After Young Master Fusu left Zhangtai Palace, he was prepared to head to the office of the internal historian.
Chunyu Yue and the others, who were waiting outside Zhangtai Palace, finally understood what had happened and said,""There's no need for young master to go personally. Young master is His Majesty's young master. He wouldn't dare to not come with a verbal order!”
"Young Master, you just need to wait in Young Master's residence.”
Chunyu Yue said confidently. In his opinion, even if the Marquis of the Pass was the internal historian, he still had to respect Su as a young master…
Fu Su calmed down after hearing Chunyu Yue's words.
"Alright, then go to the internal historian's office on my behalf. You must convince the Marquis of the Pass to enter the palace!”
"Yes, sir! Young Master!"
Fu Su's carriage returned to the Young Master's manor. Chunyu Yue, who claimed to be a great scholar of the world, and three famous scholars of the six dynasties went to the Internal History Manor. In their opinion, they would be able to convince the Marquis of the Pass with their reputation and eloquence!
……
Food is served in the office of the internal history.
Han Qiu sat in the main hall of the government office. The official who was in charge of the internal history of grain stood in the hall with his hands hanging by his side. Piles of bamboo slips were placed on one side of the hall, and Xiao He was proofreading them one by one.
The amount of grain stored in the national treasury and the savings of the government had to be matched with the account book. If it didn't match, they would check it to the end!
The officials in the hall felt their hair stand on end. They had a premonition that their good days were coming to an end when the inner duke of the pass took over as the internal historian!
"Milord, the grain in the national treasury does not match the account book. There is a lack of 30,000 stones of corn!”
The moment Xiao He finished speaking, the official in charge of supervising the national treasury in the hall felt his legs go weak and almost fell to the ground.
"The Inner Marquis of the Pass! I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"
Before Han Qiu could ask for punishment, such officials had already cried out loudly. The laws of the Qin country were strict. If one embezzled a stone of corn, one would have their nose gouged out. If one embezzled ten stones of corn, one would have their waist cut off. If one embezzled a hundred stones of corn, one would have their house ransacked and punished!
Thirty thousand dan of corn was not a small amount!
"What injustice? Don't tell me you're not in charge of the grain in the national treasury?”
"Sir, I am in charge…but…"
Han Qiu looked at the other officials in the main hall and waved his hand, telling them to retreat and wait outside the hall. Without Han Qiu's order, they were not allowed to enter!
After all the officials had left, the official in charge of the treasury said in a low voice,""Milord, this 30,000 kilograms of corn was borrowed by the previous internal historian. It's definitely not a petty person's greed!”
"Ying Ju borrowed 30,000 kilograms of corn? Why did he borrow the corn?"
"I don't know either. I don't dare to ask…"
"Do you have proof?"
"There's a handprint written by Ying Ju!”In order to save his own life, the official in charge of the national treasury had no choice but to confess. Otherwise, if the crime of embezzling 30,000 catties of corn fell on his head, not only would he be cut in half, but his three clans would also be unable to escape death!
The males above the age of sixteen were executed, the males below the age of sixteen were banished, and the females in the family were banished as slaves…
This official really couldn't bear such a heavy crime.
Ying Ju was a member of the royal family, belonging to the Ying Clan. According to seniority, Ying Ju should be Ying Zheng's cousin.
Ying Ju's father was Ying Ziyou. Before Ying Zheng's father, Ying Yiren, became the King of Qin, Gongzi You was highly regarded by all the civil and military officials in the court. In the court, many officials supported Gongzi You.
Furthermore, Gongzi He was loyal and brave. When the Yi Ren was a hostage in Zhao, Gongzi He had a very deep foundation in Xianyang.
However, after Ying Yiren returned to Xianyang, he received the help of Madam Huayang and Lu Buwei. With the help of Madam Huayang and the Chu faction of the State of Qin, Ying Yiren finally became the King of Qin. Gongzi You missed the position of King of Qin!
However, even though Gongzi He didn't become the King of Qin, he became the leader of the Ying Family and was respected by the Ying Family…
When the King of Qin Yiren died and Ying Zheng and Cheng Jiao fought for the throne, Young Master He led the Ying family and Lady Huayang to fight against the Chu faction. He supported Ying Zheng to become the King of Qin and was granted the title of Si Che Shu Chang.
When Ying Zheng and Lu Buwei seized power, Ying He still stood firmly behind Ying Zheng, helping Ying Zheng regain his royal power, and then giving Lu Buwei his death...
Ying Zheng respected Ying He very much and called him uncle...
Ying Ju was Ying He's son, and was regarded as a brother by Ying Zheng. If he did not trust Ying Ju, Ying Zheng would not have let Ying Ju become the internal historian of grain management.
……
Han Qiu looked at Ying Ju's hand seal and thought to herself,""Ying Ju is a member of the Ying Royal Family, so he shouldn't lack money and food.”
Han Qiu glanced at Xiao He and said,""Let the other officials in!"
The officials from the office of internal history entered again. Han Qiu continued to check the accounts. In the hall, the officials from the office of internal history felt as if there was a sharp blade hanging over their heads. Once it fell, their heads would be gone!
When they saw Han Qiu's serious face, they knew that their good days were coming to an end.
However, he had to investigate Ying Ju's matter properly. He couldn't afford to make any mistakes. Otherwise, he would offend the Ying Family and become a great enemy!
At this moment, an official entered the hall and reported,""Reporting to the internal historian, there are a few people who have submitted Young Master Fusu's visiting card and asked the internal historian to go out to welcome them!”
"Young Master Fusu? Go out to welcome them?"
Han Qiu thought to herself, I don't have any dealings with Fu Su, so why would he submit a visiting card? Go out to welcome them? Is this an order?"
"Did Fu Su come personally?"
" Reporting to the internal historian, it's not Young Master who came. It's Young Master's henchmen, Chunyu Yue, Li Santong, Li Yan, and the others…"
Pa!
Han Qiu threw the visiting card in her hand on the ground."No. Tell them I don't have time."
"Here!"
Han Qiu was currently pondering over the matter of Ying Ju borrowing food. Should she use Ying Ju to establish her authority, or should she find Ying Ju and ask him about it?
Many officials would do something like establishing their authority, but they had to choose their target. After all, Ying Ju's father was Ying Ziyou, and Ying Zheng had received a lot of help from Ying Ziyou when he took over the position...
It could even be said that without Ying Ziyou's great help, it would be very difficult for Ying Zheng to take the throne of the King of Qin...
"We have to find Ying Ju and ask him about this matter. Thirty thousand kilograms of corn isn't a lot, but it's also a lot!”
Han Qiu was thinking about how to deal with his relationship with the Ying Royal Family. How could he be in the mood to argue with Fu Su? Especially the notorious Chunyu Yue…
……
Chunyu Yue and the others were sitting on the carriage outside the office of the internal historian, waiting for the door to open and for the internal historian to personally welcome them…
They had come to represent Young Master Fusu, the future Emperor of Great Qin.
They thought that they were of noble status!
Even the internal historian had to be respectful to them. After all, they were the great scholars of that time!
"Just you wait. Internal Secretary Zhi Su will definitely come out to welcome him personally. At that time, we will lecture him from above. He will definitely be convinced and immediately enter the palace!”
"Haha! Elder Chun is right!"
Just as they were laughing, the official who had entered the government office to report walked out…
Pa!
The official threw the visiting cards they had submitted on the ground and scolded,"The internal history of Zisu doesn't have time to see you! Leave quickly!"
The expressions of Chunyu Yue and the others who were boasting to each other changed drastically. The fact that the official had thrown their visiting cards on the ground was their greatest insult…
Chunyu Yue's face turned red!
"How dare you! Do you know who I am?"
Chunyu Yue jumped down from the carriage and picked up the card. He realized that the seal of the card had not been opened. It was obvious that the card had been sent in, but Internal Secretary Zhi Su had not opened it at all!
"I want to see Internal Secretary Zhi Su!"
As soon as Chunyu Yue finished speaking, he was about to barge into the office of the internal historian. The expressions of the Great Qin soldiers guarding outside the office changed drastically!
The Great Qin soldiers raised their spears and pointed them at Chunyu Yue and the others.
The sharp blade was aimed at the necks of Chunyu Yue and the others!
"Great Qin's government offices are strictly prohibited from trespassing.”
