In the next few days, with the entry of Wu Qingbo and Li Wei into the palace, the sale of art treasures in the palace to enrich the treasury encountered unprecedented doubts, and a sudden political storm was set off among the Jingshi.

Wu Qingbo Li Wei came from a humble background, all relying on a daughter to become the Empress Dowager Li of the Ming Dynasty, this is the Huang Tengda, he is usually very timid, see the civil officials and scholars and martial arts nobles are extraordinarily polite, the only problem is greed for money, see what good things to enter the palace to find his daughter to ask, first awarded Haidian Huangzhuang, built the famous Tsinghua Garden (the location of Tsinghua University in later generations), and later turned the Yuyuantan Diaoyutai this famous place into his private property.

The Xu family and the Li family are in-laws, Xu Xinyi lives in Wuqing Bofu, looking for an opportunity to talk about the sale of things in the palace, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned that some people in Nanjing are willing to spend 10,000 taels of gold to buy a few treasures such as "Qingming Riverside Map", jasper watermelon, etc.

The speaker has a heart, and the listener also has an intention, Li Wei was originally poor, and when he heard Xu Xinyi say the four words of ten thousand taels of gold, he almost didn't choke on a mouthful of food, and immediately started a small abacus.

That night, the servants of Li Wei's subordinates were taken aback: the old man lay on the bed and tossed and turned like a pancake, didn't sleep all night, and laughed at himself from time to time, dare he go crazy with a sow?

Early the next morning, the old man Li sat in a sedan chair with black circles under his eyes, and went into the palace to find his daughter.

Empress Dowager Li knew that her father had no artistic accomplishment, and all she wanted in the past was the imperial village, land, gold and silver, and suddenly asked for calligraphy and painting treasures, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart.

But Empress Dowager Li is quite good to her family, especially her father Li Wei, as long as she is not too demanding, she will meet it, and her artistic accomplishment is insufficient, and the value of these treasures in her mind is also very limited, so she immediately passed on the decree and rewarded the treasures to her greedy father.

I never thought that any jasper watermelons would be easy to find, but I couldn't get out of "Qingming Riverside Map"!

Li Wei immediately refused to give up, and forced the eunuch to find a painting for him - just because Xu Xinyi said yesterday that the rich man who was willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold to buy these treasures was actually a descendant of Zhao and Song, and what jasper watermelon and jade Go were all used by the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty back then, and people used this to pay tribute to their ancestors, so they were willing to buy them at a high price.

Among them, the "Qingming Riverside Map" depicts the scenery of Bianjing and the imperial palace in the Zhao and Song dynasties, which is precisely the first of the general outlines of all kinds of treasures.

Li Wei was determined to get this picture at all costs for the legendary 10,000 taels of gold, and shouted in the palace, but after a whole day, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale came out to pay attention, but they still didn't find it. The old man actually ran to his daughter and complained that the eunuchs in the palace dared to disobey the queen mother's decree and hid the famous paintings and refused to give them to him.

Empress Dowager Li was impatient with her father's quarrel, so let's replace it with other paintings, no matter how precious the famous paintings, Li Wei shook his head like a rattle: no, just "Qingming Riverside Picture".

Later, even the Empress Dowager Li became suspicious: Where did the painting go? She told her father to go back first, wait for the secret visit in the palace, and give it to him after finding it, Li Wei returned disappointed.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and Li Wei's noise in the palace is not small, and it naturally reaches the ears of people outside the palace.

Zhang Juzheng's opposition has been degraded and degraded in the past two years, and there is not much left to do, and the sale of calligraphy and paintings to fill the treasury is, after all, in line with the way of thinking of the civil officials of the foreign dynasty who "take all the money from the inner treasury to the household department", and there is nothing to say behind the support of the Empress Dowager Li and Emperor Wanli.

Shen Sixiao, the director of the Criminal Department, Zhao Yingyuan, the superintendent of the imperial history, and Zhang Youlong, the Shaoqing of the Taifu Temple, and others have written to impeach Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the household department, for conniving at the subordinate officials, filling their own pockets, colluding with the eunuchs of the inner court, and taking the opportunity of selling the forbidden things in the palace, greedy for many treasures led by the "Qingming Riverside Map".

Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong, although the spearhead was temporarily aimed at Zhang Xueyan, who was directly involved, in fact, it was directly aimed at Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant emperor who pushed this matter, and Feng Bao, the master of ceremonies.

Shen Sixiao and the others who jumped out now are just soldiers who are charging into battle, and behind them are still standing chariots, horses, artillery and old marshal, the remnants of the former Shoufu Gao Gong who stayed in Beijing, and the court officials who clashed with Zhang Juzheng in the Ding Wei affair before, Regarding the behavior of Shen Sixiao, the head of the Criminal Department, Yan Qing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is quite ambiguous.

From the inner court to the outer court, a storm is brewing, and those officials who are dissatisfied with the new policy are watching the situation with unconcealed excitement...... No one would know that the butterfly that flapped its wings to form a storm was just the little fourth-grade brocade guard commanding Qin Lin.

In the past few days, he still honestly went to the Jinyi Guard's yamen every day to order the mao, pretending to be nothing, even when the most trusted Lu Yuanzhi and Niu Dali discussed the theft of famous paintings in the palace every day, they definitely didn't expect what role the head of the family played in this turmoil.

Finally, Liu Shouyou summoned all the officials to the White Tiger Hall.

There are two other people accompanying Liu Shouyou, one of them has a mediocre appearance, an extraordinarily cunning smile, a brown shirt and soap boots, and a pointed hat, but he is different from the officials of the East Factory who he has seen in the past, and there are thousands of military attachés on his chest to supplement the service - this is the second person in the East Factory except for the factory official, and the current person in charge of a thousand households, Feng Bao's henchman Xu Jue.

The other person looked unruly, his face was full of meat, his beard was rooted in his chin, his fierce appearance was exposed, he was also a brown shirt and soap boots, and there were hundreds of military attachés on his chest.

The factory and the guard are integrated, most of the time the power of the East Factory has to overshadow the Jinyi Guard, and the status of the East Factory in charge of the thousand households is similar to that of Liu Shouyou, the governor of Jinyi, and the punishment of the hundred households is slightly better than all the Jinyi Hall officials except for the Fusi of Zhangbei Town.

Therefore, many officials nodded to these two, but Feng Bangning looked leisurely and proudly arrogant to his colleagues-Xu Jue and Chen Yingfeng were all subordinates of his uncle Feng Bao.

They all know each other, Liu Shouyou introduced it slightly, and then said straight to the point: "I think you all know, the "Qingming Riverside Map" given to Wu Qingbo by the Empress Dowager Cisheng is actually not found in the palace, and there is anything to say outside, and regardless of it, for the anger of the Queen Mother, Dongchang and our Jinyiwei have joined forces to solve the case, which two brothers are willing to contribute to the investigation of this case?" ”

After brushing it, all eyes were on Qin Lin, who didn't know that this young commander had repeatedly solved major and important cases, and he was the number one capable member of Ben Ya to solve cases?

"The next official is willing to go!"

Unexpectedly, it was not Qin Lin who preemptively agreed, but Feng Bangning, who walked out of the train triumphantly and looked at Qin Lin defiantly.
