Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1478 The imperial order is here

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded his head. In fact, all of this was expected.

   "Someone needs to break this situation."

   People like Jiang Yan value the name most. Therefore, they do things in a very secretive way. It is really not easy to find out something from him.

  He paused: "Xuan Jiangyan see you."

  There is a strange atmosphere in the whole court.

   Liu Jian went to recuperate, and the other two cabinet bachelors were reprimanded.

   You must know that under normal circumstances, ministers who have been warned have to ask for a speech.

  Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi's attitude towards the three academicians became cold, and the absence of the holy family caused many people to have different associations.

   Mr. Liu and others, I am afraid that after this year, it is time to retire and return home.

  His Majesty has grown tired of the current cabinet.

   And next, who can succeed Liu Jian and others?

   A group of ministers headed by Ouyang Zhi are all from the sect of Xishan, and His Majesty thinks highly of them.

   It's just a pity...

  They are too junior.

  Even if Ouyang Zhi became Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so far, many people still criticize him.

   What's more, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials is not yet hot.

   Therefore, Ouyang Zhiren and others may have little hope.

  Once someone enters the cabinet, a new position may be vacated. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

  To be precise, Jiang Yan is not an ordinary censor, he is the censor of Qiandu, not only noble, but also of high grade, he is the fourth grade.

  Of course, it’s nothing to be a fourth grade, but if it’s in the Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it’s another matter.

The Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are the most noble places. The fourth-rank officials here, if they are placed outside, are the third-rank officials, and even the local chief envoys. glance.

  Now, His Majesty suddenly called.

   And at this juncture.

  Suddenly, Jiang Yan felt honored.

   Colleagues looked sideways and praised.

  Someone commented in a low voice: "Could it be that...soon, His Majesty will determine the team for the new cabinet after the year. In addition, there are candidates for the new ministries?"

   This is not impossible. The emperor is the emperor and the courtiers, and so is the cabinet. With a new cabinet bachelor, it is bound to have new arrangements for various ministries.

   "This Jiang Yushi dares to speak out and commit crimes. He is upright and has a clear style. This is well known by everyone. What's more, he is humble. His Majesty knows him, and it should be taken for granted. I'm afraid Jiang Yushi is about to soar into the sky."

  …

  Jiang Yan entered the palace, went to Fengtian Hall, and bowed down: "I have seen Your Majesty, long live my emperor."

  Hongzhi looked at him with a smile on his face: "I have read Qing's impeachment memorial."

   "Your Majesty, I speak uprightly. If there is something crazy, I hope Your Majesty will correct me."

  Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Then according to Qing's opinion, what should be done to return the spoils is fair."

"Naturally, they are treated equally. The key issue in the matter of returning stolen goods is that the imperial court actually allowed the Xishan Bank to distribute them, so that although the accounts are clear, in fact, there are too many dirty places. "

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded and nodded: "I have also heard about these things. There are not a few people who impeached this matter. From this point of view, the stolen goods are returned by mistake."

   "Wrong, big mistake." Jiang Yan said seriously.

  Emperor Hongzhi looked at Jiang Yan with a smile: "If I order the Qing family to preside over the return of stolen goods, can the Qing family be fair?"

  Jiang Yan was overjoyed, and suddenly felt that happiness came too fast.

  Damn it... I'm about to make a fortune.

   His Majesty suddenly let him preside over such a big event, and overturned the previous return of spoils, which shows His Majesty's trust in him.

   Moreover, at this juncture, letting myself be responsible for this matter also shows that His Majesty Qi Guogong has doubts.

   So, is this a test for yourself?

  Once next spring, the cabinet is overthrown, and many important personnel candidates will start to evaluate again.

  And if he manages this matter well, then... a bright future is in front of him.

   Of course, Jiang Yan does not hope that he will have the opportunity to join the cabinet, but at least, if some ministers enter the cabinet, he still has the opportunity to be promoted to the cabinet. The first one, how prominent?

  Jiang said kowtowing: "If the minister bears the great trust of His Majesty, he must go through fire and water and die to serve."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Xiao Jing.

  Xiao Jing stepped forward: "Jiang Yan, accept the order."

  Jiang Yan felt that his heart was about to jump out, and then kowtowed, solemnly: "I...accept the order."

  ...

  Jiang Yan walked out of the Meridian Gate holding the imperial decree, and was filled with emotion at once. The fate of people is so strange. Not long ago, he was just a little-known person, and now...

   Having received such an important mission, Jiang Yan immediately went to pay homage to his master.

  The common relationships in the officialdom can be described as intricate, everyone has their own master, has their own protégés and old officials, this matter cannot be done by him alone.

   After that, Jiang Yan, the imperial envoy, went to the Xishan Bank to ask for the account books of the Xishan Bank and conduct a thorough investigation again.

  Then...the news was released, Jiang Yan was sent by the imperial court to Xishan in person to meet Qi Guogong Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan never expected that this Jiang Yan would restart the return of stolen goods, which made him very surprised.

   Your Majesty took the wrong medicine?

   Or, the distilled wine, is it fake wine?

  Jiang Yan met Fang Jifan and saluted with a smile: "Your Majesty has met Qi Guogong."

  Fang Jifan didn't even look at him.

  Jiang Yan has a very good temper, and said patiently: "The official ordered to return the stolen goods again. There are some accounts at Xishan Bank, which are not correct, so..."

   "Get out!"

  Jiang Yan was not annoyed, he seemed to have expected it long ago, and got this result: "Qi Guogong, the next official is ordered by the emperor, and I still hope Qi Guogong..."

   "Come here, beat this dog-like thing out."

  Jiang Yan's expression changed, and he ran away immediately.

  He was still in shock, left the west mountain, got into the carriage, heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help showing a cold look on his face: "Hehe...see how long you are crazy."

   Wait for Jiang Yan to return to his mansion.

  The entrance of the Jiangfu is already overcrowded.

  Jiang Yan got off the car.

The steward of the Jiang Mansion immediately stepped forward and said, "My lord, today, more than seventy people came to pay their respects, and the villain's hands were sore after receiving this name card. And... Chen Gong and Zheng Gong, they also Here we come, the villain knows that these two are honored guests, so let them wait in the hall."

  This is what it feels like to hold power.

  People who used to ignore him, now, when they hear the news, they all gather around like mad dogs.

  Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for?

Jiang Yan really wanted to show some modesty, but he still couldn't help revealing the pride in his bones: "Old man, let's go see Mr. Chen and Mr. Zheng first. As for these people outside, I think they all ask the old man to do things. Alright, let Gyantse entertain you."

   "Master?" The steward was stunned for a moment, frowning: "Young master has a bad temper. Didn't the master say that you shouldn't let him..."

  Jiang Yan said lightly: "In the past, I asked him to stop entertaining guests because he was afraid that he would offend people by speaking out, but now... Is the old man still afraid that he will offend people?"

  The steward suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, my lord's advice."

  …

  There are many people who ask Jiang Yan to do things.

  In fact, the vast majority of people are the victims of this refund.

  It’s all good, but 40% is gone. This is a lot of money, not a small amount.

   There are quite a few people who thought that, relying on their own identities, they would seek profit in Ruyi Bank, and even if something happened to Ruyi Bank, they would never dare to lose their money.

  But this time, I really want to cry but have no tears.

   Now hearing that His Majesty is going to re-investigate and return the stolen goods, many people who had knocked out their front teeth and swallowed them in the past suddenly became excited.

   Time is turning.

  Looks like...there is still play.

  Thus, countless letters and famous posts entered Jiangfu like snow.

  Jiang Yan treated the guests one by one, and heard countless people complaining, all of them were crying bitterly, thinking that he was also a victim, Jiang Yan knew it in his heart.

   There are many civil and military officials involved here, and there are many people who cannot afford to offend.

  This time, I return the spoils again. In a sense, it is not only a chance for Your Majesty to practice, but also...

   At this moment, Jiang Yan's excited forehead showed blue veins.

  This is a great opportunity to buy people's hearts.

   This thing is done.

   I don’t know how many people are grateful to themselves.

  In the court, not only will I have a foothold, but also... the number of people who have received my favor will be countless. At that time, everyone will speak well of themselves, and their future prospects will be limitless.

   In a few days.

  The imperial minister Jiang Yan sent someone to set up a list.

  All stolen money will be returned and the stolen money will need to be redistributed.

  Anyone who does not return the stolen money will be punished as stealing public funds.

   Immediately afterwards, a charter was sent to the palace, imploring the emperor's permission.

  …

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help laughing when he saw the new regulations, but after laughing, he became cold again, and he sent the regulations to Xiao Jing: "You have a look."

   Xiao Jing only glanced at the charter and shuddered: "This Jiang Yan is crazy."

Yes.

  All the stolen money will be taken back and reissued. First, make up for the large amount of deficiency, such as the palace, such as Shouninghou people, who have invested ten thousand taels of silver, all will be returned.

  As for the small amount, because there is too little silver, the remaining silver will be disposed of.

   "Your Majesty, why is this person so ignorant?"

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled, and suddenly, his eyes fell on the emperor's grandson Zhu Zaimo in the corner.

   Zhu Zaimo managed to finish school, came out of the research institute, and came to see his eldest father. Now he is setting up a small case, holding a charcoal pencil with his head down, and doing calculations.

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and said: "If Xiao Banban doesn't understand this question, you can ask Zai Mo. Zai Mo was taught by Fang Jifan. If you think about it, you must have the answer in your heart."

  The grandson of the emperor... knows the answer.

   Xiao Jing looked suspicious, and couldn't help but look at Zhu Zaimo.

   Zhu Zaimo heard these words clearly, got up, and saluted Emperor Hongzhi.
