Clear Wear and Lie to Win

Chapter 181
The original Minister of the Ministry of War was taken into account and laid off. The position of Minister of the Ministry of War was vacant, but it could not always be vacant.

The forces in the court are intricate, even Yinzhen can't fully understand it, and it's a troubled time. To be on the safe side, Yinzhen began to appoint Yunrong's brother Ma Qi as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Ma Qi was taken aback when he received the imperial decree. He had worked in the Ministry of War before, and he was familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of War. He was sure that he could handle the Minister of the Ministry of War. However, the pie suddenly fell from the sky, and he felt a little uncomfortable with the pie. Practical.

But he couldn't refuse the emperor's trust.

He couldn't go to the emperor and say that the slave's qualifications are too young to take on this important task, and the emperor should ask someone else to be wise.

If he really said that, he would hardly achieve anything in his life.

So Ma Qi took up the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of War tremblingly, and then began to get busy.

Ma Qi sat in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War worriedly, and was called to the study by Mi Sihan the same night he received the imperial edict.

After all, where is Mi Sihan's age? The former Shangshu of the Ministry of War was too weird to be ginseng. Mi Sihan didn't know much about the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, but it was so easy for people to collect evidence. Mi Sihan felt that something was wrong, and finally The emperor chose Ma Qi, which made Mi Sihan more worried.

"My son, do a good job. Ama got the news from the emperor. The emperor may want to conscript himself. Don't spread it. The affairs of the Ministry of War are not that simple. You should pay more attention."

Although Ma Qi was not as keen as Mi Sihan, he also knew that something was wrong, but at this time he could only bite the bullet and go on.

Ma Qi quickly got started with the affairs of the Ministry of War. On the way back after finishing the investigation a few days ago, the carriage driving in front of Ma Qi was suddenly startled. Ma Qi also had some skills. In addition, if he did not act, he might hurt innocent people, so He shot to save the man.

Then he was thanked by several people in the carriage, and Ma Qi saw that the person sitting in the carriage was the censor who participated in the original military department that day, and he declined his thanks, and hurried back.

Then the next day the censor gave Ma Qi a gift, and Ma Qi felt aggrieved, whether he withdrew or accepted it.

He only asked Fujin to put the things in the bottom of the box in the warehouse, he didn't want to see those things.

Ma Qi made some guesses, and immediately drew people's attention to the movements in Beijing, and then began to spread rumors, saying that in order to become the Minister of the Ministry of War, Master Gege Maqi, the queen's natal family, did not hesitate to design the former Minister of the Ministry of War.

Ma Qi quickly asked someone to suppress the news, but he found that the news could not be suppressed.

Soon the news spread widely, and there was a lot of uproar. As long as the entire capital was not shut up and didn't like to talk and socialize with others, basically everyone knew about it.

Most of them think that this incident is not groundless, and that empiricism is the main cause of death. Past history has taught people that most of the natal families of favorite concubines and empresses began to act as powerful as soon as they gained power. Now that they have received such news, they just feel that Sure enough.

It's not that no one has doubts, but there is a good saying that the truth is in the hands of a few.

This matter got out more, and the Fucha family was not a popular family, so there were naturally hostile families. Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, some people started to play tricks.

This demon is also a well-known person, he is Tong Guowei, Kangxi's mother clan, plus Empress Xiaoyiren has protected him for several years in his life, Yinzhen is willing to give the Tong family some face.

So in the past few years, the life of the Tong family has been okay, even if there are some small mistakes, Yinzhen is willing to turn a blind eye.

As a result, people's appetites are raised.

Tong Guowei still has a daughter who has not been drafted, and she has a pretty face. Tong Guowei thinks it is not worse than the queen. Besides, the queen is getting older now, so she must not be as tender as Jiaohua.

Tong Guowei began to make bad ideas again. Ma Qi's incident happened to be a pretext. If he used it well to let everyone in the world know that if the queen was still the daughter of the Fucha family, the emperor would definitely listen and believe. Will not fight against the world for a woman.

Tong Guowei knew men well, he could tell that the emperor had great ambitions, if it was because of a woman that his ambition could not be realized, then this woman would definitely not be loved again.

Tong Guowei is not stupid, so naturally he would not go into battle in person. The Tong family is also a family, and there are many people under it.

So Ma Qi was ginsenged.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the servant has verified that Mr. Chen, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was wronged by others, and the servant also found out that Mr. Chen, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had had contacts with Mr. Wang, who was in charge of Mr. Chen. Now there are rumors everywhere in the capital, Mr. Ma Qi For the sake of being Minister of the Ministry of War, he framed Mr. Chen, and I hope the emperor can find out clearly."

Yinzhen took a look at the man, Liang Jiugong immediately told Yinzhen who it belonged to, and then Yinzhen said: "Aiqing said Mr. Chen was wronged, do you have evidence?"

"There are slaves."

This time Yinzhen is quite strange, his staff has not found anything yet, this person has evidence, either the power behind this person is greater than him, or the evidence of Mr. Chen's crime at the beginning was fabricated by the person behind it laid out.

Liang Jiugong presented the evidence, and Yinzhen read it. Sure enough, the evidence was very convincing, and it could indeed remove the guilt of the former Minister of the Ministry of War.

But: "Aiqing said that Ma Qi had contacts with Mr. Wang, but what evidence do you have?"

The man said: "Report to the emperor, the slave has it, and the slave has verified that Lord Wang sent someone to give a gift to Lord Ma Qi five days ago, and Lord Ma Qi did not refuse to accept it."

"Ma Qi, Wang Shuqiu, do you think this happened?"

Ma Qi said: "Back to the emperor, Lord Wang did send a gift to the servant's mansion, and it was received by slave Fujin. When Lord Wang gave the gift, he said that it was a gift of thanks for the slave's life-saving grace, and it is not easy for the servant to refuse. So I sent someone to send it to the warehouse, and I hope the emperor will check it out, and the servant never instructed Mr. Wang."

Wang Shuqiu also opened his mouth and said: "Qi report to the emperor that the servant has been wronged. That is, six days ago, the servant's carriage suddenly had an accident. If Master Ma Qi's carriage was not behind the servant at that time, the servant might not even have his life. Mr. Qi's ceremony is just an ordinary ceremony, there is nothing special about it, I hope the emperor will check it out."

Yinzhen: "Of course I will investigate clearly. Let's not put this matter aside for the time being. Let's talk about the matter of the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War first! Wang Aiqing, tell me how you found out that the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War secretly embezzled military pay?"

Yinzhen felt that there was a problem with this matter from the very beginning, but it was just a plan. In addition, he did plan to replace the original Minister of the Ministry of War. He was a bit old, and it was not suitable for him to go to the battlefield. He had no interest in crushing people to death. Hobby.

Before he acted, someone had joined the former Minister of the Ministry of War, and he also knew that he would make the former Minister of the Ministry of War go home and rest for a while.

When Wang Shuqiu was asked this question, he himself realized that it was indeed a bit simple to verify that the Minister of the Ministry of War secretly embezzled the military pay, and every step was arranged by someone.

Combining today's incident, Wang Shuqiu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. If it was what he guessed, he would have fallen into someone else's trap. That is to say, the horses in the carriage did not go crazy that day for no reason.

"My Majesty, this servant did not intend to investigate Mr. Chen. After all, Mr. Chen has a good reputation on weekdays. It was only accidental that the slave found Mr. Chen. The more the investigation, the smoother the results. I hope the emperor will investigate clearly."

Let him investigate every one of them, and he will naturally investigate, but this matter is a bit big.

Yinzhen: "That's all for now."

After the court, Yinzhen left Wang Shuqiu and Ma Qi behind. He called them to the study room and said something, then Wang Shuqiu and Ma Qi left expressionlessly, and then the imperial decree came down, Wang Shuqiu and Ma Qi Qi was ordered to rest at home. As for when to rest well and when he could be on errands, he did not elaborate.
