Chapter 225

Song Nan privately thought that the princess was born in the deep palace, and I was afraid that there were not many men, and she was a little anxious; That day, he behaved frivolously and was quite provocative, perhaps because he had a good impression of himself. I was dizzy for a while and actually went to kiss the princess, I am afraid that this matter will leave a disaster.

Although he was favored by the princess and had a little satisfaction with his vanity, Song Nan clearly told himself: there must be no relationship with the princess.

Song Nan's current situation is not very satisfactory, since Shi Wenyi was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, the entire Jinyi Guard Yamen has fallen into Liu Jin's arms; Needless to say, Shi Wenyi was the one who Liu Jin single-handedly supported the throne of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Liu Jin was like the sky, so he naturally groveled and fought hotly.

Jin Yiwei's commander Hao Datong and his commander Lu Mantang were originally two submissive characters, but during Mu Bin's tenure as commander, they never entered the core of power, on the contrary, Xiao Lang and Sun Xuan, the two heads of the North and South Zhenfu Division, were the absolute core; In this case, Hao Datong and Lu Mantang naturally did not have any loyalty to Mu Bin, and after Mu Bin fell, they quickly changed their roles and became Shi Wenyi's intimate partners.

In the entire Jinyiwei Yamen, Song Nan and Sun Xuan's north and south Zhenfu Si Yamen and Jinyiwei commanded Shi Wenyi as if they had formed two factions, which also made Jinyiwei quickly divide and stand on the side, some people were willing to stand on the side of Song Nan and Sun Xuan, and more people chose Shi Wenyi's side, because it was obvious that Shi Wenyi had Liu Jin behind him.

This can't be attributed to human snobbery, knowing current affairs is one of the keys to officialdom, not to mention that the reason is also very crowned, Shi Wenyi is the leader of Jinyiwei, and it is understandable to obey his orders. Fortunately, Song Nan and Sun Xuan's Beinan Zhenfu Division also have five thousand households, and their strength should not be underestimated; In particular, Beizhen Fusi is an important place for edicts, and Song Nan has a good relationship with the emperor, many times, Song Nan can rely on the privileges of the edict to clamp down on important cases sent by Dongchang and other departments for trial, and even overturn the evidence and re-examine, in this case, it is possible to stabilize the situation.

But the more this is the case, the more Song Nan is in the minds of Liu Jin, Shi Wenyi and others, especially the cases of several important officials in Beijing where Liu Jin asked Shi Wenyi to say hello, Song Nan pushed back like a bull, and did not turn a big deal into a small one as Liu Jin greeted, which made Liu Jin angry and scolded.

In the Beizhen Fusi Yamen, Song Nan also made a series of transfers and appointments, the backbone of the Zhengnan Fang was successively transferred to the Beizhen Fusi Yamen, and hundreds of urban management officers were also converted into Jinyi Wei by Song Nan to become a formal establishment, regardless of whether these people are competent or not, Song Nan feels that what he wants at this moment is not a capable person, but a loyal and reliable person.

The thirteen Taibao of the Beizhen Fusi were originally Sun Xuan's subordinates, and Sun Xuan was transferred to the Nanzhen Fusi, which naturally took away many of the backbones, but Wan Zhi and Wang Yong, who followed Song Nan, have been following Song Nan, and Song Nan confirmed the loyalty of the two after several temptations, so he also used the two with confidence; But for Sun Xuan, Song Nan is still wary; Although this person is in the same boat as himself, judging from his betrayal of Mu Bin, Song Nan will never dare to talk to him.

Liu Jin wanted to say something bad about Song Nan in front of Zhengde several times, intentionally or unintentionally, but was reprimanded by Zhengde several times, Liu Jin also learned to be obedient, at least for now, Song Nan couldn't move, but Liu Jin was not willing to listen to the key departments in Jinyiwei.

Shi Wenyi is not scheming enough, he can only be a lackey, and fighting with Song Nan and Sun Xuan is by no means an opponent, in view of this, Liu Jin turned the spearhead to Sun Xuan, if he can win over and divide the alliance between Song Nan and Sun Xuan, and let Sun Xuan fall to himself or fall, Song Nan will be alone, and there will be no more power to fight.

On the ninth day of the first month of February, the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office of the Chongjiaofang under the jurisdiction of the Fusi of Nanzhen obtained an astonishing piece of information that Cui Xiu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was suspected of dereliction of duty and fraud, and used the position of the Ministry of Officials to grasp the convenience of official vacancies, and revealed the news to the alternate officials.

Sun Xuan had been silent for a long time, and when he got this clue, he naturally ordered to investigate it to the end, and soon, a major discovery was made. In the first month, the Ministry of Officials filled the vacancy in Yangzhou Salt Envoy and found clues.

The former Yangzhou salt envoy resigned after illness, a total of 18 eligible alternate officials, the list was reported to the Ministry of Officials, Xu Liang, a Shanyin person from the Ren, was considered the most suitable, this person had been a county official, and he had a good reputation for being honest and honest, and he was the most important choice in the salt affairs to make this fat shortage, ability and honesty are the most important choices.

According to the usual practice, all alternate officials are required to re-check their resumes by the ministry, and after some evaluation, they are reported to the ministry, and then the cabinet votes to draft the results, and the results are submitted to the emperor for approval.

However, just when everyone thought that Xu Liang would be able to obtain this official position, Ma Guotai, another unknown person, was prominently appointed as the Yangzhou salt envoy by the foreign army, which surprised everyone.

When investigating the file, it was found that in the file submitted to Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry, Ma Guotai's resume was clear and clear, without a single negative word, while others listed various faults, and Xu Liang, who was the most vocal, had an extra sentence on the file: 'It is reported that Xu Liang's father went in and out of Qinglou Flower Lane during his filial piety, and his character seems to be unbearable'.

It is this specious resume comment that is enough to ruin the dream of Xu Liang's Yangzhou salt envoy, and at the moment of paying attention to loyalty and filial piety, who dares to look for flowers and ask willows during his father's filial piety, it is undoubtedly not tolerated by the world, let alone any promotion.

Although Xu Liang didn't know what was written in Kaoyu, he immediately suspected that someone had done something wrong with his promotion, so he revealed the news to the Chongjiaofang Jinyi Wei Thousand Households. The case was quickly investigated, and the evaluation of Xu Liang was nonsense, and the people involved in this case included Cui Xiu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, several officials who were selected and several small officials who were the main writers, but fortunately, it was not found that Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, was involved in this. Ma Wensheng naturally circled the candidates according to the text on his resume, and for the unprovoked character of the people who looked for flowers and willows during his father's filial piety, Ma Wensheng naturally made a big fork, but there was nothing out of line.

The case soon became an iron case, because the stakes were important and involved the official from Sanpin, Zhengde ordered the evidence to be transferred to the Beizhen Fusi for trial, and the people involved were convicted together.

But what is surprising is that when the case was transferred to the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, the case suddenly took a sharp turn, and several officials involved all denied the crime, and said that someone had framed him, and Jinyiwei indiscriminately framed good people, and accused Jinyiwei of being sloppy in handling the case and discrediting people; All kinds of powerful evidence have been thrown, and the spearhead actually pointed to the design of Sun Xuan, the Fusi of Nanzhen, to frame the officials of the Ministry of Officials, and wanted to avenge his personal grievances.

Now it was lively, the accuser was accused, and the evidence obtained by Sun Xuan was verified as false evidence one by one, on the contrary, it was revealed that Sun Xuan had asked to hire the daughter of Cui Xiu, a servant of the Ministry of Officials, but was refused, and had threatened to refuse to give up, and the whole case immediately changed its taste, as if Sun Xuan deliberately made false evidence to frame Cui Xiu in revenge for Cui Xiu.

Sun Xuan was still indifferent, and it was common for the prisoner to bite back, but with the retraction and overturning of the witness's testimony, when the public opinion in the court was boiling, he was shocked to realize that the matter was far from being as simple as he thought, and at this time, Sun Xuan couldn't sit still, and hurriedly came to Song Nan to discuss countermeasures.

Song Nan didn't care about it at the beginning, in a case like this, Beizhen Fusi had to deal with two or three cases a month, and dozens of cases a year, all of which were handled by his subordinates, so Song Nan didn't bother to ask in person, but with the escalation and deterioration of the situation, Song Nan smelled a hint of conspiracy, so he carefully investigated the causes and consequences of the case, trying to find out what was unusual.

In the public house of Fusi in Beizhen, facing the panicked Sun Xuan, Song Nan had to say something that made Sun Xuan tremble: "Lord Sun, you have fallen into the trap, I have studied this case for two days, and finally came to the conclusion that someone is targeting you." ”

Sun Xuan was shocked: "I, Sun Xuan, have no quarrel with others, who would treat me like this?" ”

Song Nan sighed and said, "As a person in Jinyi Weizhong, how can you be free from fighting with others?" As for who would do this to you, you and I know very well, but we don't have to name names. ”

Sun Xuan scolded angrily: "It must be Liu Jin, this gelding, it must be because I don't give you a color and want to frame me, I am innocent, but I am not afraid." ”

Song Nan said: "If you are not afraid, you must be afraid, the evidence obtained by Jinyiwei has been overturned, although it is rumored that you have taken revenge on Cui Xiu privately, it is not enough to make people believe it, but you are not strict in the verification of important cases, and you have violated the reputation of important officials in the ministry, and I am afraid that a punishment who is confused and incompetent will not be able to escape." ”

Sun Xuan changed color and scolded: "The old man understands, Liu Jin just wants me Sun Xuan to leave, some time ago, Shi Wenyi invited me to the banquet, Liu Jin suddenly came halfway, he hinted that I fell to him, and I was verbally refused; Gelding dog, this is a salute before a soldier, this mad dog, angry with me. ”

Song Nan was shocked, it turned out that Liu Jin had already been acting in secret, and he didn't know if there were already people in the Fusi Yamen and the thousands of households under his jurisdiction in Beizhen who had been co-opted by him, and it seemed that he had to take more precautions.

"Lord Song, you want to save me, I can't clarify this matter myself, my brain is like a paste now, and I can't figure it out, I beg Lord Song to return my innocence and find out the truth."

Song Nan said: "That's natural, of course I can't let you be framed, you and I are already in the same boat in Jinyiwei, how can I sit idly by." ”

Sun Xuan was moved to almost tears, he still has confidence in Song Nan, although he is not very old, his strength is definitely above himself, not to mention that he still has the trust of Zhengde, Liu Jin did what he did to himself, it stands to reason that he should be more difficult to bring down after decades of operation, his first choice should be Song Nan, but he is helpless against Song Nan, to a large extent, it may be the emperor's support.

If it is said that it is because Song Nan has helped Liu Jin a few times that Liu Jin will be grateful, it is simply a big joke, and Liu Jin will be grateful? It's pretty much the same when a sow goes up a tree.
