Jiajing was furious, Wang Hua, Yu Zhong, Pan Nian and other two Huaiyan political officials were finished, they were not only dismissed and investigated, but even their homes were copied.

However, there is not a lot of silver copied from their homes, even if it is the most corrupt Wang Hua, the family only copied out more than 300,000 taels, and the total amount of silver copied out from the homes of all the officials of the two Huaiyan Politics is less than 1 million taels, where does the rest of the silver go, even if they are only greedy for three years, it is more than 3 million taels.

This problem, many officials are very clear in their hearts, Wang Hua is not the biggest beneficiary, there are still people above him, if they are implicated, I don't know how many officials will be dismissed and investigated, and their homes will be raided!

Just when many officials thought that an officialdom earthquake was about to begin, the matter subsided without warning and ended.

Yang Ming did not continue to study deeply, they do not have the courage, nor do they have the ability, these years, such as the salt merchant filial piety, such a common practice, confiscated officials are very few, if you really bite it, to the end, I am afraid that eighty or ninety percent of the officials in the entire court will be implicated.

Doing it like this is almost an enemy of the entire court officials, whoever has the courage and the ability can't do it, then the only way to do it is to stop.

Jiajing may not know the cat, or he may know, but he has no intention of delving into it, it can be seen from his attitude towards Yan Song in history, his attitude towards corrupt officials is not to kill all the corrupt officials, most of the time what he values is the ability of officials to do things, capable, can do good things, greedy a little, he also uses.

The two Huaiyan corruption cases ended in a hurry, followed by the appointment and dismissal of replacement officials, according to the convention, the appointment and dismissal of such local officials is generally provided by the Ministry of Officials, and the emperor decides whether to use or not.

Zhang Bangqi had already prepared the list, and as soon as Jiajing gave his order, he quickly handed over the fold.

This time the two Huai salt political officials are equivalent to a big reshuffle, the list is a long slip, and the other officials are nothing, but the two Huai are a little problematic to transfer the salt envoy Si Du, because Zhang Bangqi proposed the former Fujian Cheng Xuan political envoy Si Zuo Senator Wang Dong.

However, it was not Jiajing who felt that there was a problem, because the fold had to be passed to the cabinet before it could be passed to him.

At this time, there were a total of three scholars in the cabinet, Li Shi, Xia Yan, and Yan Song, and most of the time, it was not Li Shi, the first assistant of the cabinet, who was in charge, but Xia Yan.

As for the reason, it is very simple, Li Shi is a loyal and honest person, he rarely fights for power with others, but Xia Yan is a person with a strong desire for power, and if he can fight for the power in his hand, he will rob it, plus Yan Song, another university scholar, is also "in the same group" with him.

Xia Yan naturally knew that Wang Dong was a person of the Yangming lineage, and he was quite dissatisfied with this appointment and dismissal, what are you kidding, the position of the Shangshu of the Nanjing Household Department was robbed by you, the governor of Shanxi was taken away by you, and so many officials of the Hanlin Academy were promoted by you.

When he saw this recital, he took it very strongly, which meant that the ticket was going to be written by him, Li Shi only frowned slightly, and did not say anything.

However, he took this note and watched it in his room for a long time, but he didn't know how to write it, because he didn't have a suitable candidate under his command to take over the position of the Lianghuai Salt Envoy.

In desperation, he could only invite Yan Song to discuss.

Yan Song is still pretending to be a grandson at this time, and he will come as soon as he is recruited.

He pretended to be respectful, walked into Xia Yan's duty room with his waist bent and asked carefully, "Brother Gongjin, what's wrong?" ”

Xia Yan raised the fold in his hand and said angrily: "These people are too much, and they will take any benefits into their own hands." ”

Seeing this, Yan Song carefully took the fold and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

However, on the surface, he pretended to have an expression of hatred and hatred, and said angrily: "Yes, they have to rob whatever fat is lacking, it's too unusual, Brother Gongjin, you say, what should I do about this?" ”

Xia Yan said angrily: "Do they think that they can do whatever they want if they control the officials?" Dream! However, if you have any suitable candidates there, I will directly write a ticket to see what the emperor will do. ”

Hehe, naturally there are candidates for a long time.

Yan Song pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then said cautiously: "This, I can't find any suitable person in a hurry, what do you think of Bai Qichang, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple?" ”

Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, the Beijing official of the fifth grade, was delegated to the locality, promoted to three levels, and served as the transfer envoy from the two Huai of the third grade, Xia Yan thought that this candidate was okay, he even picked up a piece of white paper and brushed it to write, after writing, he took the fold in Yan Song's hand and pasted the white paper on the fold.

This is the draft of the vote, that is, the opinions and suggestions written by the cabinet scholars to the emperor, they can not directly write their opinions and suggestions on the fold, can only attach a blank piece of paper, the emperor will tear off the vote after reading their proposals, and then use a red pen to write their views on the fold, which is the so-called red.

In fact, this vote does not necessarily affect the emperor's decision, but Xia Yan thinks that the candidate he proposed can replace Wang Dong, is this really the case?

Jiajing couldn't help frowning when he saw the fold and the ticket on it.

Xia Yan's words written on the ticket were too direct, and this guy actually wrote on the ticket proposal, "Wang Dong is a disciple of Wang Ji, and he is suspected of cronyism." ”！

The reason why Jiajing frowned was not because Zhang Bangqi was suspected of nepotism, but mainly because Xia Yan's insolence had not been changed.

Wang Dongnai is a disciple of Wang Ji, who doesn't know that Bai Qichang is your township party, you say that others are nepotistic, what about you?

Jiajing's opinion on Xia Yan is getting bigger and bigger, and he is actually a little biased towards Wang Dong in his heart for the appointment of the Lianghuai Salt Envoy Sidu Transfer, but for the sake of insurance, he still decided to ask the courtiers for their opinions.

These two Huaidu salt envoys do not seem to be able to meet the standards of the court, generally to the three products of the squire and the chief official of the five temples need to be discussed, from the three products of the salt envoys, can only consult the opinions of the courtiers individually.

At this time, Jiajing thought of Li Shi again.

Li Shi is the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is relatively fair, and he does not belong to either the Yangming line or the Xia Yan party, so it seems best to seek his opinion on the appointment and dismissal of this salt envoy.

The reason why Xia Yan was full of confidence that Bai Qichang could replace Wang Dong as the salt envoy of the two Huai capitals was also because of this reason, he also knew that the salt envoy from Sanpin had not yet reached the level of the court discussion, and the emperor had to consult the cabinet scholars when he could not make a decision, and the current cabinet had three scholars, he and Yan Song were against Li Shi, two to one, even if Li Shi was inclined to Wang Dong, they could win.

He is also too carried away, but he doesn't know that Jiajing is most unaccustomed to him, he wants to be tactful, maybe Jiajing will ask for his opinion, he is so direct, so arrogant, Jiajing will be strange to him.

Therefore, you can't be too arrogant, because being too arrogant can easily cause others to be disgusted.
