On the fifth day of November in the twenty-fifth year of Yongzhi, the capital.

In this winter, the temperature has dropped very low, and the whole capital is covered in silver.

Although the palace was cleaned early in the morning, it could not sweep away the snow on the roof of the main hall, and the golden light of the past turned into a white expanse today.

There is only one exception in the entire imperial palace, and that is the Jade Void Palace, where the emperor is located, and the roof is still golden at the moment.

The palace people thought it was magical, and they spread it out that this was the emperor's cultivation and that he was already able to refine the snow.

But the actual reason was that the fire in the emperor's palace was hot enough that the snow could not accumulate at all.

Cultivating the Tao and refining the Xuan, the entire hall of the Yuxu Palace burned all kinds of furnaces, some alchemy and some incense, and this place has completely become a religious place.

Compared with a month ago, Zhu Yujun has become a little thinner, but his eyes are more bright, which is a change that has only been made by taking pills recently.

At this moment, Zhu Yujun was sitting on the couch, flipping through the pieces handed by the courtiers.

The recent incident made him very upset, Wang Hai, the eunuch guarding Liangzhou Town, colluded with the Hu people and wanted to subvert the guards of Lingquan Mansion.

Fortunately, the Lingquan Mansion guard found out in time and smashed Wang Hai's conspiracy, and then the governor of Liangzhou reported the situation to the imperial court.

This twist and turn entered the cabinet, and immediately caused an uproar.

Lingquan Mansion is an enclave of the Northwest Defense, and although it is harmful to the Ming Dynasty to keep him, it is a politically correct matter.

But even if Zhu Yujun had gotten the news from Jinyiwei in advance, it was only two days before and after, so he didn't have time to make arrangements at all.

So much so that now, the entire court situation is full of discussions, and the courtiers unanimously demand a strict investigation, and now almost all the folds placed in front of Zhu Yujun are about this matter.

Wang Hainai was a person sent out by the palace to represent the emperor's will, and he committed this kind of treason, which was also a huge blow to the emperor's authority.

Now the whole country is checking taxes, but the eunuchs of Dongchang are suppressing the situation, and Wang Hai's move is likely to affect the current good situation of taxation.

Picking up I don't know how many copies of the fold, Zhu Yujun couldn't help but throw the fold out of the way after reading the beginning.

I saw him angrily say: "Strictly investigate, strictly investigate...... I haven't seen them care about anything else, and when something happens in the palace, they pounce like wolves! ”

Wang Hai's matter Zhu Yujun originally wanted to deal with it coldly, but he was uproared by the courtiers, so that he was already riding a tiger.

"Is Liu Jinzhong here?" Zhu Yujun asked in a cold voice.

Yu Peizhong sent the song over, and was waved away by the emperor, and now it is Jiang He who is kneeling under the couch, the one who sent the decree to release Chen Xiaoting.

Jiang He kowtowed and said, "Back to the emperor, Gonggong Liu is already waiting outside the palace!" ”

"Let him in!"

Jiang He immediately went out to spread the word, and every moment he stayed here felt difficult.

After a while, Liu Jinzhong walked in from outside, and the famous eunuch honestly bowed in front of the emperor.

"The slave and maid ask St. Ann!"

Zhu Yujun didn't have the heart to answer his uneasy question at all, so he just listened to him: "The courtiers have made a lot of trouble in the past two days, what do you think about this?" ”

As a tool used by the emperor to suppress the ministers of Qingliu, Liu Jinzhong had to think about the problem based on this identity, so he replied: "The slave thinks ...... This matter may be able to be suppressed! ”

The answer to this question must be cautious, although he Liu Jinzhong has the trust of the emperor, but if he says the wrong thing at a critical moment, it may weaken this trust, which is directly equivalent to weakening his own power.

"Press? Can you hold it down? Zhu Yujun asked rhetorically.

At this moment, he didn't want Liu Jinzhong to guess what he meant, so he replied directly: "Since something happened to someone from Dongchang, who do you say should be investigated?" ”

In addition to the East Factory, the emperor only has the West Factory and Jinyi Wei to use, and he is even more worried about handing it over to the Criminal Department and the Three Law Divisions.

And between the West Factory and Jinyiwei, there is also a distinction between distance and proximity, among which it is naturally the West Factory that is trusted by the emperor more.

It's just that Xichang is also a eunuch, and it is difficult to shut up the courtiers, and the courtiers want to let the three law divisions investigate, and then further slap the palace in the face.

Faced with the emperor's question, Liu Jinzhong carefully organized the language in his heart, and when he waited outside the hall, he knew what the emperor wanted to ask, so he kept thinking about how to deal with it.

It's just that his response knows that his own interests are mixed in it.

For example, can it be used to suppress the people of the East Factory and enhance the status of the West Factory in the emperor's heart.

In fact, the nature of the West Factory's non-permanent organization always makes Liu Jinzhong feel a sense of urgency, so he must desperately enhance his irreplaceability.

I only heard Liu Jinzhong say: "Back to the emperor, it's better to let Jinyiwei investigate, after all, Jinyiwei is not from the palace, and he will not be criticized!" ”

This can kill two birds with one stone, first Liu Jinzhong took the West Factory out of it, and then he can calmly do things inside.

Not only that, but he also buried Jinyiwei with his words, saying that they were not people in the palace, which was tantamount to saying that these people could not be trusted.

The emperor's entanglement ended after Liu Jinzhong said this, and at this moment he decided to let Jinyiwei send someone to do it.

"That's good...... Let Jinyiwei send someone! Zhu Yujun said in a deep voice.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yujun said: "You go to give an order to the people of Jinyiwei, and you don't have to go through a lot of trouble to send ...... A general flag leads the team and brings people back for trial! ”

"Yes!" Liu Jinzhong replied cautiously.

Just as Liu Jinzhong was about to withdraw from the main hall, he heard Zhu Yujun ask: "You said that if you send such a few people, will there be an accident on the way?" ”

These words confirmed Liu Jinzhong's speculation, and the reason why the emperor sent so few people to pick up Wang Hai back was that he wanted him to die unexpectedly on the way.

So at this time, Liu Jinzhong replied firmly: "Back to the emperor, if it is peaceful today, how can there be any accidents!" ”

But at this time, perhaps out of anxiety, Zhu Yujun said again: "Maybe you can remind the people of Jinyiwei to be on guard against the road...... Accident! ”

The meaning of these words depends on how to understand it, Zhu Yujun's own meaning is to simply let Jinyiwei do Wang Hai on the road.

Liu Jinzhong replied: "The slave understands! ”

Liu Jinzhong was doing things, but Zhu Yujun was still relieved, so he waved his hand to let Liu Jinzhong retreat.

Something happened in the palace, I don't know how many people are waiting to see the joke, this incident will only tarnish the image of the palace even more, so we must give an explanation to the people of the world generously.

After arranging this matter, Zhu Yujun was about to ask the little eunuch to take all the folds away, but saw Yu Peizhong walking in from outside.

"Your Majesty, this is a report from the southeast, sent by Chen Xiaoting!" Yu Peizhong said after saluting the emperor.

"Now that the war in the southeast is raging, is it good news or bad news?" Zhu Yujun asked.

Yu Peizhong took a general look at it, and then said with a smile: "Thanks to the emperor's blessing, Chen Xiaoting sent good news!" ”

These days, Zhu Yujun has received bad news, so after hearing Yu Peizhong's words, he said: "Let's hear it!" ”

I've watched too many twists and turns today, so Zhu Yujun simply asked Yu Peizhong to say.

"Chen Xiaoting was in the south of the Yangtze River, dug out the local wealthy businessmen who colluded with the Japanese and confiscated a large number of silver, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and jewelry, equivalent to about 600,000 taels of silver!" Yu Peizhong replied succinctly.

Hearing the word 600,000 taels, Zhu Yujun suddenly became interested, and his mood improved a lot.

I only heard the emperor Zhengse say: "Let's talk about it carefully!" ”

Subsequently, Yu Peizhong told the details again, so that Zhu Yujun was more satisfied the more he listened.

In the end, he approving: "Chen Xiaoting, this person, really did not disappoint me, and all the things assigned to him were done properly!" ”

Yu Peizhong also said yes again and again, but at the same time said: "This is all the emperor's proper use of people, and he also supports him strongly, and the merit is also the emperor's credit!" ”

"I look at the future, I have to put more burden on him!" Zhu Yujun said with a smile.

Add another burden? It seems that no matter how far Chen Xiaoting goes, it is not an uncommon thing.

"Chen Xiaoting's excerpt, you put it here, and I will personally approve it later!"

Yu Peizhong naturally obeyed the order, but just as he put down the recital, he heard the bell ring outside the hall.

At this time, I only heard the emperor say in a deep voice: "It's time to enter Dan!" ”
