"Mr. Ge, Shen Yuan is recruiting." Hu Jing, the newly appointed member of the Ministry of Works' Battalion and Maintenance Department, came excitedly to a wing of the back office of the Ministry of Works and reported to Chen Bangyan, a bachelor of Dongge University.
He was originally Chen Bangyan's old department in Mongolia. Scholar Chen worked in the Ministry of Works to eliminate corruption and isolated and examined a large number of officials, resulting in a serious shortage of staff in the Ministry of Works. Some old departments were transferred to fill the vacancies. Hu Jing was appointed as a member of the Camping and Maintenance Department of the Ministry of Works.
Mai Erxuan was awarded the title of Wailang, a member of the Department of Water Resources, and Ou Huaihao was awarded the title of Wailang, a member of the Farming Department.
It is said that it is difficult to transfer Beijing officials from foreign officials, but for the bachelors in the cabinet, it is just a trivial matter. Chen Bangyan works vigorously and resolutely, and is not afraid of others saying that he appoints people to his family. All three of them have military experience and have transferred from military service to civilian service.
After that, he still acted in a military style, bold and aggressive. He cooperated with Chen Bangyan to eliminate corruption, which made the entire Ministry of Works tremble.
Shen Yuan is the doctor of the Camping and Renovation Department and manages a large number of projects. In this corruption crackdown, the Camping and Renovation Department where he worked was the focus of Chen Bangyan's attack. From himself to two Yuanwailang and a large number of subordinate officials were arrested
All over.
Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with the intention of Pei Gong. Academician Chen wanted to investigate Shen Yuan, level by level, and finally found evidence of corruption when Guan Shouzhen, the first assistant, was in charge of the Ministry of Industry. This was not a personal conflict between him and Guan Shouzhen.
, but a life-and-death battle between the princelings and the princelings. The battle for the prince is so cruel! Either you die or I die!
Unlike the Beihai imperial examination fraud case that caused a stir, Chen Bangyan's anti-corruption campaign at the Ministry of Industry was carried out very covertly, and was carried out in the name of internal auditing. Because it is not a specialized judicial agency, it is only auditing in name, so it cannot
Those involved in the case were punished with severe punishments. Shen Yuan was very tough-talking. After more than two months of review, he couldn't find a single piece of useful information. I didn't expect that he would be recruited this time!
Chen Bangyan was overjoyed and asked: "How did you get him to confess?"
"My boss, I thought of a good idea. I sent people to take turns guarding him and not letting him sleep. After seven days of guarding, this guy finally couldn't stand it anymore. As long as he could sleep, he would say anything."
"You boy, you have done a great job this time! Deprivation of sleep is a good method. There are no scars on the body. Even if the censor impeaches us, we are not afraid. We should vigorously promote it!"
Chen Bangyan happily punched Hu Jing, "Tell me, what did Shen Yuan do?"
He is really happy. Since the anti-corruption campaign in the Ministry of Works, he has been under tremendous pressure. A group of officials related to the party have been impeaching him almost every day; Xiao Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Cheng, the left minister, have been building mausoleums from time to time.
, asking him to let him go in the name of lack of manpower; Guan Shouzhen's confidant, Li Guoxiang, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, even ignored the dignity of the court and came to him to make a fuss whenever he had time, demanding to let him go.
The more this happens, the more problems there are!
Chen Bangyan showed the same ferocity as when he was in the war, and sent his servants to control the back office of the Ministry of Industry. He even moved into the wing of the back office. He was afraid that someone would forcefully demand someone while he was away. In addition to going to the cabinet every day to answer questions, Chen Bangyan
, staying at the Ministry of Industry almost every day. God has paid off, and the fight against corruption has finally achieved initial results!
"Brother Ge, Shen Yuan confessed that he introduced Liu Xinxuan, a giant businessman from Sanyuan, to Zhang Cheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Li Guoxiang, the right minister, each gave him one hundred thousand taels. The former allowed him to privately mine iron ore in Anshan, and the latter asked him to provide a royal mausoleum.
He also introduced Gaoling giant businessman Liu Zhongmu to send 30,000 taels to Li Guoxiang and contracted the embankment of the Yan'an section of the Yellow River. Do you want to capture Zhang Cheng and Li Guoxiang?"
Chen Bangyan thought for a while and said: "That Zhang Cheng used to be the general manager of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace. The old man next to the Holy Master, don't investigate him. Just keep an eye on Li Guoxiang and investigate him fiercely."
"Yes, Mr. Ge".
The party is united and opposed, and Grand Scholar Chen's anti-corruption campaign is not to bring peace to the world, but to defeat Guan Shouzhen, the leader of the princeling party, and to support the king of Ji to ascend the throne. Zhang Cheng is not a princeling, but is also a confidant of the old emperor, so naturally he will not touch him; Li Guoxiang
He is Guan Shouzhen's right-hand man, so he is unlucky, so we should pay close attention to him.
There was significant progress in the case. Chen Bangyan was very excited and hurriedly sent someone secretly to report to the King of Hebei, Zhu Ruodeng.
It is a taboo for the vassal prince to interact closely with his cabinet ministers. Under normal circumstances, Zhu Ruodeng and Chen Bangyan would not meet directly to avoid being attacked by political opponents and forming a party. However, this matter is of great importance. If done well, the leader of the princeling party can be kept under surveillance in one fell swoop.
Take it down. Zhu Ruodeng couldn't sit still and secretly summoned Chen Bangyan, Lu Shiyi, Chen Shou, Yang Fuchen, Yang Wei, Sheng Jing, and Jiang Shishao to the palace to conspire.
Among these people, Lu Shiyi, Sheng Jing, and Jiang Shishao supported him because of the political ideal of world unity; Yang Fuchen, the Marquis of Xingye, was his cousin, and Chen Shou, a doctor in the Ministry of War Chariot and Cleaning Division, was his uncle and supported him because of blood; Dongge
Chen Bangyan, a bachelor, and Yang Wei, an associate bachelor of the Royal Army Academy, supported him for fame and fortune.
Because he has led troops for many years and has made outstanding military achievements, Zhu Ruodeng has great influence in the army, and many generals are willing to die for him. However, among the civil servants, there are not many who support him.
There are only a few intellectuals who can really give him advice. The tide is rising, and although his influence among civil servants is not yet great, it is on the rise. Chen Bangyan has entered the cabinet, and Sheng Jing has been promoted from an assistant to the eunuch of the Imperial Academy.
He became the Secretary of the Imperial College (equivalent to the Vice President), and Jiang Shishao was promoted from the Doctorate of the Imperial College to the Censor of Zhejiang Province.
"The Ministry of Industry has made a great breakthrough in its anti-corruption campaign. Let's all discuss how to proceed in the future?" Zhu Ruodeng stared at everyone with a bright look.
"Your Highness, I think we might as well let go of the corruption of other people in the Ministry of Industry and focus on targeting Guan Shouzhen's confidant Li Guoxiang," Chen Bangyan spoke first.
"Well, Chen Ge's old saying makes sense." Zhu Ruodeng nodded.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty may not take other corruption to heart. We should target Prime Minister Li's corruption in the construction of the imperial mausoleum," Chen Shou suggested.
Zhu Ruodeng's eyes brightened, and he nodded slowly. His father was already very old, and he was very concerned about his posthumous affairs. He sent the Ministry of Works and the inner court to jointly build his mausoleum. If he knew that someone was bold enough to embezzle the money used to build the mausoleum, he would definitely be in trouble.
The emperor was furious. When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses. When the time came, he would take down Li Guoxiang and even guard Zhen.
"We are willing to help Mr. Chen Ge impeach the traitor Li Guoxiang." Yang Fuchen, Yang Wei, Sheng Jing, and Jiang Shishao all expressed their stance with enthusiasm. This is to show their loyalty to Zhu Ruodeng and plan to launch a general attack on the princelings.
"Master Lu, why don't you speak?" Seeing that his think tank Lu Shiyi didn't speak, Zhu Ruodeng asked hurriedly.
"Your Highness, I believe that not only Li Guoxiang must be investigated, but Zhang Cheng and others must also be investigated. As long as I can grasp their handle, Zhang Cheng and others can be used by me. As for Li Guoxiang, it is a big cannonball for us, so we might as well pinch it
Hold it in your hand and wait until it explodes," Lu Shiyi said.
"Oh, sir, you think now is not the best time to impeach Prime Minister Li Guo? Then when should we do it?"
"I heard that the two cabinet ministers Guan and Sun are involved in the Beihai imperial examination fraud case, so we might as well wait and see what happens."
