Once something gets started, no one can control it.
Qiao Yingjia also felt this deeply. He admired the perseverance, courage and determination of his own age, but if this would start a bloody purge, he would have to think deeply. Already.
Everyone knows the disadvantages of the Kaizhong method. There are a lot of holes left over from the era of the Supreme Emperor. If you want to check them, you can definitely find countless them.
The question is, so what if we find out? Apart from a large number of scapegoats being kicked out, what will be the result? What about the businessmen behind them and the people who hide deeper?
Shen Guanyi talked to him, but he didn't express his position.
It is necessary for a new official to make a fuss when he takes office, otherwise no one will take you, the right deputy censor of the capital, seriously.
But where the fire comes from and to what extent it burns requires careful consideration.
"Xiu Ling, what do you think?" Qiao Yingjia specially summoned Yang He to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"The chief minister has come to visit us, why don't you give some face to Brother Ru Jun?" Yang He laughed.
When inspecting from Zhejiang and passing through Qingjiangpu, the two people had already discussed it and believed that the salt administration of the Great Zhou Dynasty was facing many problems, and the biggest victim of the empire's finances was the border troops on the nine sides.
"Face is earned by oneself. If anyone comes to say hello, we, the Procuratorate, will obey. Then who will give us face in the future?" Qiao Yingjia smiled coldly, "We, the Procuratorate, will eat it ourselves. If this bowl of rice is filled with a bunch of people who only know how to earn the emperor's salary but are not loyal to the emperor, then how necessary is the existence of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Yang He felt the strong determination revealed in Qiao Yingjia's heart, and his heart trembled.
He did not believe that Qiao Yingjia was the kind of person who acted recklessly and recklessly. Yes, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was indeed the place where officials were rectified and disciplined, but it was also a pillar that maintained the empire's power structure and kept it relatively stable. This is the political quality necessary for every person who can stand in a high position.
Unless absolutely necessary, a functioning, if not smooth, imperial power structure is a basic requirement.
"Brother Ru Jun, are you really ready to go to war?" Yang He became a little worried.
"Why, Xiu Ling, are you scared?" Qiao Yingjia chuckled.
"Brother Ru Jun is joking. Ever since Yang He became the censor, he has never been afraid of anything." Yang He shook his head, but then said: "What the chief assistant said before seems to be some excuse, but it is also It cannot be denied that his worries are all unfounded..."
The reason why Qiao Yingjia valued Yang He was that he felt that Yang He not only had bloody courage, but also had a view of the overall situation and would not be easily enthusiastic. There was no shortage of those powerful censors in the Imperial Palace, but there was a lack of them. The kind of person who can grasp the right measures at critical moments is precisely the most distressing part of the Metropolitan Procuratorate right now.
Of course, Qiao Yingjia also knows that if the Metropolitan Procuratorate is filled with a bunch of weaklings and old people who are dawdling around, then the Metropolitan Procuratorate will only be in a worse situation, so he would rather maintain the status quo and retain a group of young people who still have some blood and courage. , allowing them to charge into battle, but as the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he should know the bottom line and propriety.
But the bottom line that Shen always set for himself was not the bottom line that Qiao Yingjia wanted.
Shen has always been old, so old that he can't even stand a cold or sneeze.
"Xiu Ling, this is why I came to discuss it with you." Qiao Yingjia nodded, "The Chief Assistant has some views that are acceptable, but from his perspective, it does not mean that our Metropolitan Procuratorate must follow his settings. He thought too much about the stability of himself, the Ministry of Finance and even some places, and felt that if he was not careful, something big would happen. But I think something would not necessarily be a bad thing. Well, for some people As a reminder, if you relax your muscles and bones, many people may be able to restrain themselves."
Yang He also laughed, and he felt a little more at ease.
Qiao Yingjia still accepted some of Shen Yiguan's opinions in his words. Well, he may not agree with them to a certain extent, but that doesn't matter. As long as Qiao Yingjia has a scale in his heart and understands that this kind of thing cannot continue to develop endlessly, that is enough.
As for how far it goes, Yang He believes that Qiao Yingjia has an idea in mind.
"Then Brother Rujun, where to start? Or, well, where to start?" Yang He's eyes were filled with a hint of eagerness to try.
There is no censor who doesn't want to do something in his position, uncover a few major cases, bring down a few big bosses, dig out a bunch of corrupt officials, and then give an explanation to the court and the people, and win the blue sky. The reputation of the great master has always been the eternal pursuit of every censor.
"Xiu Ling, don't you already know it in your mind?" Qiao Yingjia also laughed, looking confident, "If Xiu Ling is not sure, it's okay to ask Brother Yu to give you some advice."
Yang He was determined, stood up and cupped his hands, "I will definitely live up to Brother Rujun's high expectations. I will rush to the two Zhejiang provinces today."
"Sit down, don't be so impatient. This is a serious matter. I'm afraid many people still think that with the emperor's calm attitude and the suppression of the chief minister, everything will pass as painlessly as before. But, what's the routine? It’s just for breaking, it’s better to give them some ‘surprises’.”
At this time, Qiao Yingjia's face already had a bit of coldness and murderous intent, "Some people live so freely that they forget about themselves, but they forget about the soldiers on the border who fought bloody battles without enough food."
Taking a deep breath, Yang He also knew that this was Qiao Yingjia's intention to delegate power to him and let him have a sense of proportion, and this sense of restraint should be relatively large and deep.
"Brother Ru Jun, do you have any explanation?" This point still needs to be asked clearly. Yang He also knows that there must be many things involved behind Qiao Yingjia's ability to reach this position from the censor of patrol.
"Well,..." Qiao Yingjia didn't answer the question for a while. After pondering for a while, he said: "Xiu Ling, you should know the current difficult situation of the court. Last month, the emperor invited me to talk and also talked about the current situation of the mine supervisor and tax supervisor.
Many problems have arisen, but the emperor also admitted that there is no solution..., Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of War of Japan and I also talked about it before. When the prince was vacated as the governor of Xuanda, the lion opened his mouth and the food and grass needed by Shanxi, Datong and Xuanfu Town
There are so many, the gap is huge, and the Ministry of Household Affairs is simply unable to solve it..."
Yang He was taken aback, "Brother Ru Jun, Wang Ziteng is a bit alarmist. The third town of Xuanda has always been a place protected by the imperial court, far better than Jiliao. It is also because the situation in Jiliao has become increasingly tense in the past two years that it has just begun to show some signs of alarm."
Inclined, but look at the three sides and four towns, that is the biggest problem. The Tatars in Hetao cannot continue to languish like in previous years. In my opinion, if the court really wants to give priority to solving it, it must also solve the three problems.
Biansi Town, then Jiliao, and finally Xuanda."
Qiao Yingjia also smiled wryly and raised his forehead, "Logically speaking, these things should not be considered by me and other people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it is difficult for the court to eat the emperor's salary and to be loyal to the emperor. It is even more difficult for the emperor. Zhang Shilang and
When I talked about this, I sighed with regret..."
Yang He carefully tried to figure out the hidden meaning in the other person's words, and if he understood something, the other person didn't clarify it, which made him a little worried about whether he would misunderstand it.
Seeing Yang He's expression, Qiao Yingjia knew that the other party must have vaguely guessed some of the meaning. He was probably still a little unsure. Is this Yang Xiuling a shortcoming? Or was he too loyal and honest? He had to clarify it himself?
However, Qiao Yingjia is not a person who dares to express his position and take responsibility. Since he wants the other party to let go and do something, he must make it clear.
"Xiu Ling, you and I have known each other for many years, and you also know my temperament. Well, this time I inspected the two Zhejiang provinces for the second time to clear the holes. The emperor has long heard about the collusion between the salt affairs of the two Zhejiang provinces and the local evil gentry, and he also
If you intend to investigate and deal with it, you must act with caution. At that time, Long Jinwei will also have arrangements..."
These words immediately made Yang He understand a lot, and he regretted that he should not have hesitated.
Now it seems that the right deputy censor of the capital has already obtained the sword of Shang Fang. Even with or without the guidance of the chief assistant, he may have made up his mind long ago.
It's just that the intervention of the Dragon Guard is a bit intriguing and difficult to handle.
Yang He disliked dealing with this group of people, but he had to admit that they were more capable locally.
Compared with working alone, even if there is some cooperation in some places, it is far less effective than having the support of this group of people. If there is the help of this group of people, then many things will definitely be smoother, faster and more effective.
"Brother Ru Jun, what should we do with this Dragon Guard..."
"Xiu Ling, we act in accordance with the rules of our Metropolitan Procuratorate and do not accept interference from anyone. Long Jinwei is only cooperating with some of our specific actions. At that time, there will be people in the two Zhejiang provinces who will obey our instructions. Well, of course, we will act accordingly.
There is no need to hide anything, Long Jinwei has their own way to deal with it. If there are some things that are difficult for us to deal with, we can consider leaving them to handle it..."
These words were so heart-felt that Yang He was immediately reassured and nodded repeatedly, "Xiu Ling understands that this matter must be controlled by our Metropolitan Procuratorate, and other people are not allowed to interfere. If there is..."
"If anyone tries to influence or intervene, they can be dealt with immediately!" Qiao Yingjia added.
Seeing the other party's glaring eyes, Yang He smiled knowingly and said, "If they really want to die, then we have no choice but to give them a ride."
Both of them laughed heartily.
After the business was finished, Qiao Yingjia asked about the situation of Yang He's son, Yang Sichang.
"When Wen Ruo came back, he also talked about Brother Ru Jun's favorite protégé. He was full of praise for Ziying and said that Ziying would have a great chance in the next year." Naturally, Yang He did not hesitate to praise Feng Ziying with flattering words.
