Jiajing thought this way, and why did Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao think so?
This case of Tianjin Wei was equivalent to tearing off the fig leaf of the entire court. Just like Yang Tinghe, he was the Minister of Personnel. Jiang Xin was very outstanding in many academic exams in previous years. He was such a cruel and greedy official.
Yang Tinghe is probably to blame for his repeated rated as an outstanding official by the Ministry of Personnel.
Once this matter is spread, the Ministry of Personnel will definitely be criticized. If it involves the Ministry of Personnel, it will involve Yang Tinghe. What should we do if Yang Tinghe’s reputation is?
As for Wang Ao, it is actually similar. He is responsible for pursuing the administration. As a result, such a big stupid insect under his nose actually committed such a big case before he was discovered. How could he put his old face?
The three kings and ministers look at me and I look at you. Although they usually fight openly and secretly, they are all behind the scenes, but now their ideas are surprisingly consistent - this matter must be covered, but they cannot be covered.
No one has any good results.
Although everyone had this idea, no one said what he wanted to say. After all, he could not help but seem to be eager to shirk responsibility. If the Xu Shidu, who was far away in Tianjin, knew that the matter would turn out to be a complete
At this point, I probably don’t know whether to cry or laugh.
Even such a horrifying thing will be recorded in the Ming Dynasty in the future. If this Ming Dynasty is circulated in later generations, it may become a proof of Jiajing's incompetence, and it will also become a proof of Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao's corpse, for the bustling world.
For people, the immediate interests are the most important. They are all for profit. However, for people like the emperor and the cabinet ministers, the name of later generations is of extraordinary significance. All their decisions are
We must weigh this illusory thing and consider it. They will take over the benefits of the world. This reputation naturally became the focus of their pursuit.
Yang Tinghe coughed and finally said, "What about your majesty, what does your majesty mean?"
The ball hit Jiajing's feet again. It was rare that Yang Tinghe would be unremitting. It was rare that he would follow the lead of Jiajing's horse.
Jiajing looked very bad, but he had no choice but to say, "Jiang Xin must deal with it, but in order to prevent criticism from the public, he was punished for the serious crime of corruption."
Wang Ao couldn't help but say: "How to sentence?"
Jiajing pondered: "Of course, the heavier the better. It is said that it is to serve as a warning and intimidate illegal officials. It is directly sentenced to a corruption of money, which is particularly serious, knowing the law and neglecting the duties. The three crimes are punished together, and it is planned to be executed after the autumn next year.
The family was confiscated again, and all the men in the family were exiled for thousands of miles, and the women were converted into the Jiaofangsi as slaves. The two gentlemen thought what they said."
Although it is not a treason for rebellion, the punishment is almost the same. Although the lives of the family members have been saved, they are exile and slavery, and in fact there is no difference between them and killing them.
After hearing Jiajing's words, Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao immediately said, "Your Majesty is wise."
Jiajing smiled bitterly when he heard this. He usually didn't see the sage. Now when everyone covered the cover together, he praised the sage. He hesitated and said, "Since Jiang Xin is corrupt, what should I do if the Tanggu case is?
”
Yang Tinghe said without hesitation: "This is easy. These people are pirates, so you might as well say that they are the Japanese pirates who have been spread to Tianjin. The Japanese pirates invaded Tianjin. Our Ming Dynasty Wuying Hall Captain Keri suppressed the thieves. All the people involved in this matter
, all of them were executed on the spot, and naturally no one cared about this matter."
Jiajing nodded. These people were indeed no different from Japanese pirates. No one questioned them. This was like dividing a case into two cases. The two things that Jiang Xin committed were divided into two, and Jiang
There was nothing wrong with Xin and this group of villains asking for guilt separately.
But the problem is not without it. The real difficult problem is, what are the insiders of this matter? The Jinyiwei Baihu is easy to say. He is a personal army, so he naturally dare not talk nonsense. As for the Tianjin Wei commander, it is involved.
Many problems, as long as someone is sent to warn him, if he dares to talk nonsense, he can immediately deal with it in the name of neglecting his duties and causing the Japanese pirates to land in a state of no one.
But there are three people, and it is not easy to block their mouths. The first one is Xu Jie. Xu Jie is a Qingliu official. Qingliu official means that he dares to say anything and dares to poke any kind of trick. If he pokes out the trick
what to do?
The second is Xu Qian. Xu Qian is famous for fear of the world being in chaos. If he talks nonsense, or when he is not in the face of Yang Tinghe, he will use this as a matter of trouble.
Of course, as long as Jiajing comes forward, he will give him a hint that he will be cautious in his words and actions. But the problem is that people have worked hard to get things done, so the truth is revealed and Jiang Xin is found, but the result is this
As a result, he was silent now. If he didn't give him some benefits to comfort him, it would be obviously unkind.
The last person is Deng Jian. Deng Jian suffered a great loss in this matter and almost couldn't even save his life. He worked hard to live up to expectations and came back from overseas. As a result, he suffered this mute loss as soon as he landed. If this guy didn't
What about opening up?
Jiajing said lightly: "Xu Jie has fulfilled his grace this time and has made great contributions. You might as well order him to go to the Zhanshi Mansion. The imperial edict will be issued today. As for Xu Qian, he has made great contributions in practicing the Royal Captain, and this time, Wuying Palace School
The wise man used great achievements to eliminate the Japanese pirates. I have to consider how to reward him. However, Deng Jian, it is said that he traveled thousands of miles to patrol all directions on me. It was very hard, and even if he had no achievements, he would have worked hard. So he ordered him to
The Sea Pacification Envoy, the Sea Pacification Envoy, anyway, I plan to set up a Sea Pacification Envoy, so I let him take office, and it is tentatively set to be the sixth rank. How about it?"
All three of them have gained benefits. Xu Qian has not yet received a favor, but it will definitely not be missing. Xu Jie was also lucky. He was originally sent to Dali Temple. Although his background was very good, he directly asked him to go to Zhan this time.
Although the prince is young now and there is no prince in the Zhanshi Mansion, as long as you step into the Zhanshi Mansion, your future will definitely be limitless. The chances of getting from the Zhanshi Mansion to the cabinet are better than the Hanlin Academy
The chance of entering the cabinet is several times higher.
As for the so-called sea route comforting envoy, there are more names. Logically speaking, the comforting envoy is a fifth-rank yamen, which is similar to the governor's office, and is equivalent to the governor's office, but like this governor's office, it is also
It is a name-and-death situation. Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty has rarely seen the yamen of the Pacification Envoy. Only when the situation is special is special, but Jiajing created a sea-to-road Pacification Envoy, but the level is only the sixth rank. It can be seen that he is just taking advantage of the issue and making a fuss.
It’s just to give Deng Jian a name and let him run a boat well.
In the past, Deng Jian's official position was the ambassador of the Sea and a ninth-rank military officer. The ninth-rank was promoted to the sixth-rank, which was just like the Rockets. However, this kind of thing is common. It is easy for low-rank officials to be promoted, but to the sixth-rank official
It is much harder to go up every step. The most important thing is that the former ambassador was just a resigned official, but now it is equivalent to being a regular official. After becoming a regular official, Deng Jian is equivalent to being a formal official and can be open and upright.
Recruiting personnel, sailors and other personnel. Of course, the court will never suffer any losses. For example, the court gave the county magistrate, prefect, and governors the right to recruit entourages and servants by themselves. You can recruit as much as you want. Of course, salary
You pay for it yourself.
The reward proposed by Jiajing is extremely generous, and in a sense, it directly changed the fate of Xu Jie and Deng Jian. If it were other times, Yang Tinghe would have to oppose it, but the reason was that it was not in line with the rules, but now it is different from the past.
Yang Tinghe was naturally not stupid, but just nodded: "Yes."
Wang Ao naturally did not object, but couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what is the errand in charge of the Seaway Pacification Envoy?"
Wang Ao is a serious person. Since he has created a sea-road comforting envoy, he must ask clearly.
Jiajing pondered: "Put the various vassals and patrol the sea routes."
This is a very general saying. The more general things, the greater the power, the greater the power. For example, to appease the various vassals, how can these vassals be pacified? The vassal states want to trade with you, do you trade with them? Do you trade with them? The vassal states are out of the domestic states
If you want to quell the chaos after the problem, do you quell the chaos? If there is a dispute in the vassal state, do you need to coordinate? The so-called appeasement and recruitment envoys actually have the same functions. They can ignore everything, and they can also
It can be interfered with, all based on personal hobbies.
If you patrol the sea, it would be even more general. The court is blind to the so-called sea route. You don’t know how many islands there are on the sea. If you encounter pirates, do you want to take care of the sea route? There are various countries.
Merchant shipping trade, should the Celestial Kingdom care about it?
Wang Ao smiled bitterly and said in his heart, I hope that this person named Deng would not learn from Xu Qian. If he followed Xu Qian's character, he would have to turn over the vast ocean and the sea. However, as a cabinet minister,
There is not much interest in this kind of fact. Even if he is interested, Mr. Wang doesn't understand. Finally, he raised the last question: "If the matter is not explained clearly now, what should I do if a censor impeaches Xu Qian and others?
The court had already had a big fuss. Since His Majesty intends to cover up this matter, what argument should he use to deal with the censor?"
Jiajing looked at Yang Tinghe with a smile: "I'm afraid I can only ask Mr. Yang for this matter. What do you think Mr. Yang should do?"
The emperor has been so kind and righteous. You can’t just cover up the ugly and not do anything. Yang Tinghe naturally knew this truth. He pondered for a moment, and then said firmly: “This is easy, nothing more than four words - killing a chicken to scare the monkey!” (To be continued)
