Chapter 570
Wang Xian's hand is called 'get on the boat first, make up the ticket later'. Taking advantage of his new official taking office, the emperor will not remove him immediately, and his tolerance for him is relatively high in a short period of time, and he will do everything that should be done in one go, and then rein in his minions and slowly digest the results.
He personally sorted out the results of the trial and wrote them into a concerto, one to the emperor and the other to Guan Bai Ji Gang, which can be regarded as a response to Ji Gang's slander against himself for creating something out of nothing and eliminating dissidents. However, Wang Xian knew that these old cases could at most worsen the emperor's perception of Ji Gang, and basically would not affect Ji Gang's status...... But then again, as long as he continues to smear Ji Gang, I believe that one day Ji Dudu's image in the emperor's heart will be darker than that of Zhang Fei.
In fact, what Ji Gang said is right, for Wang Xian, the real meaning of these cases is really to exclude dissidents, cultivate cronies, and sweep those disciples and grandchildren of Ji Gang into the garbage heap, so that his own talents can completely take over Beizhen Fusi. This kind of thing has to be done by every official who comes to power, but the process is different, and the level is high and low. However, it is really rare for someone like Wang Xian to be completely purged as soon as he came up, and fortunately, the buttocks of Ji Gang's disciples and grandchildren are not clean, so Wang Xianqing was given the opportunity to carry out the banner of justice and carry out the cleansing.
In any case, in short, the Beizhen Fusi, who had completed the purge, was completely quiet, and the internal and external affairs should be taken care of by Wang Xian's internal signing room and the division of labor among the five offices, and the people used in each department were all young and loyal, although they were not very outstanding, but they were all conscientious and competent. Although it may be timidity to carry out any major actions at the moment, it is more than enough to carry out a small operation just for the daily affairs of the yamen.
Wang Xian naturally knows the truth that he can't eat a fat man in one bite, and he is already very content that he can snatch food in such a short period of time and control Beizhen Fusi in his hands, and he can no longer be insatiable and stir up the wind and rain. He drew up a strict drill plan for all departments and offices, and ordered them to step up their internal skills and strive to be of great use as soon as possible.
Here, the north town of Fusi is calm, but the court over there is very happy because of the fraud case in the department, and even the emperor has postponed the trip to the north because of this, and Ji Dudu is naturally even more anxious, and he can't take care of Wang Xian at all, so he let him hold the Zhenfu Division in his hand smoothly......
The first trial was held in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, presided over the trial, and Liu Guan of the Imperial History of Zuodu was jurified, because the people involved in the case were all officials of the imperial court, and they were also high-ranking officials, and before they were convicted, the emperor did not deprive them of their official status, so whether they were tried or accused, they were all sitting and talking, and the presiding judge was also polite, unwilling to treat the defendant as a prisoner. So the scene didn't look like a triage, but rather a ministerial discussion.
The first to pass on to the hall was the chief examiner Liang Qian, Liang Qian insisted that he did not leak the exam questions, and as for how the exam questions were leaked, he also wanted to know. The summons of the deputy examiner and several fellow examiners, as well as the officers and soldiers who were responsible for protecting and monitoring them, proved that the examiner was inseparable from them these days, and had no chance to pass on the exam questions to the outside world. The deputy chief examiner also made a special introduction to the chief examiner on the monitoring of the chief examiner by the Gong Yuan, so as to show that Liang Qian has been under strict surveillance since he received the appointment of the chief examiner, and it is impossible to pass on the news to the outside world without concealing from the guards.
The presiding judge also accepted this explanation, and asked Ji Dudu, as the complainant, if he had any objections, Ji Gang knew everything about the Jiangxi Yankees, and immediately pointed out that the exam questions were leaked before Liang Qian was appointed as the chief examiner.
"This is really ridiculous," Liang Qian sneered: "When I wasn't the main examiner, where did the exam questions come from?" "The characteristic of the scholar is that he is meticulous, although he lacks quick wit, and his cousin in the Gongyuan is relatively low, but it has been a few days since the incident, which is enough for Liang to think clearly about the benefits and disadvantages, and take into account all the problems that can be encountered and the words that should be answered.
"This seems ridiculous, but for your Jiangxi Gang, it's not impossible!" It was Master Zhuang who spoke, and he also accompanied Ji Gang to the court today as a counselor of Jinyiwei, but in fact, he was still doing the work of a lawyer. "From the Hongwu Dynasty to the present, you Jiangxi people have basically monopolized the selection of Sanding Jia and Shujishi, so that now all the courtiers of Chinese study speak Gan, and high-ranking officials and dignitaries are all from Jiangxi. In addition, the conditions for serving as the chief examiner of the examination are very harsh, and there will not be too many qualified candidates, and nine times out of ten are your Jiangxi officials, you can completely agree on the examination questions in advance. After a pause, Zhuang Jing said in a deep voice: "This is not speculation, on the second day of the first lunar month of this year, you and Yang Shiqi, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi and other seven people gathered in the Hu Ge hometown, the door is closed, the slaves are dismissed, I don't know what is the secret discussion?" ”
"This ......" Liang Qian already knew how powerful Jinyiwei was, but when he was really found on himself, he felt the terrible maggot-like of the tarsal bones: "During the Chinese New Year, fellow villagers gather and say good New Year to each other, what's wrong with this?" ”
"Do you need to keep the door closed for the Chinese New Year? Do you need to get rid of all the people who are waiting on the side? Zhuang Jing sneered.
"The door is closed because I don't want anyone to disturb me, and the reason for repelling the subordinates is to talk casually, who knows if there are any secret agents of your Jinyi Guard." Fortunately, Liang Qian had already thought of his words, and said without changing his face: "At that time, we still wanted to discuss how to rescue fellow villagers and scholars, of course we can't let you know!" ”
"Xie Jin has been locked up in prison for five years, and I haven't seen you rescue him." Zhuang Jing said disdainfully: "This kind of argument is really untenable! ”
"We wanted to wait for the emperor to dissipate his anger, and during the Chinese New Year, I heard that the emperor had the intention of releasing and relieving him, so we got together excitedly to discuss how to rescue him." Liang Qian said with tears in his eyes: "Who would have thought that Jinyi Wei would be mad and deceive the king, and actually kill him......
"Ahem...... "Although everyone knows that Xie Jin's death should be the hand of Ji Gang, no one knows whether this is from the emperor's instructions. Wu Shangshu in the hall had to stop this topic and said: "Today's question is about the Kechang case, don't deviate too far from the topic." ”
The two sides should come down and say no more about it.
"Master Ji, do you think that Lord Liang leaked the exam questions in advance before entering the Tribute Academy, can there be direct evidence?" Wu Zhong pulled the question back to the case.
"Absolutely." Ji Gang sneered and said: "On the third day of February this year, I was introduced to buy an exam question from Hu Guang Hu Ge's old son, Hu Chong, for two thousand taels of silver!" As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Zhongdao: "This matter is a transaction between a person named Chen Zhou and a person named Ji Yan who has a close relationship with Hu Chong, and the date of the two of them can be found in Wantong Bank, but three days before the exam!" ”
