Chapter 53: Messing Around

Originally, Ye Guan wanted to invite Mu Bin and his colleagues in the Zhenfu Division to drink together to contact their feelings. However, it happened that the emperor summoned Mu Bin, so in the end, Ye Guan invited Lin Yao and the merchants, as well as a group of thousands of households, with dozens of school captains who were not on duty, to drink. The brothers on duty, Ye Guan also distributed a few taels of silver by himself.

People are like this, suffering from widowhood but not equality, sometimes if you don't do good things properly, you will offend others. He has only been in Beijing for more than a month, and he has only been in charge of affairs since Jinyi Wei Qianhu took office to today, and the Zhenfu Division has not been to it a few times, let alone the Jinyi Wei Yamen in Tianjin Wei. In addition to the pacification envoy Lin Yao and the hundred merchants, the others are still in the stage of being familiar and unfamiliar, in fact, Jinyiwei is not like the legend that keeps arresting and interrogating people every day, in fact, most of the time, except for those spies distributed in various places, the days of Jinyiwei on the bright side are quite peaceful, occasionally there are some fights, stealing chickens and dogs and other cases, and Yingtianfu will do it quickly after a few arrests, and there is no need to work Jinyiwei.

Mingyue Lou is still a relatively high-end restaurant in the capital, and there is a certain prince standing behind him, with the face of the grandfather, so the business on the official side is also quite smooth.

Today, Ye Guan drinks with these subordinates, in fact, it is to connect with feelings, after all, his foundation is too shallow, and he is not a local, although those thousands of households seem to be very respectful, but Ye Guan estimates that most of them are also pretending.

Within a month or two, he was promoted from a showman to a commanding officer, such a promotion speed can be described as a rocket speed in the Ming officialdom, which will definitely cause people to be jealous, and Ye Guan has been here for a short time, and he has not done anything to convince everyone. The only two things that can be done are Huating's anti-Japanese and salt offerings. However, when it comes to the salt law, these brocade guards will no longer care about it. After all, the incident was in Songjiang Mansion, thousands of miles away, and the subordinates did not see it with their own eyes, and most of them thought that it was a false rumor, which was not enough to be believed. Except for Lin Yao and the merchants, and those captains who had received Ye Guan's benefits yesterday, the others certainly had other ideas.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the originally embarrassing atmosphere was heated up. During the banquet, everyone flattered again and again, all of them raised their thumbs and praised the adults for being young heroes, once in a hundred years, rare in a thousand years and so on. Ye Guan just smiled, neither blushing nor hindering. Whether it's true or not, whether it's true or not, it's at least a pleasing treat. It's better than scolding people to their faces.

Ordered someone to divide the remaining two thousand taels of Yin Ziwei from yesterday into one thousand taels to everyone, which was a meeting gift, and this gift pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to the **. Everyone scrambled to be the first, patting their chests and expressing their willingness to die for the adult, Ye Guan nodded with a slight smile, and didn't take this seriously, the loyalty of his subordinates is not something that can be bought for two thousand taels of silver, just listen to it, as long as everyone can get by on face, don't secretly make a stumbling block for his boss. And since you can follow the adults to have money to spend, naturally many people will give up the idea of disobeying the yang and the yin. At least the case sent by Mu Bin can be handled by a few people who can take advantage of it.

…………

The case that Ye Guan received was simple and simple, but it was also difficult to say. The official who was arrested and imprisoned was named Sun Hua, who was the head of the Ministry of Officials' Wenxuan Qing Officials, but he was just a small official from Liupin. In the city of Beijing, where a brick can be smashed into the Hou Ye, this little official is really nothing.

But the key is that the Wenxuan Qing Officials Division where he is located is responsible for the political assessment of officials in the world, and he loves vassal elegance and calls himself an idle mountain man. often get together with officials of Jiangnan people at the same time, chant poems and make the moon, and learn the actions of the Wei and Jin madmen. In addition, he was also promoted by the officials who came out of him, and he was quite supported and loved by Jiangnan scholars in Beijing.

However, it was this small official of the imperial court who was known as an idle mountain man who did not value fame and fortune was found out by Jinyiwei, who took the opportunity of the officials to evaluate the officials of various prefectures and counties, not only deliberately improved the performance level of official-level officials born in Jiangnan, but also secretly accepted bribes to buy land in his hometown. He has only been in office for two years, but he has sold thousands of acres of good land in his hometown.

In fact, this is also a case of stolen goods. But this Sun Hua didn't know that he wanted to be a madman of the Wei and Jin dynasties, and he actually wanted to put pressure on the court through his status in the minds of Jiangnan students in prison, and forced Jinyiwei to release him. This is difficult for Ye Guan.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di died, it seems that the murderous aura of his old Zhu family has been exhausted. The successive emperors were all standard literati emperors, with good tempers and soft ears, and the power that was weakened by Zhu Yuanzhang by all means gradually fell into the hands of the cabinet, plus the six departments also had the right to refute the emperor's holy decree, so the civil officials and scholars of the Ming Dynasty were almost turned upside down, and they were more reckless than those scholars and doctors in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, although those Jiangnan officials who had been taken care of by Sun Hua were not easy to come forward directly, they privately encouraged the Jiangnan students in Beijing to go to the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials to make trouble. Although Sun Hua's corruption and dereliction of duty is a sure thing, for the sake of his Ming Heng in Shilin, the officials and masters cherished their feathers very much and kicked the matter to Jinyiwei, who had a bad reputation.

It is said that the scholars are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, but in this matter, the group of students ran very fast, and in the morning they asked the criminal department to release them. In the afternoon, he ran to the ministry and asked the ministry to come forward to rescue Sun Hua.

Ye Guan brought more than a hundred or so people out from the Zhenfu Division to run to the official headquarters, but he did not send people to intercept those students at the first time. Instead, he carefully observed the situation in an alley not far away.

The more he knew about the situation, the more unsightly Ye Guan's face became. One hundred and ten Confucian scholars gathered at the entrance of the official department to explain the law, so that the official department did not dare to open the middle door today, only opened the side doors on both sides slightly, and asked the Shuntian Mansion to send dozens of soldiers to strictly guard, so as not to let those students suddenly become enthusiastic and storm the yamen.

"Those who run to the house will not get it, what are the scholars Liangshan Haohan Lu doing when he sees injustice and pulls out a knife to help, and he is not a good person to save it. You said that when the initial emperor didn't bury those Confucian scholars one by one, he would find something for our Jinyiwei to do. Ye saw so many Confucian scholars gathered at the door, and he felt a little suspicious of those scholars who didn't understand the ways of officialdom, but only had a head of enthusiasm and were used by others.

Ye Guan spoke like this, but those subordinates didn't dare to get involved. If this is spread out, Ye Guan Ke will not be able to see the good faces of those civil officials and scholars in the future, who will let their status be earned from the Four Books and Five Classics.

As time went on, his requests were not answered. Although the left and right attendants who stood on the steps of the gate of the Ministry of Officials and the right attendants of the Ministry of Rites who came to the office were persuaded bitterly, the Confucian students present were also becoming more and more impatient, and the other Confucian scholars were okay, some of the Confucian scholars who relied on their own talents and the identity of the people actually discussed and went to the Ministry together, those soldiers only dared to block the Confucian students who had no identity, but these people who went forward had an identity, even if they saw those people, they had to respectfully shout a prince or raise people, it was too late to respect, where did they dare to stop.

Seeing that the situation was expanding, Ye Guan couldn't wait any longer, so he had to take more than 100 of his subordinates to the ministry.

When those scholars saw Jinyiwei coming, they became even more emotional, and many people relied on the idea that the law did not blame the public, although they did not dare to throw rotten eggs at Ye Guan and the others, but they shouted slogans in the crowd.

"In broad daylight, Lang Lang Lang, the factory guards bully and bully the good people, and almost want to do the shameless things that were wantonly fabricated in the early years of the founding of the country, framing the ministers for flattery!"

"Heaven is unfair, traitors are in charge, we must go to beat the drum, so that the Son of Heaven will not be deceived by that traitor."

"Let go of Master Sun and dismiss Jinyiwei!"

"The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee are faint and decrepit, and those old officials who are in love with official positions are dismissed!"

…………

As more and more words were spoken, the original Huaao sports gradually deviated. Not only Ye Guan, but even some officials in the Ministry frowned when they heard it.

When today's son is famously fond of using old ministers. Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, is in his seventies. The previous minister, Wang Shu, was already ninety years old. Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, is seventy years old. The other important ministers were also in their sixties. Therefore, many officials of the Qingzhuang faction are dissatisfied in their hearts, and if they don't get it right today, it will not be a trouble caused by scholars, but a conspiracy against those old ministers under the bewitchment of people with intentions.

Ma Wensheng was not in the court for a few days, so there were only the left and right attendants and Jiao Fang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who happened to come to the office. Jiao Fang was impatient and didn't like those southerners who liked to play tricks, so when he saw that these scholars were actually talking more and more ugly, he couldn't help frowning and said, "You are all saint disciples, you should know how to educate yourself. is a person with a meritorious name, don't you cherish the status of a person who has only been exchanged for ten years? Don't be bewitched by people with intentions as soon as your mind is hot, and become their pawns. ”

Jiao Fang said good things, but in this scene, how could those excited readers listen to it.

"Phew, you shameless old pickled goods, in terms of knowledge, you can catch up with us in the goods that eat noodles, drink soup and eat buns from the ravines and ravines of Henan? I think you should go back to study hard, and I also want to tell my children, don't be a man who doesn't learn like a fan, and he is also a bachelor. I don't know where the humiliation of Jiao Fang came from, not only was no one reprimanded, but it won a burst of cheers from the readers present, and Jiao Fang gasped when he heard it, but he couldn't find the culprit, not only hated these scholars present, but also hated all the people in Jiangnan.

Hearing those scholars speak so unpolitely, no matter what Jiao Fang's habits or temper are, he will be a serious court official anyway, and his age is also here, but he is humiliated by these descendants. Ye Guan's disgust with these indiscriminate scholars became more and more in his heart, and when he walked down the steps, he couldn't help but say coldly: "You are all Jiangnan people, and you are not far from Sun Hua's hometown. Go back and inquire if Sun Hua bought a thousand acres of fertile land in his hometown, and the will to arrest people has been drafted by His Majesty's Holy Judgment and Cabinet votes, what are you doing here for no reason. There must have been conclusive evidence of the imperial court's arrest. ”

The scholars froze for a moment, and then exploded as if they had burst a powder keg.

"The factory guard is really arrogant and domineering! Cover the sky with one hand, bully the Son of Heaven from above, and press Li Shu down! ”

"If you frame Zhongliang, you won't die well!"

The scene exploded, and it instantly became chaotic, and this group of lawless scholars rushed towards the yamen together.

In the chaos, hundreds of households tightly surrounded Ye Guan to protect him from being beaten, but Jiao Fang was unlucky, and the crowd was beaten out of nowhere, screaming in pain. The official hat also fell off, and the official uniform was torn.

Ye Guan was also very angry, he hated this kind of unreasonable and nonsense person the most, saying that he was a scholar, and he had been reading sage books for many years.
