Chapter 74: Resolute condemnation of Sushun (1)

On the first day of April, the emperor moved to the Old Summer Palace, and everything was settled. He then recruited Luo Bingzhang to the high-rise and long-lasting palace. He was led by Su Shunzhi and performed the ceremony as a ritual. "When will you leave the capital?"

"Yes, I want to leave the capital to take office after your resignation on the third day of the fourth month."

"After printing is taken, can there be a charter for government affairs?"

Luo Bingzhang was stunned. He became this official, performed this ceremony, and exchanged and greeted each other in the officialdom. He was just a set of ways to summon the officials and officials to sort out the exchanges and exchanges, such as money and grain.

But the emperor suddenly asked, thinking that he must have been moved. He thought about it and replied, "When I stepped down as Xiangfu, my subordinates saw me off for me. Although it was a friendship between colleagues and could not be refuted, I thought that although today has been peaceful for a long time, the lives of the people are not well-off in the end. If I were to be a minister, I ordered my subordinates to collect taxes from many parties, not only would I not be able to see it, but it also did not match the emperor's lenient administration and loving the people's holy heart. Therefore, I would like to say everything, and I would refuse, and only bring my family and servants to the north alone."

"I dare not say that I love the people, but I have a lot of attachment to the people in Hunan Province. I think that the people who are directly concerned about are all because of my emperor's holy heart. I dare not take the lead in the province as a province, but I also dare not take the lead in the province and ask for more information."

"If you have this mind, I want to pay attention to the people's love to you, and business is just around the corner." The emperor said, "I just hope that after you arrive at the payroll, you will not change as time goes by and follow the trend, and become a foolish official, corrupt official, or stolen official like a dog."

"Yes, I keep in mind the emperor's teachings today, uphold the heart of a great prince, and dare not waste it for time."

"A few days ago, you submitted a memorandum on building a railway in the province. I have approved it. After you go on, you will first investigate the geography and try not to destroy the land and graves of the people. If you really can't move it, you must also tell me carefully and follow the previous examples of Jiangning. All I want to say to you is that railway construction is a benefit to the country and the people. If such a move hurts the hearts of the people, I will first ask you for your responsibility."

"Yes." Luo Bingzhang was overjoyed and replied, "The emperor's love for the people is known to everyone. After his ministers go down, they will never dare to hurt the people for official business, and they will not dare to allow officials who are invited to reward and to treat the people as the officials."

He thought about it and said that when he was in charge, Gui Liang made a report to the emperor for his greed for the railway worker. Then he thought, he felt that it was unnecessary. There was no basis at the moment, and Gui Liang's errands were not at all connected with him. Why should he sue? It would be better to wait until the project was officially prepared, and all kinds of expenses were paid, and the amount of money was paid is reported truthfully. There was no need to sue him. Some people in the court would take the initiative to make suggestions from the side.

Let Luo Bingzhang kneel out and kneel out, and the emperor called Sushun in again. Although he once again let him regain his original position, the emperor has not had any good face to him for many days. Not only does he no longer have the warmth of the past, but he seems to have seen his enemies. This day is no exception. Sushun saw the emperor's face tight and stared at him. He had a ghost in his heart and dared not look at each other. He knelt down to salute, "Master?"

"Sushun, I ask you, how much property have you accumulated over the past few years?"

Sushun was most afraid of the emperor asking about this, so he opened his mouth with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, I know I'm wrong, and I will never dare to..."

"I'm asking you now, how much property do you have?" The emperor rushed to interrupt him. "If you can't explain clearly, I will immediately send an order to the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help you calculate?"

Su Shun was shocked. Letting these people "help" calculate by themselves is equivalent to raiding the house? He was panicked in his heart, sobbing and climbing forward a few steps, and then heading to the front of the imperial throne, "Master, the slave does not listen to his master's teachings, acts in a panic. Over the years, he has received gifts from various provinces and bribes, and the total number is around 20 million taels."

The emperor was silent and did not speak for a long time. Sushun knelt on the ground, frightened in his heart, and he couldn't even use his brain, and said randomly, "Master, the slave is willing to take out all the things he has asked for and hand them over to the court one by one? I just want the emperor to spare the slave this time, right?"

The emperor sighed faintly, "Sushun, you are by my side, accompanying you for many years, and have some ancestral friendship. Although you have no choice but to let you suffer the humiliation of those lowly prisoners. Go down, I will give you another decree in the future."

Sushun burst into tears. He knew that after saying goodbye, he immediately had the order to give death to the mansion! "Emperor, the slave has no responsibilities and did not dare to pray for the emperor's forgiveness. However, I asked the emperor to consider that he had served the emperor for many years, so he would devote all his property to the national treasury. The slave was willing to join the army and serve the country!"

The emperor was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that it was his own words that made Sushun misunderstand. He had no intention of killing Sushun. Although this slave stretched out his hands everywhere, it was different from Zai Quan who had executed him fiercely back then. The latter could be said to be a mess and confused. Even if he died, he would only lack a machine for making manure. Although Sushun? Although he was greedy, he was a capable official after all. Moreover, when it comes to the courage to eliminate old ills, the ability to measure talents, and know people and responsibilities, even Yi was not below.

However, the greed and ink trends are not eliminated, and the government of the world is unclear. In the capital, the most recognized greed is Sushun! If a superior person does not do anything to greed and ink, how can he control the officials of the Ganges in the world? Therefore, the first step he has to do is to send Sushun out first. It is best to find a place of poverty and poverty for a few years. When he is freed up, he can transfer him to the capital for use. At that time, he will find some compensation methods and comfort.

Unexpectedly, Su Shun realized the mistake and thought he was going to kill him. The emperor was amused and angry, and kicked him away, "Who said I want to kill you? Get away from me! A dog slave who was afraid of life and death, if he had known that he would beg for mercy now, you should have shrunk your hands shorter earlier!"

Hearing the emperor's tone there was signs of warming up, Su Shun hurriedly wiped away his tears, "Master, aren't you a killer slave?"

"Although you can be exempted from your death penalty, after all, everyone in Beijing has been making trouble in the past few years. I am not willing to deal with it. You can't do any more errands in Beijing. You can take up a job in other provinces." He said, "I have chosen a place for you, Zezhou Prefecture, Shanxi. You can go there and become a few prefects."

Sushun felt sad. With the honor of the former minister, Minister of the Interior, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was demoted to the prefect of a province. It was really ruined. Moreover, demotion is different from punishment. If the punishment is only one decree, it can be cancelled. However, demotion is much worse. It always has to turmoil in the officialdom and get up one level after another. It took a long time!

However, he knew even more that the emperor was already very tolerant of his greed. Once the imperial preface answered that there was something unsatisfactory, it would be just a matter of one sentence to give him death! With a bead of tears in his eyes, he knelt down to thank him, "Slave received the order, thank you."

"Sushun, do you feel wronged? I have demoted you to the fourth-rank minor official, do you think it is a responsibility for not being punished?"

"I dare not! Is the thunder and rain dew a blessing? Because what the thunder and rain have done for several years, even if the emperor and the slaves understand the truth and punishment, it is also the slaves who blame him. Now that the emperor is safeguarding his holy heart and the servants are not as good as they can, how dare they feel resentment and grievance?"

"If you think this way, you still have a good place to be tamed." The emperor stared at him. He didn't say anything for a long time. Just when Su Shun felt the power of heaven was unpredictable, he stood up first, "Come in with me."

Sushun didn't know what was going on, so he followed him into the side hall inside. The emperor ascended to his seat and waved his hand, "You go down first, Sushun stay."

After sending Yang Saner, Liufu, Jingyu and others out, Su Shun felt that things were extraordinary, so he rushed to take a few steps, fell down on his knees, but did not dare to ask, just waiting.

"Sushun, today's words come out of my mouth and into your ears. If a third person knows, don't say that you are in Shanxi, even if you hide at the end of the world, I will have to take your life. You must not mislead yourself. Hum?"

"Yes. Master, don't worry, what the master said to the slave today, I will let it rot in my stomach all my life. Even if I rest, I will have to stuff my mouth with a towel before going to bed."

The emperor laughed at him, "It doesn't need to be like this. In less than three years, all the people in the world will know my hard work." As he said, he curled his smile, "Since the collection of business courses, the country's use has been abundant, the treasury is abundant, and the people of all provinces in the world are stable. The only thing that can be considered is that greed is becoming more and the officials are not clear. I am going to use three years to work together to fill my own unhealthy trend with national use! At that time, no matter who he is, no matter which level of official he is, whether he is a big boss in the capital or a senior in the Eight Banners, as long as there is evidence, he will teach the national law, kill what should be killed, and withdraw what should be withdrawn. The people will be given a prosperous age of the sea and clear river banquet."

He raised his head and said in his own vision, and suddenly lowered his head again, looking at Sushun with a regret, "Before this, I will be tired of you, a dog slave!"

Su Shun knew all the holy intentions, and suddenly burst into tears like a child, "Your Majesty, how can you repay the servants for your kindness? It's just that the servants are not good at their best, and they can't...wuwu..."

"Shut up. I have something to say to you." The emperor interrupted his crying, "Luofu?"

Liufu flashed in, "Master, what is the mission?"

"I took water and washed the servant's face. The tears and snot were so disgusting."

Liufu was amused in his heart. When Su Shun met and stood up, he pulled him out together.

After washing up, I took a hand towel to clean the water stains, Sushun entered the hall again to bow down, "Master?"

"Tell me the serious thing. When you go to Shanxi, don't ignore the top of the peak because you were in the center and were in the official business exchanges. If you know that you are arrogant and domineering in your post and do not listen to the top of the peak, please be careful."

"When this official performs this ritual, the servant understands it, and he will definitely do things in a straightforward manner and be honest."

"You are quite different when doing things in a regular manner; are you worthy of being innocent? "The emperor stared at him and cursed fiercely, "Sushun, if you still don't change your greedy nature when you were in Shanxi, do you really think I can't bear to kill you?"

"Master, don't worry, I will never dare to accept bribes after this matter. If the master heard that the slave still had such evil deeds in the capital, he would stop himself before the emperor issued an order."

"You worked in Zezhou Prefecture, and your county in Yangling, Qinshui and other counties are extremely poor and weak. The people are under enough food and food. Even in the sixth year of Xianfeng, there was a case of selling children and daughters. No matter how you do it or what method you use, I will change the current situation of the declining people's livelihood in the local area. If you do it well, there will be opportunities for you and my monarch and ministers to meet each other during my Western tour in the future. If you do not do it well, it only means that you are not worthy of being a prefect. Change the magistrate and go to the magistrate!"

"Don't worry, within three years, the slaves must have a great change in the customs and conditions of the people. The people have enough food and clothing, and are grateful for the kindness of God."

"Of course it's good to be able to do it." The emperor suddenly remembered something, "I have almost confused you. You handed over the errands in Beijing, and before leaving the capital, register the bribes and silver collected in your mansion over the past few years, and handed over to the treasury - don't think that if you demoted you a level, you can get the money safe? There is no such cheap thing in the world."

******************************************

"The former minister of the Imperial Affairs Office, Minister of the Interior, Minister of War, Minister of Revenue Sushun, has been with him for many years and has no suggestions for good governance. Last year, I discussed the new policy, and the minister was perfunctory and evaded, and the victim was dishonest! He should have made a strict discussion, but he thought that he had no major mistakes other than that, so he was relieved of all responsibilities and was appointed as the governor of Zezhou Prefecture, Shanxi!"

Zaiyuan took a breath and continued to recite loudly, "Also, since Sushun was on duty, he has done many unrighteous things, and he regards me as his glory as his greed and cruelty. After several years, he has accumulated tens of millions of property. It can be seen that he is usually unruly and acts freely. On the day of the order, the Minister of Military Affairs, Zaiyuan, and the Nine Gates, confiscated all Sushun's property, bribed the items he left behind, registered and handed over to the treasury, and rewarded him with this."

After hearing Zaiyuan recited the edict, Sushun respectfully touched three resounding sounds in front of the incense table, "Sushun, I will receive the edict, thank you."

He stood up and looked left and right. Li Ciming, Long Rulin, Huang Xi, and Gao Xinxie all had blue and white faces, and they were speechless and could not say a word.

Even if these people are like this, there is no need to mention the miser of the mansion, and the servants don’t need to mention it. Those who are timid are already scared to cry out. The huge courtyard is full of miserable miserable miserable.

Sushun sighed, rolled up his horse's sleeves, and bowed to Zaiyuan and Yi Qiong, who was with him. Fu Lian said, "The two princes are dissatisfied with serving Sushun, so they have made them work hard."

Zaiyuan never expected that the emperor's anger would start for no reason. When he shouted at Zhanfutang this morning, it was still fine. After the discussion, the emperor suddenly took out Sushun's affairs. Starting from the fact that he promoted himself to the Ministry of Justice as the nine-sect admiral, the left wing chief, and the remunerations were all the way. He entrusted the former minister and the minister of the Interior Department to the heavy responsibility. He did not want to become a self-reliant and a bastard. He raised such a bastard by his side for nothing!

Sushun also mentioned the Military Affairs Office, "Weng Xincun, you are a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, assisting the Emperor, and assisting all officials. Sushun has always been famous in Beijing. After only a few years of entering the officialdom, he has accumulated tens of millions of dollars. As a Cabinet Bachelor, do you know nothing about it?"

The thunderous anger scared Weng to the point of meeting again and again, saying that he was guilty. The emperor was still angry and immediately issued an order to relieve Su Shun of all his responsibilities and be appointed as the prefect of Shanxi.

Yi Qiong is kind-hearted. Thinking of Su Shun's arrogance for several years, he felt sad for him when he ended up like this. The imperial edict should not be disobeyed. All he could do was to take care of his descendants.

Thinking of this, he ordered people to call Huishan over and said comfortably as an elder, "Go to your fourth uncle and study hard in the future. You Ama has contributed to the country and is a talent. You must learn his talents in the future, and don't learn his bad habits."

Speaking of this, he turned to Sushun's housekeeper: "I will send someone to send you out. I will hand over your little master to you! You have to show your conscience. Otherwise, hum!"

He stretched his face and scared Sushun's housekeeper to death: "I dare not!"

"I don't know you dare." After saying this, Yi Qiong ordered Fu Lian to send Huishan and the housekeeper, along with the people and things to Prince Zheng's mansion.

The rest of the people wanted to take advantage of this, but Yi Qiong was already prepared for the inspection and ordered the interception and inspection, and the things they had robbed openly and secretly, and the things they stuffed in their arms were searched. The most unlucky thing was a monk in the mansion, and a Han jade pendant tied to his trousers was confiscated as a counter-attack. "You can't take this!" The man protested, "This piece of jade is the family tradition of the three generations!"

The person who searched him was in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He looked down on the tradition of the Five Banners and called him a "teacher". So when he heard his words, he was furious: "***! The teacher is a thief and throws the people of your family's three generations of ancestors!" After that, he slapped him on the top and a boot under him, and kicked him into a somersault.

"No beating!" Yi Qiong and Fu Lian said loudly, and saw a servant taking advantage of the opportunity to search and tease the maid, and shouted again: "No be frivolous!"

Just because this is not allowed or that, Yi Qiong sets strict enforcement rules for everyone. After the search and inspection of those who took advantage of the situation, they were driven into empty houses. Except for the chefs in the big kitchen who could serve as usual, and two or three accountants who had to do their business with them, the rest of the people who were up and down were temporarily under house arrest.

"Everyone spread out and do things separately!"

On the other hand, there are several classes that have been assigned in advance, each class has at least three people, at most five or six people. The highest position is used as temporary trainees, without taking action, only using their eyes, and taking responsibility for inspection. The rest of the points and half of the accounts are counted, and the house is called "log" and must be registered.

The mansion was in chaos, and I didn't know where Chengshan heard the news. He ran from Zheng Wang's Mansion to his home. Seeing so many vicious officials standing in the yard, Ama, the mother was standing aside with a bitter face. The child was so scared that he screamed and burst into tears.

The servant who followed him from the Zheng Palace hugged the little master, covered his mouth, pulled him to the side, and scared him randomly, "Don't cry. If the prince gets angry and catches the slave, you can't play with the young master."

Chengshan was so scared that he didn't dare to cry anymore. He looked at Ama and his mother in tears, "What...what should I do?"

"No hurry, no hurry."

After a while, Duan Hua also received the servant's reply and hurriedly ran over, "Lao Wu, what's going on?"

Yi Qiong had no choice but to explain to him a few words, "This is not OK! I want to enter the garden and ask for help!"

Su Shun grabbed his brother and shook his head with a wry smile, "It's hard to reply to God's will, so I don't have to pay for me, and I will lose myself out of thin air."

"Then, just watch... Brothers' Mansion suffer from disaster?" Duan Hua was really angry, opened his mouth, and was about to say something in his heart. He just saw that the yard was full of officials from the Interior Affairs Office and the clan's office. He said a wrong sentence and passed it to the emperor's ears. It was an unsolvable crime! He swallowed it back.

Su Shun saw the truth in his heart. This time, the emperor and he deliberately acted on it. Even his wife and children would never know about it. He had to let his brother worry about him for a few days, and wait until the major event was settled and he would return to the court before he could repay him.

The assets of the Sushun family were registered one by one, listed in the book, and there were no less than 120 large boxes. Most of these were obtained by Sushun and had to be handed over to the treasury. Some were accumulated by his official bags. According to the examples of dealing with Zaiquan, the emperor would definitely give the emperor a kind order - at least, Sushun's family could continue to live.

Yi Qi and his friends finished their errands and returned to the Old Summer Palace to submit an order, "Is everything safe in Sushun's house?" the emperor asked, "Have you said something about this slave?"

"He just said that he would let down the emperor's high hopes and never get a hundred deaths. The emperor's disposal was like Heng's peace and a grand duke. He regretted his past mistakes and was willing to go to Shanxi Province to serve in one place, to serve on behalf of Tianshoumu, and to atone for his sins."

"The poor people must have something to hate." The emperor cursed a few angrily, and then said, "The income he has earned in the past few years, and the amount of money he has greedy for ink and money, must be calculated carefully by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Revenue. It should be what he deserves, and it will be returned to his family and children, thinking that the need for life will be confiscated."

"Yes. In addition to punishing Sushun, the emperor also had kind thoughts, taking care of his family, women and children, and not suffering from hunger and death. His brother led Sushun's mansion to thank the emperor for his kindness."

"Lao Wu, you are a kind-hearted person, but if you can't use you to feel sad for him! Just talk about me, for the sake of greed, he has been admonishing me many times over the years. On the surface, he promised to be louder than anyone else. He turned his face and did not miss it!" He sighed and said, "To be honest, I can't go to evil, and I always think that he has a little effort in my hand..."

Yi Qiong and Zai Yuan both had stupid words and said, and heard the emperor's words of self-suppression. They just felt that it was not appropriate, but they could not think of anything to persuade him, so they had to bow to the ground and meet, "Su Shun is a slave, why should the emperor bother with such a person? The country's laws are brilliant and there is always a place to go. I thought that after this, he would learn to repent in the future."

"Su Shun and my brother said that he had thought of the emperor's resignation, but he was afraid that the emperor would become more angry when he saw him, so he asked me to thank the emperor for his kindness and immediately leave the capital west after three days."

"It's better not to see each other, so you won't be sad. Tell him back that if he can do a harmonious job in office, he will have a chance to see me in the future; if he still remains unwilling to repent and cannot change his old habits, I will not be so gentle if I take action."

"Zha, the emperor's words, I will definitely speak to Sushun word for word." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation from ***(***.***). ***. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
