Chapter 18 The so-called Jingcha (thanks to book friends 20200926112052614
In fact, without Zhu Changluo's push, Xin Zixiu, the censor of Zuodu of the Inspectorate, would have been extremely stubborn about going to Beijing to investigate. Because Xin Zixiu's personality is like this, and he is the general constitution of the Inspectorate, he naturally cannot tolerate Xiao Xiao
His disciples are high above the temple. What's more, after Gao Qiyu's case, Xin Zixiu has already formed a relationship with Shen Shixing and Yang Wei.
Now that such a big matter as the Beijing Police Department was controlled by Shen Shixing and Yang Wei, Xin Zixiu certainly couldn't bear it.
Yang Wei returned to the staff hall angrily. He really didn't expect that the emperor would actually order the Inspectorate to participate in the inspection of the capital. After they participate, they will definitely expand the scope of the attack. This is definitely contrary to the result of the chief minister.
What the chief minister wants is stability. If the capital is uneasy because of the Beijing inspection incident, wouldn't it be the court that suffers in the end? How should the chief minister deal with himself?
Yang Wei was always thinking about Shen Shixing. After sitting in the official department for a while, Yang Wei suddenly thought of a person who might be able to restrain Xin Zixiu.
Yang Wei said: "If someone comes, please go and ask Chen Yujiao in Shizhong, and tell him that we have something to discuss in this hall, and invite him to come to the Yi Building to talk about it."
The reason why Yang Wei thinks of Chen Yujiao is because he has dirty information about Chen Yujiao. This Chen Yujiao was a Jinshi in the second year of Wanli. He is now serving as an official. He has a problem, that is, he likes to ask for bribes.
But his background is very strong. He is a disciple of the great scholar Wang Xijue, and he is attached to Shen Shixing. He is very domineering. Guanglu Shaoqing Wang Ruxun once said that he "recommends the governor today, and recommends the supervisor tomorrow. Every time he comes out, he is everywhere."
bribery."
However, Yang Wei had nothing to do with him, and there was even a feud between the two because Yang Wei once told people that Chen Yujiao was a villain. As a result, Chen Yujiao directly went to Emperor Wanli to request Yang Wei's dismissal.
At that time, Yang Wei hated Chen Yujiao to his core, but now for the chief minister's grand plan and for the stability of the court, Yang Wei had to cooperate with Chen Yujiao. After all, Yang Wei also knew that Chen Yujiao was raised by Shen Shi in the Inspectorate.
A dog is still very useful at critical times.
After Chen Yujiao received Yang Wei's invitation, he smiled and said to the people around him: "Does Yang Tianguan sometimes ask for help?"
In the end, Chen Yujiao went to the appointment because he was also worried that the Beijing police would be unfavorable to him. Especially now that Xin Zixiu was so arrogant and wanted to punish all corrupt officials, Chen Yujiao was afraid that the boss would become ruthless.
At that time, his relatives disowned him and had him killed.
Yang Wei and Chen Yujiao met in Laiyi Building. The two didn't have much interaction, so they didn't exchange greetings. They went straight into the private room and got down to business.
Chen Yujiao said, "What orders does Yang Tianguan have to the subordinate?"
Chen Yujiao, a small seventh-grade minister, spoke in an arrogant tone and did not take Yang Wei, a second-rank subordinate, into consideration at all.
Fortunately, Yang Wei is getting older and has become better at cultivating Qi. Yang Wei said calmly: "I am looking for you to investigate the capital's plans."
Chen Yujiao said: "I follow the instructions of our General Constitution regarding the Beijing inspection. This time the Beijing inspection and our Supervisory Office will monitor it to the end and not let a single corrupt official go."
Yang Wei smiled, "Really? If that's the case, then I'll take my leave. I have some materials here that I want to hand over to you, the General Constitution of the Inspectorate."
Chen Yujiao's arrogance suddenly died down. He said unwillingly: "What is the order from the Heavenly Official? I will definitely cooperate with you."
Yang Wei said: "The Beijing inspection matter is related to the stability of the court, and is also related to the administrative plans of the Chief Assistant. We hope that Mr. Chen can focus on the overall situation and not use the supervision power of the Supervisory Council to destroy the current good situation."
Chen Yujiao said: "Okay, I agree, but I have a condition."
Yang Wei said: "You say."
Chen Yujiao said: "I want Wang Ruxun to be dismissed from office!"
Yang Wei frowned. He didn't expect Chen Yujiao's appetite to be so big, and his will to retaliate so harshly! Yang Wei weighed it up and said, "Wang Ruxun didn't make a big mistake, and I can't agree to it. But I can transfer him."
To Nanjing."
Chen Yujiao thought for a moment, and then said: "It's really an advantage for him."
After the two reached an agreement, they toasted each other with a few glasses of wine in the Lai Yi Building and then left.
Sure enough, as expected, after Chen Yujiao returned, just when Xin Zixiu deployed all the censors in the Supervisory Academy to report on the dozen or so officials who were favored by Supervisor Shen Shixing for trying to exploit the business, Chen Yujiao joined forces with several officials.
When the matter was over and the censor went to Shu, Emperor Wanli stabbed Xin Zixiu in the back.
Chen Yujiao Shangshu said: "The ministers who are in charge of the constitution will abandon people with one mistake and want to empty the capital in one fell swoop. I ask the emperor to be aware of everything and don't let those who are interested in using the capital to attack dissidents."
This road came to Emperor Wanli. With Emperor Wanli's cautious and hesitant character, Emperor Wanli hesitated at that time. He couldn't help but wonder whether it was right or wrong for the Inspectorate to participate in the Beijing inspection. Therefore, Xin Zixiu wanted to criticize
Everyone was forgiven.
However, the Beijing inspection was not over yet, and Xin Zixiu was of course unwilling to give in. At this time, He Qiming, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was included in the list of "relics" during the Beijing inspection. The "reproduction" of the Beijing inspection refers to the original assessment results
If it was omitted, let the Ke Dao officer who was in charge of supervision discuss it again. Now Xin Zixiu had fighting strength again. Under Xin Zixiu's instruction, the censor Zhang Minggang and others performed picket duties, and the first attack was He Qiming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
And the backstage of this minister of the Ministry of Industry is not weak. He is very close to Zhang Cheng, the chief eunuch in charge of rituals. This is equivalent to someone in He Qiming Palace!
This is because all ministers of the Ministry of Works must have a good relationship with the eunuchs in the inner palace, because the Ministry of Works is in charge of engineering construction, and the number of construction projects in the palace is the largest.
The funds for these projects were often colluded between Ministry of Industry officials and the eunuchs in charge of the projects. This is how He Qiming and the eunuch Zhang Cheng got together.
Zhang Cheng began to work for He Qiming, but Chen Yujiao had already defected, so he directly got involved. Chen Yujiao wrote a letter saying that He Qiming and Xin Zixiu, who was in charge of the capital inspection, would be released.
Commenting together, this is actually an attack on Xin Zixiu and an excuse for He Qiming.
Xin Zixiujin was stabbed in the back three times, and in anger he resigned due to illness.
Censor Gao Weisong, Zhao Qing, Zhang Minggang, and Zuo Zhiyi were dissatisfied, and Shangshu impeached He Qiming. He Qiming was forced to become an official. But Emperor Wanli had a soft ear, and everyone he listened to felt that it was right. Zhang Cheng would be here again
With his ears chirping, Emperor Wanli believed Zhang Cheng's words, believed He Qiming and doubted Xin Zixiu.
Then he blamed Gao Weisong and said, "Every time someone is employed in the imperial court, the officials will attack them one after another. How can you raise your voice now? You are the ones who are worthy of this responsibility." Gao Weisong and others were transferred out of the capital, and some officials immediately transferred them to Gao Weisong.
Ye was punished for complaining.
At this time, the originally lively Beijing-Cha plan came to an end. In the final analysis, it was because Emperor Wanli had no independent opinion. Everyone he listened to felt reasonable, and he had no sense of responsibility or decision-making.
After the last Beijing inspection, out of more than 2,000 Beijing officials, only 33 people were punished in the end, and these 33 people were all unlucky people with no backing. All the yamen such as the Ministry of Personnel, the Inspectorate, and the Hanlin Academy were punished.
None of them.
