Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, letting go does not mean indulgence, it is just picking up important things and doing them first. In the opinion of the veteran, you can send people to investigate slowly at this time, and wait until the important matters in the court are understood, and someone comes again If it stirs up trouble, Your Majesty can do whatever you want!"
Emperor Wanli immediately understood what Zhang Juzheng meant, and he clearly wanted to delay it, and then delay it again and again, until it was over. Although he was a little unwilling, he also knew that this was not the time to fall out with Zhang Juzheng, so he hesitated and said, "Just what Mr. Zhang said! But those who spread rumors in the capital must be investigated and dealt with!"
The reason why Zhang Juzheng came out to speak was not that he really protected the Zhuzhuhui, but that the Zhuzhuhui was involved from the court to the local government, and it was indeed a great obstacle to his implementation of the new law. And this time the master will take the initiative to show his face, and he will always take the opportunity to sort out a group of people to control! For a veteran of the court like him, this kind of thing is simply familiar!
And to be honest, he has never considered the Overlord as an opponent! If it were the previous Lord's Association, he would have to deal with it carefully, but now the Lord's Association has completely reduced to a gathering place of greedy villains. If he hadn't cared so much about the implementation of the new law, he would have eliminated these people long ago!
Hearing Emperor Wanli speak, Zhang Juzheng stopped talking because he achieved his goal. And he knew that Emperor Wanli had no determination to investigate the Master Association! He could see this from Liu Haojia's memorial. Because the name of the Master Society is completely hidden in the memorial, but those who should understand will naturally understand!
When Zhang Siwei saw that Zhang Juzheng did not answer, but instead lowered his hands slightly, he knew that he did not want to get involved, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, it is necessary to investigate, but we cannot just investigate these people. We should send people to Tianjin Inquire about the specific circumstances of the case! Especially the main culprits must not be let go!"
Emperor Wanli said: "Mr. Zhang Ge, if you say this, you still don't believe Wu Ninghou!"
Zhang Siwei shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, this is not because I don't believe it, but because the court has its own rules! How can such a major and important case be directly convicted without going through the Ministry of Justice's trial! What's more, there are rumors that Wu Ninghou amassed money and filled his own pockets. , triggered this civil uprising, so I will investigate based on this reason and check the accounts by the way, so as to clear Marquis Wu Ning's name!"
Zhang Siwei's words aroused the echo of the courtiers, and many courtiers came out to express their support. And Emperor Wanli also knew that this was the beginning of another battle. He even knew that he had no ability to stop this kind of thing. After all, what Zhang Siwei said was true and righteous!
So he simply said: "Then let Marquis Wu Ning escort the criminal to the capital. Tianjin is not far from the capital anyway, it only takes a few days!"
When Zhang Siwei saw that Emperor Wanli didn't mention the matter of auditing the accounts, he knew that he wanted to protect Wu Ninghou. But he was already trapped in the situation, and he couldn't help but move forward! And based on what he heard and saw, he felt that there were no officials in the world who were not corrupt, so Emperor Wanli's opposition only strengthened his determination to audit the accounts!
As long as he uses the accounting as a breakthrough to cause some trouble, then with his political warfare methods, he is confident that he can play Wu Ninghou at his fingertips! When the time comes, sharing some of the big piece of fat in Tianjin with the Zhang family will also be a huge benefit!
So he nodded first and said: "I obey the order, and we will arrange for the people to travel today! At the same time, I sent a letter to Wu Ninghou to send people to the capital! However, the accounting matters still need to be checked. After all, commercial tax has just begun in Tianjin. , it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so it is wise to check in advance, so as not to make up for the mistakes later and regret it too late!”
Naturally, the courtiers knew the elegant meaning of the song after hearing it! Although many of them had already set up shops in Tianjin, they were too busy with Zhang Juzheng's return from love. As a result, many good shops and businesses fell into the hands of others, which made them sigh with regret!
It would be a good thing to make a lot of money this time if we go to check the accounts and find out something, or simply seize some shops from the merchants, so they strongly agree! So in the face of this situation, Emperor Wanli had no power to refute, so he could only agree to it! However, he still thought about asking Zhang Jia to send a letter to Liu Haojia in the next morning to remind him about the accounts.
Especially after Zhang Siwei arranged for various ministries to recommend people to go to Tianjin to audit the accounts.
With his hand, Emperor Wanli was completely put aside, and his teeth were itching with hatred! However, the ministers below ignored Emperor Wanli and Zhang Siwei and discussed loudly, which aroused Emperor Wanli's desire to take power more and more!
After finally finishing his morning court, Emperor Wanli returned to his room and threw something! The Zhang family watched with fear! However, he also understood Emperor Wanli's resentment. As an emperor, he was thrown aside by his ministers without even asking. This was so embarrassing.
After he finished venting, Emperor Wanli calmed down and said: "Zhang Jia, write a letter to Wu Ninghou immediately and tell him what happened in the court this morning! Also tell him that you must save face for me this time, and you must not let him. People find fault!"
Hearing this, Zhang Jia smiled bitterly and said, "Long live my lord, it's not like you don't know the character of those ministers. If you want to find fault, you can't pick out the bones from the eggs. I'm afraid you can pick out the chicks!"
Emperor Wanli shouted loudly: "I don't care, in short, I want them to look good this time, and I can't lose any face!"
Zhang Jia had no choice but to agree, wrote a letter, put it in a secret box and sent it away. Then he tried to divert Emperor Wanli's attention.
It was almost night when Liu Haojia received this letter, and he was discussing the wedding date with Zhang Peijia and Tan Cuiying.
Emperor Wanli is getting married this year, so Liu Haojia is also planning to take this opportunity to get married this year. Zhang Peijia has been with him for so long, and has always been anonymous. There are already bad messages coming out! Although Liu Haojia didn't care, he had to consider Zhang Peijia's mood!
Moreover, they have been together for a long time and have let go of many things. What's more, they both have their own opinions, so they are very happy to talk about their marriage! As for Tan Cuiying, it doesn't matter. He has no father or mother, as long as he enters the school one year later than Zhang Peijia.
Opening the secret box, Liu Haojia put it away after reading his belief, and then said with a smile: "It seems that Long live the Lord is very angry with the courtiers at this time, and he must help him get out of it!"
