Chapter 540: The Ministry of Death
After leaving the capital for a while, although I can get the news, after all, it is itchy and difficult to see the whole picture.
The Criminal Department is in charge of the world's laws and criminal laws, and it was originally a relatively neutral and professional yamen, but Yan Dang Bingguo has caused too much trouble and created countless sins over the years. Therefore, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, the Dali Temple, and the Three Law Divisions have always been their manpower.
It's just that since the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing, Xu Jie's onslaught has been launched, and most of the Yan Party are old and mediocre, and they have reached the age of metabolism.
In addition, the Xu Party is eyeing the tiger, and it is urgent to master the criminal department and cut off the minions of the Yan Party.
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department is like a marquee, not to mention how diligent it is.
Jia Yingchun went to the household department before, and the book of the criminal department was handed over to Min Xi, but because of his mother's funeral, Min Xi went home to worry about filial piety, Xu Jie saw the opportunity and decisively recommended Feng Tianyu to take over the criminal department.
Just when he was about to do a big job, the criminal department gave Hou Tingzhu a letter to impeach Feng Tianyu for being incompetent, if it was just like this, it would be nothing, Hou Tingzhu also mentioned that Feng Tianyu asked for bribes from his subordinates in the name of taking concubines.
When Jiajing saw it, he immediately became angry, he didn't care about his subordinates taking bribes, but when Feng Tianyu took a concubine, it was Jiajing who was sick.
Good guy, the monarch's father is sick, he doesn't give blessings, and he also accepts concubines, what do you have to think about, without waiting for Xu Jie's action, Feng Tianyu was dismissed.
Obviously, this is the revenge of the Yan Party, of course, Xu Ge Lao did not show weakness, and instigated the officials to transfer Hou Tingzhu to the Nanyang prefect, and dismissed him before he could take up his post.
A pawn, right a Shangshu, obviously Xu Ge Lao suffered a loss.
Cai Yuncheng, a member of the Criminal Department Shangshu and Yan Song.
In just three months, the Criminal Department changed from a strict party to a Xu party, and then from a Xu party to a strict party, and it was just a yamen. It shows how cruel and bloody the fight between the two sides is!
No wonder a leading general like Liu Tao shuddered, Tang Yi was even a little glad that he ran to Huai'an, which can be regarded as avoiding a lot of wind and rain.
For a while, he had the heart not to return to the capital for the time being.
Of course, he just thinks about it, the more swords and swords. The more he wants to go back, he must get enough bargaining chips to protect himself before the fall of the Yan Party, otherwise he will wait for Xu Jie to dominate the imperial court, and then he will want to fish in troubled waters, but he will have no chance.
"Mr. Renfu, seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, and the little nephew will return to Beijing tomorrow, do you have anything else to explain?"
"This ......" Liu Tao was stunned. With a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"You and your father are good friends, we are friends, if you have any orders, just say it."
Liu Tao sighed, "Okay, it's indeed a bit of a private matter, not long ago, I went home." When I left home and went back to my eldest child, I felt a lot of emotion! In the past few years, I have led troops to fight in Jiangnan. I thought that Jiangnan was full of fishy, killing continued, and the life of the common people was hard enough, who would have thought that Cangzhou was worse than Jiangnan, and there were beggars and homeless people everywhere. I can't bear to look at it! ”
Cangzhou is the hometown of martial arts, with many masters, and it is also the hometown of opera and the hometown of eunuchs...... It's ashamed to say it, it's next to Jingshi. It's like a siphon effect, good things are sucked away from the capital, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries occupy land everywhere, and the people are displaced.
Some people went to the capital to sing and sell their arts, relying on the rivers and lakes to earn a little living expenses, and there were also many young people who practiced martial arts hard and went to work as bodyguards and thugs for others.
In addition to these, there are even more miserable, some families have too many children, so they cut the boy and send it to the capital, hoping that the palace will receive eunuchs and be able to go in and mix a bite of food.
It's sad to think about it, which parent doesn't expect their children to pass on the family and continue the incense. But the family is poor, and it is difficult to even live.
Although it is not good to be a eunuch, it is not possible to eat enough, as for starting a family, I dare not think about it for a long time!
Liu Tao witnessed it with his own eyes and was heartbroken, he wrote a few letters, recommending some young people to go to the south to join the army, and it is better to come out with a reputation with their skills than to cut a knife and become a eunuch.
It's just that his power is limited, how many people can he help?
Tang Yi is recognized as a good wealth boy, turning stones into gold, Liu Tao passed by Taicang several times, and now it has become the richest place in the southeast, the name of "Golden Taicang", no one knows!
"Okay, can you help me think of a way to find some decent guys for my blind date?"
"Hehe, this is not difficult." Tang Yi said with a smile: "Mr. Renfu, now that you are in charge of the salt transportation department, find some fellow villagers to come over, let them act as stove households, or help transport and sell salt, it is also a way." ”
Of course Liu Tao wants to get it, but there are disadvantages to doing it selflessly. Spread it out, it's not good to say!
Seeing him hesitate, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Mr. Renfu, don't worry, I will explain it, I don't dare to pack tickets, but it will not be a problem to solve the livelihood of 18,000 people." ”
Liu Tao stood up excitedly and bowed deeply, "In this case, I can thank the villagers for their great kindness!" ”
The two of them were unintentional, who knew that a few years later, a powerful Cangzhou gang had already appeared, which made the originally intricate Lianghuai salt affairs even more troublesome, and Liu Tao was even almost ruined...... Of course, this is all later, after Tang Yi explained the situation, he quietly left Huai'an, he did not take the land route, but took a sea ship, landed from Tianjin, and rushed back to the capital.
When Tang Yi came back, it was exactly the twenty-third year of the lunar month.
There were still a lot of people who came back with Tang Yi, the first was Wu Tiancheng, Tang Yi said hello to Gao Gong and stuffed Wu Tiancheng into the Guozijian.
The tall man is still quite unhappy, he is in charge of the national prison, he wants to make results, just stuff someone over, what's the matter?
But then again, Tang Yi's face is too big, and he can't refuse.
On the first day Wu Tiancheng went to Guozijian, he was called by Gao Gong, scolded him, and the dog was bloody, let him be a good man, study hard, don't embarrass Lord Tang, and don't embarrass him Gao Daren!
Wu Tiancheng was scolded and sweaty, and said in his heart, Master, Master, I am still an old man who is magnanimous, and I feel sorry for my apprentice, how do you know that I found such an ancestor to clean me up!
He has a bitter stomach and can only enjoy the study life of ********.
There is also Wang Wenxian's grandson Wang Xiu, who was stunned and fell by Tan Guang for more than ten days, and he also fell out of his feelings, so he had to follow the master to learn skills, and he didn't eat without nodding. His parents are so angry that they choked enough, our family just handed over good luck, and the silver is rolling in, silly boy, what kind of martial arts are you learning!
After hearing this, the old man didn't say anything, he directly prepared his bags, sent his grandson quickly, and turned around and scolded his son and daughter-in-law.
"Stupid, Elm Braincase, say my grandson is stupid, I think you two are more assholes than him! How did we get to where we are today? It's not all given by Lord Tang! If someone can give it, they can take it back! Got it? Follow Xiu'er to Lord Tang, sooner or later our family will be in trouble, and we will have to point to Lord Tang for help. ”
After listening to the two of them, the chick pecked the rice and kept nodding.
Wu Tiancheng and Wang Xiu said that the most troublesome thing was the twenty beauties, Tang Yi had the heart to go back, but Wang Lutai and they didn't agree.
"Adults, the little ones don't have other thoughts, these girls can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, and they look quite good, you treat them as maids and maids, and it is also their blessing. Outsiders know that the little ones bought them, if they return it, it's good to say it's not good, and the girls will be ruined for a lifetime, adults, you are also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, can you bear to look at it? ”
On the wine table, you and I have a glass, and Tang Yi was dazed, and the words sent back were not said in the end. When he woke up, his bowels were full of remorse.
But it can't be left untreated, Tang Yi thought about it, decided to send someone to send it home first, and wrote a letter to Wang Yueying, telling her what happened before and after, and finally said that she would deal with it as she wanted, no matter what, there was nothing to say.
In this way, Tang Yi returned to the capital, and when he arrived at home, his daughter-in-law was waiting at the door with her son in her arms, I haven't seen her for a long time, my daughter-in-law is still so outstanding, and her bearing is calm.
If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for!
Xiao Ping'an has grown up a lot, his little eyes are dark, looking at Tang Yi, a little timid and a little curious.
Sure enough, I was born!
Tang Yi took out a string of beeswax from his arms, yellow and clear, and shook it in front of Ping'an, the little guy grinned, stretched out his little hand and grabbed it firmly. Tang Yi took the opportunity to hold his son in his arms and said with a smile: "Ping'an, have you eaten the stove candy?" ”
"No, my mother won't let me eat it." Xiao Ping'an was a little aggrieved, and his eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
Tang Yihu said with a face: "Don't be afraid, when Dad comes back, someone will call the shots for you, let's go, let's eat together." “
Ping An cheered, Wang Yueying secretly pinched Tang Yi's weakness, "I know that if you pretend to be a good person and let me sing blackface, it is easy to get tooth decay after eating too much sugar, didn't you say it?" ”
Tang Yi bared his teeth, "Yes, yes...... Hehe, daughter-in-law, didn't I just come back, my son recognized his life, and he was tired in a few days, I promise to teach him a good lesson! ”
"I hope so!"
Wang Yueying believes in Tang Yi in every way, but she has no hope at all when it comes to educating children. After two years, I have to give peace to Tang Shunzhi, or my eldest brother Wang Shizhen, and then send it to Nanjing, let his grandfather teach, in short, I can't let Tang Yi spoil the child.
Wang Yueying secretly thought that the family got together, after eating a piece of stove candy, Xiao Ping'an smiled, and there was no estrangement with his father, not to mention more kisses, and he kept screaming, Tang Yi's exhaustion was gone, and when he slept, he had a smile on his face......
Turning the day, Xu Wei hurried over, and as soon as he saw Tang Yi, he stretched out his fat big hand.
"Okay, nothing else, enjoy some red envelopes, right?"
Tang Yi grinned, "Brother Wen, it's not the New Year yet, right?" ”
"Hehe, the year has not passed, but you are about to be promoted, Your Majesty has issued a decree to reward you for your meritorious service and give you a bachelor's degree in Hanlin. I also heard that now that the right attendant of the Criminal Department is empty, you are a big candidate! ”
"The Criminal Department?"
Tang Yi couldn't help but think of Liu Tao's conversation with him, and he was cold, it was the death group that changed Shangshu for three months and changed for three months, let's change places, okay? (To be continued.) )
PS: Does Xiao Tang want to be in the Mixed Punishment Department, everyone give me an idea!
