"Jin Yiwei commanded a certain bin to be loyal and upright, not the kind of big traitor, he shouldn't make a big deal." Liu Jian on the side said.

Xie Qian glanced at Liu Jian, snorted coldly, and then said, "Zhulian? These people still need to be planted, none of them are innocent, we know that the history of the salt patrol is fat, but this is too fat, right? More than 2 million taels of silver money alone were copied, and more than 3,000 hectares of fields in my hometown were copied, what is this for? Such a person should be killed. “

"I think let's leave this matter alone, investigate, investigate to the end, arrest whoever is implicated, and judge how you want!"

After glancing at Xie Qian, who was slightly excited, Li Dongyang persuaded: "Gong Xie, don't be rash, the question now is not to investigate these people or not, but what to do with Yanzheng, the whole thing was made by Shou Ninghou from the beginning, he just wants to reach out to Yandao, this is the key to the problem." ”

"The first thing was that Shou Ning Hou entered the palace to ask for salt lessons, but His Majesty refused, and was reprimanded by the prince, so Shou Ning Hou thought of another way."

"Judging from the process of the whole thing, Shou Ninghou contacted Xungui and Dongchang at the same time, and the two sides attacked at the same time, and made a salt and iron division in the court, holding the power of salt administration in his own hands. At the same time, Dongchang is doing it in Yangzhou, with the aim of getting rid of the Yandao officials and replacing them with their own people, which is why Yangzhou is making such a big fuss. ”

"Take out the salt road officials and the local disobedient salt merchants, so that Shouning Hou has a salt and iron division, and there are local officials and salt road officials who are attached to him, so that the entire salt road of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Shouning Hou."

Li Dongyang said as he spoke, and his face became that look: "If this is really the case, then it will be troublesome, Shou Ninghou is insatiable and fills his pockets, if the salt road really falls into his hands, then the salt road of the Ming Dynasty is not the salt road of the Ming Dynasty." We must stop this matter, and we must not let Shou Ninghou turn the salt road into his private property. ”

After listening to Li Dongyang's words, Liu Jian stroked his beard and said with a slight hesitation: "I'm afraid this matter won't be so simple." ”

"Shou Ninghou, we all understand, that is, a person who is not a weapon, who is indecisive, fierce and timid, who does big things and spares his life, and forgets his life when he sees small profits, how can such a person have such a sophisticated layout? This game is interlocking, and when it is exquisite, a little carelessness is a failure, and it is definitely not something that a person like Shou Ninghou can do. ”

"Now isn't the time to worry about that, is it?" Xie Qian said on the side: "No matter who is giving advice to Shou Ninghou, the top priority is how to solve this matter. ”

The three of them were silent again, of course, the best way is to snatch the right to handle the case, but looking at the current situation, it is not easy to snatch the right to handle the case, after thinking about it, Li Dongyang opened his mouth and said: "We have more than one Lianghuai salt field in Daming, and this salt road is not something that can be decided by a two-Huai salt field, since the two Huai salt fields cannot be saved, it is better to start from several other salt fields." ”

"If you don't start now, it is estimated that the other salt farms will not be able to keep it by then, and with these salt farms in hand, at least the salt road will not be in the hands of Shou Ninghou."

Liu Jian nodded and said: "This move is very good, let's find someone to draw up a question book, since this is the case over there in the two Huai salt farms, the other salt farms are estimated to be similar, you can check it, this time we can take the initiative, even if the two Huai salt farms are collected by Shou Ning Hou, we also have the power to protect ourselves and fight back, send someone to keep an eye on a point, once Shou Ning Hou has lawlessness, we can impeach him." ”

"One more thing!" Xie Qian, who was on the side, opened his mouth and said: "If you want those people to accept it when they see it, Your Majesty has already disposed of Shouning Hou, and you can't let those people chase and bite." “

"If you still chase and bite at this time, it will definitely backfire, and once you anger Your Majesty, then things will really be difficult to handle."

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian glanced at each other, then nodded and said: "Yes, this matter must be done quickly, tell the people below to restrain them, don't go to the question book casually, in addition, we will also thoroughly investigate the question book of other salt farms tomorrow, Liangzhejiang and Changlu must keep an eye on it, and there can be no more mistakes, if someone is on the question book, get him out." ”

The cabinet quickly reached a consensus, and the holy decree soon arrived in the Shouning Marquis Mansion, and the news quickly spread throughout the capital.

Sending off the official who sent the decree, Shouning Marquis Zhang Heling returned to the house expressionlessly, his younger brother Jianchang waited for Zhang Yanling to follow behind Zhang Heling, after entering the house, Zhang Yanling couldn't help it first, and hurriedly said: "Brother, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" Is it really to deal with us as those civil officials said? ”

Glancing at his younger brother, Zhang Heling frowned slightly, why didn't he find out that his younger brother was so stupid before?

Originally, I thought that my brother was the same as myself, and the two of them could discuss anything together, but now I found that my brother was simply a fool, why didn't I find out about this problem before? Soon Zhang Heling thought of the reason, since he played with the prince's nephew, his eyes were opened, and his scheming was rising slowly, and he felt stupid when he looked at his younger brother again.

Zhang Heling actually has a feeling of looking in the mirror, isn't this his former self? Were you so stupid before?

Glancing at Zhang Yanling, Zhang Heling said directly: "What do you know, what is this, this is Your Majesty protecting us, aren't those courtiers participating in us?" It's gagging them. ”

Zhang Yanling pouted: "What kind of protection is this?" Our people have been taken, so who will do things for us after that? What are we going to eat? I said a long time ago, don't mess with those civil officials, we can't mess with them, okay this time? ”

"You know a!" Zhang Heling couldn't help but burst into foul language: "What's the use of those subordinates? What can they do? Besides, if you have money, you're afraid that you won't find anyone? In the future, it will be the East Factory, the Jinyi Guard, and the Shuntian Mansion. Those lands, those lands are worth, do you know how much the thing sent by Liu Qi is worth? You can't harvest that much if you plant it all your life. ”

"Once the salt road is in our hands, it will be the golden mountain and silver sea, and when the time comes, I will still care about that bit of land, and I will immediately follow the holy decree."

"You, you will do it as soon as you go back, cooperate with the investigation of Shuntianfu and the inspectors, and return it to Zhuangtian, let people compensate for the grain, and also know that the nobles and relatives who are doing business with us this time, do it together, our family will also be an example of the nobles and relatives, the family of goodness, you know? Rampant and domineering is not our Zhang family's style. ”
