Chapter 289: Disaster Strikes, Fly Separately
Wang Shouren has recently made a lot of noise in the officialdom of Fuzhou, and he, the prefect who took office temporarily, has a total of 10 prefects under his command, and during this period of time, none of these 10 people have been able to live in peace.
Anyway, they were called over by Wang Shouren every three or five days, and then held the Ming Law and strictly ordered them to collect taxes and grain as soon as possible. The magistrate can naturally shirk and disobey for various reasons, but if the boss wants to scold you, this is always okay. To scold is to commit the following crimes.
Wang Shouren is a person brought by the governor, and if he really investigates the following criminals, as long as the governor nods, the magistrate can go to prison, and there is no need to go to the court.
So the 10 magistrates took turns to be trained,
So these people scolded Wang Shouren in their hearts every day, and then squeezed out a smile and went to the prefect's yamen to be scolded.
When a few people discuss together, they will unanimously say: Look at how proud you are, you are going to die in a hurry!
A few days later, other prefectures and states also heard about the situation.
"When I heard that the new prefect was so anxious that he was about to burn his eyebrows. But in Changle County, Pingnan County, and Fuqing County, none of them can really receive tax grain. I look at him, he is grabbing his eyebrows and mustaches, and he only knows how to use brute force, but the result is that the movement is big, and the effect is not much. ”
In Fuzhou, Kong Rui in Jianning Prefecture and Lu Mengguang in Yanping Prefecture are actually also watching, if Fuzhou can't get it down, it will be even more difficult for them to complete the task, and it is normal for them to fail to complete the task.
Even if the governor and the political envoy blame it, there is Fuzhou in front of them. The fact that none of you have been able to collect food shows that there are indeed difficulties, and it is not that we people are uncooperative.
Lu Mengguang was in a happy mood, "I know this person." The son of Wang Hua, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, was demoted to Guizhou as a post officer in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, relying on the shadow of his father's generation, he was restored to the position of the head of the military department. I think when we first came, we would have a headache when we met the magistrate who cooperated with you openly and secretly opposed you, and now everyone is doing this with him, of course he is in a hurry. ”
It is indeed very logical to say this.
Past experience, realistic performance...... A perfect fit.
So the atmosphere in the room is still relatively relaxed, although they are all like great enemies, but they don't have to be tense all the time, and they still have to smile when they encounter good news.
Zhang Yiwen was relatively restrained, he said: "Your Majesty, the lord of Yingduan, sent someone to Fujian, it should not be a random simple faction, what is the situation of this person, we still have to continue to see." ”
Kong Rui, the prefect of Jianning Mansion, was quite complacent, "In short, let's drag it out like this for a while." Now that the summer grain can't be harvested, there is no urgency for one day, no hurry for two days, and there will always be a hurry for three days. When the time comes, whether it is the governor or the political envoy, they will not be able to explain to His Majesty. Your Majesty will remember so many notes about the impeachment of Fengxi before. As soon as His Majesty doubts them, their death is near. ”
In fact, there is nothing wrong with such a plan.
On the other hand, it is already August now, and what happened in July in Beijing will basically be known in Fujian.
Between the laughter and laughter,
Suddenly came in a small house, walking in small steps, looking a little anxious, he touched Zhang Yiwen's side, leaned into his ear and said something.
Kong Rui and Lu Mengguang were both drinking tea, making it look like they were not eavesdropping, and they really couldn't hear it.
But only listening to the sound of 'Kuacha', Zhang Yiwen stood up and then fell down again and hit the table and chair placed beside him, and the sound of hula continued, attracting the attention of Kong and Lu.
When I looked up at Zhang Yiwen again, I saw that his face was pale, his lips trembled, his face was frightened, and he was in chaos.
"What's wrong with Boss Zhang? Is something big wrong? ”
"Did Wang Shouren do something?" Lu Mengguang scolded the little guy, "Help your master get up!" Boss Zhang, don't panic, you tell us what happened! Let's figure it out together. ”
“…… Person. People have been caught! Zhang Yi was hoarse when he heard this, as if the strength in his body had been drained.
"Who? Who was caught? ”
"The people of Kyori!"
Kong and Lu glanced at each other, the people in Beijing?
The people in Beijing were arrested, but Zhang Yiwen reacted like this...... Could it be?
"Is it Taifu Temple?!"
Zhang Yitian, a member of the Zhang clan!
This person is a four-rank official, and the actual power of the Taifu Temple is growing under the rule of the current saint, and the officials in it are all within the sight of the emperor, as long as they perform well, the future will not be bad.
is like the former servant Siqing Liang Chu, who is now the left servant of the ministry.
In comparison, Kong Rui and Lu Mengguang, the same four-rank officials, are much worse than those of Taifu Temple. There are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many prefects and prefectures, and a few of them are known by the emperor.
For ordinary people, if there is an official in the family who serves in the Taifu Temple, then it can properly escort the family, and there will be no problem.
Because the magistrate will consider the question of whether this person will be promoted in the future, once he transforms himself into a Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, or some kind of waiter, it will be completely different.
Zhang Yi burst into tears when he heard this, "Who else could there be besides him?!" ”
Kong Rui asked urgently: "Do you know why?" If it is not a big mistake, it should be possible to find a way to remedy it. Brother Yitian served in the Taifu Temple, and most of his colleagues in it were familiar with each other, and he usually treated people generously and righteously. For example, Taifu Siqing and Shaoqing are all officials often summoned by His Majesty, and His Majesty also trusts them, if they can intercede, Brother Yitian may be able to turn the crisis into safety! ”
"Not bad!" Lu Mengguang also agreed, "Boss Zhang don't be in a hurry first, he always wants to figure out the problem." And this news also needs to be reconfirmed. His Majesty attaches great importance to Taifu Temple, and the officials who can be selected are also talented and virtuous, since ancient times, Mingjun cherishes talents, and Brother Yitian is even more steady, and whether it is true is not known at the moment! ”
"This is also true, this is also ......" Zhang Yiwen continued to mutter, and he was indeed panicked at that moment just now.
After all, this matter is too a bolt from the blue, once Zhang Yitian is arrested, it will not be his business alone. The whole family will be affected by this.
Business will be snatched up by other people with official backgrounds......
It is unlikely that he himself will have a dialogue with the dignified prefect of the imperial court in such a posture as today.
To be honest, he is a businessman, not Zhang Yitian, without the background of the government, why should he gain a foothold here?
Zhang Yiwen asked the little guy next to him, "Say it again, how did the news come about?" Why was the old man arrested?! ”
The little guy was also scared, and said tremblingly, "Our people only said that the eldest master was arrested very suddenly, and they are still inquiring about anything specifically." Compared with the past, the eldest master actually didn't do anything special, it was nothing more than a letter of impeachment against Feng Xi. As for whether it is accurate, the villain can't confirm it, and the villain just relays what we said to the master. ”
】
Zhang Yiwen's face was not relaxed, this thing didn't seem to be fake.
It is impossible to misconvey this kind of information by mistransmitting anything.
"This plump cripple!" Boss Zhang knocked on the wooden table hard, "It must be that he said something on His Majesty's side." Blinded His Majesty. This is blatant revenge! A dignified political envoy actually did such a thing! ”
Kong and Lu were also shocked when they heard this, "Feng Cripple is too ruthless, even if he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven who came out of the attendant's room, but his style of action should not be so domineering, that is, if he doesn't like him at all, he will beat people to death?" ”
"Now it's what he says and what His Majesty believes. As a courtier, he should have persuaded His Majesty to reduce taxes and punishments, but he was good enough to take revenge for personal gain. Zhang had a grudge against him, so he took revenge on Brother Yitian in Beijing. But what does Fujian have to do with Brother Yitian, who is far away in Beijing? If you are so narrow-minded, you must be a traitor! ”
A few of them squirted a few words like this, but emotions couldn't solve the problem.
Zhang Yiwen thought about it, but he still punched Kong Rui and Lu Mengguang and gave his hand, "Confucius Fuzun, Lu Fuzun, the matter of the arrest of the clan brother, I still implore the two of you not to spread it." If there is someone who can help the villain, I also implore the two lords to help, great kindness, and the villain is unforgettable. If there is anything that needs to be served, the villain will never refuse. ”
This is already very blatant.
Kong and Lu naturally put on an official stand, and sighed softly, "In the Beijing Division, I also have some classmates. Let me write a letter first. If you can help, then it is natural to pull a hand and support each other, which is the proper meaning. Boss Zhang, if you don't get here today, we won't bother you for now. In short, don't panic about big things. ”
The two of them left with the excuse of 'letting him get busy slowly', but in fact there was already a sense of distance.
No matter how righteous Kong Rui and Lu Mengguang said, the news that Zhang Yitian was suddenly arrested in Beijing is really a bit shocking.
Because the timing was too coincidental.
These two people went outside, and they had to perform again.
Lu Mengguang said: "Brother Kong, according to my brother, Zhang Yitian is more than lucky this time, if you want to go to the yamen of the governor's mansion one day, you must remember to pull my brothers and me together." ”
Kong Rui was quite helpless, flicked his sleeves and said, "When the mountain rain is about to come, you still have to be suspicious of each other with me?!" ”
"What are you going to do here?" Lu Mengguang pursed his mouth and motioned to Zhang's in the room.
Their minds were simple, it seemed that something was going to happen to Zhang...... When disaster comes, who will save him at this time?
"For the time being, we're going too far, and he'll be quick to explain to us. Let's think of a way. ”
Zhang Yiwen is also complicated here.
At this time, there was news of the arrest in Jingli, which was obvious that the imperial court had an opinion on the Zhang family. Zhang Yiwen smiled, he was too arrogant, how could the imperial court care about him as a small merchant family?
Without the power of the government, he will not be able to eat anywhere next. Kong Rui and Lu Mengguang are not good people, and they are probably thinking about how to get out.
At this time, Zhang Yiwen thought of the political envoy's yamen and the governor's mansion......
