Chapter Ninety-Two: You Don't Even Want to Call Me a Grand Duke
As long as there is no grain in it, there is no loss, and there is no loss, so it is natural to get a superior evaluation and double allowance...... It's all logical and there's nothing wrong with it.
It's just that the imperial court is making a granary that doesn't contain grain, what is it for? Keeper of the Treasury Officer?
And it's not just one, it's a full eight!
It's ridiculous.
According to the previous Xie Jin, it is estimated that he must write an article to scold and impeach him, so that Xia Yuanji can taste his own power.
But now, Xie Jin is a lot more honest, he bowed down and said: "Xu Tongzheng, do you think you want to impeach Xia Yuanji, let him taste it!" β
Xu Jingchang shook his head slightly, "No." β
"Why?" Xie Jin said: "Now the evidence is conclusive, as long as it is handed over, Your Majesty will definitely send a thunderous wrath, and Xia Shangshu will definitely be responsible at that time." β
Xu Jingchang still shook his head, and looked at Xie Jin with a smile.
Xie Jin had to fall into thought, why not?
This matter can make Xia Yuanji disgraced, but it is still far from bringing down Xia Yuanji!
Even because the autumn harvest is imminent, Zhu Di may be able to suppress this matter, after all, the Son of Heaven has Kyushu Wanfang in his heart, and there are only eight warehouses, how much can be wasted?
There should be priorities, not recklessness.
Xie Jin gradually understood Xu Jingchang's smile, there is indeed great wisdom hidden in it, and if he wants to sit firmly in the position of political envoy, he must master these skills.
"In that case, do you want to let Xia Yuanji go?"
"Spare him?" Xu Jingchang said: "Bachelor Xie, if you are in this position, you must use the court as a chessboard and hundreds of officials as chess pieces, and you need to have a plan to make a move." Directly attack Xia Shangshu, even if you are lucky, you have offended the powerful Hubu Shangshu, what will happen to the budget of the General Administration Department next? β
Xie Jin was stunned for a while, it was true, Xia Yuanji pinched the power of the budget, and no yamen could not help but give face to others, otherwise it was really possible to be slaughtered.
He thought about it again and again before asking: "Xu Tongzheng, what should you do about this?" β
Xu Jingchang laughed, "Naturally, I want to find a character who regards hundreds of officials as enemies, looks for officials all over the world, and can't wait to get a knife in his hand and stain his official uniform red with the blood of hundreds of officials." β
"Jinyi Guard's commander Ji Gang?" Xie Jin blurted out, and then stared at Xu Jingchang in surprise, "Xu Tongzheng, now Ji Gang is a person under your command, is it convenient to attack him?" β
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "You said that he was my subordinate, then you go and ask, is he willing to admit it?" β
Xie Jin couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression changed and changed, and he groaned silently.
Ji Gang is an outlaw with a cool temperament.
Recently, Li Zhigang's case was handled, and a large number of officials were unlucky in his hands, and large local households were also raided by him.
The accumulation of blood evoked everyone's bad memories of the Hongwu Four Major Cases.
But Ji Gang thinks he is the blade of the Son of Heaven, and he takes pleasure in fighting against hundreds of officials.
Zhu Di added the title of Governor of Jinyi Wei to Xu Jingchang, but it would be too naΓ―ve to assume that Ji Gang would obey his orders.
Thinking of this, Xie Jin couldn't help but look at Xu Jingchang...... This thing is a knock on Xia Yuanji, but it is not a warning to Ji Gang.
A good trick to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and fight the cattle across the mountain.
Xu Jingchang's rank is so high that it is boundless, in addition to the five-body throw, it is still the five-body throw, and Xie Jin is about to kneel.
"Xu Tongzheng, the next thing you want to do is to reveal the news to Ji Gang?"
Xu Jingchang smiled on his face, "Master Xie, I won't say how, you think about it and make a plan for me." β
Where is this to make a plan, it is clearly testing yourself.
Xie Jin couldn't help but think of the imperial examination, he started from the county examination all the way, passed five levels, cut six generals, and experienced countless exams. But any exam, I'm afraid it won't be as exciting as today.
Because this is a test of his ability to be an official, if he doesn't answer well, it is estimated that his career will end here.
After thinking about it carefully, Xie Jin thought about it: "For some of the notes submitted to the General Administration, in addition to the six yamen, there are some that can be handed to Jinyiwei and let them choose to verify. I pondered and handed over this matter, along with some other innocuous things, to Ji Gang. Let Ji Gang take the initiative to find evidence, and then stab His Majesty, so that he can stay out of the matter. Even if Xia Yuanji is difficult, it can be said that when the handover was made, the incident was in a hurry and there was no time to verify, so please forgive Xia Shangshu. β
Xu Jingchang nodded with a smile, "That's right, your arrangement is already very appropriate, and I can't do better." But I also want to ask you, if you are Xia Yuanji, is there any way to deal with impeachment? β
This is an additional question, Xie Jin thought for a while, and said helplessly: "To be honest, I can't think of a better way than to ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." β
Xu Jingchang nodded and said, "I can't think of it either, but I know that Xia Yuanji must have it." I can deal with them, it's not that I'm much better than others, but that they are jealous of my identity and don't dare to play too much with me, otherwise, they can't bear the anger of the queen. β
Xu Jingchang paused and said: "Bachelor Xie, I shouldn't have said more, but when it comes to this, I will advise you again, don't think you are smart, maybe your literary talent is world-famous, but your strategy may not be much better than others." β
After Xu Jingchang said this, he got up and patted his buttocks, and said with a smile: "I should go, and the General Administration Department will be handed over to you." β
Xie Jin was shocked, and couldn't help but bow deeply, "Thank you Xu Tongzheng for your guidance, one day, Xie Jin can die safely, all of which are the grace of Xu Tongzheng's reconstruction!" β
Xu Jingchang came out of the General Administration Department and glanced back at this brilliant and brilliant yamen.
In fact, there is another reason why he pushed Xie Jin, Xie Jin is a member of the current cabinet, and he is also the highest official position. With the first assistant of the cabinet concurrently serving as the general political envoy, if a convention can be formed, maybe the prime minister can really be reborn through the general political secretary.
As for what kind of impact it will have on the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jingchang couldn't say it for a while.
Anyway, how about love, how about it...... No one can delay me from listening to the music this time!
"Find me eight, the most famous Qinhuai River. Sing a big drama in Xufu to celebrate my dismissal! β
Throughout the ages, it is the first time that such a chic drama has been played.
Celebrating the dismissal?
Who will believe this!
Be sure to choose a suitable play, otherwise you will offend Dingguo Gong, and this life will be over.
After thinking about it, they really let them find out, it was Xiao He Yuexia chasing Han Xin.
We Xu Tongzheng is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the dry city of the country.
Although he was temporarily dismissed, he would have to be chased back sooner or later.
I have to say that this boss is really good at doing business, and Xu Jingchang gave a double reward of silver.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Zhanji also watched the play.
Master Xie was taken to the General Administration Department by his cousin, and his nightmare was over.
"Uncle Cousin, as long as you don't embarrass Master Xie, I will listen to you for everything." The black boy hugged Xu Jingchang's thigh and rubbed it hard, and he almost threw himself to the ground.
The person selected by the emperor's grandfather can be handled by his cousin, which is simply amazing.
"Your Highness, don't worry, Master Xie probably doesn't have time to take care of you...... That's good news, but I have bad news, would you like to hear it? β
"What's the bad news?" Zhu Zhanji said stupidly.
"The bad news is that after the autumn harvest, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, and Hu Guang, these four will all return to Beijing. Your father is also going to let Hu Yan teach you part-time, and he went to a master, and five came, Your Highness has to come on! β
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, and in the next second, he screamed in the sky, turned his head, and rushed into the room, and then a white Hai Dongqing flew out, followed by a big yellow dog.
Zhu Zhanji pouted and ran, before misfortune comes, let's seize the time and enjoy a better life!
Happiness counts as a day, and happiness for a while is a moment......
Xu Jingchang looked at Zhu Zhanji's back and couldn't help laughing, it's a pleasure to tease the black boy if he has nothing to do.
It's just that some people are destined to have no chance with Lay's, and the news that the General Administration Department "unintentionally" poked out, Jinyiwei has already gotten it, because it is in the capital, it was verified on the same day, eight warehouses, empty, each warehouse is equipped with three official officials, and a number of scribes and errands, a total of almost a hundred people!
This Xia Yuanji claims to be well-managed, so he wastes national funds and people's wealth?
It's hateful!
Ji Gang is preparing to impeach Xia Yuanji, and has already overthrown the former Ministry of Rites Shangshu Li Zhigang, and then won another household Shangshu Xia Yuanji to complete the double kill, which just happened to greatly increase the prestige of Jinyiwei.
Jin Yiwei sharpened his knife here, but Xia Yuanji also got the news.
Okay, this is going on me!
Xia Yuanji hurriedly went to the Ministry of Officials and found Jian Yi directly.
Coincidentally, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Criminal Department, was also there, discussing the punishment of several local officials.
As soon as the three Shangshu met, Xia Yuanji told Ji Gang's actions, and Zheng Ci immediately became furious, "What does he want to do?" The Ming Dynasty became his? The commander of the Jinyi Guard also dared to frame the imperial court, which was simply arrogant! β
Jian Yi muttered: "This matter is not about favoritism, it is just recruiting a few officials in advance...... If the discipline is allowed to come, the yamen of all ministries will not be able to recruit officials, and the government will not be able to implement it in the future...... He is corrupting the national scriptures, and his sin cannot be punished. β
It is worthy of being a secretary of the ministry, and he got to the point at once.
It doesn't matter if anything else, if the various yamen are not allowed to expand their personnel, it will be a violation of heaven, not to mention the increase in the number of warehouses and officials, which is approved by the ministry.
If Xia Yuanji was unlucky because of this, the other yamen would not be able to stay out of it.
Seeing that the two Shangshu were on his side, Xia Yuanji was in a much better mood, "Jian Shangshu, Zheng Shangshu, and Jinyiwei are really arrogant, we are different from them, and we must pay attention to the rules in doing things." Recently, Jinyiwei punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the local households were large, and the money received by my household department was only 50,000 taels...... The rest of the money is gone, and some of it is transferred to the local government to help the victims, which is a matter of course. But more was definitely swallowed by Jinyiwei. This is the real beetle. β
Zheng Ci bowed his head and said: "Indeed, our criminal department has also checked the file, and Jinyiwei handled the case, which is full of loopholes, and there are many places where Zhongliang is framed, and there is no distinction between right and wrong. If Xia Shangshu is willing to expose Jinyiwei's crimes, I will definitely follow. β
Xia Yuanji was slightly stunned, and said: "Impeachment of lawlessness is the duty of the department, and we instigated the official to write a letter, impeach the discipline, embezzle the confiscated proceeds, and frame the innocent." β
Jian Yi paused and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about the crime of framing the innocent, just say that Jinyiwei will fill his own pocket with the money that should be put into the treasury." β
The case approved by His Majesty, at this time, shouting injustice, do you still want to turn it over?
Just attacking discipline and corruption is the best choice.
Xia Yuanji and Zheng Ci immediately nodded and agreed to Jian Yi's suggestion.
Facts have proved that whether it is Jinyiwei or the East Factory and the West Factory...... Their power comes from the Son of Heaven, and they are far from being arrogant enough to write a random decree.
Xia Yuanji and others are also the favored ministers of the Son of Heaven, the three Shangshu have joined forces, and they are the most powerful, and Ji Gang can't bear it.
The wind is surging on both sides, and a vicious fight is imminent.
Xu Jingchang was fishing at home, when someone suddenly came to report, and Ji Gang commanded the envoy to ask for a meeting.
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Come here at this time, isn't it a little late?" Well, I'm kind, let him in. β
After a while, Ji Gang hurriedly ran in, saw Xu Jingchang, and immediately gave a salute.
"The lower official pays a visit to the Duke of Dingguo."
Xu Jingchang held the fishing rod in his hand, but snorted slightly.
Ji Gang was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Dingguo Gong, Xiaguan has ironclad evidence of corruption and perversion of the law in the household department, and I dare to implore Dingguo Gong to hand it over to His Majesty and severely punish Xia Yuanji." β
Xu Jingchang finally put down the fishing rod, "Why should I help you hand it in?" Is it because His Majesty canonized me as the Governor of Jinyiwei? β
Ji Gang nodded subconsciously, but Xu Jingchang sneered: "You don't even want to call me a big governor, I really don't know what I did wrong!" β
