Grain prices in Jinling were stabilized after the autumn grain market entered the market on 20 September. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoA storm of business wars has come to an end. However, this is not the end, but the beginning of the shock of Jinling officialdom.

This is the consensus of people in officialdom.

Behind the high food prices was the promotion of Jinling's magnates, and this sabotaged Huainan's disaster relief operations, affecting Sha Sheng, the governor of Huaiyang, and Wei Hong, the head of the household department.

In addition, some time ago, almost all the civil officials in Nanjing, except for a few people such as Jia Huan's teacher Zhang Anbo, were all writing to impeach Wei Hong. The contradictions between the two sides have surfaced.

When food prices are flattened, it is the beginning of the officialdom struggle. According to the idea of stabilizing the place in the imperial court. After all, someone is going to stay, someone is leaving. However, Sha Sheng and Wei Hong have made meritorious contributions to disaster relief and are almost invincible.

Chen Gaolang, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, tried to dump the pot of the Jinling grain case on Wei Hong. What he has to worry about now is self-preservation.

The turmoil in Jinling's officialdom is not limited to this. This is a struggle between high-ranking officials. There was also a grain reselling case that shocked the government and the opposition. This, in turn, will involve a number of middle- and low-level officials. The departure of high-ranking officials will inevitably involve the siding of middle- and low-level officials.

The upcoming Qincha Ningru was ordered to review the grain reselling case. The parties will scramble to win it over. And the outcome of the struggle between the high-ranking officials is estimated to wait for the arrival of a new edict from the imperial court. It is expected to be a month later.

A medium-sized river boat swims upriver in the Yangtze River.

Ning Ru, dressed in a jade-colored robe, looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait at the door of the cabin. Outstanding manners. It was early winter, and it was raining lightly. It's more sad and cold.

After Ning Ru announced his decree to Sha Sheng, the governor of Huaiyang, in Yangzhou, he set off for Jinling. This is the first time he has served the Son of Yongzhi. And he was also trying to figure out in his heart the intention of the Son of Heaven to send him to Jinling to investigate the case.

The Nanjing Hubu grain case, the government and the opposition were shocked! The members of the ministry and the academy wrote to each other. There is also the news of Jia Ziyu's assassination.

He came with a holy decree.

…

…

At noon on September 27, Jia Yucun, the prefect of Jinling, went to Xuanwu Lake to participate in a cultural meeting, which was relaxed and leisurely. On the return trip, take a boat from Dongshuiguan to enter the Qinhuai River, and the light boat floats forward in the river. The sun is shining in the early winter afternoon.

Jia Yucun drank a few glasses of wine, sat in the cabin, smiled and asked the accompanying henchman Master Bai, "Does Master Bai think I should panic?" "In the Wenhui just now, several scholars looked at him with a bad look.

Master Bai is in his fifties, with three long beards under his chin, and he looks like an old official. smiled and said, "Why should Dong Weng care about other people's opinions? ”

Jia Yucun smiled slightly. Broad face is full of confident smiles.

He knew what the scholar thought. That's right, the Jinling briefing was seized by him, and the ban has not yet been lifted. But he doesn't regret the decision. He couldn't watch Jia Huan ruin his reputation. This lawsuit is to fight in front of the king (Wang Ziteng), and he is also in charge. Is he a man who will be coerced? As for the Jinling grain case, he just took a customary piece of silver. And not involved. Nothing to do with him.

Master Bai paused and suggested, "However, it's best for Dong Weng to visit Xia Ning Hanlin. I heard that he had a good personal relationship with Jia Huan in the capital. ”

Mr. Longjiang Ning Ru's current position is the editor of the Hanlin Academy (Zheng Qipin). He served as a messenger in the capacity of Hanlin.

Jia Yucun smiled nonchalantly and said, "The person who should really be nervous is not me. It's Zheng Guogong Deng Hong. I heard that Ning Longjiang has a very good relationship with this year's Jiangnan Oiran Su Shishi. Su Shishi was picked up by him.

The eight rice banks in Jinling City all suffered serious losses. The few accompanied a few thousand taels, and the more accompanied more than ten thousand taels. Food prices are stable, and there is no difficulty in providing disaster relief in Huainan. Wei Situ's promotion is almost a foregone conclusion. However, what happened to Wei Hong's promotion to Guan Jiahuan? ”

In the final analysis, it is Wei Hong who profits. Jia Huan, a small lifter, is still a loser in this game.

Master Bai wanted to speak and stopped. Dong Weng has a point. Indeed it is. Moreover, he is very good at being an official. So far, he has only offended Jia Huan and Zhang Anbo. As for the impeachment of Wei Hong, there are many civil officials in Jinling who impeach Wei Shangshu, does Wei Shangshu have to hold grudges one by one? It's impossible.

However, he was still a little worried about Jia Huan's side. After all, Dong Weng's benefactor is Jia Huan's uncle. Jia Ziyu is a young man, which makes him a little uncertain, and he always has unexpected moves. He dared to conclude that the case of stabilizing grain prices must be Jia Huan who gave advice to Wei Hong behind it.

And Jia Huan is good friends with Ning Hanlin, who doesn't know if he will do anything?

Jia Yucun smiled slightly, and changed his words, "Of course, after Ning Longjiang arrives in Jinling, I will visit him." ”

He is a bureaucrat who has experienced a downfall. It doesn't matter what he thinks in his heart, he never ignores the details of officialdom that should be paid attention to.

Master Bai smiled and nodded.

…

After the price of grain in Jinling dropped on September 20, Jia Huan left the Waijinchuanmen Wharf and returned home.

From a certain point of view, Jia Yucun's opinion of Jia Huan is not wrong. So far, the two who have benefited the most are Sha Sheng and Wei Hong. And Jia Huan, he has not yet received any real benefits. On the contrary, the once profitable perfume business has not yet recovered. But Jia Huan's goals and plans, Jia Yucun didn't know.

On the afternoon of the 27th, Jia Huan drank tea and chatted with the mountain chief, Master He, Zhang Chengjian, and Ji Ming at the mountain chief's house.

The wing room is elegantly furnished, and several people sit in the room casually.

Master He was very interested and talked and laughed with everyone. Grain prices have stabilized, and Huguang's grain has arrived. Huainan disaster relief is basically stable. The burden on Master He's shoulders was lifted. The heart is extremely relaxed.

Master He drank tea and proposed, "Ziyu, you and Ning Longjiang are familiar with each other, why don't you go to the realm to meet him a day in advance." ”

Jia Huan smiled and shook his head, "No." I wrote to the capital. ”

Zhang Anbo smiled kindly. Emperor Yongzhi sent Ning Longjiang, who was friendly with Jia Huan, to come, and the tendency was actually obvious.

…

Night shrouded Jinling City. Thousands of lights are lit up.

Chen Gaolang hunched his back and drank ginseng tea in the study under the service of his beautiful concubine. Tomorrow, the civil and military officials of Jinling will go outside the city to meet the Qin messenger sent by the imperial court. He needed to be still.

Chen Zizhen came in from outside the door. The face was sad.

Chen Gaolang frowned slightly, waved his hand to let the concubine retreat, and asked slowly, "Zizhen, what's the matter?" ”

Chen Zizhen smiled bitterly and said, "Father, I don't know the bottom of my heart. "The Nanjing Hubu Grain Case.... This year, a big flood in Huainan exposed the grain case. The Chen family had a hard time riding a tiger, so they could only choose to put the responsibility on Wei Hong.

Wei Hong's suppression of the grain reselling case was only temporary. His original intention was to be a capable minister and make political achievements. No one would be naïve enough to think that he would not report it to the imperial court.

And now the Son of Heaven sent Ning Longjiang, who was good friends with Jia Huan, to investigate the case. This is very detrimental to the Chen family. Everyone knows that Jia Huan has a grudge against the Chen family. He was unsure.

Chen Gaolang said unhappily: "How do I teach your brothers on weekdays? There is calm in every major event. "I have already written to Scholar Xie to explain the situation here in Jinling. Do not worry. ”

Wei Hong's backstage is Scholar Liu. And he was good friends with Scholar Xie.

Chen Zizhen was slightly stunned, he didn't expect his father to be prepared. My heart suddenly relaxed, and said, "Father taught me a lesson." The son's concern is chaotic, and he loses a little concentration. ”

…

…

On the night of the 27th, there was some restlessness in Jinling City. As the chincha was about to arrive, some people were scared.

The news from Yangzhou has already come back. Ning Hanlin announced the will of the Son of Heaven in Yangzhou, supported Sha Sheng's seizure of the Zheng family of the great salt merchant, and agreed with the governor Yamen's opinion on the treatment of the Zheng family: the man was exiled to Qiongzhou. The woman is not a teacher.

With a murderous look on one's face. Who knows what kind of purpose Ning Hanlin came with? To what extent should we investigate the case of grain resale?

At the same time, there are some people who are very calm and calm. Tomorrow is the time for each to open some hole cards. It is impossible for the imperial court to announce the outcome of the disposition tomorrow, most of which is the will authorized to Ning Hanlin. Ning Hanlin came to investigate the case, and Jinling officialdom actually had time to react.

The long night passed gradually. Mist fills the streets and alleys of Jinling. The rooster sings at dawn. The horizon was covered with the white of a fish's belly. (To be continued.) )
