The time soon arrived in mid-July.
Xing Jian, the Minister of Punishment, handed the paper to Jing Ziheng in the morning.
After reading it, Jing Ziheng threw the paper angrily, pointed at the ministers below, and almost cursed them.
All over.
Although Xiao Hansu, Xing Jian, Cao Chun, Mu Yuchen, Mo Xu and others also knelt down to listen to the scolding, most of them watched the fun with cold eyes.
But the ministers who were scolded were surprised, why should they be scolded?
There must be a reason for scolding, right?
But obviously the emperor would not tell them the reason until he had scolded them enough, so although everyone was a little anxious and wanted to defend themselves, they had to wait until he had finished scolding him enough.
This scolding continued for a long time, until Jing Ziheng was tired of scolding and said: "Look, what kind of officials are you all doing?
Starting from Shangshu and going down, who has done his or her duty?
Among the six books, Shangshu is the first. , Let me use an analogy, among the six departments, your minister is equivalent to the emperor of the six departments."
When everyone heard this, they all kowtowed: "I am terrified."
Jing Ziheng frowned.
He also knew that his metaphor was inappropriate, but for a while he couldn't think of any other metaphor.
"Okay, you don't have to panic.
I said it was just an analogy.
As long as you don't really think that way, it's okay.
Just tell me, everyone doesn't know what to do when it's business.
It's not business.
This brain The person who transferred it was Sun Jiaxing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Hubu, how do you manage your Ministry of Hubu?
Xing Aiqing’s investigation into the case of the Minister of the Ministry of War revealed many corruption incidents, especially the people in your Hubu who were the most embezzled.”
When Sun Jiaxing heard this, his body shook like a sieve and he didn't even dare to cry out that he was wronged.
Because the Jing Dynasty was rich, there were a few people in the court who were not greedy.
It was just that some were greedy in a small way and some were greedy in a big way.
Since everyone is greedy, they naturally tacitly agree not to speak out, so as long as they are not exposed, everything will be fine.
But they all know that once they are exposed, it will be a big deal.
After talking about Sun Jiaxing, the emperor pointed his finger at the Yushitai again, "You Yusheng too, what do you do for food?
Are the impeachment matters now to be done by other ministers?
You just watch and wait for me to get my salary.
I still support you.
What’s the use of the imperial court supporting you?
Why don’t you go home and farm as soon as possible so that you can make room for talented future generations.
I want you to supervise all the officials.
Where are all the supervision?”
The censors have not been very active recently, so they dare not take a breath.
Jing Ziheng became even more angry when he saw this, "Look, you only have this kind of virtue.
When you are not allowed to speak, you are as active as a flea.
When I need you to speak, you are silent like a dead person." of."
The censors couldn't help wiping their sweat.
The key point was that they didn't know what to say.
If it was said that the people in the Ministry of Finance were corrupt, how many people in the court who were really good at it would dare to stand up and impeach this matter?
Even if they dared, then They don't have any evidence either.
Impeachment without evidence but indiscriminately is impeachment without evidence.
Besides, there are also conflicts between censors.
You can't just impeach others randomly just to prove that they are censors, and then let other censors seize the opportunity to impeach people.

Step on it under your feet Jing Ziheng cursed for a while, but when no one responded, he stopped angrily: "Sun Jiaxing, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in view of this incident, your fault is too great.
I miss you who have devoted yourself to the country for so many years."
You have worked conscientiously since you came here and have not made any serious mistakes, so I will be punished for half a year and stay temporarily to see the consequences, but if you do it again, I will not be lenient."
Sun Jiaxing immediately fell to the ground to thank him.
In fact, he still doesn't know who in the Ministry of Revenue is corrupt and how it is related to Chang Yan's case of the Ministry of War.
Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and he seemed to understand a little.
With the incident about military pay, there were quite a few officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs who were related to the Ministry of War, and there were also people from the Duke of Lu in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
It was impossible for those people not to be greedy. .
He once wanted to clear out these people, but he always had to worry that they were supported by Lu Guogong and deprived him of his position as minister.
However, he was suffering from the lack of strong incidents and evidence to clear out the emperor.
The recruitment was probably to eliminate the influence of Chang Yan and the Duke of Lu.
As for him, he was just implicated.
Otherwise, given that he was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and had an issue with military pay before, the emperor would not have spared him lightly.
After thinking about this, Sun Jiaxing felt that the emperor was really about to stand up.
It seemed that he had to take sides if he wanted to keep his position.
Jing Ziheng vented his anger and left the court.
Jing Ziheng returned to the imperial study with a heavy heart.
Although everything found out so far was beneficial, there may still be one step left to reshuffle the Ministry of War.
What should I do?
Just when he was worried, Xiao Songzi said softly: "Your Majesty, Su Ji wants to see you."
The secret guards Su Qing gave him at the beginning had no names at first, so they were all given randomly by Su Qing.
After following him for a long time, Su Qing died again, and he didn't want to wrong her for training them for him.
The secret guards were there, so he gave them names again.
Su Ji was one of the most outstanding among the secret guards.
He was also the one who discovered the power of Lu Guogong's killer organization.
"Let him in quickly."
This time Su Ji was sent out to investigate Chang He's mansion.
He had been out for four days.
Normally, he would have been lurking in Chang He's mansion if there was no news.
Now that he is back, it means that he has news.
When Su Ji came in, he was not the only one, there was also Su Xun.
They were just about to salute Xiao Han and Su also came.
Su Xun used to be Xiao Hansu's man.
Later, he asked Su Qing to take it during training.
After the training was completed, he gave it to Jing Ziheng.
However, the content of Su Xun's training was to explore private information, which meant that he would go there regardless of the means.
Inquiry into other people's affairs, including government affairs and personal matters.
The three of them saluted the emperor first, and then Su Ji and Su Xun saluted Xiao Hansu.
Only then did Su Ji talk about the information he knew.
"Chang Huan has been very quiet these days.
He only sent one person to the Duke of Lu's mansion.
I don't know what he said specifically.
I forgive my incompetence for not knowing yet, but since then, Chang Huan has been quiet.
Stay at home, but this morning someone sneaked in and handed him something."
After saying this, Su Ji looked at Xiao Hansu casually, and then quickly lowered his head.

Xiao Hansu was stunned.
Could it be related to him?
Jing Ziheng also saw it and thought it was related to Xiao Hansu, so he said, "Su Ji, it's okay to say it."
Su Ji faltered for a long time before saying: "It's a plum blossom ding.
It was once used by General Su, the young general.
Now it is used by the former brother of the general, the fourth young master of the Gu family.
Seeing this, my subordinates are afraid that they want to If I want to use this to design anything, I decided to report back first.” x2412141:
