Early in the morning, Han Yi, who had just arrived at the cabinet signing room on duty, had not yet sat on the hot ass, when he saw a small sign of the Qianqing Palace hurriedly coming outside the door.

"Pavilion Elder, Your Majesty summons!"

Hearing this, Han Yi trembled, the one who should have come is still here.

After about a while, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were blazing, he sat on the throne of Xinuan Pavilion, looked at the elderly Shoufu with white hair below, and asked lightly:

"Elder Ge, Sichuan supervisor Qian Han made a big fuss about the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Kedao Yamen, but have you heard of it?"

As early as two months ago, when Liu Zongzhou came to him to discuss countermeasures, he knew that there was such a catastrophe, whether it was a blessing or a curse, and that it could not be avoided, thinking like this, he was about to get up and reply.

But I heard Zhu Youxiao laugh softly on it and said:

"Elder Ge doesn't have to get up, I will sit with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."Han Yi saluted and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the minister only heard about this matter this morning, and he is planning to discuss this matter with his colleagues in the cabinet." ”

"Tell me, what should I do with this Qian man?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself with interest:

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is a secretary set up by Emperor Taizu, and its powers are very heavy, and it makes a big fuss about the Metropolitan Procuratorate's yamen, but it can't be spared."

Wei Zhongxian listened to it on the sidelines, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse's ordinary words made him feel shocked, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Han Yi's officialdom has been up and down for many years, and he has lived for most of his life, and he is already a good person, so he can naturally hear that Zhu Youxiao's question is a pit.

Han Yi pondered for a moment, sighed and said:

"Your Majesty already has the answer in your heart, why do you still come to ask the minister?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled, curled the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Oh? Tell me, what do I have in mind about what to do with this prisoner? ”

Han Yi said directly: "If the minister suggests to His Majesty to kill Qian Han, he is against the world's scholars. ”

"But if he admonishes Qian Han to forgive, he will make a big fuss about the yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which makes the colleagues of the Metropolitan Procuratorate feel and where to put the court law."

When Han Yi said this, he knelt on the ground and said, "The old minister really doesn't know what to do, or... Let's investigate according to the law, so it can be justified. ”

After listening to this, Zhu Youxiao's face changed again and again, and said with a smile:

"You old slippery head, but you have thought through my thoughts!" Immediately, he looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was standing respectfully on the side, and said:

"This skill, you are on par with him!"

Han Yi didn't speak, but Wei Zhongxian hurriedly smiled: "Your Majesty has won the award, the old slave only knows how to serve Your Majesty, and he doesn't know anything about these court matters!" ”

I have to say that Wei Zhongxian's face is indeed a trick to deal with civil officials.

In fact, the trouble that happened to Qian Han this time, as well as the trouble of the scholars in the world, are completely under Zhu Youxiao's control.

Even, to a certain extent, it was because Zhu Youxiao turned a blind eye to the Donglin faction and private affairs reported by the Wei Wei of the factory last autumn that today's situation of boiling in the world has emerged.

But this situation is good, such a situation, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, is the happiest, this is an opportunity for the court to reshuffle the cards.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch, motioned for Han Yi to move the chair closer to him, cocked Erlang's legs and said: "I have my own plans for Qian Han's affairs, but I heard that the chaos he caused in the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time is not small. ”

"If Qian Han makes trouble alone, it's fine, but this is the opinion of the world's scholars, and I can't sit idly by."

After speaking, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian.

The latter's heart was like a rhino, and he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave has long heard the rumors, and the old slave has also heard about what Qian Han said on the post. ”

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Qian Han unveiled the post accusing fellow examiner Li Yuanxuan of using his power to seek personal gain for his students, Your Majesty, please see, this is the list of gold lists for this examination."

Zhu Youxiao glanced at it slightly, and said with some surprise: "Why do the tribute students from all over the country account for half of the people on this list, could it be that the rest of them are not good at learning?" ”

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and sneered: "Your Majesty, in fact, in addition to Li Yuanjian, there is a fellow examiner named Zheng Ipu, who has already done it." ”

"Three months ago, a pair of bird cages were hung in the main hall of Zheng's mansion, and Zheng I raised a yellow bird.

"When teasing the birds, Zheng Ipu has to reprimand the subordinates loudly, asking them to feed and water and clean the bird cages."

Zhu Youxiao really hadn't heard of this, and asked him to continue talking with great interest.

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Han Yi, who was silent, and then squinted proudly, and said, "Your Majesty, how many of the tribute students who went to the Zheng Mansion to ask for joints will not ask about birds when they see him like this?" ”

When asked this question, Zheng I Pu boasted about his yellow bird, saying that he bought it from where and where. Those tributes are sharp-eyed, so they naturally understand and send a lot of silver to the Zheng Mansion! ”

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly, and said with a warning meaning: "Wei Zhongxian, this is just your side of the story, how can the examiner of the imperial examination, a member of the imperial court, be so corrupt?" ”

Wei Zhongxian naturally understood that this was the apocalypse asking him to show his loyalty, so he was busy shouting and bowing: "Your Majesty is above, the old slave doesn't dare to have half a lie!" ”

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask your cronies to go to the Zheng Mansion and find out after checking!"

"Besides, at this time near the Xianghe River, this matter has been spread all over the people, Your Majesty doesn't believe in the old slave, doesn't you still believe in the mouth of the world?"

This tone of speech is still a leisurely mouth in the world, Wei Zhongxian, you have learned badly from those Donglin Party! A good guy represents the world in a word.

Zhu Youxiao sneered in his heart, but his face was extremely serious, and he thought for a while before saying, "In this case, this trip will be handed over to Beizhen Fusi." ”

"Pass the edict and ask Xu Xianchun to take someone to Xianghe to check the same examiner who raised yellow birds!"

After the words fell, Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yi again, and said with a smile:

"What does Elder Ge think, but it's still pleased?"

Han Yi dared to have the slightest reluctance, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no objections. If this is true, it will be a great shame since the opening of the imperial court. ”

"Indeed, if something like this happens, I don't know who I employed, I hope it's just a folk rumor!" Zhu Youxiao nodded, and suddenly remembered something, and said:

"Recently, there have been rumors in Beijing, and even I have heard a lot, is there a new branch of Jinjin named Gong Nianzhen on the gold list?"

Han Yi thought about it slightly, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a person." ”

"Then this person's uncle, is he an official in the court?"

Han Yi was taken aback at this time, and said tremblingly: "Back to Your Majesty, Gong Nianzhen's uncle is now the Imperial History of the Left Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he is a fourth-rank official. ”

Zhu Youxiao sneered, sure enough, it was the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the old territory of the Donglin Party!

"Then you can't be wrong, it is rumored among the people that this Gong Nianzhen relied on his father as an official in the court, and he learned the test questions in advance before he became a jinshi."

"Wei Zhongxian, check him out."

Wei Zhongxian is the best at this kind of thing, and immediately said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave will definitely let Dongchang investigate this matter thoroughly, not let go of a person who violates the law and discipline, and give justice to the Han Shi in the world!" ”
