Chapter 161

"support?"

"I support him."

Under the dim candlelight, Xu Ying, who stayed in Beijing, waiting for Zhang Juzheng's reply about the marriage, pulled her face and almost uttered swear words.

And after he heard that Cheng Jiulai told him about Zhang Juzheng's decision to implement the government-gentry system to pay food and errands, and told the ruling ministers that Xu Jie had already privately said that if Zhang Juzheng continued to reform, the Xu family would continue to support and cooperate.

"It's fine if you don't support it."

"Our master just asked me to confirm it, and let Mr. Xu know by the way."

"Once Jiangling decides that officials and gentry should pay food and errands together, it means that the matter is irreversible!"

"At least, there is no doubt that after asking His Majesty to meet Qi, Li and others when visiting the mausoleum, he has already communicated with them;"

"On Gongqing's side, people like Wang Yangcheng and Zhang Xinzhai are eager for Jiangling to do this, and even want to take this opportunity to transfer taxes to the Ministry of Households, and not allow them to be kept locally!"

Cheng Jiu nodded at this moment and started talking.

Xu Ying gritted her teeth after hearing this, and said, "Dang Zhang is hateful!"

Then, Xu Ying asked Cheng Jiu: "Brother, is there anything else you want to say?"

"and also."

Cheng Jiuyan said.

Xu Ying hurriedly cupped his hands to Cheng Jiu and said, "Please tell me clearly, I will definitely do it!"

Cheng Jiuyan said: "My master said, the capital, it is not good for him to call Wang Zhongbo (Wang Jiaping) directly to the mansion to inquire, as long as he stays away from the place where the emperor is standing, he can do things well;"

"When the old man returns to the south, please go to Guide to meet Shen Zhonghua, find a way to pry his mouth open, and ask him, is Jiangling doing this at the emperor's behest, or is Jiangling really wanting to kill himself? , insist on doing something like this to offend the gentlemen of the world?!"

"Don't worry, I'll take a boat to guide right now!"

Xu Ying replied.

Cheng Jiu nodded: "I don't want to stay for a long time. Now that I am guarding the post, the slaves need to register their reasons for coming in and out. If I stay for a long time, I will be suspected of passing the news."

After speaking, Cheng Jiu left.

After the ruling ministers moved into the official residence, it did cause a lot of obstacles for them and their family members and children in Beijing to seek personal gain.

Because the official residence is guarded by Jin Yiwei, in the name of defending them, showing them the gate of the official residence compound.

Instead of their house slaves watching the gate.

Therefore, they often have to be registered when they go out with their family members and children in Beijing.

Visiting officials are also required to register and are required to explain the reason for their visit.

Cheng Jiu, as Zhang Siwei's domestic slave, could only come out to give Zhang Siwei a message, but could not bring any received gifts into the mansion, nor could he stay outside for a long time.

Of course, this also shows that even the best system is not perfect after all.

There will still be opportunities for people to exploit loopholes.

Cheng Jiu was still able to come out in the name of purchasing, and informed Xu Ying of the government news.

However, you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

The people in Dongchang and Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi were no longer vegetarian organizations after the emperor paid them enough money, and from time to time they gave out additional money for year-end rewards.

"Is this pear bun sweet?"

"Naturally sweetened!"

"Follow up and see where this Chengjiu will go!"

"In addition, record the fact that Cheng Jiu from Zhang Ge's hometown went to Pinyue Tower for half a stick of incense today and left in a hurry!"

Therefore, the pear vendor pushing a wheelbarrow, at this moment, when a strong man in green shirt came here to pick pears, he glanced at Cheng Jiu who was about to leave in the carriage and spoke.

The burly man in green shirt and cheeks asked the man the price of pears, and he said yes when he nodded.

While the salesman was smirking and quoting the price, he actually called the pear to the strong man, and after trading with him, he specially shouted: "You go slowly!"

Although Cheng Jiu is a domestic slave, he is a sub-assistant domestic slave, so he naturally doesn't look down on commoners like these peddlers and husbands.

Therefore, no matter how cautious he was, he just took a quick glance at the civilians around him, didn't stay long, and didn't find any clues, and then left in a carriage with a sullen face.

When Cheng Jiu returned to the official residence, he put on a smiling face, and handed over a door bag to Xu Wenren, the chief banner officer of Jinyiwei, who was inside the gate of the official residence, and said, "Master Xu, you have worked hard!"

Xu Wenren just nodded, and took the door bag, without saying much.

Cheng Jiu didn't dare to say any more, even when he saw Zhu Nanyong who was very familiar with him coming, he hurriedly dismounted from his horse and let someone bring the carriage into the courtyard of the mansion without saying hello.

It wasn't until after entering the hospital that Cheng Jiu gritted his teeth and muttered: "In the past, someone else gave me a door bag, regardless of whether he was the governor of another province or the official of the two capitals! Now, it's actually me who wants to benefit these Wubian hawk dogs !"

The reason why Zhu Nanyong came to the mansion was because he hadn't met and conspired with a certain elder for a long time.

As a result, although the rumors that Zhang Juzheng intends to implement the system of government and gentry paying food and errands are flying all over the sky, as a four-rank imperial censor, he is still unable to confirm whether the system of government and gentry paying food and errands is really going to be implemented .

Zhu Nanyong really couldn't wait.

Because the powerful officials and gentry behind him couldn't wait.

He also had to put aside the advice of a certain elder for the time being, and bravely came here.

"I have an urgent matter to see Liu Benbing, the assistant minister of Rongzheng, please be accommodating."

Coincidentally, a civil servant also came over at this time, and as he spoke, he took out a meeting ticket and handed it to Xu Wenren: "So, can you not let me register the reason?"

"That won't work! What if you are spotted by other ministers, and after questioning, what do you do if you find that I haven't registered? You still have to abide by the rules you should abide by."

At this time, Xu Wenren did not accept the meeting vote, and rejected the civil servant's request.

The civil servant had to register.

Seeing this, Zhu Nanyong had no choice but to leave here angrily, and gave up the idea of ​​breaking into the mansion by bribing Jin Yiwei.

And after going back.

Zhu Nanyong wrote memorials to impeach others.

He wanted to impeach Xu Wenren, guarding the General Banner of Jinyiwei, who was on duty at the official residence, for accepting bribes from officials and slaves who came in and out, and sneered and slandered:

"Since this official residence system allows you Jinyiwei to collect money and not dare to break the rules, then I can only take this opportunity to clear up your Jinyiwei who are greedy for ink, and continue to let Your Majesty know that I dare to speak out and expose all the crimes of corruption and ink. !"

Therefore, the next day, Zhu Yijun received a report from Zhu Nanyong on impeaching Xu Wenren in the west room of the Wenhua Palace, and after reading it, he said to Zhang Juzheng: "Since there are people in Jinyiwei who accept bribes, then the Let this person be dismissed according to the law and sent to prison for examination!"

"According to the order!"

Zhang Juzheng bowed his hands and said yes.

Then, Zhu Yijun said again: "This Zhu Nanyong dares to speak out, even my eagle dog dares to participate. In this case, sir, remember to give him an edict to encourage him."

Because Zhang Hong was suffering from the cold, Zhang Jing, who replaced Zhang Hong in Wenhua Palace, couldn't help but look down.

Zhang Juzheng flattered him because of this: "I will not show favoritism because my close ministers accept bribes, and I will not cover up my close ministers because of impeaching officials. Your Majesty's move is extremely decisive! It is indeed possible to personally judge the state affairs!"

It's just that Zhang Jing's face became even uglier because of this.

Because no matter what Xu Wenren said, he was still his subordinate, and it was up to the master to beat the dog. Even though the emperor was impartial, what about his own face?

Therefore, Zhang Jing secretly hated Zhu Nanyong.

Zhu Yijun just smiled lightly, and then said to Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, I am naturally happy in my heart, but I know that it is not enough to deal with state affairs fairly and clearly, especially if you want to do something."

As he said that, Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Juzheng: "Sir, I must have seen that there have been a lot of ink books in Shangshu opposing the cancellation of preferential exemptions recently, and there are many of them who speak violently."

"Although the opponents are not officials in important positions, most of them are Qingliu such as the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College; but it can also be seen that the abolition of preferential exemptions is indeed a violation of the world's officials and gentry. opposed."

"What's more, the imperial edict has not yet been issued, so so many people have heard the news, so it seems that among the ruling ministers, there are also dissatisfied with this policy, but they just don't object on the surface, but they pass the news secretly. out."

"So, it is obviously difficult for officials and gentry to pay food and errands together, and it should be more difficult than Qingzhang."

"But in this case, if you want to do it, how to do it, you have to give me some guidance, so that I will not be confused, and it will be beneficial for my relatives to govern the country in the future!"

Zhu Yijun then spoke bluntly.
