The Mandarin Palace, the seat of the cabinet office.

Since Xu Huizu arrived in Yunnan, the recitals of the four southwestern provinces have drifted into Nanjing like snowflakes, and the supply of money and grain, as well as the transportation of gunpowder and equipment, have all been submitted to the center, and the cabinet has suddenly become much busier than the previous year.

At this time, there are always people who want to come out of the moth, and the officials of the Huguang Division of the Criminal Department were investigating a case of counterfeiting treasure money, and they found the head of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, and the most fatal thing was that two officials of the Criminal Department died in Jingzhou, and the spearhead of the mastermind behind the scenes was directly aimed at Zhu Bai.

When the criminal department was handed into the Wenhua Palace, Tyrant Zhao couldn't sit still.

"When it comes to the prince, it should have been reported to the emperor as soon as possible, but this matter is not trivial."

Storm Zhao grabbed the twist, and the green tendons in his hands collapsed, "King Xiang is crazy, this is looking for death!" ”

Forging treasure money and killing officials without permission, no matter which crime is placed in the Hongwu Dynasty, even if he is Taizu's own son, it is enough to ask for his head. But no one wants to pursue such a thing at this juncture.

Yu Xin was sitting next to Tyrant Zhao, and his temples were also pounding suddenly at this time, "Your Majesty has worked hard to manage the Taiping world, and you must not have an incident at this time." ”

Fang Xiaoru was confused when he heard it, his political vision could not see the big influence of this matter, "The so-called prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the people, the king of Xiang violated the law of the country and killed officials without permission, so he should immediately play the emperor, and go to Jingzhou to take back the Jingshi to ask for the crime, what is there to worry about." ”

Tyrant Zhao and Yu Xin were a little speechless, and they didn't know how to explain to Fang Xiaoru, but Xie Jin stood up, "Old Fang Ge, it's easy to take a Xiang king, but the matter hasn't been ascertained yet, whether the Xiang king really made treasure money privately, whether the officials of the criminal department killed the king of Xiang, and the evidence has not been fixed to arrest a prince, the student thinks that it is inappropriate." ”

"Where is there time to wait for the evidence." Fang Xiaoru frowned, "The official of the Criminal Department who investigated the case was killed in Jingzhou, and the King of Xiang is the biggest suspect, no matter whether it was done by the King of Xiang in the end, he should be able to take it back to the Jingshi and hand it over to the Zongren Mansion and the Three Law Divisions for interrogation." ”

"Is King Xiang a fool?"

In the main hall, a Hanlin Xuezheng suddenly stood up, "The officials of the Criminal Department investigated the counterfeit banknote case, and they were killed as soon as they entered Jingzhou, this is not a clear warning to the world, the king of Xiang is the mastermind, and there is a ghost in his heart!" Obviously, this is someone who framed the king of Xiang, so he looked forward to the court and asked the king of Hunan for his crimes. ”

Tyranny shouted, "Presumptuous! Who are you, and where do we have the qualifications to speak? ”

Xie Jin is the first bachelor of Hanlin, and it is Zhu Yunwen who is appointed to stay in Hanlin as a counselor.

The man bowed and saluted, "Student Yang Yu, just because of this strange matter, the student dared to speak out in a hurry, and the student was guilty of being rude." ”

Yu Xin raised his eyelids, "Yang Yu Yang Shiqi?" I've heard of your name, you were recommended by Wang Shuying, I heard that you are very talented, but you can't be arrogant, you don't have any rules, what sage books do you read, you sit down. ”

Yang Shiqi suddenly broke into a cold sweat, "Old Xie Yuge taught." ”

Yu Xin continued, "Although Yang Yu is a little arrogant, what he said is not unreasonable. At this juncture, there is such a thing, it is indeed very strange, and we must be cautious. ”

"In any case, there is a holy order in front of the prince, and it must be played by His Majesty." Fang Xiaoru stood up, "If the two pavilion elders want to suppress this matter, I will go to face the saint." After speaking, he walked out of the Wenhua Palace.

Storm Zhao and Yu Xin glanced at each other, and they both smiled bitterly, so they had to get up together and talk to the filial piety above, Xie Jin took a look, you brothers are waiting for me, anyway, I am also a preparatory scholar, and I don't say hello.

As soon as he walked to the door of the hall, Xie Jin suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Yu, "What you said is very reasonable." ”

Yang Yu arched his hand, "The student is shallow, let the bachelor laugh." ”

Xie Jin chuckled, picked up his robe and chased out.

"Your Majesty, the Three Pavilion Reconciliation Fellows are here."

Since calling Daming, if you want to say what is Zhu Yunwen's daily homework, calligraphy ranks first, you can write a good hand of pen words may not be able to write a hand of brush words, not to mention that later generations are a lot less opportunities to write, computer files have become the mainstream, therefore, Zhu Yunwen's words at this time in the Ming Dynasty, it is really impossible to take it.

For this reason, Zhu Yunwen found a lot of sage calligraphy and put them in the palace to face the copy, when the four people came in, Zhu Yunwen did not raise his head, "Sit down by yourself, wait for me to finish writing." ”

Storm Zhao coughed lightly, "Your Majesty, there is something important." ”

Zhu Yunwen frowned suddenly, raised his head and looked at Storm Zhao, who had a rather serious expression, "Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has recently found a batch of forged treasure money. ”

Counterfeit banknotes.

Zhu Yunwen suddenly felt a toothache, Da Ming's talents are quite haha, and they even have the ability to make counterfeit banknotes, "If you find it, hurry up and crack it, and arrest the culprit to show me, who is so capable." ”

Tyrant Zhao smiled bitterly, "At present, the clues of the Criminal Department have been found on the head of King Xiang. ”

Zhu Yunwen's face changed, Zihao in his hand was put down, and Shuangxi on the side hurriedly stepped forward to remove the room and replace it with tea, "Zhu Bai is so bold?" Has the Criminal Department found any evidence so far? ”

During the family banquet, Zhu Yunwen still had some impressions of Zhu Bai, he was very handsome and sunny, and he didn't look like a master who stole chickens and dogs, you want to say that this man has a bad temper, and he kills people in the fiefdom Zhu Yunwen believes it, and secretly makes counterfeit money?

"Ugh." Storm Zhao sighed, "The matter is here, the officials of the Criminal Department went to Jingzhou to investigate the case, but they were assassinated as soon as they arrived." ”

Zhu Yunwen's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly smelled a smell of conspiracy, "What do you mean by the cabinet." ”

Fang Xiaoru stood up, "Your Majesty, regardless of whether this matter was done by the King of Xiang or not, but since the clues have pointed to the King of Xiang, and Jingzhou is the fief of the King of Xiang, it is difficult to investigate the case, and the minister suggested that the King of Xiang be brought into Beijing for interrogation." ”

"Is this your idea, or the cabinet's idea."

Yu Xin saw Zhu Yunwen looking at him, so he got up and replied, "Your Majesty, the cabinet is not unified, and the minister thinks that this matter is strange and should be postponed." ”

Zhu Yunwen shook his head, "No, forging treasure money is exploiting people's wealth, and the people of the world are watching it, so they can't help but check it." ”

Several people were discussing, and Shuangxi saw that there was a little eunuch sneaking out of his brain, so he went out to ask, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly entered the hall and muttered a few words in Zhu Yunwen's ear.

"Hehe, hehe."

Zhu Yunwen sneered a few times and looked at the unknown four ministers in front of him, "I will tell you a joke, the imperial secretary received a secret report, which was handed over by Zhu Youjiao, the second son of King Zhou, and this little brother of mine reported his father with the intention of rebellion!" ”

There was a sudden silence in the temple.
