Chapter 121 Meeting a traitor and a sycophant
Chapter 121 Meeting of traitors and traitors
Except for Liu Fan, the Procuratorate has become two distinct factions.
One group is a small group from Fan Zheng and Li Yifu;
One faction is the old forces headed by Kan Tong.
Since Liu Fan's return, the little power Kan Tong had has been basically taken back, and he has no chance to take action against him.
By the way, the Department of Personnel issued a written ultimatum, transferring a supervisory censor who passed the exam last year in the Procuratorate, and at the same time officially removed Fan Zheng's name of "Bao Xing" after his official title, which made Kan Yu uneasy.
It’s definitely a biased approach!
Fan Zheng recruited a large group of officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Sun Fujia, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, returned to Dali Temple. Gao Xiuxi, a doctor in the ancestral ministry, moved to the right to serve as minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Gao Jian, the minister's right servant, naturally wanted to remember this feeling. With a look, his former subordinate
Why don't we just "wrap it up"?
For officials, it is extremely difficult to get rid of the word "wrap";
For the Department of Civil Affairs, it was just a wave of the hand.
Officials below the sixth rank are even appointed through simple procedures, not to mention they are only promoted to full-time positions.
When the eight supervisory censors are full, just transfer one out. How simple is that?
Li Yifu smiled like an owl in the night: "The two of us are against the five of them, hey, we are not afraid of them. You have rectified the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This year, at least there is an upper and lower level. I haven't found a place yet. Bring one?"
What Li Yifu said was not settled, he meant that the big achievements were not settled, but the small cases were piecemeal. He had solved several of them, and there was absolutely no problem in passing the exam.
But, isn’t that award that adds one quarter’s salary a good thing?
"Why don't you go check it out if the water level in Bashui dropped some time ago and exposed a few skeletons?" Fan Zheng joked.
"Haha, if I had that ability, wouldn't I go directly to Dali Temple? Even if I can't be a Shaoqing, Dali Zheng, I would still dare to think about becoming Dali Cheng from the sixth rank." Li Yifu still has some self-knowledge.
"That's not a good position."
After Fan Zheng finished speaking, he looked at each other and smiled at Li Yifu.
Both of them knew Zhang Yungu's name well.
"How about taking a look at Zongzheng Temple?"
"Be careful, the King of Xiangyi comes and slaps you."
It's just a joke. Zongzheng Temple, which manages the royal clan, even if Zongzhengqing is not Li Shenfu, they don't have the ability to investigate, not even Liu Fan.
"Weiwei Temple?" Fan Zheng suggested cautiously.
Because almost no one has checked these two temples, if you dare to come forward, the rewards will be huge.
Li Yifu rolled his eyes: "Do you think Weiwei Temple can be touched by anyone? Weiweiqing, Shaoqing, and even the Prime Minister are all members of the clan. They are in charge of equipment and cultural relics, subordinate arsenals, weapons, and guarding the palace.
Department, which one can we afford to offend?"
The notorious Yang Yuzhi was appointed as Weiweicheng at this time.
"The Shaofu Supervisor, will you be the supervisor?"
"Stop it! The yamen, in the name of prison, are under the direct control of the royal family, and it is not our turn to take care of it!"
If you look at it this way, even the Imperial College and the Water Supervision Bureau can no longer supervise it.
Taichang Temple is either a medical institution or a memorial service. A layman can't comment. People just use radish as ginseng, and you don't have the ability to tell.
Those six institutions with the word "province" clearly on them are not within the scope of the Procuratorate's supervision. Fan Zheng's inspection of the Provincial AMTD Bureau was only based on the emperor's oral orders.
Looking at it this way, the scope of control is quite narrow.
There is also a Guanglu Temple, which looks open to investigation, but the official is Fan Zheng's father-in-law Du Kan, and his brother-in-law Du Guanbao is the supervisor. However, he must avoid suspicion and let others inspect Guanglu Temple as much as possible.
So, there is a hypothesis. If there are enough relatives and they are spread across all departments of the imperial court, can they not be investigated?
of course not.
There are five types of relatives. To avoid suspicion, you should only avoid relatives.
If you really can't avoid it, just change your position and stop being a supervisor.
In the final calculation, he squeezed the persimmon softly and attacked Taifu Temple.
Dongshi Ling had a relationship with Fan Zheng and let him go;
The order of Xishi was taken down by Fan Zheng, and his successor had only been appointed not long ago. He had no luck, so he was eliminated;
Office of Equalization...
Li Yifu shook his head: "We can't touch the Pingzheng Bureau. Among the two bureau chiefs, Xiahou Wei is the most powerful. He is a friend of the late emperor, Wude Nian's secretary-supervisor Xiahou Duan, and the most loyal person in this dynasty."
Xiahou Duan's achievement is that when Wang Shichong swept through Henan, he saw that he could not hold on and refused to surrender to Wang Shichong. He led his troops to take the cliffs of Yiyang and cleared the way back to Chang'an through thick thorns. His hair on the temples was completely gone and his body was black. There were more than 20 survivors.
Ranked first in "Old Book of Tang·Loyalty".
The glory of the ancestors is too dazzling. If Xiahou Wei is not too desperate, the investigation will be in vain.
Just like Du He, if the prison sentence was just in name, let it go, but he was even pardoned after a few days, which was a big deal.
The Zuozang Department is in charge of important imperial treasury, and the gifts need to be weighed before being transferred into the treasury, which is supervised by Taichang Qing and the imperial censor. When leaving the treasury, the wooden deed is inspected, the person in charge and the yamen who requested the supplies are recorded, and the seal is sent to the prison gate.
, before you can pull it out.
Therefore, it is unlikely that something will go wrong.
Of course, if something goes wrong, Taichang Qing and the Censor must be overthrown.
On the contrary, the Youzang Department is in charge of the treasures of the imperial court. It keeps all the gold, jade, pearls, and playthings donated by the four directions. Although the cashier method is the same, the space is larger.
Li Yifu and Fan Zheng looked at each other and smiled. Li Yifu wrote an ultimatum, signed by both of them, and reported it to Liu Fan.
Liu Fan's mouth twitched, but he still issued the supervision certificate for them.
Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, so let them run into the wall.
The geographical location of the Youzang Office is just as its name suggests. It is located in a separate courtyard in the outer palace city to the right of Jiade Gate. It is heavily guarded by Yi guards outside. People must be searched when entering the hospital, and all fires are prohibited.
The commander of Youzang's Department is upright and of the same rank as Fan Zheng and others. There is no need to be too polite. They greet each other by their names.
The person who signed the order, who was nearly fifty years old, turned out to be Xu Jingzong, one of the famous eighteen bachelors!
Being as famous as Fang Xuanling and others, Xu Jingzong is really capable, but this person is hard to describe.
He had been promoted smoothly to the fifth rank of the upper middle school and was a scholar with a bright future. However, he openly laughed at Ouyang Xun's appearance in the Taiji Hall and made the whole hall noisy.
How old was he? His appearance was not very good, and he was out of shape due to old age and illness. However, Xu Jingzong, who did not celebrate the festival, ridiculed him wildly, and six palace officials impeached him for being unbecoming a palace official.
So, it was a tragedy and he was demoted.
This can be regarded as Fan Zheng truly changing a person's destiny. At least Xu Jingzong did not lose his dignity during the period of mourning for Empress Changsun. Even if he was demoted, it would not be difficult for him to be promoted back.
Then, the two would-be traitors met.
"I apologize, you two. The Youzang Office prohibits all fires, so there is no tea." Xu Jingzong said openly. "There are quite a lot of treasures in the Youzang Office. Why don't you hurry up and light them while the light is on?"
"Those are eight pieces of jade from Khotan as tribute; these are the top-quality sumam from Yangzhou, eight hundred and eighteen square meters; eighty-five square meters of ivory as tribute from Guangzhou. No, the general received two tusks two days ago.
Make an ivory wat, and there are eighty-three pieces left.”
Fan Zheng knew for the first time that the ivory was not as white as expected, but a little yellowish. The white color was the color after polishing.
