The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 129 For the people of the world, Ning Lie burned himself ([-]-character chapter)

Mr. Wang lied subconsciously: "Ah, my subordinate recently started a small business and made some money. I just want to change to a bigger house."

Chang Feng sat across from Wang Zongqi and asked, "What small business? Gold business? Take it! Search!"

A group of Chang Feng's men practiced house raiding for three or four months.In front of the boss, it is natural to perform well and show off.

Not long after, they put 100 taels of gold and 500 taels of silver in front of Chang Feng.

Chang Feng took a gold ingot in his hand and looked at it: "This is real pure gold with almost no impurities. It must be from the Laizhou Gold Mine, right?"

"Wang Yuanwei, you are from Jinyiwei. You should know the power of the memory recovery technique."

As soon as Chang Feng finished speaking, Fatty Xu had already made a move.First, he punched Wang Zongqi ten times.

A fist the size of a sandbag hit Wang Zongqi's lower abdomen.Wang Zongqi immediately began to vomit.

Fatty Xu finished.Chang Feng only said two words: "Quick move."

Wang Zongqi knew that he could not bear all kinds of torture.

He begged for mercy: "Master Chang, I have been with you for three or four years. When you were the general banner, I was your strongman. I would like to confess truthfully, and I only ask you to spare my family."

Chang Feng nodded: "Succeed. After all, it's a battle. I won't embarrass your family. Let's do it."

Wang Zongqi recruited them truthfully.

Laizhou is the largest gold producing area in Ming Dynasty.Sun Chengde, the magistrate of Laizhou, colluded with the eunuch who supervised the gold mine, and treated the gold mine as his own vegetable garden, wantonly greedy for gold.

After the incident, the gold mine supervision eunuch was executed.

The strange thing is that Liu Ji, the chief assistant, spoke for Sun Chengde in Beijing.Sun Chengde was not sentenced to beheading.He was only sentenced to a staff of sixty, three thousand miles away, and his family property was confiscated.

Wang Zongqi took eight lieutenants of the Qianhu Institute and two hundred battalion soldiers to Laizhou to search Sun Chengde's property.

A total of 700 taels of gold were found, and 2000 taels of other silver and property were found.

Wang Zongqi is a coward.Unexpectedly, he bet 300 taels of gold.He put 150 taels of them into his pocket.The other 150 taels were divided among the eight captains.

After returning to Beijing, he went to the bank and exchanged 50 taels of gold for 500 taels of silver.Getting ready to buy a house.Unexpectedly, Chang Feng came to the door.

After listening to Wang Zongqi's confession, Chang Feng slapped the table: "No! You have something to hide!"

"I read Sun Chengde's confession when he was interrogated. He claimed that the gold in his family was only 400 taels, not 700 taels. The less 300 taels happened to be yours."

"Could it be that Sun Chengde, an exiled criminal official, helped you cover up and corrupted his stolen money?"

Wang Zongqi replied: "Master Chang has a good opinion. Sun Chengde is indeed helping me to embezzle his stolen money."

Chang Feng was surprised: "What's going on? Tell me!"

Wang Zongqi continued to confess: "Liu Ji, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was also involved in the gold mine corruption case."

"Two years ago, Liu Ji instructed his family to open a Lixing company in Laizhou. Sun Chengde outsourced the work of disposing of the waste ore from the mine to the Liu family's Lixing."

"It is said to be waste ore. In fact, it is high-grade ore with high gold content. The Liu family can extract three to four hundred taels of gold from the ore every year."

"I ransacked the house and found the letters between Liu Ji and Sun Chengde. I know the tricks between them."

"Sun Chengde's younger brother found me. Tell me not to report Liu Shoufu's involvement in the gold mine corruption case."

"In return, when his brother made a confession in Beijing, he would say that the amount of gold in his family was 400 taels."

"The lesser 300 taels. It's my seal silver."

Chang Feng sneered: "Oh, what a trick! The 300 taels of gold are said to belong to the Sun family. In fact, they belong to the imperial court."

"It means that the Sun family took the gold from the imperial court and paid you a hush money to keep Liu Shoufu safe."

"As long as Liu Shoufu is not involved in the case, he can greet the Sanju Department and save Sun Chengde's life."

Fatty Xu said from the side: "I've heard that Daming's gold and silver mines are very tricky. It's true."

"Take the high-quality ore as waste ore and donate it privately. Heh, ore is not gold anyway. Whether it is waste ore or good ore. It's not a matter of the magistrate's mouth touching his mouth."

"Liu Shoufu and Sun Chengde have figured out how to make money."

What Chang Feng said next surprised Fatty Xu.

Chang Feng said: "Wang Yuande. I will take you back to Jinyiwei to record a confession. If the word 'Liu Ji' appears on your confession, your whole family will die!"

"The gold is your private greed. It has nothing to do with anyone. It's as simple as that."

When Chang Feng said this, he obviously wanted to cover up Liu Ji's guilt!
Fatty Xu looked at Chang Feng with astonishment.

Chang Feng helped Liu Ji cover it up because Wynn had a deep talk with him when he was alive.

Huai En told him that Liu Ji was a stand-in for the emperor who was scolded and blamed.This person can't fall yet.

Chang Feng escorted Wang Zongqi back to Jinyiwei Prison and recorded a confession.

Then he ordered Shi Wenyi to enforce the family law, and executed Wang Zongqi and eight school lieutenants.

After finishing the work, Chang Feng went to the palace and reported the whole story to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi was very satisfied with Chang Feng: "Your disposal is right. I will use Liu Ji for another year or two."

Chang Feng said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Recently, I have heard some gossip. It is said that the imperial censor and the Hanlin are colluding in private to impeach Liu Ji. You should pay attention to this matter."

"I know whether Liu Ji is good or bad. But as an emperor, sometimes in order to do good things, he has to use a bad person."

Chang Feng understood: "I understand."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "You are so capable. I have decided to give you a privilege. You are allowed to participate in the Yumen Morning Dynasty as a thousand households of Jinyiwei from now on!"

Chang Feng is in full bloom!

Obtaining the qualification to participate in Yumen Zaochao represents entering the core circle of power of this huge empire.

Among Jinyiwei, only Zhu Ji and the two Xiaoguo uncles are eligible to participate in the imperial court.Even the governors of Nan and Beizhen did not have such an honor.

Chang Feng hurriedly kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Okay. You go down first."

The next day, Fengtianmen went to court early.

The officials passed through the Jinshui Bridge, entered Fengtian Gate, and came to the former Guangting.

Chang Feng walked at the end of the military attache class holding the wat board he had just received from the Ministry of Rites.

A group of officials whispered: "Look, isn't that Chang Qianhu of Jinyiwei? Why did he come to attend the early court? He also brought a wat board."

"It must be the emperor's extraordinary kindness. He is really a big celebrity by the emperor's side now."

All the ministers gathered together.Not long after, Emperor Hongzhi came to Qianguangting, accompanied by Xiao Jing, the new supervisor of ceremonies.

Xiao Jing said loudly: "Discussion!"

The chief assistant Liu Ji was the first to leave the class: "Report to the emperor. I have this performance."

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Oh? Come on."

Liu Ji cleared his throat: "Report to the emperor. The officials are the eyes, ears and mouthpiece of the emperor. They have the duty of supervising officials. They are the sharp sword of the Ming Dynasty to punish rape and eliminate evil."

"However, when the great grandfather founded the country, he decided that the rank of officials was too low. For example, the thirteen supervisors supervised the officials of a whole province. But there were only seven ranks."

"Another example is that six departments are given to Shizhong. Each department is given to Shizhong to supervise officials of a department. But there are only seven grades."

"The rank is totally unworthy of their responsibilities."

"That's why I suggest that the rank of officials should be superseded. The thirteen supervisory censors should be promoted to the sixth rank. The six subjects should be assigned to Shizhong, and the rank should be promoted to the fifth rank."

Chang Feng secretly said in his heart: Liu Ji is really a good trick!He must have heard that the officials are cascading to impeach him.Simply give all the officials benefits and let them super-move their ranks.

This is blocking the mouths of the officials with the official products of the imperial court.

At this time, Wang Shu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the first to stand up and object: "Report to the emperor. It is the ancestral system established by the Taizu to supervise the censor and give the matter the seven grades."

"As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I am in charge of the ranks of officials. I think that the matter of official ranks involves the ancestral system. It should not be changed without authorization."

As soon as Liu Ji pouted his butt, Wang Shu knew what shit he was going to do.

Wang Shu would not allow Liu Ji to give gifts with court officials!He directly moved out of the mountain of "ancestral system" to prevent Liu Ji's intention.

Ma Wensheng came out to echo: "If you want to say that it is important, which official in Ming Dynasty is not important? Speech officials have the responsibility of monitoring and admonishing; local officials have the responsibility of guarding the land and herdsmen; generals have the responsibility of defending their homes and the country."

"If they all say that they have great responsibilities and ask the imperial court to move up their ranks, will the imperial court move or not?"

"Wouldn't it be that the fifth and sixth ranks are flying all over the sky, and the third and fourth ranks will be everywhere?"

Ma Wensheng is Wang Shu's best friend.Naturally, he wanted to go along with Wang Shu and prevent Liu Ji from using court officials for personal gain.

Two other members of the cabinet, Liu Jian and Xu Pu, also opposed Liu Ji's proposal.

Emperor Hongzhi made a final decision: "What Wang Qing said is very reasonable. The rank of official rank is the ancestral system. I respect the ancestors of Heaven and Dharma, how dare I change it without authorization? Let go of the matter of super-moving officials!"

All the ministers shouted: "The emperor is holy!"

Embarrassed, Liu Ji wished he could step into the house.

down toward.All the ministers left Fengtianmen in twos and threes.Liu Ji was like a big eggplant that had been beaten by Shuang and then picked by the widow, listless.

Ma Wensheng walked in front of Chang Feng: "Chang Xiaoyou, five ranks of thousands of households participated in the Yumen Morning Dynasty with wat boards. This is probably the first time that the Ming Dynasty was founded."

"The emperor treats you differently from his ministers."

Chang Feng said respectfully: "The lower official will make a grass title ring to repay the emperor's kindness."

After the dynasty was over, Chang Feng returned to Jinyiwei.

Since he was going to participate in the early court in the morning, he would no longer need to find Sun Luan, the governor of Beizhen, to make appointments.

Fatty Xu was already sitting in his duty room.

Fatty Xu was spitting and flying, and told the two little country uncles about the majesty of his ancestor Xu Da on the grassland back then.

The two little uncles were taken aback by Fatty Xu.From time to time, there was an exclamation of "oh, oh".

Seeing Chang Feng came back, Fatty Xu said to the two little uncles: "Shi Wenyi is leading the wrestlers to practice hunting for silver with dogs at the school ground. Why don't you watch the excitement?"

Zhang Heling clapped his hands: "Okay! I'll go right away!"

The two little uncles left the room.

Fatty Xu asked Chang Feng: "Master Chang, there is something I don't understand. Why are you in such a hurry to have Wang Yuanwei killed. This is obviously to help Liu Ji!"

Chang Feng poured himself a cup of tea: "Yes. I'm helping Liu Ji."

Fatty Xu was puzzled: "You don't expect Liu Ji to be the chief assistant, and you want him to be your backer?"

Chang Feng couldn't help laughing: "I have two backers now. One is in Qianqing Palace and the other is in Kunning Palace. Not much bigger than Liu Ji? Do I need Liu Ji as a backer?"

Fatty Xu asked: "Then why are you covering up a mediocre person?"

Chang Feng said: "Fatty, why did you and I become brothers in the first place? Because we both hate evil and hate our temper."

"However, I am no longer the general banner I was two years ago. Whatever I do, I must consider the overall situation."

"What is the overall situation. What is beneficial to the emperor and the court is the overall situation."

Fatty Xu was confused by Chang Feng's words: "What do you mean, covering up mediocrity is beneficial to the emperor and the court?"

Chang Feng sighed: "Sigh, things in the court are not that simple. In short, I have no selfish motives in protecting Liu Ji."

Fatty Xu rubbed his big head: "Forget it. You are different from before. What you say is cloudy. Fatty, I can't understand it. I won't talk about it in the future."

Metropolitan Procuratorate.

More than 80 colleagues stood in the duty room of the supervisory censor Tang Nai.

Tang Nai is drafting a memorial to impeach Liu Ji.

The supervisory censor scolded people in the papers, and he was always able to do without a word of swearing, but he scolded the other party bloody and demoted them to nothing.

After Tang Nai finished writing, he bowed his hands to his colleagues: "To overthrow mediocrity, only today! Please join hands!"

The censors signed their names on the long papers one after another.

The big boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zuodu Yushi Tu Yu, passed by Tang Nai's valet.Just as if he didn't see more than 80 subordinate censors, he walked away.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty is a bit like the Japanese locust army of later generations. It has a tradition of going down and overcoming the top, and the commander does not command the staff.

These censors who make a living by swearing are so ruthless that they even dare to scold their boss, Zuo Du censor.

Tu Yu didn't want to get involved in this matter, so he simply pretended not to know.

Tang Nai said: "I'll take the papers to the Hanlin Academy and ask the officials of the Imperial Academy to co-sign. Tomorrow, I'll go to Liubu Street and ask the new scholars who stayed in Liubu to watch the government to co-sign."

Everyone said: "Brother Tang, please."

At night, Tang Nai returned to the courtyard house he rented in the south of the city.He held a box in his hand.Inside the box were impeachment papers signed by 150 officials, large and small.

Tang Nai was a poor official.There is not even a servant in the house.Only one wife and one concubine.

His wife and concubine had prepared dinner for him.Two home-cooked dishes and a basket of wheat cakes were served on the table.

Tang Nai was about to move his chopsticks.An unexpected guest came to him.

This uninvited guest is Chang Feng.

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Chang Feng is a thousand households of Jinyiwei. Tang Yushi, please be polite."

Tang Nai cupped his hands: "Oh. It's Chang Qianhu, sorry."

Chang Feng unceremoniously sat down on the chair beside the dining table: "Tang Yushi, ordinary officials are terrified when they see Qianhu from Jinyiwei. Why are you so calm?"

Tang Nai took a bite of the wheat cake: "A person who is terrified has a ghost in his heart. A person who is calm and composed has a clear conscience."

Chang Feng praised him: "Yes. Tang Yushi is indeed a person with a clear conscience. I saw your private file in Jinyiwei in the next afternoon. You have been an official for six years, and you have never done anything illegal."

Tang Nai said: "As an official, obeying the court's laws and regulations should be the minimum bottom line. However, none of the officials in the Ming Dynasty can keep the bottom line."

"Hmph, if the upper beam is not straight, can the lower beam not be crooked?"

Chang Feng asked: "The upper beam mentioned by Tang Yushi refers to Liu Shoufu, right?"

Tang Nai snorted coldly: "Yes. I'm talking about Liu Mianmian. Even in front of the emperor, I dare say that the atmosphere of the officialdom is spoiled by a mediocre person like Liu Mianmian."

Chang Feng said: "That's why I came to see Tang Yushi tonight. Please give me the copy of the joint name."

Tang Nai asked, "Give it to you and forward it to the emperor?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "Leave it to me to burn."

Tang Nai stared at Chang Feng with his big eyes like copper bells: "You are Liu Mianhua's henchman? You shouldn't be. I don't believe that the old inner minister's righteous grandson Gan is a mediocre hawk."

Chang Feng said: "Liu Mianmian is not worthy of letting me be his henchman. I stopped you from submitting the joint paper for the sake of the court."

"puff".Tang Nai laughed out loud, "For the court? I impeach mediocre ministers for the court."

Chang Fengdao: "More than 150 officials jointly submitted a petition, demanding that the emperor punish the crimes committed by the chief minister of the dynasty. Do you know what this is called?"

"This is called coercing people to deceive the emperor! Since it involves deceiving the emperor, we Jin Yiwei can't ignore it."

Tang Nai took a sip of the soup, and said calmly: "Jin Yiwei is really good at putting on hats. A big hat that bullies the emperor is enough to crush a seventh-rank official."

"It's a pity, there are tens of thousands of people! I'm not afraid of being crushed to death by a big hat."

"Chang Qianhu, please go back. I won't hand over the joint paper to you. Tomorrow I will hand it over to the Secretary of General Administration for the emperor."

Chang Feng felt a little pity for Tang Nai, who was an obsessive gossip official: "You will burn yourself if you do this."

Tang Nai said seriously: "For the people of the world, Ning Lie will burn himself on fire!"

Chang Feng walked out of Tang Nai's courtyard.

Wynn told Chang Feng before his death.Daming has such a kind of speaker.They are clean and honest, but they have little ability to do things.

They have the word "morality" on their foreheads all day long, scolding this and that.

Such a clean gossip official can't keep up with a corrupt official who can do things.

But sometimes, their loyalty is admirable.

Tang Nai is obviously the kind of person Wynn said.

Shi Wenyi waited for Chang Feng outside the courtyard.

Seeing Chang Feng coming out, Shi Wenyi asked, "Master Chang, did you get the things?"

Chang Feng spread his hands.

Shi Wenyi said angrily: "That guy doesn't know what's good and what's wrong. I'll go in with a knife and grab it right away."

Chang Feng smiled wryly: "Get rid of the rumor officer's joint papers? Are you afraid of being drowned by their spitting stars?"

Shi Wenyi was indignant: "It's a pity that he didn't have the handle in our Jin Yiwei's hands."

Chang Feng said: "There is no other way. Let's wait and see what happens. You stay here tonight and keep an eye on him."

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is Emperor Hongzhi or Zhu Ji.They didn't even order Chang Feng to ask for the impeachment papers.

In the words of later generations, an excellent employee should give full play to his subjective initiative.

As long as you can share the worries of the emperor, does it matter if there are imperial edicts and orders?
Chang Feng returned home.Liu Xiaoyan and Tangtang were already waiting for him to eat in the dining room.

Chang Feng asked: "Is Zhuang Zhuang asleep?"

Liu Xiaoyan replied: "It's sleepy. This kid is indeed my son. He even hit himself. In the next afternoon, he waved his small fist and babbled. He hit his eye socket with a fist. He made himself cry."

Tangtang said from the side: "I'll figure it out for him. I cried for an entire hour and a half."

Chang Feng laughed out loud: "Heh, Zhuang Zhuang will definitely be a strong general when he grows up."

As long as he returns home and sees his wife, sister, and son, all of Chang Feng's worries will disappear temporarily.

It's the hour of Hai.

Chang Feng was about to put his arms around Liu Xiaoyan and make some troubles.The servants passed on: "Master, Shi Zongqi is asking to see you."

Chang Feng just let Liu Xiaoyan go: "Well, maybe something happened again."

Chang Feng came to Shi Wenyi in the living room.

Shi Wenyi said: "Master Chang, it's terrible. Tang Nai's courtyard is on fire! It's completely burned!"

　实在是惭愧。这书跳订跳的太严重了。有时候2分钟内发五章。Chapter 124小时追订是600，Chapter 5是900。导致这本书上架首日1261高订，1240均订。现在高订到了2300，均订还是1200多。

　　go on like this.The big plan to enter the high-quality goods in two months may be delayed to half a year.

　　The author also told me.Tens of thousands every day will definitely lower the average order.You can try 6000 words a day.

　　I don't want to do that.Writing a book is lazy.It was changed to six thousand, and I am afraid that it will be six thousand every day in the future.Just keep going.

　　No matter how good your hand speed is, Riwan is the basic requirement for a professional writer.

　　In order to increase the average order, for future recommendations, and for the long-term survival of this book.Change the daily five updates of 5000 words per chapter to two daily updates of [-] words per chapter.

　　Readers please forgive me.

　　After all, fat authors write books for dinner.
