Chapter 972 The Desolate Elder Xu Ge
It is well known that Zhao Zhenji looked down on Zhang Juzheng. The old master almost wanted to catch Zhang Juzheng and asked loudly, "Do you have a conscience?" Without Xu Ge Lao's cultivation, how could you have what you are today, ungrateful things, and what face will you have left in the court?"
Lao Zhao wanted to have an attack and scolded him quickly, but after looking at the calm Tang Yi again, he still held back. Tang Yi emphasized the principle of employing people many times at the cabinet meeting, first of all, first of all, second of all, obeying laws, and also value virtue.
What does it mean?
It is good to have both virtue and ability, but morality is very troublesome and it makes sense. Take Li Chunfang, who does nothing for example, for example, some people praise him for his humility and the spirit of a benevolent man.
As a senior official of the court, the primary responsibility is to be worthy of one's position, to have the ability to shoulder the burden on one's shoulders, and secondly, to abide by the rules. What are the rules? It is the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and the rules and regulations of the cabinet. If these two are in line with them, you can become a qualified and good official.
As for moral character, unless there are serious flaws, they are not allowed to be mentioned.
Tang Yi gave Kedao the power to investigate, which is to ask them to speak with facts, to show real evidence, not to be morally attacked or captured.
After more than a year, Tang Yi's prestige has been established, and even Zhao Zhenji cannot break the rules casually.
His face was solemn, "Gei-Lady Tang, I didn't talk to Mr. Xu because of my personal affair. It's really Hai Rui's doing too much in the southeast."
Tang Yi said curiously: "What do you mean?"
"That's right. After he served as the governor, he immediately asked the people to sue. As a result, hundreds of people went to Hai Rui to submit complaints every day, including many unruly people who were happy to see the hunt. Hai Rui was upright, so I naturally knew that, but he hated the rich and favored the poor when judging the case. As a result, some unruly people fabricated evidence and gathered a group of people to frame the rich, dreaming of getting rich overnight. The people in the southeast were panicked and chaos came frequently. Su Song was a place of wealth. If this continued, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
After hearing this, Tang Yi ignored it and looked at Zhang Juzheng again.
"Taiyue, how did you get the news?"
Zhang Juzheng straightened his back and said seriously: "Yuan Fu, I also heard some rumors, but I thought that this was the case, so I should support Hai Rui strongly and let him push the government affairs down."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Juzheng said slowly: "For all generations, the government has not gone to the countryside, and the responsibility of governing the people has fallen into the hands of the gentry. This is especially true for our dynasty. Even taxes have been seized by the gentry. Whenever the imperial court promotes administrative affairs and slightly damages its interests, they will obstruct it, hire gangs and secretly attack, causing chaos in the local area, and then blame the officials for this, mobilize the censors and the sages of the sages, and the officials of the court have been overthrown. There are countless such tragic examples. Zhu Wan, the admiral of Fujian and Zhejiang, fought against the Japanese and made outstanding achievements. He was overthrown by such means, and led to a great chaos in the southeast. The Japanese pirates have been rampant for more than ten years. The lessons are painful!"
"Cleaning the land and sorting out taxes is a common resolution of the cabinet. Hai Rui shoulders the mission and is not afraid of difficulties. What he accomplishes is the meaning of the cabinet. If Hai Rui is replaced just because of the local rebound, what is the prestige of the cabinet? Nowadays, many official seal officials who come out of the imperial examination are often not valued, and even disobey them lip service, and they regard them as archway decorations. Because they will be transferred within a few years, the iron-clad soldiers are in a row. Therefore, when things happen, the people are more willing to seek help from clerks and rely on the gentry clans. Among these people, there are many good and bad people, and countless people harm the people. As the prime minister of the cabinet, I think the officials are our own people. They have made mistakes. Of course, they must be severely punished and not lend money. They are not wrong. Just because they settle things, they replaced the officials. Who can still do things for the court in the future, and who can still shoulder the heavy responsibility of the new policy?"
Zhang Juzheng's voice was not high and very magnetic. Even Zhao Zhenji fell into deep thought when he heard it at the end. He finally realized that he might have underestimated this junior.
In the consciousness of many people, when they mention officials, they are afraid that they will harm the people.
But don’t forget that strong dragons do not defeat local snakes. Compared with the deep-rooted gentry, there are also clerks who have been passed down from generation to generation. The officials of the imperial court, except for a few geniuses, most of them were sent to the place and served as the Marquis of Baili when they had just left their books.
When it comes to talent and ability, they are all at a disadvantage and are deceived by others without knowing it.
There is a court above to deal with it, and there are a group of elite clerks and gentry below. No wonder officials often say that they do more mistakes, do less mistakes, and do not do well.
The cabinet wants to promote the new policy and realize the revival of Longqing. Can it only point to the seven cabinet masters? It is not necessary to cooperate with the officials below, and Hai Rui is recognized as the Divine Sword of the Ming Dynasty and the best official in the world. If he is replaced, wouldn’t it be a waste of his martial arts?
Mr. Zhao, who was originally aggressive, lowered his head when he thought of this, and was a little braver.
"Even if Hai Rui cannot be replaced, Master Xu is in a state of hope, so he will have the heart to see him miserable?" Zhao Zhenji stared at Tang Yi, thinking that you should express your opinion, don't try to avoid it.
"Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Gei-Ge
"Who should I ask?"
"You!"
Zhao Zhenji was so happy that he asked me, what can I do? However, Zhang Juzheng, who was standing beside him, reacted faster, and he understood what Tang Yi meant.
"Dazhou Gong, didn't the Prime Minister allow Kedao to investigate the six ministries and 13 provinces? Why didn't he send Kedao censors to the southeast and investigate with Hai Rui? If Hai Rui really framed Mr. Xu, he would naturally not say anything."
Zhao Zhenji suddenly realized that it was not, why didn't he even use the power in his hands? He hurriedly left and immediately sent a capable general to Nanzhili and stared at the Haiman.
Seeing Zhao Zhenji go away, Zhang Juzheng suddenly sighed quietly, "Sir Yuanfu, I'm afraid Zhao Zhenji will commit favoritism and fraud!"
Until now, Zhang Juzheng couldn't quite understand. The cabinet had stabilized and Zhao Zhenji was still left to do. Is it clear that it caused chaos to the new policy?
Tang Yi smiled slightly and said, "Gemao Zhang, you are too worried. Dazhou Gong is a square man, and he will know the right position. There are many things at present. In addition to Nanzhili, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, there are still a lot of things. I heard that many royal family members sent the prince to the capital to cry to the emperor. You have to keep an eye on them and don't make any trouble."
"Affect the order."
Zhang Juzheng took the order and Tang Yi smiled, thinking that if Zhao Zhenji was not allowed to take action, what would the people in the world think? They would only think that I, Tang Yi, took revenge on Xu Jie. Only when the old master sent someone to go, can the things found be convinced.
Brother Gangfeng, it depends on whether your skills can block the people from Zhao Zhenji Sect.
...
Just as letters and cabinet competitions were being exchanged, Hai Rui had made drastic moves in Songjiang and made rapid progress.
He forced the Xu family to hand over Xu Kun and one or two hundred evil slaves. Xu Jie could not resist the pressure, so he had to write a letter to Hai Rui and agreed to hand over the slave. As for his second son Xu Kun, Xu Jie asked to stay at home and he would discipline himself.
Hai Rui refused to comment, and Xu Jie thought the barbarian retreated and secretly called for luck!
Unexpectedly, after Hai Rui took away the evil slave, he interrogated him overnight. More than 100 people, few of them, broke through one, and then they collapsed all over the line. Everyone was rushing to confess.
They shook out all the shameful things that the Xu family had in the past few years.
It is not just about occupying the land acres. There are more than thirty murder cases alone, most of which involve Xu Jie's two young men, Xu Kun and Xu Ying.
Some people even revealed sensational news, saying that the Xu family colluded with pirates, used pirates to plunder villages, and then sent people to buy the land of the people at a low price. They were shameless to the outside world, claiming that they were to help the people...
One by one, Hai Rui immediately published the things he reviewed in the newspaper. The news spread quickly in the southeast. More and more victims stood up to prove that the Xu family and a large group of literati went to Songjiang to investigate the situation, write articles, and publish them everywhere.
The Xu family's hypocritical face was completely torn off, and the angry Songjiang people ran to the Xu family's mansion and surrounded their house.
Xu Jin was not allowed to leave, and cursed all day long, and he greeted the Xu family every day, making the Xu family covered in dust.
Xu Jie couldn't even eat vegetables for more than ten days, so he could only grow bean sprouts. After eating mung beans and soybeans, Xu Ge Lao was disgusted when he smelled the beans and kept farting.
Even if Xu Jie's forbearance is the best in the world, he is now called "Daily" and "Daily" and "Daily" are called "Daily" and "Daily" are so sad that it is extremely sad!
"You two beasts, go and surrender!" Xu Jie said in pain.
When Xu Kun and Xu Ying heard this, their faces turned green.
"Dad, you can't ignore the children. If they get to the hands of the King of Hell, the children will be finished!" The two of them burst into tears, and they cried so hard that they were so miserable.
Xu Jie looked angry and hated. He was angry that the two beasts were not good at fighting and were doing something to scatter their virtues. Yan Song fell into Yan Shifan's hands, and as a result, he also wanted to follow Yan Song's footsteps.
I hate Tang Yi for being ruthless and ruthless, and I hate Zhao Zhenji for being weak and incompetent.
"Oh, you go and surrender first. Within three days, the censor of the Censorate will arrive and they will uphold justice." Xu Jie was trapped at home, still with his hands and eyes.
"The Censorate is just a mere seventh-rank censor. Can they do it?" Xu Fan asked worriedly.
Xu Jie's eyes were blurred, and after a while, he said, "Your father is still a little influence in Kedao. In addition, Shilin Qingyi is standing on our side. The Haimanzi fought alone, and it is easy to break, so there is no need to be afraid."
After saying that, Xu Jie closed his old eyes and leaned on the recliner to pretend to be dead.
Xu Fan had no choice but to give the two brothers to the officer who came.
Two of the three evils of the Xu family were arrested, and Songjiang caused a sensation for a while. It turns out that Mr. Xu didn't know that his three precious sons were nicknamed.
Hai Rui raided overnight, and Xu Kun and Xu Ying couldn't stop and confessed, including more than 20 murder cases, involving more than 100,000 acres of land, as well as more than 300 shops and workshops.
It was a hasty turn to make up, and silver was at least eight million taels.
"Although Fenyi is greedy, she is a big witch compared to Huating!" Hai Rui clenched his fists and clattered. (To be continued.)
