Zhu Biao hurriedly said: "Father, this matter only has to do with the Ministry of Revenue and the Zhongshu Province. Don't involve too many people. Otherwise, there will be no available people for the lieutenant general."
Why is it that if the Ministry of Education of China is abolished now, the memorials and criticisms will be merciless.
If the six parts are gone, all trivial matters will have to be decided by the emperor in the future. Even if Guanyin with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes comes, he won't be able to finish it. Zhu Bai also said: "This time Liubu is really irresponsible."
Lao Zhu thought for a while and said: "Well, let's keep the six parts for now. No, we can't swallow this breath. Although we can't kill Wang Guangyang, we have to scold that bastard."
He personally wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Wang Guangyang, saying that he had committed crimes such as not exposing Yang Xian's conspiracy in Zhongshu Province, and had protected Zhu Wenzheng in Jiangxi. Now he was so bold as to hide the guilty woman secretly. He was shameless and committed a heinous crime. Read it in vain. He has read so many books of saints and sages, tarnishing the reputation of Confucian scholars all over the world. I will have no butt/eyes when I give birth to a son! !
The messenger took a boat with Lao Zhu's autograph letter to chase Wang Guangyang, and then caught up with him in Taiping.
Wang Guangyang read the letter and felt ashamed and cried bitterly in the cabin. At night, he hung himself from the window with his belt and hanged himself.
The messenger returned and reported the matter to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu said in the morning: "This bastard finally got smart for once. It would be a shame to die!"
He glanced around the hall with a dark gaze.
Everyone in the court, except Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao, lowered their heads and broke out in cold sweat.
Lao Zhu is going to settle the accounts after the fall.
But where will he go?
no one knows.
Lao Zhu said: "After the prisoners' wives became slaves, they became the property of the imperial court. Unless we reward meritorious generals, these slaves should not work in the palace but receive guests in the brothel. How did they go to Wang Guangyang's house now? Backyard? This is true for living people, let alone those dead things. They won't make a sound even if they are taken away. Ru Taisu, come out and tell us what's going on."
Ru Taisu came out tremblingly and said: "Since Mr. Wang and Mr. Hu took office, these matters have been handled by Zhongshu Sheng personally. I really don't know."
Lao Zhu sneered: "Yes, yes. Now that these two people are unlucky, you put all the blame on them. Do you think we are easy to fool?"
Ru Taisu hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare."
Lao Zhu ignored him and said to Yin Xing, the Minister of Punishment: "Ask the Justice Department to investigate this matter strictly. No one can be missed or let go."
When Lao Zhu transferred Yin Xing from the Governor's Office to the Punishment Department, Zhu Bai still wondered why a military general was transferred to the Punishment Department.
At this moment he knew that Lao Zhu was preparing for today.
Once you start to investigate Hu Weiyong, you must be someone who is absolutely loyal to Lao Zhu and is ruthless and capable of thunderous means.
Huaixi Xungui and Yanguan are not suitable.
Therefore, this person can only be selected from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.
Yin Xing hurriedly came out of the queue: "I obey the order. I will take care of it immediately."
After the court, Lao Zhu called Li Wenzhong and Mu Ying to the imperial study room to talk for half an hour.
Li Wenzhong and Mu Ying immediately went to patrol the various guard posts in Yingtian City after they came out of the imperial study.
Then Yin Xing started to investigate the matter.
The messengers who went out to follow Hu Weiyong also returned one after another.
Hu Weiyong sent letters to three generals in total: Lu Zhongheng, Fei Ju, and Ding Bin.
But when the three men received the letter, they detained the sender, and there was no further movement.
Lao Zhu's silence is giving these people the opportunity to take action.
If they were caught without moving, they would definitely refuse to accept it.
But if you don't catch them even though you know they are rebellious, wouldn't it be like putting a thorn in your flesh?
None of the three people moved now.
At least it shows that they are just perfunctory with Hu Weiyong and do not really want to rebel.
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Yin Xing reported the results to Lao Zhu and brought a large box of testimony and evidence.
Lao Zhu specially met him in the imperial study room.
Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai listened with numbness.
Yin Xing not only found out that Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang had occupied the prisoner's concubine, but also found out about Hu Weiyong's rebellion.
Yin Xing was able to produce so much evidence so quickly, it was obvious that he had started investigating a long time ago.
And as long as it is related to rebellion, it will be widely implicated, and most of the people implicated will be sentenced to death.
Yin Xing didn't know whether it was because of Lao Zhu's suggestion or because he wanted to make meritorious deeds. According to his investigation results, basically no one in the court was spared.
Including An Ran, who has always been firmly opposed to Hu Weiyong.
Because Hu Weiyong ordered people to mint copper coins privately in Zhejiang, An Ran served as Zhejiang's official envoy a few years ago and was suspected of covering up.
This is simply implicating for the sake of implicating.
Lao Zhu said that he would wait until these turtles and bastards gathered in a pool before taking action. This time they would definitely go on a killing spree.
Lao Zhu encouraged Yin Xing with a few words and then let him go.
Zhu Biao was anxious, clenching his fists and forcing himself to wait patiently before saying: "Father, Hu Weiyong deserves to die, and so does the Hu Party. But not everyone is a Hu Party. Don't implicate loyal people because of Hu Weiyong. . Otherwise no one will dare to serve the imperial court in the future."
Tell the ugly truth.
After ten years of hard work, I finally became an official, not to mention getting rich and honoring my ancestors.
Even if you are a first-rate honest and good official, you may be implicated by an inexplicable person or thing and lose your life, affecting your whole family.
So why do people think they are so stubborn and insist on becoming an official? Isn’t it good to do business and make money?
In recent years, Zhu Bai vigorously promoted the benefits of the imperial examination, and even used coaxing and deception to select some talents for the imperial court.
If Lao Zhu does this again, everyone will be in danger, and no one will be willing to take part in the imperial examination.
Zhu Bai was also anxious, but kept silent.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to persuade Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu is like a docile donkey. When his emotions are high, the more people persuade him, the more he will do it.
To speak out to persuade him now is to add fuel to the fire.
Lao Zhu pursed his lips: How could he not know that people like An Ran were innocent.
But don't take this opportunity to beat both Huaixi and Yanguan down. It will be difficult to find opportunities in the future.
If we only control the Hu Party, it will greatly weaken the power of the nobles in Huaixi. That is, the Yanguan family will dominate, which is even more terrible.
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Bai and motioned for him to help.
Zhu Bai shook his head slightly.
Lao Zhu caught a glimpse of their little movements, narrowed his eyes and asked Zhu Bai: "Gui Zi, tell me what you think."
Zhu Biao doesn't understand, but Zhu Bai definitely understands.
Zhu Bo pursed his lips and said, "I dare not speak out. According to my father, my eldest brother and I are both fools."
Lao Zhu was stunned: "Nonsense, how can you be a gangster?!"
Zhu Bai said: "Hu Weiyong serves in the Imperial College. My eldest brother and I have always contributed money and efforts to run the Imperial College. Aren't we the chief culprits for cultivating a bunch of Hu Party members?"
Zhu Biao secretly exclaimed: Wonderful. You are still cunning and using offense as defense.
Zhu Bai sighed: "My sister, Princess Anqing, is pitiful. She has just been married and will become a widow. My poor nephew became a posthumous child even before he was born."
