Xiyuan, this is the power center of the Ming Dynasty, and every decision will have a far-reaching impact.

Among the current cabinet members, Yan Song is still the main one, Xu Jie is the auxiliary, while Yuan Wei is more of it. However, this situation has changed quietly, and the second auxiliary Xu Jie is quietly rising.

Xu Jie, wearing a python robe, sat upright at the table, handling some of the assigned memorials seriously.

Although these memorials all came from remote places and were all trivial matters, he carefully wrote down every memorial because these memorials were hard-won.

Because Yan Song monopolized the power, Yan Song had always been firmly in his hands. After he and Li Mu entered the cabinet, he helped Yan Song handle some daily affairs more, and even had a long time with Yuan Wei.

I always write green words for the emperor.

However, with Yan Song's age, Yan Song was seriously ill due to the pain of losing his wife, and his energy was too inferior to before, so he took the opportunity to get some votes for the memorials.

Facing the memorials from remote places such as Yunnan and Guizhou, although they were all trivial matters, he still enjoyed the feeling of making a vote, and every decision could affect a certain corner of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, a chieftain in Guizhou killed a deputy Qianhu of the Ming Dynasty. After he proposed to conduct an inspection, he proposed to attack him. As a result, the chieftain's family was taken to the capital to severely punish him.

If he had chosen to calm down and not advocated a scrutiny, then there would not have happened later. The chieftain who was about to be beheaded will continue to enjoy the good days of the local emperor.

The same is true. He has a great influence on the feeling of this vote and likes to participate in this specific government affairs.

"Dad, Shangshu Guo is here to find you!"

Xu Fan came in from outside and looked energetic. As Wanshou Palace was about to be cultivated, the emperor would reward those who had meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious meritorious merit, which made Xu Fan look very excited for a while.

"The official has met Mr. Xu!"

Guo Pu walked out and saluted respectfully at Xu Jie.

Although Xu Jie was very tired of his son's frequent appearance in his duty room, he only faced Guo Pu who followed him in, but asked with a smile: "My husband, why are you looking for me?"

Guo Pu looked at Xu Fan, then said quietly: "Nothing is big! It's just that I haven't seen Mr. Xu for a long time. I came here to visit him and wanted to ask what instructions are there for the external investigation?"

"I have already stated that everything is up to the Secretary of State Guo, and there is no need to ask me anymore!" Xu Jie glanced at his son Xu Fan and said frankly.

Xu Fan was anxious and blurted out and reminded: "Dad, Leizhou..." He only said halfway, but Xu Jie glared at him with his eyes, forcing him to swallow the words back.

"Then the official will say goodbye first!"

Guo Pu pretended not to know and bowed respectfully.

Xu Jie was the second assistant. When he finished his first rank nine years, he was awarded the title of Minister of Personnel by the priest. It is said that Xu Jie can intervene in external investigations, but for some reason, Xu Jie has not expressed much yet.

.

Xu Fan looked at Guo Pu pretending not to slip away, as if he was still unwilling to give up, afraid of missing this rare opportunity, but suddenly said, "Shangshu Guo, have you ever recorded what I said that day?"

At present, in the Beijing Inspection period, those local officials were trying every means to hold their thighs. As the eldest son of the second assistant of the dynasty, Xu Fan was now valued by the emperor, which is naturally one of the goals of local officials to overcome difficulties.

But this young master Xu is a person with good face and aspires to become a person like Yan Shifan. He wanted to recruit some people to strengthen their Xu party, but he agreed to some people's requests.

Xu Fan just met Guo Pu at the door and immediately pulled the person in. He saw that his father didn't mention anyone, so he let Guo Pu go. He didn't care about his father's emotions too much.

Why!

Guo Pu sighed inwardly. After all, Xu Fan entered the officialdom with a cute heart. It was not only a matter of origin, but also a matter of political literacy. It was really not much better than Yan Shifan.

Some words do not need to be said at all, especially in the cabinet.

Why did Xu Jie not express his opinion? It was because Xu Jie knew that this external investigation was targeting the Yan Party, and the many positions that were vacant were found. No matter how this cake was distributed, Xu Jie's piece was indispensable.

Guo Pu paused, coughed lightly, and then left Xu Jie's paying room and turned toward the innermost paying room.

Xu Fan seemed disappointed and turned to look at his father.

Xu Jie's face turned blue with anger and ordered with a cold face: "Go back to the construction site!"

"Yes!" Although Xu Fan didn't know what he did wrong, he still went back obediently.

Cabinet, Chief Auxiliary Valuation Room.

Yan Song was still lying in front of the case as usual, and was seriously planning a memorial.

When the ticket was halfway through, his pen stopped there and started to sleep. Because of the incident, he felt a sense of crisis. Last night, he was fighting at night and quickly made a lyrics.

After all, time is unforgivable. After losing the assistance of Yan Shifan and Li Ben, he was already in short supply.

"Master Yuanfu!" Guo Pu came in from outside and looked respectfully polite.

Yan Song is the most important thing to see whether the external investigation can be implemented smoothly. If this old chief adviser really strongly opposes, coupled with the strong counterattack of the Yan Party, the emperor may still compromise.

However, Yan Song is obviously better than Yan Shifan, and Yan Song is indeed loyal to the emperor. As long as Yan Song can help suppress the Yan Party members behind him, things will definitely go very smoothly.

At the reminder of his confidant, Yan Song raised his head and looked at the person coming in. His eyes seemed to be a little blurred. He reacted for a moment and said, "Mr. Husband, you are here, sit down!"

"Mr. Xie Yuanfu!" Guo Pu gave another salute, took out the list from his arms and said, "This is the list of Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, please check it out!"

The territory of the Ming Dynasty was vast, with more than 1,100 counties. Although they were at the county level, there were huge differences between counties, and even the taxes paid by a rich county were 500 times that of poor counties.

As the saying goes: I would rather be a magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River than a magistrate in the northwest.

When the Yan Party was in power, especially the several external inspections under the Yan Party, they had already taken these wealthy places into their own hands, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian was helping to control them firmly.

The same is true. Guo Pu wants to use these three provinces to attack the party. It is undoubtedly a bloody blow to the party. Since it is related to the most core interests of the party, he decided to take this trip himself. If anything happens, he can still get back.

room for .

Yan Song took the list and looked carefully, mainly to check the names of inferior officials. After reading it, he let out a long sigh and looked much older.

"Mr. Yuanfu, have you ever had any problems?" Guo Pu carefully tentatively.

Yan Song shook his head gently, and uttered two words dryly and said, "No!"

When Guo Pu heard this, the person hanging in the air finally fell completely. There was no resistance to this external investigation and would be implemented very smoothly. As for Yan Shifan, Guangdong had already given him anything, and I am afraid there would be nothing.

objection.

Yan Song gently put the list on the case, but suddenly pointed to a memorial listed on the case, looked up at Guo Pu who was excited and said, "Look! This is the memorial impeachment from Shuntian Prefecture Chief.

!”

That boy impeached me?

When Guo Pu heard this, he felt a little surprised, but his heart was full of disdain.

After all, he was in the position of Minister of Personnel and was in the external inspection period, so he naturally could not be slandered. However, this kid was really indifferent, and he could be said to have one move after another, but in fact he was no different from a jumping clown.

Yan Song looked at him not wanting to open it, so he persuaded seriously: "You'd better take a look!"

"Abide by the order!"

Although Guo Pu disagreed and did not think that Lin Xuran could cause any storm, he heard Yan Song say so and still turned the memorial open. But his eyes quickly glared and he fell into anger.
Chapter completed!
