Chapter 538 A quick double kill! (Please vote for me!)
After Lin Tailai listened to the work report, the sun turned a little west and it was the customary time to get off work.
As soon as I walked to the front yard of the Ministry of Rites, I bumped into Zhao Yongxian, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was coming back from outside. It could be said that we were enemies on a narrow road.
This is the first meeting between the first deputy leader and the second-largest figure in the literary rebel group since last year's literary conference.
Zhao Yongxian has recently been frustrated in the literary world and proud in the political world. With the title of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, he became the first person in Xinweike in the fifth year of Longqing's reign.
Among the contemporaries who were lamenting everywhere, this was a very difficult achievement. After all, the examiner of Xin Weike in the 5th year of Longqing was Zhang Juzheng.
Under the current political situation, this is the generation least trusted by the emperor, with only three or four others including him, Zhao Yongxian, being the exception.
Originally, Zhao Yongxian thought that when he faced Lin Tailai again, he could remain calm and that the "literary anti-criminal group" was a thing of the past.
But when Lin Tailai actually appeared in his field of vision today, his anger went straight to the sky without control.
Who made Lin Tailai publicly shout yesterday that he would be deposed within ten days? What is the difference between this extremely contemptuous attitude and "destroy this imperial eclipse"?
You, Lin Tailai, can disrespect Zhao Yongxian, but you cannot disrespect Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites!
Thinking of this, Zhao Yongxian shouted: "Lin Tailai! Did you hear that you made such nonsense yesterday?"
Lin Tailai pointed at Chen Yunjian and Shen Jue, the directors of the host and guest department, and said indifferently: "Yes, yes, I will depose you within ten days. That's what I said.
But it’s been left to them, these newbies, so I won’t accompany you and I’ll say goodbye!”
After saying that, Lin Tailai left in a swaggering manner. It seemed that Zhao Yongxian was already a dead man and he didn't even bother to take a second look.
Zhao Yongxian swore that if there weren't dozens of big men from the Lin family standing inside and outside the gate, he would never let Lin Tailai walk out of the Ministry of Rites intact!
When the officials passing by saw this scene, they had to admit that Lin Tailai's talent for ridicule was top-notch.
Zhao Yongxian, the left minister, had a lot of gas for no reason, and he didn't know how many days it would take him to digest it.
The next day, suddenly a wedding team arrived outside the house of Zhao Yongxian, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Wu Zhen, a student of the Imperial College, stood outside Zhao's house and claimed that he and Zhao Yongxian's daughter had made an engagement eighteen years ago and that they were here today to fulfill the engagement.
Zhao Yongxian is always a very angry person, but he directly told the shameless Wu Zhen to "fuck off"!
Although there was an engagement with the Wu family eighteen years ago, the engagement was broken off twelve years ago, and the Wu family’s betrothal gift was also withdrawn!
Wu Zhen turned around and went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, where he sued Zhao Yongxian with a written pleading.
Censor Pan Shizhang and Wang Yusheng quickly accepted the case and on the same day impeached Zhao Yongxian for "chasing a son-in-law based on wealth".
The inner court sent the matter to the Ministry of Rites for discussion. After all, it involved issues of etiquette, law and morality.
However, Chen Yunjian and Shen Ju, the directors of the Ministry of Rites, jointly protested, saying, "Zhao Yongxian is an official of the Ministry of Rites. The officials of the Ministry of Rites are afraid of his power, so how can they speak the truth?"
So the inner court brought the matter to the Hanlin Academy for discussion. After all, in terms of ideological yamen, apart from the Ministry of Rites, it was also the Hanlin Academy.
After a collegial meeting, the Hanlin Academy characterized Zhao Yongxian's breakup of marriage as "disregarding the law and abandoning ethics."
The development of the situation was extremely fast, as if every link was connected very precisely and smoothly, and the next link was entered without any delay.
In just five or six days, like a storm, Zhao Yongxian, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was already in a precarious situation.
A person who regards morality as the foundation of his political career is characterized as "chasing his son-in-law based on wealth and disregarding the law and abandoning ethics." What a waste!
With the communication and media efficiency of this era, most people seemed to have seen Zhao Yongxian’s house collapse before they could even react!
The ending was so quick! At this time, many people remembered that someone had said twice that "it will be abolished within ten days."
One of them, Zhao Yongxian, is almost finished, but what about the other one?
Just a few months after taking office, Sun Quan, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the governor of Taicang, who had withheld a loan of 100,000 taels for the Wusong River dredging project this year, slowly walked into the courtyard of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Not surprisingly, Sun Qin found that everyone was looking at him, a bit like looking at a dead person.
Sun Qin, who was over sixty and not in good health, was very sensitive to this kind of look and couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Diao Sang! Niang Sabi! Wooden pillar cards! What a bitch! What are you looking at!
A familiar scribe asked: "Young Situ looks bad. Didn't he sleep well last night?"
Sun Qin was not afraid, but he had been reflecting on himself last night. Is there any way he could be caught?
At this time, Wang Situ, the Minister of Household Affairs, invited Sun Qin to come over, which aroused Sun Qin's vigilance.
Everyone knows that Lin Tailai is Wang Situ’s brother-in-law!
At this very sensitive moment, no matter how vigilant you are to Wang Situ!
"Some people recently accused our treasury of being in deficit for three consecutive years," Wang Situ said.
Sun Qin's subconscious stress reaction said: "This is not my responsibility!"
He has only been governor of Taicang for a few months? He cannot bear the blame for the national treasury's shortfall!
Wang Situ looked at Sun Qin in surprise, why are you so excited?
Then he said: "No one said it was your responsibility. The imperial court has decided to discuss it with the Ministry of Household Affairs. It's your turn to write a statement and explain on paper how to solve it."
It sounds like a completely normal work arrangement. From Sun Quan's perspective, he can't see any problems. Could it be that he is paranoid?
??????55.??????
Since I am in charge of the treasury, of course I should write my own notes. There is nothing wrong with that.
Sun Quan returned to Zuotang and began to draw up a draft of the terms.
When the imperial court inquired about the treasury deficit, the statement was of course centered on how to solve the treasury deficit problem.
It is impossible to open source open source, so we can only focus on "reducing expenditures".
"Today, the profit holes have been exhausted, and there is no source of new opportunities. As the annual income is getting smaller and the annual income is increasing, we should strictly lay off redundant personnel and save expenses.
For example, there are salary officials in Jinyiwei, vacancies in the capital camp, craftsmen in the inner government, translators, generals, prefaces, music and dance students in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites; the kitchen servants in Guanglu Temple should be prioritized and gradually cut off.
Frugality is the way to make money.”
After Sun Quan finished writing the statement, he checked it several times and found no risks, so he submitted it.
After that, it seemed like everything was calm for two days! Nothing happened!
But outside the field of vision of the civil servants, among the middle and lower-level military attachés, a piece of news spread quickly - Sun Qin, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the governor of Taicang, reported that in order to enrich the national treasury, the number of officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp would be reduced!
By coincidence, there was an announcement from Dongcheng Lumi Warehouse, delaying the distribution of Lumi for that month.
So hundreds of military attachés gathered outside the left gate of Chang'an and made loud noises!
When Sun Quan, the left minister of Hubu and the governor of Taicang, came out of the left gate of Chang'an, he was recognized and was besieged by hundreds of angry military attaches!
Sun Shao Situ's sedan chair was overturned on the spot, his official robe was torn to pieces, and his black gauze hat was knocked off. His condition was extremely miserable.
Fortunately, Lin Tailai, editor of the Hanlin Academy and chief guest of the Department of Etiquette, got off work early and passed by this place just in time for the meeting.
Then Lin Tailai led his servants to attack the rioting military attachés and fight bloody battles in the long street!
After injuring more than 200 military attachés on the spot, Sun Shao Situ was rescued by force!
Everything happened so suddenly and quickly! Before anyone could react, Sun Qin also suffered!
After getting this result, the Qingliu forces directly bombed the camp. Those two words that "it will be destroyed within ten days" still rang in their ears, but they were actually killed by both men!
The little situation we worked so hard to regain in the second half of last year was completely ruined in a few days!
The key is that it was too fast, too sudden and too unexpected, leaving no time for them to counterattack and save themselves!
The entire officialdom of the capital was also shaken! We have all seen political struggles, but never such an efficient and fast one!
These are two quasi-first-line heavyweight ministers, not two middle- and low-level officials, but they seem to have been cut by a sickle.
Jin Bu, Ji Bu’s Bu, Ji Bu’s Bu with a promise of a thousand pieces of gold!
Although Lin Tailai did not appear in any link except for "rescuing" Sun Quan, and his superficial presence was almost nonexistent, he still became the focus of the entire capital's official circles.
At this time, the spotlight star appeared outside the gate of the Ministry of War, saying hello to Shen Yongmao, who also got off work early:
"I want to visit your mansion tonight, and I hope your mansion won't turn you away!"
Shen Yongmao: ""
Are you afraid that others won't know that it was the chief assistant who ordered you?
When you don't need it, you just throw it away, but when you need it, you are so attentive? This is a chief assistant, not a rag!
"How can you think like this?" Lin Tailai argued on the way: "Last year my father-in-law sent me a letter saying that the situation was not good and suggesting that I should do something.
Therefore, after I enter the capital this time, I will first complete your father's mission and try my best to reverse the situation, and then I can go to see your father."
Thinking of this "quick double kill", Shen Yongmao sighed from the bottom of his heart, "Your talent for political struggle is really overflowing."
Lin Tailai said dissatisfiedly: "Isn't that too disrespectful? Do I only have talent for political fighting? Don't I have talents in literature, martial arts, exams, military, economics, etc. that are not overflowing?"
In a few decades, I will let you know what old man Shiquan is!"
Shen Yongmao thought of something again, "My father reminded me last night that the Qingliu forces are definitely going to stir up the national dispute again, so I have to be careful."
After Lin Tailai thought about it for a while, he understood why Shen Shoufu made such a judgment.
It's just that the Qingliu forces were caught off guard and wanted to divert conflicts and attention through the dispute over the country. It's not new if you see through it.
Maybe he wants to use the dispute over the country's origins to involve himself in it and trigger thunder from the sky to bombard him.
Lin Taizi said to himself: "It seems that the hatred between the Zheng family and the relatives of the country will be deepened again."
Shen Yongmao was speechless, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for the Zheng family.
"What happened to the Zheng family recently?" Lin Tailai asked Shen Yongmao.
Shen Yongmao replied: "Last year, the state's father-in-law, Zheng Chengxian, who was appointed the governor and tongzhi, passed away. Recently, the state's uncle, Zheng Guotai, wanted to inherit the official position of the governor and tongzhi.
However, the governor knew that he was a temporary official among the military attachés, not a secular official who could be inherited, so Zheng Guotai's petition was really whimsical.
Besides, with Zheng Guotai’s status, he is not worthy of being named the First Grade Governor and Tongzhi.”
Lin Tailai said happily: "Isn't this how to live?"
