"Jinyiwei handles the case, and the idle people wait to avoid it." As soon as Ma An's words fell, the Jinyi Guard behind him chased after him, and the two Jinyi Guard captains held him up one left and one right, and one Jinyi Guard said to Li Yuntian expressionlessly.

Don't look at Li Yuntian as a fourth-grade official, but this Jinyiwei Baihu is not afraid, the princes and ministers who have fallen into the hands of Jinyiwei abound, and a small fourth-grade official has not been put in his eyes.

The only thing that surprised him a little was that the fourth-rank civil official in front of him was too young, and he didn't seem to be in his thirties.

"This is Lord Zuo Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Xie Heng saw that the brocade-clothed guard had an arrogant attitude, so he sneered and quietly pointed out Li Yuntian's identity.

"Zuo Du Yushi?" The brocade-clothed guard Baihu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted Li Yuntian, "I've seen Master Hou in my humble position!" ”

Li Yuntian's triumph of leading the army has caused a sensation in the entire capital yesterday, and the hundred households who are the Jinyi Guards naturally know that Li Yuntian is in the Taihe Palace, and Emperor Xuande has become the emperor of the Imperial Palace.

Not to mention that Li Yuntian is a celebrity in front of Emperor Xuande, the close relationship between Li Manshan, one of the five thousand households of Beizhen Fusi, and Li Yuntian is enough to make this Jinyi Wei Baihu respectful to Li Yuntian.

Li Manshan can now be said to be the most popular among the five thousand households in Beizhen Fusi, and he has won the favor of Emperor Xuande.

"Why did you take Ma Yushi away?" Facing this former and respectful brocade-clothed guard, Li Yuntian didn't care about his previous collision, and asked quietly.

"Lord Hou, the lowly is responsible for assisting the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate the corrupt officials, and the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who is responsible for investigating the case already has evidence of Ma Yushi's acceptance of bribes, so he was ordered to bring Ma Yushi back for interrogation."

This brocade-clothed guard has been keenly aware that there seems to be a friendship between Li Yuntian and Ma An, otherwise Ma An would never ask Li Yuntian for help, he didn't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he methodically chose himself from this matter.

"There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, this official has never accepted bribes, you are framed!" Ma An immediately sneered when he heard this, don't be angry.

"Ma Yushi, Zai is just an errand worker, and he was ordered to handle the case, and I don't know how the case is." The brocade-clothed guard Baihu sneered and did not answer Ma An's question.

"In this case, you go back first and wait for Benhou to find out about this matter before making a decision." Li Yuntian was quite excited when he saw Ma An's feelings, and realized that there was a hidden secret in it, so he groaned for a while, and said to the brocade-clothed guard without moving.

"Obedience." Hearing this, Jinyi Wei Baihu arched his hand to Li Yuntian, and led his lieutenant to leave in a hurry.

"Brother Ma, how about sitting with me?" Then, Li Yuntian smiled and said to Ma An, who was full of anger.

"Brother Li, please!" Ma An, who was frightened, came back to his senses, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, his heart was mixed, if it wasn't for Li Yuntian to give him a head today, he would not have escaped and was taken to the edict of Fusi in Beizhen.

There is a good saying, why can't Miki ask for it, he doesn't think he can withstand the torture in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, and he will be at the mercy of others at that time.

In the public house of Zuo Du Yushi, Li Yuntian, Xie Heng, and Ma An sat down as guests.

The room was cleaned and spotless, and yesterday Xie Heng specially called people to clean it after learning that Li Yuntian had been promoted to the imperial history of Zuo Yidu.

"Brother Ma, what's going on?" After waiting for the people to finish serving tea and leave, Li Yuntian quietly asked Ma An, who had gradually calmed down.

"Master Li, it's ashamed to say it, it's all caused by Tan Jing and Bing Jing."

Ma An hesitated when he heard this, and then a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he looked at Li Yuntian with a wry smile and said, "Lord Li also knows that every summer and winter, the local government will send Tan Jing and Bing Jing to the local government, and the salaries of Beijing officials are meager, and many people are counting on Tan Jing and Bing Jing to live, so the emperor also turns a blind eye to this, but who would have thought that now it has become an excuse for Gu Zuo to dump dissent." ”

"Dumping dissidents?" Li Yuntian's brows furrowed slightly, because he was far away, he only knew about some major events in the capital, and he didn't know some of the inside affairs of the various ministries and courtyards in the capital.

Although Li Yuntian still doesn't know where the tension in the Metropolitan Procuratorate comes from, it is certain that this situation is not normal, and now that he has heard many times as soon as he enters the door, Gu Zuo's party has repeatedly attacked and disagreed, so there must be something hidden in it.

"Master Li, do you know that the more than thirty imperial histories who were replaced by Gu Zuo are all disciples of those adults in the six departments?" Seeing Li Yuntian's puzzled look, Ma An knew that he didn't know the inside story, so he hesitated for a moment, glanced at Xie Heng and asked with a gloomy expression.

"Six?" Li Yuntian was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't know why Ma An wanted to involve the hall officials of the Sixth Department, and then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but look at Xie Heng on the side.

Xie Heng nodded slightly, a look of helplessness appeared on his face, he wanted to mention this matter to Li Yuntian, but he didn't expect to be taken a step ahead by Ma An.

"I see!" Seeing Xie Heng nodding, Li Yuntian's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he said secretly in his heart, no wonder there is now a lot of noise in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are soldiers in the grass, it turns out that this involves a complicated power struggle.

"Brother Ma, you go back first, and the official will give you an explanation after investigating this matter." Now that the source of the tension in the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been clarified, it doesn't matter whether Ma An is corrupt or not, Li Yuntian pondered for a while, and said solemnly to Xie Heng.

"Thank you, Master Lee." Ma An immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and bowed to Li Yuntian to thank him, and then left with a relaxed step.

Although Ma An was very hostile to Li Yuntian before, he believed that Li Yuntian was a person, and since Li Yuntian said that he would give him an explanation, he would definitely deal with this matter.

"Brother Xie, have you heard anything hidden?" After Ma An left, Li Yuntian looked at Xie Heng quietly, Xie Heng must have known a lot of gossip in the capital.

"Brother Li, do you know how Lord Liu Guan and Lord Liu fell?" Xie Heng knew that there were some things that Li Yuntian could find out if he didn't say it, so he smiled slightly and asked Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

"Something to do with the Cabinet?" Li Yuntian naturally knew that Liu Guan was imprisoned because of corruption and bribery, and it was obvious that Xie Heng would not test him with such a shallow question, he must have meant something, so his brows furrowed slightly, and he replied lightly.

"The reason why Liu Guan fell, in addition to his corruption and perversion of the law, his mentor and Lord Yang played a vital role." Xie Heng immediately laughed when he heard this, he knew that this matter was difficult for Li Yuntian, and then told the secret he knew one by one.

Xie Heng's mentor naturally refers to Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, in March of the fifth year of Xuande, Emperor Xuande summoned Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong to Wenhuamen after the early dynasty, and asked earnestly: "When the ancestors were in power, the courtiers were respectful. Over the years, greed has become the norm, why not? ”

The ancestors here refer to Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle of Ming Taizong, which means that Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle were able to be cautious and self-defending, but they have been greedy recently, I don't know why.

Emperor Xuande's question was sensitive, with his implementation of the national policy of recuperation and recuperation, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty became stronger and stronger, but the corruption in the officialdom also flourished, and the officials were proud of luxury when they feasted, attracting a large number of official prostitutes to accompany and play at the banquet.

"Yongle has been at the end, and now it is very eary." In the face of Emperor Xuande's question, Yang Shiqi's answer was very cautious, telling Emperor Xuande that in the last years of Yongle, the officials had begun to be corrupt and hedonistic, and now the situation is just aggravated, and it has nothing to do with Emperor Xuande, so Emperor Xuande does not need to blame himself in this matter.

"When you are happy, there is no more than a guest." Yang Rong's answer was meaningful, and he pointed out a person to Emperor Xuande, accusing Emperor Xuande of Fang Bin as the biggest corrupt official in the Yongle Dynasty.

Fang Bin used to be the secretary of the Ming Dynasty, because he angered the Yongle Emperor during the Yongle Emperor's northern expedition, so he was afraid in his heart, hanged himself, and was later killed by the Yongle Emperor to vent his anger.

"Who is the worst today?" Yang Rong's answer naturally aroused Emperor Xuande's interest, and he asked Yang Rong a question, wondering who is the biggest corrupt official now.

"Zuodu Yushi Liu Guan!" Yang Rong didn't hesitate at all, and pushed Liu Guan out in one bite.

"Liu Guan?" Emperor Xuande was taken aback when he heard this, Liu Guan was the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, that is, the highest official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he never thought that this person would become a huge greedy person anyway.

"Your Majesty, as far as the ministers know, Liu Guan is corrupt and corrupt by virtue of his identity as the imperial history of the left capital, his life is extremely luxurious, and the party is the same as the other, and he instructed his subordinates to impeach and besiege dissidents in the imperial court, which is really a great crime!"

Yang Rong bowed his hand to Emperor Xuande and said solemnly, "Under his influence, the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate has become corrupt, and it is no longer possible to fulfill the duty of supervising hundreds of officials. ”

Emperor Xuande's face suddenly became ugly, the imperial history was a sharp weapon he used to supervise the capital and local officials, and now it was so corrupt and degenerate, it was simply incredible.

However, because this matter was very important, Emperor Xuande couldn't just listen to Yang Rong's words, so he then looked at Yang Shiqi and wanted to ask Yang Shiqi for confirmation.

Yang Shiqi didn't speak, but just nodded to Emperor Xuande, affirming what Yang Rong said.

"Two Aiqing, who can take over the imperial history of Zuodu?" Emperor Xuande no longer doubted it now, he believed that Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong would not slander an important minister in front of him, so he asked angrily.

"The general political envoy Gu Zuo was born in the two lists, fair and honest, full of prestige, Ren Jing Zhao Yin is clear and clear, and the ills are all reformed, so he can take over the imperial history of Zuodu." Yang Shiqi groaned for a while, and launched a candidate in a deep voice.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Yang Rong nodded when he heard this, bowed his hand to Emperor Xuande, and agreed with Yang Shiqi's suggestion.

As a result, Emperor Xuande transferred Gu Zuo as the right deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, secretly investigated Liu Guan's corruption, and sent Liu Guan out of Beijing to inspect the local rivers so as not to obstruct Gu Zuo's investigation.

In other words, the reason why Gu Zuo was able to become the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was completely due to the recommendation of Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong.
