In the court, Zhu Si spoke highly of Zang Feng.

Even the fact that Zang Feng's subordinates in Xuanda were falsely reported for their military exploits in the post of Governor of Xuanda was only "found to be unrelated", which is equivalent to saying that Zang Feng can now be reinstated, but because the right attendant of the Criminal Department has been replaced by Hu Zan who was transferred from Nanjing, and now that Hu Zan is about to arrive in the capital, Hu Zan can't be beaten back, right?

Zang Feng doesn't have to do the position of the right attendant of the Criminal Department for the time being, and there is no suitable official vacancy for him in the imperial court, so Zhu Si will say that he has another appointment.

After the end of the court meeting.

Not surprisingly, many people are eager to know Yang Tinghe's opinion on this matter.

Originally, the Criminal Department had issued an official document and cooperated with Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate Zang Feng's false report of war exploits, which was equivalent to saying that Zang Feng would be beaten from the prison side, but now the emperor has adopted an attitude of covering up and conniving at Zang Feng, and he will not even pursue such a thing as falsely reporting his war exploits.

Everyone will think that Yang Tinghe will not give up.

However, now only Lin Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is qualified to talk to Yang Tinghe directly, he caught up with Yang Tinghe in a few steps, half a step behind, and asked in a low voice.

「…… Didn't Your Majesty already mention it at the court meeting?"

Yang Tinghe looked very impatient in the face of Lin Jun's question.

As if to say, Zang Feng's matter has come to an end for the time being, and I don't want to mention this person again.

Lin Jun hurriedly said: "Now there is a major mistake in the defense of the Northwest, it all lies in the fact that the female cadres can get by, but those who do not do things can be rewarded by His Majesty, but those who do things have to bear the consequences, just because he is the predecessor and His Majesty's person, can he not be blamed in the past?"

Yang Tinghe looked sideways at Lin Jun.

In any case, he didn't expect that Lin Jun would be so excited about this matter.

When Yang Tinghe reactivated Lin Jun as the secretary of the Criminal Department, he only thought that this person would become his right and left hand, but he didn't expect that Lin Jun would be so radical after returning to the court, and he simply became the vanguard of his Yang Tinghe faction, and he had a short temper.

If you want to target Zang Feng, I have no opinion.

But what do you mean by "there are women who can get by"?

Are you referring to Sang scolding Huai, and scolding me Yang as well? Just because I don't want to dig deeper, you're talking like that?

Jiang Mian, who was standing on Yang Ting and the other side, saw that Lin Jun was too excited, and hurriedly reminded: "Didn't Your Majesty say that you want to investigate the affairs of the Northwest, and you have to wait for the Northwest Jingsu to follow? Now we can't send people to the northwest, and the war is still going on, how can we find out?"

In Jiang Mian's opinion, this Lin Jun is a bit crazy.

Yang Tinghe recalled him back to the court as the secretary of the criminal department, and he repaid the favor, and he had to rush to get ahead of everything, and now it is clear that the war in the northwest is still in a state of anxiety, and you are in a hurry to check the soldiers of the frontier defenders who have falsely reported their war exploits? Please, can you wait until the war is over to check? Aren't you afraid of causing a mutiny in the army?

Now that the affairs of the Northwest are chaotic enough, there are still people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, we can understand the sense of justice in your heart, but we must also distinguish the time and occasion.

Yang Tinghe raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Mian's further words, then turned to Lin Jun and said, "If the Criminal Department goes to investigate, can it be found out in the shortest time under such circumstances?"

"Huh!?"

Jiang Mian's throat seemed to be choked by something.

Feelings Yang Tinghe really want to check?

Now we have to wait for Lin Jun to make a statement.

If you think that the Criminal Department can thoroughly investigate the situation in Baiyangkou under the frequent wars in the northwest, and all affairs can be listed, and convict Zang Feng and others in this way, then you can say it, maybe let you investigate.

Lin Jun also lost his temper: "Why not? Send someone to the northwest!"

"Who?"

Jiang Mian asked for Yang Tinghe.

Lin Jun said: "Hu Boheng is about to arrive in Beijing, let him turn around and go to Xuanfu to find out the situation together."

Hearing this, Yang Tinghe almost rolled his eyes.

Zang Feng is the right attendant of the Criminal Department and the governor of Xuanda, and now that Zang Feng has been withdrawn, the relationship between Xuanfu, Datong, Yatou Pass, and Reverse Horse Pass is messy enough, you actually want to send another right attendant of the Criminal Department to investigate the case? Isn't this a mess on top of a mess?

We can understand that you have a strong sense of justice, but please don't make trouble for us?

"Let's do this first, stabilizing the situation of the war is more important than anything else."

Yang Tinghe finally said, "Before this, no one should mention whether the border generals have falsely reported their war exploits, and it is more important to stabilize the morale of the army than anything else."

Even Yang Tinghe knows that now the northwest can't stand the toss, and if it continues, he is afraid that there will be a greater crisis in Xuanda.

Xuanda and the capital are only separated by a few passes such as Bauhinia Pass and Juyong Pass, if Xuanda has something to do, the next step will be martial law in the capital, and then the war may spread to the Beijing Division.

……

……

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Si sat at the desk and looked at the letter sent back by Zhu Hao from Nanjing.

After Zhu Hao arrived in Nanjing, he wrote a letter to Zhu Si as soon as possible, but it was in the name of Luo An, so even if the letter fell into the hands of others, he could not detect the clues, because it used the "code text" discussed by Zhu Hao and Zhu Si, and some words needed to be compared with the code book in order to find out the real meaning.

For Zhu Si, it was fun and safe to do so, so that he could communicate with Zhu Hao with confidence.

「…… Your Majesty, it's all been translated, take a look." Zhang Zuo was responsible for checking the codebook, translating the letter, and presenting it to Zhu Si.

Zhu Si took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's still Zhu Hao's foresight, who is thousands of miles away, but knows what is happening in the capital now."

Zhang Zuo was very curious, when he was compiling the content before, he was pondering, Zhu Hao didn't seem to say anything, so His Majesty thought Zhu Hao was strategizing?

Zhu Sidao: "You see, the most important thing that Zhu Hao mentioned is to protect Zang Feng, because I have a gentle attitude today, even the surname Yang has not questioned or objected, so that Zang Feng can avoid falling into a crisis, and when he is used in the future, he will definitely be grateful to Dade, which is equivalent to receiving a general for me."

Zhang Zuo cried and laughed.

Everyone has been dismissed, but what about the generals?

Even if Zang Feng is now legally innocent and can continue to be a Beijing official at the level of a waiter, but where should he be placed? Dare to guarantee that after he returns to the court, he will not be completely cut off by Yang Tinghe?

Besides, the matter of the Northwest falsely reporting and concealing war exploits has not yet been settled, and the civilian faction will certainly continue to be entangled.

Zhang Zuo said, "Your Majesty, do you think you want to transfer Mr. Zhu back as soon as possible?"

"There's no hurry."

Zhu Sidao: "Zhu Hao said that he was going to help me stabilize the situation in Nanjing, and I gave him an imperial decree so that he could act cheaply."

"Huh?"

Zhang Zuo was shocked.

Zhang Zuo didn't know anything about this.

It stands to reason that if the emperor wants to issue an imperial decree, it must be drafted by the Hanlin Academy, and then after the cabinet and civil officials deliberate, it can only be implemented after confirming that there is no problem.

But now the emperor has skipped the civil official system and directly issued a secret edict to Zhu Hao......

From a legal point of view, this secret edict is legal but unreasonable, if the place of execution of the secret edict is in the capital, Yang Tingfei must not break the leg of the executor......

But if this edict is placed in Nanjing......

Nanjing was originally a place far away from the Emperor of Shangao, and the emperor's will overrode the local government system, which may really be able to achieve miraculous results.

Zhang Zuo asked, "Then Your Majesty, you let Mr. Zhu ......?"

Zhu Si smiled and said, "I asked Zhu Hao to meet Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei who was guarding in Nanjing, I just wanted to ask him who he would listen to if the government decree was issued and my attitude was inconsistent with the surname Yang."

"This ......"

Zhang Zuo wanted to say, do you still need to ask?

In front of the emperor's envoys, Xu Pengju will definitely say that he listens to the emperor, or he says that he listens to the imperial court...... Wait a minute......

Zhang Zuo immediately realized.

If this secret edict is placed in the hands of ordinary people, the effect will inevitably be the same, but if it is in the hands of Zhu Hao......

With Zhang Zuo's understanding of Zhu Hao, both

However, Zhu Hao instigated the emperor to issue such a secret edict, and he personally brought it to Jiangnan, which may not have the effect that ordinary people can imagine.

Perhaps there will be an uproar in Nanjing.

"And Zhu Hao said, although the Bohai Shipyard has not yet built a big ship, but the ordinary ships are enough for the pirates of the southern level, and even weapons and other things have begun to be cast, and they are transported to the south in large quantities through the Nanjing Household Department, and the only thing that is lacking now is soldiers and horses." Zhu Sidao.

Zhang Zuo was stunned.

There are ships, weapons, and food and grass, but there are no soldiers?

Isn't that the same as nothing?

Zhang Zuo asked tentatively, "So Your Majesty asked Mr. Zhu to go to the south to solve the problem of soldiers?"

"Recruitment." Zhu Sidao.

Only then did Zhang Zuo know that Zhu Hao was not simply going out of Beijing to avoid suspicion, what Yang Tinghe's suspicion was really that important to Zhu Hao? Zhu Hao: This is going to the south to turn the sky!

If Zhu Hao had the power to recruit troops, wouldn't Zhu Hao visit with such a troop of soldiers? Does this still follow the rules of the Ming court?

Being known by civil officials, the consequences should not be taken lightly.

Zhu Sidao: "I know what you're worried about, if you let Zhu Hao do it himself, it will definitely not work, you need the Nanjing garrison to do it, or ...... Zhu Hao will weigh the situation and make the recruitment of soldiers both secret and reasonable. After the formation of soldiers and horses, this army is responsible for maintaining the stability of the sea frontier, and this army belongs directly to me and does not obey anyone's orders...... It's up to him to decide. Let Zhu Hao go, I can rest assured."

Zhang Zuoxin said, rest assured, Zhu Hao alone can withstand an army.

gave him the imperial decree and let him go to a place far away from the Tiangao Emperor, it was really sky-high and let the birds fly, I was afraid that Zhu Hao's heart would not be able to pull it.

"I'm going to write him a reply so he can get things done sooner...... Go, get the codebook." Zhu Si motioned to Zhang Zuo to help him get something, "What I'm worried about now is not the southeast coastal defense, but Xuanda, in fact, Zhu Hao is not in the capital, I can't rest assured."

Zhang Zuo felt a little like crying.

I also said earlier that I didn't need to rush people back, so I turned my head......

It turns out that Your Majesty, you will also be in a hurry?

Xuanda is connected to the capital, if something really happens to the capital, Zhu Hao is in the south of the Yangtze River...... Do you want to open another court?
