Chapter 833: Who is the culprit?
With Luo An's words, Yue Ting'an instantly felt that he stood up.
The anger I received at Mrs. Qiao's place before seemed to be able to be vented in one go...... No matter how awesome your Mrs. Qiao is, she is just a staff member who stammered to the prefect's side, and then it was said that she stammered with the prefect, and now I have made friends with the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town.
And the pacification envoy said that the prefect will get out of the house soon, and then the new prefect will be the emperor's person like the previous prefect Zhang, so wouldn't I stand on the right team and soar into the sky?
With such thoughts, Yue Ting'an no longer doubted Luo An's intentions.
Soon the two sides discussed a plan.
In the matter of going to the mine to make trouble, Jin Yiwei can't come forward in person, after all, nominally, the right to operate the mine is still in the hands of Jin Yiwei, so Jin Yiwei can't go to his own place to make trouble, right?
But now that the new prefect has sent someone to take over, Yue Ting'an wants to take people to make trouble, so he has to show a certain level.
……
……
At the instigation of Jin Yiwei, Yue Tingan made a decisive move.
The Yue family mobilized the family servants and tenants under the name of the family, as well as bribed many people near the mine, and also instigated a lot of unknown people, a total of more than 1,000 people, to raid the mine where Jinyiwei and the local government were in transition.
Jin Yiwei did not make any action to stop the trespassers, but instead made way and let the troublesome people rush in, just like Luo An promised Yue Ting'an before.
Most of the people in the government were in the nearest mine, and when they got the news, they rushed over, and the troublemakers had already smashed the things in the mine.
There were no more than 20 people sent by the government to do business, and in the end, after the troublemakers evacuated, they arrested a few guys who were left behind...... Most of these people are ruffians in the neighborhood, fishing in troubled waters and trying to steal something back.
As soon as this incident came out, the prefect's yamen immediately sent officials to take people.
Immediately, he went to arrest a few people who were said to be the leaders of the trouble, and were directly imprisoned in the government prison.
As soon as this incident came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
There were already people behind the scenes, and the news spread very quickly, and the imperial historian took advantage of the topic to play, and the impeachment prefect Zhu Hao was ineffective, and he caused local chaos before he took over the mine, and said that he would hurt innocent people...... Ignoring this disturbance, the two sides basically had no direct contact.
This celestial court meeting.
None of the ministers came out to mention this, and even the officials who had played the previous game became shrunken turtles, and they all remained silent.
Obviously, this incident occurred when Jinyiwei and the prefect of Yongping Prefecture handled the handover of the mine, and it was difficult to define who was responsible for the accident.
Because Jinyiwei usually has too deep grievances with the local people? Or are the local people dissatisfied with the prefect's yamen taking over the mine?
Although many people participated in the impeachment, Zhu Hao was both Yang Tinghe's person and Sun Jiao's person, and Zhu Hao was responsible in this matter...... It's a bit far-fetched.
Previously, because Jinyiwei made a provocation and set fire to the mine that Zhu Hao sent people to open, it led to a series of things that happened later, no matter how you look at it, the prefect Zhu Hao seems to be a victim.
The minister didn't mention it, but the emperor wanted to mention it.
Because from the beginning of Zhu Hao's design, he stood on the side of the emperor and Jinyiwei.
「…… I heard that something happened to the mine in Yongping Province, why didn't anyone mention it today?"
Zhu Si took the initiative to lead the topic.
On the cabinet side, Liu Chun came out and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there are local murderers in Yongping Mansion, who rushed into the government-run mine and plundered, causing trouble, and the local government and county officials came forward to take people, and now they are waiting for the instigator behind the investigation."
Zhu Sidao: "Why is the situation I heard a little different from what Elder Liu Ge said? Doesn't it mean that the local prefect rashly opened the mine, causing the people's resentment to boil? I heard that all the people who went there were people from nearby villages, and a group of unarmed people actually became murderers? Is there a secret in that?"
Liu Chun insisted: "Your Majesty, such a matter should still wait for the local government to report before making a decision."
Zhu Si said angrily: "The Imperial Historian has already played
, what are you waiting for? The report of the Yamen of Yongpyeong Prefecture? Sun Butang, this is the person you recommended to take care of the mines?"
Zhu Si then pointed the finger at Sun Jiao.
Sun Jiao walked out, with a look of embarrassment: "The old minister doesn't know why things have developed to such a situation, if there is really something that disturbs the place, it is better to ...... The Imperial Court will send someone to find out."
Lin Jun followed: "Your Majesty, since the mining incident has caused local public resentment to boil, the mining incident should be stopped, otherwise these things will definitely happen one after another in the future!"
The emperor made a start, Liu Chun and Sun handed over to muddy the waters, wanting to make a big thing small, while Lin Jun jumped out to push things in another direction, regardless of the mistakes and omissions caused by the handover of the local government, and regardless of Zhu Hao's negligence in leading people to open the mine, only talking about the mine disturbing the people, and wanting to stop the entire mining operation.
Zhu Si looked very impatient, but did not comment for a while.
After a while, Zhu Si looked at Sun Jiao, who had been standing there waiting for accountability: "Sun Qing's family, who do you think should be sent to investigate this matter?"
Sun Jiaodao: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if you go with someone from the Law Division, it will inevitably cause panic among the local people, and you can't go to the factory guards, and Your Majesty had better appoint a person who has a decent reputation among the people, and is fair, and does not involve the interests of local minerals, so it is appropriate."
Zhu Sidao: "Then let Tang Yin go." He is not an official in the court now, and I have assigned him an errand and will not give him a specific official position, so that he can find out what happened...... Do you have any opinions?"
Fei Hong, a member of the Cabinet University, said, "Your Majesty, if the imperial court appoints a person who has no official position to investigate the case, I am afraid that it will be inconsistent with the law."
Someone who cares listens to some doorways.
Could it be that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to give Tang Yin another official position? Isn't the question of whether or not to send someone to the question? Why did you start discussing who to send from the beginning?
Zhu Si seemed very insistent: "I promised Tang Yin that as long as he is unwilling, I will not let him return to the court to be an official, even if there is an errand handed over to him now, I cannot break the promise I made before. Let Jinyiwei send a few people with him, and ...... I think it would be safest to send a few people from the Hanlin Academy to visit, along with Tang Yin."
Not only to send Tang Yin, but also to send people from the Hanlin Academy?
What is this road number?
Is it just because there are local people who go to the mine to make trouble?
Even if you really want to find out what happened, isn't it the most appropriate to let someone from the Criminal Department go? Or it's okay to transfer people from the six departments, why choose the people of the Hanlin Academy?
Sun Jiaodao: "The old minister agrees with His Majesty's opinion, and the people in the Han Yuan are involved in court disputes in many steps, and the old minister recommends Yang Shen, the attendant of Hanlin, and Xu Jie, the editor of Hanlin."
The ministers were dumbfounded.
Immediately, they seemed to understand something, the dialogue between the Emperor of Feelings and Sun Jiao was all designed in advance, right?
As soon as the emperor said that he would send someone from the Hanlin Academy to investigate the matter, Sun Jiao was immediately elected and recommended, could it be a coincidence? Could it be that Sun Jiao had thought deeply about this matter a long time ago?
Zhu Si didn't answer immediately, but looked at Yang Tinghe and asked, "I wonder what Elder Yang Ge thinks about this?" To send someone, or not to send someone? If you really want to send people, with Tang Yin, Yang Shen and Xu Jie, I don't know what to do?"
The question was thrown to Yang Tinghe again.
In fact, Yang Tinghe couldn't quite understand what the trick was to this matter.
It stands to reason that at this time, the handover of the local mine has been negotiated, Jinyiwei is going to hand over the mine, and the local officials and gentry are also cooperating with the prefect yamen to take over the mine, why did someone suddenly jump out and make trouble?
I don't think this troublemaker will be a gentry, right?
Of course, there are no absolutes, and it is also possible that the actions of the government government touched the fundamental interests of the local people, and the people could not bear it anymore, so they rose up to resist?
Otherwise, there is only one explanation, it is simply the emperor's person, that is, Jinyiwei, who is unwilling and instigates the local people to make trouble.
But when Jinyiwei opened the mine before, the relationship with the local people was already very stiff, how did Jinyiwei mobilize the local people?
Or did Jinyiwei provoke the local people first and force the local people to fight back?
Yang Tinghe couldn't figure it out for a while, but he still bowed his head and replied: "The old minister seconded it."
Zhu Si nodded with a serious face: "Okay, let them hurry up and investigate, before that, the transfer of the mine will be postponed!"
Originally, Yang Tinghe didn't understand, but he thought that since Sun Jiao recommended Yang Shen to go, it would be good to let his son go to find out what was going on.
Yang Tinghe has always felt that Yang Shen needs more experience.
But the emperor then said that he would delay the transfer of the mine, and Yang Tinghe understood that the emperor and Jinyiwei must be the initiators of this matter.
Yang Tinghe hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the matter concerning the transfer of the mine cannot be delayed. In order to avoid further disputes between the mine and the local people, the local government should send additional personnel to maintain it, and the mining business can be temporarily suspended and resumed after the handover is completed."
It's not a moratorium, it's a temporary halt.
It does not mean to stop it permanently, but to stop it for a few days and wait for the situation to calm down before continuing mining.
Zhu Sidao: "Mining must not be stopped, there is so much iron ore output every day, how can it be stopped casually? That's a lot of income for the imperial court."
Many ministers don't think so, but what about the income of the imperial court, when did the imperial court see a penny from mining?
"Don't think I'm telling a lie, how much of the silver transferred from the Inner Government in the past two years has been obtained from the mines? Therefore, I will never agree to stop it!"
Zhu Sidao, "However, in order to prevent further disputes, I will order the Jinyi guards who are still stranded in the local area to pay more attention, and if anyone goes to make trouble, they will be brought to justice together!" Even unarmed civilians must obey the rules, and just because they look pathetic, can they go to the government-run mines to make trouble at will?"
Zhu Si's attitude was extremely resolute.
Just because the people are the weaker side should not be allowed to do whatever they want.
That's my mine, and I'm just handing it over to the household department to help take care of it, and I didn't say that I want to transfer the mine income as well.
Whoever goes to the mine to make trouble will affect my financial resources, and I will definitely not let him have a good time.
