Chapter 367: Young grass is afraid of frost and sun, but evil people still need to be polished by evil people.
Hu Weiyong was not a corrupt official, but he was a real villain. Zhu Biao just criticized the courtiers' slack performance in the court, and asked the ministers in the cabinet to urge the courtiers to work hard, and received Zhu Biao's hint.
Hu Weiyong immediately began to show his fangs.
Who in the court doesn't know what Hu Weiyong is like as a "real villain"?
Being targeted by him will do no good at all.
The Ministry of Revenue is the department that has been most severely tortured by empty seals and grain taxation. Moreover, because of its excessive power, it has been split up. From the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue to the small officials who settle accounts below, basically all have been investigated.
, even now that the storm has passed, many people are still frightened and terrified by it.
In this environment, the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs will not take responsibility if they can, and they will ask their superiors for instructions even on trivial matters to show that they have a clear mind.
But what is the meaning of this expression?
Apart from increasing the workload of the superior officials, they have no other benefits.
Hu Weiyong just kept an eye on the Ministry of Revenue. As long as the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue were handled well, the situation of neglect in other ministries would be much better, and Hu Weiyong was not impatient.
The household department was split into three departments: money, grain, and household registration. Because of the importance of their departments, these three departments are basically under the jurisdiction of Li Shanchang. Li Shanchang is not a workaholic, but he can handle things in an orderly manner. Nowadays, money
He knew the situation of the three departments of food, household registration, etc., but he didn't take it to heart. He dealt with what should be dealt with, and returned the memorial if he couldn't deal with it.
As long as Zhu Biao did not see the memorial, the content proposed in the memorial would be invalid.
But Zhu Biao's sudden outburst in the court made Li Shanchang realize that Zhu Biao was dissatisfied with the way he had handled government affairs before. What he needed was ministers who were responsible, not ministers who had to deal with everything themselves.
How to deal with it?
Li Shanchang was a little surprised, but Hu Weiyong took the initiative to come to him, which also made Li Shanchang's eyes light up.
Hu Weiyong brought Li Shanchang a cup of tea, and then praised Li Shanchang through the memorial: "Sir, there are more and more memorials in front of you these days. You have worked hard day and night... You have really worked hard for the Ming Dynasty and you are loyal."
Li Shanchang saw Hu Weiyong coming over and understood why he was looking for him, but he still pretended to be ignorant: "Weiyong, aren't you busy today? Why do you have time to chat with me?"
After saying that, Li Shanchang picked up the tea bowl, took a sip and then said: "Working for the Ming Dynasty, how can it be said that it is hard work? It is just a matter of duty. I am in charge of my job. I stayed in the cabinet for one day, and it was just a matter of hard work."
It’s a day’s work, isn’t it?”
This was a deliberate attempt to divert the topic to Zhu Biao's "negligence". It was obviously a hot potato thrown to Hu Weiyong, and Hu Weiyong was happy with it. Isn't this why he came to Li Shanchang?
】
"Sir, what you are saying is that if all the officials in the Ming Dynasty had your awareness, His Highness the Crown Prince would not angrily accuse the court officials of neglecting government affairs in the court."
When Hu Weiyong said this, he paused and said: "Mr. Li has a lot of things to do every day. Can you leave these small things to me? If I can urge the courtiers, your job will be much easier, Mr. Li. If I don't do it well, you
You can rebuke me, and then achieve the goal of knocking down the mountain and shaking the tiger."
"Weiyong, what are you talking about? How can I be afraid of trouble?"
"No, no, I just want to share Mr. Li's worries."
After Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong argued with each other for a certain period of time, they naturally pushed the matter into the hands of Hu Weiyong.
After Hu Weiyong took over the task, he quickly took the memorials from the three departments of money, grain, and household registration. After reading the memorials, Hu Weiyong handed the memorials about personnel appointments back to Li Shanchang, and took some memorials recording trivial matters in his hands.
, directly summoned the ministers from the three departments of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Food, and Ministry of Registration to the cabinet, and threw all the memorials on their heads.
"What are you going to do? What are you going to do?"
Hu Weiyong was like an angry lion, "Why, if one of your colleagues is investigated or arrested, you won't dare to do things, right? If you don't dare to do things, just get out! I, the Ming Dynasty, do not support idlers!"
"..."
The three ministers of money, grain, and household registration stood there, motionless.
You can scold me as much as you like, it has nothing to do with me, I'm not the one giving the memorial anyway.
"If you don't say anything, do you just pretend that nothing happened?"
Hu Weiyong snorted coldly, spread his hands and negotiated directly: "Liu Tong, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Food and have been in charge of the Ministry of Food for many years. I remember that after you entered the Ministry of Household Affairs, your mother-in-law's family started doing food-related business, right?"
Liu Tong, who was directly named by Hu Weiyong, was shocked when he heard Hu Weiyong's words, and quickly explained: "Mr. Hu, all the business I do is in compliance with the laws and regulations, and there is no arrogance in the slightest. I also pay every penny in taxes."
, if Hu Xian doesn’t believe it, we can investigate it strictly.”
"Really? Then I have to check it out." Hu Weiyong looked at Liu Tong and continued: "I don't believe there are such perfect people in the world. The business done by my relatives is linked to the power in your hands, and it can be so innocent.
, if no problem can be found, I, Hu Weiyong, will be willing to give up my position in the cabinet and let you in."
Liu Tong was not involved in empty seals and grain taxes, which shows that this person is very careful in his official career. He has not been darkened by interests and has controlled his greed. This shows that this person does not value money that much, but he cannot
He said he didn't value it at all, otherwise he wouldn't allow his wife's relatives to do business.
There was already a threat hidden in Hu Weiyong's words.
He wants to compete with Liu Tong for a cabinet position. Can Liu Tong survive?
Even if he can fight, he will be targeted everywhere in the cabinet... and his wife and family have done so much business, it is unrealistic to say that there is no trace of gray at all.
This is what Zhu Han and Zhu Biao said. Everyone cannot avoid the worldly world, and Zhu Yuanzhang is no exception, not to mention the ministers below.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Liu Tong received the threat from Hu Weiyong, and immediately became righteous: "Hu Xiang is right, some officials do not seek to achieve their goals in their positions.
, This kind of people are what I despise the most. They are no different from the officials who were arrested. They should indeed be taught a lesson!"
"Yes, Not Bad."
Hu Weiyong nodded with satisfaction and praised Liu Tong: "It can be seen that Liu Shangshu is also aware. If there are officials in the Ministry of Food in the future who use trivial matters to make His Royal Highness unhappy, I will only ask you.
"
"Please rest assured, Mr. Hu."
Liu Tong quickly wiped away his cold sweat. If Hu Weiyong still pestered him, he would probably have to kneel down and apologize to Hu Weiyong.
Next to the household registration, when the officials of the Ministry of Finance heard Hu Weiyong's words, how could they not understand what Hu Weiyong meant?
This was used as a gun for Zhu Biao.
Hu Weiyong has already taught Liu Tong a lesson. If the two of them still don't know the rules, they will go against Hu Weiyong. Hu Weiyong is a real villain. When he takes revenge on others, he will work from morning to night.
Therefore, when Hu Weiyong turned his attention to Zhang Qingzhi, the Minister of Finance, he immediately said righteously: "Please rest assured, Mr. Hu, after I return, I will strictly manage and implement responsibilities on everyone, and I will never trouble the prince."
His Highness and Prime Minister Hu."
Hu Weiyong said: "It doesn't matter if I am tired. His Royal Highness the Prince and Mr. Li have many things to do, and they are busy with big things every day. Why should we disturb them with these trivial matters? In order to pursue their own affairs, since we have entered the court, we cannot waste it.
We all have to bear the risks we should bear when receiving a salary. This is a responsibility, and I, Hu Weiyong, never evade responsibility."
By the way, they praised themselves, causing Liu Tong and Zhang Qingzhi to flatter Hu Weiyong, while Jiao Guangzhi, the household registration secretary next to them, sneered.
What a bunch of little people!
He is not afraid of being targeted, especially not Hu Weiyong.
"Hu Xiangzhong is patriotic. When Your Majesty comes back, I will give you a memorial and praise you."
Jiao Guangzhi did not accept Hu Weiyong's threats and said to Hu Weiyong:
"I, Jiao, am an official. I am open-minded and have a breeze on my sleeves. I will never shirk away from some responsibilities that I should shoulder!"
He said it as if he was very upright. Liu Tong and Zhang Qingzhi next to him pretended not to hear. Hu Weiyong didn't say anything, but looked at Jiao Guangzhi and motioned for him to continue.
"As for what Mr. Hu said, the prince and Li Ge take care of everything, but Mr. Jiao doesn't agree very much."
Jiao Guangzhi is not afraid of investigation, and he also seems to have a clear conscience when confronting Hu Weiyong: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spends two hours in the school every day, which is enough time for him to solve some trivial matters. Now that His Royal Highness is the Crown Prince, the Ming Dynasty has a clear sea, and His Royal Highness is so obsessed with war.
, is definitely not a good thing for the future development of Ming Dynasty."
Before the Ministry of Household Affairs was split, Jiao Guangzhi was already the second prime minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. With his seniority and ability, he was the perfect candidate to take over as Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in the future. But after the Ministry of Household Affairs was split, why did he only
Can you become the minister with the least power?
The reason is simple: Jiao Guangzhi was against the war.
He was a very traditional founding official. He believed that he could conquer the world immediately, but after unification, swords should be stored in the treasury, horses released to the south, and generals should retreat bravely. External expansion was an unjust act.
Zhu Han, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were very opposed to his argument.
How can foreign investments make money without fighting foreign wars?
How to get meritorious service without fighting externally?
Therefore, Jiao Guangzhi was exiled to the Ministry of Home Affairs. Jiao Guangzhi was very resentful about this. He even wrote to Zhu Yuanzhang more than once asking him not to fight with foreign countries, but no one listened to him. If Jiao Guangzhi hadn't been an official and a good person, Zhu Yuanzhang would have done it long ago.
He withdrew.
"You old dog, what are you talking about?"
Hu Weiyong jumped up and scolded Jiao Guangzhi directly, pointing at Jiao Guangzhi's nose and scolding: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince and is now fifteen years old. What's wrong with him exercising more? His Royal Highness also said that the body is the capital of work. No one
With good health, how can we lead Ming Dynasty to continue to develop? Old dog, are you cursing the prince?"
"..."
Jiao Guangzhi was speechless.
You exercise one mouthful at a time. Aren't you cursing Zhu Biao?
However, Hu Weiyong's reaction was quite intense, and Jiao Guangzhi was not Hu Weiyong's opponent in terms of skill. He was so angry at Hu Weiyong that he couldn't say anything.
Liu Tong, Zhang Qingzhi: Who am I? Where am I? I didn't see anything.
He grabbed Jiao Guangzhi's neck, then stepped forward to block Jiao Guangzhi's ankles, pushed back hard, and pushed Jiao Guangzhi to the ground. Then he started to explode while riding on Jiao Guangzhi's body.
Poor Jiao Guangzhi, how could he be Hu Weiyong's opponent at his age?
He was pushed to the ground and beaten violently without even a chance to resist!
"Hu Weiyong, how dare you insult me!"
Jiao Guang was so angry that he almost fainted, but Hu Weiyong's next words stopped him from fainting.
"Check! Check it for me! I don't believe that Jiao Guangzhi doesn't care about anything!"
Having beaten Jiao Guangzhi, Hu Weiyong still didn't want to let him go. He directly said to Liu Tong and Zhang Qingzhi: "Check, check for me, check all the eighteen generations of his ancestors. Isn't his son taking the imperial examination? I heard that it is the county
Top of the list, right? Check! I want to see if Jiao Guangzhi is perfect!"
"Jiao Guangzhi, you think you are perfect, don't you? I don't believe that the people around you are as perfect as you! As long as I find a flaw in them, I can make them live the rest of their lives intact, and I will bear your surname!"
Have you seen how the villain solved the problem?
That's the way.
I just want to trouble you without any cover-up. If I catch you, my life will definitely be worse than death.
Can Jiao Guangzhi bear this?
Hearing Hu Weiyong's murderous words, Jiao Guangzhi was instantly frightened. He was really scared... Just as Hu Weiyong said, he could guarantee that he would have peace of mind, but what about his family? What about his wife's family?
Can these people stand up to scrutiny?
If the family members knew that the reason why they were worse off than dead was because they were against Hu Weiyong, wouldn't they be allowed to expel themselves from the family?
I was beaten. If I let my family suffer again, then the loss on this business would be too great.
"Hu Xiang!"
Jiao Guangzhi lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Hu Weiyong: "Prime Minister Hu, I was wrong. Please forgive me, Prime Minister Hu."
"Haihan? It's too late!"
Hu Weiyong flicked his sleeves and turned to leave: "I'm going home to rest. I'll be with you ignorant people all day long. If I don't take a good rest, I will die suddenly!"
"Hu Xiang, don't..."
Jiao Guangzhi wanted to stop Hu Weiyong, but how could he stop Hu Weiyong? When he didn't know what to do, he heard Hu Weiyong continue: "Liu Tong, Zhang Qingzhi, the matter entrusted to you two will never be handled well."
Be gentle!"
"..."
Is this really not letting Jiao Guangzhi go?
Looking at Jiao Guangzhi next to them, Liu Tong and Zhang Qingzhi instantly felt a sense of sadness that the rabbit had died and the fox had died. What should they do if Jiao Guangzhi looked like this?
Now Liu Tong and Zhang Qingzhi are under the control of Hu Weiyong. No matter how miserable they are, they will not dare to disobey Hu Weiyong's orders.
So... Jiao Guangzhi, if anything happens to your nine clans, you just wait to be sprayed to death by your own relatives.
Thinking of the problems Jiao Guangzhi would face in the future, Liu Tong and Zhang Qingzhi couldn't help but shudder. Hu Weiyong, a villain, had too vicious methods, and they secretly said in their hearts: "Never become Hu Weiyong's enemy in the future."
As the saying goes: Young grass is afraid of frost and sun, and evil people need to be polished by evil people.
Officials like this who do not seek to achieve their goals in their positions have to use methods that are even worse than them!
