Domineering Daming

Everyone was startled, Fang Kongxuan's words were full of murderous intent.

But Cao Bushan is not afraid, he has an invisible coat, outsiders can't figure out his relationship with Cao Wenzhao, no one dares to touch him, even Fang Kongzhao!

"Lord Fang, I am an official ordered by the imperial court, so naturally I don't just ask 'what to do,'" Cao Bushan said with a bit of bluntness, and said with a wooden face: "Now the imperial court's new policy has caused a problem for me. As a subordinate official, He has the right to truthfully explain the real situation to the officials so that the court can deal with it prudently."

"What Master Cao said is true!"

"I also ask Mr. Fang to play the court and discuss it in the long run."

As soon as a group of people saw Cao Bushan stand out, they followed suit one after another. They all stood by Cao Bushan and confronted Fang Kongxuan. It can be said that he, the governor, had been isolated.

The governor's yamen is not perfect now, there is only one bald-headed governor, Fang Kongzhang looked at the attitude of the group of people, and secretly snorted, "Once the Governor's Council and the Criminal and Prison Department are formed, everything will be up to you!"

He also heard the rumors about Cao Bushan's background, and he was not afraid, and said in a deep voice: "Since you don't just ask 'what to do', then think about what to do! I will give you two days to write the memorandum. Cheng, if you don’t write, if you don’t write well, you don’t have to go back!”

Everyone's face changed drastically, especially Cao Bushan stood up abruptly, and shouted: "I am an official ordered by the court, even if you are the governor, you can't detain me privately, otherwise I will definitely write a letter to the emperor to impeach you!"

"That's right, even the governor can't imprison us without permission!"

"Master Fang is still cautious in his words and deeds, don't make any mistakes!"

"Master Fang, please be careful!"

Even Shi Bangyao's expression changed slightly, and he looked at Fang Kongzheng with a frown.

What these people said is correct, Fang Kongxuan's actions are against the law, and once the court investigates it, the crime will be extremely serious!

Fang Kongxuan snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "If I want to detain you, I will put you in prison directly! The two days you are given are to wait for the cabinet order. Once the cabinet order arrives, all the 'defeat' officials in Jiangsu will , the governor's yamen will have the power to appoint and dismiss!"

Everyone here, including Shi Bangyao, was shocked. This Lord Fang really dared to mess around!

Chapter 679 Some People Have Changed

Fang Kongxuan's attitude was unusually tough, and he had an overview of the power. These magistrates used to cover the sky with one hand, but here, they felt "humiliating" for the first time.

Before the apocalypse, Ming's superiors and superiors were gradually blurred, cliques were rampant, and the standard of behavior and doing things was "righteousness". No matter how big your official is, as long as you have a little flaw, you can entangle a group of people, file a letter of impeachment, and make troubles. .At this time, whether it is for the sake of clearing the name or protecting one's life, those who are impeached, from the cabinet ministers to the magistrates, will write "resignation" wisely, with a firm attitude and without hesitation.

This is also one of the reasons why the crony style in the Ming Dynasty's official circles has become more and more intense. There is no authority, no prestige, and everything is aimed at personal self-interest.

However, it is different now.

The line of speech officials has been eliminated from the system, and the science and education, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have all become history. Today's emperor is deeply disgusted with party formation, and all officials in the world are cautious, not wanting to be caught by anyone.

The most important thing is that the governor's office now has more powers, such as appointing and dismissing them-this is hitting the nail on the head!

A group of people were secretly angry, but there was nothing they could do. After all, this was the governor's office.

Everyone, including Shi Bangyao, was arranged in a large class room, where they were served with pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Cao Bushan held the pen, and stopped abruptly when he wanted to write several times.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the new policy of the imperial court is to "rob" the rich and powerful people. If they write it now, they will have no way to meet people when they go back.

Bi Zikang held his arm and frowned, the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

He is also a Jinshi, and now he is the magistrate of Suzhou. It is expected that he will enter the Sixth Ministry and the cabinet in the future. Why is he forced to write such a thing now!

Shi Bangyao is very comfortable, and he has been studying it recently. What he wrote is calm and unrestrained, and he has a long-awaited draft.

"Lord Cao, does Master Fang really have the right to dismiss me from office?" A magistrate asked in an uneasy voice after hesitating again and again.

As soon as this person opened his mouth, everyone else turned to look at Cao Bushan.

They have all heard about Cao Bushan's background, so they must know some inside information.

Cao Bushan frowned, staring at the white paper in front of him with an obscure expression.The Governor's Council has not yet been formed, and it stands to reason that Fang Kongxuan does not have such power, but if it is really authorized by the cabinet, it will be different.Even he was within the scope of Fang Kongxuan's dismissal.

Seeing that Cao Pushan was silent, Bi Zikang said with a gloomy face, "Fang Kongzhang is doing wanton things in Nanzhili. I will never stop here. I must impeach him!"

The others were worried. Bi Zikang was talking about something later. The key now was what Fang Kongzhang was going to do. Locking them here now was definitely not just about their attitude.

Now the whole of Nanzhili is full of uproar, from common people, gentry, dignitaries to government officials, there are not many Ansheng, they are all disturbed by disturbance, dare not take a step further.

Wang Beicheng, Mr. Wang, has recently closed the door, quietly studying at home.

Wang Jinyou's life was not easy, and there was no hope of coming back. Once the governor's yamen's notice came out, his official career was completely cut off-even the chance of the Governor's Council was gone!

"Father." Wang Jinyou looked calm, but his tone was full of unwillingness.

He is only 40 years old this year, and it is the best time for his official career, how could he be willing to be excluded like this!

Wang Beicheng walked up and down the study room with a book in his hand, as if he didn't hear Wang Jinyou's words.

Knowing that his father was listening, Wang Jinyou kept looking at him and said, "Father, the governor's yamen has offended almost everyone in Nanzhili, and they are isolated everywhere. Push him to step down, and we have the final say on the matter of Nanzhili! The imperial court will definitely realize that Nanzhili cannot be shaken by them with a single word, and there will definitely be changes..."

Wang Beicheng paused, stopped, and turned to look at Wang Jinyou. Even though there was no expression on his old face, it still gave people a sense of sternness.

When Wang Jinyou saw it, his expression became more and more certain: "Father, Fang Kongxuan is alone. As long as we exert pressure from inside and outside, he will definitely understand the general trend and know what to do!"

Wang Beicheng sighed softly, walked back to the chair and sat down, looked at him and said, "I have always told you to calm down and study in peace, but you never listened to me, you were so clear-headed, you talked all day long, and lingered in Qinhuai On the river, use the name of that so-called 'talented scholar'..."

Wang Jinyou was startled, and said, "Father, didn't you support me in doing this before?"

Wang Beicheng looked up at him again, shook his head again, and said, "If it was before you ascended the throne today, these things would be harmless, but, don't you still see the reality clearly? Today's emperor is determined to innovate, and no one who opposes it will end well. If I'm not wrong, the emperor has already arrived at Yingtian, just kept observing, casting the net quietly, waiting for the fish to jump out, and now it's almost time to close the net..."

Wang Jinyou's face changed slightly, and he lost his voice: "Father, you said the emperor has arrived at Yingtian Mansion?"

Wang Beicheng picked up the teacup and said calmly: "How could the emperor in Henan grasp the affairs of Nanzhili so carefully? Look, the emperor will take action in a short time. Anyone who participates in opposing the 'New Deal', no matter the salt merchants, Whether it's an official of the government or the opposition, or the patriarch of a big family like my father, I can't escape..."

Wang Jinyou's ears were already dripping with cold sweat, and he was shivering.It's fine for him to play tricks behind his back, but if the current emperor finds out, he will definitely die!

Wang Jinyou's eyes flickered quickly, and he said dryly for a while: "Father, then what should we do?"

Wang Beicheng raised his head, the corners of his eyes twitched, put down his teacup, and said indifferently: "Didn't that Gong Dingzi come to you before? Promise him to make a hundred households. Whatever he told you, you will do it ten times harder. If you can't do it, For the father will come forward."

Wang Jinyou's complexion changed drastically, and he said, "Father, Gong Dingzi wanted us to support the 'New Deal', and he still wanted to fight against other rich and famous families, how could this be..."

Wang Beicheng sneered, and said, "Do you think it's still the past, and you can live in peace and enjoy peace by guarding a few acres of land? Remember what I just said, and do it honestly. If you can't do it, I will replace it with someone else, my son of Wang Beicheng. You're not the only one!"

Wang Jinyou's eyes were wide open, and the corners of his mouth twitched. This was completely different from what he thought. His father unexpectedly stood on the side of the court!

"Father..." Wang Jinyou looked unwilling. If the "New Deal" of the imperial court continues, not only will their money and food be damaged, but their careers will also be greatly hindered. It will be a major blow to their royal family and even the whole of Nanzhili!

This is something that no normal person would agree to!

Wang Beicheng ignored him, and said more and more indifferently: "I will go to him tonight, and also, write a letter to Zhou Yingqiu. You know how to write it. Let me have a look before sending it out."

Wang Jinyou didn't have the courage to resist his father, he frowned tightly, his face changed, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and nodded, and walked away full of dissatisfaction.
