Chapter 107 New Mission
Zhao Xing had already figured out the thoughts of his boss Luo Yangxing. Faced with the help of rewarding his house, Zhao Xing quickly thanked him and explained carefully: "I have been a thousand households for so long. Of course, I can't escape the eyes of adults when I do anything. I have also made a lot of money. It should be no problem to change to a house."
Luo Yangling was very satisfied with Zhao Xing's frankness, which shows that he still did not hide his private corruption from himself. It's very good. As a nominal boss, he likes this kind of person the most.
Zhao Xing saw the gentle expression in his eyes flashing, and Zhao Xing was proud: "The posthumous and dark psychology of the officialdom in later generations was not in vain." Then he continued to talk about his reasons: "I also mentioned buying a new house, but this house is an old house. My mother is used to living in it and is unwilling to move out. So I can only buy the three or four houses around at a price three times higher than the market, so that my mother can live more comfortably." Then he pointed to the clumsy maids and servants: "I can't bear to leave these neighbors and sisters, so I hired them again. Rather than hiring them to do things, it's better to accompany my mother as a companion." Then he smiled bitterly, "So, you look at this now. Although there is a gift from the elders and dare not refuse, my subordinates dare not disobey my mother. Therefore, please take back my life for the sake of my subordinates' filial piety."
Such a high-ranking excuse for refusal, especially the saying that the elder dared not say anything, even Luo Yangxing was not angry because Zhao Xing refused to buy him. Instead, he had to sigh: "It's really enviable to have a filial son in the family like you. Especially when you let me see that you are a nostalgic person, okay, very good. Okay, then I, the elder, will take it back."
Zhao Xing hurriedly thanked Luo Yangxing for fulfilling his filial piety.
Sitting in the simple hall, Luo Yangxing crossed his legs and said to Zhao Xing with a smile: "Your filial piety really touched me. Although I also know that my parents are not traveling far away, there is something you need to go there in person."
Because of Zhao Xing and his elder name, Luo Yangxing no longer acts as an official, but my claim. This makes people seem to be back to the relationship between the two of them again, which brings the relationship between the two closer together.
Zhao Xing quickly said, "My lord's order must be a business. As the saying goes, whoever eats to do what he wants to do, it is my duty to share his worries and errands. How dare you depose the public for personal gain? If there is any matter, as long as the adult's orders, even if it is a sea of swords and fire, my subordinates will not refuse."
Luo Yangxing felt very satisfied with Zhao Xing's confession, especially under the prelude to his filial piety and nostalgia, which made him more loyal.
"What is it said in the water and fire, I said it, I said it." Luo Yangxing smiled and shook his hand, but turned to Zhao Xing seriously and said, "The task I assigned you is also what the current emperor wants."
Zhao Xing immediately listened with a stern look.
"Last time, Guo Guangsheng revealed that the governor of Shaanxi was bullying his superiors and concealing his subordinates, and the emperor was always worried. Later, you said that there were already refugees in Shaanxi who had gathered to rebel. However, the emperor quietly checked all the memorials sent by the Ministry of War and the cabinet, but there was no news. Although what you said might be the facts, what the ministers said might be the facts. Who was right? The emperor wanted to get the truth. So he gave this matter to our Jinyiwei. I plan to let your Beizhen Fushi Office handle it. Ten thousand is the Qin case, it is the responsibility of the Beizhen Fushi Office and the emperor's trust in us."
Zhao Xing understood the contradiction in Emperor Chongzhen's heart now. When Wei Zhongxian abducted power, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were arrogant to the peak and were disgusted by the simple justice of civil and military officials, including Chongzhen, who was the King of Trustees at that time.
This was how the eunuch party was later defeated. After Donglin took office, Emperor Chongzhen was able to accept the strong demands of the Donglin party members and abolish the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang.
However, after such a period of change, facts are better than words, and Emperor Chongzhen felt that he was slowly being undermined by the Donglin Party members. The matter between Zhao Xing and Guo Guangsheng made him feel that he was indeed blinded by the Donglin Party members. This also happened. His mentality of not trusting anyone. Fortunately, after so many things, Chongzhen finally understood that what he trusted the most was his own personal slave. This is a kind of progress.
In fact, it is not that the official group is untrustworthy, but because once the official group falls into party disputes, they lose themselves and everything takes the interests of the party as the highest interest, and the parties, in turn, can maximize their interests.
Parties can unite more people to work for one goal, but the parties will harm the interests of the most people for the benefit of party members. This is the pros and cons of the party.
That's why he appeared. He was going to send the Jinyiwei to the northwest to check what happened in the northwest.
However, the emperor sent the Jinyiwei to investigate the matter quietly in the northwest. Do we have to take the tutor of the Beizhenfu Department? There is also a Jinyiwei's thousand households in Shanxi and Shaanxi, which is completely competent. Why did Luo Yangxing assign Zhao Xing this time, and he was not accompanied by private goods?
Zhao Xing rose too fast, so fast that he had already threatened his position as Luo Yangxing, but he had no choice because Zhao Xing's backstage was too hard, so hard that he really wanted to suppress Zhao Xing blatantly, and he might be kicked away by the emperor in the end.
It is necessary to win over, but it would be better if Zhao Xing could be marginalized. The most important thing is to drive him out of Beijing and still control the Beizhenfu Office, the most important authority of the Jinyiwei, in his own hands.
As for what kind of ending Zhao Xing would have when he went to the northwest, Luo Yangxing knew it very well.
Others don’t know about the rebellion in the northwest, but how could Luo Yangxing not know about the world’s will? He wished that Zhao Xing would never return this time and would die outside.
Zhao Xing had already understood the connection between his thoughts and thoughts, but he agreed without hesitation: "The emperor's orders, the trust of the lord, my subordinates dare not be fooled."
Luo Yangxing expressed his satisfaction with Zhao Xing's acceptance of the task without hesitation: "Seeing the wise, it is indeed my loyal subordinate. If you do it well, your future will be limitless."
Faced with this promise that was equivalent to saying or not saying it, Zhao Xing made a small request after being grateful, "In order to connect our foreign aid, my subordinates left this 100,000 yuan to Mao Shuai in Dongjiang Town. The amount of money was more or less, but if it was deducted by officials at all levels, it would be a drop in the hands of Mao Shuai, and we lost our purpose. So I have a heartless request. Can I let me handle this matter directly? I also ask the ruling."
The civil servant group of the Ming Dynasty, corruption can be regarded as the highest bureaucratic group in all dynasties in China. Even those officials in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, if compared with the corruption of the Ming Dynasty officials, they could only be ashamed to be at a disadvantage.
Don’t talk about the low salary of the Ming Dynasty officials. This is just one of them. The corruption of officials from other dynasties is just to maintain their efforts for their own lives. However, the officials of the Ming Dynasty not only corrupted their own decay, corruption, but most importantly, they have become spokespersons of a class. For the interests of the class they endorsed, they will not hesitate to damage the interests of more classes, and eventually collapsed this famous name. From this point of view, the Donglin Party is extremely close to the party nature of later generations.
