Mingshi

Chapter 1002
Xu Jie thought about it all night, and in the end he really came up with a solution, which was Hu Zongxian's dereliction of duty.

If Hu Zongxian can wipe out the pirates, none of this will be a problem, the tariff will not be less than a copper coin, and the Xu family will also make a lot of money.

Therefore, the next day, he began to summon his imperial envoys and asked them to go back and write a memorial to impeach Hu Zongxian.

On the next day.

The memorials to impeach Hu Zongxian were sent to the cabinet in flakes, and the Xu family took these memorials to meet Emperor Jiajing.

cabinet.

Gao Gong looked at Xu Jie's back and frowned tightly.

As far as this high arch is concerned, he still has ability, and being an official can be regarded as clean.However, his current flaws are also obvious, he doesn't have many eyes and ears, and he is not well-informed enough.Although I have some understanding of the affairs of the Shipping Department in Southeast City, but I only understand the tip of the iceberg.Therefore, he suddenly saw so many impeachment papers about Hu Zongxian, which is really a bit inexplicable.Depressedly, he asked people to inquire about the news. He sat in the cabinet and waited for the news.

However, he didn't wait long, and Shuntian Fu Yin came in a hurry.With a perplexed look on his face, he held a stack of papers in his hand.When Gao Gong looked at the papers, his eyes lit up, and he asked hastily:

"The identities of those people are true?"

"It's true!" Shuntian Fu Yin is Gao Gong's person. After receiving these pleadings today, his eyes lit up. This directly caught Xu Jie. With these pleadings, he must be He will be promoted, so he immediately asked the yamen servants to protect those who complained, and rushed to find Gao Gong.

Gao Gong was overjoyed when he heard that, he grabbed the stack of papers and said, "Come on, follow me to meet you."

Shuntian Fuyin was overjoyed, seeing Gao Gong's surprised expression, his merit should be quite a lot.It's just that his vision is not so high, and he doesn't think so far. He just thinks that this has caught Xu Jie, but this handle is obviously impossible to pull Xu Jie. Why is Gao Gong so surprised?
Following Gao Gong on the way to Yuxi Palace, seeing Gao Gong happy, Shuntian Fu Yin said:
"Old Gao Ge, I'm afraid this matter is harmless to Xu Jie, right? At most, he will be reprimanded by His Majesty."

"What do you know?" Gao Gong scolded in a low voice: "This is not simple corruption, nor is it simple bullying to dominate the market. This will affect the tariffs of the Shibo Department. Just imagine, the Xu family can use a trick to steal, But is it possible to continue to plunder like this? Without the object of plundering, they will have no source of goods. Without the source of goods, they will not be able to trade with the merchants of the vassal state. Without tariffs, what will Daming be like, think about it for yourself? What attitude will His Majesty have, think about it for yourself?"

Shuntian Fu Yin was stunned, Gao Gong patted him on the shoulder and said: "You have to think more about it in the future, otherwise how can you be suitable for a higher position!"

"A higher position..." Shuntian Fu Yin was ecstatic in his heart: "Am I going to be promoted?"

He laughed from ear to ear all the way, until he came outside Yuxi Palace, Gao Gong asked him to wait outside, and he went in alone to meet Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing's health was still not good, and he was sitting on a chair with a tired face, listening to what Xu Jie said.Listening to Xu Jie's impeachment of Hu Zongxian, Emperor Jiajing's eyes showed coldness, and at the same time, there was a faint look of anger.

He is indeed angry.

Anger [-]: He gave Xu Jie the position of chief assistant in the cabinet, but Xu Jie allowed his son to plunder, break the rules, and make the Shibo Secretary a mess.

Anger [-]: Hu Zongxian is extremely useless, if Hu Zongxian can wipe out those pirates, there will not be so much trouble.

Yes!

It's trouble!

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, these are all troubles. If Hu Zongxian can defeat the pirates, he will not care about whether the Xu family has been corrupted or not, as long as the tariffs can be collected for him.

So his greatest anger is that these troubles finally found him and let him solve them!

If everything is left to him, the emperor, what do these ministers do?
Why did you promote you, Xu Jie, as the chief assistant of the cabinet?
Co-author Xu Jie can only cause trouble, but not solve it?

Then what do I need you for?

Do you really think I don't know anything?Impeach Hu Zongxian to fool me?
And at this time, a eunuch reported and asked Gao Gong to see him.Hearing that Gao Gong begged for an audience, Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat. Emperor Jiajing glanced at Xu Jie indifferently, and then said:
"Xuan!"

Gao Gong walked into Yuxi Palace, and saluted Emperor Jiajing: "Chen, Gao Gong, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"No!" Gao Gong said lightly, "What's the matter?"

"Look at this, Your Majesty."

Huang Jin stepped forward to take the pleading papers and put them on Emperor Jiajing's imperial book case.Emperor Jiajing picked up the pleading papers and looked at them one by one. He became more and more angry in his heart, and finally threw the pleading papers towards Xu Jie, shouting:
"See for yourself!"

Xu Jie was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, picked up the papers and looked at them one by one. The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.Heart transfer:
"These people actually ran from the southeast to the capital to sue, and there were quite a few of them. Anyone who was plundered by the Xu family, as long as there was a living, came.

How can this be?

Where did these people get the money to come to the capital?

Someone must have secretly organized and sent them to the capital.who is it?Could it be the high arch?Probably.

But what do I do now? "

"This is the chief minister of the cabinet that I have chosen, hehe..." Emperor Jiajing sneered.

"I'm guilty!" Xu Jie threw himself to the ground.

Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie coldly, feeling inexplicably irritated.He really wanted to remove Xu Jie, but it was easy to remove Xu Jie, but there was no suitable person to replace him.Otherwise, let Gao Gong's family dominate, and with Gao Gong's temperament, he will continue to trouble Emperor Jiajing. This is not the result that Emperor Jiajing wanted.Taking a deep breath, he said:
"This matter was caused by your Xu family, tell me, how to solve it?"

"The minister must try to solve it as soon as possible."

"How to deal with it?"

"minister……"

Xu Jie stammered and couldn't come up with an idea. If he had an idea, why bother to impeach Hu Zongxian?

"Xuan Liu Shouyou!" Emperor Jiajing shouted in a concentrated voice.

Xu Jie's heart trembled, Emperor Jiajing didn't ask Jin Yiwei to arrest him, did he?

Just when his heart was trembling with fear, Liu Shouyou came in.Emperor Jiajing said coldly:
"Liu Shouyou, what's the matter with the Shibo Department? You Jinyiwei should have similar information?"

"Return to Your Majesty!" Liu Shouyou said calmly, "After Zhang Juzheng and Xu Shixing went to the southeast, under Xu Shixing's strict adherence to the rules, everything was running smoothly."
