Chapter 713: The Man with the Knife
In fact, Sun Piyang's words shocked Wang Xijue the most.
Because the situation in front of him was indeed a situation he did not expect, according to the original arrangement, Sun Piyang is now under the roof and has to bow his head, although he has no plan to deal with Sun Piyang personally.
But he is very concerned about the progress of things, as the first assistant of the dynasty, Wang Xijue always has his own sources.
The Son of Heaven's action is indeed extraordinary, Yang Lian's impeachment of Jiang Shixin in Wenxuan Shilang for favoritism, accepting bribes, and deliberately suppressing Shen Hong, the prefect of Ping'an Mansion, is not groundless, but really true.
It should be said that this is an inevitable thing in the selection of officials, of course, purely in this matter, there is also an element of exaggeration, there are bribes, but there is some water in favoritism.
Shen Hong's background is just a prisoner, and he was sheltered by Zhu Changluo's series of political achievements in Ping'an Mansion, so he was lucky to achieve the position of prefect from the same governor of the house, but his own ability is insufficient.
Logically speaking, most of the comments in the middle and lower levels result in the magistrate being reprimanded, and then staying in office or leveling up, but in the officialdom, there are always people who want to be promoted by changing the law, since Shen Hong is not able to manage the land of a government, it is understandable that someone is eyeing his position.
At the time of the big plan, it happened that there was a county magistrate who got the top grade, although the background was not particularly high, but it was also a third-class scholar, and it happened that this magistrate had a position in the Ministry of Officials in the same year, and he accidentally learned about the situation of Ping'an Mansion, so he moved his mind.
The merchant surnamed Liu who gave the bribe was an uncle of the magistrate, who was in the cloth business in the capital, and listened to the advice of his nephew, and immediately took out a large sum of silver without saying a word and sent it to Jiang Shixin's house.
Jiang Shixin has his own set of guidelines for acting in the position of Wenxuan Shilang over the years, but he is not an absolute honest and honest person, and he knows what money should be taken and what money should not be taken.
If Shen Hong's comment is upper-middle, or even average, then no matter how much silver someone takes, he won't accept it, but the problem is that Shen Hong's own work is inherently poor, and if he really judges according to the rules, his evaluation should be between the middle and the low.
Now that the wealth is in front, Jiang Langzhong naturally put away that senseless kindness, so the comments of Shen Zhifu changed from middle to low, and his position changed from retention to demotion!
It stands to reason that this is a trivial matter, and what Jiang Langzhong has done is just a slight adjustment within the scope of his authority, even if it is found out, he can't find fault.
What's more, Shen Hong was born as a prisoner, and the friends around him are all officials from miscellaneous backgrounds, so what big waves can he afford......
But who would have thought that Jiang Langzhong, who was familiar with this kind of thing, would capsize in the gutter this time.
Shen Hong is indeed a prisoner, and he has no strong relationship in the imperial court, but people's encounters are often very magical, and Shen Hong's background determines that he will not be looked down upon by Qingliu Jinshi, and no one will befriend him.
But among the people he made friends with people with unknown backgrounds, there were amazing characters!
When Zhu Changluo was in Ping'an Mansion, he used Shen Hong, and he had a little bit of incense, but don't think that in this way, Shen Hong will be able to take a turnaround.
At that time, Zhu Changluo was a down-and-out prince, and he had a place to get Shen Hong, but now Zhu Changluo is the son of heaven, and Shen Hong is just a small prefect, and when he arrives in the capital, he doesn't even have the opportunity to enter the palace to see him, what's the use of that little incense!
This is also the reason why Jiang Shixin doesn't care that he is the prefect of the fiefdom of the Son of Heaven, I am afraid that now the Son of Heaven remembers whether he remembers this person or not is two words.
But he forgot that Shen Hong was indeed not up to the Son of Heaven, but the people around the Son of Heaven, he could still speak a few words.
After Shen Hong got the news, the first thing he went to look for was Shi Zhao Shizhen, the governor of the palace who was most familiar with him, but he couldn't find it, so he had to retreat and find Yang Lian, who is now in charge of the ministry.
As a figure valued by the Son of Heaven, although Yang Lian's official position is not obvious, he has the right to enter the palace to face the saint, he is keenly aware that this is an opportunity for the Son of Heaven to infiltrate his power into the ministry, so he presented the matter to the Son of Heaven.
At that time, Wang Xijue proposed to deal with Sun Piyang, so Zhu Changluo ordered Jinyiwei to find out the whole story of the matter on the spot.
This is the matter of Yang Lian making trouble on the spot at the court meeting, and then the matter became bigger and bigger, and finally it was involved in Sun Piyang's body as he wished, and the Son of Heaven ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to detain Jiang Shixin and investigate the case thoroughly, in fact, it was already pinched Sun Piyang's weakness.
Of course, this will not be just because of Shen Hong's incident, in fact, although the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't do anything to Sun Piyang, but what Jiang Shixin did, how can it be such a thing?
It is precisely because of his concern about this matter that Wang Xijue knows that although Jiang Shixin's case is being tried by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in fact, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are involved, and the factory guards are working together, and Jiang Shixin's things over the years have been investigated.
He is not a person who abides by the bottom line, and there have been a lot of dark operations over the years, but he has been clever and careful, so he has never committed any crimes, and another point is that he can master a good sense of proportion, so sometimes, even if Sun Piyang knows, he will turn a blind eye, after all, when the water is clear, there are no fish!
Sun Shangshu himself is not a strict person, and the same is true for his subordinates, in fact, even if it is Shen Hong's matter, if Shen Hong is not able to find Yang Lian, and after Yang Lian confesses, it happens that the Son of Heaven deliberately targets the officials, this matter is really nothing, at most he will be punished and thought about it.
But how can the so-called people walk by the river without getting their shoes wet, Jiang Shixin just ran into something this time, and after his small actions were found out, Sun Piyang was also implicated.
After all, as a celestial official of the Ministry of Officials, all the officials' notices must be signed by him personally, Jiang Shixin secretly made so many small actions, if he really shook it out in the court, he would at least be responsible for dereliction of duty.
Above the court, there are people who covet the position of the official department!
Because of this, Wang Xijue was completely relieved, only saying that Sun Piyang was a fish on the chopping board, and he only had the share to be slaughtered, if he didn't cooperate, then he would only face the road of ruin.
Therefore, for this reform of the administration of officials, Wang Xijue was able to let go of it, regardless of the feelings of the officials.
But now, the old Shoufu suddenly realized that Sun Piyang was indeed a fish on the chopping board, but the problem was that the slaughtering knife was never held in his hand...... 7110
