Ming politicians

() Qu Qingze's smile quickly turned into a wry smile. He didn't expect that Su Tiancheng was so casual, and such words came out so suddenly. If Dong Chang heard this, he would be surprised if he didn't blow his beard and stare.

"I said Master Su, what you said, I don't even know what to say."

"Come on, don't be an adult, let's be short, this is not in the lobby, if you want, you can call me by my name directly, but don't call me an adult, I sound a little disgusting, or I will call you Lord Qianhu."

Qu Qingze was speechless for a while, and he was bored for a long time before opening his mouth.

"I see, brother, you are amazing."

"By the way, what were you laughing at just now? After talking for a long time, I haven't gotten to the point. I think your smile is wrong, as if I did something wrong."

"Assuming you are smart, there are such benefits in dealing with smart people."

Su Tiancheng blinked his eyes, but he didn't expect that he was really right.

"Two things, the first thing, you were in the Henan Mansion, you killed without sticking to the mud, and you did it beautifully. I feel ashamed of myself. You are the one who can seize the opportunity and make excellent arrangements. But why are you Don't report directly to the emperor. I know your original intention, so that the Zhizhou of Luoyang Prefecture can get benefits, but think about it, who is the leader of the rogues that the court must kill? As for the matter, Zhizhou dares to take credit casually, your handling of this is inappropriate."

Su Tiancheng was greatly surprised. He almost forgot about this incident. The two nursing homes sent out have not returned yet, and the two nursing homes that stayed in Luoyang City to recuperate will definitely take some time before they can come back. of.

"Brother, you can't blame me for talking about this matter. Think about it, I came to Jiangning County to take up the post. The time is urgent, so how could it be delayed? If I go directly from Henan to the capital, I will report to the emperor. No, it is impossible to come to Jiangning County today. Besides, I brought a nursing home, and servants, a large stall of people, to the capital, and then to Jiangning County, I dare not even think about it. What will it be like?"

"Who told them all to go? You can send the nursing home to report directly to the capital. How could the court delay such a thing? Don't be fooled by me. The arrangement is so meticulous. I don't believe you can't think of it. To bury the dead body, to confuse Buyingni's subordinates, and let the soldiers of Luoyang Guard wipe out all the more than 100 soldiers brought by Buyingni, I don't have such a scheming plan."

"Okay, your brother is amazing, don't you know everything now, I don't think there is a big mistake in this matter, the emperor will not blame him."

Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng with a strange smile on his face.

"I really admire you, appreciate the Sacred Heart."

Su Tiancheng's heart skipped a beat.

"Brother, what do you mean by that?"

"Hou Jin invaded, bandits harassed, the emperor was a headache for this, the army wiped out the bandits, and competed for military merits, these things, the emperor knows all these things, you are lucky, you have such a great contribution, you don't want it, and you are going to give it to others Now, think about it, what will the emperor think in his heart when he finds out about this situation?"

In such a situation, Su Tiancheng really didn't think about it, he just wanted to do things well, as for the fame and the like, it's just a fleeting moment, you just blow the credit to the sky, and you can't save Daming from danger , is also useless.

"Brother said so. It seems that this matter is not a big problem. Besides, I have almost forgotten it for so long in the past. I only remembered it when you mentioned it. Are there other things?"

"Of course there is."

Qu Qingze became a little serious.

"Brother, you are not too young. Why don't you worry about the marriage? Are you thinking about waiting until the emperor is your matchmaker?"

"Whether I have a family or not, what's the big deal?"

"Two troubles. First, you came to Nanjing and didn't live in the official post. You went to the Qinhuai River twice, and you just went there. It's nothing special, but you haven't married yet. Go to the Qinhuai River. Well, what does the girl think? Are you asking for trouble? Second, you are the second place in the palace examination, the sixth-rank magistrate of Jiangning County, and you have no marriage or matchmaking. You are so far away from your hometown. It seems that you want to make decisions on your own , if the matchmaker finds you directly, how are you going to deal with it?"

There was something in Qu Qingze's words, although he said it in a joking tone, Su Tiancheng didn't believe that he didn't know about the matter between himself and Zhu Shenxin, what Jin Yiwei did, and what things he didn't know.

"Brother, why not tell me what's the problem?"

"Well, let me just say it straight. If you go to the Qinhuai River, someone must be impeaching you. Don't complain. I know that many officials go to the Qinhuai River. As for the officials who go to Leji, there are countless. If they don't impeach, they will have nothing to do. Wu Weiye, who is a court tester, and editor of the Hanlin Academy, was also impeached this time. It was nothing more than taking a brothel girl to the capital to participate in the imperial examination and imperial examination. Mr. Wen's impeachment of him was out of manner. The emperor also specifically reprimanded you, you have just arrived in Jiangning County, if you have been to Qinhuai River more times, the emperor just wants to protect you, I am afraid that the officials in the court will not let you go."

The relationship between Su Tiancheng and Qu Qingze is extraordinary. The two have many similarities. They can be said to be like-minded. In front of Qu Qingze, Su Tiancheng will not hide his views. On, it represents the emperor.

"There is nothing strange about such things happening. Not only Mr. Wen, I am afraid that Mr. Zhou will also impeach me. I will not do the thing of a bitch erecting an archway. I will go to the Qinhuai River frankly. Yes, when we went to Yingtian Mansion, Lord Wang also asked about it, and when I mentioned the Qinhuai River, there is nothing worth covering up, if you do it, you do it."

"Cheer up, dare to act, but I still suggest you, pay attention, if there is a girl you like, you can just pick it up, taking a concubine is not a big deal, often going to the Qinhuai River, it must be influential .”

Su Tiancheng nodded. This is true. After all, he is an official ordered by the imperial court. He always runs to the brothel. If he speaks out, the influence will definitely be bad. He would rather go to Leji than frequently go to Qinhuai River.

"It's good that you understand. I guess, the memorial is about to arrive in the capital. You are really good. Before you officially take office, there will be an impeachment memorial. I admire you."

"Okay, you have to be quiet. If I am impeached and things are not done well, don't think about being comfortable. At that time, I will also pull you in."

"You don't need to say this. If you can't do it well, I will be worse than you. Okay, I've finished talking about the trivial things, and now I'm going to talk about the real thing."

"Is it about Jiangning County? Including Nanjing City."

"Smart, it's these things. Before I say it, I remind you to be mentally prepared. The magistrate of Gyeonggi County has a hard time. I'm afraid there are many embarrassments."

"Haha, I've thought about it a long time ago. There's nothing wrong with it. With you by my side, what problems can't be solved."

"Don't be so optimistic. Jin Yiwei is not omnipotent. There are some things that the emperor can't do much about. Don't talk about our Jin Yiwei..."

Following what Qu Qingze said, Su Tiancheng frowned.

He is mentally prepared for the complexity of the capital city. When it comes to places where power is concentrated, it is the same everywhere. It depends on the size of the contradiction. Most of the officials of the procuratorate have no power, so the problem of the official team is not too big. The key is the problem of big landlords, gentry and wealthy households. Even the cabinet is inextricably linked.

This is an inevitability of social development. The combination of power and money can only be eased, not severed.

But Su Tiancheng didn't expect that the situation in Nanjing would be so complicated. The bureaucratic team was almost trapped in it. To put it bluntly, it was a trap for money-making transactions.

To give a simple example, the many brothels on the Qinhuai River are supported by officials behind them, otherwise they would not be able to survive.

This situation is very fatal. Su Tiancheng's purpose is first to attack the big landlords and big merchants. Money is needed to do things, and money is also needed to pave the way to change history, which will increase the burden on farmers. What can't be done, can only be done from the big landlords and big merchants.

Now, what he is facing is not just an individual landlord, but a group, and the hardships and dangers in it can be imagined.

Seeing Su Tiancheng's serious face, Qu Qingze smiled instead.

"Brother, I'm scared. What's the matter? There are so many county magistrates in front of us. They have done a good job. Just keep a low profile. At most three years, you can go back to the capital. The grievance is three years. time."

"Brother, I don't think so. If I can't make a career, I won't leave here."

Qu Qingze was surprised, looking at Su Tiancheng, he was also a smart person.

"What do you want to do? Are you ready to fight? Have you forgotten Wei Zhongxian's lesson? Lei Wentong in Pingyang Fucheng is nothing, but the merchants here are extraordinary."

"Brother, are you afraid? Knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, you prefer to go to the mountain. Don't you have the courage?"

"Scared, what am I afraid of, the big deal is that I won't be on the top of my head, but you have to think about it seriously."

"Hehe, if you can't protect yourself well, what other things are you talking about? You have to protect yourself and do things well. This is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. You must plan carefully. In case If it doesn’t work, just build another bridge, I don’t have the courage, I might as well stay in the capital.”
