Wei Zhongxian suddenly understood something?

And the Emperor of the Apocalypse said at this time: "Has Zhang Qing arrived?" ”

The East Factory is the fastest to get the news.

This is because the eunuch guarding the town of Nanjing quickly sent a message with a fast horse.

What made Wei Zhongxian feel strange was that the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not immediately summon the cabinet scholars to meet him in the first place.

After all, such a big matter, it was the official Shangshu who was killed, and at the same time he was also a Qincha, and this matter will inevitably shake the government and the opposition! The cabinet is the chief assistant, and it is natural for the emperor to consult with the cabinet.

But the Emperor of the Apocalypse reacted very strangely, and directly summoned Zhang Jingyi, while the others ignored it.

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to ask more, so he said, "The slave and maid will urge again." ”

But at this moment, a eunuch said: "His Royal Highness the King of Liaodong County asks to see him." ”

"Xuan."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse sat down, waited for Zhang Jing to come in, and saluted, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Don't be polite, give me a seat." ”

Zhang Jingyi sat down.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "News...... The eunuch who passed the edict has already told you, right? ”

"Yes."

"How do you feel?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was extremely calm, and he didn't even get angry.

Zhang Jing was quite calm, but he still said: "The minister is shocked. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded: "At the beginning, I was also shocked, these people have been emboldened to this point, they ...... It's stupid. ”

Wei Zhongxian interjected on the side: "Yes, it is indeed stupid......

Zhang Jingyi shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't think so. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi strangely: "Why did Zhang Qing say this?" ”

Zhang Jingyi said directly: "The minister thinks that this hand is very clever!" ”

Wei Zhongxian was a little embarrassed, this guy ...... Don't turn a little bit when you speak, isn't this a clear slap in the face?

The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked curiously, "Why?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty sent the Ministry of Shangshu to supervise Jiangnan, and the intention is already very obvious, which is clearly to thoroughly investigate the case of collusion with Li Guo." And this time...... So what will the man behind the scenes do? ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he was thoughtful.

Zhang Jingyi continued: "Sooner or later...... The imperial court is going to find out, after all...... Even if Zhou Butang can't find out, His Majesty will definitely not give up, and will continue to send Qincha, can the person who colluded with Li Guo really escape? ”

"There are so many of them, colluding with each other, and the Jiangnan Jingwu involved in this case is only afraid of hundreds of people, and these people, some are masterminds, some are just accomplices, and some are just vassals. For the people behind the scenes, since the horizontal and vertical have to be found out, it is better to simply ...... The net of the dead fish is broken. ”

"But it's not easy to break the net! After all, on weekdays, although they share wealth together, when the catastrophe is really coming, who can guarantee that the civil and military officials who colluded with him will have the same heart as him? This is the so-called principle of the tree falling and scattering. But as soon as these people killed Zhou Butang, things were completely different. Zhou Butang died, and as a messenger, he died in the city of Nanjing in full view of everyone. Now, this matter has changed from colluding with scholars and corrupting the law to plotting rebellion. For such a big crime, is there a way out for his henchmen? ”

Zhang Jing paused for a moment, and then said: "Therefore, by this time, all of them understand that there is no possibility of luck now. They didn't have any choice but to go all the way to the dark with the person behind the scenes. Your Majesty is in Liaodong, and there are cases such as thorough investigation of profiteers, which have proved the severity of Your Majesty, who dares to be lucky? ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he suddenly realized.

It turns out that this is what is at stake.

To put it bluntly, this is a matter of nature, Zhou Yingqiu is going to investigate greedy reading, the crime of greedy reading can be big or small, this is a nest case, involving a lot of people, and the impact is also wide, but after all, ...... In any case, there is a mastermind and an accomplice, and the mastermind must be dead, so what about the other accomplices? They may have other thoughts, after all, not everyone is willing to die with you, and no one can guarantee that no one will run to Zhou Yingqiu to confess their guilt, and then expose others to come out.

If Zhou Yingqiu adopts the means of division, and then uses his identity as a secretary of the ministry and the background of the imperial court, this case will ...... Maybe there will be a huge gain.

But with such an assassination, the situation was directly reversed.

After this incident, the imperial court will inevitably characterize it, this group of people is artificially plotting rebellion, the mastermind is the anti-thief, isn't the co-accomplice the anti-thief?

Even if at this time, the court issued an order to ask only the main culprit, and the rest was not concerned, the question was ...... Can these people believe it?

This is a great crime of extermination.

At this time, there was no way except to go to the black, directly tie up with the mastermind, and everyone work against the court together.

So...... This assassination of Qin Cha may seem stupid and bold in the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and it has reached the point of madness.

But for the mastermind, it is a huge benefit, and the direct passivity becomes the initiative.

Hundreds of civil and military officials, coupled with their intricate local relations, only God knows how many prefectures and counties they have mastered, and how many guards they have mastered.

These people are bound to die in the net, and they simply start to judge directly.

If the entire Jiangnan is controlled, the imperial court will investigate thoroughly, then it can only rebel, and the imperial court will lose the entire Jiangnan.

If the court chooses to swallow its anger and decides to pretend to be confused for the sake of the overall situation, then they will land safely, which could not be better.

Zhang Jingyi continued: "Your Majesty, the current situation is that the entire Jiangnan has almost been twisted into a rope, which is exactly what some people want. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed his head: "Listening to you say this, these people are not stupid, but they are scheming, and they should not be underestimated. ”

Zhang Jingyi said solemnly: "It really can't be underestimated, after all, when Zhou Butang went down to the south of the Yangtze River, they were the ones who made trouble." And now, it is the imperial court that is in trouble. ”

"yes." The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, frowned, and said: "The one who made the trouble has become the imperial court, continue to investigate thoroughly, and send a messenger, who would dare to go?" If something is really found out and Jiangnan rebels immediately, then the world will be a mess. ”

"But if the court does not investigate thoroughly, pretends to be deaf and dumb, and does not investigate and deal with such rebellion, the prestige of the court will naturally disappear, and they will become even worse. From then on, I will still fall apart. ”

Zhang Jingyi agreed: "Yes, the tricky thing about this problem is that these hundreds of people have been tied together, secondly, they control countless states and counties and soldiers and horses in Jiangnan, and secondly, I am afraid that they have also controlled public opinion in Jiangnan." ”

"The minister said politely, Your Majesty and the minister...... I'm afraid that in their minds, it's just Emperor Yang of Sui. Again...... They were able to spend seven million taels of silver to buy Li Guo at will, which shows that their money and food are also abundant, they have money, people, soldiers, and they have won the hearts of the people......"

Emperor Apocalypse's face became more and more solemn, he stood up, paced a few steps, and said, "What does the Qing family think, what should be done?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "The safest way is to let the Criminal Department Shangshu investigate this matter." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "This is the safest way?" ”

"Yes." Zhang Jing said: "If the criminal department Shangshu comes to investigate, I am afraid that I will only find half of the investigation, and I will not dare to continue the investigation if I notice that the water is too deep, and in the end I may have to divide the body of the assassin into five horses, indicating that this is just the behavior of the assassin alone, and it has nothing to do with other people." So...... This matter can be regarded as stable. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse snorted a nasal voice from his nose, his lips pursed into a line, and his gaze became sharper and sharper.

After a pause, he said, "What about the unsafe method?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "The unsafe method may be that there is a beacon fire in the south of the Yangtze River, several provinces are in chaos, and countless soldiers and civilians in the south of the Yangtze River are in misery." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse gasped and frowned, "Is there a way to compromise?" ”

"There's one." Zhang Jing raised his head, but he looked deeply at the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse also stared straight at him and said, "Let's hear it." ”

…………

Not only the eunuchs guarding Nanjing, but also the Shangshu of Nanjing's Criminal Department also sent people to play on flying horses.

Soshu was sent to the Cabinet.

The three cabinet scholars were so shocked that they were speechless.

Huang Liji was even more like a man's back, silently said for a while, he threw the song on the case fiercely, and couldn't help but scold angrily: "This is a rebellion, this is a rebellion!" What is called a rebel Zhang Qingxiang assassinated the official department Shangshu and found a dagger...... How did a mere chaotic person get past the heavy guards and get close to Zhou Butang? ”

"Where did this dagger come from? Where did the poison on the dagger come from? It's all vague. Chincha arrives in Nanjing...... Why did this chaotic civil get the news first......"

The other two scholars also looked at Song Shu for a long time, and their faces were extremely ugly.

Sun Chengzong took a deep breath and only said, "Jiangnan is finished." ”

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh.

Oh, yes.

Isn't this Jiangnan over?

If the court investigates, it will inevitably rebel, and since people dare to kill Qincha, then they will definitely dare to rebel.

But the court doesn't pursue it, and Jiangnan is finished, because even Qincha can be killed, so is this Jiangnan still not the Jiangnan of the Ming Dynasty?

"Quick, send someone to see Your Majesty, and say that I will see you immediately."

There was already a cabinet of people who left in a hurry.

The three cabinet scholars put their hands behind their backs, anxious as ants on a hot pot.

If such a big thing happens, of course, you must discuss it with Your Majesty immediately.

It's a pity......

The cabinet member quickly went and returned, and said, "Your Majesty said, there is something to do today, and I don't see you." ”

Huang Liji immediately became angry, and said angrily: "This is because Your Majesty doesn't know yet, something big has happened, you can talk about it again...... Let's just say that there is a big ......"

The cabinet said: "Your Majesty said that he knows the matter. ”

"What?"
