Lu Fenghe was barely doing well in Jiangning, but Shen Nanxun was not doing well in Kyoto.
After Guo Weichang received the order to be transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs, he did not show any resistance to the matter. He only made a few requests to the officials at the court meeting.
"Your Majesty has never been in charge of the Household Department. Your Majesty, please be considerate and ask Li Shangshu to handle the accounts of the Household Department for the past three years together with your Majesty, so as not to bother Li Shangshu again in the future."
Guo Weichang's official position was inexplicably demoted, and the officials were very worried that Guo Weichang would directly make trouble at the court meeting. Since he accepted it, the officials would not refuse to make some demands, not to mention they were not excessive demands.
No matter who it is, as long as you are in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Accounts, you are not allowed to check the accounts. Although you are in charge of the Ministry of Accounts, it is no different from the official accountant. How many accountants can make their own decisions? It is not up to the master. What is what is.
Guo Weichang naturally knows this truth, but he still has to check the accounts. At least when the account books are handed over to him, they must be clean and clear, without any confusion.
"But the Ministry of Personnel cannot be left unattended for a day. It is already mid-July, so why not... Mr. Li and I will take care of the next two departments together, and we will clearly hand over the various matters."
The official nodded repeatedly, "That's right, it always needs to be explained clearly, so it will be hard for you two to do so."
Even though the matter was exposed, Guo Dalang stood up and said, "I have something to report."
Guo Dalang is the censor, and this attitude sounds like someone is going to be in trouble again.
But no one would have thought that this unlucky guy was Shen Nanxun. Guo Dalang read a book about Shen Nanxun and said that he was neglecting his duties and should be dismissed and investigated.
"Do you have anything to say, Qing Shen?" asked the official who was sitting on the table.
Shen Nanxun fell to the ground and said, "My lord, I have nothing to say."
"Then I will be dismissed from the post of criminal officer in the Kyoto Prefecture and fined for two years to serve as a warning to others."
Shen Nanxun still fell to the ground, "I accept my punishment."
Shen Nanxun's attitude was so good that the officials suddenly felt that just punishing him was not enough, so they scolded him again.
Shen Nanxun still lowered his eyebrows and accepted it one by one.
Seeing this, the officials suddenly felt that there was no fun anymore. The fun of punishing people was listening to people beg for mercy and argue, and they wanted to fight but were unable to struggle. This didn't mean that the fun was gone.
The officials dropped their voices without interest and ordered to withdraw from the court.
The court meeting dispersed, and other officials were talking in low voices in small groups. Only Shen Nanxun was walking alone in the middle, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
People who would never go to the Yamen in the first place, now that they have been dismissed from their posts, will no longer go to the Yamen. After leaving the palace gate, they will get on the carriage and go back to the Prince's Mansion.
That night, Shen Nanxun dressed up and rode out of the city, heading northwest
In fact, it is not that Shen Nanxun did nothing in appointing a criminal official in Kyoto Prefecture. At least, Shen Nanxun also did something in the case of Prince Xiang.
The three long-term followers of Prince Xiang who were involved in the case were imprisoned by Shen Nanxun before they were sent to Piling, and he told his own people to watch them. If no evidence was found to prove their innocence, they could not be released, so The three of them were detained for more than half a month.
Shen Nanxun returned to Kyoto. On the surface, he seemed to be eating and drinking everywhere. In fact, he spent the nights when he was not back in the city visiting the countryside. He actually found some evidence that Prince Xiang's entourage drove good girls to death.
Shen Nanxun did not report this evidence, but it was just that Chang Sui forced the daughter of a good family to death. At worst, if Chang Sui was pushed out, the case would be closed.
At best, Prince Xiang's Mansion has a reputation for being lax in running the family, which is harmless.
Shen Nanxun left the city overnight, and Prince Xiang instructed the people around him to masturbate. The final message about forcing the person to death was also spread during the night, and some people even obtained evidence of the crime of forcing the person to death.
King Xiang heard the rumors early in the morning and angrily went to the Dingxi County Prince's Mansion and asked Shen Nanxun to come out and explain why there were yamen files outside when there was nothing wrong.
Shen Nanxun left overnight, so naturally he could not answer the question to Prince Xiang. The one who came out to deal with it was the county prince Shen Li.
"Hey, we are a distinguished guest. Come in quickly." Shen Li arrived at the door in person.
"I have met the county prince. I came to see the prince, the prince, and I wonder if I can ask the prince to come out." Prince Xiang called the prince, but there was no respect at all in his words.
"I wonder what Prince Xiang has to do with my unfilial son."
"Nowadays, there are rumors... Hey, you can see for yourself." Prince Xiang handed over two files that looked the same.
Shen Li took it and took a look. It was really two files, but the two files in front of him were copied. What was written on them was the process and testimonies of the three long-term followers of Prince Xiang who forced people to death.
"Hey, what's going on? Why doesn't Prince Xiang ask these three people how to make false evidence and what they are doing to find Quanzi?"
"Isn't Shen Nanxun in charge of this case? How come the files are all over the streets?" King Xiang asked.
Shen Li was shocked, "Why is Quanzi still in charge? Yesterday Quanzi was dismissed and fined. Besides, doesn't King Xiang know why Quanzi was dismissed?"
"If he could write a dossier with such a complete chain of evidence, he wouldn't be dismissed from his post and fined with a salary. He came back and left again and again yesterday. Don't talk about you now, even I can't find anyone."
Shen Li thought for a while and then said: "If King Xiang finds Quan Zi, he will send someone to tell me, hey, there is no one available in our house."
King Xiang angrily came to ask for help, but he was not found. He was also entrusted with the task of finding someone, and he was even more angry when he left.
Prince Xiang was obviously angry when he made such a fuss in front of the Prince of Dingxi County. The file did only say that Chang Sui forced a good daughter to death, but the common people would use the greatest malice to speculate on the upper class. Without the master's signal, Chang Sui also There can't be that list.
As a result, the rumors became more and more intense. Prince Xiang did not dare to go out for several days. He would be hit with a slingshot and hit by a rotten egg at random.
King Xiang indeed sent people to various military camps to find Shen Nanxun, and the results can be imagined.
In the past few days when Shen Nanxun did not show up, Mr. Guo could be said to be in Cao Ying and his heart was with the Han Dynasty. On the surface, he took the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to check the accounts. In fact, he did not hesitate to arrange official positions for the four members of the Lu family.
After the official positions of the four members of the Lu family were arranged, Mr. Li only found out later. But it was not August yet. Mr. Guo did have the authority to preside over the work of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Moreover, he saw that they were not important positions. .
The Lu family was preparing to take office, and Shen Nanxun also arrived in the northwest.
The officials dismissed him from his position as a criminal officer in Kyoto, but he was still a general. Of course, the general would go to the military camp to lead the troops.
Naturally, King Xiang also received the news that Shen Nanxun had arrived in the northwest, and was gearing up to read Shen Nanxun's book in the morning. It was a serious crime for a general to leave the capital privately or return to the capital privately.
