Prince of Chaos

Chapter 585

"Have you heard?"

In the alleys of the capital, two seventh-rank officials in green robes had just come out of their small courtyard. The two met at the bus stop at the end of the alley, and one of them greeted the other.

These two were neighbors who lived in the same alley, one named Ding Jinke and the other named Qiao Zhengquan.

Ding Jinke pretended to be mysterious and asked his friend Qiao Zhengquan mysteriously.

Qiao Zhengquan stopped when he heard Ding Jinke's mysterious greeting, and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Brother Ding."

Ding Jinke said: "I heard our minister said in the yamen yesterday that His Highness and the Emperor are going to patrol Shanhaiguan."

When Qiao Zhengquan heard the news, he immediately became refreshed.

Qiao Zhengquan hurriedly asked, "Is this true?"

Ding Jinke proudly said: "What our department said, can it be true?"

Seeing Ding Jinke's triumphant look, Qiao Zhengquan no longer doubted it.

Ding Jinke is a subordinate official of the Ministry of Rites, and Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites is the Minister of Military Affairs and the tutor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It is reasonable for him to know some inside information that others do not know.

Qiao Zhengquan sighed: "Now the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been exiled, and the six subjects of speech have also been abolished. Such a big thing has happened, and no one came out to persuade His Highness. His Highness is the prince of the country, and has the important task of supervising the country. How can you leave the capital lightly?"

Hearing Qiao Zhengquan's complaints, Ding Jinke didn't speak up.

After all, he is different from Qiao Zhengquan. Qiao Zhengquan is a second-class Jinshi who is serious about the eight classics. He is currently editing in the Imperial Academy, while he is only a third-class scholar. Therefore, he was assigned to the Ministry of Rites to observe politics early.

However, since the emergence of the Military Aircraft Department, these Jinshi who were originally from the top three, naturally do not feel that they are inferior to the first and second grade Jinshi.

After all, with the presence of military aircraft, it means that they have the possibility to make further progress, and there is no need to nod and bow in front of Hanlin Qinggui as before.

Ding Jinke said: "Brother Qiao, do you want to go to the Shu to persuade me?"

Qiao Zhengquan shook his head and said: "No, I am a soft-spoken person, so I can't influence His Highness's decision. I just feel that this matter is too big. His Highness is now in charge of the country, and he is the god of the country. It is not good to leave Beijing easily."

In fact, Qiao Zhengquan's thinking is the thinking of most Qingliu scholars.

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperors before Emperor Yingzong, there were records of leaving Beijing for tours.

It is impossible for the remaining emperors to leave the capital for the rest of their lives.

If you have to leave, just wait to fall into the water.

Therefore, even if they are emperors, if they want to go out for a walk, they can only use the excuse of worshiping ancestors in the suburbs of Beijing to leave the capital for a period of time to get some air.

Otherwise, the civil servants must have tried their best to persuade the emperor to put the court first and not leave the capital.

But why did Zhu Changluo dare to do this again?
The reason is also very simple, because he has been out.

Last year, he led a group of ministers to Ji County once, so the ministers did not have much resistance in terms of acceptance.

Of course, there is another important reason, that is, Zhu Changluo's authority is too heavy.

He not only participated in the Shi Xing case, but also the Jizhen case.He also single-handedly led the Changping case not long after the dust settled, and even the Metropolitan Procuratorate was forced to undergo major surgery, and 97 censors were exiled.

Therefore, the current Zhu Changluo's power in Beijing has reached the point where all the officials can be subdued.

He wanted to patrol Shanhaiguan, but few people dared to stop him.

What's more, it's just a gossip now, whoever dares to use a gossip to rashly go to the Shu to persuade him will have serious consequences.

After all, Yushi Yandao has been reformed, and in the future, all speeches in Beijing must be based on facts and evidence.

If you imagine the original again, you will always be like a censor telling the court something, if it is true, it will be fine.

I'm afraid that what Shangshu said is out of tune at all, and this problem is serious.

If it is a matter of speculation and harmless to the general public, it is better to say that at most, it will be warned by the ICAC under the cabinet.

However, if what is said is not only false, but also attracts the attention of the government and the public, then wait for the ghostly anti-corruption agency to come to your door to send warmth.

Therefore, apart from complaining in private, the Beijing officials in Beijing now have begun to learn to be cautious in their words and deeds, and they are no longer like before, firing map guns at every turn.

After all, in the current environment of public opinion in the capital, one has to be responsible for speaking.

This has hurt many Qingtan people who have gained prestige by criticizing the imperial court.

However, there is no way, the cabinet and the anti-corruption agency are now grasping this.

Therefore, Hanlin nobles like Qiao Zhengquan are really helpless now, and miss the original freedom of speech very much.

Unfortunately, after Liu Keyong's case, all this is gone forever.

Ding Jinke listened to Qiao Zhengquan's words, but he didn't agree or refute.

Ding Jinke said: "Your Highness is a pragmatic person, and he doesn't like to gossip. You may not know it in the Imperial Academy. Some time ago, the Ministry of Officials selected a group of appointments from Xinzhi County and sent them to His Highness."

"According to the previous process, His Highness only needs to draw a circle, which is equivalent to the approval of the appointment of these new county magistrates. However, His Highness did not approve the appointment immediately, but asked the Ministry of Officials to confirm the appointment of these new county magistrates. Officials in Beijing went to Ciqing Palace to ask about politics."

"And guess what?"

Originally, Qiao Zhengquan was engrossed in listening, but Ding Jinke paused for a moment, and asked anxiously, "What's going on?"

Ding Jinke looked around, and then whispered: "As a result, these people were all rejected by His Highness. Then Sun Piyang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was called into the Ciqing Palace by His Highness for questioning. Now there are rumors that Sun Tianguan is selecting new officials. At that time, he bent the law for personal gain, and chose all the people who were rich, and His Highness severely reprimanded him, and it seems that the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs are about to be replaced."

After hearing the news, Qiao Zhengquan was shocked.

This news is indeed much bigger than His Royal Highness's tour of Shanhaiguan.

After all, the Ministry of Officials is directly related to their future future. If they don't pay attention to the situation of the Ministry of Officials, then this official should not be an official at all.

Qiao Zhengquan hurriedly asked, "Is this true?"

Ding Jinke looked at the nervous Qiao Zhengquan, and said, "It's absolutely true!"

After all, Ding Jinke saw a bus coming in the distance, and he hurriedly said to Qiao Zhengquan: "Stop talking, the bus to the direction of the Ministry of Rites is coming, I have to get on the bus first, so don't bother brother Qiao." gone."

Ding Jinke took his monthly bus card, gave the conductor on the bus a look, squeezed on the bus and left.

Most of the drivers and conductors of the current capital buses are low-level clans originally recruited by Zhu Changluo. Although these people have little power, whoever dares to cheat in front of them and use a fake ticket to do things will end badly of.

If anyone offends them, the clan government will directly intervene.

If, in the end, it's okay to take advantage of it, but if it's found out that it's unreasonable, it will be really miserable.

After all, the current patriarchal order of the clan mansion was personally received by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Playing with this official authority, that is, the old birthday star eats arsenic-he is impatient to live!
