When Zhou Yuting was in the Warden Office, the Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and the six departments of the Ministry of Justice, gathered in groups in their respective yamen, and talked privately about the smashing of Wu Shaoqing's home.

The so-called clear stream in the court refers to the Hanlin, Yushi and Liuke to give these officials, they are also the representatives of the court sergeant and doctor class, praise and disparage the current affairs, omit the words, impeach the court officials, is a huge political force in the court, and is also an important force for the emperor to control the hundred officials.

One of the most obvious characteristics of these Qingliu is that except for a very small number of people who have received the emperor's favor and become speech officials, the rest are Jinshi who were born in the imperial examination, and only those who were born in the two rankings are eligible to become Qingliu.

The affairs of Wu Shaoqing's family made the Qingliu people in the court indignant, so they gathered together to discuss to seek justice for Wu Shaoqing, and at the same time to protect the interests of the scholar class.

Stimulated by the great changes in his family, Wu Shaoqing went to the Hanlin Academy as soon as he was on duty, and came to his public house to lie down in front of the desk and write a book, wanting to impeach the Venerable Master Yuanxia of the demon Dao for bewitching the sacred heart, slandering the country and hiring murderers.

The high-ranking officials of the Hanlin Academy, such as the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, the bachelor of the chamberlain, and the bachelor of the chamberlain, all came to visit Wu Shaoqing in the public house, expressing sympathy for the plight of his family and expressing their indignation at the evil deeds of the murderers, and they all sided with him and expressed their solidarity with him.

After writing the note of impeachment, Wu Shaoqing rushed straight to Wenyuan Pavilion, handed over the note to Yang Rong, the second assistant of the cabinet, and then stood in the courtyard of Wenyuan Pavilion and waited.

Yang Rong naturally knew that the Venerable Yuan Xia did not have the guilt of Wu Shaoqing's impeachment, and to put it bluntly, it was just a pretext used by the queen to cover up people's ears, but he couldn't say it clearly, so he could only take delaying countermeasures, planning to drag this matter down, and the truth would be revealed when the prince entered Beijing.

But what happened next surprised Yang Rong, those Hanlin who were on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion actually put down their affairs one after another and stood silently behind Wu Shaoqing to show their support for him.

The affairs of Wenyuan Pavilion need to be handled by those Hanlin on duty, and their resignation, the operation of Wenyuan Pavilion suddenly came to a standstill.

Yang Rong knew that what happened to Wu Shaoqing's family had aroused the anger of the Hanlins, and he knew that he could not force those Hanlin who shared the same hatred and hatred to reinstate, so he hurriedly entered the palace to report to Empress Zhang, asking Empress Zhang to make a decision.

Empress Zhang felt cold after hearing the news, she was now enough to have a headache about Zhang Wang and Wu Shaoqing, but she didn't expect those Hanlin to come to join in the fun, and her heart was suddenly furious.

She originally wanted to severely punish those Hanlin who had stepped down to set an example, but was dissuaded by Yang Rong.

The attitude of these Hanlin in Wenyuan Pavilion is the attitude of those clear streams in the court, once these dismissed Hanlin are punished, then those clear streams in the court must be excited and do more radical things.

Since the Qingliu people regard themselves as the leaders of the scholar class, they naturally also have the spirit of the scholars who are not afraid of power and life and death, and in their opinion, reputation is more important than life, and they will definitely rise up to fight and seek justice for Wu Shaoqing and those who punished the dismissed Hanlin.

Even if some Qingliu does not want to get involved in this matter, they have to join in due to the general trend, otherwise they will fall into a notoriety of deceiving the world and stealing fame, and their reputation and reputation will be completely ruined.

At that time, the queen will face the Qingliu group of the entire court, and those Qingliu "are strong when they are strong", and the more they face the high-powered ministers, the stronger they will be, so as to show their character and honor.

The queen mother of the world, can be said to be the second most noble figure in the Ming Dynasty in addition to the emperor, those Qingliu dare to die in the face of the emperor, not to mention in the face of Queen Zhang, if Queen Zhang takes drastic measures, wouldn't it just give them a chance to become famous?

Yang Rong was also from Qingliu, so he naturally knew everything about Qingliu, so he dissuaded Empress Zhang from punishing those Hanlin who were out of duty, so as not to stir up bigger waves.

Empress Zhang is not the kind of person who is stubborn and self-serving, and after Yang Rong's persuasion, the anger in her heart gradually dissipated, and she went to the Imperial Garden to see Yang Shiqi and Qianyi and listen to their opinions.

Yang Shiqi and Qianyi, like Yang Rong, did not approve of punishing those Hanlin who were out of duty, so as not to exacerbate the situation, and at the same time, they also fell into the trap of the people behind the planning of this matter.

In the eyes of the two, the only way to do this today is to adopt a gentle strategy and try every means to drag down Wu Shaoqing's affairs to avoid a head-on conflict with those clear streams.

Counting from the day Li Yuntian left the capital, if the prince traveled a few days, he would arrive in the capital in a few days, and as long as the truth of Emperor Hongxi's death was made public, then no matter whether Zhang Wang's suicide or Wu Shaoqing's house was smashed, all the troubles would be solved.

Therefore, under the advice of Yang Shiqi and Qianyi, Empress Zhang asked Yang Rong to deal with Wu Shaoqing's superiors, and convened the cabinet and the senior members of the five governments and six ministries for consultation, which was regarded as giving Wu Shaoqing an explanation.

Master Yuanxia was chosen by Emperor Hongxi, and he was presiding over Emperor Hongxi's fasting and blessing ceremony, and Wu Shaoqing did not have any evidence in his hands, so it was not easy to impeach him.

Besides, Yang Rong, Huang Huai, Xia Yuanji, Zhang Hao and others in the cabinet and the five ministries and six ministries already knew what was going on, so how could they allow the Venerable Master Yuanxia to be impeached like this? He said that he would deal with the matter after the Venerable Master Yuanxia had finished giving Emperor Hongxi a decree, so as not to affect Emperor Hongxi's blessing to the Ming Dynasty.

Contrary to the expectations of Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Liu Guan, the imperial historian of the Zuodu of the Imperial Palace, Wu Shaoqing was humiliated and should have been seen as a joke by those nobles in the imperial court, but the governors such as Feng Chang'an of Wuning Hou and Gong Kui of Anwu showed great enthusiasm for Wu Shaoqing's matter, and clearly stated that they would immediately and strictly investigate the Venerable Yuanxia, which was not only to restore the Ming Dynasty, but also to the safety of Emperor Hongxi.

If you pay close attention, it is not difficult to find that the governors who supported the strict investigation of this matter either had a close personal relationship with the king of Han or were very close to the king of Han.

Yang Rong's side and Feng Chang'an's side had a huge disagreement over when to dispose of the Venerable Yuan Xia, and they quarreled and quarreled, but it was Lu Zhen, Liu Guan and others who acted as peacemakers and reconciled them.

If it weren't for Zhang Hao, Feng Changan and others to stop them, the two governors who had grievances would have almost made a move when they were excited.

In the constant quarrel between the two sides, time passed bit by bit, and until nightfall, everyone could not agree on when to dispose of Venerable Yuanxia, so they had to continue the discussion the next day.

After all, the cabinet and the five governments and six ministries have already intervened in the matter of Master Yuanxia, and their attitude has clearly stated that they will strictly investigate Master Yuanxia, but the difference is that there are objections to the time, which is not something they can control.

At night, a private house in the capital.

"Damn, those guys want to put things off until the end of the ceremony." In the hall, Zhu Zhanyu was quietly sipping tea, and Feng Changan, Fan Bin and others were sitting below, Gong Kui smashed his fist on the table, and said through gritted teeth.

If you continue to fight with Yang Rong and others, time will definitely drag on, and if you really wait until the end of the 7749-day ceremony, the crown prince may have already ascended the throne.

"Gong Hou, don't be impatient." Zhu Zhanyu smiled and put down the teacup in his hand when he heard this, "Now that we have the upper hand, are you afraid that they will be able to turn the sky upside down?" ”

It is very likely that the matter of the Venerable Yuan Xia is related to the Jiangshan Society of the Ming Dynasty, how could Yang Rong and the others let them promote this matter, they will definitely obstruct it, Zhu Zhanyu has long been mentally prepared for this.

"Little Prince, since Lord Yang and they are delaying time on the grounds that Master Yuanxia is presiding over the blessing ceremony for the emperor, then let's start with the emperor's safety." Fan Bin pondered for a moment, and then opened his mouth to propose a proposal to Zhu Zhanyu.

Since the heads of the major ministries and institutes who participated in the discussion today, that is, the six Shangshu, the Dali Siqing, the general political envoy and the imperial history of the left and right of the Imperial Procuratorate, Fan Bin was not qualified to attend, but this would not affect him in the slightest to give Zhu Zhanyu ideas.

"I'm afraid this is not appropriate, for it is a great sin to talk about the king." Qin Yongxiang, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help frowning, even Wu Shaoqing didn't dare to say that Emperor Hongxi was in danger in Shangshu, but only said that Venerable Yuan Xia was bewitching the Sacred Heart, and it was really not suitable for a noble of Feng Chang'an's level to mention this matter in the cabinet and the deliberations of the five governments and six ministries, otherwise it would be considered ill-intentioned.

"People like Wu Hanlin have never been afraid of life and death." Fan Bin smiled slightly, of course he would not let Feng Changan and the others get involved in this matter, and said to Zhu Zhanyu in a deep voice, "As long as Wu Hanlin believes that Master Yuanxia will use demon magic and then endanger the safety of the emperor, then he will definitely not sit idly by." ”

"How do you make him believe that Venerable Yuan Xia knows how to demons?" Zhu Zhanyu couldn't help but feel a little interested when he heard this, Wu Shaoqing is an excellent candidate, but Wu Shaoqing has also read the book of sages, so he naturally knows that "Zi Buyu is strange and confused".

"Little prince, the lower officials found out that Wu Hanlin has a friend of the same department in the court, named Zhao Yu, who is now serving in the Ministry of Rites, serving as the priest of the Ministry of Rites, if he can win the 'demon law' of the Venerable Master Yuanxia, Wu Hanlin will definitely be greatly touched." Fan Bin had been prepared and replied in an orderly manner.

"How did you get him into the demon law?" Zhu Zhanyu's eyes lit up and asked with interest.

"The lower officials have checked, although Zhao Yu is mediocre in quality, he is good at drilling camps, so he was able to climb to the position of the priest of the Ministry of Rites."

A smile appeared at the corner of Wu Shaoqing's mouth, "He often helps the Wu family, so Wu Hanlin regards him as a confidant, but it seems that he is not really befriending Wu Hanlin, but using Wu Hanlin, wanting to use Wu Hanlin's reputation to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Rites, if he can give him a rich future, then this person will definitely obey his words." ”

"Who is better to come forward in this matter?" Zhu Zhanyu bowed slightly when he heard this, if he could take down Zhao Yu, Wu Shaoqing would definitely fall for the scheme.

"Lord Qin is the left servant of the Criminal Department, if he comes forward to appease him, Zhao Yu will definitely throw himself under Lord Qin." Fan Bin smiled and looked at Qin Yongxiang on the side, Qin Yongxiang had the highest status among the civil officials present.

"Little prince, rest assured, the lower officials will definitely let this Zhao Yu bow his head." Qin Yongxiang didn't shirk it, he arched his hand at Zhu Zhanyu, and agreed in a deep voice.

"It is a blessing that the prince can have the help of all the adults." Zhu Zhanyu nodded with a smile, and said in a high-spirited manner, he wanted to see how Yang Rong's old guys broke his game. One
