The men were beheaded and the women were sold into slavery. Only in this way can the emperor's anger be barely appeased.

You only need to take a look at the second prince Liu Yun, who was still standing calmly after Ouyang Jing said the word "bamboo house", and you will know who can be fooled by such a situation that can be seen through at a glance?

Ouyang Jing bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have tried my best to visit and investigate in the past few days, and after expressing my intention to come, I obtained the cooperation of the Marquis of Zhongshan and obtained the list of all buyers and the final transaction price from him. Of course, I must report to Your Majesty

It means that this information has been made public to begin with, and Marquis Zhongshan’s move does not violate the rules, it is just for the convenience of the minister."

Seeing Ouyang Jing suddenly standing up in a brand new official uniform without any wrinkles, some people couldn't help but frown slightly.

Ouyang Jing, who was twenty-four years old, bowed and said calmly, "What Marquis Zhongshan did was in compliance with the law, and officials from the Ministry of Revenue were present to supervise the whole process. There was no fault in the entire process. It was only after the transaction was completed that

After that, there were rumors that some of the wealthy businessmen who purchased the properties of the Marquis of Zhongshan actually used the imperial court’s money to purchase properties for themselves.”

However……

Many people couldn't help but look at Pei Yue, with surprise in their eyes.

There was no noise in the main hall, but instead fell into a strange dullness.

Such a plan is almost a joke.

Although this was not enough to surprise the princes in the court, they still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

It seems that the invincible Pei Yue was blinded by the gains during this period, and then made such a substandard plan.

The second prince, Liu Yun, the leader of the Wu Xun class, finally couldn't help the pride that gradually surged in his chest, and the corner of his mouth curled into a sneer.
