The Xu family made a fuss here, and the news spread quickly, but unfortunately after all, the wife gave birth to a child, and it was not as exciting as chicken blood, but Wang Ao's rectification of the rule of officials has always become the focus of public opinion.

Since the beginning of Hongzhi, the rule of officials in the Ming Dynasty has become increasingly corrupt. Emperor Hongzhi is a good emperor, not only diligent, but also good to ministers, and because of this, a lot of problems have arisen, it is precisely because Hongzhi has always adhered to the concept of punishment not doctors, so that many officials are greedy and blatant, anyway, even if it is exposed, the big deal is to lose the official, and there are very few heavy punishments, and in the Zhengde period, the corruption of officials has reached a peak, because Zhu Houzhao is really a bit of a good brother, his criteria for judging people are also different from ordinary people, in his eyes, officials are not greedy, Or whether they neglect their duties or not is not the criterion for distinguishing good and bad officials, so the princes of the Manchu Dynasty are even more presumptuous.

Now the Jiajing Dynasty suddenly set off a storm, in this storm, Wang Ao is undoubtedly the most dazzling figure, a large number of officials fell off the horse, naturally caused many people to applaud, there are ghosts in their hearts do not dare to speak up, in addition to the fear, there is no courage to jump out to fight back, and a large number of clear streams of strong support, so that Wang Ao's limelight is unparalleled for a while, and it seems to faintly overshadow Yang Tinghe.

Wang Ao has undoubtedly become a new hero, when it comes to Wang Ao, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Lord Qingtian, obviously this Qingtian is much more reliable than the so-called Qingtian created before, because people are really powerful, in fact, they have also done many cases, and the achievements are remarkable, which is a real achievement. You can see and touch it.

On the side of the household department, a few more fell off the horse a few days ago. One of them actually involved the right waiter, and the right waiter was already a high-ranking official. There are few in the entire imperial court, and a right servant was brought out at once, and there was a mourning up and down the household, and almost no one in this household department had the heart to work, even if it was the entry and exit of some treasury silver, almost all of them were nodded by Wang Ao.

Mao Ji's life is naturally getting more and more difficult, he is becoming more and more restless, and he becomes a little moody, and he clearly feels it. Wang Ao not only used the authority of the officials to establish his authority, but also used this to integrate the entire ministry, and even used this to put his hand into the household department to control the household department.

Now the people in the household department have long stopped looking at Mao Ji, what if you are a bachelor, what if you are a scholar? Now the master, who can control everyone's life and death, there is only one Wang Bachelor, and only one Wang Shilang. Mao Ji...... Haven't heard of it.

Mao Ji knows that if this continues, unless he is willing to be a puppet, if not, sooner or later. He's going to be finished.

After all, the officialdom has been mixed for so long, and there is no less things that should not be taken, and no less things that should not be taken. Although he is a cabinet bachelor, who can guarantee whether this old man Wang will have a whim. Suddenly found his Mao Ji's head.

After all, Mao Ji's foundation is unstable, unlike Yang Tinghe. The tree is large and has deep roots.

And although Yang Tinghe has had a good relationship with him recently, Yang Tinghe seems to have the intention of being a latecomer, and being a latecomer means that anything can be used as a bargaining chip, and even a strong man can break his wrist at any time, Mao Ji faintly feels that he will become an outcast.

This feeling became stronger and stronger, making it difficult for Mao Ji to sleep.

However, to Mao Ji's relief, finally came to the news, in the middle of the night of this day, at the third watch, a brocade guard hundred households visited late at night, Mao Ji cheered up and came out to meet, the two sat down, and did not say anything, this hundred households said: "On the orders of adults, there is really some news, this is one of them: Zhang Heling brothers, they fought for land with people because of the grange last year, and they made a lot of trouble, colluded with the prefect of Tongzhou, and skillfully seized more than 700 acres of fertile land from the surname Zhang. ”

This news did not surprise Mao Ji, the Zhang brothers were arrogant, and now they are a little more restrained, and during the Zhengde period, this kind of thing was countless.

But...... Mao Ji shook his head, looking uninterested, because he wanted to make a fuss about this thing, it was too petty, after all, it was only seven hundred acres, which was not much. Besides, this matter must be done by the subordinates of the Zhang Mansion, and it will not be directly related to the Zhang family brothers, the Zhang family brothers are a big deal if the strong man breaks his wrist, and he can still get out.

Mao Jidao: "What else? ”

These hundred households said: "There is also the Lu family, Lu Song, the Jinyi Wei of the Lu family, who was greedy for a lot of money when he was in office, and some of it can find evidence." ”

"Lu Song......" Mao Ji still shook his head, although this person is quite favored by His Majesty and is also one of the backbones of the Lu family, but after all, he is not the most core figure, even if he can punish the crime, but he can't achieve the purpose of destroying the Lu family, and even attracting the Son of Heaven to protect it.

"There is also a strange amount of money on the side of the Road Administration, although it is all spent in the name of allocating the Royal Academy, but it does not seem to be used for the Royal Academy. But when he looked closely, he always had no eyebrows. ”

Hearing this, Mao Ji suddenly became excited, and hurriedly said: "How much is this silver?" ”

Baihu said: "A total of three times, the first time was 80,000, the second time was 30,000, and the third time was 60,000. ”

Mao Ji was dumbfounded, the expenditure of the three times is 170,000 taels, which is definitely a huge amount of money in the Ming Dynasty, at least in the eyes of the imperial court, this amount is enough to shock the world, and now the expenditure of the treasury is only a few million, and the proportion of 170,000 is quite a lot.

Mao Ji frowned and said, "Is there a problem with the other expenses of the Royal Academy?" ”

Baihu shook his head and said: "There is no problem, one qiē is as usual, although the cost is not small, but there are details." ”

Mao Ji said excitedly: "This 170,000 taels of silver is the key, and I really can't find out at all?" Where did it go, where did it go, and there was no news at all? ”

Baihu said: "I don't dare to investigate deeply, for fear of arousing the suspicion of others, and it is a fluke to be able to find out here." ”

Mao Ji hesitated at this time, and muttered: "If you are given some more time, can you find out more things?" ”

Baihu smiled bitterly: "It's not difficult to find out something, but I'm afraid of startling the snake, don't forget it, the road administration bureau is also a brocade guard, if you call people down, the other party will definitely be able to know, once you alarm them, you're afraid that you'll be unlucky." ”

Mao Ji's face softened, and said, "Okay, this matter is thanks to you, you go back first, if there is anything else, the old man will naturally order you." ”

Baihu stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Humble farewell." ”

After sending away a hundred households, Mao Ji was still sitting in this hall, the whole person looked moody, of course he had a hunch that this was a big case, and the Xu family father and son were very likely to spend such a sum of money in the name of the Royal Academy, or they were embezzling it privately, or they were plotting something.

But the question is, should I do it immediately? Or will we see?

He couldn't make up his mind for a while, sighed for a long time, and went to sleep.

The next day to the cabinet, just sat down, came the news from the Ministry of Households, last night another director was taken by the Ministry of Officials, more importantly, this person is his person, when Jiang Mian was in the Ministry of Households, Mao Ji relied on this person to infiltrate the Ministry of Households.

This person knows a lot of things, although they are all small things, but if someone really wants to make a fuss about this, there will be a lot of trouble.

Things have become more and more tricky, Mao Ji's face was gloomy, and then he smiled and hurriedly went to meet Yang Tinghe.

"Yang Gong, what does Wang Ao mean? He inevitably deceived people too much, what did the principal commit in the end, why didn't he tell him in advance, and said that he would take it? ”

Yang Tinghe looked careless, and said with a smile: "Weizhi, if you have something to say, what are you doing with such a big fire?" When this matter is concerned, the old man will go to the ministry to ask, if there is a greedy act, it will be fine, if it is taken at will, the old man will not give up lightly. ”

Mao Ji sighed and said: "Yang Gong, now some facts are too unpleasant, if this continues, the household will be chaotic, it will not be beneficial to the imperial court, and the rule of officials is important, but the affairs of the world are not only the rule of officials, now the people are panicking, there are disasters outside, and there are military affairs in the south of the Yangtze River, all of which are urgent. ”

Yang Tinghe said slowly: "Your Majesty is what it means, and the prince is resolute, so what can I do?" ”

A person like Yang Tinghe would not say such a thing lightly, but today, he said it with a smile, looking at Mao Ji with a smile, and a pair of eyes seemed to understand Mao Ji's heart.

Mao Ji gritted his teeth and said, "It's not a secret, the lower officials heard something." ”

Yang Tinghe said after a while: "Say it." There's nothing to shy away from between you and the old man. ”

Mao Ji hurriedly told him about the Road Administration Bureau, and finally said: "Yang Gong, this is 170,000 taels of silver, the money has been spent, but there is no place to go, besides, what is the Royal Academy used for so much silver?" The weekday expenses of the school have come out, and they have spent hundreds of thousands, where did the 170,000 taels of silver go? Isn't it a purge now? There is such a sensational thing under our noses, why didn't Mr. Wang investigate? If the household department is really a traitor, then the investigation will come to light, and I have nothing to say, but only the Ministry of Officials does not check the road administration bureau, so favoritism, this is difficult to convince the public, I mean, Bachelor Wang should immediately and thoroughly investigate the Royal Academy and the Road Administration Bureau, such a large amount of money is not a joke. ”
