In the cabinet duty room.
As soon as Yu Qian and Li Xian walked in, Li Xian said: "It seems that what we did was noticed by Duke Cheng. He came to beat us for what happened today, but he accidentally offended Tianwei." .”
Of course Yu Qian knows.
"So what if I know. If there is a mistake, why can't we investigate it?" Yu Qian didn't care about this.
"I'm afraid that Duke Cheng will not be able to turn this corner and will protect his descendants with all his strength. Although His Majesty is young, he has a very high heart and will definitely not tolerate Duke Cheng. If this happens, it will be unstable for the court. Why not, we are giving them a chance, which can be regarded as giving Cheng Guogong a chance. After all, we have indeed contributed to the Ming Dynasty." Li Xian said softly.
His considerations were more serious than Yu Qianlai's. In his opinion, as an official in the court, there must be checks and balances, and the nobles and nobles must not be weak, otherwise the Queen Mother would not be relieved, and even His Majesty would think too much.
But Yu Qian didn't think so much.
"They have violated the national law. If Duke Cheng Guo is left to deal with it on his own, they will not be taught a lesson and will inevitably commit the crime again in the future. They must be severely punished to avoid committing the crime again. The various Mongolian ministries are watching with eager eyes, and the capital's army cannot go out. Otherwise, the records created by the Ministry of War are inconsistent with the actual situation, and if there is a war, it will be another big defeat." Yu Qian didn't think so much.
Duke Cheng Guo fell, and Yu Qian became the target of public criticism. The Empress Dowager watched, and all the officials stared. This was actually very detrimental to Yu Qian.
The most important reason why Yu Qian is now able to take charge of national affairs is the constraints of the Xungui Group.
After the death of the British Duke Zhang Fu, Chengguo Duke Zhu Shou and Taining Marquis Chen Ying have become the two banners of the nobles.
Now Yu Qian was rectifying the Beijing camp and cut down the biggest flag at once.
Then you really have the power.
Even if the Empress Dowager Sun no longer has her own opinion, she also knows that the situation is not right. When the time comes, she will definitely check and balance Qian, and the officials will keep a close eye on Yu Qian. When the time comes, Yu Qian will be somewhat restrained in supervising the state affairs.
Li Xian sighed and said: "I only hope that the encounter during the imperial prelude will allow Duke Cheng to see the situation clearly and rein in the situation."
Yu Qian's eyes were deep and he didn't answer.
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen was sitting in front of the imperial case, and below him stood the Duke of Cheng, Zhu Shou, and the Marquis of Taining, Chen Ying.
"I wonder what Duke Cheng Guo is upset about." Zhu Jianshen said straight to the point.
Zhu Shou was speechless and speechless.
How can I say that some juniors among the nobles have been paid free money, and Yu Qian wants to investigate them, am I not convinced?
Chen Ying also knew Zhu Shou's unspeakable secret.
Immediately he came out to rescue Zhu Shou.
"The juniors were not up to par, which made Duke Cheng a little annoyed, so he proposed to take the juniors to Liaodong for training, which then disturbed His Majesty." Chen Ying said softly.
Zhu Shou glanced at Chen Ying and said, "It's exactly what Marquis Taining said, Your Majesty."
If it was really that simple, how could Zhu Shou pause for so long.
Of course Zhu Jianshen didn't believe it, but it involved the noble juniors, that is, it involved the military camp. He made a note of it in his mind, and then said: "You can't make a weapon without polishing it. Duke Cheng Guo wants to take the juniors to practice, which is also a good intention, but the country The position of a duke is extremely respected, so you must be careful when speaking in the court, otherwise you will cause officials to be impeached and dissatisfied, which will not be of any benefit to the court."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong." Zhu Shou said quickly. In fact, deep down in his heart, he was still a little afraid of Zhu Jianshen.
Yes, he was afraid of a child over eight years old.
He felt that Zhu Jianshen's palace was deeper than the Supreme Emperor, as if he could see through him.
After the British Duke visited Zhang Fu, Zhu Shou had already felt this way. When it came to the Qianqing Palace, he was reprimanded by Zhu Jianshen without a single curse word. Zhu Shou had no face and did not dare to treat His Majesty as his Majesty. Treated like a child.
Zhu Jianshen nodded, and then said: "It's okay. Duke Cheng and Marquis Taining, please step back."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After the two of them finished speaking, they faced Zhu Jianshen and retreated. After exiting Qianqing Palace, they turned around and left.
The two people left the palace and found that Xu Youzhen's carriage was still there not far away.
Zhu Shou snorted coldly and got on his horse.
Chen Ying smiled bitterly and got on his horse.
After the two left, Xu Youzhen, who was sitting in the carriage, chuckled: "How much do I think His Majesty can say to you? In this time, at most three sentences, is it worth deliberately showing off in front of me?"
It turned out that Xu Youzhen, who had walked out of the palace, was still a little curious, so she stopped at the entrance of the palace and waited. Only when she saw Zhu Shou and Chen Ying coming out did she really feel relieved.
The time was too short to say much.
"Let's go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
"Yes, sir."
The carriage gradually moved away.
Unlike Xu Youzhen who was in a happy mood, Zhu Jianshen in the Qianqing Palace frowned.
Something happened in Jingying, and it was no small matter.
Zhang Bao, who had been by his side, also noticed His Majesty's irritability.
"Is Your Majesty worried about Duke Cheng and Marquis Taining deliberately hiding something?"
Zhu Jianshen nodded, and then said: "Ask the Jin Yiwei commander to make Zhu Ji come over."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Bao went down to deliver the order, but Zhu Jianshen was sitting on the dragon throne, thinking about the faces of Yu Qian, Li Xian and others when Cheng Guogong Zhu Shou lost control and went crazy.
Yu Qian's face looked normal, but something was wrong with Li Xian, and he felt like he couldn't laugh or cry. Of course, this kind of crying and laughing had to be mocking Duke Cheng's misconduct, but it seemed like a kind of self-mockery for himself.
It seems that Zhu Shou's anger is directed at the cabinet.
But accidentally, it happened to me.
Just when Zhu Jian was thinking deeply about this matter, the commander of the Jin Yiwei sent Zhu Ji to Qianqing Palace.
First, he knelt down and saluted.
After the ceremony, Zhu Jianshen said straight to the point: "I suspect that there is something going on in the Beijing camp. Commander Zhu, go and investigate. Start investigating among the nobles. The focus is on the matter of free salary."
After Zhu Ji heard what Zhu Jianshen said, his heart moved, and then he asked: "Your Majesty, are we investigating in secret, or in a big way?"
Zhu Jianshen didn't speak, just sighed softly. He really treated the emperor as a child.
Zhang Bao, who knew what Zhu Jianshen was thinking, hurriedly said loudly: "Commander Zhu, your Majesty is the lord of the world, and you are the commander of the emperor's personal army. His Majesty asked you to investigate the matter, is there any need to be secretive?"
Zhu Ji quickly accepted the order.
What do the Jinyiwei do? The imperial authority has authorized them to behead first and report later. They must dare to arrest people that other yamen dare not arrest. You must do things that other yamen dare not do with great fanfare. How can the emperor act secretly? You look really good with so many Jinwu guards. Are you as good-looking as Jin Wuwei?
When Zhu Ji received the order and was about to go down, Zhu Jianshen continued: "If the investigation of this matter comes to Duke Cheng Guo, we will stop it first and let me talk to Duke Cheng Guo."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhang Bao could not help but nod secretly in his mind. Although His Majesty is young, he still has a way of weighing the pros and cons. If the Jin Yiwei really brought down Duke Cheng, it would be detrimental to the stability of the court. A clever method.
In fact, Zhu Jianshen did not believe that Zhu Shou would take advantage of his salary. Although it was already the middle of the Ming Dynasty, wars were still going on. Even if Zhu Shou had no plans, he would not dare to attack the army.
And Chen Ying is also a smart man. If Zhu Shou was really involved, Chen Ying would definitely not speak for Zhu Shou just now. The reason why he reminded Zhu Ji in this way was just that he didn't want Jin Yiwei to have a head-on confrontation with Cheng Guo Gongfu.
…………
My family lives at the foot of Changbai Mountain, and Ama often goes hunting. Although life is a little harder, it is still stable.
Things have changed since a group of people wearing armor came to my home. I heard E Niang said that these are the troops of the Ming Dynasty.
Daming, I heard Amma say that it is not cold there, there are beautiful clothes, and there are countless gold and silver. I thought the army of Daming came to take us out to that magical Daming and stay away from this place.
But I was wrong. When they came, they were just destroying our lives.
Children the same age as me were all imprisoned in camps and could no longer run out to play as often as before. My home seemed to have become a very big prison cell, and I was trapped in it, never being able to get out. go.
Ama also lost a lot of smiles on her face. She went out to fight with other tribes every day these days. E Niang was often called out and came back crying.
I think our peaceful life is gone.
There were often killings in the camp, and I saw the twisted Amma being hung on the flagpole.
I met our new leader, and his face no longer had the smile it had at that time. His face looked ugly. I took one look at him and felt very scared, afraid that he would kill me.
God of mountains and rivers, please bless us.
Let these Ming troops leave early.
Let Amma laugh again, let Niang stop crying, and let us grow up freely...
(May the world be peaceful)…………
