Chapter 162 Let's Talk About Conditions

Facing the imperial envoy Zhao Xing, who turned against each other faster than turning over books, all the officials were stunned. I really didn't understand what he was selling this and that one.

Zhao Xing smiled and picked up a large memorial written by Zhao Zi, held it in his hand, and said to you with a smile: "Actually, I don't want to do it hard for you. I just want to do the errands assigned by the emperor, do my duty, and submit the assignment to the emperor. However, if you don't cooperate, it's impossible for me to submit the assignment to the emperor. I'm difficult for me, so I have to let everyone follow me." This is quite straightforward. If you make me happy, we will all live well. If you make me difficult, then we will overturn the table and stop playing.

All the officials nodded awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

"Actually, Yue Hesheng's case is not a big deal in our Ming Dynasty. Our Jinyiwei has already had evidence. But you still don't cooperate, so the emperor has to send me this trip. According to what I mean, I don't need to go so hard, just come directly, take people away, go to Beijing and return to my North Town Fushi Office, and go to Zhaozhu. Everything is clear. I guess it will be done at this time, and then go home to sleep with my two wives. Why bother to suffer in this remote area? Dear elders, I don't know if what I said is right."

Everyone said it was right or wrong, and they could only giggle in embarrassment. However, it was obvious that Zhao Xing's intention to not behave much, so everyone let go of their hearts. They just waited for the conditions of "What are you going to do?" that Zhao Xing said just now.

As long as there are conditions, you can talk about it. There is no condition that the world cannot be negotiated.

"So, let's sit down and have a good talk. Everyone takes a step back and gets this case done. I can handle the matter and you can feel at ease. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Geng Ruqi, who understood that he had returned to normal at that time, but he no longer dared to face Zhao Xing coldly, so he changed into a professional smile and nodded with his beard: "The imperial envoy is right. Is this case really big? There is no need to let the emperor worry about it anymore. We can just use the imperial envoy's intention to break up this matter. Do you think so?"

Everyone didn't understand the key point, and that was a fool, so they quickly wiped their cold sweat while nodding and echoing: "Yes, yes, what the two adults said."

Geng Ruqi said again: "I don't know how the imperial envoy is going to settle this case." Tantan said this, touched the conditions, and then everyone talked about it.

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "My first task is to investigate the Yue Hesheng case." When he said this, he looked at the Shaanxi Governor Hu Tingyan who had just arrived to join the blocking alliance, and his eyes were fun. Just this glance made Hu Tingyan feel that his heart was penetrated by two knives, and the cold sweat fell down. When he was about to collapse, Zhao Xing turned his eyes and continued to say to everyone's representative Geng Ruqi: "The second one is to suppress the mutiny. Yue Hesheng is fine, a crime of false reporting and deception, everyone should not object."

Geng Ruqi took the lead and nodded: "This fact is clear and the evidence is conclusive."

"A sin of greed should be too."

The Shaanxi Censor immediately responded: "The imperial envoy found that Yue Hesheng's nearly 100,000 yuan was worth a fortune, which is a foregone conclusion."

"The arrears of military pay caused the border army to mutiny due to famine. This is not said."

Geng Ruqi pounded the table hatefully: "This boy is so bold and reckless, he will be punished for death."

"That means you all agree to these crimes?"

Everyone immediately nodded in agreement like a carousel.

Geng Ruqi carefully asked for his uneasy colleagues: "Then is the case resolved?"

Zhao Xing did not answer this matter and suddenly changed his tone: "Yue Hesheng's death penalty has been settled, but the position of governor of Yansui cannot be vacant."

Seeing those people whose eyes suddenly lit up, Zhao Xing sneered in his heart: "Remember to eat but not beaten." He then said: "This position directly governs the military logistics supply along Yulin borders. This time, the imperial envoy came to calm the border troops, so that they would not be able to take advantage of the situation, and let the Tartars take advantage of the situation, and let them continue to guard the border for the country. The best solution is to send them money and food." Then he looked at the indignant officials and added: "The emperor came to instruct me that they were all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and they were all citizens of the Ming Dynasty, and they should use comfort but not suppress them, especially in the chaos in the northwest, and these soldiers were needed to serve the country."

The emperor set a tone. Even though these officials hated the king to the core, they could only praise the emperor's wise and benevolent.

"So, I need a capable person to act as the governor of Yansui and cooperate with the imperial envoy to solve this matter. But I think Hong Chengchou, the three-biandu grain participating in politics, can take this responsibility. What do you think?"

As soon as he said that, the group of people understood that this guy was using Hong Chengchou to take this position and making conditions with him. No wonder Hong Chengchou was busy, it turned out that they had already colluded.

But this position is so eye-catching, how can you give it to outsiders?

Without waiting for everyone to argue, Zhao Xing picked up the impeachment memorial that Zhao Zi had just written and said, "If you can join us in the country to promote the wise men, I will immediately form a case of Yue Hesheng and go to the border area. But if Yan Sui does not have the capable ministers whom I recommend, this, that—"

Shaanxi Governor Hu Tingyan stood up without hesitation: "Mr. Hong is in the south of the Yangtze River and has made great achievements in the northwest, especially in the three-sided governor's office, and has made great achievements in the dispatch of money and grain. This time, he serves as a supporter for the imperial envoy, and it is just right for the subordinates. This is not talented, and he will be the tail of the imperial envoy. He is named and recommended to Lord Hong Chengchou as the successor of Yansui Governor."

Zhao Xing nodded with a smile: "Master Hu is keen to recognize talents. I will go back to meet the saints in the future and should mention the abilities of the sages again."

Furthermore, as soon as the word came out, Hu Tingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He took the team quickly this time and finally escaped the disaster. In the future, he had to quickly attach to the popular person in the eyes of the emperor and eliminate future troubles.

Retreat bravely? Just pull it down. That is a helpless act made by a stupid person. You are a smart person. How good it is to be an official, you can be a one day.

With the initiative of Hu Tingyan, a pivotal figure, others may feel unwilling to accept it, but they calmed down the Yue Hesheng case as soon as possible, and it was true that they would save everyone. So, after taking out the case closing reports, signing their own name and stamping them, you also signed the recommended names in turn on the memorial of Zhao Xing's recommendation of Hong Chengchou as the governor of Yansui. Both sides happily parted.

After seeing off a group of bigwigs who were fighting with him, Zhao Xing personally wrote a memorial to Chongzhen, explained his experiences these days in detail, and then sent someone to escort Yue Hesheng to Beijing alone.
