Qin Tai handed the confession to Feng Bao, and after Feng Bao read it, he directly announced that everyone was arrested. In order to prevent them from committing suicide or escaping, all of them were tied into rice dumplings, and strips of cloth were stuffed into their mouths and imprisoned separately. That commander gave special treatment, and was escorted in by Feng Bao for a long time and beaten. After seeing that the commander was a little more honest, he asked who wrote the factory and when he wrote it. The commander was frightened by Feng Bao, so he had to say it in 1510, and the only request was to ask Feng Bao to let his family go. This commander is also a meritorious descendant, Feng Bao didn't want to set up too many enemies at this time, so he agreed. Feng Bao was a person with status, and he believed in Feng Bao's assurance. The commanders named a large number of people, all of whom were involved in the project. It's just that Meng Chong is very smart, not only did he not come forward in person, but he also left almost no clues. Although it can't be directly targeted at Meng Chong, it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to eradicate so many of Meng Chong's cronies. Feng Bao not only didn't have to worry about his head this time, but also indirectly eliminated a large number of hidden enemies, which was definitely a good gain. As for the crime of mobilizing people from Dongchang to deal with Jinyiwei without authorization, because of the confession of the commander, it became that after Feng Bao accidentally learned of this conspiracy, he had no time to ask for instructions and had to do it directly. Li Guifei is good, Zhang Juzheng will definitely do his best to help him speak, and Meng Chong is also worried that Feng Bao will target him regardless of it, so naturally he will not dare to fan the flames. Gao Gong implicated Tan Lun because of this matter, and he didn't dare to make a fuss in it. In particular, Gao Gong knows the importance of the prince to the country, and he will not help the other party to speak.

When the confessions of the commander and others were copied several times, they were sent to the imperial study to Emperor Longqing, Li Guifei, Zhang Juzheng, Tan Lun, Meng Chong, Gao Gong and others. Concubine Li Guifei smashed a precious vase on the spot, and called the prince to cry and go to Queen Chen. Zhang Juzheng didn't say anything after reading it, but just began to write his resignation. After Meng Chong saw it, he kept walking around his residence. After Gao Gong saw it, the whole person fell straight to the ground, and after waking up, he scolded these things and thieves. Tan Lun jumped up directly after seeing it, and scolded the sky for nearly an hour regardless of the image. After hesitating for a moment, Tan Lun also picked up the pen and wrote the resignation. At this time, Concubine Li Guifei also pulled her two sons to kneel in front of Queen Chen, demanding that the titles of the prince, the prince and the concubine be abolished, and that the three of them be allowed to leave. Frightened, Empress Chen, who had always been timid, hurriedly sent someone to invite Emperor Longqing to Kunning Palace.

Emperor Longqing didn't have time to appease Concubine Li's mother and son, and the eunuch, the chief manager of the Qianqing Palace, ran over to tell Emperor Longqing a big event. No, it should be said that there are several major incidents. First of all, the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng, knelt on the ground to resign, and then the cabinet walked, and the military department attendant Tan Lun Tan also resigned, followed by the first assistant of the cabinet, Gao Gonggao, the guilty petition and the sick letter, followed by the collective petition of other cabinet members, and then the six ministries and Jiuqing Yushitai jointly demanded that the crime of Jinyiwei's false accusation be seriously dealt with. Everyone was very angry about Jinyiwei's casual framing of officials, chamberlains, royal relatives, royal family, and princes. Some people even took the opportunity to ask Emperor Longqing to revoke Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Of course, Emperor Longqing will not agree, without Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Emperor Longqing will become a blind and deaf, toothless tiger, who will be afraid of the emperor? However, the crowd outside was excited, and there was a great possibility that officials would collectively strike the DPRK and make trouble.

Originally, once this kind of thing happened, there would first be a cabinet member who would come forward and talk to everyone, and then the cabinet would gather with the emperor and the celebrant to discuss the solution. Now that the first assistant of the cabinet is sick, the second assistant of the cabinet Zhang Juzheng is resigning, and the other cabinet members are collectively asking for guilt, who will persuade everyone? The celebrant Meng Chong hid, Feng Bao did not come back outside, and the imperial horse supervisor did not dare to transfer troops at will. Originally, Jinyiwei and Dongchang could have been used to suppress the officials who made trouble, but now Jinyiwei is controlled by Dongchang, and in order to suppress Jinyiwei, the people from Dongchang dare not come. The soldiers guarding the palace also began to move, because they wanted to return Li Guifei and the crown prince to a clean slate, and they did not believe that Li Guifei and the crown prince would really target Emperor Longqing. If this matter was framed by Jinyiwei, they demanded that Emperor Longqing avenge Concubine Li and the crown prince. Li Guifei, who could have given advice to Emperor Longqing, is now kneeling on the ground with her two children and crying like a tearful person. Emperor Longqing really didn't know what to do. Emperor Longqing finally understood what Qin Tai was in when he carried the spirit of the first emperor and the portrait to the palace, and what his father, Emperor Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi, was feeling. Helplessness, powerlessness, helplessness, no one really helps, distress, sadness, disappointment, etc.

At this time, Feng Bao came, and he returned to the palace in disguise from a side gate of the palace. Not only did he come back, but Feng Bao brought a way for Emperor Longqing to deal with trouble. This method was told to Feng Bao by Qin Tai after learning about the development of the matter. Feng Bao rushed back as soon as he learned about it and told Emperor Longqing and Concubine Li. Emperor Longqing urged Feng Bao to tell him the way immediately.

Feng Bao's method, no, it should be said that Qin Tai's method is actually very simple. First, Emperor Longqing personally issued an edict to prove it for Li Guifei, the crown prince, Zhang Juzheng and others. Not only are they not at fault, they are wronged. Soon after, Emperor Longqing will compensate them, and he will definitely return their innocence. Second, order the Cabinet to immediately fulfill the responsibility of its Cabinet and persuade officials not to do anything drastic. If you don't handle it well, you really have to blame their cabinet. Third, a joint investigation team will be set up on this matter, and the cabinet and the celebrant will jointly investigate. The cabinet and the celebrant recommended the list of the heads of the investigation team, which was directly responsible to Emperor Longqing himself. No matter what the result is, it will be announced to the world without concealment. Emperor Longqing will give the most reasonable treatment and will definitely not favor anyone. Before the matter is clarified, it is strictly forbidden for everyone to make trouble or spread rumors at will, otherwise it will be treated as an accomplice.

The cabinet began to work immediately, and they were familiar with this kind of thing, and soon they persuaded everyone away, half persuasively and half intimidating. For the first time, Emperor Longqing felt that he really couldn't do without the cabinet, and the cabinet really had a set of dealing with officials. They not only have prestige but also means, persuasion that should be persuaded, scare those who do not listen, and arrest those who are really disobedient. Cabinet ministers are either teachers, teachers, or elders or seniors of these officials, and cabinet members beat and scold the officials in the capacity of division commanders, and the officials dare not fight back and dare not agree.

Soon after, the sick Gao Gong was also carried to the palace, and a small meeting was held in the cabinet chamber. On the left is a cabinet member headed by Gao Gong, a total of four people, the youngest of whom is Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant of the cabinet. Sitting opposite are the five celebrant eunuchs, the celebrant is the eunuch Meng Chong, and the next is the eunuch of the four major ceremonial eunuchs, Feng Bao sits next to Meng Chong, proving that he is the first eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch. There are three people sitting in the middle, that is, Emperor Longqing, Concubine Li Guifei and the crown prince. These twelve people were the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, and almost all major military affairs were decided by them.

The meeting had only one purpose, which was to form an investigative team to deal with the case as soon as possible. It's just that this case is not only too wide-ranging, but also difficult to choose the person in charge. The cabinet means that Gao Gong is implicated in it with Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, so it is not easy to come forward to investigate. Li Chunfang has too many things in his hands, and he can only serve as a nominal person in charge. It is not easy to choose among the celebrants, Feng Bao is not worried about Meng Chong, Meng Chong is worried that Feng Bao will take the opportunity to target him, and other people are not willing to interfere. In the end, after pushing back and forth, it was decided that Emperor Longqing would personally serve as the main person in charge, Li Guifei and the crown prince would be Xiangzan, and Meng Chong, Feng Bao, Li Chunfang and others would participate. But who is actually responsible, and who will actually investigate the case?

At this time, the prince suddenly made a suggestion, didn't this case implicate Qin Tai? It's better to let Qin Tai, who is good at investigating and solving cases, be mainly responsible for the investigation. Besides, is Qin Tai now a case-solving official who specializes in investigating cases? It's his job. The prince's words were immediately supported by Concubine Li, and then Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun also supported it, and Feng Bao also nodded in agreement. Emperor Longqing originally wanted to oppose it, but when he saw the indebted Concubine Li and the crown prince, he agreed according to the wishes of their mother and son. Meng Chong wanted to object, but he was worried that Feng Bao and Zhang Ju were targeting him, and he was even more worried that he would really find himself in trouble by forcing Qin Tai to be in a hurry, so he chose not to speak. In this way, this big case fell on Qin Tai's shoulders and became the first case that Qin Tai officially took over after he came out again. In order to prevent anyone from making trouble or not cooperating, Concubine Li Guifei suggested that Emperor Longqing re-give the Golden Dragon Order to Qin Tai. With the Golden Dragon Order in hand, Qin Tai didn't have to worry about anyone not cooperating with him. Li Guifei's meaning is very clear, daring to frame her and her son for plotting to usurp the throne is the biggest enemy in her life, and she must arrest all these people. Meng Chong was secretly worried that he must not be found by Qin Tai and the others, otherwise ten Meng Chong would not be enough for Li Guifei to kill.

Qin Tai's closing of the case puzzled everyone, Qin Tai did not take advantage of the topic, let alone fall into the ground. Instead, he dealt with a few brocade guards lightly and did not target others. Afterwards, Zhang Juzheng secretly asked someone to send a letter to Qin Tai for the first time, expressing his approval of Qin Tai's conclusion. Now that everyone is excited, we really can't add fuel to the fire. As the deputy assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng must be stable in order to succeed smoothly. Although Qin Tai's matter gave Zhang Juzheng a chance, Zhang Juzheng couldn't be too much or too domineering. In order to be able to sit in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet in the future, in order to sit farther away, Zhang Juzheng also felt that it was better not to make too much trouble this time. Zhang Juzheng had already seen that Emperor Longqing was on the verge of collapse, and anything could happen if he forced it too hard. Now Zhang Juzheng needs a situation that can be controlled, not a volatile situation.
