Four hundred and eighteen chapters insider
The reason is so strange. It was originally a collision between Lord Li and the Nanjing duo, but the governor was hesitating. In a blink of an eye, Ding Yun led a large number of salt dicks to the scene. He was supposed to assist Nanjing and suddenly snatched Lord Li's life and began to challenge Nanjing.
Even Li You felt that Ding Yunzhi was simply inseparable from his enemies.
Zhang Yan, the commander-in-chief sent by the Duke, pondered for a moment and moved the Duke out to Ding Yun, saying, "Jin Million Trafficking Si Salt was arrested by the Jiang Defense Camp, so the guards ordered us to arrest people. If the Duke asks for someone, we can discuss with the Duke. We are just ordered to act and dare not be good at it."
Ding Yunjun was unmoved and said with a righteous spirit: "Just! The court used our Yun Office to be in charge of the salt administration of Lianghuai. If we still need to discuss with the Duke of Wei when investigating si salt, we have to discuss with the Duke of Wei! This official has never heard of the court granting the Duke of Wei's power to the salt administration of Wei!"
Zhang Yan is the confidant of the Duke of Wei. He rarely provoked him in Nanjing, but he was repeatedly scolded by these officials in Yangzhou. His anger became louder and his voice became a little higher. He accused Ding Yun and said, "Does Lord Ding want to shelter people from committing crimes?"
"Where does this official start with the cover? But you are reluctant to hand over the criminals for a long time, so you just want to cover up?"
Zhang Qianshi really didn't know how to deal with it. The eunuch Zhou, the eunuch who was in charge of salt, pointed at Ding Yun's enraged and said, "Is Lord Ding a villain who is treacherous?"
Breach of faith? Li You, who lives behind the scenes for the time being, has no anger at being stolen from the limelight, and has repeatedly savored the meaning of this word.
Ding Yunzhi refused to pay attention to him and said, "What are you talking about in front of the national law?" Then he waved his hand and asked Yan Ding to come forward to get the person.
Li You decided to wait and see if he was in a position to rob people or ask Nanjing to take away Jin Baimian, it would be better to ask Ding Yun to make a move as long as he didn't leave Yangzhou City, there would always be a solution.
Don’t forget that he was appointed by the court and rectified the salt rituals. Even if the gold is in the hands of the Salt Transport Department, he has the right to inquire.
A group of salt dinghy rushed to the stairs. Although the number of soldiers in Nanjing was inferior, they also drew their blades toward each other and gradually approached the two sides, and were about to touch them.
Faced with the upcoming large-scale armed group fight, Lord Li, who was watching the show, was excited. Suddenly, his heart tightened and his heart was filled with drums and music coming from behind, and someone shouted: "Stop it all!"
Li You couldn't help but sigh to the sky. This is the first Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway today? Who is here again? It's so fucking endlessly.
In fact, there is no need to look back, Lord Li can also guess who arrived. Officials who treat stew and squids while traveling have no other semicolons in the city except the governor.
A governor's flag plaque separated the crowd and whispered loudly: "The military gate must not be rude here!"
Outside the moon gate, there were many people wearing war jackets. It seemed that the governor personally led the Bangbaung official army to arrive.
Unfortunately, the garrison officers and salt detachments in the courtyard were filled with the governors and the battalion troops who had arrived first, and they could not squeeze in at all. Only Yang Futai had to enter the courtyard under the escort of the guards.
Li You was speechless. The salt transportation envoy arrived in person and the governor also arrived in person. How unusual is his father-in-law arrested in Nanjing? What interests did it affect so that all the senior officials such as the governor and the salt transportation department would go bare-handedly?
If it were just a si salt dispute, it would not have been like this. Lord Rao Li claimed to be agile and could not see the tricks clearly. He just instinctively felt that there must have been many interactions between Nanjing and the Salt Transport Department and the Governor's Office that he did not know, which would lead to the current situation.
On this occasion, it is similar to "A armor and armor are in your body and can't be polite." Ding Yunzhi and Li You watched Yang Futai and walked into the circle together.
Yang Futai did not care about etiquette and said to Ding Yun: "I'm asking Lord Ding to remove the salt Ding."
Ding Yunzhi seemed to have expected the arrival of the governor, so he glanced at Li You calmly and refused: "My transportation department is different from the troops under the army of Lord Li. It is only under the jurisdiction of our transportation department and is not subject to the dispatch of the governor's yamen. Therefore, the order to ease the Taiwan Pacific will not be accepted."
Yang Futai was in a similar mood to those from Nanjing. He was very angry at Ding Yunzhi's change of mind. If he had not heard that Ding Yunzhi led Yan Ding to the mansion, he would not have appeared here in person.
Li You heard a hint of closeness from Ding Yunzhi's words. Did Ding Yunzhi intend to join forces with him for a while and resist the governor?
Yang Futai snorted coldly and asked, "I am entrusted by the court. Is it true that Lord Ding regards the matter of rectifying the salt law?"
Ding Yunzhi laughed softly and said, "It's not just Futai who is tidying salt rituals. Lord Li is also tidying salt rituals. I wonder what you have to do about this?"
Li You, who had been acting as a bystander for a long time, finally stood in front of the stage again. Ding Yunzhi's statement was not new, but it was invented when he fought with Yang Futai last time.
The greatest use is just to quarrel and demonstrate, using two rituals to block Yang Futai's mouth, which is of little practical significance. Unexpectedly, Lord Ding brought it out here seriously and used it to raise his status.
Li You had already thought about it twice. In any case, Yang Futai is the biggest opposite at present, so he had to accept the olive branch handed over by Ding Yunzhi. Although he did not understand Ding Yunzhi's thoughts, the situation was urgent and would not affect the establishment of a united front.
What's more, he is now extremely disgusted with the capricious Yang Futai's impression, especially when he was suddenly stabbed by Yang Futai just now.
He then said, "Futai is a territorial territory of a province. How can it be done in detail? Why did the country have set up a transportation department? If you interrogate businessmen, you don't have to worry about restoring Taiwan. If there is any major internal information, it will not be too late to report to the restoring Taiwan."
Ye Buyin Buyang said sarcastically: "Listen to the tone of the salt eunuch, it seems that he had captured the Jin salt merchants and informed Futai in advance, so they were self-righteous. The subordinates dared to ask, Futai was moved from Huaian to Yangzhou, just to send Yangzhou salt merchants to other government offices to force them to be imprisoned?
If you protect the place, it is rare, how can you be in a position of a subordinate?”
When Li You is willing to ridicule others, he always makes people feel extremely unpleasant and wishes he will not listen. After a few words, Yang Futai, who claims to be loyal, was secretly annoyed.
Seeing this, Ding Yunzhi knew that Li You had accepted the kindness and let it go. As a result, what he had planned was halfway.
What he thought had several purposes: the first point was to create opportunities to sell favors to Li You: the second point was that in recent months, his prestige among salt merchants has declined to restore his prestige by rescuing Jin Baiwan.
The third point is that Jin Baiwan trafficked si salt, and he also shared the benefits of using the opportunity to cooperate with Li You to erase this stain.
Three months ago, Jin Baiwan paid 500 taels of silver to the court. Ding Yunzhi vaguely smelled something from it, although he didn't know the truth, he felt that there must be a mystery in it.
He believed that with Li You's wisdom and background in the court, he would not ask his father-in-law to throw away the huge sum of money for no reason. He must have had some intentions.
Lord Ding secretly inferred that Li Youba certainly wanted to whiten his father-in-law's black history of trafficking in si salt through such means. It would be best if he could take this ride and easily whiten his stains.
The Duke was just a local emperor in Nanjing. When he arrived at the court, he seemed not as good as Lord Li.
He always said that Li You, who had a lot of favor and a lot of missions, was compared to Yang Guozhong of the Tang Dynasty, or that it was not necessarily a derogatory term, to fight against the popular Yang Guozhong according to some rules. It was really unwise.
In addition to the above three points, Ding Yunzhi also has the last ultimate purpose that is absolutely buried in the deepest part of his heart, which is to kill the governor!
As a low-key Salt Transportation Office who has been in the Yanyun Department for eight years, he knew that he could not continue to sit in this position, both in terms of system and human nature.
In terms of system, officials are tested every three years and served every nine years, which means that unless they are given special rewards and individual cases, the maximum term of office of an official is nine years in a certain position. Of course, people with a little help will not really serve for nine years. Although they will not change their official positions in half a year on average, they will always need two or three years.
Therefore, Ding Yunzhi relied on his mentor's blessing and worked in the position of "Salt Yunzhi" for eight years. Not only could he not continue to work in terms of age, but he was also jealous and had to hand over the shift.
Lord Ding did not really take Li You's suppression of salt merchants and the struggle for power with the Salt Transportation Department. He was considering where to go, but he was used to the gentleness and wealth in Yangzhou City, free and easy, and did not want to leave this place.
It turned out that there was still some helplessness. There was no official position from the third rank or above in Yangzhou City for promotion. However, since the governor moved to Yangzhou, Ding Yunzhi set his sights on the position under Yang Futai's butt.
When the news of Yang Futai's move to Yangzhou was rumored, Ding Yunzhi did not submit a memorial to object. Others thought that he was thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors and was inconvenient to speak. In addition, he was low-key and did not like to show off. In fact, it was not that simple? Lord Ding had no reason to oppose the move of the Fengyang Governor's yamen to Yangzhou City.
Some people may think that Yang Futai is a second-rank official, and Ding Yunzhi is just a third-rank agency chief. There is a lot of difference between this. It is really delusional to be promoted to Governor of Fengyang.
First of all, Ding Yunzhi stayed in one position for eight years and achieved a record of hundreds of thousands of taels of annual income. This is a kind of qualification. According to normal circumstances, he should be promoted once a few years. But if he held him for eight years, he would need to consider promoting again when he was promoted.
There is this custom in the officialdom of the state. Those who have been promoted for two or three years will definitely be promoted one level after another. If they really work until the top year, if they do have achievements, they will be more preferential when the promotion is transferred.
Especially for those who are clear-streamed officials like the Tushizhong, who have a long experience, they can go directly from the sixth rank to the third rank to participate in politics.
Secondly, in the Ming Dynasty, officials such as governors and governors were in the name of dispatch, and were sent by imperial envoys from outside the court, so there must be a head of the department to indicate identity and rank. For example, Yang Futai's head was the right envoy of the second-rank chief inspector.
However, it should be noted that the official positions used by the Censorate as the title of the right chief minister are not only the Right Chief Minister, but also the Third-rank Right Deputy Chief Minister and the Fourth-rank Right Assistant Chief Minister, which can all be used as the title of governor.
In other words, theoretically, there were official positions such as third-rank governors and fourth-rank governors in the Ming Dynasty... The famous Hai Rui was the right assistant chief envoy and Governor Yingtian.
Ding Yun's ambition was to be promoted from the third rank to the third rank right deputy commander and governor of Fengyang.
Speaking of which, when Yang Futai faced Li You and Ding Yunzhi's joint efforts, he wanted great justice and real power, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Lord Yang didn't care about Li You and turned to stare at Ding Yunzhi. He knew very well that these things today could actually be considered as Ding Yunzhi's plan. However, this planner pulled everyone else down, but he took the lead in betraying and took the initiative to join forces with Li You. It was really not authentic than him!
Yang Futai sneered in his heart, who do you think Li You is? Are you so easy to pretend to be a good person in front of Li You?
He made up his mind to talk about the inside story in front of Li You to see how Li You will react. Maybe he can expose the temporary joint front between them.
Yang Futai waved his back and left everyone, and only talked with Ding Yunzhi and Li You. "Mr. Ding's actions made the head office extremely puzzled. Isn't it you who wrote to the Duke of the State and the head office? Didn't the one who caused what happened today? Why did the matter go back on its word at the beginning?"
Ding Yunzeng defended: "Duke Wei sent a letter to me to ask about his friend Jin Baiwan's recent situation. I didn't think much about it. I told Jin Baiwan that Jin Baiwan had found his lost daughter and recognized Lord Li as his son-in-law. Who knew that Duke Wei would arrest people today? As a salt administration official, how could he sit idly by?"
When Li You heard the two of them having their own answers, he suddenly realized. He just now doubted why Yan Jing suddenly came to capture Jin Baiwan, but time was rushed and he didn't think about it in depth. Now it can be basically confirmed that Jin Baiwan might be implicated by him.
Nanjing has a relationship with Jin Baiwan. One provides power protection, and the other is directly responsible for transporting salt. Everyone does their best to get what they need, and it is still very cooperative. Then, if he adds Li You, a figure with a huge background, there will be variables.
The scale of si Yan business is so huge that if the crime is serious, it is impossible for Nanjing to be cautious. Of course, ordinary people cannot do anything to them, but if the court notices it, the consequences will be very unpredictable.
Jin Baiwan suddenly had a son-in-law, and he was a person with a deep background and could reach the sky, which would inevitably lead to some doubts.
If someone is interested in provoking a few words, then Nanjing will guess whether Jin Baiwan will steal the matter to his son-in-law? Will his son-in-law deliberately pass the matter to others, such as some people in the court? Or will Jin Baiwan simply defect to his powerful son-in-law? This is why the salt eunuch said to Jin Baiwan, "I heard that you have climbed another step."
It is these suspicions that led to Nanjing's action. The purpose is very simple, which is to capture Jin Baiwan and the insider's manager, make a verdict from a heavy and quick way, or create some sudden deaths, and cut off all the evidence and chains pointing to Nanjing. Therefore, Nanjing's arrest Jin Baiwan was not to rectify Li You.
Li You thought again, following Yang Futai’s meaning, Nanjing’s suspicion seemed to be triggered by Ding Yunzhi?!
