Chapter 15 Geng Necai Speaks at the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Finally waiting for the end of school, Su Wen hurried to Xihuamen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The Ministry of Internal Affairs, everything is normal, normal access, normal office, and there is no wave in sight.
The pen surnamed Zheng saw Su Wen coming in, and shouted with a smile, "Master Ne, my uncle is here." ”
Ne Cai smiled and pushed the abacus, it was already full of spring breeze, "Okay, you guys are busy, I'll go first." Although he became the head of the First Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he was still modest and cautious in his words and actions, so he was quite popular in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and had a high prestige.
Necai has always been friendly with Prince Duan Hongyi, and his position as the head of the four products was also given to him by Hongyi, and he is the one who is most unlikely to oppose the princess.
Su Wen followed him out of the Internal Affairs Mansion, and before he could speak, Ne Cai spoke first.
"You've heard about the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Su Wen felt that he had a deep meaning in seeing himself, the people in the Internal Affairs Office were all human spirits, even if he was an honest person like Necai, it did not prevent him from seeing through the world and guessing people's hearts.
"I heard, I heard that Princess Rongxian is in trouble?" Su Wen replied honestly.
"Today, the situation is turbulent, and more than 40 colleagues have handed in their resignations together."
"Are they all gone?" Su Wen hurriedly asked.
"That's not true, Princess Rongxian is not a simple character, if she is a simple character, she is the emperor's own princess, and the emperor can't let her act as the internal affairs office! …… Her face didn't change, so many handbooks, she didn't turn them over, she just said to put this first, this matter, let's discuss it later, and the rest of the things will be talked about later. ”
"Okay, this is neither soft nor hard, neither humble nor arrogant, these officials have lost their temper all of a sudden." Su Wen said happily.
Ne Cai glanced at him, continued to walk out unhurriedly, bumped into an acquaintance in an interval, said hello, or stopped and chatted, and said enthusiastically, "See you later!" ”
Seeing that no one was passing by, the topic of Necai turned back again, "This matter was in a hurry, and it is really commendable to deal with it like this." The first is not to embarrass herself too much on the spot, and the second is to leave a regression for herself, as for what to do next, it is completely in her own hands. Well, these seven grids, I used to just think she was enthusiastic and generous, but now I look at it like this, it's really not simple, it's just an ordinary member of the court, in this case, either you are angry, you want to be dissatisfied with good words, blindly seek perfection, and it is not easy to master this measure. ”
Seeing that Necai was full of praise, Su Wen smiled, "Has this internal affairs office started to rectify so quickly?" ”
"No," Necai waved his hand, "it's just an ordinary view of politics, and there is such a big mess." ”
"Is there any wind beforehand?"
"I heard that the first day of junior high school was in Liulichang, and the Internal Affairs Office didn't know who scolded Gege behind his back, and he was embarrassed."
When Su Wen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his stomach, "Then there must be a reason to submit your resignation, right?" ”
"Yes." Necai smiled and greeted the guards of Xihuamen.
"Master Ne, you're good to go." The protector also smiled and made a thousand, and seemed to have a lot of respect for Necai.
"There are all kinds of reasons, some say they are sick, some say they want to wait for their parents, some say they want to be virtuous, and some say they are old and frail." The two of them walked out of Xihua Gate, and Necai shook his head and sighed.
"Hehe, third uncle, let's find a place to have a drink?" Su Wen led the horse.
"Okay, we have to find a place to talk about it," Ne Cai also had something to say, recently, he heard some rumors about Su Wen and Qi Gege outside, at this juncture, someone must have ulterior motives, although he didn't believe it, but he still wanted to give Su Wen a wake-up.
"This trick is a bit damaged, a little yin, but it's really clever!" Su Wen looked at Necai, although Necai was the main business of Sipin, he was still walking, and he didn't even have a sedan chair.
"Yes, if you don't say it, there are too many people in the Internal Affairs Office, who are hand-eyed and flowery," Ne Cai looked at Su Wen, "If you don't agree with the resignation, it is a sign of weakness, and in the future, Qigege will be in the Internal Affairs Office, and no one will listen to what he says, and this move will determine the future win or lose; But if you agree to this, not only will you be guilty of these forty or so people, but the people behind these people will also be offended. ”
Ne Cai couldn't help but sigh, "The next step is not easy, the Internal Affairs Office is not like other yamen, the iron-beaten Yamen flowing soldiers, in the internal affairs office, it is to break the bones and connect the tendons, and the emperor is really willing to let his own sister come to this troubled water." ”
"If you rectify the Internal Affairs Office, you have to offend people, third uncle, in the Internal Affairs Mansion, how can there be a chicken like you, there are chicken feet on the door of the New Year, and people say, 'Fang Xinshu's small paintings are not ancient, this person must be the Internal Affairs Office.'" One day, there is a nouveau riche at the root of the Imperial City, the house is newly built, the yard is newly planted with saplings, and the calligraphy and paintings of a contemporary family are hung on the wall, then this family must be an official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Su Wenbi said with a smile.
Ne Cai didn't smile, but his face was sad, "I also heard, this is the truth, in the internal affairs office, the money comes quickly, within a few days of taking office, you can buy a high-rise mansion compound in Sijiu City, where every inch of land is valuable. ”
Su Wen's heart moved, striking iron has to be hard, the emperor uses his own internal affairs office, and his own minions are knifed, which is quite meaningful!
If the rectification of the rule of officials is not clean and their own minions are not clean, it will not only bring about the atmosphere of the entire officialdom, but even if you want to rectify the rule of officials, it will not be good, let alone promote the reform of the law.
Ne Cai didn't expect Su Wen to think so much for a moment, "This matter in front of the eyes, if you don't get it right, not only Qigege, but even Prince Duan and even the emperor will have to touch a nose of ash, and when the time comes, it will be ugly." ”
"Third uncle, it's not that serious." Su Wen was already thinking about it, he looked at Na Cai, and he was worried about the country and the people.
"You're too young to understand. I've been on an errand in the House of Internal Affairs since I was sixteen years old, and it's been more than 20 years, today, I'll give you a good talk about the disadvantages here, this restaurant is good, let's go in, isn't it February 2 today, you were on duty last night, and you didn't eat dragon beard noodles and dragon scale cakes, boss, let's have two bowls of dragon beard noodles first! Nescai shouted as he entered the door.
The two found a private room inside, asked for a pot of wine, and ordered four side dishes.
After three glasses of wine, Necai's thin face turned red, and he talked more.
"The Internal Affairs Office, the Seven Divisions and Three Courts, you all know this, what you don't know is that there are too many things in charge of the Seven Divisions and Three Courts, what financial storage, mountain and Ze fishing, Huangzhuang taxes, umbrella covers, saddle armor, knives, guns, bows and arrows, etc., as long as the small things in the emperor's family, are under our control, and the management and repair of the Forbidden City, Sanhai, Nanyuan, Temple of Heaven and other gardens are also under our control. Don't underestimate these little things, they are all quick deals, they are all fat differences, if anyone can be responsible for repairing the mausoleum or palace 'good work', the whole family for several generations of food, clothing and housing do not have to worry. ”
"In addition, the three major halls of the Forbidden City, Cining Palace, Shoukang Palace, Imperial Pharmacy, Shou Pharmacy, Wenyuan Pavilion, Wuying Palace, Imperial Library, Yangxin Palace, Xian'an Palace, Jingshan Palace, Zhangguan Defense Office, etc., are all under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
"This is still in the city of Beijing, out of the city of Beijing, as well as Jiangning weaving office, Hangzhou weaving office, Suzhou weaving office, etc., Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden, Wanshou Mountain, Yuquan Mountain, Xiangshan, Rehe Palace, Tangquan Palace, Panshan Palace, Huangxinzhuang Palace and other emperor's residence, the year before last, and set up a mausoleum and Shengjing internal affairs office, management of the imperial tomb and Shengjing palace."
"It's big enough, there are only a few people in the six departments, and I'm afraid that there are more than three or four thousand people in this internal affairs office!" Su Wen exclaimed.
"Alas, at first the Internal Affairs Office was only about 3,000 people, but now 10,000 people can't stop it. There are too many doorways in it that are greedy for ink and silver, only you can't think of it, and you can't do it. As long as there are interests, they will form gangs and networks, and Qigege knows the depth and shallowness of the water inside? Just stepped in? ”
"Third uncle, you speak slowly and take a sip of wine." Su Wen picked up the cup, and when the two touched it, they squeaked, and they were all dry.
"There is another point I didn't say, the respectful room is also under the jurisdiction of the Internal Affairs Office, the eunuchs and palace maids naturally stand on the line of the Internal Affairs Office, and they all have interests in it, this is a bad word, rectify the Internal Affairs Office, the eunuchs and palace maids provoke a few words, that offend the Queen Mother, offend the concubines in the palace, it is also a matter of time, you can stay in the Internal Affairs Office for a few days."
Su Wen clapped his hands and smiled, "Oh, I think about it thoroughly, the reason why I chose Qigege, the queen mother must be supportive, she is the emperor's sister-in-law, the queen has opinions with the concubines, at most two words, who dares to be a stumbling block behind death, let the queen mother and the emperor know, there is absolutely no good fruit to eat." ”
"Well, that's right." Ne Cai raised his hand and pointed to the noodles, "Internal Affairs Office, let me continue to tell you, inside, there are four big families, of course, there are more than twenty small families, all of whom have served the envoys in the palace since the dragon entered the customs." ”
"Let's talk about the Rong family first, Rong Ting, Rong Ning two brothers, although now Zhi Shi is retired, but the weaving and repair of the Internal Affairs Office is still his family's final say, after the two brothers separated, they placed two courtyards in the north and south of the crutch alley, known as Ning and Ting's two mansions."
Ning, Ting Erfu? Surname Rong! Fuck, Su Wen slapped his thigh, smiled, understood, this must be the prototype of "Dream of Red Mansions".
"The second family is the Ming family, Mingshan, that is, the former Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the big and small affairs in the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot leave his family, and the promotion and transfer of officials in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have to be nodded by his family."
Holy shit, this one is even better.
"The Zhong family, Zhong Xiang, the Han army with a yellow flag, the current governor of Henan, of course, he is not the biggest official from the Internal Affairs Office, but he has the most officials from the Internal Affairs Office. The project of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in addition to the Rong family, his family also has the final say, this family, generations are hugely rich, the mansion is in the Majiachang on Gulou Street, the front and back streets are his family's house, the fields around Beijing, in addition to the Huangzhuang, his family is more than the prince's family, the rent, four times are not enough! ”
Doing projects makes money quickly, and everyone in this past and future life knows it!
"The fourth, the Wen family, Wen Feng, the procurement of the palace of the Internal Affairs Office, single-handedly contracted, I don't need to say this, you also know how dark it is inside."
"These four families, more than 20 small families, with special status and richer than princes, are married to each other, one is lost, one is prosperous, you fight one, it is a nest, you haven't reacted, people have already surrounded a group of people."
"For so many years, the four families and other small families, there is no shortage of generals, governors, governors, and admirals in foreign countries, Gao Bin, the governor of Beihe, An Ningfu, the general of Uriya Sutai, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Qi Letai, etc., all went out from the internal affairs office, and there is a stir in the court, and the provinces can immediately know that the inside and outside of the court are connected, and the voices and breaths are connected, and they support each other, which is the most difficult to do."
"Third uncle, speaking of which, since the emperor has let Qigege come, he has made up his mind, what should I do about this matter, do you have any regulations?"
Netzer glanced at him, "What charter?" Sweep the snow in front of your house first, you are still young and have a great future, don't provoke yourself! Qigege is like in a whirlpool now, and staying away from her is the right way. This is what Necai wants to say for a night, but it does not fall on the rumors of the two, he is also saving face for his future son-in-law, the son-in-law and father-in-law, after all, is not a father and son, and there is a layer of separation.
After drinking, send Nacai home, see the ashes of the stove scattered in the courtyard, the gray road is curved like a dragon, the Beijing people call it "leading the dragon", which is intended to pray for good wind and rain.
Seeing that her father and Su Wen were so drunk that they entered the door, Hui Xian was very happy, "I can't do needlework today, my purse for you is almost embroidered, and I will send it over after you get out of school tomorrow." ”
"Okay." After drinking, Su Wen felt a little irritable and hot, but Ne Cai was at home, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, and when he went out, he didn't want to go home, he gritted his teeth, beat his horse and went straight to Qigege Mansion.
