Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Chapter 77 The case is complicated and the Ministry of Industry selects talents

What a mess!

It’s all a mess!

It's all chaos!

The eunuch Huai En, the chief eunuch of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, was poisoned and killed in the prison of Fusi in Beizhen. The person who bore the heavy responsibility was naturally Zhu Ji, the commander of the Jinyiwei in charge of Fusi in Beizhen, and the biggest suspect turned out to be the British prince Zhang Mao.

In terms of motives, Xu Pu, who has a close relationship with Wynn, has a major motive for committing the crime.

At this point, civil servants, internal supervisors, Wu Xun and Jin Yiwei are all involved, and this will become a major case that will shock the whole country.

When Zhu Ji saw Huaien's death, his face turned pale. He looked at the table of sumptuous meals and said angrily: "Where did these meals come from?"

"This...this table of food was ordered by Cheng Baihu to send someone to the Four Seasons Restaurant!" The cell leader knew that he was in doom, so he reported the truth.

Zhu Ji frowned slightly, then confirmed: "Cheng Si?"

"I despise my duty, please punish me!" Cheng Si knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he stood up and admitted his mistake.

Seeing that this second-generation official had caused such a big disaster, Zhu Ji wanted to step forward and give him a hard kick, but thinking that his position might be in jeopardy, he suppressed the anger in his chest and said, "Mu Bin, you can do it right away. Take people to seize the Four Seasons Restaurant!"

"Zhu Ji, I'm afraid it's hard to seal up the Four Seasons Restaurant!" Chen Huan, the Marquis of Taining, who had been watching from next door, said as he dug out earwax with his little finger.

Zhu Ji knew that these native martial artists were well-informed, so he asked doubtfully: "Why?"

"That's the property of the Zhang family!" Gu Pu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, rushed to answer.

Zhu Ji quickly screened officials named Zhang from the cabinet to the six ministries, and immediately asked in confusion: "Which Zhang family?"

"Zhang Siqing!" Chen Huan, the Marquis of Taining, blew off the earwax between his fingernails and gave the answer directly.

Zhu Ji snorted with disdain, but soon he was astonished and said: "Humph! For a small minister, why don't I dare... Zhang Luan?"

"Exactly!" Taining Marquis Chen Huan smiled brightly.

The minister of Honglu Temple is naturally not worth mentioning, but Zhang Siqing is the father of the Crown Princess. He will be canonized as the queen when the Yuan Dynasty is officially changed next year, and will soon become the father-in-law of the Ming Dynasty.

The onlookers watching the development of the situation couldn't help but secretly complained: "What the hell is this? A case involved all the powerful people at the time."

Mou Bin has now been demoted to the rank of Jinyi Baihu, but he turned to look at Zhu Ji and asked: "What should we do now?"

"Of course we have to seal down the Four Seasons Restaurant, but you should be more polite to people!" Zhu Ji thought for a while and then made a decision.

He can no longer care about so much. Although the case was caused by Cheng Minzheng's son's negligence, he is really responsible, and the culprit behind this case must be found out as soon as possible.

Especially last night, Wynn was almost strangled to death in the cell, but it has not yet been found out, and now he was poisoned by someone. No matter what, he must give a satisfactory explanation to His Majesty.

"Master Zhu, please hand over Huai'en to the Zajia family. Your Majesty wants to see Huai'en!" A eunuch from Dongchang came to find Zhu Ji and said very arrogantly.

Zhu Ji originally thought of hiding it first, exposing the murderer and then reporting it to the superiors, but he never expected that His Majesty would actually send someone to ask for him, and suddenly there were two people.

"Lord Zhu, why can't you follow Zhou Lie's example and resist the imperial decree?" The eunuch of Dongchang asked with dissatisfaction when he saw Zhu Ji was indifferent.

Zhu Ji saw that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he could only tell the truth.

Wynn did not die on the rope of the murderer last night, but was poisoned by the traitor. The most suspected persons were the British Duke Zhang Mao and the Honglu Temple Qing Zhang Luan.

Forbidden City, square in front of Huagai Hall.

Since the last time the talent selection through examination achieved remarkable results, Zhu Youtang has extended this talent selection method to the other five departments, and the Ministry of Industry is the last yamen.

It's not that the yamen of the Ministry of Industry is unimportant, on the contrary, it's that the Ministry of Industry is valued by Zhu Youtang, so he was very cautious in setting the questions and postponed the exam until today.

The Ministry of Industry has one Shangshu and two ministers, and four Qing officials divisions including Yingxi, Yuheng, Dushui, and Tuntian. Each division has one Langzhong, one Yuanwailang, and two people in charge.

Shangshu is in charge of all officials in the world and the political orders of mountains and rivers. The Secretary of Camp and Repairs is in charge of business operations; Yu Heng is in charge of harvesting and cultivating things in the mountains; the Secretary of Dushui is in charge of rivers and lakes, ponds, bridges, boats and carts, weaving, deeds, and weights and measures; and the Secretary of Farming is in charge of Things like planting crops, drawing points, fuel charcoal, labor, and tombs.

"I bow before your majesty, long live my emperor!" Jia Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Works, led a group of officials from the Ministry of Works into the hall and knelt down in a respectful manner.

If I had heard all the rumors about the new king when he was the crown prince, I might have been scornful of this new king who was kind but not powerful. However, after the incident of seizing the throne, I only have a deep heart for this vigorous and resolute new king. of awe.

Especially the beautiful wave of killings yesterday. Now that the military power of the Beijing camp has been firmly controlled by this new king, all the ghosts and snake gods may have to tuck their tails between their legs.

Zhu Youtang, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the group of respectful officials from the Ministry of Industry with great satisfaction, and asked the leader Jia Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, calmly: "Master Jia, have you ever managed the river?"

"Although I have never managed the river, if Your Majesty orders me, I will go through fire and water!" Jia Jun's old face straightened up, and he immediately expressed his stance with righteousness.

Although he is over sixty years old this year, he is an old brick of the Ming Dynasty. As long as the emperor was in need, he would have to take on this task and take charge of river management.

Chen Zheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and other officials couldn't help but roll their eyes. This old guy kept coughing every day, as if he had tuberculosis. It seemed that he secretly ate century-old ginseng just now to prevent him from coughing here. Fortunately, he still had the nerve to slap a swollen face here to make him look fat.

Zhu Youtang naturally would not use an old man with no experience in river management to take charge of river management, so he looked at the officials present and asked: "My dear friends, are you willing to go through fire and water to control the river for me like Mr. Jia knows this?" man of!"

"I am willing to go through fire and water to control the river for Your Majesty!" Chen Zheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and other officials' eyes lit up slightly, and they hurriedly expressed their loyalty.

Zhu Youtang knew that there was no shortage of people who would be loyal to him for his position, so he turned to look at Jia Jun and said: "Master Jia, you are originally from Juren, so you know that among the two Jiuqing Tingtui, I still choose you. Minister of the Ministry of Industry?"

The officials were stunned for a moment, then looked up at Emperor Hongzhi in shock.

I originally thought that Jia Jun could be appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry because he hugged Liu Ji's thigh, but I didn't expect that it was His Majesty who chose Jia Jun.

Last time, Jiuqing Tingpu's Minister of Industry submitted two lists. The first choice was naturally Jia Jun, who was born in Juren. However, although Hu Gongchen, the second minister of the Ministry of Industry of Beijing, was an orthodox Jinshi for four years, he was already seventy years old. Two.

Although His Majesty does not seem to have many choices, judging from the courage shown by His Majesty now, it is impossible for His Majesty to be completely dominated by Jiu Qing Ting Tui in terms of employment, but has always had his own ideas for employment.

Now Jia Jun is able to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Of course, it is because Liu Ji, the second assistant, is working behind the scenes, and Jia Jun has formed a friendship with Zhang Luan while studying together in the Imperial College, but most importantly, he is fortunate to be appointed by His Majesty.

Jia Jun always thought that it was all Liu Ji's fault, and couldn't help but secretly said in fear: "I don't know, but I am willing to die for Your Majesty, no matter what!"

"The reason why I appoint you as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is because I want to tell the Ministry of Industry and the people of the world: I do not look at the person's background or position, but only based on the person's virtue and ability!" Zhu Youtang Naturally, there was no need to disturb Jia Jun, but he was scolding the officials from the Ministry of Works who were present.

He was not concerned about why Jia Jun became the first choice for Minister of Industry. Since he was not familiar with this person, he would not easily go to someone else.

It’s just that he needs to push for reforms next. Regardless of whether Jia Jun rose to the position because of his virtue or because of his work, since this person has never proven himself with merit, and he has no experience in river management, it is naturally impossible for him to really reuse him.

However, after all, Jia Jun was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to win the title of Six Ministers with the title of Juren. Since Jiuqing Tingtui promoted Jia Jun, he simply used this person to buy his bones with a thousand pieces of gold.

At the end of each dynasty, the officials below suddenly "rotten" collectively, largely because the upward path in the officialdom has been blocked.

For example, once an honest magistrate knows that he is still a magistrate after working for decades, he will no longer be able to serve the public, but will use his power to seek rent and rent.

Chen Zheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, and other officials seemed to have taken stimulants, and immediately expressed their opinions: "I am willing to serve your majesty till my death!"

"Today I am assessing your officials from the Ministry of Industry. I need to find an official among you who really knows how to control water to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Regardless of his fame or official position, I need him to be able to manage rivers for the Ming Dynasty. I just want to put my words aside. Here, my Ministry of Industry will not foster mediocre people. If your assessment results disappoint me, then don’t blame me for taking your top job!" Zhu Youtang no longer needs to "pretend to be a pig" and appears sonorous and powerful. made a speech.
