"After I read this report, I was very interested in some things, and I asked people to go to Shuntianfu to transfer some case files to check."

The little emperor rarely said anything in the cabinet, and even if he did, it was only the Queen Mother or Zhang Juzheng who asked him to say it, but what he said now was obviously not hinted at or taught.

Even Zhang Juzheng, who had been worried about his father's condition and the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu, couldn't help but look up at Wanli, Wanli's fat face showed a smile, and he still said very gently:

"Dongchang said that Wang Guoguang, your son Wang Tailai, robbed the people's daughters and intended to commit murder, and the Dongchang side fought in order to protect the safety of the good people."

Feng Bao lowered his head, Zhang Juzheng was surprised, Wang Guoguang's body trembled violently, and he didn't know where to throw the words of impeachment and attack behind, but his reaction was also fast, and after being slightly stunned, he slammed his head on the ground, and said eagerly:

"Your Majesty, don't listen to Dongchang's words, dozens of surnames of the minister's family were slaughtered, Dongchang has killed one person, injured one person, this death and injury is huge, Dongchang has slandered the courtiers, Your Majesty is clear, Your Majesty is clear!"

"Your Majesty, Dongchang is mostly cunning villains in the market, such villains like to reverse black and white the most, Lord Wang is known for his Qingwang in Jingshi, how can he do such a joke, Your Majesty is aware of it!"

Wang Guoguang kowtowed and shouted, Wan Shihe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites on the side, also stood up to help, in their eyes, the strange behavior of Emperor Wanli may have been instigated by Feng Bao or Zhang Juzheng, if Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng made a move, the little emperor has never insisted on the ministers, but he can deal with it.

The two Shangshu stood up and insisted on the same point of view, Emperor Wanli would often be shaken, and until now Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao have not made a sound, one is silent, the other is surprised, it seems that the emperor's words may have been passed by others, since there is not a big guy behind it, then there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, it was not the same as before, the two courtiers spoke in unison, and Emperor Wanli would hesitate and stammer, but he continued to say mildly:

"Don't be excited, Lord Wang also sat down, of course the widow will not listen to and believe partially, those slaves in Dongchang are sometimes too bold, so they deliberately went to the case file transferred from Shuntianfu, for more than a year, Wang Tailai has robbed the people's daughters There have been four cases, but they have all been suppressed by Yin Huangsen of Shuntianfu, Wang Tailai also said that although the robbery of the people's girls is done, but the fun is unknown to others, but is there such a thing?"

The room was silent, on the one hand, it was the central head of the Ming Empire, and the cultivation of the city was enough, and it would not be out of shape, on the other hand, the Wanli Emperor today was too different from the past.

The shock and solemnity of the crowd, Wanli Emperor Yanjing saw in his eyes, before this, he could only see the contempt hidden under the awe of the ministers, such a change made him more calm, and continued:

"Wang Aiqing, in the past nine months, four young maidservants in your house have died of violent illness, according to the autopsy, each maid has been whipped and pricked with needles and some torture, but this has also been suppressed by Huang Sen, do you know about this matter?"

Since there have been Jinyiwei and Dongchang, every move of the high-grade officials has been under surveillance, there are newspapers, ten reports and quarterly reports, of course, a few women have died in the Shangshu Mansion's family, and this kind of thing will pass with one eye closed, who cares, but if you really take it out, it will immediately become a crime.

"Wang Tailai practiced evil skills, ruined the women of good families, and killed many people, do you know this matter, Wang Shangshu?"

Emperor Wanli's words became more and more gentle, but Wang Guoguang, the official who had just sat down, could no longer sit still, and knelt directly on the ground, crying and saying:

"Your Majesty, this is all slander by others, it is a trick to destroy people, and the minister really doesn't know ......"

"Jinyiwei and Dongchang have spies in the official mansions above the third grade, and there are secret agents, this is a rule, everyone Aiqing knows it, doesn't Yin Huangsen of Shuntian Mansion claim to be your protégé, why is there such a case file in the hands of Shuntian Mansion!"

Shuntianfu handles cases, and cases involving big people are often suppressed, but they will definitely keep the case file secretly, and when there is a thorough investigation by the officials, they must take out the case file to deal with it, so as not to say that they conceal it and do not report it, and bend the law for bribes.

Emperor Wanli really wants to investigate, the officials below naturally know how to find it, there are no honest and honest officials in the Beijing Division, there are some problems, not to mention Wang Shangshu and so on, Ping Yueli has been impeached many times, appointed private individuals, and collected bribes, and there are too many things found out in a check.

"Kingdom Light! You are a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, and you are the leader of the clear stream, but your own son has done such a beastly act, have the sages you read in the belly of a dog? ”

Emperor Wanli suddenly spoke in a stern tone, Wang Guoguang was weak, and he could only kowtow again and again, and everyone in the room looked at Wanli with surprised eyes.

"The family is not quiet, the heirs are like beasts, what qualifications do you have to be in charge of the ministry, and what qualifications do you have to be the leader of this clear stream!?

Before, he spoke lightly, and then his tone became more and more severe, Wang Guoguang's previous thoughts had long been lost, and the little resistance in his heart was also defeated, and now although he knelt on the ground, his whole body was about to be paralyzed.

Wanli is fourteen years old, but no matter how young the emperor is, he is also an emperor, after these words are said, everything is irreparable, and the next thing to think about is life and death.

Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, coughed lightly, and was about to admonish, but Emperor Wanli's tone at this time was much softer, and he said with a smile:

"Wang Shangshu has also gone through three dynasties, hard work for the king, no merit and hard work, Wang Tailai's affairs are his own affairs, and he will be arrested and questioned by the division, Wang Shangshu is also old, go back to his hometown and study hard!"

The Ministry of Shangshu Wang Guoguang's heart was cold, he was such an only son, and he had always been spoiled, but what Wang Tailai did was not too out of line, and there were many people in the family of the noble officials of Jingshi, but the emperor spoke, I am afraid that this only son will not be able to keep it.

Thinking of this, I really feel sad from my heart, compared to this son, the position of the secretary who has worked hard to get the position of the secretary of the ministry, holding on to hundreds of officials, rewards and punishments, I didn't expect that in an unprepared morning, everything disappeared.

But he is the secretary of the ministry, and he is a candidate who has no opinion on Zhang Ge Lao and Feng Gonggong, the emperor can't remove himself like this, Wang Guoguang was trembling on the ground, looking like the whole person was collapsing, but in fact he was waiting for an opportunity, and someone would definitely help him speak.

After listening to the words of Emperor Wanli about Wang Tailai, he hesitated and sat in his seat and did not move, he was also the leader of the Qingliu and did not have any position to defend such a crime, and even had to speak out to reprimand, but he did not move, Zhang Juzheng, who was sitting at the top, groaned, got up and said:

"Your Majesty, Jiuqing is an important minister of the state, and it is quite appropriate for Lord Wang to be in charge of the ministry, so hasty resignation will inevitably make the affairs of the ministry chaotic, whether to let him temporarily take his place, and then select the candidate, as for this Wang Tailai, maybe he was bewitched by the annihilation and made a big mistake, so let Lord Wang strictly discipline him."

Wang Guoguang finally stopped trembling, most of the time, Zhang Juzheng's words were even better than a sentence of Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli respected his teacher so much, he must have a glimmer of life.

"Elder Zhang Ge, my imperial ancestor killed Yan Shifan, and ordered Yan Song to give office, one is to strictly discipline the national law, and the other is to sympathize with the hard work of the old ministers for the country, my disposal today is to imitate this law, is there anything wrong?"

The ancestor of Wanli is Emperor Jiajing, and Yan Song is the scolding minister of the public, and when he said this, he couldn't refute it, Zhang Juzheng was stunned, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully:

"Thunder and rain and dew are all heaven's grace, and Your Majesty's handling is fair!"

This time, Wang Guoguang directly collapsed on the ground, and the ministers in the room exchanged glances with each other with very slight movements, and they all stood up together, bowed down and praised:

"Your Majesty Shengming!!"

Emperor Wanli's breathing was a little heavy, he looked at the first fear from the bottom of his heart among the ministers, and felt a tremor from the bottom of his heart to the ministers, and an incomparably sweet feeling filled his body, the identity of the emperor made him feel extremely bored, and he felt that everyone regarded him as a child.

But now at this time, he feels the power, the wonderful taste of the peak of power, this is the so-called imperial joy!

Emperor Wanli secretly took a breath and said to Zhang Juzheng, who looked a little ugly:

"Pavilion Elder, Zhang Han, the servant of the ministry, has always been loyal and has some ability, Lord Wang, why don't you make up for the gap by this Zhang Han!"

Who in the Beijing division doesn't know that Zhang Han, the servant of this ministry, made an accident when he was supervising the military affairs of Liangguang, and he lived at home for a few years, because of Zhang Juzheng's recommendation, he was able to achieve his current position.

After Zhang Juzheng heard this appointment, he couldn't help but be stunned, the ugliness on his face quickly subsided, and he replied solemnly:

"What Your Majesty said is very true, the cabinet will push it and ask Your Majesty to give an order!!"

It turned out that this kingdom was pushed by him to the position of the secretary of the ministry, but there were many restrictive moves, and now the replacement, Zhang Han counted his own lineage, which was beneficial and harmless to himself, and the Wanli Emperor did not discuss with himself and removed the secretary of the ministry without authorization, Zhang Juzheng was quite annoyed, but with this appointment, he had nothing to say.

Outside the cabinet building, there stood the little eunuchs who listened to orders, and if they stood a little closer, they could hear everything inside.

It said that when Zhang Han was filling in the vacancy, a little eunuch said to his companion on the side:

"Urgency, find someone to help me work first, and then invite you to eat and drink......"

His companion nodded, and the little eunuch ran out hunched over, and after a few turns, the little eunuch tucked the hem of his robe into his belt and ran wildly in one direction of the palace.
