The next morning, everything seemed to be the same as usual, but many officials clearly felt a scent of storm.

Hu Yingjia, Ouyang Yijing and others left the venue early, so naturally they could not escape the eyes of some officials present. Combined with Lin Weiran's extremely high-profile banquet, many people speculated that this banquet might be the fuse of the next storm.

The court seems to be harmonious at the moment, but with Yan Ne, Hu Song and Yang Bo falling one after another, the strength of the Xu Party was severely damaged. The new alliance of Guo, Lin and Gao quietly rose, and these two camps were already in the same power.

Although Mr. Xu was kind on the surface, he never believed in men and women. Not to mention how he ruined Yan Song's family, the later threats Yuan Wei and Wu Shan were wiped out by him one after another.

Nowadays, he is still the chief minister of the dynasty and is still fully trusted by the emperor. So how can he let Guo Pu, Lin Qingran and Gao Gong threaten his position?

Lin Weiran showed such an obvious flaw, how could he take the opportunity to attack Lin Weiran?

Officials on West Chang'an Street went from west to east, and some officials who thought they could see clearly expressed their feelings: "After all, I am young, how can I act so high-profile?"

Things were indeed as they expected, and some people could no longer hold back.

By the way, Hu Yingjia, the minister of the Ministry of Justice, left the United Restaurant, said goodbye to Zhang Xianchen, Ouyang Yijing and others, and returned to his house in Yongfang, Daming.

He hurried back to the study room, and after closing the doors and windows, he immediately prepared a memorial accusing Lin Weiran of "taking the opportunity to make money" and "extravagance".

Just when he saw the wolf-haired pen in his hand, a solemn look suddenly surged on his face, and then he tore off the written memorial, throwing the paper into the brazier and burning it in annoyance.

He looked at the burning flames, but he was not afraid of Lin Junran's power, but he suddenly realized that officials, including him, would hold banquets to "make money."

Once upon a time, the Ming Dynasty officialdom had the bad habit of accepting gifts by taking out banquets.

Although Lin Xuran obviously took the opportunity to make money, the Ming Dynasty's law did not stipulate that officials could not hold banquets and receive gifts. This time it was just too high-profile.

Hu Yingjia felt like a basin of cold water was poured into a deflated ball.

Not to mention that this memorial is not very lethal. If this matter is really banned, it will undoubtedly cut off the financial resources of countless officials, and he will offend the entire officialdom.

Hu Yingjia returned to the room and kept frowning.

Because his wife Wang served his parents in his hometown in Nanzhili, he took a concubine like a flower and jade in the capital. However, no matter how beautiful the woman is, she is not as powerful as the one who is, so she hastily done things.

Shen is over 30 years old and is just like a wolf or a tiger. He complains: "You even said you are the pillar of the sky. You will become a salted fish after just a few moves. Isn't this a pity for me?"

"What did you say?" Hu Yingjia sat up suddenly, stared at Shen and asked.

Shen was glared at Hu Yingjia, and couldn't help but cry aggrievedly, but he said with all his might: "You said you were the pillar of the sky, but you ended up being a salted fish. It's clear that you want to cheer up my appetite!"

Hu Yingjia was scolded by a woman like this, but his eyes were shining. He immediately got out of bed with his butt naked, but ran straight to the study room there.

this……

Shen thought he would be killed by poison, but when he saw Hu Yingjia running out naked, he forgot to wipe away his tears, and looked at Hu Yingjia who was hurriedly leaving in great confusion.

Hu Yingjia arrived at the door and closed the doors and windows again.

He felt like he was revived. He used the light to splash ink on the white paper and wrote in a slew-like manner: "Hu Yingjia, the minister of the ministers and ministers, reported: "The loyal minister and ministers, are the ministers, and the ministers are the foundation of the prosperity of the great Ming Dynasty... Yang Xu, a native of Pingyang, Taishan County, was the prefect of Lujiang at that time. The minister once offered him raw fish, and Yang Xu received it and hung it in the courtyard. Later, the minister went on it, and Yang Xu went out to hang it in front to stop his intentions."

This is an allusion of the sheep hanging fish, and it can be said to be a model of integrity of officials.

Hu Yingjia was naturally not showing off his knowledge, but he said with a twist of his pen: "Today is a troublesome autumn. There are Japanese people in the south and Tartars invaded the border in the north. It is the time when the court is clean and serves the court... On the sixth day of the 12th month, Lin Qingran, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of War, used his sister's birthday as a pretext to invite guests from all over the world. More than half of the officials in the capital were ignored by the gentry and merchants. The goods offered were worth tens of thousands of gold... Now the money is sluggish and the people are not fed. This move actually damages the morals of officials... Lin Qingran is not an ordinary official, but leads all officials and ministers, and is attracted by the attention of the court. This move is injustice, which is a disaster. I beg the emperor to punish Lin Qingran for his crimes to uphold the court rules!"

When the pen stops, a beautiful melody has already jumped onto the paper.

Hu Yingjia looked at his masterpiece happily. Although this gift cannot be convicted, given the inspiration given by his concubine, he could start from Lin Yanran's identity and mismatch in his behavior.

As the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, who commanded all officials, was so high-profile that he could naturally give Lin Qingran a hat of "depression, disaster and discipline".

Impeachment never requires any real evidence, or even a strong reason.

For example, when Lin Run impeached Yan Shifan for "colluding with bandits and trying to do something wrong", people with just a little normal thinking would not really think that Yan Shifan wanted to rebel, but this memorial became Yan Shifan's death talisman when he arrived in the capital.

Now he actually doesn't need exact evidence. As long as he gives a reason, someone will naturally handle it, and he can reap the benefits of "fisherman" like Lin Run.

Hu Yingjia carefully put away the prepared memorial and then returned to the room happily. Originally, he wanted to regain his strength and let Shen understand what it means to raise the sky, but he was still powerless when facing the beautiful Shen family.

Forget it, women don’t have the taste of power, they just ignored Shen’s resentful gaze and fell asleep deeply.

Hu Yingjia got up early in the morning, sneezed loudly and went out with a memorial. After stuttering a simple breakfast in the alley, he hurried towards Tongzhengsi.

When we arrived at the Tongzhengsi Office, several officials were lined up to present memorials. Hu Yingjia's mouth was slightly raised, and he looked contemptuous at the officials who wanted to compete for his contribution.

This officialdom also pays attention to status and qualifications. Even if they impeach Lin Weiran's memorials at the same time, they will also be the first to be the minister of the official department.

The most important thing is that with the little heads of these officials, they may have just abuse Lin Qingran for receiving gifts, and they do not know how to attack from Lin Qingran's position as a role model of officials, and they do not know how to quote the allusion of sheep and fish hanging.

Tongzheng envoy Liu Tigan personally treated Hu Yingjia, but he understood his memorials to the front, so that he firmly occupied the position of "first killing".

Hu Yingjia returned to Liuke Galleries with satisfaction, and happened to meet Zhang Xianchen, the director of the Ministry of Housing and the staff, immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "Mr. Zhang, you are running away at the last minute!"

"Brother Kerou, I didn't promise you anything last night!" Zhang Xianchen was stunned at first, then made a serious correction, and then asked seriously: "Mr. Hu, have you not read the Shuntian Daily today?"

"Shuntian Daily? What do I think of such a rough thing?" Hu Yingjia was stunned at first, and then seemed dissatisfied.

Although the censors of Kedao pay attention to the source of information, such as the authoritative "Shuntian Daily" is a must-read for many censors of Kedao, because this is something related to Lin Weiran, he rarely pays attention to this newspaper.

Zhang Xianchen sighed inwardly and handed Hu Yingjia a piece of newspaper that had just been released.

Hu Yingjia frowned slightly, looked up at Zhang Xianchen, and opened the newspaper. When he saw a line of big words on the front page, he was stunned.

But the reason for the incident was clearly written on it: "Shuntian Inspector Lin Pingchang handed over all the gifts received from the birthday banquet last night to the Ministry of Revenue to count and store them in the warehouse. Tonight, he will be auctioned at the joint auction house. All the proceeds will be used to pay the military expenses owed in Datong!"

Zhang Xianchen looked at Hu Yingjia's shock and sighed silently. After all, they looked down on Lin Qingran. They had no intention of making money at all, and they were clearly sharing the worries of the country.

this……

When Hu Yingjia saw this news, his head immediately buzzed.

I thought Lin Xuran's move was to make money, but I never expected that he would hand over all the gifts to the Ministry of Revenue. Where is it still accumulating wealth, it is clearly accumulating virtue and doing good deeds.

For a moment, he felt his whole face burning, as if he was slapped loudly in the face. As for the impeachment of what he was undoubtedly asking for humiliation.

Shuntian Daily is an extremely influential newspaper. The news quickly spread throughout the capital, causing many self-righteous officials to be slapped in the face.

However, there was some controversy in this matter. A working official actually transferred the gifts he received to military expenses. After all, this was something that had never happened in the Ming Dynasty.

"This matter has never been precedent, and it is absolutely impossible!"

"The Ming army wants him to support him, so where is the face of the court?"

"He is just serving as the Minister of War. What is the intention of this move to raise silver so openly to pay military expenses?"

...

Faced with Lin Shiran's actions, there was naturally no lack of opposition. Some officials even maliciously speculated that Lin Shiran's move was a bribe of the military's intention to rebel.

"You can't say that. First of all, the money is a gift from everyone, and secondly, I'm afraid that Mr. Xu will ask why he has been owing Datong military funds!"

"No matter how poor the army here is, we cannot arrears military expenses. The soldiers of the border army are waiting for dinner!"

"Datong soldiers have always been the main force to fight against the Tartars, and are also the main contributors of the great victory in Manzhutan. How can they owe their military expenses?"

...

Lin Qingran has long been different from the past. Many officials have jumped out to defend Yu Lin Qingran, and even pointed the finger at Xu Jie, the chief assistant of the dynasty who was ineffective.

As the current emperor's condition worsens, the current helmsman of the court has become Xu Jie. The reason why the finances are in such a dilemma is related to the palace that the emperor insists on building, Xu Jie undoubtedly has to take on a great responsibility.

If it is inappropriate to hold a banquet to receive gifts to fill the military expenditure of Datong, then Xu Jie's inaction will undoubtedly bear greater responsibility, and even the culprit of the entire incident.

Wuyi Palace, the Chief Auxiliary’s Office, and the sandalwood in the copper furnace rose up.

Xu Fan came here in a hurry, first picked up the teapot and poured a large mouthful of tea, then told his father: "Dad, that kid used the gift he received last night for an auction, saying that he wanted to fill the military expenses of Datong!"

"I already know this?" Xu Jie did not raise his head and continued to write a memorial.

Xu Fan was slightly stunned and reminded seriously: "That boy is obviously disturbing the morale of the army. We can't let that boy meet his wishes!"

"Although Lin Ruoyu's method can solve part of the military expenditure and win the morale of the Datong army, this move... is not worth the loss!" Xu Jie gently put down the brush, and said in his hand that Zhizhu seemed to be in his grasp.

Xu Fan knew that his father would not be aimless, and his eyes lit up slightly and said, "Dad, what's going on?"

Xu Jie picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea slowly and said, "Officers with good relationships with him, or officials who intend to hold his thighs will give him a treasure at this banquet. Almost all of us are perfunctory to him, and the gifts are definitely not worth much money!"

"Dad, so what?" Xu Fan frowned and asked with confusion on his face.

Xu Jie looked up at Xu Fan, but was a little disappointed and proud: "Since it's an auction, who gave me something will naturally be registered. As long as they record which official gave me valuables, we will add fuel to the fire, and even make people impeach them for greed. If that time comes, will the officials here hate Lin Shiran's actions to the core?"

"Haha... they naturally regretted standing in the wrong team and even turned against us!" Xu Fan's eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

Xu Jie gently put down the teacup and said confidently: "Although his move can solve more than half of the military expenditure of Datong, it is also a move to throw watermelons and pick up sesame seeds!"

"Dad, you are Guo Jia's rebirth!" After Xu Fan learned the mystery of the matter, he gave Xu Jiejian a thumbs up.

Xu Jie's face looked slightly upright and he looked unhappy: "Your father is not a short-sincerity ghost!" After a pause, he warned seriously: "You don't have to run here if you have nothing to do. Do you really want to be impeached and try to steal patriarchy?"

Xu Fan immediately smiled embarrassedly. When he saw Yan Shifan being guillotine, he had no idea of ​​becoming a little master. Even when he learned the fierce monster-like killing in the court, he did not even dare to infer the position of the Minister of the Works Department.
