Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

It's even better when there's a big shot behind it.

"My lord, the lower officials have inquired. Zhang Huangyan's father was a former court official, Wailang... and the same group of officials as Zhang Huangyan were all assigned to the northern provinces. Only Zhang Huangyan was appointed by the Ministry of Officials and assigned to Liao Province."

"Subsequently, after less than two years as an official in Dingbian County, Liao Province, he was promoted to Quanzhou Shipping Department by leapfrogging.

When the official's voice fell, the smile on the corner of Hong Chengchou's mouth froze instantly.

Such a promotion process, not to mention a mere Yuanwailang, even the son of the chief minister of the cabinet, could not be promoted in this way.

Ninth grade and eighteen levels, each level needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials... as we all know, the Ministry of Officials...is directly under the Emperor, and the Son of Heaven is...the Minister of the Ministry of Officials!

Such a promotion can be called soaring, and it is also a transfer across the country. Without the emperor's nod, the two ministers on the left and right of the official department dared not act like this!

Who is behind Zhang Huangyan?In other words, who cultivated Zhang Huangyan?

This is undoubtedly very clear...

Hong Chengchou's face was serious, and he was not playing tricks, and solemnly ordered: "This matter is on hold, don't participate!"

"Your Majesty understands."

The officials hurriedly led away, and Hong Chengchou stood in the hall, his expression seemed to be worried, entangled and eager to try...

But at this time, in the cabinet minister's mansion, the cabinet minister Liu Qiyuan seemed to have a gloomy face at the moment.

In front of him, the eldest son and son, who had not taken off their official robes, knelt in the hall with puzzled faces.

"Father, what's the matter, I didn't do anything wrong?"

"That's right, Dad, I've been very honest these days..."

The two sons asked each other in doubt.

"Bastards! What the hell are you doing without telling me?"

"Is our family short of that little money?"

Liu Qiyuan couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and slammed the tax file in front of his two sons.

The two sons picked up the dossier suspiciously, flipped through it, and the two couldn't help showing joy, and then asked even more suspiciously: "Father, it's a good thing, the third brother has made great contributions, the first taxpayer in the country, this What a great contribution!"

"It's such a great event, we have to set up two tables in our house, let's celebrate it!"

"Father, why are you angry!"

Listening to the two sons singing together, Liu Qiyuan's face became more and more gloomy.

"Is this a good thing?"

Liu Qiyuan asked: "Do you think this is a good thing?"

"Father, the third brother has made meritorious service, isn't that a good thing?"

"That's right, Dad, the third brother handles such a big eucalyptus, isn't it a good thing?"

"Stupid! Stupid beyond compare!"

Liu Qiyuan scolded angrily!

"Let's take a good look at your eyes, Taxation, why is there a city shipping department involved?"

"How many months has your third brother been in office?"

"The Quanzhou Taxation Department has not been full of officials so far. He just has great ability. In just a few months, with only three or two big and small cats, can he investigate such a big case?"

"Do you think that these commercial firms can be handled by a director of the taxation department who has just been transferred a few months ago?"

"Does he think that the whole world is a fool!"

"You two, are you involved?"

"Father, what are you talking about? What are we involved in? What happened to the third brother?"

"Yes, Dad, why can't I understand what you are saying?"

"Isn't the evidence clear and clear? Even if there is something wrong with the third brother, he has made a great contribution!"

Liu Qiyuan's whole body was trembling with anger, and the servants hurriedly supported Liu Qiyuan to sit aside, and after a while, Liu Qiyuan came over a little bit, looked at the two useless sons, and said slowly:

"Evidence? Do you think evidence is important?"

"Do you know how many people in this world are staring at Daddy's butt?"

"Civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and officials all over the world, are not fools. Do they suspect that they need evidence?"

"Your Majesty has become suspicious and needs to tell our family the evidence?"

"You two, where have you lived for a long time? You have been an official for so many years, don't you understand this at all?"

"If you want people not to know, you must do it yourself!"

"Our family, it's best to pray that your third brother didn't do anything stupid!"

After venting his anger, Liu Qiyuan slowly calmed down. After a moment of silence, he looked at the two sons with terrified faces:

"You two, go to Quanzhou as quickly as possible now, find your third brother, and ask me clearly!"

"What did he do in Quanzhou? What's going on with this tax!"

At this time, Liu Hongru and Liu Hongliang were obviously a little more afraid. The eldest son Liu Hongru asked anxiously:

"Father... If the third brother really did something wrong, what should we do?"

"How to do?"

"I want to know what to do too!"

As these words caught his ears, the anger that had just been suppressed in Liu Qiyuan's heart surged up again in an instant.

He has a deep understanding of Wang Wu's mood at the beginning of the year, and this is more than cheating!It's downright stupid!

What a stupid head, thinking that a big case that reaches the sky can be completed smoothly with perfect evidence?

If we really want to talk about evidence in everything, then the vast majority of people who have been massacred and distributed over the years will be safe and sound.

Then these years of court, these years of the world, can restore peace from the troubled times so quickly, can there be a scene of great order?

All civil and military officials doubted, and maybe they needed evidence, but with the suspicion of the emperor, the evidence was a joke!

"Immediately go to the south of the Yangtze River, and go there as an inspector of the censor, and ask what your third brother did. If you really made a mistake, then you should notify Dad as soon as possible..."

Speaking of this, Liu Qiyuan was suddenly silent for a while, and a look of struggle suddenly appeared in his cloudy eyes.

But soon, Liu Qiyuan seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said firmly: "After sending someone to notify father at the first time, I will also send your third brother back to the capital at the first time."

"Remember, no matter what your third brother has done, you must not cover up the slightest bit, and you must do what your father said!"

"Otherwise... think about it carefully. At the beginning of the year, the king of the inner court was in charge of the family. What happened?"

Hearing this, Liu Hongru and Liu Hongliang instantly turned pale and nodded repeatedly:

"Father, don't worry, my son understands."

"Hurry up, time waits for no one, if you go late, everything will be late."

Liu Qiyuan waved his hands weakly, and seeing the two sons stepping back, he couldn't help showing a look of pain in his cloudy eyes.

I hope... things can be as he thought.

I also hope...his youngest son is not the only one who can make such a stupid thing, such an insanely stupid person.

Otherwise, this time, his Liu family is really in danger...

Chapter 636 The Second Possibility 3000

"Your Majesty, Quanzhou urgent report,"

In Qianqing Palace, Er Dezi entered in a hurry.

The emperor put down his pen and looked up at Er Dezi who came in a hurry.

"What's the matter?"

The emperor asked.

"I don't even know this slave, but the Quanzhou Taxation Department rushed to send it over at the post station."

Hearing this, the emperor seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly frowned inadvertently.

He casually took the dossier respectfully handed over by Er Dezi, flipped through it, and the content recorded in the dossier came into the eyes of the emperor.

After reading for a while, the emperor frowned again, and a cold look appeared in his eyes.

The records in the dossier are naturally extremely clear.

From the "secret" investigation by the Quanzhou Taxation Department, to the "unintentional" participation of the Municipal Shipbuilding Department, to the conclusion...

It seems that the situation is very clear, but obviously, the things revealed behind the scenes are naturally not simple!

In just a moment, the emperor put down the dossier that was about to shake the government and the public, and tapped his fingers on the table inadvertently. Although there was a cold look between his eyebrows and eyes, there was no trace of suspicion.

The situation is very normal, but also very strange.

As for what this strangeness is, to the emperor, there is not much mystery.

after all……

Everything about Daheng was personally decided by him.

Everything that happened in Daheng now can follow the rules he set to explore its inevitable evolution.

Just like Wu Xun...

Land reform is the foundation of his governance and the fundamental strategy to solve the ills of the previous Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he expressed his attitude and limited his generals' desire for land.

From Marquis of Zhenbei, to Duke Qin, and then to...Emperor Daheng.

As the saying goes, if there is a loss, there must be a gain. Naturally, it is impossible to be harsh on subordinates blindly.

Restricting the desire for land that has almost penetrated into the blood since ancient times, then he must give sufficient compensation as the superior.

And his compensation for General Wu Xun lies in Shang.

Although this compensation was publicly announced after the establishment of Daheng, the tacit compensation was fully fulfilled as Daheng's rule continued.

Up to now, in Daheng Tianxia, ​​apart from the state-owned business that holds the lifeline of the country, all other industries, as long as they have a small scale, must have the shadow of Wu Xun behind them.

This compensation process is naturally neither legal nor reasonable.

Just like the cleaning of the northern provinces before the reform, so many landlords and gentry whose houses were destroyed, their family properties seemed to be filled into the national treasury or internal funds, but in fact... a considerable part of them fell into the military generals.

Just like the bloody cleansing in the south of the Yangtze River, I don't know how many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries in the former Ming Dynasty were destroyed...

But this time the leader is the General Wu Xun, and the vested interest of the emperor's acquiescence is also the general Wu Xun.

And General Wu Xun...

How could the emperor not know the virtues of this army built by the emperor himself, and the martial arts generals trained by himself.

It is full of calculations, from the early years of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty to the present, it is only in the early ten years.

In just ten years, from a brave guard battalion of less than 2 people to a million-strong army that ruled the entire world, in order to fight against and suppress civilian gentry, the influence of martial arts generals is also great. Far beyond the army, throughout the Daheng world.

To some extent, a group of generals with less than ten years of martial arts is ruling the whole world.

And in this process, many times, he is the one who backfires.

The vast majority of martial arts generals can be regarded as "not worthy of virtue" to some extent.

In other words, the improvement of talents cannot keep up with the speed of promotion.

This kind of phenomenon can be seen everywhere in Daheng World so far.

There are so many people who are unworthy of virtue, and they hold monstrous power and interests, and these people are still wanton and rebellious warriors.

Will they obey the rules honestly?

A wise man knows the situation and the rules.

But virtue is not worthy, talent is not worthy, and if you are rebellious, then you don't necessarily understand the current situation and the rules.

Just like the dossier in front of me...

Even if the emperor has never been to the south of the Yangtze River, even if this is just a tax file, the emperor has probably figured out what is behind it.

General Wu Xun, most of them came from poor families, worked hard in the army for several years, succeeded in taking the position, and then he was transferred to the local government by him, the emperor, to hold important power.
