In mid-August, Wu Weiye returned to the capital.

Wu Weiye's return to the capital immediately aroused the attention of many people, Wu Weiye lived in the official post and did not visit anyone, his approach was obviously different from Zhang Pu, and when Zhang Pu and others came to greet him, that is, a simple greeting, never mentioned the matter of patrolling Huaibei, that is, when Zhang Pu and others did not give up on asking, Wu Weiye replied that he would report to the emperor when he would explain all the circumstances.

Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun waited for Wu Weiye to come to report, but they couldn't wait for anyone, they couldn't sit still, and sent the housekeeper to the official post to inquire about the situation, but they also didn't get anything.

Wu Weiye did this, of course, there is no problem, according to the rules of Huaibei, according to the rules, should be reported to the emperor in the Qianqing Palace, no one was allowed to ask before, but the rules are dead, people are alive, such rules because of the party dispute, almost no longer exist.

Qian Shisheng, Hou Xun and others faintly felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't find fault with it, so they could only wait to see what Wu Weiye would say when they were in the Qianqing Palace. Of course, they still thought of some ways, after all, Wu Weiye was not alone in patrolling Huaibei, but unfortunately, the officials who accompanied Wu Weiye to Huaibei did not know the inside story at all.

Only two days after Wu Weiye returned to the capital, he was summoned by the emperor to go to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.

When Wu Weiye entered the Qianqing Palace, the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu and the imperial history of the left and right capitals were all here, Wu Weiye lowered his head and did not look at the eager eyes of Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others.

The retribution began.

Wu Weiye took out the fold and began to report.

The fold is written in great detail, Wu Weiye's writing is very good, and it has been recognized in the imperial court.

Listening and listening, the faces of Qian Shisheng, Hou Xun and the others changed dramatically, the smiles on their faces disappeared, there was no expression at first, and then their eyes narrowed. In the end, it turned out to be iron-blue.

Zhang Zhifa's face never had any expression.

Zhang Fengyi, Yang Yipeng and others showed smiles on their faces.

For more than half an hour, Wu Weiye finished his report, and his final conclusion was very clear: Prince Shaobao, Hubu Shangshu, Youdu Yushi, and Caoyun Governor Zheng Xunrui. Dedicated to the imperial court and stabilizing the situation in Huaibei, a lot of efforts have been made, although some of its things are not quite in line with the rules. But they are all combined with the actual situation in Huaibei, especially in the rectification of Caoyun matters, care about the suffering of the people, do very prominent, worthy of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military learning, as for Li Yan and the Red Lady matter, the investigation is also very clear, Li Yan and the Red Lady after the Shun, did a lot of things, including the rebellion against Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, is one of its contributions. Moreover, Li Yan had already written out about the situation related to the Liukou and handed it over to the Governor of the Five Provinces, Lord Xiong Wencan, but he was stationed in Luoyang Fucheng, and the specific deployment of the Liukou was not very clear, but in the document, he had already named the defects of the Liukou and how to deal with the Liukou.

There was no expression on the emperor's face, and he didn't know what to think.

After Wu Weiye finished his report, the Qianqing Palace was silent, but this silent situation did not last long.

Soon Zhang Zhifa spoke.

"Your Majesty. The minister thought that Lord Wu was patrolling Huaibei, and the situation of his investigation was clear, and the controversy about Li Yan and the Red Lady was concerned. It can come to an end, and in addition, the imperial court can also use Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others, so that this can break the fighting spirit of the rogues and let more people understand that the imperial court is a ...... that cares for the world."

Zhang Zhifa said this very cleverly, on the one hand, he took care of the emotions of Wu Weiye and others. On the one hand, he didn't forget to help Zhang Pu and others speak, after all, Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance defected to Zhang Pu, and they are still nameless and shareless, and they are a little unreasonable.

After Zhang Zhifa finished speaking, Qian Shisheng quickly spoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Wu's patrol has some doubts that need to be further verified, no matter what, Lord Zheng violated the holy decree and did not do it according to the emperor's requirements, this is inappropriate, if the governors and governors of various places do not do things according to the emperor's will, they all go their own way, what is the difference between this and the division of feudal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty."

The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace suddenly became tense, and Qian Shisheng actually moved out of the example of the division of the feudal town at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which was already very serious, which indicated that Zheng Xunrui had signs of rebellion and subversion of the Ming Dynasty.

There was still no expression on the emperor's face.

No one thought that it was Wu Weiye who spoke at this time.

"Your Majesty, the ministers were ordered to patrol Huaibei, and did not dare to live up to the emperor's expectations, and they saw it all over Huaibei, Huaibei four prefectures and three states, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, supported the government, and thanked the emperor, the minister thought that Zheng Xunrui was dedicated to the people, and was dedicated to the world of the Ming Dynasty, even if some places were not handled in accordance with the holy decree, but they were all forgivable. At the beginning, the emperor decided to mobilize grain from the south to help the north, but some adults felt that the situation in the north and south was different, and they could not exploit the people because the south was rich. ”

The faces of Qian Shisheng, Hou Xun and the others turned blue again, but Wu Weiye had no intention of stopping.

"Let's just say that this collection of arrears of agricultural taxes over the years, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang and Sichuan and other places, are all complied with, what is the end, the Liukou is becoming more and more arrogant in these places, the imperial court consumes a lot of money and grain, exterminating the Liukou, Shaanxi did not follow the holy decree, did not levy taxes, is extremely calm, there is no rebellion at all, you must know that Shaanxi is the base camp of the Liukou, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and even Liu Zongmin, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi and others, all from Shaanxi, but they dare not return to Shaanxi, Because they know very well that the people of Shaanxi live a stable life, and if they enter Shaanxi, they will have no chance at all, and they may encounter a severe blow from the people. ”

"The minister said this, just to prove that it is completely feasible to implement the emperor's decree and the imperial court's edict in combination with the actual situation in various places, and the minister also has an understanding that in terms of the appointment of officials, Huaibei did not resist the holy decree, so it is nonsense to say that Lord Zheng Xunrui has the behavior of separating the feudal town."

Wu Weiye refuted Qian Shisheng like this, which no one could have imagined, not even the emperor, and looked at Wu Weiye for a while.

Qian Shisheng's already angry body trembled slightly, but he couldn't speak.

The debate can't go on, Wu Weiye is on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court to patrol Huaibei, and the conclusions he made are impossible to overturn, not to mention that Wu Weiye is a member of the Donglin Party and is Zheng Xunrui's opponent, so the conclusions he made should be more fair.

Zhang Fengyi, Yang Yipeng and others also spoke one after another, believing that Wu Weiye inspected Huaibei on behalf of the imperial court and investigated impartially, which was very good, and his investigation was also very careful and serious, and the conclusion was convincing.

This time, the emperor did not push the fold to the cabinet for discussion, and said that the matter was over.

This is the end of this controversy.

Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others worked hard to plan, but because of Wu Weiye's investigation documents, all their efforts were in vain, but Qian Shisheng and others couldn't say that Wu Weiye was recommended by them, and Zhang Pu was also recommended by them, so it can't be said that the conclusion of the investigation does not meet the requirements, it is wrong, they can't do it, so I am afraid that it will arouse the emperor's suspicion, whether the Donglin Party has gone too far and wants to control the government.

All this is because of Wu Weiye, Wu Weiye's move can be described as a defection.

The Qianqing Palace discussed the matter of patrolling Huaibei, and it quickly spread out, and the speed of transmission was very fast.

Wu Weiye's documents caused an uproar in the imperial court, and many people were just waiting to see the excitement, thinking that this time Zheng Xunrui, Zhang Pu, Wu Weiye and others would definitely pinch each other, and this mutual game would directly affect the cabinet.

The emperor does not have any evaluation on this matter, just to this point, no one is allowed to mention it again when the court meeting, this attitude also makes people ponder, it is said that the emperor always has to judge the merits, so vague, it is obviously inappropriate, but the emperor's attitude, everyone is just guessing, dare not comment arbitrarily, of course, there are also people who are sensitive to perceive that the emperor is actually unhappy, why is he unhappy, no one will say the reason.

When Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun left the Qianqing Palace, they did not hide their angry expressions, and it is said that the eyes they looked at Wu Weiye were cold, and they only had the eyes to treat the enemy.

As for Wu Weiye, it seems that it doesn't matter, after leaving the Qianqing Palace, he actually went to the Ministry of Rites to order Mao.

The attitude of Zhang Zhifa, the first assistant of the cabinet, is almost impossible to tell whether he is happy or unhappy with the emperor, Zhang Fengyi and Yang Yipeng and others are obviously happy, but there are also some worries in the happiness.

The biggest reaction is Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, Wu Changshi and Gong Dingyu and others, they do not hide their anger, and even scold Wu Weiye in public, you must know that the relationship between Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye is a teacher-student relationship, Zhang Pu worked hard to patrol Henan, I don't know how much work he has done, so he has the basis for impeaching Zheng Xunrui, but at the critical moment, everything was buried by Wu Weiye, and when Wu Weiye was in the Qianqing Palace, he openly contradicted Qian Shisheng and defended Zheng Xunrui, this is the act of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors. It's going to be spurned.

Zhang Cai, who has a short temper, even wanted to go directly to Wu Weiye for trouble, but Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun stopped their behavior, at this time, many adults in the court were watching, including the emperor, and any radical behavior may encounter unimaginable trouble. (To be continued.) )
