Just reading the literal meaning, I would have thought that he was riding a horse and spear, killing everyone in and out of the rebel den.
Shen Shoufu, who has so many things to do every day, is already impatient to continue reading this long and smelly serial storybook. It's already May, is it still going to be finished?
It’ll end when it’s time to end, there’s no point in dragging it out!
So at the cabinet meeting, Shen Shoufu said to other cabinet elders: "Today, we must decide on a result on Xuanfu affairs!"
Then Shen Shoufu made an explanatory speech: "What we know now is that the governor, Xu Shouqian, engaged in bribery and bribery, and even tried to collude with the three wives of the chieftain to embezzle horse-priced silver.
Imperial envoy Lin temporarily sealed the bank treasury of the Household Department and suspended the horse market, which aroused Xu Shoshouqian's dissatisfaction.
Xu Shouchian then ordered Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang Shicheng to launch a mutiny and besiege the imperial envoy's residence.
As a result, Lin, the imperial envoy, became angry and led his troops to fight back, sneaking a surprise attack on the governor's headquarters."
In order to prevent others from having stress reactions and causing uncontrollable consequences, Shen Shoufu also took great pains.
He only referred to him as the imperial envoy Lin and did not mention Lin Tailai's name directly at all.
Xu Er and Wang San from the cabinet both played the role of fun-lovers on this issue and all looked at Wang Si.
Is Xu Shouqian a member of Qingliu’s line, or Wang Si, the spokesman for Qingliu’s forces? Let’s speak!
Wang Si said very objectively and impartially: "This information is actually one-sided, right?
So far, we have not received any statement from Xu Shouqian himself, and there is no solid evidence.”
Shen Shoufu dismissed it and retorted: "I think that Lin, who has only been in Xuanfu for a few days, can collude with the female chieftain, the chief military officer, and a commanding officer with outstanding military exploits to frame a trap.
Xu Shouqian, who has been in Xuanfu for three or four years?
In terms of evidence, do those rebel soldiers who participated in the siege of the imperial envoy count as evidence?"
Wang Si didn't want to defend Xu Shouqian, a rotten person who had no self-awareness at all, but he had to defend himself because this was formalism for the sake of the Qingliu forces.
So I still tried to show my respect by saying: "We must give Xu Shouqian a chance to speak before we decide what to do."
Shen Shoufu added: "You have also read the memorial of Wang who participated in politics. He said that Xu Shouqian had a tendency to commit suicide. You can speak after you understand it."
The implication is that if you let go now, Governor Xu can still save his life.
If you don't let go, I'm afraid Governor Xu will lose his life. Don't you doubt that Governor Xu is incapable of committing suicide?
The resourceful Wang San suddenly said thoughtfully: "Maybe someone wants to see Xu commit suicide by collecting money?"
Shen Daye looked at Wang San in surprise. Could it be that, Wang Xijue, you are trying to perform one step at a time? Are you starting to think about what will happen after Xu receives money and loses his official position?
At this time, Wang Si's balls were hurting and he could no longer defend himself. What kind of person would expect Governor Xu to commit suicide?
"If there is no objection, we will draw up a vote to remove Xu Shouqian from his post on the memorial of Mr. Wang, the right political advisor! Adjourn the meeting!" Shen Shoufu said the final word.
Without Lin Tailai disrupting cabinet meetings outside, the chief minister is so domineering and has such strong control!
The cabinet can also propose to the emperor that a certain governor be removed from office; as for who to nominate as governor, that is really not the business of the cabinet.
According to the system, the governor of the interior is recommended by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Husbandry, while the governor of border towns such as Xuanfu is recommended by the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War.
After the news came out that Xu Souqian, the governor of Xuanfu Town, had been dismissed from his post, Wang Situ of the Ministry of Household Affairs had mixed emotions.
Fortunately, my son Wang Xiangqian made the right move by going to the border town.
If you are still hanging around in the mainland, you should avoid suspicion when the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Revenue recommend that the governor involves your son.
The worry is that the opportunity appears too early and too suddenly.
My son's qualifications are still very low. He has only been a right-winger and participated in politics for a few days, and it is a bit reluctant to become governor again.
In the past, the governor of Xuanfu Town was a very dangerous position. He had to fight bad wars with the Northern invaders every year. It was not a particularly good official position.
But now that there is no war, and the horse market has been open for 20 years, the governor of Xuanfu Town has a real job.
The imperial court and the right wing of Beilu opened four horse markets, one each in Xuanfu Town, Datong Town, Shanxi Town, and Yulin Town.
However, the trading share of Zhangjiakou Bao Horse Market in Xuanfu Town accounts for about 45% of all horse markets, almost half.
As the Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Situ knew very well that the amount of horse price silver that the court planned to use at the Zhangjiakou Bao Horse Market this year was as high as 185,000 taels!
This is only the official market transaction, plus private transactions, the flow of money in and out of Zhangjiakou Baoma City will be hundreds of thousands of taels.
If smuggling is added to the list, it will become even more innumerable. It will definitely be a battleground for military strategists in the smuggling industry.
Therefore, the competition for the position of governor of Xuanfu Town is so fierce that you don’t have to guess how many people in the court are already thinking about it.
It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity. Wang Situ sighed secretly, it would be great if Lin Tailai was still in the court, he would definitely be a powerful help.
Chapter completed!
