Chapter 429: It's the turn of the Ministry of Officials

And on Concubine Miao's side, she would definitely not have thought that she had just helped Chu Qing get out, and she would stab her in the back with a knife, and then she would only think that she had offended the queen in the back garden, so she would be retaliated by the queen.

Chu Qingli cleared his mind and said to Xiao Pan, "Let's deal with the six princes first." ”

Xiao Pan nodded in response, "Okay." After that, there was no more to say.

Chu Qingli couldn't help it, and turned his head to look at Xiao Pan again, "Don't you even ask why?" He thought that Xiao Pan would ask her why she made such a decision, but he didn't, but Chu Qingli said whoever it was.

Xiao Pan looked back at Chu Qingli, his eyes flashed like bright stars, "I believe you, so I don't need a reason." Xiao Pan said categorically to Chu Qingli. As husband and wife, there is no need for suspicion of each other, only total trust.

Chu Qingli just felt a warm current in his eyes, and he was suffocated by Xiao Pan's next sentence, "Besides, for me, it's as easy to deal with anyone." "Although Xiao Pan is outstanding, and the network power in his hands is not inferior to that of the eldest prince and the sixth prince, he is very modest and steady on weekdays, and he has never been so grand as today. Facing Xiao Pan, who was rarely proud, Chu Qingli was also unceremoniously, and only Chu Qingli's eyes replied to him.

However, Chu Qingli was still very curious about who Xiao Pan was going to attack this time. "Whose handle did you catch this time?" Chu Qingli asked Xiao Pan with a smile, as long as he was a person in the court, as long as he had done something wrong, Xiao Pan always had the ability to find out his bottom clearly.

Xiao Pan hooked the corners of his mouth and said in a loud voice: "Wu Jingzhi, the secretary of the ministry." ”

"Officials? Is he the man of the Six Princes? Chu Qingli only knew that the household department was from Miao Guifei, but she really never paid attention to the ministry, and she didn't expect that he was also standing in Miao Guifei's camp.

Xiao Pan held Cheng'er's arm with both hands, lifted him above his head, looked at Cheng'er and giggled, Xiao Pan's face also had a thick smile. "The system of selecting the rank of the officials, the method of deposing the class, the canon of the award, and the method of determining the final system, many new officials in the court need to go through Wu Jingzhi's hands, so that the appointment of anyone is not a matter of Wu Jingzhi's words, so the six princes are young, so they can have the power to match the eldest prince." After Miao Guifei's father was promoted to the secretary of the military department, Miao Guifei's ambition gradually showed, and she used the secretary to arrange many people in the court.

Chu Qingli nodded, although this official does not sound as strong as the military department, nor does the household department have money, but the appointment and dismissal of this official is a major matter related to the country, and the power in his hands is not small, and there are not a few people who pay bribes on weekdays, and if they are greedy for money, it is also extremely easy.

"What you said, but the officials accepted bribes and used private power in the imperial examination?" Chu Qingli guessed to himself, judging from the power in the hands of the Ministry of Officials, it should only be such a crime.

Nowadays, when the emperor attaches great importance to the selection of talents, he requires objectivity and fairness, and if the official department really has this move, I am afraid that the emperor will be furious.

Xiao Pan turned his head to look at Chu Qingli with a mysterious smile, "Yes, but it's not." ”

Chu Qingli was whetted by Xiao Pan, yes, yes, no, yes, yes, yes, yes, what does it mean? Chu Qing couldn't resist the curiosity in his heart, and asked Xiao Pan and said, "What do you mean by this?" Could it be that you have other tricks? ”

Walking to the door of the room, Chu Qing saw the nurse waiting at the door from a distance, at this hour, it should be the nurse who is going to take her down to feed. Xiao Pan handed Cheng'er into the hands of the nurse, and then pulled Chu Qing into the room.

Xiao Pan pulled Chu Qingli to sit on the stool, and he sat down beside her. Xiao Pan supported his arms, supported his chin and looked at Chu Qingli, and slowly explained to her: "If it is suddenly mentioned that Wu Jingzhi has selfish intentions in the imperial examination and secretly accepts bribes, I am afraid that the emperor will be suspicious, after all, now is not the time for the scientific examination." ”

"And what are you going to do?" The emperor is indeed more suspicious, if he mentions it rashly, it is not certain whether he can severely punish the officials and the secretary, but the emperor will strictly investigate who can find out the affairs of the officials.

Xiao Pan took out a complaint from his waist and handed it to Chu Qingli. Chu Qingli took it suspiciously and looked at it carefully. The charges listed above this complaint are the crimes of Wu Jingzhi, the secretary of the ministry. Seeing Wu Jingzhi's name, Chu Qingli's pupils dilated, and he became interested.

On top of this crime, Wu Jingzhi's robbery of people's daughters and beating people to death were clearly written, Chu Qingli felt indignant just by looking at this complaint.

After reading it, Chu Qingli was very annoyed in his heart, as an important minister of the imperial court, how could he do such a thing? Chu Qingli looked up at Xiao Pan, looked at Xiao Pan with a little surprise and asked, "Is what you said above true?" ”

Xiao Pan nodded slightly, "I sent someone to investigate this matter, and the truth is the same as what is written in the complaint." ”

Xiao Pan glanced at the complaint again, the time on it was written three months ago, "There are all people who have died, Wu Jingzhi has nothing to do?" Chu Qingli was a little annoyed, it seemed that Wu Jingzhi's connections were really all over the government and the opposition, so he was able to suppress this matter without revealing any rumors.

Xiao Pan stretched out his hand and held the complaint between his two fingers, and said carefully to Chu Qingli: "Wu Jingzhi has the ability and ambition, but the only drawback is that he is a good woman, and there are groups of wives and concubines in the family, but he is always messing with flowers and grass outside, and when he sees a beautiful woman, he wants to forcibly go back to the house and be his own concubine." The woman written in this complaint was taken by Wu Jingzhi on the street, but she would rather die than obey, and the woman's brother stopped Wu Jingzhi's men, but he was seriously injured and died. The woman's family appealed, but the complaint was suppressed when it reached the yamen, and not only did it not pose any threat to Wu Jingzhi, but the woman's family was threatened by the yamen and not allowed to publicize the matter. ”

After listening to Xiao Pan's words, Chu Qingli was so angry that he slapped the table suddenly, "How can this be reasonable, in the capital, at the foot of the sky, such a thing can happen, and it is impossible to bring the culprit to justice." Chu Qingli only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest.

Xiao Pan took Chu Qingli's hand, held it in his hand and rubbed it gently, he felt sorry for Chu Qingli's palm just after slapping the table, and his hands were a little red and swollen. Xiao Pan gently persuaded Chu Qingli and said, "Don't be angry, I will definitely expose his crimes and let him be punished as he deserves." ”
