"Your Highness, something is wrong!" In the East Palace, a guard rushed to Gu Ningbei in panic early in the morning.

provoked Gu Ning's sorrow and displeasure: "What's the matter, what kind of system is it to be so flustered!" ”

The guards hurriedly knelt down: "Tell Your Highness, something has happened to the military department, and Lord Shangshu has been impeached." ”

"What?" Gu Ning was shocked when he heard this: "When will it happen?" ”

"Just last night, my subordinates passed by and saw that the Shangshu Mansion had been sealed, saying that Lord Shangshu had embezzled and taken bribes, and I didn't know who reported it in front of His Majesty last night." The guard said.

Gu Ningbei was simply annoyed, and when it was time for the upper dynasty, he wanted to see who dared to touch him.

Thinking of this, Gu Ningbei immediately hurried to the Jinluan Palace.

At that time, the hundred officials had already arrived, and Gu Ningbei wanted to whisper to Emperor Liang Qin, but he really couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

Since it is necessary to find out who did it, it is better to do it in person.

"Father, son-in-law has a play." Emperor Liang Qin had just allowed the performance, and Gu Ningbei couldn't wait to step forward.

A few days ago, he had been punished for copying scriptures in the library pavilion, and he had only returned home yesterday exhausted, and he had heard about such things early in the morning, and his heart was very unhappy.

However, Emperor Liang Qin was the same, and he was so reckless when he saw that the prince had just been punished, he was simply annoyed.

But in front of the civil and military officials, Emperor Liang Qin was always not good at fighting against his son as soon as he came up, so he still held back his anger and said calmly: "The prince has a book to play." ”

But Gu Ningbei obviously didn't understand this kind of truth, and when he saw him come up, he directly said about the book of the military department.

"Erchen saw that the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War was seized this morning, I don't know why?" Gu Ningbei asked.

This incident happened suddenly, and Emperor Liang Qin did not issue a public edict, but he said it from Gu Ningbei's mouth, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty discussed it for a while.

Seeing that the crown prince, as the prince, disregarded the order of the court so much, the fire in Emperor Liang Qin's chest suddenly burned even more vigorously.

"Did the crown prince also pass through the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War? I haven't told the world yet, so how could the prince know about it? Emperor Liang Qin asked, and Gu Ningbei realized that what he said was too hasty.

Emperor Liang Qin's words were at least suspected that the prince had planted his own eyeliner everywhere, and at worst, it was directly the crime of forming a party for personal gain.

Gu Ning was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and hesitated for a long time before saying that he accidentally heard the people on the street mention it this morning.

Emperor Liang Qin didn't pursue it after hearing this, but only answered questions to the hundred officials: "I originally wanted to tell you later, since the prince was anxious to open his mouth first, I will give Zhong Aiqing an answer." ”

"Last night, someone sent a secret letter to my dormitory, which was full of ironclad evidence of corruption and bribery in the military department.

Emperor Liang Qin was ostensibly asking the civil and military officials what they had done about him, but who dared to raise objections at this time? They all leaned over and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Seeing this, Gu Ningbei, who was already indignant, suddenly became even more annoyed, and was about to say something but was rejected by Emperor Liang Qin.

"The crown prince is the prince, I hope you can spend more time on the study of governing the country, instead of these gossips that have nothing to do with you."

When he said this, Emperor Liang Qin deliberately emphasized that the matter of the military department Shangshu had nothing to do with Gu Ningbei, and he instantly felt the warning in his words, so he quickly reined in.

But the Ministry of War is Gu Ningbei's henchmen, Shangshu is the highest commander of the Ministry of War, and most of the people below who are willing to return to the East Palace follow Shangshu.

Now that the military department has been disposed of, it is undoubtedly that Gu Ningbei's right-hand man has been broken, and there is one less important minister in the court who can speak for him.

Gu Ningbei was annoyed by this matter, but someone from the household department on the side stepped forward: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the position of the secretary of the military department is vacant, and the operation of the six departments may be blocked, and it is imperative to pick out a new person as soon as possible to replace him." ”

Hearing this, Gu Ningbei didn't have time to think carefully before he spoke: "Erchen seconded the proposal." ”

The prince has always been at odds with the household department, and the Manchu Dynasty has a little knowledge of the civil and military affairs, but this time he attached to the household department's discussion, which is really surprising.

"What is the prince's opinion?" Emperor Liang Qin asked casually, is this the matter of the election of the new secretary of the military department handed over to Gu Ningbei for advice?

Others may not have reacted yet, but what Gu Ningbei was waiting for was this sentence.

Seeing Emperor Liang Qin asking, Gu Ningbei immediately spoke: "Father, the son thinks that the squire of the military department may be directly promoted." ”

After speaking, before Emperor Liang Qin made a decision, someone came out to refute it.

"No!" It was Gu Ningbei who hated Gu Ningbei so much that he gritted his teeth these times.

"Why did Chen Langzhong say this?" Gu Ning asked Chen Weizhi with full of anger.

Only then did Chen Weizhi speak: "The military squire has not yet completed his political achievements, and he has only been in office for more than one time, so he was directly promoted to Shangshu, which is unreasonable." ”

"But the affairs of the military department are complicated, who can take on this great task except the squire?" The prince was disdainful, he didn't believe that Chen Weizhi could still give birth to such a person out of thin air.

However, he underestimated Chen Weizhi, only to see that Chen Weizhi did not pay attention to what he heard, but looked directly at Emperor Liang Qin.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the secretary of the military department is the head of the military department, and the operation of the six departments is related to the national fortune, so it should not be decided so hastily." Chen Weizhi's direct sentence refuted all the opinions of all the people.

Only then did Emperor Liang Qin speak to him: "Then what does Chen Aiqing think should be, is it difficult to let the affairs of the military department drag on?" ”

Chen Weizhi shook his head: "No, the minister thinks that he should find someone to act as an agent for the affairs of the military department first, and as for the choice of the new Shangshu, he can make a decision after careful selection." ”

To put it bluntly, don't you still have to find someone to come up?

Seeing this, Gu Ningbei hurriedly saw the stitches: "Your Majesty, so the minister still thinks that it should be represented by the squire of the military department." ”

Chen Weizhi didn't think so: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the head of the six ministries should be familiar with the affairs of the six ministries and be experienced and know how to turn danger into safety." ”

These words were obviously to tell everyone that the squire of the military department was not a good choice.

Emperor Liang Qin asked Chen Wei's candidate for the favorite, and he immediately set his eyes on Xu Chenhao.

"Your Majesty, I think that Lord Xu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, may be able to take on this position." Chen Weizhi has a good mind.

Hearing this, even Xu Chenhao himself was unexpected, and he was shocked.

Gu Ningbei couldn't wait to retort: "Xu Shangshu is a person from the Criminal Department, how can he be in charge of the affairs of the Military Department?" ”

In fact, Gu Ningbei opposed not only the different departments, but the person behind the criminal department who was incompatible with him.

Chen Weizhi was not impatient, and still said slowly: "Lord Xu has been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, and his political achievements are outstanding, everyone can see it, and the military punishment is not separated, not to mention that according to the minister's knowledge, Lord Xu served in the Ministry of War in his early years to the position of Zhongshu, but he is a more suitable candidate than the squire of the Ministry of War." ”

Seeing that what Chen Weizhi said was quite reasonable, the civil and military officials nodded in approval for a while.

Emperor Liang Qin remembered that the person promoted by Chen Weizhi was not from his own household, but Gu Ningbei may have ulterior motives, and it is clear who is really for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji.

After thinking for a moment, Emperor Liang Qin immediately nodded: "According to what Chen Aiqing said, Xu Aiqing of the Criminal Department will temporarily take the position of the squire of the Military Department, and the successor will be decided after the discussion is made." ”

Gu Ning was annoyed when he heard this, and wanted to refute but was interrupted by Emperor Liang Qin's sentence of "retreat from the dynasty".

Now that he himself has lost a general, not to mention, he originally wanted to cultivate new minions, but was put in by Gu Huanli's people.

In this way, it is difficult to guarantee that those people under the military department will not defect under Xu Chenhao's control, and Gu Ningbei was confused for a while.

Gu Ningbei was a person who had not been found out in the early dynasty to bring down the secretary of the military department, but some people knew it.

Although Yuanshan County is thousands of miles away from Shengjing City, the affairs of the imperial court have always been the talk of the people everywhere after tea and dinner.

No, as soon as Lu Xuan went out, he saw a few people discussing-

"Have you heard? The squire of the military department has fallen, and all the property has been seized and confiscated to the treasury, which is called a miserable one. An aunt in a morning tea shop talked about it.

The uncle on the side hurriedly retorted: "What's miserable, it's not that he is greedy, if you want me to say, it's retribution." ”

Speaking of the military department, some people remembered his wife Luo Yujiao, who was repaired by him a few days ago, and now they are glad for her - "Fortunately, the Luo family girl is back, otherwise he would have to be implicated." ”

After stopping and listening for a while, Lu Xuan couldn't help but step forward: "What did you just say is the book of the Ministry of War?" ”

Lu Xuan was dressed in civilian clothes, and no one recognized her identity as a county magistrate, all of whom regarded her as someone who could gossip and gossip.

The eldest aunt nodded immediately, and Lu Xuan asked again: "How can such a big official as the secretary of the Ministry of War say that he will fall?" ”

"Retribution." Someone replied casually.

was immediately refuted by others: "Don't talk nonsense, I heard that someone quietly sent a secret letter to the emperor's bedroom, which is full of evidence of his corruption and bribery in recent years, and I don't know which hero it is." ”

Speaking of which, Lu Xuan fell into deep thought, a few days ago, Gu Huanli seemed to be investigating the bribery of Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

"Isn't it him?" Lu Xuan muttered to himself, and then got up and went to the post station to find the person concerned.

At that time, Qin Wei was reporting something to Gu Huanli, and when Lu Xuan arrived at the door, he heard some by chance.

"Your Royal Highness, the secretary of the Ministry of War has been removed, and now it is Xu Shangshu of the Criminal Department who acts as the agent of the Ministry of War." Qin Wei told all the information he had heard.

Gu Huanli immediately raised his lips and smiled: "Oh? The king didn't expect such an unexpected gain, and the prince's face was probably not good-looking. ”

Qin Wei nodded: "It is said that the prince has always strongly recommended the squire of the military department, and it was Lord Chen of the household department who pushed Xu Shangshu out." ”

"Chen Weizhi?" Gu Huanli was surprised, this person has always looked down on himself, but he has repeatedly helped him these times, which is very surprising.

"Interesting, it seems that this king owes him another favor." Gu Huanli smiled secretly.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Lu Xuan was already standing outside at some point, and he immediately sat upright: "Why don't you come in?" ”
