People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 309
Hu Weiyong was startled, his eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief.

He was busy with family affairs these days, but he didn't go to the Ministry of Education.

But even if he is not in the court, he also knows that Yang Xian has been in the limelight recently.

In the pirate case, more than 3000 people died, including officials, local wealthy households, and their family members...

Yang Xian took advantage of this turmoil to reap a lot of benefits.

There are seven or eight officials he arranged to serve along the coast alone.

These are all the positions of local officials who control the fat and shortages in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the granary of the world.

So, Mr. Yang hasn't had a good time for a long time, and then... something happened?

For a while, Hu Weiyong didn't know whether to be happy or sad?

"Li Xiang, why haven't I heard anything about this matter?"

"The people outside belong to the family of Feng Yong, the minister of Taipusi. This person was originally an unknown official from the Northland. Yang Xian single-handedly promoted him...

The Taipu Temple is in charge of the horse administration of the imperial court, which can be regarded as a lucrative department, but now that the war in the north is not over, and the horse administration court is also keeping a close eye on it, ordinary people would not think that someone would dare to make a move in this regard? "

Hu Weiyong's heart moved:
"Is this the Zhedong faction's counterattack?"

Piracy mainly hit wealthy families along the coast, as well as the officials who protected them.

In fact, strictly speaking, officials from either the coast or the eastern Zhejiang faction, many officials from Jiangsu and Fujian also took refuge in Li Shanchang's sect.

But Hu Weiyong's question is justified. From the perspective of interests,
Although they are all wealthy households in the south, their positions are different.

The core of the coastal faction is maritime trade, which the officials represented by Huaixi cannot afford. Therefore, it is not surprising that the officials of the coastal faction took the position of the Eastern Zhejiang faction in the piracy case.

Li Shanchang shook his head:

"This time it's not Yushitai who made the move, it's the school inspector..."

Calibration?
When Hu Weiyong heard these two words, his scalp became numb.

The inspection school is an intelligence department set up by the emperor himself, which is well known to all civil and military officials in the court.

This institution is mysterious and mysterious, but it is not secretive.

Zhu Yuanzhang made no secret of himself. He placed inspectors in Baiguan's mansion to monitor them.

In addition, he often used the school to beat all the officials. One of the most famous incidents was that when Song Lian was eating at home, Lao Zhu ran to ask what he ate yesterday?
After Song Lian answered, he said that he did not lie.

Zhu Yuanzhang's distrust of the officials was almost written on his face. These high-ranking officials were cautious about many things, just because they were afraid of being discovered by the school.

But the inspection school does not have the right to arrest people, it is at best a surveillance agency.

and so……

Hu Weiyong immediately understood the purpose of Li Shanchang's coming to him. As the head of the officials, he also thought of His Majesty's possible plans.

"Your Majesty wants to give the inspector more authority?"

He tentatively asked, in exchange for Li Shanchang's sigh:

"That's right, judging from His Majesty's recent small actions, His Majesty does plan to set up another supervisory agency outside of Yushitai, and this agency may take away a lot of our authority!
And it can be seen that His Majesty wants to use the inspection to do many things that are inconvenient for him..."

The sweat on Hu Weiyong's forehead burst out instantly.

"Frank is also paying attention to your affairs. I would like to advise you, whether you want money or your life, you should think it through yourself!"

The carriage circled around and stopped at the gate of the Hu Mansion again.

Hu Weiyong stood at the gate of Hu's mansion and didn't go in for a long time. Li Shanchang's carriage disappeared at the end of the street long ago, and Hu Weiyong came back to his senses.

"Master, I have made arrangements..."

"Shut up, I'll blow all those people away, remember, if you dare to charge them a penny, I'll beat you to death and throw you out of the house..."

Hu Weiyong suddenly turned his face, stared at the servant and gave a stern warning.

The servant was dumbfounded, he didn't understand why the master did this?

"Master, but if this is the case, we will have no money to save the young master..."

His words hit Hu Weiyong's mind.

puff!
Hu Weiyong vomited a mouthful of blood, and the servant was so frightened that he hurriedly supported him.

"Come on, my master has passed out!"

The Hu Mansion was in chaos.

……

The matter of the Hu Mansion, in the normal Yingtian Mansion, might become a bit of an anecdote.

It's just placed in Yingtian today, but no one pays attention to him.

Compared with a Zhongshu Provincial Counselor, the officials of Nanjing City have already smelled something unusual.

The right minister of Zhongshu Province, Mr. Yang Xianyang, I am afraid that he will suffer.

The emperor ordered the procuratorate to take action, and took the minister of Taibosi for corruption.

This incident happened so suddenly that everyone had not had time to react, at the gate of the palace.

When the officials went to court, there was a fat man kneeling at the gate of the palace.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the grassroots have been wronged!
Shen Xiu, a grassroots citizen, wants to sue Yang Xian, the prime minister of the current dynasty, for abusing his power, turning black and white, oppressing good people, and colluding with pirates...

Caomin was innocent, but because he refused to confess to Yang Xian, he was bullied and oppressed,

At the moment of the morning court, a fat man who should not have appeared here appeared inexplicably.

At the gate of the palace, report to the imperial court?

Ying Tianfu's hot oil pan seemed to be dripping with a drop of water...

Blasted!

"Shen Xiu, is that Shen Wansan from Zhouzhuang?"

"That's right, it's Shen Xiu. He's still alive?"

"This is going to be a big deal..."

The Taipu Temple suddenly fell, and someone in the court had already reported that something might happen to Yang Xian.

However, everyone is still in the stage of guessing about this matter, but with the appearance of Shen Wansan, everyone feels that the storm is about to come.

"Yang Xian and his henchmen openly bought life money in coastal areas and other places, even if they have a pirate background, as long as they pay the money, they can live!

If you don't pay the money, Lord Yang will treat you as a pirate and kill you all!

Your Majesty, the people in Jiangnan are full of grievances, can you see it?
Yang Xian wants most of my net worth, and he also intends to let Shen die, if Shen is not desperate, he really doesn't want to do such a bad plan..."

In a few words, Shen Wansan explained Yang Xian's criminal evidence clearly, and the expressions of the officials present changed drastically.

Collusion with pirates, buy life money?

The news revealed by Shen Wansan was far more explosive than the officials had imagined.

For a while, the officials who were going to court stopped there and forgot to respond.

Immediately, their expressions were different.

Some people rejoice, some eat melons, and some are terrified.

"Where did the grassroots come from, dare to make a noise at the gate of the palace, what about the guards, why don't you take him down quickly..."

A voice, startled and angry, roared at the gate of the palace.

The Lord is here?

Baiguan looked towards a sedan chair in the distance, and Yang Xian's frantic figure came out of the sedan chair.

As soon as he yelled, the matter immediately exploded.

The guards at the gate of the palace also looked confused, but when they heard Yang Xian yelling, they rushed to arrest him.

"Wait!"

Just when Yang Xian breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shanchang's sedan chair came slowly from a distance, he got off the sedan chair, and looked at Shen Wansan from a distance.

Someone already told Li Shanchang the ins and outs of the matter, and he was secretly amazed.

Yesterday he told Hu Weiyong that something might happen to Yang Xian, and today such a big thing happened.

"Li Shanchang, what do you mean?"

Yang Xian was furious and turned around to question Li Shanchang. At this time, he didn't care about the politeness on the surface, and his expression was terribly gloomy.

Naturally, Li Shanchang would not be afraid of him. Ever since Taibu Siqing was imprisoned, he had already smelled something different.

He said:

"Yang Xiang, this imperial guard is not something we and other courtiers can command, the prime minister just wants to remind you!

Not in his place, not seeking his political affairs!
You are overstepping! "

Yang Xian's complexion suddenly turned pale.

"I believe this old man. Someone will be sent out from the palace. Let's leave him alone. If Lord Yang is innocent, His Majesty will not let this villain who wants to commit crimes be spared!"

After he finished speaking, he took Yang Xian's hand, and seemed to have a good relationship with him.

Yang Xian's body was shaking, and a feeling of uneasiness welled up in his heart.

"Check school work!"

Just when he was panicked, Gao Jianxian led a group of inspectors through the crowd and walked up to Shen Wansan.

They picked up Shen Wansan and walked towards the palace.

Inspection, inspection again?
Yang Xian was born in the school, but he never knew that the school would have such great power.

Shen Wansan was very obedient, and after the inspection came out, he would cooperate honestly.

However, Yang Xian is very strange, because this bastard has been looking at this side, no, he is looking at Li Shanchang?
"A ghost?"

Yang Xian turned his head and stared at Li Shanchang.

He always felt that Shen Wansan's appearance here today was a bit strange.

Could it be that the old guy in front of him is the one who arranged for the fat man to come over.

In Yang Xian's eyes, anger grew even stronger.

In fact, Li Shanchang also looked confused, is there a flower on his face?
Why did that fat man look at himself more?
But he quickly ignored this matter, and when he looked back at Yang Xian, the other party's arrogance had long since disappeared.

"Master Yang, let's go!"

Li Shanchang laughed and walked into the palace first.

Yang Xian's legs were trembling, he didn't want to go in, but he dared not go in.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw the situation in front of them in their eyes and kept it in their hearts.

A group of people came to Fengtian Temple with their own ghosts in their minds.

The emperor seemed to know nothing, and opened the dynasty normally.

According to the usual practice, all the officials began to report various things, but everyone seemed absent-minded, waiting for the result of something.

Morning came to an end.

The eunuch reported:
"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

At this time, I saw Gao Jianxian coming from a distance, kneeling on the ground.

"Chen, Gao Jianxian, I have something to play!"

"allow!"

"Today, a commoner appealed for grievances at the gate of the palace. He sued Yang Xian for covering the sky with his hands in the pirate case and providing shelter for wealthy households with pirate backgrounds. If the wealthy households in Jiangnan do not pay for their lives, even if they are innocent, they will The house was ransacked..."

Gao Jianxian's words shocked everyone.

Everyone focused their attention on Yang Xian at the same time, and Yang Xian's face became distorted due to excitement.

He couldn't help shouting:

"Nonsense, there is no truth!"

Yang Xian was about to reprimand Gao Jianxian, but found a pair of cold eyes falling from above.

Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yang Xian turned his head and found that the emperor was looking at him calmly.

This gaze has killing intent.

Yang Xian was terrified and knelt down directly:
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and asked Gao Jianxian:

"Does the businessman have evidence?"

"Yes, Shen Xiu was forced by Yang Xian to hand over 30 hectares of fertile land, [-] taels of silver, [-] pieces of cloth, jewelry..."

Gao Jianxian read a bunch of things in one breath, Baiguan gasped.

Even if Shen Wansan is the richest household in the south of the Yangtze River, he would be hurt by being blackmailed for these things, right?

It's no wonder that people jump over the wall in a hurry and go to the capital to sue the imperial court.

Shen Wansan has a clear list, as well as the detailed whereabouts of these things.

Yang Xian heard that he was already on the verge of collapse. He was about to speak when Gao Jianxian continued:
"According to the clues provided by Shen Xiu, I led people to search Master Yang's mansion, and arrested the servant who was in contact with him, and that person was also recruited.

From that population, the subordinate followed the clues and caught several wealthy households who paid for their lives.

One of them was definitely connected with the pirates, but he bought his life with Yang Xian and got away with it! "

After Gao Jianxian finished speaking, he presented a stack of confessions to the emperor. Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it, and the anger in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Yang Xian really wanted to complain, but he couldn't speak. The evidence, what Gao Jianxian said, were all evidence of his guilt.

There are some things that he himself may not be able to explain more clearly than Gao Jianxian.

Zhu Yuanzhang read these quietly, and then put down the confession.

"Yang Aiqing, after all, I misjudged you..."

His tone was calm, but Yang Xian knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed:

"Excuse me? Yang Xian, first let go of your corruption and oppression of dissidents.

In the pirate case, you dare to let go of those wealthy households who colluded with pirates, okay, I raised a good dog, but it turned out to be a wolf...

It's a Zhongshan wolf..."

The word "Zhongshan wolf" shocked Yang Xian, and he stood on the spot in a daze for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said:
"Gao Jianxian..."

"Chen is here!"

"Take Yang Xian down and give me a good interrogation. I really want to see how many people have paid Master Yang for their lives?"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Yang Xian didn't realize it until the school inspector came to bring him in. From the peak to the end, the transformation was so fast that he didn't have time to react.

He wailed loudly, no longer in high spirits like before.

The school inspectors dragged Yang Xian out of Fengtian Hall, leaving behind a puddle of foul-smelling water stains.

Yang Xian's cries gradually faded away, and needles could be heard in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, withdrew from court, and went back to the harem.

……

Li Shanchang was not happy that his political opponent was unlucky.

He turned around and went out, but looked at Liu Bowen who had not spoken the whole time.

The two exchanged meaningful glances with each other, and then walked out separately.

Liu Bowen walked in front, Xu Cunren stopped him from behind.

"Yang Xian has fallen, at least the colleagues in eastern Zhejiang can breathe a sigh of relief..."

Although Xu Cunren was equally shocked, he was still in a good mood.

It's just that he saw that Liu Bowen didn't look happy at all, but he was puzzled.

"Brother Xu, do you believe that it only took a few hours for the inspector to dig out so many things?"

Liu Ji turned around and asked Xu Cunren, Xu Cunren was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Fortunately, Liu Ji didn't need him to answer, so he continued:

"It took more than a day to collect all these evidences, so it can be seen that His Majesty has already grasped the evidence of Yang Xian's crime, but he just did not release it!
This is where all the birds are hidden, and the rabbit is dead and the dog is cooking!

In the case of Yang Xian, I am afraid that many people will die..."

On Liu Ji's face, there was no joy of a competitor's downfall, only deep fear.

The emperor's calculations in the palace,
It's too scary.
