"Your Majesty, outside the Zhenguo Gong (Fei Ruhe) Mansion, there are many visitors who post every day. However, they were all sent by merchants, and no court officials participated. Zhenguo Gong...... closed the door, in fact, he didn't live at home at all, and hid in the mansion of Baoguo Gong (Fei Chun). Now the businessmen who want to see the town and the prince have all gone to the eastern suburbs of the racecourse. In addition, the prince also appeared at the racecourse, and more than 5,000 people bought tickets to enter the racecourse yesterday. ”

"I know, step down, don't be watched."

Zhao Han rarely monitored the minister's whereabouts, and he sent someone to keep an eye on Fei Ruhe, purely to know what this childhood friend would do.

It turns out that Fei Ruhe is very smart.

Fei Ruhe knew that he was based in the north, and the businessmen who wanted to do grassland business would definitely come to visit him. He was too lazy to take care of it, so he simply didn't live in his own house. The place to live is also very interesting, and I actually live directly in Fei Chun's house.

What does this mean?

First, although I let my clan brother do business, I will do everything legally, and I will abide by the laws of the imperial court when I make money, and I will not accept bribes from other businessmen.

Second, I do not collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China, or even deal with the ministers. But I miss the old one, I don't have to avoid suspicion in my relationship with Fei Chun, I believe that His Majesty the Emperor will not be suspicious. I regard Fei Chun as an old friend, and I will definitely treat His Majesty the Emperor as an old friend.

What really made Zhao Han cry and laugh was that none of the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs dared to take the initiative to visit Fei Ruhe.

Xu Ying's purge of Jiangsu officialdom was followed by a nationwide purge of fields, with more and more local officials being arrested, and occasionally ministers from the DPRK and China. This series of operations frightened the Beijing officials, and they felt that Zhao Han wanted to play Zhu Yuanzhang's set, where did he dare to meet Fei Ruhe publicly?

After all, Fei Ruhe is not only the Duke of Zhenguo, not only the Zuo Governor of the Governor's Mansion, but also the uncle of the crown prince!

If you get too close to Zhenguo Gong, what if it arouses the emperor's suspicion?

No longer caring about Fei Ruhe's affairs, Zhao Han opened a piece of music, and got angry just by looking at the beginning: "Am I so scary?" The dignified Ministry of Engineering is still the book, and he was so scared that he wanted to resign and return home! ”

Ding Shijing, who was immersed in writing his daily notes, muttered in his heart: Not to mention scary, both inside and outside the court are about to be scared to death.

……

Li House.

Li Rixuan complained to Yang Zhong, who came to visit: "At this time, how dare you come to me? Beware of being targeted by the black-clad guards! ”

Yang Zhong said: "The black-clothed guard has been changed to the National Security Yuan, and it has never monitored the minister. ”

Li Rixuan stepped back, took Yang Zhong into the study, and whispered: "How do you know that Your Majesty does not spy on the minister, maybe you and I will meet today, and we will already fall into the sight of the black-clothed guard!" Your Majesty wants to be Zhu Hongwu, and the black-clothed guard is the brocade guard! ”

"Uncle Hao is too worried," Yang Zhong asked, "I heard that Uncle Hao asked for a request?" This is good, why didn't the Ministry of Industry Shangshu do it? ”

Li Rixuan said: "Zhejiang has just discovered a major corruption case, and I used to be a political envoy to Zhejiang. This big case, the Zhejiang official hall who committed the crime, was reused by me in Zhejiang. This guy is so bold that he actually buys and sells officials, it's like an old birthday star who eats arsenic, and he is impatient! The old subordinate I reused, something so big happened, where do I still have the face to be an official? Where do you still have the courage to be an official? ”

In addition to being responsible for evaluating the performance of officials in the province, the provincial officials selection departments also have the power to appoint miscellaneous officials in the province and officials at all levels in the provincial government.

To tell the truth, Zhao Han never thought that he had only been on the throne for eleven years, and some officials would dare to buy and sell official positions on a large scale!

The specific operation is: send silver to the chief official of the Zhejiang Officials' Department, and the official's provincial assessment can be rated as excellent. However, the central government will generally not overturn this kind of performance evaluation, and the official will inevitably be promoted more easily. This is a fraud in political performance, and it is selling official positions in disguise. It is more convenient to sell officials directly, and the miscellaneous officials and officials in the province can be handled by the Zhejiang Officials Department within the scope of their authority.

This time, the Zhejiang official selling case was actually involved by Qingtian.

A middle school dropout who didn't get his graduation certificate because his grades were too bad, he applied for the county government clerk with a primary school diploma, and he was really admitted by virtue of nepotism. Because the family had money, this goods began to spend money, and they were evaluated excellently every time, and they were quickly promoted to the fourth class. Then he went to smash the silver and was transferred to Qiantang County as the head of the household section, in charge of the county's household registration and field register.

Zhejiang Province's action to clear the fields was first launched in Qiantang County and Renhe County, and the field administration in the two counties was a complete mess.

The head of the household section of Qiantang County was arrested, and under some interrogation, the matter of buying officials and promotions was exposed. Along the vine and the level by level investigation, it was found that the Zhejiang officials were in charge of the office, and the chief official of the yamen in Zhejiang took the lead in messing around. In the assessment and promotion of officials in Zhejiang Province, there are some big or small problems.

"Zhejiang is about to be the same as Jiangsu, and it will be killed by the Inspectorate. I have been in charge of Zhejiang for several years, and if such a big incident occurs, I can still be decent if I resign early. Li Rixuan said.

Yang Zhong persuaded and said: "Uncle Gong is honest, who in the world doesn't know? Even if it is investigated, at most, it is not clear about the people and the employment of people is improper, and there is really no need to resign. ”

Li Rixuan shook his head: "I have made up my mind." After three requests and three resignations, His Majesty will definitely agree. ”

Yang Zhong could no longer persuade him, so he could only sigh and leave.

……

Hallym Temple.

Zhang Pu, who was sick and bedridden every year, survived for ten years and did not die.

Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi thought about entering the cabinet as officials, and then thought about being a teacher for the prince. Now that all hopes are shattered, they are open-minded and stay in the Hanlin Academy to compile the "History of the Ming Dynasty" with all their might.

Qian Qianyi gloated: "The two parties are fighting, and before they really fight, they are lost by His Majesty." Yu Shiqin closed his door to thank the guests, as if he didn't want to be the party leader anymore; Li Rixuan was more interesting, and he resigned directly. Two fools, who were not sober from the beginning, still want to form a party in front of the founding emperor? ”

Zhang Pu said: "It was this time to clean up the officialdom and the acres of land, and it was really powerful. The henchmen of the two of them have been arrested a lot one after another, where do they dare to jump up and down in the capital? Today's saint is indeed the reincarnation of Zhu Hongwu. If it goes on like this, it will really be like the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and the officials will be in shackles. ”

"That's not it," Qian Qianyi said with a smile, "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were not many scholars, and there were not enough officials. Zhu Hongwuding's laws were strict, and officials were often offended, so the offenders were allowed to sit in the government with a flail. For three hundred years, the world has been strictly educated, and three-legged toads are not easy to find, but two-legged scholars are everywhere. Where will there be a shortage of officials now? Then they killed all the magistrates, and there were enough officials to fill the vacancy. ”

Zhang Pu suddenly sighed: "If Chongzhen has the courage of today, how can Daming die so quickly." Alas! ”

Distance produces beauty, and time filters all shortcomings.

At the beginning, it was Zhang Pu who scolded Chongzhen the hardest, describing Chongzhen as a stubborn and self-serving husband. It's only been how many years, and I actually began to miss Chongzhen again, and I felt sorry for Chongzhen in my heart.

Qian Qianyi said: "It's not that Chongzhen has no courage, it's that the Ming officialdom is rotten to the roots." The Donglin Party has too many old accounts on it, and it will never be able to gain Chongzhen's trust, so it can only use the remnants of the eunuch party to govern the country. The two parties compete with each other, whether it is right or wrong, and only look at winning or losing. If Chongzhen dares to order the investigation and rectification of the officials, the holy decree will definitely be in chaos in the world, and the eunuch party and the Donglin party will be able to choke the blood into a river. ”

Qian Qianyi also belongs to the Donglin Party, but he is a pseudo-Donglin Party, and for his own future, he can even sell the Donglin Party at any time.

At this time, Qian Qianyi completely stayed out of the matter, as if he had never been a member of the Donglin Party.

As he spoke, he laughed, Qian Qianyi shook his sleeves: "It's still you and me who are comfortable, sitting in the Hanlin Courtyard to compile history, and it has nothing to do with us when the officialdom kills people." How much silver can you be greedy for when you are in charge of the Hanlin Academy? Just be greedy for pen and paper, candles, hahahaha! ”

"Whatever, my life is short anyway." Zhang Pu felt that his body was very weak.

Hearing this, Qian Qianyi wanted to roll his eyes.

Zhang Pu suddenly began to get down to business: "The History of the Ming Dynasty can't make any more mistakes, the last time I proofread the manuscript, some people from Wujiang presented "Wujiang Zhi", and we made that paragraph ridiculously wrong. Fortunately, it was not submitted to His Majesty for review, otherwise you and I would have lost face. ”

The story of Shen Wansan wanting to pay for the construction of the city wall and being exiled to death by Zhu Yuanzhang has been widely spread in the late Ming Dynasty, and has even been recorded in many wild histories.

Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu compiled the "History of the Ming Dynasty", but they met someone who presented "Wu Jiangzhi".

Mo Dan, the author of "Wujiang Zhi", and Shen Wansan's descendants are sons and daughters, and there are detailed records about Shen Wansan in the book. Qian Qianyi was afraid of making a mistake, so he sent someone to Wujiang to inquire and verify the genealogy of the Shen family.

The actual situation is that when Zhu Yuanzhang ascended the throne, Shen Wansan had been dead for 12 years. If he didn't die, Shen Wansan would be in his 80s. Because Shen Wansan's son Shen Rong was 62 years old at the time, and his grandson Shen Sen was 39 years old. And when the Ming army pacified Yunnan, Shen Wansan was almost 100 years old, even if he was still alive, would he exile the centenarian to Yunnan?

According to the "Da Ming Law", the elderly over 90 years old and children under the age of 7 will not be sentenced to death even if they kill people, except for major crimes such as rebellion and disobedience, and exile is also not suitable for the elderly and children.

The compilation of the History of the Ming Dynasty was divided into four editorial groups by Qian Qianyi, who were responsible for the chronicles, chronicles, tables, and biographies.

Under the four major editorial groups, there are many small editorial groups, such as a group of geographical journals and another group of food and goods journals.

Qian Qianyi himself is not hands-on, only responsible for arranging manpower and reviewing manuscripts, and even then he often reviews in the dark. In addition to the official historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there are local chronicles that can be found, they must first read the local chronicles.

While watching the lively and complaining about officialdom, the two buried themselves in compiling history books, completely out of the political whirlpool.

In September of the 11th year of the Republic of China, Li Rixuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, resigned three times and resigned, and was approved by the emperor to resign and return to his hometown. Before leaving Beijing, he was crowned with the crown prince and the prince, which was regarded as the court's affirmation of his work.

The ministers of the imperial court, no one dared to fight for anything anymore, they all buried themselves in their own work, for fear of being involved in the action of clearing the locality.

Even Fei Ruhe left Beijing and went north, except for Fei Chun and other old friends, no official dared to see him off.

The story of Zhu Yuanzhang's killing, who still doesn't know?

In the eyes of many ministers, the more Emperor Zhao looked at it, the more he looked like Zhu Yuanzhang.
