After the conductor said this, the expressions of several people changed, and even the conductor who was inclined to convict Wang Tong at the beginning showed a thoughtful look on his face.

According to the principle of size and balance of power, these five people are not from a system, and they are supported by such and such big guys behind them, so they are not so clear from each other, and they are just polite on the surface.

However, everyone's power and scenery come from the system of the Jinyi pro-army, and when thinking about doing things, it is natural to take into account how the Jinyi pro-army is internal.

"Dutang, Father-in-law Feng is in charge of the East Factory, Feng Youning is in charge of the East Factory for thousands of households, the scenery is infinite, our sons and daughters have to be careful when they see those people in the East Factory, and they are very aggrieved when they hold their breath, to say a word of conscience, it is that Wang Tong has given us a rise in prestige in the past few years, so that the brothers have straightened their waists in the capital!"

"Lao Qin is reasonable, those civil officials in the court are very thieves, and they don't dare to touch the father-in-law in the palace and the Dongchang side, but they are staring at us hard, and if they find a problem, they will not let go, if this thing goes according to their intentions, won't it destroy our prestige!"

The two commanders are both from generations of nobles, and one of them is said to be the relationship between Li Wei, the Marquis of Wuqing, and he doesn't care so much when he speaks, so the two of them are silent.

The previous servant who echoed Liu Shouyou coughed and said:

"Wang Tong made a lot of trouble, but the sons and daughters below were beaten too badly, with broken hands and feet, what did those Diao people rely on, and they dared to make such a ruthless move, Dutang, if we don't protect it this time, anyone in the world who offends the Jinyi pro-army in the future will find a reason, and at that time"

He hesitated, but the meaning was very clear, and he could see that Liu Shouyou's face had become quite ugly, and the other man had been patting the table with his hand, raised his head and said:

"Feng Youning's person is very domineering, but he has always been very protective of his subordinates, so those fans of Dongchang have always been loyal to their lives, and these of us below have been passed down from generation to generation, and they don't listen to the words above, if we don't care about this matter, who will do errands for us in the future, Dutang, if we protect it this time, those people in the court are not happy, but to explain the truth, they will also listen, but if we don't protect it, I'm afraid we won't be soft in the future!"

Liu Shouyou has been in a dilemma since he saw the case file, he was born in a family, and he also understands these joints, which is why he brought it here to discuss.

Speaking of which, the opinions of several people have been unified, and there is no need to worry about someone pulling back if they treat diplomacy, Jinyi Wei commanded Liu Shouyou to look left and right, and finally nodded, and said solemnly:

"Beating up the official is a big crime, our Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and beating him on the street, this is a big crime of rebellion, but Tianjin Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Tong can't help but do too much publicity, although there is nothing wrong with it, but he can't give him any praise, after the division reprimanded him, let him be cautious in the future."

Several people bowed in unison and said:

"The capital is wise!"

On July 11, the news of the bombardment of Jinhe Warehouse and the beheading of more than 70 people finally spread in Beijing, and Wang Tong's reputation in Beijing had long been completely ruined.

Many people have not seen what the cannon looks like, and the news about Wang Tong is getting more and more outrageous, and in the final version, Wang Tong is a two-foot tall, hard as iron, a demon who swallows flames and smoke, what will be a demon law, there are demon soldiers, and the sky will collapse with a wave of his hand and so on.

After the news spread, the words and officials were clear, and they were about to be criticized intentionally or unintentionally.

On the twelfth day of July, all the important ministers in the Wenyuan Pavilion looked cautious, every time the topic related to this Wang Tong was a headache, the Wanli Emperor did not give an inch, Zhang Ge was already fifty, Wanli was only fifteen this year, and the future was long, so why offend the emperor.

Everyone is carefully observing the expressions of Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, Zhang Siwei and others, and they don't know what these bigwigs are going to do today, anyway, the purlins themselves don't do.

When Emperor Wanli came and bowed, no one expected that the first person to speak was Shen Shixing, a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty, the minister has this Chen Zuo, Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Tong bombarded the shop on the street, beheaded more than 70 people, the world shook, boiling, but no matter whether Jinyi Wei commanded the envoy or the criminal department and the military department, he didn't come up with a way to deal with it, I don't know why?"

Everyone was stunned, and they were all worried about this Shen Shixing, thinking that you are presiding over the wedding of the Son of Heaven, and you have a bright future, why bother to come out like this.

Sure enough, as expected, Emperor Wanli's face immediately turned cold, and at this time, Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, stroked his thick long beard and said indifferently:

"The Tianjin Bingbei Road and the Qing Military Department both said that it was the people of the Jin and the warehouse who were rebellious, beating the official on the street, Wang Qianhu went to punish him, but the people of the warehouse closed the door and resisted, so there is this, Feng Gonggong, the news from the Dongchang is also like this!?"

Feng Bao replied mildly:

"What Elder Zhang Ge said is that Dongchang's report has been handed over to His Majesty for inspection, and the reason for this is also the case."

At this moment, even Wanli Emperor Yanjing was a little surprised, and Zhang Juzheng said indifferently:

"Your Majesty, Liu Shouyou, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, has investigated clearly, among the Tianjin Jinyi Guards, there are four people who are disabled, and several of them have to recuperate for a year.

In the end, the tone was a little harsh, and everyone was even more surprised, but they didn't dare to say more, but Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing echoed in unison.

As soon as they saw this situation, everyone understood that these people had already coordinated, so they all agreed, Emperor Wanli was extremely surprised, and after determining that the wind direction in the court was favorable to Wang Tong, he couldn't help but laugh a little, and then he was tense again, and asked as indifferently as possible:

"I think Wang Tong has done an upright job and should be praised, what does Mr. Zhang think?"

Zhang Juzheng turned to Emperor Wanli and saluted solemnly, and said:

"Your Majesty, although what Wang Qianhu did was right, but in peacetime, he fired guns on the street to kill people, disturbing the Quartet, this move is too Meng Lang, and the cabinet and the Ministry of War will also reprimand it below, what does Your Majesty think?"

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli was immediately discouraged, but the result was much better than he expected, at least Wang Tong was not punished.

At that time, Wang Tong's secret letter came to him, and after reading the letter, although Emperor Wanli was full of blood, he was worried that Wang Tong's actions would not be attacked by the courtiers, and then it would be a lot of trouble.

Not only the little emperor was puzzled, but even the other people in the Wenyuan Pavilion were quite confused, Zhang Juzheng took out a folded book from his sleeve, unfolded it and looked at it a few times, and said solemnly:

"Your Majesty, Wang Tong has killed too many people and hurt Tianhe, but the minister still thinks that his move is legitimate, that is, what he is doing is to maintain the system of the court, His Majesty's face and the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, the Jinyi pro-army guards the pro-soldiers for the Son of Heaven, and is beaten by the chaotic people when he is on an errand, this is an offense to the Son of Heaven, and he should be severely punished."

Everyone became more and more puzzled, thinking that if the wind direction had changed, Wang Tong would not pursue it here, and it would be ridiculous to talk about the legitimate surname he had done.

Zhang Juzheng paused, his body changed his position, became facing Emperor Wanli, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the ministers went to Jiangling from Beijing, and then returned to Beijing from Jiangling, and saw that there were many academies in various prefectures and prefectures along the way, and the literati often gathered in the academies, and there were one or two famous people who gave lectures, accepted apprentices, founded schools, and preached the way of sages and sages, which was a great good thing, but some people took the opportunity to discuss the government and government, criticized the courtiers, and the local officials were dull, and exchanged voices with them, and there were even courtiers who colluded with Qingliu."

The voice became more and more severe, and everyone in the Wenyuan Pavilion was unconsciously awe-inspiring, Zhang Juzheng continued:

"What is the difference between such ignorant scholars criticizing the courtiers, and the chaotic people beating the soldiers of the brocade clothes, they are all things that corrupt the law and rules, if they are left unchecked, it will definitely cause a catastrophe, Your Majesty, such things were neglected in the early stage, the academy has become a climate, if you don't deal with it, there will be disasters in the future, the ministers think that they should be eradicated immediately, please Your Majesty!"

Speaking of this, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder Zhang Ge Lao wanted to speak for Tianjin Jinyiwei just now, it turned out to be to lead to this conversation.

is also to maintain the dignity of the imperial court, then Wang Tong wants to shoot and kill, then how should these academies criticize the government and ruin the face of the court.

Everyone in the Wenyuan Pavilion exchanged glances, and at this time, Shen Shixing, a scholar of the East Pavilion University, took the lead in bowing down and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the academy is the source of the party, eradicate the scourge of party strife, first get rid of the academy, please have a Si Cha [***] Academy, the wind of the corporal forest in the world, please give your Majesty's permission!"

The ministers didn't know what to do at this time, they all bowed down and asked the emperor to play, Wanli then remembered what the Zhengyan Road and Su Shilin's wind mentioned many times in Professor Zhang Juzheng's courses.

Emperor Wanli did not have a good impression of the literati, since the first assistant Zhang Juzheng proposed it, and the ministers agreed, he was happy to push the boat along the river, pretended to think about it, and then said:

"The elder of the cabinet plans for the world, which is worthy of praise, this matter is approved, after the cabinet vote is drafted, it will be handed over to the celebrant for approval."

The ministers praised Shengming again, but at this time, there were also a few people in Wenyuan Pavilion who remembered that it seemed that some time ago, Nanzhili and Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, there were academies who said that "Da Zhang is not as good as Xiao Zhang, Ziwei is the prime minister", and I don't know if it is related.

Zhang Siwei's face was as usual, and he didn't see anything strange.
