Chapter 288: The Ministers Waiting to Be Released
Zhao Jian's actions soon evolved into a competition.
These are all high-ranking officials of the imperial court, all of them are old fritters, shrewd, and these local turtles are not their opponents.
In order to survive, these big names have given their all.
Kill!
There are good and powerful clans in the place, and they don't let go of one of them, and the original Qingzhang is re-determined to ensure fairness and reasonableness. The unjust cases accumulated over the years have also been disposed of.
There are also taxes and servitude over the years, which have been reorganized...... It is complicated, but after all, it is only responsible for one county, which is not worth mentioning compared to the whole country.
In addition, Zheng Gu, the governor of Shuntian, has been doing it for a long time, and the head has already been opened, and it is not so difficult to push the boat down the river.
In a word, almost every minister can get good results within the agreed time limit.
Yang Dan unloaded the burden of the heavenly officials, cleaned up the government affairs of Neihuang, and finally returned to Beijing to resume his life, and then returned to his hometown to recuperate.
After decades of Huan Hai's career, it is finally over, and I don't know what kind of evaluation I will leave on the annals of history?
Whether it's good or bad, in short, it doesn't matter.
How far the situation will develop in the future is not something he can control.
Take care of your life and live a comfortable life without asking about the world for a few days!
"Leave early tomorrow, hurry back to Beijing, and return to your hometown as soon as possible...... The old man didn't want to stay for a moment. ”
That's what Yang Dan said, and that's what he did.
Before dawn, he was ready, took a carriage, and went out of the county seat.
When he came out, Dongfang showed a glimmer of light.
Yang Dan sat in the carriage, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was resting.
But at this moment, the coachman's face was full of panic, and he suddenly reined in the horse, so that Yang Dan had to open his eyes.
"What's going on?"
"Great, sir...... See for yourself! ”
Yang Dan was quite angry, what was going on? Could it be that there are still people who are looking for trouble for themselves?
Yang Dan lifted the curtain and looked outside, and suddenly, he was also stunned.
On the small roads, countless figures appeared, some of them still holding torches and carrying lanterns, from ten miles and eight towns, rushed one after another.
Some of them had water marks on their trouser legs, which were the marks left by the dewdrops.
They looked anxiously down the road.
When they saw Yang Dan's carriage, many neighboring people couldn't help but kneel down.
"Congratulations to Lord Yang!"
"Congratulations to Lord Yang!"
There was also a group of elderly people, carrying an umbrella of the people, to the front of the carriage.
"My lord, I'll keep it for you!"
There is also a long-bearded old man wearing a Confucian shirt, and he kowtows, my lord, Nei Huang has never been an adult for decades, and he is a good official who really does things for the people! Congratulations to the adults, I wish the adults a long and long life, and all generations to come! ”
At this time, Yang Dan reacted slightly, it turned out that this was all here to send himself?
It seems that he is a good official!
After realizing this, Yang Dan suddenly felt ridiculous.
It's ridiculous!
He has been an official for decades, and he has become a heavenly official.
But think about it carefully, in the past few decades, the clouds have been light and the wind has been light, and the wind has been calm, even if you ask yourself, there is nothing exciting about it.
What is loved by all the people, what is the official for one term, for the benefit of one party...... It seems that they have nothing to do with him. In other words, that's all something that only happens in drama.
Who is not like him? After a lifetime of reactive power, what do you do with all your efforts?
It's best to do something for the people of the world, after all, everyone has a conscience.
But if you want to do things, you are desperate, and even offend everyone like Zhang Xuan, it is really unnecessary.
This is also the reason why Yang Dan decided to resign.
But he never expected that in his life, the last government affairs were forced by others to do, and there would be such a result!
Is this a dream?
Thousands of Neihuang people sent each other, Wanmin umbrellas, Wanmin books, and some people wept bitterly, reluctant to let him go, hoping that the boss could continue to uphold justice and make decisions for the big guy......
As for it?
The old man really doesn't have this mind, I just go home safely!
The people who saw him off even went out of Neihuang and passed through the Daimyo's Mansion all the way.
Yang Dan didn't know what to say, he was so old, and he was a Qingtian master once, which was really ironic. With a full sigh, he returned to the capital.
But when Yang Dan just entered Beijing, he got the news.
The officials of Kedaoyan, many local officials, as well as people from the Guozijian and the Hanlin Academy, wrote to impeach him, of course, including those dozens of people.
Yang Dan suddenly felt ridiculous, as for the content of the impeachment, he didn't even need to look at the recital, he knew it in his chest. It's all the accusations he is most familiar with.
Misconduct, reckless disregard for human life, mutilation of scholars, unjust, false and wrongful cases...... If you don't look at the person's name, I think it's an impeachment of Zhang Xuan!
What is this?
Soon, Yang Dan got the news again.
This is simply a ploy of the Son of Heaven.
Aren't you, old ministers, opposed to changing the law? Isn't it to cover up Haoqiang?
Then force you to do it, to do what you don't want to do.
Wait until you're done. And then use your usual methods to kill you!
This is called self-inflicted blame, self-cocooning!
The more you don't like to do anything, the more you are forced to do it.
The more you don't want to do anything, the more you use this method against you?
After hearing the news. Yang Dan believed it at once.
The reason is very simple, Zhu Houxi can really do it!
Take Yang Tinghe as an example, he obviously has the merit of supporting, and it is not easy to kill him. The big guys think that the most is to dismiss the official...... But what happened in the end? Drowned in their own garden pond.
Aren't you able to assassinate the Son of Heaven?
Let you enjoy the same way of dying as Zhengde!
The grandeur of the young son of heaven was already known to everyone at that moment.
Zhu Houxi can do it.
It's finally your turn!
Yang Dan was full of grievances, as if he was crying, but there was no tears. He is no longer a child, his career in the sea has been going on for decades, and there is nothing he can't see through.
Coming to this point, it's also self-inflicted!
Tomorrow is the day to meet the Son of Heaven and His Majesty to resign.
The notes on his impeachment have been piled up on the desk of the Son of Heaven, and perhaps everything is already doomed, and there is no room for change...... Yang Dan put on his court clothes early, everything was ready to stop, and he could go out.
When he walked out of the study, he suddenly noticed the Wanmin umbrella next to the door, which was given to him by the people of Neihuang!
"Take it!"
The family didn't seem to hear clearly, "What to bring?" ”
"Bring this, of course!"
Yang Dan suddenly became violent, "No matter what happened in the past, this time I will go to Neihuang, and I am worthy of my heart!" If those people convict the old man in this way, the old man will not accept it! ”
"Let's go!"
Yang Dan took a firm step and left the house.
When he arrived outside the noon gate, the dawn was showing in the east, and many people had already arrived at this time, including Zhao Jian, Yu Jian and others.
When they saw someone holding an umbrella behind Yang Dan, they were all startled, and they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Don't be crazy, right? It's not hot, even if it's dog days, no one gets an umbrella early in the morning, who are you showing this score?
"I said Brother Yang, what are you?" Zhao Jian asked curiously.
Yang Dan smiled indifferently, "The people send each other, and the old man deserves it!" ”
Zhao Jian's brows furrowed, and then he stretched out again, and he suddenly sighed, "Brother Yang, you are in Neihuang, but you are very proud?" ”
"That's nature! Although it was not a long time, just like today, before dawn, thousands of people came to see me off, they were reluctant to let me go, and said that they would write my name into the local county annals! ”
Zhao Jian listened to Yang Dan's words, his throat surged, and he raised his head slightly, "Brother Yang is right, this period of time is really like a young man, only in a dream!" Until now, I don't even dare to dream! ”
Yang Dan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Zhao, Brother Yu, and others...... Are we wrong? ”
The ministers looked at each other as if they were full of words, but they didn't know where to start...... Yang Dan suddenly looked at the other young officials and said loudly: "This is the Wanmin umbrella that the old man got, are you envious?" Be a good official, really do things for the people, don't be like us, waste your whole life in vain! ”
"The old man wants to tell you...... This Wanmin umbrella is really more precious than any gold and silver treasures, high-ranking officials! You must not reach the age of the old man, the road is exhausted, and you have to figure it out! ”
Yang Dan's eyes were filled with tears, and the ministers who saw this scene, especially those young courtiers, were even more shocked. It can be said that these words are almost the last words of an old minister.
For one term of office, for the benefit of one party.
Easier said than done!
Gradually, I forgot why I wanted to take the imperial examination, why I was an official, and I was like getting lost in the sea, and when I was about to die at the last moment, I realized that I had achieved nothing and everything was empty.
It's late!
In the hearts of hundreds of officials, after thinking about it, there are ups and downs.
At this moment, the bell and drum sounded, everyone entered the Fengtian Palace, and Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials.
"I've seen a lot of familiar faces!" Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "Wang Yue, I asked you and Jinyiwei to inspect the situation of rectifying Haoqiang in various places, and I have also received a lot of impeachments here, which is right and which is wrong, I am very curious, can you talk about it?" ”
