There is Jiangyin scholar Xu Jing who was killed by the Tartars in Yongfu Temple!

When such a news spread in the capital, it immediately stirred the nerves of many people. The elders in high positions may be dizzy with age, but since they can still be in their positions, they will naturally keep these things in their hearts. On this day, in Liu Jian's first assistant room in Wenyuan Pavilion, Xie Qian angrily threw a copy of the recital directly on Liu Jian's desk.

"Yuanfu, look at it, this is the superior of Jinyi Wei Ye Guang, he actually asked the criminal department to go to the sea to catch documents and arrest such a person. What kind of joke, isn't it looking for a needle in a haystack to arrest someone with such a vague shadow pattern? Ye Guang has been in charge of Jinyiwei for so many years, and now he is really old and confused! ”

Liu Jian took it and flipped it over, and immediately understood what was going on, and as soon as his eyes exchanged with Xie Qian, he said casually: "Since this twist and turn was transferred by the celebrant supervisor, what did the celebrant say?" ”

"What else can I say, of course it is the emperor's decree, and this matter will be strictly investigated!" Xie Qian's brows furrowed, and he immediately glanced in the direction of Li Dongyang's straight room, "This Xu Jing was indulgent and uninhibited back then, and now he is stirring up such a thing, with ill intentions!" Many years have passed since the trial cheating case, and even if this past thing is in the past, if it is turned out again because of this little coincidence, no one wants to see it. Today's plan, if you take the first emperor's disposal back then to warn Xu Xun, it is the first emperor who punished Xu Jing to return to his hometown as an official, what kind of words does he have now! Besides, it is ridiculous to toss so many things just based on the words of Xu Jing! ”

"What you said is not unreasonable, but you should know that the current emperor is not the first emperor, and blindly using pressure will only backfire...... In this way, it is better to come from a serious matter, find a few imperial histories, and let them make a fuss from the slack of the avant-garde of the government army, especially this time Xu Xun also volunteered to lead the inspection outside the city and assist the Jinyi guard of the West Factory. ”

"Motosuke is smart!"

Xie Qian retired and left, but Liu Jian no longer had the heart to deal with the pile of twists and turns on the desk, and thought of Cheng Minzheng in his heart. In the past, the three major celebrities in the Hanlin Academy, known as Minzheng with extensive knowledge, Dongyang in the quaint article, and Chen Yin as the surname Xingzhen, each of them was the crown of the moment, plus Cheng Minzheng was also a young prodigy, and Zhongtanhua was only twenty-three years old, and everyone thought that he could enter the cabinet with less than sixty and Shangshu. For such a rising star who is young and strong and has excellent reviews, he is afraid of the first assistant, and so is Li Dongyang Xie Qian, not to mention Fu Han as a competitor. Therefore, Fu Han instigated Hua Chang and others to provoke the big case of cheating in the test, some of them stood by and watched, and some fell into the ground, and as a result, Cheng Minzheng, whose surname was upright, was really released from prison but died of carbuncle poison.

"It was all years ago, Xu Xun is young, it should be just a coincidence, it won't be intentional...... But what's the matter with the man in black, is it really a Tartar to meet Xu Jing, or is it ......?"

The possible surname born by Leng Buding made Liu Jian's brows knot directly, and his right hand held the pen tightly. According to common sense, none of them would be stupid enough to send someone to threaten such a scholar who has lost even his fame. But if the news spreads, what will others think? Especially those young Zhuang factions who are looking at the little emperor's idea and plan to rely on the past?

However, this time, a dozen or so notes arrived at the ceremonial supervisor through the General Administration Department, all of which without exception accused the avant-garde of the Xichang Jinyi Guard Army for harassing the people and so on in the name of investigating and destroying the details, and even more fierce words of the officials pointed out that the avant-garde of the government army had no responsibility to investigate, which was an overstepping of authority to invite favor. As soon as he sent it to the emperor, Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry for a while, and according to his surname, he almost wanted to summon all those imperial histories to scold, but the master of ceremonies and several old eunuchs advised him together, and he could only endure it stubbornly, but he had to call Gu Dayong to the front from time to time to ask about the progress.

Because of this, Gu Dayong saw the bitter gourd face when he came out of the Chengqian Palace, and naturally thought that this trip to the West Factory must be fruitless, and there were more fierce words for a while, and the voice of impassioned invitation to the West Factory came out, which made Zhu Houzhao even more angry, and the ministers secretly praised themselves.

However, it was only on the fourth day, and as soon as Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, had just ordered all the people and set off, Ye Guang and Xu Xungu's joint note had already been submitted - a total of 621 homeless people without household registration were found outside the city, 41 suspicious people with various criminal records, and 9 suspected annihilators, not including the unknown black-clothed man who appeared in Yongfu Temple and threw a flying knife in Jiangyin Xu Jing.

For such achievements, Zhu Houzhao is naturally happy. He was originally angry with Wang Yue in Dongchang because he didn't do a good job of being nosy, and now Gu Dayong led the Xichang, which had just been built for a few days, to make such a contribution, he naturally did not hesitate to reward it at all, and this day again directly summoned the cabinet and ministers to the Wenhua Palace, and Ye Guang Xu Xun and Gu Dayong who were present reported the process of sorting out the households outside the city one by one, and at the end he looked around proudly.

"See? As long as you do things seriously and carefully, why worry about things not succeeding! This time can have such a great effect, Ye Guang Xu Xungu is of great use, the three of you are indispensable, each reward ......" Zhu Houzhao saw that the faces of several old adults were ugly one by one, thinking about it, he still didn't let them be so embarrassed, so he changed the money and silk silk that came to his mouth, "Well, each reward a royal horse, go back and go to the Xiyuan stable to pick it up!" ”

"Your Majesty, although there is this achievement within a few days, the vanguard of the Jinyi Weifu Army and the West Factory are indeed meritorious, but if the good people are annihilated and executed, the stakes are significant, and I implore the emperor to ......"

It was none other than Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, who stood up this time. Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Xu Xun gestured to Ye Guang with his eyes, and sure enough, the director of Jinyiwei, who was very well received among civil officials, bowed down deeply: "Your Majesty, Min Shangshu's words are exactly what Weichen wants to play." In a hurry, they were only detained according to the household registration according to the case record left by Jinyiwei, and it was inevitable that there would be mistakes and omissions, so the minister asked Jinyiwei and the Criminal Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly try these people, not to wronged a good, and not to let go of a single annihilator. ”

Gu Dayong also said in unison with Xu Xun in a sharp voice: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid seconded Lord Ye." ”

"Accurate!" Zhu Houzhao saw that his own people choked these old ministers, and he felt even more happy for a while. But just after agreeing, he suddenly remembered another incident, and immediately looked at the British Gong Zhang Mao and Ma Wensheng Dai Shan and said, "I remembered this statement, I asked a few of you to judge Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai, it's been a few days, and there is no result?" ”

Many of the bigwigs were throbbing because of the name of Xu Jing, who had been silent for many years, and at this time, the emperor suddenly asked Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai and others, and there was silence for a while. After a while, the British prince Zhang Maocai took the lead: "Back to the emperor, Zhang Yu and others confessed to not diagnosing the pulse and using drugs indiscriminately, but Liu Wentai refused to say anything. ”

"If you don't say it, you will be tortured!" Zhu Houzhao was suddenly annoyed, and shouted, "I don't believe that his body can withstand thirty or fifty boards!" ”

Nominally, it is the British duke, but the real decision of this kind of thing is generally the civil official, but in fact, the person in charge of this matter is Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the ministry. Hearing that the emperor openly left this kind of thing in the Wenhua Palace, Ma Wensheng couldn't be silent, so he had to stand up and play truthfully: "Back to the emperor, since Zhang Yu and the others have all admitted it, it doesn't hurt for Liu Wentai to refuse to confess, so he can naturally be convicted." The minister's original intention was to play, and since the emperor inquired, the minister would say today that he would play. ”

"Just say it, I'll listen!"

"Zhang Yu, Liu Wentai, Gao Ting, and Yi use the officials of the ministry and the internal officials to tie up the cheating law and discuss the beheading. The court envoy Shi Qin Yuan sentenced Uncle Fang to be dismissed from his post with the wrong medicine, and the doctor Xu Haofa was originally from the people. The right Tongzheng Wang Yuyuan made Li Zongzhou Yuan sentence Zhang Lun, Qian Dut, Wang Pan and others to sit back and see that the medication was not appropriate, and they did not take it, and each was demoted by two levels. The right senator Qiu Yu will recover the official money for the embezzlement of fake drugs in the market......"

"Enough!"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly interrupted Ma Wensheng's words, stared at the ministers for a long time, and then suddenly sneered: "What ministry officials handed over the crime of internal officials, last time the British public capital had already played Liu Wentai and Zhang Yu was disrespectful, so according to the law of great disrespect, he was directly beheaded, where is so much nonsense!" As for the others, this simple pharmacology is not visible, but all those who were diagnosed and treated at that time were dismissed from their posts and re-examined. If you don't pass it, it's just that, but if you don't pass, you don't need to be downgraded. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and said: "Also, Min Shangshu tried these annihilations that he held today, don't just blindly hold a heart of compassion, first think about the more than 2,000 people who died in the Xuanfu army this time, how sad their wives and children are!" Don't be like the case of Zheng Wang personally tried by the first emperor before, who was sentenced to beheading, and still has not been killed. This is not to maintain the name of the father's benevolence and virtue, this is clearly a reversal and ruined the prestige of the father! ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Min Jue's face turned blue and white for a while, how ugly it was.

However, Zhu Houzhao seemed to think that these words were not enough, and looked at the ministers and said: "In the past few days, it is whimsical to say that I asked Xichang and Jinyiwei to investigate and annihilate the details, and I have all remembered them in my heart. The imperial court gave the official the authority to write and talk about things, but those people were not used to make them point fingers and talk nonsense! Also, in the middle of the night, the third watch was almost killed by the Tartars...... What's it called......"

Xu Xun hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, it is Jiangyin scholar Xu Jing." ”

"Yes, yes, that's this Xu Jing!" Zhu Houzhao slammed his fist on the armrest, as if he didn't see many people changing color because of this name and his action, and said angrily, "A scholar was scared sick, so he asked the government to report the matter, which couldn't be more reasonable, and it was also worth talking about by those imperial historians?" Are they fed up! ”
