Chapter 93 You Don't Even Want to Call Me Chief Governor
Chapter 93 You don’t even want to call me Grand Governor
As long as there is no food in it, it is not considered a loss. If there is no loss, you will naturally get a superior evaluation and a double allowance... It's all natural and there is nothing wrong with it.
Just why does the imperial court have a granary that does not contain grain? To support the officials in charge of the warehouse?
And it’s not just one, it’s eight!
This thing is simply ridiculous.
According to the previous explanation, Xia Yuanji will probably have to write an article to denounce him and impeach him, so that Xia Yuanji can have a taste of his own power.
But now, Xie Jin has become much more honest. He bowed and said: "Xu Tongzheng, do you think you should impeach Xia Yuanji and let him have a taste of his power?"
Xu Jingchang shook his head slightly, "No."
"Why?" Xie Jin said: "Now the evidence is conclusive. As long as it is handed over, His Majesty will be furious. When the time comes, Xia Shangshu will definitely be blamed."
Xu Jingchang still shook his head and looked at Xie Jin with a half-smile.
Xie Jin had to think, why not?
This incident can make Xia Yuanji disgraced, but he is still far away from overthrowing Xia Yuanji!
Even because the autumn harvest is around the corner, Zhu Di might suppress the matter. After all, the emperor has thousands of people in his heart, and how much can be wasted with just eight warehouses?
Things have priorities, don't be reckless.
Xie Jin gradually understood Xu Jingchang's smile. There was indeed great wisdom hidden in it. If he wanted to secure his position as general secretary, he must master these skills.
Xu Jingchang came out of the General Administration Department and looked back at this glorious Yamen.
"What bad news?" Zhu Zhanji said stupidly.
But Ji Gang thought he was the emperor's sharp sword and took pleasure in antagonizing the officials.
After Xu Jingchang said this, he stood up, patted his butt, and said with a smile: "It's time for me to leave. I will leave the General Affairs Department to you."
Rather than making a plan, this is clearly a test of oneself.
It's just that some people are destined to have no relationship with Leshi. Jinyiwei has already obtained the information that the General Affairs Department "accidentally" revealed. Since they were in the capital, they verified it clearly that day. The eight warehouses were empty, and each warehouse was equipped with three people.
There are three official officials, as well as a number of clerks and servants, almost a hundred people in total!
Xia Yuanji claims to be a good financial manager, but he is wasting national and public funds like this?
After a while, Ji Gang hurried in, saw Xu Jingchang, and immediately saluted.
"Ji Gang, commander of the Jinyi Guards?" Xie Jin blurted out, and then stared at Xu Jingchang in surprise, "Xu Tongzheng, Ji Gang is now under your command, is it convenient to attack him?"
The case of Li Zhigang has just been handled recently. A large number of officials suffered misfortune at his hands, and the homes of large local households were also confiscated by him.
Who would believe this!
In fact, there is another reason why he inferred Xie Jin. Xie Jin is a member of the current cabinet, and he also has the highest official position. The chief minister of the cabinet also serves as the general affairs envoy. If it can be established as a practice, the prime minister's power may be able to use the general affairs secretary.
Rebirth.
Zhu Zhanji ran with his butt stuck out. Before misfortune strikes, it’s better to seize the time and enjoy a good life!
Be happy every day, be happy for a while...
As expected of the Minister of Civil Affairs, he got to the point right away.
"Cousin, as long as you don't let Master Xie embarrass me, I will listen to you in everything." The black boy hugged Xu Jingchang's thigh and rubbed it so hard that he almost fell to the ground.
He thought for a long time before asking for advice: "Xu Tongzheng, what do you want to do about this matter?"
Other things don't matter. If each government office is not allowed to expand its personnel, it would be against heaven's rules. What's more, increasing the number of warehouses and officials is approved by the Ministry of Personnel.
A lot of blood has aroused everyone's bad memories of the four major Hongwu cases.
Zheng Ci nodded and said: "Indeed, our Criminal Department has also checked the files. Jin Yiwei's handling of the case is full of loopholes. There are many false accusations against Zhongliang and no distinction between right and wrong. If Xia Shangshu is willing to expose Jin Yiwei's crimes, I will follow closely."
Xie Jin was stunned for a while, it was true, Xia Yuanji held the power of the budget, and no yamen had to give others face, otherwise they might really be slaughtered.
As soon as the three ministers met, Xia Yuanji told Ji Gang's actions, and Zheng Ci immediately became furious, "What does he want to do? The Ming Dynasty has become his? A mere commander of the Jinyi Guards dares to frame the imperial minister. How arrogant!"
"The bad news is that after the autumn harvest, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, and Hu Guang, these four will return to Beijing. Your father also plans to let Hu Yan teach you part-time. One master went and five came. Your Highness, please do your best.
ah!"
Xu Jingchang paused and said: "Xie Xueshi, I shouldn't say more, but after talking about this, I would like to advise you again, don't think you are so smart. Maybe your literary talent is world-class, but your planning may not be better than others.
How much stronger."
Xie Jin couldn't help but think of the imperial examination. He started from the county examination, passed five levels, defeated six generals, and experienced countless examinations. But any examination would not be as exciting as today's one.
It's abominable!
"Find me eight, the most famous ones in the Qinhuai River. Let's sing a big opera in the Xu Mansion to celebrate my dismissal from office!"
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Zhanji also attended the show.
A good trick can drive away tigers and devour wolves, and kill cows from across the mountains.
I have to say that this boss is really good at business, and Xu Jingchang gave him a double reward.
Just attacking Ji Gang for corruption is the best choice.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Master Xie probably has no time to take care of you anymore... This is good news, but I also have bad news. Do you want to hear it?"
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "Isn't it a little late to come here at this time? That's all, I have a kind heart, let him come in."
Ji Gang is a desperado with a cruel nature.
Xu Jingchang nodded and said: "I can't think of it, but I know that Xia Yuanji must have it. The reason why I can deal with them is not that I am any better than them, but that they are afraid of my identity and don't dare to play too hard with me.
, Otherwise, they will not be able to withstand the Queen’s anger.”
Jin Yiwei was busy sharpening his sword, but Xia Yuanji also got the news.
"I will pay my respects to Duke Dingguo."
If Xia Yuanji is unlucky because of this, other yamen will not be able to stay out of it.
The person chosen by the emperor's grandpa can be controlled by his cousin, which is amazing.
Xie Jin was shocked and couldn't help but bow deeply, "Thank you very much to Xu Tongzheng for your guidance. One day, Xie Jin will be able to live a peaceful life, all thanks to Xu Tongzheng's reinvention!"
Xu Jingchang was fishing at home when someone suddenly came to report that Commander Ji Gang asked to see him.
This is the first time in history that such a unique drama has been performed.
After thinking about it, they really asked them to find out that it was Xiao He who was chasing Han Xin under the moon.
Coincidentally, Zheng Ci, the Minister of Punishment, was also there, discussing the punishment of several local officials.
Zhu Di gave Xu Jingchang the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard, but it would be too naive to assume that Ji Gang would just follow orders.
Seeing that the two ministers were on his side, Xia Yuanji felt much better, "Jian Shangshu, Zheng Shangshu, and Jinyiwei are really arrogant and domineering. We are different from them. We must pay attention to the rules when doing things. Recently, Jinyiwei has punished corrupt officials and local big families.
, my household department received only 50,000 taels of money... The rest of the money has disappeared. Some of it was transferred to the local government to help the victims, which is natural. But more of it was definitely embezzled by Jin Yiwei. This
That’s the real giant beetle.”
Xu Jingchang laughed, "Of course we are looking for a person who regards all officials as his enemy, searches for officials all over the world, and wishes he could use the blood of officials to dye his official uniform red."
Xia Yuanji hurried to the Ministry of Personnel and found Jian Yi directly.
Xia Yuanji and Zheng Ci immediately nodded and agreed to Jian Yi's suggestion.
Xu Jingchang's rank is so high that Xie Jin almost fell to his knees.
As for what kind of impact it would have on the Ming Dynasty, Xu Jingchang couldn't say yet.
"In this case, do we have to let Xia Yuanji go?"
We, Xu Tongzheng, are the pillars of the Ming Dynasty and the main city of the country.
Xu Jingchang smiled slightly, "You said he is my subordinate, then go and ask him if he is willing to admit it?"
Anyway, how about love, so be it... No one can delay my listening to music this time!
Celebrate dismissal from office?
Facts have proved that whether it is the Jin Yiwei or the East Factory and the West Factory... their power comes from the emperor, and they are far from arrogant enough to write an imperial edict casually.
Although he is temporarily dismissed from office, he will be brought back sooner or later.
Ji Gang was preparing to impeach Xia Yuanji. He had already brought down Li Zhigang, the former Minister of Rites, and then took over Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs. This was a double kill, which greatly increased the prestige of Jinyiwei.
Xu Jingchang had a smile on his face, "Xie Xie, I won't tell you what to do. You think about it and make a plan for me."
Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened, and the next second he screamed, turned his head, and rushed into the room. Then a white sea turtle flew out, followed by a big yellow dog.
Jian Yi pondered and said: "This matter is not about favoritism and malpractice, it is just about recruiting a few officials in advance... If Ji Gang is allowed to act recklessly, the various ministries and yamen will not be able to recruit officials, and the government will not be able to implement it in the future... He is corrupt
According to the national code, crimes cannot be punished."
Okay, this is targeting me!
"Xu Tongzheng, are you going to reveal the news to Ji Gang?"
Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, then said: "It is the duty of the public to impeach the lawless ones. We instigate the officials to write letters, set the rules for impeachment, embezzle the confiscated proceeds, and frame the innocent."
Xie Jin couldn't help but take a deep breath, his expression changed again and again, and he pondered silently.
Because this is a test to test his ability to serve as an official. If the answer is not good, his official career will probably end here.
After thinking carefully, Xie Jin considered: "For some memorials submitted to the General Affairs Department, in addition to being distributed to the six yamen, there are also some that can be handed over to Jinyiwei for them to choose to check. I thought about this matter, together with
Leave other insignificant matters to Ji Gang. Let Ji Gang take the initiative to search for evidence and then report it to His Majesty. In this way, he can stay out of the matter. Even if Xia Yuanji makes an attack, it can be said that the handover was in a hurry and there was no time to verify, so please
Xia Shangshu understands."
Master Xie was sent to the General Affairs Department by his cousin, and his nightmare was finally over.
Thinking of this, Xie Jin couldn't help but look at Xu Jingchang... This was a blow to Xia Yuanji, but it wasn't a warning to Ji Gang.
Xia Yuanji and others were also favorites of the emperor. The three ministers joined forces and were the most powerful ones. Ji Gang couldn't bear it anymore.
"Let him go?" Xu Jingchang said hoarsely: "Xie Xueshi, in this position, you have to use the court as a chessboard and the officials as chess pieces. You need to have a plan to make moves. Just attack Xia Shangshu directly.
You were lucky enough to succeed, but you offended the powerful Minister of Household Affairs, what will happen to the budget of the Department of General Affairs next?"
Xu Jingchang looked at Zhu Zhanji's back and couldn't help laughing. It was a pleasure to tease the black boy when he had nothing to do.
Xu Jingchang nodded with a smile, "Yes, your arrangement is already very appropriate. I can't do better. But I also want to ask you, if you were Xia Yuanji, would you have any way to deal with impeachment?"
This is an additional question. Xie Jin thought for a while and said helplessly: "To be honest, I can't think of a better way besides asking for your Majesty's forgiveness."
Storms are raging on both sides, and a fierce fight is about to begin.
Be sure to choose a suitable play, otherwise you will offend Duke Ding and your life will be over.
The case decreed by His Majesty is now being called for injustice. Do you still want to overturn it?
Jian Yi paused and said in a low voice: "Let's not talk about the crime of framing innocent people. Just say that Jin Yiwei used the money that should be put into the national treasury to enrich his own pockets."
Xu Jingchang held the fishing rod in his hand and just snorted slightly.
Ji Gang was startled for a moment, and then said: "Dong Guo, I have here the irrefutable evidence of corruption and perversion of the law by the Ministry of Revenue. I boldly implore Duke Ding to hand it over to Your Majesty so that Xia Yuanji can be severely punished."
Xu Jingchang finally put down the fishing rod, "Why should I help you pass it in? Is it because His Majesty has conferred on me the Grand Governor of the Imperial Guard?"
Ji Gang nodded subconsciously, but Xu Jingchang sneered: "You don't even want to call me Grand Governor, you really don't know what I did wrong!"
