Before Mr. Wen Tianxiang took charge of the Ministry of punishment, the cost of handling cases in the Ministry of punishment was very large.

Most of them were embezzled or wasted after investigation.

However, the speed of handling cases by the Ministry of punishment is extremely slow. Many major cases and important cases have been left there and cannot be solved.

After taking office, seeing these phenomena, with the personality of Mr. Wen Tianxiang, it is naturally intolerable.

He suggested that the Ministry of punishment and the Ministry of household should work together to review the expenses of the Ministry of punishment at the prescribed time every year.

After the implementation, the effect is quite good. The cost of the Department has been reduced by a third.

For this reason, Emperor LiZong also issued a special edict to praise the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang.

Normally, Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of justice, arranges the Minister of the Ministry of justice to take several officers with him to deal with such a matter jointly with the Ministry of punishment. After all, things like this are not "the same this year as before." Zhang Yihong, Secretary of the Ministry of household affairs.

Adding to the tone, he said to the Minister Wen Tianxiang, "I will never embarrass the Ministry of punishment."

Naturally, Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, would not believe what he said.

Since returning to Lin'an, there have been too many conflicts with the group headed by Prime Minister Jia Sidao.

Only at this time, this distrust, can only be put in the heart, will not speak out.

After Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said that it would be best if he could.

Between the words, the official in charge of the accounts of the Ministry of punishment brought the relevant accounts.

Of course, Zhang Yihong and Wen Tianxiang, the Secretary of the Ministry of justice, will not participate in this specific matter. They just sit there and supervise the audit.

Whether it is the Ministry of punishment or the Ministry of accounts, they are all experienced accountants.

Naturally, the speed of audit is very fast. It takes only half a day to audit all the major financial expenditures. The rest is only a small amount of expenditures. Naturally, there is no need for the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts. Zhang Yihong and the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, are present in person. They just need the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of accounts to make further contact.

It's really unexpected that things are going so smoothly. He thinks that Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of justice, has to make it difficult for him to take charge of the Ministry of justice.

Maybe it will come to the leader of the Song Dynasty, Emperor LiZong.

Last year, because of the audit, the Ministry of punishment and the Ministry of household argued fiercely and couldn't stick to it. Finally, Emperor LiZong himself issued an imperial edict, and the audit was settled.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of justice, suddenly became so reasonable. It really made Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, a little uncomfortable.

It's easy for a good man to become a bad man, but it's really hard for a bad man to become a good man.

In charge of the Ministry of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang knows this too well.

"It's settled, Mr. Zhang?" He asked Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the household department.

Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of accounts, replied positively, "yes."

"Mr. Wen, what's your dissatisfaction with this audit?" He asked back.

As a result, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, will not be dissatisfied.

This time, the Ministry of household affairs came to work for the Ministry of punishment. Seeing that it's getting late, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, who is in charge of the Ministry of punishment, should express his mind.

So he said that he hoped Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the household, would stay and have dinner together.

Thanks to the Ministry of justice.

Sometimes, it's necessary to be worldly.

Otherwise, there are things you can't do.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of justice, listened to Wen Tianxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, saying that he should stay and entertain himself. He said with a smile, knowing that the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, is an honest official, it's OK to entertain himself here.

Having said this, he changed his tone and said that if the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, would like to go to the residence of the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, tomorrow evening.

They both worked as ministers in the imperial court at the same time. There were so many opportunities to meet each other on weekdays. However, since the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, returned to Lin'an to serve as minister, Mr. Zhang Yihong has not visited the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang's residence.

If it's a banquet hosted by the Ministry of punishment, it's the expense of the Ministry of punishment. But when it comes to the private residence of Mr. Wen Tianxiang, it's naturally the private expense of Mr. Wen Tianxiang.

Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of justice, is in line with the official style of the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. For this, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang didn't think of it, but he was worried about it. Zhang Yihong was the confidant of the prime minister Jia Sidao. If he offered to invite him to his residence, on the one hand, the other party might not be willing. On the other hand, he was the representative of the Qingliu in the imperial court. Please invite Zhang Yihong, the confidant of the prime minister Jia Sidao In his own residence, I'm afraid it will cause Qing Liu's incomprehension.There may even be some people making waves because of this ..。

Some things, seemingly a small thing, may set off huge waves.

Having been an official for so many years, he had to be careful before he did anything.

Like his old rival, Jia Sidao, I wish I had an accident!

But this time, on the surface, Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of justice, didn't embarrass himself. He offered to visit him at his residence. If the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and Lord Wen Tianxiang didn't agree, it would be too inhuman.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, agreed to come down and said to the minister that he would be waiting for the minister and Zhang Yihong in his residence on time tomorrow night.

Just one thing, he wants to put the scandal to the front. No one is allowed to bring a gift, even a gift worth a penny, when he comes to his mansion.

Once the violation of this point, then the person will be rejected.

Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of justice, said that he had heard about the rules of the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.

Absolutely not against.

After that, he got up and said goodbye.

the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, read an urgent official document and went back to his residence in a sedan chair.

When he came back, Zhang Shijie, the Minister of the Ministry of war, and Lu Xiufu, the living room man, had been waiting in his own living room for a long time.

It turned out that the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, was thinking about what happened today. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it again.

He felt that it would be safer to call in the soldiers' Chamberlain, Zhang Shijie, the living room man and Lu Xiufu for discussion.

The two men's residence is not far away from the residence of the Minister of punishment and Lord Wen Tianxiang. It happens that there is nothing wrong in their yamen today. They came back earlier. When they heard that the Minister of punishment and Lord Wen Tianxiang asked them to have a talk with him, they came immediately.

After seeing the ceremony, the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, said with apology that they had been working hard for a day, and they had to trouble the Minister of the Ministry of war, Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu to come to their residence.

Zhang Shijie, the Minister of the Ministry of war, is the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. Mr. Wen Tianxiang recommended him to the emperor and was promoted to the Lin'an court as an official. Lu Xiufu was recommended by Li Tingzhi, who is in charge of Jianghuai. Mr. Wen Tianxiang also has a deep origin with the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. This man respects the Minister of the Ministry of punishment and his way of being an official.

It can be said that these two men are the powerful arms of Minister Wen Tianxiang in the imperial court.

Otherwise, he would not have summoned Zhang Shijie and Lu Xiufu to discuss.

After listening to the story, the two did not immediately speak.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Shijie, the Minister of the Ministry of war, said that it was just a weasel who wanted to pay a new year's call to the chicken.

"In your opinion, send someone to refuse the Secretary of the household department, Zhang Yihong?" Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang asked.

Zhang Shijie, Minister of the Ministry of war, replied, "that's not necessary."

After all, tomorrow will be the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Lord Wen Tianxiang himself will be on top of his residence.

As long as we take precautions seriously, nothing will happen.

Living room people also think it should be like this.

Even if you want to murder the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang and Mr. Zhang Yihong, the Minister of household affairs, will also choose to do so when the Minister of punishment and Mr. Wen Tianxiang go out. It is not only easy to start, but also can avoid causing other people's suspicion afterwards.

If there is something wrong with the banquet tomorrow night, the first suspect is Zhang Yihong.

After all, Zhang Yihong belongs to the confidant of prime minister Jia Sidao. The Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang, often destroys the good deeds of the prime minister Jia Sidao in the court.

Because of this, the prime minister Jia Sidao hates the Minister of punishment, Lord Wen Tianxiang.

He said that he arranged his confidants to deal with the Minister of punishment. Mr. Wen Tianxiang, many people will definitely believe it.

The prime minister Jia Sidao, the Secretary of the Ministry of household and Zhang Yihong are all smart people. Naturally, I won't do what outsiders can see at a glance.

"I'm against the increase of grain and pay by Shi Songzhi, who is in charge of Xiangyang. Is it not that Zhang Yihong, the Secretary of the Ministry of family, was ordered by the prime minister Jia Sidao to give up his position?" Zhang Yihong, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, asked.

After hearing this, Lu Xiufu thought it was very possible.

This year's audit passed smoothly.

Tomorrow night, Zhang Yihong, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, takes this as a threat to let the Minister of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang, make a concession and agree to increase the provision. That's quite possible.

You know, the prime minister Jia Sidao and the Minister of the Ministry of household, Zhang Yihong, have always been the masters who can't get up early without profit ..。But these three people know that up to now, no matter the prime minister Jia Sidao, the Minister of the Ministry of household, or Zhang Yihong, they will not allocate food and pay for Shi Songzhi, who is in charge of Xiangyang.

After all, this decision, that's against the rules.

Lord Wen Tianxiang, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, said to Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie, the Minister of the Ministry of war, one yard goes to one yard.

As the head of the Ministry of punishment, he expressed his gratitude, but if he wanted to make a deal with the principles, he would never do it.

Xiangyang's current situation does not need to increase the grain and pay. As a minister, he should tell the truth. Otherwise, he would be unfaithful to the emperor LiZong of the Song Dynasty.

Let alone the Minister of the Ministry of justice, for Zhang Yihong, the prime minister Jia Sidao will come in person, and the Minister of the Ministry of punishment, Mr. Wen Tianxiang will also refuse .。
