Jinyi champion

Capital.

Yang Shen and Xu Jie are on their way back, and Yang Tinghe has recently stepped up his plans after he retires.

But on Zhu Si's side, it seemed that he was still respectful to Yang Tinghe, and the court specifically inquired about Yang Tinghe's promotion of officials by way of example.

Yang Tinghe is a first-rank official, and by September of that year, he will take the exam for 12 years. The so-called number of years is meaningless to Yang Tinghe. , No one has more power than him, the civil service system can call the wind and rain, and even the ministers and guards from all over the country have many former students of his disciples, this is exactly what Zhu Si fears.

Another day at the end of the court meeting.

Sun Jiao caught up with him a few steps, as if casually mentioning to Yang Tinghe: "Your Majesty talked to someone from the Ministry of Rites earlier, saying that he wants to give you a tutor."

Yang Tinghe didn't think it was such a glorious thing.

Because the official appointment and dismissal has not yet been issued, Yang Tinghe can't resign, but he doesn't care about these false names now.

Liu Chun next to him said with a smile, "It's really a great honor for my courtiers of the Ming Dynasty."

Mao Ji and Fei Hong looked at Liu Chun at the same time, with weird eyes.

The owner didn't say anything, what's your glory?
Talking about this kind of nonsense here is to find a sense of presence, right?

Jiang Mian suddenly asked: "Where is Tang Bohu recently?"

Sun Jiao looked behind him and found no one, so he was sure that the question was directed at him.

Tang Yin reported Jin Yiwei's illegal behavior in the court hall, and disappeared after leaving the palace. Jiang Mian asked Sun Jiao's purpose, probably wanting to know whether Sun Jiao was familiar with Tang Yin or not.

"Didn't you go to Xishan? Is it for the construction of trains and railways? Maybe he was sent out of Beijing temporarily by His Majesty..."

Sun Jiao laughed as if laughing at himself, and casually told the news he knew.

Jiang Mian asked in surprise: "Has the construction of trains and railways not been stopped yet?"

Sun Jiaodao: "The Ministry of Household Affairs has recently received news that the imperial court has transferred 1000 million catties of iron from Yongping Mansion, and there will be a large amount of iron transferred there in the future. Doesn't it mean that there is still a batch on the way?"

This remark seemed to remind several cabinet ministers.

You think those millions of catties of iron are very important, but to the new emperor, they are just a drop in the bucket.

Jiang Mian continued to ask: "Then how much iron was escorted from Yongping Mansion to the capital this time?"

Sun Jiao thought for a while and replied, "It must be several million catties."

Just "lost" several million catties of iron, and then how many millions of catties were produced by the mine?Or is this batch simply lost before?
Liu Chun hurriedly interjected: "Can Yongping Mansion produce so much iron? Or is there a secret iron ore mine near His Majesty?"

Yang Tinghe kept silent with a dark face.

He felt the deep malice from Emperor Jiajing.

For only a few million catties of pig iron, he had a quarrel with the little emperor, but now it seems that this amount of iron is nothing to the emperor, which makes him more troublesome.

Jiang Mian asked: "How much iron can the Yongping Iron Mine produce in a year?"

Sun Jiao shook his head with a smile, expressing that he was not clear.

Mao Ji answered on behalf of Sun Jiao: "At least tens of millions of catties?"

Sun Jiao said with a smile: "I am afraid that this matter can only be known by asking the people who opened the mine. I am afraid that ordinary managers will not know the inside story. At the beginning, who would have thought that the scale of this iron mine would be so large? I have other things, so I will leave. .”

……

……

Sun Jiao came over, mainly to tell Yang Tinghe that he was going to be named Taifu soon.

This news actually tells Yang Tinghe that if you want to become an official, you have to be prepared, the emperor's kindness to you has reached the extreme, and it's time for you to retire bravely.

If you don't know the situation and insist on procrastinating, then what the emperor will give you in the future will not be promotions and various rewards, but will continue to take back what is bestowed on you, and even make you a victim of sin. body.

Of course Yang Tinghe understood this.

On the contrary, the people around him did not have a deep understanding of this. Some people even felt that the emperor not only did not have any suspicions against Yang Tinghe, but also treated him with courtesy, so that he would not have to worry about Yang Tinghe's downfall.

Back in the cabinet, Yang Tinghe immediately called Mao Ji to his side, whispered a few words, and then Mao Ji left first.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Mian hurried over and asked, "What is this for?"

Yang Tinghe said: "Before I leave, the last thing I can do is to let the iron produced by the mine in Yongping Mansion be used for the military equipment of the Ming Dynasty instead of being squandered."

Jiang Mian nodded.

He probably understood that Yang Tinghe wanted to completely stop the emperor from building trains and railways before he retired.

……

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Si received a letter from Tang Yin.

Zhang Zuo smiled beside him and said, "Now the railway has been built for twenty or thirty miles, and I believe it will be connected to the capital soon. As for the train, it has been assembled. I heard that it is very tall and mighty. When driving, people sit in the carriage." , very stable, and it is foreseeable that Daming can build more railways in the future, crossing states and provinces.”

Zhu Si looked at the ready-made drawings and Tang Yin's letter with a smile on his face.

Just at this time, Huang Jin hurriedly reported that Mao Ji had gone to the Ministry of Industry and sought pressure from Minister Zhao Huang of the Ministry of Industry.

"What is this for?"

Zhu Si frowned, "A cabinet veteran, what does the Ministry of Industry have to do with him?"

Zhang Zuo said: "Could it be that he wants to sabotage His Majesty's plan to build trains and railways? I heard that there have been private discussions recently to prevent His Majesty from doing so."

Zhu Si curled his lips: "It's too late to stop it. What should be built has been built long ago, and I used my own silver. Did the iron mined by someone else cost a penny from the court? Mr. Tang went to Xishan, It’s just to relax, and to test the results by the way, do you really think he’s going to supervise it?”

When Tang Yin came to Xishan, he was not in charge of the start of construction, but to inspect the work after the railway was half built.

Tang Yin was not in the capital before, but now he is back, Zhu Hao also advocated that Tang Yin should supervise the construction of trains and railways, so Zhu Si also sent Tang Yin there.

But from an outsider's point of view, Tang Yin's sudden trip to Xishan is likely to start construction.

Zhu Si asked: "Oh, by the way, is the report of the previous construction period still available? Do you remember how long it will take to get to the capital?"

Zhang Zuo thought for a while and replied: "In Mr. Zhu's estimation, if everything does not go wrong, the manpower and material resources will be recruited in time. It is estimated that before the end of the year, the train from Xishan to the capital will be opened to transport coal, and the next year will be able to build a train from Xishan to Juyongguan. , and the railway from the capital to Yongping.”

"Okay, let's work harder. When the surname Yang gets out of the court, the construction period will be accelerated. At that time, I will allocate money and food from the Ministry of Households to help!"

Zhu Si was firm.

Zhang Zuo supported it with his mouth, but he was beating drums in his heart.

This little emperor is obviously very keen on strange tricks and obscene things, probably because of Zhu Hao's poison.

Normal people, no one would think that building trains and railways should be the first priority of the new emperor after he ascended the throne. If you want to build a section for your own enjoyment without the court's expenditure, that's okay.

But now, facing the verbal criticism of the court officials, especially Yang Tinghe, a scholar of the first auxiliary university who has power over the government and the public, it is a bit unreasonable.

It is even more nonsense to say that in the future, they want to use all the manpower and material resources of the court to build it.

But now that the emperor is so enthusiastic, it seems that building trains and repairing railways has become an important part of his life value, so how can he persuade him?
I want to persuade Zhu Si to stop this matter, probably only Zhu Hao can do it, but it seems that Zhu Hao is the instigator, right?

Young people do things... it's really hard to figure out.

……

……

Yongping Mansion, the government government office.

A case is being tried at this time.

As the local magistrate, Zhu Hao does not need to personally try the case. The case will be presided over by Mou Dazhi, the governor of the prefecture, and Mi Jingde, the prefect's aide, will hear the case on behalf of the prefect.

But in fact, Mou Dazhi is very clear that the presiding judge of this case is actually this "Mr. Mi", but in some routine matters, he, a person with official status, will come out to go through the motions, and the rest of the main questioning is still to be heard. Mr. Mi's.

The criminal, the Patriarch of the Yue Family, Yue Ting'an, was escorted to the court with his unkempt hair and shackles in prison uniform and shackles.

At the same time, there were six representatives from the major families of the Taiping Mansion specially invited by Lou Suzhen according to Zhu Hao's instructions, including Mrs. Qiao.

These six people can only stand behind the yamen, which is equivalent to supervising the trial of the government yamen. This not only shows that the government attaches great importance to the local family, but also allows them to see if there is any irregularity in the trial. place.

"Snapped!"

Mou Dazhi patted the gavel and asked, "Who is in the hall? Why don't you kneel?"

Yue Ting'an said: "I have a reputation for raising people. I have served as the magistrate of Pingxiang County and the local Confucianism Department. I have also raised money and food for the imperial court. I donated bricks and wood during the reconstruction of Shanhaiwei. The deeds are clearly listed in the yellow book of the county. Don't kneel when you meet an official, and don't kneel when you encounter trouble!"

"Hey! You are now a criminal..."

Mou Dazhi suddenly became angry.

You are juren, and I am also juren. Now it is juren to judge juren. What can you do to me?

Mou Dazhi was about to show off his might, but Lou Suzhen stopped him.

Lou Suzhen smiled and said, "Officer Mou Tui, let's talk about the case, but there are still people watching."

In Daming, once one has fame and fame, the treatment is very different. Scholars don’t kneel when they meet magistrates, but when they come to juren, they don’t have to kneel when they see any ministers. No need to kneel down.

Mou Dazhi sorted out his thoughts before saying: "Criminal, you cooperated with the traitors to disturb the peace of the local mine, brought people to make trouble, and caused death and injury. Can you admit to this crime?"

"deny!"

Yue Ting'an replied very simply, "If you want to impose a crime, there is nothing wrong with it? I walk upright and sit upright. These things have nothing to do with me."

Since you don't have to kneel down to see you, and you can't torture me, why should I confess?

Besides, Jin Yiwei has the backing behind me, you are being rude to me now, don't turn around and Jin Yiwei will skin you and cramp you!
"It seems that there is no need for punishment, you are not willing to..."

Mou Dazhi spoke halfway, but was stopped again by Lou Suzhen.

Lou Suzhen probably noticed it.

This Mou Dazhi may be used to being arrogant and domineering at ordinary times, so he didn't find the rhythm of the trial for a while.

Do you think this Yue Ting'an is just an ordinary commoner?

Lou Suzhen said: "Since he refuses to recruit, then show evidence to make him speechless. Officer Mou Tui, don't we have all the witnesses and material evidence?"

Mou Dazhi was taken aback, and then said, "Yes, the Venerable Master gave physical evidence!"

The third is here!Tomorrow is the last day of February. The fourth watch of the Son of Heaven is asking for votes. Chapter 1 will be updated at midnight. Please vote for it!
