Chapter 146 The Communist Party
The court was in a turmoil, and the public opinion in the capital was boiling. As soon as the impeachment for gangs and private forces came out, the oil pan continued to boil over and over again, and the oil pan instantly became hot. For a moment, people in the capital were panicked, and no one knew what the matter would be.
Taxation Department Office.
Wang Yongji glanced at the new commander of the Jinyiwei Xing Shangzhi, with a feeling of helpless expression on his face. Since Liu Shouyou was dismissed from office, Xing Shangzhi took over as the commander of the Jinyiwei, this person went to the Taxation Department early every day.
I came early and left late, and I was more attentive than the people in the tax department, for fear of missing something.
Wang Yongji knew Xing Shangzhi's thoughts clearly, knowing that this person was just trying to cause a big incident.
Compared with Liu Shouyou, Xing Shangzhi's status and reputation are not as good as Liu Shouyou. Although he is now in the position of commander of the Jinyiwei, he is very weak. If he is not careful, he will be beaten back to his original form, and even worse than before.
At this time, Xing Shangzhi naturally wanted to consolidate his position. After all, no one would want to go down after the official business.
For Xing Shangzhi, making meritorious service is the best choice for his stable position. Now the emperor is most concerned about the Taxation Department, and the Jinyiwei also assisted the Taxation Department according to the emperor's will. It is best to make meritorious service on this.
Xing Shangzhi has always thought about getting a vote from the Taxation Department, so he is so active.
However, Xing Shangzhi did not expect that the capital city suddenly became chaotic, and no one cared about the tax department. None of the shops and merchants dared to cause trouble, which made Xing Shangzhi very depressed. Why did these people suddenly become honest and disappoint themselves too much?
Xing Shangzhi originally wanted to take this opportunity to make contributions, but Liu Shouyou dared to do things he didn't dare to do!
Wang Yongji's idea is different from Xing Shangzhi. It is best if nothing happens and a plain past. For Wang Yongji, this is the best. The current situation is just right, and he is really afraid that Xing Shangzhi will make trouble.
"Sir, the business certificate processing in Beijing has been completed!" Fang Ming stood with Wang Yongji's sagging hand and said respectfully.
After hearing Fang Ming's words, Wang Yongji breathed a sigh of relief. The days were so worried that it was finally over. He nodded with satisfaction. Wang Yongji smiled and said, "Very good, let's finish Shuntian Mansion in the past few days!"
"Yes, sir!" Fang Ming agreed, then turned around and went out.
Xing Shangzhi on the other side was disappointed. What is this?
Wang Yongji glanced at Xing Shangzhi and felt that he should comfort him. Although there was no trouble in the capital, Wang Yongji understood that this was not his own credit, but the emperor's credit.
Whether it was suppressing the nobles or the affairs in the court this time, it was all important reason why the Taxation Department went so smoothly this time.
After all, the capital is at the foot of the emperor, so the result is not surprising. However, the Taxation Department's mission has not been completed yet, and it has just begun. From now on, when we get outside and leave the capital, that is the most important thing.
At that time, the Taxation Department will definitely need the help of Jinyiwei.
After all, although the Taxation Department has been built everywhere, it has insufficient manpower, and most of the local tyrants have put on airs. When it is really implemented in various places, local tyrants will even boycott it.
The emperor was far away, so at that time he needed the help of Jinyiwei.
"Mr. Xing, although the matter of Shuntian Mansion is over, the Ming Dynasty is so big, and we will rely more on Lord Xing in the future!" Wang Yong said with a smile: "This time, Shuntian Mansion can be completed so smoothly is inseparable from Lord Xing's diligent recognition of things."
"I will report to the emperor to show his merits to Lord Xing!"
Xing Shangzhi's eyes lit up after hearing Wang Yongji's words, and he smiled on his face. He clasped his fists at Wang Yongji and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang. If you use Xing in the future, Lord Wang will just speak."
Xing Shangzhi urgently needed to show off and make contributions, while Wang Yongji needed someone to be blamed for the job. Isn’t the emperor sending Xing Shangzhi to come for this? Of course, Wang Yongji would choose to use Xing Shangzhi well, and the two hit it off immediately.
The Qunfang Pavilion in the capital.
As a relatively famous brothel in the capital, Qunfang Pavilion is very high-end. Most of the place are innocent people, which also attracts scholars to come here. In the private room behind, several people are gathering.
One of the young men was the most conspicuous. He wore a green robe and his upright civil servant, and he looked gentle and elegant.
This person is not someone else, Gu Xiancheng, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, but his reputation is not that high now, and his status among this group of people is not high. Unlike later generations, he was called the Three Gentlemen of Donglin.
The couplet "The sound of wind and rain sounds and readings are heard, and family affairs and state affairs are concerned about everything in the world" won Gu Xiancheng a very high reputation and made many people think that he is a righteous figure.
In fact, the Donglin Party is best at verbal tricks and moral kidnapping, and it is very good at making reputation.
In this small gang, Gu Xiancheng's status is not that high. The leaders are three people, namely the imperial envoy Jiang Dongzhi and Li Zhi, and the other one with high status is Zhao Nanxing, the left assistant censor of the Censorate.
"Now the court is dark, the administration is corrupt, the Ministry of Internal Affairs makes a lot of money, the Taxation Department is rampant, and the nobles are corrupt and corruption are ruining the country. As a disciple of the saint, it is time for us to show our skills. We should support the country and make a living for the people and the Ming Dynasty."
Gu Xiancheng's eyes swept across everyone's faces and said slowly.
Although his status is not high, his speech is often at the point of being very convincing and everyone is willing to listen to him. This time he was the one who spoke first, and what he said also satisfied everyone and nodded.
"This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs disrupted Jiangnan, and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Six Ministers turned a blind eye to the ears and ignored it. It was really a place to eat."
"The court elected virtuous people and appointed talents, cleansed the court, and drove these people out completely. This time we must work together to unite with the aspiring people to completely drive these country's borers out of the court. Only in this way can loyal and righteous officials fill the court."
Everyone nodded, and Zhao Nanxing said at this time: "The court is dark, I am considered to stand up and serve the country."
Zhao Nanxing's words made everyone feel excited, and a sense of pride came naturally, with the momentum of no other than me.
Unlike these people, Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi's purpose is very clear, so climb up. The two looked at each other, and Li Zhi said first: "The court is dark, and we can't wait to cleanse it in one day."
"It is very important to unite with knowledgeable people, and this is not a one-day achievement."
"This time we should specialize in one person, cut off the arm of the treacherous party, and at the same time recommend loyal and righteous people to enter the court, so that we can achieve the goal of cleansing the court."
Jiang Dongzhi nodded and said, "Old Chen Ge of the Cabinet is loyal, upright and upright, always with Qingming. He is also the left censor of the Censorate and the leader of the Qingliu. He has long been dissatisfied with the affairs of the court, but he has no power and has never been able to accomplish anything."
"We can take this opportunity to impeach the second assistant to the cabinet. If we can make him dismiss, then Mr. Chen should be able to go further."
Mr. Chen of the cabinet, of course, is Chen Xu, Jiang Dongzhi's attitude is very obvious
It is not possible for everyone to rush forward. We need the superiors to unite Chen Xu and find a way to push Chen Xu up. In the previous words, Jiang Dongzhi also hinted that Chen Xu is willing to accept everyone.
Zhao Nanxing also spoke at this time: "What Lord Jiang said is that Yu You Ding, the second auxiliary of the cabinet, was in a position of a simple meal, and he secretly held a high position. He formed a clique with Shen Shixing for personal gain. We cannot ignore it. If we can stop Yu You Ding this time, we will definitely boost our momentum."
"We can't just target Yu Youding, but we have to open gaps in the six divisions."
Gu Xiancheng also spoke at this time and said directly: "Although this time the impeachment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is huge, we all know that this is the trick of the treacherous party, but it is just to take the benefits of the Ministry of Internal Affairs into his own hands."
"The lower-ranking officials are in the Ministry of Personnel and have received more information. This time the treacherous party impeached the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but their intention is not to dismiss the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"But it is to take the Office of the Internal Affairs in his own hands. In the past few days, someone will write to the court to include the money obtained from the Office of the Internal Affairs into the treasury." Gu Xiancheng said with a serious face: "The purpose of the treacherous party seizing power and fertilizing himself has been revealed."
"Shen Shixing's status is stable. If we impeach Yu Youding, it is not appropriate to impeach others."
"But Zhang Xueyan, the Minister of Revenue, is as cunning as a fox. This time the matter was planned by him. We must not sit idly by and watch the traitor party riots in the court. This person colluded with the Liaodong General Li Chengliang to falsely report his achievements in order to privately accept huge bribes, which is actually a borer in the court."
Everyone understands what Gu Xiancheng means. This is to mess with Zhang Xueyan!
"Zhang Xueyan and Shen Shi are close friends, and they are important figures of the traitor party. If Zhang Xueyan can be brought down this time, it is tantamount to cutting off the traitor party's arms." As he said this, Gu Xiancheng looked at Jiang Dongzhi: "This matter still requires the efforts of Mr. Chen."
"As for the position of the Minister of Revenue that was vacant, Yang Shiqiao and Yang, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, are loyal, upright and upright, and the subordinates can recommend it to him."
After hearing Gu Xiancheng say this, everyone understood that no wonder Gu Xiancheng knew so much. It turned out that behind him was Yang Shiqiao, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Yang Shiqiao was preparing to seek a position as a minister and wanted to cooperate with Chen Xu. Gu Xiancheng was just a needle and thread!
Jiang Dongzhi smiled and nodded: "Mr. Yang is loyal to the country and is one of the few loyal and righteous people in the court. He can deal with the treacherous party for many years, which shows his talent. Chen Ge Lao's love is famous, and he must be able to have a great conversation with Mr. Yang."
"After I go back, I will report to Mr. Chen, please don't worry, Lord Gu."
Although everyone has their own plans, their basic interests are similar. They lie down in the court and then take the lead. Whether it is to recommend Chen Hou or Yang Shiqiao, the benefits of these people in the future are great enough.
