Lu Yunzhi smiled and said: "Bai Yong is indeed a general, but he is not a handsome talent, when the time comes, I have my own opinions, uncle doesn't have to worry, I will definitely do a good job in this matter." Then Lu Yunzhi said to Ah Rong again: "You ordered someone to find me that stunned Qingyanbei in Tianjin, and the next things need to be carried out by you and Yanbei." ”

At this time, several internal eunuchs ran in and whispered a few words to Lu Yunzhi to declare that the emperor had secretly entered the palace and waited.

Lu Yunzhi replied to the inner supervisors, and then said to a few people in the hall: "Okay, let's arrange it like this first, let's go and prepare for it, if there is a problem, we will discuss it again." Everyone dispersed, Fang Qingze took two steps and stopped, and only after everyone left did he say: "Third brother, the collusion between officials and businessmen has remained unchanged for eternity, but this time the second brother did a little bit of a mistake, and he stabbed you in a big basket, I'm sorry." ”

Lu Yunzhi said with a smile: "Okay, why did you mother-in-law and mother-in-law, didn't you say it just now, remember, you are my second brother, even if you break the sky, the third brother will give you as long as he has the ability, but I will tell you first, this time I am ruthless to rectify corrupt officials, corrupt officials, profiteers, and cunning dealers, if some officials are involved, or the interests of the second brother are damaged, you don't blame me, of course, you can rest assured, I will never touch your foundation." ”

Fang Qingze nodded, smiled slightly and patted Lu Yunzhi silently, this is brother,

Lu Yunzhi walked quickly to the side room, where sat Zhu Qizhen and Cao Jixiang in civilian clothes, the two of them were the most expensive, but they were announced to meet with Lu Yunzhi, and arranged in the side room, but the two were not unhappy at all, and regardless of Lu Yunzhi's real strength there, it was said that now the country is facing its own turmoil and is in danger, where can I take care of any face, as soon as I received the notice of the hidden hero, Cao Jixiang hurriedly told Zhu Qizhen, and the two of them hurried over,

Lu Yunzhi clenched his fists and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Minister Lu Yunzhi see the emperor." Zhu Qizhen hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother don't have to be polite, is the situation becoming urgent again, why did you ask me and Cao Aiqing to come to meet." ”

"Because what we are talking about next must be talked in secret, the palace is not very safe, and only my house can prevent the partition wall from having ears." Lu Yunzhi said lightly,

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he was shocked, the palace is not safe, isn't it a man-made sword and I am a fish, is it not another coup d'état that is about to start now, for a while Zhu Qizhen's face was pale and speechless, Zhu Qizhen's throne was not hot, and he was a little scared after several changes,

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, it's not that someone wants to usurp the throne." Lu Yunzhi saw what Zhu Qizhen wanted to comfort him, Zhu Qizhen breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Yunzhi didn't wait for him to ask a question and then said: "I'm afraid that the internal supervisor in the palace is not in the hands of Gonggong Cao, and it is inevitable that there will be eyes and ears of others, and what I want to say this time involves too many people, so I let the emperor come to the Weichen Mansion to discuss matters, and I hope that the emperor will atone for his sins." ”

Cao Jixiang smiled and said disdainfully: "What kind of person makes Young Master Lu so jealous, tell our family, I will send Dongchang and Jinyiwei to clean up those guys who don't open their eyes." ”

Lu Yunzhi was not polite to Cao Jixiang, waved his hand and said: "It's not that I'm afraid of them, it's just that the domestic turmoil that came one after another this time was caused by corruption and the inaction of officials caused by civil uprisings, so although there are constant wars now, we should have waited for the situation to stabilize before rectifying the official system, but the fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, I'm afraid that the people's anger will burn down the camp, if you don't punish it strictly, I'm afraid that the people who are suffering all over the world will reverse." ”

"Therefore, we will crack down on it now, investigate it strictly, but once the picket is involved, officials at all levels are implicated, and if they are told in advance, it will increase the difficulty of handling the case, and secondly, it will be quite unfavorable to the current war, and they will be cautious everywhere first, and then they will be cautious everywhere first, and then they will do a battle of trapped beasts after knowing the determination and strength of the imperial court, and add to our militaristic plan." Lu Yunzhi said,

Cao Jixiang was in a cold sweat behind his back, how could this Lu Yunzhi tell his corruption in front of Zhu Qizhen, but he was not surprised when he looked at Zhu Qizhen, the confused emperor in his eyes, and he didn't fight it, but just said: "Brother Lu Xian, there are too many aspects involved in this matter as you said, I think it is good to grasp the degree and not overkill." ”

Cao Jixiang secretly provoked Brother Thumb, Zhu Qizhen was not as idiotic as he looked at at the critical moment, knowing the king's way of balance, Cao Jixiang asked: "Then I don't know what Lord Lu meant by calling me here." ”

"We are all our own family members and don't speak foreign words, now in addition to the emperor's dominance, there are also four forces in the world, me, Gonggong Cao, you, Shi Heng and Xu Youzhen's remnants." Lu Yunzhi said frankly, Cao Jixiang nodded without denying it,

Lu Yunzhi paused for a moment and said: "Although you don't know about their power-grabbing and corrupt behavior, and the vassal kings around the country are also very quiet, but the imperial concubine has done a lot of things behind your back, and many of the corrupt officials and corrupt officials to deal with this time are relatives of the emperor, so it is inconvenient for me to say it in the palace, lest the eunuchs who were bribed by the harem concubines know, and now I say that it is for the emperor to make a clear statement, don't let the concubines blow the pillow wind and hinder our cleaning plan." ”

"I will fully support the virtuous brother, I will never give up halfway for one or two concubines to benefit the country and the people." Zhu Qizhen expressed his attitude, and Cao Jixiang was not easy to tense, but although Lu Yun's words were clear, Cao Jixiang himself could not take the initiative to take it on his body, and said in very artistic words: "The lower officials must also restrain their subordinates and cooperate with Lord Lu's work, once there is really a scum, I will never protect it, and I will punish it severely." ”

Lu Yunzhi hugged his fists and said: "The minister has thanked the emperor for his grace, and thank you for the support of Gonggong Cao, one of the reasons for meeting with the two of you today is to get your approval and cooperate with my work. The country now needs such an iron head, the people who dare to risk offending people and killing their heads to investigate to the end, of course, honesty does not mean ability, the problem of our Ming official system is that there are too few people, officials have to be greedy, the people who are dealt with this time are those who are greedy and incompetent, those who have to be greedy for normal exchanges and administration, capable officials I am not allowed to move, so the saint does not have to worry about overcorrection and delaying the normal operation of the country. ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and replied, "Brother Xian, don't worry. ”
