Chapter 510

As Peiyan's voice disappears, Wu Mei can't help sighing in her heart. Pei Yan is really brilliant and confused for a time. At this moment, it's time to restrain herself and sit and watch the court officials argue. Why should she stand up and speak before she sees the situation clearly?

Does he really think that with the words of his Zhongshu order, other officials in the court can follow him and impeach the prince together?

As soon as Zhongshu ordered to speak, two courtiers, including Fang Xianzhong, who had argued with each other, looked at him involuntarily. Only Li Hong slowly went to his chair and sat down.

"Your Majesty, I think that the great responsibility for the shortage of silver in the Ministry of work under the charge of Fang Shangshu lies in the fact that his royal highness appropriates the silver of the Ministry of work privately, so that the former silver is misappropriated by Fang Shangshu. What's more, as far as I know, Fang Shangshu's Ministry of work is in deficit now. It's not that Fang Shangshu has been greedy for money, but he has used it for other purposes. For Fang Shangshu's honesty, he has always been well-known in the court, and I have always admired him. " Pei Yan took a look at his face and expression. Sitting on the chair, he happened to look at his Li Hong. He said with righteous words.

Di Renjie's eyes turned and said in surprise, "Oh? Well, I'd like to ask Mr. Pei to return the house secretary. Where have the other silver dual-purpose departments of the Ministry of work come to? "

Hearing Di Renjie's question, Peiyan felt as if he had found a confidant, because if no one asked, he could not continue to say that. The reason why he said this meal and looked at the chaotang people was that he hoped to attract everyone's thoughts to this point.

Peiyan gave Di Renjie a knowing smile, and said in a loud voice: "since Lord Di asked me, I should tell the truth. But first of all, I'm not excusing Fang Shangshu, so I impeached his highness. There are solid evidences for all this. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, I was deeply favored by the emperor and his majesty. I always took the stability of our country as my duty. Therefore, I always thought that no matter who was in charge of breaking the law of the Tang Dynasty, even the prince's highness should be punished as "the prince committed the same crime as the common people."

"That's good to say, but if you can't prove it, Mr. Pei? What if you framed and wronged the prince? Is the reputation of your highness something that I and other officials can slander at will? " Zhang Cambodian looks at Peiyan and hums.

"What Zhang Shangshu said is very true. Neither I nor other colleagues in the palace have the right to say yes. But what if it is a colleague of the imperial historian who impeached his highness and found relevant evidence? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has always been the duty of the former Emperor to treat the imperial censor with courtesy. It has always been the duty of the imperial censor to supervise the imperial court. The prince's highness, as the Secretary of state, is naturally under the supervision of the imperial censor. " Pei Yan looked at Zhang Cambodian. At a young age, he took the place of Dai Zhide and became the Secretary of the Ministry of rites. All these years, Pei Yan did not pay much attention to himself.

"Pei Yan, let the imperial historian present the evidence in his hand to the orphan father and empress mother for a look." Li Hong looked relaxed and lowered his head.

In Li Hong's opinion, it's no wonder that the people who Pei Yan can use in Yushitai are Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou, one of them is the imperial historian, the other is the former imperial historian.

In history, Peiyan, Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhi, three of them, framed Li Xian's rebellion and went to the east palace to investigate Li Xian's mastermind at that time. They found hundreds of armor from the East Palace, so Li Xian was abolished as a commoner.

As Li Hong expected, it was not surprising that Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou came out of the group of ministers. They saluted Li Zhi and Wu Mei, and then said that the prince's Royal Highness should not be secretly investigated for the embezzlement of silver. However, it was related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the laws and regulations of the court.

The investigation and confession made by the two people, of course, would not be shown to Li Hong, but presented to Li Zhi and Wu Mei. They flipped through the thick fold at will, and they could not help laughing.

It did record some things about Quanzhou shipyard, but they didn't understand the issue of silver. Li Chunfeng and the other ten students had no idea. They had no choice but to copy a copy of the account book and bring it back.

"What do you want to account for in the account you transcribed?" Li Zhi asked, closing the fold with a smile.

Wu Mei stopped reading these things for a long time. Any student in Chongwen museum can see these things clearly. However, for Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou, it seems strange and mysterious.

"I ask your majesty to order the account book to be checked by the Ministry of household, not by the prince's highness." Peiyan said forward.

"Do you believe in the Department? Can you trust the person appointed by the Department of household management? " Lizhi asked with great interest.

"Back to your highness, to tell you the truth, since the prince's highness took charge of the six ministries, the Ministry of Hu and the Ministry of rites have all been promoted by his highness. I am afraid of them..."

"Before Jinghui, it was Prince Li Hong who served as secretary of the Ministry of accounts. Who do you think is suitable for auditing?" Li Zhi frowned and looked at Wu Mei discontentedly.

Naturally, he knew that Pei Yan was a more convenient person for Wu Mei to use in recent years. But she is so aggressive today, should she say something?But Wu Mei obviously didn't take his eyes seriously, still slightly closed his eyes, about Peiyan's words, no reaction.

Seeing Wu Mei didn't respond, Li Zhi had to look at Li Hong, who was like his mother. He also sat in a chair and closed his eyes slightly. He didn't care about Pei Yan's impeachment.

But Peiyan was obviously prepared. Hearing Li Zhi's question, he took a look and ignored him. The empress and the prince, who were keeping their eyes closed, said in a cold voice, "Ouyang Tong, the Minister of the Ministry of official affairs, can be responsible for checking accounts."

"Why him? If it's him, then how can the crown prince believe it? In case it's you and him who are jointly channeling Di Renjie suddenly said.

"Don't worry, Mr. di. I've only heard of this man. Even though most of them don't know where they live now, how can they get in touch with him? What's more, it's about the reputation of his highness. I'm just doing things impartially. If the prince doesn't covet ink and silver privately, it's the best thing. "

"No need to check. There is no problem with those accounts. There are 13 million silver coins. Every coin has its origin and development, and it can be put on the account correctly. Among all the books, the most suspicious thing is the price of the expensive hull and the various skeletons of the hull, especially the price of the keel. Even a five tooth warship can be built. This is why the ship built by his royal highness Li Chunfeng is so expensive. If the account books presented by Xue Yushi and Gao Yushi to his majesty and empress are true, then there is no such thing as the prince's highness who is greedy for ink Ouyang Tong, a servant of the Ministry of officials, squeezed out from behind the ministers, straightened his back and said succinctly.

"Then why is the keel and hull of this ship so much more expensive than the five tooth warship? How to explain this? I don't think we're going to give you a false price... "

"That's because the ship built by the prince's highness is unprecedented. It can not only sail in the ocean, but also resist the severe sea weather such as typhoons. The firmness of the ship, as well as the keel, Panglong bone, rib, bow post and stern post, are all of the structures that we have never had before in the Tang Dynasty. However, such a structure requires a lot of practice, but practice requires a lot of practice It's the most expensive place to spend money. In addition, the materials are of high quality, so the high cost is reasonable. "

"No way. What kind of material can be so expensive?" Peiyan looked at Ouyang Tong, who was in his thirties and less than 40 years old. However, he was well-organized and stood on the court with no inferiority and no words. He answered all his doubts in a systematic way.

"This is completely possible, because the emergence of new things is like a businessman's first time in business. He needs to invest a lot of money in the initial stage before he can recover his own costs in the future. Just like the rich merchants, such as the luxurious flower shops and restaurants in Chang'an City, the initial cost they put in is directly proportional to the luxurious flower shops and restaurants they built. The restaurants invested with 10 Liang silver and the restaurants invested with 100 Liang or 1000 Liang silver are all restaurants. But the difference between them should be understood by Mr. Pei? " When Ouyang Tong said this, he could not help but cause the officials, including Li Zhi, to give a light laugh, while Peiyan was flushed.

Although Ouyang Tong's metaphor is not very appropriate, its truth is simple and easy to understand. All the officials, including Li Zhi, understood why the ships built by Li Hong were so expensive.

"Therefore, the ship built by his highness is like a ship built with 10000 taels or 100000 taels of silver, and the return benefits that five ships can give, if not expected, can be recovered ten times in five years." After the laughter of the ministers disappeared, Ouyang Tong finally concluded.

"I don't believe it. It's impossible. I don't believe that the price of a ship can reach more than 1 million taels." Pei Yan looks at Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou. They promise themselves that as long as they get these books, only someone who can understand them can prove that his highness is guilty of embezzling silver.

Even if one of the students in Chongwen hall was randomly selected, they would be able to check the accounts and find out the prince's greasy business in Quanzhou.

"Believe it or not, but this is the fact. The fact is, after the prince's highness built the five boats that can be used, the fishermen in Quanzhou quickly offered Li Chunfeng as a lifesaver." Ouyang Tong answers Peiyan again.

"Why is that?" Listen to the story, listen to addicted Lizhi, blurted out.

"My Lord, when fishermen go down to the sea to catch fish, the fishermen in Tang Dynasty dare not go to the deep sea. They only dare to fish in the nearby waters. When they go far away, they often encounter Japanese people or other foreign countries' ships to rob them. But since the first giant ship of Tang Dynasty went into the sea, the Japanese people have shrunk up."

"Where did you know that?" Li Zhi couldn't help but grasp the armrest of the chair and asked. Even Wu Mei, who was next to her, was also Fengmu's circulation. She focused on the Ouyang Tong.

"Three months ago, I served as the Secretary of Zhongshu province. I saw it from the memorial of Quanzhou In spite of Pei Yan's red face, Ouyang Tong said in a loud voice.
