Lu Guangzu looked at the river with a sinking face, and figured out in his mind the operation of the Minister of War in Nanjing to build a plank road in secret to assassinate Chen Cang.
After a while.
Lu Guangzu sighed again and said: "Yin She County deserves to be Yin She County. You only remember that he is greedy for fame and forget that he is also a capable minister!"
After saying that, Lu Guangzu flicked his robe sleeves and put his hands behind his back, facing the rolling heat waves blowing in his face. Although he had a fan in his hand, he had no intention of fanning.
Feng Jinglong also had a look of disappointment on his face, even to the point where he didn't want to believe it: "I haven't forgotten that he can do something, but hasn't Yin She County been so cautious that he would rather use Zhejiang soldiers than Nanjing soldiers to guard food and grass? How could he still do it? Would you think of guarding us again?!"
Lu Guangzu took back his hand, knocked the Japanese fan into his palm, smiled, and then said with a cold face: "No traitor is easy to deal with!"
Then, Lu Guangzu ordered Feng Jinglong: "Quickly kill Yue Feng's younger brother in your house!"
Feng Jinglong nodded, and then asked: "So the destruction of Burma cannot be stopped?"
"Maybe this is God's will!"
Lu Guangzu sighed, and then added: "The key now is Beijing, something may happen!"
Feng Jinglong nodded: "My Lord is right, the New Deal has not been abolished, the political hall collegiality will continue to exist, and many things will be easily discovered!"
…
Capital.
Half a month later.
Zhu Yijun knew about the fires in a large number of ships and granaries in Nanzhi.
"Where's the food and fodder used to destroy Burma? It was also burned?"
After Zhu Yijun found out, he hurriedly asked Privy Councilor Fang Fengshi about the food and grass.
Fang Fengshi said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Nanben's soldiers have been sent to Huaining by express delivery, and it is stated that the grain and grass have been transported to Huaining by him in advance in the name of earth-moving ceremony. What was burned was only empty official ships loaded with mud and sand to pressurize the warehouse and Zhejiang soldiers." Empty granary with handle.”
Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "What a Yin Zhengmao! I will let him serve as Minister of War in Nanjing, otherwise others will not be so dedicated to protecting food and grass."
】
"But why did they burn the food and grass used by the imperial court to destroy Burma?"
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked Fang Fengshi with a serious face.
Fang Fengshi said: "According to Yin Gong, the Nanben soldier, those who participated in the burning of grain and grass were some Japanese and a few Zhejiang soldiers on the ship. The one who bribed them was a man named Yue Lan!"
"The Han thief Yue Feng, who colluded with the Burmese barbarians and some chieftains in Yunnan, and led hundreds of thousands of elephant soldiers to attack our places such as Leinong, Zhanda, Ganya, Nandian, Mubang, etc. in Yunnan, killing and plundering our border people, and this man what is the relationship?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Fang Fengshi said: "This is still unclear, but Your Majesty is wise, these two people are likely to be related."
"However, what is certain is that the people who burned the grain and grass were to prevent our army from conquering Burma! Because according to the report from the Nanben Military Express, the captured Japanese revealed that they already knew that these grains were for the army to conquer Burma."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and other officials in power: "Who leaked the secret?"
"Only I and the ministers and ministers of the Political Affairs Hall know the strategy of destroying Burma!"
"And such a thorough plan to set fire to grain and burn food cannot be prepared in a short time. The secret must have been leaked just after I decided on the strategy to destroy Burma, so that I could take action to prevent the country's political affairs so quickly!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and other ruling ministers with burning eyes.
At this time, Zhang Jing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it just so happens that Jin Yiwei has just sent back a secret report from Zhejiang recently, and the minister is about to report it to Your Majesty."
"What secret?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Zhang Jing replied: "Hanlin Zhao Chengzhi went to his hometown two months ago and sent porcelain bottles and noodles."
"Porcelain vase and noodles."
"Ping Mian."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhao Zhigao: "Do you know the consequences of leaking military planes?"
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
Zhao Zhigao immediately knelt down and shouted with a trembling voice.
Then, Zhao Zhigao looked at Zhang Jing: "Why did the factory owner accuse me so innocently?!"
Zhang Jing also knelt down: "Your Majesty, the chamberlain only reported the truth about what Jin Yiwei uploaded. He did not say that Zhao Chengzhi ordered the people to communicate with the barbarians. Therefore, the chamberlain does not know what Zhao Chengzhi said that the chamberlain wronged him. He said that the ministers had wronged him."
As Zhang Jing spoke, he looked at Zhao Zhigao and asked: "Is it possible that Zhao Chengzhi is not willing to accept the fact that he sent a porcelain vase and noodles to his family two months ago, shortly after the political affairs hall decided on the strategy of destroying Burma?" Do you admit it in front of me?! Do we have to take out your family letter?!"
Zhao Zhigao looked aggrieved and could only kowtow to the ground: "Your Majesty, I am begging for the bones!"
"This matter can be settled by begging for bones."
Zhu Yijun said in a deep voice.
"Since Your Majesty said this, I can't really cleanse myself by jumping into the Yellow River, but I am indeed unjust!"
"I really did not leak the secret. I sent the porcelain vase and noodles to my home. I just thought that the porcelain of 'Huyin Taoist' (a famous porcelain maker during the Wanli period) was better than the noodles of Dong's Noodle Shop in the capital."
Zhao Zhigao replied.
"Draw up a decree to punish Zhao Zhigao Lingchi for leaking secrets to barbarians, and his entire clan will be executed!"
Zhu Yijun only said this at this time.
He knew that if you really had to rely on 100% evidence to convict a person, then many treacherous officials and corrupt officials would not let the emperor find out which of the laws he had broken.
fortunately.
The Ming Dynasty was an autocratic monarchy.
As the emperor, Zhu Yijun was the only exception outside the rules, and could also deal with those who undermined his purpose outside the rules.
After Zhu Yijun gave such instructions, Zhao Zhigao froze on the spot.
"His Majesty!"
Suddenly, Yang Wei, the Minister of Punishment, shouted eagerly, and then raised his hands to Zhu Yijun and said:
"Your Majesty, it is quite far-fetched to conclude that Zhao Chengzhi leaked the secrets based on this! Even if he is an ordinary civilian, his treatment must be documented and evidence-based; not to mention that Zhao Chengzhi is a close official of the Imperial Academy. In the opinion of a foolish minister, It’s better to find out in front of a judge! If you fabricate the crime of Tongyi out of thin air, it will be difficult to convince the public, and it will undoubtedly damage the majesty of the national law!"
"Did you leak the secret?"
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked Yang Wei.
Yang Wei was also startled, and then he knelt on the ground: "I don't have any! Your Majesty is a wise king. You should know that if you are not secretive, you will lose your ministers. This is not the way for a king to judge his ministers!"
"I don't care which one of you leaked the secret, now either I will chop him, Zhao Zhigao, or I will chop you all!"
As Zhu Yijun spoke, he suddenly pointed at Zhang Jing and Zhang Hong: "Including you!"
"It's nothing more than the subjugation of the country!"
"If the secrets of military affairs and military affairs cannot be spilled in the palace, then there will be no need to govern the country and ask for a sage king. The country will still be destroyed!"
Zhu Yijun sneered when he said this.
"Your Majesty, I request you to order the traitor Zhao Zhigao to be killed and to uphold his integrity!"
Shen Shixing hurriedly knelt down and said something in a deep voice. He couldn't help but close his eyes and the elephant wat he was holding in his hand shook slightly.
The other ruling ministers all looked at Shen Shixing in astonishment.
Zhu Yijun raised his eyes and his eyes lit up.
Fang Fengshi sighed slightly, and then knelt down: "I request an order to kill the treacherous minister Zhao Zhigao, so that he can be upright!"
Pan Cheng, Yu Youding, Zhang Xueyan and others were even more shocked, and then they knelt down and asked for orders to chop Zhao Zhigao.
"allow!"
Zhu Yijun only said one word at this time.
"Shenwu County! You sycophant!"
Seeing this scene, Zhao Zhigao suddenly lost his temper and scolded Shen Shixing, and also scolded the other ministers: "You are all sycophants!"
"The emperor insulted Duke Yuan Fu and showed no ministerial integrity. Five hundred more knives will be added to his sentence!"
Zhu Yijun said suddenly.
Zhao Zhigao was stunned.
