The Red Mansions

Chapter 160

Chapter 160

In front of the gate of the Daming Palace——

As soon as Yang Guochang's words fell, Emperor Chongping's face moved slightly, and he cast a pair of majestic eyes on Han Huang.

Han Huang had plastic surgery and changed his color, holding an ivory jade wat and said: "I think the first thing is the banditry in Dongcheng, how to stop it? As far as I know, the Dongcheng gang has occupied the Shenjing area for seven or eight years, and it has gradually become a chronic disease. Although the Holy Majesty had previously selected Elder Hege to investigate the matter, I thought that because of the generosity of Elder Hege, it would be difficult to cure the root cause. The so-called Qingfu is not dead, and Lu disaster is not over. If you don't kill this generation, I think Dongcheng The banditry will continue to come and go, and it will continue!"

These words are in line with what Jia Heng said earlier, to punish his generation for the sake of the great man.

As soon as Han Huang's words came out, all Ke Dao officials agreed.

Jia Heng's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Han Huang.

He thought to himself, this Han Shoufu couldn't help but make a move, his methods were soft and treacherous, moistening things silently.

There is almost no chance for Mr. He Ge to make up for it, so now no one pays attention to Mr. He Ge's mistakes, and after the incident, it must be the Imperial Academy, full of bullets and debates.

You are a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, enjoying a clear reputation in the world, and your candidate for the exam was beaten and maimed by a green-skinned rogue, do you still have the face to sit in the cabinet and give orders?

This cabinet minister probably won't last long.

But he didn't directly target He Juncheng, or even directly contradicted Emperor Chongping. Instead, he was indirect and tactful, worrying about the country and the people.

Even the pattern has become a bit bigger, the banditry in the east city should be wiped out, and we should seek a solution to the root cause!

Si Yan, how upright and upright!

This fell into the ears of Emperor Chongping, even if he thought that Han Huang Xiangzhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong, he couldn't say anything.

And in the eyes of all the officials, they are more loyal to the country, with true knowledge and insights.

The most important thing is that it is not like the Kodao spokesperson who directly pulls an old man into the water, which simply does not give the emperor time to think about it.

The emperor didn't even think about asking someone to replace the cabinet and balance the court.

But Han Huang gave a buffer time for the emperor to think about how to balance the court situation again, and at the same time gave him time to hold his position and praise others.

This is the work of the cabinet minister!

Selfishness is hidden in the public heart, and the thunder is heard in the silent place.

Undoubtedly, most of them can shake Emperor Chongping's mentality of "maintaining the status quo".

Just now, Emperor Chongping first praised him, then blamed himself, and appeased Fan Yi. After a circle, the official censor's anger has actually been reduced by [-] to [-]%.

But this [-]% to [-]% anger is enough to help Han Huang squeeze out a cabinet scholar.

Yang Guochang's eyebrows fluttered, his heart was heavy, and he cupped his hands and said, "I don't agree with what the old Han Ge said. A cabinet minister who is in charge of the Ministry of Rites went to investigate in person. Why can't we get to the bottom of the matter and carefully examine the evil?"

Han Huang's face remained unchanged and he did not speak.

Because this statement is not worth refuting, someone else will refute it on his behalf.

Sure enough, someone spoke, Zhou Guozhen, the censor of Hunan Dao, came out of the class to play, and said: "Wei Chen, Zhou Guozhen, the censor of Huguang Dao, has heard about it since he died. He Ge is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He respects morality and enlightens the world. Evil doesn't stop for a day, those people are afraid of prestige and don't care about virtue, trampling on the law of the great man like nothing! I thought that Mr. He Ge didn't know before, how to get to the bottom of it? The predecessors said that faith and righteousness are in the gentleman, but Punishment is imposed on villains, now, when you add an ax and ax to your generation, the power of punishment will deter, and return Shenjing to a bright future!"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials of Ke Dao all expressed their approval and came out to express their support:

"My minister agrees!"

"If you don't get rid of the banditry in the East City, there will be more and more vicious things!"

"My minister agrees!"

"Seconded!"

……

……

Yushi Kedao, all of them came out to play, thinking that Mr. He Ge should not preside over the case again.

Yang Guochang's expression was indifferent, he said nothing, and a gloomy flashed in the depths of his eyes.

If He Juncheng can't keep it going, Qi Dang will lose an arm!

Once He Juncheng left, he lost one of his allies in the cabinet, and now he had to consider in advance who would replace him in the cabinet, so as to balance Han Shaoxing's pressing step by step.

Emperor Chongping looked silent, took a deep look at Han Huang, and pondered: "Since He Qing is not suitable to preside over this case, who should preside over it? Han Qing is a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, do you have anyone to recommend?"

Facing everyone's gaze, Han Huang's expression became solemn, and he cupped his hands and said, "I think Jing Zhao Yin Xu Lu can be the presiding judge, and then he will be assisted by a Wu Xun to mobilize the Jingying army and the five city soldiers and horse commanders. The banditry in the east city is infested, and Jia Ziyu is the general of Yunhui. Whether it is the case of Fan Yi being beaten and mutilated, or the case of the five-city soldier Ma Si being ambushed and murdered, we all know the reasons for the details. The presiding judge, with the assistance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, can be admitted and cured to the effect of people!"

The root cause of the problem lies in winning people, and winning people lies in trial.

When Emperor Chongping heard the words, his majestic and contemplative face seemed to be thinking about Han Huang's words.

Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Road, also came out to play and said: "Chen Duan, the censor of Jiangnan Road, has never heard of it. Yunhui General Jia Heng is upright and upright, and his virtuous name spreads far and wide. He was brave, loyal, calm and calmed the banditry, and I thought that the words of Han University scholar were sincere and insightful."

Xu Kai, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, clasped his hands and said: "Xu Kai, the minister of the Imperial Academy, played the play. Jia Ziyu went straight to the inside and outside, and made dangerous words and deeds. With his assistance, it should be able to clear up the troubles in the East City."

Just now, whether Jia Heng is Faden Wengu or reprimanding Liang Shilang, it shows that he is not afraid of the rich and powerful, and he is upright and upright.

"The Minister and Punishment Division seconded the matter to Tang Huailiang."

"Chen Gongke seconded the matter to Zhu Yuanmao."

"Ministry of Ministers and Punishments' Department of Cleaning Officials, Ruan Chang, seconded the proposal..."

"Shen Qi, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, seconded the proposal."

Obviously, the minister-level officials have also ended.

"Shangshu Zhao Mo seconded the proposal."

In the end, even officials at the Shangshu level went down to second.

Hearing the voices of second opinion, Yang Guochang's complexion became more and more ugly. He raised his old face and stared at the young dignitary in the flying fish suit, the dark color in his eyes became more intense.

"This son...is the source of the chaos."

Jia Heng listened to the praise and second opinion of the people around him, his face was expressionless, but he was thinking about Han Huang in his heart.

First, there is no doubt that the words of just now are still selling the emperor. After all, he went to He Juncheng and Xu Lu presided over the trial. What does this mean?It has to be reminiscent.

Did he lift Xu Lu to the position of cabinet minister?

The replacement of cabinet ministers still has to be pushed by the court after all. The emperor can't do it arbitrarily, and still needs to balance power.

Second, to show him favor, since he prosecuted the matter, it is logical for him to lead the matter, and it is exactly what he wants.

Third, needless to say, it is to attack the power of the chief ministerial line of the cabinet. When the dust settles, or even before it settles, the second minister will use his own line of officials to replace the cabinet members.

The bureaucrats of the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been able to gain momentum since then.

Ok?

Jia Heng was startled, he seemed to have heard the name of Zhao Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment just now?

Glancing from the corner of the eye, Han Huang was next to Zhao Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who was wearing black black gauze and golden pheasant patch.

So, Zhao Mo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, is Han Huang's man?

"It's just that this kind of divine assistance takes care of almost every aspect. It is exquisite in all aspects and moistens things silently, but it gives me a chilling feeling. Han Huang is a man with treacherous means, so I need to be careful." Jia Heng's face was gloomy, and his heart The haze is thick.

With his concern about the government, he has begun to ponder the positions of several cabinet scholars.

Chen Han's major events, as he said, have three things, but the core one is a side matter, and the side matter is a major event that endangers the country and society, and is the confidant of Emperor Chongping.

It can be said that whoever masters the formulation of national policy on border affairs can secure the chair in the cabinet.

The chief assistant of the cabinet and the leader of the whole party, Yang Guochang is good at managing money, so he is highly valued by the emperor.

As for the second assistant, Han Huang, who is a representative of the gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is impossible that he has no idea about the heavy taxes that the imperial court has imposed on the southeast in recent years.

Today's Chen Han, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan are almost all rotten mud ponds and naked financial black holes. Only the three southeastern provinces, Huguang, support the world with several provinces and taxes.

It's not good to say something, but the voice of Yang Yang can't be said to be in the southeast.

Therefore, how can there be a battle of spirits in political disputes?

It is not only a battle for personnel, but also a battle for fame and fortune.

Emperor Chongping listened to the performance of the ministers, and was silent for a long time, as if thinking about it. After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "The cabinet drafted a decree, with Jingzhao Yin Xulu as the chief judge, and the Youqin of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Yude, General Yunhui, Jin Yiwei Commander Jia Heng and two assistants tried the case together, while Qiu Liang was dereliction of duty and incompetent, he indulged the thieves in crimes, and was dismissed from his post to wait for participation. General Yun Hui appointed General Yunhui to serve as the executive officer of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division to assist the Jingzhao Yamen , to rectify the banditry in Dongcheng. Liang Yuan, the servant of the household department...blocked the way of speech, and fined him half a year."

Tips, Guangou, and Quanzhi are all titles created by temporary officials sent by the former Song Dynasty. On the basis of Chen Han's inheritance of the former Ming Dynasty, he combined a lot of official systems of the Tang and Song Dynasties, which is called the Huidian of the Former Ming Dynasty The key point is to learn from the classics of Tang and Song Dynasties.

Of course, this was also an expedient measure that Emperor Chongping thought up for a moment.

"Holy Majesty Shengming, long live long live long live!" All the officials heard the words, they all shouted long live, and they all felt that it was another brilliant victory for the civil official group.

Nine out of ten requests are granted.

Only Liang Yuan, the servant of the household department, looked at the young man in brocade with a gloomy expression.

As for the penalty salary, he naturally does not care about the salary, but if this incident happens, his official career will be greatly affected.

This is what matters!

At this time, Minister of Rites He Juncheng had just come from Zuoye Gate, had just exchanged a few words with Li Zan, Minister of War, just in time to hear the edict read out by the inner eunuch in front of Daming Palace, his old body was startled, and his face changed slightly.

There is only one thought, this cabinet minister, he can't do it for long.

Li Zan's cold face also showed a trace of surprise, he pondered for a while, and said, "Mr. He Ge, wait to see the Holy One?"

He Juncheng sighed, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Old Li Ge, I'm not feeling well, so I'm going back first."

So what if he went to face the saint, and was pointed at the nose by some Kejia juniors?If you don't go back home, you will retreat bravely.

He Juncheng, the leader of the Kejia back then, obviously also had a temper, he cupped his hands at Li Zan, turned around and left.

The gray-haired old man in his early sixties walked like flying, and disappeared at the palace gate in a short while.

How can you look unwell?

Li Zan shook his head secretly, thinking thoughtfully on his cold and thin face: "He Ge went to...Ji Town a few years ago, and we can't let the people of the Qi Party mess around anymore. As for Han Ge, he is selfish. It's too heavy, seeking the benefit of the southeast region, regardless of the country's community..."

Obviously, the leader of the Chu Party will also take advantage of this to gradually squeeze the Qi Party, headed by the cabinet chief and assistant, to speak in the military affairs of the Eastern Captives.

Because Yang Guochang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is good at managing goods and spending money and food, and he has a group of local governors and frontier army generals from Shandong who join him in solidarity. Restricted, fists and feet cannot be stretched.

Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, put away some chaotic thoughts, straightened his official robes, and headed towards Daming Palace. At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Science and Dao also calmed down their anger, and gradually dispersed under the comfort of Emperor Chongping.

Quite a few of them didn't eat lunch. At this moment, their anger dissipated, and they felt hungry and thirsty.

On the side of Emperor Chongping, he also cast a pair of majestic eyes on Han Huang, Yang Guochang and other cabinet ministers. He was silent for a moment, then looked at Jia Heng, and said, "Several university scholars first came to the East Pavilion and asked the imperial dining room to send some The meal is over, Zi Yu, follow me into the palace, Dai Quan, you go and call Jing Zhaoyin Xu Deqing into the palace."

At this moment, Li Zan had arrived in front of the Daming Palace, greeted Emperor Chongping and said, "My subject, Li Zan, has seen the Holy Majesty."

"Li Qing is here too. If you haven't had lunch, you can go to the East Pavilion first." Emperor Chongping nodded and said in a clear voice.

"I obey the order." Li Zan glanced at Jia Heng, knowing that the Holy Majesty was going to summon this son alone to give him an opportunity, so he responded with understanding.
