When Feng Ziying returned to Shuntian Yamen, Wang Wenyan was also waiting for him.
"Master Fu came here just now, and now he is going to Wanping County Government." Wang Wenyan reported: "He said that the relief grain reserves in several prefectures and counties are not optimistic, especially in Liangxiang.
He was worried about false reports in Fangshan, Zhuozhou and Wanping, so he had to go and see for himself."
Feng Ziying rubbed his temples, there were holes everywhere, and he couldn't worry about anything. This made him very anxious, and he didn't have much time to worry about the bad things in the Jia family.
Fu Shi is very capable, running around on his behalf. Unfortunately, neither Wang Wenyan nor Wu Yaoqing are officials. As his personal staff, they have the advantage of being flexible and able to function on special occasions, but their status also limits them in many cases, making it difficult for them to work in the field.
It works on many occasions.
Therefore, in the officialdom, one still has to have his own group of people.
It would be nice if Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Wu Di arrived.
Counting the days, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng arrived faster and were expected to take office after tomorrow. He planned to ask Mei Zhiye to accompany them for a while and accompany them to take office. This was also a test for Mei Zhiye.
Wu Di needs to wait a little longer and wait for the results of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's investigation into Miyun County Magistrate, but he estimates that there should be an answer within half a month.
But for him, it was just three counties that had captured his own people, and it would take some time for the three of them to control the situation. For him, this was not enough.
There are not many people in more than 20 states and counties who can be used. This is partly caused by Wu Daonan's laissez-faire in the past few years. Now he has to clean up the mess step by step.
Maybe I should talk to Master Qi and Master Qiao to see if they have anyone available, and then recommend one or two, and then talk to Gao Panlong myself?
Feng Ziying shook her head. That would be looking down too high on herself. She really regarded the Ministry of Civil Affairs as her own.
But if someone from Master Qi and Master Qiao wanted to come, they would probably be able to make arrangements without having to come forward themselves, right? Thinking of this, Feng Ziying was a little moved.
It's a pity that Xu Qixun, Chen Qiyu, Fu Zonglong and others, if they passed the exam together with him, they would be able to use it at this time. Now they are still observing politics and can only watch helplessly.
"Well, I understand, thank you for your hard work." Feng Ziying put down her hand, "Go and call Song Xian. Tomorrow I will go to the Ministry of Punishments to negotiate and ask him and Yao Qing to reveal the activities of the White Lotus Sect in Shuntian Prefecture and around Gyeonggi.
A detailed report will come out.”
"Sir, are you ready to take action?" Wang Wenyan also said a little excitedly.
"I'm afraid it depends on the situation. The Ministry of Punishment may not only focus on Shuntian Prefecture. They must consider several other prefectures in Shanxi and Beizhi for overall coordination, but I will try my best."
Feng Ziying didn't dare to vouch for it. He had already contacted Han Xu, and Han Xu expressed his full support, but Liu Yishu still had to do the work himself.
Wang Wenyan also calmed down, "It does require careful consideration. It involves too many areas, including the palace. The Ministry of Punishment should have more experience in this area."
"Don't worry, the court is currently focused on military affairs, and the White Lotus Sect has not yet risen to the level of a serious problem in the minds of the princes." Feng Ziying shook her head: "But as long as the Ministry of Punishment digs deep with us and comes up with some decent
When the results come out, the princes in the DPRK and China will feel it."
"Well, the Ministry of Punishment must have more professional staff in this area. There are also many veterans in this field. In addition, the White Lotus Sect is not a new thing. Over the years, all the officials in the Ministry of Punishment have some clues. If
If we can combine it with what we have mastered, we will definitely gain more." Wang Wenyan also nodded in approval.
Song Xian came soon.
After Feng Ziying clarified her identity in Shuntian Mansion, Song Xian quickly moved closer to Feng Ziying, contrary to his previous attitude of being close but not attached, and his subjective initiative was also quickly brought into play.
Feng Ziying could also understand. After all, the official promotion was also a figure with some status. He could not surrender to his subordinates without any scruples like the officials such as Li Fang Xingfang. After all, he was also a scholar, so he had to pay attention to some dignity.
But now that he is in charge of government affairs, there is nothing taboo about Song Xian surrendering.
"I've met you, sir." Song Xian was born with long eagle eyes, thin cheeks and a big aquiline nose. At first glance, he looked like a professional and cool official. Feng Ziying felt that this guy's aura was very suitable for his status as a promotion official.
"Sit down." Feng Ziying nodded, "Shou Xian, how is the situation of the White Lotus Sect recently?"
Gu Xi
After Song Xian expressed his stance, Feng Ziying generously handed over to him all the clues she had about the White Lotus Sect case.
As a professional, Song Xian had more channels than Wu Yaoqing and could more easily mobilize officials from the government office and Wanping and Daxing counties to do things.
Song Xian also understood that Feng Ziying handed over the "White Lotus Case" to him so solemnly, which was also a test, and based on the attitude of the other party's regard, he also knew the weight of the case.
For Song Xian himself, this is both a test and an opportunity.
If you do it well, you will not only be appreciated and recommended by Feng Ziying, and truly become one of his confidants, but also, based on the meaning revealed in Feng Ziying's words, you will also intend to introduce him to Han Xu, the left minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
This is undoubtedly a huge opportunity for him who has been wandering around in the sixth-grade position for several years.
How could Han Xu recognize him when he was a small official with a humble background and had the chance to meet a minister of the third rank? Now that he had the opportunity to meet him directly, he might even have to report to Han Xu in the future. That was simply...
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"The official has combed through all the clues handed over by the adults, and has a rough idea in his mind." Song Xian had obviously put in a lot of effort, and after sorting out his thoughts, he introduced: "Currently, the White Lotus Sect has several branches in the capital city.
There are two points, one is Hongqing Temple and the other is Cuihua Hutong. However, after extensive screening and analysis, Xiaguan concluded that Hongqing Temple should be just a temporary stop. The monks in Hongqing Temple are more like a different kind of place from them.
It is a close but interdependent cooperative relationship, and Cuihua Hutong is their nest in Beijing."
Feng Ziying nodded. Song Xian was still capable of making a relatively clear judgment so quickly. "Continue."
"So Xiaguan also focused on Cuihua Hutong. Based on some clues that Xianguan knew, Xiaguan probably knew something about Cuihua Hutong. This should be a branch of the White Lotus Sect in the capital city, and
Its leader should be Zhang Cuihua. When he was young, it was said that this person had close contacts with the White Lotus people in Yongping Mansion. He would go to Luanzhou to stay for a while almost every year. Her husband's family didn't care about her. He was probably brainwashed by her evil words...
"
"According to an uncertain clue obtained by the official, Zhang Cuihua should have close contacts with a demon surnamed Shi in the Shifokou area of Luanzhou. It is said that he became his disciple. The demon surnamed Shi was later imprisoned for fighting with weapons. I heard that
After being imprisoned, he changed his surname to Wang and disappeared, but he probably continued to communicate secretly with Zhang Cuihua..."
It was not easy. Feng Ziying did not expect that the other party could actually use relevant clues to reach the entrance of the White Lotus Sect in Luanzhou Shifokou.
Feng Ziying also had some clues in this area before, but they were fragmented. Moreover, he is now the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion. He is more focused on the White Lotus Sect in Shuntian Mansion and does not pay much attention to the situation in Yongping Mansion. However,
Song Xian was able to make contact quickly and find out the context, which shows the level of the other party.
"The first constitution, that must have happened many years ago, right?" Feng Ziying asked.
"Well, it was about ten years ago. This monster was very capable. It is said that he traveled around the capital, made friends with officials, and even went to heaven to listen. He was very capable. It was only later that after the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he favored Taoism, so he
If you are not interested in these sorcery, then you have broken this line..."
Song Xian's words were a little vague, but Feng Ziying understood that it turned out that the White Lotus Sect's connections in the palace actually extended to the era of Emperor Yuanxi. In other words, some of the servants in the palace during the Yuanxi Emperor's era were related to the White Lotus Sect. This may be
It has something to do with Emperor Yuan Xi's personal preferences. If something is good at the top, it must be bad at the bottom.
"Later, this demon took Luanzhou as his base, wandered around, and preached widely, such as the Wenxiang Sect, the Wuwei Sect, and the Eastern Mahayana Sect. They all came from the same lineage, but they just changed their names, and their essence remained unchanged.
Lao Mu, a vacuum hometown has always been the purpose he believed in, and he was deeply admired by the foolish men and women in the countryside. Later, he changed his strategy and also developed among the gentry and merchants in order to obtain financial support, and his power became even greater.
…”
"It seems that the White Lotus Sect has a deep foundation. It cannot be accomplished overnight. It is not easy for us to eradicate it." Feng Ziying sighed with emotion.
"It depends on what purpose you want to achieve." Song Xian pondered for a moment.
"Oh? What should I say?" Feng Ziying attached great importance to Song Xian's opinion. This person was a professional.
Dare to show off in front of yourself in such a tone, if you don't have something, you really don't dare.
"If you just want to destroy its connections in Shuntian Prefecture and eliminate its risks in Shuntian Prefecture, it is actually not difficult. But what is difficult is that it is difficult to cut off the roots, and it may involve branches and vines in other places. It will not be easy after a little time, these remnants will definitely
Wildfires never burn out, but the spring breeze blows and rekindles them." Song Xian's eyes were solemn, "It may even make it learn a lesson and make it more difficult to deal with in the future."
"Do you have any countermeasures for that first constitution?" Feng Ziying stopped thinking about it. Since the other party has this consideration, there must be a countermeasure.
"For lower officials, there are three strategies: upper, middle and lower. It all depends on what you think." Song Xian was confident and seemed to have expected that Feng Ziying would ask this question.
"Okay, let's talk about it." Feng Ziying felt that she was almost becoming Liu Bei, and the man in front of her was becoming Zhuge Kongming.
It seems that he has not misjudged the wrong person, and he has really handed over the White Lotus Sect case to the right person.
