"Your Majesty, according to what the ministers know so far, there are no less than 30 people involved in the case, including Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, Jiao Mengxiong, Dongning Bo Jiao Mengxiong, Zhang Guocai, Luo Zhongbo, Huang Jiuding, Cheng Anbo, Guo Zuoyong, Qi Zanyuan, Zhu Zhichen, Liang Yungou, Li Xuan, and some people in the opposition, such as Huang Zongxi and Chen Zhenhui, are all involved in the case."

"These people deserve death, and they even instructed someone to pretend to be my brother and subvert the situation, the general, we must deal with this matter severely!"

Seeing Zhu Cijiong so angry, Cao Bianjiao seemed very calm, and persuaded him, "The emperor is angry!" If it is all disposed of, I am afraid that this will be endless, the ministers are all in danger, the ministers think that this matter is not weak and can be stopped, and it is dealt with lightly, for some people can still be forgiven, it is easy to execute them, but let them reflect on what they have done for the rest of their lives, and blame themselves for their shameless behavior is the heaviest punishment, and the punishment is the best. ”

"General, what do you mean?"

"The minister thinks that it is better to treat some people who are still promising, for example, this Huang Zongxi, whose people have deep research in history, geography, astronomy, calendar, etc., it is better to send him to the land of Guangxi, the land of Liangguang, because the road is blocked, many places are still not open to culture, so let Huang Zongxi go to run a school and enlighten the people, but the court does not give him an official position and a salary, let him forgive his sins!"

"Alright! Then let the general deal with it, anyway, those who should be punished cannot be spared, otherwise where is the dignity of the national law? ”

"Obey the order!"

If Cao Bianjiao had his own thoughts, he would like to quarrel and exterminate everyone, but he also knew that it was easy to kill these people, but as he said to Zhu Cijiong, although some people are guilty, they are still very successful in culture, and it is a pity to kill them, since they have all read, then let them teach and educate people, on the one hand, they can save themselves, and on the other hand, they can make good use of their knowledge and do some useful things.

"General, I got a message during the interrogation, Lord Shi felt that the matter was very important, so I specially came to inform the general."

As soon as Cao Bianjiao walked out of the palace gate, he met Zhang Shenyan, Zhang Shenyan was also angry at what these people did, what is the difference between this and rebellion, he is ashamed to be with them, so he doesn't want to listen to it anymore.

"What's the news?"

"Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Sui, went to Zuo Liangyu's army to rebel, and wanted Zuo Liangyu to send troops to Qinwang, but Zuo Liangyu categorically refused, but Hou Fangyu did not come back, but actively started with Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng and others, and it has already worked, and now that the matter in Nanjing has been revealed, will Zuo Liangyu worry about being implicated and raise troops to the south?"

When Cao Bianjiao heard the news, his face was also full of seriousness, Zuo Liangyu was also involved, Cao Bianjiao really didn't know if Zuo Liangyu would send troops this time, after all, in history, this buddy was actively moving eastward after getting the invitation of the Donglin Party, and now at this time, if Zuo Liangyu rebelled, although Cao Bianjiao was not afraid of him, but he didn't want to fight, and all that was consumed was the internal strength of the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Bianjiao has long known that Zuo Liangyu is not in good health and will not be alive for a few years, so Cao Bianjiao's idea has always been to drag Zuo Liangyu to death, as long as Zuo Liangyu dies, with his son Zuo Mengeng's little catty, Cao Bianjiao will be more relieved, if he can not go to the civil war, this is the principle that Cao Bianjiao has always followed.

"I'll deal with this matter, at the moment, my Ming Dynasty can't stand the internal friction, I try my best to dissuade Zuo Liangyu, declare the meaning of the imperial court, he is not involved in this matter, naturally he will not be implicated, in addition, I have made a statement to the emperor, everyone will be dealt with lightly, give them a chance to reform themselves, except for the main personnel, other people can not deal with it, don't dispose of it, demote and dismiss the official, the vitality of the court can't stand the toss!"

"The general is far-sighted, loyal to the country, and admires him!"

In the past, Zhang Shenyan didn't feel very good about Cao Bianjiao, although he didn't have much resistance to Cao Bianjiao, but he was not close, but after this incident, Zhang Shenyan completely worshiped Cao Bianjiao, taking into account the overall situation, not seeking personal gain, this is really the country's virtuousness, because Cao Bianjiao can follow this opportunity to wantonly kill and eliminate dissidents, but he didn't, because he first considered the country's social welfare, which is an example for the public in the world.

"The country's plan is nothing more than those few words, heavy agriculture, business, respect, martial arts, clean government, water conservancy, if it can be done well, the country will naturally prosper and be strong, although I Cao Bianjiao is just a martial artist, but I also know these truths, the world is for the public, is the standard of my generation, Zhang Ge Lao is an understanding person, the court needs people like you to help to prosper, and I hope that Zhang Ge Lao can stick to his heart!"

"The lesson of the great general is to keep it in mind!" Zhang Shenyan also bowed down, which can be regarded as an attitude of his, an attitude of recognition to Cao Bianjiao.

Shi Kefa leaned back on the chair with a tired face, it had been almost four hours since the third quarter of the hour, and the sky was already dawning, and the midsummer sun was shining in and shining on everyone's faces.

"Slap ......" Shi Kefa suddenly shot the case, which startled everyone.

"Damn! Misleading the country and misleading the people, is this what a scholar should do, he actually aimed the spearhead at the emperor and the general for personal gain, the emperor is young, and when he is still studying, the court situation is handled by us ministers, isn't this a humiliation for us court ministers, and there are also great generals, since the general took office, he has been loyal to the country and done anything wrong, rectifying the armed forces, training elite soldiers, dealing with mediocrity, and relocating refugees, which is not a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, these people have wasted the sage books they have read for decades. ”

Shi Kefa has also been suppressed for a long time, and this moment finally broke out, he has always been patient and patient, in order to hope that the whole family will be united, the courtiers will unite, and work together for Zhongxing Daming, how can there be such a person, for his own selfishness, to do such a shameless thing, he doesn't understand, so he is angry, he can't accept it.

"Lord Shoufu, this has been tried all night, is it okay to stop for a while, I will wait to play this matter to the emperor first, no matter what, it should be played to the emperor, especially this matter also involves Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, no matter what, he is a member of the imperial court!" Yuan Jixian also said at the moment, he was too tired, none of the people present were young people, especially him, who was in his fifties, and his body was about to fall apart.

"No need! The general has already passed the word, he has already entered the palace in the middle of the night, everyone has worked hard this night, let's go back and rest, put everyone in prison, and try again tomorrow, I will go to see the general first in a while, and ask the emperor what he means. ”

Shi Kefa has already gotten the news of Cao Bianjiao, and knows that Cao Bianjiao is dealing with Zuo Liangyu's affairs, and now the matter here is done according to the rules, but Zuo Liangyu is a cannon battle, and if he doesn't get it right, it will explode, so naturally Cao Bianjiao can't deal with it.
