PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
Sure enough, as Lao Li Tou thought, this matter did not end like this, or rather, the emperor's thunderous anger that day was just a small beginning.
Lao Li Tou failed to come out of the palace after all, Zhu Youzhu was not afraid of what he was doing in the decoction, and he still drank the medicine prepared by Lao Li Tou's prescription every day, but the relationship with Lao Li Tou has lost its intimacy in the past.
Jin Yiwei received a secret order to thoroughly investigate the corruption case of the river workers, but the above requirement was an unannounced visit, and the matter must not be put to the open until sufficient evidence is obtained.
This is bitter******** the right deputy governor of the Yellow River, Liu Daxia, originally the Yellow River governance work has come to an end, but I didn't expect that there were many strange faces.
The things that these people were holding in their hands made him, the right deputy governor, dare not get mad easily, because those three words have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people since the Taizu period.
Jin Yiwei, throughout the Ming Dynasty, no matter which emperor is in his hands, even if he is no longer valued by the emperor, in the eyes of officials, he is still unprovoked.
Wang Zhi's East Factory was idle, and every day he still tried his best to serve the emperor, except for some small things, the emperor would tell him to do, and all other things bypassed him and contacted Xiao Jing directly.
Wang Zhi, who is good at figuring out his thoughts, also realized something, and no longer took the initiative to take care of anything, but just did what the emperor ordered him to do. They are at peace with each other.
Tianjin and Fuzhou suddenly appeared a lot of unfamiliar faces, which aroused Xie Lun's vigilance, this former head catcher, not only is a good hand in business, but also the old business has not been lost.
The Wenxuan General Number Council Hall was full of people, the row on the left was the branch shopkeeper of the Wenxuan, and on the right was the major captains who came out of the Wenxuan Riding independently and came under the jurisdiction of the Wenxuan.
This kind of lieutenant is not appointed by the imperial court, but has the same power as the lieutenant within the Wenxuan.
"Have these outsiders found out recently, what is the origin?" Xie Lun sat on the throne in the center, and next to him stood Li Xiaozhi, who was elegantly dressed and ruddy-faced.
"Big shopkeeper, there is no need to check the details of these strangers, they all have official backgrounds, and the accessories on their bodies are the same as those of Jinyiwei in Beijing, it is estimated that they are Jinyiwei's people."
"Yes, big shopkeeper, there are always people who go to the general number to inquire about the situation recently, and the way of questioning is polite, but the purpose is not pure. Some people even asked me how much Wenxuan produced in a year. It is estimated that the imperial court is going to take action against Wenxuan, otherwise they would not let Jinyiwei investigate. ”
The people on both sides scrambled to say their own speculations, and the information was taken together, that is, the imperial court was dissatisfied with Zhang Ru's occupation of a large amount of wealth, and wanted to nationalize the Wenxuan.
Xie Lun frowned and pondered, this matter does not seem to be simple at all, the people who came here before had more or less an official background, but they did not have a Jinyi background like this time.
As everyone knows, Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal guard, is the emperor's forbidden body, under normal circumstances, without the emperor's order, there will be no Jinyiwei.
"The big shopkeeper, Xiaosheng has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not." Seeing that he had been silent for a long time and did not speak, Li Xiaozhi bowed down and asked in his ear.
Xie Lun said: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
Li Xiaozhi: "Xiaosheng thought that the appearance of Jinyiwei this time was purely a temptation. Jin Yiwei's style has always been strong, never asking whether it is right or wrong, as long as there is even the slightest hint, they would rather kill mistakes than let them go.
But this time they were just asking some questions everywhere, trying to get clues from some people's mouths. This means that Jin Yiwei does not have any evidence yet, and is only suspected for the time being.
There is also a possibility that the Holy Beings do not want to make a big deal out of the situation today, so let them be careful.
It can be said that no matter which possibility it is, my Wenxuan is on fire, as long as any minister in Beijing who has some right to speak is less fire, we will be the dishes on someone else's plate.
Not surprisingly, the news is estimated to have been transmitted back to Hou Ye.
If you have to wait for Hou Ye's order, it is estimated that the daylilies are cold. What we have to do now is not how to prevent it, but how to buy these brocade guards. Only by making them their own people, and then letting them speak for us, will it be possible to avoid this time. ”
Li Xiaozhi is a scholar after all, and his speech is not very effective, as soon as the words fell, someone immediately retorted: "Bribery, how easy it is to say, they are all officials of the imperial court, even if they just come to ask every day, if you dare to go close, he will immediately find a reason to take you to prison." ”
"That is, we have a lot of secrets in our hands, as long as one of them is in trouble, the others will definitely be unlucky. What will Hou Ye do then? ”
"Don't make bad ideas there as a scholar, let's listen to what the big shopkeeper has to say!"
All the opposing opinions are the branch shopkeepers, who do hold a lot of secrets, but not as mysterious as they say. As a person in the future, Zhang Ru can't even think of this.
As early as the beginning of the establishment of Wenxuan, Zhang Ru was ready to take precautions. It's just that at that time, what he wanted to guard against was not Zhu Youzhang, but his political enemies.
It can be said that even if these dozen semicolon shopkeepers are all arrested, Wenxuan will still be able to continue to operate in three days.
The key to the Winshare is not in these people, its business model is extremely unique, but this unique business model is well known. Others either don't have the relationship with Wenxuan, or they don't have the financial resources of Wenxuan, and they don't have the capital to draw gourds like this.
Xie Lun pressed down with his hands and stopped everyone's noise: "Okay, what Xiaozhi said is not unreasonable, you are all so afraid, it is just that you are afraid that you will be affected."
Don't think about it, we have all come through so many thresholds together, and we won't even be able to overcome this small difficulty.
After you go back, you should do your own job and don't make trouble for the general number. As for where you should go, please think carefully about how hard-won it is to be able to have today's status.
You don't make a mistake, how Master Hou treats the people below, I don't need to say more. ”
This time, it was very fortunate that the time of the Wenxuan deliberations every year coincided with the time when Jinyiwei came to investigate, which gave Xie Lun a buffer time and his subordinates also had a time to prepare.
After instructing the shopkeepers one by one on how to deal with emergencies after they went back, Xie Lun lay down in the chair very tiredly and looked at Li Xiaozhi, who had just finished explaining the matter to the captains of the Biaoyun Cavalry.
The people in the council hall left one after another, some with horror on their faces, some with relief on their faces, and many more with heaviness on their faces.
It's just that now everyone is in the same boat, and when the boat capsizes, everyone has to die. There have been opportunities to stop and disembark along the way, but definitely not now.
On the contrary, most of the people on this side of Soaring Cloud Riding are very relaxed and freehand, and their prosperity and wealth are completely because of Zhang Ru's appearance.
And now, the Wenxuan is in trouble, and the righteousness in their hearts will immediately come out. As long as they can let their families have a decent life and let their children have a bright future, they don't care about their own lives at all. On the contrary, many people feel that this is a good opportunity to repay the favor.
The stark contrast between the two made Xie Lun sigh: "Look, this is the difference between a reader and a Jianghu person!" ”
Li Xiaozhi smiled embarrassedly: "The big shopkeeper's words, shouldn't he be burying me!" ”
Xie Lun slapped his head suddenly: "Oops, I almost forgot that our Zhiduoxing Xiaozhi is also a scholar, it's me who lost his words, I lost my words." ”
"Big shopkeeper, it's best not to show your head too much during this time, these brocade guards are obviously coming for our Wenxuan, in other words, they are directly coming for Hou Ye. The key to the Wenxuan is you, as long as you have something, then our Wenxuan is really finished. Li Xiaozhi reminded solemnly.
Xie Lun nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, this time someone suddenly came to the capital, and the purpose is really obvious." Our relationship in the capital also revealed a lot of useful information. It seems that what the right deputy governor Yushi Liu Daxia said in front of His Majesty, what is the specific, the Hou Ye may know, and there should be news back in the near future.
In this way, these days will be tired of filial piety, how hard you have worked. ”
Li Xiaozhi said: "Don't worry, the big shopkeeper has already arranged these things for filial piety, as long as the big shopkeeper is fine, even if the thirteen semicolon shopkeepers of Wenxuan and I are all arrested by Jinyiwei, Hou Ye will be fine." This foundation is not easy to come by, and filial piety will be cherished.
The rest of the people who ride the clouds are transferred to the adults! Anyway, Xiaozhi is just a nobody, and ordinary people's eyes will not fall on me. ”
Xie Lun retorted: "You also have a lot of secrets on you, so it's better to leave some people for you." Otherwise, if Master Hou is investigated, my head will not be able to hold it. ”
Li Xiaozhi said with a smile: "Don't tease me, the big shopkeeper, I'm just a scholar, and it's not so easy for the court to ask for something from my mouth." Besides, my children are nine years old. ”
The meaning of the last sentence is to tell Xie Lun that my son is nine years old, and now that my son is not by my side, even if I am caught, I will not say half a word.
Xie Lun smiled faintly and stopped talking.
I have to say that Zhang Ru's people are really fast, and in just ten days, Jinyiwei, who came to investigate the situation, found a very embarrassing problem.
Every time I go to ask someone, they will be warmly received by the other party, and they will even be dragged around the kiln.
These Wenxuan people didn't seem to care about the consumption of a few hundred taels of silver a day, but it was not so easy to ask what to say from them.
Those who were like loaches, as long as they asked about the Wenxuan, they either changed the topic or gag.
It's just that the people of Jinyiwei still can't do anything about them, you can't just eat other people's and take other people's and you can arrest them!
The embarrassing and happy days lasted for a month and a half, and by the middle of August of the seventh year of Hongzhi, the brocade guards who had found nothing were recalled to the capital by Mu Bin.
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
