There are nineteen states under Jiangnan West Road. In just a few days, what happened in Ezhou has spread to more than ten states.
The governor of Ezhou, Bianjia, Chief Secretary and other officials were imprisoned, and even their property was seized. The wealthy businessmen in the state were fined a large amount of taxes and silver, so they were able to complete the work.
When officials from various states heard this, they were initially unbelievable. After confirming it, they immediately became frightened.
In the entire Jiangnan West Road, the governor of Ezhou is also a cruel and ruthless person. Many of the Beijing officials who went to Jiangnan have suffered losses at his hands, but even he was in the hands of others, let alone his methods are inferior to his?
After the Ezhou incident, officials from all prefectures in Jiangnan knew that this time, a ruthless character was really coming to the capital.
Officials in Jiangnan are open-minded and fearless. Those who have ghosts in their hearts burn incense and worship Buddha, hoping that their backers in Beijing can make efforts as soon as possible and recall the man to the capital for crimes. After all, although this is Jiangnan, the other party seems to have the power of military power. Even if they are local snakes, they dare not start with the other party with real swords and guns.
It’s not a different story to say whether the other party is a Beijing official with the sage. They secretly use their methods. As long as their hands and feet are clean, they can rest assured.
But once war begins openly, it will be a real rebellion. If this crime is deducted, even if it has nine lives, it will have to be taken into account.
I heard that the man had left Ezhou and was about to go to another prefecture. For a moment, people in the south of the Yangtze River were panic.
……
Tang Ning has been leaving Ezhou for several days. In the past few days, they have traveled through three more states.
The situation in these three states is different from that in Ezhou. Although there are indeed some problems in the state, they are not as serious as Ezhou.
The most important thing is that the officials in these three states have extremely good attitudes and cooperated with the investigation of the Ministry of Personnel. If the governor of Ezhou was also in this way, instead of secretly making a move, he might still be in Ezhou now, instead of being locked in a prison car to enjoy the scenery along the way from Ezhou to the capital.
This time he went to Jiangnan, his purpose was not to take the exam. If the other party had a look, he would not treat the governor of Ezhou like he did.
However, he did not tolerate tax issues. Once a businessman is found to have tax evasion and other behaviors, he will immediately impose a five-fold fine on the silver, and a fine of five years will be fined for five years at a time. As long as the silver is not allowed, the tax bank will be paid, and after the tax bank is paid, it will be transported to the capital.
As for the officials involved, the assessment will naturally give corresponding evaluations, and the Ministry of Personnel will make the final decision.
Jiangnan West Road, Hongzhou
Tang Ning has been staying in Hongzhou for three days. He did not find any major problems in Hongzhou. He is preparing to set off for Raozhou today.
The governor of Hongzhou and others sent him out of the city and said with a smile: Lord Tang, walk slowly!
This smile is a smile from the heart. When this adult from the capital left, each of them was happy in their hearts.
The incident in Ezhou almost made officials in Jiangnan scared Tang Ning. Before he arrived in Hongzhou, the officials in Hongzhou were worried.
After he arrived in Hongzhou, everyone was always careful, for fear that he would imprison and search them in his anger...
Surprisingly, this Lord Tang, who did such a big thing in Ezhou, seems not as fierce as he imagined.
Hongzhou's exams are in line with the rules, and Hongzhou officials are not particularly troubled.
It seems that Ezhou is just his use to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys this time. After all, if the two Jiangnan areas are really uneasy, he will not be able to explain it to the court.
After leaving Hongzhou, further south is Raozhou. After passing Raozhou and further south, it is Jiangnan East Road, and it is also the destination of Tangning's trip.
There are more than a dozen states in Jiangnan West Road, and Tangning handed them over to several minor officials of the Ministry of Personnel. In Jiangnan West Road, each state is frightened by the Ministry of Personnel. Except for Ezhou, the officials in other prefectures have a good attitude, so they should not encounter any obstacles again.
Before getting on the carriage, he looked back at Chen Zhou and asked: How many days have they set out from Ezhou?
Chen Zhou thought for a while and said: It will be ten days tomorrow
If you don't take a detour from Ezhou to the capital, ten days will be enough
During these ten days, the capital must be very lively. After those things are transported to the capital, it will be even more lively. Unfortunately, he is far away in Jiangnan and cannot see this lively scene.
……
The capital has been quite peaceful these days, but the undercurrents surging under the tranquility are something that ordinary people can notice.
The reason for calmness is that Your Majesty announced his stay for ten days on the grounds of his health. Even if some officials have any dissatisfaction, they have nowhere to express their feelings.
Of course, everyone knows that Your Majesty is not really in good health, but is a kind of escape. Tang Ning is his favorite minister. Your Majesty has no more trust in him. He has left any major matters to him. Naturally, he does not want to punish him, and even uses this method to escape.
At this time, the court had been closed for nearly ten days. The voices of the court's call for Tang Ning back to the capital to question the crime not only did not weaken, but instead increased.
Due to His Majesty's escape, the dissatisfaction of officials in Jiangnan with Tang Ning was quickly accumulated. Now, it is no longer limited to Ezhou.
Shangshu Province
The clerk of the official department looked at an old man and said: Tang Ning is lawless in Jiangnan and is causing trouble for the local area. Should the court watch it like this?
The old man was reviewing the memorial without raising his head, saying: When they come back from Jiangnan, whether it is the Ezhou official who is guilty or the Minister of Rites Tang Ning who is acting as a disaster in the area, everything will be clear.
The official department clerk continued: Even if an Ezhou official is guilty, Tang Ning is just a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. What power does he have to perform his duties on behalf of the court and on behalf of His Majesty?
The old man said: Didn’t Your Majesty give him the Shangfang sword?
The clerk of the official department looked at the old man, and suddenly changed his tone and said: But Feng Xiang thought about it, who has been given the Shangfang Sword since the founding of the State of Chen?
The old man paused his movements when he read the memorial, and after thinking carefully, his brows frowned.
Shangfang Sword is the highest power given to his subjects by the king. It can also be said that the ministers exercised the monarchy on behalf of the emperor. Shangfang Sword is easily granted. Since the founding of the Chen State, Tang Ning was the first to receive this honor.
The official department found that the old man's expression changed and set off the railway while it was hot: In ancient times, anyone who was favored by the emperor, arrogant because of favor and regarded the law as nothing, was not a slander. This person disturbed the court internally and was in a chaotic place outside, but His Majesty was blinded by him. For him, he ignored the opinions of his ministers and did not hesitate to stop the court for ten days. If he continued, the court would be in chaos...
The old man put down the memorial and showed a thoughtful look on his face
He was the right prime minister of the dynasty and had to deal with many major national affairs every day. A acting minister of the Ministry of Personnel and several Ezhou officials did not have any reason to pay special attention to him.
But as a king, for a minister, he regards the morning court as a joke and stops the court for ten days, and is a bit too fond of him.
There is a saying in the official department that is right. Even the concubines who are favored by the emperor will cause trouble to the court, let alone a great minister holding great power?
Whenever someone gets favored by the emperor, it is the chaos of the court and the reversal of the country.
He thought for a while and said: Go quickly to Jiangnan and summon Tang Ning, the acting assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to return to Beijing
The governor of Ezhou, Bianjia, Chief Secretary and other officials were imprisoned, and even their property was seized. The wealthy businessmen in the state were fined a large amount of taxes and silver, so they were able to complete the work.
