Chapter 339
As the Ministry of Personnel in charge of the appointment and removal of civil officials, the promotion of officials is mainly based on the evaluation of the merits of the Ministry of Personnel. To put it more than just a recommendation, the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the movements of the entire court.
In the past 100 to 20 years, tens of thousands of officials have been mobilized, and it is really hard to explain what role the Ministry of Personnel has played in the middle. It’s just that as long as the matter is hidden in the dark corner, even if everyone has some thoughts in their minds, they are just ideas and will not be put on the table.
But once this matter is brought up, everyone will believe it.
He Changxu and Shen Qing have worked with each other for many years. Both of them are still well aware of each other, but they have never been involved in the rivers and have been doing things for Qiu Wanao, so they are in peace.
But He Changxu was forced to the point of being forced by Liu Gan, and he couldn't care about so much, so he shook the official's legacy. As soon as he finished speaking, many ministers in the court looked a little embarrassed, and only buried their heads very low, as if they were afraid of being named.
Shen Qing, who was still waiting for an opportunity, was very upset. After Liu Gan's disaster, if he could save him, Liu Gan would be grateful to him for the rest of his life. He was just waiting, waiting for the moment when Liu Gan gave up struggling and despair, and then he would come like a god. In this way, even if he promoted Liu Gan to the bad trick of Shangpo of the Ministry of Rites in the future, He Changxu was forced to jump over the wall and participated in the first book of his Ministry of Personnel. Although he was involved in Liu Gan, He Changxu's words would be equivalent to participating in his entire Ministry of Personnel, especially his Minister of Personnel.
Shen Qing gritted his teeth in regret. As soon as He Chang's words were spoken, he pointed out that there was evidence to prove it.
He Changxu's heart was beating wildly. He glanced at Qiu Wanao. At this time, the latter's face could no longer be tense, as it was ashen and ugly. It was obvious that the two ministers of the rituals and officials revealed their true feelings to each other, and this was also the biggest loss for him.
Xin Zhongqiao had long seen some clues. Shen Qing and He Changxu were not easy-to-have. Qiu Wanao was an old man who thought he could still monopolize the power. He didn't know that none of the people below were content to be controlled and controlled.
He glanced at Cao Wanli, who smiled and nodded slightly. The two of them understood it, but they just kept silent.
Shen Qing knew that Qiu Wanao's eyes were looking at him like sharp blades, but he wanted to protect himself. The situation was so serious, let alone He Changxu revealed his background first, so why should he swallow his anger?
"Your Majesty, the old minister knows that there is someone to testify.
During the examination three years ago, the Minister of Rites and the two ministers also did the same thing as they are now.
Huang Weiwen, the son of Huang Yaotian, the former governor of Picang of Youzhou, was also among the candidates of the Ministry of Rites. At that time, Huang Yaotian had already given 50,000 taels of silver to give his son a certain Huiyuan. However, Huang Weiwen was a virtuous person.
Not only did Huang Weiwen refuse to agree, but he even said that he would go to Beijing to expose the crime of the Ministry of Rites. When He Changxu learned about this, he sent someone to beat Huang Weiwen to a half-dead. Huang Yaotian begged to promise to take his family to resign and return to his hometown and never enter Beijing again forever, so that his son and family would be able to save the lives of his son and his family."
He Changxu looked at Shen Qing in shock. He was very secretive about this matter, so why did Shen Qing know about it?
Moreover, he had already asked Huang Yaotian’s family to solve the problem on his way home, in order to avoid trouble.
Shen Qing looked at He Changxu with some smugness and sarcastic glances, and continued to explain: "The reason why the old minister knew about this was because Huang Yaotian had secretly found the old minister and begged the old minister to save his family's life. It was at that time that the old minister realized that the Ministry of Rites had been doing the quota for many years.
But the old minister was ashamed. The examination was once every three years. Three years ago, the old minister had no evidence, so he could only hold this matter in his heart. Three years later, the old minister wanted to find out the matter clearly, so he recommended the Left Minister to take the same exam, wanting him to investigate the matter secretly, but he didn't expect that he would be plotted against by He Changxu."
He Changxu heard this and didn't have time to think about Huang Yaotian. He retorted angrily: "Shen Qing, you are making things out of nothing. I have never seen Huang Yaotian before. Besides, what is Huang Yaotian's relationship with you? He is in trouble. Why did he write a letter to you for help?"
He was sure that Huang Yaotian's family had died of a crime, and he sent Zhu Da to deal with the matter himself. There is no evidence of death now. He didn't believe that Shen Qing could really do anything about this matter.
"If you really want to accuse me of this, why not call Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen to the main hall and we confront each other in front of you."
Shen Qing looked at him with a smile, as if a wolf saw a rabbit falling into his trap, proud and contemptuous, and condescendingly. He turned his head to Zhuang Yan on the high platform and said, "Emperor, after learning that the time for the Juren to expose the conspiracy of the Ministry of Rites was coming, he immediately sent someone to take Huang Yaotian and Huang Weiwen into the capital. Now he is outside the hall. If the emperor wants to summon them, he can announce them to the hall at any time."
"Impossible." He Changxu blurted out in horror. But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it. He was too eager and too sure.
Sure enough, Shen Qing was a little surprised and puzzled: "What's impossible? Why is Lord He so sure?"
He Changxu snorted coldly: "How can I have something I have never done before? Even if you let Huang Yaotian and his son come out to confront me, it will not change the result of my participation in your relationship."
In desperation, He Changxu almost forgot that Shen Qing was just to excuse him, so he immediately changed his words: "The emperor, the Minister of Personnel, these innocent words are just to cover up his crimes.
It has become a fact that the emperor ordered the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple to go to his mansion to investigate, and there will naturally be the truth."
Shen Qing clenched his fists secretly. This old man must fight him to the death, right? He quickly defended himself: "Master, He Changxu knew that he could not cover it up anymore, so he used this fictitious thing to delay time, and even wanted to transfer the blame to the old minister.
The old minister begged the emperor to go to the palace to confront He Changxu."
He Changxu was already in a panic of cold sweat on his back, and his head was dizzy. Could it be that Huang Yaotian was not dead? He was not sure, but Shen Qing didn't look like he was lying. He finally stopped the matter of asking Zhang Tian's wife, children and parents to go to the palace to confront each other, but if Huang Yaotian was really alive?
He had no choice but to watch Zhuang Yan give the order to order Huang Yaotian and his son to go to the palace, and he was immediately anxious.
Cao Wanli looked at Xin Zhongqiao, but the latter shook his head slightly. He understood it and gave a wink to the people behind him.
The other officials in the court witnessed this dramatic exhibition and exchanged glances with each other and could not guess the end of the battle between the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel. However, no matter what, the biggest winner was the one sitting on the top, and the worst loser was the one standing at the bottom of the civil servant.
This battle between civil officials will be a heavy blow to Qiu Wanao.
