Chapter 149 - Meeting Kicks the Ball
Sure enough, as Hongyi expected, Liu Chang, the Han Shangshu of the Criminal Department, said "impeachment", which caused another commotion on both sides of the Manchu and Han sides. After a short while, a person finally flashed out of Hanchen, who was very thin and a little sluggish, but said loudly:
"Minister, Li Jiqi, the Han Shangshu of the Ministry of War, thought that Liu Changjun had no case before and should be punished."
Liu Chang on the side also "hummed" lightly, with a look of disdain.
"Oh? Fu Xian, where did this come from? You're not going to write a poem to refute it again, are you? Fu Lin actually used the word to call this Hanchen, and also ridiculed, which seemed very intimate.
"Minister...... I haven't been writing poetry for a long time......" Li Jiqi suddenly flinched, but he did not escape Hongyi's condescending and vigilant eyes.
"Haha, I'm joking, it's me who is 'formless'. Okay, you say you say. Fu Lin smiled and looked at Liu Chang again. That is to say, people say that you are "formless", and I myself say that I am "formless", so you should stabilize you first!
"If you go back to the emperor, the emperor has already hadith: only words and deeds, no sin. Master Hu has already confessed his guilt, and he can make a decision afterwards, and he will have his own public judgment. Shangshu Liu Chang said that he was guilty, and he was untruthful. Even if it is to be said, the criminal department should first list the crimes of the North Korean mission and his party in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, which is the right way. Li Jiqi finally stabilized his thoughts and spoke eloquently. After speaking, he returned to the train and said no more.
"Well, there's some truth. However, let's not talk about what Liu Chang said, let's focus on what the guilt of the North Koreans is. Fulin showed superb conference organization skills, which made Hongyi on the side very impressed.
"Minion Initiation." Finally. The Criminal Department is full of Shangshu Tuhai.
The two Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the Han Dynasty kicked the ball to his criminal department one after another, and Tuhai's own Han Shangshu Liu Chang came up to attack each other like the Han people, and he didn't get to the point at all.
In order to relieve Hu Shi'an, Li Jiqi of the Ministry of War "pulled out his sword to help when he saw the injustice", but he still kicked the ball to the feet of the Criminal Department intentionally or unintentionally. This Li Fuxian Li Jiqi was transferred to Liu Chang at the same time in February this year, Liu Chang was transferred from the Ministry of Industry to the Criminal Department, and Li Jiqi was promoted from the Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department to the Ministry of Industry, but three months later, he was immediately transferred to the Ministry of War to be a Han Shangshu. When it comes to these things in the Criminal Department, Li Jiqi is much better than Liu Chang! It's coming. The old man of the Criminal Department is going to take the test to take the knowledge of the two Manchu and Han Criminal Department scholars. That's the best time for Tuhai to go out in person!
"Okay, Tuhai, speak." Fulin is very happy that his descendants are about to play.
"The slave thought. North Korean traders smuggle and sell prohibited items. The emperor has long had a hadith. May of the third year of Shunzhi. The Turpan State paid tribute to the purchase of utensils in Beijing, and the items and quantities allowed to be bought and sold are not clear. So, the Ministry of Rites said. 'In the old case, the amount of utensils purchased has long been limited'. ”
Tu Hai first said the word "Ministry of Rites", which is to show that Hu Shi'an's Ministry of Rites has long been customized for such things, which can be regarded as protecting Hu Shi'an, and can also be regarded as a wordless refutation of Liu Chang, and also contains the meaning of intentionally "keeping a distance" from Li Jiqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who also participated in the impeachment of Liu Chang.
"The emperor issued a royal approval in the Ministry of Rites: 'If you steal and buy prohibited things, once the person finds out the buyer and seller and monitors the servants, he will be punished together.'" Tu Hai glanced at the emperor, gave full play to his advantage of being an attendant and could read a large number of emperor's imperial approvals, and got the expected full of praise, and then said:
"If it is true that there is dereliction of duty in dealing with the traders of the Qing Dynasty in the middle, or if there is indeed dereliction of duty on the part of the Ministry of Rites and the supervision of the museum, the Criminal Department will naturally follow the instructions of the superior and investigate and deal with it according to the law. It can be discussed how the Korean envoys were punished, but in the current "Supplementary Regulations on the Collection of Laws of the Great Qing Dynasty", there is no precedent for the time being. This is because the DPRK's response to the DPRK's envoys smuggling prohibited goods is usually consulted by the Ministry of Rites of the DPRK, and the DPRK will try the criminals on its own and then report to the Ministry of Rites for the record. If the matter is important, the minister will be ordered to go to the DPRK to investigate the case and make a decision. ”
When Tuhai said this, Hongyi, who was on the top of the imperial steps, secretly gave a thumbs up--Niu Ren, and in the seventeenth century, he consciously felt that he had figured out the difference between domestic law and international law! Although the Koreans are subjects of the subject state, they are also considered foreign vassal states, so they can only be tried by the DPRK itself, and our side will only exercise the "final decision" of the suzerain.
Hearing that the ball was kicked back to the feet of the Ministry of Rites again, Enged was a little dissatisfied, but he did not dare to refute rashly because he had indeed served too shortly, so he had to change his expression of asking for help, and looked at his partner Hu Shi'an. However, Hu Shi'an nodded frequently there at this time, with an expression of approval and admiration and a confidant, which really made Enged half angry.
Even if Tu Hai didn't observe, he knew what the expressions of the two Rite Ministers looked like at this time. But he didn't care about it, and blindly continued to talk about it according to his own ideas:
"It's just that this case is quite deep, and it involves the royal horses, so the slaves were in a hurry, so they first called in the soldiers of the Criminal Department, and together with the patrol battalion, they detained all the Koreans in the Yuhe Pavilion, and did not interrogate them to the lobby of the Criminal Department without authorization. As for how to deal with it in the future, is it possible to find out what prohibited items the Koreans smuggled in the capital, especially the Houku [1] of the Ministry of Households, the Commandery Division of the Ministry of War, the Arsenal Clearance Division, and the Taifu Temple, the Ordnance Section, the Munitions Depot, the Sulfur Depot, the Lead Depot, and the Cannon Depot of the Yuheng Officials Division of the Ministry of Industry, as well as the two Qian Fatang, Baoquan Bureau, and Baoyuan Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Second Ministry of Household and Industry, jointly discuss and investigate, and list in detail the detailed names and quantities of the military artifacts involved in the Korean smuggling. ”
"Good!" Fulin blurted out. What those in power appreciate and need the most is a "capable officer" like Tuhai: before major events, he has a clear idea, controls the overall situation without any confusion, and explains the key points clearly. In terms of details, the rules and regulations are also clear, and all the specific "functional departments" involved in military products are also listed one by one, and no one has to evade and dodge.
"Good!" Hongyi couldn't help but applaud, but he just had to hold it in his heart-
What a complex talent map! This zuihou passage not only relieved the criminal department of responsibility. It also raised the issue of detailed physical evidence, so that the remaining ministries and institutes were "evenly interested", and no one should stand by and settle down at ease, which quietly paved the way for their follow-up plans! Zuihou's sentence "all by holy judgment" is really the finishing touch, and it must be about Fulin's heart! Otherwise, the emperor could have made such a positive evaluation for the first time since today's meeting?
This ball is kicked back and forth, and the following is the household department, the industrial department and the military department. Because, they are more or less in charge of "military utensils" in different fields according to the division of labor!
Unexpectedly. After Tu Hai finished saying this long list. The main hall of the palace fell into silence, and even the whispers between the Manchurians were gone.
Hongyi was a little relieved in his heart, no matter how Manchen held together, how Hanchen protected himself. If so-called "departmental interests" are involved. Then no one can escape the theorem that "the ass determines the head"! Now the theme of the conference has entered the game of the specific organizers. There is no chaos and no one wants to express his position casually, lest he put a tight spell on himself.
The blessing on the throne is also very patient. I didn't mind the silence at this time, but leaned back slightly to change my comfortable position.
After another moment, Fu Lin coughed lightly as a reminder.
"The minion Bahana originally received the transfer department. At the beginning of the emperor's reign in the world, he set up a back treasury after the household subordinates to store silver, satin, tea, wax, copper, iron and other things. The Money Law Hall and the Baoquan Bureau under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs also mainly adopted silver and bronze to mint money for the use of the whole country. Lord Langqiu, I don't know if I'm right? Bahana acted as an "old-timer" of the household department and the criminal department, and came forward in time to resolve the embarrassment.
"What the scholar says is true!" The incumbent Hubu Manshang Shujue Luo Langqiu was named and responded helplessly, but fortunately, Jueluo Bahana did not mean to stop, but continued:
"As for the small country of Korea, it is indeed eager for the good horses, brocade, copper and iron of our Celestial Empire. In May of the 7th year of Shunzhi and May of the 11th year of Shunzhi, the slave was ordered to go to Korea twice, and what he saw and heard along the way is enough to prove it. ”
"Yes, the young master has made two envoys to North Korea, so he naturally understands clearly. You can tell all Aiqing in detail. Fu Lin was very satisfied that the ministers were starting to get to the point, and looked approvingly at Hongyi on the steps and Tuhai under the steps. Hongyi recommended Baha to be included in the meeting, and Tuhai led the meeting into the topic, both of which were meritorious ministers.
"Minion Command. Let's talk about horses first, the Korean horses are short, and although they have some stamina, they are suitable for the rugged mountains in the north of the country, and they are not good at horse warfare. Therefore, the DPRK has always secretly encouraged the people to enter our country and sell horses privately. Brocade was what he craved. North Korea only produces cotton and linen coarse cloth, and the people have never been expensive local products, and many expensive things, and must seek China's splendid silk satin. After the servants entered the court, they saw along the way, both officials and people, who were proud to be dressed in brocade. Copper and iron things, sharp weapons of soldiers, for the small country with poor mountains and bad waters, needless to say. Therefore, the slave thinks that the household department is indeed inseparable. "Bahana combined his own personal experience and spoke with facts, which hit the nail on the head.
"Good! You have to learn from Taifu's loyalty and goodness for the king's worries! When I first came to power, I was harsh on Bahanado, but although I remedied it later, Taifu has always been diligent and hardworking! What an example for the courtiers! Fu Lin used the method of "tree typical" to warn those courtiers who did not speak.
This Bahana is indeed a figure of ups and downs. He has the talent of a military general, and the nature of a direct minister, and he can only be a cadre - in the early Qing Dynasty, Bahana successively pacified Hebei, Shandong, Shanxi and other places, and crusaded against Zhang Xianzhong, Zunyi, Maozhou; In the fifth year of Shunzhi, he was awarded the book of the household department, and he was once partnered with Kadahun; After Fulin became in power, he once suggested that Shandong Linqing burn the city bricks and floor tiles for the Beijing division forever, which was approved by Fulin; In the first month of the eighth year, Fulin suddenly asked Bahana, "How much do you need for the silver?" What is the month of payment? How much is left in the Great Treasury? "Bahana is calm and unmistakable.
But there are unforeseen storms in the sky, and as the head of the household, he is responsible for allocating the salary of the Eight Banners. During the Regency of Dolgon, Bahana also had to commit himself to those in power. So, not long after the fall of Dolgon, in February of the eighth year of Shunzhi, someone reported: "The ministers of the household department are not paid equally. In the two white flag soldiers stationed in Cangzhou, they were paid endlessly; The soldiers of the two yellow flags stationed between the rivers were repeatedly refused. Therefore, in order to establish his majesty, Fulin quickly decided to do so, and dismissed Jueluo Bahana from his post and lost his family property.
Fortunately, the little emperor, who gradually learned about the many difficulties of the rulers, still had the courage to change his mistakes. A year later, the emperor decreed that his punishment of Bahana was too severe, and he reinstated his status as a "Jueluo" and appointed him as the secretary of the criminal department. Bahana also lived up to his holy hopes, and worked very energetically, and in May of the twelfth year of Shunzhi, as a young master and a scholar of the Criminal Department, he was added as a young master and a prince and a scholar of the Inner Hanlin Hongwen Academy.
"The slave is ashamed, and he never dares to accept the emperor's praise." When Bahana heard the emperor's praise, he had a higher profile.
"The slave must follow the Taifu, be loyal to the emperor, and do his best!" Finally, someone reacted and set off a small climax of learning from the good master and prince Taibao and Jueluo Bahana!
[1] Houku is the subordinate library of the household department, which was established in the early years of Shunzhi, and was named after "the library is subordinate to the household department", and the copper and iron and other materials involving military items are stored here.
