With the command of the forbidden army of Ying Tianfu, Hu Yanbao brought back Zhao Xu, the young emperor, and the long-awaited ironclad evidence of the investigation and punishment of the Jiangnan corruption case. This early dynasty made all the court officials understand that the anger of this young emperor would also make their feet tremble and their hearts tremble. Those courtiers involved in this case, even if they don't die, I'm afraid they will never come out again.

What's more, after being investigated for the Mo's family property, their family members will also be implicated. Accustomed to a life of luxury and waste, and suddenly becoming destitute, this kind of rapid change of life is not something that everyone can adapt to. But compared with the previous raids and exterminations, in the current situation of respecting literature and suppressing martial arts, these criminals should be happy.

The lifting of the lid on the Jiangnan corruption case did not cause chaos in various parts of Jiangnan as these ministers feared. If you want to say that the real confusion is only those officials involved in this case in Jiangnan officialdom.

Among them, two Zhejiang roads are undoubtedly the hardest hit areas this time, and Zhizhou plus the transfer envoy Tongtong was taken down and will be escorted to Beijing for trial. The state officials under its jurisdiction are also widespread. Zhao Xu, who had been watched by the ministers, was not a matter after all, and soon his anger subsided a little, and began to let the courtiers discuss who would take over the position of the governor of the Liangzhejiang Road, which was taxed by the imperial court.

knows that the weight of this Liangzhelu Zhizhou is no worse than being an official in the imperial court, although the grade is a little lower. But after all, it was the area with the most abundant taxes for the imperial court, and it was a place where literati and artists gathered, so the court official did not want to have the opportunity to be released. Go there to serve as a governor of a party and really become a prince-like role?

The courtiers who were frightened now heard that Zhao Xu asked them to recommend to replace the officials of the Liangzhejiang Road who seemed to be a mess. Even Fan Chunren, who was greatly injured by this incident, did not recommend it politely, and a civil official with sufficient qualifications and a good reputation under his subordinates took up this position.

However, the other ministers of the opposing faction were naturally not willing to let him grab this position again, and also recommended the officials of his own faction. The purpose is to let this vacant governor state have officials from their own faction to serve as officials, and increase their voice in the court and locality. This kind of almost desperate recommendation also made Zhao Xu feel irritable.

Just when the courtiers of the two sides were attacking each other for an extremely heavy governor's state, Zhao Xu looked at his imperial uncle Zhao Hao, who rarely spoke, and suddenly said, "King Xu, what do you think about the appointment of the governor of the two Zhejiang prefectures?" ”

Hearing that the imperial nephew turned the spearhead here, Zhao Hao, the king of Xu, looked at the ministers of the two factions of reform and conservative with a torch-like gaze, and knew that it was an offending thing to support anyone. It's just that he really has someone in his heart about the candidate for this governor's state. Of course, in a sense, this candidate was also briefly mentioned by Cho Hyo-seok in his secret letter to him.

Shengshang, Weichen thought that the reason for the Jiangnan corruption case was that these officials were too selfish. In the face of the greed and oppression of the officials, they did not dare to face the admonitions, resulting in almost half of the officials involved in this case in the entire Jiangnan officialdom today. Weichen thinks that the Jiangnan tax is related to the stability of the foundation of the imperial court, and the position of the governor of Liangzhejiang Road is particularly important.

According to Weichen, if the saint is willing, Weichen recommends Zuo Si to Liu to take this position. Although the grade has been slightly reduced, Weichen feels that at this time when the officialdom in Jiangnan is turbulent, it is necessary to assign a minister of profit to clean up the officialdom.

Regardless of his moral character or official ethics, Weichen feels that he is enough to be qualified for this position, and if Lord Liu can hold this position, it will also help Jiangnan officials to calm the hearts of the people when their minds are floating at this time. At the same time, he guarded one side for the saint, so that the Jiangnan tax would not occur this time. At the same time, it can also show the saint and appease the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. ’

Liu Anshi, who was originally acting as a spectator, suddenly heard this in-law prince and pushed him to the cusp. I don't understand what the other party means! Especially when he saw Fan Chunren, the prime minister, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at him, and Liu Anshi really didn't know how to explain. You can't tell him now, he hasn't thought about these two Zhejiang Road governors!

Perhaps because of the reason of avoiding suspicion, Liu Anshi, a minister who used to lean more on the conservative side, has become much more low-key after forming a marriage with Xu Wangfu. It is no longer the same as before, and it seems aggressive every time it goes to court. This made Zhao Xu, who originally didn't have much of a good impression of him, also felt that the cronies of the imperial grandmother seemed to be much more honest in front of him.

Now I suddenly heard that Zhao Xu recommended him to serve as the governor of the two Zhejiang provinces, although the grade was slightly different, but Zhao Xu suddenly felt. Compared with the ministers pushed out by these two factions, Liu Anshi seems to be really the most suitable. In today's situation, he served as the governor of the two Zhejiang Road states. At least Zhao Hao has a sentence in his heart, that is, Liu Anshi's official character is still reliable.

If it weren't for seeing Liu Anshi with a stunned expression, he didn't seem to have expected this kind of thing at all, and there were many unspeakable meanings in his eyes when he looked at Fan Chunren, Zhao Xu would really think. When did this imperial uncle really get together with this civil official's family, so he deliberately sang a double reed at this time, wanting to win this heavy tax land in Zhejiang!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xu said: "Liu Aiqing, what do you think of Xu Wangzhi's recommendation?" ”

In the face of the emperor's inquiry, Liu Anshi actually reminded him to be a little more restrained when Zhao Xiaoxi came to the door that day. Don't think that relying on the Empress Dowager Gao, the Empress Dowager who listens to the government, can criticize Zhao Xu's resolution without any worries. Therefore, taking the opportunity of marrying Xu Wangfu, he was very timely to alienate the conservatives and become a court official similar to the neutrals.

'Returning to the saint, Wei Chen is only a shallow learner, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this great responsibility. If the saint thinks that Weichen can take on this important responsibility, then Weichen will definitely do his best to restore peace in Jiangnan as soon as possible and provide stable taxes for the imperial court. ’

Pushing first and then welcoming is also an old routine for them as courtiers. But for Zhao Xu, Liu Anshi at this time seems to be the best suitable candidate. Therefore, after consulting the Empress Dowager Gao behind him, he quickly decided that Liu Anshi would serve as the governor of Liangzhejiang and serve as the governor of Jiangnan, and give him the power to directly fold and play in front of the saint.

Seeing that the biggest fat was swallowed by Liu Anshi, Fan Chunren felt that compared to those candidates recommended by opposing ministers, Liu Anshi seemed to be more like people from their faction. And those reformist ministers also feel that Liu Anshi has been a lot more comfortable recently. If they are released, it will also be more beneficial to them. What's more, Liu Anshi was not recommended by Fan Chunren for this position.

This also means that the rumors that Liu Anshi and Fan Chunren have a discord do not seem to be without wind and waves. It is very cost-effective to divide the power of this conservative prime minister, and these reformist ministers feel that it is very cost-effective. For the reformist ministers, with the support of the young emperor, sooner or later they will be able to lead the government again and overwhelm these conservative officials.

What they lack now is nothing more than an opportunity for Zhao Xu to really be pro-government. Before the time was ripe, they did not dare to provoke the empress dowager too much, and they felt that the most secure way to suppress the conservative officials was to step by step. These ministers also understand the truth that haste is not enough.

The governors of the two Zhejiang roads were selected, and the rest of the prefects who needed to be cleaned up and investigated will also be investigated and supplemented by the Ministry of Officials. For officials involved in a huge amount of corruption, Zhao Xu also bluntly said that he would severely punish them. But this matter cannot be rushed, it is more appropriate to deal with Liu Guangqian, a huge corrupt predator, first, and then deal with those prefects.

Compared with other court officials, if they were lost, the officials of the household department were undoubtedly the happiest to hear that Huyan Leopard had escorted several million taels of silver to Beijing this time. With these millions of taels of silver, the overstretched imperial treasury can hold out for a while.

What's more, Huyan Leopard bluntly said that this is only the first batch of silver escorted, and the corrupt silver of those salt merchants and corrupt officials will be confiscated in the later stage, and the amount should not be less than this. This means that this time not only eradicated the cancer of Jiangnan officialdom, but also added a windfall to the treasury of the imperial court, which can be regarded as a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

But at this moment, more courtiers are very curious to know who the ministers of the imperial court who solve this problem are. can handle this corruption case that is enough to make Jiangnan chaotic so cleanly.

It wasn't until he had sold enough of Guanzi that Zhao Xu told him about secretly sending Zhao Xiaoxi to deal with the Jiangnan tax case. Hearing that it was this invincible little overlord who handled this matter so beautifully, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very surprised. When Huyan Leopard said Zhao Xiaoxi's carrot and stick processing methods, these court officials also felt it.

In their opinion, this kind of extremely tricky thing was solved by his intimidation and swords and guns in the hands of this stunned county king. Although the process was a little bloody, as long as Jiangnan did not cause chaos, he solved the problem for the imperial court and earned enough silver. No one dared to criticize this celebrity who is now in front of the two palaces in the matter of executing the pirates and the Zhu family.

On the contrary, Liu Anshi, who was about to return to Liangzhejiang Road with Huyan Leopard, suddenly felt that he could be pushed out by Zhao Hao, the king of Xu, to serve as the governor of this state. Among them, he really understands that it is not the help of the prince of the brave and unscrupulous county. Liu Anshi also felt very lucky to be able to leave the circle of right and wrong of this court and guard one side for the court on Liangzhejiang Road.

Now with the increase in Zhao Xu's authority, the officials of Fan Chunren's faction can also be said to have a hard time. If it weren't for the face of the empress dowager, whether Fan Chunren could serve as the prime minister at the head of the civil government was a question worth considering. Coupled with the outbreak of the Jiangnan case this time, Fan Chunren lost face even more. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager Gao's protection, it would have been possible for him to resign from his official position and return home for retirement.

Now leaving this nest of right and wrong that I don't know when it happened, Liu Anshi feels very lucky. At the same time, there is also a faint intuition, this county prince who is now an official to the festival is afraid that it is not as simple as they imagined. But no matter what, these things don't have much to do with him at the moment, and being the governor of this state is the most urgent thing for him to think about!
