Chapter 376 Tax Reform (VII)

Seeing the question, Wang Tong looked up at Wei Chao again.Zhu Yijun's complexion changed slightly, and he leaned forward and asked, "How about Zhang Jing or Zhang Cheng?"But it doesn't matter. "

Wang Tong leaned over and played: "Yes. The minister has checked it out. Han Bixian committed suicide and went to Yang Wei's mansion. Zhang Cheng was also in Yang Wei's mansion at the time."

Zhu Yijun, who was on the throne, let out a "haha", and then asked, "Old Shangshu Yang—a person who is so clear-headed, when did he get involved with Zhang Cheng?" It was obvious that the emperor was clenching his teeth, which made his back tighten.

Wang Tong swallowed again, and he whispered: "As far as the minister knows, Yang Shangshu is not familiar with Zhang Cheng. The reason why he went to Zhang Cheng's mansion is because the old Shen Ge visited him before."

There was another haha ​​on the throne: "Strange! It's only 10 taels of hair, and two ministers and a big eunuch are involved. It's wonderful! I don't know what conspiracy they are up to?"

"This minister has not found out."

"Wang Tong, do you dare to have a treacherous heart?" As expected by the Wei Dynasty, the emperor threw the teacup from the throne and hit Wang Tong's feet. With a loud bang, the courtiers changed their colors when they heard it. Wang Tong and Wang Xizhi shuddered with fright.

"I dare not, how dare I? Because there is no evidence, I dare not speak nonsense."

"Say!"

Wang Tong's body trembled again, he wanted to look up at Yuyan, but he held it back, big drops of sweat fell on the gold bricks.He organized the language, and Fang echoed:
"This minister took the liberty to speculate that Mr. Shen Ge may have intended for Mr. Feng Pan at the time, and Zhang Cheng might have intended for Zhang Jing. After some conspiracy, he was rushed by the death of the King of Zhongxing County, and he failed to initiate it. At this time, apart from our Department of Internal Affairs, No one is here to fry this cold rice - this is the conjecture of the minister, and what is the truth needs to be investigated in detail."

When Zhu Yijun heard the words, he snorted again.Falcon-like eyes stared at Wang Tong, as if judging whether there were other calculations behind his speculation.Then he said coldly: "Then you can continue to investigate."

Wang Tong said in a low voice, "The minister follows the order." Wei Chao saw him lying on the ground and waited for a while, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the palace gate is about to be locked."

Zhu Yijun nodded without saying anything else.Wei Chao gently waved his hand at Wang Tong, and Wang Tong said in a low voice, "I retire." Zhu Yijun hummed.

Wang Tong left the Hall of Mental Cultivation and ran all the way out of the palace before the palace gate was locked.He sat in front of the carriage that had been waiting outside the palace gate, looked up at Starry Sky, and let out a sigh of relief.

In the capital of early summer, the night is as cool as water, and Wang Tong's Four Horses luxury cart is brightly lit.As soon as he got into the carriage, the security bureau in the car, Huon Li, had already handed a thick stack of information to him, all of which were for Wang Tong to see in person.

Wang Tong first slumped down in the soft chair, rubbed his face hard, and after a while he got up and picked up a red pen to start marking.

Huan Li tentatively said: "The time for the military gate to face the Holy Spirit today is not short, is it lacking? I have already read these, and there is no urgent matter. Why don't you get up early tomorrow and watch it again."

Wang Tong sighed first, and then said: "Tomorrow has tomorrow's business, and today's business will be done today."

Huon Yue smiled and said, "The military sect is so dedicated, it makes sense that this saint's family will not fail - it is indeed a role model for my generation."

Hearing Huan Qu speak about the Holy Family, Wang Tong's brows were imperceptibly wrinkled.Then he stopped writing, and sighed with a smile that was not a smile: "Holy family, hehe, holy family!"

Two days later, it was Xiaoman in the 14th year of Wanli.In the matter, Jia Sanjin, Minister of Culture and Education, Yang Wei, was confused, and there were many things that had not been implemented, so the emperor issued instructions and handed them over to the court for discussion.

Yang Wei is already seventy years old, and according to the regulations, he can take office normally in June. He was criticized for this, and he was beaten in the face by the emperor in a way that was almost humiliating. Most of the courtiers were inexplicable.There is a sobering guess that Yang Shangshu hated the emperor for something, but no one knows why.

Yang Shangshu, a veteran of the three dynasties, has a high reputation in the court.He was a 32-year-old Jinshi Jidi, and because he hated the strict party back then, he was transferred to Yanmen to guard the Pingxingguan.

Since then, Yang Wei and Ma Fang have repeatedly made military exploits, and they have been promoted very quickly.Later, because of his old age, he returned to his hometown to support his mother many times—three times he returned to his hometown, and three times he was recalled by the imperial court, indicating that he was a top-ranking person.

Zhang Juzheng was responsible for Yang Wei's third recovery. At that time, it was Wang Jiaping's mission to Europe, and Yang Wei took over the minister of the Ministry of Culture and Education.Now disgusted by the emperor, I heard that Yang Shangshu was in tears, and immediately submitted his resignation.

The resignation went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the emperor immediately approved it, because he was allowed to go to the post because of his high age - but almost all the retirement benefits given by Shangshu and above were not mentioned.After receiving the decree, Yang Wei did not dare to cry in front of the angel, fearing that he would be slandered by resentment.

The old gentleman has a high cliff, and from the outsider's point of view, he has almost the same relationship with all the prime ministers and deputy prime ministers of the political affairs hall.Although Pan Sheng was in charge of him, he didn't know why he was to blame; he slammed and asked Zhang Siwei next to the political affairs hall.

Pan Sheng couldn't get the point, he pretended to be idle and went to Shen Shixing's office to inquire, but he saw that Deputy Prime Minister Shen was always wandering in the world - answering the question, talking nonsense for a long time, Pan Sheng still couldn't get the point.

It is said that the first major policy now is that the emperor wants tax reform, but what is the relationship with the Ministry of Culture and Education?Pan Sheng was full of question marks, and he was also a person who dared to act. Although Yang Wei was blamed for leaving Beijing, Pan Sheng still dared to give it away.

When he arrived at the Yang residence, seeing that Yang Shangshu's luggage had been packed and packed, Pan Sheng politely asked him what was wrong with the emperor.When Yang Wei saw the question, his face was pale and he did not answer, and then he said earnestly: "A certain person is not careful, and it is not suitable for communication with the internal officials. It is a blessing to be able to get Chiyi, and Mr. Shui Lian should be careful."

Although he didn't ask for details, Pan Sheng left in fear.The day after Yang Wei left Beijing, Zhang Cheng of the inner government was sent to the Xiaoling Mausoleum - this also verified that what Yang Wei said was true.

After Pan Sheng entered the political affairs hall, for the first time, he became a melon eater because of information asymmetry.This melon was very raw, and he was stunned when he ate it.He was stunned here, but he didn't know that the emperor had been clueless because he had no head and fly in the past few days, and he didn't know how many times he sighed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Pan Sheng's dog meatballs couldn't be brought to the table, and Zhang Siwei could only continue to work as the Prime Minister.Since Zhang Siwei continued to work, Shen Shixing had to keep it—so the Inner and Outer Court soon became calm, and the government did not fluctuate because of Yang Wei's resignation and Zhang Cheng's downfall.

But as a few people who had already stood at the top, Pan Sheng always felt as if he had lost something, and he couldn't let go of it for a long time.

In June of the 14th year of Wanli, Huang Taiji, king of Shunyi, passed away, but the grassland was calm.The elites of Monan Mongolia have already followed the East and West Route Army to attack north, and all their energies are focused on the spoils brought back.A large number of furs have begun to enter the field of circulation, and the astonishing profits have turned the eyes of the Mongolian princes red.

In August of the 14th year of Wanli, Liang Wen and Meng Shangzuo succeeded in disaster relief in Shanxi, and this year's harvest in Shanxi is a foregone conclusion.The emperor was overjoyed when he received the news, he highly praised the ministers in the political affairs hall, and transferred Liang Wenmeng to Beijing to take over the Minister of Culture and Education who had been vacant for two months due to Yang Wei's resignation.

Liang Wenmeng worked hard in Shanxi for two years. In the first year, he went all out for disaster relief, and he was tired. In the second year, he tried his best to restore agricultural production and peeled the skin again. He plans to work hard for another year next year, with three layers of skin. After removing it, it is also worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth and the appreciation of the emperor.

But I didn't expect the good news to come and go straight to the center. I was overjoyed to get the high position of the minister. It can be seen that this work is done back and forth, and it is not done for others. In the final analysis, it is myself who benefits.

　Lao Mo originally planned to take off three layers of skin within a year and push the department's work to a new level.I didn't expect that in just over four months, I would go to a more important position.Although there is no promotion, it is considered a happy move, and now I take up the new position for two working days.A message to dear readers, it is true that work is not done for others.
