Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

After preaching to his son, Mr. Wang still wanted to investigate the officials of the central axis, whether it was for his son or for the court.Before letting his son go, Mr. Wang asked about the ambush. Hearing the inaction of the prefect and the city guard over there, Mr. Wang's face was so dark that he couldn't even catch anyone. land.

The next day, Mr. Wang handed over a brochure, and the magistrate and the city guard participated in it. At the same time, General Li also participated in the book.Old General Li, who hardly ever went to court, appeared in the court, which made many people feel uneasy. The old general first asked the emperor to question his crimes, and told himself how he was lax in running the army and training those who were derelict in his duties. Since the magistrate couldn't even interrogate the prisoners, the old general showed his old face for the safety of the children in the family.

Mr. Wang naturally cooperated with him, and the two sang together. Even if it was said that he was acting for his own benefit, if he did not make mistakes, how could he be caught? Mr. Wang does not feel that he has made a false accusation.

The magistrate and the city guard had an ominous premonition after the fourth prince left with the eldest grandson of the Li family and the imperial merchant, and the city guard counted the days in fear every day. The city guard's intestines are almost green with regret for giving part of the power to the former generals, and he doesn't think about the power of the Li family in the barracks.

The magistrate is calmer than the city. At most, he will be accused of being lax and dereliction of duty. It may have some impact on his official career, but he will not be in danger of his life. Unlike the city guard, the eldest grandson of the Li family, He doesn't have much power in the army, that is, training recruits, but he doesn't look at what his soldiers do after they come out. There are many like city guards, but few are as ungrateful as this one in his city.Speaking of which, this person in the city can be regarded as coming from the Li family, but in the end, he may have climbed up with other people. When something happened to the Li family, he seemed to be very enthusiastic. Procrastinate, procrastinate, wait until the person leaves to remember how powerful the Li family is.The magistrate sneered, not to mention what happened to the Li family, the current snobbery of the imperial merchant alone is not something officials like them can provoke. The emperor has publicly wanted to recognize the imperial merchant as his adopted son several times, but was blocked by the ministers, so he did not make it .The fourth prince, on behalf of the emperor, recognized Huang Shang as his righteous brother, and indirectly, he was regarded as his adopted son by the emperor.

Wang Xiujin didn't know what happened in the court, he was busy taking over the follow-up of his father's investigation of the ritual official who secretly cheated him.The ritual official's family can be said to be a little powerful. He used to be a bandit, and he turned to a serious business in the early days of Daliang, but he still kept a lot of bandits in private. In private, these bandits do a lot of evil, robbing civilian women is not a big deal, robbing wealth and land to rob treasures is commonplace, if Wang Xiujin's fortunes in those years hadn't built a bridge with the royal family, they would have been robbed by this family go.

Wang Xiujin looked at the message his father sent back, touched his neck, and lamented his good luck in this life. This family had already mixed up in Wu County when he and the fourth prince cooperated for the first time. If it wasn't for the people brought by the fourth prince to let those people Don't dare to act rashly, it is estimated that his life is long gone.When I first arrived in the capital, there was a lot of counterfeit goods out of a marinade shop, and this family was involved. Unfortunately, I didn't squeeze them out and folded myself in. The loss was not the slightest.From Wang Xiujin's point of view, this family is a bit smart, but it's just that the smartness is useless. If it is used to do legitimate business, they might have become rich by now.

After the dynasty was over, Wang Xiujin heard about General Li and his father's participation in the capital. Wang Xiujin really didn't sympathize with the magistrate and the city guard. If they were more careful, they wouldn't let people run away. It was one person, Wang Xiujin discussed with Li Sushan with the information given by his father, but he did not arrest the family of the ceremony official, but sent someone to watch him carefully, whether it was the ceremony official or the person he took away, outside After I can't get along, I will definitely look for opportunities to venture into Beijing to have a look. If I find that my home is the same, I may come back.

Not long after, the magistrate was dispatched to a remote place to be a county magistrate, and the city guard went back to the new barracks for retraining. After receiving the order, the city guard almost fainted. Where is the new barracks? That is Li Sushan's territory , he would like to come up with a new barracks, unless he was returning from the army.If he retired from the army and returned to his hometown as a city guard, he would receive some courtesy from the local officials. If a recruit came out of the barracks and returned to his hometown, then don't even think about it, even his relatives in the village would not look at him highly.The city guard wanted to seek help from a new backer, but that one turned him away.

Mr. Wang in the capital was busy with the affairs of those central axis officials. He didn't know if he didn't check it. When he checked it, he was really shocked. Mr. Wang even had the idea that what his son said was not alarmist.It took half a year for the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate these people. They found that the officials on the entire central axis of the girder accounted for [-]% to [-]%. This was more than he thought before. The officials below the central axis also accounted for Not a small amount can be described as shocking.The main officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate trembled after looking at the list. These central officials will slowly rise to high positions in the future, and after that, they will be the ones who control the power of the government. If I change my name and surname, I am afraid that I will also become the Emperor of Japan.

Naturally, Mr. Wang couldn't take care of this matter alone, so he invited all the six departments, three courts, and several court elders, and circulated the copied lists one by one. After reading these people's faces, all of them turned black. Each of them has their own careful thinking and plans for territory, but when external forces want to rob them of their interests, they will definitely form a group. They are now in their own hands, but they have to think about their juniors.

The few people who got together discussed how to arrange these people, everyone discussed and discussed, and finally decided to transfer some of these people first and arrange them to compile books in Hanlin.As for the others, those who made a little mistake were suppressed, and those who did not make a mistake were suppressed with an excuse.Killing is absolutely impossible, there are too many people.

After several people discussed it, it was forwarded to the imperial case. After reading it, the emperor was furious. He didn't say whether the way to deal with it was good or not. People have problems, what did you tell me?" Mr. Wang's expression was not very good, who would have thought that the problem was so serious.The rest of the adults didn't know what happened before, and now they listened to the emperor pointing to Mr. Wang, and they all had the mentality of watching the excitement.

In front of so many ministers, the emperor still saved some face for Mr. Wang. After hearing the opinions discussed by everyone, although the emperor's expression was still not good, he still agreed. Before they entered the palace, what they were most worried about was that the emperor would start killing if something went wrong. The time would not be known, so the common people would only think that the emperor was cruel.

In the evening, Wang Xiujin and Li Sushan were invited to Wang's house. Lord Wang told his son the results of the investigation. After Wang Xiujin heard it, he blinked his eyes. Should he be a prophet? At that time, his guess was also impatient. I thought about it randomly, but I didn't expect that it really answered his words.Li Sushan's complexion was not very good, so he asked if he could do something on the way for those officials who were dispatched to take office, even if not all of them had accidents, some of them could disappear.After Mr. Wang finished listening, he was silent for a long time, neither agreed nor refused, it was regarded as tacit consent.The mountains and rivers are rugged, and accidents may happen.

Wang Xiujin didn't intervene. He couldn't say that these crimes do not lead to death. When these things are developed and power is really achieved, will they show mercy to those who held great power before?What was the answer, he couldn't answer in the affirmative.

Wang Xiujin didn't pay too much attention to the follow-up of this matter. He only heard that the capital was frequently relocated years ago, and many people rushed to Beijing to take up their posts in the year before.Housing prices in the capital fluctuated slightly.What Wang Xiujin is most concerned about recently is that the ceremonial officer who has run away has a new development, and the people around him have returned to the capital.When he heard the news, Wang Xiujin was so excited that he almost jumped up. After waiting for such a long time, there was finally a movement.Wang Xiujin wanted to arrest the man immediately and ask him to understand, but was suppressed by Li Sushan.

"With the first one, there will definitely be a second one. Don't worry now, don't startle the snake." Li Sushan patted Wang Xiujin on the shoulder. "Won't let them get away."

With Li Sushan's guarantee, Wang Xiujin was relieved, but he still had to ask one or two questions every day, and even the purchase of new year's goods was only remembered by the shopkeeper Mi who came to call him.This year is not a good year. Many places in the court suffered from natural disasters. Fortunately, the national treasury is abundant, and the granaries in various places are also full. They are distributed to the disaster-stricken areas, and there is not much less.Where there is a disaster, there will naturally be a harvest, and the two phases are in balance, which is not much different from previous years.Before the government distributed the food, they did not need the court to ask, but they took the initiative to invite people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise, because they were afraid of being investigated afterwards.

In the past, when the government issued food, it was considered good if chaff was added to the food distributed by unscrupulous officials, and it was not uncommon to add sand to the food.With supervision, the officials automatically and consciously distributed good food, not wanting to win the Sacred Heart because of this, the county magistrates in some small places were promoted to be magistrates, the county magistrates didn't know what some big shots in the capital were thinking, they won After being promoted, I felt that what the emperor wants is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. He has a plan in mind. The emperor knows every action. As long as he thinks about the people, acts with restraint, and does not corrupt officials, it is not difficult to get promoted.

Because it is a disaster year, the emperor's reward is not big, and the annual banquet was canceled again. The emperor even said that from the first day to the third day of the junior high school, he must go vegetarian for three days to pray for the common people. How can the ministers who work for the royal family eat? Meat can only be vegetarian along with it.
