Peng Zhu immediately supported loudly, Xue Mi also immediately supported, but Zhang Meng sighed softly, and the emperor immediately noticed, frowned slightly, and asked with some displeasure: "Zhang Qing, what do you think?"

Zhang Meng said calmly: "Sheng Huai must take it, Gu Wei made it very clear in the song, this time the nine million taels of silver is the salt tax income for the next three years, to put it simply, in the next three years, the imperial court will not receive a tael of silver salt tax in Yangzhou, so in the next three years, the imperial court's tax will be a large piece less."

In order to make up for the taxes of the imperial court, he suggested that Yangzhou silk and cotton cloth, as well as iron and other taxes, the emperor, this suggestion is very good.

Sheng Huai has been in Yangzhou for ten years, and he has intertwined with the gate lord clan in Yangzhou, the officials of various counties and counties, and he has dealings with the gate valve forces in Jizhou and Qingzhou. ”

The emperor was slightly stunned, Mu Gonggong was secretly shocked in his heart, and quickly looked up at Zhang Meng, the emperor pondered deeply, and Peng Zhu sneered: "This is handed over to the Yushitai, those guys haven't rushed up to exonerate him!

Xue Yu frowned and thought about it, the evidence provided by Gonggong Mu could not be handed over to Yushitai, once handed over, those courtiers and Shilin would definitely turn their guns and aim at the internal guards.

But can Gu Wei's impeachment alone be moved to Shenghuai? Xue Mi felt that it was unlikely, Sheng Huai was born in the scholar clan, and Gu Wei was born in the Shu clan; although Gu Wei had a high reputation in Shilin, Sheng Huai's influence in the gate valve was greater, and in comparison, Sheng Huai's power was stronger.

"Also," Zhang Meng pondered, and said: "Your Majesty, the candidate for Jing Zhaoyin will not be announced for the time being, and let the official Cao recommend the candidate." ”

Gonggong Mu frowned slightly, a little confused, what does this Zhang Meng mean, Luo Wu is actually a good candidate, but let the official Cao recommend the candidate, I am afraid that this position will not fall on Luo Wu.

Zhang Meng: What is this going to do!!

Gonggong Mu was puzzled, and the emperor was also a little confused, he snorted and looked at the information on the bookcase, very unwilling.

"Jing Luo is too careful!" Peng Zhu shook his head and said: "The emperor is a cadre, if it is handed over to the officials Cao and Yushitai, it can be concluded that it will be another chaos, which will inevitably affect the war in Liangzhou and Saiwai." ”

Without waiting for Zhang Meng to speak, the emperor nodded: "Peng Qing is right, the political situation should be stable at this time, that's it, Xue Mi, draft the will!"

Xue Mi didn't speak, and immediately drafted the holy decree, Zhang Meng just sighed softly, Gonggong Mu frowned slightly, and cautiously tentatively said: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that what Mr. Zhang said is very appropriate, even if it is handed over to Shang Shutai for discussion, it is nothing, and it will not affect Liangzhou and Saiwai." ”

Zhang Meng nodded at Gonggong Mu, and Peng Zhu was about to refute, when the emperor shouted unhappily: "I have made up my mind! That's it, you go down first, sort out Sheng Huai's incriminating evidence, and at the same time, the internal guards also make some preparations!"

The emperor's words were not heavy, but a layer of fine sweat appeared on Gonggong Mu's forehead, and he hurriedly received the decree and bowed down.

Out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Gonggong Mu sighed, Gonggong Huang carefully supported him, and comforted him in a low voice: "Godfather, it's okay, the emperor is just a little upset recently." ”

Grandpa Mu shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Old! old!"

Gonggong Huang is still very careful: "Godfather, son, the emperor is different from the first emperor, after all, the emperor is young and vigorous, and he is more fierce." ”

Father-in-law Mu didn't answer, his eyes were cloudy and he looked at the magnificent palace complex, and under the autumn sun, the palace exuded a golden light.

The holy decree was sent to Shangshutai, Pan linked the holy decree, his brows were twisted, because the war was tight, Pan Ji and Qiuyun Cao Huang were both in Shangshutai and did not leave immediately.

There were two holy decrees, the first was to appoint Luo Wu as Jing Zhaoyin, and the second was to send Yangzhou Assassin Shi Sheng Huai to the imperial capital and hand it over to the Imperial Governor's Mansion for trial.

Two holy decrees, two pieces of light and fluttering paper, but Pan Lian felt extremely heavy.

"No, let's discuss, why did you make an order so quickly!" Zuo Chen was a little dissatisfied, and said with a scowl face: "No, this order can't be covered!"

If the emperor's decree does not have a seal attached to the edict, it is not considered a holy decree, but it is a seal; once the seal occurs, it will be a major event that shakes the government and the opposition!!

Pan Lian smiled bitterly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

Gan Tang had just been reprimanded by the emperor and did not speak, Qiu Yun frowned slightly: "The emperor just asked us to discuss the candidate for Jing Zhaoyin, so this is the candidate, what does the emperor mean?"

"Luowu?" Gan Tang sighed: "He has been studying in Taixue, and he has only been transferred to Yushitai for more than a month, so he is worried, and he has no experience in shepherding the side at all. ”

Saying that, Gan Tang shook his head, obviously disagreeing, Zuo Chen also nodded: "Yes, it is not appropriate to fall into the martial arts, let the official Cao reformulate the candidate." ”

"I'm afraid it's too late for the official Cao to redraft the candidates," Pan Lian thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of the former Bohai County Shousun Guan?"

Qiu Yun scolded in his heart, others didn't know, he happened to know that Sun Guan gave Pan Lian a generous gift some time ago, it was said that there were as many as 100,000 taels of silver, thinking of this, he suddenly thought of it, and his brows couldn't help but twist into a ball.

Pan Ji lowered his head and thought about it: "Luowu is still suitable, Jing Zhaoyin's candidate needs to be upright, and Chen Xuan is actually the right person." ”

"I see," Cao Huang suddenly said: "Chen Xuan has been on Jingzhaoyin for too long, offended too many people, and under the transfer, the emperor has the intention of preserving, however, I don't think it's appropriate to be transferred to Jizhou, he is a southerner, my opinion is to be transferred to Yangzhou as the assassin, Sun Guan is transferred to Jizhou as the assassin, Jing Zhaoyin, my opinion is to let Zhou Mao, the right of the imperial history, be appointed as Jingzhaoyin." ”

Cao Huang was the former general of the chariot cavalry, when Emperor Taiding, he first assisted Emperor Taiding to counterattack Xianbei, but more than ten years ago, he suddenly became a scholar and cultivated in the manor in the west of the imperial capital, until some time ago, the new monarch was reactivated, but he did not give him an official name, just let him enter Shangshutai to assist in dealing with court affairs.

Cao Huang has a very high prestige in the army, even the prestige Qiuyun is under him, Qiuyun did not lead the army back then, Fang Hui Duan Chang is only a rising star in the army, he is already in the center, responsible for the overall situation, and comprehensively command the war against Xianbei.

Re-entering the court, Cao Huang did not have the slightest strangeness, nor did he shy away from it, his words not only rejected the holy decree just sent, but also opposed the decision that the emperor had made just now.

Qiuyun frowned slightly, Shang Shutai is not an administrative body, but a decision-making body, specifically responsible for the implementation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Liu Cao also works under the leadership of the Prime Minister's Mansion, specifically, Shang Shutai is the emperor's senior staff officer, specifically he Qiu Yun and Cao Huang should be the emperor's military staff.

As a military staff officer, Qiu Yun rarely gave opinions on specific government affairs, let alone personnel arrangements, he thought that Cao Huang was the same, but he didn't expect that Cao Huang was unusual, which made him a little puzzled.

"Zhou Mao?" Qiu Yun hadn't opened his mouth yet, Pan Lian had already shook his head calmly: "He is not suitable, the Imperial Historian Ling Mi is already old, and after Zuo Ling Cheng Wei Dian Zhishi, he has been vacant, he is going to leave again, this Imperial History Terrace is not empty." ”

"Just arrange the Imperial History Zuo Lingcheng together," Zuo Chen said: "Let Luowu take over as the Imperial History Zuo Lingcheng, Jing Zhaoyin, and let the official Cao recommend." ”

Pan Lian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then it's okay to do it like this, in addition, how to deal with Sheng Huai's affairs?"

"Gu Wei used to be your long history, he impeached Sheng Huai, what is your opinion?" Cao Huang asked Pan Lian directly.

In Shangshutai, Cao Huang's qualifications are probably deeper than Pan Lian's, and when he opened his mouth, no one else interjected, just looked at Pan Lian.

Pan Lian frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "General Cao, Gu Wei impeached Sheng Huai, I didn't know anything in advance, although he used to be my long history, but now he is the deputy Qincha sent by the imperial court to Yangzhou to preside over the salt government reform!"

Cao Huang sneered: "I think this Gu Wei is an arrogant person, I don't know how thick the sky is, at this time, provoking a big case will seriously affect the war in Liangzhou!"

Pan Lian said lightly: "General Cao, how does the matter in Yangzhou affect Liangzhou and Saiwai, besides, if Sheng Huaizhen commits such a crime and digs up this tumor, wouldn't it be better for the war in Liangzhou and Saiwai; if not, he can also return his innocence." ”

"The crux of the matter is that Yangzhou is a place of finance and taxation, and if it falls, it will inevitably shake the officialdom of Yangzhou, and all counties and counties, officials will inevitably be affected.

"Before the war outside the Cyprus is settled, Yangzhou can't be chaotic, Gu Wei is too hasty!"

Cao Huang's accusation, Qiuyun thought there was some truth, Yangzhou is the three major financial and tax places, if Yangzhou is chaotic, logistics and food can't keep up, Liangzhou and Saiwai will not fight.

"No matter what happens to Sheng Huai, it's better not to move for the time being. Qiu Yun also said in agreement.

"General Cao, General Qiu, wrong!" Zuo Chen Zhengse shook his head: "If Sheng Huai is really like this, he should resolutely investigate, and in the future, Yangzhou will provide more support, and Sheng Huai will have a dry moth in it, and it will really affect the war in Liangzhou and Saiwai." ”

Pan Ji immediately expressed his support: "Yes, Lord Zuo understands that the emperor has decided to take Sheng Huai, which means that the emperor has the evidence of Sheng Huai's corruption. ”

Everyone didn't expect that Pan Ji actually supported Gu Wei in this matter, and Pan Lian's implicit attitude just now was against the arrest of Sheng Huai, but Pan Ji actually sang against his brother.

Pan Lian's face was ugly, and he glared at Pan Ji fiercely, Pan Ji lowered his head indifferently, as if he didn't feel Pan Lian's dissatisfaction at all.

"Lord Qiu, Lord Gan, what are your opinions?" Pan Lian turned his head and asked Qiu Yun and Gan Tang.

Gan Tang thought for a while: "That's it, Jing Zhaoyin, we have already rejected the emperor's opinion, this Sheng Huai is against it again, the emperor that..."

Qiu Yun's brows were twisted, and he always felt that something was wrong with it, but he didn't understand it for a long time, so he nodded vaguely: "I agree with Lord Gan's opinion." ”

"I should not move Sheng Huai for the time being, Sheng Huai moves, it is bound to set off a big case that shocks the government and the opposition, now the biggest worry of the imperial court is in Liangzhou, outside the Saiwai, first pacify Liangzhou and Saiwai, and then move Sheng Huai. Pan Lian said.

"Shang Shuling's words are wrong," Pan Ji openly objected, and said unceremoniously: "I support Lord Gan." ”

"You!" Pan Lian was furious and shouted at Pan Lian: "Sheng Huai has been in Yangzhou for nearly ten years, and he has worked hard for the imperial court without merit, so simply by virtue of an impeachment, he won the important ministers of the imperial court, which is too rash!"

As he spoke, he looked up at Gan Tang, then at Qiuyun, and said resolutely: "If the emperor has the evidence of Sheng Huai's crime, it should be publicized to the public, and the ministers will have nothing to say!"

Pan Ji snorted, and was about to refute, but Cao Huang had already nodded: "What Lord Shang Shuling said is that to arrest important ministers of the imperial court, there should be convincing evidence, and if the emperor has it, he should announce it to show people to convince the world!"

Seeing this, Pan Ji didn't speak anymore, Gan Tang sighed softly, Zuo Chen was silent for a while, and nodded: "This is very true, if the emperor has evidence,..." Zuo Chen frowned and asked: "Where did the emperor's evidence come from?

Everyone knows it.

So, everyone no longer objected, and Pan Lian drafted a note and handed it to Xiao Huangmen.

The Emperor is furious!
