Chapter 35 Everything is as it should
Wang Kefan said his worries, but Zhu Ji smiled.
"This is a good thing, the military gate should be pushed along the river, why bother with the emperor?"
"What do you mean? Don't play pantomimes. ”
"May I ask Wang Junmen, who handled Ding Kuichu's case, in addition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has he been in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple?" Seal Ji shook the information in his hand, a thin piece of paper, full of fly-headed letters.
"The emperor's direct order is handled by Jinyiwei, well, I didn't mention the Criminal Department and Dali Temple......" Wang Kefan's heart moved, when he looked at this information just now, he got too much information, and he really ignored this problem.
According to the old practice of the Ming Dynasty, major cases should be tried by three divisions, that is, jointly tried by the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, and finally decided by the emperor. Ding Kuichu's case did not go through this procedure, but let Jin Yiwei handle the case directly, and the two Guangdong officials involved in the case were thrown into the edict prison...... From this point of view, in Ding Kuichu's case, Emperor Longwu should be dictatorial!
The Criminal Department is the territory of the Southern Party, and Dali Temple is the territory of the Donglin Party, that is to say, neither the Southern Party nor the Donglin Party participated in the Ding Kuichu case, and Emperor Longwu was working alone!
After finding a breakthrough, the following problems are easily solved.
Emperor Longwu's prestige is limited, he is not a ruthless person like Ming Taizu Ming Chengzu, and he can't solve the entire Guangdong officialdom with the strength of Jinyiwei alone. It's very simple to clean up an outdated Ding Kuichu, but if Jinyiwei arrests people everywhere but can't find out the case, other political forces will intervene.
In other words, Emperor Longwu wanted to control Guangdong, and even the entire Southern Ming. It is inevitable to seize power from the hands of civil officials, and there will be fierce conflicts with He Tengjiao and other feudal officials, and Emperor Longwu has no other choice but to cooperate with the political forces with a warlord background like the Chu Xun group.
The execution of Ding Kuichu was undoubtedly a smokescreen released by Emperor Longwu, but it was just a smokescreen.
If Wang Kefan overreacted and confronted Emperor Longwu directly, he would regard the Chuxun group as the preferred target of suppression and choose to cooperate with other political forces.
"Miss Seal Ji, the so-called pushing the boat down the river. How do you do that? "Wang Kefan already has a coping plan, but he wants to verify it with Zhu Ji again.
"Is the military gate examining me? This is not difficult, as long as Fu Ge's old Metropolitan Procuratorate takes action and retries Ding Kuichu's case, how deep can it be dug. Just dig as deep as you can, and you can naturally smash the Guangdong officialdom to a pulp. ”
Since turning over the old accounts. Just turn it over thoroughly. Ding Kuichu's case was hastily understood at the beginning, leaving a lot of tails, although Ding Kuichu is dead now, the crime cannot be easily eliminated, and if you touch these tails, you can also pull out a lot of big fish.
"Not bad. Heroes see the same thing, and I have the same intention! Wang Kefan smiled.
Emperor Longwu threw down Wang Kefan, reached out and plucked a fruit himself, and then observed the reaction of the Chu Xun group. If the Chu Xun group rushed up and shouted to stop Emperor Longwu from continuing to pick fruits, it would undoubtedly be very wrong.
Since it is the harvest season, you have to be cheeky and stick to it, move the ladder and get the bench for Emperor Longwu, and rush to help him pick the fruit. The picked fruit must not rot in the ground, it must be put in a basket and collected in the warehouse, and the small basket of the Chuxun Group can naturally be full.
Once the Metropolitan Procuratorate re-investigates Ding Kuichu's case, Emperor Longwu will definitely send Jinyiwei to assist in handling the case, and the Chuxun group and the imperial power will work together to bypass the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and leave the Southern Party and the Donglin Party aside.
As a result, the development of events is back on track.
From ancient times to the present, the punishment of corrupt officials is a national plot that will never fade, and it is popular for the common people to hear and see, and launching a political struggle in the name of rectifying the rule of officials can get the support of all parties to the greatest extent.
Once the tone is set, the specific operation behind it is much simpler, Wang Kefan found a teahouse, wrote a short message, and arranged for someone to rush to Guangzhou and send it to Fu Guan.
The means of communication in this era were too primitive, and the only way to transmit information over long distances was to rely on carrier pigeons and fast horses. Pigeons are less expensive, but they are less reliable and can easily be lost or leaked...... Fast horses are relatively safe, that is, they have to constantly change horses on the road, and ordinary people do not have this condition, but fortunately, the salt gang of Seal Ji has a foothold in major cities and can solve this problem.
……
According to He Tengjiao's request, Wang Kefan came to Changsha for a meeting and brought Wang Sheng with him, but the Chu army had just taken over Yuezhou Mansion, and Wang Sheng was too busy to leave, so Wang Kefan came alone.
In order to avoid He Tengjiao's harassment, he did not notify the Changsha government in advance, and traveled lightly and very low-key.
With He Tengjiao's character, he must have carefully prepared some programs, but Wang Kefan took them out as soon as he arrived, disgusting people, they were all small tricks that couldn't be put on the stage, ignoring him and losing his sharpness, but it was annoying to ignore him. Wang Kefan was too lazy to deal with him, so he simply mixed into Changsha in casual clothes, no one thought that the freshly baked Admiral Cao Jiang would dress up as a scholar and let him swagger into the city gate.
Leaving a contact address with Zhu Ji, Wang Kefan took a few entourage soldiers, rented a carriage, and headed for Dongcheng.
After passing through several streets and coming to a secluded alley, Wang Kefan jumped out of the carriage and looked at the gray walls that turned around in the alley, as well as the hibiscus trees poking out of the courtyards of the houses on both sides, and couldn't help but take a deep breath and feel very kind.
It had been almost two years since his family moved to Changsha, and when Wang Kefan Ding was worried about filial piety, Liu and Fu Shihua went to live in Yuezhou Mansion for a while, and they have not seen each other since. Counting the days, most of the time disappeared like this, but he believed that as long as he walked into the house, Liu would immediately cook him a few "hard dishes", and Fu Shihua would also accompany him to read late at night, adding fragrance to his red sleeves.
It's a good feeling.
Looking around, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and it seems that they are all ordinary people, He Tengjiao doesn't seem to have sent anyone to keep an eye here, just right, he can have a peaceful birthday in two more days. Wang Kefan walked up the stone steps and pushed open the door.
There was a faint fragrance in the door, Fu Shihua was holding his son, sitting under the flower stand with Xicui, eating rice cakes.
The hand-beaten rice cakes, which are as white as jade, turn into an attractive golden brown when fried in oil, and then sprinkled with some white sugar, which makes people salivate. Fu Shihua fed his son two pieces of rice cakes, afraid that the greasy glutinous rice would not be digested, so he didn't let him eat it, but the little guy screamed and made trouble, and reached out to grab the rice cake plate, Xicui hurriedly came up and grabbed him, two big and one small three people were wrestling with each other.
Just then, the door was pushed open with a soft creak. Xi Cui just snatched a piece of rice cake from the little guy's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and muttered with a big tongue: "No! Not anymore! ”
Fu Shihua held the rice cake plate in her hand, seeing that one big and one small were making a lot of trouble, she couldn't help but smile, and suddenly, she felt that the footsteps at the door were so familiar, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look over.
Seeing that person, where could Fu Shihua still remember the rice cake plate, which was taken away by the little guy and didn't know what to do, Liu Yemei smiled, and his whole body was suddenly filled with joy: "Xianggong, are you ......back?"
"I'm back." Wang Kefan also looked at her, his eyes smiling.
"Fourth Young Master, you're back!" Xicui was stunned for a moment, then jumped up suddenly, and shouted, "Are you hungry, do you eat rice cakes?" ”
Suddenly, she snatched the rice cake plate from the little guy's hand, stuffed another piece into his mouth before he could cry, and then rushed up like a gust of wind, pestling the rice cake plate straight under Wang Kefan's nose.
"Delicious!" Wang Kefan picked up a piece of rice cake and put it in his mouth, and after chewing it, he was sure that this rice cake was made by the Liu family himself, or the taste, or the feeling, which is unique in the world.
The son looked at him curiously, his little face was round and cute, Fu Shihua asked him to call his father, but he didn't open his mouth, obviously a little recognized. Wang Kefan walked up and clapped his hands with a smile, wanting to hug his son, but the little guy turned his face and got into Fu Shihua's arms.
"Oh, this is Dad, Dad, Mom told you, Dad likes you the most, let Dad report it......"
Fu Shihua wiped the little guy's mouth with a handkerchief, picked him up, and handed it to Wang Kefan after coaxing a few words, the little guy was no longer so repulsive, and finally let Wang Kefan hold it, but he still had a small face, staring at the dark eyes, and kept looking at this strange father. Wang Kefan's arms stretched back and forth, lifting him high and lowering, lowering and raising high, the little guy was no longer vigilant, giggling and laughing.
Wang Kefan was relieved for a while.
As soon as he returned to Changsha Mansion, he invited Seal Ji to come to his house as a guest, because he felt very close to the other party and wanted to let Seal Ji come into contact and enter his life.
But he felt inexplicably weak, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was because of his weakness, until he went home to see Fu Shihua and saw her holding his son, he didn't understand the reason.
According to the point of view of the old time and space, feelings are always selfish, I have been away for a long time, and I finally went home for the New Year, but I brought back a beautiful woman, Fu Shihua just didn't say it, and I felt awkward in my heart.
If you care about her, you can't bear to hurt her, as a husband and a father, you have to take care of your wife and children, although Wang Kefan traveled to the Ming Dynasty, this "old" concept of old time and space is still in his bones, and he will pop up from time to time.
Everything is fine.
Wang Kefan was immersed in the joy of going home, relaxed and happy, and did not want to be entangled in this kind of child's feelings. Although he has a hazy good impression of Seal Ji, he is even more reluctant to hurt his family, if Fu Shihua accepts it, there is still a discussion on this matter, if Fu Shihua does not accept it, this kind of good feeling will end in nothing.
For successful men, career always comes first, and family affection cannot be given up, but the love between men and women is just an embellishment in life, Wang Kefan still has too many big things to do, and he is too lazy to spend too much thought on the love between men and women.
Everything is fine. (To be continued......)
