When he said this, Mao Bijiang froze with his mouth open. To be honest, that boy Guan Qu was easy to talk to. He would not fail to come if he asked him to come. As for Guan Ying, he really had no confidence.
Get him over here.
Even if someone told him that someone was maliciously mocking him, he would probably remain unmoved. The appeal of these things to him was probably not as great as that of the prisoner who was about to be executed.
But if Guan Ying could be captured and had a fight with those people, it would probably be quite interesting. Ling Yiqu couldn't help but laugh when he thought about this scene.
"Then you said that if a face-to-face confrontation is of no use, what should we do?" Feng Ying couldn't help but ask.
"Even if a face-to-face confrontation can silence this low-level official, it will not dispel the concerns of others. Since they want to investigate, let them continue the investigation. Not only must we investigate, we must also investigate carefully.
Check." Lin Chong said firmly.
"What do you mean?" Jonathan tilted his head with a thoughtful expression on his face.
"How can an official of this level have the guts to impeach a boss who is so much higher than him? I just don't know why he would do it." Lin Chong said slowly, his eyes slowly scanning among the people.
"So you want to take this opportunity to let him investigate? But what if..." Feng Ying was worried.
Lin Chong patted Ling Yiqu: "Even if you don't have confidence in others, don't you have confidence in him? The child he brought out is fine and will definitely withstand the inspection. Don't worry. Besides, even if something happens, this
Isn’t it Ling Yiqu who’s still supporting me? What are you worried about?”
Jonathan also came over and took a look at the recent memorials that said that the court was going to be cleaned up. He couldn't help but laugh: "They are really from poor families, and you can see that most of these are written by newcomers. Even if they are not
The newcomers are just petty officials with relatively low positions."
Lin Chong nodded: "This is the situation, so I feel strange. Such people should be the most honest and responsible people. Why are they so active?"
Mao Bijiang actually supports this kind of activity. He has always felt that the atmosphere in the imperial court is not good, and he should find an opportunity to clean it up. If he can take advantage of this time to catch all the worms in the country, it will not be a bad thing.
Good thing.
Feng Ying smiled and shook his head. This Mao Bijiang was indeed talented, but after all, he was still too young and his time as an official was too short. It was difficult to fully understand the pros and cons of it all at once.
He wanted to improve the atmosphere in the court, which was a good thing, but his mistake was that he chose the wrong time and method.
This time can indeed be said to be an opportunity. If we really take this opportunity to conduct a thorough investigation, regardless of the benefits we can get, the most direct impact will be that the people of the imperial court will be panicked.
After all, Lin Chong was still a newcomer to Nanjing, and Nanjing was still a strange place for him. Qianglong still had to give in to the local snakes, not to mention that Mao Bijiang had already offended many local businessmen, which would be very difficult for Lin Chong in his future work.
But it's extremely disadvantageous.
Mao Bijiang hadn't thought of such a far-reaching problem, but when he saw Feng Ying shaking his head, he also guessed that maybe his self-discipline was not perfect, so he couldn't help but ask: "Feng Shangshu, what about the officials?"
Are you dissatisfied with the idea?"
His tone can be called respectful. Feng Ying is a veteran minister, and he is recognized as an extremely impartial and impartial minister of the Ministry of Justice. He can be said to be a very prestigious minister. I am still very interested in hearing his opinions.
of.
"I can't say that I'm dissatisfied with anything, but I just want to remind Mao Yushi that everything must be done in a measured way, and remember that going too far is still not enough."
Mao Bijiang was stunned for a while: "Is it too bad to go too far? Could it be that what I did before was too aggressive?" He only thought that killing Chao Gang would be a good thing, but he did not consider that this matter was absolutely urgent.
"It's not a rash move, but this time it can be regarded as a shock. It can also serve as a warning to those with ulterior motives." Feng Ying stroked his beard.
"But..." Mao Bijiang was a little confused. Didn't His Majesty want to investigate this matter thoroughly just now? Wasn't it to pull out those bad guys?
Wanting to arrest a few people is of course one of Lin Chong's goals, but it is definitely not his main goal. This time he can catch corrupt officials, but he can only catch a few small ones and punish them with big warnings, and he must not cause a big stir.
of storms.
"This time, I will let you participate in this matter, but you must remember to use your discretion and not offend too many people." Lin Chong warned Mao Bijiang, he did not want to lose a big deal for a small amount.
"You have to control yourself, right? I understand, I wonder if your Majesty has any other instructions this time?" Mao Bijiang wanted to hear Lin Chong's true intention.
Lin Chong blinked: "Of course there is a real purpose. It's true that you check their corruption and find out who wants to take this opportunity to win over them."
When he said this, Mao Bijiang immediately understood. Someone wanted to use this opportunity to shake Lin Chong's position in the hearts of the ministers, and at the same time find ways to build more party members for himself.
Seeing that he had understood what he meant, Lin Chong nodded with satisfaction: "Just go ahead and check it out, but it would be best to find out their details. We can find out as much as we can, and we can keep it in our own hands.
It’s better than having it in someone else’s hands.”
Mao Bijiang nodded: "Don't worry, Wei Chen already knows what to do, and I will definitely guarantee that we will fulfill our mission this time."
Lin Chong said yes and asked him to go down and get ready. After Mao Bijiang left, the matter was basically settled. After Ling Yiqu and Feng Ying put forward some suggestions of their own, they each went back to their respective houses to do their own things.
.
Only Jonathan was left standing next to him with his arms folded. Lin Chong rubbed his temples without raising his head: "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting for me to treat you to lunch?"
"Actually, you already know who it is, right?" Although it was a question, Jonathan's tone was very certain. Not only Lin Chong knew, but he could also guess who wanted to be at this moment.
Forming parties for personal gain.
Lin Chong sighed: "I know, I know, but what can I do? You can't really catch him and behead him, can you? Even if you agree, the people outside will not agree, and there are still people under his command.
When those people cause trouble, it will be even harder to control them."
Jonathan was silent for a while before asking sadly: "What's the point of fighting like this? Doesn't he know how important this is?"
