Taikang Tianzi's movements are fast.

On the third day of Li Xin's apprenticeship, there was a letter in the imperial history of the Imperial History Observatory accusing Ji Mingfang, the right governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, of accepting bribes, robbing people's land, running rampant in the countryside, and committing crimes.

These things are not made up out of thin air.

In fact, these sins are really normal for the clan in the capital, don't say that Ji Mingfang, a military boss, is a clan surnamed Ji in the capital who has deviated from the main vein and doesn't know how far, and has long lost the title, can run rampant in the countryside in the capital, and generally rely on this surname, and no one dares to arrest them.

In comparison, although the title on Ji Mingfang's body has been reduced for three generations, there is still a title of Duke Lu on his body, and he is in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, with a high position and power, and he is quite capable of doing things, for this Duke of Lu, he has only done such a little evil thing, and he is already a good man in the clan.

Originally, no one took this recital in their eyes, until Taikang Tianzi approved this recital, asked the Yamen to strictly investigate, and ordered Jingzhao Mansion to cooperate.

The Son of Heaven leaked his mouth, and the people below naturally knew what to do, and in less than three days, Ji Mingfang's incriminating evidence was verified, and together with the incriminating evidence provided by Jingzhao Mansion, it was sent to the Son of Heaven's desk.

The Son of Heaven was furious and immediately summoned Ji Mingfang into the palace.

In Weiyang Palace, Ji Mingfang knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed to the Son of Taikang: "Minister Ji Mingfang, knock to see Your Majesty." ”

Taikang Tianzi said lukewarmly: "Uncle Clan, get up and speak." ”

Ji Mingfang slowly stood up, bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The Son of Heaven waved his hand, and Xiao Zheng, the eunuch who was accompanying him, immediately placed a stack of documents in front of Ji Ming.

The young Son of Heaven said indifferently: "Uncle Clan, this is your recital from the Imperial History Observatory, and there is evidence of the crime found out by the Yamen, Uncle Clan take a look, but what are the mistakes and omissions?" ”

Ji Mingfang took these documents with both hands, opened them one by one and read them one by one, cautiously raised his head and glanced at Taikang Tianzi, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister has read it, and there are no mistakes or omissions." ”

The Son of Heaven was surprised and said, "What does Uncle Clan mean, you have confessed all these sins?" ”

Ji Mingfang knelt respectfully.

"The minister pleaded guilty."

The right governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion has been fighting in the forbidden army since he was young, and later relied on his identity as a clan member to successfully enter the Dadu Governor's Mansion in the Chengde Dynasty.

But he has been able to work in the Dadu Governor's Mansion for so many years, and it is impossible to say that he completely relies on the identity of the clan, the Ji family has been established for more than a hundred years, and there are tens of thousands of clans surnamed Ji in the capital, and among so many clans, it is not unreasonable for Ji Mingfang to stand out and become a military boss.

At the very least, he knows each other very well.

The Son of Heaven was silent.

If Ji Mingfang refuses to admit his guilt, it will be very easy to deal with, and he will be directly removed from the position of the right governor, and if he has a bad attitude, he can even take the title of Duke of Luguo, but now, this guy has a very good attitude, but it is not easy to deal with.

Taikang Tianzi sighed, walked to the bottom of the imperial steps, stretched out his hand to help this Lu Guogong up, and said softly: "Uncle clan, we are a family, as the head of the family, I should have protected my family, but now that the matter is getting bigger, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the people in the capital know about it, and I can't help but deal with it." ”

Ji Mingfang's attitude was very straightforward.

"No matter what punishment Your Majesty does, the minister willingly confesses his guilt."

The Son of Heaven nodded: "That's it, the clan uncle temporarily relieved himself of the duties of the Dadu Governor's Mansion and rested at home for a while, which will also calm the anger of the people, okay?" ”

Ji Mingfang was shocked.

He originally thought that this kind of trivial matter would be punished for a year or two at most, and he would be able to get over it by losing a little face, but he didn't expect it to go straight to the point of losing his position.

He hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, bowed his head and said, "Minister, obey Your Majesty's orders." ”

Taikang Tianzi sighed slightly.

"Uncle Clan, don't worry, after a while, the limelight will pass, and I will use you to go somewhere else."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

This conversation between the Ji family ended here, and in general, the process was quite harmonious, after all, Ji Mingfang's title was not cut, but he changed from a high-ranking military boss to an idle lord.

The efficiency of the Son of Heaven was very high, and the day after Ji Mingfang was dismissed, the holy decree of promoting Pei Jin as the right governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion was sent to Shangshutai.

Generally speaking, the big and small things in the court, including the holy decree, must be passed through the Shangshutai before they can really become the holy decree, but all political affairs and the political affairs hall can be dismissed, but the appointment of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion Shangshutai will generally not be dismissed.

The Dadu Governor's Mansion is the highest yamen of the Dajin military, usually speaking, the appointment of the Dadu Governor's Mansion is decided by the Son of Heaven alone, of course, the holy decree still has to go through again, but the three provinces will not stop this kind of holy decree.

And there is nothing wrong with this decree.

Zhang Qu of Shangshutai, after receiving this holy decree, his face became serious, he first called several Zaifu together to discuss for a while, and then held this holy decree alone and entered Weiyang Palace.

Xiao Zheng, the eunuch of Weiyang Palace, immediately came out to greet him: "Zhang Xiang." ”

Zhang Qu nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Gonggong Xiao, I have discussed this holy decree of Your Majesty with several ministers of the three provinces, and I unanimously thought that it was not suitable, so I came to see Your Majesty. ”

Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "Zhang Xiang, His Majesty is summoning the minister. ”

Zhang Qu frowned and asked, "Who to summon?" ”

"Li Xin, the squire of the military department."

This Haoran Gong nodded slowly, sat down quietly and waited.

For Li Xin, Zhang Qu didn't have much intersection, the two didn't even say a few words, in the eyes of this Zhang Xiang, Li Xin was just a somewhat mysterious young man.

After sealing a small half-pillar of incense, Li Xin walked out of the inner hall.

Zhang Qu stood up silently and prepared to walk in.

Li Shilang smiled brightly, and arched his hand at Zhang Qu and said, "Haoran Gong." ”

Zhang Qu had no choice but to stop and return the salute: "Li Shilang is polite." ”

Li Xin glanced at the holy decree in Zhang Qu's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "Haoran Gong is trying to reject the holy decree?" ”

Zhang Qu hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and said: "It's not a rejection, it's just that there are some places in the holy decree that are not suitable, so I came to discuss with Your Majesty." ”

Li Xin was still smiling.

"Is it because of the position of the governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion that he is not allowed to hold the position?"

Zhang Qu's eyes were solemn and he glanced up at Li Xin.

"This holy decree has not been issued yet, how did Li Shilang know?"

"Your Majesty has discussed this matter with the lower officials."

The smile on Li Xin's face retracted and became solemn.

"Haoran Gong, Xia Guan has always respected you very much on weekdays, and so does Your Majesty, but at this juncture, Your Majesty has big things to do, please let Haoran Gong be more relaxed."

Zhang Qu frowned slightly.

"What's the big deal?"

In his opinion, if there is any major matter in the imperial court, it should be discussed between the prime ministers of the three provinces and the emperor, rather than a close minister like Li Xin and His Majesty deciding on their own.

Li Xin sighed, and then said slowly: "That's it, Zhang Xiang can't listen to the words of a young man like Xiaguan, so he will go to find Your Majesty." ”

Li Shilang's voice was sincere.

"Haoran Gong remembers, Your Majesty is in a hurry now, don't annoy him."

After Li Xin finished speaking, he walked away.

Zhang Qu held this holy decree, hesitated, and slowly walked into the inner hall.
