And the other, Shi Pu. But he looked very nervous, constantly walking back and forth in the main hall.

Seeing Bai Minghe coming back, Shi Pu said: "Bai Minghe, the old man is most afraid of the late festival, you dare to call Chen Gong here at this time, there is no other reason except for the palace." But what can you do with the ministers of the DPRK and China this time, you have to turn over old accounts! ”

Bai Minghe sighed softly, and was about to speak, when a Dongchang stall ran in and whispered a few words in Bai Minghe's ear. Bai Minghe was really taken aback, and asked rhetorically: "Long live know?" ”

"I don't know, but it's hard to say."

"Carry the person down first...... Bai Minghe thought about it, and then changed his words and said: "Let Gonggong Cai go and tell Sù long live, tell the truth." And then! Bai Minghe ran to the desk, picked up a pen and paper and quickly wrote a notebook: "This is my notebook, I beg long live Lord Yang to give a mourning!" ”

"Yes, this is what my subordinates are going to do!"

After the stall head of the East Factory went out, Shi Pu became even more uneasy. Chen Xun asked, "Yang? It's Yang Zhu! After Chen Xun finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Shi Pu, who was like a deflated balloon, and the whole person sat weakly on the chair.

Bai Minghe said: "Lord Yang committed suicide in front of the Taimiao, leaving only a few words, which is written that the minister is guilty and ashamed of the emperor!" ”

"If it's for that, it's true!" Shi Pu muttered to himself.

"Lord Shi, please ask for yourself. There are some things that you can talk about if you want to, and if you don't want to talk about them, you will always bury them in your heart and don't tell them to others. Don't push me! "Don't force me, the words have already been clarified. It is also equivalent to showing an attitude.

Shi Pu obviously knew a lot: "When I heard the rumor that the prince died of poisoning. The old man already felt that there would be this ending, and he ...... back then, "Shi Pu still talked about some things back then. It seems that Shi Pu still knows about the crime of unauthorized power, and he also knows that the Ming Emperor counts it. Nearly thirty years have been hollowed out.

"Since Emperor Ren ascended the throne, Emperor Xian has been sick. Several courtiers were in charge of the government, and later Emperor Xuan was not familiar with government affairs at the beginning of his reign, but then it was Sanyang who controlled the government. When the Emperor ascended the throne, he was young, only nine years old. But he has never had the opportunity to take charge of the government, and the only time he is willful. But there was such a thing as a civil fort, and it was also forced by those people. Long live the throne, and he didn't really take care of any government affairs in the first year! ”

Shi Pu is aware of this history, because he has always been above the court.

"The old man wants to hide, but you can either stand next to Banzai or stand on the other side. Apart from these two sides, only a few have been able to remain in office. Among them, there are too few people like Yu Qian, and the two people Wang Zhen wanted to kill the most back then were Yu Qian. The other is Wang Yu. Yu Qian was suppressed for many years, but Wang Qian was demoted to the people. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Pu took off his official hat: "If it weren't for him being demoted, I wouldn't have had a chance to go further." Because Wang Zhen wanted to use people back then. ”

"Whose dog is Wang Zhen?" Bai Minghe asked.

"Do you really have the guts?" Shi Pu looked at Bai Minghe in surprise, he knew very well that Bai Minghe dared to get him here, so he must know many things.

Bai Minghe didn't answer, but looked at Chen Xun.

Chen Xun stood up: "This official has nothing to do with these things, but he also has the idea of protecting himself." I've been hiding a lot over the years. I also ask for perfection, if you want the official to express his position. That official can only say. Even if you have the heart to do this, you are powerless. When I thought about the Han Dynasty, how many queens were in the harem and how many things the queen mother did, but the result was not announced to the public, and the real punishment was also lost in the palace fighting. No one emperor has ever done it himself. ”

Chen Xun said that it is not a big truth, but a fact.

Bai Minghe didn't answer, but walked to the desk in a few steps, lifted an iron box from the table, and threw a notebook in front of Chen Xun after the three locks were opened.

The attitude of the white crane is already a faux pas.

Chen Xun was not angry. Because the white crane is young, because the white crane has a special identity in this matter.

Picking up the notebook, Chen Xun was even more surprised: "Are you serious?" ”

Bai Minghe didn't answer, just stared at Chen Xun's eyes. After Chen Xun read the recital again, he took a deep breath: "Okay, since you are sincere, this official will sacrifice his life to accompany you." ”

Shi Pu wanted to see it, but Chen Xun quickly stuffed the notebook into his arms, and then walked a few steps to Bai Minghe and put the notebook back in the box and locked it. After that, Chen Xun picked up the pen and quickly wrote a string of names on the paper, and then said to Bai Minghe: "Shi Lao Zhishi can, but his confession must be there." If you don't admit your guilt, go to jail! ”

"You!" Shi Pu pointed at Chen Xun, but his fingers were slapped open by Chen Xun.

"If there had been such a person who dared to do something back then, the death of the prince would not have happened. You and I are both criminals, and you can either write a confession here or go to prison to write it. Take your pick! Chen Xun's words frightened Shi Pu, he was really scared.

But Chen Xun himself also wrote a confession, citing inaction and seeking self-preservation instead of loyalty.

Half an hour later, Bai Minghe took two confessions and his own transcript and entered the temple again. Zhu Qiyu will definitely not sleep this night, too many things will happen this night. Many earth-shattering things happen mostly at night, and this one is no exception.

Shira-chan Crane still entered the main hall and knelt behind Shira-chan Tsuru.

"Someone dead outside the door?"

"If you go back to Long live, Lord Yang Zhu committed suicide. Leave a book: The minister is guilty, ashamed of the emperor! Bai Minghe reported truthfully, but he was somewhat puzzled in his heart, because he had sent someone to inform the Ming Emperor.

Zhu Qiyu said: "Someone is coming, and I decree that no one is allowed to come in except you and Xing'an, and no one is allowed to speak." ”

Bai Minghe understood, but he couldn't guess Zhu Qiyu's purpose for doing this.

"The white name of the crane, the difference in the words may change the meaning. I can't listen to it right now, and I can't allow anyone to do it behind my back. Xing'an came to report, and now even he doesn't dare to say who was her person back then, Wang Zhen has been operating in the palace for more than ten years, and at this time, it is inevitable that someone will risk his life! ”

"Long live the minister! However, the minister thought that it was the best policy to grasp the big and let go of the small, and it was estimated that the resistance would be great if he grasped them all. And it's likely that there will be unexpected changes when they are all grasped. Therefore, long live the minister, and according to that article, confess leniently and resist strictly. Give the many who follow the crowd a chance to mend their ways. ”

Zhu Qiyu clapped his hands: "Very good, what you said is very good." But I don't take the initiative to say that, you can go. Got it? ”

"I understand!"

"Tell me, what's the progress?" Zhu Qiyu pulled the topic back again.

Bai Minghe sent the two confessions, and Zhu Qiyu commented after reading them: "Actually, the truth is obvious, the power is so great that hundreds of officials avoid it." Chen Xundu could only seek self-preservation, Yu Qian was also seeking survival, but Wang Lao was forced to resign. What can the rest of the people do, as you played, and follow the crowd and follow the thief. Go out and call Da Cai in. ”

The white crane retreated to the door and let Gonggong Cai enter the main hall of the Taimiao.

"Passing the decree, Yang Zhu posthumously sealed the title of Qian Xianhou, plus the Taishi. Back then, Yang Lao was also in my palace for a long time, and he committed suicide because of the death of my son. There are also mistakes in your white name, and you shouldn't mention too many things in front of him. It was not easy for Yang Lao in those years, he and Yang Shiqi were close friends, but they were friends and not moral, but few people except me believed that he and Yang Shiqi were not all the way. One more sentence, Yang Zhu's sons and grandsons are two levels higher. Enjoy two rare pieces, and deal with them by the sea division. ”

Zhu Qiyu shed a few tears, Yang Zhu is indeed an old man with high morality.

"That's it, next order. Quasi-Shi Pu Zhishi, with the title of Shangshu for the elderly. ”

After Cai Gonggong finished writing, he still needed to use the seal in the celebrant supervisor. After letting Zhu Qiyu read it, he was ready to withdraw with two holy decrees in his hand. Bai Minghe said: "Long live, it's better to summon Lord Wang to return to Beijing to resume his post, even if it is idle." ”

"Yes, I will be awarded the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, and I will assist in the affairs of the Ministry of War!" Zhu Qiyu gave a real job.

is to take as much as Yu Qian, but in terms of official position, he is at the level of Yu Qian's assistant, helping Yu Qian manage the affairs of the military department.

The three decrees represent three signals.

It's time to turn over old accounts, and it's time to take revenge. Then let go of some people who confessed their sins and confessed, and who had merits for the Ming Dynasty. Those who suffered in those years and those who were implicated will be invited back to reuse.

After Gonggong Cai went out, Zhu Qiyu's mood was much more relaxed: "Why did you say that Chen Xun, the old fox." can be described as an old fox, Zhu Qiyu's heart has calmed down a lot.

Bai Minghe took out his notebook: "Long live, the minister has been thinking about this for too long. It's just taking this opportunity to take it out, and the officials are most worried about meeting a faint king, and of course the people are also afraid of this. So the minister wrote this thing and increased some of the powers of the cabinet. ”

Zhu Qiyu took the notebook and looked at it.

In fact, it is not a big deal, that is, the cabinet has the right to request reconsideration of the holy decrees that are particularly heavy and affect the fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, and the right to veto the decrees made by the Ming Emperor when he is drunk or delirious. Then there is the ordinary official business in the prefecture and county, establish a set of handling procedures, and the small things within a certain range can be done according to the regulations, only need to be recorded, and there is no need to consult the Ming Emperor for everything.

Compared with the Ming Dynasty, the power of the cabinet after the Zhengde Dynasty can only be regarded as scratching the surface.

But at this time, when the Ming Emperor wants to purge the people who have set up the imperial power and regain the imperial power, the weight of this book is not light.

Chen Xun couldn't be unmoved, it was impossible for him not to react at all.

At present, the cabinet is not as good as a secretariat, and it has only done some things that have been uploaded and handed down, and it has not dealt with any real major matters at all.

In terms of power, the cabinet is not as good as the six books.

"It's okay, and I think it's good. But two more items have been added, one is that I cannot only veto the five-year revision of the regulations, but must allow me to agree that the regulations can be finalized. Of course, it also gives them a little benefit, in the event of serious disasters, foreign wars, and the normal appointment and dismissal of the six Shangshu, my decision cabinet has the right of veto. But if forty percent of the cabinet supports me, then the veto power is invalid! (To be continued......)
