Chapter 22: Strike Again
Kong Tian suddenly smiled and bowed his head.
Then, the original weapon's expression was restricted, and he asked again: "The people in the account room have all received it, Qin Xia has no one to help, and there is no way to unlock the account book." However, it may not be easy to clean up Qin Xia like this. ”
"Yan Lu's side, I've already sent someone over to spread the word. From now on, the Qin Mansion in the Clarification Workshop wants to buy a grain of rice, and if you break your leg, you don't want to buy it near Zuo! The tranquility on the street in front of the door is even more unbelievable! ”
"It's more than that...... We deal with Qin Xia, this is enough. But to deal with Fu Shuxun above Qin Xia......"
When Kong Tian heard this, he smiled even more faintly: "In this matter, Master Guan Gou will only be more beautiful than us!" ”
At the same time, Chen Gaowen's figure appeared in front of the side door of a high-ranking official's deep house in Dashi Yongfang. When Chen Gaowen knocked on the knocker, inside the door of the deep house, a wealthy middle-aged housekeeper opened the crack and quietly let people in.
This is the mansion of Wang Zhengzhi, the head of the household.
The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, the housekeeper who is quite unruly on weekdays is very kind today, especially when he sinks slightly in his arms, and the smile on his face is even more sincere: "The master is reading in the study." Chen Guan hooked up by coincidence, just now, the old man instructed his subordinates to prepare the water of Yuquan Mountain, and brought the big red robe produced in the Nine Dragons of Wuyi Tianxin Rock in Fujian. After a while, Chen Guangou had a good mouth. ”
"Wuyi big red robe? is so blessed, Gaowen is terrified. Chen Gaowen humbly and politely said a few words, and soon met Wang Zhengzhi who was pretending to read the ancient scrolls in the study.
The housekeeper on the side lightly summoned the maid to prepare the Qingquan tea, and apologized for Chen Gaowen to sit down.
Chen Gaowen looked at Wang Zhengzhi, who was pretending to read, and knew that this was a high-ranking official of the temple who was selling his status to show the city, and he was disdainful in his heart, but he was still respectful on his face.
Chen Gaowen guessed well, Wang Zhengzhi looked very calm, but in fact, he didn't know how much to attach importance to Chen Gaowen's visit.
As a deputy, in the face of an enterprising leader, Wang Zhengzhi has been relatively aggrieved recently. The big boss decided to forge ahead, and as the second child, of course, he had to rein in his edge, and be low and small. This is really not a good mood for the second child who has just held back a Li Shiwen and has not relaxed for a long time.
Fortunately, those days look like they're coming to an end soon.
Thinking of the household that almost exploded, and seeing Chen Gaowen, who was humble but domineering in the past, came to the door to surrender, Wang Zhengzhi rarely showed a proud expression.
This expression betrayed Wang Zhengzhi's state of mind.
Seeing Chen Gaowen paying attention, Wang Zhengzhi simply dropped the scroll, looked at Chen Gaowen and said, "Oh? It's Chen Guan Gou. I was sluggish, and I was reading the ancient scroll just now, and I was a little distracted for a while. ”
"Wang Weng Yayi, how dare the villain spoil his interest." Chen Gaowen echoed with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Chen Guangou is also an elegant and interesting person. Haha, it's just right, this Wuyi big red robe can be appreciated together. Wang Zhengzhi smiled and sat opposite Chen Gaowen in the living room of the study.
The two of you finished politely saying a word, and the topic gradually turned to business.
"Wang Weng, the villain came today, but it was for the Yunnan Division." Wang Zhengzhi said softly: "This time, the assessment of the big Si Nong is very strict, but the Yunnan Division is not very good, a fire was ignited, and the file was gone. I'm afraid I'm going to be punished by the big Si Nong. ”
"Hmm." Wang Zhengzhi replied undeniably, slightly proud in his heart, as the second child, the benefits are not without benefits.
At least when the sky falls, there is Shangshu on top, who wants to deal with the big boss, and the first backer who comes to mind is Wang Zhengzhi.
Qin Xia lifted the table, found a backer Fu Shuxun, and made a move.
As their opponents, the Xu official class represented by Chen Gaowen would naturally fight back quickly.
Of course, the words in Chen Gaowen's mouth were not afraid of Da Si Nong's blame, but implied that they had already regarded Da Si Nong as an enemy. This first trick is the matter of the Yunnan Treasury going water.
Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Wang Zhengzhi pondered for a long time, and countless prepared words were drafted in his heart over and over again, and finally looked at Chen Gaowen with a smile and said: "The most important thing in the household department today is not to accumulate old accounts. Liaodong is newly defeated, and His Majesty is worried about the endgame. I am a minister, and I should relieve my father's worries. If the people who cry poor in front of the palace and provoke His Majesty's anger, I will never follow suit. Chen Guangou, you just need to think about it, as long as the military spending gap can be filled, what is the matter with the old accounts? ”
When Chen Gaowen heard this, his heart was slightly relieved, and he laughed slowly, and said, "Wang Weng is wise." My generation of ministers should relieve the worries of the monarch. Before coming to Wang Weng's mansion, the villain had calculated. As long as Wang Wen straightened out the household department, eliminated the mediocre officials, simply pulled out the available talents, and then diverted the expenses of the Yellow River waterworks, and gave up the Henan Yulu, he could make up 500,000 taels of silver. Such a strategy is enough for His Majesty to be relieved. ”
"Gaowen! Such a good strategy, you are really my son's room! After hearing this, Wang Zhengzhi immediately burst out laughing.
This gang of Zixu officials, this time it is really a big benefit!
Chen Gaowen's subtext is nothing more than that as long as Chen Gaowen can take down Fu Shuxun, Qin Xia, and those people in the Beijing faction, he will be able to scrape together 500,000 taels for Wang Zhengzhi to use as a killer weapon to deal with Fu Shuxun in front of the king!
As for the misappropriation of the expenses of the Yellow River to control the river and the swallowing up of the salaries of Henan officials and soldiers, can it be regarded as a matter compared to the major events in front of us?
"It's just the power of Wang Weng. It should not be praised by the king. ”
"Haha, don't be humble. Come, I'm going to talk to you about this tea ceremony! Let you see the beauty of this Wuyi big red robe! ”
……
After Chen Gaowen left, Wang Zhengzhi regained his composure, and only his mind was agitated.
"Dasi Nong......" Wang Zhengzhi squinted, and countless images flashed in his mind.
The political ecology of the late Ming Dynasty was quite complex. As an old man in the household, Wang Zhengzhi was deeply touched by this. Tobe Shangshu was the pinnacle of the empire's political map. But when it comes to political life, it is extremely fragile. Li Shiwen has been diligent for several years, and the supply of military supplies has been arduous and hard, and there is no merit and hard work. However, once the emperor was dissatisfied, he was still dismissed and questioned, as evidenced by his lack of scruples. On the contrary, Wang Zhengzhi, as the deputy of the household department, supervised the army of the West Road, and his position was more stable.
Further down, leaving aside those who are not professional enough and whose status is not high, the real root of the household department is the hereditary replacement, and the descendants inherit the Xu officials.
These people are professional enough to be inseparable from any practice. Inherited for a hundred years, it has a deep foundation, stretches through Beijing, and has amazing power.
It's just that Xu Yan's ninth-rate status can't be on the stage after all, if he wants to deal with Fu Shuxun, even if he tears his face and uses the ultimate move like a strike, he may not be able to win in one fell swoop.
