Moreover, it doesn't work if you don't ask, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces doesn't say it, she is already dissatisfied in her heart, and the cabinet is also waiting for news, waiting for them to ask, it won't look good on face.

It has always been a matter of great deal for the ministers to discuss the crime by the ministers and the criminal department, and the cabinet will meet to win the trial, and the edict issued by the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the king of the council and the scholars will handle it together with the criminal department, which is not a trivial matter.

In any case, the king should convene a meeting before it is done. Therefore, Prince Gong accepted Wenxiang's opinion, consulted the cabinet, and held regular meetings.

In advance, Prince Gong got the news: Zhou Zupei, a scholar, and Li Tangjie, the minister of military aircraft, had a fierce attitude, and they had already said that it was not enough to strictly enforce the national law.

King Gong has a plan in his heart. So on the day of the cabinet meeting, let Zhou Zupei and Li Tangjie denounce Shengbao, and teach them to vent their anger first.

When he met the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces in the Yangxin Palace the next morning, Prince Gong didn't mention it at all.

And the Empress Dowager Cixi just remembered.

After finishing the other irrelevant chapters, she said with a pleasant face: "The mourning family often thinks that so many people in and outside the capital are doing things, and in the end, it is up to us monarchs and ministers to make up their minds;

Not everything can be done; People, not all of them can be convinced, as long as we can explain it in our own conscience, we can't control so much. Sixth Master, you said that, didn't you? ”

Prince Gong said: "The minister is to repay the grace of heaven with a loyal heart." ”

"Yes! But how can you be worthy of your conscience? From the perspective of the mourning family, there is only one word 'gong'. She stopped, and looked around each of the military ministers with a calm gaze, giving people a sense of not being angry.

With her two deep words, I couldn't help but feel worried, and I didn't know what reproach she had to say.

"Take He Guiqing's case as an example," the Empress Dowager Cixi still looked leisurely.

"He is not the only one who has lost his teacher and land, so why should he cut off his head? At that time, the mourning family thought that if the mourning family was the master alone, he would definitely be spared, and the dismissal would never be used, which would be enough for him. However, many people said that the overall situation is improving, and it is necessary to rectify the discipline program in order to calm down the chaos. I had no choice but to be convicted of 'execution after the autumn'. ”

Then he said: "Thinking of Shengbao, the mourning family is also sad, he is a feudal official, he has the responsibility to defend the land, and he can't live and die with the city, saying that it is to rectify the discipline." The words are good, I heard that he is still a student in Nian Qianyao, and he thinks of the imperial court! If you kill He Guiqing, you will have a discipline outline, so you won't mention the discipline outline when you win the insurance? ”

"This is injustice, how can you convince people and be sorry for their conscience." She raised her head and looked at all the ministers of military aircraft: "All of you, look at the words of the mourning family, can you say it fairly?" ”

Prince Gong couldn't help but bow his head and said, "The ministers listen to Yi's decree." The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and said, "The mourning family just said it casually, you can discuss it!" This is powerful enough, and everyone can't help but be wary.

Only Prince Gong was different, although he was aware of the sharp edge in the Empress Dowager Cixi's words, he didn't take it seriously, and still thought according to his own thoughts, thinking that it was not appropriate to be in a hurry, and let Shengbao live in the criminal department for a few days.

At first, because of the severity of the edict, it looked like the year before last, as if he had asked Su Shun the year before, and once he was arrested, he would be executed, and everyone did not dare to make a visit for fear of getting into trouble. Slowly, I saw that the situation was not as strict as I imagined.

The attitude of Prince Gong has been made clear to the outside world, and everyone unanimously deduces that there will be no severe punishment in the future of Katsubo. As a result, relatives and friends are old, scruples are gradually disappearing, and Shengbao is not left out in the cold.

Some of those visitors were just to offer condolences, and some were here to report the news and discuss business. One of them was the most faithful:

Cai Shouqi, the word Mei'an, Jiangxi Dehua people. Daoguang 19 Jinshi, once entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor. This position can be regarded as an advisor to the emperor, and there are more opportunities for promotion than ordinary officials.

But he has been an editor for many years and has not been promoted, so he speculates everywhere. He first rushed to Sichuan, hoping to step on a way to get promoted and make a fortune. He really dared to defend himself privately, recruit villagers, control official affairs, and swagger.

Soon, the new governor of Sichuan, Luo Bingzhang, was very unaccustomed to his actions, and ordered Liu Rong (the former general of the Hunan army) to drive him back to his hometown in Jiangxi, which made him feel quite embarrassed, and immediately saved the idea that he would avenge himself in the future.

After that, he took refuge in Shengbao, who was encircling and suppressing the Hui uprising in Shaanxi, and served as a staff member under Shengbao.

Cai Shouqi lowered his voice and said, "Prince Gong is okay, he has been holding it down. However, it is difficult to guess what this means. Maybe it's because the 'Westside' is angry, and when she is out of breath, things will be easier to take off. ”

"You mean wait?" Sheng Bao frowned slightly and said, "What day are you going to wait for?" ”

Cai Shouqi said: "As long as those two people don't say a word, things will soon take a turn for the better." ”

"Those two?"

"University scholar Zhou Zupei, Minister of Military Aircraft Li Tangjie!"

Katsuho snorted and said, "Wait and see!" I don't buy these two people's accounts. ”

"Ke Shuai, as the saying goes: how dare you not bow your head when you have passed under the eaves?" Cai Shouqi persuaded him.

"Mei An, thank you for coming to see me." Cai Shouqi was silent. Seeing that he was still so arrogant and arrogant, I was quite disappointed.

Prince Gong changed his attitude in the past and handed over the case of Shengbao to Zhou Zupei and Li Tangjie to manage. However, he made this statement to Li Tangjie: Focus on the overall situation! And if there is a glimmer of extenuating circumstances, you may wish to be lenient.

Li Tangjie was accused by the Empress Dowager Cixi, and he was angry, and when he saw Prince Gong's authorization, he naturally would not delay. Zhou Zupei, as a scholar and the envoy of the "Management of the Criminal Department", was extremely convenient in handling affairs, so he sent someone to the Criminal Department to inform him at that time, and the next morning, Chuan Shengbao went to the cabinet for questioning.

Seeing that it was an order from Zhou Zhongtang, the officer of the Criminal Department, he did not dare to slack off, and confined him in a small room until nearly noon, when he opened the door and brought him out.

"Shengbao! You have set on the army and the people, and you have been greedy and arrogant, and it has not been a day, do you have a guilty conscience? Zhou Zupei asked.

"It's not a day, why don't you ask it as soon as possible?" Katsuho sneered slightly.

Zhou Zupei was extremely unhappy in his heart, and his questions were extremely harsh. Just after entering Shaanxi, he asked for two hours when he reported his military exploits, and then ordered him to be sent back to the Criminal Department.

So I asked every few days, and each time I only asked one or two things, or repeated what I had asked before.

There are also many people who ask, but there is Zhou Zupei roughly every time.

In this way, for two months, it dragged on.

Everyone knows that it won't take long for the Military Aircraft Department to find a random reason to reply to him.
