Chapter 1548: The Case Happened (Thanks to "The Horny Emperor Uncle Jin" For Becoming the 82nd Leader of This Book)
Among the six departments in Jinling, probably only the Ministry of Rites is the most embarrassing and boring, with nothing to do.
The Ministry of Household Affairs is the most practical, and they are responsible for collecting taxes, which can be called a beautiful job.
As for the Ministry of Officials, they are responsible for the examination of merit, so they have firmly grasped the power.
Gu Keqing is the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials who is in charge of the examination of merit. Although he is incomparable with the Ministry of Officials in Beiping, he can be regarded as a high-ranking official.
But the sudden death of the younger brother made Gu Keqing very sad, and then he took a leave of absence to go back to deal with it, and then returned to continue to perform his duties, and was praised by the officials.
The fact that some people were imprisoned by the Taiping Mansion did not attract the attention of Jinling at all. Gu Keqing continued to work in the official department calmly until Zhu Zhanji and Fang woke up to Jinling.
Wei Zhi was also very satisfied with Gu Keqing, so after Zhu Zhanji arrived in Jinling, he left most of the official affairs to Gu Keqing, but he himself was looking for loopholes after he took over.
This day Wei Zhi went to Zhu Zhanji's place to get acquainted, and then returned to the Ministry of Officials, Gu Keqing came to report the affairs of the past few days.
After listening to it, Wei Zhi was very satisfied, and said: "Thank you for your hard work, I will give you some kind words in front of His Highness later."
Gu Keqing clasped his hands and said: "Thank you, sir, but... that Xing and Bo have not come back from their trip, so I don't know what they are here for."
Wei Zhi was in a good mood today, so he said, "Who knows! But His Highness has an extraordinary relationship with him, so he won't restrain him, just treat him as Xiu Mu."
Gu Keqing said with a smile: "That's not bad, but after His Highness arrived in Jinling, he didn't see any changes, I'm afraid it's... Your Excellency, I'm afraid it's coming..."
Wei Zhi said in a secretive way: "This matter is not something that we, as courtiers, can speculate on. As long as we do our duty, it will be fine."
Gu Keqing smiled and said: "Yes, what your lord said is..."
In the next few days, the bureaucracy was calm, until something happened at the Duchayuan, Wei Zhi then sent someone to find Gu Keqing.
But after going there for a long time without seeing anyone, just when Wei Zhi's anger began to smolder, the little official came back.
"My lord, Master Gu is not here today."
Um?
Wei Zhi frowned and said: "There was an accident at the Duchayuan. His Highness summoned the officials above the assistant minister, presumably to teach them a lesson. Gu Keqing didn't ask for leave from me. Why didn't he come?"
Even if there is an urgent matter, according to the rules, Gu Keqing has to send someone to ask Wei Zhi for leave.
Wei Zhi got up and said: "Forget it, if His Highness blames the crime, it will be considered his own bad luck."
...
When he got to Zhu Zhanji's place, Wei Zhi saw his colleagues and also... Fang Xing.
"Your Highness, Gu Keqing, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, has not arrived today, so I am panicked."
Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "What should come will come naturally."
When the people arrived, Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "The case of Taiping Mansion has been released."
What case?
Everyone is confused, but they are not to blame, because a lot of people are arrested every year, and no one cares about these things.
Fang Xing stood on the left side of Zhu Zhanji, and said: "Gu Keli of Taiping Mansion was beaten to death, and then Zhang Yuqing, the magistrate of Taiping Mansion, arrested the perpetrators, and then...they were all tortured to death..."
Gu Keli?
In an instant, all eyes glanced at Wei Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.
Wei Zhi remembered that Gu Keqing did not come today, his heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Your Highness, Gu Keqing did not ask the minister for leave today."
Everyone's heart skipped a beat, thinking that something big was about to happen, they couldn't help but look at Fang Xing.
Every time this guy comes to Jinling, nothing good happens. After this trip, the case of Taiping Mansion broke out after he came back. It can be seen that the trip is fake and the investigation is true.
Wang Shuyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, changed his face greatly, and hurriedly argued: "Your Highness, the Taiping Mansion said at the time that the murderer who killed Gu Keli had been caught, but I thought he was still in the Taiping Mansion!"
The Ministry of Criminal Justice did not follow up in time, this is dereliction of duty! Even dereliction of duty!
Fang Xing said: "After Zhang Yuqing was arrested, he immediately told the whole story. After the incident, he went to Gu Keqing. Lan Weiye of the Supervision Institute was the same year as Gu Keqing.
shelter them from it. But the purpose of Zhang Yuqing and Lan Weiye was to be optimistic about Gu Keqing's official career, so the three of them worked hand in hand, disregarding human life! "
oh!
Immediately, everyone's hearts were relieved, and everyone exhaled involuntarily, and it sounded like a sigh, so they were all taken aback.
If those people were killed just to vent their personal anger, and there was a reason why they killed Gu Keli first, that is, the officials just vented their anger over the death of the younger brother, and the involvement was not serious.
Just thinking about going to the three officials, everyone inevitably felt a bit sad, so they felt that Fang Xing was the bitter hand of the southern officialdom.
Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "But will you know the reason why Gu Keli was beaten to death?"
Everyone shook their heads, Zhu Zhanji sneered and said: "He said after drinking, the first emperor died well!"
Well!
The ministers were shocked!
Damn Gu Keli, you drank some cat urine and started talking nonsense, this is going to be a big deal!
"Your Highness, I'm guilty of ineffective control."
Wei Zhi made a decision in an instant, and went to the crown to plead guilty.
Wang Shuyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, was even more annoyed, so he had to plead guilty.
Zhu Zhanji looked at them coldly, and said: "I don't have the habit of blaming anyone. The crime of negligence will naturally be dealt with by the emperor. I only hope to see the atmosphere in Jinling's officialdom clear up, otherwise... Cleaning up the filth and exalting the clean, this is also the purpose of my trip! Let's all go away."
The officials went out slowly with suspicion in their hearts, and when they got out of the mansion, they saw Gu Keqing.
Gu Keqing was tied to a wooden stick and carried by two soldiers.
"It's self-inflicted!"
The officials stood at a distance as if avoiding the plague god, and then watched Gu Keqing being carried into the compound.
...
"Thank you very much."
After the officials left, Fang Xing thanked Zhu Zhanji.
Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "It's just a matter of convenience."
Originally, Zhu Zhanji could take the opportunity to attack and take down Wei Zhi and Wang Shuyue, but he didn't.
This is the reason to use the handle to make the two of them cast a mouse.
"Brother Dehua, father is very difficult."
Zhu Zhanji said quietly: "He wanted to stretch his hands and feet like the emperor's grandfather, but he encountered great difficulties."
"A big fight can be suppressed, but what are the consequences? The emperor does not have the prestige of the emperor's grandfather. The civil servants must be obedient and obedient, but the warriors will take advantage of the opportunity. At that time, the situation will be troublesome."
Fang Xing reassured: "Even if we change a group of people, we still have to change the soup but not the medicine, so we have to find an opponent for them."
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "That's why I suppressed this matter, and I can be more sure then."
The style of writing in the south is at its peak, and Fang woke up here to spread some science. But there will be a lot of resistance, if Wei Zhi and Wang Shuyue can be suppressed, at least there will be less trouble.
"The relationship between the king and his subjects is like wrestling the wrists. If you are strong, they will lie dormant. If you are weak, they will make progress. Your Majesty is very good at leveraging your strength."
Zhu Gaochi used the last civil and military dispute to suppress the temptations of the civil officials, and he won a round.
But those civil servants are a group, if Zhu Gaochi can't divide them, then it will still be like being surrounded by thorns, unable to move an inch.
Fang Xing recalled the later party disputes, is there any imperial tricks in it?
Divide and conquer, fight without breaking!
This is too difficult!
