It is estimated that the total value of the stolen coal exceeds 200,000 taels - enough to provide cooking and heating for the people of the capital for half a month. When the cause of the accident was revealed, Magistrate Wei found Ma Bin again and found out that half a month ago
Ma Bin had already moved all six members of his family away, and at this time Ma Bin was nowhere to be seen.
Now County Magistrate Wei was in trouble. Miyun Iron and Steel now said back that Ma Bin had colluded with the excavation gang to steal and sell royal assets, and that Wei Yunzhong had neglected his duties and was guilty of dereliction of duty. Subsequently, it was said in the official circles of the capital that "the emperor was furious" and that he was about to be dispatched.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate's task force is stationed in Miyun County.
The "emperor's wrath" thing is actually caused by "layers of pressure". The way to upload accident news is this: Shuntian Mansion reports the safety accident to the Ministry of Industry. The report points out that the cause is caused by illegal excavation, and explains the detailed causes and consequences.
This is when the information is most complete.
Then the report passed through the head of the Ministry of Industry - Yuanwailang - Langzhong - Minister - Minister - Zhengshitang - Bachelor, and finally reached Zhang Juzheng's hands.
By this time, the report of hundreds of words had been reduced to one sentence: The Mentougou Coal Mine collapsed due to illegal excavation, and fourteen people were injured. Shuntian Prefecture is investigating.
Zhang Juzheng would sign the government affairs report containing this sentence, indicating that the political affairs hall had handled it according to normal procedures. Then the attendant's office included it in the political affairs abbreviation that the emperor needed to read, and this sentence that could not be deleted was mixed again
Among more than a dozen similar messages.
Finally, Zhu Yijun drew a circle on the entire abbreviation, which was equivalent to completing a large number of circle readings of memorials to be reported to the Political Affairs Hall, also called "reporting and hearing", which meant that the emperor knew about it.
The same information was reported three times in total: the Accounting and Finance Department in charge of the emperor's business had an investigation report reported by Miyun Steel, which was also included in the royal family's huge industrial management information, and was finally seen by Zhu Yijun in abbreviated form.
Then the National Security Bureau of the Jinyiwei system mixed this news with security information from various places and reported it to the Attendant's Office. In the end, there was only one sentence left - almost the same as what was reported by the Political Affairs Hall.
For the emperor, it is simply impossible to require industrial and mining enterprises to ensure safe production without accidents under today's production conditions. Therefore, "reporting the news" is the final outcome of these fourteen lives - and the whole matter will be reported in the imperial court
, in the game process between the market and other different players, it becomes something else that no one knows. Some people will be unlucky because of it, and some people will benefit from it.
The unlucky one is of course Wang Yixiu, who was ostracized by the officialdom, because the Hu Yong case was reviewed by Shuntian Prefecture, and all the matters related to this case were issued by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, requiring officials at all levels to write a defense first - Wang Yixiu said I would write it.
What? The Hu Yong case is just an ordinary theft case. How the hell do I know what Ma Bin did in it?
The Metropolitan Procuratorate does not care whether Wang Yixiu is avenged or not - if the people underneath cannot contain the emperor's anger, it is not impossible to pursue the matter to the Ministry of Works.
A scapegoat fell from the sky. Wang Yixiu was about to burst into tears. After an urgent interview with Wei Yunzhong, he discovered that Wei Zhixian was just like him. He had not yet figured out the details. After scolding him for being stupid, he had to think about saving himself.
Because he had been ostracized for the past two years, he still had some friendship with Hai Rui. But the friendship was completely different. Wang Yixiu couldn't even open his mouth to Hai Rui about this matter.
Besides, after the reform of the imperial government, Hai Rui once insisted on leaving because of his overage, so he was conferred the title of second-class earl of Qingzheng by the emperor, and was retained in the imperial court as a consultant in the name of honor. Now he is patrolling Jiangnan Daitian - this distant water
It can't quench my thirst either.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Yixiu had no choice but to ask for help from his immediate superior, Wang Tingzhan. Wang Tingzhan saw Wang Yixiu's sad face and said with a smile: "Don't panic, my silver medal secretly reported this to the emperor, and we have already taken it out of Shuntian Mansion——
It's just a formality for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to find you."
After hearing this, Wang Yixiu opened his mouth wide and looked at Wang Tingzhan with questions on his forehead. Wang Tingzhan touched his long beard under his chin and said with a smile: "Your Majesty read my silver seal secret memorial, so he gave the instructions on the abbreviation——
It’s not that I was angry, I just wrote two words ‘strict investigation’.”
Wang Yixiu touched his head and said, "Then where did the 'Emperor's Fury' come from?"
Wang Tingzhan had been in the attendant's room for many years, and he knew everything inside. He smiled and said: "If the emperor writes two words, the prime minister should have a few more words. By analogy, the further down the order, the more serious the instructions.
The time limit is getting tighter and tighter, making everyone very nervous, and this is where the 'Emperor is furious' comes from."
"In today's world, there are not only 100 but also 80 similar things happening every day. Every time, the emperor is furious. He..." Having no words to say anymore, Wang Tingzhan stopped talking.
Wang Yixiu breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said: "Then why do you need to expose your own shortcomings? After all, it is our Shuntian Mansion's business? Let us find out first and then report..." That means that it does not count as credit.
It also shows that we are capable, why should we alarm the court and make a fuss all over like this?
This time it was Wang Tingzhan's turn to scratch his head, thinking that what you said, brother, was too unpolitical.
But the two of them usually had the same temperament, and Wang Tingzhan also liked Wang Yixiu's honesty and self-restraint, so he had to say: "After the fifth year of Wanli, the imperial government has tightened its control over the officials every year. But the people in the two major mining areas of Miyun Steel
We can’t just watch the piles of bad debts over the past two years.”
"With the power of Shuntian Mansion, we can't defeat those big heads. We might as well let the emperor notice it and work from top to bottom. Although I didn't say it clearly in this secret message, the emperor will definitely understand what I mean -
The fire must be burning over there."
Seeing Wang Yixiu staring at him with red eyes, Wang Tingzhan was also a little moved by him. He sighed and cupped his hands to the north and said: "Tingzhan has been mentioned by the emperor for many years, and the heart in his voice is as good as the hundreds of kilograms."
They all belong to the emperor - if you want to do something, don't think about protecting yourself wisely, not to mention that our Shuntian Mansion is clean, what can't be exposed?"
After speaking, he opened his hand, pointed to the top and said, "Some big people have been in charge of these transactions for the emperor for more than ten years. Rich people are like..., well, you just need to know."
Wang Yixiu's head exploded, and two big tears flowed out of his eyes involuntarily. He couldn't help but think of his fear of being dominated by Xu Jie, Hai Rui and other big guys in Songjiang Mansion, which was exactly the same as today.
He cupped his hands to Wang Tingzhan and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up the confusion. I will keep this matter strictly a secret. If this matter goes smoothly as Your Majesty said, I will resign in the future. Please allow me!"
When Wang Tingzhan heard this, he had a question mark in his head and said to himself, "Your eyes are red because you were just moved by me. Why are you thinking of resigning?"
He couldn't help but wonder: "The most important thing! You are honest and self-responsible and have the same temperament as me. Why should you be discouraged by the fact that you are being investigated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate - I guarantee you will be fine! Moreover, these years of reforming the official system are the great achievements of our generation."
How can you ask for help when you have such a grand plan?!"
Wang Yixiu bowed his head to the ground and said, "Sir, you said that these big men are in charge of the emperor's business. Does the emperor know what they have done in these years?"
Wang Tingzhan felt as if he wanted to be hit on the forehead, he took a sharp breath and said: "This..., with the emperor's wisdom, although he may not know the details, he must have a rough idea."
Wang Yixiu smiled bitterly and said: "In the past in Songjiang, the emperor used the 'slave reform' to influence the overall situation in Jiangnan. After that, public opinion swept away, and then there was a major reform!"
"If the word 'strict investigation' is really what your Excellency said - then the 'emperor's wrath' that follows must have its origin. This is where the wind started from Qingping's end!"
