At this time, Wang Xijue came up again and said, "Your Majesty is really angry about what happened in Henan Mansion this time, and even implicated one of my students! Now I'm afraid the front of our house will be unclean again!"
Everyone knew what he meant, that is to say, I am afraid that the person asking for help will come soon, and I am afraid that I will be very annoyed again! So Zhang Siwei said directly: "Then just stick to the door! It doesn't matter if there are one or two less students like this!"
After saying that, he took another step forward, roughly shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Juzheng, and then said: "Brother Taiyue, the officials below have done something a little too much in recent years. Do you want to give me a warning below?"
Zhang Juzheng thought about it and said, "There still needs to be some instructions below! At least give them a reminder. There are some things they cannot do!"
Then Zhang Siwei immediately said: "Then let me write this announcement!"
Zhang Siwei was naturally qualified to write this manuscript. So Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything, just nodded in agreement. But Zhang Siwei suddenly whispered: "Brother Taiyue, do you feel that His Majesty seems a little different today than in the past?"
Zhang Juzheng slowed down slightly and said, "What's the difference?"
Zhang Siwei frowned and said, "If something like this happened in the past, His Majesty would not only handle it strictly, but I'm afraid he would also have Jin Yiwei and Dongchang investigate the officialdom thoroughly! Today I just lost my temper over the Henan Prefecture case. , this is not like His Majesty’s past behavior. Is there any hidden secret in this?”
Zhang Juzheng laughed secretly when he heard this. He thought it was because Liu Haojia would definitely communicate with Emperor Wanli after receiving his list. He naturally knew that there would be follow-up, so he did not order a thorough investigation. But he couldn't tell Zhang Siwei the reason, so he just shook his head and said, "This old man doesn't know either! But the dozens of officials who fell in Henan Prefecture are enough to scare other places, so I don't want to get to the bottom of it!"
Zhang Siwei sighed after hearing this and said, "I hope so!"
Then everyone returned to the duty room, and with a stroke of his pen, Zhang Siwei wrote a document instructing all officials and ordered it to be circulated throughout the country. Little did he know that this document gave the following a wrong signal! That is to say, the case in Henan Province is over, and the issues in other places will not be pursued again! .z.
Because when similar things happen in the officialdom, there will always be a warning at the end, and a document is issued to alert all officials! Moreover, Jin Yiwei's handling of cases has never exceeded the level of one house before. Therefore, after this document was issued, the officials not only did not step up to clean up the traces of corruption, but relaxed!
They all feel that the unlucky person has taken care of the matter of secretly dividing the funds allocated by the imperial court, and everyone can enjoy it with peace of mind! Just when everyone was waiting for these unlucky guys from Henan Prefecture to be taken to the capital to be beheaded, the movements of the Henan Prefecture's Jin Yiwei gradually slowed down!
They began to repeatedly verify every clue and every confession, which made the prisoners miserable, and they all felt that it would be better to be sent directly to the capital to beheaded! There was no urging from the capital, but they were just waiting quietly for the development of the case!
Especially the people from Dongchang rushed to Henan Prefecture at a strange speed! Although it is said to be a normal speed, it always gives people the feeling of traveling around mountains and rivers. It always makes people feel like they are not in a hurry!
These strange things were indeed not discovered by local officials. Only those with a keen sense of smell can detect it. So many people restrained their minions and went into hibernation to prevent a sudden storm!
But things are different at the local level. They feel that since the matter has been brought to light, someone has taken the blame, and the court is angry and issued a warning, it means that the case is over! So the officials began to go in and out of brothels as usual and start their own wanton lives!
As time goes by, more and more people feel that something is not good! That is, people from Dongchang actually had a conflict with Jin Yiwei after they arrived in Henan Mansion! The reason is that there was a problem during the handover between the two parties!
Dongchang claimed that the amount of dirty silver stolen goods handed over by Jin Yiwei was insufficient. At the same time, he believed that Jin Yiwei failed to pursue the case and was suspected of dereliction of duty! Jin Yiwei accused Dongchang of talking nonsense. Everything they said and did was to grab credit!
The quarrel between the two parties delayed the handover, but this did not hinder other matters.
The officials are watching the fun! The factory guards were originally one, but now they started to fight on their own. How could we not watch such an interesting thing?
So Henan Mansion actually became a place that everyone in the Ming Dynasty paid attention to! This delay lasted for more than a month, and the matter in Henan Mansion finally came to an end. Jinyiwei and Dongchang jointly announced that all the clues about the criminals and the dirty silver and dirt had been investigated, and they could return to Beijing.
But just when all the officials in the Ming Dynasty were breathing a sigh of relief, news suddenly came out from Shandong that someone else was involved in secretly dividing the money for building river embankments! Then, after Shandong, memorials from Jinyiwei from all over the country flew to the capital like snowflakes!
At this time, officials all over the world were shocked! Because the Jinyiwei actually carried out such a large-scale operation in so many provinces of the Ming Dynasty, almost a thousand officials have been dismissed now! What on earth is this Jin Yiwei going to do?
Different from the surprise of the officials, Emperor Wanli was as excited as a chicken in the past few days! He would hold a memorial and curse at all the officials every day! And even Zhang Juzheng, the leader of hundreds of officials, was yelled at several times! The reason is that these officials are all under your control. As a result, problems have arisen in every province and government. How did you become the chief minister?
And the most annoying thing for the officials is that since Liu Haojia took over the Jinyiwei, they have been unable to see all the memorials of the Jinyiwei. What they can see is what Emperor Wanli let them see! So they definitely don’t know how many corrupt officials this Jin Yiwei has taken! So they had to worry about guessing which province or prefecture the new memorial they took out to Emperor Wanli every morning came from? So the atmosphere in the court was quite strange during this period!
All the officials in the court looked sad, but Emperor Wanli was happy! What he looks forward to most now is the daily morning court, because here he can vent his grievances against the civil servants! After breakfast, you will feel refreshed throughout the day and you can eat half a bowl more for breakfast!
Of course, the news in the court cannot be concealed, so the news that officials are arrested every day spread quickly! Now the capital is full of people talking about this matter!
However, this time the public opinion in Shilin did not appear to be divided. Instead, one side believed that what Jin Yiwei did was insulting to the gentlemen and must stop! At the same time, it is necessary to thoroughly re-investigate Jin Yiwei's case to see if there was any unjust, false or wrongful conviction, and was there any frame-up?
