Chapter 639
Zhang Hao was lying there and didn't want to get up. Xu Shiyun had no choice but to deal with Zhang Hao, just worried that this would cause dissatisfaction among the officials. After all, those people are also officials now. Although they may not be able to help Zhang Hao in the future, if they are determined to frame Zhang Hao, there is still a way.
"I'm not afraid of them, I'll continue to sleep. Tell them not to disturb me!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.
"Okay, Master, please rest!" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and said, knowing that he was very busy during this period. He has been busy since the Chinese New Year to now. He probably will be busy again in a few days.
It was almost noon when Zhang Hao got up and sat in the living room to drink porridge.
"The people outside are still there. Today, it's not good to cool people like this!" Xu Shiyun stood there and said.
"Didn't you send someone to tell them? I don't see anyone today?" Zhang Hao asked at Xu Shiyun.
"I said that they can leave easily. I guess they have something to do with you!" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao helplessly and said.
"Okay, I'll go after I finish drinking!" Zhang Hao nodded, knowing that those people were worried now, and that the evidence from King Lu was coming, which would be detrimental to them. Not to mention those ministers, even those cabinet ministers would be troublesome.
In the palace, King Yu had finished reporting, but King Yu dared to say anything. For the cabinet, someone from the six ministries collected money from King Lu, he also pointed out directly, hoping that the cabinet ministers needed to find out clearly. Those vassal kings were in chaos, and the cabinet and the ministers among the six ministries helped them. King Yu could not tolerate such a thing.
"Okay, Prince Yu, sit down and say, don't be so excited!" Jiajing was a little excited when he saw Prince Yu, and immediately persuaded Prince Yu and said, Jiajing could understand that Prince Yu was so excited.
After all, it was the first time to do it. And this time Zhang Hao gave King Yu a lot of power. He always took King Yu with him in everything he did, just hope that King Yu could grow up quickly. Now King Yu is already a bit majestic as a superior, but it is not enough. He still needs cultivation and restraint. But this takes time. After all, who is not frivolous at the young?
"Yes, my father, my son has just become reckless, but I just thought about the poverty of the people of Shandong, and felt uncomfortable!" King Yu stood there and bowed to Jiajing.
"Sit down and say!" Jiajing nodded and said to King Yu, then looked at the cabinet ministers and officials above the six ministries.
"I heard it all. I guess even if King Yu didn't come back to do this report, you have learned a lot of news, right?
Let me tell you, how should the court prevent such a thing from happening? From King Jin to King Qin, and then to King Lu, one is more serious than the other. If they do evil and do not have the assistance of officials, I would not believe it. When King Jin and King Qin were investigated, a large number of officials were arrested. Now King Chalu probably is the same. Next time, I will investigate other vassal kings. Is it the same? Are my officials of the Ming Dynasty my officials or those vassal kings?
Ah, and, the problems of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate, you need to reflect on why this happens?” Jiajing sat there and said sternly to them. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate immediately stood up and wanted to kneel down.
"Forget it, I don't look at your tricks. I want to see if you are more capable and prevent such things from happening. Look, there are not enough officials in the court now!" Jiajing immediately looked at them with dissatisfaction and said.
"Yes, I know the crime!" Xu Jie and the others all stood up and said.
"What should I do? Come here for a memorial. I want to read it. Next court meeting, I will read it. I don't believe it. When will I become a minister of the vassal king?" Jiajing sat there, staring at the ministers in the cabinet and said.
"Yes!" Xu Jie and the others bowed their hands again.
"Well, after going back, the six ministries will conduct self-inspection. The Ministry of Personnel will not only conduct self-inspection, but also conduct self-inspection across the country to ensure that no officials are corruption and promoted. There is also the Censorate. Where have your supervision responsibilities gone? What have those Censors and Censors done?" Jiajing continued to say to them.
"Yes!" the officials bowed again.
"Well, I heard that many officials are now pleading with the barbarians' house, hoping that Zhang Hao can open the door to them. Humph, what's the use of going to his house? I don't know who the barbarians are. Just them. When they want to open the door, the barbarians didn't kill them on the spot, and they have already discouraged them!" Jiajing sat there and continued to say to the officials. When the officials heard it, they bowed their heads and said nothing.
"Okay, go out!" Jiajing waved his hand to them and said,
Now they are just letting them know about the matter on King Lu, and the next step is to start checking.
On Zhang Hao's side, Zhang Hao had just finished breakfast and left the gate of the mansion. When he saw that there were almost 100 officials standing outside. When they saw Zhang Hao coming, they bowed to Zhang Hao one after another.
"What are you doing? Ah! I have nothing to do, why do you want to see me? I don't know anything about the capital, and it's useless to find me about the things in Shandong. King Yu has already reported from the palace. What should I do? If I continue to come to my mansion, I will ask the Jinyiwei to arrest you directly. Whether you are clean or not, you will know whether it is clean or not!" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at the officials with a blank expression and said.
"Mr. Marquis, please help!" One of the officials cried in anxiety and knelt down at Zhang Hao. When the other officials saw it, they immediately knelt down and shouted for help.
"Get out, help, do you think I don't know about your affairs. I know all the nonsense about you, and I still shout help. Just you, Zhang Yunrui, as the head of the Ministry of Personnel, you said how much corrupt you have been, how much money did you have taken away from Qin and Lu? Do you think I don't know, you have received at least 50,000 taels of silver from them, and you dare to come here to shout help. Now you drag it out to kill your family, there is no grievance. Get out, get out!" Zhang Hao stood there and shouted to the officials.
When the officials heard this, they were also scared. They did not expect that Zhang Hao knew so clearly. The reason why they did not arrest them now was that there were not enough officials in the court.
In the past two years, Zhang Hao and Jiajing have been cleaning up together, and there are almost 500 officials, all of them are big and small. Officials are those officials who have been cleaning up, and there is no one to replace them. It is impossible to say that you should continue to promote those corrupt officials. So Jiajing is also worried now. It is really difficult to find some good officials. Soon, the officials left, and Zhang Hao returned to the study, lay down, and didn't want to move.
"Master, aren't you going to the palace today?" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
"Go in the afternoon, but I won't go now. King Yu went to report in the morning!" Zhang Hao sat there and waved his hand and said.
"Why is it King Yu reporting? Aren't you reporting?" Xu Shiyun heard it and looked at Zhang Hao and asked in confusion.
"Let King Yu report better!" Zhang Hao smiled and said. Now King Yu needs to show off, and also needs prestige and people's expectations. So it is best to let King Yu come out at this time, which is also the meaning of Jiajing. Zhang Hao doesn't care anyway, and he is not without credit.
"By the way, I almost forgot to tell you that the dividends from those workshops were sent by Your Majesty, which was 1.1 million taels! There was also a note signed by Your Majesty on it!" Xu Shiyun thought of this and said to Xu Shiyun.
"Well, just keep it!" Zhang Hao nodded and said. Jiajing told him about this. The main reason is that it is not good to leave too much money on the workshop, so it is better to part.
"Well. Master, the family has so much money, so you have to do something, right?" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
"Just buy a store. After buying the ones in Beijing, you can buy other places. Anyway, you can't buy land, and your family doesn't lack land, just buy a store!" Zhang Hao looked at Xu Shiyun and said.
"Yes, lord, but a few days ago, a few businessmen in Shanxi asked someone to come to find us, saying that they wanted to get the ticket number with us, but I didn't agree and didn't see them!" Xu Shiyun looked at Zhang Hao and said.
"Pie No.!" Zhang Hao heard this and sat up. Pie No. was an ancient bank, but those Pie No. were controlled by private hands, not by the court.
"Well. Master is interested in this?" Xu Shiyun saw Zhang Hao doing it and immediately asked.
"Well, let's talk about it, you are not allowed to do it. Master, I have an idea, but I can't say it now!" Zhang Hao thought about it for a while and said to remind Xu Shiyun.
"I know, Master, I don't know, nodded. I don't dare to do such a big thing!" Xu Shiyun nodded and said. Zhang Hao said so, he definitely didn't dare.
"Okay, master, please rest. I'll go see those children!" Xu Shiyun said to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao nodded and lay down.
Zhang Hao has been waiting for the people from the Jinyiwei to come to report, but there has not been any more. Logically speaking, Liu Yunhai is going to report to him today, but Liu Yunhai has not come, which makes Zhang Hao a little dissatisfied. At this moment, Liu Yunhai is also entertaining the officials at home. This time, many officials asked him to come to him, hoping that the Jinyiwei would not arrest them this time.
"I said, Lord Sun, it's useless to say it. What's the use of asking me? You know, if you don't arrest anyone or not, I have the final say. It's our Marquis who have the final say. I'm in a dilemma for you to come to me like this!" Liu Yunhai held the teacup and looked at the minister in front of him reluctantly and said.
