"Immediately windy?"
"Yes, my lord, that's what Du Zhenfu said to Xiao." The little school that returned was very sure.
Guo Nu breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and squinted at Meng Yan, who was standing on the side flipping through the book, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The place where Guo Nu works, there is no order to trespass, let alone stay here, where does this young man come from?
"This official knows, you can go down!"
"Yes, sir!" The school hurriedly bowed and withdrew.
"Nephew, how did you do that?" Guo Nu asked Meng Yandao curiously.
"Uncle Guo, this kind of thing is not difficult for you, the senior of Jinyiwei, right?" Meng Yan smiled slightly, called uncle, this is what Guo Nu requested, and he is happy to do it.
Guo was angry, Meng Yan was right, Jin Yiwei did have a variety of means to kill people without being discovered, and he could even hide from his clever eyes.
"I've looked up Menda's medical history, and he's having heart palpitations, so I've done something about it." Meng Yan explained.
"The virtuous nephew is actually proficient in the art of Qihuang?" Guo Nu was greatly surprised.
"Understand!"
"Hehe, no wonder, the virtuous nephew is really a good skill." Guo said angrily.
"Uncle Guo praised it!" Meng Yan said, "I don't know what Uncle Guo plans to do next?" ”
Guo Nu didn't answer, Meng Yan thought about it for a while, and understood that Guo Nu didn't want people to know his inner thoughts, and all superiors didn't like their minds to be seen through by their subordinates, so there would be no sense of mystery, and subordinates would easily lose their awe.
"Virtuous nephew, you will stay in Nanya for the past two days, don't go out, if there is anything, I will inform you!" Guo Nu commanded.
"Understood!" As soon as Meng Yan arched his hand, he raised his feet and walked outside.
Smart, calm, and ruthless, Guo Nu looked at Meng Yan's back, and couldn't help but have a feeling of incomprehension in his heart.
Ten years of undercover, can you really change a person, will you be substituted?
Guo smiled angrily, his idea was too ridiculous, it was impossible for a stand-in to know so much, especially Meng Xian's past.
East Pavilion.
The eunuch Wang Zhen, the eunuch in charge of the celebrant and the eunuch, convened the six ministries of the cabinet and the ministers to discuss the meeting.
"Elder Ge, you can start!" Wang Zhen sat on his right, raised his eyelids slightly, and asked slowly.
"Are you all here?" Yang Pu, the head of the cabinet sitting on the left, cleared his voice and asked.
"Ge Lao, Dong Weng, everyone is here!" The official in charge of the following replied.
"Okay, now that everyone has arrived, today's cabinet meeting has begun, let's still follow the old rules, starting from the sixth, one by one!"
“……”
Start reporting work one by one, discuss and solve small things directly, and report after summarizing opinions on major matters, please judge!
This seems to be quite democratic and efficient, but this is all superficial, and the hidden swords and swords can be understood by non-ordinary people.
The cutscenes of the six parts are over, almost an hour and a half have passed, everyone looks a little tired, the tea in the cup has been renewed three times, and it has long been tasteless.
"Is there an excerpt in the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"Dong Weng, Ge Lao, Li Duo, the imperial history of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate, impeached the hundred households of Jinyi Wei and occupied the houses!" Chen Yi, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, got up and said.
"Jinyi Wei occupies the house, have you found it out?" Wang Zhen raised his eyelids slightly and asked unhurriedly.
"The facts are there, but there is no bitter master in this case, so ......"
Everyone was shocked, the things discussed before were all lacklustre, most of the old tunes were repeated, unresolved, and finally a fresh one came up, and it was related to Jinyiwei, which was not lively now.
"There is no bitter master, isn't Lord Chen making fun of us?" Wang You, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, sneered.
"Although there is no bitter master, but the facts are there, is it because there is no bitter master, can you occupy people's houses at will?" Chen Yi reprimanded angrily.
"Lord Chen, can you tell us about the case?" Yang Pu said calmly.
"Elder Ge, Dong Weng, can you ask Li Duo himself to tell you and Dong Weng the details of the case?"
"What do you mean?" The scene was cold, and Yang Pu asked Wang Zhendao.
Everyone looked at Wang Zhen, although Jinyiwei was not under Wang Zhen's control, but the commander Ma Shun was recommended by Wang Zhen, if Wang Zhen did not agree, this case could only be handled internally by Jinyiwei, and when the time came, I am afraid it would not be over.
Wang Zhen showed a slight expression of disgust, this imperial history Li Duo has been against him in the court, he really wants to find an opportunity to get rid of this person, but he has not been able to find an excuse.
"Lord Chen, if what Li Duo said does not match, what crime should he be guilty of?" Wang Zhendao, he knew that today he was going to forcibly press down, and when it came to the 15th Dynasty, Li Duo would inevitably stab the case directly in front of the emperor.
"False accusation!"
"Jinyi Wei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and only those with good conduct can fill the position, Lord Chen, if there is no evidence, and you can't say anything!"
The meaning is obvious, although Jinyiwei is not as powerful as before, it is not something that can be offended lightly, once it is not good, these people will not reason with you, and when the time comes, find a crime and throw it into prison, then life is better than death!
"Isn't there a small person in the Son of Heaven's army?" Chen Yi asked loudly as he looked around.
"Lord Chen, be cautious!" Chen Xun, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, hurriedly reminded.
"Okay, it's useless for me to argue again, since Lord Chen's words are conclusive, then let's listen to the words of the imperial historian Li Duo, how about it?" The secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu Wang stood up and said strongly.
"Lord Kim, what do you see?"
"Listen to it!" Jin Lian, the secretary of the Criminal Department, nodded.
Wang Zhen frowned in disgust, although he really wanted to dominate the government, but there were still some people in the court who were unwilling to cooperate with him and repeatedly opposed him, and now most people agreed, if he didn't agree, he was afraid that it would cause public anger, so he also complied with everyone's wishes and agreed to let Li Duo tell the case in person.
A young imperial historian dressed in a cyan official robe, raised his head and walked into the East Pavilion Hall with his head held high.
"Xiaguan Li Duo see Yang Ge Lao, my lords, my lords!"
"What an unruly madman, why don't you kneel when you see Dong Weng?" Behind Wang Zhen, a young eunuch scolded Li Duo.
"I am the imperial history of the dynasty, except for the prince of heaven and earth, who can let me kneel?" Li Duo said proudly.
"Bold!"
"Li Duo, don't be informal!" Chen Yi reminded in a low voice.
Li Duo didn't move, as if he hadn't heard his boss's reminder at all, and just stood there, looking at Wang Zhen coldly.
Wang Zhen wanted to drag Li Duo out of the court staff for a hundred, but he couldn't find a reason for Li Duo to be the court staff.
If you insist on forcing Li Duo to kneel, hehe, even if he covers the sky with one hand, I am afraid that he will incur the dissatisfaction of the ministers, this is not a joke.
This is in the East Pavilion, the place where the ministers of the six ministries of the cabinet deliberate, and if this spreads, the spitting stars of the clear stream of the Manchu Dynasty can drown him.
"Forget it, it's important!" Wang Zhen waved his hand, meaning that this matter was over.
"Li Duo, tell the adults and Dong Weng what you have found in your investigation!" Chen Yi sighed secretly, this Li Duo has completely offended Wang Zhen, and I am afraid that he will be retaliated against, and the blessings and misfortunes are unpredictable!
"Xia Guan understands!"
"Pavilion elders, my lords, the name of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei to be participated in by the lower officials is called Lan Dou, presumably you have all heard the name of this person, this person was recently beaten by a young man at the door of his own house, and took away the official uniform and the identity of the Jinyi Wei waist card, belonging to the Jinyi Wei North Town Fu Si Chaoyangmen Thousand Households, the dignified Jinyi Wei was actually beaten by someone, this is incredible in the first good district of the capital, the lower official felt strange, so he investigated it privately, only to find that this Jinyi Wei hundred households named Lan Dou are actually bad deeds, and the home he did, It was not his own home at all, but six years ago, he forcibly occupied the house of a man named Meng Xian, Meng Xian drowned eight years ago, leaving a house and handed it over to a friend to take care of, according to the investigation of the lower officials, Meng Xian had a son, who disappeared ten years ago......"
"A child who has been missing for ten years is afraid that he has long since died!" Wang You, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, said, "It is normal for the court to take back the ownerless house and then give it to the relevant officials. ”
"Having said that, this mansion was not repossessed by the imperial court, and then handed over to others to live in as rewards or other means." Li Duo said, "Instead, this Lan Dou applied to Daxing County for a reissue on the grounds that his home was burned and the title deed and house deed were burned, and all the relevant contracts were reissued, achieving his goal of occupying other people's real estate!" ”
"Is there such a thing?" Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said "Huh" and asked softly.
"It's true, Xiaguan has the stubs of Daxing County's land deeds and house deeds for Lan Dou back then, as well as the testimony written by the scribe who handled this matter!" Li Duo had obviously collected the evidence neatly a long time ago.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is the old stub of the house, this is the Lan Dou re-issued, the lower official has checked the sale and transfer of this house, this house is the second year of the first emperor Xuande, when the Jinyi Wei Han General Meng Xian bought it from the hands of an official surnamed Song, the official surnamed Song because of the promotion, this house is of little use, so it was sold to Meng Xian, Meng Xian died in the second year of orthodoxy, during this period there is no record of the sale or transfer of the house, although there is a stub of the original contract, but the original contract has not been seen, and the lower official has been investigated, when Lan Dou invaded Meng's house, a person surnamed Zhang once complained everywhere, but was convicted of false accusations and seriously injured......"
Li Duo told the story eloquently, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and completely restored the criminal process of Lan Dou of Jinyi Wei Baihu using despicable means to occupy Meng's house, and also persecuting the reported neighbors.
"This Lan Dou grabbed people's houses, and falsely accused others, causing people to be disabled, he is simply the scum in Jinyiwei!" The official Shangshu Wang, who has always been upright and outspoken, said angrily.
"Yes, it's too unusual, how can this kind of person still be a Jinyi Wei Baihu......"
"It should be severely punished, and the official should be dismissed!"
“……”
The civilian clique has always disliked spy organizations like Jinyiwei, and they certainly don't miss this opportunity to rectify Jinyiwei like this.
What's more, now Jinyiwei has the tendency to rely on the East Factory, once Jinyiwei is fully directed to the East Factory and falls to the eunuchs headed by Wang Zhen, it is conceivable that there is anyone else in this court who can compete?
The emperor's trust in Wang Zhen is simply unreasonable, Wang Zhen was too humble before, and most of the court was confused, the old queen mother was there, Wang Zhen did not dare to be too authoritarian, and now the old queen mother is gone, the emperor is too trusted, and the major affairs in the court are almost controlled by Wang Zhen alone, and the cabinet has gone to the second of the three Yangs, leaving one Yang Pu to support hard, if he is gone, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be taken under Wang Zhen's obscenity.
