Seeing the suspicious look from Chen Shilang again, Wu Zhizhong smiled coldly and pitifully.
"Brother, I'm afraid you don't know that the existence of the Zhu family and his son in Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau is closely related to the powerful eunuchs and traitors in our court."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Shilang subconsciously tilted his mouth. He was worthy of being a fighter among loyal ministers, and the description was extremely appropriate.
From Wu Zhizhong's words, we learned that the Zhu family and his son who were in charge of the Suzhou Bureau relied on currying favor with Tong Guan and Cai Jing, so they were able to extort money from the people in the south of the Yangtze River.
Chen Shilang, who had a gloomy look on his face and eyes that were almost on fire, couldn't help but stamp his feet and drink.
"In that case, what does Gao Guizhang mean? Does he want to join forces with Tong Guan and Cai Jing?"
"Why would he collude with these two people?"
The corners of Wu Zhizhong's mouth tilted, and his smile looked so meaningful, although he, Wu, was still not sure of his guess.
But I still have a vague feeling that this handsome young man, who has only been in office for a year and is already wearing a royal robe, probably has a big conspiracy...
When Chen Shilang wanted to ask more questions, the court fell silent again as Yang Jian opened his mouth to scold him.
Just when Gao Qiu was worried about his own son's safety, all the important ministers looked at Tong Guan and Cai Jing jealously.
The official Zhao Ji, who had been sitting quietly behind the imperial case with a gloomy face, finally slowly raised his head, and his eyes fell directly on Cai Jing and Tong Guan.
Soon, a scene in which the civil and military ministers of the dynasty were stunned appeared.
Cai Jing and Tong Guan stood at the foot of the stairs and were severely reprimanded by the official Zhao Ji.
The content of the reprimand was because Cai Jing and Tong Guan had repeatedly recommended the Zhu family and his son who had rebelled against each other.
They were severely criticized for their stupidity and unclear understanding of people.
In the end, the conversation changed, because your two sons worked conscientiously and down-to-earth in the governor's team, and they also discovered in time the Zhu family's plan to rebel.
This gave the court time to react so that it could deploy troops and generals to deal with it.
Because of your son's meritorious service, he has made up for the mistakes of you two fathers.
Therefore, I will not pursue the serious fault of you two for the time being. I hope you two will reflect on it and don't let me disappoint you again.
It was not until this moment that all the important officials in the court, who were originally full of envy, jealousy, and hatred, finally realized what they were doing.
Why did Cai Jing and Tong Guan look like they were mourning the death of their father and mother when they heard their sons being praised?
There were even many ministers who knew the nature of Cai Laoliu and Tong Zhisheng, and almost curled up their lips and burst into laughter.
"This, this can't be done, right?"
Wu Zhizhong, the scheming Minister of Rites, looked confused at this moment.
No way? No way? That kid Gao Guizhang, could it be because he likes to watch the fun?
He wanted these two disobedient sons to ride on their own father's forehead and shit on them, deliberately disgusting Cai and Tong. Isn’t it possible that this wonderful 800-mile express delivery was concocted?
But apart from this explanation, Wu Zhizhong really couldn't figure out what other reasons could explain why the prodigy champion would concoct such an eight-hundred-mile express.
Just when Wu Zhizhong's mind was in a mess, the official spoke again.
I asked all the officials in the Manchu Dynasty how to deal with the rebellion caused by Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng in Suzhou.
Tong Guan, the military official who had just been severely reprimanded by the officials, immediately jumped out to express his opinion without hesitation.
I have made mistakes in the past, but this time I must ask the officials for permission to go and quell the rebellion.
I will definitely tear off the heads of Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng with my own hands and present them to the emperor to make up for this.
However, if it were placed before, the official Zhao Ji would naturally agree.
But the problem is, the officials are extremely disgusted when they think of what Tong Guan did before.
After a few words of non-committal praise, such as "praise for courage" and other nonsense, he left Tong Guan aside and continued to ask for the opinions of all ministers.
This attitude of the officials seems reasonable and reasonable in the eyes of the ministers and workers.
After all, the rebel Zhu family and his son were brought up by you, and now the prodigy champion has noticed in advance that the Zhu family and his son are going to rebel.
You actually want to rush over to pick fruits. Isn’t this a bit too flattering?
Even Gao Qiu, who was still worried about the safety of his own son before, his face darkened when he heard Tong Guan's words. However, after seeing the official's attitude, Gao Qiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But this time, Gao Qiu's thoughts began to get excited, even if his own son praised Tong Zhisheng and Cai Laoliu again in the memorial.
But please don’t forget that your beloved son Gao Zhang is the governor. Without his instructions and command, how could the two of them do things without permission?
If Zhang'er can take over the important task of suppressing the rebellion of Zhu's father and son, hiss...
Gao Qiu's old heart couldn't help but beat wildly. Zhang'er was not only talented, but he was also proficient in military strategy. Maybe...
Just when Gao Qiu was in a state of confusion, he didn't know whether he should instruct someone to come forward and recommend his beloved son.
He heard a cough, and when he raised his eyelids, he saw Wu Zhizhong, an old driver who had sneaked into his home several times and hooked up with his beloved son Gao Zhang.
Wu Zhizhong was originally full of doubts and could not understand Gao Zhang's purpose and intention.
He saw the official's wandering eyes falling on him after he rejected Tong Guan's self-recommendation.
At this moment, Wu Zhizhong, who had already cooperated with the official Zhao Ji several times because of the incident with the child prodigy champion Gao Zhang, suddenly felt blessed.
Then Wu Zhizhong cleared his throat, strode out of the queue, saluted the official Zhao Ji, and then began his statement.
"I believe that in the land south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Chong and Zhu Meng's father and son are plotting rebellion, and the situation is urgent. If you want to quell the chaos, you should do it as quickly as possible.
Only then can the turbulent situation caused by the rebellion of the Zhu family and his son be controlled to the smallest extent. "
"Therefore, I believe that Gao Zhang, the governor of the two Zhejiang Roads, is well-equipped in both civil and military affairs and is extremely resourceful. Now he has been given the order to patrol the two Zhejiang Roads. If the imperial court grants him full power to command the states on the two Zhejiang Roads..."
When Wu Zhizhong spoke like this, whether it was Tong Guan, Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, or the civil and military officials in the court, they all turned their eyes towards Wu Zhizhong.
As for the official Zhao Ji, he felt relieved after hearing what Wu Zhizhong said. Sure enough, Wu Aiqing understood my thoughts very well and understood how I needed his cooperation.
Gao Qiu stared at Wu Zhizhong blankly, his thoughts turned around, and he began to focus on those trustworthy military officials. The first assistant, second assistant, and third assistant began to prepare...
