Chapter 165 Chapter 72 [-] Found

Ordinarily, this matter is so important that Gao Wen should go directly to Xu Xuan.Going to find Diao Hualong first, wouldn't that delay things?
At the beginning, Gao Wen also thought so.But after walking a few steps, I thought about it and felt that it was not good to do so.In name, since I passed the examination of scholar, I can be regarded as Master Xu's disciple.The problem is, before that, he was a student of Diao Hualong, and among the disciples of the Xu family, his qualifications were not comparable to that of Diao Zhixian.

Even if there is no affiliation, in a sense, it would be an overstep to go directly to Mr. Xu, and it would be a big taboo for a group.When Gao Wen was at the work unit in his previous life, he had seen a lot of office politics, so he still had this basic common sense.

Sure enough, when he saw Diao Hualongzhong and told about it, Diao County Magistrate was shocked, and immediately said: "You stop, hurry up, let's go to see our teacher and report this matter." He paused again, and praised: "Erzhi can start from the subtleties and find out Gao Linghan's flaws. It's not bad, and it's not in vain for the teacher and the old man to look at you high."

Xu Zhen has completely turned against Gao Linghan now, and he intends to make a big news in Shaanxi.Helplessly, Gao Buzheng's methods are not comparable to him who has spent his whole life in the Imperial Academy, is used to building from a high position, and knows nothing about common affairs.Not only did he make the accounts in the yamen so stable that no one could catch any flaws, but he also kept setting up obstacles to cause trouble for him.

After searching in Xi'an City for the past few days, Xu Zhen found nothing.

The document of impeachment of Gao Lingyun had been rushed to the capital for [-] li to be submitted to the imperial examination, but he could not catch any evidence on his end.Once a commotion broke out in the court, Mr. Xu really couldn't get down from the stage.It is hard to say that it is impossible to fight a tiger, but let the hostile forces take the opportunity to get themselves down.

Thinking of this, Xu Yu felt worried, and his inner fire was strong.

He couldn't help feeling remorse in his heart, and sighed secretly: I was also in a daze trying to make a difference in Shaanxi, and ended up trapping myself in it.If he hadn't wanted to engage Gao Linghan, he would have gone down to become a magistrate or participated in politics at worst, and at least he would have kept his official position, so he might not have a chance to make a comeback in the future.It's good now, this is the only time I have to go back to Suzhou to retire safely.It's all Gao Wen's fault, if I hadn't listened to his words, how could I be so embarrassing today?
However, when a gentleman encounters troubles, he should work hard, how can he blame others?

After all, Old Xu was also a person who had studied all his life, and he was very calm. When he saw Gao Wen, he forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction with him, with a gentle smile on his face: "Erzhi is going to be the township exam soon, don't you think so?" Studying at home, what are you doing here? No matter how big this case is, can it be bigger than your fame and future? "

Before Gao Wen could speak, Diao Hualong exclaimed excitedly: "Master, I've only been searching outside for two days, so it can be regarded as being found out."

"What did you find out? Zilin, what are you doing in such a panic, have you given back the time you spent raising your energy to the saint?" Xu Yu's hand trembled unnoticed, and then clenched into fists tightly.

Diao Hualong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his Adam's apple rolled, and he repeated what Gao Wen had said to him earlier in a high-pitched tone.Finally said excitedly.

"Gao Wen, is this true?" Xu Yu's expression changed drastically, his eyes were all bright, at this moment, he could no longer keep calm.

Gao Wen nodded: "Teacher, I have already checked the truth. How important is this matter, how dare the students talk nonsense."

Xu Yu sneered: "The old man said how the chief minister's account is so good, and the number of horses in the nearby horse farms is also correct. It turns out that Gao Linghan gave me such a trick, someone with a heart! Come!"

The staff next to him: "What is Dong Weng's order?"

Xu Xuan: "Go and find out that it is true that the major firms lent money to Gao Linghan, and where is the cash stored?"

Gao Wen: "Teacher, why don't you go with the students too."

Xu Yu smiled slightly: "No need, Erzhi, you are going to take the exam soon. Although the teacher has little knowledge, he was born as a Jinshi in the second list. As for Zilin, he was also a Jinshi in the past. I dare not say anything else. For the imperial examination There is still a bit of experience together. Today we finally got together, if there is something you don’t understand when you are studying, you might as well say it.”

This is to give advice to Gao Wen personally.

Gao Wen knew that Xu Youzhen's knowledge was not comparable to that of Yu Xingyan and Shi Xianzhu.He came from the second place in the list, if he humbled himself and had little knowledge, Yu and Shi might not even be able to enter the school of knowledge.

Opportunity is rare, so it is necessary to ask for advice.

For stereotyped essays, it's too late to grind your guns before the battle. I hope that when I enter the examination room, the questions given by the great master happen to have suitable model essays for cheating, but the writing of official documents for the government can be strengthened.

So Gao Wen asked Emperor Xu Yu how to write the imperial edict and what format it was.

Mr. Xu frowned: "Er Zhi, the township examination does not take this test, why are you asking?"

Diao Hualong laughed beside him and said, "Teacher, I think Lai Erzhi is sure about the Shanxi Provincial Examination, so you don't have to worry about it. But for the next year's exam, you have to fight for it and make some preparations."

Xu Yu smiled, and said to Gao Wen gently: "It's a good thing that you have this spirit, anyway, I will explain it to you in detail."

It turned out that the rural examination in the Ming Dynasty was only to select talents with certain cultural accomplishment, action and willpower from the numerous students, but qualified officials were selected after the general examination.As an official of the imperial court, you must first know how to write the so-called official documents.Therefore, when it came time for the Jinshi examination, there was an additional question, which was to ask candidates to write a system, edict, edict, and imperial edict in the tone of the imperial court.

The so-called imperial edict, as the name suggests, is an imperial edict, which means that all the officials above the fifth rank and above who are bestowed by Tan Enfeng and the successors of the world lords will be issued edicts.The imperial edict means admonishment, and it is also used as an imperial edict. Officials below the sixth rank who were awarded by Tan Enfeng and those who have attacked the Spyker will use the imperial edict.Where the imperial court made arrests under the word of virtue, it announced the system of hundreds of officials.

It is the same as asking the court order, but it is used in different occasions and the format is also different.

In addition, in addition to the system, imperial edict, edict, and edict issued by the emperor, the orders issued by the prince are called teaching.The prince's decree generally appeared in the Tang Dynasty when the Eastern Palace was very powerful, or when the monarch left Beijing to supervise the country.

Gao Wen didn't know anything about this thing, when he asked Yu and Shi before, they didn't answer clearly.Seeing Xu Xuan, the former personal secretary of Ming Yingzong, at this moment, the opportunity is rare, so naturally he refuses to let it go.

After teaching for a long time and basically mastering the writing formats of these official documents, the staff who went out to inquire about the news came back, and replied with hands clasped, "I have already found out. Several big companies in the city have lent money to the chief envoy, Si Yamen." All the silver is stored in the warehouse of a rice company in Zhaowang Lane, which has been useless for many years. Now it suddenly becomes lively, with many servants and horses and horses coming and going. One of the subordinates paid off a guard to guard the warehouse. Jia Ding, now I know that in the past few days, a lot of silver has been stored in it, estimated to be several 10 taels. Before entering the warehouse, all people have to strip for inspection and change into new clothes."

Hearing this, the three people in the room straightened up at the same time.

Diao Hualong shouted: "Teacher, although a rice store has a huge turnover every year, as far as the students know, merchants seek profit, but every penny has to be rolled in the business. It is absolutely impossible to save several 10 taels of silver in the store." At hand, there is definitely a problem with this grain account.”

Xu Yu could no longer contain the joy in his heart: "Yes, it should be. Hehe, Gao Linghan really borrowed a large amount of cash from the private sector for short-term loans to buy horses and make up for the shortfall."

Diao Hualong shouted loudly: "Teacher, your old man should immediately lead troops to seal up the granary, and spread the word that all the dirty money will be confiscated. At that time, the merchants who lent to Gao Linghan must go to the chief minister to make trouble when they see the principal. At that time, Isn’t Gao Linghan’s crime of embezzling the Mexican government and subsidizing money revealed to the world?”

The staff member also said: "Dong Weng, what Diaozhi County said is very true."

"Well said, hurry up, go and invite Mr. Yu Yi, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, to come... Wait." Xu Yan was about to give an order, when he suddenly remembered something, and pondered: "The matter of sealing up the official warehouse is so important, I'm afraid it's not good if it really makes a fuss Confession. The country has its own system. Although I can use the king's order to strengthen it, I have to have a name. Moreover, even if the silver is seized, this official has no power to confiscate it, and it will not be returned to others in the future. In this way, It is impossible for the merchants who loaned money to Gao Linghan to testify against the chief envoy, Si Yamen."

Gao Wen's heart was moved again, and he interjected: "Teacher, the students heard that the Bailian monster entered Shaanxi to cause chaos. Last time when the criminal arresting the students returned to Xi'an to await trial, one of the arresting criminals named Gong Si colluded with Bailian The monster ambushed us on the way. This Gong Si belonged to Yuan Xinyun, so the students suspected that Yuan had something to do with the White Lotus Sect. It's a pity that Gong Si was killed by thousands of households, so there is no evidence. He is being imprisoned in the Prison of the Criminal Division, but he might as well be rescued. Let him come forward and testify that there is a white lotus monster hidden in the rice warehouse, and then you can seal up all the silver in the name of killing the rebels. Said these It's all stolen money, and it has to be handed over to the national treasury. If the money is not guaranteed, the merchants will naturally submit obediently."

In this way, Gao Linghan can be overthrown, and Daying and Xiaoying can be favored at the same time, why not do it?
"Inappropriate." Xu Zhen shook his head: "Even if the old man checks the rice warehouse and steals the money inside, Gao Linghan is the only one who loses. The debt he owes already exists. In the future, various companies can use the terms to ask Gao Buzheng envoy If you want money, why come out to testify?"

Diao Hualong interrupted: "Master is right, Gao Wen, this is just a bad idea!"

Gao Wen suddenly burst out laughing. Of course he couldn't do it because Xu Yu forced himself to be wild, so he said to Diao Hualong, "You don't know Diao Zhixian. Merchants, give the handle to people."

Diao Hualong was puzzled, and turned his small eyes to mung beans and asked: "I don't understand this. If there is no IOU, then the political envoy Gao Bu will turn his face and refuse to accept the loan and swallow the loan. How can merchants take such a risk?" ?”

Gao Wen leisurely said: "If I guessed correctly, the IOUs were issued by local officials and racecourse owners. After all, the Gao Bu political envoy is holding their hands, and besides, they are all grasshoppers running on the same line. You can’t run away from me either. Gao Linghan gets a lot of money from the imperial court and the horse administration during the weekdays. What the officials and racecourse owners get is just scraps, and all the money is confiscated. In the future, I will pay it back. Everyone can't afford it. The loss is too great, and Gao Linghan naturally has no way to make up for the loss. Of course, the merchants of various companies are aware of this. Hehe, in my opinion, as long as the granary is closed, the merchants will naturally There will be troubles in the governor's office, the merchants are unjust, and taking people's money is like killing their parents. At that time, who cares about high-ranking officials?"

"High, it's really high!" Diao Hualong shouted: "Men, let's do it immediately, and turn this Shaanxi officialdom upside down!"

Xu Yu also had a happy face, and said to his staff: "Go and invite Yu Qianhu to come over, and also bring my imperial envoy to the Criminal Division to pick up the eagle."

Gao Wen: "Teacher, hurry up and invite Yu Qianhu."
