Domineering Daming

In Yangzhou Mansion, he just made small troubles, confining his affairs here, and didn't do too much.Jin Yiwei doesn't say that it is mysterious now, and no one dared to touch it before. It was the emperor's private institution, and the imperial power was guaranteed. Who would dare to mess around?

Gong Dingzi looked at Fang Kongxuan, and was also afraid that he would cause trouble if he didn't know how to measure. He thought about it and said, "This case should be limited to Yangzhou Prefecture, and it cannot be expanded. If it cannot be stopped, it will cause disaster, and the court may not be able to deal with it." Can clean up."

Fang Kongxuan understood that this case was concluded here, but the emperor should have started a secret investigation long ago.

"En." Fang Kongxuan nodded, got up and walked out of the backyard.

At this time, Zhang Lu came back, greeted Fang Kongxuan, and then whispered in Gong Dingzi's ear: "My lord, I caught someone alive."

Gong Dingzi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Does anyone know?"

"No, we thought he was dead at first, but later found out that he was dead, but passed out, and was quietly guarded by the subordinate officials, so no outsiders knew about it," Zhang Lu said.

Gong Dingzi narrowed his eyes, but his expression was a little hesitant.

Zhang Lu knew why Gong Dingzi was hesitant. Before they came here, the cabinet clearly told them that this case must be settled quickly and easily, and it should not be dragged along and expanded infinitely.

At the same time, there were internal eunuchs who told them that there were "certain things" that they could not touch.

This "something" refers to Jin Yiwei!

Zhang Lu could see that Gong Dingzi was not reconciled, but this matter is really sensitive, once touched it may lead to catastrophe!

"My lord, the lower officials haven't questioned us yet. Why don't we just keep quiet and pretend we don't know what to do. Otherwise, if the news leaks out, not only the people behind the scenes won't let us go, but the emperor will also be furious." Zhang Lu persuaded in a low voice.

Gong Dingzi had always been cautious, but he was also ambitious. He struggled repeatedly, but he still sighed and said, "Well, do it cleanly, take care of everything about Jinyiwei, take three more days to take care of this matter, and then return to Beijing immediately .”

He is extremely uneasy here, the people behind the scenes are too powerful, judging from some things that have been found, it is not simple, if he has not been hiding in the military's sphere of influence, he might have died inexplicably long ago.

This time it was by surprise and gained the upper hand, and the next time it will not be so lucky.

"Yes!" Zhang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, turned and walked out.

Although Gong Dingzi was a little unwilling, he still endured it. He knew the risks involved.

Fang Kongxuan's speed is not slow. With the breakthrough of the master, his network of relationships was soon pulled out, bribery, bribery, power for personal gain, etc. were covered up, and more than 20 officials and gentry were arrested in one day. Qiqi pleaded guilty and confessed.

They confessed that because they opposed the "New Deal" and wanted to keep their land, they took the risk, framed the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court to measure the acres, and blamed the prefect of Yangzhou.

All the clues, testimony, and evidence are interlocking, quite sufficient, and irrefutable.

Fang Kongxuan immediately denounced this behavior as the governor, and demanded a heavy sentence from Dali Temple.

The case ended in just one day.

The governor's yamen took this opportunity to emphasize the seriousness of the "New Deal" and said that it would vigorously promote it without compromise.

However, the impact of this case will be difficult to eliminate for a while. The impeachment of the governor of Jiangsu has not diminished in the slightest, and the boiling public opinion has continued to rise.

Shenlong Mansion.

In the unremarkable courtyard, a servant girl came in quietly and whispered to the inside of the hanging curtain: "Master, Madam, there is a letter from Yangzhou Mansion. They failed, but they didn't show the beginning and end. Everything was cleaned up."

After a while, the woman's lazy voice came out slowly, interspersed with softness, and said: "Well, tell them, I will replenish them with money, and ask them not to worry."

The servant girl responded, and continued: "Yes. Several old gentlemen have written, and they hope that Madam will do more things."

There was silence in the curtain for a while, and said: "Reply to them, don't worry."

"Yes." The servant girl kept her head down, and said again: "Master, madam, the ship has been sent away. The Japanese said that they hope to get specific information on the military strength of the Satsuma clan. They are willing to bid 80 taels of silver. Also, they If you want a cannon, you can double the price."

The curtain moved, and after a while, he said, "Tell them, wait for my news."

"Yes." The servant girl responded and quietly withdrew.

After a long while, a man in the curtain let out a long breath and said: "The emperor has already suspected me, you should be quiet recently, don't be caught."

The woman's voice became softer and softer, and said: "Yes. Master, our income this month is 200 million taels. Doesn't the master like to ride horses? I will build you a pure gold..."

"Okay, you still understand me, that woman at home has always troubled me..." the man smiled heartily.

Chapter 1190 Returning to Beijing

When the government and the public were in turmoil, Zhu Xu was still in Yunwu Mountain.

After waiting for several days, Hai Lanzhu finally gave birth and gave birth to a princess.

After all, Hai Lanzhu is a woman of a different race, not to mention that she gave birth to a princess. The Queen Mother Zhang and others didn't want to see her, and now they are all polite and concerned, and don't care much.

But Zhu Xu was very happy, looking at the two children in the cradle, he was extremely satisfied.

Empress Dowager Zhang really likes the child Zhang Yun. This is the eldest son, the destined prince, and the future ring enemy. The other princes are not comparable.

This child is very important to Daming now and in the future, especially for the current court situation, it has the effect of calming the sea and stabilizing the hearts of the world.

Empress Dowager Zhang stood beside Zhu Xu, looked at the little prince and said softly, "Did you take the name from the Imperial Academy?"

Zhu Xu smiled and said: "Not yet, I'm not satisfied, so I called back, our prince can't just choose a name casually."

Empress Dowager Zhang was quite satisfied with Zhu Xu's attitude, and said with a smile: "Well, we must be cautious. Empress, Hai Lanzhu will have to cultivate here for a month before returning. I heard that there is some disturbance at the imperial court, and the parliament will finish questioning Mr. Ge?"

Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Empress Dowager Zhang, and asked in surprise, "Someone has made trouble with the Queen's wife?"

Although Empress Dowager Zhang didn't care about government affairs, she was well aware of the chaos in the court. She sighed softly and said, "Now that the disaster is raging, the government and the public must concentrate on dealing with the disaster. They can't keep making trouble like this."

Knowing that someone had found this place, Zhu Xu took the teacup casually, handed it to Empress Dowager Zhang, and said, "Sister-in-law, have a sip of tea first. Whether it's a disaster or public grievances, it will eventually become a battle among the high-ranking court officials. Fighting cannot be eliminated. Therefore, I want to minimize the scope, impact, and loss of this kind of fighting. Let them make trouble first. If there is no trouble, they will have no way to stop..."

Empress Dowager Zhang frowned, feeling annoyed by these things, said: "I've been out for quite a few days, and I'll be back in a few days, so you should go back earlier."

It wasn't a short time before Zhu Xu came out, the capital was full of excitement, he nodded and said: "Well, tomorrow, I also want to see the scene where Mr. Bi Ge is being questioned."

Empress Dowager Zhang could clearly hear the narrowness in Zhu Xu's voice, she stood up and said, "I don't care, I will close the palace gate when I go back."

Zhu Xu looked at her back, and then turned to the two babies in the cradle.

"Good son, good girl, you must grow up quickly..." Zhu Xu gently rocked the cradle, looked at the two little guys with a calm expression and a smile.

Beijing.

As the councilors were deprived of the power to submit letters and impeachment, there was no way to guide the trend of the ruling and opposition parties, and the turbulent tide of impeachment was suppressed. As the news spread that Mr. Bi Ge was about to accept a public question in the parliament, the ruling and opposition parties turned their attention to this On the second question.

A group of petty officials questioned a cabinet chief and assistant face to face. Such a situation has never happened before.

Normally, it would never happen!

But following Zhu Xu's request, Bi Ziyan agreed. He knew that this was also a way to divert the attention of the government and the public. He could accept a little loss of face.

The parliament set the questioning date on September [-]st, but Bi Ziyan forcefully postponed it by three days. This also showed the government and the opposition that Bi Ziyan is not easy to bully, but is still majestic!
