Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The biggest joke in the world is to empathize with others. How can you experience the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy without personally experiencing the sour, spicy, bitter, salty, and sweet?

Everyone has different trajectories, will have different thoughts, and will have different lives. One thought of heaven and one thought of hell. It is always so simple to say, but in reality there are too many temptations...

"Yuansuke! Something big happened!!"

In the cabinet, a thin middle-aged man looked panicked. Before he saw anyone, he heard anxious voices. This made Gu Bingqian, who was in the official room, frown.

Where is the cabinet?

Even if it's a big deal that breaks the sky, the cabinet can't be in chaos!

Under Gu Bingqian's displeased gaze, he saw a thin middle-aged man running in with the black gauze hat on his head crooked. Seeing this, Gu Bingqian felt even more dissatisfied in his heart.

"How dignified!"

Gu Bingqian snorted coldly, frowned and scolded: "The cabinet is such an important place. How many pairs of eyes are staring at the court? As a member of the Central Academy of Sciences, how dare you be so frivolous and ignore the court's etiquette?!"

"It's Meng Lang, the lower official."

Faced with such rebuke, the lean middle-aged man first bowed and then stretched out his hands to straighten his clothes. Although he tried hard to control his emotions, he could not hide the panic between his brows.

No wonder he has been an official for nearly twenty years, but he is still a student of No. 1 Middle School, and his character is really bad.

When Gu Bingqian saw this scene, although he didn't say anything else, he felt contempt in his heart. He had previously had the idea of ​​recommending this person, but now he completely gave up.

"What happened?"

Gu Bingqian lifted the sleeves of his robe and picked up the tea cup at hand. When he lifted the lid, he looked up at the thin middle-aged man and then took a sip of tea.

"Return to Yuansuke!"

The lean middle-aged man immediately bowed and said, "The West Police Factory sent out a large number of police officers, and arrested a large number of officials in the name of the gunpowder smuggling case. Among them, the most people who belong to the Ministry of War were arrested!"

puff~

Gu Bingqian was holding the tea cup, but the tea he drank in his mouth spurted out. At this moment, Gu Bingqian looked shocked and his hands trembled slightly.

No.

Why are you here again?

Previously, the Jin Yiwei sent out a large number of flag schools and arrested a group of officials without explanation and sent them to prison. This caused quite a stir in the court.

Even among the arrested officials, many were taken to the Western Market and sentenced to death for selling their official positions for private purposes, which shocked everyone in the capital.

Now the West Police Factory has sent out a large number of police officers to arrest a large number of officials in the outer court directly in the name of gunpowder smuggling. But the key to the problem is that before this, the West Police Factory had just completed a thorough investigation of the war bureau. They are still skinning and stuffing a group of internal officials in the West City!

"Are you telling the truth?"

Gu Bingqian suppressed his surprise and looked at the lean middle-aged man.

"it is true!"

The lean middle-aged man said eagerly: "Now it has spread all over Yousi. After the subordinates learned about the news, they immediately rushed back to Tong Yuanfu to report it, and these batch of factory workers also went to one place."

"where?"

Gu Bingqian frowned.

"Uncle Ningyuan's Mansion!"

slap~

After hearing this, Gu Bingqian couldn't hold back his shock. The tea cup he was holding fell to the ground, and the splashing tea stained his official boots.

Why is the Li family still involved?

Gu Bingqian's hands trembled.

Although Li Chengliang has passed away long ago, the Li family is not prominent in Beijing, but this definitely does not mean that the Li family has no foundation in Beijing.

It is normal for people to leave for tea in the officialdom, but it also depends on the situation. As the only person in the Wanli Dynasty who was awarded a title, the connections and wealth that Li Chengliang accumulated for the Li family are also not as simple as talking.

Don't say anything else.

Just for the heirs of the Li family, they will be rewarded with corresponding worldly positions, the lowest being a certain person. Although it is not actual power, it still explains the problem.

This is not only because of Li Chengliang, but also because he gave birth to a good son, Li Rusong!

Li Rusong has been brave and good at fighting since he was a child. He studied under the scholar Xu Wei and became famous in the Battle of Ningxia. He later participated in the war to aid Korea against the Japanese and made great military exploits!

It is precisely because of this that even after Li Chengliang and Li Rusong passed away one after another, the Li family was able to establish a firm foothold in Beijing. Even though Li Chengliang's son Li Rubai was defeated in the Battle of Saarhu and fled back to the capital. Although he was impeached, he could not stand until the Apocalypse. In the first year of his life, he couldn't bear the criticism and committed suicide at home.

The most bizarre thing is that not long after the Battle of Saarhu ended, Liaodong was in danger, and the court had no general to send to suppress Liao. Some ministers suggested using Li's old power to send Li Ruzhen as the chief military officer to suppress Liao. But the final result? Jianlu attacked Tieling, but Li Ruzhen supported the troops but failed to support him, causing Tieling to fall. Finally, Li Ruzhen was dismissed from office...

Everything is like a farce.

Everything actually happened.

"what is going on?!"

Gu Bingqian, who took a long time to come to his senses, suppressed the shock and doubt in his heart, looked at the lean middle-aged man and said sternly: "You are so good, the boss of the West Police Factory, why do you want to go to Uncle Ningyuan's Mansion?"

"Back to Yuan Fu, I don't know the specific official."

The lean middle-aged man said anxiously: "I just heard some news, saying that the Gunpowder Department under the Military War Bureau, which had been thoroughly investigated before, had more than 100,000 kilograms of gunpowder, which had been stolen and sold privately. Well, it was this gunpowder smuggling." In the case, some of the people who were arrested confessed several people from the Li family, so..."

God!

Could such a thing happen?

When Gu Bingqian heard this, he sat dumbly on the official hat chair. He never thought that hundreds of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder were stolen and sold in the war bureau under the jurisdiction of the inner court.

This is no small matter.

"So the factory officers from the West Jishi Factory went to Uncle Ningyuan's Mansion in compliance with His Majesty's order?"

"I'm afraid that's the case."

The thin, middle-aged man had sweat breaking out on his forehead.

Without the emperor's permission, how could even the prosperous Xiji Bureau dare to go to Uncle Ningyuan's Mansion to arrest members of the Li family?

Yes.

The current Li family is no longer what it used to be, but those who are officials in Beijing don't know that the Li family still has some influence in Liaodong.

If someone from the Li family is arrested, no one can predict what kind of turmoil it will cause if the news spreads to Liaoqian.

Although Liaodong now is different from when Li Chengliang was in charge, who can guarantee that the old friendship of the Li family is not missed among them?

"It seems that the emperor is angry."

Gu Bingqian muttered to himself at this moment, he could imagine what the emperor's reaction was when he heard the news, especially when the Li family was involved.

It is foreseeable that there will definitely be trouble in the court next.

"You go find out the information now."

Thinking of this, Gu Bingqian stretched out his hand and said to the lean middle-aged man: "Look at the reactions elsewhere, especially those who have friendship with the Li family. You must be careful about this matter so that no one notices it."

"Here!"

The lean, middle-aged man immediately bowed his head.
