Chapter 462: Scales
Qian Yuan stood still at the foot of the steps, looked up at the word "food garden" on the plaque hanging above, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Four years ago, Jin Hong invited Qian Yuan to a banquet, and it was Zhang Siwei, the owner of this place, who was the east, and four years later, this garden praised by Qian Yuan as a good scenery still fell into the hands of Qian Yuan.
Hu Zongxian is a fine person, last year in Tongxiang County this garden "reluctantly" gifted, and then sent someone to take care of it, after all, it has been uninhabited for several years.
Qian Yuan walked inside, but saw strange stones, flowing water bridges, walking along the winding corridor, looking up, pavilions and pavilions were faintly visible behind the big trees that were more than ten meters high.
However, today Qian Yuan doesn't have such a good temperament to appreciate these good scenes.
Straight into the main hall, Qian Yuan sent all the servants out, stretched out his hand and said, "What about the letter?" ”
One of the guards respectfully handed over a thick letter, "I have examined the lacquer seal, and it is intact. ”
Qian Yuan set off again from Linhai some time ago, and successively inspected Taizhou, Ningbo, Shaoxing, Hangzhou and other places.
This is the reason why Qian Yuan didn't answer Hu Zongxian's question about Jingcha before, but if you think about it with your heels, you know that it must be a big victory for the Yan Party.
And now the only one in the DPRK and China who can slightly confront Yan Song is Xu Jie, and the Yan Party's big victory naturally means that the Xu Party is defeated.
The first thing mentioned in Xu Wei's letter was that Feng Bao calculated Xu Wei and Chen Hong, and was promoted to the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi.
Qian Yuan sighed, there was Huang Jin's wind-blocking wall there, and he had to toss these moths, but Feng Bao really had some scheming in this regard, and he was worthy of being a figure who could stir up trouble in history.
Maybe it should make people stare at it...... Qian Yuan faintly felt that if the trajectory of history remained unchanged, after the death of Emperor Jiajing, Chen Hong would be the eunuch in charge of the seal, but Feng Bao ...... At that time, the city company that had officially played its signboard might fall into Feng Bao's eyes.
The second thing Xu Wei mentioned was that Wu Chengqi was appointed as the governor of Taizhou Prefecture, and because of Jingcha, the Ministry of Officials had sealed the appointment and dismissal of officials until the end of Jingcha.
Qian Yuan nodded and continued to look down, the more he looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and only after a long time did he put down the letterhead, folded it and paced to the table, lit a corner on the lit candle, and quietly watched the letterhead being burned to ashes.
I don't know if it's Yan Song or Yan Shifan, this time he was ruthless enough, and Xu Jie's power was greatly reduced...... Qian Yuan pondered that it might be Yan Shifan, Yan Song's old man was not old-hearted, and his positioning was quite accurate, knowing that Emperor Jiajing would not allow him to completely knock Xu Jie into the dust.
But Yan Shifan has this kind of thought, in his opinion, anyone can take the position, even Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who is not on the right path with the Yan Mansion, or Gao Gong, who is closest to King Yu, but only Xu Jie...... I have to say that Yan Shifan's vision for people is really good.
Xu Jie has been forbearance for ten years, once it breaks out...... Yan Shifan and Qian Yuan once said in private that they were afraid that Yan's chicken and dog would not stay.
Qian Yuan closed his eyes and recalled in his heart that there were 25 people including Langzhong and Xu Jiusi of the Ministry of Works, two people including Dai Ren, the head of the Ministry of War, who were treacherous and greedy, two people including Yang Rujiang, Langzhong of the Ministry of Works, two people including Yang Rujiang, who were weak and incompetent, one hundred and two people including Li Dong, a member of the Ministry of Officials, 19 people including Lang Zhong Mengguan of the Ministry of Households, and 26 people including Xu Yanzhong, a member of the Ministry of Households, who were not talented enough.
And that's just the court trial.
The court trial is aimed at low-level officials of the fifth rank and below, and the self-presentation is aimed at the middle and high-level officials above the fourth grade, even if you are a scholar, you must also self-report, only the cabinet scholars, the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the officials of the Ministry of Heaven can be exempted.
Tsk, Wu Peng, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, is still a good person who understands the rules, and none of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Departments of Science and Daoyan are on the list, and all the officials of the Six Ministries and other miscellaneous institutions such as Taichang Temple and Tai Hospital have been selected.
Of course, the Yan family's self-reserved land engineering department is the least on the list, only seven people, less than a fraction of the other five.
And the most on the list is the ministry, forty-nine people, the reason is also obvious, although Wu Peng has been in power for more than half a year, but after all, Li Mo has served as the secretary of the ministry twice for seven years, and there are too many protégés, so Wu Peng took this opportunity to clean up.
Xu Jiusi, the most regrettable for Qian Yuan, is a very famous person, and Qian Yuan's uncle Qian Zheng is the same year, Jiajing is a fourteenth year of Jinshi, he is honest, but he has the ability to govern, and he has quite an insight into water conservancy.
Xu Wei wrote in the letter: "Xu Gong set up a stele in front of the Ya to carve vegetables, saying that the people are parents, do not know its taste, for my child, can not let there be such a color, the Ministry of Industry only Xu Gong alone is not dyed by the East Building, now go, what can I do." ”
In fact, this is an inevitable result, in the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, Xia Yan was dismissed, Xu Jiusi ordered the old slaves around him to serve with him, and then Xia Yan was arrested and returned to Beijing to be imprisoned and died, and it was Xu Jiusi who sent someone to transport his body back to his hometown for burial.
It is precisely for this reason that Xu Jiusi and Qian Zheng, who once wrote to Xia Yan, became friends and came to Suiyuan as a guest, and Qian Yuan also mentioned it in front of Gao Gong.
Xu Jiusi is a native of Guixi, Jiangxi, Xia Yan's fellow countryman, this is a practice that no one can find wrong, and the most important thing is that after Xu Jiusi Jiajing became the emperor for 14 years, he has never had anything to do with Xia Yan, so that he is still just a Lang Zhong...... You must know that in those years, Xia Yan suppressed Yan Song and held great power.
has a noble character, and there is no leakage to catch himself, even if Yan Song's father and son hate it, there is no way to do it.
The only way to get rid of him is Jingcha, because Xu Jiusi Jiajing was forty years old when he was a jinshi in the fourteenth year, and now he is seventy-two, and only Jingcha has the impeachment option of being old and sick.
And six years ago, in the thirtieth year of Jiajing, at that time, Yan Song was scolded by Emperor Jiajing for besieging Beijing the year before, and the secretary at that time was still Li Mo, and this time, Yan Shifan drove Xu Jiusi away.
The most critical thing is that the deposed officials of Jingcha...... It is not allowed to be reinstated, this rule is not even willing to be broken by Emperor Jiajing, Qian Yuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh, Yan Shifan was too ruthless this time.
Xu Wei scolded indignantly in the letter, which wrote: "Xu Gong looked up to the sky and laughed, saying, 'The old self is divided, why bother to test the merits. ’”
Qian Yuan paced back and forth in the main hall, his steps became faster and faster, and his heart became more and more irritable, Jingcha is just a dog eats a dog, you Yan Donglou is over, isn't it over to scare Xu Jie, you have to take those who can do things away by the way.
Originally, between Xu Jie, Yan Song, Qian Yuan was impartial, at least in the southeast, he relied more on Yan Song's father and son, after all, now the Yan Party is powerful, and it is impossible to bypass the Yan Party if he wants to calm down the rebellion smoothly and quickly, and even open the sea to ban trade.
But now the balance in Qian Yuan's heart began to gradually move towards Xu Jie's side...... Not because Xu Jie is better than Yan Song, but because Yan Song is worse than Xu Jie.
Well, it may not be fair to say this, it should be said that Yan Shifan is worse than Xu Fan...... Even if the latter wants to be bad, it can't be bad, and the ability is there.
Qian Yuan thought back to several other people who were highlighted by Xu Wei, Dai Ren, the director of the Ministry of War, Yang Rujiang of the Ministry of Works, Li Dong, a member of the Ministry of Officials, Meng Guan, and Xu Yanzhong, a member of the Ministry of Officials.
Among them, Li Dong, a member of the Ministry of Officials, is a native of Songjiang Shanghai, and Dai Ren, the head of the Ministry of Households, is from Guozijian and is a student of Xu Jie, who was the priest of the Guozi Priesthood, Yang Rujiang of the Ministry of Labor, and Xu Yanzhong, the Wailang, are not very clear, but since they were pointed out by Xu Wei, they should all be related to Xu Jie.
