Compared with the retention of a Jinyiwei's subordinates and Yu Qian's hesitation, those civil officials in the DPRK and China were still very happy to see Lu Zhen resign from the official position of Jinyiwei's commander, which even made them feel relieved.

Because everyone still remembers that it was precisely because Lu Zhen became the commander of the Jinyi Guard many years ago that this institution, which no longer had much presence in Beijing, suddenly rose, and then went out of control, and even oppressed them in turn, making them have a terrible feeling that everything is looked at by others.

So in the end, Jinyiwei is so powerful because of Lu Jin, and now that he has taken the initiative to resign from the position of commander, it will naturally greatly weaken Jinyiwei's strength, and their chance to turn over will come. Many officials even celebrated this result with good feelings.

Of course, there are also many sober-minded people who see the possible adverse effects of Lu Jin's departure. However, only a very small number of people have raised this view, but it has not attracted the attention of officials, and they are still excited about it.

But after half a month, the situation is completely different.

Because he followed Lu Jin's suggestion, Yang Zhen, who replaced him as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, decisively transferred the Jinyi Guard forces all over the city back to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, and then released the Dongchang Fanzi who had been firmly controlled by them before, and his intention was already quite obvious.

Maybe Lu Jin is not good at directly attacking those officials who are always looking for trouble with him, and Jin Yiwei can't find a suitable reason to deal with them for a while, but it doesn't mean that they have no way to fight back. Yang Zhen and they just want these civil officials to know a truth, when there is no Jinyi guard in the capital to check and balance, what a terrible existence Dongchang will become.

Wang Yue's Dongchang Fanzi really didn't disappoint them, and after learning that the strength of the Jinyi Guard began to shrink, they quickly took action. All kinds of specious charges emerged one after another, and then fell on the heads of many officials in the DPRK and China.

In just half a month, no less than 30 officials were arrested and brought to justice by Dongchang on various charges, and then tortured to extract confessions, forcing them to confess all their crimes and at the same time recruit their accomplices.

As early as last year, when Dongchang was expected to rise again, they had beaten the idea of many officials in the DPRK and China, but they were only forcibly stopped by Jinyiwei at that time. And now, as soon as the threat of Jinyiwei is gone, these Dongchang fans are completely happy, and they completely vent all the grievances they have suffered in the past half a year on those officials who have been arrested.

In those days, terrible screams could be heard from time to time near Dong'anmen, so that ordinary people did not dare to pass in this direction anymore.

The effect of this torture is still quite significant, and in only half a month, Dongchang has collected hundreds of officials' crimes. More than half of them are actually not wronged, and these adults in the court themselves cannot be completely upright and selfless, and they always rely on their positions to seek some benefits for themselves. In fact, this kind of thing is only a small problem in the officialdom, and it is impossible to study it deeply, even the Son of Heaven also knows the truth that when the water is clear, there is no fish.

However, Dongchang can't take care of these unspoken rules for the sake of Liwei this time. Not to mention that these officials do have problems, even if they are really innocent, they have to force each other with severe torture

Bear the trumped-up charges on their shoulders.

A storm involving no less than 100 officials unfolded in the city of Beijing in the twilight of spring, and many officials were directly convicted. What's even more desperate is that when Dongchang took out the evidence of these people's crimes, his colleagues couldn't even cry out for them, because these incriminating evidence did exist.

It was only at this time that the ministers knew how terrible the sudden contraction of the Jinyi Guard would bring to themselves, and finally knew how much effort Lu Jin, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, whom they regarded as a thorn in their side and the biggest threat, had been protecting them before, and had put in so much effort for this.

But by the time it was too late. At this time, everyone in the court is really in danger, and only an upright person like Yu Qian does not have to worry about being slandered and wronged, because they sit up straight and act rightly.

But even so, Yu Qian couldn't stay out of it. Because he is now the head of the cabinet, he is now the leading official in the Ming court, and now there is such a movement in the court, of course he has to calm down, otherwise if he continues to convict people in Dongchang, there will be no one available in the court.

In addition, those frightened officials also ran to the Yu Mansion for help, begging Yu Ge Lao to come forward to stop Dongchang from convicting people so unscrupulously.

After some deep thought, even though he was a little hesitant in his heart, Yu Qian still went to Lu Jin's current Hou Mansion to ask for a meeting, hoping that the other party could come forward to let Jinyiwei restrain Dongchang's actions.

What surprised Yu Qian was that this time the Lu family did not let him in, only saying that his marquis had left the capital two or three days ago to play around, which made Yu Qian stay where he was, and he didn't know how to react for a long time.

Today's Lu Zhen is an idle marquis with no official and a light body, so it is not a strange thing for him to leave the capital except to relax. However, he should have seen the recent changes in the court in his eyes, would he really leave with peace of mind?

Or is it that Lu Zhen knew his intention and didn't want to refuse his request in person, so he used this as an excuse to block himself back? Yu Qian felt that this was more reliable, but it still made him a little overwhelmed.

It seems that Lu Zhen is really determined to stay out of the matter this time, which can be regarded as his strong counterattack to those officials in the DPRK and China. Yu Qian couldn't help but put himself in his shoes, if it were him, after facing years of criticism and difficulties, would he still be willing to speak for those political enemies of the DPRK and China?

After a long groan, Yu Qiancai let out a long sigh and looked at Han Wutong who was standing in front of him: "Steward Han, the old man has a few words that I hope you can convey to Wei Chenghou." It is said that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, although Jinyiwei and civil officials have always been at odds, but if Dongchang is allowed to sit big, I am afraid that Jinyiwei may not be able to suppress them in the future, and they will still suffer at that time.

"Also, it's not easy for me to get this prosperous world and Qingming now, but I can't be ruined by these treacherous people in Dongchang. Wei Chenghou worked hard and opened the situation created by the Northern Expedition, he couldn't bear to watch it ruined by these clowns. After saying this, Yu Qian turned around and got into the sedan chair and walked away.

"That's what he said?" Lu Jin was naturally still at home, and after listening to Han Wutong's words at this time, he subconsciously wrinkled

frowned.

After Han Wutong answered yes, he quietly retreated. He could see that his own marquis was in a dilemma at this time, and this was not something that one of his subordinates could put his beak in.

Lu Zhen really felt entangled, he really didn't expect things to be so big in a short period of time. But at this time, let Jinyiwei take action, but it was a little unreasonable, not to mention that he had resigned from his official position, even if he was still a commander, he really didn't want to let Jinyiwei's brothers take risks for those white-eyed wolves.

In fact, in the final analysis, those guys are to blame, and if so, let them suffer for themselves, so why should I care about their lives or deaths?

But in this case, I am afraid that there will really be a change in the DPRK and China. Now that Daming has been defeated by all external enemies, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no chaos internally. Isn't my years of hard work just to create a prosperous world? Seeing that my long-cherished wish is about to succeed, am I really willing to watch the waves rise again?

The two ideas in Lu Jin's mind kept colliding, one after another, so that he couldn't make up his mind for a long time.

At this time, the door of the study was gently pushed open, and Chu Yunrong walked in with a bowl of ginseng soup. Seeing his husband's frowning and thoughtful look, he stepped forward to help rub his shoulder and said, "Lu Lang, do you feel embarrassed because of Yu Ge Lao's request for help?" ”

"You know that, too?" Lu Zhen raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile.

"I can't hide things from my housewife." Chu Yunrong smiled softly.

"Tell me, then, what should I do?" Lu Zhen really didn't know what choice to make at this time, so he simply asked about his wife.

But seeing Chu Yunrong smiling and shaking his head slightly: "You still ask me?" In fact, don't you already have the answer in your heart? ”

"I have an answer?" Lu Zhen glanced at the other party with some puzzlement, why didn't I know it myself?

"You hesitate because you actually want to help them. Otherwise, just say nothing and do nothing. You're only struggling right now because you don't know how to help them. ”

is the so-called knowing husband Mo Ruo's wife, this sentence completely woke up Lu Jin. Yes, does my hesitation mean that I have already moved? But how can we help them again?

The Jinyi Guard will never be used again, after all, it is impossible for him to help those white-eyed wolves with the lives of his brothers. But are there any other options?

"Actually, there are still solutions." Chu Yunrong saw the entanglement in Lu Jin's heart, and reminded again: "In addition to Jinyiwei to deal with Dongchang, there is actually a better choice. As soon as he spoke, Dongchang would immediately be able to stop fighting. ”

"You mean...... Your Majesty? Lu Jin's heart suddenly moved, and then he also laughed: "Yes, why didn't I think of this?" In fact, this situation is not what His Majesty wants to see now, right? It was only because there was not a buffer and a step that he could not interfere. In that case, I'll be the peacemaker. As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged his wife back, hugged his wife in front of him, and kissed her hard: "You are really my virtuous helper!" ”

This intimate act still made Chu Yunrong's face blush, but he also smiled like a flower......
