Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

Chapter 147: Inspecting the Ministry of Accounts

Golden Palace.

Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Household Department, sent the factory guard flying, and rushed towards Zhou Chen who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Fan Yongdou's goal is very simple, that is, not to survive, but to die.

It is best to be able to injure the emperor Zhou Chen on the dragon chair, and it doesn't matter if he can't be injured. He is nothing more than being killed on the spot, which is better than being sent to the Dongchang prison to be tortured and suffer.

"presumptuous."

However, just as Fan Yongdou knocked the factory guard away and jumped up, Cao Zhengchun's figure had already appeared in front of Fan Yongdou.

As soon as Cao Zhengchun appeared in front of Fan Yongdou, he directly reached out and patted Fan Yongdou.

Fan Yongdou's expression changed.

Subconsciously want to escape.

only.

Under Cao Zhengchun's powerful aura, Fan Yongdou couldn't dodge Cao Zhengchun's palm at all.

"puff."

Cao Zhengchun's palm landed on Fan Yongdou's shoulder.

Fan Yongdou's figure that had just leaped up was like a deflated ball and knelt down on the ground softly, returning to its original position.

Fan Yongdou opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Fan Yongdou looked at Cao Zhengchun and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

"Rebellious officials and thieves."

"Dare to act presumptuously in the Golden Luan Hall, and even want to assassinate His Majesty."

"I really don't know how to live or die."

Cao Zhengchun looked at Fan Yongdou who had no strength to resist with a gloomy face, and said coldly.

If it weren't for the fact that Fan Yongdou was still useful, Cao Zhengchun would have killed this madman who dared to act presumptuously in the Golden Luan Hall just now.

At this time, Dian Wei, who was guarding outside the hall, rushed in with the imperial army.

Seeing that Fan Yongdou had been captured by Cao Zhengchun, Dian Wei withdrew the imperial army and withdrew from the Golden Luan Hall again.

Fan Yongdou was also directly dragged out by Dongchang.

Fan Yongdou knew what was waiting for Fan Yongdou next, and so did the civil and military officials in the hall.

From Fan Yongdou's violence to Fan Yongdou's being dragged out, it only took a blink of an eye.

The civil and military officials in the main hall basically didn't come back to their senses.

When the civil and military officials in the main hall came back to their senses, Fan Yongdou had already been dragged out.

The faces of all the civil and military officials in the main hall were tense, and their minds were spinning non-stop.

No one expected that Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Household Department, dared to scold the faint king on the dragon chair in the Golden Luan Hall, and violently wanted to kill the one on the dragon chair.

This really shocked the civil and military officials in the hall.

With Fan Yongdou making such a fuss, the Hubu Shangshu Mansion was completely ruined.

Maybe, even Jiexiu Fan's family can't fall.

Originally, Fan Yongdou's corruption was not a small crime, but it would not implicate Jiexiu Fan's family.

But as soon as this kind of commotion, the nature changes, so it's hard to say.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment both saw the deep meaning of Fan Yongdou's actions, and their faces turned ugly.

Fan Yongdou did this because he didn't want to be arrested and sent to Dongchang, where he endured the torture of Dongchang. He really wanted to die.

But why not force Jiexiu Fan's family and them!

Zhou Chen on the dragon chair didn't change his expression from the beginning to the end. He was always so calm, like a pool of stagnant water, making people unable to see any joy or anger.

Zhou Chen looked down at the civil and military officials below, and said, "You all heard what Cao Zhengchun said just now!"

"This is the official of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the majestic Minister of the Household Department, who is actually such a moth."

"Don't talk about greedy ink and disaster relief money, but dare to call me a stupid king. If you want to assassinate me, death is really not a pity."

"How many of you are like Hubu Shangshu, you know in your heart."

"I have given you the opportunity to stand up and bow your head to plead guilty, since you don't know how to cherish it."

"Then I won't say anything more."

At this point, Zhou Chen looked at Cao Zhengchun who had returned to him and stood by.

"Cao Zhengchun, draw up an order."

"Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, embezzled disaster relief funds, accepted bribes, offended Tianwei, and plotted to assassinate me in a rebellious manner. The crime is heinous and cannot be punished."

"Copy and destroy the House of Ministers of the Household Department, and punish the nine clans."

As soon as this word came out.

The civil and military officials in the main hall trembled all over, and all of them changed their expressions.

It's nothing to copy and destroy the House of Ministers of the Household Department.

But this is a big problem for Zhulian Nine Clans.

Hubu Shangshu Fan Yongdou was born in Jiexiu Fan's family, although he has separated from Jiexiu Fan's family, he is still a member of Jiexiu Fan's family.

Isn't Zhou Chen going to kill the Nine Clans, and Jiexiu and Fan's family too?

Although Baiguan had expected it in his heart just now, he still couldn't help being shocked when he heard the emperor Zhou Chen's decree.

Jiexiu's Fan family, like Boling's Cui family, is a wealthy family among the seven great families.

His Majesty first exterminated the nine clans of the Boling Cui family, and then decreed to exterminate the Jiexiu Fan family.

It's hard for Baiguan not to be shocked.

"besides."

"From now on, check the household department."

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment are responsible for this matter together, and Dongchang will assist in arresting people from the side."

"Any officials involved in corruption, corruption, and bending the law for personal gain, no matter who they are, will be taken down as soon as they are found out."

"Anyone who dares to resist will be executed."

Zhou Chen glanced at Liu Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and then ordered coldly.

The expressions of the civil and military officials below changed again when they heard the words.

Check the Ministry of Accounts?

This is really going to happen.

The Household Department is the purse of the Great Zhou court, and there is no telling how many interests are involved in it.

Once checked, it will definitely involve a lot of officials.

Especially the officials in the household department almost fell to the ground when they heard Zhou Chen's will.

When it comes to checking the household department, the first unlucky people are definitely those officials who work in the household department.

Even the loyal ministers such as Minister of the Ministry of War, Marquis of Wei Wu, and Zhou Xian, the Eighth Sage King, felt their hearts pounding at this moment.

Your Majesty is going to check the household department. Is this a preparation to clean up all the civil and military officials?

"The minister obeys the order."

Liu Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment both bowed immediately.

"Retire."

After Zhou Chen finished speaking, he directly announced his resignation and left the Golden Luan Hall.

When Zhou Chen's figure completely disappeared, most of the ministers came back to their senses.

"Your Majesty ordered to check the household department?"

"Your Majesty wants to..."

Most of the civil and military officials looked at each other.

They all realized that in the process of checking the household department, an unknown number of officials would be involved.

Among them, there may be one of them, or a few, or even a dozen.

The faces of all the officials were extremely dignified. What happened early this morning really made them feel a little relieved for a while.

First, Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Household Department, was taken down by the one on the dragon chair, and he also ordered to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan, and punish the nine clans.

This Jiexiu Fan family, one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is the target of being punished.

It was the one on the dragon chair who wanted to order an investigation of the household department.

Each of these things, it can be said, is not a trivial matter.

All civil and military officials had to be careful and cautious.

...

After leaving the palace.

All the officials hurried away with heavy expressions on their faces.

Because they knew that next, no matter whether it was Chaotang or Luoyang, there would be a big earthquake.

No one knows which officials will be affected by the earthquake.

Therefore, they must go back quickly and prepare for the earthquake.

Compared with those officials who hurriedly left, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and Prime Minister Yuan Bo were much calmer.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and Prime Minister Yuan Bo walked out of the palace together without haste.

Then, the two left the palace gate together.

...

Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the meeting hall.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Minister of the Ministry of Justice sat in the hall with solemn faces.

Besides the two of them, the housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion was also standing respectfully aside.

"Master, what can I order?"

The butler asked the Prime Minister Yuan Bo who was on the main seat.

As soon as Prime Minister Yuan Bo came back, he immediately summoned him, the housekeeper.

From the housekeeper's point of view, it seemed that there was something important for him to do.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo didn't care about the presence of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and said directly to the steward, "Steward, immediately spread the news that His Majesty wants to kill Jiexiu's Fan family, and don't be targeted by Dongchang's hawks and dogs."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo knew that Jiexiu's Fan family was one of the seven great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty, just like his Yuan family.

In Luoyang, there is a news channel belonging to their Fan family.

As long as the news that the man in the palace ordered to kill Jiexiu's Fan family spread, the Fan family's news channel in Luoyang would surely reach Jiexiu's Fan family.

This time, it is not like killing the Cui family of Boling.

The one in the palace didn't prepare in advance at all, and don't even think about repairing the plank road and secretly hiding Chen Cang.

At that time, Jiexiu's Fan family received the news and made preparations.

The one in the palace who wanted to kill Jiexiu's Fan family would not be as easy as killing Boling's Cui family.

"Yes, sir."

A gleam flashed in the housekeeper's eyes, and he immediately understood what Prime Minister Yuan Bo meant, and turned to leave the meeting hall.

After the butler left, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice frowned and looked at the Prime Minister Yuan Bo who was sitting on the throne; "Prime Minister, Your Majesty asked me and the Minister of Industry to be responsible for checking the Ministry of Households. What is your Majesty planning?"

"Shouldn't it be Du Ruhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, or Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the Eight Wise Kings?"

"Why did you let me and Liu Ye, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, investigate the Ministry of Households together!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice said with a puzzled face.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice really doesn't understand what the emperor Zhou Chen's intention is to do this?

It stands to reason that Du Ruhui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in the court, is the emperor Zhou Chen's confidant.

When it comes to checking the Ministry of Households, the two most talented persons should be the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Industry.

Even if it wasn't Du Ruhui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, it should be the Minister of Military Affairs, Marquis Mighty and the Eight Sage Kings.

It's not his turn, the minister of the Ministry of punishment!

After all, compared with Du Ruhui and the others, Du Ruhui and the others are the cronies of the man in the palace.

And he, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, in the eyes of the man in the palace, is not considered to be a confidant of the man in the palace.

But now the one in the palace asked him, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who was not a cronies, to investigate the Ministry of Household Affairs, which made people a little puzzled.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice would not simply think that it was the man in the palace who treated him as a trusted confidant.

Hearing what the minister of the Ministry of punishment said, Yuan Bo raised his eyes and glanced at the minister of the Ministry of punishment; "I can't figure out the truth about what the man in the palace is planning."

"However, no matter what calculations that person in the palace has, you have to be more careful."

"The check of the household department cannot be completed in a short period of time, so there is no rush for this."

"Fan Yongdou is most worried about the truth now, and your Zheng family should have told you about the King of Shu."

"Now that Fan Yongdou has been arrested and taken to Dongchang, and the Fan family has been ordered to kill by the palace, this is not a good thing for us."

"If Fan Yongdou couldn't bear the torture of Dongchang and said something that shouldn't be said, you should understand what will happen."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo said with a serious face.

First, the trouble of Cui Yongyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was solved. Now Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Ministry of Households, has also entered the prison of Dongchang, which has become a trouble.

This made Prime Minister Yuan Bo worry a lot.

If Fan Yongdou was pried open by Dongchang, then all the things they are planning with the King of Shu will be exposed.

When the time comes, their plans will come to nothing, so naturally there is no need to say more about their fate.

This is not counting those things in the four northwestern prefectures.

If Fan Yongdou revealed the affairs of the four northwestern prefectures again, then they would follow in the footsteps of the Cui family in Boling, and would have no place to stand in Dazhou.

Regarding what the Prime Minister Yuan Bo said, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment also looked dignified.

Of course he understood what Prime Minister Yuan Bo said, Fan Yongdou is now an unstable factor.

Once Dongchang's torture was unbearable, and Dongchang pried his mouth open, it would definitely not only affect the prime minister and the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

Instead, it will affect the two great families and a large part of the King of Shu.

"This Fan Yongdou is really a bastard."

"Originally, the man in the palace just took him down for corruption, as long as he confesses some things in this regard, wouldn't it be fine?"

"But he was lucky. He violently wanted to assassinate His Majesty directly on the Golden Luan Hall, and he made such a big deal."

"Not only did Jiexiu's Fan family get involved, but we were also forced to have no room."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice said with a gloomy face.

In the early court, Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, violently wanted to kill the emperor Zhou Chen. Both the Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment guessed the deep meaning of Fan Yongdou's actions.

That is, Fan Yongdou wanted to use this method to involve Jiexiu and Fan's family, thereby also forcing the prime minister Yuan Bo and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

Let them unite with the King of Shu as soon as possible.

In this way, once it succeeds.

Then Fan Yongdou's family will definitely survive and will be released by the King of Shu.

He, Fan Yongdu, used his death to protect his family. It has to be said that Fan Yongdou's scheme was rather profound.

The prime minister Yuan Bo sighed; "He wants to use this method to give his family a chance to survive."

"Otherwise, they will all die."

"However, his act of violently trying to kill the person on the dragon chair in the Golden Luan Hall really forced us to succeed."

"It seems that we have to find a chance to meet the King of Shu as soon as possible."

"This incident has already happened to Fan Yongdou and the Fan family. It cannot be delayed any longer."

"Lest you have long nights and dreams."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo said with a serious face.

With Fan Yongdou's disturbance at the Golden Palace, Jiexiu's Fan family was involved, Prime Minister Yuan Bo knew that they did not have much time.

If the cha in the palace felt something, it would be too late for them to change another day.

At that time, it will be much more difficult.

Hearing this, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment also nodded; "Yes! Fan Yongdou and the Fan family have had an accident, so we really have to see the King of Shu as soon as possible."

"It is estimated that the King of Shu also knew at this time that Fan Yongdou was arrested and taken to Dongchang, and the Fan family was ordered to be killed by the palace."

"He should have the same worries as us."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice flashed his eyes and said.
