Chapter 856: Talking to your face
Yu Niang was grateful to Shen Xi for his "extra kindness", left gifts, and watched the people who supervised the yamen send Su Xiu and the people of the Jiaofang Division out of the post house, and then she left after saluting respectfully. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the person left, Tang Yin didn't know where to get out of here, and asked, "Shen Zhongcheng, you just accepted the money and let the person go?" This person is sneaky, and there must be deceit. ”
On the way south, Tang Yin didn't see that Yu Niang was a woman, but he saw that Yu Niang had bad intentions.
Shen Xi glanced at him, didn't reply, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly as if to say, what you can find, how can I not be aware of it?
Shen Xi looked at the silver money in the box and made sure that the silver did not have any marks, so he nodded with satisfaction: "It is better to have silver to earn than no silver, come on, carry the box to the backyard and keep it carefully." ”
Regarding the money sent by Yu Niang, even if Shen Xi urgently needs it at present, he can't transfer it to Hui Niang and Li Jin for use. Shen Xi is now afraid that Yu Niang is tracking Li Jin and Hui Niang behind her back, and now only Yu Niang has surfaced, if Jiang Liwei is hiding in the dark, it will be a big trouble.
Yu Niang once stated that she and Jiang Liwei are not all the way, but who knows if this is an illusion shown by Yu Niang?
Shen Xi has known Yu Niang for more than six years, he has never understood this woman, an old woman has no husband, and he has never seen her have offspring, which means that she has no future and no worries, which needs to be treated carefully, because she will never be able to see through what she is going to do next.
On the other hand, Yu Niang took a sedan chair to the Guangzhou Mansion Teaching Workshop Division, with Shen Xi releasing people, Su Xiu and others returned to the Teaching Workshop, the largest Fengyue place in Guangzhou City finally regained a little vitality, and at this time the upper and lower people were packing up their belongings and preparing to reopen.
Yu Niang took Yunliu and Xi'er in to greet Su Xiu, and then closed the door and negotiated for about an hour. At this moment, the officers and soldiers of the brigade suddenly appeared and surrounded the sect division.
Hearing the report, Su Xiu hurriedly came out to check the situation, and asked nervously at the door: "Official, what are you doing, have I been released when I feel unwell?" ”
The leader of the hundred households said: "Release is release, but you have not finally been exonerated from the crime, so far, you are still carrying the sin of 'a hundred rods and two thousand miles', Lord Governor said, this is called ...... On bail, you will be placed in custody until you are formally convicted. If someone comes, guard all exits of the workshop, and no one will be allowed to enter or leave for a few days! ”
The jade lady who listened to the inside of the gate was annoyed that Shen Xi was going back on her word, and suddenly noticed a problem...... I am also a person who is prohibited from entering. Thinking of this, she hurriedly went out and asked, "This official, I am here to visit a friend in the Teaching Division, can I leave?" ”
Baihu said angrily: "Aren't your ears good? Since you are in the workshop now, don't think about coming out for a while, if there is a problem with the daily supply, the Governor will send someone to bring it to you...... It's only a few days, bear with me! ”
Yu Niang was helpless, in fact, she had already expected that something might go wrong in front of her, but she didn't expect Shen Xi to do one thing in front of her and one behind her back, and when she met politely and reasonably, she was put under house arrest with the people of the Teaching Workshop Division in a blink of an eye, as a prison, the post house and the Teaching Workshop Division were actually not much different.
Yu Niang returned to the courtyard of the Teaching Workshop Division, and Xi'er, who heard the conversation outside, blushed, and said in shame: "The master, let's kill it!" ”
Before Yu Niang could reply, Yun Liu hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be reckless, there are officers and soldiers all around, and I don't know if there are archers in the distance...... Besides, even if we rush out and kill the officers and soldiers to be complicit in rebellion, how will we do things for the court in the future? ”
Baihu led people into the Jiaofang Division, and said loudly: "The Governor has an order to search all the rooms in the Jiaofang Division, look for stolen goods, and confiscate weapons at the same time. Come on, search! ”
Xiucai couldn't explain the reason when he encountered the soldiers, these officers and soldiers acted according to orders, and they didn't care whether anyone would resist at all, and rushed into the first floor, the second floor and the backyard in various rooms, looting all kinds of documents and materials in the Teaching Workshop Division, and disarming all the blades, even the sword that Xi'er was carrying.
Fortunately, these officers and soldiers did not infringe on the happy women in the Teaching Workshop Division, and even the gold, silver, jewelry and other property were not touched, which did not arouse strong resistance from the Teaching Workshop Division.
Seeing Xi'er's anger, Yu Niang trembled all over, and reminded in a low voice: "Bear with the calm for a while, take a step back, and open the sea and sky, and let's think about it in the long run after nightfall." Some things must not be messed with the rules, they represent the government, once we resist, we can't explain the reason! ”
Xi'er has been doing things for Yu Niang in the past few years, and as she gets older, her temper has calmed down, but sometimes she still seems a little anxious.
Feeling teased by Shen Xi, Xi'er was angry in her heart, but Shen Xi was in charge, and she was just a fine work with an official name, not even a formal official position, and she couldn't publicize it, so she had to be polite when she saw Soap Li on the street, let alone a third-grade member like Shen Xi.
“…… Do you really think I'm going to let you do whatever you want in town? ”
Shen Xi returned to the temporary study in the backyard of the official post, and then he had several copies of the recital to be written in the capital, which was his routine after he took office as the governor of the three provinces.
He didn't want to hand over the initiative to the local yamen, whether it was the previous Fuzhou incident, or the various things after he took office in Wuzhou, and the reluctance to move the temporary yamen to Guangzhou Mansion in desperation, as well as the subsequent investigation and handling of the official salt case and the officials of the Guangdong Salt Division Promotion Division, etc., are all in his report.
As long as these recitals reach the capital, at least Emperor Hongzhi and the ministers of the court will not be biased to listen to and believe in the local recitals.
At this time, it is time for the cheap Yue Zu to play a role, anyway, Xie Qian is a cabinet scholar, and he has the power to vote, and he can help him say a few words when he is in the court.
If you don't help me with my words, the court will hold me accountable, and your granddaughter will have to live a hard life and eat bran with me; If you hit me behind my back, I will take my anger on your granddaughter and let her know that the Shen family has strict family laws.
Of course, he was reluctant to let Shen Xi abuse Xie Hengnu's well-behaved and lovely little daughter-in-law, but he had to let Xie Qian have this illusion, otherwise he would really be isolated in the court.
If there is no one in the court, whether it is a political enemy or someone who does not like him, he can be dismissed from office at any time, and even ask him for his guilt.
……
……
Shen Xi kept informing the imperial court of what he had done, but in the capital, Xie Qian had a headache about Shen Xi's "misdeeds" that had been submitted to the local government one after another.
In the study of Xie Mansion, Xie Qian was holding a few recitals in his hand, and Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, was sitting next to him.
In the summer of the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, two things happened in the cabinet: one was that Liu Jian was sick again, and the other was that Li Dongyang said that he was not sick, and the court resumed the situation at the end of the first year, and all matters were handled by Xie Qian.
Now this is the second time that Xie Qian has exercised the authority of the first assistant for a long time.
Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, although he is not in the cabinet, but he is the head of the six ministers, and Xie Qian will take the initiative to exchange views with Ma Wensheng on some personnel assessment appointments and dismissals, even if it is not a matter of the ministry, because of Ma Wensheng's rich experience in governance, Xie Qian will also invite Ma Wensheng to refer to it on his behalf.
Xie Qian raised the notebook in his hand, and said angrily: "You said that this stinky boy is making trouble everywhere, and before he arrives, he will give the political envoy of Fujian Youbu, and let people commit suicide in prison in fear of crime, doesn't this kind of thing make the court lose face?" ”
The head of a provincial government, was appointed by the imperial court to do it, not to mention the Hongzhi Dynasty, this kind of thing is extremely rare since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one expected that Shen Xi, the new official, had just taken office and the three fires were in full swing.
Ma Wensheng said: "Fujian's punishment is not also spoken for him, according to the procuratorial envoys, the commanders, and the envoys, and the envoys are not also speaking for him, and it is clear that this matter is related to the local bandits, and the political envoys are not only shielding the bandits in the city, but also colluding with the Japanese bandits......"
Xie Qian sighed: "That being said, I'm afraid that there will be some trouble at the court meeting tomorrow." Even if it is the truth in the local area, if His Majesty asks, how shall I say it? A provincial feudal platform and the Japanese Kou secretly communicate with each other, won't it make my Ming Dynasty and the opposition shameful? ”
In the matter of Fuzhou, Shen Xi had the Fujian Metropolitan Command Envoy, the Xingdu Command Envoy and the Inspectorate Envoy Department to come forward, and all the evidence pointed to the right political envoy Shang Yingkui shielding the bandit leader Zi Qian, and he had an affair with the Japanese Bandits, Shen Xi did this is understandable, but the case is widely implicated, involving many ministers who recommended Shang Yingkui, and also involving the face of the royal family and the imperial court.
Xie Qian is the most sleek and sophisticated in his daily work, and he thinks about the problem very clearly in advance.
"Let's play it in the morning."
Ma Wensheng reminded, "Before nightfall, there is still time to present it to the Qianqing Palace, Your Majesty may stay in the middle of the house, and this matter will be over, isn't it also the best policy?" ”
Xie Qian thought about it for a while, and suddenly felt that it made sense.
He can sense that the government and the opposition will be disgraced because of this matter, and Emperor Hongzhi will inevitably feel that Long's face is damaged when he sees this kind of thing happening in the place, if he chooses to press down the book, then Shang Yingkui's death will be reported as a violent death in office, and all funerals will remain the same, and things will not need to be publicized.
In this way, the face of the imperial court is preserved, and there will be no rumors and rumors among the people that threaten the foundation of the rule.
Xie Qian patted his thigh: "Brother Negative Tu is reasonable, I will draft a ticket and hand it over to the celebrant ......"
Xie Qian has done a lot of practical things in the past two years and won the respect of Emperor Hongzhi and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers, but recently Ma Wensheng found that Xie Qian's performance was abnormal after Shen Xi left Beijing, and he tasted something from it, and he didn't say anything, but he took the initiative to take time out to be Xie Qian's "staff".
Because the matter of the Guangdong Salt Class Lifting Division had not yet reached the capital, Xie Qian did not know that Shen Xi had done another earth-shattering event in Guangdong, but he was still worried:
"Before leaving, this kid talked to me about salt introduction, and I guess he wanted to use salt introduction to raise military funds. I asked the transfer department, this year's Guangdong summer salt introduction, this time should have been sent to Guangzhou Mansion and Lianzhou Mansion, I heard that this kid went to Guangzhou from Wuzhou, don't want to play the idea of salt introduction, right? ”
Ma Wensheng nodded: "The old man has also heard about the Guangdong salt class, this pool of water is very muddy, I am afraid that he will not go to turbidity and clear, but the water will be stained." ”
Xie Qian's eyebrows and beard wrinkled into a ball on his face: "There's no third way to go?" ”
Ma Wensheng pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head.
Xie Qian thinks he knows Shen Xi very well, and thinks that this kid has the ability, but the young man has ambition and has a lot of problems, but Ma Wensheng has a rigorous evaluation of Shen Xi as a bystander, in Ma Wensheng's view, Shen Xi is a young man who dares to think and do, and is brave and strategic, and is destined to have a promising future in the future.
Ma Wensheng sighed: "Guangdong is not like Fujian, the forces of the three divisions of the yamen are intertwined, and the heads of the three divisions are all famous in the local area, which can be described as highly respected and not easy to get along!" He is isolated in Guangdong, and if he plays chess too quickly, it is very easy to get into a quagmire, and he can't extricate himself from it! ”
