Chapter 643 Using the Seventh Prince as bait, it is clear that the courtiers are not upright

"Mr. Wen, you have done a good job! Your Highness's man, County Magistrate Yan, has been imprisoned by the East Factory because of you!"

"No need to say, Mr. Cai was guilty of a serious crime of treason! His own son had to break off relations with him in the newspaper and angrily denounced his father as a traitor!"

"More than 20 officials from the Ministry of Revenue, more than 100 officials of all provinces, were also implicated. He was dismissed from office and questioned for accepting bribes in the policy of relocating the clans!"

"More than 600 gentry gentry were locked and taken to Beijing because of this!"

"Many of these people are supportive of my elder brother as the crown prince. Is it really good for you to do this?"

When the seventh prince Zhu Ciluo saw Wen Yuren coming to see him, he knew that Wen Yuren was showing kindness to him. While he was proud, he also asked Wen Yuren about it.

"Your Highness's clarity! I have to do this!"

Wen Yuren replied.

"What a last resort, let's talk about it, why did you have to?!"

Zhu Ciluo asked after snorting coldly.

"If you don't do this, how dare Your Majesty trust me? What value does it have to you?"

Wen Yuren asked.

Zhu Cifeng was stunned for a while after hearing this.

Then, he laughed and pointed at Wen Yuren: "Okay, okay, you Wen Yuren! You are so personal. You are no match for Brother Ling! You will do anything to do for your own official career! I have underestimated you in the past!"

"Your Highness praises you! As the saying goes, one general succeeds and thousands of bones are woven. There are so many governors in the world. Although I am the younger brother of the assistant minister, if you want to be favored by Your Majesty, you will not be able to succeed if you don't do something that shocks the world!"

Wen Yuren said, "Now, I am here to be rich and honored by my Wen family for generations. I am willing to be the front pawn of Your Highness for your commandment!"

"Very good! Very good! Mr. Wen is indeed extraordinary!"

Zhu Ciluo was very happy after hearing this, and thought he had not lost money. Although Cai Ge Lao, who was close to him, fell, he got the entry of Wen Yuren, the younger brother of Wen Tiren. In this way, it would undoubtedly be possible to get the relationship between Wen Tiren.

Of course, if an ambitious prince like Zhu Cixuan wants to expand his power, he naturally has to use money to bribe the court officials, which also requires money to make money.

Therefore, Zhu Cixuan next talked about making money: "Now, we cannot expect to make profits from the fact that we have divided the family members. For the sake of his reputation, the eldest brother has expressed that he will personally go to various prefectures and counties in Jiangnan to determine the list of the family members. You also know that my eldest brother is famous for being ruthless, and we cannot expect him to let us take this opportunity to make a fortune!"

"Fortunately, the Seventh Prince, you are in charge of the Emperor's eldest son, and won the hearts of the people. Otherwise, to be honest, we really don't want to run for the Emperor's eldest son. In my opinion, why not, your Seventh Prince, you fight for that position yourself, and why do you fight for the Emperor's eldest son?"

Wang Maofang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but say something at this time.

Wen Yuren glanced at him and said to himself, "Okay, Wang Jixi, I think you are too greedy, and you even fantasize about the Seventh Prince becoming the emperor in the future. However, you don't know that the Seventh Prince is the bait placed by His Majesty in the court, just waiting for you to take the bait. Not only do you take the bait, but you also want the Seventh Prince to keep the bait. It's really foolish!"

"Oh! Let's not talk about this. After all, the eldest brother is the eldest son. I can't fight for it. Now I'm talking about getting rich. Now Mr. Wen is just going to work with us for the eldest brother's reserve position, so he has a chance to get rich. This opportunity is another political matter that the court is doing now. The matter is transferred to various places to serve as patrol stations and post stations as grassroots officials. This matter is the responsibility of your Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War. Mr. Wang and Mr. Wen are each the officials of the department. It is better to seize this opportunity and take the opportunity to make money. Whoever gives more will send him to the best place."

Zhu Cihui said.

"Your Highness, please remind me that the Ministry of War knows what to do, but I don't know what to do."

Wang Maofang looked at Wen Yuren.

Wen Yuren replied: "The patrol institutions in various places were originally formed by the integration of the command and inspection departments of the imperial court and the provincial command departments of various places. Since their responsibilities have been changed to local public security, the appointment of officials is still recommended by the Ministry of War. The appointment of the Ministry of Personnel is highly valued by His Majesty and promoted to the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This matter can indeed be handled."

"Okay! At that time, the Ministry of War will recommend the official list to various places for officials, so please don't do it."

Zhu Cihui said.

"Don't dare!"

Wen Yuren replied.

"It's great. At that time, you will be the officials and the second department of the military will receive 30% each. I will ask the people in the Western Factory to hand over the tax payment to the Ministry of Revenue first. Someone from the Ministry of Revenue will deliver it to you specifically."

Zhu Cihui said.

But a few months later, after Wen Yuren received the recommended list of the Ministry of War and received the funds sent by the Ministry of Revenue, he directly submitted a memorial saying that the Ministry of Personnel had a money of unknown origin. In addition, the number of new officials in the Governor's office selected by the Ministry of War was more than the actual number of guardians in the Governor's office. The Ministry of War was paid for the salary, so the court asked the court to investigate it strictly.

Then, Wen Yuren introduced a Bai Gan soldier who came to Beijing to sue the imperial court to Chen Que, who had been promoted to censorship, and then asked Chen Que to submit a memorial to local officials for asking him for bribes.

After receiving these memorials, Zhu Youxiao also understood the real purpose of Wen Yuren's sudden interaction with the Seventh Prince, and therefore looked at Wen Tiren:

"I'm a good official! The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel conspired to earn some salary together, and even sold some positions as grassroots officials. I guess it was the unspoken rule that had been acquiesced to these two ministries. He was very good and actually exposed it on his own initiative."

Zhu Youxiao said, "Transfer to the officials of the Three Laws and the officials of the Second Military Department to the Political Affairs Hall, and then interrogate them in front of the imperial court! In addition, the East Factory will investigate whether they have any other illegal activities."

"My brother has always been a dissatisfied person. Only when His Majesty's wise can he be ranked among the tribes. Otherwise, with his nature, how could he reach the current official position?"

Wen Tiren replied with a smile.

...

After a while.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice, Marble, and Censorate have arrived.

And the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War have arrived.

Zhu Youxiao also asked, "Who is Wen Yuren?"

Wen Yuren hurriedly stepped out of the list and replied: "I have met Your Majesty!"

"Tell them what you found, they are afraid they are not clear, especially the Minister of the Shangshu and the Left Minister in your ministry!"

Zhu Youxiao said.

"yes!"

Wen Yuren said: "I suspect that officials from the Ministry of War have joined forces with local officials to sell official positions and titles! Even the Ministry of Personnel has more officials and has received empty salary!"

Wang Maofang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, shivered after hearing this, and looked at Wen Yuren in shock.

"Whoever did this happen in your Ministry of War, please come forward on your own initiative. I have asked the East Factory to investigate. Do you really want the East Factory to investigate and talk about it?"

Zhu Youxiao asked.

Everyone knows that the Dongchang nominally investigates, but it is just a frame-up! And it is a direct frame-up! Therefore, if you don’t confess at this time, you will undoubtedly end up even worse, and you will directly commit the crime of treason.
