"Zirui, you have a very detailed record here, but... I still have one more doubt..."

"I wonder if there is anything else your majesty is not clear?"

"No, I can see it...", Zhu Houxi put down the booklet in his hand, "I just think... Yan Song is just greedy for less than 10,000 taels of silver in Datong City... To tell the truth, I have also seen the excerpts of the courtiers' impeachment of Yan Song's corruption, and some of them also believe it, so I don't think he will be stupid enough to be greedy for ink and not a large amount of military silver, right? ”

Zhu Houxi's question made Peng Yue a little surprised, it seems that this emperor's thinking is indeed different from ordinary people, but this also confirms from the other side that this emperor is indeed very smart, and it is difficult for ordinary ministers to deceive him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If it were put on an ordinary emperor, it is estimated that when he saw such conclusive evidence, he would have been so angry that he would have asked someone to arrest Yan Song, but after reading it, Zhu Houxi still analyzed the problem so calmly and accurately, which had to be admired by Peng Yue.

"Your Majesty, the specific reason is not clear, but... Elder Yan Ge and Lord Zhai Peng Zhai have a gap, and the minister doesn't know if these two things are related..."

"Hmm...", Zhu Houxi frowned, and understood what Peng Yue meant. In fact, if you want to refer to Yan Song's greed for ink and military silver, Zhu Houxi may not be very generous, but if Yan Song is greedy for ink and silver because he has a gap with Zhai Peng and wants to frame Zhai Peng, this is a very big problem.

"Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can summon Zhai Peng and come to question..."

It turned out that a while ago, when Zhai Peng was being escorted into exile, he was intercepted by the people who shouted injustice, coupled with Peng Yue's maneuvers in the court, Zhai Peng was finally not exiled, but was arrested and imprisoned in a prison in the capital.

"Hmm... No need...". Zhu Houxi sighed, his heart was full of helplessness, he didn't expect that a minister he had personally promoted would do such a thing.

Thinking of Zhai Luan, Zhang Bi, and Xu Zan before, what is so strange about Yan Song making such a move? Zhu Houxi suddenly felt a huge sense of frustration. Although he was already jealous of Yan Song's domineering, but all of a sudden so much evidence was in front of him, which made him a little overwhelmed, he didn't want to admit that he had looked away, but this problem couldn't be let go, because Yan Song had already touched his bottom line.

Seeing that Zhu Houxi didn't show much anger, Peng Yue couldn't help but feel anxious for a while, so he hurriedly added it to the side. "Your Majesty, what Elder Yan Ge has done is more than that. Some time ago, you decreed that local officials were allowed to donate officials, but Yan Ge Lao turned this into a business transaction, and even became a tool for him to develop his power. Nominally, it was a donation made by His Majesty, but in the end, he became an official seller with a clear price, and Qipinzhou was sentenced to sell 300 taels of silver, and Liupintong was sentenced to sell 500 taels of silver. Among the military attachés, they commanded the sale of three hundred taels of silver, and they all commanded seven hundred taels... Even the newly appointed head of the Criminal Department, Lord Li. I've heard that it's also... Donor's donation..."

"Nonsense!" , After listening to Peng Yue's narration, Zhu Houxi couldn't hold back any longer, and slapped the table case angrily, "Yan Song dared to do this, it was really blind to his heart!" ”

Peng Yue saw that Zhu Houxi was already a little out of control at this time. Then he knew that his work was done, and the next thing was to remain silent and wait for orders.

At this time, he tried to look at Huang Jin again, but Huang Jin was also clean, deliberately separated from himself by a large distance. Looking at himself or not, it seems that he is more cautious than himself.

Zhu Houxi gasped for breath there, probably feeling that he was a little too unspeakable in front of his ministers, so he tried to restrain himself and calm down his emotions, "Zirui, can you tell me these things... Very good..."

"Your Majesty..."

Zhu Houxi, who calmed down a little at this time, couldn't help but look at Peng Yue twice, and it was only at this time that he realized that Peng Yue was now Yan Song's son-in-law, and the son-in-law told his father-in-law, which was a bit strange...

What is Peng Yue willing to do this for? Isn't it because of Xia Yan? However, Zhu Houxi quickly overturned his thoughts, as the saying goes, everything is bigger than a relative, even if he Peng Yue and Xia Yan have a deep friendship, can it be compared to Yan Song giving Peng Yue a delicate little daughter-in-law?

If it is said that it is for the sake of his own power, Xia Yan has already become a minister after all, but Yan Song is in full swing, and he has an in-law relationship, he Peng Yue is not stupid, and he must be able to calculate this account clearly.

Zhu Houxi has never believed in the vicissitudes of life or anything, so he analyzes problems and likes to consider interests from the perspective of interests. In the end, Zhu Houxi got an uncertain answer: Peng Yue is also coveting the position of the first assistant.

If this is really the case, then it can be explained, after all, the father-in-law is in power, and he is not as powerful as himself. To say that if Yan Song really goes to the throne, he should also consider Peng Yue, after all, he has been in the court for so long, although he is not old, but his experience is enough.

Besides, Peng Yue is also capable, Zhu Houxi doesn't hate him, and it can even be said that he relies on him, just imagine that Zhai Luan and others are unlikely, even if Peng Yue can't be the first assistant, at least he can enter the cabinet.

But this possibility also made Zhu Houyu's evaluation of Peng Yue greatly discounted: a person can even do such a thing as betraying his father-in-law for the sake of power, I have to say that this person is very smart and ambitious, but he is even more terrifying, although Zhu Houyu likes smart people, but he doesn't like such terrible people, because terrible people are generally obedient on the surface, but they are not easy to control in their hearts.

Zhu Houxi suddenly thought again, is Yan Song also this kind of person to some extent? Because Xia Yan had a love for Yan Song before. Alas, all the courtiers under my hands are not clean, and their hands are stained with blood...

Peng Yue saw that Zhu Houxi's expression changed very complicatedly, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a while, and he couldn't ask questions, but he was a little anxious in his heart, hoping that he would say the exciting verdict soon.

"Zirui, I have one thing... I don't know if I should ask...", Zhu Houxi suddenly smiled, "When I married you and the Yan family, were you reluctant in your heart?" ”

Hearing Zhu Houxi suddenly ask this question, Peng Yue was stunned for a while, "No, Your Majesty can marry a minister, and the minister is honored..."

"Don't talk to me about these vains, I have to listen to the truth..."

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is really happy... Ministers and Ministers... Raise your eyebrows and respect each other like guests, so to speak, the minister really wants to thank His Majesty for this beautiful marriage..."

"Okay, since you said so, it's inconvenient for me to ask more...", Zhu Houxi smiled and waved his hand, "Aiqing is here... I don't know what your lady will think, hehe..."

"Your Majesty...", Peng Yue saluted Zhu Houxi with a solemn expression, "The minister knows that there is a social saint first, and then there is a family affair, and now that the two are in conflict, the minister naturally understands how to choose..."

"Aiqing Gaoyi...", Zhu Houxi praised, but there was no smile on his face, and then sighed again.

Looking at Zhu Houxi, who fell silent again, Peng Yue was really a little breathless, this feeling was like waiting for the college entrance examination results to be queried, both expectant and uncomfortable, so uncomfortable! Master, you can give me a happy word... (To be continued.) )
