Chapter 1553

Among the six parts of Jinling, mostly only the ritual department is the most embarrassing and boring, with nothing to do.

The Ministry of household is the most honest. They are responsible for collecting taxes, which can be called a beautiful job.

As for the Ministry of officials, they should be responsible for the examination of merit, which can be regarded as holding the power firmly.

Gu Keqing was the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of officials in charge of the examination of merit. Although he could not compare with the Ministry of officials in Peiping, he could also be regarded as a high power.

But Gu Keqing was deeply grieved by his younger brother's sudden death. Then he asked for leave and went back to deal with it. Then he came back to continue to perform his duties and was praised by the Ministry of officials.

The imprisonment of some people in Taiping mansion did not attract the attention of Jinling at all. Gu Keqing still worked calmly in the official department until Zhu Zhanji and Fang woke up to Jinling.

Wei Zhi was also very satisfied with Gu Keqing, so after Zhu Zhanji arrived in Jinling, he threw most of the affairs of the official department to Gu Keqing, but he was looking for loopholes after he took over.

That day, Wei Zhi went to Zhu Zhanji to get familiar with his face, and then returned to the official department. Gu Keqing came to report the affairs of these days.

After hearing this, Wei Zhi was very satisfied and said, "it's hard. I'll say something nice for you in front of your highness."

Gu Keqing arched his hands and said, "thank you, sir, but... That Xinghe Bo hasn't come back from his trip. I don't know what he's here for."

Wei Zhi was in a good mood today and said, "who knows! But his Highness has an unusual relationship with him, so he won't restrain him. Let's take it as Xiumu."

Gu Keqing said with a smile, "that's good, but your highness hasn't seen any changes since he arrived at Jinling. I'm afraid... Sir, I'm afraid he's coming..."

Wei Zhi kept a secret and said, "it's not something we can speculate about as ministers. We just need to do our part and naturally nothing will happen."

Gu Keqing said with a smile: "yes, what the adult said is..."

In the following days, the official department was calm until something big happened in ducha hospital. Wei Zhi asked someone to find Gu Keqing.

But I didn't see anyone for a long time. When Wei Zhi's anger began to accumulate, the little official came back.

"My Lord, Lord Gu didn't come today."

Huh?

Wei Zhi frowned and said, "there was an accident in the hospital. Your highness summoned officials above the waiter to teach a lesson. Gu Keqing didn't ask for leave. Why didn't he come?"

Even if there was something urgent, according to the rules, Gu Keqing had to send someone to ask Wei Zhi for leave.

Wei Zhi got up and said, "well, if your highness blames him, even if he is unlucky."

……

When Zhu Zhanji arrived, Wei Zhi saw his colleagues and... Fang Xing.

"Your Highness, the official department's left servant Gu Keqing is not here today, and the minister is terrified."

Zhu Zhanji said faintly, "what should come will come naturally."

After waiting for someone to arrive, Zhu Zhanji said in a deep voice, "the case of Taiping mansion has been sent."

What case?

In fact, they are not to blame for their ignorance, because many people are arrested everywhere every year, and no one cares about these things.

Fang Xing stood on Zhu Zhanji's left side and said, "Gu Keli of Taiping mansion was killed. Then Zhang Yuqing, governor of Taiping mansion, arrested the murderer, and... They were tortured to death..."

Kookoli?

In an instant, all eyes glanced at Wei Zhi intentionally or unintentionally.

Wei Zhi remembered that Gu Keqing didn't come today. His heart jumped and said, "Your Highness, Gu Keqing didn't ask for leave today."

Everyone suddenly felt a clatter in their hearts. They felt that something big was about to happen. They couldn't help looking at Fang Xing.

Every time this guy comes to Jinling, it's not good. After this trip, the case of Taiping mansion breaks out. It can be seen that the trip is false and the investigation of the case is true.

Wang Shuyue, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, changed his face and hurriedly defended: "Your Highness, the Taiping House said that the murderer who killed Gu Keli had been caught at that time, but I thought he was still in the Taiping house!"

The Ministry of punishment didn't follow up in time. This is dereliction of duty! Even dereliction of duty!

Fang Xing said: "after Zhang Yuqing was arrested, he immediately told the truth of the matter. After the incident happened, he went to Gu Keqing. LAN Weiye of the inspection institute was Gu Keqing's same year and sheltered them. The purpose of Zhang Yuqing and LAN Weiye was just to value Gu Keqing's official career, so the three colluded and put their lives on the line!"

oh

Suddenly, everyone's heart was relaxed. Everyone involuntarily exhaled. It was like a sigh, so they were startled.

If those people were killed just to vent their personal anger, and there was also a reason why they killed Gu Keli first, that is, the officials were just venting their anger for the death of their younger brother, which had little involvement.

Just think of it, I went to three officials. It's hard to avoid the feeling of rabbit death and fox sorrow, so I think Fang Xing is the bitter hand of Southern officialdom.

Zhu Zhanji said coldly, "but do you know the reason why gukeli was killed?"

The crowd shook their heads. Zhu Zhanji sneered and said, "he said after drinking that the first emperor died well!"

Uh!

The ministers were frightened!

Gu Keli of NIMA, you started talking nonsense after drinking some cat urine. Now it's a big deal!

"Your Highness, I'm guilty of poor control."

Wei Zhi made a decision in an instant and went to the crown to plead guilty.

Wang Shuyue, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, was even more annoyed and had to plead guilty.

Zhu Zhanji looked at them coldly and said, "the palace has no habit of dispiriting anyone. You and other crimes of neglect will naturally be dealt with by your father and Emperor. The palace only wants to see the atmosphere of Jinling officialdom clear, otherwise... Clean up the turbid and clear up, which is also the purpose of the palace's trip! Let's go."

The ministers went out slowly. When they got out of the mansion, they saw Gu Keqing.

Gu Keqing, who was tied to a wooden stick and carried by two sergeants.

"Do your own evil!"

The ministers seemed to be avoiding the God of plague and stood far away, then watched Gu Keqing be carried into the courtyard.

……

"Thank you."

After the ministers left, Fang woke up and thanked Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile, "it's just easy."

Originally, Zhu Zhanji could take the opportunity to attack and take Wei Zhi and Wang Shuyue, but he turned a blind eye.

This is the handle for two people to throw a rat repellent.

"Brother Dehua, it's hard for my father."

Zhu Zhanji said faintly, "he wanted to stretch his hands and feet like grandpa Huang, but he encountered great difficulties."

"A big fight can be suppressed, but what are the consequences? The father and the emperor have no authority over the emperor's grandfather. The civil servants must be obedient, but the martial arts will take the opportunity to rise. At that time, the situation will be in trouble."

Fang Xing comforted: "even if you change a group of people, you still change the soup without changing the medicine, so you have to find an opponent for them."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "that's why I put down this matter. I can be more sure at that time."

The literary style in the south is prosperous, and Fang Xing came here to spread science. But the resistance will be great. If it can hold down Wei Zhi and Wang Shuyue, it will at least have less trouble.

"The relationship between kings and ministers is like pulling a wrist. If you are strong, they will hibernate. If you are weak, they will advance an inch. Your majesty uses his strength to fight well."

Zhu gaochi took advantage of the last civil and military dispute to suppress the temptation of civil servants and win a game.

But those civil servants were a group. If Zhu gaochi could not divide them, it would still be like being in thorns.

Fang woke up and remembered the later party struggle. Is there any imperial mind skill in it?

Divide and rule, fight without breaking!

This is too difficult!
