Chapter 297: Purge

(Xie: The monthly pass for the two brothers who are not hungry when they are full and the Star Festival; I sincerely ask you to read and subscribe to the genuine version, which is related to whether this book can go smoothly. Chapter 297

Kang Ning didn't give any special reason, just said lightly that he suddenly had no feelings for Song Nan, for such an explanation, Zhengde and Liu Jin and others naturally felt very far-fetched, but the princess's mood was obviously not good, Liu Jin asked a few more words, and was almost slapped by Kang Ning.

Zhengde can only give up, for the imperial sister's rebellion, Zhengde has no complaints, but is a little lucky: the imperial sister's temperament is so changeable, fortunately there is no edict to announce the matter, otherwise the imperial sister suddenly changed the hexagram, wouldn't it pit Song Nan and make Song Nan shameless?

Others are just going back, this is Song Nan, Zhengde doesn't want to embarrass Song Nan.

Song Nan started the appointment of Zhang Luo and the Guogong Mansion non-stop, Song Nan couldn't let this emotion affect him, and the princess could be called a bad fate from the beginning, and the instant conclusion may be the best result, although there is no apology and regret in his heart, but he can only go with the wind.

After several times of coordination, on the eighth day of the ninth month of September, the auspicious day of the zodiac, the Song government sent the dowry gift to the Guogong Mansion, attracting thousands of people in the market to watch.

After the recruitment ceremony, the matchmakers of both sides invited the wedding date, and the wedding date was set on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, so far the preparations before the wedding of the two parties have been roughly over, and the six ceremonies have been carried out five times, basically it can be said that the little county lord is already the wife of the Song family.

For the perfect solution of this matter, the British Duke Zhang Mao is still quite satisfied, although he doesn't know how Song Nan solved the princess and the emperor's side, but judging from the emperor's reaction, there is obviously nothing strange about it, on the contrary, after learning the news, the emperor also sent someone to reward the little county lord with some things, and gave the little county lord the title of Shuyi county lord.

Regarding Song Nan's marriage with the British Mansion, the court officials were a little surprised, not because of Song Nan's ability, but because of the speed of the British Mansion; Song Nan on the front foot had just been promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard and made him an earl, and Zhang Mao on the back foot took this person into his arms, which made many officials who had beautiful girls who planned to find an opportunity to get close to the Song Mansion and sighed and cursed.

Thinking of the British duke's attachment to Song Nan in the palace that day, everyone realized that Song Nan and the British duke had already had this relationship, and the British duke did not seem so abrupt when he came forward.

It's just that in the eyes of many people, Song Nan is just a Jinyi Guard, and he has become the commander of the Jinyi Guard by relying on his skills and some luck, and he is not the best candidate for the British government to marry in any case. The British public Zhang Mao's eyes are above the top, and he has never had a good evaluation of the people in Jinyi Weizhong, and he also pursues the code of conduct that does not violate both the well and the river, and suddenly married his granddaughter to Song Nan, which is somewhat surprising.

But in any case, Song Nan is no longer a person to be underestimated, he is already a celebrity around the emperor, holding the brocade guard yamen who is feared by everyone, and now he has become the son-in-law of the British government, which can be described as red and purple, and hot to the hand.

But fortunately, the outer court has also smelled the estrangement between Song Nan and the inner court, as long as Song Nan and the inner court do not walk on the same road, everything is still possible, and the cabinet is glad for this, and at the same time wants to actively use this.

Song Nan didn't care what the court thought, after the marriage contract with the Guogong Mansion was signed, Song Nan's entire focus shifted to the rectification of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, although the Jinyi Wei Yamen was in his own hands, but in the final analysis, this Yamen could not be as commanded by his arm, and the long-term accumulation of disadvantages was in his eyes.

Song Nan carried out a drastic purge of the Jinyi Wei Yamen, with a total of 21 thousands of households inside and outside Beijing, and more than 20,000 horsemen under his jurisdiction. A cursory investigation shows that more than 2,000 of them are hereditary gangsters, that is, these people are all masters of mixed salaries and money; In addition, Song Nan also knew that the eyes and ears of many other departments were mixed in Jinyiwei, such as the eyes and ears of Dongchang, not only the general office, but also in Beijing, and there must be many thousands of households in various places, how could Song Nan tolerate the existence of these people.

In mid-September, Song Nan issued an order to empty the vacant establishment, and thousands of Jinyi Wei officials who took money to hang their posts but did not do anything were laid off together. Many people came to greet and beg for help with various relationships and names, but Song Nan rejected them all; The matter was soon stabbed to Zhengde, but Zhengde said it first, and did not interfere with Song Nan's rectification of the Jinyi Guard's yamen, and even Liu Jin did not say a word.

After clearing the more than 2,000 vacancies, nearly 100,000 taels of silver can be saved every year in terms of expenditure, which can be used to make up for the normal deduction of the yamen, although it is slightly insufficient, but at least it is better than nothing.

More importantly, most of these vacancies are small official positions such as flag officials of hundreds of households, which is equivalent to giving a large number of brocade-clothed guards room for promotion, and the positive effect is far greater than the cost saved.

Immediately afterwards, for the internal purge of Jinyiwei, Song Nan sent 21 internal inspection teams to the capital and various yamen, and adopted two methods: open and non-public.

It is nothing more than two kinds of people, one is the Jinyi Guard personnel who are inefficient and people are floating in the matter, and the other is the eyes and ears who are mixed in the Jinyi Guard; The so-called public method is to post a self-inspection announcement of the general office within a time limit, stating that before September 30, all Jinyi Wei officials who have been at fault before must take the initiative to confess to the audit and inspection team, but those who take the initiative to confess will be punished with a serious case and a minor case, and they will not be blamed in the past; However, those who have passed the time limit will be dealt with severely and quickly once it is verified.

The non-public way is to let the people in each yamen secretly report, the report is verified, and the report is dealt with severely, and the person who reports is rewarded and promoted.

This was another bombshell that exploded in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, and for a while, the Jinyi Guards were panicked and in danger; The officials of the Jinyi Guard and Ti Qihe had suffered such a major earthquake, and soon someone took the lead in protesting, and found the yamen of the inner and outer courts to deliver all kinds of slanderous words against Song Nan, saying that Song Nan messed up the Jinyi Wei Yamen and fabricated charges indiscriminately, making people angry and resentful.

These things soon stabbed into Zhengde's ears through everyone's mouths, and Zhengde couldn't sit still, he was very puzzled by Song Nan's behavior, and it didn't seem to be beneficial for Song Nan to stabilize his foothold in Jinyi Wei Yamen.

Song Nan only gave a one-sentence answer after Zhengde asked about this: "If it is not broken, it will not stand, if the emperor believes in the minister, let the minister continue, all the accusations, I will explain it with evidence, if the minister is biased, the minister will naturally take the blame and resign." ”

Zhengde was helpless, he didn't blame Song Nan for rectifying the inside of the yamen, but he didn't want him to make such a big fanfare, so that everyone came to him to complain, seeing Song Nan's resolute attitude, Zhengde was out of sight and out of mind, and simply refused to reply to all the recitals about the internal rectification of Jinyiwei, as long as Song Nan chose the opportunity to give a concentrated answer to the questions of the ministers in the early court.

Song Nan naturally will not be ambiguous, he knows that the more pressure he is, the more it means that the Jinyi Wei Yamen needs to be rectified, since he holds the Jinyi Wei Yamen, he must operate it into an iron bucket, otherwise he will not have the capital to live strongly.

After two months of purging, a total of more than 1,600 people were disposed of and dismissed, and the case files in the special supervision of the general office and the Fusi of the north and south towns were piled up, and in an early morning in late October, Song Nan ordered people to pull all the files to the Fengtian Hall in a cart, and spent two hours to explain the personnel who were dealt with one by one, and in the face of strong and meticulous evidence, many people consciously closed their mouths.

In fact, everyone knows that the reason why Song Nan did this is to consolidate his position as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and every commander will come to such a hand when he takes office, but it is not as fierce as Song Nan, and it is not worth making a fuss.

Jinyi Wei Yamen has been established for nearly 100 years, and there are naturally a lot of shortcomings and disadvantages in such an old yamen, and the personnel are complicated. It's commonplace, but for some reason, it seems that Song Nan has attracted more attention this time, and there are always people who magnify and poke out the internal affairs of these brocade guards and yamen, making it seem like they are related to the overall situation of the imperial court, and it is obvious that someone is adding fuel to the fire.

Of course, it's hard to guess who it is; In fact, most officials did not pay attention to the matter of Song Nan's rectification of the yamen, and there was a more worthy focus in the DPRK and China, not to mention that the candidate for the establishment of the trilateral general system proposed at the last court meeting has now become a big focus, and this matter seems to be just a simple appointment, but in fact it has become the focus of the game between the inner and outer courts.

Song Nan naturally knew the importance of this matter, but his eyes were on the internal affairs of the Jinyi Guard's yamen; According to Song Nan's plan, after the Great Purge, it is necessary to re-straighten out the internal relations, promulgate various new regulations and measures, and recruit and expand the scale and strength of Jinyiwei, which are all things that need to be carried out step by step.

But although he didn't want to participate in the competition between the inner and outer courts for this trilateral general system, a conversation with her husband Zhang Mao made Song Nan have to set his eyes on this matter.
