PS: It's almost clear, I have to save some manuscripts, and 3,000 words a day can barely be maintained, please forgive me......

Zhengde asked the cabinet for three days off for the autumn hunt, and the next morning Duan Fei came to the leopard room with Li Fuda, who was 'covered in bruises' and his confession, Zhengde was still lying high, yawning to meet Duan Fei, Duan Fei told him about the interrogation of Li Fuda, and presented a lot of confessions and other evidence, Zhengde only cared about the answer, not the process, he asked: "Li Fuda confessed to colluding with Zhang Rui to conspire against him?" ”

Duan Fei replied: "Your Majesty, Li Fuda has already confessed. ”

Zhengde said: "Take the confession to the East Factory and hand it over to Li Hua, let him confess to Zhang Rui, this case must be investigated, and no one will want to hide it from me!" ”

Duan Fei's heart was dark, it seemed that Zhang Rui still had someone around Zhengde to help him speak, I don't know what Li Hua's ability is, whether he can completely dig these people out of Zhengde's side.

Duan Fei agreed, and then asked Zhengde what to do with Li Fuda, Zhengde thought for a while and asked, "How does Aiqing plan to deal with him?" Will killing it now affect Aiqing's arrangement in Shanxi? ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, if you kill Li Fuda publicly, the news cannot be blocked, and it will definitely have a certain impact in Shanxi, and Weichen suggests that Li Fuda be executed in secret." ”

Zhengde snorted and asked again: "Duan Aiqing, Li Fuda confessed that he trained 150,000 Maitreya Sect dead soldiers in Taiyuan Weizhong, is there so many?" How did you arrange for the eradication of these thieves? ”

Duan Fei replied: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao is still known as a million army in the Battle of Chibi, Li Fuda's words also have a lot of water, according to Weichen's speculation, there are only 50,000 people who really have combat effectiveness, and the rest of the 30,000 or 40,000 are old and weak women and children, and they can't be counted as soldiers at all, the emperor, Maitreya disciples are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, they are just bewitched by Maitreya Sect, the emperor doesn't plan to kill them all, right?" Weichen has a careful plan to turn these 50,000 soldiers into elite soldiers of the imperial court, isn't the little prince of Tatar ready to move? If he dares to attack the border in the south, these 50,000 Maitreya disciples will become a strange army that is enough to sink him in the sand, and the emperor, Weichen's plan is like this......"

Zhengde frowned and listened to Duan Fei's plan, he thought about it for a while, but still shook his head and said: "Although this plan is ingenious, but Aiqing can't go to preside over it in person, I really don't worry, are the disciples of the Maitreya Sect so easy to confuse and manipulate?" If it is not handled properly, these 50,000 elite soldiers who can destroy Ah Zhi will become a nightmare for the Ming Dynasty. ”

Duan Fei was stunned when he heard the words 'Aiqing can't go to preside over in person', and when Zhengde finished speaking, Duan Fei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as long as the emperor can use the micro-ministers, the micro-ministers will never give up." ”

Zhengde shook his head and said: "Forget it, Aiqing has just returned to Beijing, I can't bear to let you travel a long way to Shanxi, I have millions of male soldiers in hand, and he doesn't have many soldiers in these Maitreya Sects, even if he can use them, he is panicked in his heart, so he simply scattered them and arranged them to various guards to replenish those soldiers who were paid empty salaries." ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, these people are easy to control when they are gathered together, if they are scattered, it will be like dispersing the fire throughout the country, and it will be troublesome if it blooms everywhere!" ”

Zhengde frowned, he knew that what Duan Fei said was reasonable, but he was a little worried that Duan Fei would be in trouble after holding the military power, and Zhang Rui's words still had a shadow in his heart.

Just when Duan Fei's persuasion failed, and Zhengde hesitated, someone suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Gonggong Li of Dongchang said that there is something important to report." ”

Zhengde's spirits perked up and said, "Pass Li Hua in!" ”

Li Hua came in with a smile, and when he saw Duan Fei also there, he raised his eyebrows and bowed to Zhengde: "Slave knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor." ”

Zhengde asked, "Li Hua, how did you investigate Zhang Rui's case?" ”

Li Hua replied: "Your Majesty, the slave was ordered to copy Zhang Rui's house yesterday, and the gold, silver and jewelry seized were roughly estimated at more than 2.3 million taels, and there were many rare treasures that were difficult to estimate, and the slave seized ten books of accounts in the homes of Zhang Rui and his fellow party Kou Ang, two of which were particularly strange, the slaves interrogated Zhang Rui, Kou Ang and others overnight, and after continuous interrogation and deduction, they finally figured out the two account books which were decrypted and sorted out by the ministers, one of which recorded the details of Zhang Rui's acceptance of bribes and blackmailing officials, The other book records the many sins committed by Zhang Rui in collusion with the Maitreya Sect, the White Lotus Sect and other cults, as well as the Jianghu Xiaoxiao and other generations......"

Zhengde raised his eyebrows and said, "Present the four account books!" ”

Li Hua respectfully presented the four ledgers to Zhengde, who quickly skipped the one that recorded corruption and bribery and carefully looked at the other one.

That book is naturally a record of how Zhang Rui colluded with the White Lotus Sect to collude with the Maitreya Sect to plot misdeeds, most of the content in it is well documented, as the saying goes, a hair moves the whole body, Zhang Rui is a chief eunuch above 10,000 people under one person, his hair is like a cow's hair, he doesn't know many things at all, but in fact, it has a very close relationship with the White Lotus Sect or the Maitreya Sect, when no one is held accountable, it is naturally fine, once it is investigated, it will all shake out, What's more, there are Guan Xiaohan and Li Fuda, two people who are familiar with the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect, desperately pouring dirty water on Zhang Rui?

The more Zhengde looked at it, the darker his face became, and when he saw Zhang Rui 'framing' Liu Jin and sending someone to secretly plant the fan with a sharp blade when Liu Jin's house was raided, Zhengde was furious and said: "What a Zhang Rui, he actually did so many evil things without me!" ”

Zhengde continued to look down and found that the assassin Meow was sent by Zhang Rui to pretend to assassinate Zhengde, but in fact it was to frame Jiang Bin and Qian Ning, and saw that Zhang Rui had secretly drugged Zhengde since more than ten years ago, causing him to have a strong libido and mess around, but he was never able to find an heir.

Zhengde's hands trembled, he was finally enraged, and his eyes burst into flames and shouted: "Damn Zhang Rui, you dare to do a thing to me in front of me and behind my back...... Li Hua, have the things recorded in these ledgers been confirmed? ”

Li Hua said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Rui is not going to die, but the slave took out some news from Kou Ang's mouth, and surrounded Dong'an Street in the south of the city early this morning, seized a secret branch of the White Lotus Sect, and captured eight disciples of the White Lotus Sect, among which there is a person named Xu Lichen, who often has secret contact with Zhang Rui, although these people are hard-mouthed, but the slaves have found a lot of evidence related to Zhang Rui from the White Lotus Sect branch, and Xu Lichen has also found several pieces of Dongchang waist cards personally issued by Zhang Rui when he was in charge of the East Factory, and the waist cards and various evidence slaves have also brought, Please take a look at the emperor. ”

Zhengde only glanced at it and said with a dark face: "What a Zhang Rui, I trust him so much, and I will send a decree to push Zhang Rui out of the noon gate at noon!" ”

"Slaves obey!" Li Hua went to do things happily, Zhengde looked at the pile of evidence in front of him, couldn't help but be angry, and shouted: "Come on, take these things and burn them!" ”

Duan Fei reminded: "Your Majesty, these are all evidence, and they may have to be verified in the future, so they can't be burned." ”

Zhengde glanced at him and said, "Zhang Rui colluded with the cult to plot rebellion, the evidence is conclusive, what else is necessary to verify?" Burned, burned, I don't want to see them again! ”

Duan Fei didn't dare to say it again, in fact, after these things were burned, it would only be good for him, seeing that the big thing had been decided, Duan Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Zhang Rui, an old immortal, was finally finished this time.

Zhengde Wu was angry, I don't know if he was angry because he killed Liu Jin in a fit of anger back then, or because Zhang Rui was angry about plotting against him, Duan Fei persuaded: "Your Majesty, please calm your anger, take care of the dragon's body." ”

Zhengde was worried that he had been poisoned for a long time, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to have an heir, which was also the reason why he was in a hurry to burn those account books, he was upset, Duan Fei's words he couldn't listen to, waved his hand, Zhengde said: "Duan Aiqing go back first, I will think about the matter of Maitreya before making a decision." ”

Duan Fei sighed secretly, it seems that Zhengde's heart is not resolved, he can't play with the idea of mastering the 100,000 Maitreya disciples, Zhengde may stubbornly send those tens of thousands of people to distant places to reclaim the wasteland, maybe he will send someone else to carry out Duan Fei's reception plan, all of this should have nothing to do with Duan Fei.

Duan Fei thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, is Li Fuda temporarily locked up in the edict now...... Slaughtered him quietly? Wei Chen felt that it was better not to disclose his news. ”

Zhengde said: "Leave Li Fuda behind, I will have to interrogate myself later, Aiqing can leave first." ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, Li Fuda has now had a nervous breakdown, like an idiot, and can't ask anything......

Zhengde wondered: "How can this be? Li Fuda is a felon, who made him stupid? ”

Duan Fei cautiously replied, "Your Majesty, the mouths of the Maitreya disciples are very stiff, let alone the master of the First Sect?" Wechen couldn't get Li Fuda to open his mouth after exhausting his punishment, so Wechen had to use the last resort to defeat his mental defense in one fell swoop and obtain a lot of information and confessions, but at the same time, Li Fuda's spirit also collapsed. ”

Zhengde stared at Duan Fei for a while, and said, "Okay, you can go, just execute Li Fuda secretly according to your wishes, and you don't need to reciprocate." ”

Duan Fei lamented that people were not as good as returning to Jinyiwei, and before his ass could sit firmly, Jiang Hui broke in in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "My lord, it's not good, Datong mutiny, Datong Governor Zhang Wenjin, and General Jia Jian were killed on the spot, and the emergency documents for eight hundred miles at the border must have been sent to the leopard room!" ”

Duan Fei was taken aback, he shouted: "Come on, prepare the horse, this official must go to see the emperor immediately!" ”

This time, the news of Jinyiwei almost caught up with the urgent envoy of eight hundred miles, and when Duan Fei returned to the leopard room again, Zhengde had just received the news of the mutiny.

Zhengde was stunned for a moment and reacted quickly, he ordered to summon hundreds of civil and military officials to go to the Jinluan Palace to discuss state affairs, and was about to change his clothes and enter the palace, when he suddenly heard a rumor that Duan Fei was coming, Zhengde hesitated for a moment, and ordered: "Recruit him in." ”

Duan Fei said after paying homage: "Your Majesty, Weichen received the news of Jinyiwei, I heard that there was a riot in Datong Guard, Weichen hurried over, the emperor must have known, I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with it?" ”
