Chapter Ninety-Four: Angry Zhu Di

After eating one fish and three meals, Xu Jingchang slept beautifully, and then got up and went to the noon gate to go to the court.

When Xu Jingchang arrived, the courtiers had basically arrived.

In the midst of the hundred senses, you can feel a strong gap...... Ji Gang, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is famous for his murder, but he can't participate in the early dynasty.

After all, his own command is too low, unless it is a great dynasty and the civil and military are all together, he is qualified to follow behind, bathe in the emperor's grace, and feel the majesty of the heavenly family.

But the problem is that kind of dynasty, the princes are all together, and they can't talk about anything, and they come in vain.

I can't participate in the early dynasty, so I can only rely on my majesty alone, but the question is that His Majesty the Emperor is so busy, why do I have time to see you? Therefore, although the commander of Jinyiwei directly obeys the orders of the Son of Heaven, many times, he has to be subject to the inner court and become an accessory of the East Factory, and this is the reason.

Xu Jingchang is different, as a super-grade national prince, as long as he is in Beijing, he can generally participate in the Chang Dynasty, and he has the title of Zhan Shifu Zhan Shi, and he also has the qualifications to go to the court.

No matter how martial arts he talks, Xu Jingchang can get involved, and no one wants to throw him aside.

What is Power?

That's it!

After all, to be eligible to participate, to be eligible for bargaining.

So when Xu Jingchang arrived, the courtiers were busy greeting him.

Xie Jin even took the initiative to come over, Xu Jingchang smiled at him, things were done well.

Then Xu Jingchang and Xia Yuanji greeted each other, and Lao Xia took the initiative to take two steps forward.

"I can't call Xu Tongzheng anymore, Dingguo Gong, do you think it's better to stay out of the matter?"

Xu Jingchang smiled, "I said Xia Shangshu, the two of us are also old friends, you give me a face, sweep the snow in front of the door, and clean up the door separately, how about you?" ”

Xia Yuanji's eyebrows moved, and he smiled meaningfully: "It stands to reason that I should give the face of the Duke of the Kingdom, but Jinyiwei is too ruthless in greedy ink and scavenging, and the sins are heavy. ”

Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Xia Shangshu, Jinyiwei is really nonsense, I have also thought about it, and I plan to submit all the rosters of Jinyiwei to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and then transfer it to the Ministry of War, which will verify and review it, just like the three major battalions of forbidden armies." ”

Xu Jingchang said, and glanced at Liu Jun, the secretary of the military department not far away, who was listening with his ears pricked up, his heart pounding, and he was overjoyed.

The household department and the Jinyi guard are fighting, and the military department can still pick up a big bargain, which is really unexpected, no one can imagine it!

Including the official secretary Shangshu Jianyi, they were also taken aback, this plan is really a bit moving.

Their rank was much higher than Ji Gang's, and they understood Xu Jingchang's intentions almost instantly...... As long as this is done, the so-called pro-army of the Son of Heaven and Jinyiwei will be included in the control of the courtiers, and the harm will be reduced by at least ninety percent.

In other words, from now on, the treasure knife of the Son of Heaven will no longer be sharp.

Ji Gang ran to kowtow to Xu Jingchang to admit his mistakes, begged hard, and even showed his loyalty, and obeyed his ...... These are all illusory and cannot be grasped.

Even if he is called Xu Jingchang's godfather, if he has the opportunity, he will become a father who is worried, and a father-in-law will be on top and be stabbed by the child.

His loyalty will not be more than that of Lu Bu.

So Xu Jingchang told him that the imperial court was not Liang Shanbo, which is what it meant.

The court is based on rules, not on personal character and prestige, or kindness and faithfulness...... Li Kui's loyalty to Song Jiang only exists in the rivers and lakes, and this is not what the court said.

Ji Gang is very fierce, but why can he be so fierce? Is it just that he is strong?

No, because Jinyiwei can supervise hundreds of officials and arrest lawless, which is where the power lies.

At the same time, Jinyiwei also has its own edict.

Staring, arresting, taking, interrogating, a whole set of processes, Jin Yiwei can be responsible for himself, without having to go through the three law divisions.

Moreover, the commander of the Jinyi Guard can directly face the king and ask for a trial, and he can complete everything by himself without the nodding of other yamen.

It is precisely in this way that Jinyiwei's famous reputation has been created.

Only look at the individual, ignore the whole system, or think that as the Son of Heaven's pro-army, it should be taken for granted that the ox fork is strong, that is only for the trees, not the forest.

Of course, Xu Jingchang wouldn't expect Ji Gang to kneel once and completely become his own dog, isn't that a dream!

He asked for the roster of Jinyiwei, and he had to hand over the roster to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and then submit it to the military department...... is to choke Jinyiwei's neck from the personnel point of view.

From the budget, limit the activities of Jinyiwei.

No matter how powerful the yamen, the budget is always the lifeline.

And the civil officials dislike the Jinyi Guard, in addition to the minions of the Son of Heaven and the secret service, the deeper level is that the Jinyi Guard is not controlled by the civilian officials.

In this court, any uncontrolled force will be excluded and hostile.

Even the officials dared to take advantage of Jingcha and remove Xu Jingchang from the post of political envoy, which was also for this reason.

At this time, Xu Jingchang handed over the key to controlling Jinyiwei, Xia Yuanji, the secretary of the household department, Jian Yi, the secretary of the military department, Liu Jun, and the rest of the important ministers of the dynasty, and quickly reached an agreement.

Don't make trouble, the opportunity is rare, after this village, there will be no such shop.

A conflict of swords and swords was resolved invisibly.

Xu Jingchang talked and laughed with several Shangshu, like friends for many years.

Only Xie Jin, he listened patiently and pondered carefully...... Gradually, I also have experience,

Xu Jingchang became the governor of Jinyiwei, above Ji Gang, in fact, as long as he beat Ji Gang, or change to a more obedient one, he can master Jinyi Wei.

And with Xu Jingchang's status and authority, he can completely turn Jinyiwei into a powerful yamen to compete with the six ministries, and even all kinds of authority, all-encompassing.

A person who can play the general secretary with flowers, mastering the Jinyi Guard, what consequences will be unimaginable!

Maybe His Majesty also wants to see Xu Jingchang's ability, so he will arrange it like this!

However, unexpectedly, Xu Jingchang not only did not accept the offer, but took the initiative to give up part of the control power of Jinyiwei and incorporated it into the court system, so that the military department and the household department could indirectly control Jinyiwei...... Between giving, there is wisdom.

Xie Jin sighed, in addition to admiration, he still admired.

Although Xu Jingchang is disgusted with dogs, he can thrive in the court, occupy a high position, and hold great power, isn't it worth studying hard!

Soon the ministers entered the court and met the Son of Heaven.

Xia Yuanji stood up first, "Your Majesty, in the past few months, Jinyiwei has reported a lot of cases, and there are no less than 100 large official gentry families, but only tens of thousands of silver taels have not been put into the treasury...... The minister implored him to thoroughly investigate the Jinyi Guard, trace his whereabouts, and give an explanation to the imperial court. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "I know about this matter, how are you going to investigate?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty's words, Xu Jingchang, the former political envoy, is shrewd and capable, familiar with government affairs, and now he has been promoted to the governor of Jinyiwei, and he is in charge of Jinyiwei affairs, and it is the most appropriate to track down the whereabouts of Yinliang, which is enough to convince people."

Let the Governor of Jinyiwei go to check Jinyiwei, you Lao Xia can say it!

Who doesn't know that the so-called internal investigation is not to find out something, but to find out nothing.

You Xia Yuanji is aggressive, and you thought that you would be ruthless to Jinyiwei, who would have thought that it would be thunder and rain, and you deceived the feelings of the big guy, do you know?

Zhu Di was also slightly stunned, and then said, "Xu Jingchang, what do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and he is loyal to his duties, and he is doing things for His Majesty. The minister thought that he should ask for Jinyi Wei with martial artists, pay attention to martial virtues, be loyal to the Son of Heaven, and have strict military discipline! The minister planned to immediately check the personnel and make a detailed record. The proceeds of handling the case shall be regarded as those seized before the army, and shall be handed over to the state treasury in full. Within ten days, the ministers will submit the results to the household department, the military department, and the criminal department, please rest assured! ”

Xu Jingchang's words can be described as impassioned and impeccable, making it impossible to refute it, and they can't pick it out if they want to.

Who dares to say that Jin Yiwei can not talk about martial arts?

Is it possible to cheat and sneak attack?

But Zhu Di is not stupid, he quickly realized that the knife in his hand was handed over to the courtiers to pinch half of the handle?

What does that mean?

Want to weaken the wings of the Son of Heaven?

Zhu Di looked at a few more Shangshu, and then looked at Xu Jingchang...... At this time, Zhu Di already had a premonition.

Okay, these things are all together!

Tricks with me!

Zhu Di's brows were deeply locked again and again, and after a while, he finally thought of a way.

"What Xu Jingchang said, there is some truth, and it can be done in this way. However, I have also heard that the household department has opened several more warehouses, which are empty, but more than 20 civil officials have been arranged, and there are scribes and servants below, wasting the state and people's money, and squandering them wantonly, which is very hateful. What should I do if I look at Jinyiwei? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, standing in the position of Jinyiwei, the minister naturally advocates a thorough investigation...... However, after all, the minister has been in charge of taxation, and he has some experience. His Majesty asked for the replenishment of the treasury, but the household department also tried its best to increase the number of warehouses, but it was impossible to collect money and grain, and there was no place to store it. As for the addition of officials, after all, managing a warehouse is also a very complicated matter, involving how to store, how to prevent theft, and how to deal with pests...... These have to be rehearsed in advance, and the minister doesn't know if Xia Shangshu plans to reserve talents in advance, if this is the case, the household department needs to submit a thorough investigation conclusion, and if there are any more problems, His Majesty can arrange for the three law divisions to conduct a detailed investigation. ”

Wonderful!

Xu Jingchang has already found the reason, and then asked the household department to self-check, and after the household department has checked, he will arrange the three law divisions...... At this time, the autumn grain has been harvested, and those warehouses can naturally be filled, and they will become warehouses with outstanding performance.

High, it's really high!

Doing things like this, even Xia Yuanji's hairs can't be hurt.

Reciprocate the peach and exchange with each other, even if the Son of Heaven has a heart, what can he do?

Everything is going well, but Zhu Di is not an ordinary son of heaven after all, if you want to fool me, I also have a way to deal with you!

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have any doubts...... However, the officials are redundant and overstaffed. Not long ago, Yang Rong, the prefect of Suzhou, Yang Shiqi, the prefect of Changzhou, Hu Guang, the prefect of Songjiang, and Jin Youzi, the prefect of Zhenjiang, rectified the localities, dismissed hundreds of officials, and saved 50,000 taels of money...... If the officials of the world can learn from them, how can they spend so much money? In particular, the Ministry of Officials, this year is only in August, and the allowance expenditure is more than last year, which is simply hateful. ”

Zhu Di glared at several important ministers angrily, "You will follow the methods of these four mansions, and give me a careful self-examination, and see how many redundant officials can be laid off and how much expenditure can be left!" If I can't come up with a conclusion, then it's not a big deal, and I'll start with a few of you...... Okay, retreat! ”

Zhu Di snorted and left, leaving a group of stunned courtiers.

It's broken, and something big is happening again.
