There was an uproar in the court, public opinion in the capital was boiling, and as soon as the impeachment of the party came out, it was repeatedly added to the hot oil, and the oil pot boiled instantly. For a while, the people in the capital were panicked, and no one knew what would happen to this matter.

Yamen of the Department of Taxation.

Wang Yongji glanced at Xing Shangzhi, the new commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the expression on his face was a little helpless. Since Liu Shouyou was dismissed, Xing Shangzhi took over as the commander of Jinyiwei, and he went to the tax department early every day.

Come early, leave late, and be more attentive than the people in the tax department, for fear of missing something.

Regarding Xing Shangzhi's thoughts, Wang Yongji was clear and knew that he just wanted to make a big incident.

Compared with Liu Shouyou, Xing Shangzhi's status and prestige are not as good as Liu Shouyou, although he is now sitting in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but he is very empty, and if he is not careful, he will be beaten back to his original form, and it is even not as good as the original.

At this time, Xing Shangzhi naturally wanted to stabilize his position, after all, no one wanted to go down when the official thing went up.

For Xing Shangzhi, meritorious service is the best choice for him to stabilize his position. Now the emperor is most concerned about the tax department, and Jin Yiwei also assisted the tax department at the emperor's behest, so it is best to make meritorious contributions to this.

Xing Shangzhi has always wanted to get a vote from the tax department, which is why he is so active.

It's just that Xing Shangzhi didn't expect that there was a sudden chaos in the capital, and no one in the tax department cared about it, and none of those shops and merchants dared to make trouble, which made Xing Shangzhi depressed. How can these people suddenly be honest, they are so disappointed.

Xing Shangzhi originally wanted to take this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, Liu Shou dared to do something he didn't dare to do, and he dared to do it!

Wang Yongji's thoughts are different from Xing Shangzhi's, it's better that nothing happens, and the past is plain. For Wang Yongji, this is the best, the current situation is just right, and he is really afraid that Xing Shangzhi will make trouble.

"My lord, the business license processing in the capital has been completed!" Fang Ming stood under Wang Yongji's drooping hand and said respectfully.

Listening to Fang Ming's words, Wang Yongji breathed a sigh of relief, these days of worrying were finally over, nodded with satisfaction, Wang Yongji said with a smile: "Very good, let's finish the Shuntian Mansion in the next few days!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Fang Ming agreed, then turned around and went out.

Xing Shangzhi on the side was disappointed, what is this called!

Wang Yongji glanced at Xing Shangzhi and felt that he should still appease him. Although there was no chaos in the capital, Wang Yongji understood that this was not his own credit, but the emperor's credit.

Whether it is suppressing Xungui or the affairs in the court this time, it is all an important reason why the tax department is so smooth this time.

After all, the capital is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and this result is not unexpected, but the task of the Tax Department has not yet been completed, and this is just the beginning. Later, when you go outside and go out of the capital, that's the most important thing.

At that time, the tax department will definitely need Jinyiwei's help.

After all, although tax departments have been established in various places, there are not enough manpower, and with the resistance of local snakes, most of them are just a shelf. When it is really implemented in various places, the local snake will resist even more.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and at that time, he needs the help of Jinyiwei even more.

"Master Xing, although the affairs of Shuntianfu are over, but Da Ming is so big, I will have to rely on Lord Xing a lot in the future!" Wang Yongji said with a smile: "This time the Shuntian Mansion can be completed so smoothly, which is inseparable from the diligent confession of the criminal master. ”

"This official will play the emperor and show merit for the criminal lord!"

Xing Shangzhi listened to Wang Yongji's words, his eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face, and he hugged his fist at Wang Yongji and said: "Then thank you Lord Wang, in the future, wherever Xing is useful, Lord Wang will speak." ”

Xing Shangzhi urgently needs to show meritorious service, and Wang Yongji needs people to be blacked and do black work. Didn't the emperor send Xing Shangzhi to this point, of course Wang Yongji would choose to use Xing Shangzhi well, and the two immediately hit it off.

Qunfang Pavilion in the capital.

As a well-known green building in the capital, the positioning of Qunfang Pavilion is very high-end, most of them are Qing people, and it is also very attractive for readers to come here. In a private room at the back, several people were partying.

One of the young men was the most conspicuous, dressed in a cyan robe, and with his upright civil official, he looked suave and elegant.

This person is none other than Gu Xiancheng, the head of the ministry, but now his reputation is not so high, and his status in this group of people is not high. Unlike later generations, they were called the Three Gentlemen of Donglin.

The couplet of "the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the family, the country, the world, everything" has won Gu Xiancheng a very high reputation, and many people think that he is a righteous figure.

In fact, what the Donglin Party is best at is mouth cannon and moral kidnapping, and it is very slippery to brush up on prestige.

Now among this small gang, Gu Xiancheng's status is not so high, led by three people, namely the imperial envoy Jiang Dongzhi and Li Zhi, and one with a high status is Zhao Nanxing, the left of the Imperial Procuratorate.

"Now the imperial court is dark, the officials are corrupt, the internal affairs government is wantonly amassing wealth, the tax department is rampant, and the nobles are corrupt and misleading the country. As a disciple of a saint, it is time for us to show our talents, to be a member of the community, to make a living for the people and the Ming Dynasty. ”

Gu Xiancheng's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said slowly.

Although his status is not high, his speeches are often to the point, which is very convincing, and everyone is willing to listen to him. This time, he was the first to speak, and what he said also made everyone very satisfied, and they nodded their heads one after another.

"This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs caused trouble in Jiangnan, and the cabinet scholars and the six scholars turned a blind eye and heard it, which is really a corpse vegetarian meal."

"The court was elected as virtuous, cleansed the court, and drove these people out completely. This time, we must work together and unite people with lofty ideals to completely drive these moths out of the court, only in this way can we fill the court with loyal and upright people. ”

Everyone also nodded, and Zhao Nanxing said at this time: "The court is dim, and I am considered to stand up and serve the country." ”

Zhao Nanxing's words made everyone's momentum soar, and a sense of pride arose, and they had the momentum of giving up their own.

Unlike these people, Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi's purpose is very clear, so climb up. The two glanced at each other, and Li Zhi spoke first: "The court is dim, and we can't wait to cleanse it one day." ”

"It's very important to unite people of insight, and it's not a one-day job."

"This time, we should specialize in one person, cut off the arms of the traitorous party, and at the same time promote loyal and upright people into the court, so as to achieve the goal of cleansing the court."

Jiang Dongzhi also nodded and said: "Cabinet Chen Ge Lao, loyal and upright, known as Qingming, and the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the leader of the Qingliu, has long been dissatisfied with the affairs of the court, but he is alone and has not been able to succeed." ”

"We can take this opportunity to impeach the cabinet deputy Yu Youding, if he can be removed, then Chen Ge Lao should be able to go further."

Chen Ge Lao of the cabinet, of course, is talking about Chen Wei, Jiang Dongzhi's attitude is very obvious

It's not okay for everyone to rush up, we need to unite Chen Wei from above and find a way to push Chen Wei up. In the previous words, Jiang Dongzhi also hinted that Chen Wei is willing to accept everyone.

Zhao Nanxing also opened his mouth at this time and said: "What Lord Jiang said is extremely true, the second assistant of the cabinet has a vegetarian position, steals a high position, and forms a party with Shen Shixing for personal gain, and we can't turn a blind eye. If we can remove Yu Youding this time, it will definitely be able to boost our momentum. ”

"We can't just target Yu Youding, but also open the gap in the six parts."

Gu Xiancheng also spoke at this time, and said directly: "Although the impeachment of the Internal Affairs Office this time is huge, we all know that this is all a trick of the traitorous party, but I just want to take the benefits of the Internal Affairs Office into our own hands. ”

"The lower official is in the Ministry of Officials, and he has received more information, and this time the traitorous party impeached the Internal Affairs Office, and its intention is not to depose the Internal Affairs Office."

"Instead, he is ready to take the Internal Affairs Office into his own hands, and in the next few days, someone will write to the imperial court and put the money obtained by the Internal Affairs Office into the treasury." Gu Xiancheng said with a serious face: "The purpose of the traitorous party to seize power and enrich itself has been revealed. ”

"Shen Shixing's position is stable, and if we impeach Yu Youding, it is not appropriate to impeach others."

"However, Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household, is as cunning as a fox, and this time he planned it single-handedly, and we must not sit idly by and watch the traitorous party cause chaos in the court. This person colluded with Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, to falsely report his merits for a period of time, and accepted huge bribes in private, which was actually a moth in the imperial court. ”

Everyone understands what Gu Xiancheng means, this is to engage Zhang Xueyan!

"Zhang Xueyan and Shen Shixing are close to each other, and they are important figures in the traitorous party, if they can bring down Zhang Xueyan this time, it will be tantamount to cutting off the arms of the traitorous party." Speaking of this, Gu Xiancheng looked at Jiang Dongzhi: "This matter still needs Chen Ge Lao's help." ”

"As for the vacant position of the head of the household department, Lord Qiao Yang is loyal and upright, and the lower officials can recommend him on his behalf."

Hearing Gu Xiancheng say this, everyone understood, no wonder Gu Xiancheng knew so much, it turned out that behind him was Yang Shiqiao, the left attendant of the ministry. Yang Shiqiao is ready to seek a position as a scholar, and wants to cooperate with Chen Ji, but Gu Xiancheng is just threading the needle!

Jiang Dongzhi smiled and nodded: "Lord Yang is loyal to the country, and he is a rare loyal and upright person in the court, and he can deal with the traitorous party for many years, which shows his talent." Chen Ge's old love is famous, and he must be able to have a good conversation with Lord Yang. ”

"After the official goes back, he will go to Chen Ge Lao by himself, and Lord Gu can rest assured."

Although everyone has their own plans, their basic interests are almost the same, just lie down and go to the court, and then take the position on their own side. Whether it is pushing Chen Wei or Yang Shiqiao, the benefits of these people are big enough afterwards.

"Everyone, for the sake of the people of the world, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, we should work together to eliminate the traitorous party!" Zhao Nanxing stood up and said loudly.
