Daming does have a set of processes for promoting officials.

And this process ...... In a sense, it is closely related to the cabinet and the ministry.

It is indeed very easy for a person like Li Guo to install a large number of henchmen.

The reason is simple, because he is a cabinet scholar.

He can be good at dancing with long sleeves, as long as he is willing to give up his old face, not to mention anything else, the officials are eager to sell him this little favor.

This is actually understandable, if there are cabinet scholars who want to do something by themselves, the first thought of most people is not whether they can do it or not, but thinking, Li Gong actually looks up to me like this?

In this way...... This little thing will come naturally.

This made Zhang Jingyi more and more vigilant.

At this time, he stared at Li Guodao deadly: "These silvers, are they buying officials?" ”

Li Guo said truthfully: "Mostly." ”

Zhang Jingyi continued to ask: "How many people are there, and which ones are involved?" ”

"I can't remember." Li Guodao: "Every year, I send some slips, and everyone has them in them, but they are all petty officials, some jinshi, and many lifters...... The old man won't care. ”

This is said in the past.

After all, how can petty officials such as prefects and prefectures and counties, or petty officials such as Tongzhi and county officials, and dignified scholars, pay attention?

The highest level is nothing more than a political envoy.

"What about the military attaché?"

"There are also quite a few military attachés."

"Are they all thousands of local households?"

"Yes, they are all the guards in Jiangnan."

Zhang Jing said: "Seven million taels of silver, how many people have been placed?" ”

"I have forgotten ......" Li Guodao: "At least hundreds, or even more, in fact, this is a small matter, and it is really not worth mentioning." ”

Zhang Jingyi obviously had a different opinion, and sneered: "A little thing, these little Wei commanders, thousands of households, prefects, and counties are not worth mentioning in your eyes, but at the local level, they are local parents, who control the civil and military affairs of one party." It's a shame that you old dog is still proud of himself! ”

Li Guo said: "If I don't recommend it, I will inevitably recommend it from others." ”

Zhang Jingyi looked at him sarcastically and said, "That's different, why do you have to defend yourself now?" There is a man who has sent you such a large sum of silver, and has installed so many magistrates, and these people ...... But they are still scattered in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, what are their thoughts, do you not understand? ”

"If one person buys an official, it is only the people of one side who are harmed, but these people are so rampant, what are they going to do? Don't you know in your heart? ”

Regarding this question, Li Guo hung his head and was silent.

Zhang Jingyi continued to ask: "In addition, what are the characteristics of those people?" ”

"No features." Li Guodao: "It's just a scholar who is responsible for this matter, but this scholar is only a pseudonym, and the old man only needs to see the money." Even...... Even ......"

"Or even what?"

"Even doing so, there are benefits." Li Guo smiled bitterly: "If you do this, at least the old man doesn't know their details, but he is at ease, this kind of thing...... As long as you see real money, why don't you care who they are? ”

"It is precisely because of this that Jinyiwei has been checking for so many days, and he has no clue!" Zhang Jingyi said unceremoniously: "I see! From now on, you will give me a good idea of all the people you can remember, what the people who come into contact with you are like, what their accents are, and all the officials you remember who were placed in Jiangnan. ”

When he said this, Zhang Jingyi's face was a little angry, and there was coldness.

Immediately, Zhang Jingyi hurried out of the interrogation room.

Outside the interrogation room, Deng Jian was waiting here.

Seeing Zhang Jingyi, he said with a smile: "Why should the governor be so angry, interrogating people and criminals, it's not worth it to be so angry and ruined." ”

Zhang Jingyi's face softened slightly: "This is not necessarily, I don't know if I don't try it, but I don't know it until the first trial...... Something big may happen to Jiangnan. ”

Zhang Jingyi's eyes were worried.

Deng Jian asked, "Why is that?" ”

"I can't say it for a while, the harm of this Li Guo is far beyond my imagination." Zhang Jingyi said with a little solemnity: "Later, I need to go to the palace to see the driver, by the way, second brother......"

As soon as he heard Zhang Jing call him the second brother, Deng Jian felt a little cold in his heart.

No, no, it's something about life and death!

He stubbornly said: "What's the matter, you just say it, don't beat around the bush." ”

Zhang Jingyi's face finally showed a little smile, and said, "I care about your marriage, and Your Majesty cares about it too, but it's just ...... It's inconvenient to make decisions for you, so I want to ask what you mean. ”

When Deng Jian heard this, he immediately cheered up: "This ...... It's hard to say, I need to inquire first. ”

"That's very good." Zhang Jing smiled and said: "In a few days, I will play again, and now the situation is a little urgent, so I will leave first." ”

With that, Zhang Jingyi walked out and hurriedly entered the palace.

At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse and Wei Zhongxian were practicing in the West Garden.

There was a loud sound in the distance, and the birds in the forest garden were frightened and fluttered their wings.

At this time, seeing Zhang Jing coming, the Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled: "This newly sent short gun is slightly better than before, but it is also very limited, and it still needs to be polished well...... I'll write you some things that need to be improved later. ”

Zhang Jing nodded and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"It's the skilled craftsmen who work hard." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said sincerely: "It is very rare to be able to change to such a point. ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Your Majesty can be so sympathetic to these craftsmen, if the craftsmen know, I don't know how grateful they should be!" ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse automatically filtered these words, and then looked at Zhang Jingyi: "Zhang Qing, why don't you speak?" ”

As soon as Zhang Jingyi reported the results of the preliminary interrogation.

Wei Zhongxian was suddenly furious and said, "That Zhou Yingqiu...... It's really a crime that deserves death, and he actually made peace with Li Guo. ”

What do you say...... It seems that Li Guo is not Wei Zhongxian's person.

This week Yingqiu is indeed a hardcore Wei party, if it weren't for Wei Zhongxian, he wouldn't be able to get to the position of a heavenly official in the ministry.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse then said, "What do you mean...... Jiangnan provinces and counties...... are all controlled by people who collude with Li Guo? ”

"Exactly." Zhang Jingyi: "It is precisely because of this that the minister feels terrible, he has controlled so many black yarn hats, and this is only the tip of the iceberg, who knows if they have bribed other people and what other positions they have held." ”

"Your Majesty...... In fact, it is not terrible for some people in the DPRK and China to form a party. But if it is in the local state capital, if these people are monolithic, then it will shake the country's foundation. What's more, the people who spent so much effort to buy them black yarn hats...... What the plot is, then it is not clear. The Donglin Party, when it controlled the dynasty, did not do much harm, because it only took an edict from His Majesty to put them to death. But what about these hundreds or thousands of local civil and military officials? If they are in the hands of some people, the world will ...... But is it still Ming's? ”

How could the Emperor of the Apocalypse not know this truth?

Therefore, he also frowned, and was furious: "So who is the person behind it?" ”

Li Guo didn't say it, maybe he knew, but he refused to say it. It could also be ...... I really don't know. All he said was that he would be sought out regularly...... In addition to giving him gold and silver, it is to give him a roster, and it is clear who should do what positions. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gasped and said, "Can you really install whoever you want?" ”

"Li Guo claims to be able to do it." Zhang Jingyi: "The question now is how to deal with it?" ”

"Replace all the civil and military officials in Jiangnan?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse's voice fell, and he felt that this was unrealistic.

Zhang Jing said: "Want to come...... What they want is the result of the law not being held accountable to the people. If Your Majesty wants to do it, then ...... No one knows if there will be chaos in Jiangnan. But if His Majesty doesn't do it...... They could continue to live in the camp of flies. The scary thing is, who is behind these people, and what is he trying to do? Why was he able to take out so much money so easily without frowning? ”

Emperor Apocalypse's face also became solemn: "What the Qing family said is reasonable, if you don't find it out, it will be difficult for me to sleep and eat, Jiangnan is my rich land of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no room for error...... In your opinion, how am I doing? ”

"Now that Li Guo's case has been revealed to the world, then the person who wantonly sent bribes should also take action, as for the Jiangnan side, I am afraid that people will be panicked, at this moment, we should thoroughly investigate and interview their reactions."

"Tentative reaction?"

"Send a messenger to say that Li Guo's case will be thoroughly investigated."

"Who can be a messenger?"

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "Zhou Yingqiu, the secretary of the ministry, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Him?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in disgust: "This person is not ......"

"It is precisely because he is suspicious that Zhou Yingqiu will desperately investigate thoroughly in order to prove his innocence, and he has been in control of the officials for many years and knows the ...... of all officials in the world."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhang Jingyi gratefully.

In fact, Li Guo was captured, Wei Zhongxian was also a little embarrassed, he didn't say a lot of good things about Li Guo at the beginning, although Li Guo was not a eunuch, but after all, he and Wei Zhongxian were fellow villagers.

Now that this case involves the official department of Shangshu, then the matter is even more terrifying, doesn't this mean that the eunuch party cadres are also involved in this case?

This kind of thing is said to be big and big, small and small, and to be said in a big way, it is called collusion and thieves, and in the past, it was said in a small way, but it was just a ...... The crime of negligence allowed Li Guo to take advantage of the loophole.

Zhang Jingyi asked His Majesty to let Zhou Yingqiu go, which was essentially to make meritorious contributions, on the other hand, in fact, with the help of Wei Zhongxian's strength, to try the depth of the Jiangnan.

For Wei Zhongxian, this is an excellent opportunity to wash white.

So Wei Zhongxian said: "The slave also thinks that it is most appropriate for Zhou Yingqiu to go, he has made a big mistake, and he should be guilty of meritorious service." ”
