When he came to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, Wu Fanhui's expression was as cold as ice. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Dong Qichang, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and Tang Shiji, the left capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, are all in the public house.
Wu Fanhui is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the priest of the Nanjing Guozi Priest, which has something to do with the two of them, but he came to the Ministry of Rites this time, not to catch up on the past, nor to do it for the affairs of the Guozijian.
As soon as he entered the public house, a trace of coldness flashed in Tang Shiji's eyes.
The clerk made tea and quit the public house.
Tang Shiji looked at Wu Fanhui and spoke slowly.
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has received the impeachment note, presumably Lord Wu also knows about this impeachment fold, and today Lord Dong and this official want to hear Lord Wu's explanation."
Wu Fanhui does know about the impeachment of the folds, this impeachment fold, is written by many imperial histories of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, its core content is the impeachment of Zuo Du Yushi, Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, Nanjing Guozi Supervisor Wu Fanhui, suppressed the prisoners of the Guozijian, wantonly embezzled ink and silver, resulting in the anger of the heavens and resentment, and Wu Fanhui has been in the Guozijian for less than a year, can cultivate his own strength, his behavior is obviously ulterior motives, I am afraid that he will be a friend.
This impeachment twist and turn, what I said earlier about suppressing the prisoners of the country, as well as embezzlement of ink and silver, etc., all matter, but the last point is the most vicious, that is, the friends.
You must know that the most taboo thing for the emperor is his friends.
Beijing Guozi Priest Wine and Nanjing Guozi Priest Wine, in terms of personal performance, who will never be biased towards any faction, will only be loyal to the emperor, and will not participate in the party, this is a matter that the emperor deliberately grasps.
You must know that Guozijian is a place to cultivate talents for the imperial court, and if a party is formed here, it will not fundamentally shake the prestige of the emperor.
The reason why Wu Fanhui knew about this impeachment was because of a letter from Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet.
In fact, this impeachment has gone to the capital, but it was directly sent back by the emperor and the cabinet, and I don't know why, the emperor and the court did not come up with a clear opinion, but asked the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to deal with it as appropriate.
After receiving Wen Tiren's letter, Wu Fanhui immediately understood that someone had already begun to do it, and this game focused on him officially kicked off.
As for asking the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to handle this impeachment exercise as appropriate, one can understand the meaning of it after a little thought.
Since neither the emperor nor the imperial court have made a clear statement, it means that this impeachment is not in line with the actual situation, Wu Fanhui has been in office for less than a year in Nanjing, and has strictly controlled the Guozijian, and these matters have been passed to the capital through some channels, if the emperor and the cabinet are not fools, they will naturally understand the meaning.
But the most interesting thing is that the emperor did not directly suppress this impeachment, but sent it back to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and asked the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to deal with it as appropriate.
This is very interesting, is it possible that the emperor does not understand that the impeachment was originally presented to the emperor and the imperial court by the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and asking them to deal with it as appropriate would not add fuel to the fire.
Therefore, this should not be the emperor's intention, but it is very likely to be the meaning of Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Wen Tiren was eager to make a big deal out of the situation, and when the fierce game between the two sides was out of control, he would come forward on behalf of the imperial court and use thunderous means to suppress those forces that he thought were threatening, and among the whole thing, the one who suffered the most losses, or the one who could suffer the most damage, was Wu Fanhui and the Chen family.
The so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, and the Chen family may not be able to see this matter clearly, and the Fu Society behind the Chen family is even more ambitious, thinking of giving Wu Fanhui a prestige, so the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate will not let go of this matter easily, they will at least make Wu Fanhui feel uncomfortable.
Of course, Tang Shiji, who is the imperial history of the left capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, must have understood what the emperor meant, and it is impossible to do too much, but it is not impossible to grasp this matter and let Wu Fanhui bow his head, so he will definitely not let go of this matter easily.
"Lord Dong, Lord Tang, the lower officials don't know what is going on, how to explain it."
Wu Fanhui was also simply, the matter of impeachment was told to him by Wen Tiren in a letter, plus the Nanjing Sixth Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was rumored, but he didn't see the real recital, and Wen Tiren didn't explain in the letter who wrote this recital.
Tang Shiji looked at Dong Qichang.
Dong Qichang didn't have much expression on his face.
Dong Qichang is already seventy-eight years old, this age is still serving as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, it is very rare, the Manchu Dynasty thinks that Dong Qichang is extremely shrewd, and he is friendly with the Donglin Party, and he must not offend the anti-Donglin people, wandering in the middle, and making both sides not disgusted.
The reason why Tang Shiji wants to pull Dong Qichang today must be reasonable, because Dong Qichang is the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and the Nanjing Ministry of Rites can nominally manage the relevant matters of Guozijian.
Of course, Tang Shiji wanted Dong Qichang's support, and he thought that he had a good relationship with Dong Qichang.
It's a pity that Dong Qichang didn't speak at all.
Dong Qichang, whose face was slightly red, turned his gaze to Wu Fanhui and spoke again.
"Since Lord Wu doesn't know what is going on, then the official will explain it in detail...
Tang Shiji did not directly take out the impeachment recital, but basically said the content of the impeachment on the recital.
Wu Fanhui listened very carefully, with a faint smile on his face, in this process, Dong Qichang's eyes looked at Wu Fanhui several times, and there were some expressions on his face.
"Lord Wu, the official who should have said it has been said, the emperor asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to handle this matter at its discretion, and the official wants to hear Lord Wu's explanation, this is not an exaggeration."
"Of course, it's not an exaggeration, but the lower officials didn't see the impeachment and didn't hear the emperor's holy decree, so maybe the lower officials shouldn't be so serious, as for the explanation, the lower officials are just one sentence, there are no such things."
Tang Shiji's face changed suddenly.
"Lord Wu, do you really have such confidence?"
"Of course, if Lord Tang thinks that there are these problems in the lower officials, he can go to the Guozijian to investigate."
"Oh, can you tell me about the Guozi Supervisor?"
Wu Fanhui's face was still smiling, he laughed at Tang Shiji's stupidity, this is a rule that is known in the officialdom, I didn't expect Tang Shiji to also take it out and say it, I'm afraid I haven't waited for Tang Shiji to really start the investigation, the six departments in Nanjing are making a fuss.
"What can happen to the regular supervisors, the lower officials are not very clear, the lower officials just remember that Lord Tang also specially introduced a few regular supervisors to enter the Guozijian to study, if the adults think there is a problem, after the lower officials return to the Guozi Prison, they must be good to investigate, in addition, there are some colleagues in the Nanjing Sixth Department, and some of the regular supervisors are also introduced, the lower officials must tell them that the Tang adults think this behavior is not good, and after the lower officials go back, they will also thoroughly investigate these routine supervisors to see how their knowledge is...
Before Wu Fanhui finished speaking, Dong Qichang coughed a few times and spoke.
"Lord Tang, the matter of recruiting regular supervisors in Nanjing has always been such a rule, if there is no donation from these regular supervisors, where can the household department take out so much silver, and the Guozijian will not be able to maintain it, Lord Tang is thinking too biased, and the matter of this routine prison should not be mentioned casually in the future."
Tang Shiji's face turned a little blue, and Wu Fanhui immediately grasped the question in his words, did the things in his hands have no effect.
"Lord Dong misunderstood, this official is asking Lord Wu, these routine eunuchs were before entering the Guozijian, did they specifically look for Lord Wu, as for the introduction of many official eunuchs, it belongs to recommending talents for the imperial court, which should have been."
"What Lord Tang means, the lower officials don't understand very well, how this case prison is recruited, the lower officials can have a clear record, each regular supervisor is to the Guozi Prison, and the lower officials will personally take the school examination, and they will be included in the roster if they meet the rules, if the adults think that there is anything inappropriate, although they take out the evidence, but this is the matter of recommending the regular supervisors, the lower officials also agree with the suggestions of the Tang people, and the lower officials will write a special letter to the emperor, and the officials of Chen Nanzhi recommend the regular supervisors, and the lower officials think that this is the consideration of the Tang Lord for the imperial court, and put an end to the disadvantages of the situation."
"Lord Wu, don't talk about this matter, this official has just reminded Lord Tang."
Dong Qichang's face is a little unsightly, if Wu Fanhui really fails, it will not only be the Ministry of Rites, but all the officials of Nanzhili, who will scold the Metropolitan Procuratorate, wouldn't this cut off everyone's financial route.
"Lord Tang, this official will say it again, don't mention the matter of the regular supervisor, the Ministry of Rites has the rules of the Ministry of Rites, and the Guozijian has the rules of the Guozijian, if Lord Tang feels that these rules are not appropriate, he can naturally write a fold to the emperor and the court, but the official also wants to remind Lord Tang that once this fold is handed over, what will be the consequences, and please think twice."
Tang Shiji's face turned a little red in an instant, of course he knew the consequences of this.
Wu Fanhui accepted money, but where is Wu Fanhui who received money, it can be said that the Shangshu of the six departments of Nanzhili, everyone got more or less money from it, including himself, he originally wanted to grab Wu Fanhui's acceptance of money, but he didn't expect Wu Fanhui to pull everyone out.
Looking at Dong Qichang's gloomy face, and then looking at the sneering look on Wu Fanhui's face, Tang Shiji suddenly understood, I am afraid that it is not valid to think about calculating Wu Fanhui through this matter, and if he doesn't make it well, he will follow in.
When he walked out of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Fanhui looked at the sky.
The sky was overcast.
Tang Shiji's admission of defeat did not make Wu Fanhui's mood completely better, he knew very well that Liangzi had already been settled, although he didn't care, and the current focus was not in this place, but there would always be a time when the contradictions in this place would erupt.
