Chapter 278: Cai You's Little Abacus
"Good! Jiang Chen's performance is very good! The minister seconded the proposal! ”
Zheng Juzhong glanced at Jiang Chen appreciatively, and immediately echoed his words.
"The old minister also seconded the proposal!"
He Zhizhong smiled, and immediately turned his anger into joy.
He never thought that Jiang Chen would cut off most of Cai Jing's money bag with one sword, and the timing was so accurate.
couldn't help but gloat at Cai Jingdao:
"Cai Xiang is dedicated to the country and the people, such a good proposal that can not only clear redundancy, but also benefit the country and the people, I think I will definitely not oppose it, right?"
Uh-
Damn little traitor, are you going to die like Ben?
Cai Jing looked at Jiang Chen with a depressed face, no matter how he calculated, he felt that he had lost a lot.
Cai You thought that this matter was very beneficial to himself, so he smiled and said: "Now that He Su has left Beijing, Lan Congxi has died, Jia Shen is bedridden, Tong Guan is busy with envoys to Jinguo, and the departments and bureaus have long been left without the person in charge."
Rather than indulging in disorder, it is better to cancel it and assign its functions to the three divisions and the Royal Chamber of Commerce!
Especially in the Jiangnan Bureau, this official heard that it has already become a tool for Zhu Mian's private wealth, and if it is abolished, it will definitely win the hearts of the people for the imperial court and reduce civil unrest, which is really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone! ”
Cai You didn't care that Jiang Chen would expand his power because of this, because Jiang Chen was too young and had no qualifications to compete with him for the phase, so he was happy to pursue a win-win situation.
As for stabbing Zhu Mian by the way, it is to show an attitude, so as not to be implicated by Zhu Mian in the future.
"What Lord Cai said is very reasonable! The minister seconded the proposal! ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
A number of ministers chimed in.
Wang Hao, Bai Shizhong and others remained silent.
Jiang Chen's proposal, to put it bluntly, was to abolish the bureaus in charge of the operation of the eunuchs in the palace, and reassign the power to the inner treasury and the household department.
Although this move will damage the interests of Cai Jing's many palace henchmen, it will be beneficial and harmless to Wang Huang and them, and they are all happy to see it.
Seeing this, Cai Jing immediately guessed everyone's careful thoughts, glared at Cai You angrily and said: "Scholar Cai is really seeking the country, and he has no objections!" ”
"Good! Then the matter is so decided, go back to Liangchen and Ju An (Cai Youzi) to write a detailed recital! Song Huizong thought that Cai You was very reasonable, and agreed directly.
"The disciple (minister) obeys the order!"
Jiang Chen and Cai You glanced at each other, and at the same time thanked each other.
Jiang Chen thought that the matter would come to an end, but he didn't want Cai You to smile at the sudden sideways:
"Jiang Shaoqing, after hearing that many large and small poles were caught, they casually climbed and bit them in order to survive, which made many courtiers implicated. I don't know if there is such a thing? ”
"Whether it is climbing and biting, the lower officials are not sure! However, many of the reported officials' homes have found secret passages connected to the underground, and even imprisoned civilian women. ”
Jiang Chen replied with a smile on his face.
He knew Cai You's intentions, but he just wanted to turn this matter into a small matter, so as to buy people's hearts and take over Cai Jing's political legacy.
But even if he knew the truth that the law does not hold the people accountable, he would never compromise so easily.
"The secret passage doesn't mean anything! Any wealthy mansion digging a few meters deep will reveal the remains of the previous dynasty, which is a well-known thing in Bianjing.
As for the discovery of the imprisoned women, it is necessary to ask the confessions of the women before they can be convicted.
Otherwise, if those women were just slave girls they bought back from the human teeth, wouldn't they have caught the wrong good people? ”
Cai You's attitude was kind and tepid.
But the intention of exculpating those criminals is very obvious and undisguised!
