Chapter 324: Tricky
West Chang'an Street is the magnate street of the Ming Dynasty, where there are princes and princes living in Beijing, after Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, several mansions were added here for the cabinet auxiliary ministers to live, and the first one near the West Chang'an Gate was approved by Zhu Yunwen to the then cabinet chief assistant Zhao.
Later, the mansion was vacant, and Yang Shiqi moved in.
Therefore, this mansion covering an area of nearly five acres is nicknamed the 'Shoufu Compound'. β
This courtyard is in addition to the palace, the most lively place in Nanjing, with the door and the city can not be described, Yang Shiqi was in power, this place is a real talk and laughter, no white ding.
Even in the days when Yang Shiqi was implicated and dismissed, this Shoufu compound is still desirable.
There are no fools who can mix with officialdom, the removed Yang Shiqi was not ordered to return to his hometown in Jiangxi, and the official residence of the first assistant was not taken back, and the successor Yu Xin still has a temporary false title on his head, everyone knows that the emperor Xu is going to consider Yu Xin's ability, or maybe he has not really made up his mind to abandon Yang Shiqi.
With this possibility, Pingsuli, a native of Jiangxi Province in Beijing, still ran to this place, although he was turned away every time.
"During the period when my lord was thinking about it behind closed doors, he would not see any guests."
The porter yawned and snooze outside the house, and then instantly refreshed when he saw a token.
"University Scholar."
The porter said goodbye for a while, hurriedly went back to the mansion to report, and soon ran back and respectfully invited Xie Jin into the mansion, leading the latter straight to the backyard garden.
This will be kung fu, Yang Shiqi is busy plowing the ground and planting vegetables, and his son Yang Ji is helping to do it.
"The old man is so good at Yaxing."
Yang Shiqi, who shouted this pavilion elder, waved his hand again and again: "There is no second pavilion elder here except you, don't shout nonsense, let outsiders hear it and chew your tongue again." β
"Huh."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Xie Jin followed Yang Shiqi and walked towards the study, his posture was still extremely humble.
"Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, Your Majesty gave the cabinet a holiday, and I shouldn't be on duty today, so I thought about sending some moon cakes to you."
"The gentry has a heart."
In the study, Yang Shiqi poured tea for Xie Jin and thanked him.
"There are no idlers on this Chang'an Street, and the gentry will always be seen when he comes to Yang's house today, and the impact is very bad."
"What can be bad, I'm afraid the thief won't be able to remember."
Yang Shiqi frowned when Xie Jin said this, he felt that Xie Jin's state seemed to be a little floating?
It's really easy to change, and it's hard to change your nature, Xie Jin is so frivolous at every turn, and sooner or later he will suffer a big loss.
"Listen to what you mean, Yu Dunben can't hold it down?"
Seeing Yang Shiqi's words, Xie Jin suddenly laughed: "The old man is like a torch, admire." β
"You underestimate him too much, or maybe you look too highly at this anti-corruption campaign."
Yang Shiqi smiled disdainfully and said to Xie Jin: "What you see is unstable, it is just a group of unfounded Beijing officials who are worried about the shadow of the snake, can the local tax department kill a group of tax officials to shake this country?"
Even if the chief officials who really put on the people's livelihood such as political envoys, prefects, and county commanders are killed, the localities will not be able to cause chaos, because the people should do what they should do, and if they are not chaotic, the country will not be in chaos.
Nanjing's current mess is not how many heads have been lost in this crackdown on corruption, but because the tax department is involved in taxation, and taxation is involved in the core of the five-year plan, and in two years it will be the final year of the First Five-Year Plan. β
Xie Jin nodded again and again when he heard this, but he still smiled and said: "Xie can't see through the overall situation, with Yang Ge Lao, in short, it won't be long before you will come back." β
Yang Shiqi was confused by this, according to his guess, Zhu Yunwen would at least wait until Yu Xin led the civil official group to pinch up with Zongxun and fight to the ground of chicken feathers before he could get back to him, and this time would take a year or two at the earliest, but listening to Xie Jin's meaning, it seems that this matter is imminent again?
"Next year, Yu Dunben's age will reach the red line."
Xie Jin's words made Yang Shiqi stand up suddenly.
Thousands of calculations, how to forget this stubble!
Only then did I remember that Yu Xin is sixty-nine years old this year, and in the new year, he will reach the red line of Zhishi who will automatically step down at the age of seventy.
Not only did Yang Shiqi not expect it, but even Zhu Yunwen forgot about this stubble.
If Zhu Gaochi hadn't found him with the list of Jingguan who would be sent to Shi next year, he wouldn't have expected Yu Xin to be so old.
If it were according to the history of the original time and space, Yu Xin should have died two years ago in the office of the head of the household department, probably because this time and space had no appeasement, one less fright, plus he entered the cabinet too early, and he didn't have to worry about so many state affairs in the household department, and this life was much harder under the two phases.
When you reach the red line, you have to retreat, and Zhu Yunwen still hopes that the officials of the Ming Dynasty can abide by this rule, especially the first- and second-grade officials in the center.
Even Zhu Yunwen plans to set a time limit for the cabinet to serve, and those who have worked for 10 or 8 years will be automatically appointed to the office, so as to greatly avoid the possibility of officials forming gangs and cultivating protΓ©gΓ©s.
It's just that if this standard is set now, Yang Shiqi is so young, he is only less than fifty years old after ten years, and he returns to his hometown at such a young age, and it is a pity that some talents are wasted.
Now that Yu Xin is about to retreat, Zhu Yunwen has already begun to stop.
He had to come forward and ask Jonghoon to stop fighting.
If the fight continues, after Yang Shiqi recovers, that battle will inevitably be over.
"If Yu Dunben retires next year, the person who joins the cabinet is likely to be Xia Yuanji."
The Ministry of Household Books is the easiest department to take a step up among the ten central departments, after all, the country's finances are as heavy as Mount Tai.
Yang Shiqi thought about it, but didn't bother to speculate about these personnel considerations, and instead changed the topic and said: "You led the Hanlin Academy to edit the "Jianwen Canon", how is the progress?" β
"Jianwen Canon" is the only political achievement that Xie Jin can take at the moment, and Yang Shiqi is also very worried about this: "Hurry up and edit the "Jianwen Canon" before Yu Dunben retires, in this case, maybe you can go further and add a Wenhuadian scholar." β
"Can it be done?"
Xie Jin felt that the possibility of this matter was too low: "Three Hall Scholars, can Your Majesty be willing to give us two of the seats in Jiangxi?" β
"It's man-made."
After taking a sip of tea, Yang Shiqi coughed lightly: "Yan Zhenzhi is also worried about it, but after all, this person's background is a strong man in Zhejiang.
In officialdom, the enemy's disadvantage is his own advantage. β
The two of them were worried about the vacancy of the position of Wenhua Hall Scholar, and in the palace at this time, Zhu Yunwen was also worried about this matter.
He finally took this opportunity to turn the Jiangxi Party into a plate of scattered sand, once Xie Jin took over Yu Xin's class, then the cabinet would really be surnamed Jiangxi, then the original group of Jiangxi officials who were separated from morality would inevitably return to Yang Shiqi's door out of Panyan's attachment.
Therefore, it is still necessary to take over the people of the Zhejiang Party.
Yan Zhenzhi went further, which means that the powerful class went further, who made the Yan family's power in Zhejiang so great.
Behind him is the entire industrial and commercial relationship network that the Zhejiang Entrepreneurs Association has operated over the years.
In layman's terms, Yan Zhenzhi is the spokesperson of assets, which is what Zhu Yunwen is currently involving.
It's tricky.
