After the official finished speaking, many officials in the duty room reacted belatedly.
"That's right, everyone in the entire Inspectorate knows that on weekdays, the person that Sir values the most is Hai Rui!"
"Now that Hai Rui is being impeached, Your Majesty must be quite angry about this. Why not take this opportunity to stand on the same front as Your Majesty and take the opportunity to build a wave of goodwill?"
"This way, it will be easier to get promoted in the future!"
"What's more, Hai Rui's future is immeasurable. Isn't this a good thing?"
Thinking of this, many officials in the duty room looked at the official who had the courage to propose to Zhao Zhenji with admiring eyes.
After listening to the official's proposal, Zhao Zhenji was silent for a long time, then nodded and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Okay, let's do it like this. Now you should immediately compile the list of officials who impeached Hai Rui for me. I will personally go and ask for an explanation!"
After Zhao Zhenji finished speaking, many officials in the duty room responded with indignation.
"Yes, sir!"
After doing this, Zhao Zhenji turned his attention to the official who had the courage to propose to Zhao Zhenji and asked.
"May I have your name?"
When the official heard what Zhao Zhenji said, he was shocked and happy, trembling all over, and answered Zhao Zhenji's question.
"My lord, my subordinate's name is Yang Sheng!"
Hearing this, Zhao Zhenji did not make any comment, but just nodded in a subtle way.
Although Zhao Zhenji did not say it explicitly, many officials in the duty room knew very well that this Yang Sheng had left his name with Zhao Zhenji, and his position would be able to move up no matter what.
Thinking of this, while those officials were envious, they also worked harder with their hands!
Not long after, with the concerted efforts of many officials in the duty room of the Supervisory Council, a list of officials who had been impeached by Shangshu was quickly compiled.
After Zhao Zhenji took the list from his subordinates, he glanced briefly and then looked back.
Because there are no difficult characters on the list.
After that, Zhao Zhenji did not stay in the duty room for too long, but took the list and went straight to the cabinet.
…
Since Yan Song and Xu Jie were off today, only Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, and Yan Shifan were left in the cabinet.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that since Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng left in Prince Yu's Mansion last time because they could not accept Xu Jie's behavior, their relationship with Yan Shifan has also improved a lot since then.
Although they still regard each other as insects, at least they can occasionally talk to each other in their spare time.
At this moment, everyone in the cabinet was dealing with the memorial at hand.
Although Yan Song and Xu Jie had a day off today, they still had a lot of matters to deal with. At this moment, the subordinate officials were constantly placing memorials that were as tall as one person and placed them on the desk in front of the three of them.
Looking at the pile of memorials in front of him, Gao Gong's face was filled with embarrassment. He put aside the completed impeachment memorials in his hand, and then spoke to himself.
"Oh, there are still so many. I really don't know when we will be able to finish them!"
After Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng on the side also sighed with emotion.
"Yeah, I don't know how it happened. There are more and more things that need to be dealt with recently!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Shifan put down the brush in his hand, moved his wrist, and then echoed.
"At the current rate, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it after dark!"
At this moment, a subordinate official hurriedly walked in, turned his gaze to Gao Gong, and reported respectfully.
"Mr. Gao Ge, Zhao Zhenji from the Inspectorate is waiting outside, saying he has something important to report!"
After listening to the subordinate's report, a look of hesitation suddenly appeared on Gao Gong's face. He quickly swept his eyes from Zhang Juzheng and Yan Shifan on the side and said to himself.
"What do you think Zhao Zhenji did when he suddenly came to the cabinet? Is it possible that another important official of the court was impeached?"
After Gao Gong finished speaking, Yan Shifan on the side nodded, as if he had expected it, and then spoke.
"It seems that this is most likely what happened. He, Zhao Zhenji, came to the cabinet several times because of this incident."
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng on the side spoke at the right time and suggested to Gao Gong.
"In this case, let's let Zhao Zhenji come in quickly and see what happened!"
Hearing this, Gao Gong nodded, then turned his gaze to the subordinate official, waved his hand, and gave instructions.
"Well, let Zhao Zhenji come in!"
"Yes, Mr. Gaoge!"
After receiving Gao Gong's instructions, the subordinate official immediately turned around and left. Not long after, under his guidance, Zhao Zhenji stepped into the cabinet.
As soon as Zhao Zhenji stepped into the cabinet, Gao Gong couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked him.
"Mr. Zhao, what exactly do you want to do when you come to the cabinet this time?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhenji looked around and immediately responded respectfully.
"To be honest, Mr. Gao Ge, I am here this time because not long ago, our Inspectorate suddenly received many impeachment notices."
"And these impeachment memorials all impeach the same person, that is, the left deputy censor, Hai Rui, who is still investigating the case in Shandong!"
After listening to Zhao Zhenji's report, everyone couldn't help but pay attention to the matter. Their faces were full of solemnity. Zhang Juzheng, who was standing next to him, had a look of worry on his face at the right time.
The reason why everyone paid so much attention to this matter was partly because Hai Rui was also on a mission to go to Shandong to investigate the White Lotus Sect. However, he was not impeached sooner rather than later, but at this time, anyone with a discerning eye could see it. Come out, there's something weird behind this!
On the other hand, this Hai Rui is currently in the royal family, and His Majesty also attaches great importance to him. His future future is bound to be immeasurable. Taking advantage of this opportunity to establish a good relationship with him will only bring benefits and no disadvantages!
Immediately, Gao Gong turned his gaze to Zhao Zhenji and gave instructions.
"Well, in that case, Mr. Zhao, please bring me the impeachment memorial first!"
"Yes, Mr. Gaoge!"
After Zhao Zhenji responded, he immediately stepped forward and handed the several impeachment memorials in his hand to Gao Gong, together with the list of officials compiled by the Supervisory Office to impeach Hai Rui.
After Gao Gong took the impeachment memorial from Zhao Zhenji, he only glanced at it briefly, then withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, the crime stated in this memorial is really nonsense. It is based on rumors and rumors. Some people actually say that Hai Rui accepted bribes from local officials!"
After Gao Gong finished speaking, perhaps because he was out of breath, he immediately handed the memorial in his hand to Zhang Juzheng who was standing aside.
"Look at it!"
Zhang Juzheng, who was on the side, nodded slightly when he heard the words. While taking the impeachment memorial from Gao Gong's hand, he immediately responded.
"Yeah, I know!"
After that, Zhang Juzheng solemnly took the impeachment memorial from Gao Gong's hand. After reading it for a moment, Zhang Juzheng looked away, and the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After all, it was Zhang Juzheng who recommended Hai Rui to Jiajing. If Hai Rui really accepted bribes as stated in this impeachment memorial, then he, Zhang Juzheng, would certainly not be able to escape the blame!
Zhang Juzheng, like Gao Gong before, finished browsing the contents of the impeachment memorial and handed it to Yan Shifan who was standing aside.
After Yan Shifan received the impeachment memorial, he only glanced briefly and then looked away.
At this moment, in his mind, what Yan Song had said to him last night emerged involuntarily.
"Yan Shifan, please stop interfering in this matter and let Hai Rui investigate. I want to see how many dirty things Kong Shangxian has done behind his back!"
Thinking of this, Yan Shifan raised the corners of his mouth slightly, a look of ridicule suddenly appeared on his face, and said silently to himself.
"Humph, you can't calm down so quickly?"
"Just wait, the fun is yet to come!" (End of Chapter)
