Invincible son

Chapter 969 968 [Life Participation Quotient]

Kyoto, Imperial City, inside Chengtian Palace.

Interested people finally found something wrong, that is, after Ouyang Jing launched the impeachment, Luo Ting, the head of civil servants, remained silent, which seemed not in line with his usual habits.

Ning Huai'an, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, didn't care. After Shen Moyun withdrew, he was gearing up and ready to go, preparing to reveal the few things he had collected about Pei Yue and the eldest prince, and to fight for the long court battle. Draw a perfect ending.On the premise that the second prince is slightly ahead, as long as the first prince is proven to be of bad conduct, it will not be in vain for these people on his side to wait quietly for so many days.

However, this time he was still preempted.

Is the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the high-ranking and powerful heavenly official, repeatedly ignored by others?Ning Huai'an frowned, but when he saw clearly the old man who came out to play, he could only smile wryly to himself a few times.

Not to mention him, even Luo Ting and Luo Jiyu couldn't compete with this old man.

Because his name is Huang Rentai, and he is an official censor doctor.

The head of Xiantai has always been an important figure in the court. Thousands of years ago, he could even assist the prime minister in handling state affairs.It's just that with the passage of time, the official system of each dynasty has been constantly changing. In Daliang today, the doctor Yushi is only responsible for managing the Yushitai and supervising the officials.

Even so, Huang Rentai still has a respected status, and he is nominally under the jurisdiction of the East Mansion, but Luo Ting has always treated him with courtesy, just because he has very deep qualifications.

However, what surprised all the officials was that Huang Rentai stood under the imperial steps and did not speak for a long time. If he hadn't known that the old man was not in a daze, someone would probably slander him for being insane.

Emperor Kaiping said quietly: "I still remember that last year the three states were hit by a severe drought, and the court's expenses were extremely tight. At this time, some people did not hesitate to spend their own money to help the court tide over the difficulties and relieve those poor people. My prince only thinks about his own property, and even embezzles money from the court, ha ha."

For some reason, the second prince's heart suddenly rose.

Pei Yue looked at Gu Liang's generous back in front of him.

At this moment, the aging Huang Rentai finally spoke: "Just now Xue Shangshu once said that the impeachment of the censor must be justified and well-founded. The love of history is also considered from the overall situation of the court's integrity. After all, a sword without a sharp edge is blunt, and if there are too many restraints and fetters, the constitution will lose its meaning of existence."

But judging from the current situation, even if Ouyang Jing did not collude with Pei Yue to join the party, there must be some kind of transaction between the two in private.Reminiscent of Huang Rentai's consistent views on Pei Yue, many people couldn't help but suddenly thought they understood the reason for the old man's hesitation.

His old eyes looked at Emperor Kaiping, who was already pale on the dragon chair, and sighed softly: "That is to say, the bamboo building still owes the Ministry of Industry more than 24 taels of silver. Although the amount is not huge, it is not in accordance with court rules after all. "

Emperor Kaiping narrowed his eyes and asked, "Have to?"

Huang Rentai said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the old minister here has an impeachment memorial. The evidence is more detailed and has to be submitted to the imperial court."

When Huang Rentai came out of duty, even the aloof Emperor Kaiping nodded his head.

Ouyang Jing had calmed down at this moment, looking at the thin figure of the old man, listening very carefully.

Huang Rentai spoke slowly and in a low voice. Fortunately, most of the important officials in front of the palace could hear clearly.

"On the fourth day of August, a sum of 5000 taels of silver from the Water Division of the Ministry of Industry was collected by Na Jinsan according to the same process."

"A total of 26 similar turnovers have occurred, especially in the first half of December last year, there were as many as seven times. According to the statistics of the veteran, the shopkeeper named Jin San took away a total of 95% of the silver from the Ministry of Industry. More than 71 taels, more than [-] taels to return."

The words are still in my ears, and now I can't help but feel very ironic.

"Although he has the right to gossip, the censor can't trust the horse freely. Even if the evidence is not convincing, he still needs to have something to say. This is the code of conduct for Xiantai officials."

If it wasn't for the existence of Pei Yue, the old man would have come forward to protect the dignity of Ouyang Jing and Yu Shitai.

All the ministers nodded.

How the imperial court uses its own laws, although the account transactions listed by Huang Rentai are not exaggerated, and more than [-] taels of silver will not affect the normal operation of the Ministry of Industry, but...

If it were normal times, he would temporarily embezzle a small amount of silver from the Ministry of Industry so that the Zhulou could withstand the pressure of Qinyuan, but in fact he would not encounter particularly serious consequences.

Emperor Kaiping was not in a hurry, but just glanced thoughtfully at Luo Ting who was still silent.

Huang Rentai said slowly: "This matter involves a prince and a minister, and the veteran has to be cautious. Originally, the veteran thought that it was framed by someone, but after checking and verifying a lot of evidence in the past few days, it was found that it was true."

However, less than a stick of incense before, in front of all the civil and military officials, he uttered the words that made those who heard it cry without leaving any room.

After the voice fell, there was a dead silence in Chengtian Hall.

"On September 27th, the first 3000 taels of silver was transferred back to the Department of Construction and Repair of the Ministry of Industry, but the next day, the Department of Yuheng of the Ministry of Industry transferred another 3 taels of silver to Taiping Bank, following the previous example."

The second prince knelt down, his face was as pale as paper, he wanted to ask for love but he didn't know how to say it.

Huang Rentai firmly advocated severely punishing Pei Yue, not only to dismiss him as the commander of the Tibetan front guard, but also suggested that the Ministry of punishment should escort him back to the capital for trial.

This has to bring up another old matter.

The second prince opened his mouth slightly, his body trembling uncontrollably.

This old man was born in the sixth year of Taizong Taihe, at the age of 64, only four years younger than Mo Haoli who returned home to recuperate, and one year younger than the deceased Princess Qiyang. It can be said that he has seen countless vicissitudes.

At the beginning of the sixth year of Kaiping, the Zhengdan dynasty was up, and with the end of the war in the western region, the rewards of the soldiers were put on the agenda. Among them, Pei Yue Wuzhi's murder of Wuwei Hou Ningzhong arbitrarily caused controversy.

Emperor Kaiping's almost lifeless voice sounded in the ears of all the officials: "I remember that last year when the Qin Garden in the capital was opened, many recreational places were affected. Only this bamboo building is supported by itself. Although the income has been greatly reduced, it still persists. At that time, I was very pleased that Liu Yun could finally do something."

However, what the old man said next made him frown slightly.

Although Emperor Kaiping chose a compromise strategy in the end, the old man's disgust for young martial arts like Pei Yue is self-evident, and even if Pei Yue has risen to the top in the past two years and accumulated a large number of contacts among civil servants, he can't help it. Change Huang Rentai's mind.

"The same is true for a sum of 7000 taels of silver from the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry on the second day of September."

Emperor Kaiping sneered and said, "Prince? Shangshu? The Qing family might as well talk about it carefully."

Those purple-clothed ministers naturally wouldn't be so superficial, they only thought that the old man was still hesitating, after all Xue Ji just reprimanded Ouyang Jing bluntly, and Yu Shitai was even more involved in his words.As a royal censor, if Huang Rentai couldn't refute it righteously, how would he manage the thorny censors under his command in the future?
This has nothing to do with court struggles, but a code that must be followed in officialdom.

Under the close watch of all the officials, Huang Rentai seemed to say with some difficulty: "On July 3000 last year, a sum of [-] taels of silver from the Construction Department of the Ministry of Industry quietly flowed out. Transfer to a merchant named Jin San."

Huang Rentai's words made the second prince very happy, because the old man almost pointed at Ouyang Jing's eyes and taught him. Although his words were not sharp and serious, the situation was obviously developing in his favor.

"very good."

He flicked the sleeves of his robe suddenly, got up and walked towards the back of the hall.

"Father!"

Liu Yun knelt on the ground, screaming almost in despair, but he couldn't call back to the Supreme Liang.
