The eleventh year of Hongwu, February, night.

Wu Shang is the newly appointed Minister of Personnel.

Although Wu Shang is not from Huaixi, he has always been under Li Shanchang since he entered the officialdom and has many opportunities to deal with Hu Weiyong.

Over time, Wu Shang became Hu Weiyong's right-hand assistant.

This time, the officialdom was in turmoil, so Hu Weiyong took advantage of the vacant minister of the Ministry of Personnel to give Wu Shang, allowing Wu Shang to fill the vacancy.

Wu Shang had just taken the position of Minister of Personnel, and it was not long before he had already started to help Hu Weiyong do things.

The first thing is to choose the right candidate and send it to Liaodong. I was originally planning to get Jack Ma back from Liaodong and then replace it with an obedient noble general.

After all, it is better for obedient nobles and military generals to earn military merits than for Jack Ma, the Liao kingdom, to earn military merits.

But their wishful thinking had just begun to fight, and His Highness the King of Liao had already taken the initiative to remove Jack Ma from the front line.

Not only that, Wang Chuanqi was also removed.

Everyone originally thought that His Highness the King of Liao took the initiative to surrender, but they didn’t expect that this was a wonderful chess of His Highness the King of Liao!

First of all, Wang Chuanqi was removed from office, but was transferred directly to the customs department by His Highness the King of Liao.

This tariff department is also something that has just been established recently, completely independent of the three provinces and six ministries.

Like the Jinyiwei, it belongs directly to His Majesty the Emperor's department.

Everyone has already seen the ability of the Jinyiwei. Half of the civil and military officials in the court have been scattered by the Jinyiwei.

Anyone who is an official, when he hears the word "Embroidered Uniform Guard" will make his calves weak.

Although this tariff department is not clear about what it is for.

I haven't dealt with much, I heard that I just collect taxes on the frontier.

But this is a department that belongs to His Majesty the Emperor. After Wang Chuanqi was transferred to this department, the rest of the people were thinking of impeaching him, which was a bit difficult.

You impeach Wang Zhiqi, aren’t you just telling the emperor that you are not virtuous in employing people!

In addition, Jack Ma, who was originally defending in Liaodong, was also replaced, went to Tianjin Guard, and led the Ming Navy to the commander.

What a good guy, who doesn’t know that the Ming Navy is now invincible?

Since the Battle of Bohai, His Highness of the Liao King defeated the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Navy has become invincible again. He is walking sideways on the ocean!

Jack Ma went to lead the Ming Navy. Needless to say, unless Jack Ma rebelled himself and sank the ship, there would be no handle or loophole that could be exploited.

It's invincible at all.

The only benefit is that Jack Ma's position has been lowered a little.

But at least, the general Ma Yun was still nailed to the front line like a nail.

Even after hearing about this, Wu Shang shouted that His Highness the King of Liao was really amazing.

In such a short time, I thought of a way to deal with it, and I responded so perfectly.

If you want to be another prince, you may not be able to make such an arrangement.

The Huaixi Group on his side was preparing to deal with the two Liao kings, Jack Ma and Wang Chuanqi. Unexpectedly, they were immediately discovered by the Liao king and then resolved it in this way.

But in Wu Shang's opinion, there is not no loss. At least Jack Ma's position has been reduced a lot, and the role of the Ming Navy is definitely not too great!

Wu Shang thought this was the case, but he didn't know that in the near future, the Ming Navy would be a rising superstar.

After all, in the future, whoever can control the ocean can control the world.

But naturally, these civil officials did not have the foresight as Zhu Qi. Zhu Qi also took advantage of this opportunity to let the generals he was familiar with control the navy, and in the future it would be convenient for him to use the navy to do "business" outside.

My Ming Dynasty has always been convinced by virtue. When this big ship and the cannon is opened outside, we have to do business with us. If anyone is not convinced, then we can compare.

Of course, these are all later stories.

At this time, Wu Shang invited many colleagues and officials in his mansion.

These colleagues and officials naturally came to celebrate Wu Shang's successful appointment as Minister of Personnel.

If this goes further, wouldn’t it be the sixth minister?

What's more, the one who follows Prime Minister Hu Weiyong. As long as you follow Hu Weiyong's footsteps, you will definitely be on the rise!

The officials congratulated Wu Shang, and Wu Shang also had a smile on his face.

As for the gifts they sent, Wu Shang naturally would not refuse and accepted them with a smile.

Anyway, it is not a valuable thing. Under such circumstances, it is naturally impossible for these officials to give away valuables blatantly.

If this is discovered, it will cause a person to fall to the ground!

Moreover, after reaching Wu Shang's position, there is no need to rely on other officials to ask for gifts to make money.

There are naturally various businessmen and collectives behind him. They come to him and take the initiative to find him. Even if they move forward, they can still get a lot of money into their accounts.

Only those who are stupid will find someone to collect money at the banquet.

While these officials were chatting here and flattering Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, a large number of people had indeed come outside.

The leader was not someone else, but his former close guard Gao Jin, His Highness, who was the one who was close to him.

Gu Juan

However, Gao Jin has now had a new identity, that is, the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.

Although Gao Jin had become the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, Gao Jin was still loyal to His Highness the King of Liao.

At this moment, he brought these Jinyiwei to carry out a task specially announced by His Highness Liao.

Investigate Wu Shang strictly!

Hu Wenyong sent his people to the Liaodong area as the Chief Executive. As the Minister of Personnel, Wu Shang must have something to do with him!

The officials are not judged by talent, but by interest relations, so there must be problems with the Minister of Personnel.

As long as Wu Shang is strictly investigated, clues will definitely be found.

After all, it is impossible for people who abuse their power to do it only once. There will be a second time when there is a third time, and there will be countless times when there are a third time.

It’s like a person who embezzles and accepts bribes, as long as he collects money once, he will always collect money in the future.

In fact, as Zhu Qi thought, the Jinyiwei focused his attention on Wu Shang's head, and soon discovered various stains from Wu Shang.

Needless to say, the bribery is not very large, and it does not meet the standard of conviction.

But after all the other kinds of cloth, silk and other things were enough to imprison him.

Not to mention that many businessmen have communicated frequently with Wu Shang recently.

Considering that most of the officials that businessmen contacted were not much clean, most of Wu Shang was the same.

If you want to expect any pure friendship between businessmen and officials, it would be better to hope that the man would say "I'll just rub it" is the truth.

It is 99% certain that Wu Shang has a problem, so there is no need to talk nonsense, just bring people over to search.

Nowadays, Jinyiwei went to the officials' homes to search, but there was no need for any search warrants or other messy permits.

Just relying on the waist card of the Jinyiwei, it can be unobstructed.

His Majesty the Emperor wants to search for you, do you still dare to talk about anything?

The guard naturally didn't know the Jinyiwei, but when he saw a lot of people carrying weapons, he came to the door.

The guard quickly ran to the mansion and reported the matter to Mr. Wu Shang.

Wu Shang was drinking and having fun with a group of officials. At this time, he heard the guard say that a group of people came to the door with knives.

That was a frown and a displeasure.

An official next to him flattered him:

"Where did the gang of men come from? He dared to make trouble at our Minister Wu's door."

Naturally, it is impossible for these officials to come alone, and there will be one or two followers accompanying you.

And the martial arts of these minions naturally need no further talk. Although they are not a top-notch master, some little gangsters can beat them.

With so many officials combined, there are 70 or 80 people in the entourage alone.

At this time, we were eating in the next room.

The officials slapped the table without talking nonsense, and immediately went to gather their entourage.

Then he took the servants from Wu Shang's family to the door to see what was going on?

Good guy, let’s see which bastards are not eyebrow today.

A group of officials rushed to the door with their people in great enthusiasm. The leader had just rolled up his sleeves, and then he was stunned.

There were not many people outside, and they were about twenty, but they were all wearing flying fish suits and were equipped with embroidered spring swords on their waists.

If you say that the common people don’t know the Jinyiwei, how could these officials not know these Jinyiwei?

These Jinyiwei went to the government office to arrest people directly in broad daylight!

The arrested officials all looked as if they were ashamed, either shouting for help or begging for mercy. Not many of them could come back alive when they came to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei.
