The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei
Chapter 220 Wang Shouren!Wang Shouren!
Chapter 220 Wang Shouren!Wang Shouren! (Swastika)
Hongzhi's 12-year gold list ranked No. [-] and No. [-] was Wang Shouren.
There are only three people in the first class of the palace examination, and the sixth in the second class, that is, the ninth in the country.
This is a pretty impressive ranking in the palace examination.
According to the normal situation, as long as the sixth in the second class is not sorry for the audience, he can enter the Imperial Academy and become a "cabinet reserve cadre" - Shu Jishi.
But Wang Shouren encountered a problem.
The head of the Hanlin Academy is his father, Wang Hua.
If Lao Tzu is his son's immediate boss, there must be criticisms.The royal family has been a scholarly family for generations and attaches great importance to reputation.
Emperor Hongzhi was very considerate of Wang Hua and his son.So Wang Shouren was ordered to watch the Ministry of Political Affairs.
The 28-year-old Wang Shouren started his legendary official career.
After the Qionglin banquet, the Wang family would naturally throw a large banquet to celebrate Wang Shouren's entry into office.
In fact, his father, Wang Hua, had a little regret in his heart: Well, it's fine if I'm not the head of the Imperial Academy, and my son can become a good scholar.
This is good, I got a Jinshi who is neither salty nor indifferent, and he is still an observer of politics from the Ministry of Industry.In the future, there will be at most six ministers, and it is impossible to enter the cabinet.
Wang Shouren didn't think so.He hated going to the Hanlin Academy to be a sour scholar who dealt with words all day long.
In his opinion, being able to go to the Ministry of Industry to study practical work and actually serve the common people is much better than being an imperial official.
Most of the scholars who have been in poverty for ten years, are obsessed with imperial examinations, because they want to get promoted and make money, and their fame and fortune will roll in.
Wang Shouren belongs to that very small group of people.The imperial examination is for the ideal in my heart: to apply what I have learned to benefit the people of Li.
Let's talk about a big banquet in the scholar's mansion.
Laozi is the number one scholar, and his son is the sixth in the top two.This is enough to be a good talk in Shilin.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, two cabinet members who had worked with Wang Hua in the Imperial Academy, came to congratulate them in person.
All the cabinet members came, and naturally a large group of civil servants also came.
Before the banquet, an unexpected guest came to the scholar's mansion. Jin Yiwei Chang Butcher.
The originally lively hall suddenly fell silent.
The eyes of all the civil servants were all focused on Chang Feng.
From the early morning of that day, Chang Feng reprimanded Zhang Hongzhi severely. On the second day, Zhang Hongzhi's brother died in imperial prison.The civil servants regarded Chang Feng as an enemy.
They both hate and fear Chang Feng.
Civil officials even privately referred to Chang Fengmi as "Wantong No. [-]".
Chang Feng didn't care about the eyes of others.He went straight to his friend Wang Shouren.There are several people behind him.Carried a small box.
Wang Shouren cupped his hands: "Brother Chang."
Chang Feng joked: "Brother Shouren. It's a pity that no one will accompany me to the Gongyuan in Chunwei three years later."
"I'm not sure if I fail in the test. It will be my literary friend Wang Shouren who will write the questions for the test."
A group of civil servants whispered: "Does the young master of Wang Xueshi's family have friendship with Chang Tu of Jin Yiwei?"
"Oh, I only knew that Prince Wang had his father as his backer. I didn't expect that he also had a backer in Jinyiwei."
Chang Feng pointed to the box at the back: "Brother Shouren's title on the gold list. I don't have anything to give, so I just prepared something."
Zhang Cai, Chang Feng's attendant and Deputy Qianhu, opened the box.Inside the box were six gleaming silver pot helmets.
Wang Shouren was surprised: "Brother Chang, this is?"
Chang Feng replied: "At the end of autumn in the 22nd year of Chenghua, we became friends because of six pot helmets."
"You happen to be the sixth in the second class in this subject. I'll let someone hit these six silver pot helmets to congratulate you."
The six silver pot helmets seem to weigh 50 taels each.About 300 taels of silver.
Wang Shouren said with a smile: "If I accept your gift, I will owe you another six pot helmets."
Chang Feng held Wang Shouren's hand, and said sincerely, "May you step into the officialdom and be a competent, famous, and virtuous official like Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng, and Wang Yue who are loyal to the country and love the people."
Then Chang Feng clung to Wang Shouren's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't be a dog official who talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and is full of male robbers and female prostitutes."
Wang Shouren said sternly: "To establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations. Shouren's wish is also the same in this life."
This is a heavy commitment.
Wang Shouren will use his life to fulfill this promise.
Jinyi Butcher is an atmosphere destroyer.With him here, the atmosphere of the banquet was very depressing.
After the banquet, Wang Shouren and Chang Feng came to the back garden of the scholar's mansion to talk at night.
Wang Shouren said: "Brother Chang, I plan to deliver a memorial to the emperor."
Chang Feng asked: "Oh? About river governance?"
Wang Shouren was in the Ministry of Industry to observe politics, learning to run water affairs.
Wang Shouren shook his head: "It's about military affairs, how to stabilize the northwest."
Chang Feng smiled wryly: "My brother Wang, stop looking for trouble soon!"
"Ten years ago, when you were just a juren, you stole your father's official uniform and dropped a memorial at the east middle gate of the palace."
"That memorial book made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty laugh out loud. Fortunately, the emperor was lenient and did not pursue it. He also urged you to study hard."
In the second year of Hongzhi, Wang Shouren once surpassed the ceremony.
The contents of the excerpts are also related to military affairs.
He suggested that Emperor Hongzhi educate the poor people with Confucianism.If all the poor people practice self-restraint and reverence, there will be no civil uprisings.
He also suggested that Emperor Hongzhi send Confucian scholars to Beilu to teach them benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.If the northern captives are enlightened by saints, they will put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas immediately
Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Brother Chang, I am no longer the person I was ten years ago. Don't worry, I won't be sour and naive again."
Chang Feng said: "You just entered the official career, and you still don't understand the dangers of the court."
"There are a group of bastards in the imperial court who take pleasure in finding fault with others and participating in impeachment."
"You are an observer of the Ministry of Industry. It is a taboo to play against the Ministry of War through the Ministry of Industry."
"Whether your playbook is reasonable or not, those bastards will pick bones from eggs."
Wang Shouren smiled without saying a word.He's a man who stands his ground.As long as he wants to do, he will definitely do it.
Three days later, Yumen came to court early.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Masters, a Jinshi of Xinke Guanzheng gave me a memorial."
Scholars who observe politics are not eligible to participate in Yumen Early Dynasty.Wang Shouren is not in front of Fengtian Gate at the moment.
Chang Feng knew that the imperial scholar mentioned by the emperor was probably Wang Shouren.
He was sweating for Wang Shouren.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing took out a memorial.Read out the name of the memorial: ""Wang Shouren, a Jinshi who observes politics from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, speaks bluntly about Anxi's Northwest Frontier Affairs Policy"."
A censor jumped out immediately: "Your Majesty, Wang Shouren is arrogant! A government official from the Ministry of Industry has only been on the gold list for only five days. How dare you talk about the security of the Northwest Frontier."
"The emperor should remove such madmen from their official positions."
The other came out of work: "Report to the emperor. The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are not satisfied with their duties. They have only been an official for a few days, but they are not satisfied with their duties. They are really not worthy of being an official. They should be dismissed."
The principle of this gang of Qing rumors is that the more officials you have, the more you want to join; the more famous you are, the more you want to join.
If it was the son of the head of the Imperial Academy, he would be overwhelmed by me just a few days after he entered the official position.It seems how capable I am!
Emperor Hongzhi said, "Masters, you haven't heard his memorandum yet, so why rush to impeach him?"
Afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiao Jing to read Wang Shouren's memorabilia in public.
Wang Shouren's "Northwest Frontier Affairs Policy" contains thousands of words, and the general content has eight points.
First, save talents for emergencies.
Gather the nobles of the imperial court and the children of the Duke's family to teach martial arts.There is an annual assessment, and two or three of them who are superior will be awarded military posts.
The left and right servants of the Ministry of War go to the northwest to patrol the border every year in rotation.When patrolling the border, bring the winners of the assessment.Let them follow military studies.
In this way, once there are changes in the northwest, the imperial court will not be caught off guard due to lack of military talents.
Second, take advantage of the short and long.
There are many strong generals in the Northwest Frontier.But these years, the imperial court will be too strict on the northwest.
For example, a commander of the Datong Guard was dismissed as an idler because the format of the document he wrote to the Ministry of War was not correct, and he was suspected of disrespecting the Ministry.
It is not advisable to do so.Side generals should not be replaced easily because of minor mistakes.Those veterans who have been there for a long time are familiar with the location.It is always better than the Beijing camp generals temporarily assigned to the northwest.
Even if they make small mistakes, they should be allowed to make up for their crimes and meritorious deeds.
Third, reduce Beijing fees to cover side fees.
The ministries of the Beijing camp welcomed and sent each other off, and entertained them with wine and banquets, which cost too much military expenditure.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households write off military expenditures, and they are often very lenient to the Beijing camp.The army on the other side is extremely strict.
The extravagant expenditures of the Beijing camp should be reduced, subsidized to the frontier army, and replaced with real food, horses, and ordnance.
Fourth, farm fields for food.
The garrison on the three frontiers in the northwest continued to farm, and sent envoys to the frontier army to supervise the various units of the frontier army.
This one, in the vernacular of later generations, is to carry out the mass production movement.
Fifth, practice the law to establish prestige.That is, strict military discipline.
The court can ignore the trivial matters in peacetime.Once in wartime, if the generals of the frontier army miss the opportunity to fight, they should set up the military law.
Sixth, use grace to provoke.
Once the soldiers of the frontier army are killed in battle, the orphans of the martyrs should be well compensated.Teach orphans to avenge their parents.
When the orphans grow up, they will be included in the frontier army.Then you can become a brave soldier.
Seventh, strictly abide by the advantages and disadvantages.
Yingcheng sticks to it, and you can look for opportunities to defeat the enemy by standing in an invincible place first.
It is necessary to build additional military forts in the northwest, use the forts as bases, and coordinate with each other among various ministries.
Eighth, the small loss is the whole big.Do not pursue small defeats.
It took Xiao Jing two quarters to finish reading Wang Shouren's memorial.
This is the famous "Shouren's Eight Strategies for the Northwest" in the 12th year of Hongzhi.
This strategy was proposed by Wang Shouren, who had just entered an official position at the age of 28 and had no qualifications.But it was extended by Daming for a long time.
Until 50 years later, Yang Bo, a famous official of a generation, was in charge of military affairs in the Northwest. His methods of defending the border, such as building forts, rejuvenating the army, building side boxes, and repairing defenses, were still born out of the "Shouren Eight Northwest Strategies".
After Xiao Jing finished reading the memorial, the front courtyard was completely silent.
Ma Wen was promoted out of the class, and said seriously: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and asked, "Oh? Why?"
Ma Wensheng replied: "Because the emperor got a young talent with the talents of Wang Shu and Wang Yue!"
This is a supreme evaluation.
When Wang Shu went out, he became a general, and when he entered, he became a prime minister.He is a model among civil servants who lead soldiers.
Not to mention Wang Yue.The No. 1 general in the Chenghua Dynasty, and the Hongzhi Dynasty went straight to Helan Mountain.So far, Wang Yue is the only civil servant in Ming Dynasty who was knighted for his military service.
Ma Wensheng's words became a prophecy.
The third and last civil servant of the Ming Dynasty who was knighted for military service was Wang Shouren 20 years later.
Liu Daxia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War said: "My Majesty, if Wang Shouren can be trained, he has the potential to be a border minister in the future."
It's time for Chang Feng's show.
Chang Feng left the class, knelt down on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(l(l)
"Aww! In the prosperous age of Hongzhi, talents emerge in large numbers, and the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. Long live the emperor, long live long live!"
"Taizu Taizong has a spirit in the sky, and he will also feel gratified! Hey!"
If you want to stay in court for a long time, you must learn to act.
One of the most basic requirements for a qualified actor is that tears come as soon as they are said.Some actors who can only squeeze out a few drops of cat urine with eye drops can only be regarded as top-notch acting skills and first-rate flow.
Hongzhi Emperor Longyan Dayue: "God bestowed such a talent as King Shouren, and it is the blessings of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Ministry of War immediately put Wang Shouren's "Northwest Military Affairs Policy" into practice."
Things have come to this point, the censors have no choice but to shut up.
It's not that they don't want to be picky.However, these rotten scholars don't know anything about frontier military affairs, and they don't know where to start if they want to pick a bone.
They understand noisy and ginseng people, but they don't understand Anbang Dingguo.
Emperor Hongzhi asked Ma Wensheng, who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, "Are there any vacancies for the head of the Ministry of War?"
Wang Shouren's qualifications are too low.No matter how much Emperor Hongzhi valued him, at most he could only waive his political observation period and directly appoint him as the principal.This is already an extraordinary grace.
The official position of the Sixth Ministry is a radish and a pit.Ma Wensheng was a little helpless: "Your Majesty, there are no vacancies for the head of the Ministry of War."
Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Which department has a vacancy?"
Ma Wensheng replied: "Only the Ministry of Punishment still lacks the head of the Qingli Department in Beizhili."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Well, the decree is to remove Wang Shouren, a new Jinshi Jinshi, who will be in charge of the government. He will actually be appointed as the head of the Ministry of Punishment. If there is a vacancy in the Ministry of War, he will be transferred to the Ministry of War."
Chang Feng howled without losing the opportunity: "The emperor is wise! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Civil and military officials could only follow suit and shout long live.
Chang Feng is now more and more understanding of Wansui Pavilion Lao Wanan.
The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.
After the early court, Wang Shouren suddenly became a rising star in the officialdom.Satisfied, he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to take up his post.
Chang Feng was really happy for Wang Shouren.
Someone has been very unhappy lately.This person is Min Gui, the new Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments.
When the case of Li Guang happened in the eighth year of Hongzhi, Min Gui was still the censor of Zuodu.He went to Chang Feng to ask for Li Guang's letter, so as to start a big case and seek promotion for his subordinate officials.
Chang Feng perfunctory him and lied that the letter had been burned.
Since then, Min Gui and Chang Feng have formed a relationship.
This year Min Gui was transferred to the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment.He found out that the Ministry of Punishment was crushed to death by Jin Yiwei.
Jinyiwei is a powerful department integrating arrest, detention, interrogation, sentencing, and execution.
Jin Yiwei snatched away many cases that originally belonged to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Many of the criminals belonged to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jin Yiwei said he would pick them up.
The subordinate officials at all levels of the Ministry of Punishment said that they were inseparable from Jin Yiwei, but in fact they were afraid of Jin Yiwei to the point of death.He didn't dare to compete with Jin Yiwei for power.
Min Gui thought to himself: If things go on like this, what will the court want the Ministry of Punishments to do?What do you want Sanfa to do?Just revoke the three legal divisions directly, and just sue Xianjing Jinyiwei.
Today, Min Gui was reading a case file in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He asked the doctor beside him: "The evidence for this serious case of killing his wife in Daxing County is solid, why hasn't the case been finalized yet?"
The doctor showed panic: "Ah, this case has been transferred to Jin Yiwei. The lower official forgot to take out the case file, and I have troubled the gods of the department. I really deserve to die."
Min Gui was at a loss: "Why, Jin Yiwei now even cares about the killing of wives by ordinary people?"
The doctor replied: "Report to the Ministry Hall. When the murderer was caught, he shouted, 'The officials are all bastards, and the emperor is also a bastard'."
"Jin Yiwei said that the man insulted the Holy Majesty, and the murder case turned into a treason case. He took it over."
Min Gui clapped the case: "Jin Yiwei is too domineering! The case was investigated by the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Punishment. The person was also arrested by the Supervision Department."
"Jin Yiwei picked peaches when he came up? The case is transferred, and the credit will be theirs."
The doctor said: "Butang, you are in charge of the Ministry of Punishments for the first time, and there are some things you don't know. Jin Yiwei has always been so domineering."
"Our criminal department has almost become a handyman for Jin Yiwei."
Min Gui's face showed sullenness, and he said in his heart: It is said that the new official takes office three fires.My first fire is not to burn the Ministry of Punishment, but to burn Jinyiwei!
Coincidentally.
The supervisor Yan Xiaoliu entered the lobby: "Min Butang, our supervisor has just taken over a robbery case worth 100 taels. Several people have been arrested."
Min Gui frowned: "Such a small case is worth reporting to Qiu Guan?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is also called "Qiu Guan", which is Min Gui's self-proclaimed name.
Yan Xiaoliu whispered to Min Gui's ear: "Min Butang, this case involves the general banner of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi"
Jin Yiwei Zuo Tongzhi lobby.
Qianhu Basha came to Changfeng.
Ninth Lady's Tujia family was recruited by Chang Feng to Jinyiwei many years ago.We started with the eyes and ears who had no staff, and then Chang Feng solved the staff problem for them.
These Tujia people are the confidantes of Chang Feng's confidants.
When Basha saw Chang Feng, he knelt down with a plop.
Chang Feng was reading a book and said without raising his head, "How many times have I told you that you don't need to be so polite when there are no outsiders."
"According to the relationship, I have to call you uncle. How can an uncle kneel down to his brother-in-law all day long?"
Basha didn't speak, nor did he get up.
Chang Feng put down his book and stared at Basha.
Seeing Basha's mournful expression, there must be something wrong.
Chang Feng asked: "What happened? Did it involve people's lives? Which family's son of a high-ranking official did you accidentally kill while handling the case?"
Basha kowtowed heavily to Chang Feng, and replied, "That's not true."
Chang Feng said: "It doesn't matter if no one is killed. Tell me, what happened?"
Basha said: "Master Chang, I'm damned, I didn't teach my nephew well!"
Basha poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and told the whole story.
Basha has a nephew, 30 years old, named Yongni.Since he was a teenager, this boy has followed Mrs. Ninth to dump stolen goods, and he is very clever.
Later, Mrs. Ninth became Chang Feng's concubine on the couch, and the Tujia people ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs.
Yongni also became a Jinyiwei with a staff.Relying on the care of my uncle Basha, the general flag was raised this year.
Chang Feng repeatedly explained: You Tujia men have become the emperor's pro-army Tiqi, so don't touch the business of selling stolen goods from now on.Don't insult Tiqi's identity.
However, Yongni has been addicted to gambling in recent months, lost a lot of money, and owed a lot of debts to Wei Zhongpaoze.
He dared not tell Uncle Basha about it.Just go back to the old business, and find some quick money selling business after the business.
I just did it twice, but I missed the third time, and was caught by the people from the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice during the transaction.
After hearing Basha's narration, Chang Feng cursed angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't touch that dirty business again!"
"If you are short of money, you can ask me for it! It's relatives trapping relatives, can I not give it to you?"
"That's good, I was caught by the criminal department, and I was ashamed and thrown to my grandma's house!"
Basha hurriedly kowtowed: "Master Chang, I was wrong. I failed to discipline Yongni well."
Chang Feng said angrily: "I've already become a member of the General Banner. After two more upgrades, I can wear flying fish and go with Xiuchun. I'm still doing this kind of pickling business. Did Yongni get shit in his head?"
"Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not raise wealth. This time I have to punish him properly!"
Basha said: "Master Chang is right, he is right. He should be punished. But...can you get him out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice first?"
"The general banner of the Jinyiwei is locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is extremely disrespectful to spread the word."
Chang Feng said: "Now you know it's disrespectful? Why did you go so early? It's not the godfather's fault. Yongni has no parents, your uncle is his father."
Basha kowtowed again, so hard that his forehead bled, "Master Chang, this subordinate is wrong."
Chang Feng said: "Forget it. Send someone to take my name card to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and get Yongni out first."
In the past, Chang Feng's nomination from the Ministry of Criminal Justice was just a matter of passing a name card.
Because the previous Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was Bai Ang, who had the reputation of being an expert in flood control.
Bai Ang was originally the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but was later transferred to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
Chang Feng and Bai Ang are very friendly.At the beginning, he went to Shandong with Liu Daxia to control the floods, and even asked Bai Ang to come to Jinyiwei to give lectures.
During the six years when Bai Ang was Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as long as Chang Feng handed over the name cards to mention people, there was no one who could not be mentioned.
An hour later, Basha returned to the guard room with Chang Feng's name card.
Chang Feng frowned: "Where are the Yongni people?"
Basha replied: "Master Chang. People in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that Min Gui and Minister Shangshu have spoken. The criminals in this case must not be transferred to the Wugan Yamen."
Chang Feng slapped the table: "Joke. When did Jinyiwei become a 'nothing yamen'?"
Suddenly, Chang Feng reacted.Old man Min doesn't deal with me, he wants to take advantage of Yongni's affairs to fight against me!
broken!
Jin Yiwei's general banner participated in the sale of stolen goods, which was a huge scandal.
Old man Min has been the censor of Zuodu for many years, and the officials and censors are all his people.
If the officials and censors followed suit, the consequences would be disastrous.
Chang Feng said: "Let Qian Ning bring a hundred warriors to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest them. I don't believe it, it's just a prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, dare to prevent Jin Yiwei from raising people?"
In the afternoon, the Ministry of punishment is in prison.
Qian Ning came to the gate of the prison aggressively with his strongman.
The head of the prison hurriedly knelt down to Qian Ning: "Meet the superior."
Qian Ning said, "I want to go in and raise a criminal."
The prison chief asked cautiously: "I don't know which prisoner I want to mention?"
Channing replied, "Yongni."
The prison chief said: "On the job, you can mention anyone. He is the only one who can't do it. He is the criminal that our Minbutang calls for strict interrogation."
Qian Ning sneered: "Oh, the sun really came out of the bed. The head of the criminal department, dare to obstruct Jin Yiwei's command to raise people?"
"Come on, lock him! Break open the cell door and go in to pick him up."
The jailer hurriedly said: "I'm on a job, I'm just a servant. If you have something to say, talk to Min Butang!"
After speaking, the cell leader pointed to the door of the prison.I saw a chair and a table at the door of the prison.An old man was sitting on the chair, drinking tea leisurely.
The old man was Min Gui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments.
Qian Ning walked over and cupped his hands neither humble nor overbearing: "Min Butang."
Min Gui said, "You can't take Yongni with you. I told you so."
"He's a robber who sells stolen goods. Since when did you Jinyiwei even take care of trivial matters like robbery and stolen stolen goods?"
Qian Ning said: "This person is involved in the Qin case. Anyone involved in the Qin case will be under the supervision of Jinyiwei."
Qian Ning didn't say that Yongni was the general banner of Jinyiwei.He was ashamed.
Min Gui picked up a pen from the table: "The Qin case? Which Qin case? Tell me, I'll write it down. After recording, I'll ask you to mention it."
Qian Ning was taken aback, and then said, "This case is confidential."
Min Gui put down his pen: "Don't use the word "secret" to prevaricate me."
After speaking, he picked up a waist knife from the ground and slapped it on the table.He held another key in his hand.
Min Gui said: "Did you see it? I have the key to the prison in my hand. If you have the ability, take a waist knife and chop off my hand."
"Otherwise, you don't want to take this key away."
The literati are not to be feared, but the literati are afraid of playing hooligans.
Min Gui has always been the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment, the official of the court.No matter how arrogant and domineering Qian Ning was, he didn't dare to be rough on him.
Qian Ning had no choice but to get close to him: "Min Butang, the factory guard and the Sanfa Department are both in charge of the prison, and they are a family."
"Since it's a family, why bother to make a fuss? It's no good for everyone to make trouble."
Min Gui sneered: "Oh, a family? In the eighth year of Hongzhi, I went to you Chang Tongzhi to ask for Li Guang's letter. Why didn't he treat me as a family at that time?"
"Now that his subordinates have committed crimes, they have become a family with me?"
Qian Ning tried hard to persuade him to no avail.He had no choice but to return to Jinyiwei and find Changfeng.
Chang Feng asked: "Did someone bring it up?"
Qian Ning smiled wryly: "That old guy Min Gui, instead of going to the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to manage politics, he went to the prison to act as a gatekeeper."
"Master Chang, I can't do anything with him."
Chang Feng said: "Understood. He is fighting against me."
Qian Ning asked: "Master Chang, what should we do? If we go through the court, we will convict Yongni. Our Jin Yiwei's face can be stuffed in his crotch."
Chang Feng said: "It's not just as simple as losing face. Min Gui is the leader of the Qing Rumor Officer. If Yongni is convicted, the Qing Rumor Officer will swarm like a hornet."
"They will flood our brocade guards with papers."
"It's not just the Qing rumor officials. I just offended the civil officials of the entire capital. The civil officials of other yamen will also help."
Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, please make up your mind."
Chang Feng said: "It's simple. There must always be a presiding judge. According to the rules, Shangshu, Shilang, and Langzhong don't ask about robbery cases."
"If Shangshu, Shilang, and Langzhong personally try the robbery case, even if the trial is clear, it will not count."
Not only modern times pay attention to legal and reasonable procedures for handling cases.The same is true in the Ming Dynasty.
If Min Gui or his servants and doctors interrogated the case, it would be a violation of procedure.Interrogation results do not count.
Chang Feng took a sip of tea, and said again: "The person who interrogates the robbery case is the Yuanwailang or the head of each department."
"Their secret files are all in our hands. The old way, use the secret files to threaten and lure them."
"Send someone to inquire now, which Yuanwailang or principal Min Gui will ask to try Yongni's case."
Qian Ning said, "Success. I'll go right away."
In the evening, Chang returned home full of vigor.
Mrs. Ninth brought him a bowl of iced sour plum soup: "It's too hot, drink sour plum soup to relieve the heat."
Chang Feng poured the iced sour plum soup directly on the ground.
Mrs. Nine said: "You man, why do you take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?"
Chang Feng said: "I'm full of gas. How can I drink sour plum soup?"
Madam Nine asked: "Who is mad at you again?"
Chang Feng said: "Your good nephew, Yongni!"
Madam Nine asked: "Did he mess up his errand?"
Chang Feng said angrily: "What's wrong with running an errand? He went back to his old business and wasted money on the business of selling stolen goods. He was arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
"A large group of civil servants in the capital are waiting to use him for my article!"
Mrs. Ninth was dumbfounded: "Yongni? This stupid car!"
Chang Feng said: "I told you a long time ago. It's okay to restrain your clansmen. Now it's all right, I have to lose face and even lose my official position!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Ninth's tears of grievance overflowed like water.
Liu Xiaoyan came over: "I heard it at the door just now. It's such a big deal, why would I lose my job?"
"It's been more than ten years, how many times have you broken through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Can you still capsize the gutter because of this?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaoyan picked up the handkerchief and went to help Mrs. Ninth wipe her tears.
Chang Feng knew that he had gone too far just now, so he calmed down: "It's a trouble, but it's not impossible to solve it. Forget it, I'm hungry, let's eat."
Chang Feng suppressed his anger, and at night in Mrs. Ninth's bedroom, beat her up.
It may be that the strike was too ruthless, and Mrs. Ninth vomited.From time to time, the charming voice of Mrs. Ninth could be heard in the bedroom, "Come out! Come out! Uh huh."
The next day, Chang Feng finished the morning court.When the court was over, Min Gui walked up to him.
Min Gui smiled and said, "Chang Tongzhi, you have no way to govern."
Chang Feng said calmly: "What Min Butang taught is true."
Min Gui said: "I know your countermeasure. It's nothing more than threatening Yuanwailang and the principal who are asking questions with secret documents."
Chang Feng smiled slightly: "I don't understand what Min Butang is talking about."
Min Gui restrained his smile: "Chang Feng, tell you, you can't beat me this time!"
Chang Feng saw confidence in Min Gui's eyes.
He didn't answer, and left Fengtianmen directly, and returned to Jinyiwei.
Not long after, Qian Ning found Chang Feng: "Master Chang, Min Gui is such an old fox!"
Chang Feng asked: "How to say?"
Qian Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who is in charge of the trial of Yongni's sale of stolen goods? The new head of the Beizhili Cleaning Department, Wang Shouren!"
Chang Feng was taken aback: "What?"
Min Gui is indeed a veteran in the officialdom!
Wang Shouren is Chang Feng's friend, how could Chang Feng blackmail Wang Shouren with a secret document?
Besides, Wang Shouren has just entered the officialdom.Even if Chang Feng threatens him regardless of friendship, there is no black material about him.
Wang Shouren will not show favoritism to Chang Feng.Min Gui is good at reading people. He thinks that Wang Shoumen has four words written on his forehead, "a whole body of righteousness".
Besides, the young talent that the emperor just praised and promoted exceptionally.The first case handled by the criminal department was favoritism?Wang Shouren is not that stupid.
Chang Feng took a breath: "What a Min Gui! No wonder he was full of confidence in Fengtianmen just now."
Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, why don't you go to Mr. Wang to discuss it? You are literary friends, and you have been in the Gongyuan several times together. We have been friends for more than ten years."
"He always wants to give you some noodles."
Now, this is the only way left.
Chang Feng sent someone to the criminal department across the street to call Wang Shouren.
Chang Feng had someone serve tea to Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren took a sip of tea: "Biluochun of Jinyiwei is indeed better than Gao Sui of the Ministry of Punishment."
According to the rules of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the new director is only allowed to drink high-quality drinks.This is a blow to the new officials.
Chang Feng asked calmly: "When I first arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, did you go well? What kind of errand did you take?"
Wang Shouren is no longer the teenage boy who fainted by the roadside from hunger.
Anyway, he is a person who is enough to be called a saint in the history books.His intelligence is the best in the world.
Wang Shouren knew what Chang Feng wanted to say: "Brother Chang, if you intercede for Yongni's case, you should refrain from opening your mouth."
"If I were playing for your face, I would not be Wang Shouren."
Wang Shouren's attitude was firm.Chang Feng knew that he would never persuade him.
Helpless, Chang Feng had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "What kind of case is not a case. I'm not interested."
"We have been friends for more than ten years. From now on, we will run business across the street and come to drink tea with me when we are free."
Wang Shouren is a person with a big structure, not a dead-headed person.
He put down the teacup: "Brother Chang. I know that someone in Beijing wants to make your article based on the case of Yongni selling stolen goods."
"A small case of selling stolen goods may turn into a political wave."
"I am in charge of this case, and I will interrogate it impartially. I will not take your favor into consideration."
"Because of our friendship, you won't use Jin Yiwei's dirty tricks to deal with me."
"It's a dead end."
"But what if the case is not my trial?"
Although Wang Shouren has just entered the officialdom, he is as cunning as a 30-year-old Beijing official.
He is well aware of the current situation.
Now he is caught between the civil servants and Jin Yiwei.
The civil servant regarded him as a knife most suitable for attacking Chang Feng.
If he helps Jin Yiwei for personal gain, the civil officials will regard him as a traitor.Then his future will be ruined.More importantly, favoritism would go against his conscience.
If you don't help Jin Yiwei, you will put your friend Chang Feng at a disadvantage.
What he said just now was a trick for Chang Feng: You think of a way to replace me and let someone else try this case, won't it be over?
If someone else tried the case, you Jin Yiwei have plenty of ways to make the presiding officer compromise.
Chang Feng understood, and he sighed: "Great! You are indeed the emperor's favorite person. No wonder I returned my name to Luosun Shan, and you can rank sixth in the top two."
Wang Shouren got up, and smiled slightly: "Who is smart or not. I didn't say anything. Brother Chang, I'm done with the tea. I'll go back to the Ministry of Punishments first."
After Wang Shouren left, Qian Ning entered the value room: "Master Chang, is he willing to help us?"
Chang Feng laughed and said, "If he helps us, he won't be Wang Shouren."
Qian Ning frowned: "This bastard who doesn't miss old love"
But Chang Feng waved his hand: "He is my best friend and will always be. Don't speak ill of Wang Shouren in front of me from now on."
Chan Ning asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Chang Feng said: "I want to go to the palace."
Inside the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Hongzhi was reviewing the memorial.Xiao Jing reported: "Your Majesty, Changfeng asks to see you."
Emperor Hongzhi thought that Chang Feng was going to report some important confidential matter: "Xuan."
Not long after, Chang Feng came in and saluted Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi asked, "What's the matter?"
Chang Feng said: "My Majesty, yesterday morning, you issued an order to expand the mausoleum of Duke Xiangmin, Wang Yue. But you didn't appoint a special person."
"The reason why I entered the palace today is to recommend someone to be in charge of the expansion project of Duke Xiangmin's mausoleum."
Wang Yue's bones were buried in the northwest.But there is a clothes tomb in Beijing.
Only when a person dies does he know his goodness.
The two speech officials who attacked Wang Yue before asked Emperor Hongzhi to expand Wang Yue's tomb yesterday morning.Emperor Hongzhi readily agreed immediately.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Chang Feng, when you enter the palace and ask me to summon you, all the reports are big matters. Why did you report a small matter this time?"
Chang Feng immediately possessed his body, and said with tears in his eyes: "I report to the emperor. I followed Xiangmin Gong to carry the coffin to the west, and I have great admiration for Xiangmin Gong."
"After the death of Duke Xiangmin, his voice and smile appeared in front of my eyes from time to time."
"Expanding the mausoleum of Duke Xiangmin may be a small matter for the court, but it is a big event for the officials."
"That's why I specially went to the palace for this matter, recommending candidates for the expansion project of the mausoleum."
Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Why do you recommend Wang Shouren?"
Chang Feng had already thought about the reasonable reasons for recommending Wang Shouren.
Chang Feng said: "Report to the emperor. Wang Shouren had published "Annbei Frontier Affairs Policy" before. Ma Laobutang of the Ministry of Officials praised him for his qualifications as Duke Xiangmin."
"Duke Xiangmin has devoted all his life to the northwest. Sending Wang Shouren to help him expand the mausoleum is to comfort the spirit of Duke Xiangmin in heaven—his old man has successors!"
"I suggest that Wang Shouren burn the copy of "An Northwest Frontier Affairs Policy" to Xiangmin Gong before the expansion project starts."
"Xiangmin Gongquan has knowledge, and he will be gratified that the court has produced a talent who understands military affairs in the Northwest."
Changfeng's tongue shines like a lotus flower, and the reason is impeccable.
Emperor Hongzhi was moved by Chang Fengfeng's sincere words.
He said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes. It's perfect to assign Wang Shouren to take charge of this matter! Why didn't I think of it before. Thanks for reminding me."
"Play as you please!"
According to historical records: "In the 12th year of Hongzhi, at the end of spring, the emperor sent Shou Rendu to expand the tomb of Wei Ningbo".
Wang Shouren escaped from the confrontation between Jin Yiwei and the civil officials.
Min Gui had no choice but to choose a confidant named Wailang to hear the case.
The surname of this member is Yang.
The chief interrogator is not Chang Feng's close friend, so he can play tricks without any scruples.
Daming's officials rarely have clean ones under their buttocks.
The only difference is whether the official's ass is a pile of shit or a cesspit.
Chang Feng found an illegal affair in Yang Yuanwai's secret files.
In the fifth year of Hongzhi, when he was a county magistrate in Beizhili, he had been involved in corruption and selling.
Chang Feng threatened this matter.
Either help Jin Yiwei.You just offended Min Gui.The big deal is that you are not allowed to be promoted while Min Gui is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment.
Don't help Jin Yiwei?Excuse me.Corruption and selling will result in dismissal and questioning.You will change from a court official to a prisoner.
Yang Yuanwai was not stupid, so he had to compromise.
Yongni became passing by when the thieves were selling the stolen goods, and was mistakenly arrested by the Supervision Department of the Criminal Ministry.Acquitted.
Chang Feng said "magnanimously": Jin Yiwei and the Criminal Department are a family.Jin Yiwei will not pursue the matter of arresting Yongni by mistake.
Min Gui had already connected Yushi Qingliu and Beijing Chinese officials in tandem, ready to set off a political tide.
But in the end, he still hadn't fought Jin Yiwei's Chang Butcher, so he could only die in the end.
Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not support wealth.
Although the Ministry of punishment did not convict Yongni.Chang Feng did not spare him lightly.
In front of more than 100 Tujia people in Weizhong, Chang Feng cut off three fingers of Yongni as a warning.
The one who profited the most from this small turmoil was actually Wang Shouren.
Supervising and expanding the mausoleum of the No. 1 general of Chenghua Dynasty was entrusted with an important task for a new Jinshi.
Wang Shouren's official career seems to be bright, but it seems
(End of this chapter)
Hongzhi's 12-year gold list ranked No. [-] and No. [-] was Wang Shouren.
There are only three people in the first class of the palace examination, and the sixth in the second class, that is, the ninth in the country.
This is a pretty impressive ranking in the palace examination.
According to the normal situation, as long as the sixth in the second class is not sorry for the audience, he can enter the Imperial Academy and become a "cabinet reserve cadre" - Shu Jishi.
But Wang Shouren encountered a problem.
The head of the Hanlin Academy is his father, Wang Hua.
If Lao Tzu is his son's immediate boss, there must be criticisms.The royal family has been a scholarly family for generations and attaches great importance to reputation.
Emperor Hongzhi was very considerate of Wang Hua and his son.So Wang Shouren was ordered to watch the Ministry of Political Affairs.
The 28-year-old Wang Shouren started his legendary official career.
After the Qionglin banquet, the Wang family would naturally throw a large banquet to celebrate Wang Shouren's entry into office.
In fact, his father, Wang Hua, had a little regret in his heart: Well, it's fine if I'm not the head of the Imperial Academy, and my son can become a good scholar.
This is good, I got a Jinshi who is neither salty nor indifferent, and he is still an observer of politics from the Ministry of Industry.In the future, there will be at most six ministers, and it is impossible to enter the cabinet.
Wang Shouren didn't think so.He hated going to the Hanlin Academy to be a sour scholar who dealt with words all day long.
In his opinion, being able to go to the Ministry of Industry to study practical work and actually serve the common people is much better than being an imperial official.
Most of the scholars who have been in poverty for ten years, are obsessed with imperial examinations, because they want to get promoted and make money, and their fame and fortune will roll in.
Wang Shouren belongs to that very small group of people.The imperial examination is for the ideal in my heart: to apply what I have learned to benefit the people of Li.
Let's talk about a big banquet in the scholar's mansion.
Laozi is the number one scholar, and his son is the sixth in the top two.This is enough to be a good talk in Shilin.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, two cabinet members who had worked with Wang Hua in the Imperial Academy, came to congratulate them in person.
All the cabinet members came, and naturally a large group of civil servants also came.
Before the banquet, an unexpected guest came to the scholar's mansion. Jin Yiwei Chang Butcher.
The originally lively hall suddenly fell silent.
The eyes of all the civil servants were all focused on Chang Feng.
From the early morning of that day, Chang Feng reprimanded Zhang Hongzhi severely. On the second day, Zhang Hongzhi's brother died in imperial prison.The civil servants regarded Chang Feng as an enemy.
They both hate and fear Chang Feng.
Civil officials even privately referred to Chang Fengmi as "Wantong No. [-]".
Chang Feng didn't care about the eyes of others.He went straight to his friend Wang Shouren.There are several people behind him.Carried a small box.
Wang Shouren cupped his hands: "Brother Chang."
Chang Feng joked: "Brother Shouren. It's a pity that no one will accompany me to the Gongyuan in Chunwei three years later."
"I'm not sure if I fail in the test. It will be my literary friend Wang Shouren who will write the questions for the test."
A group of civil servants whispered: "Does the young master of Wang Xueshi's family have friendship with Chang Tu of Jin Yiwei?"
"Oh, I only knew that Prince Wang had his father as his backer. I didn't expect that he also had a backer in Jinyiwei."
Chang Feng pointed to the box at the back: "Brother Shouren's title on the gold list. I don't have anything to give, so I just prepared something."
Zhang Cai, Chang Feng's attendant and Deputy Qianhu, opened the box.Inside the box were six gleaming silver pot helmets.
Wang Shouren was surprised: "Brother Chang, this is?"
Chang Feng replied: "At the end of autumn in the 22nd year of Chenghua, we became friends because of six pot helmets."
"You happen to be the sixth in the second class in this subject. I'll let someone hit these six silver pot helmets to congratulate you."
The six silver pot helmets seem to weigh 50 taels each.About 300 taels of silver.
Wang Shouren said with a smile: "If I accept your gift, I will owe you another six pot helmets."
Chang Feng held Wang Shouren's hand, and said sincerely, "May you step into the officialdom and be a competent, famous, and virtuous official like Wang Shu, Ma Wensheng, and Wang Yue who are loyal to the country and love the people."
Then Chang Feng clung to Wang Shouren's ear, and said in a low voice, "Don't be a dog official who talks about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and is full of male robbers and female prostitutes."
Wang Shouren said sternly: "To establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations. Shouren's wish is also the same in this life."
This is a heavy commitment.
Wang Shouren will use his life to fulfill this promise.
Jinyi Butcher is an atmosphere destroyer.With him here, the atmosphere of the banquet was very depressing.
After the banquet, Wang Shouren and Chang Feng came to the back garden of the scholar's mansion to talk at night.
Wang Shouren said: "Brother Chang, I plan to deliver a memorial to the emperor."
Chang Feng asked: "Oh? About river governance?"
Wang Shouren was in the Ministry of Industry to observe politics, learning to run water affairs.
Wang Shouren shook his head: "It's about military affairs, how to stabilize the northwest."
Chang Feng smiled wryly: "My brother Wang, stop looking for trouble soon!"
"Ten years ago, when you were just a juren, you stole your father's official uniform and dropped a memorial at the east middle gate of the palace."
"That memorial book made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty laugh out loud. Fortunately, the emperor was lenient and did not pursue it. He also urged you to study hard."
In the second year of Hongzhi, Wang Shouren once surpassed the ceremony.
The contents of the excerpts are also related to military affairs.
He suggested that Emperor Hongzhi educate the poor people with Confucianism.If all the poor people practice self-restraint and reverence, there will be no civil uprisings.
He also suggested that Emperor Hongzhi send Confucian scholars to Beilu to teach them benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness.If the northern captives are enlightened by saints, they will put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas immediately
Wang Shouren smiled and said, "Brother Chang, I am no longer the person I was ten years ago. Don't worry, I won't be sour and naive again."
Chang Feng said: "You just entered the official career, and you still don't understand the dangers of the court."
"There are a group of bastards in the imperial court who take pleasure in finding fault with others and participating in impeachment."
"You are an observer of the Ministry of Industry. It is a taboo to play against the Ministry of War through the Ministry of Industry."
"Whether your playbook is reasonable or not, those bastards will pick bones from eggs."
Wang Shouren smiled without saying a word.He's a man who stands his ground.As long as he wants to do, he will definitely do it.
Three days later, Yumen came to court early.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Masters, a Jinshi of Xinke Guanzheng gave me a memorial."
Scholars who observe politics are not eligible to participate in Yumen Early Dynasty.Wang Shouren is not in front of Fengtian Gate at the moment.
Chang Feng knew that the imperial scholar mentioned by the emperor was probably Wang Shouren.
He was sweating for Wang Shouren.
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing took out a memorial.Read out the name of the memorial: ""Wang Shouren, a Jinshi who observes politics from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, speaks bluntly about Anxi's Northwest Frontier Affairs Policy"."
A censor jumped out immediately: "Your Majesty, Wang Shouren is arrogant! A government official from the Ministry of Industry has only been on the gold list for only five days. How dare you talk about the security of the Northwest Frontier."
"The emperor should remove such madmen from their official positions."
The other came out of work: "Report to the emperor. The officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War are not satisfied with their duties. They have only been an official for a few days, but they are not satisfied with their duties. They are really not worthy of being an official. They should be dismissed."
The principle of this gang of Qing rumors is that the more officials you have, the more you want to join; the more famous you are, the more you want to join.
If it was the son of the head of the Imperial Academy, he would be overwhelmed by me just a few days after he entered the official position.It seems how capable I am!
Emperor Hongzhi said, "Masters, you haven't heard his memorandum yet, so why rush to impeach him?"
Afterwards, Emperor Hongzhi ordered Xiao Jing to read Wang Shouren's memorabilia in public.
Wang Shouren's "Northwest Frontier Affairs Policy" contains thousands of words, and the general content has eight points.
First, save talents for emergencies.
Gather the nobles of the imperial court and the children of the Duke's family to teach martial arts.There is an annual assessment, and two or three of them who are superior will be awarded military posts.
The left and right servants of the Ministry of War go to the northwest to patrol the border every year in rotation.When patrolling the border, bring the winners of the assessment.Let them follow military studies.
In this way, once there are changes in the northwest, the imperial court will not be caught off guard due to lack of military talents.
Second, take advantage of the short and long.
There are many strong generals in the Northwest Frontier.But these years, the imperial court will be too strict on the northwest.
For example, a commander of the Datong Guard was dismissed as an idler because the format of the document he wrote to the Ministry of War was not correct, and he was suspected of disrespecting the Ministry.
It is not advisable to do so.Side generals should not be replaced easily because of minor mistakes.Those veterans who have been there for a long time are familiar with the location.It is always better than the Beijing camp generals temporarily assigned to the northwest.
Even if they make small mistakes, they should be allowed to make up for their crimes and meritorious deeds.
Third, reduce Beijing fees to cover side fees.
The ministries of the Beijing camp welcomed and sent each other off, and entertained them with wine and banquets, which cost too much military expenditure.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households write off military expenditures, and they are often very lenient to the Beijing camp.The army on the other side is extremely strict.
The extravagant expenditures of the Beijing camp should be reduced, subsidized to the frontier army, and replaced with real food, horses, and ordnance.
Fourth, farm fields for food.
The garrison on the three frontiers in the northwest continued to farm, and sent envoys to the frontier army to supervise the various units of the frontier army.
This one, in the vernacular of later generations, is to carry out the mass production movement.
Fifth, practice the law to establish prestige.That is, strict military discipline.
The court can ignore the trivial matters in peacetime.Once in wartime, if the generals of the frontier army miss the opportunity to fight, they should set up the military law.
Sixth, use grace to provoke.
Once the soldiers of the frontier army are killed in battle, the orphans of the martyrs should be well compensated.Teach orphans to avenge their parents.
When the orphans grow up, they will be included in the frontier army.Then you can become a brave soldier.
Seventh, strictly abide by the advantages and disadvantages.
Yingcheng sticks to it, and you can look for opportunities to defeat the enemy by standing in an invincible place first.
It is necessary to build additional military forts in the northwest, use the forts as bases, and coordinate with each other among various ministries.
Eighth, the small loss is the whole big.Do not pursue small defeats.
It took Xiao Jing two quarters to finish reading Wang Shouren's memorial.
This is the famous "Shouren's Eight Strategies for the Northwest" in the 12th year of Hongzhi.
This strategy was proposed by Wang Shouren, who had just entered an official position at the age of 28 and had no qualifications.But it was extended by Daming for a long time.
Until 50 years later, Yang Bo, a famous official of a generation, was in charge of military affairs in the Northwest. His methods of defending the border, such as building forts, rejuvenating the army, building side boxes, and repairing defenses, were still born out of the "Shouren Eight Northwest Strategies".
After Xiao Jing finished reading the memorial, the front courtyard was completely silent.
Ma Wen was promoted out of the class, and said seriously: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and asked, "Oh? Why?"
Ma Wensheng replied: "Because the emperor got a young talent with the talents of Wang Shu and Wang Yue!"
This is a supreme evaluation.
When Wang Shu went out, he became a general, and when he entered, he became a prime minister.He is a model among civil servants who lead soldiers.
Not to mention Wang Yue.The No. 1 general in the Chenghua Dynasty, and the Hongzhi Dynasty went straight to Helan Mountain.So far, Wang Yue is the only civil servant in Ming Dynasty who was knighted for his military service.
Ma Wensheng's words became a prophecy.
The third and last civil servant of the Ming Dynasty who was knighted for military service was Wang Shouren 20 years later.
Liu Daxia, Shangshu of the Ministry of War said: "My Majesty, if Wang Shouren can be trained, he has the potential to be a border minister in the future."
It's time for Chang Feng's show.
Chang Feng left the class, knelt down on the ground, and cried bitterly: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo(l(l)
"Aww! In the prosperous age of Hongzhi, talents emerge in large numbers, and the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. Long live the emperor, long live long live!"
"Taizu Taizong has a spirit in the sky, and he will also feel gratified! Hey!"
If you want to stay in court for a long time, you must learn to act.
One of the most basic requirements for a qualified actor is that tears come as soon as they are said.Some actors who can only squeeze out a few drops of cat urine with eye drops can only be regarded as top-notch acting skills and first-rate flow.
Hongzhi Emperor Longyan Dayue: "God bestowed such a talent as King Shouren, and it is the blessings of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Ministry of War immediately put Wang Shouren's "Northwest Military Affairs Policy" into practice."
Things have come to this point, the censors have no choice but to shut up.
It's not that they don't want to be picky.However, these rotten scholars don't know anything about frontier military affairs, and they don't know where to start if they want to pick a bone.
They understand noisy and ginseng people, but they don't understand Anbang Dingguo.
Emperor Hongzhi asked Ma Wensheng, who was in charge of the Ministry of Officials, "Are there any vacancies for the head of the Ministry of War?"
Wang Shouren's qualifications are too low.No matter how much Emperor Hongzhi valued him, at most he could only waive his political observation period and directly appoint him as the principal.This is already an extraordinary grace.
The official position of the Sixth Ministry is a radish and a pit.Ma Wensheng was a little helpless: "Your Majesty, there are no vacancies for the head of the Ministry of War."
Emperor Hongzhi asked: "Which department has a vacancy?"
Ma Wensheng replied: "Only the Ministry of Punishment still lacks the head of the Qingli Department in Beizhili."
Emperor Hongzhi said: "Well, the decree is to remove Wang Shouren, a new Jinshi Jinshi, who will be in charge of the government. He will actually be appointed as the head of the Ministry of Punishment. If there is a vacancy in the Ministry of War, he will be transferred to the Ministry of War."
Chang Feng howled without losing the opportunity: "The emperor is wise! Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Civil and military officials could only follow suit and shout long live.
Chang Feng is now more and more understanding of Wansui Pavilion Lao Wanan.
The dragon slayer will eventually become a dragon.
After the early court, Wang Shouren suddenly became a rising star in the officialdom.Satisfied, he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to take up his post.
Chang Feng was really happy for Wang Shouren.
Someone has been very unhappy lately.This person is Min Gui, the new Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments.
When the case of Li Guang happened in the eighth year of Hongzhi, Min Gui was still the censor of Zuodu.He went to Chang Feng to ask for Li Guang's letter, so as to start a big case and seek promotion for his subordinate officials.
Chang Feng perfunctory him and lied that the letter had been burned.
Since then, Min Gui and Chang Feng have formed a relationship.
This year Min Gui was transferred to the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment.He found out that the Ministry of Punishment was crushed to death by Jin Yiwei.
Jinyiwei is a powerful department integrating arrest, detention, interrogation, sentencing, and execution.
Jin Yiwei snatched away many cases that originally belonged to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
Many of the criminals belonged to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Jin Yiwei said he would pick them up.
The subordinate officials at all levels of the Ministry of Punishment said that they were inseparable from Jin Yiwei, but in fact they were afraid of Jin Yiwei to the point of death.He didn't dare to compete with Jin Yiwei for power.
Min Gui thought to himself: If things go on like this, what will the court want the Ministry of Punishments to do?What do you want Sanfa to do?Just revoke the three legal divisions directly, and just sue Xianjing Jinyiwei.
Today, Min Gui was reading a case file in the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. He asked the doctor beside him: "The evidence for this serious case of killing his wife in Daxing County is solid, why hasn't the case been finalized yet?"
The doctor showed panic: "Ah, this case has been transferred to Jin Yiwei. The lower official forgot to take out the case file, and I have troubled the gods of the department. I really deserve to die."
Min Gui was at a loss: "Why, Jin Yiwei now even cares about the killing of wives by ordinary people?"
The doctor replied: "Report to the Ministry Hall. When the murderer was caught, he shouted, 'The officials are all bastards, and the emperor is also a bastard'."
"Jin Yiwei said that the man insulted the Holy Majesty, and the murder case turned into a treason case. He took it over."
Min Gui clapped the case: "Jin Yiwei is too domineering! The case was investigated by the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Punishment. The person was also arrested by the Supervision Department."
"Jin Yiwei picked peaches when he came up? The case is transferred, and the credit will be theirs."
The doctor said: "Butang, you are in charge of the Ministry of Punishments for the first time, and there are some things you don't know. Jin Yiwei has always been so domineering."
"Our criminal department has almost become a handyman for Jin Yiwei."
Min Gui's face showed sullenness, and he said in his heart: It is said that the new official takes office three fires.My first fire is not to burn the Ministry of Punishment, but to burn Jinyiwei!
Coincidentally.
The supervisor Yan Xiaoliu entered the lobby: "Min Butang, our supervisor has just taken over a robbery case worth 100 taels. Several people have been arrested."
Min Gui frowned: "Such a small case is worth reporting to Qiu Guan?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment is also called "Qiu Guan", which is Min Gui's self-proclaimed name.
Yan Xiaoliu whispered to Min Gui's ear: "Min Butang, this case involves the general banner of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi"
Jin Yiwei Zuo Tongzhi lobby.
Qianhu Basha came to Changfeng.
Ninth Lady's Tujia family was recruited by Chang Feng to Jinyiwei many years ago.We started with the eyes and ears who had no staff, and then Chang Feng solved the staff problem for them.
These Tujia people are the confidantes of Chang Feng's confidants.
When Basha saw Chang Feng, he knelt down with a plop.
Chang Feng was reading a book and said without raising his head, "How many times have I told you that you don't need to be so polite when there are no outsiders."
"According to the relationship, I have to call you uncle. How can an uncle kneel down to his brother-in-law all day long?"
Basha didn't speak, nor did he get up.
Chang Feng put down his book and stared at Basha.
Seeing Basha's mournful expression, there must be something wrong.
Chang Feng asked: "What happened? Did it involve people's lives? Which family's son of a high-ranking official did you accidentally kill while handling the case?"
Basha kowtowed heavily to Chang Feng, and replied, "That's not true."
Chang Feng said: "It doesn't matter if no one is killed. Tell me, what happened?"
Basha said: "Master Chang, I'm damned, I didn't teach my nephew well!"
Basha poured the beans out of the bamboo tube and told the whole story.
Basha has a nephew, 30 years old, named Yongni.Since he was a teenager, this boy has followed Mrs. Ninth to dump stolen goods, and he is very clever.
Later, Mrs. Ninth became Chang Feng's concubine on the couch, and the Tujia people ascended to heaven with chickens and dogs.
Yongni also became a Jinyiwei with a staff.Relying on the care of my uncle Basha, the general flag was raised this year.
Chang Feng repeatedly explained: You Tujia men have become the emperor's pro-army Tiqi, so don't touch the business of selling stolen goods from now on.Don't insult Tiqi's identity.
However, Yongni has been addicted to gambling in recent months, lost a lot of money, and owed a lot of debts to Wei Zhongpaoze.
He dared not tell Uncle Basha about it.Just go back to the old business, and find some quick money selling business after the business.
I just did it twice, but I missed the third time, and was caught by the people from the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Criminal Justice during the transaction.
After hearing Basha's narration, Chang Feng cursed angrily: "How many times have I told you, don't touch that dirty business again!"
"If you are short of money, you can ask me for it! It's relatives trapping relatives, can I not give it to you?"
"That's good, I was caught by the criminal department, and I was ashamed and thrown to my grandma's house!"
Basha hurriedly kowtowed: "Master Chang, I was wrong. I failed to discipline Yongni well."
Chang Feng said angrily: "I've already become a member of the General Banner. After two more upgrades, I can wear flying fish and go with Xiuchun. I'm still doing this kind of pickling business. Did Yongni get shit in his head?"
"Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not raise wealth. This time I have to punish him properly!"
Basha said: "Master Chang is right, he is right. He should be punished. But...can you get him out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice first?"
"The general banner of the Jinyiwei is locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. It is extremely disrespectful to spread the word."
Chang Feng said: "Now you know it's disrespectful? Why did you go so early? It's not the godfather's fault. Yongni has no parents, your uncle is his father."
Basha kowtowed again, so hard that his forehead bled, "Master Chang, this subordinate is wrong."
Chang Feng said: "Forget it. Send someone to take my name card to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and get Yongni out first."
In the past, Chang Feng's nomination from the Ministry of Criminal Justice was just a matter of passing a name card.
Because the previous Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment was Bai Ang, who had the reputation of being an expert in flood control.
Bai Ang was originally the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, but was later transferred to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.
Chang Feng and Bai Ang are very friendly.At the beginning, he went to Shandong with Liu Daxia to control the floods, and even asked Bai Ang to come to Jinyiwei to give lectures.
During the six years when Bai Ang was Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as long as Chang Feng handed over the name cards to mention people, there was no one who could not be mentioned.
An hour later, Basha returned to the guard room with Chang Feng's name card.
Chang Feng frowned: "Where are the Yongni people?"
Basha replied: "Master Chang. People in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that Min Gui and Minister Shangshu have spoken. The criminals in this case must not be transferred to the Wugan Yamen."
Chang Feng slapped the table: "Joke. When did Jinyiwei become a 'nothing yamen'?"
Suddenly, Chang Feng reacted.Old man Min doesn't deal with me, he wants to take advantage of Yongni's affairs to fight against me!
broken!
Jin Yiwei's general banner participated in the sale of stolen goods, which was a huge scandal.
Old man Min has been the censor of Zuodu for many years, and the officials and censors are all his people.
If the officials and censors followed suit, the consequences would be disastrous.
Chang Feng said: "Let Qian Ning bring a hundred warriors to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest them. I don't believe it, it's just a prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, dare to prevent Jin Yiwei from raising people?"
In the afternoon, the Ministry of punishment is in prison.
Qian Ning came to the gate of the prison aggressively with his strongman.
The head of the prison hurriedly knelt down to Qian Ning: "Meet the superior."
Qian Ning said, "I want to go in and raise a criminal."
The prison chief asked cautiously: "I don't know which prisoner I want to mention?"
Channing replied, "Yongni."
The prison chief said: "On the job, you can mention anyone. He is the only one who can't do it. He is the criminal that our Minbutang calls for strict interrogation."
Qian Ning sneered: "Oh, the sun really came out of the bed. The head of the criminal department, dare to obstruct Jin Yiwei's command to raise people?"
"Come on, lock him! Break open the cell door and go in to pick him up."
The jailer hurriedly said: "I'm on a job, I'm just a servant. If you have something to say, talk to Min Butang!"
After speaking, the cell leader pointed to the door of the prison.I saw a chair and a table at the door of the prison.An old man was sitting on the chair, drinking tea leisurely.
The old man was Min Gui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments.
Qian Ning walked over and cupped his hands neither humble nor overbearing: "Min Butang."
Min Gui said, "You can't take Yongni with you. I told you so."
"He's a robber who sells stolen goods. Since when did you Jinyiwei even take care of trivial matters like robbery and stolen stolen goods?"
Qian Ning said: "This person is involved in the Qin case. Anyone involved in the Qin case will be under the supervision of Jinyiwei."
Qian Ning didn't say that Yongni was the general banner of Jinyiwei.He was ashamed.
Min Gui picked up a pen from the table: "The Qin case? Which Qin case? Tell me, I'll write it down. After recording, I'll ask you to mention it."
Qian Ning was taken aback, and then said, "This case is confidential."
Min Gui put down his pen: "Don't use the word "secret" to prevaricate me."
After speaking, he picked up a waist knife from the ground and slapped it on the table.He held another key in his hand.
Min Gui said: "Did you see it? I have the key to the prison in my hand. If you have the ability, take a waist knife and chop off my hand."
"Otherwise, you don't want to take this key away."
The literati are not to be feared, but the literati are afraid of playing hooligans.
Min Gui has always been the main hall of the Ministry of Punishment, the official of the court.No matter how arrogant and domineering Qian Ning was, he didn't dare to be rough on him.
Qian Ning had no choice but to get close to him: "Min Butang, the factory guard and the Sanfa Department are both in charge of the prison, and they are a family."
"Since it's a family, why bother to make a fuss? It's no good for everyone to make trouble."
Min Gui sneered: "Oh, a family? In the eighth year of Hongzhi, I went to you Chang Tongzhi to ask for Li Guang's letter. Why didn't he treat me as a family at that time?"
"Now that his subordinates have committed crimes, they have become a family with me?"
Qian Ning tried hard to persuade him to no avail.He had no choice but to return to Jinyiwei and find Changfeng.
Chang Feng asked: "Did someone bring it up?"
Qian Ning smiled wryly: "That old guy Min Gui, instead of going to the lobby of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to manage politics, he went to the prison to act as a gatekeeper."
"Master Chang, I can't do anything with him."
Chang Feng said: "Understood. He is fighting against me."
Qian Ning asked: "Master Chang, what should we do? If we go through the court, we will convict Yongni. Our Jin Yiwei's face can be stuffed in his crotch."
Chang Feng said: "It's not just as simple as losing face. Min Gui is the leader of the Qing Rumor Officer. If Yongni is convicted, the Qing Rumor Officer will swarm like a hornet."
"They will flood our brocade guards with papers."
"It's not just the Qing rumor officials. I just offended the civil officials of the entire capital. The civil officials of other yamen will also help."
Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, please make up your mind."
Chang Feng said: "It's simple. There must always be a presiding judge. According to the rules, Shangshu, Shilang, and Langzhong don't ask about robbery cases."
"If Shangshu, Shilang, and Langzhong personally try the robbery case, even if the trial is clear, it will not count."
Not only modern times pay attention to legal and reasonable procedures for handling cases.The same is true in the Ming Dynasty.
If Min Gui or his servants and doctors interrogated the case, it would be a violation of procedure.Interrogation results do not count.
Chang Feng took a sip of tea, and said again: "The person who interrogates the robbery case is the Yuanwailang or the head of each department."
"Their secret files are all in our hands. The old way, use the secret files to threaten and lure them."
"Send someone to inquire now, which Yuanwailang or principal Min Gui will ask to try Yongni's case."
Qian Ning said, "Success. I'll go right away."
In the evening, Chang returned home full of vigor.
Mrs. Ninth brought him a bowl of iced sour plum soup: "It's too hot, drink sour plum soup to relieve the heat."
Chang Feng poured the iced sour plum soup directly on the ground.
Mrs. Nine said: "You man, why do you take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs?"
Chang Feng said: "I'm full of gas. How can I drink sour plum soup?"
Madam Nine asked: "Who is mad at you again?"
Chang Feng said: "Your good nephew, Yongni!"
Madam Nine asked: "Did he mess up his errand?"
Chang Feng said angrily: "What's wrong with running an errand? He went back to his old business and wasted money on the business of selling stolen goods. He was arrested by the Ministry of Criminal Justice."
"A large group of civil servants in the capital are waiting to use him for my article!"
Mrs. Ninth was dumbfounded: "Yongni? This stupid car!"
Chang Feng said: "I told you a long time ago. It's okay to restrain your clansmen. Now it's all right, I have to lose face and even lose my official position!"
After hearing this, Mrs. Ninth's tears of grievance overflowed like water.
Liu Xiaoyan came over: "I heard it at the door just now. It's such a big deal, why would I lose my job?"
"It's been more than ten years, how many times have you broken through mountains of swords and seas of fire. Can you still capsize the gutter because of this?"
After finishing speaking, Liu Xiaoyan picked up the handkerchief and went to help Mrs. Ninth wipe her tears.
Chang Feng knew that he had gone too far just now, so he calmed down: "It's a trouble, but it's not impossible to solve it. Forget it, I'm hungry, let's eat."
Chang Feng suppressed his anger, and at night in Mrs. Ninth's bedroom, beat her up.
It may be that the strike was too ruthless, and Mrs. Ninth vomited.From time to time, the charming voice of Mrs. Ninth could be heard in the bedroom, "Come out! Come out! Uh huh."
The next day, Chang Feng finished the morning court.When the court was over, Min Gui walked up to him.
Min Gui smiled and said, "Chang Tongzhi, you have no way to govern."
Chang Feng said calmly: "What Min Butang taught is true."
Min Gui said: "I know your countermeasure. It's nothing more than threatening Yuanwailang and the principal who are asking questions with secret documents."
Chang Feng smiled slightly: "I don't understand what Min Butang is talking about."
Min Gui restrained his smile: "Chang Feng, tell you, you can't beat me this time!"
Chang Feng saw confidence in Min Gui's eyes.
He didn't answer, and left Fengtianmen directly, and returned to Jinyiwei.
Not long after, Qian Ning found Chang Feng: "Master Chang, Min Gui is such an old fox!"
Chang Feng asked: "How to say?"
Qian Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know who is in charge of the trial of Yongni's sale of stolen goods? The new head of the Beizhili Cleaning Department, Wang Shouren!"
Chang Feng was taken aback: "What?"
Min Gui is indeed a veteran in the officialdom!
Wang Shouren is Chang Feng's friend, how could Chang Feng blackmail Wang Shouren with a secret document?
Besides, Wang Shouren has just entered the officialdom.Even if Chang Feng threatens him regardless of friendship, there is no black material about him.
Wang Shouren will not show favoritism to Chang Feng.Min Gui is good at reading people. He thinks that Wang Shoumen has four words written on his forehead, "a whole body of righteousness".
Besides, the young talent that the emperor just praised and promoted exceptionally.The first case handled by the criminal department was favoritism?Wang Shouren is not that stupid.
Chang Feng took a breath: "What a Min Gui! No wonder he was full of confidence in Fengtianmen just now."
Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, why don't you go to Mr. Wang to discuss it? You are literary friends, and you have been in the Gongyuan several times together. We have been friends for more than ten years."
"He always wants to give you some noodles."
Now, this is the only way left.
Chang Feng sent someone to the criminal department across the street to call Wang Shouren.
Chang Feng had someone serve tea to Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren took a sip of tea: "Biluochun of Jinyiwei is indeed better than Gao Sui of the Ministry of Punishment."
According to the rules of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, the new director is only allowed to drink high-quality drinks.This is a blow to the new officials.
Chang Feng asked calmly: "When I first arrived at the Ministry of Criminal Justice, did you go well? What kind of errand did you take?"
Wang Shouren is no longer the teenage boy who fainted by the roadside from hunger.
Anyway, he is a person who is enough to be called a saint in the history books.His intelligence is the best in the world.
Wang Shouren knew what Chang Feng wanted to say: "Brother Chang, if you intercede for Yongni's case, you should refrain from opening your mouth."
"If I were playing for your face, I would not be Wang Shouren."
Wang Shouren's attitude was firm.Chang Feng knew that he would never persuade him.
Helpless, Chang Feng had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "What kind of case is not a case. I'm not interested."
"We have been friends for more than ten years. From now on, we will run business across the street and come to drink tea with me when we are free."
Wang Shouren is a person with a big structure, not a dead-headed person.
He put down the teacup: "Brother Chang. I know that someone in Beijing wants to make your article based on the case of Yongni selling stolen goods."
"A small case of selling stolen goods may turn into a political wave."
"I am in charge of this case, and I will interrogate it impartially. I will not take your favor into consideration."
"Because of our friendship, you won't use Jin Yiwei's dirty tricks to deal with me."
"It's a dead end."
"But what if the case is not my trial?"
Although Wang Shouren has just entered the officialdom, he is as cunning as a 30-year-old Beijing official.
He is well aware of the current situation.
Now he is caught between the civil servants and Jin Yiwei.
The civil servant regarded him as a knife most suitable for attacking Chang Feng.
If he helps Jin Yiwei for personal gain, the civil officials will regard him as a traitor.Then his future will be ruined.More importantly, favoritism would go against his conscience.
If you don't help Jin Yiwei, you will put your friend Chang Feng at a disadvantage.
What he said just now was a trick for Chang Feng: You think of a way to replace me and let someone else try this case, won't it be over?
If someone else tried the case, you Jin Yiwei have plenty of ways to make the presiding officer compromise.
Chang Feng understood, and he sighed: "Great! You are indeed the emperor's favorite person. No wonder I returned my name to Luosun Shan, and you can rank sixth in the top two."
Wang Shouren got up, and smiled slightly: "Who is smart or not. I didn't say anything. Brother Chang, I'm done with the tea. I'll go back to the Ministry of Punishments first."
After Wang Shouren left, Qian Ning entered the value room: "Master Chang, is he willing to help us?"
Chang Feng laughed and said, "If he helps us, he won't be Wang Shouren."
Qian Ning frowned: "This bastard who doesn't miss old love"
But Chang Feng waved his hand: "He is my best friend and will always be. Don't speak ill of Wang Shouren in front of me from now on."
Chan Ning asked, "Then what should we do now?"
Chang Feng said: "I want to go to the palace."
Inside the main hall of Qianqing Palace.
Emperor Hongzhi was reviewing the memorial.Xiao Jing reported: "Your Majesty, Changfeng asks to see you."
Emperor Hongzhi thought that Chang Feng was going to report some important confidential matter: "Xuan."
Not long after, Chang Feng came in and saluted Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi asked, "What's the matter?"
Chang Feng said: "My Majesty, yesterday morning, you issued an order to expand the mausoleum of Duke Xiangmin, Wang Yue. But you didn't appoint a special person."
"The reason why I entered the palace today is to recommend someone to be in charge of the expansion project of Duke Xiangmin's mausoleum."
Wang Yue's bones were buried in the northwest.But there is a clothes tomb in Beijing.
Only when a person dies does he know his goodness.
The two speech officials who attacked Wang Yue before asked Emperor Hongzhi to expand Wang Yue's tomb yesterday morning.Emperor Hongzhi readily agreed immediately.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Chang Feng, when you enter the palace and ask me to summon you, all the reports are big matters. Why did you report a small matter this time?"
Chang Feng immediately possessed his body, and said with tears in his eyes: "I report to the emperor. I followed Xiangmin Gong to carry the coffin to the west, and I have great admiration for Xiangmin Gong."
"After the death of Duke Xiangmin, his voice and smile appeared in front of my eyes from time to time."
"Expanding the mausoleum of Duke Xiangmin may be a small matter for the court, but it is a big event for the officials."
"That's why I specially went to the palace for this matter, recommending candidates for the expansion project of the mausoleum."
Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Why do you recommend Wang Shouren?"
Chang Feng had already thought about the reasonable reasons for recommending Wang Shouren.
Chang Feng said: "Report to the emperor. Wang Shouren had published "Annbei Frontier Affairs Policy" before. Ma Laobutang of the Ministry of Officials praised him for his qualifications as Duke Xiangmin."
"Duke Xiangmin has devoted all his life to the northwest. Sending Wang Shouren to help him expand the mausoleum is to comfort the spirit of Duke Xiangmin in heaven—his old man has successors!"
"I suggest that Wang Shouren burn the copy of "An Northwest Frontier Affairs Policy" to Xiangmin Gong before the expansion project starts."
"Xiangmin Gongquan has knowledge, and he will be gratified that the court has produced a talent who understands military affairs in the Northwest."
Changfeng's tongue shines like a lotus flower, and the reason is impeccable.
Emperor Hongzhi was moved by Chang Fengfeng's sincere words.
He said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes. It's perfect to assign Wang Shouren to take charge of this matter! Why didn't I think of it before. Thanks for reminding me."
"Play as you please!"
According to historical records: "In the 12th year of Hongzhi, at the end of spring, the emperor sent Shou Rendu to expand the tomb of Wei Ningbo".
Wang Shouren escaped from the confrontation between Jin Yiwei and the civil officials.
Min Gui had no choice but to choose a confidant named Wailang to hear the case.
The surname of this member is Yang.
The chief interrogator is not Chang Feng's close friend, so he can play tricks without any scruples.
Daming's officials rarely have clean ones under their buttocks.
The only difference is whether the official's ass is a pile of shit or a cesspit.
Chang Feng found an illegal affair in Yang Yuanwai's secret files.
In the fifth year of Hongzhi, when he was a county magistrate in Beizhili, he had been involved in corruption and selling.
Chang Feng threatened this matter.
Either help Jin Yiwei.You just offended Min Gui.The big deal is that you are not allowed to be promoted while Min Gui is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment.
Don't help Jin Yiwei?Excuse me.Corruption and selling will result in dismissal and questioning.You will change from a court official to a prisoner.
Yang Yuanwai was not stupid, so he had to compromise.
Yongni became passing by when the thieves were selling the stolen goods, and was mistakenly arrested by the Supervision Department of the Criminal Ministry.Acquitted.
Chang Feng said "magnanimously": Jin Yiwei and the Criminal Department are a family.Jin Yiwei will not pursue the matter of arresting Yongni by mistake.
Min Gui had already connected Yushi Qingliu and Beijing Chinese officials in tandem, ready to set off a political tide.
But in the end, he still hadn't fought Jin Yiwei's Chang Butcher, so he could only die in the end.
Compassion does not control soldiers, righteousness does not support wealth.
Although the Ministry of punishment did not convict Yongni.Chang Feng did not spare him lightly.
In front of more than 100 Tujia people in Weizhong, Chang Feng cut off three fingers of Yongni as a warning.
The one who profited the most from this small turmoil was actually Wang Shouren.
Supervising and expanding the mausoleum of the No. 1 general of Chenghua Dynasty was entrusted with an important task for a new Jinshi.
Wang Shouren's official career seems to be bright, but it seems
