Li Dongyang has always acted cautiously, so he has always had reservations about the actions of Hong Zhong and others, and there are also many rumors within the Shi Party that Li Gelao is too cautious and too pessimistic. [No pop-up novel network]

However, the day after he and Yang Tinghe met Tu and Hong, he was surprised to find that this time, his ominous premonition seemed to come true again, because those two people had indeed disappeared.

In the morning, the two of them did not participate in the court meeting, and when Li Dongyang sent someone to inquire about the two houses, the response was also very strange, the Hong family had become a mess of porridge, and they were already planning to go to Shuntianfu to report the case, which was a normal reaction.

But the reaction of the Tu family was strange, the subordinates all looked ambiguous, as if they knew something, but when they asked about it, they all refused to tell the truth; turned to meet Mrs. Tu, but the result was also ridiculed.

Of course he didn't know that the old lady was jealous, the officials sent by Li Dongyang were only angry, and his own master was still like this when he disappeared, and while scolding the Tu family, he was also slandering Tu Tu's family in his stomach and having no way to govern the family. I can only leave angrily.

In desperation, Li Dongyang had no choice but to come forward in person, and the people under the Tufu Mansion did not dare to hide it when they saw Shoufu coming in person, and they told the truth what they heard, saw, and privately speculated, and Li Dongyang couldn't cry or laugh after hearing it.

The two people involved in the plan have a good sense of confidentiality, but as a result, such a misunderstanding was caused, that Mrs. Tu was old but still cared about being jealous, and as a result, the news of Tu Tu's disappearance had to be reminded by an outsider.

According to common sense, this should be the butcher looking for himself to cry, right?

Just like now...... "Elder Li Ge, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, my lord is working hard, can you ignore it!" "Seeing that Li Dongyang is here, where does Old Madam Tu not know that the big thing is not good? At this time, she was no longer jealous, and begged Li Dongyang to call the shots.

"Sister-in-law's peace of mind is that the same people in the DPRK and China will not let Brother Chaozong have an accident, you first tell me carefully what happened to Brother Chaozong before he went out......

Dedicated? If you really believe in your father-in-law's words, what kind of flying vinegar did you eat earlier? Li Dongyang is also very depressed, he is a university scholar, and he is not Shuntianfu Yin, so it is not his responsibility to find the lost population at all.

But then again, it is also a question whether this matter should be taken over by Shuntianfu, and the two lost are not civilians, but the Shangshu and the Imperial History of the Dynasty, so it seems inappropriate to find them as missing persons.

The facts of this case are not complicated at all, but when you dig deeper, it has set a precedent for the Ming Dynasty, when the case of the disappearance of the imperial book!

From the analysis of the appearance of the case, most people will come to a conclusion similar to that of the Tufu people, Li Dongyang is an insider, but who dares to announce the matter that the two people are planning to proclaim? Even if the safety of the Tu and Hong families is not considered, what about the families and officials involved in this matter?

Don't look at the number of people, but the law does not blame the public, this kind of thing is not universal today, and it is very troublesome to fight as much as possible, but the emperor is now using the aftermath of the account, which is originally a water mill.

Find an excuse to get rid of the two today, and find a stubble tomorrow, from the day when the emperor went to court normally to now, unconsciously, the loss of the scholar party has been very heavy.

Although the local losses were relatively small, except for the three border towns, only Gyeonggi, Shandong, and Hebei had relatively large personnel adjustments, but the DPRK and China suffered heavy losses, and the losses were all the backbones, such as Zhu Qin, the governor of Shandong.

What's more, this trend also shows the determination of the emperor, and while the power of the imperial party is soaring, everyone in the party is also in danger.

The most direct impact is that this year's collection of taxes by the imperial court from the local government is much smoother than last year, and while the backbone is destroyed, there are many more people at both ends of the rat head who are ready to ride the wall, and it is impossible for the Shi Party to set off a political storm in the world like last year.

In such a situation, how dare Li Dongyang tell the truth? Even if the worst happens, that is, the two were secretly arrested by the emperor and tortured to get the truth, Li Dongyang will deny it to the end.

After all, those two people mainly played the role of running power, and their knowledge was limited, and it was him, Wang Wei, Yang Ting, and these leaders of the Shi Party who really planned in the middle.

So, this disappearance case felt very tricky for him.

Looking for people, the resources that the Shi Party can mobilize are too few, and the capital is so big, what is the use of just a Shuntian Mansion? Please ask the emperor to issue an edict and mobilize Jinyiwei to find someone, not to mention that the person was likely to be arrested by Jinyiwei, even if it wasn't, Li Dongyang couldn't think of how he could let Zhengde help with this.

After listening to the description of the Tu family, he felt that the prospects were even less optimistic, there was no proof of this, the two of them sneaked out, except for their own family, no one knew, where to reason?

"Sister-in-law and relieved, the old man already has some eyebrows about where the brother of the court is going, and he will take action after discussing it with his colleagues in the court. Before that, Mrs. Sister-in-law must be calm and not impatient, and don't leak the news, lest the bad guys see that the situation is not good, and it will be bad to poison the Chaozong brothers. ”

"Elder Li Ge, do you mean that my lord was kidnapped?" Although Mrs. Tu was a little impulsive when she was jealous, which caused her IQ to drop a little, after calming down, she was still very shrewd, and as soon as she heard Li Dongyang's words, she immediately thought of a certain criminal pattern.

"Maybe." Li Dongyang is actually not purely making up, except that the other party did not ask for ransom, in fact, Tu Tu and the two are really similar to being kidnapped, of course, this is when his guess is true.

"In short, Mrs. Sister-in-law just wait with peace of mind, restrain the whole house, and don't leak the news." The reason why I told him repeatedly was because this matter was too shocking, and after it spread, it was likely to affect the image of the scholar.

"The old body knows." Seeing Li Dongyang's solemn expression, Mrs. Tu solemnly agreed.

…… In the past, Li Dongyang would have convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures, but this time, he did not do so.

Although he did not have any definite information, he had vaguely heard of the midnight system that spied on the emperor. From the name alone, of course, he had no way to know the details, even if he knew that Midnight's leader's code name was Li'er, it was useless, if it wasn't insignificant, this kind of news would not have been leaked out in the first place.

Knowing the existence of such an intelligence agency that is more terrifying than the factory guard, Li Dongyang will certainly not act with great fanfare. You must know that in the face of the overwhelming strength of the imperial power, the current scholar party can only be obscure, temporarily avoiding the edge, and there is a tendency to gradually go underground to work, at this time, how dare Li Dongyang expose too many colleagues?

In the end, he could only pretend to be okay and went to Yang Tinghe's mansion, they had already been targeted, and they couldn't hide if they wanted to.

“…… Jiefu, what do you think? After explaining the whole story in detail, as well as his own analysis, Li Dongyang looked at Yang Tinghe with expectation, hoping that the other party could point out his mistakes and omissions and put forward a less terrible possible surname, he really hoped that he was too pessimistic.

"Brother Xiya is worried, with the younger brother thinking about it, Hong Xuanzhi and they are likely to be in the ......" Yang Tinghe pondered for a long time, and when he looked up again, his voice was already a little hoarse, he looked in the direction of the Forbidden City, and let out a long sigh.

If so, how can we save them? Is there a good way to deal with a husband? Reaching such a consensus, Li Dongyang also chuckled in his heart, although he asked the question, but in fact, he also knew in his heart that eighty percent could only do his best to obey the destiny of heaven.

"I'm afraid it's ......very difficult," Yang Tinghe shook his head, "Based on what you and I saw yesterday, Hong Xuanzhi and eighty percent of them fell into the trap, and this is the situation in the palace, it can almost be concluded that they have fallen into a trap." If you just want to get rid of the two officials, you don't need to be so troublesome, so you won't give up easily. ”

"But colleagues, I can't just watch, right?" Li Dongyang didn't know these causes and effects, but he still felt that no matter what the result was, he had to at least work hard to make sense.

"Of course not, Ming said that the early dynasty, we should advise the Son of Heaven, at least we have to mobilize the factory guards and the five cities to search the capital." Yang Tinghe said categorically.

"Jiefu's words ......" Yang Tinghe's words were inconsistent, which made Li Dongyang a little puzzled.

"Brother Xiya, if you care, it's messy." Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice: "Think about it, now that the emperor can use this method to deal with Hong Xuanzhi and Tu Chaozong, how can he be good to you and me and all the colleagues in the court?" The emperor was bewitched by Xie Hong, but there is always a law to follow in his previous actions, but if this precedent is set, how can the court be at peace in the future? Isn't the oppression of the scholars even greater? ”

Li Dongyang was only concerned about saving people before, and he really didn't think as far-reaching as Yang Tinghe, and when he thought about it carefully, cold sweat was also pouring down his forehead.

In fact, in the past year, Zhengde's actions have made the scholars sad, but in the final analysis, his strength has not surpassed that of Hongwu and Yongle dynasties. The tastes of the scholars were nurtured by the previous emperors of Hongzhi and Chenghua, so they were so uncomfortable with the strong emperor.

But today it's a bit too much.

It is an ancient precept that the punishment is not a doctor, and there is no such thing in the Daming Law, it is an unspoken rule that has been agreed upon by the scholars after they take power. Therefore, whether Zhengde killed Liu Daxia before, or the big layoffs in the past few months, there are precedents to follow in Daming.

Although the first nine sides are ruthless enough, Emperor Taizu's skinning and adding grass is not very merciful, so for righteous behavior, the scholars can still pinch their noses and endure it.

But now it is obviously different, if you want to arrest it, if you want to kill it, you can kill it, and you don't even say hello, the emperor's actions already belong to the category of terrorist politics. If the politics of terror is also in vogue, then who will dare to stand up for the right path?

"The scholars and the Son of Heaven ruled the world together, which was the time when Taizu founded the country, and he was afraid that the Heavenly Family would have no descendants in the future, and the imperial power would not be restricted, which would endanger the national policy of the Ming Dynasty. And when what today's son is doing is challenging the ancestral system set by Taizu, even if we can't save Hong and Tu, we should let the emperor know what can be done and what can't be done. ”

Yang Tinghe's tone became more and more passionate, and in the end, he even started to shoot the case, and his words were loud.

"That's right, so be it." Li Dongyang also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately made a decision.
