The governor didn't even have time to sit down and have tea, so he walked away with a large group of people.
Wang Mingchuan kept sending the governor outside the city, watching the governor's sedan leave, and his whole body became solemn. The only thing to do now seems to be waiting. As the governor said, the matter here is no longer something that anyone in Zhejiang can decide.
At this time, he was a little disappointed. He was at this point and should have been content. But now, thinking about his control everywhere and being teased by a little student, it is better to say that the reason lies with him. If he doesn't do anything wrong, how could a dignified governor be forced by a student step by step?
However, Wang Mingchuan's sentimentality did not last long. His face became colder and colder, and there was a bit of murderous intent deep in his eyes.
………………………………
After leaving the governor, Xu Qian returned to his residence. This place was not only his living place, but also his place to organize black materials. Several clerks transferred from the Cao army also worked here, and would whisper from time to time.
Next door is Deng Jian’s ‘suppression room’. He will offend people by exercising punishment. Zhou Dusi’s old fry naturally refused to do it, so he could only leave it to Deng Jian. Anyway, Brother Deng has already followed Brother Xiao Xu and has no concerns.
However, at this time, the clerks retreated, and Xu Qian was casually holding a collection of books and looking at the book of accounts. Zhou Dusi moved a stool and sat on the side quietly looking at the guy Xu Qian. In his opinion, Xu Qian was simply unreasonable. Could this guy really have to offend everyone? He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was such a fool who was stupid in his studies.
But it seems a bit inappropriate to say that this guy is stupid, because this guy's plan is step by step. He first pulled him Zhou Dusi into the water, then brought the Cao army to establish his authority, and then encouraged the exposing him. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a nerd, but a veteran who was well versed in the world.
Thinking of this, Xu Qian's impression of Zhou Dusi was a little shaky. Is this guy smart or a fool?
Deng Jian sat on the other side. He became addicted to torture these days. When he saw someone, his hands were itchy. He had become accustomed to occupational diseases in just a few days. His mood was no less complicated than Zhou Dusi. However, after he and Xu Qian were together for a long time, he had already had some unconditional recognition of Xu Qian. In his mind, although the Xu brothers were bastards, they were also our bastards.
"Governor is gone?" Xu Qian suddenly looked up, as if he had suddenly thought of something.
Zhou Dusi smiled bitterly and said, "I've left long ago. The governor's face turned green. Alas..." He sighed heavily, hating his humble hands, why did he get caught by Xu Qian? He hated his weak will, and Xu Qian led the bull's nose, and even hated himself for being unlucky. Why did he meet such a guy? This guy is simply an official killer and everyone is disgusted with him. In just a few days, he offended 80% of the officials in Zhejiang alone. Even the governor was so angry that he vomited blood. When he was hanging with such a person, he really didn't know what the outcome would be.
Xu Qianhe nodded and sighed, "I had expected him to leave, and he came here just to mix with him. If he could not mix with him, it would be better to leave."
Zhou Dusi frowned and said, "Why do you have to offend him? Anyway, everything you should investigate has been investigated. You said this is a job of imperial destiny, but the job has been done. It is better to sell his favor. In this way, it will not force people to a dead end."
Xu Qian smiled and shook his head.
Zhou Dusi couldn't help but say that Xu Qian's attitude: "What are you laughing at? Could it be that I'm wrong?"
Xu Qian sighed and said, "What the adults said is right, but it is not right. Have you heard a saying that one general can achieve success and thousands of bones are undone?"
Zhou Dusi sneered: "How could I not know? I was originally crawling out of a sea of corpses and blood. When I was in Xuanfu..."
Xu Qian sighed without waiting for him to recall his glorious past experience, "In fact, if the two countries are moving troops, the soldiers under the lower side must make meritorious contributions. If they want to make me a contribution, they must kill people. The more people they kill, the greater the contributions they will be. I am like this, why am I the same? I ordered me to investigate the business searches, do you really think it is that simple? You are wrong. This is the emperor who wants to kill a chicken to warn monkeys, and to kill a group of people who are slanderous and disobedient, and to kill a group of people who do not know the power and good. My future lies in this. I am a knife now and I must never compromise. Once I compromise, what is the use of it to the emperor? The emperor is rich in all over the world, and everyone is his ministers. With a wave of his hand, some people serve him, but why did he choose me alone?"
Zhou Dusi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't expect that Xu Qian had so many plans in his heart.
Xu Qian continued: "A general's success has been broken, and these people in Chun'an are my dry bones. They have hindered my future and blocked my way. Why do I have to show mercy? If I shake a little, I am afraid I will become their dry bones. In fact, when I die, I was destined to be a cowardly and inaction scholar. I am destined to be more cunning and ruthless than others. This is the way of heaven. The great way is shaky. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish."
Deng Jian couldn't help but say, "Since I met Brother Xu, I was destined to be frightened. Could it be that this is also fate?"
Xu Qian looked at him angrily and said, "What is the fear of those who accomplish great things?"
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the cabinet, early in the morning, several cabinet ministers passed the Tai Chi Gate and arrived here one after another.
As usual, everyone was not in a hurry to work when they entered. They sat and had tea, and did not talk about official duties. They were waiting for the imperial edicts in the palace at any time.
This is the rule of the Jiajing year. Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne and is working hard, almost every time the time of Mao, the ministers will be told to enter the East Pavilion to discuss matters.
Nowadays, the three bachelors of the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, the first assistant was Yang Tinghe, followed by Jiang Mian, Mao Ji and Yang Tinghe, with dignified appearance and graceful manners, but Jiang Mian, the Grand Secretary of the Jinshen Palace, was fat, while Mao Ji, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace, was short, and the three were of varying ages, with great differences in appearance and personality, and they were different, but they were usually tolerant of each other, so they were quite united.
However, the atmosphere today seems a bit heavy. Yesterday, the cabinet had already circulated many impeachments. It is strange that so many ministers impeached all small students, and the fact that this life member is far away in Hangzhou, it is impossible for him to be a person who is paying attention to the people. However, Xu Qian has become the focus of the court's attention. Not only that, the content of the impeachment is also particularly serious. He is arbitrarily mobilized troops and killed officials in the court. Such a thing is no different from rebellion.
When the three bachelors in the cabinet read the memorial at first glance, they actually felt that something must be a problem, so they did not rush to make a decision. But when they arrived at the cabinet early this morning, everyone had their own thoughts.
In the end, what he couldn't resist was Mao Ji. Mao Ji was a little impulsive. Not only that, this matter was also somewhat involved with him. He now holds the title of Left Minister of Personnel, and he urged the local officials to be awarded the merits of the Zhejiang governor Wang Mingchuan, who was personally praised last year, saying that this person was law-abiding, clean and honest, and had excellent political achievements. He gave a high-level evaluation and ordered someone to record him in his residence to commend him.
But now Wang Mingchuan is involved in such a big case, which really makes Mr. Mao very embarrassed. He glanced at Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian, then smiled and said, "Why did a student cause such a big thing? Alas... the new emperor ascended the throne, and the country has eliminated the bad policies and rehabilitated the unjust case, which has made the law relax. The young student mobilized the Cao army without authorization and killed the ministers..." Mao Ji shook his head and said with great pain: "What is the Cao army? The Cao army is related to the safety of the Cao army, and involves taxes and the major matter of food and grass entering the capital, but now someone has been transferred without authorization. How much does this involve? If Xu Qian is not punished heavily, if everyone imitates it in the future, the world will be in chaos. What do you think?"
Yang Tinghe was eating tea slowly, as if he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.
Jiang Mian couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Mao said it well. This student is indeed bold." He said, "But even though he said that he should be punished heavily, it is inappropriate. I heard that this student is a talented man in Hangzhou, with a talented man, and now he has won the Little Three Yuan, and his poems are also very good. I once read a poem by him and I like it quite a lot. It is inevitable that young people are younger and more crazy, and they are also obsessed with the imperial destiny, so they will inevitably make mistakes. As long as the original intention is good, it's okay. In my opinion, as long as you punish a little, it's just a little bit of punishment. I just need to be directly accused of the government's army and the killing of the imperial officials. I'm afraid it will ruin people's future."
The reason why Jiang Mian said this was because he was a loving talent. In addition, he also felt that Xu Qian was a bad student after all. Although it was too much, if the punishment was too heavy, which imperial envoy would dare to let go of his hands and do things in the future?
But Mao Ji felt something was wrong in his ears. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Tinghe sideways. Seeing Yang Tinghe frowned slightly while Jiang Mian was talking, Mao Ji thought of him and said, "What kind of talented man? The so-called child prodigy is just a deceiving reputation. There are so many child prodigy in the world. How many are they really talented?"
After Mao Ji finished speaking, his face looked angry, but Yang Tinghe couldn't help but frown again, as if he could already feel the smell of gunpowder between both sides.
You should know that Jiang Mian and Xueshu were also talented children and prodigy in the past. They were extremely talented and known as child prodigy. They were valued by the world. They could read them at the age of ten. Mao Ji would not know about this, but now he scolded this child prodigy fiercely, wouldn’t it be that Jiang Mian was scolding him?
Jiang Mian always had a smile on her face, and she didn't seem to notice the maneuver in Mao Ji's mouth. She smiled at Mao Ji and stopped talking.
