"Chuan Zuodu Governor Zhang Gui."

Apocalypse thus commanded.

"Yes!"

After a short time, Zhang Gui came to Xiyuan.

Tianqi also gave Liang Menghuan's recital directly to Zhang Gui: "You can see it yourself." ”

Zhang Gui also looked at it.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui's eyes widened, and he said in his heart: "This Liu Cheng is disobedient!" ”

"You don't have to be too afraid."

Apocalypse comforted Zhang Gui.

Zhang Gui was a little surprised.

I'm not afraid.

Isn't it just an impeachment of the official.

If it's really urgent, it's a big deal to rebel, pull up a team, find a piece of territory, maybe you can become bigger and stronger.

At this time, Tianqi said in a flat tone: "On the surface, they are impeaching you, but in fact, they are targeting me. A book of slurs has involved you, Wei Zhongxian, and Han Ge Lao, but I just didn't say it explicitly that what I have done recently is not in line with their intentions! ”

Tianqi seemed to be worried that Zhang Gui didn't understand, so he said a few more words.

Zhang Gui nodded: "What Your Majesty said is true." ”

Tianqi suddenly looked at Zhang Gui and asked, "You told me the truth, what happened to Liu Cheng being beaten?" ”

Zhang Gui replied: "He asked his ministers to beat, really!" The minister does not dare to bully the king! ”

Tianqi looked incredulous, and said: "Whether it is his own request or not, since Han Qi is involved, I can force Han Ge Lao to admit that it was his son Han Qi who instigated it, and he is the main culprit, you are just ignorant." ”

Speaking of this, Tianqi's expression became serious: "However, you have to tell me that the fat jackets for the border army are all yellow cotton wool, is it true?!" ”

Zhang Gui replied: "No! ”

Apocalypse asked again, "Really?" ”

Zhang Gui replied: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send a trusted minister to investigate, so that you can also return your innocence." ”

"It's better that you're telling the truth, or I'll not be able to excuse you when the time comes."

Apocalypse said.

Zhang Gui replied: "Your Majesty can rest assured." ”

Apocalypse nodded, and said, "I'll ask you again, is it true?" If so, you don't have to worry about saying it, what will I do to you, it's just that I will deal with this matter in another way, no longer send someone to investigate, and directly let Han Yi vote, saying that this Liang Menghuan is slandering, and he should be severely punished, and then let Wei Zhongxian criticize him and send him to prison. But if not, I'll send someone to investigate and clear your name. ”

"It's not."

"The minister dares to vouch for the head of Gonggong Wei!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Wei Zhongxian was stunned for a moment: "Why is it the head of our family?" Uncle Guo, I haven't seen you like this! ”

Apocalypse asked Wei Zhongxian on his behalf, "Why Wei Zhongxian's head?" ”

Zhang Gui replied: "Because when the time comes, His Majesty will be able to appease the officials more than killing the ministers." ”

"Also, the ministers hate him for betraying Wang An."

Tianqi nodded and said, "Then it's decided, if you lie, I will cut off his Wei Zhongxian's head!" ”

Wei Zhongxian felt the urge to cry.

Tianqi said to Wei Zhongxian at this time: "Don't feel wronged, Zhang Gui is right, if he lies about this matter, you can't escape, this business was originally introduced to him by you." ”

"Yes! The slave understands. ”

Wei Zhongxian replied.

"Manchu Chaozhong, even if he is impartial and upright, it should be my teacher Mr. Sun, who intends to let Sun Chengzong be the messenger of the Qin, and specialize in investigating the shoddy case of the border army's fat jacket."

After Tianqi commanded, he asked Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian: "Do you have any suitable candidates, and you can also recommend them." ”

"Huo Weihua! This man is the most upright. ”

Wei Zhongxian replied.

Tianqi glared at Wei Zhongxian: "Bullying the king, if he is upright, can he be driven by you?" ”

Wei Zhongxian found that Tianqi's heart was like a mirror, and he had to say: "The slave is speechless, but he is indeed an obedient person." ”

"Then you can't send him, he is your man, send him, and the hundred officials will not be convinced."

Tianqi said and said: "I thought of a person, Xu Guangqi, this person is a lonely minister, does not form a party, does not participate in the literary society, only knows how to study practical learning, like me, he should not favor anyone." ”

"Yes, the emperor is watching the fire."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends Yang Lian."

Zhang Gui suddenly proposed at this time.

"This ......"

Wei Zhongxian looked at Zhang Gui in surprise, and said in his heart: "I'm afraid this uncle is not stupid, right?" Who doesn't know that Yang Lian is the leader of the Yanguan, let him be the Qincha, follow the investigation of this matter, it is impossible not to clean your uncle's underwear, not to mention, there have been rumors for a long time, this guy is ready to attack our family! ”

After Wei Zhongxian thought so, he hurriedly said: "Emperor, the slave thinks that Yang Lian is not a person, this person is a bold and reckless person, I am afraid that the situation will be worse." ”

Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui and asked, "Do you really want to recommend him?" ”

"Yes, it is better to prove the innocence of the courtiers and convince the courtiers, after all, Yang Lian's prestige in Shilin is not inferior to Ye Fuqing."

Zhang Gui replied.

Tianqi nodded: "It seems that you are confident that you are not adulterated in the fat jacket made for the border army?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't!"

Zhang Gui replied.

"I'm ready!"

As he spoke, Tianqi looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Yang Lian, just these three people, let the cabinet draw up an order, and these three people will be sent to investigate the case of the border army's fat jacket fraud!" ”

"Yes!"

After Wei Zhongxian returned, he went to Han Yi's cabinet office.

It didn't take long for this holy decree to reach Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian.

The officials soon learned of this will.

"Sun Zhisheng, needless to say, has always been honest and loyal;"

"Xu Zixian, who is also a clear stream of Hanlin, is not a party or a friend, but it is okay;"

"Yang Dahong, the most famous person in my department, the first emperor entrusted Gu Gu to the minister;"

"Your Majesty has appointed these three people to investigate this case, but it is fair."

The officials were also convinced by the arrangement of the Apocalypse, and even Yao Zongwen said so to Liang Menghuan at this time.

Liang Menghuan also nodded: "It can be seen that Your Majesty really cares about the situation on the border, and really wants to find out about this matter, this Uncle Zhang Guo made a mistake in this, and it is indeed a big taboo!" ”

On this day, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian went to Juyong Pass first to investigate the shoddy situation of Zhang Gui's border army's fat jacket.

And because Zhang Gui is an impeached person, he also needs to bring the person who made this batch of cotton clothes for him.

Liang Menghuan is an impeacher, and he also needs to bring Yao Zongwen, who provided the news, with him.

When the group walked towards Juyongguan, Yao Zongwen first chatted with Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian: "This time, the matter involves the imperial family, and the three Qincha must be able to handle it for impartiality, so that we and other ministers will not be convicted of disobedience to the powerful." ”

"This is natural, our body is the master of the Son of Heaven, how dare I live up to the emperor's order, if the emperor really makes black-hearted cotton and sells it to the border army to make a profit, I will definitely ask Your Majesty to deal with it strictly!"

Sun Chengzong said.

Yang Lian also said: "That's right, my person is a minister who was left behind by the first emperor, how can he tolerate some imperial relatives to mess around!" ”

Xu Guangqi followed and said: "Naturally, I will not be partial to anyone and not afraid of anyone!" ”

In fact, the three of them also have some subjective belief that Zhang Gui, as the imperial prince, will be greedy for more profits and cut corners and shoddy when making cotton clothes for the border army, because in their opinion, most of these relatives of the Ming Dynasty are from poor backgrounds, and it is easy to covet some petty profits and do things that will disgrace the court.

And Yao Zongwen was even more relieved after hearing this, and said with a smile: "There are three loyal and upright ministers like Qincha, who rely on power and nobles, and they will not be able to get away with it." ”

Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian, and Xu Guangqi didn't say anything next, but entered Juyong Pass together.

As a result, as soon as they arrived at Juyong Pass, Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian, and Xu Guangqi saw that the fat jackets worn by the border officers and soldiers here were really thin and old.

Sun Chengzong also walked up to a soldier, opened the opening of the fat jacket he was wearing, and said angrily: "Sure enough, it's yellow cotton!" Or the worst yellow cotton! ”

Then Sun Chuanting pulled out the cotton wool and pinched it: "It's defeat!" This padded coat does not keep warm at all. ”

Yang Lian followed and asked the soldier: "Is it sent this year?" ”

The soldier replied, "Yes! ”

Xu Guangqi looked at the other soldiers: "Sure enough, it's black-hearted!" The fat jackets of these officers and soldiers look very bad, which makes the soldiers how to defend the enemy! ”

At this time, Yang Lian looked at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, what do you have to say now?" ”

Zhang Gui smiled faintly.

Han Jue spoke first at this time: "The fat jacket here was not given by us!" ”

When Sun Chengzong heard him say this, he took the initiative to ask the soldier: "Who supplied your fat jacket this year?" ”

The soldier shook his head and said he didn't know.

At this time, the chief soldier Chen Hongfan rushed over: "I don't know if the three Qincha and all the officials are coming, the last general has been patrolling the customs for a few days because of the unluck, and he rushed back at this time, and he is not welcome!" ”

"Might as well!"

Sun Chengzong replied first and asked, "Who supplies your fat jacket here?" ”

Yang Lian asked, "Was it sent by Uncle Guo?" ”

Xu Guangqi reminded: "You can't hide it, otherwise, you can't afford the consequences." ”

Chen Hongfan has always been timid, and hurriedly said: "The last general naturally doesn't dare to hide it, this year's fat jacket is not supplied by Uncle Guo, but by a person named Wei Jianren, who said that he is Liu Ge's old man." ”
