On the Jinluan Palace, Zhengde was drowsy, and the ministers below were arguing with high spirits, and it was almost the end of the year, and all aspects of government affairs should be summarized, and who should be rewarded and punished should be discussed clearly, which often involves a wide range of people, and everyone naturally has to strive for reason without giving in.

Duan Fei's recital has added a lot of new items to the content of the quarrel, such as why is it that the couple is a negative image of being overjoyed, bold, abandoning their duties without permission, and being too rash with outsiders, or a hero who is wise and resolute and solves the country's problems regardless of danger? Everyone quarreled, and some people even suspected that all the news came from Jinyiwei, which may not be true, and it needs to be verified by many parties.

How did something that was so simple in Zhengde's view become so complicated? He only listened drowsily, and kept muttering in his heart: "Didn't Duan Aiqing say that he went to the temple today?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”

At this moment, Xiao Huangmen, who was standing outside the main hall gate, suddenly ran in and said, "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have commanded Duan Fei to return to Jin. ”

Zhengde perked up and said, "Announce him in." ”

Duan Fei held the holy decree in his hand, walked from the main hall outside the hall with a cane, and said to Zhengde after paying homage: "Your Majesty, Weichen was ordered to track down the remnants of the Demon Sect, and so far 1,135 Demon Sect disciples have been captured and verified, including three Demon Sect branch masters, and more than 50 people under the helm and incense masters. ”

Zhengde Dayue said: "Aiqing is really the pillar of the country, any difficult thing can be solved in the hands of Aiqing, Aiqing has worked hard, come here, show Duan Aiqing, Duan Aiqing, your hands and feet are ......"

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Thank you for the emperor's care, the minister's hands and feet were broken from the horse, the minister is from Jiangnan, he has never ridden a horse since he was a child, and his riding skills are not good, the emperor laughed, the minister will definitely practice equestrianism hard in the future, and he will not let the old things repeat themselves." ”

Zhengde knew that Duan Fei's hands and feet were broken when he rolled down the mountain when he escaped outside the pass, so he cooperated and said: "Aiqing should be careful in the future, I want to use more of your place, you don't fall here and there, you will be injured all over your body, but I am not." ”

The two monarchs and ministers laughed in the main hall, and the others were not happy, and Shi Xuan, the secretary of the ministry, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Duan has only been in office for a short time, and he can catch more than a thousand remnants of the Demon Sect near the Jingshi, which is really admirable, but the Demon Sect disciples have always been extremely hidden, I don't know how Lord Duan found out and arrested them with real evidence?" Weichen received a few papers, accusing Jinyiwei of arresting people without evidence, I have brought the papers, please check the emperor! ”

Zhengde looked at Duan Fei with some concern, Duan Fei was sitting on the chair but the old god was there, not panicked, the eunuch of the palace took the paper and handed it to Zhengde, Zhengde glanced at Duan Fei and said, "Duan Aiqing, what can you do about this?" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Emperor Mingjian, I haven't seen this paper, I don't know if the complainant wrote when and where he was arrested?" ”

Zhengde looked down and looked at it again, and said: "This first piece of paper said that her husband left home late at night and did not return, and the news came on the second day that he was arrested and taken to Jinyiwei...... Well...... Strange, were all these people caught the same night? The reasons for going out of home are all strange, and there are even people who say that they went out to find friends to play "Daming Card". ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Emperor Mingjian, our Jinyi Wei didn't come to arrest people, why did these people leave home in the middle of the night?" Why do a group of people who have nothing to do with each other gather in the wilderness? Why was he dressed as a night walker and trying to arrest him with a sharp weapon when he was arrested? Dissatisfied with the emperor, Weichen fell off the horse in the middle of the night to catch thieves and injured his hands and feet, these complainants don't even know what their families are doing when they go out late at night, and they dare to come to complain, it's ridiculous, if they received these papers in Jinyiwei, they would have been beaten out by the sticks, Lord Shi has been an official for decades, even if he has not served in the Ministry of Rites, he should see something wrong from these papers, right? Why can't you see it? Could it be that Lord Feishi is really old? ”

"You ......" Shi Xuan was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he couldn't refute a word, he was in a hurry to bring down Duan Fei, and he didn't discuss it with Zhang Zilin and others, and took it out without careful consideration, thinking that it was a top weapon, but he didn't expect that these papers were flawed and couldn't withstand any scrutiny, it was a failure, and an old face suddenly turned red.

Zhengde praised: "Duan Aiqing is really astute, without looking at it, he dismissed these papers as useless, Wang Aiqing, you are not a secretary of the Ministry of Rites, why did you receive these papers?" Could it be that those Diao people didn't go to the Ministry of Rites to complain, but went directly to the Ministry of Officials? ”

Zhang Zilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Officials has also received a few similar papers before, but they have all been persuaded by Weichen to reason, but I didn't expect them to still not give up, and actually handed the paper to Lord Shi, Lord Shi is bent on avenging the people, presumably it was a moment of negligence." ”

Zhang Zilin cleared himself and helped Shi Xuan with his hand, as long as Shi Xuan came down the steps, it would be fine, but Shi Xuan turned purple, his eyes widened, and he shouted: "Your Majesty, the old minister admitted his mistake in this matter, but dare to ask Lord Duan, you killed people overnight, and arrested more than 1,000 people in half a month, among them, do you dare to say that you didn't catch the wrong person and killed the wrong person?" ”

This old guy has repeatedly made things difficult, Duan Fei has been a little unbearable, he sneered: "Lord Shi suspects me of favoritism and fraud to arrest people indiscriminately? Emperor Mingjian, Weichen learned from confidential channels that many people from the Demon Sect have infiltrated the imperial court, and some of them have not small official positions, maybe there are spies of the Demon Sect in the hall today, originally I didn't want to tell my method of catching the remnants of the Demon Sect in the public, but since Wang Shangshu ignored the facts and was aggressive for no reason, then I had to tell the truth, and in the future, I would arrest the remnants of the Demon Sect, and ask the emperor to appoint Lord Shi to go. ”

Zhengde was concerned about another question today, but he was stabbed sideways by Shi Xuan, and he was also a little unhappy in his heart, he frowned and said: "The matter is big, eradicating the Demon Sect is the most important, Duan Aiqing still don't talk about it." ”

Duan Fei looked at Shi Xuan proudly and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been forced to go to Liangshan, if you don't make it clear today, maybe someone will make waves in this matter in the future, Lord Shi, listen well, I can successfully capture these remnants of the Demon Sect is actually very simple, in the previous battle of Taiping, I found a Demon Sect Secret Word Manual, and afterwards I blocked the news, and marked the secret words around the capital to gather the remnants of the Demon Sect, these Demon Sects are very deep, and it is difficult to get the latest news, under the call of the Secret Word, They crawled out of the hole like rats deep underground, and converged to the address left by the minister, and the minister laid a net to catch one by one, because everyone has to whisper to the upper incision, so there is absolutely no possibility of catching a mistake, Lord Shi can understand? Once the news comes out, this trick will be useless, and the remnants of the Demon Sect will inevitably clap their hands and celebrate, and Lord Shi will also be happy, right? ”

Duan Fei explained the process of his arrest, and finally viciously alluded to Shi Fei being the remnant of the Demon Sect hidden in the court, except for Zhengde, everyone else understood, Shi Fei was only so angry that his head was swollen, he pointed at Duan Fei and couldn't speak, his head was bruised, and suddenly the sky spun around, and he fell straight back.

Zhang Zilin, who was standing next to Shi Xuan, quickly hugged Shi Xuan, and there was a panic in the main hall, and Zhengde shouted: "Come on, pass on the imperial doctor, quickly send Lord Shi to the side hall to rest, quickly!" ”

Shi Xuan was carried out by two Han generals, and Zhengde sighed: "Lord Shi is really old, I want to open the sutra feast at the beginning of the year, and Lord Shi discussed the Tao at the sutra feast, involving the past and the present, and all learnings, learning from the past and the present, and expounding the way of governing the country, how wonderful it is, but unfortunately, the years are not forgiving, Lord Shi is sixty-five years old this year......

Everyone was silent, only a white-haired official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Shi Xuan is not confused, he is just so angry that he faints, Shi Xuan is an honest and upright official, and he is known to be virtuous, but Lord Duan alludes to him as a remnant of the Demon Sect, how can he afford such slander?" Please the emperor to see! ”

This person is Shi Jue, the elder brother of Shi Xuan, who is also upright, and when he saw that his younger brother had been wronged, he couldn't help but stand up and speak for his younger brother.

Zhengde said impatiently: "Okay, everyone has heard Duan Aiqing's words, how could he accuse Lord Shi of being a remnant of the Demon Sect?" Time is precious in the early dynasty, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, Duan Aiqing, you have been busy catching thieves these days, have you ever paid attention to things outside the gate? ”

Duan Fei replied: "Your Majesty, although Wechen is busy going back and forth, Wechen has been paying attention to the news of Jinyiwei, and what the emperor asked is why the hundred households in Jinyi are wise and brave and prosperous outside the Guan, right?" ”

Zhengde smiled: "Exactly, wisdom and bravery, and prestige outside the gate?" Aiqing thinks what they did is true? ”

Duan Fei said: "Your Majesty, the minister is well-founded, yesterday the minister received the latest news, saying that the Tashan Left Guard has commanded the envoy to send the envoy to congratulate the queen mother on her birthday with Wannian mountain ginseng and other tributes, and by the way, he asked the emperor for credit. ”

Zhengde was about to nod, when Wang Qiong, the secretary of the ministry, suddenly came out and said: "What Lord Duan said is reasonable, but if you want to make a reward, you must first confirm that the information is correct, and Su Hei and others have indeed made great contributions in it, and they must also discuss the terms of the award, reward them for meritorious deeds, be impartial, and do not overdo it, so as not to be arrogant and arrogant, and it will be difficult to control in the future." ”

Wang Qiong said this well, but first doubted the authenticity of Jinyiwei's information, and then kicked Duan Fei away, discussing various terms It is the business of civil officials, you Jinyiwei stay aside.

Duan Fei was not happy when he heard this, and he immediately asked, "Who does Lord Wang want to ask to verify the information of our Jinyi Guard?" East Factory or Military Department? Even if the emperor goes to Nu'er Gandusi in person, will you believe it? ”

Duan Fei's sneering tone made Zhengde feel very relieved, you must know that Dongchang's hand did not reach out to the outside of the pass, and the military department ...... Do you have to rely on the guards who can only farm to confirm the news? I'm afraid that Wang Qiong won't be able to say it herself, right? In the battle of 100,000 troops outside Yingzhou City, Zhengde defeated the little prince of Tatar, which was such a happy thing, and the result was that the military department was stunned to make it into a story of "16 Mongolian troops killed and 52 Ming troops killed", and it is not surprising that Zhengde was completely disappointed with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

"Presumptuous!" Wang Qiong was also excited, and he bowed to Zhengde: "Your Majesty, Duan Fei is unscrupulous in the Jinluan Palace, and he dares to say such a thing, please punish the emperor!" ”

Zhengde snorted and said, "Which sentence did Duan Fei say wrong?" Why can't I hear it? Since Lord Wang is worried that Jinyi Wei will fool me with false information, it is better to do this, Lord Wang, you will personally go to the Nuer Gandu Division to verify, it is best to meet with the commander of Fuyu Weidu, Bu Rigude, to confirm whether he has been to Duoyan Mountain, whether he has seen what he thinks, whether he has chased and killed them for thousands of miles, and then ask Su Hei to ask him if he really contributed and whether the reward he asked for was too much...... Lord Wang is not young, this trip to Liaodong is too difficult, it is better for me to reopen the west factory and the inner factory, Lord Wang resigned from the Ministry of Shangshu, and served as the supervisor of the second factory, so that he can thoroughly monitor the east factory and Jinyiwei, I don't know what Lord Wang wants? ”

Wang Qiong's heart is like being hammered, Zhengde's words are too heavy, showing that Zhengde is extremely impatient, you must know that Duan Fei is the person he assigned, Duan Fei does what he does as if he did it himself, Wang Qiong and others have repeatedly obstructed, which has made Zhengde unbearable.

Reopen the inner factory and let Wang Qiong take office, this is already a heart-wrenching word, the first and only factory supervisor eunuch Liu Jin died because of rebellion, the word inner factory has become a forbidden word in the Ming Dynasty, although Wang Qiong is a little more selfish, looking down on people who have not read books, but he is also a generation of famous ministers, and Yu Qian, Zhang Juzheng and called the three ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how can he afford the emperor's words? He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, and the gold bricks were soon stained with blood.

Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing and others came out to persuade, and Zhengde still said angrily: "The envoy of Suheita is almost here, but you are still doubting this and that. ”

Yang Yiqing glanced at Duan Fei and sighed: "Your Majesty, please relax, this matter can be made after discussing with Lord Duan, Lord Wang is dedicated to the country, worried that Lord Duan will be deceived by the people below, you must know that after Jinyiwei passed through the hands of Qian Ning, there are already good and bad things below, and there are many things that happen to reward and take credit, Lord Wang has a good reputation, Lord Duan should not be surprised, and the emperor should not blame Lord Wang." ”

Zhengde felt a little more comfortable and said, "Still listen to the teacher's words, Duan Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang's words are very reasonable, Weichen also feels that the Jinyi Wei organization is bloated, the tail is not big, and it is about to be vigorously rectified, Lord Yang and I coincide, today since Lord Yang mentioned it, I ask the emperor for his life by the way, Weichen intends to cut off two-thirds of the surplus manpower of Jinyiwei within half a year, go to the turnips, and then absorb some capable supplements, and eventually there will be about half of the current number, the matter is big, and please ask the emperor for permission." ”

PS: I've been scolded recently.,It's a good thing.,It means that someone really looked into it.,I ignored the little vest directly.,Now answer the question of the blue flying fish and the melon and the fruit.,This book and the vertical and horizontal only signed a million.,Even if the contract is renewed, it's up to about 1.5 million.,Can I not be in a hurry now? Besides, there is no manuscript now, and many things can't be changed when they are passed on, even if it is Jin Yongda, his book has been changed for decades, and it is a fact that it has been a bit chaotic recently, because I have saved the details of the two days before Duan Fei left Beijing, and it will take at least several chapters to write, including Duan Fei's arrangement to catch the remnants of the Demon Sect, discuss with Zhengde to send two Qin Missions, meet with various factions, and negotiate with Guan Xiaohan...... It's all been saved by me, I thought everyone could read it in the narrative of the aftermath, I didn't expect to be scolded, the assassination of Da Ming Qincha is not a new thing, and Duan Fei is just a secret envoy, not even a holy decree, Bu Rigude killed them and pretended to have never seen a few people can be cheeky and continue to make a profit while paying tribute and then attacking the border, attacking the border does not require any capital, really, the Ming frontier is the warehouse of outsiders, they want to come, and then there is the problem of martial arts, this is a personal interest, it is said that the Chinese people have three major dreams, Qing officials, Martial arts and Mingjun, look at our novels and TV series, these three things are never lacking, I think there is something wrong with all three poisons in this book...... It's just that I didn't write it well...... I'll keep up the good work in the future, hehe......
