Chapter 175

Zhu Yidao firmly remembered this person, and early the next morning, he went straight to the yamen of the guard. Thanks to him, the Yamen of the Right Office has now become the Yamen of the Guard, and the originally lazy staff suddenly felt that they had infinite motivation and a hundredfold spirit! What does it mean to be promising? This is called a future, followed by a good boss, before he did anything, he was promoted and raised! Where can you find such a good thing? Therefore, everyone has a weak mental outlook and devotes themselves to unlimited work with limited energy.

When Lao Zhu pointed out to them the important task of thoroughly investigating a dismissed official named Gu Xiancheng, everyone began to send a large number of spies to Jiangsu without saying a word, and at the same time investigated his former colleagues in Beijing, and inevitably found Qin Mi's head.

Qin Mi felt very aggrieved, how did he offend Jinyiwei? In the past two days, some people have followed at work, and some people have followed after work, and a mysterious figure has also appeared next to my home. He was a little scared, he was in the Beijing Division, he was standing tall and entering the door, being a man with his tail between his legs, he had never quarreled with anyone, nor had he scolded anyone in a book, why did the Jinyi guard keep an eye on him? He pondered hard and didn't know what went wrong, so in desperation, he planned to take the risk to go to Zhu Yidao to ask about the situation and see if he could help talk in Jinyiwei.

When Qin Mi explained his intentions, Lao Zhu slapped his head suddenly! I forgot that he had been in the ministry all along, so after such a check, didn't the flood wash the Dragon King Temple, and his own people didn't recognize his own people? Quickly find the person in charge of the yamen and scold him, telling him that this person will be investigated in the future, and all the people will be withdrawn! Only then did he say to him seriously: "You tell me well, how much do you know about Gu Xiancheng?" ”

It turned out that he was checking Gu Xiancheng, Qin Mi was very determined. But there is nothing wrong with this person, it is nothing more than recommending a person he doesn't like to the emperor, so he was removed from office and disgraced. On weekdays, Gu Xiancheng rarely had contact with other colleagues, like Qin Mi, he commuted to and from work normally every day, but some students from the Hanlin Academy and Guozijian often came to him, but he never talked about anything in the yamen, as soon as they came, Gu Xiancheng hurriedly left with them nervously, and he didn't know where he went, besides, this person said very little, and he didn't have any friends in the yamen, he seemed to look down on his colleagues in the ministry.

Zhu Yidao nodded thoughtfully, Qin Mi didn't seem to be able to ask anything here, and he and Gu Xiancheng seemed to be just nodding friends, how much could they know?

In the evening, people from the yamen of the guard came to report the situation. I can't help but admit that the high efficiency of Jinyiwei is really terrible, and it has penetrated into all aspects of society, without them, Zhu Yidao can imagine what Daming is like. The emperor is not in the court, and the shortage of ministers is so serious, without Jinyiwei and Dongchang, this state machine may really stop functioning. So he once again generously took out his private money, and gave one hundred taels of silver to everyone in the yamen who insisted on working, and soon it will be the eighteenth year of Wanli, which is regarded as a reward for everyone's work in the seventeenth year, and I hope that in the upcoming eighteen years, we will continue to work hard and do a better job!

The words are in place, and the silver is also in place. One hundred taels of silver, when did the yamen have so much with a dead salary? I don't count what I did privately, but this represents the intention of thousands of households in the guard. All the people are very emotional, after so many years, they can finally meet a good boss, and they really have to find a good boss when they come out. In a thousand thanks, the reporting personnel reported the details of Gu Xiancheng in detail.

Gu Xiancheng, the word uncle, is a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu. Wanli participated in the township examination in four years, and Xie Yuan, who won the first place in the examination, took the Jinshi examination three years later, and the results were mediocre, and he was assigned to the household department as a director. After becoming an official, the least favorite person in his life is Zhang Juzheng, how awkward and how to come on weekdays, as long as Zhang Juzheng agrees, he will definitely oppose it; As long as he opposes it, Gu Xiancheng will definitely support it. Zhang Juzheng is very popular, but there is no way, this person does not enter the oil and salt, and he can't find any handles, and he is also a household head, but he does the work of the official every day.

But he didn't expect to be promoted and make a fortune when he did this, and he worked in the position of head of the household department for more than ten years, until Zhang Juzheng died, and he could be regarded as turning over.

He is extremely incompatible with Zhang Juzheng, and everyone in the household department is well known. For example, when Comrade Zhang was seriously ill, everyone went to the book to pray, but he didn't go; Others saw that he was so unlucky, and took it upon himself to sign his name on the song, but after he found out, he resolutely disagreed, and had to cross out his name, which was not ordinary persistence. However, it doesn't bore everyone very much, after all, there are more people who are against Zhang Juzheng, there are not many Gu Xiancheng more, and there are no less than him, so that Zhang Juzheng attaches great importance to and retaliates, Gu Xiancheng is far from this level.

After Zhang Juzheng died, he went to the Ministry of Officials, and the strange thing is that most of those who used to oppose the old Comrade Zhang and survived until now were promoted, but Gu Xiancheng was still a six-grade chief when he arrived at the Ministry of Officials. I also took three years off in between, and I didn't get any promotions. But what puzzled everyone was that this guy was not impatient or impatient, and he still had that stubborn virtue on weekdays.

When the case of Sun Long and ** Xing came out, the two of them cut their posts one by one and went home, and even the first assistant Wang Xijue resigned, but this person stood still, not only that, but he was soon promoted to a level and became the secretary of the Ministry of Meritorious Service. But this is also reasonable, after all, there must be someone to do things in the ministry, how can it be done when everything is done?

But what is strange is that when Sun Long was just dismissed, Wang Xijue planned to arrange his cronie Luo Wanhua to the position of the left attendant of the ministry, but Gu Xiancheng strongly opposed it and recommended Chen Younian, the imperial envoy of the right capital, and even won the battle.

Wang Xijue is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, the scholar of the Jianji Palace, the secretary of the Ministry of Scholars and the Prince Taibao, from the first product. And Gu Xiancheng is just a five-pin Langzhong who has just been promoted.

But Gu Xiancheng has won. You must know that Wang Xijue is the emperor behind him, there is nothing behind him, and he can't see anything.

This made Zhu Yidao feel strange! It doesn't make sense, how could Wang Xijue not win a small five-pin Langzhong?

A while ago, the emperor asked everyone to recommend talents to enter the cabinet and replace Zhao Zhigao's position, and he recommended Wang Jiaping, whom the emperor disliked and hated the most, so he was driven home by Wanli. This temporarily ended his officialdom career. But this Gu Xiancheng didn't stop after returning home, took his younger brother Gu Yuncheng and Gao Panlong, reorganized a Donglin Academy, and chatted with a group of scholars and down-and-out talented scholars and degraded officials all day long, discussing the government and politics, and scolding the national policy. The influence is getting bigger and bigger, so much so that now the whole of Wuxi is proud to be able to enter Donglin Academy! The dignified Wuxi prefect saw him respectfully and respectfully!

Zhu Yidao listened, and felt that the hairs on his body stood up. An official who has been dismissed from his post can continue to influence the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee through such methods and means! And officials with higher official positions than him, such as Chen Younian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, are also obedient to him! He also had a close relationship with several officials from the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment. They are like comrades with common ideals and interests, who do not care about their status and status, but only about the size of their beliefs!

No wonder the Donglin Party has been able to dominate the Ming Dynasty for decades, and no wonder the Donglin Party can fight to the death with the eunuchs and ministers! How can we get to this point without that kind of common belief and common ideal that is above all else? But the emperor may not know about this matter, Lao Zhu feels that it is necessary for him to let the emperor know what these officials he has been dismissed are doing? Are they really retiring from their influence and retiring?

When Wanli heard Zhu Yidao's advice, he didn't say a word, just gently blew the fine Tieguanyin in his hand and tasted it carefully. After a long time, he raised his head: "National affairs, family affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned; The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear! You can say that again! Is it just that he cares and listens? National affairs, family affairs, world affairs, I dare not know; The sound of the wind and the rain and the sound of reading, I dare not listen! It's a pity, I may not know everything about this state and family affairs! ”

"But the emperor, in the long run, the Ming officialdom will be turned upside down by these people! Don't be careful! What are they afraid of when dismissal does not bring an official to their knees? Zhu Yidao was worried, and he tried his best to avoid the situation of the Donglin Party's chaotic government. He had never been so worried about national politics as he was now, he had no interest in changing history, he just didn't want the tragedy to happen in front of him but was indifferent.

"Wei Zhongxian, the celebrant supervisor, I heard that I have a good relationship with you?" Wanli did not continue the topic, but asked the question with interest. Lao Zhu was a little confused, why did the emperor ask this? He still replied respectfully: "Yes, my subordinates saved his life when he was still in prison in Dongchang Prison." ”

"In the future, the world of the celebrant will probably be this person. You have to stay away from him, can you watch him, and you have to look at this small Donglin Academy......" Wanli stood up tiredly, wrapped his robe tightly, and turned around and walked deeper into the hall. Zhu Yidao clearly saw that his fat body seemed to have lost a lot of weight compared to the past. Does he really care about politics? Does it really matter to Da Ming? If this is the case, then why would he watch Donglin Academy grow bigger without exercising any control?
