A team of lieutenants from thousands of households flocked into the Hanlin Academy.

This momentum frightened the editors and scribes inside.

At that moment, someone found the duty room of Chen Hui, a bachelor of waiting.

When a group of people rushed in, there was still a lot of talk outside.

For the Hanlin people, this Hanlin Temple is such a sacred place.

It's not a place like Jinyiwei where Qiu Ba said he came, even if he wanted to take someone, he got off the driving post and let people wait.

But there are thousands of households in the house, obviously there is no such rule.

The dumping between various departments, even to the point of saber rattling, is by no means as simple as simply breathing a sigh of air.

The logic behind this is that when you can frantically step on the other party's bottom line, you and your subordinates, to some extent, have confidence. In the words of later generations, it is a sense of honor, even if it is a dog in the inner thousand households, he can hold his head high and be a man. And so it goes, and vice versa.

The so-called honor, in fact, is also a kind of welfare, this thing may not be seen or touched, but you report your name, others will naturally respect you, which is much higher than the annual salary of a few taels of silver, which brings people a sense of steadiness.

But for the Hanlin Academy, it's a different matter, because they are the ones who have been trampled on, and many Hanlin feel that their self-esteem has been ruthlessly trampled on.

"What are you doing here?" Hanlin is not an ordinary errand soldier, and at this time, some people reacted and stepped forward to ask.

The lieutenants did not do anything to them, but they did not pay attention to them, after all, they only knew how to move, and as long as they pressed their knives, they would always keep their convenience within a safe range, and they only glared at themselves, pointed at them, or shouted at them.

Winter......

The door to the duty room was kicked open.

Immediately afterwards, the lieutenants swarmed up.

Zhang Anshi was also under the protection of everyone, rushed in, and when he saw it, he suddenly snorted coldly: "Enter the fuck." ”

But when he saw that there was a person hanging on the beam of the room, someone untied the hanging person, and then said: "Master Hou, it's this bachelor Chen Hui, who has been dead for half an hour." ”

Zhang Anshi was annoyed.

Chen Li showed a look of resentment: "Take the corpse away, take it back for Wu Zuo to inspect, and surround his house." ”

After that, Chen Li had no choice but to close the team, he followed Zhang Anshi closely, and said, "Master Hou...... You see. ”

"The problem is serious." Zhang Anshi frowned and said, "It's much more serious than we imagined, too much...... Tell Your Majesty immediately. ”

Chen Li glanced up at Zhang Anshi: "Yes, Hou Ye Mingjian, this matter ...... It's not easy. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I'll write the report, you continue to investigate, this Ningbo Mansion was not just a prefect in the past, they had the ability, and they committed suicide one by one." ”

Chen Li bowed his head: "I know." ”

Zhang Anshi sent it up, and an hour later, the palace summoned Zhang Anshi to meet him.

Under the leadership of the eunuch, Zhang Anshi came to the Wenlou and saluted Zhu Di.

Zhu Di glanced at him and said, "Look at it, the impeachment of the Hanlin Academy has been sent to my eucalyptus." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "They reacted so quickly. ”

Zhu Di smiled: "You are fearless." ”

Zhang Anshi said confidently: "What is there to be afraid of when ministers do things for Your Majesty?" Don't say that it is the Hanlin Academy, even if it is the Zhao Wangfu......"

Zhu Di pressed his hand, glared at him and said, "Okay, okay, what is this, let's talk about your performance." ”

"Your Majesty." Zhang Anshi went straight to the topic and said: "This eucalyptus was originally just an ordinary eucalyptus, but now it seems that it is obviously a pain that has penetrated into my Ming marrow......"

Zhu Di put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth, and frowned slightly: "Go on." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "First: the Inner Thousand Households Office has just found the former prefect of Ningbo, and when the person arrived at the Hanlin Academy, this bachelor Chen Hui committed suicide and died, which can be seen ...... These people are all over the ears and eyes, and they all know exactly where they have been found, after all, if they commit suicide in fear of sin, they will also die in such a hurry. On the minister's side, but after getting the news, he immediately moved, but when the minister arrived, he committed suicide in half an hour in advance, and he must have received the news in advance, and it was definitely not the thousands of households who came to the door and committed suicide in a hurry. ”

Zhu Di said: "There are also problems in the inner thousand households? ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be the problem of the inner thousand households...... It's ......"

Zhang Anshi paused and said, "Could it be that in addition to the North and South Zhenfu Division, there is also a group of secret agents?" ”

Zhu Di smiled and said: "It's really ridiculous, is there anything else, I don't know?" ”

"As long as there is money and a community of interests, why can't it be done?" Zhang Anshi said: "The reason why the minister is so suspicious is that the other party's ears and eyes are too well-informed, the minister has calculated the time, and the minister has got the news, and when the people from the inner thousand households attack and take people, it should be within half an hour, and the other party will commit suicide one step ahead of us, which shows that it ...... They are one step ahead of us. The minister can't imagine who ...... It can be one step faster than the inner thousand households. ”

Zhu Di's face gradually became gloomy, and he said, "If this is the case, then the seriousness of this situation will far exceed my expectations. ”

Zhang Anshi continued: "What's more, they smuggle commercial goods with such fanfare, involving so many people, Chen is thinking, the reason why there is no rumor at all, it is also possible that there is a group of people behind this...... Specifically for the escort related. ”

Zhu Di nodded, and then said, "You go on." ”

There is another thing, the minister feels extremely strange, this Ningbo prefect Chen Hui committed suicide in fear of crime, which shows that this person is more involved than other people. He was deeply involved, but he didn't find it strange. But the strange thing is that after his term of office expired, he actually went directly to Beijing as a bachelor's student. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The prefect is the fourth grade, and the bachelor is both the fifth grade or the fifth grade, and Chen Hui is also in the name of the young Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, and he also serves as a bachelor. Logically speaking, this is only a flat tone, but Your Majesty ...... Hanlin is a bachelor, plus the false position of a four-grade Shao Zhan Shi, how noble he is, and the prefect of the district, it is not the same day at all. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Di nodded subconsciously.

In the Ming Dynasty, officials were not necessarily divided by grade, and the grade was determined by the number of Yulu.

For example, the prefect seems to be in charge of the government, but at the level of the imperial court, it is simply not in the stream. Even if an ordinary Hanlin editor arrives in a place, the prefect must be careful to receive it.

On the surface, Chen Hui is just leveling, but in fact, it is reasonable to say that he has even risen several levels.

It stands to reason that with this Chen Hui's official position as the prefect of Ningbo, in this life, at most, he will be mixed with an envoy or a political envoy, and it will come to an end.

But he was unprecedented, he was directly transferred to the capital, studying for a bachelor's degree, very noble, and mixing a squire in the ministry in the future is nothing, as for Shangshu, there is also a great possibility.

Coupled with the title of a part-time Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, the gold content is even higher.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, in order to ensure that the princes could succeed smoothly, would stuff a large number of people he approved into the Zhan Mansion.

These people may not be responsible for serving the crown prince full-time, under normal circumstances, they all hold their own positions in the court, but they can hang a false title of Zhan Shifu, in fact, it is the same as that he is the team of His Royal Highness the future prince.

In other words, Chen Hui has completed the leap that nine out of nine people in the Ming officialdom cannot complete. Its degree of difficulty, even if his father is a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, cannot do it.

Zhu Di said: "All the selection of officials above the third grade must be recommended by the court, but the Hanlin official is an exception, only the fifth grade or above, it needs to be decided by the court, you are right...... This kind of thing is not something that can be decided by one person. ”

Saying that, Zhu Di sneered: "Even if it is me, it may not be satisfactory. ”

The rules of Tingtui are very strict, not that the emperor can appoint whoever he wants.

However, once a high-level civil servant is vacant, it is often recommended by other ministers of the third rank or above in the court meeting. The recommended number of people is roughly between two and three people.

The role of the emperor is only to choose one person from among the two or three candidates recommended by the minister.

To be promoted by the court, first of all, you need to be recognized by the majority of ministers, and these ministers are all high-ranking and extraordinary.

Chen Hui's promotion was already very unbelievable, and it can be said to be soaring, but it attracted the attention of many ministers in the DPRK and China, and he was pushed out.

There's a lot to do here.

Because on the surface, the minister only recommended two or three people for the emperor to choose.

But in fact, if the vast majority of ministers want a certain person to be chosen, in fact, basically the emperor has no choice.

The method of their operation is very simple, in addition to Chen Hui, it is enough to push one more person that the emperor does not like.

When the emperor saw the candidate, when he saw Chen Hui's experience, it was lackluster and very mediocre.

But look at another person, oh, it turns out that thorn again, that guy, who scolded me a few days ago.

Well, although the former is mediocre, most of the time, the emperor will obviously choose the latter.

Zhu Di immediately glanced at Yishiha: "Will ...... Chen Hui's court push...... The minutes of the proceedings were taken. ”

Yisha nodded and hurried away.

After a short time, he also lost and returned, and then sent a record.

Zhu Di looked down and immediately remembered, so he said: "It was last year, last year, the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was a vacancy in the Hanlin Academy, and one of the people recommended in the court was this Chen Hui, and there was also Liu Yong, who was the imperial history, but Liu Yong was ......."

When Zhu Di said this, he didn't continue.

Zhang Anshi understood that nine times out of ten, even if Liu Yong had not scolded Zhu Di's mother, at least he had scolded Zhu Di in person for being reckless and martial.

Zhang Anshi didn't ask too much about this question, but said: "In this way, this Chen Hui's connections should not be underestimated, there are quite a few ministers in Tingtui, and they all favor him, and some people even do tricks behind his back to ensure that he can hold this position."

Of course, this is not to say that ministers can have a monopoly on the promotion of all high-ranking ministers.

It is the emperor who really calls the shots. It's just that for Zhu Di, what he really cares about may only be the candidates for a few scholars and squires such as Wenyuan Pavilion scholars, military departments, household departments, and officials.

As for what bachelors, what Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, etc., the emperor didn't care much, and he was not interested in knowing which minister was suitable.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "When you say this, it is true that someone has manipulated the court push, and the reason why you can manipulate the court push is because someone has manipulated the minister." Someone manipulated the minister...... Profiteering? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes. That's what it means. ”

Zhu Di said with a gloomy face: "A Chen Hui, the problems exposed are inevitably too alarmist. But the facts are right in front of me, and I have to believe it. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister has sent people to Ningbo Mansion to touch the melons...... This Ningbo Mansion is ......"

"That's right." Zhu Di nodded: "But Chen Hui has to commit suicide like this, so what about the others?" ”

After a pause, Zhu Di said angrily: "It's only been a few years of hard work, and the rule of officials has been so bad." ”

Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di's expression and said, "It's all to blame Jianwen, Jianwen ......"

Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi: "Jianwen is indeed stupid, but of course I have to take responsibility, now you and I are talking behind closed doors, there is no need to comfort me with these." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is actually more worried about one thing. ”

Zhu Di said: "You say." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is worried, they are now one step ahead of us everywhere, once they perceive the danger, it will inevitably breed trouble, Your Majesty, the dog is in a hurry to jump off the wall." ”

Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, if you let it go like this, it won't work." So what do you suggest? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Ten days, within ten days, you must catch the backbone of this Qin Eucalyptus, if you can't hold it...... What will happen later, the minister is not sure. ”

Even the heartless Zhang Anshi was so worried, and Zhu Di couldn't help but be anxious: "Damn, I still hope that on the battlefield, I will kill happily, like now, the enemy is in the dark, I am in the light, I really fucking teach me a headache." Can it be cracked in just ten days? According to my prediction, these people are not simple, and they are not trivial......

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister can only do his best. ”

Zhu Di sighed and said: "Then do your best, how to do it, I don't ask, I just need you to use all means to find out these dog thieves." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes." ”

Time was urgent, Zhang Anshi didn't stay long, and after clarifying the matter, Zhang Anshi quit the palace.

After Zhang Anshi left, this Zhu Di frowned and thought of ...... This smuggling, so far it seems that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, it seems that they should have heard some rumors, but he, the emperor, is the only one who knows it later.

I'm afraid that the mood at this time is the same as that of Emperor Taizu Gao, who learned about the empty seal.

Once again, I was insulted on the issue of IQ.

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more his heart became blocked, and he called out coldly: "It's also lost." ”

Yizha knew that Zhu Di was in a bad mood and seemed cautious, so he hurriedly said at this time: "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Di said: "You say...... When Emperor Taizu Gao learned about the empty seal, why was he furious? ”

Yisha thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, it's not easy to say that the slave maid is not good, this empty seal, you say that it is favoritism, he is indeed favoritism, but you want to say that this is a malpractice, and it is indeed a malpractice, after all, since the Yuan Dynasty, Beijing officials and local officials have done this." ”

Zhu Di said: "People at the time said that Emperor Taizu Gao killed many people in vain. ”

Yizha said: "No matter whether this matter is a malpractice or not, but such a big loophole involves the issue of taxes and the treasury, and the local officials and the officials of the household department actually treat it as child's play...... In order to satisfy the government's pressure for money and food, he had to ask for loans everywhere, and even sold his ancestral land. ”

"Think about it...... Isn't this the real people's fat and people's ointment? The local officials took it, and the accounts were unclear, and in the name of loss, after being sent to the capital, they couldn't make the accounts, so they directly teamed up with the officials of the household department, and everyone filled in at will, how could this be? Isn't this the same as going to the imperial examination with a cheat sheet? ”

Zhu Di bowed his head and said faintly: "Yes, the imperial examination cannot be cheated, because it is related to the interests of all scholars. ”

Taking a breath, Zhu Di said again: "But this involves the people's fat and people's ointment, and the grain tax of hundreds of people, but everyone thinks that with a blank seal, go directly to the household department to fill it in at will." As long as the account is settled, it doesn't matter how much loss it has in the middle, and how much grain it has trampled by the local government. Emperor Taizu Gao was furious and went on a killing spree, but many people felt unreasonable and thought that Emperor Taizu Gao had killed innocents indiscriminately. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help sneering, and continued: "The ridiculous thing is that if the truth is excusable, Yousi should have reported to Emperor Taizu Gao a long time ago, and Emperor Taizu Gao would formulate a reasonable method according to the situation." But the result? As a result, it turned out that for a full eighteen years, in the name of unreasonable between various prefectures and counties, and the household department, with an official document stamped with an empty seal, dared to come to the capital, and filled in as much grain as they wanted! ”

"I'm thinking...... In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao learned the truth of the matter. I must be as angry as I am now. ”

Yishu said: "Yes." ”

Zhu Di stood up unconsciously, and said with a cold face: "So no matter what...... If they dare to do such a thing, then don't blame me for following Emperor Taizu Gao! Now that I think about it, I have been too kind in the past few years. Into the damn, they seem to have forgotten, what did I start with, Emperor Taizu Gao is Jianghuai cloth, and I was favored by Emperor Taizu Gao, and I was a vassal king at the beginning, but in this world, I also fought with a knife and a gun. ”

Zhu Di said, his face became colder and colder, and his eyes were full of cold light, and he said: "Since someone wants to try whether my knife is sharp or not, then just try it." ”

Yizha was already so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and at this time, he saw a murderous aura from Zhu Di's body.

I saw Zhu Di say again: "If you kill these people, they will know how powerful, right?" “

Although Yisha was frightened in his heart, he still groaned: "Your Majesty, this may not be. ”

Zhu Di glanced at Yishiha, but he didn't expect Yishaha to sing the opposite tune at this time.

Yishu said: "Emperor Taizu Gao is so discerning and decisive, from the founding of Emperor Taizu Gao to Hongwu for eighteen years, is it ...... Are there still fewer officials to kill? But the empty seal eucalyptus has not been concealed for eighteen years, eighteen years...... That's a generation. ”

Zhu Di felt very tightness in his chest, and there was a sense of heroic shortness of breath, but if he also lost his words, it was actually not unreasonable, and those who governed harshly were none other than Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty throughout the ages, but even in the Hongwu period, a number of sensational eucalyptus were still exposed.

On the contrary, in other dynasties, like the great eucalyptus during the Hongwu period, there were not many occurrences, is it because the hundred officials only can't get along with the Hongwu Emperor?

I'm afraid that the reason is that in all dynasties, there are countless eucalyptus similar to empty seals or various colors of eucalyptus, but ...... The other Sons of Heaven did not have the courage to uncover it like Emperor Hongwu.

Zhu Di gritted his teeth and said: "I Ke succeeded Emperor Taizu Gao as the unification, and he should follow the imperial examination, level the world, clarify the rule of officials, and block the death of those who prevent me!" ”

After that, he suddenly came like a cannon: "The specifications of Zhang Anshi's mansion will be expanded, and the specifications of the county king's mansion will be used to add another high wall, and it will be allowed to dig a moat, and in addition, set up thirty-two sentry posts......"

Zhu Di was here, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Set up a thousand households in Annanwei, with a quota of 300 people, to act as his guards." ”

The Marquis was not in the Formation.

Only vassal kings and county kings have such qualifications.

Yizha couldn't help but remind: "I'm afraid that the officials will learn about ......"

Zhu Di's face was undoubted, and he said: "This is my idea, if anyone objects." Teach him to come to me, and I will convince him personally. ”

Yisha didn't dare to say anything more, so he said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Di sighed: "Deng Jian, that guy, dare to open this lid and come out, it must be Zhang Anshi's waist to support him." Zhang Anshi dared to get rid of such a big eucalyptus, because he was holding on to those rebellious ministers and thieves. Those chaotic ministers and thieves are involved in their lives, how can they be arrested? Originally...... There are also people who assassinate me. If Zhang Anshi has any accidents, who else dares to ...... Pioneer for the king? ”

"This matter, step up and do a good job, Annanwei Thousand Households, all the Thousand Households, three hundred households, as well as the General Banner, the Small Banner, the school captain, etc., all let Zhang Anshi agree on it himself, and if there is a candidate, just report to me here."

Yisha said: "Obey." ”

On the other side, Zhang Anshi returned to Qixia non-stop, and then he was so anxious that people immediately looked for Chen Li and Zhu Jinlai.

saw Zhu Jin, but he pulled him aside and explained.

Zhu Jin was pleasantly surprised: "Master Hou...... Let's ......"

Zhang Anshi patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, now is not the time to be happy, go and do it, use your life well." ”

Zhu Jin's eyes flashed, and he said excitedly: "The little one will go to Zhang Luo." ”

Waiting for Zhu Jin to leave, Zhang Anshi instructed Chen Lidao: "You have to go to Ningbo Mansion in person." ”

Chen Li didn't ask much, so he simply nodded and said, "Ningbo Mansion... I went in person, but only on this side of the capital. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Don't worry about the capital, you can solve the Ningbo Mansion, and there may be danger in this trip, you have to be careful and careful, send more capable lieutenants to go, stay in a hotel on the road, be more careful, to prevent someone from poisoning, even if you live in a post station, don't be careless, this post station may not be safe." ”

Chen Li said: "I know it. ”

After explaining, watching Chen Li leave quickly, Zhang Anshi put his hands behind his back, looking at this empty small hall, Zhang Anshi's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help muttering: "Ten days...... Ten days ......"

There can be no eyebrows for ten days, and when the other party is completely ready, it will be completely out of the control of the Inner Thousand Households.

In the past ten days, I am afraid that Deng Jian's recital and Zhang Anshi suddenly began to target smuggling, and many people should not have reacted.

Even if he reacts, he is still in a state of shock.

This is the best time, and once the time is over, you may have to face an opponent who is already ready.

In the evening, Zhang Anshi was on duty and returned to Zhang's house in the inner city, and he began to unload his armor out of breath.

To be honest, now he is wearing a piece of armor in the unicorn suit, which is still quite heavy, although Zhang Anshi's limit is to set two pieces, under the desire to survive, he can actually act as usual.

Seeing Zhang Anshi come back, Xu Jingyi greeted him early in the middle hall, and smiled softly: "Husband, just now someone from the palace is here." ”

Zhang Anshi said in surprise: "Ah...... Why didn't I know? ”

Xu Jingyi smiled and said, "Husband is not an immortal, how can he know everything?" They read out the will, and the quasi-husband built a mansion with the courtesy of the county king, not only that, but also added the Annan Wei Thousand Households Office to protect the husband and the Marquis of Annan. ”

Zhang Anshi was so shocked that his jaw couldn't close: "What's the matter, what kind of illness is Your Majesty?" ”

As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and looked left and right vigilantly.

Knowing this sudden news is really more surprising than knowing that Zhu Di is running naked!

The marquis uses the county king ceremony, which can be said to directly surpass the etiquette regulations of the Ming Dynasty, even if Zhang Anshi is dead now, the specifications that can be used will be at most the duke level.

Xu Jingyi looked at Zhang Anshi's surprised reaction, and said: "Your Majesty said it personally, and also said that you are in the office, so I won't bother you, I only send a decree to the house, and I am a concubine...... The purpose of going to pick up. ”

No matter what the reason is, this is a good thing, Zhang Anshi was already rubbing his hands excitedly: "This is so embarrassing, in this way, our Zhang family, there are generations of guards?" ”

Xu Jingyi smiled and said, "What about more than 300 mouths......"

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Raising is not a problem, can't our Zhang family still afford it?" These three hundred guards are not a problem either. The problem is that this is a gift from His Majesty, and I am a person who values feelings, and His Majesty is so loving that he teaches me to rejoice in my heart. ”

Xu Jingyi said: "Where does the husband plan to recruit these three hundred people?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, this is troublesome, people can be stored in the model camp for training, but where do the personnel come from?" I'm not familiar with the military. ”

Xu Jingyi smiled and said, "My father is very familiar." ”
