Dao fruit.

"What is this Qiu Yan doing? If he scribbles on those files and leaves any hidden dangers, there will inevitably be trouble."

Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan glanced at each other, and they both had the thought to stop them. They moved out the dossier to embarrass Qiu Yan and force him to back down, not because they really didn't care.

These two people, before Qiu Yan's arrival, were intriguing and fighting each other for Du Chengzhi's seat. Now that Qiu Yan came, the two immediately reconciled as before and formed an alliance to take Qiu Yan out of the picture.

In the final analysis, it is still for the sake of power and interests, and there is no constant friend or foe.

However, the reason why they dared to act like this was because of their background on the one hand, and Wang Jing's order on the other.

At the time of the reform, the national war broke out again. This is a situation of great change and a world of great contention. Anyone who has connections, there is no one who does not want to fight, and Wang Jing is no exception. cronies.

The person's preference for Zhang Hai originated from this place, thinking of killing two birds with one stone, but unexpectedly, because of a little idea of ​​the emperor, a person was inserted into his life.

If it was changed to other times and other people, Wang Jing would dismiss the appointment on the grounds that the emperor had messed up his name. After all, the appointment of an official position is not something that the emperor can easily decide. Will Qiu Yan be hated because of this, but I can't think too much about it. It's hard to have both in the world, and you can't have both.

However, Qiu Yan came back with the momentum of a great victory. He already had military capabilities, and it was logical to enter the West Mansion. There are checks and balances for the officials to intervene, and the corresponding departments have the right to make suggestions, but not the right to make decisions. Otherwise, what would Shangguan and the emperor do?Moreover.There is also the censor watching.

However, the top cannot be changed, but the bottom can be changed, through hints and acquiescence.Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan knew what Wang Jing was thinking.That's why he acted like this, for himself.It's also good for voters.

But they still have a sense of proportion, they will not really fight for personal rights, ignore the major affairs of the country, and they have a little bottom line in their hearts.It's not for the country, it's just for self-protection, muddling along and cutting corners is a situation. If the arrangement is really messed up, there will still be trouble.

Now seeing Qiu Yan's actions, he felt a little worried, and immediately winked at each of his confidantes.

Chen Ju and several other officials understood.He took a step forward and was about to speak, but Qiu Yan raised his head ahead of time and glanced at several people.Frowning slightly: "The number of carriages and horses is wrong. There seems to be something wrong with the sixth batch of supplies from the North and South Warehouses in Zuozang to the three armies in northern Xinjiang. Does the Secretary have an account book, and show it to me!"

When he said in such a deep voice, Chen Ju and the others felt their hearts tremble, and they were shocked. After they reacted, they realized that the matter inside was of great importance, and cold sweat broke out.

"He really understands it! No, even if he understands it, it is impossible to find out the problem in a short period of time. The entry and exit matters have been polished, and there is no experience in entering and exiting the warehouse for several years. Can it be found out? Even if I went to see it, there is no record, and I can’t tell it by just comparing it silently in my heart!” Thinking about it, Chen Ju was even more terrified.

It turned out that there was a deficit in this file.

This is also a normal thing. To act in the officialdom, each term will leave financial loopholes, and the next term will consciously balance the account to accumulate.

As for where the deficit goes, there are many uses, so there is no need to go into details.

However, Chen Ju was startled, and bit the bullet and said: "The Ministry of War is mainly responsible for these matters, and we have no account books here."

Qiu Yan said without raising his head: "It was said before that there was a shortage of manpower and the work fell to this department, but now it is said that the account books are still in the Ministry of War. Do you really think Qiu is easy to fool?"

"My lord, I'm afraid you still don't know the authority of the Ministry of War..." At this time, Qi Jinchan saw a trick, knowing that Qiu Yan had found a breakthrough.

He was also surprised at this point. Unlike Zhang Hai, although Qi Jinchan also has a backer, he still has some experience in the affairs of the Chengzhi Division. He knows how difficult it is to see a deficit through the documents and files. If Qiu Yan was just empty talk, he would inevitably think it was blackmail. After all, the officialdom has been short-lived since ancient times. Which yamen dare to say that there is no problem at all?

It's just that he opened his mouth and said, "Zuozang, the South and the North Treasury, went to the three armies in the northern Xinjiang", and looking at Chen Ju's appearance, he didn't seem to be fake. This changed his view of Qiu Yan a lot.

But the arrow had to be fired, and Qi Jinchan had to use words to evade it. Presumably Qiu Yan was extremely knowledgeable and capable, but he might not be clear about the structure of the court.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were uttered, Qiu Yan replied: "I am in the military affairs of Darui, and I am divided into three departments. There are the Privy Council, the Sanya, and the Ministry of War. The Privy Council is in charge of decision-making, and the Sanya is in charge of financial arrangements and transfers. The staff doctor of the Ministry of War is in charge of the map and its progress, the doctor of the driving department is in charge of chariots and horses, and the doctor of the library department is in charge of weapons and equipment. Although these things belong to the Ministry of War, they cannot be archived in the Privy Council. If you don’t want to take them out , that's all..."

After saying such words, he knew the structure of the imperial court very well, and was more organized than Liu Hai and Qi Jinchan, which immediately made the two of them turn pale with shock and secretly exclaimed that something was wrong.

On the opposite side, Qiu Yan had already stopped what he was doing, glanced at everyone, pushed the dossier, and said, "I made a note on the above, and just send it to the Ministry of War. There are a few deficiencies in it, and there are still problems after all, but the National War In the lead, it is inconvenient to mess up the situation, you might as well stop it first, but don't expect Qiu to let it go..."

Hearing what he said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then realized the meaning of the words. Chen Ju and others were startled at first, stepped forward to look, flipped through the file, and found that there were instructions and notes next to each record, There are also many linkages, through annotations, the records of several places are combined together.

Looking at it this way, anyone who is literate and clear-headed can clearly understand the key points, act according to the text, and save a lot of tedious work, but the deficit is also clear at a glance. Even if there is no account book, it is still difficult to cover up the specific amount. !

"This……"

In Chen Ju's hand, he already had a general rule, which he memorized in his heart. In contrast, after looking through Qiu Yan's annotation several times, it turned out to be exactly the same!In some places there are still more than that!

"How is this possible...how is this possible..."

After looking at it for a long time, he was already sweating through his clothes, and so were the others.

They were amazed by the accuracy of Qiu Yan's annotations, and also shocked and even horrified by Qiu Yan's professionalism and efficiency, but what they were really afraid of was what would happen if the deficit was exposed!

When these documents were brought over, they had no good intentions at all, and they carried the weight of four or five days at once, in order to make Qiu Yan retreat. Because of this, Zhang Hai and others were not afraid of really delaying the important affairs of the court. He didn't make too many embellishments, it was a temporary idea, and he didn't think Qiu Yan could see anything.

However, he never expected that it would take seven or eight officials and it would take four to five days to process the dossier, which was already processed in the hands of Qiu Yan, who could barely speak!

Judging from the expressions of Chen Ju and others, even a bureaucrat like Zhang Hai, who only knows how to instigate and command others, is aware of the seriousness of the problem. Called, asked a few words, complexion suddenly changed.

"Marked all the deficits? This is a big taboo in the officialdom!" Hearing the key point, Zhang Hai couldn't help expressing his thoughts, and then thought that Qiu Yan was not experienced enough in the officialdom and wanted to start a big case. Not only will Qiu Yan be unlucky, but he, who is also in the same department, will also be affected.

"The act of losing money has existed since ancient times, and it has become a common practice, but what is tacitly accepted by the officialdom, the rules that everyone tacitly approves, may not be right." At this time, Qiu Yan got up and walked to Zhang Hai, saying Such a speech.

"You..." Chewing on the meaning of the words, Zhang Hai was startled, smelling a bloody smell, but still made a sneer expression, "Master, do you want to fight against the unspoken rules of the officialdom? I advise you not to do this, even if You are a great master and great Confucianist, but you only have one life, and this class of behavior will inevitably be attacked by groups! Don't mistake yourself! You are already an official in the capital, and you will be an official in an honest manner. You will have a stable life, but if you make too much trouble, the emperor will not be able to protect you You, maybe you will be sent to another place."

"That's right," Qi Jinchan also came over and said, "The prestige is as strong as that of a horse, and when you also have a side, you have to restrain your mind and write a book to express your ambition."

"It's not a bad thing to enter the local government because of this," Qiu Yan just smiled, "I have some experience of how the capital officials are, and when I go to the Privy Council, I can also have the understanding of the central officials. This step is here."

The sincerity of the words made Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan stunned for a moment, thinking that Qiu Yan was pretending to speak, but the expression did not seem to be pretending, of course they didn't know about the three bodies.

Just when the few people were in doubt, Qiu Yan walked towards the outside of the si yamen, and when he reached the door, he turned his head and said, "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you come over? Didn't you say that you are going to meet the Shangguan?" For Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan.

The two were stunned for a moment, and before they could respond, an official came over from outside the door, saw Qiu Yan from a distance, and said that Wang Jing was returning to the courtyard and was about to see him.

"Exactly, I also have something to say to the privy envoy, lead the way." Qiu Yan nodded and followed the trend.

On the gate of the si yamen, a few wisps of luck futons hung down and landed on his body, and on the other side of the Lingtai, it became clearer and fainter.

Zhang Hai and Qi Jinchan were shocked, when did Wang Jing come back, and they didn't even return their eyeliner, how did Qiu Yan know?

In this way, they thought of the rumor that Qiu Yan had supernatural powers. This rumor is no longer a secret in the hearts of some first-, second- and third-rank court officials, but it is not yet known to the officials of various ministries and commissions. How much confirmation is obtained? After all, the status is different, and the news channels are different. To confirm the rumors, the time spent is also different.

"Is it true?"

With this in mind, the two quickly followed.

In the hall of the Si Ya, Chen Ju and others are left.

Chen Ju looked at Qiu Yanyuan's back, and then at the well-handled file, feeling something bad in his heart.

"Maybe I made a wrong bet this time!"
