Zhu Changluo knew in his heart that behind this Yellow Book case, it was by no means just the handiwork of the Wei State Mansion, no matter how bold he Xu Hongji was, he would not have so blatantly instructed the Nanjing Sixth Department to make such a big move, and this matter must be implicated with the big figures in the court. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But these are not important, since the Wei State Mansion has surfaced, let Xu Hongji be this scapegoat for the time being!

In the next few days, Zhu Changluo waited calmly, waiting for the inventory of the yellow books in various places to be completed.

But as his secret music arrived in Beijing, there was an undercurrent surging in the capital.

"All the gentlemen have seen the prince's recital, let's discuss it!"

In Yude Palace, Zhu Yijun looked a little tired, sitting on the throne, with the secret sent by Zhu Changluo in his hand.

And standing in the hall are several cabinet ministers, including the first assistant Wang Xijue, Wenhua Hall scholar Shen Li, Wuyingdian University scholar Zhu Geng, and Zuodu Yushi Zhenji, surprisingly, among these people, there is also the new Ministry of Rites Shangshu Li Tingji!

Thinking of Zhu Changluo's sharp words, Wang Xijue smiled bitterly, I am afraid that His Royal Highness the wise prince would not have thought that the emperor would treat his secret music as a bright performance, and summoned so many ministers to come to discuss.

Let's ask today's Jinling, whose family is in the world?

This sentence can only be said by Zhu Changluo's identity, even if he is replaced as the first assistant, thinking of this sentence, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks...... Your Highness is exaggerating! ”

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Xijue spoke.

Obviously, Zhu Changluo's recital has some gambling elements in it, if he really confirms his words, it is not just as simple as an officialdom earthquake, it is the result of countless heads falling to the ground.

After a pause, he continued.

"However, the Nanjing Ministry of Officials is moving to mobilize Lu Qingzhi at this moment, which does introduce suspicion! What's more, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bears the imperial order of His Majesty, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Governor Liu is holding the banner of the king's order, but the Nanjing Household Department and the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate refuse to cooperate with them in investigating the case, I am afraid that it is indeed not simple behind this! ”

The face of the imperial court is to be maintained, but in terms of facts, although Zhu Changluo's words are heavier, they are not made out of nothing.

Zhu Changluogui is the prince, and he is ordered by the emperor to patrol Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but now it is too unreasonable to make trouble with the situation that the three major imperial court departments in Nanjing are secretly resisting the prince's edict.

What's more, although Zhu Changluo's note did not go into detail, but the comparison of a few numbers alone is enough to shock, Taixing County, a county, and a county, dare to falsely report more than 6,000 households, so calculated, the entire Yangzhou government conservatively estimates that the false population will be nearly 40,000.

It's time to be heavy-handed!

"Yes, Your Majesty, what Yuan Fu said is very true, the Yellow Book case is very important, and it is also sponsored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, but there is Governor Liu assassinated in the front, and then there are Nanjing departments who refuse to cooperate with the investigation, it can be seen that there must be a huge inside story hidden behind it, the old minister asked for his life, and went to Yangzhou to help His Royal Highness investigate the case thoroughly!"

As soon as Wang Xijue's words fell, Zhen Zhenji took a step forward and said with a solemn face.

Speaking of which, this matter is most closely related to him, the imperial history of the left capital, you must know that the person Zhu Changluo was looking for in this case at the beginning of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, the officials were corrupt, and the department in charge was the imperial history of Kedao.

Although Zhen Zhenji is the imperial history of the left capital of the Jingshi Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Nan Zhili has such a big corruption case, how can he stay out of the matter?

Zhu Geng, who was on the side, frowned slightly and said.

"Don't worry, the situation of this case is not yet clear, don't make judgments, not to mention that now that my imperial court has just returned to the court, it is the time when the whole country is jubilant, if such a big case occurs at this moment, I am afraid it will damage Your Majesty's face, so be cautious!"

After a pause, Zhu Geng glanced at Zhen Zhenji, shook his head and said.

"Besides, even if this case is to be thoroughly investigated, there is no need for the Labor General Constitution to come out in person, and now the Metropolitan Procuratorate still needs the support of the General Constitution, if the General Constitution goes out of Beijing, won't this Metropolitan Procuratorate be leaderless?"

Originally, Zhen Zhenji planned to debate again, but as soon as Zhu Geng's words came out, he was stillborn, his face was ugly, but he didn't say anything more.

Zhu Geng is right, if he wants to make trouble with him, the imperial history of the left capital, he will definitely attract the attention of the court, not to mention that with the fall of Shen Zhengyi, Wen Chun has also been ordered to be a minister, and now in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is indeed inseparable from him.

It is precisely because of this that Zhen Zhenji, who should have been transferred a long time ago, is still staying in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Zhu Ge Lao said is reasonable, all the places of the palace are forged yellow books, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to investigate in person, but was obstructed by the various ministries in Nanjing, this matter spread out, it will definitely cause great damage to the face of the court, not to mention that His Royal Highness the Prince said in the song, this case may be related to the Duke of Wei, the Duke of Wei is the Emperor Taizu himself, and there are Taizu, Chengzu The two first emperors Qin gave Danshu iron coupons, you must not be careless!"

Since Wang Xijue firmly controlled the cabinet by virtue of his dragon skills, the situation of the cabinet has changed, Shen Li began to gradually move closer to Zhu Geng, and after Shen was always deposed, the relationship between the two has almost become an offensive and defensive alliance.

At this moment, Shen Li naturally wanted to speak out in support of Zhu Geng.

It is undeniable that what Shen Li said cannot be said to be unreasonable, and the nobles of the Ming Dynasty have certainly been squeezed to the point where they can almost only eat and wait for death.

But it is not easy to mess with eating and waiting for death, especially the Duke of Wei, the leader of this family of Xun Qi, is not just as simple as eating and waiting for death, the Duke of Wei is a rare Xun Qi who holds a lot of power among the relatives.

In the main hall, Shoufu and Zuodu Yushi advocated strict investigation, but the other two pavilion elders advocated taking it lightly, although the scene was not intense, but it was unexpectedly a little stagnant, everyone's opinions have already been said, and next, it depends on what the emperor means......

On the throne, the emperor glanced at the bottom lightly, unable to see a trace of emotion, and only after a while did he speak.

"What does Li Zhan think?"

Unexpectedly, the emperor did not express his position directly, but instead asked Li Tingji, who had been silent.

What especially made Zhu Geng and Shen Li a little uneasy was that the emperor called Li Zhanshi, not Li Shangshu or Li Aiqing, you must know that Li Tingji's position is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi, according to the rules of officialdom, it should be called his highest position, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu.

And the emperor's current name is obviously implying something.

Li Tingji also didn't expect that the emperor would let him speak, in this hall, his qualifications are really too shallow, these bosses have at least ten years more career qualifications than him, and the reason why he was called over is obviously because this matter involves Zhu Changluo.

As for the specific opinion, even if he said it, I am afraid it will not have any effect, but since the emperor asked, he naturally had his intentions, Li Tingji frowned and thought for a moment, then paused and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that how to deal with this case can wait until His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thoroughly investigates the case before discussing it, but the minister is just worried that since these people dare to assassinate Governor Liu in front of everyone, if they risk the condemnation of the world...... It's not impossible! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers' faces were shocked, and then their faces became solemn.

If the prince can be assassinated in Yangzhou Mansion, then the matter will really make a big fuss!

No matter who is behind this case, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the thunderous wrath of the emperor!

However, the emperor pondered for a moment and said.

"Since it is difficult for you Aiqing to agree on your opinions, then this case will be put on hold for the time being, and the prince will find out the truth before dealing with it! However, what Li Aiqing said is not unreasonable, the prince is the prince of the country, and he must not take risks, and he sent a decree to Chen Liangbi, the garrison of Nanjing, and ordered him to lead the right guard of Fengyang to Yangzhou to assist the prince in investigating the case! In addition, the selection of the country's Quan, with its own customization, rejected the proposal of the Nanjing Ministry to transfer Lu Qingzhi. ”
