Chapter 686: Expand

Zhang Juzheng came out of Yan Ne's duty room and advised him to immediately order an investigation into where the newspaper came from and prohibit its sale.

Although Zhang Juzheng didn't figure out Tang Yi's thoughts, he knew out of instinct that it was not a good thing.

If you do something wrong, you will always be weak-hearted, Yan Ne gave a death order, and no propaganda about Yu Dayou was allowed in the capital, newspapers, books, operas, and storytelling. Whoever dares to disobey the order will be severely punished.

Yan Ne felt that with the prestige of a scholar, he couldn't deal with a few newsboys?

Not to mention, he really can't.

The security of the capital is in the hands of Shuntianfu, from top to bottom, almost all of them are Tang Yi's people, and Yan Ne's orders not only did not control the newsboys running around the world, but also exposed themselves.

"It's him!"

The fox's tail is finally revealed.

When several strategists heard that Yan Ne had come forward, they were all shocked, and they hurriedly collected information from all parties and studied it carefully. In half a day, they invited Tang Yi over.

"My lord, most of the problem is Yan Ne." Mao Kun sighed: "To arrest Yu Dayou, it must be reviewed by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, as well as the approval of the Cabinet. ”

In addition to Xu Jie's overall situation, Tang Shunzhi is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering and the Ministry of War, Li Chunfang is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and the rest of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Rites are the division of labor.

This time, Yu Dayou was arrested, and the incident happened suddenly, completely passing Tang Shunzhi, Hu Zongxian and others.

Playing with intrigue and intrigue requires not only strategy, but also ability, and it is not easy to win down a meritorious veteran general, especially to avoid the eyes and ears of all parties.

Follow the train of thought, and it will not be difficult to find out the people involved.

First of all, there must be a reason, the person who impeached Yu Dayou is Chen Liaofang, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this person is usually inconspicuous, very low-key, and those who have been famous for a long time are different from the scolding gods, he impeached Yu Dayou for bribing his boss, lying about his military exploits, and greedy for military salaries, and the excerpt was sent to the cabinet, and Yan Ne personally approved the document and handed it over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

In the morning, the document was approved, and in the afternoon, the men and horses who arrested Yu Dayou were sent out.

In order to maintain mystery, Han Qiu and the others didn't even live at the post station, but no matter how hidden their actions were, they still couldn't hide from Jinyiwei's eyes, and when the people arrived at Nanzhili, they were still discovered, and Jinyiwei immediately sent the news to Xuanfu, but after all, it was still a step too late, and there was no way to stop it in advance.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Three Law Divisions are all involved, and the scholar Yan is very capable!" Shen Mingchen said angrily.

"More than that." Wang Yin shook his head, "There is also the inner court, after the cabinet vote is drafted, it still needs to be approved before it can become a holy decree." By the way, my lord, why didn't Huang Gonggong move, even if he didn't stop him, he should send you a message as soon as possible, isn't it? ”

Huang Jin also had an accident? Wang Yin was taken aback, if Huang Jin was involved, the matter would be shattered. Tang Yi hurriedly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "A few days ago, Your Majesty found a group of old Taoists to enter Beijing to refine the gold pill, Gonggong Huang has been busy with this matter, and the approval of the red was given by Eunuch Wu." ”

Speaking of which, it is also the sorrow of the military generals, if you directly attack Hu Zongxian, even if it is a governor or political envoy, you have to go through Jiajing to personally interrogate, and it is impossible for Huang Jin, who is serving Jiajing all day long, not to know.

The other party obviously thought of it, he started with Yu Dayou, no matter how famous the old general was among the people, in the eyes of the civil officials, he was still a vulgar martial artist, and he didn't even do the six parts of Mingfa, so he took it directly.

"Yan Ne's hand is long enough, and even someone in the inner court buys his account." Shen Mingchen wondered.

Wang Yin said unceremoniously: "It can't be Yan Ne, he is just the prime minister of Qingci, he has been an official for twenty years, and he has not done anything commendable, who will offend the adults for him." ”

"Who could that be?" Shen Mingchen asked.

"Who else could it be, obvious." Wang Yin said quietly: "Zhang Zongxian was impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the head of the royal court of the right capital, this person is a student of Xu Jie, and Huang Guangsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is also a student of Xu Jie, Dali Siqing is Ma Sen, Xu Jie is his great benefactor, and the three law divisions of the Ming Dynasty have all become his Xu Jie's opening, and the bullshit 'three returns' are not monopolistic powers, and they are three points more powerful than Yan Fenyi. ”

Ma Sen is a Jinshi in Jiajing for 14 years, with very old qualifications, and has served as an envoy, a political envoy, and a governor, and after the fall of Yan Song, he was called into the capital and took over the household department.

However, due to the corruption of Song Chun, the political envoy of Jiangxi Province recommended by him, Ma Sen was also implicated, impeached by the imperial history, and almost lost his official position.

"Except for Xu Jie, who can command the three law divisions, and who can let Eunuch Wu help approve the red?" Wang Yin asked rhetorically.

Everyone was silent, and based on the current information, the spearhead was Xu Jie.

Of course, Tang Yi has another guess, that is, someone is under the banner of Xu Jie, a fox and a fake tiger. But no matter what, it is the power of the Xu Party, and there is no problem in calculating the accounts on Xu Jie's head.

"By the way, Mr. Lumen, Mr. Shiyue, you can find out, why did Yan Ne get involved? I don't think he's an eventful person. ”

Mao Kun said: "Do you remember Wang Bengu? ”

Tang Yi laughed, "Why don't you remember, it's no less than a few-stirring sticks in the capital who scold the gods." ”

"He is Yan Ne's eldest brother, who died in Liaodong a few years ago." Mao Kun said in a low voice.

"I see!"

Tang Yi couldn't help but sigh, officialdom is also very small, and inadvertently, it will offend people. Fortunately, I finally have a direction, so I don't think like a fly without a head, guessing and thinking.

The following task is how to break the situation and fight back, Tang Yi used his relationship to get Chen Liaofang's performance, among which there are many things that catch the wind and catch shadows, and there are many things that can almost be ignored, but there is only one crime, which is written very clearly, that is, Yu Dayou once sent 80,000 taels of silver tickets to his boss in three batches, and a month later, Yu Dayou was promoted to Fujian General Army.

Based on this, Chen Liaofang determined that Yu Dayou had bribed his superiors, the amount of money was huge, the crime was serious, and the punishment was not severe enough to rectify military discipline.

Tang Yi vaguely remembered that Yu Dayou had indeed been promoted, and if this matter was serious, it would indeed be a little troublesome. not only involved Yu Dayou, but also Hu Zongxian.

Shen Mingchen had a good memory, and he immediately introduced the situation to Tang Yi.

There were indeed 80,000 taels of silver, but it was not a bribe, but Yu Dayou won the battle and seized it from the hands of the Japanese Kou, and Hu Zongxian asked him to sell it on the spot and get 80,000 taels of silver, all of which were used as military salaries and handed over to the governor's palace.

"Is there any evidence? Like receipts, or account books? Tang Yi asked.

Shen Mingchen shook his head and grinned bitterly: "My lord, if I remember correctly, this silver did not enter the public account, but was bought as a gift. ”

"Gifts, for whom?" Tang Yi vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"Yan Shifan, also, and Wang Zhi!"

Airplanes!

His head suddenly became bigger three times, Hu Zongxian is good at everything, but he is not informal, to put it bluntly, he is a little gangster, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal.

For example, Tang Yi knew that Hu Zongxian had deducted a lot of military salaries, some of which were used for banquets and entertainment, and a larger part was used to deal with the Yan family's father and son, bribe the leaders of the Japanese bandits, and buy off the spy work.

He was generous, giving away tens of thousands of taels at a time, and many of the Japanese leaders were bought by him. Under the silver bullet offensive, the people inside the Japanese were panicked, suspicious of each other, and became a mess, and finally Wang Zhi and Xu Hai had to surrender one after another, I have to say that the silver bullet offensive was sometimes more effective than lead bullets.

The problem is that these money can't be officially accounted for, so they can only rely on other ways to fill the shortfall, sell the seized booty, collect and promote, withhold the imperial court taxes, and even buy raw silk at a low price in the name of the military, and then sell it at a high price......

All in all, Hu Zongxian has used all the methods that can make money.

If these behaviors happened to a minister with a good reputation, there might be no problem, but the problem is that Hu Zongxian has a close relationship with the Yan Party, and he really likes pomp and circumstance, and his style is extravagant, so it is easy for people to associate him with corruption, and it is impossible to say clearly.

It can be seen that the other party is really a master, and he is despicable enough. Taking advantage of other people's hearts for the country and the people is a crime, but it makes you unspeakable.

Yu Dayou had a harvest on the battlefield, and he did not hand it over but sold it privately, which is a fact, and it is also a fact that he transferred the silver to Hu Zongxian without any evidence, and Hu Zongxian spent the silver again...... No matter what makes sense, it is not clear in legal theory.

Rao is Tang Yi is very shrewd, and he feels that things are difficult to do, and it is very difficult to excuse them.

A few strategists, you look at me, I look at you, there was silence for a long time, Mao Kun tapped the table with his fingers, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Mr. Kamon, do you have an idea?"

"Hahaha, my lord, it's also providential, if we directly escort Mr. Yu to the capital, the three divisions will be tried, and the Ming canonical punishment will be punished, we have no way at all. But who let them pretend to be smart, and on the way through, interrogating Mr. Yu gave us a chance to turn the tables. ”

In fact, it's not that the other party is stupid, because he got people to the capital, and under the public, even if the corruption is confirmed, it is just to demote Yu Dayou to a concubine, Hu Zongxian is at most a matter, and Tang Yi cannot be implicated at all, obviously the other party will not be satisfied with a deliberate blow, and only take two dispensable chess pieces, so he will coerce and lure on the way and pry open Yu Dayou's mouth.

"My lord, now we have to muddy the waters, any big family in the southeast has not received the benefits of Hu Dashuai, not only a Yan Shifan, Xu Jie, even Yan Ne, to take things out and let everyone in the world know the truth; Secondly, it is necessary to mobilize the wealthy businessmen in the southeast to avenge the grievances of Mr. Yu and Hu Dashuai, not only to praise the achievements of the anti-Japanese war in the capital, but also to create public opinion in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, especially Shilin! Mao Kun said loudly. (To be continued.) )
