Chapter 641: The Old and New Pavilion Elders Make Suggestions

Seeing Suo Changsheng again, Zhu Yijun was both full of vitality and vigilance, because this was simply gambling.

Although he knew that Li Mi could control Suo Changsheng, his life was in Suo Changsheng's hands after all, and he had done so many bad things to Suo Changsheng and others, how could he let Zhu Yijun rest assured?

However, Suo Changsheng did not disappoint him, because he did not use Gu techniques, but used serious medical skills, and the prescriptions prescribed were also subject to the deliberations of the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital, and he did not handle any medicines.

The imperial doctors did not dare to comment on his house, but they came to the conclusion that even if there was no miracle effect, it would never be poisonous and unfavorable, which also made Zhu Yijun feel very relieved.

Zheng Guifei and Zhu Changxun were by their side all day, but Zhu Yijun was a little cold to Zhu Changluo, which shows that in the past few years, Zheng Guifei's mother and son have also gained Zhu Yijun's complete trust.

Li Mi is concerned about this, but he can't show anything on his face, he is now the imperial history of the left capital, he must be impartial, and he must not stand on the sidelines, otherwise official affairs will not be carried out.

After Suo Changsheng showed Zhu Yijun for a few days, Zhu Yijun was really in good spirits, and even when he could speak, the entire harem was also full of festivity, and the entire gloomy imperial city seemed to come alive.

Li Mi and Chen Ju had a private talk, although it was said that it was impossible to take back the control of the inner factory, but fortunately, Chen Ju remembered Li Mi's kindness to Li Jingfei and did not clean the inner factory, and the original team of Li Mi was still in the inner factory, which was also excellent news.

After all, Li Mi has the work experience of Dali Temple, and it is not difficult to take over the errand, but Li Mi did not start work immediately, and many people are worried, for fear that Li Mi will turn the officialdom upside down, but Li Mi is quiet.

The more quiet Li Mi is, the more bottomless these officials become, because they can't see through Li Mi, and they are even more uneasy.

Fortunately, the annual leave has finally arrived, and the officials generally take refuge and go home for the New Year, because Zhu Yijun's health has improved, and the atmosphere of the New Year is also very joyful and harmonious.

The autumn and winter girl guarded Li Mi's house alone, and she almost cried blind in the past few years, but after Li Mi came back, everything was fine.

Li Mi is not an outsider, Suo Changsheng and the others live in the house together, and everyone has a happy New Year.

During this year's festival, it is inevitable to usher in the send-off, and many officials rarely have a hot meal at home, and during the annual vacation, they visit relatives and friends, and more often climb to the official and unite with colleagues.

Many people also have the courage to visit Li Mi, and this Chinese New Year is not good for people to eat closed-door soup, Li Mi also does not refuse to come, but the gifts are not accepted.

Xiang Mu, Shi Chongsheng and others have never left Li Mi's house since they returned to Beijing from Li Mi, and they don't need Li Mi to pay a special visit, but there is a person, Li Mi really needs to pay New Year's greetings to him.

On the fourth and fifth days of the new year, Li Mi brought a simple gift, Zhen Mi and Zhang Huangting, and came to Shen Li's side.

After Shen Li was kicked out of the cabinet, he did not immediately return to his hometown Shangqiu, but still stayed in the capital, because Zhu Geng would always secretly find Shen Li to find a way when he encountered undecided.

Shen Li also kept an eye on the court situation, and knew that Li Mi had returned, but he knew the joints best and never bothered Li Mi.

After all, he was kicked out of the cabinet, and if he went to Li Mi at this time, he would inevitably cause criticism for Li Mi, and he was unwilling to do such a thing.

Seeing that Li Mi brought Zhen Mi and Zhang Huangting to pay New Year's greetings, Shen Li's heart was also warm, after all, he was over seventy years old, and the older he was, the more affectionate he was.

Shen Li's family is also happy, Li Mi visited, it was joyful, after eating, Li Mi followed Shen Li to the study, just sat down, the door came to report, saying that someone came to Shen Ge to pay New Year's greetings.

New Year's greetings, this kind of thing, the most difficult to shirk, but today is Li Mi to visit the New Year, how can Shen Li deal with those idle people, etc., immediately let Menzi tell Menzi, must say some auspicious words, good words, give a return gift, and send people out happily.

But who knew that the door came back soon after going out, and brought back a person, Li Mi was also happy when he saw it, isn't this Ye Xianggao!

Ye Xianggao and Shen Li have always had a close relationship, and their political views are also similar, the two are friends, and this time Li Mi recommended Ye Xianggao to enter the cabinet, which also won Shen Li's heart, and the three of them were happy to get together.

Ye Xianggao also came to throw stones to ask for directions, after all, joining the cabinet is different from other official positions, with Shen Li, a ready-made guide, how can he waste the opportunity.

Li Mi came to pay New Year's greetings this time, and the same is true, Shen Li's officialdom wisdom is their most valuable wealth, and if they want to meet various challenges after the year, Shen Li's experience and guidance are the most indispensable.

Part of the reason why Secretary Li did not put the three fires of the new officials for a long time after he took office was that these officials relaxed their vigilance when they waited for the end of the year, and the fire could only be effective.

And another reason is to wait for Shen Li's opinion.

Shen Li first said to Ye Xianggao: "After entering the cabinet, the first task is to ask the household department to check the amount of silver borrowed over the years, focusing on the arrears of the salt section of the transportation department, in addition, the amount of silver in the Guanglu Temple and other divisions must also be checked, in a word, everything related to silver, you must submit it for inventory." ”

Emperor Wanli attaches great importance to money, and Shen Li's suggestion to Ye Xianggao can be said to have grasped Emperor Wanli's mind.

As long as Ye Xianggao achieves financial achievements, he will be able to get the approval of Emperor Wanli, and he will be stable after entering the cabinet.

If Emperor Wanli can't trust Ye Xianggao, what will he talk about in the future?

Moreover, as long as you reach out to check the silver, you will inevitably find out countless corrupt officials and rice worms, then Li Mi, the new Zuodu Yushi, will be able to intervene and join forces with Ye Xianggao, both of them are new officials, but the three fires are burned together, and the effect can be imagined!

"The matter in the court, to put it bluntly, is the word balance, and for the emperor, it is a combination of grace and power, and for our cabinet ministers, it is a degree of relaxation."

"If it is too strong and the persecution is too tight, it will inevitably make the officials attack it en masse, but if it is too indulgent and inactive, so while grasping the inventory of the money, it is necessary to make up for the officialdom in other aspects......"

Shen Li said this, that is, Li Mi was fascinated by it, although he had been upright all his life, but after all, he was a cabinet minister, and the way of officialdom was already easy for Shen Li, who was in his seventies.

"How do you make amends?" Ye Xianggao also asked urgently.

Shen Li looked at him, and then said, "This is going to be Li Mi's appearance." ”

"Me?"

Li Mi was also puzzled: "I, the new Zuodu Yushi, is really indulgent at the moment, and I am almost useless, how can I make up for it?" ”

Shen Li was also amused by Li Mi.

"Zuodu Yushi is not just about arresting people, when necessary, the effect of releasing people will be better, and then arresting people after releasing them, this is the most clever skill."

"Release? Who to put? Li Mi finally understood, it turned out that Shen Li's so-called reaming was to let Li Mi release people, but if he wanted to release people, he must find out the reason, and if he was innocent and wronged, he would have to let him go.

"If you let go of three people, it will be enough to make up for the resentment in the officialdom."

When Ye Xianggao heard this, he also pricked up his ears, this is not a general solution, but a hand-in-hand teaching, almost feeding one bite at a time!

"These three people, one is Li Sancai, the governor of Caoyun, one is recommended by the Manchu Dynasty of Xianning Zhixian County, and the other needs to be reinstated as an official, which is Mr. Gu Xiancheng of Donglin."

Who this Li Sancai and the Manchu Dynasty recommend are, Li Mi is not clear, but Mr. Donglin Gu Xiancheng's famous name, Li Mi has still heard of it, because it can be said that without Gu Xiancheng, there would be no later Donglin Party, Gu Xiancheng is the founder of Donglin Academy!

The three people proposed by Shen Li are also really strange, one is the dignified governor of Caoyun, the other is only a magistrate, and the last one is a gentleman who has been deposed and can only return to his hometown to give lectures, how can he not find the "public anger" caused by the investigation of the silver two?

Li Mi couldn't see it clearly, but Ye Xianggao knew it!

Without waiting for Shen Li to explain, Ye Xianggao had already smiled bitterly.

Seeing Ye Xianggao's expression, Li Mi also cast questioning eyes.

Ye Xianggao explained: "Shen Ge old Gaocai, this is indeed a good medicine, the reason why we checked the silver two, at best, is to enrich the treasury, to be selfish, is to curry favor with the emperor." ”

"And to curry favor with the emperor, the price is to offend the Manchu civil and military, although it is a little weird, as if to say that the Manchu civil and military and the emperor are opposite, but this is true."

"As for these three people, they can't beat them when they look at the eight poles, but they all have one thing in common, they all let the emperor drive them away or arrest them, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are constantly admonishing them to let these three people go."

"Gu Xiancheng founded Donglin Academy, united with the eight gentlemen of Donglin, initiated the Donglin Conference, formulated the Donglin Covenant, became the leader of the Donglin Party, preached politics, commented on the court situation, and many officials in the DPRK and China were already his supporters, and there were not 1,000 but 800 recitals to reinstate Gu Xiancheng, but the emperor did not send them all."

"As for Li Sancai, he provoked the emperor's disgust because he invited the ministers to make up for the ministers, selected the Taoist officials, and used the abandoned ministers, etc., which of the abandoned ministers was not nodded by the emperor? Li Sancai has repeatedly asked for it, can the emperor be happy? ”

Li Sancai also said that the deposed ministers only discussed their own opinions and offended the authorities, but they were reprimanded and never used, they were not against the emperor and were loyal, but they were pretended to be the power of the lord's anger to imprison the ministers, and they used the name of rebellion against the lord to cover up their own mistakes. Lose the country and the king, why not! ”

"Li Sancai's words were made for Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, and Gu Xiancheng, after he went to the recital, the officials brought up the old matter again and began to talk about Zhang Juzheng's matter, the situation is becoming more and more serious, the emperor does not arrest him, how can he calm public opinion?"

"As for the Manchao recommendation, although he is only a magistrate, but the troubles are all big things, this person is talented, but he has a strange personality, and he has a lot of deeds, and he was arrested this time, and he was really wronged."

"The cause of the incident was that the Shaanxi Inspector Yu Maoheng impeached Liang Yong for smuggling goods to Gyeonggi, Liang Yong retaliated, hired a man, poisoned him twice, and wanted to kill Yu Maoheng.

"Liang Yongsheng was afraid that he would be exposed, so he led troops to attack the county government, wanting to kill people and kill people, but unfortunately the Manchu Dynasty had already taken precautions, and he failed to succeed, so he began to secretly raise hundreds of armor soldiers, and everyone said that Liang Yong would be opposed."

"When the Manchu Dynasty recommended that this matter, in the spirit of eliminating violence and peace, he sent troops to attack, but Liang Yong wrote a melody and falsely accused the Manchu Dynasty of robbing the gold and silver goods supplied to the court and the emperor, and the emperor arrested the Manchu Dynasty ......"

"Arrested without asking?" Li Mi was also a little stunned, but he didn't expect Zhu Yijun to do such a stupid thing.

"Because Liang Yong was originally the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and later became a tax supervisor, he is a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the amount of gold and silver treasures that has been paid tribute to the emperor over the years is so large that even the emperor is surprised......"

Li Mi finally understood that in the end, it was still a matter of money and officialdom!
