Chapter 729 You should thank me
Fang Zhengyi smiled and took a sip of tea, stretched out his hand and said, "Sir Xu, why not talk about it after reading it."
Xu Wenshu felt cold sweat falling down and started to read one by one.
Every time I look at one, my hands tremble.
The papers here record the famous and surnamed figures in the court, and the contents are actually the various industries of his family in Beijing.
The content is so detailed that even though he was in the Ministry of Revenue to learn some of the situation, he did not have the content recorded on the letter paper clearly.
The most important thing is that there is his family, and it is not bad at all...
After reading all the contents, Xu Wenshu felt much heavier and raised his head and said, "Mr. Fang, what do you mean?"
Fang Zhengyi smiled slightly: "It's not interesting."
"Look, my Dajing officials always look down on merchants. But in private, they all have their own businesses. What they show you today is the tip of the iceberg."
"I remember that Da Jinglu had a rule that officials and relatives should not do business. What they should guard against is collusion between officials and businessmen and use power to seek profit. If the things collected by the Jinyiwei let the outside world know, it would probably be the biggest scandal of Da Jing, right?"
This is a secret unspoken rule. Everyone knows, why are you Fang Zhengyi so excited?
Xu Wenshu said with difficulty: "What do you mean? Is it just to just want to open a pilot project for ease-of-service?"
"Haha, it's a bit presumptuous, just for this matter. The Jinyiwei cracked down on illegality and the court officials competed for profit. Of course, I have to find a way to solve it." Fang Zheng smiled.
"Mr. Xu, I started from Taoyuan County and I can't understand the power of merchants. Today's world is the time when business is on the rise, so why not act as a push? Times have changed, and you and I may not be able to see a prosperous era that was beyond the reach of our predecessors!"
Xu Wenshu's eyelids twitched a few times, and suddenly felt particularly aggrieved.
I thought Fang Zhengyi was just a shameless person, but I didn't expect that he was still a fool.
Times have changed? Which onion are you?
"Master Fang, just go directly to report to the Emperor Ming. The memorial is written. What should I say to me?"
"Sir Xu, stop pretending. If I respond to the report, will I come to you? Just say help me or not. As long as you open a golden mouth, I think it's not difficult for the court to just start a pilot." Fang Zhengyi said carelessly.
Xu Hongcai stared at him with a curious look on his face. The feeling that the man in front of him gave him was really something special.
Seeing that the words had already started, Xu Wenshu pulled his face and pushed the letter to Fang Zhengyi: "I won't help! I'm naturally easier to deal with when I say this, but how should others think of me? You're so beautiful!"
Fang Zhengyi pushed the letter back to Xu Wenshu and whispered: "Are you afraid that I will make these information public? Let the world see how hypocritical our officials in the court are?"
Xu Wenshu sneered: "I'm afraid it's not me, but you, Lord Fang. If this letter is known to everyone, everyone will know that the Jinyiwei is secretly monitoring the court officials. By then, everyone will be afraid of you and isolate you. Then you will be the target of public criticism. I don't believe that you dare to offend everyone."
"If you really want to make a fuss, your Majesty will sack the Jinyiwei?"
Threat me?
Fang Zhengyi's smile froze on his face, and he suddenly slapped the table.
This suddenly made Xu Wenshu and his son confused.
The smile on Fang Zheng's face disappeared: "Mr. Xu, I think you have all forgotten what the Jinyiwei does."
"The reconnaissance officials are investigated, arresting unjust officials; in charge of imperial prisons, interrogation and execution. When I first took over the Jinyiwei, all of you were worried that I would take personal revenge in this position. But the facts prove that I have been in peace with you for so long, even if someone dislikes me and disagrees with me, I will ignore it."
"Even... I don't care at all if someone scolds me behind my back." At this point, Fang Zheng turned his head and looked at Xu Hongcai: "Xiao Xu, has your father scolded me?"
Xu Hongcai didn't expect the topic to turn to him suddenly, but when he thought about his father just finished scolding a few days ago, he hesitated nervously: "No... I definitely didn't scold you. Lord Fang, you're thinking too much."
"That's just a scolding."
“…”
Xu Wenshu blushed: "Mr. Fang, don't talk nonsense about things without evidence. Don't scare him if the child is still young."
Fang Zhengyi ignored him and continued, "You should be glad that I was sitting in this seat! Let me tell you the truth. The Jinyiwei never did anything wrong. The industries of those officials were investigated, analyzed and summarized from the market. As long as you are willing to spend time, anyone can do the energy."
"What if this seat was a simple and rough person who only obeyed orders? Mr. Xu, you might as well think about what would happen then?"
"Maybe your servant is no longer a servant, but a Jinyiwei. Your son is no longer your son, or a Jinyiwei..."
Fang Zhengyi's eyes turned to Xu Hongcai again, and Xu Hongcai only felt that his hair was standing up all over his body.
Xu Wenshu felt sympathy.
Fang Zhengyi said it is indeed good. On weekdays, they will deal with the Jinyiwei. Most of the Jinyiwei who came to the door are polite and dressed neatly, which makes people feel good when they see it. They are also well-known among the people.
In contrast, the quality of Dongchang Fanzi is far inferior. In order to deal with the case poorly, it can be said that he will do anything to deal with it.
Everyone still had no objection to Fang Zhengyi on this point, but no one thought how good he did. After all, this was what the Jinyiwei looked like when he appeared.
Everyone should think that this is the case with the Jinyiwei.
Now that Fang Zhengyi mentioned this, he suddenly realized.
The Jinyiwei should have been a violent institution that does nothing for the emperor's personal affairs... Moderation should never be a trait it shows unless the leader is deliberately guiding...
Xu Wenshu moved his lips twice, trying to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
Seeing that his expression was different, Fang Zheng smiled: "Actually, you should all thank me, because I have always protected all my colleagues in the court."
"Protect your right to speak in the court, and protect your freedom from fear."
"With the people's expectations of the Jinyiwei, it is unlikely to be lifted out, but if I go down, I'm afraid it will be of no benefit to everyone. At most, everyone will end up in a loss-making position."
"What's more, even if I have nothing, it doesn't matter! What am I afraid of? I am the prince consort, and His Majesty is my father. I eat imperial food. Isn't it nice to lie at home?"
"So, guess if I dare to let these things go!"
Originally, Xu Wenshu was still thinking in his heart, but when he heard Fang Zhengyi say such shameless words, he sighed helplessly: "Mr. Fang, I'm convinced you, can't you change someone else? Isn't your uncle better than me?"
