Chapter 384: Both singing and writing are excellent
The major national affairs were talked about in the hall.
The earlier quarrels and disputes seemed insignificant and were soon left behind. Most of the officials talk about the issue of the war in the Northwest, and in addition to this year''s grain production and tax revenue in the south.
Some court officials raised some difficult questions in public.
Everyone expresses their opinions and seeks solutions.
More than an hour passed like this.
However, most of the questions were thrown to the Ministry of Revenue. The reason was that the Ministry of Revenue asked for money. Xia Weiban had a face and said in one sentence back and forth: "Would you guys not know how much money the Ministry of Revenue has? Always ask me for money, money, money! Who am I asking for money? I can''t give me that much money even if I take my life away."
Emperor Ming Cheng was troubled by the quarrel.
This is almost the norm. In the end, the argument was put on hold because there was no money.
Just at this moment, a little **** took out a stack of memorials and handed them to Jixiang''s hand, and then placed them on the dragon''s desk.
Emperor Ming Cheng quarreled with the people below.
He opened the top memorial.
After reading it, I saw Mr. Zhang with a bad look.
The ministers below realized that something was wrong and gradually became less and less talked about. Some officials followed Emperor Mingcheng''s gaze and secretly glanced at Mr. Zhang, guessing whether Mr. Zhang had done something to anger Emperor Mingcheng.
Mr. Zhang also discovered something was wrong.
Who is your majesty staring at below?
If he had not been an official for so many years, he would have been under the oppressive gaze of Emperor Ming Cheng, without saying a word or kneeling down to beg for mercy. Now he still felt a little lucky in his heart, begging Emperor Mingcheng to see him not. It is the officials in front of him or behind him.
However, he will be disappointed after all.
"Minister of Works, Secretary of State Zhang, and Leo Zhang."
The words of Emperor Cheng of Ming broke the silence of the hall and also broke the hope in the heart of Minister Zhang.
Mr. Zhang stood up in fear and fear, lifted his robe with one hand and knelt down, "I''m here."
"Is the depositary money house your Zhang family''s property?"
Emperor Cheng of Ming said this again.
The ministers present were confused. Could it be that what did the Zhang family’s money house do?
Emperor Mingcheng''s appearance does not look like he is simply angry, and he feels like a storm is about to come. It seems that the next sentence of Emperor Ming Cheng would make someone drag Minister Zhang out and chop him out.
Emperor Ming Cheng really wants to kill people now.
How long has he just rewarded him?
He was slapped in the face so soon. Where did this matter make him the emperor''s majesty? !
Mr. Zhang replied in panic: "Go back to Your Majesty, the Cunyi Money House is the property of the Zhang family, and Cunyi is the title given by the Taizu of the year."
The next moment, a memorial hit the minister Zhang.
"You have read it yourself, and I will give me an explanation after reading it. I really want to know how dissatisfied your Zhang family is with me?" Emperor Mingcheng said with a mighty attitude.
When Mr. Zhang heard this, he was so scared that he kowtowed repeatedly, "I am absolutely not dissatisfied with Your Majesty. I have always been loyal to you, and the sun and the moon can be seen."
Emperor Ming Cheng did not respond.
After Mr. Zhang begging for mercy, he still picked up the memorial on the ground with trembling hands and opened it to check the contents inside. After just reading it once, Mr. Zhang''s face turned pale.
Then, he said righteously and loudly: "Your Majesty, the content above is purely slander. Since our Zhang family followed Taizu to fight the country, they have always had no different intentions towards the Daxia Dynasty. Moreover, the Zhang family has grown up in this land for generations, and their deep feelings for this place are no less than anyone present. I, Zhang Zhilu, dare to swear as the ancestors and ancestors. If the Zhang family has a little bit of ambition to betray Daxia, they are willing to cut off their children and grandchildren and never be able to reincarnate forever."
This serious statement came down.
Some people believe it, some people don’t. But if you can swear by your ancestors and descendants, Mr. Zhang is also a cruel person. I''m not afraid that the coffin boards that his ancestors were so angry that they could not hold back.
Emperor Mingcheng''s attitude was a little eased, "Okay, I will believe you for the time being."
When Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief...
Emperor Ming Cheng suddenly asked: "After Jifang donated tens of thousands of stones of grain, the Zhang family began to suppress Jifang. Is this a matter?"
"Your Majesty, please report."
Mr. Zhang kowtowed and said with sobs: "My elders and parents died early, and the family has long been separated. Since he entered the court as an official, I have no family to rely on. I have always worked diligently and never interfered in the family''s business."
"But I don''t believe it because I said that the Zhang family suppressed Jifang. Back then, the Zhang family saved a large amount of family business, but who doesn''t know that the Zhang family has many descendants, and every now and then another unfilial descendant has been produced. The family business has long been almost defeated. With this legitimate branch, there is only one banknote bank, and the management is still half dead."
"Now that the Zhang family has declined long ago, how can we suppress anyone?"
Mr. Zhang''s tears were falling, but he still didn''t cry. The action of wiping his tears was very exciting.
It seems like someone is touched by a sad part.
Qin Chi stood still.
After hearing what Mr. Zhang said, he just wanted to say that life is like a play, all depends on acting.
Let’s make a vow first, and then mention that our ancestors and Taizu conquered the world, which shows that the Zhang family was loyal to the Daxia Dynasty. When talking about the decline of the family, they cried sadly.
Tears are not only a weapon for women.
Sometimes when men cry, it is even more touching.
Now, when Emperor Cheng of Ming originally saw the memorial of the Huai''an prefect, the anger that had aroused in his heart has now been reduced by half before he knew it. Then, Emperor Mingcheng looked at Qin Chi with his eyes.
Before Emperor Cheng of Ming spoke.
Qin Chi took the lead and said with a final say: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
"Accurate." Emperor Ming Cheng said.
Qin Chi spoke clearly and said calmly: "I think what Mr. Zhang said is reasonable. In order to prove the innocence of the Zhang family, I suggest that Your Majesty hand over the matter to the Jinyiwei for investigation. The Jinyiwei is Your Majesty''s person, so there is no need to worry that anyone dares to deceive his superiors and hide his subordinates and abuse his power during the investigation."
Emperor Cheng of Ming has not spoken yet.
Mr. Zhang was shocked.
Many officials in the hall wanted to say, "As long as you offend anyone, don''t offend Qin Qi''an."
This person is really cruel!
Let the Jinyiwei investigate, and if there is nothing wrong, you can find out a lot of things. Those present do not believe that Zhang''s family can stand the investigation.
Master Wen Ge frowned, "I have to worry about the Jinyiwei for a little thing. Is there no one available to my great Xia Dynasty? To put it bluntly, this matter is just a competition among merchants."
These words made Emperor Mingcheng, who was supposed to be the one who was supposed to hesitate.
This matter can be said to be big or small.
Emperor Ming Cheng thought it was a big deal, but he was defeated by others. Isn’t it a big deal?
However, in the eyes of these old ministers, it was a trivial matter.
Qin Chi slowly spoke again: "I heard that Master Ge, this is a bad statement. Just now, Minister Zhang swears that he will not betray Daxia. Even if I have not read the content of the memorial, I can still hear that it is not simple. It is already related to the safety of the country. Isn''t it still a big deal?"
Master Wen Ge looked at Qin Chi suddenly.
When he reaches his current position, there is no younger generation who dares to refute him. Qin Chi is undoubtedly the person Wen Ge Lao dislikes now.
Those who disrespect the elders will not be of great use.
