Chapter 2415 Gui Zi Juan joins hands and conspires

"Why, you don't trust Shu Xiang so much?" Sun Chengzong pursed his lips and smiled. "Although Shu Xiang is not as strong as his brother, his tact does not mean that he has no principles. It is precisely this kind of tact that allows him to stay in Nanjing and prevent the imperial court from criticizing Nanjing. I don’t know the details of the past few years. He can stay in Nanjing and not leave. This is originally the arrangement of the imperial court."

Shuxiang is the name of Sun Dingxiang, the censor of the right capital of the Kyoto Procuratorate. He is also the younger brother of Sun Juxiang. In the past two years, he has been keeping a low profile and has been almost silent. Sun Dingxiang had returned to the capital when the army captured Nanjing. Now I don’t know if he’s coming back or not.

　　If Feng Ziying realized something, she slightly chinned her head. If so, it would make sense, "Brother Shuxiang is back?"

"It should be here." Sun Chengzong nodded, "When I left Beijing, he had just arrived in Beijing, and he should have been summoned back to Beijing. At that time, the court should have been making arrangements, but I didn't expect that we would move so quickly, and we would kill Jiangnan in just a few seconds. We've been beaten, count the days, it's time for Shuxiang to arrive."

Feng Ziying knew that Sun Chengzong probably had a deep friendship with Sun Dingxiang, so he said this, and he also knew Sun Dingxiang's whereabouts relatively well.

"Brother Shuxiang, I haven't seen him for a few years. He has been working in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate for so long and has always been very tolerant." Feng Ziying looked at Sun Chengzong, "How much control does he have over the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Strong? In other words, he should know how many of the censors in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate are reliable, right?"

Sun Chengzong was happy, "Ziying, it seems that you are still worried about Shuxiang. He is a veteran, and the court placed him in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate after careful consideration. You should rest assured about this."

"That's good, I'm worried about this, but for the Zhen brothers, we still need the censor from the capital. I guess the Zhen brothers should be mentally prepared now, otherwise they wouldn't even use the beauty trick."

"The beauty trap is only used when it works for you." Sun Chengzong glanced at Feng Ziying, "Not to mention, I think the Zhen family's move will have to be delayed as Jia Yucun said. If Ziying If you can accept it, it may be more helpful to hold the Zhen family back from jumping over the wall."

"Brother Zhisheng, do you also want to frame me for injustice?" Feng Ziying said with a sneer: "How about we not mention this matter? Let's first put the Zhen family, Tang family, Ding family and his private salt sales system in Let’s settle the affairs of these powerful families in each state capital.”

Sun Dingxiang arrived together with people from the Capital Inspectorate.

The scale of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate is far different from that of the Capital Metropolitan Procuratorate. However, although the Sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and there are still six or seven censors. Because it is small, and it seems that it has not been taken seriously in the past two years, That's why Sun Dingxiang quietly turned the entire Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate into his territory.

The capital procuratorate was led by the left deputy censor Yang Lian, while Sun Dingxiang represented the Nanjing metropolitan procuratorate.

In terms of status, Sun Dingxiang is one level higher. He is the censor of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate does not have the censor of the left capital, so he is actually the top leader of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate There is no way to compare with the imperial censor. Yang Lian, the deputy censor of the left capital, has much more real power than Sun Dingxiang, the censor of the right capital.

Furthermore, although Yang Lian was from Huguang, he had a particularly close relationship with the Jiangnan scholars, similar to how Li Sancai was more friendly to the Jiangnan scholars even though he was from the north.

 So the two of them had constant disagreements on the road.

Sun Dingxiang was naturally at a disadvantage on the way. He was alone. But when he returned to Nanjing and called all the censors from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, he had the skills to compete with the censors from the capital led by Yang Lian. Qualified.

I have to say that they are all censors. In theory, Sun Dingxiang is the second-rank official. According to the convention, Nanjing officials have to be lowered by two levels compared to the officials in the capital, which is only equivalent to the third-rank official. Yang Lian is also the left and deputy censor of the third-rank official.

However, the deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was slightly weaker than the ministers of the Seven Ministries. In addition, the pacification of Jiangnan was mainly based on the Ministry of War. Before Gu Bingqian arrived, Sun Chengzong still relied on Sun Chengzong to handle the Jiangnan matter. As respected as Feng Ziying, Sun Dingxiang and Yang Lian could only occupy a subordinate position.

"Is such a large-scale action appropriate?" Yang Lian's temperament is also quite fiery and strong. He has no objection to the strategy set by the court, but he has his own opinions on the specific operations, "It involves so many If the Jiangnan giants are fully rolled out, will the effect meet our expectations?"

"Well Wen Ru, do you mean to focus on the key points first and let go of the others?" Sun Dingxiang snorted, "If only the Zhen family is touched, then this alerting the snake may allow so many other powerful people to get the news and do good things. Prepare, when we are ready to take action again, our joy may be in vain. These powerful people in Jiangnan have deep connections in the local area, and it will be easy to sell, hide or even transfer their assets. By then, the court's wishes will be frustrated or greatly reduced. Now the court is facing difficulties , everyone knows it,…”

What Sun Dingxiang said is indeed true. Only the leaders of these companies are affected, but other involved people will definitely react immediately. If the time comes to catch the blind again, it will be a big loss.

"But if it is fully rolled out, if there is insufficient manpower, it will really become unfocused and difficult to break through. In the end, it will be cooked into rice with uncooked rice, which will be even more difficult to explain." Yang Lian showed no weakness, "Rather than doing that, I would rather take the first The key point is to deal with the Zhen family first!"

"What about the Tang family and the Ding family, the in-laws of the Zhen family? And what about the other three families besides the Zhen family among the other four families? Are they constantly moving?" Sun Dingxiang was not polite, "We just watch them hide, resell, and squander? We need to find out the affairs of the Zhen family. Can we do it in two or three months? After two or three months, the other families may have dispersed long ago. How much can be left to the court? How powerful are these powerful locals? The power is so luxuriant and deep-rooted that it has a complicated relationship with the local government. How can you still count on the local government?"

"I admit that what you said, Shuxiang, makes sense, but we can't roll it out at all. This is not in the capital city, where we can handle it with ease. Now this is what makes us ride a tiger." Yang Lian further said: "If If we can drag Mr. Gu Ge to come, maybe..."

 “It can’t be delayed until that time.” Feng Ziying finally answered.

"Ziying, why did you say that?" Yang Lian didn't have much favorable impressions of Feng Ziying, but he also admitted that this person was quite capable and had made a great contribution this time, and he also had to respect the status of the other party's Minister of War.

At first, the two ministers of the Ministry of War suddenly disappeared in the capital. The last news came that the two "privately" led the army south to conquer the "Three Towns in the South of the Yangtze River", which also caused an uproar within the imperial court.

Although it was said that the troops were sent "privately", insiders in the imperial court knew that without the nod of the court bosses, how could two ministers of the Ministry of War dare to mobilize the army to go south?

 This operation lasted for at least a month. Does the Minister of War not know? Don't you know? The Ministry of Revenue even borrowed two million taels of silver specifically for this purpose, which was too revealing.

However, everyone admired the courage of Sun Chengzong and Feng Keng.

 Such a sudden move is almost to reduce the responsibilities of the cabinet ministers by half.

 Success will not be mentioned, of course, but if it fails, the cabinet will at most be responsible for oversight, and Sun Chengzong and Feng Keng will be held seriously accountable.

The rest of the job is the lightest. If you do n’t do it well, you have to be held in prison, especially to face the counterattack of Emperor Tongdang and Tasha.

 But now everything is going smoothly beyond imagination. Sun Chengzong and Feng Keng, especially Feng Keng's boldness, carefulness and good planning played a key role.

Jiangnan was completely controlled without causing major turmoil in Jiangnan, and the threat of the "Three Jiangnan Towns" was eliminated. At the same time, it also frightened local officials in the four provinces of Jiangnan, laying a solid foundation for the imperial court to re-establish its prestige in Jiangnan. Good foundation.

Based on this point alone, Yang Lian felt that no amount of reward or praise would be too much.

 So when he arrived in Jinling, he laughed off the report that Feng Ziying had secretly taken two maids of the prisoner Li Shouzhong as concubines.

What a joke. The number one hero who made the great contribution to pacifying Jiangnan is worthy of being reported for sleeping with a few women who may be sent to the Jiaofang Department at any time?

He, Feng Ziying, really wanted to win over these two women. When Li Shouzhong's family was raided and imprisoned, it would be the same again, and it would even be simpler and easier, and it would be a matter of course.

Besides, Yang Lianqing is upright and even a bit rigid, but he still knows the importance of things like this.

He even wondered if someone was deliberately causing trouble and creating internal discord to undermine the court's next move in Jiangnan.

Moreover, the Jiangnan operation itself was led by the Ministry of War. The attitude of Sun and Feng was very critical, and the status of his own group was also very embarrassing.

 In the front, the Ministry of War headed by Sun Feng will take the lead, and in the back, as soon as Gu Bingqian arrives, it will be turned to the Disposal Committee headed by Gu Bingqian to take charge of the overall situation.

In fact, people in the court of prosecutors actually assisted the Ministry of War to make the preparation work in the early stage, maximize the collection of wealth for the court, and to rely on the foundation of Jiangnan.

So when Feng Ziying opened her mouth, Yang Lian also took it seriously.

"Brother Wenru, I can't wait any longer. If we don't move, I'm afraid these people will move first." Feng Ziying's tone was very light, but very sure.

"Who are they? Ziying is talking about the three families of Zhen, Tang, and Ding, or the family of Zhen, Zhou, Hu, and Tao?" Yang Lian asked immediately.

“It’s all included.” Feng Ziying briefly introduced the latest moves of the Zhen family, which immediately caused shock among everyone present.

Using two women from the Zhen family to sexually bribe Feng Ziying is not worth mentioning. What woman can handle such a big thing?

It's just that Xiao Fengxian loves beauty, but the three hundred thousand taels of silver makes everyone unable to sit still.

How many of the people here can withstand the power of three hundred thousand taels of silver?
