Chapter 161: The Big Case of Shangyong
There was a problem with Shangyong’s official inspection this year. Deng Sheng was furious and scolded Zhang Bin. The news spread throughout the court in an instant. Everyone looked at Kou Zhun differently. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials dared to attack Zhang Bin, the big boss of the court. This courage is enough to be admired.

In the official office of Shangshu Province, Hu Weiyong, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Jiang Wan, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, were also discussing this matter in the classroom.

"Master Xiang, this Kou Zhun is really powerful. He found out the problem of Shangyong within less than a day after he took office. Now it's all right. Zhang Bin is going to stumble. I heard that the king sent Zhang Bin to Qianyang. Gong, I reprimanded him severely." Hu Weiyong laughed.

Jiang Wan also smiled and said, "When I heard about it just now, I was sweating for Kou Zhun, but luckily the king didn't protect Zhang Bin, otherwise Kou Zhun would be in big trouble."

"Master Xiang, do you think the king will take this opportunity to take down Zhang Bin's order?" Hu Weiyong asked. He is also a member of the six books, and Hu Weiyong is also eyeing the position of the order. That is a phase, so Hu Weiyong Yongcai asked Jiang Wan if Zhang Bin would lose his commanding position because of this incident. If that was the case, then Hu Weiyong's chance would come.

Jiang Wan also knew what Hu Weiyong was thinking, but it was impossible. Jiang Wan shook his head and said, "Weiyong, I know what you're thinking, but this matter alone is not enough to pull Zhang Bin down. Zhang Bin was the king's earliest counselor, and he is deeply trusted by the king, and in terms of seniority, you are not as good as Zhang Bin, so don't think about it now."

When Hu Weiyong saw that Jiang Wan had spoken his mind directly, he smiled awkwardly and said, "The Prime Minister sees it clearly, but Weiyong is beyond his control."

"Hehe." Jiang Wan said with a smile, "You don't have to belittle yourself, I know your ability very well, and that position is only a matter of time, so don't worry too much."

"What Xiangye said is true." Hu Weiyong replied.

On the other hand, when Zhang Bin returned to the provincial class room under his door, he tidied up casually and took people to Shangyong himself. Although Zhang Bin also knew that this incident would not affect his position as an orderly officer, but it would affect himself. The impression in Deng Sheng's mind was that if he didn't gain Deng Sheng's trust, no matter how high he sat, it would be futile.

Those who left with Zhang Bin were people from the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Officials. These people were sent by Fan Zhongyan and Kou Zhun to assist Zhang Bin. At the same time, some officials from the Ministry of Officials who had been to Shangyong were also investigated.

Originally, Zhang Bin thought it was just a trivial matter, and it was likely that the investigation officials of the Ministry of Officials came up with such similar investigation results to save trouble, but when Zhang Bin went to Shangyong, he realized the seriousness of the matter.

After entering the boundary of Shangyong, Zhang Bin found that the people here were evasive towards him and his party, as if they were afraid of him, which was very strange, so he sent someone to change into casual clothes to make an unannounced visit.

The result of returning back surprised Zhang Bin. It turned out that these people were not afraid of themselves, but purely afraid of being an official. After asking, they found out that officials, large and small, in Shangyong often listed some tax collection items. If they can't hand it over, they will directly confiscate their property, causing many people's wives to be separated.

There are also some people who sue the prefect's mansion, but the officials of the prefect's mansion also vent their anger from one nostril, and the officials protect each other, and the extra money and food go directly into the pockets of those officials. Bribery, those officials in the official department usually don't have high salaries, but when they see so much money all of a sudden, they are shaken without any surprise.

After Zhang Bin heard about it, he sent out all the people who came with him. A few days later, when the investigation results were handed over to Zhang Bin, Zhang Bin could only describe it as shocking.

In a fit of rage, Zhang Bin went directly to Liao Ming, the Pingdong general who was stationed in Shangyong, and asked Liao Ming to dispatch troops to control Shangyong's prefect's mansion in the name of ordering from the door.

The officials of the Shangyong Prefect's Mansion were under control with a confused look on their faces. After controlling the situation, Zhang Bin reported the situation to Deng Sheng.

In Qianyang Palace, Deng Sheng took Zhang Bin's investigation results in Shangyong and was furious. He ordered the Criminal Department to conduct a thorough investigation, and ordered Pingdong General Liao Ming to fully cooperate with Zhang Bin and take down all the officials involved.

Once the big case of Shangyong happened, it shocked the court. No one could have imagined that such a big thing would happen in the remote place of Shangyong.

The major case of Shangyong involved a lot. More than [-]% of the officials in Shangyong County from the prefect to the county magistrate and county lieutenant were directly taken down, and the officials who participated in the investigation of Shangyong were also taken down.

The big Shangyong case lasted for a month, and finally the dust settled. The prefect of Shangyong and the magistrates of nine counties, except the magistrate of Fangling, were all beheaded.

On November 13, the [-]th year of Qianyuan, there was a court meeting in Jingyang Palace.

Deng Sheng sat on the throne with a blank expression on his face. Your Highness, Zhang Bin will report the handling of the major case of Shangyong one by one.

"Shocking, you all have a look, in Shangyong, the people live in dire straits." Deng Sheng held back Zhang Bin's booklet and said, holding back his anger.

Everyone was silent. Seeing this, Deng Sheng sneered and said, "What's the matter? Don't talk anymore? Aren't you usually good at talking, Zhang Bin, tell me."

Seeing Deng Sheng pointing at himself again, Zhang Bin could only smile wryly and said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This matter is due to my negligence, which caused Shangyong to produce so many moths. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Deng Sheng nodded, and said: "Okay, since you also know your mistake, then Zhang Bin obeys the order!"

"The minister is here!" Zhang Bin replied with a bewildered expression.

"Mingmen ordered Zhang Bin to concurrently serve as the prefect of Shangyong, and he will go to Shangyong to take up the post immediately. There must be no mistakes. All matters under the door will be temporarily managed by Zhongshu order Cui Hao." Deng Sheng said.

"What!" As soon as Deng Sheng said this, there was an uproar in the hall. You must know that Zhang Bin is a door order, one of the three prime ministers, and now he has been demoted to Shangyong to be the prefect. Although the position of door order is still reserved, but who I also know when Deng Sheng will be able to remember Zhang Bin and transfer him back to Wancheng.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang gave the order. Isn't it inappropriate to be the prefect of Shangyong?" Cui Hao also persuaded. After all, if a dignified prime minister goes to be the prefect in the backcountry of Shangyong, Zhang Bin's face will probably be ashamed. .

"It doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not. Since this matter is all due to Zhang Bin's miscalculation, he has to clean up the mess. When Shangyong is well governed, he will come back. There is no need to discuss this matter again, and he will retreat." After finishing speaking, Deng Sheng got up and left.

After Deng Sheng left, all the ministers stepped forward to comfort Zhang Bin, and Zhang Bin turned around and left with a bitter face.

It is said that on the day Zhang Bin left, Yue Fei and Cui Hao, civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, came to see him off. The scene was very sad.

Deng Sheng, who returned to Qianyang Palace, thought about it carefully, and felt that the reason why Shangyong made such a appearance was probably because Deng Guo did not have a supervisory official organization. Although Su Hong's Ming Jing also had this responsibility, but because Deng Foreign expansion is frequent, so Mingjing's main energy is put outside, so Deng Sheng wondered whether to set up a new supervisory agency, so Deng Sheng called Cui Hao and Jiang Wan to discuss.

After hearing this, Cui Hao and Jiang Wan felt conflicted in their hearts. After all, when the supervisory agency came out, they were also under the supervision, but when they thought about Shangyong and Deng Sheng's attitude, they didn't dare to make any comments.
