Before dawn, Xue Guoguan got up early, dressed neatly, and was rarely sent to the front yard by his wife.

Looking at this scene, the housekeeper couldn't help but be surprised: What's going on? Since I came to Jinyiwei in the house last night, I feel that the old man has become more energetic, and even his wife has become active, with a smile on his face, he can't hide it! Could it be ...... Could it be that the old man finally figured it out and joined forces with Jinyiwei?

He was thinking about it, and suddenly Xue Guoguan's angry voice sounded: "Well, don't sit in a sedan chair today, change horses!" ”

"Huh?" The housekeeper thought he had heard it wrong, and after confirming it, he couldn't help reminding: "Master, it's too cold this weather, it's warm to sit in a sedan chair!" ”

When Xue Guoguan heard this, he immediately said solemnly: "What is this cold? Among the Jingshi, how many people froze to death last night? What about them? Not only are their bodies cold, but their hearts are also cold, they are the real cold! ”

"......" The housekeeper was dumbfounded, the master is really different today!

Xue Guoguan didn't care about him, and immediately urged: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and lead the horse, before going to the court, turn around and look at them, move quickly! ”

The housekeeper couldn't figure it out, so he didn't dare to delay Xue Guoguan's court, so he hurriedly went to get busy.

So, not long after, the lantern with the word "Xue" led the way in front, and on the tall horse behind, Xue Guoguan, who was in a big red robe, sat on it, holding his head high, not afraid of the biting cold wind.

Along the way, the night patrol soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division saw it, and hurriedly avoided it, shrinking their heads to avoid the cold wind, and while shrinking their heads to avoid the cold wind, they all watched Xue Guoguan go away in surprise.

And the officials they met on the road, while avoiding the side, their family members also gossiped to their own master hiding in the sedan chair: "Master, look, Xue Ge is riding a horse!" ”

One by one, their heads immediately stretched out, looking at Xue Guoguan's back, they were all dumbfounded, and then there were all kinds of surprises.

"Isn't Old Xue Ge cold?"

"Xue Manzi has any nerves, can't he freeze to death?"

“……”

Some officials found that something was wrong, and secretly wondered, why did Xue Ge Lao seem to be on the wrong path, right? Don't you go to the early pilgrimage? It's not the right direction!

Among them, there was an official in a sedan chair, who should have something to do, and after criticizing Xue Guoguan, he instructed his servant: "If you see Liao and Liu on the road, you must remind the lord of me!" ”

His family had already been instructed once before they went out, and they knew that their master was referring to Yu Shi Liao Guoxuan and Yang Zhiqi, so they hurriedly agreed, and then continued to urge the sedan chair man to move forward.

At the same time, in the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen had already gotten up. Seeing that the sky was still dark, this was earlier than reading early self-study when I was in school in later generations, and I couldn't help but be speechless in my heart. At this point in time, could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang used the officials of the Ming Dynasty as sanitation workers in later generations? But even the sanitation workers of later generations were in shifts, and the Ming officials did not have morning and evening shifts in a day.

So early, drowsy, who has the energy to discuss national affairs? Emperor Chongzhen thought in his heart, so he made up his mind to go back and find a time to postpone this early dynasty.

When he walked out of the temple gate in full dress, he saw that Cao Huachun was already waiting here. So, he asked, "Missato, is there something going on?" ”

As he spoke, he "rewarded" Cao Huachun with the eavesdropping seeds recovered from Xue Guoguan. At least at this stage, Cao Huachun needs to be monitored more than Xue Guoguan.

"The slave maid has been taught by His Majesty, always remember the duties of the East Factory, and dare not slack off!" Cao Huachun bowed and said, "The slave maid also heard that His Majesty pardoned many people in the palace, but the slave maid had to be told by his subordinates, but he found a problem again. The seriousness of the matter far exceeded the expectations of the slave maid, so I didn't dare to delay for half a minute, and immediately came to play Your Majesty, and asked Your Majesty to decide! ”

When he had finished speaking, he took out a thick piece of music from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.

At this time, the advantage of the commander of Dongchang over the commander of the Jinyi guard came out, he could go to see the emperor at any time, but the commander of the Jinyi guard could not, this is the advantage of having fewer parts on the body.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he immediately understood that Cao Huachun had officially stabbed out the matter of the Imperial Horse Supervisor. However, on the surface, he remained silent, as if it was the first time he heard it, he was very surprised, and then he looked angry, and immediately reached out to take the concert from Cao Huachun, and at the entrance of the hall, under the lantern light stretched out by Chen Baoting, he looked at it.

When Cao Huachun saw that he ignored the cold and looked at the music at the entrance of the palace, he knew that the emperor could not tolerate it and that a very serious problem had been discovered. As a result, his mind was more relaxed. Because he knew that the emperor had already been so angry before he read the recital, and when he looked back at the recital, he didn't know how angry he would be! Hehe, King's Heart, you're finished!

The reason why he came over so early, in addition to the superficial reasons he told Emperor Chongzhen, was also because the movement in Dongchang was too big, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor was not a vegetarian, so he had already reacted and was likely to launch a counterattack. Therefore, he couldn't help but have a lot of dreams at night, so he waited for Emperor Chongzhen to get out of bed, and then ran over to say goodbye.

"It's the Imperial Horse Warden?" Emperor Chongzhen read the title, said in surprise, and then quickly read it.

In this recital, Cao Huachun accused the Imperial Horse Supervisor of four major crimes.

First, those people led by the eunuch Wang Zhixin, who was in charge of the imperial horse supervisor's seal, deducted military salaries, and less than 20% of them were actually distributed to the soldiers. Many soldiers even have food and clothing as a problem.

Second, the four guards and two battalions under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor actually had a serious vacancy, and there was a very serious problem of empty salaries.

Thirdly, those led by the eunuch Wang Xinxin, the head of the Imperial Horse Eunuch, abused their military power and treated them as free labor, doing private work for them and making money for them.

Fourth, there is a serious problem of corruption in the finances under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Each of these four major crimes has evidence of guilt, and it is obvious that Cao Huachun knows the Tao of it, and as soon as he makes a move, he hits the nail on the head, and he is worthy of being an old eunuch who has been in the palace for many years.

Although these four major crimes are actually a common phenomenon at this time. But that's something that can't be brought up in the open. Now that these four major crimes are presented to the emperor together, no matter which emperor it is, he will definitely be angry.

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen read it, he was very angry. He also made a point to check the date, and found that these things still existed after he made it clear that he was not guilty of the past.

So, as Cao Huachun wished, he said angrily: "It's really a shameless old thing, how can you be spared if you are so disappointed by me!" Cao Daban? ”

"The slave is here!" Cao Huachun was happy in his heart, but on the surface, he responded very seriously and immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and roared angrily and ordered: "Take down the group of dog things from the Imperial Horse Prison for me, and let them see this piece for themselves, do they recognize these things?" ”

With that, he threw the piece over and walked away in a rage.

"Slave obeys!" Cao Huachun responded sharply, picked up the piece on the ground, and with a smile, immediately turned back to the East Factory.
