Chapter Seventy-Seven: The case is confusing, and the Ministry of Industry selects talents

It's messy!

It's all messed up!

It's all messed up!

The eunuch Huai En, the eunuch in charge of the seal, was poisoned and killed in the Beizhen Fusi prison, and the great responsibility was naturally Zhu Ji, the commander of the Jinyi Guard in charge of the Beizhen Fusi, and the biggest suspect turned out to be the British Gongzhang Mao.

In terms of motives, Xu Pu, who is close to Huaien, has a major motive for committing the crime.

At this point, civil officials, internal supervisors, Wu Xun and Jinyi Wei are all involved, and this will become a big case that will cause a sensation throughout the country.

When Zhu Ji saw Huai'en's death, his face immediately turned like earth, and he immediately looked at the sumptuous meal and said angrily: "Where did these meals come from? ”

"This ...... This table of food was arranged by Cheng Baihu for the villain to send someone to the Four Seasons Restaurant to come! The cell boss knew that he was in danger, so he reported it truthfully.

Zhu Ji's brows furrowed slightly, and he confirmed: "Cheng Yi? ”

"Dereliction of duty, please punish them!" Cheng Yi knew that he couldn't hide it, so he stood up and admitted his mistake.

Zhu Ji watched this second-generation official break into such a big disaster, and wanted to step forward and kick it hard, but thinking that his position might not be guaranteed, he suppressed the anger in his chest and said: "Mu Bin, you immediately take someone to seize the Four Seasons Restaurant!" ”

"Zhu Ji, I'm afraid the Four Seasons Restaurant will not be able to be sealed!" Taining Hou Chen Huan had been watching from the next door, and then he used his little thumb to dig into his earwax and speak.

Zhu Ji knew that these native-born martial artists were well-informed, so he was puzzled: "Why? ”

"That's the Zhang family's industry!" Zhenyuan Marquis Gu Pu hurriedly replied.

Zhu Ji quickly screened the officials surnamed Zhang from the cabinet to the sixth ministry, and immediately said in confusion: "Which Zhang family?" ”

"Zhang Siqing!" Taining Hou Chen Huan blew off the earwax between his fingernails, and he gave a direct answer.

Zhu Ji snorted lightly with disdain, but soon realized his surprise in hindsight: "Hmph! A small Siqing, why don't you dare to ...... Zhang Luan? ”

"Exactly!" Taining Hou Chen Huan's smile was very bright.

Honglu Temple Siqing is naturally not worth mentioning, but this Zhang Siqing is the father of the crown princess, and he will be canonized as the queen when he officially changes the yuan next year, and he will soon become the national master of the Ming Dynasty.

The onlookers next to him watched the development of the situation, and couldn't help but complain secretly: What is this called, a case has surrounded all the powerful people at that time.

Mu Bin has now been demoted to a hundred households in brocade clothes, but he turned his head to look at Zhu Ji and asked, "What should I do now?" ”

"Naturally, the Four Seasons Restaurant will be sealed, but you should be polite to people!" Zhu Ji pondered for a while, and then made a decision.

He can't take care of so much now, although this case was caused by Cheng Minzheng's son's dereliction of duty, but the real responsibility is himself, and this case must find out the murderer behind the scenes as soon as possible.

Especially last night, Wynne was almost strangled to death in the cell and has not yet been investigated, and now he was poisoned by someone, so he has to give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation for this matter.

"Lord Zhu, please hand over Huai'en to the miscellaneous family, Your Majesty wants to see Huai'en!" A eunuch from Dongchang came to find Zhu Ji, looking very arrogant.

Zhu Ji originally wanted to hide it first, and then report the murderer to the top, but he never expected that His Majesty would send someone over to ask for someone, and he was suddenly a big one.

"Master Zhu, inexplicably you can't learn from Zhou Lie's resistance?" The eunuch of Dongchang saw that Zhu Ji was indifferent, and asked dissatisfiedly.

Zhu Ji saw that the matter could no longer be hidden, so he could only play according to the facts.

Wynne did not die on the noose of the assailant last night, but was poisoned by the traitor, and the most suspected people were the British Gong Zhang Mao and the Honglu Temple Qing Zhang Luan.

Forbidden City, the square in front of the canopy hall.

Since the last time he achieved remarkable results in selecting talents through examinations, Zhu Youzhu has extended this method of selecting talents to the other five departments, and the Ministry of Industry is the last yamen.

It's not that the Ministry of Industry and the Yamen are not important, the fact is the opposite, but that the Ministry of Industry is valued by Zhu Youji, so it is cautious to come up with the questions, and the examination will not start until today.

The Ministry of Industry has one Shangshu, two waiters, and four Qing officials under the camp, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian, each of which has one person in Langzhong and one person outside the staff, and two directors.

Shangshu is in charge of the world's hundred officials and the decrees of the mountains. The business manager is in charge of the business and the work; Yu Heng is in charge of the collection and cultivation of mountains; The water department is in charge of the affairs of the river, the wave pool, the bridge, the boat, the weaving, the coupon deed, and the weights and measures; The Tuntian Division is in charge of the affairs of tun planting, extraction, charcoal, husbandry, and graves.

"Ministers knock to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, led a group of officials of the Ministry of Industry into the hall and knelt down respectfully.

If you say that because of the rumors that the new monarch was in the prince earlier, you may have contempt for this new monarch who is gracious and unpretentious, but after the turmoil of seizing the door, you can only be in awe of this kind of resolute new monarch.

Especially yesterday's beautiful wave of killings, now that the military power of the Beijing camp has been firmly grasped by this new monarch, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods may have to clamp their tails and be people.

Zhu Youji, who was sitting on the throne, looked at these respectful officials of the Ministry of Industry with great satisfaction, and asked lightly to Jia Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, "Lord Jia, have you ever ruled the river?" ”

"Although the minister has not ruled the river, if His Majesty has an order, the minister will definitely go to the soup!" Jia Jun's old face was straight, and he immediately said with a righteous attitude.

Although he is over sixty years old this year, he is an old brick of the Ming Dynasty. As long as this emperor is in need, then he has to provoke this work and take charge of the work of governing the river.

Chen Zheng and other officials couldn't help but roll their eyes, this old man coughed every day, as if he had tuberculosis. Just now, it seems that he secretly ate a hundred years of ginseng so that he didn't cough here, and he still has a swollen face here to make a fat man.

Zhu Youzhu naturally wouldn't use an old man with no experience in river control to be in charge of river control, so he looked at the officials present and asked: "Ladies and gentlemen, you are like Master Jia, who is willing to go to the soup for me to govern the river!" ”

"The ministers are willing to go to the soup for Your Majesty to control the river!" The eyes of Chen Zheng and other officials of the Ministry of Industry lit up slightly, and they hurriedly expressed their loyalty.

Zhu Youzhu knew that there was naturally no shortage of people who were loyal to him for his position, so he turned his head to look at Jia Jun and said, "Lord Jia, you were originally from a noble background, do you know that among the two people in Jiuqing Tingtui, I still chose you as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry?" ”

The officials were slightly stunned at first, and then looked up at Emperor Hongzhi in shock.

I thought that Jia Jun would be able to serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, because he hugged Liu Ji's thigh last time, but he didn't expect that His Majesty chose Jia Jun.

Last time, Jiuqing Ting pushed the Ministry of Industry to hand in two lists, and the first recommendation was naturally Jia Jun, who was born in a person, but although Hu Gongchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry in Beijing, was an orthodox Jinshi for four years, he was already seventy-two years old.

Although His Majesty does not seem to have too many choices, judging from the courage shown by His Majesty now, His Majesty cannot be completely dominated by Jiuqing Tingtui in employing people, but has always had his own ideas for employing people.

Now Jia Jun can sit in this position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, although he is operating behind the second assistant Liu Ji, and Jia Jun has made friends with Zhang Luan studying in Guozijian, but the most important thing is that he is fortunate to be appointed by His Majesty.

Jia Jun always thought that it was all Liu Ji's credit, and couldn't help but secretly say in fear: "The minister doesn't know, but the minister is willing to break his body for His Majesty, and he will not hesitate to do it!" ”

"The reason why I appointed you as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is that I want to tell the Ministry of Industry and the people of the world: I don't look at the background, I don't look at the position, I only look at the person's virtue and ability!" Zhu Youzhu naturally didn't need to disturb Jia Jun, but he painted cakes to the officials of the Ministry of Industry who were present.

He didn't care why Jia Jun was able to become the first choice of the Ministry of Works, because he was not familiar with this person, he naturally wouldn't go easily.

It's just that he needs to push for reform next. Regardless of whether Jia Jun is because of virtue or because of the drill camp, since this person has never proved himself with merits, and he has no experience in river governance, it is naturally impossible for him to be truly reused.

However, after all, Jia Jun is the first person in the Ming Dynasty to win the six books of Shangshu with his fame, since Jiuqing Ting pushed Jia Jun up, then he simply used this person to buy bones.

At the end of each dynasty, the officials below suddenly "rotten" en masse, largely because the upward channel of officialdom has been blocked.

For example, once an honest magistrate knows that he is still a magistrate for decades, then it is impossible for him to deny himself and serve the public, but to use the power in his hand to seek law and rent.

Chen Zheng and other officials such as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry seemed to have eaten stimulants, and even said one after another: "The ministers are willing to do their best for Your Majesty, and then die!" ”

"Today, I need to find out from among you an official who really knows how to control the water to serve as a squire of the Ministry of Works. This person is not famous or born, high or low in official position, but I need him to be able to replace the Great Meiji River. It's just that my words are put here, my Ministry of Industry will not raise mediocre talents, if your assessment results disappoint me, then don't blame me for picking off your top black veil! Zhu Youzhu no longer needs to "pretend to be a pig", and he made a sonorous speech.
