"Minister Hanyi, see Your Majesty." After Han Yi saluted Zhu Youxiao. Said respectfully.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, waved his hand gently, and said directly: "This is not in the court, Aiqing doesn't have to be so polite." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Hong and ordered, "Sit." ”

After Han Yi sat down, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Aiqing came today, but is there something?" ”

Regarding Zhu Youxiao's pretending to be stupid, Han Yi couldn't be clearer in his heart.

He knew that this was because His Majesty didn't want to hear those things from him, and if he quit now, then His Majesty could treat them as if they hadn't happened.

But no! Han Yi couldn't watch this matter get worse and worse, if it continued, it would not be one person or two people who would be implicated.

Thinking of this, Han Yi turned his heart sideways and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here for the Xiong Tingbi case." ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Yi and asked with some curiosity: "Is it for this matter?" I don't know what Aiqing wants to say? ”

Although His Majesty's tone was very indifferent, and there didn't seem to be anything hidden inside, Han Yi knew that things were far from that simple.

If it is said that there is no support from His Majesty behind what Wei Zhongxian did, Han Yi will not believe it in any way. It's just that there is no way to find out about this matter.

After pondering for a moment, Han Yi opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Feng Sanyuan's words are not enough to be believed. ”

Listening to Han Yi's words, Zhu Youxiao smiled, sat up straight and looked at Han Yi, "How do you say this?" ”

Han Yi was stunned, how do you say this?

It's not that you talk about it with your mouth, and you don't have any evidence.

However, Han Yi still has a statement, "Your Majesty, Feng Sanyuan's words have no substantiation, and they are really framed. Although some of the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government do not cultivate their personal virtues, and some people make mistakes when they do wrong, they do not form a party for personal gain. The courtiers should not serve the king with the party, and the king should not suspect the ministers with the party, so that the monarch and the minister can accompany each other. If His Majesty makes a big move today because of Feng Sanyuan's words, it will inevitably make the monarch and ministers deviate from morality. ”

The expression on Han Yi's face was very serious, his expression was serious, and his feelings were sincere. Obviously, those words of his came from the heart.

Zhu Youxiao could see it, but he didn't take it to heart, but smiled. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, and sure enough, everyone in the Donglin Party would say.

Glancing at Han Yi, Zhu Youxiao didn't let him continue, but asked directly: "Aiqing's words are very reasonable, I think so." The courtier should not serve the king with the party, and the king should not doubt the minister with the party, which is very good. If I don't suspect the ministers with the party, won't the courtiers serve the king with the party? Isn't Xiong Tingbi's matter obvious? ”

"What is the purpose of Taizu's establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? Tell me! When he said this, Zhu Youxiao's face was no longer smiling, and his voice had improved a lot.

Han Yi suddenly felt bitter in his heart.

Speaking of which, Han Yi didn't know about the that those people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate did.

The impeachment of Xiong Tingbi was led by Yang Lian and others, not Han Yi.

As a cabinet scholar, Han Yi naturally would not get involved in these things. But forcing Xiong Tingbi away and putting Liaodong under the control of his own people, Han Yi knew.

However, all he knew was to force Xiong Tingbi away. Because he also doesn't look down on Xiong Tingbi.

In Han Yi's opinion, Xiong Tingbi is talented, short-tempered, and Fang Congzhe's old age, so he naturally has to take it.

It's just that Han Yi didn't expect that there was collusion with Li Ruzhen here.

You must know that your relationship with Li Ruzhen is not good, Li Rubai and Li Ruzhen's brothers were guilty and should be arrested and punished, but the eunuch issued a decree to pardon them.

It was himself and Liu Yixiao who performed and arrested them in accordance with the law.

But this reminded Han Yi of something.

That is, after Li Ruzhen was arrested, many people had said good things in front of him.

The reason is the same, Li Ruzhen is a member of the Li family in Liaodong, and the Li family is deeply rooted in Liaodong, so it is not appropriate to make a big move. Now Liaodong Jiannu is rampant, if Li Ruzhen is severely punished at this time, it will inevitably make the Liaodong soldiers deviate from morality, which is not conducive to the Ming Dynasty's extermination of Jiannu, and is not conducive to the stability of Liaodong.

At that time, I felt that what these people said was reasonable, they were dedicated to the country, but they were the actions of a gentleman.

Looking back now, how much selfishness is hidden in this? How many people came to me to intercede after being bribed by the Li family?

Thinking of this, Han Yi was in a bad mood.

However, this time the matter still cannot be expanded, and a few can be dealt with as appropriate. Otherwise, the turmoil in the court and the restlessness of the officials are not the blessings of the Ming Dynasty, but the beginning of turmoil.

Although today's Daming is not shaky, it is really a loss of vitality, and it is really not appropriate to make a big move at this time.

What's more, Han Yi still believes that those people are just black sheep, and if they are cleared, there is no need to be widely implicated and concocted a big case.

However, looking at His Majesty's attitude at this time, it is not easy for me to persuade Your Majesty. Thinking of this, Han Yi was a little helpless.

Faced with Zhu Youxiao's question, Han Yi couldn't help but answer.

He said directly: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate should be an example for hundreds of officials. ”

After saying this, Han Yi was a little frustrated.

What these people are doing!

Collecting money to impeach the frontier minister, how can such a person be worthy of being the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Especially those villains confessed to Li Ruzhen when they were in Dongchang, and they retracted their confessions when they arrived at the Three Law Division; Now that Wei Zhongxian is trying the case, they have retracted their confessions again. has no integrity and bottom line to speak of, it is simply a shame of the world!

For these people, Han Yi wanted to kill them.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, looked at Han Yi and said, "Aiqing said it well, for the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven." But how do these people do it? Accept people's money, impeach others, and frame border ministers! Is this still the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven? In my opinion, it is light to condemn them as dereliction of duty, accepting bribes, and framing courtiers, and they should be directly condemned as bullying the king! ”

Han Yi was horrified in his heart, but he was not worried that Zhu Youxiao would really condemn these people as the crime of bullying the king. What worried him was the anger shown by His Majesty.

This incident obviously made His Majesty no longer believe in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, no longer believe in them Qingliu officials, and instead believe in Wei Zhongxian.

It seems that the matter is far more serious than I thought.

"Your Majesty," Han Yi hurriedly said: "Although there are a few black sheep in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, most of the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate is still conscientious and loyal and patriotic. The minister thought that it was a top priority to strictly purge the Metropolitan Procuratorate and eliminate the black sheep. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled again, looked at Han Yi and asked casually, "Does Aiqing think this case should be thoroughly investigated?" ”

It's a heart-wrenching problem.

If you say you shouldn't, then what you said before is nonsense, and you don't have to sit in the position of a cabinet scholar;

If you say yes, then you have to look it up.

Now that the matter has been set up here, Han Yi can guarantee that once he says that he should, he will hear the news spread all over the capital after he leaves the palace!
