Chapter 1222 Public opinion storm!

After learning about this situation, Ye Mingsheng became more determined to develop the navy and wipe out these evil spirits in Southeast Asia!
On the other hand, Ye Mingsheng was very interested in the actual account books of these businesses. Ye Mingsheng hoped to obtain these key core business data for comprehensive analysis, so as to better coordinate the development of Da Zhou's overseas trade!

In addition, Ye Mingsheng is also interested in using these account books as a starting point to rectify the administration of officials in Jiangnan and see how these businesses usually show respect to the masters!

Ye Mingsheng knew that if he gave the order, the governor would receive some carefully repaired account books, so in order to get the actual account books, he handed the matter over to the Coordination Office to conduct it secretly.

But it is obvious that these actual account books are the lifeblood of each business. They are well protected. Even the usually powerful Coordination Office is helpless and has gained nothing!
But Ye Mingsheng's orders must naturally be carried out faithfully, so as the director of the Coordination Office and the person in charge of this matter, Wang Xuecheng became a little anxious and prepared to use some special means to complete the task assigned to him by Ye Mingsheng!

However, due to some reasons and considering the impact of doing so, Ye Mingsheng stopped Wang Xuecheng's actions and asked Wang Xuecheng to pay attention to the impact!

For a long time in the past, the Fengwu military regime led by Ye Mingsheng did not have a department like the Censorate. However, after destroying the Luoan court and becoming the orthodox of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Ye Mingsheng established the Censorate and appointed Xiao Lingyu as the Inspector Censor...
The role of the Censorate is to supervise all officials, so there is a considerable overlap in their functions with the Central Coordination Office. In addition, in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the civil service group has always been very disgusted with secret agencies such as the Central Coordination Office.

Just like the relationship between the Censorate and the Supervisory Department before the Great Zhou Dynasty had always been incompatible, the Censors of the Censorate often impeached the commander of the Supervisory Department and had always wanted to abolish the special agency such as the General Coordination Office.

Therefore, Xiao Lingyu was no exception. Although he did not directly submit a memorial to Ye Mingsheng suggesting that he disband the United Coordination Office, he also submitted a memorial to Ye Mingsheng suggesting that he impose restrictions on the United Coordination Office!
Xiao Lingyu believed that the power of the Coordination Office in the Yijing court was a bit too great, and the supervision of all officials should be led by the Censorate, and a secret agency like the Coordination Office could only serve as an auxiliary at best.

Although the Yijing court has established the Censorate, the supervision of officials by the Yijing court is still led by the Coordination Office, while the functions and role of the Censorate are suppressed.

Xiao Lingyu believes that the current situation is abnormal. In addition, Xiao Lingyu also accused the Coordination Office of committing crimes such as torture and frame-up. Therefore, in order to prevent the Coordination Office from becoming a powerful entity, Xiao Lingyu suggested that Ye Mingsheng must change the situation.

To be honest, Ye Mingsheng agreed with Xiao Lingyu's suggestion, but Ye Mingsheng believed that the world had just been unified and had not yet been completely settled!

Moreover, Ye Mingsheng also planned to carry out in-depth reforms at this time, reforming some deep-water areas such as the tax system, to lay a solid foundation for the next new dynasty. So at this time, Ye Mingsheng still needed the Coordination Office to demonstrate its value and help him do some dirty work that others did not want to do, so Ye Mingsheng suppressed Xiao Lingyu's memorial.

But unfortunately, Xiao Lingyu could not fully understand Ye Mingsheng's meaning. He might even think that Ye Mingsheng was deceived by Wang Xuecheng and others. So in order to let Ye Mingsheng see the true evil face of the Coordination Office and their cruel methods, he organized several impeachments against the Coordination Office in the Censorate!

Originally, the Yijing court hated and feared the Coordination Office, but because they knew that the actions of the Coordination Office were a reflection of Ye Mingsheng's will, and that there was no one who dared to rush to the front without any scruples, they could never do anything to the Coordination Office!
Among them, the Ministry of Justice, where Li Jian served as the Shangshu, was the most vulnerable. Although Li Jian did not say it, he was very dissatisfied with the Coordination Office's abuse of power in the SF field. He believed that the Coordination Office interfered with the power of the Ministry of Justice. However, he did not dare to confront the Coordination Office like Xiao Lingyu.

So now that Xiao Lingyu is at the forefront, Li Jian is also fanning the flames from behind, and some other forces are also happy to see it happen and help out. This has led to a wave of public opinion against the Coordination Office within the Yijing court!
Faced with such a massive public opinion offensive, Wang Xuecheng was a little panicked at first, worried that Ye Mingsheng would arrest him and convict him under pressure from public opinion, so he tried his best to prove the value of himself and the United Coordination Office, so that he and the United Coordination Office would not become abandoned...

But it is obvious that Wang Xuecheng underestimated Ye Mingsheng. In the past, no matter how the external situation changed, Ye Mingsheng never surrendered!

At this moment, he would not make any compromises because of some internal public opinions. Of course, Ye Mingsheng was also very clear that in the past period of time, the Coordination Office was indeed somewhat domineering. It did not consider the feelings of other colleagues on some things and did some things too much, which caused public outrage and was criticized!
For this reason, Ye Mingsheng also fined Wang Xuecheng. In addition, several thousand households in the Coordination Office were also punished to varying degrees. Among them, Cao Kui, the thousand household with the worst situation and the worst impact, was also dismissed and investigated!

Xiao Lingyu was not very convinced by Ye Mingsheng's approach and still planned to organize the censors of the Censorate to continue impeaching Wang Xuecheng.

At this time, the three censors of the Censorate were also exposed for having personal moral problems and abusing their power for personal gain, and Ye Mingsheng ordered them to be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for handling!
At this point, under Ye Mingsheng's warning, Xiao Lingyu was forced to stop his crazy behavior!
Although he successfully resolved a public opinion storm, Ye Mingsheng also warned Wang Xuecheng that the actions of the Coordination Office must be restrained, and that the methods and approaches must take into account the impact of the actions, and they must not be too simple and crude. Ye Mingsheng did not want to see such a public opinion storm happen again.

Faced with Ye Mingsheng's efforts to turn the tide, Wang Xuecheng, who was caught in the midst of the public opinion storm, was very grateful to Ye Mingsheng. As the director of the Coordination Office, he had done a lot of dirty work, and the more dirty work he did, the more afraid he was of being abandoned by Ye Mingsheng.

Therefore, he kowtowed to Ye Mingsheng's warning and assured Ye Mingsheng that he would strictly control his subordinates and would not let the Coordination Office become a runaway wild horse!
(Tongming wishes all readers a happy Lantern Festival! Good health, good luck and family happiness in the new year!)
