I am the king of the dead

Chapter 555 You are clean, I am quiet

Chapter 555 You are clean, I am quiet
Jiang Yuan does not resent Jin Lian, on the contrary, he is very grateful to Jin Lian.

The mistake he made because of his addiction to officials, was told by Jin Lian when he was dying, which can be regarded as bringing this matter out in advance.

After Yu Qian learned about it, he immediately found His Majesty and asked His Majesty to punish him severely. Jiang Yuan paid for his past mistakes, put down his burden, and finally moved forward lightly.

Jiang Yuan believes that with his own ability, he can take the position again.

Isn't he just a minister of the Ministry of war?It's not that I haven't sat down.

Jiang Yuan may or may not have known about Zhang Feng's fierce pursuit of Jin Lian's family this time, but under repeated investigations by Lu Zhong, Jiang Yuan did not participate in this matter.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the soft rattan chair and forced himself to calm down.

On the contrary, the more I think about it, the more angry I get, how can I not be angry?
"That Shen Yi, tell him to come to see me right away, I still don't believe it, without him, Butcher Zhang, would it be possible for me to eat pigs with hair?"

"If Shen Yi can't do it, I will take over the job of the household department myself, and save myself arguing with the household department!" Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table and said angrily.

"There is also this Zhang Feng. Immediately order Wenyuan Pavilion to write the edict, and immediately remove him from prison! The three divisions will conduct a joint trial. Today's affairs are over today. I don't want to see Zhang Feng's face in the court tomorrow!"

The left servant of the sixth department, Zhu Qiyu, was dismissed as soon as he said he was dismissed, without asking anyone's opinion. This is not in line with the way he has been in power, but he still wants to act arbitrarily.

革!
Immediately, immediately, I can't wait a day!
As soon as Zhu Qiyu's order to dismiss came out, the well-informed officials in the capital knew clearly that His Majesty was really angry.

His Majesty has always been cautious about the appointment and dismissal of the principals of the six ministries, such as the dispute between Jiang Yuan and Chen Ruyan, and the dispute between Wang Ao, Wang Zhi's successor, and Xiang Wenyuan.

This time he acted so arbitrarily and arbitrarily, someone immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Wang Zhi didn't know what happened, he took Wang Ao to Juxian Pavilion in a hurry, saw that the light of Juxian Pavilion was still on, he hurriedly reported. .

The appointment and dismissal of officials in the capital is entirely up to His Majesty's will. This is the scope of rights that Emperor Taizong Wen often personally confiscated and painted. Wang Zhi is not against this matter, but wants to ask why.

If someone else asked him, as a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, but he didn't know why the sixth-rank Zuo Shilang was dismissed, would he still be a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials?

As soon as Wang Zhi entered the imperial study, he felt the cold wind blowing. The imperial study in Juxian Pavilion was no different from the past. The only reason was that His Majesty, who was sitting on the soft wicker chair, had a frosty face.

Yu Qian had arrived early, and he also sat on the stool without saying a word, his face livid.

Yu Qian was a good old man in Daming, and whoever impeached Yu Qian had never suffered any retaliation or harsh criticism.

Being able to make Yu Qian, a good old man, look so ugly, it can be seen that Master Yu is really angry.

"I see Your Majesty. Is Your Majesty safe? Your Majesty wants to dismiss Zhang Feng. I shouldn't ask too many questions, but this is a big matter, so I'm still here." Wang Zhi greeted first.

Wang Ao hurriedly saluted: "The minister sees Your Majesty, Your Majesty bows to me."

"Pingshen, I'm about to be pissed off, Xing'an, give me a seat." Zhu Qiyu didn't mean to offend Wang Zhi, but sat up straight and told the whole story.

Zhu Qiyu gave Wang Zhi a look at the physical witnesses investigated by Jin Yiwei and said, "Uncle Mu Yang's bones are not cold yet, but Zhang Feng has revealed his true colors."

"I know that Uncle Mu Yang is strict and very angry when he treats his subordinates, but Uncle Mu Yang fully guarantees that Zhang Feng will be the head of the household department. Zhang Feng is so kind and repays revenge, I really despise him."

"Without talent or virtue, how can he occupy the position of Duke Ming of the Six Departments? I can't tolerate him!"

"Yu Shaobao also heard the news just now and came to Juxian Pavilion. After learning about this, he has not spoken much."

Yu Qian nodded to Wang Zhi, then said coldly: "This son is not a minister."

Yu Qian prepared a basket of words, such as the words of the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs that the matter is important, to persuade His Majesty not to go his own way, but Yu Qian didn't say a word, but was persuaded by His Majesty instead.

Wang Zhi stared dumbfounded at the documentary and physical evidence in his hands. Lu Zhong was an extremely sharp knife in His Majesty's hands, and he was a man who had completely defected to His Majesty since His Majesty was King Tan.

Since August 14, 22th orthodox year, when His Majesty supervised the country for the first time, Lu Zhong has never handled unjust, false or wrong cases. Every case has been tried by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Moreover, Lu Zhong seldom used torture. Except for that time in the Prince Ji's Mansion, which was expedient, Lu Zhong had used torture, and the torture equipment of Beizhen Governor was almost rusted.

And it was the first time that Yu Qian could scold others.

"The minister is also disdainful!"

"The minister can't tolerate him!"

"What does he want to do, he!" Wang Zhi shouted angrily with the veins on his forehead twitching, his face flushed.

Wang Zhi seemed even more angry than His Majesty.

Wang Zhi was also getting older, so he chose Wang Ao in the matter of looking for the successor of the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Officials.

Thinking about it in another way, if he chose Wang Ao to treat his family like this after he left, Wang Zhi would crawl out of the soil in anger.

Wang Zhi felt the same way.

Wang Zhi said unsatisfactorily, "Let's leave it at that, it's too cheap for him, you should check it out, check it out carefully, check if there is anything wrong with him."

Wang Ao's face was full of confusion, he really couldn't imagine why Zhang Feng was so stupid, he was about to get the position he was looking for, did he want to give it up to Shen Yi?
Wang Ao asked suspiciously: "Could it be that Zhang Feng didn't know that Jin Shangshu was protecting him? Did Zhang Feng think that Jin Shangshu would protect Shen Yi because of his friendship with his fellow countrymen, and that's why he acted like this?"

Wang Ao raised a possibility that the heart of a villain measures the belly of a gentleman.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Uncle Mu Yang has indeed only talked with me about this matter alone, and my imperial decree has been drawn up, Xing'an."

Xing'an took the mounted yellow silk imperial decree and placed it on the table.

The imperial edicts mounted on yellow silk are extremely important.

Your Majesty, who is frugal, only uses paper for small things, and yellow silk is not given.

Apparently, His Majesty thought that the appointment of Minister of the Household Department was a major event, so he used yellow silk.

However, this drafted imperial decree can no longer be issued.

"I'll burn this imperial decree in a while, if I don't see it, I won't worry about it, I'll treat him and Uncle Mu Yang as blind and fall in love with him!" Zhu Qiyu pointed at the imperial decree, looking at it and getting angry.

Lin Xiu, the internal eunuch, had a painful expression on his face. It would take fifty silver coins to buy this zhang-long yellow silk.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yi has arrived." A small yellow door hurried in and said in a low voice.

"Xuan."

Shen Yi was in his 40s, tall and thin, his cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were extremely high, he was not well-shaped, and there was no gap between his two hands.

He bowed his head and said: "I see your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty, long live your majesty."

Shen Yi was rarely able to enter the imperial study, but he often came to Juxian Pavilion, and he would attend when His Majesty held salt and iron meetings, but it was the first time he could enter the imperial study.

There are a lot of books in this room, the lights are bright, there are pendulum clocks and water clocks, and there are piles of memorabilia and thick memos on the table.

"Excuse me." Zhu Qiyu adjusted his mood and asked curiously, "Are you related to Uncle Mu Yang?"

"Yes." Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the aunt of the minister is the third grandfather of Jin Shangshu, and they are all relatives from three miles and five villages, so it's normal."

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said for a long time, "This can be regarded as the fifth service."

"Yes." Shen Yi said hastily.

Some people are well-informed, and some people are not so well-informed.

Shen Yi's news is not well-informed, what Wang Zhi knew, Shen Yi didn't know, he didn't even know the news that Zhang Feng was about to be dismissed, when he saw Wang Zhi, he thought His Majesty was going to do ideological work with him.

Shen Yi and Jin Lian have been partners for six years, so they know Jin Lian very well.

The main reason why Jin Lian looked down on Shen Yi was that Shen Yi was greedy and loves money, and secondly, there was his relatives from the same township and from Wufu.

It is impossible for Jin Lian to recommend him to be the head of the household department.

Therefore, it was almost certain that Zhang Feng would be the head of the household department, and Jin Lian had already talked to Shen Yi about it.

Shen Yi had long been mentally prepared.

"Jin Shangshu passed away, and the affairs of the household department are a mess, but fortunately, it has been sorted out, and it will not affect His Majesty's use of force against the Tatars."

"Fifty-five thousand Wugang chariots, 50 catties of new-style gunpowder, 40 arrow clusters, and more than 17 long and short soldiers, all entered the arsenal, and the minister just delivered it to the Ministry of War." Shen Yi took out a ledger and handed it to the Xing'an.

This was an errand he was doing before he came to Juxian Pavilion, and he dared to go to Juxian Pavilion to meet him after finishing it.

He is telling His Majesty with the facts that he will not slack off because of the appointment and dismissal of the Minister of the Household Department.

The matter of Xiang Wenyuan is right in front of him, and he, Shen Yi, will not be as confused as Xiang Wenyuan.The servant of the third rank is also a high official of Guangyao's lintel.

Zhu Qiyu took the ledger, read it carefully, checked it carefully, and put down the ledger.

Preparing to go to war with the Tatars is naturally due to the emperor Zhu Qiyu's lenient nature. This preparation is the preparation of the capital's arsenal, not the armament of the army that has already deployed.

The armaments of the army had already been prepared when Marquis Shi Heng of Wuqing set out.

This is why Zhu Qiyu looked down on Zhang Feng.

Marquis Shi Heng of Wuqing set off and asked Zhang Feng to be in charge of the military equipment. He waited and waited, but he couldn't see the food and grass, let alone the military equipment.

For this reason, Jiang Yuan went to Jin Lian's house, but seeing Jin Lian was seriously ill, he could only sigh for his unspoken purpose. After all, Jin Lian was in the officialdom and guessed Jiang Yuan's purpose. Gave it to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi handled these matters properly.

Shen Yi's ability is very strong, but Shen Yi just likes money, he will not let go of a copper coin with his hands.

"Shen Shilang, I heard that your nickname is Siliang, is there such a thing?" Zhu Qiyu said with some embarrassment.

Shen Yi said helplessly: "Yes."

"When I was young, I had a strange illness and couldn't open my eyes. Later, a doctor who was traveling in the rivers and lakes held silver coins in front of my eyes, and I opened my eyes. My parents gave me a nickname, Siliang."

"Because at that time, that silver weighed four taels."

Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table and said: "I know, the Ministry of Households is in charge of the state treasury. If you are short of money, you can borrow it from the internal treasury. I can give you whatever you want, but don't touch the state treasury money."

"Or I can't keep you."

"I understand, I don't dare, it was not easy to live in the capital before, now I live in an official residence, food and clothing are all spent by the imperial court, I have nowhere to spend money." Shen Yi said hastily.

Jin Lian's affair with Jiang Yuan has been lifted. Jin Lian will definitely say the mistake that Shen Yi almost made back then.

His Majesty is clearly aware of his greed for money.

There is no hope for the position of Minister of the Household Department in this life.

Of course, no matter how much he likes money, he dare not touch the money of the state, mainly because his head is more valuable than silver.

Daming has recently fixed his salary, and His Majesty has also built an official residence. This official residence has many disadvantages, but it is not without advantages.

For example, the daily expenses of firewood, rice, oil and salt, especially the expenses of servants, have all been saved.

The money of the Beijing officials is naturally not enough compared to the wealthy businessmen and powerful tycoons, but it is definitely enough.

"Well, do your job well." Zhu Qiyu stood up, walked in front of Shen Yi and said, "Uncle Mu Yang has passed away, and the household department has a lot of work, so work harder."

"I'll save it." Shen Yi bowed his head and said, "I'll take my leave."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the back of Shen Yi leaving, then looked at the account book, looked at Wang Zhi and asked: "Wang Shangshu, do you think this Shen Yi is okay?"

"Shen Yi is virtuous, but he can't be upright and chaste. I think it's useful if you watch it carefully." Wang Zhi thought for a while and said, "Anyway, Zhang Feng must not be used."

"I dare you, if someone who dies for Daming and is loyal to His Majesty will end up like this, how will anyone in the world dare to die for Daming and be loyal to His Majesty in the future?"

Wang Zhi knew his own affairs, he was supported by the Langya Wang family, and now he has completely cut off contact with the Langya Wang family. After his death, the revenge his family members will face will only be more serious than this kind of dirty water. .

Yu Qian nodded in agreement and said: "Your Majesty, seeking glory and being humiliated is a sign of national subjugation. Your Majesty, I think what Wang Shangshu said is reasonable."

"Well, let Shen Yiping transfer Zuo Shilang to take charge of the household affairs temporarily, and I will pay more attention to the household affairs." Zhu Qiyu is also the Minister of the Ming Dynasty's household affairs, so he can still handle the household affairs.

Wang Zhi suddenly thought of a person, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty's Branch Lang Zhong Wang Hu has passed the evaluation for three consecutive years, and his virtues and talents are all good. Can you make up for the lack of the right servant of the household department?"

"The minister means that he first went to the Tongzheng Department to serve as the right Tongzheng of the fourth rank, and worked in the household department."

Zhu Qiyu was very impressed with Wang Hu. When Ji Province was established, Wang Hu was the ambassador of the Du branch, and now he is the doctor of the Du branch.

Zhu Qiyu was full of fear and said: "Just that Wang Hu who quarrels with Lin Xiu, my inner eunuch every day?"

"That man is really noisy. Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the internal money, almost got into a fight with Wang Hu several times."

"That's him." Wang Zhi nodded and said, he thinks that Wang Hu is good in all aspects, he must be talented, virtuous, and serious and reliable in his work. Of course, except for embarrassing His Majesty, he is very good.

Yu Qian's eyes lit up, he had been thinking about whether Huang Qing of the household department would accept it, isn't there a ready-made talent?

Zhu Qiyu was very afraid of Wang Hu, and he was able to annoy Lin Xiu, the eunuch who wrote "The Book of Angry People", to the point of wanting to fight, which shows his ability to quarrel and settle accounts.

"Alright, let's do as Wang Shangshu said." Zhu Qiyu agreed with a headache, and dealt with Zhang Feng first anyway.

As for the troublesome quarrels in the future, it is Lin Xiu who is in charge of the quarrels, not Zhu Qiyu.

"I'm waiting to leave." Wang Zhi took Wang Ao out of Juxian Pavilion, and when he walked out of the martial arts hall, Wang Zhi suddenly stopped and said in a low voice: "Wang Ao, you have worked in the local area for 25 years before entering Beijing. Bar."

Wang Ao immediately stopped and said with lingering fear: "Yes."

Wang Zhi looked at the half-full moon in the sky, and the clouds were covered with layers of silver light by the moonlight, and said in a low voice: "You have made great contributions to suppressing the rebellion in the south under His Majesty, and you won this position by yourself. There is no kindness of recommendation, but the cooperation can be regarded as a tacit understanding."

"As for you, you are clean and free from nepotism. As for me, you are clean and quiet, without any worries."

"Do things well. If one day I leave, don't give Your Majesty such a headache. It's not good-looking, let alone decent."

After Wang Zhi finished speaking, he left without waiting for Wang Ao's answer, leaving Wang Ao alone in a mess in the wind.

Wang Zhi's words can be regarded as completely clearing the line.

What exactly is Zhang Feng doing? !

Wang Ao traveled half of the Ming Dynasty, and was finally transferred from the local area to the capital. His Majesty trusted him very much.

But in the past three years in the capital, if it wasn't for Wang Zhi's help, how could he understand the affairs of the officials?
Recently, Wang Ao is supervising the corruption case in Nanya and the first case in Sichuan. Is that something he, a local official who has just been transferred to the capital, can handle?Isn't it because of Wang Zhi, the old Shangshu's face?
"Wang Shangshu!" Wang Ao stamped his feet and hurriedly chased after him.

Back then, Wang Ao offended Yang Shiqi, and he has been in trouble for 25 years. Now Wang Ao is very clear that the court is chaotic, not clear-cut, and human relationships are also extremely important.

In the middle of the night, Xing'an came to Fusi's prison in Beizhen with the imperial decree in his arms, and saw Zhang Feng who was under arrest.

Lu Zhong's actions were still as fast as the wind, and he said that he would definitely not wait until the next day, and put him in prison immediately.

"This is the imperial edict appointing and dismissing you as the chief minister of the household department. It was written by His Majesty himself, and it has not been sent to Wenyuan Pavilion." Xing'an brought over a brazier.

His Majesty asked him to burn the imperial decree, and he dared not not to burn it, but where to burn it, that is Xing'an's own decision.

Xing'an chose to burn it in front of Zhang Feng.

For no other reason, Zhang Feng angered His Majesty Longyan, of course Xing'an can't make him feel better, just want to see his heart ashamed, just want to see him look like a mourning concubine.

Xing'an is a layman, and Lu Zhong is also a layman, so naturally they came together.

"Your Majesty didn't want you to be the chief minister. It was Jin Shangshu who tried his best to protect you at the end of his life. It's a pity that you ruined it yourself." Xing'an lit the imperial decree, threw it into the brazier, and shook his head repeatedly: "It's a pity gone."

"No!" Zhang Feng's face changed dramatically, he had already figured it out completely.

Zhang Feng wanted to extinguish the brazier, but the fire was extremely strong, so he turned his head to ask Xing'an for help and said loudly: "Da Dang, I want to see Your Majesty, but I just... just missed it."

"Please Da Dang help me spread the word. If Da Dang helps me spread the word, I will be rewarded in the future."

"Oh? Hubao? How much is it?" Xing'an's eyes looked very strange under the flickering fire of the brazier, and his voice was also very strange.

Everyone said that Zhang Feng didn't love money, and he seemed to be very rich. Lu Zhong and Xing'an looked at each other, knowing each other well, Lu Zhong left the cell and left the stage to Xing'an.

Xing'an clearly knew that this Zhang Feng was really not just a mistake.

He didn't know how long he had been brewing to take revenge on Jin Lian's harsh heart, and he didn't dare to do it until the tree fell.

Xing'an looked at Zhang Feng playfully and said: "Now there is no one else, if Zhang Shilang has something to say, our family can pass it on to His Majesty."

Xing'an didn't lie to Zhang Feng, he really knew how to speak, and he wouldn't miss a single word.

 No one thinks that Xing'an is really taking bribes, no, no, ask for a monthly ticket, ┗|`O′|┛哩~~! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
