Chief Secretary of Jinling, inner hall.
He Gujin's face was gloomy, and sitting next to him was Zheng Xianlin, who was also frowning in thought at the moment.
Glancing at Zheng Xianlin, He Gujin couldn't help it immediately when he saw that the latter was still silent.
"Old Zheng, you don't want to be alone!"
Being provoked like this by He Gujin, Zheng Xianlin's face was obviously uneasy, and he immediately said: "I said you...can you please stop blaming someone's innocence out of thin air?"
"To accuse someone of innocence out of thin air? Now you're saying the same thing? We decided together how to try the case before, but now you don't admit it?"
Seeing that He Gujin was messing around, Zheng Xianlin knocked on the coffee table and said, "Can we discuss the matter? It's urgent now!"
"Of course we can discuss the matter as it stands, but if you don't say a word, how can we discuss it?"
Zheng Xianlin had nothing to say, and the room fell silent again.
"Those people are really insidious. They don't dare to show up themselves, so they encourage the students to do whatever they want!"
Zheng Xianlin said with great hatred: "If Grandfather Shizu were still alive, all these people would lose their heads!"
Zhu Xianming was also ruthless, but he was the current emperor, so Zheng Xianlin naturally had to pay more attention.
"I would say, Lao Zheng, you should lead the people outside the palace and persuade them to leave!"
He Gujin was the target of verbal and written criticism. Naturally, it was inconvenient for him to show up, so he could only ask Zheng Xianlin to take action.
"I'll go, just me. The Chief Secretary and the Inspector General will all go. What do you think?"
Zheng Xianlin agreed happily, which made He Gujin a little uncomfortable, but he immediately replied: "Okay, I will go back and summon people now!"
Both of their yamen have their own communities of interests, and adding a few more people will definitely have better results.
Seeing He Gujin getting up and about to leave, Zheng Xianlin asked: "How did the case go?"
"The evidence is almost complete, and we can convict you in court at any time!"
Hu Jinan had already committed a crime, so there was no need for Gu Jin to worry about it. He recruited both criminals and officials.
I planned to go to court today, but the "summons" were issued, so I didn't know that something like this would happen.
Zheng Xianlin said with a dark face: "That's good, let's go to court today and decide the case, and they won't be able to cause trouble anymore!"
Right now, he is being called a cruel official even before he is sentenced. If he really wants to be sentenced to those people, won't the trouble become even more serious? He Gu Jin was deeply concerned about this.
"Oh, what's wrong with your mother-in-law and mother? I'm willing to risk everything, so why do you care?"
Zheng Xianlin stood up and said: "When I go to the palace, they will say that you and I are working together, and they won't just scold you!"
After frowning and thinking, He Gujin slapped the table and said decisively: "Okay... let's do it!"
So the two of them went their separate ways. The first thing they had to do was to convince their colleagues and subordinates to let them go outside the palace together.
Among them, the most important one is Zhou Yan, the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Justice, who manages the student registration of a province, which is what the public calls academic administration.
Hundreds of people gathered in the palace. Such a thing happened in Jinling, and Zhou Yan himself was very anxious.
So when He Gujin came to him, Zhou Yan agreed to persuade him without saying a few words, but others were not so easy to greet.
For example, Chen Xuanyi, the deputy envoy in charge of prison litigation, had an attitude that it had nothing to do with him. He would not go away for various reasons anyway, and He Gujin had nothing to do with him.
Of course, He Gujin was not idle either. Instead, he immediately asked people to prepare for the meeting and ordered people to summon both parties.
Let's talk about the palace at the other end. After the two brothers Zhu Jinghong finished their run, they learned the news about He Gu Jin's promotion to the palace.
"This guy is brave and he is a useful person!" Zhu Jinghong couldn't help but praise.
The Scholarship Review was the most important thing for civil servants. He Gujin had to go against the odds at this time, and he was really not an ordinary capable person.
"Well..." Zhu Jingyuan was panting at the moment and just responded casually.
He just jogged three times around the school grounds, which totaled no more than two kilometers. He was so tired, which showed how poor his physical fitness was.
Zhu Jinghong continued: "Fourth brother, you have to keep people like this, otherwise you will chill the people in charge!"
"Um!"
On the east side of the school ground, a pergola has been erected, with seats, fruits, tea and water. The two brothers Zhu Jinghong walked over with support.
When the two of them sat down, Zhu Jinghong asked the surrounding eunuchs and maids to move away because they had to discuss matters next.
"Thirteenth brother, can Zheng Xianlin persuade this person to leave?"
"I think it's very suspenseful, so I still have to use my method to arrest all these people for disturbing Taizu's mausoleum!"
The students are young and frivolous, very easily deceived by others, and they think they have the truth. It is undoubtedly difficult to persuade them.
If they are allowed to continue their nonsense, it will easily affect public discussion, so it must be stopped as soon as possible.
There have been too many people listening to Zhu Jinghong recently, and Zhu Jingyuan only felt that he was going further and further on the road of deviance.
But I have to say, these methods are really useful... Zhu Jingyuan was in pain and happy.
Just listen to him ask: "When will we do it?"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Jinghong replied: "We have to wait a little longer, before lunch!"
Using force is a last resort, and he is unwilling to use it unless necessary, so he plans to give the students another chance.
"Reporting to the Crown Prince, the Thirteenth Master... Li Qianhu is here!"
Hearing the report, the two brothers looked at each other, and then the prince said: "Call him over!"
"yes!"
After a while, Li Wenzhao, wearing a purple unicorn-patterned official uniform, rushed over and saluted Zhu Jinghong and the two.
"Li Qianhu, you've been very busy recently!" Zhu Jinghong spoke slowly, but his tone was a bit off.
"Recently, I have found out the accounts of various government offices, and I have to send people to spy on the Japanese pirates. Moreover, the traitors from the White Lotus Sect have also made some movements. I haven't even slept a wink in the past two days..."
"I'm not afraid of the Thirteenth Prince's jokes. I went to relieve myself this morning... and almost fell into the latrine!"
This time when the students gathered in the palace, Jin Yiwei found no clues, so Zhu Jinghong wanted to reprimand him.
But looking at Li Wenzhao's haggard look, he could only hold back the words that came to his lips.
Jinyiwei has many people and many errands. Zhu Jinghong generally understands these situations, and he doesn't want to be too harsh at this moment.
"Have you seen those people outside?"
"I saw it!" Li Wenzhao answered carefully.
Zhu Jinghong asked in a deep voice: "Scholar Donggong can't persuade him to leave. If Zheng Xianlin and the others can't persuade him to leave, what do you think we should do?"
Li Wenzhao was a thief and immediately replied: "I obey the instructions of the Thirteenth Prince!"
"You answered quickly. It seems you are not tired enough!" Zhu Jinghong said with a smile.
Li Wenzhao, as long as he wasn't stupid, could hear the sarcasm in his words, so he could only lower his head and smile awkwardly.
Fading his smile, Zhu Jinghong said coldly: "Li Wenzhao, I asked you to come here to share the prince's worries, not to be a yes man!"
"yes!"
"On the surface, these people want to remove He Gujin, but in fact, they want to intimidate the prince. Is this what a minister should do?"
"They are young and must have been deceived by others. If Zheng Xianlin and others persist in persuading them for a long time, you should stop appeasing them and investigate the mastermind behind them!"
Are they young? You seem to be younger than them, right?
Do you want us to tolerate it? If you two don't have a say in this matter, who dares to use force against these students?
Li Wenzhao complained in his heart, but his face remained unfailingly respectful, and he nodded solemnly at the end.
"I understand what Thirteenth Master means!"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jinghong said seriously: "This is not what I meant, but what you Jin Yiwei meant!"
