Of course Zhu Ji knew the meaning of Zhu Jianshen's words, and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the censor of Xudu looked relaxed after listening to Chu An's story about Ningbo Yingning Tiancheng. I thought that this matter had little to do with him. .”
"Seriously." Zhu Jianshen's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"How dare I deceive you? I'm afraid that the current censor of Xudu is waiting for your majesty's summons outside the palace gate." Zhu Ji said quickly.
After hearing what Zhu Ji said, Yu Qian stood up from his chair and looked at his son-in-law with an unkind expression: "Zhu Ji, have you interrogated Xu Youzhen? How dare you vouch for Xu Youzhen?"
My son-in-law is becoming more and more deviant now.
In Yu Qian's view, what Zhu Ji said was completely following the emperor's thoughts. The emperor did not want Xu Youzhen to really have a problem, but whether Xu Youzhen had a problem could not be judged based on his facial expressions. evidence. biquge.biz
Even if this matter involves the normal implementation of Jiangnan's new tax system, Yu Qian is not willing to take a step back.
This is Yu Qian who can't get a grain of sand out of his eyes.
After listening to Zhu Ji's words, Zhu Jianshen thought about it. The Jinyiwei people had been supervising, and Xu Youzhen was in a very embarrassing position. So many officials were eager for Xu Youzhen to have problems. How could he dare to take so much money at this juncture? Yinzi, and what Zhu Ji meant when he said these words was not simply judged by his expression, but he had confidence in the Jinyiwei system.
It was impossible for Xu Youzhen to do so many things unknowingly under Jin Yiwei's nose.
If it is really done, it will prove that the people sent by Jinyiwei have been bribed, and this is related to Zhu Ji himself.
For Zhu Ji, protecting Xu Youzhen in this situation means protecting himself. ,
At this time, Xu Youzhen was really at the gate of the palace, calm and relaxed.
Not far away, several members of the Imperial Guard were staring at him, presumably fearing that he would abscond or commit suicide out of fear of crime.
After a while, Zhu Ji came out of the palace and saw Xu Youzhen.
"I knew that Xu Du's censor was outside the palace. It's true. Hurry, come into the palace quickly. Your Majesty will summon you."
Xu Youzhen laughed and swung her sleeves: "How can I fall asleep if I don't see Your Majesty today?" After saying that, Xu Youzhen walked directly to the palace.
After a while, they arrived at Qianqing Palace.
Looking at Zhu Jianshen, who looked calm, and Yu Qian, who looked evil, Xu Youzhen looked a little panicked on her face, but in her heart she was as calm as an old dog.
"Censor of Xudu, someone is suing you..." Zhu Jianshen said directly.
"Your Majesty, I already know." Xu Youzhen's voice was very low, and the grievances were not only reflected on her face, but also in her words.
This made Zhu Ji, who was standing aside, shake his head silently. Xu Youzhen followed him on the way into the Qianqing Palace, with a relaxed, generous and even a little bit of excitement on his face. Now that he was really in front of His Majesty the Emperor, he immediately changed his mind. Emotional, and not even a hint of showmanship.
Zhu Ji looked quite unhappy with such a coquettish look. He really wanted to wait for him on the tiger bench and serve him with pepper water first...
"What do you have to defend?" Seeing Xu Youzhen being so aggrieved, Zhu Jianshen's tone became softer.
In his opinion, Xu Youzhen was loyal to him and capable of doing things. And now, because of his own promotion, he has become a person at the forefront of this era. This kind of malicious slander has never stopped.
The only difference is that this time the slander came from the public...
The flesh on Xu Youzhen's face was trembling. He knelt down and lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have never done anything like this. I beg your Majesty, Commander Zhu, to wear a royal uniform and go to the south of the Yangtze River in person to investigate the case and return my innocence." Before that, I am willing to postpone leaving the capital until all the dust settles before leaving the capital. If Commander Zhu needs me to take off my official robe and go to Beizhen Fusi to assist the Jin Yiwei in the investigation and interrogation, I am also willing to go. "
Zhu Jianshen's face was moved after hearing Xu Youzhen's words.
He clearly knew that Xu Youzhen was retreating in order to advance, but why did the inexplicable emotion emerge in his heart...
First of all, Zhu Jianshen also has his own judgment on this matter.
Whether Xu Youzhen is in trouble or greedy is not certain, but the possibility is very small.
But Zhu Jianshen knew in his heart that at this juncture, if there was no substantial evidence that Xu Youzhen was him, he would be greedy. He would not be able to pull down Xu Youzhen, who had already been promoted. Keep it confidential in the early stages.
"Censor of Xudu, get up. I still believe in your character. The new tax system reform in Jiangnan cannot be delayed. You have rich experience in Jiangnan and will travel according to the original plan." As soon as Zhu Jianshen's words came out, Yu Qian was somewhat dissatisfied. .
What His Majesty the Emperor said was somewhat mixed with personal emotions and unfair. This made all the civil and military officials think of the young emperor. As long as you have a good relationship with the emperor, it will be your turn to face the little flying stick, and you will have nothing to do. None, wouldn’t that encourage the trend of flattering the emperor and catering to the emperor...
When Yu Qian was about to speak to express his views, Xu Youzhen did not stand up, but said first, "But now that I have a major case against me, how can I go to Jiangnan again? If my colleagues know about it, it will be detrimental to Your Majesty."
After hearing Xu Youzhen's words, Yu Qian was stunned for a moment. Isn't this what he wanted to say?
"I have my own definition of this matter."
The same words Zhu Jianshen said were also meant for Yu Qian.
"Zhu Ji, take this scholar and go to Ningbo in person to conduct a secret investigation. You will be given three months to investigate the case clearly. No matter where the money is, you must find it."
Zhu Ji quickly received the order.
After making arrangements, Zhu Jianshen asked Xu Youzhen and Zhu Ji to leave first, leaving him to deal with Yu Qian alone.
Zhu Jianshen originally thought that Yu Qian would have a lot to say after the two left, but something strange happened.
Yu Qian didn't even express his opinion on this matter.
Even if Zhu Jianshen asked, Yu Qian remained silent.
This made Zhu Jianshen a little confused as to why Yu Taibao, who had been a little excited just now, had such a big change.
"Yu Taibao, do you think I am too arbitrary and trust Xu Youzhen too much?"
After hearing this, Yu Qian sighed and said: "Your Majesty is not wrong. The new tax system cannot be separated from Xu Youzhen. Your Majesty does not want to delay the new tax system because of this matter. But your Majesty, as a king, can sincerely see what you want, and then think about it." If it is sufficient to warn oneself, and when something is about to be done, then think about knowledge to calm others; when thinking about high danger, then think about humility and overflowing; when fear is overflowing, then think about rivers and seas, and think about hundreds of rivers. Your Majesty, I just want to ask if this matter is really the fault of Xu Youzhen. Do it, the evidence is conclusive, Your Majesty, how to make a decision."
After listening to Yu Qian's words, Zhu Jian thought deeply.
I had preconceptions and trusted Xu Youzhen, but if this matter was really done by Xu Youzhen, how should I make a decision.
After a pause, Zhu Jianshen said slowly: "Act in accordance with national laws and never show favoritism..."
