Chapter 654 Li Gu's Blessing

Thirty million real money and silver are an astronomical figure that Chai Rong could not even get. In just three years, he got so much money. Li Gu's ability is rare in the world. The more he did this, the more angry Chai Rong became. These court officials were all selfish, thinking about themselves, harming the public and benefiting the private sector, and being unscrupulous.

Li Gu's time period of greed for Mo was mainly during the Chai Rong's southern expedition.

At that time, Li Gu was using the power of the court to deal with Jiangnan. He stole the savings from the treasury, went to Bashu to seek profits, and confronted the overall situation of the court. This alone could cut off Li Gu's head.

Moreover, the huge amount of smuggling was not something that Li Gu could do alone. He involved local officials, garrisons in the northwest, and a large amount of Shu brocade flowed into the capital, and the Sansi Yamen ignored it... Li Gu was their former chief, so did these people also participate in smuggling?

If you think about it carefully, from the court to the local government, from civil officials to military generals, everyone was involved, and none of them were clean.

It is especially hateful that Li Gu privately colluded with the Jiangqing clan of Bashu, and this incident completely exceeded the duties of a minister.

The Jiangqing clan was all smart. With the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the destruction of Shu Kingdom was also in the evening. In order to maintain wealth and glory, they must turn to the Great Zhou.

At this time, Li Gu reached out to Bashu and thought with his toes. He could guess that Li Gu must have been appointed as an official and made a wish under the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In this way, he received unanimous support from Bashu Jiangqing. Without these people's cooperation, he would never have received so much money!

Life and death are the power of the emperor, and Li Gu actually used it for personal gain, which is outrageous!

Of course, Li Gu's struggle to fight Bashu and gather Jiang Qing also played a role, which was to reduce the difficulty of the Great Zhou's march into Shu Kingdom and quickly wiped out Shu Kingdom. Li Gu was considered to have made contributions.

Chai Rong seemed a little moved and wanted to let him go, but Chai Rong quickly realized that Li Gu had not only done these things, but hasn't this old man been involved in so many storms since the Holy Lord returned to Beijing?

He said he had not formed an alliance with Han Dejang, is this credible?

Without Han De's help, could he transport the Shu brocade to the capital?

Who recommended Qi Tongwen?

Han Derang, or Li Gu?

Who came up with the idea of ​​the Six Directions of the East Palace?

Don’t forget that Li Gu is also one of the prince’s masters. He has a great benefit to establishing the Six Rings of the East Palace.

In addition, when Hou Yi's family was treason, they blamed Hou Yi for the discovery of artillery and gunpowder in Yizhou when they handled the case. But in fact, Hou Yi never admitted this matter. If what Hou Yi said was true, what about Li Gu?

Could it be that he did it?

Li Gu said that he was helping the Great Zhou weaken Shu Kingdom. Would he think of the benefits of both sides? Also, after Meng Chang entered the capital, he didn't say anything. Did someone block his mouth? Then he killed someone to silence him and blame others...

"Li Gu, you old man! I will destroy your nine clans!"

Chai Rong is like a violent lion. When he thinks of many storms, he may be involved with Li Gu... Or he is the culprit of the Beijing ** Bureau, Chai Rong is furious!

You should know that during this period, he lost a queen, a concubine, and a beautiful Fei family... Li Gu old thief, you have harmed me a lot!

"I will send an order, torture and torture, and force confessions day and night, and let Li Gu come here!"

Judging from the emperor's appearance, he was almost skinned by Li Gu's cramps and cut them into pieces. Ye Hua couldn't stand it anymore. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying it boldly. Even though Li Gu is hateful, he is at most aggravated. He cannot do so many things alone. I even think that there are still people hiding behind the scenes and not finding them out!"

"There are still people?" Chai Rong chuckled, "Is there anyone with a greater official position than Li Gu?"

"It may not be greater than his official position, nor may it be a single person, but a group of people. They are pushing Li Gu forward, hiding behind Li Gu, shooting cold arrows and slashing knife!" Ye Hua said with his teeth: "The so-called gentleman is not a party, and someone will help him when he is killed. When he is profitable, they will also go together."

Chai Rong sneered: "Those who pursue profits are not gentlemen, but villains! All the people in the dynasty are villains!"

Chai Rong was definitely inspired, and he also understood Ye Hua's words.

Li Gu made a profit by smuggling heavily, and he must have shared the benefits. When others get benefits, they turn a blind eye and tolerate them. As for some other things, these guys are following the flow and following the trend... This includes a very complicated battle.

The old ministers of the previous dynasty, the upstarts of Jiangnan, civil servants and generals, court officials and emperors, even traditional scholars and ministers of the new school... Li Gu's status was very interesting.

He was an important official left by Guo Wei, but he had a deep friendship with Han Xizai. He was a leader of civil servants and Ye Hua's quasi-ally. He was a traditional scholar and the one who knew finance the most. In short, he was an iconic figure. There were too many people who wanted to make money through his case and achieve their unspeakable goals.

As strong as Ye Hua and Chai Rong, they all saw through this situation, but it was useless to see through it. No one could tell what roles the court officials played, and even more so.

Moreover, these people are responsible for the heavy responsibility of the court, so they can't kill them all. Who will do anything to His Majesty the Emperor?

"Ye Qing, as the emperor, I am the supreme emperor. I seem to be powerful in the world. I have a word of the world, but in fact I can do too few things. I can still stumbling around when dealing with a corrupt official, which is too unpleasant!"

Ye Hua said: "The emperor must examine the overall situation and be in mind. It is also appropriate to have some concerns. I think this case does not need to be expanded blindly, but I cannot let go of those corrupt and abused officials. I will start arresting them immediately. From top to bottom, no one who participates in smuggling and provides convenience for smuggling will be left!"

Chai Rong said calmly: "Well, I guess at least dozens of people involved in it. Using their heads is enough to wake up the ministers and let them know how powerful I am!"

...

"Hahaha! Li Gu's old man, I really didn't expect that you would fall so quickly! It was really unexpected!"

Lu Duosun sat alone at a table, with only one pot of wine and a side dish. His family wanted to prepare a few more dishes for him, but he was not willing to do so. Li Gu collapsed because of his insatiable greed. At this time, drinking some poor wine would be a different experience!

Lu Duosun is definitely a genius. He started his career by destroying Buddhism and came first, surpassing Zhao Pu and others, and was ranked as prime minister and held financial power for many years.

Not long ago, Ye Hua talked to him about something, and Lu Duoxun became sensitive to some things that were about to be opened. Although he was frightened, he was more excited.

Ludoson has sufficient confidence that the fire will not burn on himself.

First of all, although he was the Sansi Envoy, he had allocated military supplies in Yangzhou to appease the southeast for three years, and the matter in the capital was not much involved.

Secondly, Li Gu was prime minister for many years, and the people in the three corps were Li Gu's subordinates. After Lu Duosun left Beijing, Li Gu was actually responsible for financial operations, and neither Wang Pu nor Fan Zhi were good at this.

As long as Li Gu is still in court for one day, Lu Duosun is not really a plan!

Old but not dead is a thief. You stole my financial power and you will pay it back now!

Thinking of this, Lu Duosun became happier.

After a few glasses of wine, his face flushed, he was still energetic, stood up, danced and sang, "As the saying goes, the wind rises and the clouds fly, and the power is added to the country and return..."

Before he could finish singing, someone suddenly clapped his face.

"It sounds so nice. At this level, you can go to Xiangguo Temple to sing!"

Lu Duosun was furious, "Which bastard dares to disturb me? I didn't say it, no..." He turned his head and saw that it was a young man who came, without official uniforms, but just a moon-white robe, very simple and even chilling.

It's Ye Hua!

"Oh, my marquis, why are you here without saying a word!"

Lu Duoxun quickly pulled Ye Hua down, poured wine for him, and shouted at the servants, "Go and prepare the dishes, go!"

After Ye Hua sat down, he smiled slightly, "No need to worry, I'm in a bad mood, an old friend is going to die."

"Oh? Who is it? Do I know it?" Ludoson said with concern.

"Of course you know each other!" Ye Hua chuckled, "You might be quite happy!"

"Ah!" Lu Duoxun was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "The Marquis was joking. Your friend is my friend. How could I be happy? It's impossible!"

He quickly denied that Ye Hua didn't care much about Lu Duosun's words. No matter what he said, it was almost like farting for Ye Hua.

"Grandpa Lu, Li Gu committed a big case, a huge case, Your Majesty's imperial pen criticized him, saying that he was the world's number one corrupt official and no one could save him. Grandpa Li was about to die!" Ye Hua sighed, "He once pushed Juntian hard, and I promised to protect him, but he was seeking death by himself, and I had no choice, but I always felt uncomfortable and awkward!"

Lu Duoxun hurriedly said, "The Marquis values ​​love and friendship. Prince Li is old and always supports the backwards, and he also helps me a lot. With a moment of thought, all officials must take it as a warning!"

Ye Hua waved his hand, "Don't say good things, Li Gu is over, there are good and bad things to you, two news, I'll just say it, good, you have 30 million twelve huge sums, and there may be more in the future... The bad is that Li Gu is greedy and uses many people from the Three Divisions, that is, people from the Ministry of Revenue, to help him make money, use the money of the treasury, make a lot of money, and to lose money to the public and private. The amount is so large that it's hard to imagine that the saint has issued an edict to me. If you want to investigate it, you will never tolerate who you are involved, Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Duoxun was stunned for a moment, his heart was pounding. Logically speaking, Li Gu was enough to explain to the world, why did he still have to implicate other people?

Especially since the Ministry of Revenue is now his territory, such a large-scale cleaning is not a good thing for him.

Lu Duosun wanted to say a few words, but looking at Ye Hua's expression, he obediently held back the words.

"Okay, I'll listen to the Marquis."

They went directly to Tianzhu, one after another. Li Gu was aging several times more than before. He couldn't eat anything now and could only rely on rice paste to survive.

"This is the list of several judges from the Sansi. Lu, Mr. Lu, please take it!"

Lu Duosun took it and hurriedly looked at it. Seeing that the people above were all Li Gu's subordinates, and those without him were relieved... This scene happened to be seen by Li Gu, and he chuckled, "I'm so old, I won't be able to hold my back at the verge of death, no! In this life, I have been the prime minister, squatting in the heavenly prison, owed huge sums of money, and also made 30 million yuan in wealth. I have experienced, seen, and seen, even if I die, I will die as a human being!"

Li Gu struggled to sit up and said to Ye Hua: "Mr. Marquis, can you let me take a shower and change clothes and walk with a decent look?"

Ye Hua took a deep breath and said slowly: "I will let Li Ji come and serve you."

In an instant, Li Gu Lao burst into tears and struggled to kneel on the ground, kowtowing.
