Jiajing received a note from the impeachment of Xiao Feng, a scholar in the imperial history, and the reason why it was an impeachment of Xiao Feng, a scholar in Zhongshu, rather than Xiao Feng, a real person in Wenxuan, was because the content of the impeachment was that officials did business privately and competed by official unfair means.

Although real people also have grades, strictly speaking, they are still a little different from officials. The imperial court was not as strict as the officials.

The most unstylish thing is that after winning, he ridiculed the businessman Tan Xinren in public, falling into the well, and making the other party ashamed, which is really not the decent behavior of the saint's disciples and court officials.

This imperial history is quite literary, and a few of the sentences are written very strongly: "The means are insidious, compete with the people, win endlessly, aggressive, as a talent, the saint is despised, as an official, the national law is not tolerated!" ”

Yan Song lowered his eyebrows and stood at the bottom: "Long live, the old minister knows that Xiao Feng is quite loved by Long Life, but the imperial history is justified and well-founded, if you ignore it, I am afraid that the people's grievances will boil and the Qing Dynasty will be in an uproar." Although the official position of Zhongshu Sheren is low, he belongs to the cabinet, and he is a close minister around Banzai, and if he is discussed, it will inevitably affect Banzai's prestige. ”

Jiajing's face was as usual, his eyes were slightly closed, and he said for a long time: "Then hold a small court meeting and discuss it." ”

The candidates for the small court meeting are relatively fixed, generally Yan Song presides, Xu Jie observes, and Lu Bing guards Jiajing. The rest of the ministers, scholars, and attendants, if they are related to the matter under discussion, will join them, and if they are not related, they will not be summoned.

Because this time it is about business, this is the business of the household department, so Pan Huang, the secretary of the household department, and Zuo Shilang talked about the same, so they naturally had to be present. Yan Song also mentioned that this transaction also involved the creation of a view of WTO accession, so Zhao Wenhua, the waiter of the Ministry of Industry, also came, but Li Shixi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was sick.

has Zhao Wenhua, Yan Song's godson, as the left waiter, and there are many times when Li Shijian complains of illness. The old man understands very well in his heart, I can't control you, but Lao Tzu will never give you a black pot! If you do it yourself, you will toss it yourself, and when something happens to you, Lao Tzu will at most admit the leadership responsibility of lax management.

Xiao Feng, the Chinese scholar and the Great Dynasty Meeting, must go to the court, but the small court will not be summoned to come. But today he is the party, so he must come.

After these people arrived, the small pilgrimage meeting officially began. Yan Song first read the bullet seal of the imperial history to everyone, and then sighed and said: "There are many discussions about this matter, and the court still has to make a statement." In the past two years, the imperial court has attached great importance to commerce and encouraged trade, but if the officials of the court and China compete with the people for profit, it will be realized. ”

Zhao Wenhua immediately expressed his support: "And the business territory of Xiao She people involves a wide range, from the grain store to the construction team, what I know is the personal behavior of Xiao She people, and those who don't know think it is instructed by the imperial court." ”

Tan Tong was eager to add to the fire, but seeing that Pan Huang had no movement, he was not like Zhao Wenhua after all, Shangshu did not come, and Shilang was the king, so it was not good to be too arrogant, so he had to keep silent.

Jiajing looked at Xiao Feng: "Xiao Sheren, what do you say?" "Today's summoning of Xiao Feng is for the sake of competing with the people for profit as an official, so Jiajing's attitude is also very clear, and he directly calls for an official position.

Xiao Feng was also very cooperative, and immediately changed his name: "Long live, there are many things that the lower officials don't know, and I want to ask you for advice." ”

Jiajing nodded, Xiao Feng turned around and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Ming Law stipulates that officials above a few grades are not allowed to do business?" ”

Everyone present is familiar with the Da Ming Law, but no one wants to speak, because they all know that this is a loophole. However, Yan Song had already prepared, he signaled, and Zhao Wenhua immediately jumped out.

"Although the Daming Law stipulates that no business is allowed above the fourth grade, in fact, over the years, as long as it is an official, he has disdained to participate in business and compete with the people for profit! It's all because we and other officials are all scholars, farmers and businessmen, one end and one tail, how can there be a reason to be both the head and the tail? ”

Zhao Wenhua knew that Xiao Feng was going to quote the law of Da Ming to explain that he was not in violation of the rules in business, so he used the morality of a scholar to plug this loophole in advance. This is a typical example of you talking to me about law, and I talking to you about morality.

It's a pity that Xiao Feng's understanding of this sophistry came from later generations, and directly crushed him for centuries: "Lord Zhao, I haven't done business, it's just that Zhang Tianci thanked me for helping him turn over with Taoism, and thanked me with share capital, how could I have participated in the operation of any of his shops?" ”

Zhao Wenhua hurriedly grabbed the handle in Xiao Feng's words: "Although you are not directly involved in the operation, you also said that you will help him with Taoism, this is the background of being a businessman, how is it different from doing business by yourself?" ”

Xiao Feng glanced at Zhao Wenhua in surprise, and then looked at the same thing: "Is this so?" Not long after the official joined the office, he really didn't know anything about it. It's just that Zhao Shilang and Tan Shilang live a very nourishing life by being a businessman's backstage, so they see the sages and think about learning a thing or two, is this not right? ”

Everyone present looked at Xiao Feng with different expressions, and Zhao Wenhua and Tan Tong almost rolled their eyes. Without waiting for Zhao Wenhua to speak, he didn't care about the etiquette of his subordinates, and jumped out directly to meet Xiao Feng over Pan Huang.

"Presumptuous! You're spewing blood, how have I ever been a businessman's backstage? Glancing at Zhao Wenhua, in line with the principle of helping each other in the same boat, he added, "How could Zhao Shilang have been a businessman's backstage?" ”

Yan Song saw that the flames of war were burning on Zhao Wenhua's head, and he also stood up and said: "Xiao Sheren, you are now deliberating as an official, you should be careful when you speak, don't bite others at will!" ”

Zhao Wenhua saw that his godfather helped him out, and his courage suddenly increased, he expected to talk about Xinren and hate Xiao Feng to the bone, even if there was any evidence such as account books, it was impossible for Xiao Feng to see it, and he said angrily at the moment: "That is, if you have evidence, take it out, if you can't take it out, slander the second-grade officials of the dynasty, do you know what crime to be guilty of?" ”

Jiajing quietly watched these people arguing, and did not make a sound, and even narrowed his eyes thinner than before, but Huang Jin knew that he was already angry in his heart, but he was not sure which side it was on. Huang Jin saw that the smoke from the incense burner had become a little thinner, so he quickly opened the lid of the stove and put a small piece of ambergris incense into it.

A refreshing fragrance came out of the incense burner, which made Jiajing's mood a lot better, he took a deep breath, and the cigarette smoke was swirling, looking very fairy-like and dusty.

Xiao Feng smiled: "There are too many evidences, so I won't list them all." I just want to ask one thing, what is the purpose of sending a Langzhong from the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry to collect glutinous rice in the grain stores and construction teams in the capital? ”

This...... Zhao Wenhua and Tan Tong were speechless at the same time, they thought that Xiao Feng would talk about Xinren's annual distribution of profits to them, they were confident that there was no evidence for this kind of thing, even if Tan Xinren kept the accounts, they could not admit the unilateral account, but they didn't expect Xiao Feng to let them explain this matter.

The two looked at each other for a while, and finally talked about each other and stood up to speak, because he spoke a little better, Zhao Wenhua was a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and he definitely didn't buy glutinous rice to eat, and he almost didn't recruit himself. After all, the household department is in charge of money and food, and there is still some reason.

"This glutinous rice thing is because, this, yes! Because the price of glutinous rice in the market is too high, the household department manages the world's money and grain, so it is naturally responsible to investigate, and also has the responsibility to buy and sell in the official name to stabilize prices! ”

Tan Tong wiped his sweat, and he was very proud of his wit. Zhao Wenhua and Yan Song glanced at him silently, and secretly praised his wit.

Xiao Feng sighed: "Since this is the case, then it must be a request to act?" ”

Since it is the official action of the Ministry of Households, it is reasonable to take action after asking for instructions, especially if it is necessary to use money to acquire it. He looked at Yan Song for help.

Because he knew that it was useless to look at Pan Huang at this time, although Lord Shangshu came, in fact, it was no different from the attitude of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Jiajing didn't ask directly, he would never say a word.

Yan Song was helpless, so he had to speak again: "Long live the day, such a trivial matter, don't need to trouble long live, the cabinet just knows." ”

Xiao Feng sighed again: "I see, as a member of the Zhongshu House, Xia Guan also has the right to read cabinet documents, but he has not seen this recital, could it be that this recital was secretly given to Lord Shoufu?" Such a trivial matter, I don't think it will come. ”

Yan Song's face was tense, he knew that Xiao Feng was chasing so tightly, he couldn't fool him with lies. Because the recitals sent to the cabinet have archival records, if he says that he has seen this recital, in case Xiao Feng asks to see the records more seriously, and Jiajing also follows more truthfully, then Jiajing can see that he lied for this little thing and lost his sacred heart, which is more than worth the loss.

"This matter is really small, so the household department did not go to the chapter, but just told the old man, and the old man asked them to handle it first. This right, as the first assistant, the old man still has it. ”

When Yan Song said this, he was already taking a risk. He knew in his heart that although Jiajing pushed all state affairs to the cabinet, he was very concerned about the right to know. I can leave it alone, but you can't hide it from me.

But in addition, he couldn't think of a better way in a hurry, he peeked at Jiajing, I don't know if it was a mental effect, I always felt that the cigarette was swirling, and Jiajing's calm and gentle face seemed a little stiff.

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "It turns out that now I have been so flexible in doing things, this kind of thing that alarms the entire capital, just say hello to the head of the cabinet and the head of the cabinet, such a high efficiency, why worry that I am not prosperous, and the lower officials are only shallow in learning, and I have been taught today, I admire and admire." ”

As soon as these words came out, even if there was no illusion, everyone felt that Jiajing's face seemed to be a little stiff.

Yan Song was anxious and angry, in fact, he was in a hurry, and there was no big problem with what he said, if this matter did not involve other things, it was indeed not a big matter, although it was not right for the household department to not have a chapter, but it was not a big mistake; I didn't tell Jiajing, and it wasn't a big mistake.

But there are some things that cannot be said, and Jiajing's unwillingness to take care of the affairs of the DPRK and China is known to everyone, but it must not be said in the open.

It's like you fought 300 rounds with people last night, and you can do as many poses as you want, but when you get it to the public, it's shameless and indecent.

Especially with Yan Song's identity, even if others can say this, Yan Song must not say it. You are the head of the cabinet, you say that you don't need to tell Jiajing about trivial matters, you are pointing at Jiajing's nose to tell everyone, Jiajing is lazy, Jiajing is waste, and without Lao Tzu to manage the court for him, he is nothing. And you see how awesome Lao Tzu is, he doesn't even go through the normal procedures, and he has to do things when he says hello!

It's like you not only described in detail the various postures of your 300 rounds of battle, but the key is that your identity is not your husband, but the king next door. Will such people be left without being killed?

Yan Songwan didn't expect that in order to relieve Tan Tong, he would lose so much, he was furious, but he couldn't tell Xiao Feng, who was innocent and curious, so he had to glare at Tan Tong fiercely, and he was trembling.
