Li Shimin was indeed furious, but he did not exaggerate to the point of smashing things.
By stealing the property of these 15 corrupt officials, not only did they give away the money they borrowed for grain, but the national treasury was also filled.
In the study room of the County Marquis Mansion.
"Brother Ma, this case was handled so beautifully. Chopping off the Taiyuan Wang family's minions will make them feel pain for a long time."
"This step also shows me The idea is to deal with Wang Lishang, cut off his teeth and claws, and slowly force him out."
"And many ministers in the court strongly support it, and you are not afraid that they will do anything against you."
p>
Wang Jian said with a smile.
Wang Lishang is like a shrunken turtle. He stays in his hometown in Taiyuan and it is difficult to deal with him.
Through this case of the local county magistrate resisting the court, we finally found a way to deal with him.
In the past two days, a series of battles in the court were settled.
Of the 15 vacant county magistrates, except for 3 who are from poor families, the remaining 12 are all from the Shandong Group.
The area of Hedong Road and Henan Road is becoming more and more interesting now. The two major forces are mixed together and fighting, and it will be difficult to live in peace in the future.
"Hey, Brother Wang, even though I was the first person to attract everyone's attention, now I have made a group of people unhappy."
"Now everyone on and off the censorship table regards me as "It's a thorn in my side."
"I don't want to be a censor anymore."
Ma Zhou said jokingly, shaking his head.
When he returned to the Yushitai to work, whether it was the Yushi doctor Xiao Yu, the Yushi Zhongcheng, or other colleagues who served as the Yushi in the Taiyuan, they all treated him coldly.
Although Ma Zhou had already guessed that this would be the result, his colleague's behavior still made him feel uncomfortable.
"Haha, Brother Ma, I thought you wouldn't care about their eyes." Wang Jian poured Ma Zhou a cup of tea himself.
Ma Zhou took the tea and drank it. He didn't care about Wang Jian's teasing, but the depression on his face did not diminish.
Working in an environment where you are squeezed out everywhere is hard to bear after a long time.
All joking aside, Ma Zhou still needs to find a solution to the current predicament he is facing.
Wang Jian thought for a moment and said seriously.
"Brother Ma, don't worry. His Majesty will reward you for your merits at the meeting tomorrow."
"I will go to see my mentor later. There will be a meeting tomorrow. , recommend you to serve as a minister and temporarily escape from the whirlpool of Yushitai."
"It is also beneficial to study with Wei Zheng. That guy's ability is not inferior to that of his mentor."
< p> The chief minister is an important position in the province. He is responsible for the daily affairs of the province. He is specifically responsible for reviewing the seals and refutations of imperial edicts and memorials. If you have any objections, you can directly approve them.Change and refute the edict.There are four officials in Menxia Province, which are official positions under the fifth rank. Currently, both Kong Yingda and Zhang Xingcheng hold the position of "Geishizhong".
The current position of Ma Zhou as Shi Yushi was from an official position below the sixth rank, which was regarded as a promotion by two minor levels.
Moreover, once you enter Menxia Province, you will have many more opportunities than Yushitai.
"Brother Wang, thank you very much. I'll give you a toast!" Ma Zhou picked up the wine glass and stood up excitedly.
Wang Jian is worthy of being his most noble person. In less than a year, he has risen from a local magistrate to a minister.
The two chatted for a while and then ended the conversation hastily.
After Wang Jian sent Ma Zhou out of the mansion, he immediately went to the Duke of Wei's mansion to find Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling immediately agreed to promote Ma Zhou to Shizhong.
Ma Zhou’s talents make him extremely suitable for being on duty in Menxia Province.
Because he is not only good at writing memorials, but he is also quite talented in accepting advice.
"Teacher, disciple, say goodbye."
After saying this, Wang Jian bowed his hands to Fang Xuanling and said goodbye.
"Jian'er, wait"
Just as Wang Jian was about to turn around and leave, Fang Xuanling stopped him.
"What else can I do, mentor?" Wang Jian asked in confusion.

This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
Wang Jian’s mouth twitched, but he still responded respectfully.
"Yes, mentor."
After leaving Wei Guogong's mansion, Wang Jian began to curse in a low voice.
Damn it, he has a lot of things to do now, and he has to go to the Shangshu Province to hear the case with the prince.
I don’t know if I want to give advice to Li Chengqian.
This work is both mentally taxing and error-free, and the most important thing is that it has no benefits.
"We still need to get Ma Zhou into Zhan Shifu as soon as possible." Wang Jian murmured.
There will be a meeting the next day.
After talking about daily political affairs, it’s time to award rewards.
Li Shimin looked around at the courtiers on both sides and asked loudly.
"Dear dear friends, Shi Mazhou, the imperial censor, and Feng Ji, a member of the Ministry of Justice, solved a major case of malpractice for personal gains by 15 county magistrates. They not only saved the people's losses, but also cleaned up the worms in the court."
"How do you think we should award the reward!"
If we only investigate and deal with one or two magistrates, it will not be discussed at the court. The problem of corruption in officialdom this time is no less than that in Jiangzhou last year major anti-corruption case.
In order to prevent Ma Zhou from getting too big a reward, Xiao Yu, the imperial censor, made a smallWith this movement, the censor Zhongcheng behind him stood up.
"Your Majesty, it is our duty and mission to supervise all officials. It is our duty to clean up the moths for Your Majesty."
"Ma Zhou has been serving as the censor for less than four months. , Although he is not very skilled in internal affairs, he is a lucky person to be able to solve this major case by chance."
"And Ma Zhou was promoted from the county magistrate not long ago, and he has only been in Chang'an for a short time, so the residence is not suitable for him. Brocade items are also scarce."
"I think it would be more appropriate to give some silk and satin."
After Yushi Zhongcheng finished speaking, he lowered his head deeply. Dare to look into the eyes of colleagues around you.
He blushed as he said these words.
But after all, it was Xiao Yu, his immediate superior, who gave the instructions. If he didn't do it, he would be in trouble in the future.
As expected, someone immediately jumped out to refute him.
"Chen Zhongcheng, what you said is unfair."
"If you solve such a big case, you should be promoted to one level, and the silk and satin should also be promoted." Reward."
The one who stood up was Gao Jifu, a member of Zhongshushe. He looked at Yushi Zhongcheng with a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
In the first year of Zhenguan, Gao Jifu was promoted to the supervisory censor due to his merit. Like Ma Zhou, he was a clean figure who was not afraid of the powerful.
He was unwilling to join the others, so his relationship with Shangguan Yushi Zhongcheng had always been tense.
Fortunately, His Majesty is wise, and because of his merit in impeaching a group of officials who practiced favoritism and malpractice, he was promoted to Zhongshu Sheren.
He had been caught in the rain at Yushitai, so he also wanted to hold an umbrella for Ma Zhou.
"Your Majesty, if you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you make mistakes, you will be punished. I think you should be promoted." Wei Zheng said as he left the class holding the wat board.
"I second the proposal."
The subordinate ministers, the casual knights, the admonishment officials and other juniors all supported Boss Wei.
Once the emperor and the courtiers, now the boss of the province has changed, and they have also turned to Wei Zheng.
With Wei Zheng, a big troll, Menxia Province’s combat effectiveness has skyrocketed.
Seeing that the time had come, Fang Xuanling went out to play.
"Your Majesty, Ma Zhou is good at officialdom and discerns things clearly. Even the ministers were amazed by the advice written by Mie Locust."
"It is better to promote him to serve as a minister. "
Fang Xuanling took the lead, and a group of people from the Shangshu Province and the Sixth Ministry came out to respond.
Wang Jian, Yu Shinan, Kong Yingda and others also expressed their support.
Seeing that the opinions of all the officials were so unified, Li Shimin stopped paying attention to the people at the Yushitai and made a decision in his heart.
"Wang De, Xuan Ma Zhou and Feng Ji went to the palace."
