Chapter 447: Imperial Examination (8)
Inside the lobby.
In the lobby, Ling Yuan and Liu Lin were anxious like ants on a hot pot, constantly walking around in place, looking like a decline. It was like the sky was falling.
However, compared to the three of them, Wen Qing was much calmer, he drank fragrant tea without hurry, and smiled.
"This Jia Hui is a good thing for me, and he took away more than 500 people at once, how can I end up?" Ling Yuan said urgently.
The other two also agreed, sighing.
Wen Qing hated iron and said: "Ling Yuan, I said that you are stupid!" ”
"Think about it, you all think about it, are those who were taken away all small shrimps?"
Ling Yuan said: "That's right. ”
"That's right." Wen Qing said: "They all wrote and only gave 10,000 taels of silver, at best, tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?" Those are all small families, there are no eunuchs in the court, don't worry about them; Do they dare to sue? Sue whom? Tell the examiner? Tell the book? ”
"They suffered a dumb loss, and they admitted it."
Wen Qing said with a smile: "Mainly those who send hundreds of thousands of taels, or even millions of taels of silver, these big families have been saved, wouldn't it be good?" ”
"Lord Wen, why are you still laughing?"
Ling Yuan and Liu Lin still had sad faces and restlessness.
Wen Qing got up and said, "Why can't I laugh." ”
"I said, why are you so stupid, don't you understand this reason?"
After a pause, Wen Qing said, "What is Jia Hui doing now?" He is invigilating for us, sitting in the courtyard like a clean official, in this way, he will take all the responsibility on himself, if something happens in the examination room in the future, he will dare to make a thunderstorm on the ground? ”
"In this way, won't the millions of taels of silver we collected be kept?"
"If you think about it, isn't that the reason?"
Speaking of which, the three of them suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. In this way, they have no responsibility at all, and if there is something in the future, everyone can push it away. Let's just say that Jia Hui is in charge, and they are under house arrest, and they don't know anything about the scientific expedition.
"Haha, okay...."
Liu Lin said: "Master Wen is really resourceful. Xiaguan is far behind. ”
At this time, everyone's faces regained their smiles, and there was no longer the previous bitter gourd appearance.
.............
Night, Yonghe Palace.
Wang Xu was tired for a day, and he was not busy until this time, and came to Yonghe Palace to sleep.
"Husband, you stay in the imperial study all day?"
Zhang Xue asked.
Wang Xu nodded: "As long as I want to see it, there will be endless twists and turns, but it will tire me to death, from tomorrow." If I don't look at it, I don't believe that the sky can step on it. ”
"Big things have to be reported, this policy should be changed."
Zhang Xue smiled: "How does the husband want to change it?" ”
came to the bed and sat down, Wang Xu said: "Wait for tomorrow morning, I will announce that I will go down, and I will not skip the level of the report!" In addition to the six Shangshu and the Minister of the Military Aircraft Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the other officials' performances were handled by the Military Aircraft Department. ”
Zhang Xue said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's not good, there are still so many officials, civil officials, and counselors in the DPRK and China, don't they let people play?" So what do you want to do? ”
Wang Xu rolled his eyes, what he just said was also angry. How can it not be played by the family, if they are all taken to the military aircraft department, then the emperor will not become an empty shell.
It was only at this time that Wang Xu really understood. It's really tiring to be an emperor, and now it's only four counties, if the whole world is knocked down, then the twists and turns can be piled up directly.
For example, in the Manchu Dynasty, there were at least more than 100 officials who could make reports, as well as border emergency reports, county officials, and so on. Sometimes, when there are few excerpts, I only read a few dozen letters a day.
Don't underestimate those dozens of letters, it's not for you to just read it, but to solve the problem!
Sometimes a letter can make you deal with it badly in a few days, for example, today Wang Xu received a letter from Liao Yun in Xipingguan, which wrote that Ye Minzhong had withdrawn from the army, but in this way, Liao Yun and Lei Yan and others had a dispute.
Lei Yan wants to send troops to conquer the snowy region, and wants to completely exterminate the snowy people, there are so many red-clothed cannons, he is full of confidence, and if he does not send troops, hundreds of thousands of troops will stay in Xipingguan for defense, and the food to be consumed every day is huge, and in the long run, the treasury will have to eat poor.
As for this matter, Liao Yun strongly advocated staying behind, not seeking to be able to make meritorious contributions, but seeking no fault, with the red-clothed cannon, it was easy to hold the gate.
Wang Xu was also very embarrassed about this matter, and he didn't know whether to march or stay, and he was still hesitant until now.
The above is still dozens of letters a day, if it is like this time, Wang Xu has a large backlog of folds, and it just so happens that Jia Hui has gone to deal with the scientific expedition again, so that there are thousands of folds thrown in the imperial study, and I can't finish reading it.
Thinking of the scientific expedition, Wang Xu asked: "How is the situation when you go to the scientific research institute today?" ”
"I've caught more than 500 cheaters, and now they're all locked up in Shuntian Mansion."
Hearing this, Wang Xu was shocked, he didn't expect to arrest so many people at once, so it seems that Wen Qing, a corrupt official, is not very good, and even Jia Hui can't deal with it.
"Did all these people confess who helped them cheat?"
Zhang Xue said: "Yes, I went to Shuntian Mansion in the evening, and I confessed everything." ”
"Who?"
Zhang Xue said with a smile: "Everyone has it, Ling Yuan, Liu Lin, Wen Qing, Lian Jia Hui, Ye Xiong, etc., most of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs have said it, and the whole thing is open, and there is no evidence." ”
Yes, without any evidence, it is impossible to decide the case, and even the qualifications to file a case are not even qualified.
It would be ridiculous to arrest all the ministers based on the nonsense of a few ordinary people.
"It seems that this Jia Hui is still not Wen Qing's opponent, hehe, look at the two of them."
Wang Xu said with a smile.
Zhang Xue said: "Of course, Master Jia is slightly better, but my husband didn't see it today, Wen Qing and the others were blocked in the lobby, so embarrassed." ”
Wang Xu shook his head noncommittally, things are far from being so simple.
..............
The next day, in the morning.
On the Golden Palace, Wang Xu came slowly.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live..."
"Flat."
After the ceremony, Wang Xu said: "The scientific expedition has been completed, how is it going?" ”
Hearing this, Wen Qing came out and said: "Your Majesty, from beginning to end, Lord Jia did it himself, and Weichen did not participate in it, so I don't know much about it." ”
As soon as Wen Qing's words came out, he showed two meanings.
First, don't ask me about the scientific expedition, it has nothing to do with me, everything is done by Jia Hui, anyway, he has already collected the money, it doesn't matter, it's time to shirk responsibility.
Second, even if he is impeaching Jia Hui, he actually detains a member of the imperial court without authorization, which is really bold, and it is okay to detain Ling Yuan and others, after all, several people have low official positions, but Wen Qing is different, he is a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, a scholar of the imperial court, and a member of the first rank! How can it be said that detention is imprisonment. (To be continued.) )
