The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1569

[1569.Chapter 1490 Catch them all in one fell swoop]

Chen Tianjin was invited to sit down, but Chen Tianjin seemed absent-minded.

Fang Jifan greeted people with a smile: “I have heard a little bit about your memorial.”

When he mentioned this, Chen Tianjin suddenly felt like he was about to explode, and his reaction became extremely intense: “Huh, why, as a life officer, can’t I Has it been reported? This is my duty, Duke of Qi. I know that your holy family is prosperous and you are still in a high position, but… I am not afraid of you. I act upright and sit upright. Come on, you bombed my house… …”

Fang Jifan was speechless.

Talk to him properly. Why does this guy react so strongly? He has a worse temper than Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan showed great patience today and smiled again: “Oh, Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen… don’t be like this. If you have something to say, please speak up. I don’t mean to criticize Mr. Chen, I just say… Mr. Chen asked His Majesty If the supervisory power falls into my hands, it will inevitably cause the problem of excessive power in Xishan. Is this what Mr. Chen said?”

“Yes,” Chen Tianjin continued with a cold face: “It has always been a matter of cleverness. Jingcha sounds good, but talking about the past and the present is nothing more than a tool to eliminate dissidents. Why, you can’t talk about it anymore? “

Look at his temper.

Fang Jifan continued to be patient and said with a smile: “That’s why I invited you here.”

Chen Tianjin glared at Fang Jifan. Seeing that Fang Jifan was smiling all the time, he always felt that this guy had some bad intentions, so he sneered: “Don’t think that You can threaten me, but at worst, everything will be broken.”

Fang Jifan coughed: “Why does Mr. Chen think of me so much? I mean, I hope to use Mr. Chen for this Beijing inspection and the revision of the Beijing inspection regulations. Mr. Chen is an upright person. Everyone knows that he has both political integrity and talent, so I hope Mr. Chen will come to help revise the regulations of the Jingcha and lead the Jingcha. You see, isn’t Mr. Chen worried about excluding dissidents? Now, there is Chen. With such an upright person like me, why do you still worry about excluding dissidents?”

Chen Tianjin was stunned, with surprise flashing in his eyes.

He went to the meeting alone today, and he was originally prepared to fight tooth and nail.

But now…it doesn’t sound right.

Chen Tianjin frowned and said, “What do you mean?”

“Yes, that’s what I mean.” Fang Jifan said with a smile.

Chen Tianjin looked at Fang Jifan with a suspicious look on his face: “Oh…don’t try to win over me on purpose.”

Fang Jifan said: “A talent like Mr. Chen can be so upright. I heard that your disciples are all over the world. There are few people in our Hongzhi Dynasty who can compare with Mr. Chen. Yes, I just want to win over Mr. Chen precisely because I value Mr. Chen’s integrity.”

Chen Tianjin couldn’t help but hesitate in his heart.

He pinched his beard, his expression changed, but Fang Jifan’s words actually sounded very comfortable to him.

If ordinary people praise him, that’s fine.

But this is Fang Jifan. This bitch, Fang Jifan, is rude to everyone, but he is so polite to him. Could it be that… he is really infected by my integrity?

This Jing Cha… would be inappropriate if he became Fang Jifan’s tool. But if I am also involved in this matter, wouldn’t it be reassuring?

Hey, if I don’t come out, what will happen to the people?

Furthermore, I do have a lot of disciples and former officials in the court. If I don’t participate and let this man named Fang act recklessly, what will my disciples and former officials do?

After thinking about this, Chen Tianjin relaxed and stared at Fang Jifan and said: “How to participate in the formulation and how to implement it?”

Fang Jifan had already prepared what he wanted to say and said: “His Royal Highness is the leader. Apart from that, Duke Yan Sheng and I serve as deputy, and we select thirteen people to serve as envoys to the capital. We all work together to contribute, how about it?”

Chen Tianjin was shocked, even Duke Yan was invited by this piece of shit?

His face became serious and he said: “How to make clear the responsibilities and powers?”

Fang Jifan said with a smile: “Of course, we have to discuss everything behind closed doors and the majority of people agree.”

“Which thirteen people? “

Fang Jifan took out a book from his sleeve.

Chen Tianjin took it and saw that there were British Dukes, Chengguo Dukes, and Shouning Marquis inside. Fortunately, there were no other nobles here. After that, there was another eunuch named Liu Jin and Ouyang Zhi, huh? There is also Eunuch Xiao Jing in the palace, and Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards… There is no one in the cabinet, but there is Liang Chu, the right minister in the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Minister of Punishment.

The people involved here can be said to be all-encompassing. Except for the prince, Duke Qi and Duke Yansheng, the rest of the people involved include the inner court, factory guards, military and various ministries.

Fang Jifan said: “Except for some eunuchs and people like Shouning Hou, the rest are all the pillars of our Ming Dynasty, and they are known as the gentle breeze on both sleeves. Mr. Chen, what do you think?”

Chen Tianjin was tempted, but He was still worried and couldn’t help but said: “Qi Guogong, you won’t have anything here…”

It was because the other successor had a bad impression, so he had to hesitate.

Fang Jifan put away his smile this time and said angrily: “Humph, you want to say that Fang Jifan excludes dissidents, and now you are asking you to come together to revise the regulations of Jingcha and preside over Jingcha, but you are here to push back and doubt me. Fang Jifan’s intentions!”

Chen Tianjin blushed slightly and thought to himself, if this is the case, it may not be a bad thing, so he should take it one step at a time.

So he coughed and said, “Well, I have no choice but to do it.”

Fang Jifan was overjoyed: “With Mr. Chen, it will be easy to handle. Isn’t it just a matter of time for the Beijing inspection? With an upright person like Mr. Chen in charge of this matter , to make people feel at ease, I will write to Mr. Chen to concurrently serve as the Beijing Inspector. In the future, I will ask Mr. Chen to rest assured about the Beijing Inspector. “

Chen Tianjin always felt that Fang Jifan seemed to be hiding some conspiracy.

But after racking my brain, I couldn’t figure it out.

After carefully thinking about the roster just now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

Furthermore, the investigation of the capital was indeed a major matter, and His Majesty had made up his mind. Instead of resisting in vain, it would be better to… sneak in. Since he could protect himself and his disciples and old officials, maybe…

He was determined, but he didn’t I don’t want to talk to Fang Jifan any more, but I stood up to say goodbye.

Naturally, Chen Tianjin didn’t want to spend much time with Fang Jifan. At most, he only had official business dealings. He didn’t want to ruin his reputation because of this shit.

………

Fang Jifan started to visit one by one, including himself, the prince and Duke Yansheng, and the thirteen capital inspectors were finalized.

Shouning Hou came to the capital in a hurry to get money and food.

Liu Jin was also on her way back to Beijing day and night.

After receiving Fang Jifan’s letter, Duke Yansheng immediately responded with a passionate letter. In this private letter, Duke Yan expressed his admiration for Fang Jifan over the years. Therefore, he also wrote to prepare to leave for Beijing.

Duke Ying and Duke Cheng could not lose face after all.

Xiao Jing and Mou Bin were worried that the Beijing police would have nothing to do with them. When they heard that the Duke of Qi was willing to accept him, of course they were very happy.

As for the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple, this itself is related to their powers and responsibilities, and they cannot hide even if they want to.

What’s more, there is such a good thing, why did he miss the opportunity and become the Beijing Inspector? At least in this Beijing Inspector, he is safe for the time being.

………

A few days later, Fang Jifan went to the palace with a set of regulations.

When Emperor Hongzhi met Fang Jifan, he asked directly: “How is the investigation in Beijing?”

Fang Jifan said, “I see that your Majesty doesn’t look very good, but what’s the matter?”

Emperor Hongzhi has always been tolerant of Fang Jifan. Hearing the concern for him in Fang Jifan’s words, he said: “It’s about the Ottoman country. Their prince came to the capital, but when he arrived at Honglu Temple, he was not in a hurry to see him. He just wandered around in the capital all day long. I’m worried about this. He is spying on something. I think this person has an ulterior motive.”

Fang Jifan smiled and said, “He is just a guest when he comes. Just let him wander around. There are many things that can’t be detected by wandering around, so just say that. The steam locomotive was delivered to them, but they couldn’t figure it out. “What’s the name of this prince?”

Xiao Jing said: “Suleiman…”

Fang

Jifan was suddenly shocked.

This man… is the most famous monarch in the entire Eurasian and African continents. His status at the junction of Eurasian and African continents is equivalent to that of Tang Taizong in the Central Plains.

“Why, Jifan has heard of this person?”

Emperor Hongzhi saw that Fang Jifan’s expression was strange.

Fang Jifan shook his head: “I’ve never heard of it.”

Emperor Hongzhi smiled: “Forget it, let’s not talk about this person anymore and continue talking about your affairs in Beijing.”

Fang Jifan then took out a preliminary charter: “Your Majesty, this is

Emperor Hongzhi took over the charter, but still looked at Fang Jifan: “Just say it.” Fang Jifan said: “If you

want

to do the inspection in Beijing, you must first convince the public. If it is unfair or has any flaws, some people will inevitably regard it as excluding dissidents. Therefore… What I mean is that all officials involved in the capital inspection should be selected from young scholars, and they should be allowed to do so. After a few days of training and study, what I learned is the laws of the Ming Dynasty. In addition, there are also methods of collecting evidence from the Beijing Police. These people can be called Beijing Prosecutors. After that, they will be ordered to conduct investigations separately. , such as accepting reports from the people, and then collecting evidence, and finally drafting a case file, and then submitting it to the Beijing Inspector. The personnel of the Beijing Inspector include His Royal Highness, his sons and ministers, and are also involved in the palace and various ministries. In this way, everyone goes through the files together, conducts verification, and finally decides the case and submits it to the palace, who makes the final decision. “

“The most critical issue is professionalism. In the past, impeachment by censors was often based on suspicion. This is ultimately inappropriate. It is always inappropriate to rush to conviction without detailed evidence or evidence collection. Xishan Academy can be responsible for training a group of talents. As for other details, they are all in the charter. Your Majesty, take a look. You will know.”
