At the same time, Scholar Gu, who was sitting in the study room of King Xin's Mansion, refolded the large stack of paper full of words in front of him, stuffed it back into the envelope, and then raised his head and nodded at Zheng Ying: "The old minister knows." The minister himself presided over the matter. ”

"The king of Ming Japan will ask Xie Xiangshang to recommend the lord," Zheng Ying said: "You are in charge of the subordinate hall, and it is reasonable for you to preside over it, and then the imperial doctor will personally lead the people to settle the accounts of the household department." ”

"Yes," replied Scholar Gu, "Doctor Yu Shi is upright and will never bend the law for personal gain. ”

"Director Gu was originally in charge of the degree of support, and it was originally cheapest to let him participate in the liquidation review," Zheng Ying sighed: "It's just that as a household official, he needs to avoid it." ”

"Don't worry," Scholar Gu immediately smiled: "The dog has already written a love letter at home, which direction is the easiest for us to start with, and where is the most likely place for He Wenmao to do something, he has already listed it all from memory, and tomorrow the old minister will hand over his love letter to the imperial doctor." ”

"That's the best." Zheng Ying put aside the two documents in his hand and raised his head to look at Scholar Gu: "There is another matter, my father is going to exile the families of the He family and the Zhao family to Shuozhou in the north to repair the city wall. ”

"The case has not yet been concluded, and the emperor is so anxious." Scholar Gu, who has always paid attention to procedural rules, frowned slightly, but did not object, this is really because He Wenmao's crime is unforgivable, and it doesn't make much sense to wait until the case is closed.

"This time, my father is really angry." Zheng Ying sighed softly: "The two sons of the Mu family were killed and injured, and these are all loyal ministers and good generals of the Great Zhou in the future. ”

"Alas!" Scholar Gu nodded, he was a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so he naturally understood the emperor, so he could also understand the emperor's anger at this time: "Indeed, the emperor's personality is calm and rigorous, and he is not a tyrannical person, this time it is really ......"

"Lord Gu," Zheng Ying asked again: "It is impossible for He Wenmao, the secretary of the household department, to turn over no matter what this time, and the officials of the household department who helped He Wenmao cover up the deficit have also been removed from office pending trial. ”

The household department has arrested a large number of officials, and filling the vacancies is a good opportunity for the various factions in the DPRK and China to expand their power, so the competition is bound to be fierce.

Gu Zhengze chose King Xin, and his political interests are naturally consistent with King Xin, and to a certain extent, they are also consistent with the current Xie. He is a mediocre and peaceful personality, and he is easily unwilling to offend people, Zheng Ying asked him such a question, of course, he was not easy to answer casually. He pondered for a moment before saying, "There are a few suitable candidates, but you still need to ask Xie Xiang's meaning." ”

"You discuss with Xie Xiang," Zheng Ying nodded: "Discuss a result as soon as possible, and the proposed registration form will come up, and Li Xiang must not be allowed to have the opportunity to interfere in the household department this time." ”

"The old minister understands." Scholar Gu first nodded, and then glanced at Zheng Ying again, his eyes were slightly hesitant, as if he had something to say.

Zheng Ying saw Scholar Gu's eyes, and immediately bowed slightly at him: "My lord seems to have something to say, you might as well speak up." ”

"Lord Wang," Scholar Gu heard Zheng Ying say this, so he simply asked the confusion in his heart straight away: "Zhao Zhiliang's previous confession was also involved in the case nine years ago, although Li Xiang was not directly involved, but at least he knew about it, according to what the old minister saw, on this ground, it is okay to let the imperial history participate in him." The prince is worried that if he doesn't bite to death this bite, it will attract a crazy counterattack from King Yi? ”

"King Yi's biggest guard of honor at the moment is Li Xiang," Zheng Ying nodded: "If you can't ensure that one blow is fatal, this king thinks that it is better not to take risks." ”

"Then ......" Scholar Gu continued to ask, "Why don't you attack the Wei family now?" Sun Shangshu had previously taken out the evidence of tax evasion from Uncle Wei's family, which was enough to make the queen's mother unable to turn over. For nearly 20 years, the Wei family has evaded millions of taxes. The old minister thought that he could first attack the Wei family, contain King Yi and Queen Wei, and then let the imperial history participate in Li Xiang, so that they could suffer from the enemy. ”

"The evidence of the Wei family may be of greater use." Zheng Ying replied: "But the adult's proposal is not impossible to consider, discuss it with Xie Xiang one day, and then make a decision." Originally, according to the idea of this king, after the trial of He Wenmao's case was concluded, he first cleared the remaining veins of Lin Xiang. After Lin Xiang said goodbye, the Lin family seemed to have no successor in the court, and gradually weakened, but Lin Xiang had been operating in the court for many years, and there were many protégés of the party, and the union should not be underestimated. If this faction votes for King Yi, it will also be a hidden danger for us. ”

"The prince is thoughtful." Scholar Gu nodded: "It is indeed a good way to clear the forest officials first." In the case of He Wenmao, the Lin family was originally involved. ”

"What Sun Shangshu brought out, have you ever seen the evidence that Lin Xiang illegally bought and sold land near Songcheng?" Zheng Ying suddenly asked.

"The old minister knows what the prince wants to ask." Scholar Gu curled his beard and smiled at Zheng Ying: "The third son of the minister was the county commander in Ningling County, which was under the jurisdiction of Song City, and he was a small county, how could Lin Xiang take him in his eyes." Therefore, when Lin Wuye first arrived in Songcheng, it was actually Yin, the son of the old minister, as a county commander, who listened to Shangfeng's orders to act, what should be done and what not to do, he was clear, and he never sought any benefits from the Lin family. ”

Zheng Ying also smiled with Scholar Gu. An old fox is an old fox. This sentence "has never benefited from the Lin family", of course Zheng Ying will not believe it, how did Gu Sanye transfer back to the capital from Ningling and become the head of the household department? This matter is understood, and everyone knows it. However, Gu Zhengze said this sentence with quite confidence, proving that their Gu family did not have any handle in the hands of the Lin family.

"In this way, the king will be relieved." Zheng Ying nodded: "The evidence is ironclad, and the Lin family can't make waves." ”

"It's best to leave this matter to Xie Xiang to investigate," Gu Zhengze added with a smile: "After all, the old minister's son is involved, so it is better to avoid suspicion earlier." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Zheng Ying replied with a smile: "This king will find something for Li Xiang to do in advance when he arrives." ”

"Besides, have you seen the list that Mr. Han handed over to you a few days ago?" A topic was agreed, and Zheng Ying took the initiative to bring up another topic: "Is there anyone you like?" ”

"Several of Han's nephews are very good, and their resumes are also beautiful." Gu Zhengze replied: "There are also a few good young talents gathered by the second princess. ”

"Just let Madame Zun bring the list to the eldest sister." Zheng Ying replied: "She will discuss with the second emperor sister and arrange for people to enter Beijing one after another." ”
