Datong's discount? "
Ye Xianggao reached out and grabbed the memorial on the desk. After opening it, he held it in front of his eyes and read it.
The more he read the above content, the uglier his face became. Finally, he slapped the table with his hand and said angrily: "These Datong officials are so brave. Not only did they conceal this kind of traitor under their rule, they actually refused to report it." They also colluded secretly, and simply didn’t take the court’s laws into consideration.”
The memorial was handed over by the Datong Inspector General. It not only stated that the Tiger Character Banner supported private soldiers, but also focused on the collusion between the Datong Governor, the General Soldier, and even most of the officials in Datong and the Tiger Character Banner.
Wang Wenyan reached out and picked up the folder on the table.
Although the folder was handed over through his hand, he did not know what was inside.
After reading it, he was not as angry as Ye Xianggao. Instead, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, adults. This is a good thing for us."
"What do you mean?" Ye Xianggao frowned.
There are Jurchens in Liaodong who are ambitious, and the chieftains in the south have rebellions from time to time. Now there are rebels in Datong Town, one of the nine borders. This has added to the gloom of the troubled Ming Dynasty, so he does not think this is a good thing.
Wang Wenyan said with a smile on his lips: "With this memorial from Wang Xun, my lord, you can take this opportunity to get rid of Wei Eunuch, the eunuch who has deceived the Holy Listener."
Ye Xianggao looked puzzled.
Seeing this, Wang Wenyan had no choice but to continue: "This Tiger Character Banner has opened a shop in the capital, selling some things from Liaodong. The business is very good. Some people have seen Wei Gong going in and out of this shop several times. There are rumors that this shop The boss behind it is Wei Gong."
"Are you saying that it was Wei Yi who secretly raised private soldiers?" Ye Xianggao said hesitantly, but before Wang Wenyan could speak, he shook his head and said, "This is impossible, Wei Yi is not so bold as to raise them in Datong." A troop of troops.”
Wang Wenyan said with a smile: "If what Mr. Wang said in the booklet is true, then the student can be sure that there is someone else behind the Tiger Flag. Wei Wei must not know about the private soldiers."
"Yes." Ye Xianggao nodded and said, "Although Wei Eunuch deceived the Holy Lord and harmed Zhongliang, in the end he was just a slave beside the Holy Lord. No matter how courageous he was, he would not dare to commit such a treasonous act."
"What the adults said is absolutely true, and the students also think that Wei Yi would not do such a thing. This matter was most likely done privately by people from the Tiger Character Banner, and Wei Yi did not know about it." Wang Wenyan agreed with Ye Xianggao's words, Immediately he added, "It doesn't matter whether Wei Eun knows about it or not. The key is that we can use this matter to kill Wei Eun."
As he spoke, he made a slashing motion with his palm.
Ye Xianggao frowned, stroking his beard, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "No, Wei Yi's relationship with this tiger-character flag is just a rumor, and there is no conclusive evidence. This alone may not be able to do anything to him. "
Having been in officialdom for decades, he knew very well that Wei Yi was getting the favor of the Holy Spirit, and it would be difficult to defeat this person just by relying on some rumors.
Wang Wenyan, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "Master Wang's note mentioned Datong officials' cover-up and concealment of the Tiger Flag. It is obvious that Master Wang is mainly targeting those in power in Datong."
He pointed at the memorial that had been placed back on the table.
Ye Xianggao didn't speak, he just picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip.
As a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, he had been an official for almost forty years. As soon as Wang Xinyi's book was sent to him, he naturally saw that it was aimed at the governor and the commander-in-chief of Datong.
Wang Wenyan continued: "As far as the students know, the current Governor of Datong is a member of Wei Eunuch. Even if Wei Eunuch can clear away his relationship with Tiger Character Banner, it will definitely be difficult for him to escape from the matter of Governor Datong. Even if he cannot take this opportunity, Removing him can also cause him to lose his grace. Once there is no grace, it will be a simple matter to deal with him."
Ye Xianggao nodded and said immediately: "Go ahead and find several cabinet ministers. I want to discuss it with them."
"Absolutely not." Wang Wenyan stopped him, and then said, "I am afraid that this book will have to go through several hands before it can enter Wenyuan Pavilion, and there is no shortage of people in the palace who want to flatter Wei Yi. Once Wei Yi knows about the book, There is no guarantee that the above content will not come up with a solution, so the adults need to catch him off guard before he reacts."
"You're right, we can't give Wei Yi a chance. I will meet with His Majesty right now." Ye Xianggao stood up from his seat and stuffed the folding paper on the table into his sleeves.
Wang Wenyan bowed to Ye Xianggao and said, "It's all thanks to you to be able to defeat Wei Yi in one fell swoop."
Ye Xianggao, who walked to the door of the office, turned around and said, "I will go to see the saint first. Tell the ministers and Master Han the news."
"Don't worry, sir, the students will take care of things properly." Wang Wenyan assured.
Ye Xianggao nodded. He still believed in Wang Wenyan's ability to do things. Especially at this time, he believed that Wang Wenyan could handle everything properly.
Huangji Hall is the place where Tianqi rests and reviews memorials.
Ye Xianggao came to the outside of Huangji Hall and said to an internal eunuch who was guarding outside the hall: "Please, father-in-law, please go in and report. I have important matters to see the Holy One."
When the eunuch saw that the visitor was the chief minister of the cabinet, he said with a smile on his face: "Chief Ye, please come back. The emperor is taking a nap. It's not easy to disturb him at this time. Why don't you come back later."
"I have an urgent matter, and I must make it clear to you immediately." Ye Xianggao's face sank.
The eunuch in front of the main hall was startled and said repeatedly: "Ye Shoufu, please don't embarrass me. This is something that Senior Official Wei has told me. How can I dare to let you in without permission?"
Ye Xianggao's heart sank when he heard that it was related to Wei Zhongxian, thinking that Wei Zhongxian knew about Zhezi.
Thinking of this, he rushed into the main hall regardless of whether the internal prison in front of him blocked him or not.
The internal eunuch who was guarding outside did not expect Ye Xiang to break into Gao Huisheng and wanted to stop him, but he did not dare to actually stop a chief minister of the cabinet. He could only follow him and kept urging him: "Chief Minister Ye , please spare the little one, the emperor is really resting at the moment, if you break in like this, the little one can’t afford the punishment!"
Unfortunately, Ye Xianggao ignored him and walked toward the palace where Tianqi usually received ministers.
The jailer didn't dare to stop him, so he had no choice but to follow Ye Xianggao and walk inside.
Ye Xianggao broke into the palace inside and saw Tianqi sitting on the dragon couch. He hurriedly saluted and said, "I am here to see you, Your Majesty."
Tianqi was resting on the dragon couch when the noise outside the palace woke him up. As soon as he sat up, he saw Ye Xianggao coming in.
"Please get up, Mr. Ge." Tian Qixu raised his right hand, signaling Ye Xianggao to stand up, and then said, "I don't know why Mr. Ge is so anxious to see me!"
