Seeing the two imperial historians kneeling on the ground, none of the bachelors and scholars standing on either side dared to speak, but looked at the emperor sitting in the middle and Zhang Juzheng on the side.

Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, also looked indifferent, only glanced at everyone, and his eyes stopped on the body of the scholar, Hubu Shangshu Ma Ziqiang.

Tobe Shangama bowed his head for a while, and broke the unsettling embarrassment, he knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, Wechen really hasn't heard of the name of the ship's bow incense, but when it comes to the shipwright's labor association, Wechen has already heard of it."

Seeing that Wanli and Zhang Juzheng didn't make a sound, Ma Ziqiang continued:

"In the past, the most headache of the household department is the grain loading and unloading in Tianjin, the Beijing division to Tianjin, every time the river is dredging or the weather is dry, the passage of ships will not be smooth, the boat can not wait, can only unload, load and unload grain goods, strong labor is not often needed, every need, it is necessary to dispatch gathering, often delay things, the civil shipowners and shipwrights for this smooth transportation, do not delay time on this, private association, should be this bow incense, Weichen also knows, this private association is easy to trouble, but after the association, the river on the shore, It took a lot of effort to recruit the people, and the ship was not delayed, which was a good thing for both the government and the people, so it was preserved. ”

Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the military department on the side, also stepped forward and knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has also heard here, Qi Jiguang, the chief military officer of Jizhen, and Li Dameng, the general of the Tianjin Staff, have said that Tianjin's grain transshipment is fast, and it has never delayed the use of military supplies, and it also depends on those people and laborers on the canal.

There are two people who came out, and Li Youzi, who is also a member of the cabinet university, also came out and said:

"Your Majesty, there are many people and boatmen, negligent in discipline, among which there are lawbreakers who take the opportunity to do evil is inevitable, but listen to a few adults say, this bow incense has a great contribution to Caoyun, this Caoyun is the lifeblood of the country, there are lawbreakers to do evil, send a division to strictly discipline it, and you must not spoil the big thing because of choking and eating."

After saying so much, everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng bowed down and reported:

"Your Majesty, Cao Yun should not be neglected, the civil association is conducive to Cao Zheng, this is a great good, there are one or two lawbreakers, this is a small evil, if a small evil is used to abolish the great good, it is not a wise move, if this bow incense really has any conspiracy to be unfavorable to the government and the court, Dongchang and Jinyiwei will have a report, but now there is no news to send, presumably it is really as the adults said, but it is just a small section that is not repaired, and the big place is still good, what does Your Majesty think?"

Emperor Wanli had a smile on his face, nodded and said:

"The elder of the pavilion and the lords have considered it thoroughly, and sent the division to rectify the matter of the bow incense, I thought that the imperial court would not need to send other officials, since Wang Tong of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu has already started this matter, it is better to let him continue to do it, the cabinet and the military department, and the Jinyi pro-army will discuss it together, and then report to the priest and the supervisor of ceremonies to give an order!"

I thought it was the officials attacking, and the ministers took advantage of the situation to clean up Wang Tong, but I didn't expect that the Wanli Emperor had already prepared, and the ministers had no impression of this bow incense, let alone know whether it was good or bad, but since Wang Tong was set on the bad side, the opposite bow incense must be good.

But the position of the Son of Heaven is high, light and powerful, and the people below have to make a lot of preparations to deal with it, and some people in the room have already kept in mind that this little emperor never fights for anything in the court, and the decrees reached by the first assistant and the scholars are also echoed, but when it comes to this Wang Tong, it is-for-tat and does not give an inch.

The main ones are Zhang Ge Lao and Feng Gonggong, this is no difference, but the world is still the Zhu family, who knows what will happen in the future, why bother to offend this mold.

The others shrank, and several scholars in the cabinet had to say that the two Du Yushi who were kneeling there were sitting on wax, if they followed the orders of the saint, the two of them would not be able to continue to be officials, and others could let go, but they couldn't.

"Your Majesty, what the official said may be biased and biased, but this Wang Tong's behavior is wrong, but it is also true that he is corrupt and corrupt, and the minister implores Your Majesty to investigate it strictly!!"

Emperor Wanli frowned, staring at Lu Guangming who was speaking just now, this imperial history kowtowed to the ground again, and Emperor Wanli also knew who the officials in this room listened to, he looked directly at Zhang Juzheng.

However, what made him strange was that Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant to the cabinet, seemed to be a little distracted, his eyes were looking away, Zhang Juzheng's spirit was extremely focused, this is a well-known thing, why there is such a scene.

Almost at the same time, Zhang Juzheng had returned to normal, and said:

"Your Majesty, the imperial historians will never be untargeted, Lord Lu and Lord Shen are the chief constitution, they must understand it in more detail, let Lord Lu explain, so as not to use the wrong person, what does Your Majesty think?"

This statement was expected by Emperor Wanli, Wanli nodded, but he didn't know that Zhang Juzheng made eye contact with Feng Bao on the side.

Facing Zhang Juzheng's inquiry, Feng Bao showed a little helplessness on his face, and shook his head, since the matter is not under Feng Bao's control, there is no need to blame, Zhang Juzheng quickly made a judgment.

"Your Majesty, if the bow incense really extorted the merchants and the people, Wang Tong expelled it as a good deed, but after that, Wang Tong issued a peace sign, repeating the extortion of the wicked people in the bow incense, and all the money obtained went into his private pocket, which is corruption."

"Wang Tong collects a lot less than the incense on the bow of the ship!"

Hearing Emperor Wanli's relaxed tone, Lu Guangming's heart twitched, but he still straightened up and said:

"The huge Tianjin Acropolis, how much business does it come and go, Wang Tong relies on the power of Jinyiwei to sit on the ground and collect money, and it all goes into his private pocket, Your Majesty, this is the real greed for ink!"

"Lu Aiqing, will this ink-greedy person report the accounts to me one by one, how much silver is collected, how much silver is spent, and the pen is clear, is this also called greedy ink?"

Emperor Wanli smiled and picked up a few pieces of paper, raised them in his hand, everyone was stunned, looking at those pieces of paper, I don't know why, Emperor Wanli looked at everyone with some surprised faces, and his heart was unusually happy.

Lu Guangming's body became more and more straight, and he said word by word:

"The world has its own rules and regulations, Jinyiwei is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, but he does not have the authority to collect money locally, Wang Tong's move is illegal, and the money obtained is extortion and robbery, it is greedy for ink, and His Majesty connived, it is the same crime!!"

Emperor Wanli slapped the table heavily and stood up suddenly, he stared at Lu Guangming who was kneeling in front of him viciously, and roared angrily:

"Do you say that I am also greedy for ink, and I am also blackmailing and robbing?"

Lu Guangming said with a straight face:

"Your Majesty has ever had a will, the cabinet has ever voted for it, the celebrant has approved the approval of the red, and he has taken 10,000 steps back to speak, and he doesn't even have a central will, what basis does Wang Tong have to do!!"

Shen Bingfeng, the right capital on his side, knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, but he heard the sound of brushing around him, and turned his head cautiously to look over, but found that the sound was because Shen Bingfeng's robe couldn't stop shaking, and the sound of rubbing against the ground, the ground could already see the traces of sweat dripping, obviously scared to the extreme, no wonder Shen Bingfeng was strange, this left capital Yushi Lu Guangming has never been a person with a backbone.

Shen Bingfeng suddenly understood, if he confessed in a muffled voice, and finally dismissed and dismissed, it would be better to make a strong order, and the left and right sides would also be dismissed, and he might be able to survive to the death.

Thinking about this joint, Shen Bingfeng also knocked his head down and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, there are cavalry stationed in all the thoroughfares and cities in the world, if everyone is like this, give Your Majesty an account and loot it, then it is not a great chaos in the world, Your Majesty, the rules of the ancestors, and the laws of the court are the foundation of this country, and it must not be broken, it must not be broken!"

"Someone!! Come!! Drag these two lawless bastards down, drag them down"

Emperor Wanli's eyes were already red, and he shouted loudly there, the door curtain was opened, and four guards and two eunuchs rushed in, but the first action of these people was not to arrest people, but to look at Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng.

In this stunned moment, Zhang Juzheng took the lead in kneeling, and all the courtiers and eunuchs in the room knelt down and said in unison:

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The momentum of the ministers kneeling down made Emperor Wanli immediately take a step back, and the rest of the words were not shouted, Zhang Juzheng straightened up as soon as his head touched the ground, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the ancestral system does not sin people with words, not to mention what Lord Lu and Lord Shen said, it is not unreasonable, I hope Your Majesty will see it!"

Everyone kowtowed in unison, and said in unison:

"Your Majesty, please be clear!!"

Wanli turned his head to look at the celebrant over there, Feng Bao, Zhang Cheng and others all bowed their heads, looking at the kneeling courtiers, Emperor Wanli took a step back, accidentally touched the dragon chair, staggered, and sat back again.

"Your Majesty, when Emperor Wuzong, Ti Cai, internal supervisors all over the world, the people are not living, in the end, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning almost overturned the world, Emperor Shizong Su Yingming, restraining the internal supervision of the military ministers, this is the Zhongxing Daming Jiangshan Sheji, Your Majesty, don't lose your way because of your cronies and villains, shake the country, and hurt the love and expectation of the two queen mothers!"

Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said earnestly, Emperor Wanli sat on the chair and looked at the guards and eunuchs who came in, the six people all bowed their heads and lowered their hands, silent, looking at the eunuchs and courtiers kneeling on the ground, and the words of "two queen mothers" made his heart tremble.

The guards and eunuchs did not dare to obey the order, and the people in the room were kneeling, and suddenly, Emperor Wanli had an illusion, as if everyone was standing, but he was kneeling there, extremely breathless, extremely lonely.

There was silence in the Wenyuan Pavilion, and Emperor Wanli exhaled lightly, covered his forehead with his hand, and said dejectedly:

"Everyone, get up, since Wang Tong has no will and law for what he did, how about the widow's decree."

The ministers stood up with a sigh of relief, but when they heard the last sentence, they all looked at Wanli in amazement.
