Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse's tone was very indifferent, and it didn't seem to be mixed with any emotion, Zhao Nanxing still heard the coldness in his words, and the expression on his face was a little stiff.

"For personal grievances, for money, to celebrate the frontier, to frame the border ministers, this is the Ming Dynasty's Imperial Procuratorate, this is the Ming Dynasty's loyal officials." Zhu Youxiao said, his voice was still so calm and indifferent: "Zhao Nanxing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Zhao Nanxing was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to say it, he didn't expect these people to really dare to do this.

His Majesty called himself Zhao Nanxing, not Zhao Aiqing, which is very dissatisfied with himself. All the words he wanted to say were blocked in his throat.

"Some people may say that this is a frame-up, this is a frame-up." Zhu Youxiao didn't care about Zhao Nanxing, and continued: "After all, Wei Zhongxian is a powerful eunuch, Liu Jin and Wang Zhi, and I also understand, and I didn't want to argue with these people. After all, he doesn't believe what you say, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, but Zhao Aiqing, I want to know what you think. ”

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Nanxing with interest, and a smile appeared on his face: "Or really hand over this case to Aiqing for investigation and interrogation?" ”

Zhao Nanxing's heart sank, this matter is a hot potato at this time, no matter who it falls into, this is a very difficult thing to do.

If you want to overturn the case for these people, you have to say that Wei Zhongxian falsely accused them, but this testimony is very clear, when and where they received the money, and how they discussed collusion, and this confession is clearly written.

If these were all planted by Wei Zhongxian, Zhao Nanxing couldn't convince himself to believe it; But if you don't overturn the case and punish them severely, then you will become a traitor.

Although he didn't say it to the outside world, Zhao Nanxing knew very well in his heart what was going on with these people, this is a party, just a gentleman's party, in order to serve the country.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Nanxing and said with a smile: "Zhao Aiqing feels embarrassed? ”

Zhao Nanxing spoke for a long time before he spoke: "Your Majesty, at this time, the war in Liaodong is becoming increasingly tight, and the situation is more stable than everything. The minister did not think it was appropriate to expand the case at this time. Speaking of which, Zhao Nanxing really couldn't say any more, because he found that Zhu Youxiao's gaze towards him became extremely strange.

"Don't you dispose of it?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Nanxing and said with a smile: "Big things have turned into small things, so Aiqing is not afraid of cooling the hearts of those loyal ministers?" ”

Zhao Nanxing was speechless again, he really didn't know what to say.

After being silent for a long time, Zhao Nanxing opened his mouth and said: "The minister thought that this matter could be investigated, but there must be a limit, and Wei Zhongxian should not be allowed to interrogate him like this, which will make Li Ruzhen bite wantonly." The minister thought that it was better to hand over the case to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for interrogation, and perhaps it would be able to calm down the criticism. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled again, looked at Zhao Nanxing, a touch of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and handed it over to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department?

Zhu Youxiao can basically guess the result. It must be dragging.

I don't know when this delay will go, and I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything if I want to check it again. Moreover, if you press it too hard, maybe Li Ruzhen will die in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Don't think that these courtiers are all good, they are all obedient and sensible, there is nothing they can't do, Zhu Youxiao can't believe them.

"Zhao Aiqing, do you think this matter should be handled like this?" Zhu Youxiao lifted the blanket covering his lap and slowly stood up.

Zhao Nanxing's face was no longer calm at this time, obviously His Majesty was dissatisfied with himself, but he could only stubbornly say: "The minister thinks that it is appropriate to deal with it like this." ”

"yes!" Zhu Youxiao said with emotion: "It's appropriate." ”

Saying that, Zhu Youxiao walked to the front of his dragon book case, stretched out his hand and picked up the music on the table, and then said to Zhao Nanxing: "This is all the music of impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, there is no one out of ten, and the rest are sent to be burned." How much selfishness does Aiqing think there is in this? ”

"How many people are in collusion with each other, and how many are involved in this case? How many people are afraid of me going forward? Saying that, Zhu Youxiao threw Song Shu on the ground and said loudly: "Aiqing, you come and tell me!" ”

Although Zhu Youxiao's voice was not high, and he was not angry, the words he said were cold to the bone.

"The minister is guilty!" Zhao Nanxing hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "But Your Majesty, if you continue to be implicated like this, I am afraid that the court will be chaotic." Your Majesty, the stability of the situation is of paramount importance! ”

Slowly closed his eyes, the needle drop in the room could be heard, and after a while, Zhu Youxiao slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhao Nanxing and said, "I know, Aiqing retreat!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Youxiao walked back to his wheelchair and sat down, then put the blanket back on his lap, and said with a smile: "I will consider what Aiqing said today." ”

Zhao Nanxing stood up slowly, and suddenly seemed to be ten years old. After saluting Zhu Youxiao, he bowed and withdrew.

After Zhao Nanxing left, Zhu Youxiao suddenly laughed again: "The way of being a minister, being loyal to the text, is really ridiculous, ridiculous!" I don't dare to say a word of loyalty, let alone do things, things that are so obvious as right and wrong, but I just don't dare to say it. The truth is not important, right or wrong is not important, and this Ming is afraid that it is not important! ”

Chen Hong stood aside, so frightened that he didn't dare to say a word, bowed down and hung his hands, his heart was about to jump out.

"Tidy up the music and put it away, and let Yang Lian come in." Zhu Youxiao then returned to normal, his face was still flushed, as if what had just happened had never happened at all.

It didn't take long for Yang Lian to be brought in from another direction.

Compared with Zhao Nanxing, Zhu Youxiao has more expectations for Yang Lian.

In the original history, in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, Yang Lian ascended to the rank of Jinshi. At the beginning, he was often familiar with the county, the first honest official in the country, and he was appointed to the household department and the military department to the middle of the matter.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he was framed for accepting bribes of 20,000 taels for the 24 major crimes of impeaching Wei Zhongxian, and died tragically in prison after torture.

"Minister Yang Lian, see Your Majesty."

After Yang Lian walked in, although he felt that the atmosphere in the hall was a little strange, he didn't know what was going on.

"Yang Aiqing is exempt!" Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian and said with a smile: "I heard that you have a good deal with Gu Xian?" ”

If it is said that the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty is a word that cannot be bypassed, then Gu Xiancheng is a person who cannot be bypassed by the Donglin Party, and is respected as "Mr. Donglin" because of the establishment of Donglin Academy.

The couplet of "the sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the family, the country, the world, everything" has inspired many people in ancient and modern times, and has become the motto of many people.

When Yang Lian heard the question of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the expression on his face froze, but he still said frankly: "When the minister was young, he respected Mr. Donglin, but he was fortunate to listen to his teachings. ”
