Among the six ministries in Jinling, the Ministry of Rites is probably the most awkward and boring, and there is nothing to do.

The Ministry of Revenue is the most realistic. They are responsible for collecting taxes, which is a good match.

As for the Ministry of Personnel, they have to be responsible for the examination, which is considered to be a firm grasp of the power.

Gu Keqing was the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel who was responsible for the examination. Although he was incomparable to the Ministry of Personnel in Peking, he was considered to be of high authority.

But Gu Keqing was deeply saddened by his younger brother's sudden death, and then he took leave to deal with it. He then came back to continue his duties and was praised by the Ministry of Personnel.

The Taiping Prefecture's incarceration of some people did not attract the attention of Jinling at all. Gu Keqing was still calmly working in the Ministry of Personnel 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 threw most of the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel to Gu Keqing, but he was looking for loopholes after he took over.

On that day, Wei Zhi went to Zhu Zhanji to get familiar with him, and then returned to the Ministry of Personnel. Gu Keqing came to report on the affairs of the past few days.

After hearing this, Wei Zhi was very satisfied and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will say a few good words to you in front of the palace."

Gu Keqing bowed and said, "Thank you, sir, but... Na Xing and Bo have not come back yet, so I don't know what they are here for."

Wei Zhi was in a good mood today and said, "Who knows! But the relationship between Your Highness and him is extraordinary, so he will not restrain him, just treat it as Xiu Mu."

Gu Keqing smiled and said, "That's good. But after Your Highness arrived in Jinling, he didn't see any changes. I'm afraid... I'm afraid I'm here..."

Wei Zhi said secretly: "This matter is not something that we ministers can guess. We just need to do our duty well, and there will be nothing to do."

Gu Keqing smiled and said, "Yes, what the lord said is..."

In the following days, the Ministry of Personnel was calm and turbulent, until something happened to the Ministry of Public Security Bureau. Only then did Wei Zhi ask someone to come to Gu Keqing.

But after a long time, I didn't see anyone. Just when Wei Zhi's anger began to accumulate, the little official came back.

"Sir, Lord Gu didn't come today."

Um?

Wei Zhi frowned and said, "What happened to the court? Your Highness summoned officials above the Minister of the Secretariat. I guess he wanted to teach a lesson. Gu Keqing did not ask for leave from this official, so why didn't he come?"

Even if there is an urgent matter, Gu Keqing has to send someone to ask Wei Zhi for leave according to the rules.

Wei Zhi stood up and said, "Forget it, if Your Highness blames you, even if he is in trouble."

...

When he arrived at Zhu Zhanji, Wei Zhi saw his colleagues and... Fang Xing.

"Your Highness, Gu Keqing, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has not arrived today, and I am frightened."

Zhu Zhanji said lightly: "What should come will come naturally."

After almost the same arrived, Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice: "The case in Taiping Mansion has been revealed."

What case?

Everyone was confused. Actually, it was not their fault, because there were a lot of people arrested everywhere every year, and no one would care about these things.

Fang Xing stood on the left side of Zhu Zhanji and said, "Gu Keli of Taiping Prefecture was beaten to death. Later, the Taiping Prefecture Prefecture magistrate Zhang Yuqing arrested the perpetrators, and then... they were all tortured to death..."

Can ancient times stand?

In an instant, all eyes glanced at Wei Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Zhi remembered that Gu Keqing had not come today, and his heart was shocked and said, "Your Highness, Gu Keqing has not claimed leave to me today."

Everyone suddenly felt a thrill in their hearts, thinking that something was going to happen, and they couldn't help but look at Fang Xing.

This guy has no good things every time he comes to Jinling. This time he went on a trip, the case of Taiping Mansion broke out after he came back. It can be seen that the trip was fake and the case was real.

Wang Shuyue, the Minister of Justice, changed his expression and hurriedly defended: "Your Highness, Taiping Mansion said at that time that the murderer who killed Gu Keli had been caught. I think he is still in Taiping Mansion!"

The Ministry of Justice did not follow up in time, which was a dereliction of duty! Even dereliction of duty!

Fang Xing said, "After Zhang Yuqing was arrested, he immediately revealed the whole story. After the incident, he found Gu Keqing. Lan Weiye of the Inspection Office was the same year as Gu Keqing, and sheltered them from it. The purpose of Zhang Yuqing and Lan Weiye was just to be optimistic about Gu Keqing's career, so the three of them colluded and took human lives apart!"

oh!

Suddenly everyone's hearts were relieved, and everyone couldn't help but exhale. It sounded like a sigh, so they were all shocked.

If those people were killed just to vent their personal anger, and there was also the reason why they beat Gu Keli to death first, that is, the officials vented their anger for the death of their younger brother, and they would not be very involved.

Just remembering the three officials, they went there. Everyone could not help but feel sad, so they felt that Fang Xing was the hard work of the southern officialdom.

Zhu Zhanji said coldly: "But do you know the reason why Gu Keli was beaten to death?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Zhu Zhanji sneered: "He said after drinking that the late emperor died well!"

Well!

The ministers were frightened!

Damn Gu Keli, you started talking nonsense after drinking some cat urine. Now it’s a big deal!

"Your Highness, I am guilty of not being able to control myself."

Wei Zhi made a decision in an instant and went to Guan to apologize.

Wang Shuyue, the Minister of Justice, was even more upset and had to apologize.

Zhu Zhanji looked at them coldly and said, "I have not had the habit of venting anger on anyone. Your father will naturally deal with the crime of misunderstanding. I only hope to see the atmosphere in the Jinling officialdom clear, otherwise... cleanse the turbid and promote the clear, which is also the purpose of my trip! It will all be dispersed."

The ministers were in their hearts and slowly went out. When they left the mansion, they saw Gu Keqing.

Gu Keqing, tied to a wooden stick and carried by two soldiers.

"You're going to be a sin!"

The ministers stood far away as if they were avoiding the plague god, and then watched Gu Keqing being carried into the courtyard.

...

"Thank you."

After the ministers left, they woke up and thanked Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "It's just a matter of doing it."

Originally, Zhu Zhanji could have taken the opportunity to attack and then take over Wei Zhi and Wang Shuyue, but he did not cause any attack.

This is the handle that makes two people afraid of being afraid of the enemy.

"Brother Dehua, it's very difficult for the father."

Zhu Zhanji said quietly: "He wanted to stretch his hands and feet like the emperor's grandfather, but he encountered great difficulties."

"The big fight can be suppressed, but what are the consequences? The father does not have the prestige of the emperor and grandfather, and the civil servants must be hiding, but the warriors will take the opportunity to start. At that time, the situation will be in trouble."

Fang Xing comforted him: "Even if there are a group of people, they still have to change the soup and not the medicine, so they have to find an opponent for them."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "That's why I suppressed this matter and I will be more sure at that time."

The literary style in the south is so prosperous, but when you wake up here, you must spread some science. However, the resistance will be great. If you can suppress Wei Zhi and Wang Shuyue, at least you will have less trouble.

"The relationship between a king and a minister is like a wrestling arm. If you are strong, they will lie dormant. If you are weak, they will gain a better position. Your Majesty uses the power to fight with force."

Zhu Gaochi used the last civil and military dispute to suppress the civil officials' temptation, which was considered a victory.

But those civil servants are a group. If Zhu Gaochi cannot divide them, he will still be like being in a thorn in the future and will be unable to move forward.

Fang Xing remembered the later party struggles. Is there any imperial mind tricks in it?

Divide and govern it, fight without breaking!
