Chapter 747 Pulling the List (1)

The moment he walked into Zhilu, Xu Jie became enlightened... The enlightenment was that he was misunderstood and despised, and his old opponents who had been fighting for more than ten years had to continue fighting.

Just three days after the news of Yan Shifan's death came, Yan Song appeared again in the hut. He did not sit or lay on the rattan chair specially set up for him, but sat in the first place representing the cabinet's chief minister and holding a pen ticket.

It has been a stalemate for several years, but today Yan Song is energetic, his eyes are like lightning, and his expression is solemn... No need to think about it, he is here to avenge his son.

"Zisheng is here." Yan Song said lightly: "I'm late today. Although there is no second-level assistant in the court, I have been in the cabinet for many years. How can I be so lazy?"

Xu Jie bowed expressionlessly, "Xie Yuanfu's teachings."

"Forget it, let's sit."

Lu Ben looked at his nose and his heart, and Wu Shan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Xu Jie sitting down. Yan Song's two words were meaningful... It was indeed not the so-called second-level cabinet assistant, but just the default successor to take over the cabinet chief assistant.

Yan Song said with a thorn, even if I get out of here, it may not be your turn to take over.

Xu Jie sat down with anger and cursed in his heart that this old guy lost his wife first and then his son. He didn't expect that he could still hold on... Could it be a rebirth?

"Today's tickets have been arranged, only two things are left." Yan Song threw two memorials on the table...

I didn't hear the following words clearly, but the first sentence made Xu Jie feel restless and arranged it properly?

The so-called cabinet initially existed as the emperor's think tank and secretary, but gradually became the actual center of power. However, from a model point of view, it should be a joint discussion between the cabinet, and then the cabinet's chief minister vote was proposed to be submitted.

But if the cabinet chief minister is unwilling to discuss it together, he will enjoy the right to vote... the other Grand Secretary will only serve tea and water.

Yan Song and his son have enjoyed the power of the bill for more than ten years. In other words, Xu Jie has been serving tea and pouring water for more than ten years... In the more than a month after Yan Shifan was kicked out of the capital, except for a few things, Xu Jie has begun to actually exercise the power of the cabinet chief minister, and the bill for him.

After all, he has not yet become the chief minister of the cabinet, and Xu Jie still discusses with Lu Ben and Wu Shan... But now that Yan Shifan dies, Yan Song returns to Zhilu and regains the right to vote.

"Ma Shunqing, remember it was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing..." Wu Shan's gaze fell on Xu Jie's face in a daze, "Shaohu Gong?"

When Xu Jie heard the term "Jinshi in the Second Year of Jiajing", he immediately came to his senses. It has been nearly forty years now, and almost all the Jinshi in the Second Year of Jiajing who are still in the court are his accomplices.

"Ma Kun, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing. He was once the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture and the Minister of Dali Temple." Yan Song looked at Xu Jie and said slowly: "A native of Tongzhou, Nanzhili, is only a river from Songjiang Prefecture. Zisheng should be very familiar with him."

Wu Shan handed the memorial to Xu Jie, and said with a flashing look: "Nanjing Zhenwu Camp Mutiny."

Lu Ben, who was standing beside him, shrank his head, and now he was sure that Yuan Fu was preparing to start to calculate the accounts one by one... It is said that Yan Shifan was transferred to Nanjing on the way, and Ma Kun, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, ordered 500 soldiers from Zhenwuying to escort Yan Shifan back to his hometown.

As a result, when bandits attacked on the way, the soldiers of Zhenwu Camp fled first in fear of war, and then robbed Yan's property... There are even rumors in the capital that dead soldiers hid in Zhenwu Camp and took advantage of the chaos to kill Yan Shifan.

In any case, in the murder of Yan Shifan, Zhenwu Camp played a negative role, and Ma Kun was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing and a gangster of the Tie Tie.

According to convention, Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue, is about to retire. Unless he is transferred from the other five departments, the person who is most likely to take over is Ma Kun, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing.

Well, in history, the Zhenwu Camp mutiny had to wait for a year, and before that, Ma Kun was transferred to the position of Minister of Revenue in Beijing, and his future was very good... As a result, he was implicated and imprisoned, and eventually dismissed from office and returned home.

"In this matter, He Shou, the eunuch in Nanjing, also had the intention of handing over the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the

"It has arrived a quarter of an hour ago." Lu Ben did off-topic work in the cabinet and went out to bring people.

When he saw the visitor, Xu Jie's lips opened slightly, but he immediately pursed his lips. He was Huang Maoguan, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This person was also one of the possible successors of the Minister of Revenue. Moreover, he was praised by the government and the people for promoting sweet potatoes and potatoes... Another person who Xu Jie disliked.

Well, Yan Dang is a mortal enemy. In addition, in Xu Jie's mind, all favorability will be reduced.

"Thank you for your hard work," Wu Shan smiled and said, "I have only returned to the capital for two days and should have rested for a few days, but today is a last resort."

"Wu Ge Lao praised it." Huang Maoguan sighed: "If I leave Beijing this time, as I had previously guessed, all parts of the northwest and Liaodong are unwilling to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, for fear of missing the harvest."

"I had no choice but to choose four places in the name of the Ministry of Revenue, and try planting the official fields, and promised to return all the benefits to the local area, which would harm the Ministry of Revenue to make up for it."

Huang Maoguan smiled bitterly and said, "Fortunately, Liangzhe, Susong, Fujian and Jiangxi, and Shandong are not worried about the User Department..."

"Zhancai has already made arrangements." Yan Song nodded and smiled, "In the 34th year of Jiajing, the Nanjing Ministry of War established a military camp to prepare for the Japanese. That year, the emperor was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing."

The news of the Zhenwu Camp mutiny had not spread yet, and the cabinet received a memorial from Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, who was nominally in charge of the Yingtian Prefecture official army, who urgently handed in Beijing.

Huang Maoguan took the memorial and looked at it a few times, his face changed drastically, and he threatened the Secretary of the Ministry of War Zhang Yang of Nanjing. Duke of Wei was unable to control it. He was driven away by the rebellious soldiers and ran away wildly. The rebellious soldiers besieged the Nanjing Revenue Department's Office. The Minister of the Revenue Department Ma Kun escaped by chance, but died a minister of the Ministry of Revenue and two doctors of the Ministry of Revenue Department.

He didn't know that the Minister of Revenue who died in history was himself, and he was stripped naked and had his body naked in the city.

But now, this is good news for Huang Maoguan. He can be sure that he has been promoted to the Minister of Revenue, Ma Kun, and the biggest opponent.

After a little bit of accusation in his heart, Huang Maoguan said slowly: "In the 34th year of Jiajing, more than a hundred Japanese pirates attacked Hangzhou from Jiaxing, and walked around to Huizhou Prefecture and headed north. They crossed the river to Taiping Prefecture and spyed into the southern capital. At that time, Nanzhili was shocked. Later, the Minister of War Zhang Shiche of Nanjing proposed to form a Zhenwu camp to prepare for the Japanese."

Everyone present was very good at humans. Not to mention the others, they were familiar with the knowledge of the two capitals and six ministries. Their first reaction was... Zhang Shiche, the Minister of War in Nanjing at that time, was Zhang Shiche, and another Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, the same year as Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was speechless, shouldn't this be a coincidence?

"At the beginning, elite soldiers were selected. Those who had a wife's house gave a monthly salary of one stone, and those who had a wife had six dou, and each stone was given five cents of silver. Later, Ma Shunqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue of Nanjing, asked to reduce the price of silver. Last year, the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue of Nanjing asked to replenish the monthly salary of the wife's house, and then paid the salary to delay the period."

After a pause, Huang Maoguan added: "Nanjing Ministry of Revenue requested to reduce the silver discount, on the grounds that the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue deposited grain and the treasury and silver was sent to Beijing. However, since last year, Zhenhai Tax Bank has been returned to the Taicang warehouse every three months, and the Ministry of Revenue borrowed from Nandu."

Now the matter is clear... Huang Maoguan was almost talking directly. Nanjing Minister of Revenue Ma Kun deducted the salary of soldiers again and again, forcing the Zhenwu Camp mutiny.

Yan Song did not look at Xu Jie at all, but said slowly: "When Xu Fu made the old monthly grain and paid silver, the riots should not be tolerated. If the leader is secretly arrested, we will discuss the responsibility of the Nandu Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War."

In fact, Zhenwu Camp basically did not play any role in pacifying the Japanese in the southeast. Only Liu Xian, the current deputy general of Jiangxi, was born in Zhenwu Camp, but the soldiers brought with them were all useless. Liu Xian was defeated several times in Zhejiang and was also ineffective.
