"The officials who stepped down have no contact with each other, and they don't have any political enemies in common! Who would do that? ”

Huo Pei'an lowered his eyebrows and pondered, he knew that Tong Yuan's words were not unreasonable. If this qiē is really deliberately done by someone, then there must be a purpose, and what is it for? For the party and government? To seize power? Or is it for the sake of taking the throne? If it is for the party and government, it must be Wei Ming, Wei Ming uses a few major cases to weaken the power of the Ministry of Punishment and Rites, but it is impossible for Wei Ming to move the emperor's military department; If it is to seize power, it is an internal ghost in the Ministry of War, and there is a struggle among internal forces, and someone wants to pull Feng Weilin off the horse, so that he can sit in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of War. However, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment have always been well water, not river water, so there is no need to involve officials from the other two ministries; Or there is a last possibility, that is, the King of Rui intends to seize the throne! But if you think about it carefully, when there was an accident in the Criminal Department of the Ministry of Rites, he Liang Yinhuan was far away in the fiefdom. And the affairs of the military department even involved him in the name of a rebel, and he was placed under house arrest for several days. In the absence of powerful henchmen, it is impossible for Liang Yinhuan to accomplish these things alone. On the whole, these possibilities seem to be reasonable, but they all have the flaw of emphasizing dà, and they all carry great accidents.

Huo Pei'an pondered for a long time before slowly nodding and saying, "What Master Tong said is also reasonable. If the Ministry of Rites and Rites of the Ministry of Mobilization and Punishment is coming for this official, then what is the Ministry of Mobilization for? ”

"Maybe we're thinking too much. Maybe it was Feng Weirin who did a lot of injustice, so he provoked the enemy to come to the door. It has nothing to do with partisanship. ”

As soon as Tong Yuan mentioned the 'enemy family', Huo Pei'an remembered the orphan daughter of the Tang clan who had bitterly expressed her grievances in the main hall that day. "By the way, where is the daughter of Tang Feng, who exposed Feng Weirin's crime that day?"

Tong Yuan said: "In order to protect the Tang family, the Queen Mother has secretly sent her out of the palace. ”

The corners of Huo Pei'an's eyes trembled slightly, and he frowned: "Then Tang Feng's daughter not only sneaked into the palace with her thoughts, but also happened to be the palace maid in the Queen Mother's palace. I can't count the number of concubines in the palace, but I just happened to enter the queen mother's bedroom with the heart of King Baorui, how can it be so coincidental? ”

"The new palace maids are all uniformly assigned by the inner chamberlain, do you think that someone in the palace responds?"

"I can't tell." Huo Pei'an suddenly felt the cold and shiver rushing from the soles of his feet to the hundreds of bones in his limbs, making him feel panic in his heart, and it was indescribable uneasiness. "You go and check the whereabouts of that Tang orphan girl to see if there is anyone behind her. If someone really deliberately disrupts the situation, I wonder who will be the next to be recruited? ”――

Changyi Palace is the sleeping palace of Emperor Liang Yinhao, and sometimes he also handles court affairs here. Recently, because of the affairs of the Ministry of War, there have been ministers who have been admonishing, some have asked for a light punishment, and some have asked for strict investigation, under the stalemate of many forces, Liang Yinhao's thoughts have been mixed like a mess, and he simply chose to stay in Changyi Palace to avoid those annoying princes and ministers.

Mu Qing came to Changyi Palace to serve today, she kneaded Emperor Liang Yinhao's shoulders and neck, and said with concern: "The emperor seems to be very tired these days. ”

Liang Yinhao rubbed his sore temples, these **** can be described as a head or two, and said in a dumb voice: "Yes, there is such a big thing in the military department, and now it is like a plate of loose sand, and it is not possible to solve it overnight if it is to be reorganized." ”

"Isn't there only one Feng Weirin in the Ministry of War, and there is no Shangshu in the Ministry of War, isn't there still a squire in the Ministry of War? No matter how bad it is, there is a history of military orders, so why do you need the emperor to rectify it personally? Mu Qing didn't think about it, and her delicate voice seemed to be coquettish.

Liang Yinhao sighed heavily, "You don't understand, the Ministry of War has always been firmly in my hands, how can a single secretary of the Ministry of War do such a rebellious thing under my nose, here are full of details and intricacies, if you really want to investigate it well, I am afraid you have to arrest most of the people in the Ministry of War." ”

Mu Qing nodded worriedly, but the movements in his hands did not stop. "This matter is indeed strict, but as the saying goes, the law does not blame the public. If the entire military department is arrested, I am afraid that it will cause turmoil in the hearts of the people in the DPRK and China! It is not difficult to reorganize the military department, but if it loses the hearts of the people, I am afraid it will not be so easy to pick it up. ”

"How could I not understand this truth? It is necessary to catch a batch and release a batch. Liang Yinhao slumped his shoulders and said weakly, "But who should be arrested and who should be released?" The relations between the DPRK and China are criss-crossed, and the whole body is affected by one hair, and the knowledge here is very big! ”

"The affairs of the court, the concubines, and the women really don't understand. But..."Mu Qing paused deliberately.

Liang Yinhao was itched by her appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, and hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”

However, the concubine felt that in addition to eradicating the traitors in the court, the top priority was to stabilize people's hearts. It's not enough to catch a batch and put it together, but also to catch a batch and reward a batch! ”

The emperor felt that Mu Qing's words were too ridiculous, and couldn't help but sneer. Reward?! It's not been a day or two for Feng Weirin to do this, and the Ministry of War is not an impermeable wall, and it is also a crime not to report it, which person in the Ministry of War is really innocent? Who can escape? Keeping their heads is already a great grace, and this woman who doesn't know the height of the sky and the height of the earth even wants to reward them herself?

Mu Qing naturally knew Liang Yinhao's thoughts, and said again: "Of course, it's not to reward everyone, but to reward those who are forced by Feng Wei's obscenity and dare not speak out." ”

Liang Yinhao's eyes crossed a different color, and he suddenly grabbed Mu Qing's hand and turned his head to look at her for some reason.

Mu Qing only mentioned this slightly, and seeing that the emperor was silent, he continued, "As the emperor said, Feng Weilin has been selling imperial court weapons privately for some time, and the amount of corruption involved is also quite considerable. And those who kept silent Although they deceived the court, they still did not get involved in the transaction and resisted the temptation of huge profits, which shows that there is still a little conscience and is not completely consumed by the desire for profit. Showing a little favor to such people will surely make them feel grateful and thus more loyal to the emperor. ”

Liang Yinhao felt that this was quite reasonable, after all, not everyone has the backbone of not being afraid of the powerful, and it is not easy to stay out of the matter. He recalled that there were indeed several such people in the list of the lower military department.

Mu Qing's cunning eyes rolled slightly, she knew that Liang Yinhao had been moved by her, so she spoke again: "Also, isn't the reason why the emperor is in trouble now is because there is no leader in the military department now?" The emperor should still do his best to choose a candidate to take over the throne of Shangshu, so that not only can calm people's hearts, but also allow Xinshangshu to reorganize the military department for the emperor. ”

Mu Qing's short words lingered in Liang Yinhao's mind, stirring up stormy waves that could not be calmed down for a long time. It took him a while before he said to himself, "New Shangshu... Who should I choose? ”

Halfway through the words, a name suddenly crossed Liang Yinhao's mind. He hurriedly straightened up, rummaging through the table stacked with folds in front of him, and finally pulled out a list from the layers of folds.

Liang Yinhao said happily: "Found it!" Yue Xuan, the squire of the military department! ”
