Chapter 14 The First Mission Jiayu Village of the Red Chamber 13
Although these families claim to be related to the country, but the family has not had a pillar for a long time, and sooner or later it will be smoothed out by one storm after another, making way for generations of newcomers, which is almost inevitable. The Ze of the gentleman, the fifth generation and beheaded, under the current system of descending to the rank of the eldest and the lord, is not a joke.
The biggest problem faced by all noble families is that there is no successor, children and grandchildren compete for family property, extravagance and extravagance, and they cannot make ends meet, in short, it is a problem of money.
No matter how big the foundation is, it can't withstand the unworthy descendants, three or five times of partitioning, the profligacy of the profligacy of the loser, weddings and funerals, and New Year's ceremonies and rituals all ask for money. Marquis, when the Earl's house arrives for the New Year, it is not uncommon to rely on loans to support the scene, not to mention those noble sons who do not have titles.
How many of the bullies in the capital are all done by these prodigals. If you don't have a proper livelihood, and you lose all the family property you have gained from the separation, and you can't make up for what you lack, what are you doing? I had to fly eagles and lackeys to do things.
Shuntian Mansion Yin can't control it at all, whoever is arrested will be released after two days, and there is no lord behind him. One of the responsibilities of the imperial historians is to go to the folds all day long, and show who connived at the clansmen to oppress the good people and so on.
This is an important source of the workload of the imperial history, and the excerpt is the workload, and no one reads this excerpt, and no one really takes it seriously, which has become a routine.
Lu Renbing's job is to preliminarily review the excerpts of the imperial histories of each province, and then submit them to the officials for review. Lu Renbing also has his own specific province and province. In this province, all the cases that occurred in the province were reviewed and tried by Lu Renbing, and Lu Renbing was also responsible for any problems.
Therefore, the work is still very busy, and most of the cases targeted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate are aimed at officials, and there are not many who directly connect with the people, so it is also a very offensive business.
The importance of this power cannot be overstated. In addition to the daily audit, Lu Renbing also has his own work requirements, he wants to establish authority, and he must have several local governors in his hands in order to be famous in the world. Taking the head of the prefect and the county to sacrifice the flag will not work at all.
But overthrowing the local governor is a serious national policy, and it is not something that he can easily initiate as a royal historian. There must be a big event, the emperor and the bigwigs have a request, and they can raise the butcher's knife.
But it's not that there is no room for manipulation, you have to be able to grasp the general trend, know what the bigwigs want, which governors are angry, at this time you pick a head, and you will make a contribution in one fell swoop!
Is there such a person in the current officialdom? Of course, there is, and it is what Lu Renbing wants to do the most. It is Wan Lairong, the governor of Liangguang, who has served as the prefect of the county, the prefect, the political history, the governor, and the governor in Liangguang. For decades, he has not been out of other provinces, and he is deeply rooted in Liangguang, and he is a veritable emperor of the soil.
What's worse is that this old guy regards Liangguang as his own forbidden body, and does not allow others to interfere, and the governors, envoys and other officials sent in previous years, as long as they are not on good terms with him, will always die of illness or have various accidents after a year or two.
But this old guy has thrown away the responsibility.
Wan Laorong also supported the first prince at first, and then the first prince fell, he felt that his path to progress was blocked, it was better to be his own king of Liangguang, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he is still guarding the forefront of foreign trade, don't be too carefree. Therefore, he no longer took refuge in the forces of Kyori.
Wan Lairong bought pirates according to reason, controlled the sea routes, and then controlled the land and water forces of Liangguang, connived at the Tusi rebellion in Annam, Laomian and other places, and constantly controlled the localities.
The income of the Thirteen Lines was compressed, and the foreign trade in the southeast sea was monopolized, and I don't know how many people's financial routes were cut off, and the cake of the imperial court was moved. A few years later, the South China Sea Rebellion led to the defeat of the king of Nan'an County, and the war of Tanchun Yuan's marriage was also inseparable from this old guy.
It couldn't be more appropriate to cut him. However, Wan Laorong did things very cleanly, and for the imperial court, what he did on the surface was also deferential and commendable. The imperial court wanted to transfer him to Beijing, and he also set off immediately, and when he was halfway there, there would be turmoil in southern Xinjiang, Fanbang disturbed the border, the sergeants mutinied, and the local bullets could not be suppressed. There were wars on all sides of the imperial court, and the capital was not stable, and the finances were tight, so they really didn't dare to let the southeast tax land erode. Therefore, he can only let Wan Lairong go back to supervise the place.
This happened a few times, and the court and Wan Lairong each had a tacit understanding. Wan Laorong relaxed his suppression of the Thirteen Elements, and the imperial court acquiesced to his status as the emperor of the soil.
But the fear of both sides is increasing day by day. Just wait for an opportunity, it will set off stormy waves, wars together, and lives will be ruined, which is not an uncommon thing.
Bringing down Wan Laorong will be of great benefit to all parties, and Lu Renbing can also take the opportunity to earn a wave of merit. Besides, Wan Laorong also blocked Lu Renbing and Zhen Yingjia's plans to make a fortune, and also blocked the emperor's plans to make a fortune. What the emperor lacks now is money, and if he doesn't look at him, he will have no face, so he will let the concubine go home to save his relatives and come to loot the money of his in-laws?
If you get Wan Lai Rong, you can get thousands of millions of silver. This matter cannot be openly discussed in the court. It can only be a secret conversation with the emperor.
Fortunately, he has the power to face the saint, but he needs to pass the fold and line up. Lu Renbing can't do this alone, and Zhen Yingjia's full help is indispensable, but Zhen Yingjia is unwilling to meet the emperor, so he is only willing to assist from the side.
Lu Renbing did not force him.
Half a month later, Lu Renbing was summoned by the emperor. After meeting the emperor, Lu Renbing didn't get much opportunity to speak, but fortunately, he had anticipated the situation, handed over the excerpt with a detailed plan written earlier, and stepped aside, waiting for the emperor's orders.
Lu Renbing's method was actually very rude, because most of the troops in the Liangguang region were controlled by Wan Lairong, especially the naval army, and the garrison and village soldiers in the cities on land had limited combat effectiveness and scattered forces. Now is a peaceful and prosperous era, and no one really wants to follow others to rebel. Therefore, as long as you start quickly, replace the generals who are dependent on Wan Laorong in various places, and then smash Huanglong and take down Wan Laorong, within a few months, you can eliminate the poison. In this era, the means of communication are scarce. It is possible that all places have been controlled, and the news has not yet reached Wan Lairong's ears.
Now Wan Laorong is defenseless, and the court is fast and slow, and it is not too easy to surprise the killer. No matter how powerful Wan Lairong is, he is just a civil official in a peaceful and prosperous world, and if he cuts off his wings, he has no other way but to bow down and wait to be killed.
It's not that no one thought of this method, it's just that someone needs to risk losing their heads to go to Liangguang. If the news leaks slightly, the consequences are unimaginable.
The emperor took the fold and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, but he couldn't make a decision.
"Jia Hua, you are the Jinshi of Enke when I ascended the throne, and I am my protégé, can I trust you?"
"Your Majesty, the minister's family was poor when he was young, but the family strictly urged the minister to study diligently, so as to serve the Son of Heaven and leave a name in history. The minister was gifted by His Majesty to be the emperor, and he had already promised to be a country, and he was originally going to the soup for His Majesty! ”
"Good! I believe you, your excerpt is very important, and I don't have anyone else to use, would you like to take a trip for me yourself? This person has been a eunuch for a long time, and he has many entanglements with various prefectures in Beijing, if he leaks a trace of news, I can't guarantee you! ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers must be careful to keep everything safe!"
"Then I'll wait for Qing's good news! Just do what you planned! I have given you secret decrees and decrees! ”
Neither of them mentioned Wan Lairong's name, and the fold was not filed, and it did not pass through the hands of a third person.
