Chapter 818: Wang Cannon

Nanyang seems to be uneasy, and the Guangdong officialdom is also full of gunpowder, and it is even a tense posture.

"When I first arrived in Guangdong, I didn't see the water of the Pearl River, but I talked about mountains and rivers and silver, what is the difference between being greedy and favoritizing money?"

"The matter of the silver mine, don't ask the gentleman, I believe in the villain, you are a hypocrite?"

"I have been in office for less than a day and night, but I attack the old man and be greedy, and you are blind and blind."

"Guangdong was originally a place to live in peace, but there was a flood in Zhang, which was really a disaster for the two Guangzhous."

……

What people never expected was that Wang Bai, the political envoy of Guangdong Zuobu, who had always cultivated his mind, seemed to have been ignited with a powder keg, and he directly attacked the new governor of Liangguang in a series of notes.

It is said that the fact that the ban on the silver mine was not issued was revealed, either to justify and wash itself away, or to deny it to death, but Wang Bai did not do this, but scolded Zhang Zhen in a bad way.

This kind of behavior is less of the style of a humble gentleman and more of the recklessness of a mountain villager. But Wang Bai's point of attack is not untargeted, and Zhang Zhen immediately played impeachment when he first arrived, which really left people with a handle.

Wang Bai took advantage of Zhang Zhen's mistake to bomb indiscriminately, and he was not afraid of offending the new governor of Liangguang at all, and even made the contradictions between the two public.

Not to mention the officials in Guangdong, the entire Ming Dynasty is afraid that they will be stunned, this is not the Wang Bai they are familiar with at all, let alone a norm in the Ming officialdom.

I don't know who is behind the scenes, or if I really appreciate Wang Bai's move, or if I just want to disgust Yan Dang for pushing the elderly Zhang Zhen to the position of governor of Liangguang, which caused this criticism of Zhang Zhen to spread throughout the Ming officialdom.

Surprisingly, the officialdom applauded mostly, and gave Wang Bai the title of "Wang Cannon".

But I have to say that Wang Bai's fierce counterattack is very clever, although it is impossible to let the imperial court investigate Zhang Zhen, but it can be enough to embarrass the new governor of Liangguang Zhang Zhen.

It is said that Zhang Zhen not only dropped the purple clay pot this time, but also smashed everything that could be smashed in the study.

If Wang Bai defends himself or prevaricates, he will be able to win the reputation of the governor of Liangguang and Guangxi, and he will be able to establish the authority of the governor of Liangguang with the help of this first fire.

But he never expected that Wang Bai did not play cards according to common sense, but instead deducted titles such as "greedy man", "hypocrite", "blind man", "Zhang Honghong", etc., which caused him to be implicated, and his personal reputation was greatly affected.

The most important thing is that he fell out with Wang Bai when he first arrived, which undoubtedly made it more difficult for him to carry out his work in Guangdong.

This incident is full of weirdness, and the other party, the Guangzhou prefect, Lin Haoran, is surprisingly quiet, not only did not choose to justify and shirk, but also did not follow Wang Bai to criticize Zhang Zhen, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.

It's just that this heated controversy naturally needs someone to calm it down, and the matter undoubtedly goes to the cabinet.

There is no Yi Palace, the cabinet is on duty, and the sandalwood is curling.

"Yan Shifan, how do you think this matter should be voted for?" Yan Song lay on the chair and listened to Yan Shifan's statement of a newly submitted impeachment of Wang and Lin, obviously with the intention of the assessment.

As he gets older, he no longer does everything himself, but chooses to hand over the matter to Yan Shifan. Now many backbones of the Yan Party are directly under Yan Shifan's orders, and Yan Song has retreated into the background.

"Guangdong is really bold, and they dare not issue the ban of the imperial court, so they should be suspended and investigated!" Yan Shifan snorted coldly and said solemnly.

Although the ban on the seizure of silver mines was not proposed by Yan Shifan, it was related to the interests of the Ministry of Industry, and it made a lot of money from it. Yan Shifan naturally wanted to protect it, how could he let a group of greedy pariahs steal the silver mine?

Now, the officials in Guangdong are just pressing the ban and not implementing it, and they even scolded their spokesman for the strict party, Zhang Zhen, to the point of blood, and Yan Shifan hated this Wang Bai in his heart.

As for the other Lin Haoran, who seemed silent, he also didn't plan to let it go, he had already seen this kid unpleasant. Now that I have this opportunity, I will naturally clean it up together.

Yan Song sighed lightly, faintly with a hint of hope, and said seriously: "Although Wang Bai's words are not unreasonable, they are not completely unreasonable, I am afraid that there is really another hidden truth in this!" ”

"Dad, are you too protective of Guangdong? This ban on silver was issued, and all provinces implemented it, Jiangxi has already been implemented, why is Guangdong still slow to move, those officials obviously did not take the court in their eyes! Yan Shifan said excitedly.

However, we have to admit that Guangdong is indeed to blame, and the work of seizing silver mines is obviously lagging behind that of other provinces. Wang Bai and Lin Haoran do have to bear a certain amount of political responsibility in this matter.

Yan Song slowly narrowed his eyes, but asked calmly: "Yan Shifan, do you want to solve the current problem, or do you simply punish others?" ”

Yan Shifan naturally belongs to the latter, he just wants to severely punish the Guangdong officials who don't hear of it, but naturally he won't say what he thinks. The power he has at the moment is mainly because he is his father's spokesperson, and he needs his father's absolute trust at the moment.

As soon as he thought of this, he said in a slightly soothing tone: "Dad, isn't this matter obvious?" They did not follow the ban of the imperial court, if they were not severely punished this time, where would the prestige of the imperial court be? ”

"The punishment is still in a hurry, let's listen to their arguments first, and see what is going on!" Yan Song shook his head slowly and said with a firm mind.

"Dad, you are clearly biased towards the Guangdong side and the kid!" Yan Shifan saw that he couldn't convince his father, and immediately stretched his face and accused.

Ahem......

Yan Song coughed a few times, raised his thin hand and waved, "I don't show favoritism to anyone, I just follow the process!" I'm sleepy, if there's anything serious, wake me up right away! ”

"Yes!" Although Yan Shifan was very angry, he still gave up his hand.

Not long after Yan Song fell asleep, the little eunuch Feng Bao came to urge the playbook. Seeing that Yan Song was sleeping, he also came in lightly, and followed Yan Shifan to explain his intention in a whisper.

Yan Shifan sent Feng Bao away first and asked him to come back later. I wanted to wake up my father and tell him about it, but seeing that my father was sleeping deeply, I made up my mind to hand over the book directly to Feng Bao.

I just saw the previous transcript, but I tore off the original note and wrote a new piece of paper and pasted it on it.

This seemingly small move undoubtedly has a strong impact on Guangdong officialdom.
