175 The Reaction of Man Gui and Cao Huachun
Thinking of this, Hu Guang opened the memorial and started reading.
In the memorial, Liu Xingzuo reported the investigation process, which was to break through the general flag, and then followed the clues and arrested all the people involved. He also found a cash register, which recorded information such as how much silver was collected for someone because of something.
Hu Guang casually looked at the cash register in the appendix and found that Lu Ruipeng's name was also inside. As he said, he remembered to collect five taels of silver from killing the Jurchens to three.
Put down the list and look at the memorials, the total number of silver in the silver in the total number is 6,565 taels, involving more than 1,300 soldiers. These silver in the silver in the silver in the capital have been divided, including Li Fengxiang, the admiral of the Beijing camp, with 2,000 taels, the deputy generals, the general generals, and the guerrillas have to be reduced, and the general flag for doing business is only a mere three taels.
As Hu Guang expected, three servants of Man Gui and five Dongchang soldiers participated in the division of the bank, and a total of 1,000 taels were left. Liu Xingzuo specifically stated in the memorial that this 1,000 taels were specially given away by Li Fengxiang in his own share.
After reading the main text of the memorial, Hu Guang read the cash register in the appendix again and carefully checked it. As Lu Ruipeng said, those who were collected were somewhat rewarded.
After throwing the memorial on the imperial case, Hu Guang closed his eyes and thought about it. To be honest, the total cash registers for this matter were not high. From Liu Xingzuo's memorial, it can be seen that this matter was actually a means of their usual way of making money. Just like a businessman doing business, it seemed very ordinary and ordinary.
From this we can also see that the Beijing camp is really bad. Of course, other troops probably have not been able to get there. In this battle of defense of the capital, if Man Gui had not appointed as the commander-in-chief, if he had not personally taken action to boost morale, it would be a question whether such a Beijing camp could defend the capital! It would be great that this would be the best way to take this opportunity to rebuild the Beijing camp.
Hu Guang thought of this, opened his eyes and said with praise: "Liu Qing did a good job!"
Then he issued an order and entrusted Mangui to meet him.
After a while, Man Gui entered, looked at Liu Xingzuo standing beside him, and immediately saw him and knelt on one knee and said, "I will be incompetent in discipline, please punish him!"
"Hmm?" Hu Guang snorted lightly, without any extra words.
Seeing this, Man Gui said loudly with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the army is very particular about rewards and punishments, but because they collected the money, they turned a blind eye when verifying their military merits. Even if the Jinyiwei does not take them to such a thing, the last general will definitely punish them!"
After hearing this, Hu Guang still said "Oh" regularly, staring at Man Gui, seeing what he would say.
Man Gui couldn't figure out the holy intention, so he simply didn't think about it anymore and continued to play loudly according to his own ideas: "These bastards have received a total of 300 taels of silver. The last thing is that they should follow the rules and follow the rules to each person in front of the army to serve as a warning!"
Speaking of this, he glanced at Hu Guang's face and continued to speak with a little nervousness: "But the three of them made a lot of efforts in this battle in the capital and made military achievements. The last general thought that they could atone for their sins, and the last general was willing to help them return the double silver."
After saying that, he looked at the emperor and waited for the Holy Prison.
However, Hu Guang ignored him and waved his hand. Wang Chengen, the rotating eunuch beside him, sang loudly: "The eunuch, the eunuch of the Secretariat and the imperial envoy, and the eunuch of the East Factory official school office, Cao Huachun, met with him!"
After a while, Cao Huachun came to the imperial front. Not only did he not see Liu Xingzuo standing beside him, but he also turned a blind eye to Man Gui who was kneeling on one knee. He directly greeted Hu Guang and said loudly: "I am guilty! I always teach them to be honest and self-disciplined, learn from Yue Wumu's loyalty to serve the country, but he still does such bribery. If these bad apples continue to stay in the Dongchang, I think they will have a bad start, and they must kill one to warn hundreds of others to serve as a warning!"
It can be seen that he could see clearly better than Mangui, and he did not plead for his subordinates at all. While pleading guilty, he also expressed his efforts indirectly, and at the same time gave suggestions to kill one and warn a hundred and eliminate the black sheep.
After Cao Huachun finished speaking, Hu Guang still did not post a look, but just looked at the two ministers below.
After a while, or Man Gui's kneeling on one knee for a long time, it seemed a little shaking. However, he still tried hard to maintain this position, and I don't know if it was the reason, but there was a lit reflection on his forehead.
The hall was very quiet, and no one knew what the emperor was thinking. Therefore, no one spoke, tried to reduce his presence and wait for the emperor's sage.
Just when Man Gui was about to be unable to hold on, Hu Guangcai said lightly: "Let's just flat!"
These two people were still loyal to them, and the money they received was not given to them. Of course, it was also possible that the Jinyiwei had thoroughly investigated overnight, and their subordinates had no time to pay the silver. However, these were not important. Since it had not happened, they would be dealt with as follows:
Hu Guang thought so, and said in a serious tone: "The former commander of the Jinyiwei Luo Yangxing, the head of the former commander of the Jinyiwei, is still hanging on the Meridian Gate, you should see it when you go in and out? My meaning is very clear. I will never tolerate corruption, and corruption in the army cannot tolerate even more! Cao Daban saw some things clearly, but Man Qing, you should still think about it carefully. Don't think that corruption in the army is common now, and I will turn a blind eye!"
Hearing this, Cao Huachun felt a little worried. As the admiral of the East Factory, he had a very thorough understanding of the emperor's meaning. After making a statement, he knew that he had passed the test.
But Man Gui could no longer stand. The three servants under his commander had military achievements and were more prominent than the commander of the Jinyiwei. The emperor found out that he was corrupt and beheaded and showed his public.
He knelt on one knee again, and led his armor to clang, lowered his head and said loudly: "I will know the crime!"
Hu Guang looked at him and reminded seriously: "Manqing, you started with soldiers and you should have a personal understanding of corruption in the army. If I follow what you said this time and let those people lose their merits and commit crimes, just forget it. Do you think it is fair? Is it clear that rewards and punishments?"
When Man Gui heard this, he raised his head and was about to answer, he saw the emperor looking at his eyes and continued, "In this way, the generals in the military have been corrupt in their own merits. If they are not discovered, they will make a profit. Even if they are discovered, they can pay for their merits and nothing will happen. Is this really good?"
Man Gui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head again, and said sincerely with some confidence: "I know I am guilty!"
Hu Guang heard the sincerity in his voice and nodded. However, he believed that Man Gui must have not truly realized what he said about corruption in the military, because he did not expect that the most common phenomenon in the military now was actually definitely involving corruption in the military.
