The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 203 Think it over, talk to me again!

Tong Guan returned to the queue with a bit of resentment, feeling very unhappy. It seemed that this military achievement had no chance.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

At this moment, Liu Anshi, the imperial historian, suddenly came out.

"Say!" Lin Nuo nodded.

"I want to impeach Song Jiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. During his time in charge of the Ministry of Industry, he took bribes and abused his power. He is really a treacherous minister. Your Majesty, please punish him!"

Song Jiang was originally the Minister of the Ministry of War, but his ability was indeed not suitable for the Ministry of War. After the fall of the Song Kingdom, he was transferred by Lin Nuo to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He had been in office for seven years.

"Liu Anshi, who do you usually catch and criticize, and now you come to trouble me by relying on the rumors. Let me ask you, do you have any evidence for the official to take bribes and abuse his power?"

Song Jiang frowned, and when he heard that Liu Anshi aimed the cannon fire at him, his temples bulged, and he felt bored.

He is not afraid of being impeached, but he is afraid of losing his position in the emperor's heart.

Over the years, he has been very clear that he has not been liked by His Majesty from the beginning to the end, but firstly, he is an old man in Liangshanpo, who has made great achievements in the court, and secondly, he is good at figuring out the holy will. In several major decisions, I guessed the emperor's intentions correctly, and stood beside His Majesty.

Therefore, even if His Majesty doesn't like him, there is no embarrassment for him, because His Majesty needs a courtier like himself. Because of this, although his position has been changed from Minister of War to Minister of Industry, his rank has not dropped at all.

But if Liu Anshi, a troll, targets himself for a long time, and just sprays himself a few words when he has nothing to do, then his good opinion in His Majesty's heart may drop to freezing point.

At this moment, Wu Yong, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Siqing and other senior officials also came out together and said: "I impeached Song Jiang. Over the years, I have received many letters saying that he abused his power. , Taxes are collected on a head-by-head basis, and if you pay a certain amount of coins, you can be exempted from corvee.”

"In addition, when Song Jiang was in charge of building the post roads leading from the imperial capital to various places, he asked the gentry everywhere for money and food, filling his own pockets!"

"Your Majesty, please punish Song Jiang for his crimes, so as to maintain the majesty of Dagan's law!"

Song Jiang took a deep breath, and gave Wu Yong a cold look. It was obvious that he would be impeached by several senior court officials this time, and this guy was behind it.

In the past few years, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Prime Minister on the Right, Lu Junyi, is suitable for leading troops and fighting, but not suitable for governing the country. Therefore, everyone knows that after Dali Kingdom is also included in the Dagan territory, the position of Prime Minister on the Right, I'm afraid it will be empty.

Song Jiang knew in his heart that the reason why Wu Yong, this insidious villain, would attack him was to get rid of himself, a strong contender for Prime Minister Right, in advance!
Song Jiang secretly hated, in fact, these days, he himself is also sending people to collect Wu Yong's handles, but it's a pity that he was not fully prepared, but Wu Yong did it first.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" At this moment, Song Jiang knew in his heart that it was useless to talk more, all he had to do was cry out for injustice.

The emperor on the dragon chair was not an ordinary person. He was absolutely clear about the struggle among the courtiers. Whether he was guilty or not was actually entirely in His Majesty's whim.

"Zhu Wu, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhu Wu held the jade board and said, "Your Majesty, since Song Jiang has been impeached by officials from the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Yushitai, etc., I believe that there is still a trial!"

Before Wu Yong and others impeached Song Jiang, although Song Jiang was angry, he still didn't have much fear, but at this moment, Zhu Wu, Prime Minister Zuo, spoke, which made Song Jiang's heart cold.

Who is Zhu Wu? He is the head of all the officials, and he is the most trusted person of His Majesty. When he speaks like this, he almost condemns Song Jiang.

What frightened Song Jiang the most was His Majesty's attitude. He even wondered whether His Majesty had secretly released some kind of signal to impeach Song Jiang by all the officials, which made even Zhu Wu, the prime minister, stand on his side. He is the opposite of Song Jiang.

Ruthless is the emperor's family. Song Jiang really understands the meaning of this sentence at this moment. Your Majesty thinks that Song Jiang is useless. Are you going to kick him out?

"Since that's the case, Song Jiang will be temporarily dismissed from the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and handed over to the three divisions of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Jinyiwei for joint trial!"

After Lin Nuo's words fell, Song Jiang almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Your Majesty, this is really going to do something to Song Jiang!
After the court meeting was over and the officials withdrew, Lin Nuo got up and looked at Prince Lin Fan, and asked with a light smile, "How is it? What do you see?"

"Father, are you planning to do something to Song Jiang?"

Lin Nuo smiled and shook his head, "Song Jiang is a scheming person, and ordinary people may not be able to control him. It is precisely because Wu Yong and others understand this that they feel that I actually want to get rid of this person. Good preparation for the crown prince's ascension to the throne in the future!"

"Then father, do you want to get rid of Song Jiang?"

Today's Lin Fan is 15 years old, just like his biological father Lin Chong, tall and mighty, looking around, he looks like an emperor.

"Song Jiang, whether we want to stay or not, we will find out next time!"

Lin Nuo smiled and signaled Lin Fan not to worry. After a while, Zhu Gui led several guards in brocade clothes and pressed Song Jiang to the apse.

Lin Nuo sat on the dragon chair and didn't speak, but Song Jiang below, knowing that this was his last chance to survive, immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, I will not lie to Your Majesty! I have indeed collected poll tax, and those who pay the money can be exempted from corvee!"

"But I don't collect poll taxes randomly. Most of the people I collect are helpless sons and gentlemen. It is useless for these people to serve them in corvee, and it will even add to the chaos. It is better to collect them. some money, and free them from corvee!"

"In addition, I did collect money and food from local gentry when building roads, but I didn't embezzle the money privately, but used it all for road construction. The road construction expenses allocated by the treasury over the years, that is, construction It's about five thousand miles, but with the extra money, Danchen has built more than 3000 miles!"

Lin Nuo still didn't speak, but the prince Lin Fan who was beside him couldn't bear it anymore, "You didn't take the money for road construction for yourself, so what about the poll tax you collected earlier, where did it go?"

"Your Majesty, Crown Prince, Ming Jian, the ministers dare not take the money for themselves. Over the years, the royal family has built many palaces in various places. Moreover, the crown prince got married last year, and the Ministry of Industry also specially built a prince's palace. It was allocated by the treasury at that time There is not enough money and food, in order to make the Crown Prince Palace perfect, all the extra money was paid out of the previous poll tax!"

Um?This matter also involves me, the prince?

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at his father on the dragon chair, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

And at this moment, Lin Nuo finally spoke, staring at Song Jiang with indifferent eyes without blinking, and said, "I will ask you one last thing, did you really take any of the money for yourself?"

"Think it over, and talk to me again!"
