Clam Pearl

Wen jumped into the well, and the whole of Beijing was shocked. A while ago, in Beijing, he was still spreading the bad idea of ​​the Seventh Master of the Gu family. As a result, on the first day Gao returned to Beijing, he forced his daughter-in-law to jump into the well. Suddenly, some people seemed to realize that up.

Gu Zhao didn't expect that he was in the process of laundering. In the past few months, relying on the people he borrowed from his elder brother and the new recruits from the knife and pen department he brought, he has opened up the stalls of the Qianding department and started to get on the right track.One day, one month, one month passed, and when I got busy, I felt that the past passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, half a year passed, but I didn't expect that early in the morning, a group of officials selected by the Ministry of Officials came to report.

The Ministry of Officials has always been the territory of Ding Ying and Hu Ji. A few months ago, when Gu Zhao took the position of Chief Qian Ding, the two had some opinions. , that is, not to appoint relevant officials.One is to suppress Jinshang, you have your own ideas, but the rules are with us.Secondly, these two look down on Gu Zhao at all, and it's okay to trip him up a bit.They didn't expect that Gu Zhao was not at the same level as these people at all, so Gu Zhao didn't care about it from the beginning to the end. Who knows who is standing behind the sent people? If possible, Gu Zhao would rather not come here. comfortable.

Qian Ding Division is a new yamen, because the chief officer is a third-rank yamen, so this yamen is a third-rank yamen. It is rare that this yamen is not affiliated with any of the six departments, and belongs to a special independent office. Well, within a hundred years, Qian Dingsi's bowl of rice will still be delicious.

One yamen, one chief, two servants on the left and right, five doctors under the subordinates, and ten principals.The chief officer is from the third rank, the left and right servants are from the fourth rank, the doctor is the fifth rank, and the principal is the sixth rank.Not to mention the more than 30 junior officials from the eighth rank to the ninth rank.

A full-staffed institution can gather hundreds of bureaucrats, big and small. Such a fat new yamen will be given as it is today, and no one will discuss it with anyone.This breath has been held from spring to the end of autumn. Immediately, the Ministry of Criminal Justice will report the criminals, and today they will outline the population and close the case for interrogation.

For half a year, Dingying and Taifu Hu have been waiting for Jinshang to say something soft.

However, I never asked about it today, and once it came and went, this matter was suspended, and now it is difficult for anyone to step down.

Of course, they would prefer Gu Yan, an old bastard, to lose his temper and confront the bureaucrats directly, so that they can find a chance to vomit their bitterness and hurt Gu Zhao, a young bastard who was born as a dandy, what can he do? Can be the chief executive of a yamen?All civil and military officials have been holding back this sentence, but they dare not ask.It doesn't matter to ask today, but Gu Yan and Gu Guogong are easy to provoke?

No one said a word, not today, the officials who appointed officials were silent, the Shaofu who was in charge of office supplies were silent, and the household department who was in charge of salaries were silent. They kept holding back for half a year.Then, the Ministry of Households couldn't hold back anymore. Over the years, the distribution of official salaries has always been the matter of Mr. Gao Qixian, the right servant.His family has old grievances with the Gu family, so no matter how many people you employ now, I look at the procedures of the Ministry of Officials. I dare not withhold the salary of the chief, but the people below, I have to discuss with you if I withhold it?

Because only Fu Ji, a small official, was the only helper in the Qian Ding Division, so Fu Ji did not receive salary subsidies for half a year.As for the others, Gu Zhao borrowed and transferred. Half of the people's salaries went to the account of the Sword and Pen Department, and the other half went to the account of the Ministry of War. The last one who suffered was the doctor Fu Ji.

Does Fu Ji care?He doesn't care, he spends all his food, clothing and flowers at the master's house. When the master is happy, why don't you give him some supplements?The five-rank official has about [-] mu of fertile land every year, and the total annual salary is about [-] guan.Fu Ji thought, let's just save it, and it would be a good thing to receive a large sum of money all at once, as long as we don't distribute rags and rotten food, we can do whatever we want.

Now, the Qiandingsi Yamen has opened an account at the Ministry of Accounts. Except for the official salary, various subsidies are about [-] guan per month. Account expenses.

In this way, from the opening of the government to the present, the top has been appropriating funds, and the bottom has no expenditure. Since the founding of the country, there has been no such money-saving institution.Scraping to and fro, the officer couldn't be bored, so he knocked a few words, so Gao Qixian couldn't hold back anymore, he just wanted to hear Gu Yan or Gu Zhao say a few soft words to him.But I don't want to, no one from the Gu family came, so do whatever you want.

A few days ago, there was a rumor that Mrs. Gao went home and made a fool of herself, forcing her daughter-in-law to jump into the well.

In the early morning of this day, the Ministry of Officials sent a chief to bring all kinds of money to Qiandingsi Yamen to pay the money. To be honest, in the past, everyone in this Yamen was an uncle, and there was no welfare for door-to-door service.Now it is the first time to send money to the door.

The principal's surname is Gao, and he is a relative of Gao Qixian's family.He was sent here for the sake of safety, when he was about to leave, Gao Shilang repeatedly gave orders, but he said a few lies and complained, and he admitted it with a good temper, and started, but he was not afraid that they would not ask the Ministry of Accounts in the future.Mr. Gao agreed, and took the account book with him, and set off on a business trip.

Mr. Gao came all the way to Qiandingsi in a shaft car, but he didn't expect to reach the alley entrance, but saw a row of more than 30 dispatch vehicles from the household department blocking the alley entrance of Qiandingsi.Master Gao was curious, so he got out of the carriage, and after a few orders, he ran to the front to watch the fun.

He ran all the way to the gate of Qiandingsi Yamen to see that it was all right, but saw that the gate of Qiandingsi Yamen was closed tightly, and the Fu Lang of Qiandingsi was standing at the gate of the Yamen with a smile on his face. The adult said: "So that Mr. Feng knows, my parents and officials said that now with the yamen on that road, everyone will go back wherever they come from. Now that life is over, we can't afford to support so many people. Qian Dingsi doesn't want it. Where are you?" Where do you come and go?"

The right servant of the Ministry of Officials is a dignified official of the third grade, and this is an official of the Ministry of Officials, and he has been seen as a third-rank official since ancient times.Mr. Feng has suffered this anger.He wasn't supposed to come today, and the officer said, you go, then Gu Qi is not easy to provoke, now he is holding back, your family is old with Mr. Ding, both of them were from the Guardian Star.Thinking about it, Gu Qi had to give some face to suppress his temper.

Master Feng thought about it, forget it, let's go!He's on official business, let him go.Who would have thought that Gu Lao Qi is really not an ordinary stubborn boss, if he said no, he would not be allowed to enter the door.Now there are dozens of officials behind him, and they will eat at the door of the chief from now on, so they don't dare to fight against the chief before entering, so they all wait quietly and dare not make a sound.

Mr. Feng was very angry. He had been sent off as an official for more than 20 years, but he had never seen such a senior officer. He kicked out all his subordinates as soon as the market opened. He was not in the same place. Does he not want to do it in the future?

"Fu Ji, I don't want to talk nonsense with you. Tell Gu Zhao to come out. I have something to tell him." Mr. Feng is a third-rank official, so it is only natural to reprimand Gu Zhao.

But Gu Zhao didn't go out, that's a matter of course, he is the first-rank title, Duke of Pingzhou County.

Fu Ji still said with a smile on his face: "My lord, don't embarrass me. I can't do anything about it. The officer ordered that the Qianding Division is now open for June, and no officials have come here to report the difference. Since they don't like it Don't come to this small yamen in the future."

As soon as Fu Ji said this, all the subordinates who ordered the report today had to kneel together. There was no way, this was an official rule.If the Shangguan is dissatisfied, you have to kneel down, regardless of whether you have to obey the arrangements of the Ministry of Officials.

Feng Zhi was trembling with anger, some things were really hard to put on the surface, he saw that Gu Zhao meant to tear his face, come on!He's not frozen anymore, and there's nothing wrong with him, so let's take someone back with him!He thought of this, just as he was about to leave, Fu Ji didn't want to be around and asked again: "Is it from the Ministry of Households over there?"

After hearing this, Chief Gao hurriedly came over with a smile and said, "It's the lower official, we have spent a lot of effort to raise money for the relocation of the Ding Division! The officer just received Xiajun's first payment of the year yesterday, so he hurriedly sent the little one away. It was delivered by someone, and the money is behind, hey, my lord's sum is more than half a car, it can be [-] guan, plus various miscellaneous expenses can be a thousand guan! My lord, do you want to count?"

Fu Ji didn't smile this time, he stood up straight and said to Master Gao: "My lord knew yesterday that the Ministry of Accounts would come to send money today, but my lord said, where are you coming from, where are you going back! Go ask Ask Gao Qixian, is the household department run by his family? Whoever he wants to pay the loss to, he can send it to whichever one? Is it possible that if the family does not deal with him, he can withhold the loss and salary of the other family. From this point of view, The civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty are all tenants of his Gao family, and the flowers are spent with his family's money?"

Director Gao turned pale and said: "Master Fu speaks seriously, but the villain is just a low-level official. The villain is not clear about the affairs here. Besides, the household department has the rules of the household department. If there is no money in the account, you will be mad. Let us There is no way!"

Fu Ji smiled and said: "Qian Ding Division also has the rules of Qian Ding Division. Now that the yamen is open in June, the household department will neither send out losses, nor will you come here in the future. Now my lord has written a memorial, and I want to attend your visit." Book."

Director Gao flicked his sleeves: "Your adults can participate as long as they want, but you don't need to tell the villain. The villain follows the rules. If you don't want money, we will naturally pull it back. There are too many yamen waiting for money. Mr. Fu, do you want your salary, or do you want a villain to take it back!"

Since ancient times, the Hubu's tone has been so loud!

Fu Ji smiled, took out a roll of memorial from his sleeve, and said, "Fu Ji doesn't want that money! I've also written a memorial now, and I want to join your parents! Go back and tell him... Xiaguan's house has no rice to cook in June , the old grandmother is going to starve to death now, Fu Ji is not filial to the elders in the family, so this official Fu Ji doesn't want to be an official, so that you can know that Fu Ji is a bit more courageous, and before he dies, the subordinate officials also want to drag him How many people are stepping down? Naturally, Fu Ji is very familiar with dragging people into the river, and he has done it not once or twice!"

Master Gao's head went numb, and he remembered that this master was the one who dragged Wukang's officials down from the stage.In a few days, Shangjing will be slaughtered in autumn. I am afraid that one or two hundred heads are related to this person.Thinking of this, he smiled awkwardly, cupped his hands, and flashed away if he couldn't provoke him.

Master Feng sighed and said: "Fu Ji, you are poor and come from a difficult background. Now, you have provoked the bureaucracy and the household department. Do you want to have a future in the future, kid? You dare not learn from your master , what kind of family his family is, even if he is not an official, his family has a future of generations, wealth and honor for hundreds of generations, you..."

Mr. Feng said this out of good intentions. In all dynasties, there has never been an official who dared to challenge the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households with his neck up. Who are you!

Fu Ji Surong put the memorial in his sleeve, thanked Lord Feng very politely, and said after thanking: "Thank you for your guidance, but Fu Ji was just a lonely refugee back then, and almost starved to death in a foreign land. If it weren't for my mentor, Fu Ji would be where he is today. "

Lord Feng nodded and said: "Repaying kindness is not what you do. They have their own free will and the capital to play with the world! You should go back and dissuade your lord, it is better to calm things down."

Fu Ji shook his head lightly and said, "My lord, my lord is not happy, and we can't be comforted by eating or sleeping. As said outside, Fu Ji is the number one lackey of the Gu family. But Fu Ji feels that This is wrong! Fu Ji is the running dog of my mentor! Now that my mentor released merely, Fu Ji didn’t kill a few of them. I’m sorry for my mentor’s kindness in saving lives and teaching me, and I’m sorry for the lackey’s praise, you Say yes?"

Master Feng was stunned. Since ancient times, no one has defamed himself so frankly, claiming that he is a dog who helps his master to bite people. This is the first one in all ages.

So, the boss looked Fu Ji up and down, and then laughed, he said: "Gu Lao Qi is lucky! Boy, come and sit with me when you are free, and we two are chatting, how about it?"

Fu Jibei smiled and said: "I'll go back and ask my teacher if he has any old grudges with you. If not, I'll bring the good wine from home. I dare not lie to you. My master's winemaking skills are first-class."

Mr. Feng laughed, turned around and left. He didn't have anything to do here. He just went back and returned to his life. He can't control this matter. Whoever stirs it up will eat it!

Gu Zhao and the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households had a quarrel, and this matter was much bigger than that of Wukang.Don't look at Ukang's hundreds of heads and how many houses were confiscated.What Gu Zhao did was to challenge the unspoken rules. He was like provoking more than half of this well-known figure in the court at once.

That night, many people did not fall asleep, especially the chief of the Ministry of Officials and Household Affairs. It was even more uncomfortable tossing and turning, feeling that the ears were burning and inappropriate.

That night, many people outside the house of Pingzhou County asked to see him, and even Gu Yan sent someone to call Gu Zhao to talk.But Gu Zhao is lucky, once the gate is closed, he will not see anyone!

In the early morning of the second day, almost all the imperial envoys posted their notebooks, and there were even two officials in charge, Zhang Tu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zuo Shi, Minister of the Household Department, handed over the notebooks to Gu Zhao.

Even after reading the pile of memorials today, he was also angry, so he ordered someone to call Gu Zhao for questioning.

As we all know, Gu Zhao, the Si Zheng of the Qianding Division, is not in the court, and I don't understand why such a person is used today.Therefore, while the courtier was waiting, he quietly went to see the Gu family members, Gu Yan who was standing in the front row, Gu Maode and others who were standing in the back.

The strange thing is that the Gu family is very honest today, they still have the same temperament as before, they don't speak, don't interrupt, keep their expressions, it's up to you.

Not long after, Gu Zhao came outside the hall. Emperor Tian Cheng's tone was a bit bad, and he said directly: "Call in!"

The hall official called out: "Call in!"

Standing outside the hall, Gu Zhao could feel his ears shaking from the loud voice. He pinched his ears, sighed, held up the jade gui and proclaimed long live, stepped into the hall, and fell to his knees as soon as he entered.Before his knees touched the ground, a sentence suddenly came from above: "Mian, get up!" Gu Zhao sighed again in his heart, what a play!You can't act!

Gu Zhao stood up and looked up, then left and right, then he still held up Yugui and asked in a submissive tone, "I don't know why the Holy Majesty summoned his ministers?"

Immediately, everyone from the top to the bottom took a deep breath, what else do you want to ask today?It's outrageous!

Immediately, some imperial envoys came out of duty, all knelt down on the ground, accusing Gu Zhao of more than a dozen crimes with blood on his face.If established, it would be enough to chop off his head seven or eight times.

Gu Zhao glanced sideways at the imperial envoys, but didn't say a word, whatever you like to say, I'm just like that!

Jinshang's complexion suddenly darkened, he looked at Gu Zhao and said, "Gu Zhao!"

"The minister is here."

"Do you have something to say?"

"But I don't know which case my lord is asking about? Want to hear what the minister said?"

Gu Yan could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. He coughed vigorously and had no choice but to kneel down and apologize.

I can't do it now, so I ordered someone to help Gu Yan to get up, but Gu Yan refused, just pleaded guilty again and again, saying that he would die! .

"Gu Zhao, do you know why you were asked to go to the court today for interrogation?" I had no choice but to change the subject and ask Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao held up Yugui and replied, "I... know a little bit, but not in detail."

Imakami's voice was surprised: "What do you know?"

Gu Zhao said frankly: "Yesterday, the officials from the Ministry of Officials came to send off their subordinates, and the minister ordered them to be sent back. Later, a small official from the household department came to send the yamen's wear and tear, and the minister told them to go back."

"Om..." Then the place suddenly became chaotic! ! ! !

Immediately, more than half of the people knelt down, all filled with righteous indignation, Qi Qi wanted to refer to Gu Zhao's crimes of disrespect, dereliction of duty, etc. At that time, there were still tears, and they almost wanted to die with Gu Zhao, and they would never die!

It's outrageous! , how dare you speak like that?In the past, I heard that Gu Lao Qi was a fool!Just thinking, no matter how stupid he is, can he surpass his elder brother Gu Yan?Looking at it now, I am afraid that it is more than that.Gu Yan fights and swears, and he has to grasp some reason. Now, this one is simply defiant, it's too shameful!

Sun Xi stood up and shouted, "Silence!"

It's still noisy down there!

Sun Xi said again: "Be quiet!"

still noisy...

Sun Xi shouted again: "Quiet, quiet..."

There was still chaos down there, so Sun Xi had no choice but to turn his face to look at Emperor Tiancheng. Emperor Tiancheng didn't speak, but picked up the teacup in front of him, raised it to his body, and drank it unhurriedly.After drinking, he took the vermilion pen, took one side of the memorial and began to review it seriously.Today, while reviewing, I also gave instructions to the left and right, thinking that I need to use some records, so the little eunuchs I assigned started to move.Suddenly, it was divided into three layers upwards.

I'm busy with business today.

The imperial envoy was heartbroken over there, filled with righteous indignation.

Gu Zhao was flirting with his brother, occasionally seeing Ah Run's demeanor, and thinking, yes!From this point of view, Ah Run is really good.
