C242 Give Me Back My Ways(2)
"What a big tone!" The Fourteenth Prince was extremely furious, but his heart was inexplicably flustered. "Your Majesty heard it. Fu Si kept saying that he disrespected the Fourteenth Prince. It can be seen that Fifth Brother was wronged yesterday."
"Bastard! Where did Fifth Brother come from? Halberd Ribbon is a criminal!" Fu Ting's eyes were wide open as he loudly counted the several counts of crimes on the Halberd Ribbon. "Yesterday, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice did not take the Halberd Ribbon's property. Countless jewels and jade artifacts were mixed with a certain number of offerings." He reached out to take the account book that Zhou Sun Zhong handed over and opened it. "The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Justice checked and saved it. The Dragon Phoenix Jade Screen, Coral Jade Tree, Glazed Gold Blue Field Jade Bottle and more than ten pieces were not rewarded by the late king and His Majesty. Everyone, please think about it. The emperor did not reward the Trident Ribbon, but he got it. What kind of crime should this person be guilty of? "
Minister Ran immediately stepped out and answered, "The number of tributes offered by the imperial court is shocking. The crime should be beheaded in the city, and the family members should sit together."
"Why isn't it called injustice?" Fu Tingzhi looked at the Fourteenth King with a smile that was neither a smile nor a smile. "Besides that, he also took out three million taels of gold and twelve million taels of silver. There are countless silk threads, and there are more than ten thousand of them. They are worth a million taels of silver. " He looked at Ji Cheng. "May I ask Your Majesty, has Your Majesty ever rewarded so much in the past two years?"
He turned around and said, "Everyone, if it wasn't for Your Majesty's reward, where did this thief come from?" He raised the account book in his hand and shook it. "These are all ironclad evidence of the plundering and killing of the innocent!" Fu Ting was clear that half of the Fifth Prince's wealth was seized during the war. The other half was obtained from Ji Cheng's corruption after he ascended the throne. They were all stolen money.
"Do you know? Artists and small businesses in the capital make a profit of 35,200 years. After the farmers in the suburbs pay a season's tax, they will be rich. If there are more than 9,200 taels, I will be extremely happy. " Fu Zhizhi's voice was trembling as he spoke. "During Emperor Wen's reign, the Fu family only had a fiefdom of 40,000 taels per year. Even so, he still enjoyed endless glory. " He stopped for a moment to suppress his anger. "Twelve million. A year of salt tax from the National Treasury only amounted to eight million. This thief is both greedy and angry. "
"Do you know? His Majesty has been making four dragon robes since he ascended to the throne, and he has been wearing eight every year." The voice of the Pavilion Master suddenly lowered. "His Majesty has said that one dragon robe is made of golden silk, and it is also embedded with coral jewelry that is worth a thousand taels of silver. If I save it, I can move a hundred households. "
"Your Majesty is wise and wise!" All the officials knelt down, some of them actually started to cry.
"Your Majesty even canceled the daily snacks, and only a plate of stir-fried pea review reports. Three meals a day will definitely have a plate of potato and sweet potato, which is equivalent to suffering with the people. " The head of the Talisman Pavilion. Many of the officials saw with their own eyes that there was no need to corroborate: "His Majesty suffered so much that the money he saved was divided up by these bandits. If it fell on the head of the Ding family, he would get one of the ten taels. It is hateful and annoying. "
His angry eyes swept across all the officials in the court, and he shouted decisively, "This official has killed someone, and he still wants to kill. Who dares to stop me?" He threw the account book at the chest of the Fourteenth King. "I, Fu, have long since overstepped my boundaries, and my descendants' roots have been seized by your family. What else is there to be afraid of? " He turned around to look at the Emperor on the throne: "If you want to beat or demote His Majesty, please hurry up, this official still needs to deal with those dirty officials"
" Official Fu, if I punish you, you will become a muddle-headed ruler. " Ji Cheng waved his hand. "Forgive me. I am not guilty."
After hearing this sentence, Fu Tingzhi did not hesitate any longer. "It is difficult to understand the law if the officials do not pursue the matter. If this continues, we will not be able to talk about how to prosper." He glared at the Fourteenth King. "When a country's worm deserves to be killed, I will kill it. Even if it is the Heavenly King, I, Fu, will not tolerate it." He deliberately paused for a moment. "Yesterday, it was just the beginning. Everyone, Fu Si is going to kill someone! "
"Fu Si..." At this moment, the Fourteenth King knew that the seemingly weak Fu Si's will was as hard as steel, but he still refused to show weakness and shouted with his scalp tingling, "This King would like to see what you can do to This King?"
"What?" Fu Ting took a step forward, "Could it be that Your Highness dares to rebel?"
"Fu Si!" The Fourteenth King panicked. "In broad daylight in the throne room, how dare you question me like this?"
"So you don't have the guts, hmph!" Fu Ting snorted coldly. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to do you? If I overstep my authority and kill the King of Greedy Ink, I will at most be stripped of my title. I can afford to lose it." With a wave of his sleeve, he straightened his back. "As a scholar, Fu Si can continue to be an official in the autumn examination next year. However, there is only one life for the Fourteenth King... "
Fu Ting took another step towards the fourteen kings. His charming eyes stared fixedly at the noble king, who was sweating profusely. "Jiao Jie has already been executed by Xu Fangzhi on the spot. His head is still hanging at the Tong City Gateway." After a pause, he said, "Your Highness, if I were you, I would express my apologies and hope that Your Majesty will live on because of the kinship between our flesh and blood. Instead of standing here and struggling to survive. "
The Fourteenth Prince was not stupid. He immediately understood that Fu Si was trying to find a way to protect his own life. His legs immediately went limp. "Your Majesty, Brother Twelve..." Fu Si wailed on the ground, "I am stupid and ignorant, but I am confused! I am indeed just a subordinate in this case. Brother - I beg you to forgive me, brother... "
