In the Beijing Division, the noise of the examination gradually faded away, but the hearts of the people became more and more impetuous, and many people were panicked.

Mainly because the case of King Ning is unsolved.

King Ning rebelled, and so far he hasn't hung up, and it is possible for anyone to bite out.

At that time, no one thought that King Ning had the courage to rebel, if he had known that this was the case, no one would have dealt with King Ning.

“…… The matter assigned by the Ministry of Officials has not been finalized for a long time, His Majesty is not in Beijing, and the court push cannot be carried out, especially Lu Shangshu is still in his position, it is difficult to do! ”

Su Xigui was in a hurry.

He originally wanted to wait for Lu Wan to be unlucky and vacate a place for Shangshu, so that the people below would be evenly placed one by one, and maybe he would make a pit for Huang Zhan.

Who knows that now even Lu Wan has not closed the coffin.

Zhu Hao said: "It may have to wait for a thorough search of the Ningwang Mansion in Jiangxi Province before it is decided." ”

Su Xigui looked around, thinking that the place where he invited Zhu Hao to speak was his own private house, and no one would know about the secret meeting between the two in private, but he still cautiously stepped forward and asked: "There are rumors in the court that Wang Shouren, who is the biggest contributor to this counterinsurgency, is also involved in the case...... Mr. Xiao's meaning is that Wang Shouren's search of the Nanchang Ning Mansion is not counted, and he will wait for the imperial court to send people? ”

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I don't know." ”

In fact, Zhu Hao knew.

In history, all the ministers who had traffic crimes with King Ning were punished, but they were not arrested and imprisoned until the emperor returned to Tongzhou and arrived in Tongzhou, including Lu Wan.

The emperor also has his own considerations, he is not in the capital, and he casually takes down a secretary of the ministry, isn't he afraid that there will be people in the court to rebel? When the capital supports a king of Xing and the king of Qi to come out, he himself is like a headless fly in the south, isn't he going to be a prisoner?

If the minister is to be punished, it will be said after the emperor returns to Beijing.

At present, although everyone in the world knows that Lu Wan has contributed the most to King Ning's restoration of the guard, and it is not a secret that Lu Wan has communicated with King Ning in recent years, but to get real evidence, it is still necessary to wait for Zhang Yong to personally go to Nanchang Ning Wangfu and get the evidence.

It is unknown whether there is an element of framing in it, just the article that Lu Wan helped Ning Wangfu get back the power of guarding, it was enough for him to go to prison.

You helped restore the armed forces of King Ning's mansion, and then King Ning used these guards to rebel, and you also accepted bribes from him, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?

"Lord Su, if you believe me, let Huang Gong please transfer to Nanjing as soon as possible, and I believe that without His Majesty coming forward, someone will help operate the ......"

What Zhu Hao wants to say is that Huang Zan stayed in the capital, not to mention the cumbersome procedures, and there were still people who set heavy thresholds.

But if Huang Zan wants to be transferred to Nanjing, Yang Tinghe and other ministers will secretly help, and there is no need to wait for Lu Wan to let the pit go, and there is no need to wait for the emperor to return to Beijing to push it, and it will reduce a lot of resistance to operation.

Su Xigui sighed: "It seems that it can only be like this!" I hope that the chaos in the Ming court will end soon. ”

Now even Su Xigui is looking forward to the emperor burping quickly and the new emperor ascending the throne, maybe only in this way will Huang Zan and his fate change.

……

……

Huang Zan really accepted his fate.

Entangled in whether to stay in Beijing or not, it is better to be directly transferred to Nanjing to be in charge.

In particular, the Shangshu of the Southern Household Department still has a certain attraction to those ministers who are about to retire in the DPRK and China, and they are in charge of the distribution of money and grain in many provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have a lot of power at hand.

If Huang Zan insists on fighting for the position of Nanhu Shangshu, his background is not strong, but as long as the intensity of the activity is strong enough, he is the most popular candidate.

Now Deng Zhang, the secretary of the southern household department, is old and unbearable, and his ability is not satisfactory, and the emperor personally led the army in the south, and Deng Zhang was unable to raise money and grain to feed the people from all walks of life, so that the emperor's army wantonly plundered the granaries and large households in the surrounding prefectures and counties of Nanjing, making the chickens and dogs restless.

Deng Zhang knew that the position of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu was a hot potato, and he resigned many times, but there were no good candidates to replace the emperor and the Beijing Division, so the matter was delayed.

At this moment, Huang Zhan played the tune.

Huang Zan has completed the three-year examination and has not moved his official position for a long time, and his request is reasonable, which is equivalent to reconciling Deng Zhang and Yang Ting, a scholar of Shoufu University.

When the emperor was in the northwest, he relied on Huang Zhan to raise military salaries, and the dispatch of soldiers and horses in the northwest basically did not use the money and grain from the Jingshi Treasury, and even if Huang Zhan was not a person in the small circle of the Chinese official group of the dynasty, his ability was still unanimously recognized by the imperial court.

With Huang Zhan's achievements in the northwest, the transfer of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu is not considered to be promoted beyond the ranks, so only a few days later, there was news from the imperial court, saying that it was the official secretary of the Ministry of Officials and the first assistant of the cabinet to jointly guarantee the imperial court, but as for whether Huang Zan was transferred to Nanjing to be the secretary of the Nanhu Ministry, or to serve as another ministry, or even the right attendant of the Nanhu Ministry, it is another matter, after all, the Southern Sixth Department did not have the official position of Zuo Shilang to Huang Zhan.

Su Xigui stayed in the capital after the year for the transfer of his brother-in-law, and basically asked Zhu Hao for advice when he encountered tricky things.

It's the second day of April in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Su Xigui found Zhu Hao, and breathed a long sigh of relief between words: "...... Deng Shangshu's resignation of the Southern Household Department was sent to the cabinet again, and when he heard that the cabinet voted to agree to his resignation, Yang Gelao, the first assistant, and Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials and others jointly promoted Huang Gong of my family to take over the post of Shangshu of the Southern Household Department. ”

The implication is that everything is ready now, and only the emperor is owed the approval of this east wind.

Zhu Hao said: "I don't know if to congratulate or say...... Trouble just getting up? ”

Su Xigui sighed: "Isn't it, the secretary of the Nanhu Department used to be regarded as a noble position, and he didn't have any real power, but now His Majesty is driving the expedition in person, and everywhere the army goes, it costs countless amounts of money and grain, just relying on the inventory of the Nanhu Department in the past few years...... I'm afraid it will be difficult to cope with such a large overhead, and then it will be ...... I'm holding on to my purse. I don't know when the army will be ......"

It's time for Su Xigui to feel sorry for his pocket.

Zhu Hao shook his head: "Even if you hollow out all the Su Dong's family, you can't cope with the expenses of the army, right?" ”

"What can I do? Still not trying to support it? If it weren't for the fact that this errand was not easy to do, the people of the DPRK and China would have rushed to do it in the past...... However, raising money and food for His Majesty is both a risk and an opportunity! ”

Su Xigui is also direct.

Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, how can Huang Zan be the kind of clean official with clean sleeves?

Joke!

If it is a clean breeze on both sleeves, it will not be able to produce one of the few big officials and businessmen in the world like Su Xigui.

Since ancient times, capable ministers have rarely had two sleeves and a clean breeze, and it is as difficult as asking officials to be honest and self-disciplined in the officialdom than asking them not to eat or drink.

There are exceptions, but most of them have little access to money, but they are powerful and powerful...... What can you ask for in a feudal dynasty that lacks regulation?

When the people see the officials, they have to kneel and kowtow, go to the public court and kill dozens of sticks first, the officials don't rob your family of grain and your wife and daughter, it's good, the officials are greedy for a little money and food, and collect some bribes, you still dare to blow your beard and stare at it?

Power does not come from the hands of the people, so naturally there is no need to be responsible to the people.

"I don't know when I will be transferred?"

Zhu Hao asked.

Su Xigui smiled bitterly: "In the past, it may not be possible to make the trip for a few months, but the errand involving the South Household Department, you can look at it...... I'm not in a hurry, someone is in a hurry for me...... In response to Mr. Xiao's words, there are a lot of people behind him to help operate! It's sad and lamentable! ”

Zhu Hao said: "Woe, blessing depends, blessing, misfortune, if Huang Gong can make achievements in Nanjing, then return to the dynasty as a scholar, I'm afraid no one will dare to say anything about it." ”

Su Xigui looked bitter: "I'm afraid that in the end, the contemptible people will go bankrupt, and I won't be able to get such a good reputation, Nanhubu ...... What a hole, the kind that can't be filled! ”

……

……

The news of Huang Zhan's transfer to the Southern Household Department Shangshu soon spread in Beijing.

Even Tang Yin knew.

The matter was not finalized, but it seemed that everyone felt that this was the most reasonable arrangement.

“…… His Majesty has spent extravagantly in the northwest in the past few years, relying entirely on Huang Shilang's dispatch operation, and the dispatch of money and grain is not chaotic at all, which shows Huang Shilang's strong ability. Now that the Nanjing treasury is empty, the imperial court is unwilling to allocate money and grain to maintain the army, so it sends Huang Shilang to save time and effort! ”

"The Sword Comes"

After Tang Yin heard about this, at the wine table, in front of Zhu Hao, Jiang Lun and others, he mercilessly criticized the inaction of the imperial court.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the imperial court should start to solve the trouble when it encounters it, but the current situation is to directly stuff Huang Zan over and let him solve it by himself.

Jiang Lun poured wine for Tang Yin and said, "I thought that Huang Shilang was promoted, but after listening to what you said, I realized that I was cheated." ”

"Hmm."

While Tang Yin nodded, his eyes turned to Zhu Hao, who was holding a teacup and drinking tea.

Zhu Hao smiled, put down the cup in his hand, and said, "I said that Huang Shilang took the initiative to ask for transfer to Nanjing, do you believe it?" ”

"No...... No way? ”

Jiang Lun's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity.

How can anyone pit their own?

Tang Yin frowned and asked, "You mean, Huang Shilang took the initiative to undertake this thankless errand?" You must know that the cost of supplying tens of thousands of soldiers to the southern expeditionary army is a large amount, and now there is no war to fight in the south, and the soldiers have nowhere to consume their exuberant physical strength, and they are almost out of control...... This...... It is not easy to solve the nuisance to local people's livelihood. ”

Zhu Hao said: "Whether the soldiers are under control or not is not the responsibility of the household department, the household department is just raising money and food for the army, and the southern household department has southern salt and tea to trigger the exercise of power, plus the operation of the Su Dongzhu behind the scenes, how can it not solve the problem by requisitioning money and grain from the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

Jiang Lun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "Ouch, listening to the meaning of this, what seems difficult to others to do, Huang Shilang can do it alone?" Too...... Evil, right? ”

Tang Yin was going to pour cold water, but this was something that Zhu Hao supported, and he expected that there would be no good result in singing the opposite, so he said at the moment: "If you look at all the officials in the court who know money and grain and treasury in the northwest, there is no one who is like him, I am afraid that this errand really belongs to him!" ”

Even Tang Yin felt that if Huang Zan couldn't solve the problem if he went, then others would have no fun.

As for whether Su Xigui will go bankrupt, it is not in Tang Yin's consideration.

As an official businessman, he made a lot of money because of the official background, and now he wants to help the backer to the top position, how can there be a reason not to spend a penny? As long as you can mix the credit and support the official position, even if you go bankrupt, it will be worth it, and maybe you will earn more and get it back with profits.
