Chapter 151 A piece of the pie
Lin Yiyu's letter was just an insignificant episode for Ying Chong. And at this time, he is indeed flawless.
Not only because of his cultivation of the Phantom Thunder Spear, it has reached a critical juncture, but also because of the court battle at that time, it has entered the final stage. Both sides have red eyes, white blades to see blood, to the realm of life and death.
On December 12, the snake king Situ Yuanshan fled from Xianyang and disappeared. The next day, hundreds of miles north of the city, there were several heavenly powerhouses fighting, but when the forbidden army arrived, they were nowhere to be found.
On December 14, a fire broke out in the study of the Division of the Criminal Department, destroying nearly 1,000 case files and dozens of physical evidence.
On December 15, there was a mob in Nancheng, and the Jinwuwei Forbidden Army rushed to suppress it in time.
Also on December 15, Zhang Huan was released by the Criminal Department due to insufficient evidence.
On December 16, Wang Ming, the right inspector of the right inspectorate, was assassinated on the way back to Beijing, but because the royal family had already been prepared, there was no danger.
On December 17, Wang Ming, the right inspector of the right inspectorate, entered the palace to face the saint, and heard that seven local military transfer envoys colluded with the storage and transportation department to steal and sell the materials of the military department, and the total amount involved amounted to 170,000 taels of gold. The case has been verified and the evidence is conclusive. The Heavenly Saint Emperor was furious and ordered the Three Law Divisions to investigate thoroughly.
On December 18, Xue Shou, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was transferred to the Ministry of War, and Ye Hongbo, the left waiter of the former Ministry of War, was transferred to the Ministry of Officials.
-- The turmoil caused by the Department of Storage and Transportation did not come to an end until 20 December.
This continuous court battle for more than ten days made Ying Chong quite dazzled. Even if he is as smart as him, he only has a rough idea.
The forces used by both sides are also terrifying, involving nearly 1,000 officials of all sizes in the Beijing Dynasty and the local government, and costing nearly 3 million gold.
And just to hunt down the snake king Situ Yuanshan alone, Xiuyiwei and Xiangyang Wang's family, nearly twenty-five heavenly positions were used. The heritage and strength of the world valve family are vividly displayed.
In the end, the Xiangyang royal family won a big victory. But it was not done.
The prince of Xiangyang is in charge of the overall situation, and his means are extraordinary, and Mingli is investigating the empty warehouse case of the Criminal Department. Secretly, he started from the local transfer envoy and broke through in a roundabout way. In the end, it was decided in one fell swoop. However, Ying went to the disease and dealt with it properly, and still kept the foundation of the Xue family unlost. Xue Shou's relocation to the military department also prevented the possibility of this major case continuing to spread.
However, Ying Chong also saw the black hands of several princes from it. When he fell ill, there were naturally many people who fell into the well, and there was no shortage of his father-in-law.
It is said that on December 18. When Zhang Huan was detained again by the Criminal Department, Ying Qu was sick and smashed his head with an inkstone by the Heavenly Sage Emperor, and Xue Guifei was also reprimanded and grounded by His Majesty.
I don't know if this matter is true or not, anyway, when Ying Chong attended the court meeting on the 20th, he didn't see Ying Chong's illness.
If there is anything that surprises Ying Chong in this court dispute, it is only Ye Hongbo. He thought that this father-in-law would take the opportunity to continue to work in the military department, but he didn't expect it. This one threw a few stones into the well, and then he made a deal with Xue Shou, and the two exchanged positions.
The Great Pilgrimage Meeting on the 20th. The Heavenly Saint Emperor was furious, and with the folds handed over by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department, he trained nearly 5,000 court officials above the sixth rank as children for a whole hour.
Ying Chong was also in his case, and because of his super quality and high position, he suffered from the thunder of the Heavenly Saint Emperor and was in pain. Now that he finds himself high, it's not good. In the past, when he was still a son, no one cared about him even if he fell asleep in the back.
But now Yingchong people are standing at the forefront. As soon as he closed his eyes, the Heavenly Saint Emperor directly smashed two beads over. So he didn't feel embarrassed.
Finally, the Heavenly Saint Emperor's mouth was dry, and he finally stopped. Several political bigwigs and related people are all eye-catching and eager to try.
Now the people of the military department have either been detained and taken to prison, or dismissed from office, plus the small fish and shrimp that have been implicated in the locality, the vacancy has reached 200. Although the Xiangyang Wang family contributed the most, it was impossible for the Wang family to swallow such a large piece of bread.
However, the final agreed result was that Wang Huanzhang was transferred to the right attendant of the military department. The supplementary list of the Ministry of War was drawn up by Wang Huanzhang and Ye Hongbo, and then submitted to the Ministry of Officials and the Political Affairs Hall for approval.
And the person who took over as the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion was a person that Ying Chong had never heard of, surnamed Kou Mingzhun and was formerly a judge of salt and iron.
Ying Chong also understood at this moment that something must have happened in the imperial study on the eighteenth. Between His Majesty and the Xiangyang Wang family, as well as Ye Hongbo, there must have been a deal.
Ye Hongbo was transferred to the Ministry of Officials as the left attendant of the Ministry of War and served as a small heavenly official, which was the most important step in his career. And although Wang Huanzhang lost the official position of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, the result of being transferred to the right attendant of the Criminal Department is not too bad. I have not completely lost hope of winning the political hall.
And only the lack of personnel in the two divisions can account for at least half of the number,
Ying Chong's eyes swept a burning glance at everyone in the court, as well as the Heavenly Saint Emperor, and then laughed silently, and squinted his eyes again.
Obviously, the Heavenly Saint Emperor wanted to attack his soldiers, but he was unwilling to really force his son and Xue Guifei's family into a desperate situation.
This is not quite like the style of the Heavenly Saint Emperor in the early years, ********, but since His Majesty has done this, he must have a plan. It's just that now, he can't see clearly what this grandfather's idea is.
And just after the end of the day's court meeting, his father-in-law Ye Hongbo found him again, and talked about the selection of the military department with a smile, he still had five people missing, and asked Yingchong if there was any suitable candidate to recommend here.
This flattered Ying Chong, who had originally made up his mind to sit by. Although there was a lot of shortage of troops in the military headquarters this time, they were stared at by more than a dozen hungry tigers in the DPRK and China. He really didn't think that he could mix a foot in it and get a piece of the pie.
He, his father-in-law, is so good to himself?
"Originally, I agreed with the king that it would be three people to raise your credit. However, it was rejected by His Majesty, and after reconsideration, it was finally decided to be five. ”
Ye Hongbo was not greedy for heaven, and after explaining to Ying Chong, he smiled again: "Chong'er, don't underestimate yourself too much, no matter how the Duke of An Guo declines, he is also one of the nine great princes of the dynasty." And now that the whole dynasty is up and down, who dares to underestimate you? If you don't take this lack of personnel in the military department, how can the Wang family feel at ease?"
Ying Chong listened quietly, his eyes sweeping behind the many ministers above the royal road. It can be seen that the people passing by, even if they are equivalent to him, will nod their heads. And those with lower official positions dare not be disrespectful.
It was indeed different, and he could already feel the change from ten days ago, when he participated in the first great pilgrimage meeting.
Indeed, he was too cautious. Now in this court, how could he not be one of the predators, though still very weak, still very weak. However, it is also necessary to seize every opportunity.
Thinking of this, Ying Chong was no longer polite: "Since this is the case, then Ying Chong will be ashamed." Within ten days, the candidate will definitely be reported to his father-in-law."
But he was worried in his heart, the three official positions he asked for from Wang Huanzhang had not yet been selected, and there were five more people. Although they are all positions under the seventh grade, there is really no one available in his hands, where to find it?
"Ten days?
Ye Hongbo nodded when he heard this, and then asked, "After a month, you and Ling Xue will get married." At this time, in the Anguo Mansion, can someone preside?"
This asked another thing that made Ying Chong worried, in Anguo Mansion, there was no one to preside over the feed!
Now he is in charge of all the affairs in the house. But he didn't know what kind of etiquette and what kind of process should be for the grand wedding.
- Don't say it's him, Yingding, who lived to be sixty years old, probably doesn't understand it either.
There are also banquet arrangements and reception of female dependents, which is not what a man should do.
Today's Anguo Mansion lacks nothing, only a hostess who can handle the backyard for him.
Ye Hongbo had expected this, and smiled: "If the virtuous son-in-law is worried about this, he may be able to ask the county king's mansion for help." Ling Xue is my only daughter, if you neglect her, neither I nor her grandfather will be able to rely on her. ”
Ying Chong suddenly had black lines on his head and asked for help from the Wuwei County Palace, what is this like? )
