Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Seven The Chief of the Rites to Send the Tax Soldiers
The eighth-rank Wenhua Palace's secretary is a sacrificial title.
Ye Xianggao is not kind.
Judging from Wang Tigan's description, Liangchen felt that Wanli was worthy of him, and the one who was sorry for him was Ye Xianggao.
If you are appointed as the Secretary of the Cabinet according to the original intention of Wanli, although you are a messy person, you can get a title if you have to survive for a few years.
And according to Li Yongzhen, although the position of the Minister of the Cabinet is low, it can get a lot of oil and water. The reason is that the assistant minister of the Cabinet, Chen is in and out of Shen, and the office is in the cabinet, and the person who has obtained the results is only written by the Secretary of the Cabinet.
It means that any documents drafted by the cabinet are directly drafted by the Secretary of the Central Committee and then discussed by the Bachelor. The Secretary of the Cabinet can also read the various memorials sent by each department in advance or secretly observe them. If outsiders want to know the matter and cannot learn from the Bachelor, they will find ways to bribe these Secretary of the Central Committee of the Central Committee. In this way, the gains will naturally be considerable.
In addition, the two houses also participated in the translation of foreign documents and classified archives, which was of great responsibility. It was by no means comparable to the two houses with false titles.
In addition to the considerable investment, Li Yongzhen mentioned another benefit that made Liangchen hate Ye Xianggao to the core. That is, as long as the two houses of the Secretariat have been in the examination for seven years and the Shangguan has no bad reviews, he will be allowed to take the exam once.
This is the treatment of a juren. If the opportunity is good, you can take the palace examination in one go. By chance, it is not impossible to win a Jinshi. From then on, it will not be a mess, but a right path.
Unfortunately, Ye Xianggao Yiyan lost these benefits.
I don’t know where I offended this husband, such a bad person and good thing.
At this point, good ministers have no other way, so they can only make the eighth-grade Wenhua Palace servants.
Even if he has opinions and complaints, he cannot vent it. Because, the chief assistant Ye Xianggao has been working for seven years. From then on, after Apocalypse ascended the throne, the leader of the Donglin Party would come out to wander again. At that time, his opponent was the second uncle.
However, Liangchen was still very satisfied with the matter. In addition to sending him a special trip, Wang Tigan also brought the emperor's oral order, which was to allow him to go to Fushun to investigate Gao Huai's debts. In terms of the official position, this task is called "co-organizing the food, money and money matters."
The Liang minister didn’t know who the organizer was, and Wang Tigan didn’t know. The candidate was sent by the court, not the inner court.
With just speaking, it is impossible for the good ministers to go to Fushun like this.
Ye Xianggao gave the emperor some face. After discounting Wei Liangchen's two rooms, he made a discount to the Secretariat of the Secretariat of the Two Halls, he issued a document to the Ministry of War. This document was almost sent to the Liaodong Dusi of Chenyang.
In addition to asking Liaodong Dushi to appease the military changes after the rebellion, and to find out that Gao Huai's all kinds of crimes over the years have been reported to the court truthfully, the official document also told Wei Liangchen, the two hall clans, to go to Fushun to investigate the chaos in the right guard of Jianzhou and to seek money according to the custody.
Li Yongzhen was eager to know what Gao Huai was going to happen, so he asked: "Does the prince know how the emperor said to Eunuch Gao?"
Wang Tigan Road: "Eunuch Gao has been recalled to Beijing by the emperor." He paused for a moment, "The imperial edict will be sent to close the door soon."
“That’s good.”
Li Yongzhen nodded, feeling completely relieved, because although the rioters closed down the door and did not make things difficult for them in the past two days, he looked at the morale of the army and was still suspicious, and many officers and soldiers were still suspicious. If the emperor did not handle it well, the aftermath of the change would not be eliminated. Even, he and Wei Liangchen, the little "angel", were likely to become the target of the rioters' venting and become the second Gao Huai.
Now the emperor is decisively dealing with Gao Huai. The rioters have no reason to cause chaos, so it is impossible for them to cause trouble again. It is just...
Li Yongzhen sighed secretly. In recent years, whenever something happened to the mine supervision commissioner's garrison, the final result was either the sent father-in-law were killed or the emperor was forced to deal with the mine supervision commissioner under pressure from the outside court. Several times back and forth, the mine supervision commissioner probably wouldn't last long.
Lips and teeth are cold.
As a member of the inner court, Li Yongzhen was naturally sad and pitiful about Gao Huai's fate.
No matter what, Gao Huai was in Liao for ten years and had no contributions and hard work. Now he was abolished by the Liaodong civil and military officials, while the inner court had no power to fight back, nor could it have the power to suppress it. The emperor was powerless, which was disappointing.
This is Li Yongzhen's idea. Liangchen's idea is much simpler, causing military changes and border chaos. In addition, Liaodong civil and military officials and military officials participated in the expulsion of Gao Huai, so Gao Huai could not continue working in Liaodong.
This military revolution needs to be explained.
Not to mention that Gao Huai was provoked by himself, even if it wasn't him, in order to calm public anger and calm the morale of the army, Gao Huai's fall was inevitable.
What Liangchen is concerned about now is not what has anything to do with Gao Huai's fall, but whether the last sentence he said to Wanli was taken seriously.
So he asked Wang Tiqian: "Why is the Liaodong Mine Supervisor?"
Wang Tiqian said: "The emperor has ordered Zhang Ye, the chief of Tongwan Taxation Bureau, to take charge of Liaodong affairs."
"Zhang Ye?" Li Yongzhen was shocked when she heard the name of this person, "Who is guarding Datong?"
Wang Tiqian nodded and said, "No, it's this Eunuch Zhang."
"If Eunuch Zhang comes to Liaodong, he will be able to shock the people who close the door." Li Yongzhen said sincerely.
Liangchen didn't know who Zhang Ye was, but seeing that Li Yongzhen and Wang Tiqian looked admirable, he couldn't help but become curious and asked Li Yongzhen what kind of immortal this Eunuch Zhang was.
"Eunuch Zhang was the chief eunuch of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. In the 24th year, he served as the eunuch of the Datong Governor. In the 34th year, the emperor originally sent him to Nanjing as the governor, but Eunuch Zhang said that the national economy is difficult and the national treasury is empty. The world says that the emperor and the people compete for profit, and they make everyone beat the mining surveillance. As a slave in the inner court, how could he not work for the emperor? How could he make the emperor worry about money and food every day, so he asked himself to be the Tongwan Tax Supervisor."
Tongwan Tax Supervision, full name is the Supervisor Tong (Zhangjiawan) Tax Supervision.
Tongzhou is the northern destination for grain transportation, and it is the most prosperous in the world. There has never been a tax customs here before, because the outside court said that Tongzhou is busy and is a heavy place for grain transportation. If a checkpoint tax is set, it will cause congestion in ships and difficult for goods to reach the capital. More importantly, it will cause the accumulation of rice and grain in the south to be stuck in Tongzhou, which is not conducive to the transfer of the imperial court. Therefore, in order to facilitate grain transportation, it will not cause trouble for merchants and people, tax customs cannot be set up here.
Such a prosperous commercial transportation is transited in important places, but there is no money for taxes, which is unreasonable no matter how you look at it. Zhang Ye asked to set up a tax customs in Tongwan, which is undoubtedly a big deal and courageous one.
Moreover, compared with the eunuchs in the Nandu governor, the Tongwan Taxation Supervisor is simply one heaven and one earth. Nanjing is the capital of the capital, and the six ministries and nine ministers are like Beijing, but in name only two people are the real presidency, one is the eunuchs in the Nandu governor, and the other is the Minister of War of Nanjing.
Zhang Ye gave up the high position of being a governor of the eunuch in Nandu and was willing to collect taxes under the stigma and pressure in Tongzhou. This courage and mind alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Therefore, Li Yongzhen and Wang Tiqian believe that Eunuch Zhang can definitely be shocked by the situation as the Liaodong Mining Supervision Commissioner.
At least, it will not be worse than Gao Huai.
After Wang Tigan finished his mission, he did not stay at Shanhaiguan and returned to the capital that day. Tian Gang and Li Wei still stayed to accompany Wei Liangchen to Fushun.
On the way back to Shanhaiguan with Li Yongzhen from Weibao, Wei Liangchen told him something.
"By the way, Eunuch Li, can you write a letter to Chenyang on my behalf? I want Li Yongfang, the governor of Fushun, to accompany me to the right guard of Jianzhou."
Li Yongzhen stopped beating the horse and said in confusion: "Wei Sheren knows that Li Yongfang?"
"know."
Liangchen smiled and did not say much to Li Yongzhen. Since he is now a clerk in the two halls, he certainly has the power to write to the Liaodong Dusi. However, the commander-in-chief Li Chengliang, who had the title of Grand Tutor, ignored him and agreed to his request. It was another matter.
"I'll do it when I go back."
Li Yongzhen didn't say much. In the past few days, this small case leader who had been a member of the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat had too many things that he was puzzled. As for visiting this garrison under the jurisdiction of Shanhai Guard today, Wei Liangchen seemed to be particularly interested in border affairs, and was also interested in garrison equipment, personnel composition and local production.
Moreover, he has been asking Li Wei to collect information about the left and right guards of Jianzhou in the past two days, as if he is very interested in the Nurhaci who dares to lead troops to collect money, which makes Li Yongzhen very confused.
However, since he was ordered to accompany Wei Liangchen to Liaodong, he would do whatever he ordered. He would not care too much about things that he should not care about. As long as Wei Sheren should not be too out of line.
When he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Li Yongzhen thought of something and said to Wei Liangchen: "Wei Sheren, the servants of Wenhua Palace, were often selected as good books and scholars, and had three years of food. Although they were not as mixed, it was difficult to get promoted and added to the title, which was much worse than the two houses of the Secretariat. But Wei Sheren must not give up on themselves, because if there is a title for the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Personnel can also be given a position."
"Can Eunuch Li explain it more clearly?" Liang Chen steadily pulled the horse and looked at Li Yongzhen. Tian Gang and Li Wei who were following behind also quickly pulled the horse and almost bumped into it.
Li Yongzhen smiled and said, "If Wei Sheren can get to know the palace, it is not difficult to get promoted."
"Eunuch Li means that there are people in the palace, and my two halls are still promising?" Liang Chen pondered about Li Yongzhen's meaning.
"Wei Sheren is favored by the Imperial Concubine. If you want to send the title to the Ministry of Personnel, it depends on whether Wei Sheren has that intention."
“Um…”
The good minister pondered and said nothing. If Li Yongzhen said something was true, then he could naturally influence the Silijian through Concubine Zheng and send him the title to the Ministry of Personnel, so that he could be promoted to the official position. But in this way, he would be firmly tied to Concubine Zheng.
It is a disaster and a blessing, and it is unknown.
"I'll talk about this in the future. I'll ask Eunuch Li to help you. There are some things that Liangchen doesn't understand very well." Liangchen nodded at Li Yongzhen with a smile. There was a eunuch who knew the laws and regulations and was familiar with the inner court and the outer court to help him advise him, and he benefited a lot.
"When will Wei Sheren go to Fushun?" Li Yongzhen changed the topic just now.
Liangchen said, "I want to go and meet Zhang Hu first."
"Zhang Hu?"
