1200: It's so hard to be a good person
The four of them sat together, and the situation was really weird.
Liu Songjin was a close minister of His Majesty, and before he was imprisoned, he had always been loyal to the monarch and never wavered. But now, he can already sit with the king of Chu and drink tea.
Ji Wei sat on the phase at the beginning, of course, because he was outstanding enough, but there were many outstanding people, and the phase fell on his head, and the king of Chu really made a great effort.
Ji Wei looked at Liu Songjin and said with a smile: "Since Lord Liu also knows about this, I don't know what to do?" ”
Liu Song smiled lightly when he heard this, "Why do you need to test Ji Xiang with words, since the subordinates are sitting here, they are naturally sincere." ”
"What is sincerity?" Ji Wei asked again.
In the face of Ji Wei's aggressiveness, Liu Songjin was not annoyed, and said slowly: "The subordinates of the household check the officials in various places, and there are tens of thousands of officials of all sizes, and they can't be checked by everyone. So it's very particular about who to check here.,I don't know anything and ask Ji Xiang for advice.。 ”
"Lord Liu, please speak."
"Although the investigation official was proposed by the household department, but the actor was the ministry, in the final analysis, who first raised this matter?" Liu Songjin asked.
The king of Chu listened to Ji Wei and Liu Songjin's back and forth, and the two fought on a par.
Ji Wei raised his eyes and looked at Liu Songjin, "Lord Liu knows it, so why bother asking." ”
"So, what is Yoshi-sang worried about?" Liu Song rebelled against the first army.
If you are worried, you must know that something is wrong, and since you know that it is wrong, you must have something to do with Ji Xiang.
Ji Wei: ......
I almost fell into the pit.
Seeing that Ji Wei's expression was not very good, the King of Chu looked at Liu Songjin and smiled, "Lord Liu has a good plan?" ”
"Nope."
King of Chu: ......
Xiao Jiuqi was immediately happy, "Fourth brother, I told you a long time ago that his mouth is so tight that he refuses to admit defeat." ”
Liu Songjin didn't care about King Jin's lack of talking, took a sip of tea, and then continued his previous words and said: "Qi Shangshu proposed to investigate the shortage of money and grain, and treat the river for disaster relief, which must have been too much money spent in these two places in the past few years. Once the money is spent, it will have to be figured out. Qi Shangshu has been in charge of the household department for many years, and this person has always been careful in his calculations, a person who hates to break the copper plate into two halves. I think it's because the wars in the south and west of Linguan have started one after another, so he has no time and opportunity to catch the moths, and now the world is peaceful, the people are happy, and Qi Shangshu wants to settle old accounts. ”
In the land of the two rivers, there are many river floods, and there are many droughts in the northwest, so Qi Yue wants to move the officials in these two places.
This move will hurt the muscles and bones.
Ji Wei pursed his lips and looked at King Chu, "Lord Wang, do you want to stop this matter?" ”
Xiao Jiuqi listened to Liu Song's tight words and came back to his senses, and when he heard Ji Wei ask, he was immediately annoyed, "What to stop, the silver of the imperial court for disaster relief dares to reach out, this group of bastards can only relieve the hatred in their hearts by catching one and killing the other!" ”
Ji Wei: ......
Liu Song lowered his head and drank tea.
Hearing this, King Chu glanced at his younger brother, "Xiao Jiu, you must know that when the court goes down to the net, it is not only the people who have King Wu who have come up, but also the people who have taken refuge in me. ”
"I don't care who he is, fourth brother, you have always thought about the people, even if such a dog official has taken refuge in you, since he dares to do this, he cannot be tolerated." Xiao Jiuqi was rarely so angry.
As an official outside, it is normal for people to make a little fuss during their term of office, but the silver for disaster relief is related to the lives of the people.
If such an official does not dispose of him, what is he doing with him?
Do you want to keep making money?
Ji Wei obviously disagreed, looked at King Jin and said: "Lord Wang, now is not the time to be rash, the foundation of Prince Chu in the court has just stabilized, if he cuts off his arm at this time, it is tantamount to cheapening King Wu." ”
"What you said is not right, as far as King Wu is virtuous, all stinky fish and rotten shrimp will be drawn to his side, and there can be any good people like that. If this net goes down, even if the fourth brother has a loss, then the designation? King Wu lost even more. Xiao Jiuqi was unhappy, and glared at Ji Wei with squinted eyes, "I said that you don't have any relatives or received someone's money to mess around here." I'm telling you, I can't be good if I know this. ”
Ji Wei: ......
Heartache!
Who is he doing this for?
It's not for the good of King Chu!
Now every official supported by the King of Chu is very important, and King Jin really doesn't understand anything, so he is blindly commanding here!
As the saying goes, being an official for thousands of miles is for food and clothing.
Not in order to make some money so that the family can live well, who is willing to study hard for ten years to test for fame.
It's just that Ji Wei also knows what to do with this money, and the disaster relief money is indeed excessive, and it is indeed intolerable.
It's just that now King Wu and King Chu happen to be in a state of balance, and once this state is broken, it will be life and death.
King Jin doesn't understand anything, he's really angry!
The game in the court is not a child's game.
King Chu looked at Ji Wei and said with a smile: "Ji Xiang thinks about this king, which really touches me. It's just that it's about the people of the world, and we can't ignore the black sheep because of the dispute between me and King Wu. If my father orders a strict investigation of this matter, I hope that Ji Xiang can cooperate with the household officials to investigate thoroughly. ”
Ji Wei felt that the prince was crazy, but when he thought that he had taken refuge in the King of Chu at the beginning, he also took a fancy to the King of Chu's generosity, and sighed in his heart.
I don't know if I only know how to weigh gains and losses after sitting in a high position for a long time, or if the king of Chu has not changed as he did at the beginning.
"The prince ordered, and Weichen did it." What else can Ji Wei do?
Liu Songjin put down the tea cup in his hand, took out a list from his sleeve, put it on the table with one hand, looked at Ji Wei and said with a smile: "This is the list of officials and their families who have entered and exited Beijing from Liangjiang and Northwest in the past five years. ”
Ji Wei was overjoyed, "Lord Liu is thoughtful, this is really useful." ”
Xiguan Mansion is the mouthpiece of Shangjing, and it is necessary to make records when entering and leaving this pass, but these case books in Xiguan Mansion are not available to ordinary people.
Therefore, this list is too valuable, and the scope of personnel will be narrowed down all of a sudden, which will help the prince of Chu to draw a circle and strike accurately.
King Chu was also surprised, and said to Liu Song: "Thank you, Lord Liu." ”
Liu Songjin shook his head, "If it weren't for the prince's previous words, the lower officials would not have come up with a list." The prince's righteousness is in front, and the lower officials are very impressed. Moreover, this is also the lower official's gratitude to the prince for saving you last year, and the last moth of the country must be eliminated, this is the duty of the lower official. ”
Ji Wei: ......
I always feel that there are four people in a room, just like he is a villain, bald!
It's really hard to be a pure minister who dares to give direct advice!
Ji Wei walked away with the list with a vicissitudes of life, and the officials recorded on this list had to be carefully screened and distinguished from friend and foe.
