Chapter 812 Hai Rui is old

The Censor of the Capital is really powerful, has the power to supervise, and has the power to govern the local government. The Censor of the Left Chief is in charge of the Censorate, the Censor of the Right Chief is also in charge of the Beijing camp. The Governor and Governor of the Outing, the Governor of the Military Preparation, etc. must be appointed in the Censorate. This power is really amazing.

It is said that after Hai Rui's comeback, he was the right censor, and he was considered to have a high position. However, the Ming officials were divided into two teams, one in the central system of the capital and one in Nanjing.

Except for the Secretary of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, the other six ministers and seven ministers in Nanjing were standard idle missed. They were beaten to death in the capital, but they were not yet dead. They were often assigned to Nanjing to be idle. There is another type of person who is full of positions in the court. First, go to Nanjing to become an official, and get the grade up and make up for the lack of vacancies in the capital. This is another shortcut. More of the kind of person who is upset to look at it, and there is no need to be removed from office and become an official. They are all left in Nanjing.

Although Hai Rui and others are famous all over the world, they are also a role that thousands of people dislike in the officialdom. After their comeback, no one in the capital wanted him to come, so they simply gave him a false position in Nanjing.

Even so, Hai Rui still submitted memorials, and everyone in the world criticized Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, but he wrote memorials that he could not deprecate the words because of others. Zhang Juzheng's good governance should be reserved, but no one listened to it.

In Nanjing, everyone is a free official, so they live more freely than the capital. Qinhuai is famous all over the world, and I don’t know how many of them are held up by these idle officials. On weekdays, everyone pays a small amount of money to show off their faces and then they are free. Everyone knows this situation. Those who are a high-ranking official will pass and even have fun with their subordinates.

However, Hai Rui couldn't stand it. He submitted memorials to impeach these colleagues one by one, and even wanted to practice laws and impress them. This was really helpless.

He was famous all over the world, and putting him in this position was considered as a decoration for the imperial court. It was impossible to replace him, that is, he would pinch his nose.

These things are trivial matters. After hearing this, the imperial court would praise a few words without any pain, saying, "Hai Gangfeng is indeed upright." But when he was determined to keep his affairs in the Xu family in Songjiang, the imperial court would not be able to reach out to care.

It was said that people left and the tea was cold. Xu Jie died of illness in the tenth year of Wanli, but what kind of person was Xu Jie? He defeated Yan Song and determined the political situation of the Longqing generation and Emperor Wanli to this day.

Gao Gong is his companion, Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Siwei, Shen Shixing and others are all his disciples and descendants. Among the important officials of the third rank or above in the world, there are even more such people.

If the Xu family is moved, God will know whether it will attract hostility and attack from other high-ranking officials. When Hai Rui was the governor of Yingtian, he held real power and was defeated by Xu Jie, who was resigned at home. Now he is just a false position, so who will pay attention to it?

The Jiangnan prefectures in Southern Zhili have their own special features. Because of their rich local areas and strong cultural atmosphere, the Ming Dynasty selected scholars and the best performances were often from the Jiangnan prefectures. The children of landlords and rich peasants in these prefectures and counties were the group of people with the best results in the imperial examination.

Then the Ming Dynasty's official selection system, and this group of scholars with the best achievements will be called the Six Ministers, Ministers, Governors, Governors, Governors, Governors, and even the chances of entering the cabinet will be much more than in other places.

In the past two hundred years, the Ming Dynasty has accumulated over time. In the prefectures, prefectures, counties and counties in Jiangnan, there are relatives of senior officials in the court everywhere. If you have a backer, you will naturally have to buy a family business. The land annexation in Jiangnan is also the best in the world. The land in prefectures, prefectures, and counties is concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer people. While operating the land, these people invest their income in the fields and magnify their wealth like snowballs.

With more wealth, children can be given better learning conditions and can also make their children more smooth in the officialdom. Then, if this cycle continues, the power of local wealthy families will become larger, and the officials and scholars standing in front of their stage will be brighter in the officialdom.

Although such a place is a land of fish and rice, it is the most difficult and unlucky thing in the officialdom to be a local official.

The reason is very simple. You walked on the street in a sedan chair and hit someone. Before you could even wait for your temper, this master was reluctant to give in. When you asked this master that he had no fame, he thought why he was so arrogant in front of his parents. If you ask him carefully, he will find out carefully. Good guy, this master’s relative is a high-ranking official in the capital.

It sounds like a storytelling joke, but it is actually all real things. It is like the magistrates of Daxing and Wanping in the capital. They are official positions that are known as three generations of thieves and will only be rewarded if they are retribution. Because the jurisdiction is full of high-ranking officials and powerful people, what can you do as a seventh-rank county magistrate? The reason why it is difficult to become an official in the Jiangnan region is the same as this.

It is difficult for local officials to be officials, and the people of the court are very taboo about this. There are only a few prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, but there are 40% or even more officials in the world. The local forces are mixed together. One can often attract a party, and one can often attract a prefecture, a county, or even a certain faction in the court.

The various factions in the court have already shown signs of being divided according to the region. Among them, the factions with officials from Su Songchang’s three prefectures as the core are the most powerful and are active the most frequently. They gather in guild halls, poetry clubs, etc. on weekdays, exchange voices and support each other, and have become a force.

Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng are also among them. Although Li Sancai is from Tongzhou, he has a good relationship with this party and has a strong momentum.

Having said that, the biggest landlord in Songjiang Prefecture is the Xu family. Xu Jie once served as the assistant minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet. Xu Fan was a minister of the Ministry of Works. He had countless disciples and old friends. When they were in their hometown, they could also support scholars and even help them take care of them in the officialdom. I don’t know how many people got the help of the Xu family in the officialdom. In the local area, the first-class noble family members were to be sheltered by the Xu family. Over the years, it is conceivable that the power of the Xu family has reached.

If such an existence is touched and caused criticism from the government and the public, it would not be counted. If there are anyone among the big bosses in the court who are kind to the Xu family, and submit memorials or do something else behind their backs, then why bother?

Wasn't Hai Rui impeached and dismissed by Dai Fengxiang, and then was suppressed by Zhang Juzheng for more than ten years. Hai Rui still kept holding on to this matter. He was not afraid of being a bachelor, but the people in the court finally arrived at this position, and no one was willing to be attacked by the government and the public for this trivial matter, and even the big bosses in the court were behind the scenes.

Not to mention Hai Rui, even when Zhang Juzheng was at its peak, he did not go to Songjiang Prefecture to protect the land and hide the tax base. How many heads have been lost in the world? The Xu family has not moved at all. This is the foundation and style.

No one will accompany Hai Rui. Hai Rui is old and is said to be in a bad state. The Xu family may be his unfulfilled wish. He insisted on submitting a memorial, but the officials in the court will just be a joke, and no one will take it seriously.

In June, Wang Tong's great victory was settled, and the reward and the changes in the court caused by this great victory were determined. The victory of Li Chengliang in Liao Town was also confirmed. Even though the reward was generous to the Li family, the situation would not change much. The court situation is quite calm now, and everyone is a little bored.

The whip method was gradually abolished, and the silver collected by the court began to decrease again. With such a great victory outside the pass, the Ming Dynasty would be much less pressure on the nine sides. The Ministry of Revenue began to propose whether the military expenditure could be allocated less, but the Ministry of War refused to allow it. Everyone knew in their hearts that if there was less military expenditure, how many people on the Ministry of War would be less wealth.

It is because of the calm that Hai Rui's memorial was smiled and said as a gossip.

Xu Guo, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, smiled a few words, and still opened Hai Rui's memorial as usual. He always had to answer a few words and give a reply. For people like Hai Rui, it was not appropriate to stay or be silent. Anyway, the Silijian also gave a few words according to the rules, and the Cabinet was as usual.

He opened the memorial and looked at it a few times. He originally picked up the pen and sketched it in an instant, but the pen hesitated did not fall. After hesitating for a while, he got up and walked to the seats of Wang Xijue and Shen Shixing. At this time, the ministers of the various departments in the cabinet and the busy cabinet clerks all noticed it.

The relaxed atmosphere in the room gradually faded. Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue frowned and watched, and Wang Xijue whispered:

"Gei Master, Your Majesty may not know the entanglement of this matter, but you still have to explain it. The hornet should pay attention to what he did. When the Grade Master summons the right person tomorrow."

Shen Shixing raised his hand and said in a stern voice:

"How come Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing don't know the joints? Even if he doesn't know it, won't the Public Security Bureau check it?"

After saying that, he covered his hand and patted the memorial twice, and spoke loudly:

"Shangshu Wang, please come here and discuss with me if you have something to do."

Qingzhangtianmu is the department of the Ministry of Revenue, and Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is the chief manager.

"Long lively, Wang Tong asked his servant to ask when he would be hired."

Zhang Cheng asked with a smile, since Emperor Wanli had promised that Wang Tong would ask about his marriage when he came back, and he had no jokes. If he wanted to handle the procedures, he should not be blamed.

Emperor Wanli was eating Western snacks and drinking tea there. When he heard this, he also asked with a smile:

"Is the daughter of the Han family? Let me tell you in detail?"

"If you want to go back to the emperor, the woman's name is Han Xia, and she is the niece of the chief of the Inner Prison. Han Xia's brother turned out to be a hundred households of the Jinyiwei. This time he followed Wang Tong to Guihua City. He made great contributions and had many killings. After he came back, he said there were two arrangements, one was to be a battalion officer in the Huwei Army, or the other was the deputy Qianhu of the Police Department."

Emperor Wanli smiled and nodded, put down the snacks in his hand, wiped his hands, and said:

"Wang Tong got married with his subordinate's sister, and his relationship was closer and more caring."

Zhang Cheng smiled and was about to speak, but hesitated again after thinking about it. Although there was nothing unexpected, he instinctively felt that he shouldn't speak at this time. When he was silent, Emperor Wanli patted his forehead and said with a smile:
Chapter completed!
