No one can see Zhang Siwei's abnormality, of course, the clamor of the academy and the trend of the Jingshi may not have anything to do with Zhang Siwei, then again, if Zhang Da Sima really did such a stupid thing, how could he be in such a position today.

It is precisely because there is no evidence that Zhang Siwei is still in his position, and no one investigates anything, at least everything is as usual on the surface.

The academy was banned and destroyed, and the name of the second assistant was not determined, if there was really something, these two actions were enough to warn, and people with intentions observed openly and secretly, Zhang Siwei was doing everything as usual, whether in the court or in private, there was no abnormal behavior.

Even spending money to buy the subordinates in Zhang Siwei's mansion can't get any useful news, what Zhang Siwei is doing in peace, what is he still doing now, if he has broken a few tea bowls recently, it is considered abnormal.

Since Wang Tong left Jingshi, I don't know whose proposal it was, Lu Wancai, Zou Yi and Li Wenyuan have gathered every few days.

When Zou Yi had an errand in the Imperial Horse Prison, he didn't pay much attention to this small gathering, and he participated in it less often.

Every time a small gathering is a few dishes and a pot of sweet wine, everyone needs to be vigilant at all times, and the place to meet is easy to find, just find a yard in the Zhenxing Building on South Street.

Lu Wancai is just a five-grade at this time, and he is still in a popular yamen like Jingshi Shuntianfu, Li Wenyuan is in charge of two hundred households, and he said that breaking the sky is a positive six-grade, and Zou Yi has no grade or rank after committing the crime.

However, no one dares to underestimate these three people in the Beijing Division, the three of them are the core of the Public Security Bureau, not to mention confidential spying, just say that the peace silver is a lot of money in and out.

The Public Security Division has many eyes and ears in Beijing, and in the market, the peddlers and pawns may be their eyeliners, what they say, what they have done, and they will be inquired about by accident.

These news have to be reported to the eunuch Zhang Gonggong, and then transferred to the Long Live Lord, isn't this an alternative version of Dongchang? It's just that there are more eyes and ears, more careful work, and more financial power.

The Shuntianfu Yamen and Jinyiwei are the institutions that operate outside and collect preliminary information, and what Zou Yi in the palace does is the work of synthesis and analysis.

The three of them had a drink, not so much a memorial party after Wang Tong left, but a meeting.

Everyone knows where they came from today and who they need to rely on in the future, so the three of them don't have any desire to compete for power and profit with each other, just run errands quietly.

In such a state, the atmosphere of the small gathering is very good, talking about official business, chatting about the world, there is no hiding from each other, quite honest, and everyone is very comfortable.

It's almost August, this is the hottest time in Beijing, and the doors and windows of the single courtyard behind the Zhenxing Building are wide open, and mosquito coils are lit outside the house and courtyard.

There was food and wine on the table, because the doors and windows were open, and the people around the table spoke in a low voice.

"Congratulations to Brother Li first, Hutou has entered the training camp as a soldier, such an outstanding talent, and with Lord Wang taking care of him, he must have a bright future in the future."

It was Lu Wancai who said this, he and Zou Yi took the wine glass and toasted together, Li Wenyuan usually did not smile, but at this time he smiled and touched a glass with everyone, but pretended to be disdainful and said:

"It's good that the rabbit cub doesn't cause trouble outside, what kind of future is there, Lord Wang doesn't know how much effort to discipline!"

Having said that, he drank all the wine in the cup, put down the cup, sighed, and then whispered:

"The matter I inquired about here also came out, Yang Sichen is a proper reader, and the person he often interacts with does have something to do with Zhang Siwei."

Lu Wancai took a mouthful of food, shook his head and said:

"This person is no longer in Jingshi, Yang Sichen shouldn't have any other secrets, but I didn't expect Shen Shixing to have such a means."

Zou Yi has rarely seen a smile on his face since he committed the crime, and when he heard the news, he groaned, and said first:

"Hurry up and send it to Lord Wang, Shen Shixing, our family wants to talk to Grandpa Zhang about this, and Long Live Lord also needs to know."

Of course, everyone naturally had nothing else to say, but Zou Yi was also a little surprised, sighed and said:

"Shen Shixing has always been known as a gentleman in the court, and Zhang Siwei is known as a resourceful and unparalleled, if you think well, this time it was Shen Shixing who won for a while, he is just alone, how can he know so much, and how to do so many things."

Li Wenyuan also groaned and wondered:

"Yang Sichen's matter is good if it is said to be cautious and vigilant, but it is really not easy for an official of the Ministry of Rites to do this."

Lu Wancai smiled, subconsciously looked left and right, and said in a low voice:

"Shen Shixing has been in the Criminal Department for nearly 15 years, the Criminal Department is in charge of the criminal prison, major cases are investigated, and there are also some capable errand officials, they are up and down, and the Beijing division has a lot to deal with the criminal names in the yamen of the provincial and state capitals below.

Speaking of this, Zou Yi and Li Wenyuan both suddenly realized, and Lu Wancai said with a smile:

"Shen Shixing is magnanimous, he is as generous as below, and now he is doing high, and there is already a heart below, this back and forth, he also has a force in his hand, and he can naturally do something."

Li Wenyuan took a sip of wine, after all, he was born as a martial artist, and he spoke straightforwardly, and said:

"The names are all decided, and there is a pavilion elder above, what do the two of them mean by fighting, you look at our brothers......"

"Hehe, Brother Li, this can't be compared, but, looking at this posture, last year, Zhishi's official secretary was not good enough to be taken down by Zhang Siwei like this, and the position of the first assistant can't be competed for, isn't there a second assistant."

"Mr. Zhang, ladies and gentlemen, since I ascended the throne, the officers and soldiers of all battalions of the Beijing Division have been dedicated to their duties and loyal. ”

On July 29, the court meeting, and when the courtiers finished discussing, Emperor Wanli suddenly said loudly.

In this court, everyone is secretive when they speak, what to say and what to do, there must always be a reason, this sentence is an opening remark, the courtiers are waiting for Emperor Wanli's next words, and then everyone more or less glanced at Zhang Juzheng.

What the court discussed and decided, Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao decided after careful consideration, and what they said and did every time was just to repeat what had been decided and go through the situation.

Today, the emperor suddenly said this, obviously the matter has been discussed, is it what Zhang Ge Lao meant, everyone looked over, but found that Zhang Ge Lao also had a surprised look.

Could it be His Majesty's own meaning, there is nothing to mention after thinking about it, as for this opening remark, what is the matter with Guan Jingying Jingwei.

Emperor Wanli sat in his seat, smiling and talking, he noticed the expressions of those ministers in the room, and also noticed the eyes looking at Zhang Juzheng, I don't know if the eunuchs on the side of the body will also look at Feng Bao like this when they command.

However, Emperor Wanli forced himself to only have a smile on his face, not to reveal his unhappiness, Zhang Juzheng bowed and saluted, and the ministers who were waiting for the dispersal of the dynasty returned to their positions, Emperor Wanli continued with a smile:

"The generals are so loyal and diligent, but the arrears of military salaries over the years have not been paid, and the armor battles of the battalions of the Imperial Horse Prison are also worn and damaged, and the military department has not allocated any money."

Zhang Siwei, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly went out to Chen Zuo and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the nine sides are the most important, the Beijing division is second, the nine sides also have years, the cabinet, the household department, the military department, and inform the master of ceremonies, the imperial horse supervisor, set the order, first the border town and then the Beijing division, this is not a perfunctory dereliction of duty on the part of the military department, please Your Majesty to be clear!"

Emperor Wanli smiled and waved his hand, and said:

Zhang Aiqing stood up and listened to me finish speaking.

Zhang Siwei kowtowed, then got up and went back to the column, got up and glanced at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng's face was indifferent, but he didn't look here.

Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, glanced at Feng Bao on the side of the celebrant and the celebrant on the side, Feng Bao immediately looked at Zhang Cheng on his side, Zhang Cheng shook his head in confusion, and Zhang Juzheng turned back in confusion.

"I'm going to get married in September, and this year there are all kinds of big sacrifices, and the silver in the palace has to be spent like water, King Lu is also old, and the mansion also costs money, I have called the steward of the royal supervisor to come over and calculate it in many ways, and the silver in the palace is not enough!"

When these words were spoken, both Wenchen and the eunuchs in the Wenyuan Pavilion knelt down together, Zhang Juzheng glanced at Ma Ziqiang, straightened up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty's words make the ministers ashamed, the world is Your Majesty's world, the Queen Mother is loving, Your Majesty Shengming, the palace has always been thrifty, the great gift and the big sacrifice, the Luwang Domain, this is the treasury and the household department jointly write-off, this year God bless the Ming, the treasury is full, and the budget has long been left for these things, please Your Majesty don't worry about these things."

Emperor Wanli hurriedly said:

"Get up, get up, I'm just talking about things, you don't have to be so afraid, this year's expenses this year, next year's expenses, the palace expenses and the salaries of the generals, these things should always be from the treasury, this year is in arrears, year after year, it is not a long-term solution."

The ministers didn't care about any rudeness, they made eye contact with each other, Zhang Juzheng frowned, bowed down and asked:

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Mr. Zhang has also told me many times that everything is pre-planned, and if it is not pre-planned, it will be wasted, this is the right reason, and now the gold and silver that enter the palace every year is no longer enough, and the amount should be increased, so as not to account for each other's entry and exit from the treasury and the household department every year, adding trouble!"

Jin Huayin, Zhang Juzheng looked back at Ma Ziqiang again, and Ma Ziqiang, the head of the household, hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down Chen Zuo said:

"Your Majesty, the household department has calculated an approximate amount, and the gold and silver that enter the palace every year will be increased by 300,000 taels, making a total of 1.3 million taels, for the sake of the heavenly family."

"How can adding 300,000 be enough......"
