Of course, this kind of thing can't be done by Huo Yi himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info so what Xie Shen saw was that some poor people beat Li Tongzhi and the Yamen dukes, and impassionedly stated the reasons for resisting taxes.

Of course, all this was arranged by Huo Yuanwai, and those seemingly poor people were just his gunmen.

Thinking through the joints, Xie Shen sneered: "I can't see that this Huo Yi is a scheming person. How does Li Tongzhi think this matter should be handled? ”

Li Xiaoji was waiting for Xie Shen's words, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Governor Xie might as well let these people who resist taxes go first." ”

"Released?"

Xie Shen frowned slightly, thinking about Li Tongzhi's intentions.

"What does Li Tongzhi mean is to ask the official to send people to follow these mobs and see where they go to collect evidence?"

"Xie Zhifu is wise!"

Li Tongzhi sent a sycophant and said: "Then Huo Yi must be very strange, he will definitely call the mob to ask what he was asked when he passed the court, as long as he arrests him, are you afraid that he will not admit his guilt?" ”

Xie Shen secretly sighed, this Li Tongzhi is worthy of being an old fritter in officialdom, and his methods are really ruthless.

The release of the mob who made trouble and resisted taxes seemed to be a weak compromise of the government, but in fact it was to paralyze Huo Yi and make him relax his vigilance.

At this time, Huo Yi must be curious about what those mobs were asked above the government court, and he would definitely ask about it.

At this time, the yamen dukes sent to follow those mobs came in handy, as long as Huo Yi was arrested, he was not afraid of his denial.

Of course, this is done on the premise that the public who is following the mob will not be discovered, otherwise everything will be in vain.

Even if it turns out that the person behind the scenes is not Huo Yi, the government will not have anything to lose, but will rule out a possibility.

Xie Shen really felt that the way of being an official was unfathomable, and it seemed that only by practicing a lot could he master the way of power.

"Just do what Li Tongzhi said."

Xie Shen nodded and said, "This official will find an excuse to release those mobs, just see if Huo Yi will show his head." ”

Li Tongzhi said with a smile: "I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet, Governor Xie can rest assured." Then Huo Yuanwai will definitely be recruited.

"I hope so."

Xie Shen put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice.

......

Jingshi, Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

The Son of Heaven listened to the lectures of the Japanese lecturers as usual, and during the lunch break, the Son of Heaven left a group of ministers, including Xu Pu, in the palace for dinner.

In the face of such a favor, Xu Pu, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others were naturally terrified of gratitude.

For the ministers, the attitude of the Son of Heaven has always been very kind. Even Xie Qian, who had just joined the cabinet, enjoyed treatment beyond that of ordinary ministers.

The Son of Heaven was having his own meal, and Wang Yue respectfully saluted him: "Emperor, there is an urgent performance from Shanxi." ”

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help frowning.

Recently, the Tatars have repeatedly violated the border Datong Province, disturbing the border chickens and dogs. Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, asked for more troops in Datong several times to deter the Tatars.

However, Emperor Hongzhi never approved.

Ma Shangshu is a loyal minister, and this Hongzhi Emperor knows it. But Ma Shangshu is not a family and doesn't know how expensive firewood and rice are.

There are only a few hundred thousand taels of silver left in the treasury, and even if they are all used for military salaries, they will not be able to support many sergeants.

What's more, the Tatars attacked and harassed the border like the wind, and increasing the garrison would not have much effect.

If the treasury is abundant, you can still try it, but now Emperor Hongzhi is eager to break a penny in half and spend it, how can he approve Ma Shangshu's request for more troops in Datong.

But Ma Wensheng still didn't let go, and the book at two ends in three days gave Emperor Hongzhi a headache.

Emperor Hongzhi opened the music and was slightly stunned when he saw that it was not Datong.

"How did it come from Lu'an Mansion?"

Emperor Hongji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not from Datong.

After watching the song, a smile finally appeared on Emperor Hongzhi's face.

"Good, great good. I didn't see the wrong person. ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said to Wang Yue, the eunuch who was waiting beside him, "It's the Lu'an prefect Xie Shen's recital." The plague in Lu'an Province has been brought under control. ”

Since the earthquake in various places this year, Wang Yue has not seen Emperor Hongzhi smile for a long time, and this time he is sincerely happy for the Son of Heaven.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor. Lord Xiao Xie is really a capable minister, this plague may not be able to be controlled by Hua Tuo in the world, and Lord Xiao Xie has had an effect in less than half a month. It's really the lucky star of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded at Wang Yue and said, "You, your mouth is like honey." ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Slave maid, this is telling the truth. Which of the princes in the court can guarantee that Lu'an can control the epidemic like Xiao Xie. ”

"This Xie Shen does have some talent, but he is too young." Emperor Hongzhi sighed, and there was a bit of helplessness in his voice.

Although he is the Son of Heaven, he cannot do everything by his own nature.

Xie Shen is indeed too young. If Xie Shen is more than ten years older, Emperor Hongzhi even wants to give Xie Shen a governor and a squire.

However, at the moment, being able to make Xie Shen the prefect of Lu'an is still the result of Xie Qian's strong recommendation and Hongzhi Dili's rejection.

In Emperor Hongzhi's view, young people should not nest in the Hanlin Academy if they are talented. If you go to the local area to get in touch with the people, you will grow very quickly if you have more experience.

There were many famous ministers in the Hongzhi Dynasty, such as Xu Pu, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian, all of whom were worthy of being relied on.

But these people are not young, and they can assist once, but it is impossible for them to stay in the position of cabinet ministers forever.

Emperor Hongzhi's own body is clear to himself. He has been feeling poor since last year. Although the result of the consultation of the Tai Hospital was only an occasional cold, Emperor Hongzhi was always uneasy in his heart.

The selection of the assistant Bi Xianchen for the crown prince cannot be delayed, and the conditions for selection must naturally be strict, not only must he have real talent and learning, but also must be young.

Gradually, Emperor Hongzhi noticed Xie Shen, who won the champion at a young age. This son has a lot of backbone, and has successively played Yang Peng, the commander of Dongchang, and Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and won unanimous praise from all over the Manchu Dynasty.

Coupled with the strong recommendation of the cabinet minister Xie Qian, Emperor Hongzhi moved his mind to investigate Xie Shen.

It happened that the prefect of Lu'an suddenly died, and Emperor Hongzhi directly sent Xie Shen to take office. I never thought that this expedition would actually investigate a powerful minister, which is really an unexpected gain.

"The slave maid heard that Gan Luo was twelve years old to worship the prime minister, and Lord Xiao Xie is not too young."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he laughed and said, "You slave, what do you know." ”

Emperor Hongzhi was extremely disgusted with eunuchs interfering in politics, but the emperor would not take it to heart if he was a half-joke like Wang Yue.

"Xie Shen has made meritorious efforts in managing the epidemic, and he should be rewarded."

Emperor Hongzhi regained the seriousness of the king, and said in a deep voice: "Proposed purpose." ”
