Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Hearing Yang He's words, Xu Hongji was slightly startled, but without too much hesitation, he picked up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, saying loudly: "Your Majesty, Duke Xu Hongji of Wei, accepts the order, long live my emperor!"  Unfolding the imperial edict in his hand, Yang He cleared his throat and read with a serious face: "Since I came to the throne, I have been close to the people and diligent in government, and I dare not forget it day and night! The lineage of Wei Guogong in Nanjing, after Prince Jing of Zhongshan, has made great contributions to Nanjing.  . The capital of Nanjing was a top priority, and the administration of officials was particularly important. Today, there is Yang He, the censor of Zuodu in the Duchayuan, who is an upright official and worthy of a heavy responsibility. He is appointed as an imperial envoy to serve on behalf of the emperor.  On a hunting tour, wherever you go, it¡¯s like I¡¯m personally there!¡± Xu Hongji, who was kneeling on the ground, looked very serious, but he couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart. He really didn¡¯t know what he was going to say. I¡¯m afraid things are about to get down to business next.  !  "Xu Hongji, the Grand Governor of the Nanjing Central Military Governor's Mansion, Wei Guogong, is well aware of the situation in Nanjing and is loyal to the imperial court. He has been specially appointed as a deputy imperial envoy to accompany the imperial envoy Yang He to inspect the administration of officials and put an end to unjust prisons. This is what Yang He read!"  Then he closed the imperial edict and dragged the imperial edict forward with a serious face.  "My Lord Wei, Xu Hongji, accepts the imperial edict. Long live my emperor!" Xu Hongji quickly bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, stretched out his hand to receive the edict, and stood up with Yang He's support.  Looking at Wei Guogong Xu Hongji with a smile, Yang He cupped his hand and said: "The Duke of Wei, the world's chief minister in Jinghu, and an important minister of the country, can get help from the Duke of Wei. I will live up to the emperor's trust in this trip to Nanjing."  ! " Yang He's attitude was very polite. Xu Hongji naturally didn't know how to hit the smiling person. Xu Hongji was not a playboy who didn't understand the world!  Yang He returned the gift and said with a smile: "Master Yang, you are very polite. Regardless of whether there is an imperial edict or not, just tell me if you have anything to say!" There was no expression on his face, but Yang He didn't think so in his heart. If there was no imperial edict from the emperor,  You, Duke Wei, must push six, two, and five!  Yang He would not say these words, but smiled and said to Xu Hongji: "If anything happens, please rely on the Duke of Guo. This is Nanjing after all, and the Duke of Guo should be familiar with it!"  Tu, Tu Tu Bin is not a royal minister! No matter where he goes, Mr. Yang is an imperial envoy, so naturally no one dares to object!" Xu Hongji said with a smile as he looked at Yang He with narrowed eyes.  The two people looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing. It was obvious that they had reached a tacit understanding through the conversation just now.  "Master Yang, can you tell me now? Why did the emperor send Mr. Yang here this time? Since the emperor has issued an imperial edict, naturally he will not just let me watch from the side. Since I am useful, Mr. Yang  You might as well tell me!" Xu Hongji picked up a bowl of tea and said with a serious face.  Wei Guogong Xu Hongji knew very well that Emperor Tianqi wanted to use troops!  Otherwise, he would never have issued such an imperial edict.  If troops were to be mobilized in Nanjing, this case would definitely be a big deal. Although I had some suspicions in my mind, I was not sure.  Nodding slowly, Yang He's eyes flashed with solemnity. He dipped his hand in the tea bowl and wrote a word on the table with his finger!  The pupils shrank slightly, and Xu Hongji¡¯s face twitched a few times. It was obvious that he did not expect that Emperor Tianqi would really dare to touch this place.  However, he also understood in his heart that the emperor was forced into a hurry, otherwise he would never have reached this point.  "My lord, I won't say any more, please send troops to help!" Yang He stood up, saluted Xu Hongji with a serious face, and said in a deep voice.  Standing up in disbelief, Xu Hongji's face twitched a few times, and he said in surprise: "Master Yang, are you kidding me? Do you want to do it now?" Without answering Wei Guogong Xu Hongji's words, Yang He slowly turned his head  , and said to the people outside: "Go and bring Yangzhou Magistrate Yang Xiayu and Yangzhou Transfer Envoy Ding Qianli!" Then he turned his head and said to Xu Hongji: "Master, please don't wait!" Nodding, Xu Hongji  Frowning slightly, he sat aside and looked at Yang He with a bit of hesitation on his face.  Needless to say, the Yangzhou magistrate, but the Yangzhou transshipment envoy has a very special status and is implicated in the Yangzhou water transportation yamen.  Now that Yang He has found these two people, what is going on here?  Not long after, the Jin Yiwei from outside came back, followed by two people: Yang Xiayu, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Ding Qianli, the transfer envoy of Yangzhou.  When they came to the hall, the two of them knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, first to Yang He and then to Wei Guogong.  The two of them were officials in Yangzhou, so they were no strangers to Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, but they didn't understand why Wei Guogong Xu Hongji was here.  "You two, I won't say any more if there is no need. Now let's talk about your bedchamber and Wei Guogong!" Yang He looked at the two people with bright eyes and said in a serious voice.  Yang Xiayu and Ding Qianli looked at each other with a bit of confusion on their faces, but even now??There is nothing more to say!  The two of them nodded, and Ding Qianli explained the whole story.  Picking up the tea bowl on the table, Yang He had a smile on his face, but looked at Wei Guogong Xu Hongji.  Watching the expression on Wei Guogong's face carefully, Yang He couldn't help but think in his heart.  The Duke of Wei's government is deeply rooted in Nanjing. If you say that there is no trace of the Duke of Wei in the Lianghuai salt case, even if you kill Yang He, you won't believe it.  Now that the emperor has left the matter to Wei Guogong to participate, Yang He naturally understands in his heart.  Presumably Duke Wei also knew that what was needed now was to reach a tacit understanding.  The Lianghuai Salt Case is far more involved than the Liaodong Army Pay Case. If they were all arrested and beheaded, I am afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom would be reduced to ten to fifty-six.  In that case, the court would be in chaos, and the personnel disputes alone would probably make the court miserable.  What can be done now is to severely punish the salt case officials and seize the contaminated silver coins.  The salt field was re-explored and all the salt tax was collected by the court.  As for really tracing the responsibility, I'm afraid it starts with talking about it.  Putting down the teacup in his hand, Yang He turned over these things in his mind and sighed softly.  It is not easy for Emperor Tianqi. He knows that these people are the worms of the country, but he has no choice but to do nothing.  Even if it is possible to find out that Wei Guogong is selling private salt, so what?  If you don't issue an edict to reprimand, it will only increase your troubles!  After listening to the narration of the Yangzhou magistrate and Yangzhou transfer envoy, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji nodded slowly, glanced at Yang He who was smiling, and suddenly understood.  Holding a fist towards Yang He, Xu Hongji said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, we have understood the situation. Please tell me what to do now! Since there is an imperial edict, I will not shirk it!" He waved his hand to the Yangzhou magistrate and  The Yangzhou transfer envoy went out and ordered the Jinyi guards outside to stay at their posts, and then cautiously said to Wei Guogong: "Master Guo, the matter is now very clear. Once this case is started, it will be a major case. If we really arrest everyone  Get up, I'm afraid Jiangnan officialdom will be empty. Let's arrest some first! Then report it to the cabinet. When the cabinet sends officials to take charge of the overall situation, we will kill them all!" Wei Guogong Xu Hongji frowned and thought about it.  He said: "Master Yang, if you really do this, I'm afraid it will alert the snake. If you want to find the person by then, I'm afraid things will be troublesome! Doing this will give people time to transfer the evidence, and I'm afraid the gain outweighs the loss!"  He nodded. Yang He had also thought of this, but that was what Emperor Tianqi told him last time. Could it be that the Emperor was negligent?  Thinking over and over in his heart, Yang He was also in a dilemma, what should he do?  "My lord, if this can really be done, Nanjing's officialdom may be in chaos!" Looking at Wei Guogong, Yang He said hesitantly. This was also what he was worried about.  "Master Yang, what you said is wrong. If someone really destroys the evidence and gives these people time, there will be chaos. Master Yang is an imperial envoy with orders, and all the six departments and other officials in Nanjing City will be sent to various places when the time comes.  There is no problem in controlling the situation!" Wei Guogong had a stern look in his eyes. As the saying goes, "cutting the grass and eradicating the root" will hit you with one blow, and you will never give anyone a chance to stand up.  Nodding once again, Yang He knew in his heart that what Wei Guogong said was very reasonable.  But I don¡¯t know what Emperor Tianqi thinks. Should I ask Emperor Tianqi for instructions?  I really can't make any decisions myself.  Xu Hongji also saw that something was wrong at this time. Mr. Yang seemed to agree with his idea, but he was also worried in his heart. What was he worried about?  Because it was an unspeakable secret, Xu Hongji did not ask, but quietly waited for Yang He to think for himself.  I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but Yang He cupped his fists at Xu Hongji and said in a deep voice: "My lord, it¡¯s getting late. Please let me think about it. We will be working on the district office early tomorrow morning!" "Master Yang, it's getting late.  , The night is long and the dream is many, I hope you can make a decision soon!" Wei Guogong Xu Hongji seemed to have expected it, nodded, stood up and left!  When Xu Hongji left, Yang He asked someone to bring him casual clothes, put on makeup and left the imperial envoy's office.  He led several Jin Yiwei, also dressed in casual clothes, towards the residence of Emperor Tianqi.  At this time, Emperor Tianqi was playing chess, and his opponent was a teenage girl, who was also playing quite advanced backgammon.  The two of them were going back and forth, refusing to give in to each other, and there would be quarrels from time to time.  Not far away, Yuan Keli and others were watching this scene. They wanted to laugh but didn¡¯t dare to laugh. They were holding back and felt very uncomfortable!  "Master Yuan, we don't understand either. We don't ask questions that we shouldn't ask. Does Master Yuan know when the emperor will return to Beijing?" Chen Hong looked at Yuan Keli with a smile and asked softly.  "That's it! Things here in Nanjing will come to an end soon. As long as Mr. Yang makes a move, the emperor should return to the capital!" Yuan Keli stroked his beardZi, said with a smile.  At this time, a guard walked in from outside and said a few words in Chen Lin's ear, and Chen Lin's eyebrows wrinkled.  To be continued.  )
