Jiang Yueguang hesitated, and then said, "However, Gao Ge Lao, do you really want to be so careful?" ”

Gao Hongtu sighed lightly and said, "Why do you want this? However, since you and I are sitting in this position, we can only assume this responsibility. ”

Jiang Yueguang understood this.

Preemptively, then preemptively.

If they don't do it, Shi Kefa will do it first.

Jiang Yueguang said again: "Gao Ge Lao, you won't leave the beginning and the end, right?" ”

The stake in this matter is too great, and Jiang Yueguang is still worried that it will be exposed.

"Look at this." Gao Hongtu handed a secret letter to Jiang Yueguang.

After Jiang Yueguang read the secret letter, the whole person was stunned, it turned out to be a secret letter written by Gu San Mazi to the Caojiang Admiral's Office!

In the letter, Gu San Mazi reported another group of pirates to the Caojiang Admiral, and promised that when the Caojiang Admiral Office sent troops to recruit troops, he would be responsible for blocking the water retreat.

Jiang Yueguang asked in a low voice: "So that Haikou is already ......."

"It has been exterminated, more than 300 pirates have been beheaded, and more than 100 have been captured." Gao Hongtu said, "So Jiang Ge Lao, your worries are superfluous, this eucalyptus is already an iron eucalyptus, and whoever comes can't turn it over." ”

Jiang Yueguang bowed his head lightly, and said: "If Xuzhou is defeated, is there really no problem?" ”

"What could be the problem?" Gao Hong Tuxin said that Jiang Yanji was as timid as a mouse.

He patiently explained: "Huai'an Township is brave enough to fight, and there are 200,000 people, Zuo Liangyu has also died of illness, and now the elite of Wuchang Town is in the hands of Yuncong, so even if Xuzhou is defeated, the Ming Dynasty is as solid as a rock." ”

Jiang Yueguang was relieved when he heard this, and now there is really no problem.

……

Today's noon dynasty is the top ten pilgrimages.

It was supposed to be the early dynasty, but Yongwang Zhu Cizhi couldn't get up early, so it was changed to the Wu dynasty.

When Wu Linzheng, Chen Liangmo, and Wu Ganlai walked into the main hall, they obviously felt that the atmosphere was a little unusual.

As time passed, officials from Beijing entered the hall one after another.

The last officials to come in were the four elders of the cabinet and the Shangshu Shilang of the six ministries.

On one side are Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, Xie Xuelong and other three elders, as well as Zhang Youyu and more than a dozen Shangshu or waiters, on the other side there are only two lonely Lingling, Shi Kefa, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Meng Zhaoxiang, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In the end, Yongwang Zhu Cizhi arrived with the support of the little eunuch.

This little kid didn't know what he did last night, and he needed help.

After sitting on the eucalyptus, Zhu Cizhi yawned and said lazily, "Let's start." ”

He Zhikong, the eunuch of the celebrant and the pen, said in a sharp voice: "If there is something to do, play early, and if there is nothing to retreat, ...... will retreat."

A big court meeting like this is usually a formality, and national events are usually not put here to talk about it, but if it is a big court meeting, it will be a big event!

It means that the two sides have become inseparable.

As a result, as soon as He Zhikong's voice fell, Yuan Pengnian immediately went out of class and said: "Your Highness, the minister has a book." ”

Zhu Cizhi raised his hand, and Yuan Pengnian immediately played: "In the matter of Yuan Pengnian's impeachment of the current cabinet chief assistant Shi Kefa, there are a total of eighteen crimes!" ”

Shi Kefa changed color when he heard this.

The officials in the palace were also in an uproar.

Even Zhu Cizhi sat up straight.

Yuan Pengnian played one by one: "The first crime, forming a party for personal gain, in the first month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Yuan Jixian, the governor of Jiangxi, and the governor of Changsha, Du Yinxi, came to Nanjing to report on their work, and Shi Kefa privately invited them to meet and cited the two as party henchmen. ”

"The second crime, selling the official mantle, October of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Quanzhou Zhizhou ......"

"The third crime is disobedience and unfilial piety, and Chongzhen was a prostitute during his mother's funeral for ten years......"

"The fourth crime is to fornicate with the family, fornicate with his nephew and daughter-in-law, and give birth to a son......"

Hearing this, Shi Kefa almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Thinking that he is so affectionate and far-reaching, when did he receive such an insult?

"Your Highness!" Shi Kefa rushed out of the class, "Please beg the bones and return to your hometown." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Zhu Cizhi to reply, Shi Kefa took off the black veil and rested in the main hall, then turned around and left.

was slandered and attacked by political enemies like this, if he was cheeky enough to stay in the court as an official, he would inevitably become a laughing stock of Shilin, which was better for Shi Kefa, who had always cherished his feathers, to simply kill him.

So he can't be the first assistant, and he doesn't want to be it for a day.

Seeing Shi Kefa walk out of the main hall, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang and others sneered.

However, Meng Zhaoxiang and the other four were a little dumbfounded, Shi Ge Lao, you can't be like this.

It's easy for you to leave, but how can you fight them if you leave a few of us?

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Kefa left, Liu Kongzhao, the sincere governor of Caojiang, came out of the class and said: "Your Highness, the Caojiang Governor's Office just cracked a Tongkou eucalyptus last night. ”

"Eucalyptus Tongkou?" Zhu Cizhi said with a lack of interest, "What's the matter?" ”

"Here's how it happened." Liu Kongzhao told the events of last night from beginning to end, of course, all of them were arranged in advance, not the real truth.

Gao Hongtu followed out of the class and said: "Your Highness, such a cowardly eucalyptus should be dealt with severely, strictly and quickly. ”

Zhu Cizhi felt that what he said was reasonable, but when he was about to nod, he saw another minister standing up at the bottom of the stairs.

"Your Highness not!" What came out turned out to be Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital, "There are many doubts about this, and it needs to be retried." ”

"Liu Duxian!" Gao Hongtu glared at Liu Zongzhou with an unkind expression, "Right now, the battlefield in Xuzhou is fighting with Jiannu, if there is chaos in the rear again, do you know what the consequences will be?" ”

"Not bad!" Jiang Yueguang also came out and echoed, "When the thunderous means are used to deal with it seriously and quickly, for the pirates and the thieves of the Tongkou, it is better to kill the wrong than to let go!" ”

"Your Highness, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" Huang Jiarui, who has been promoted from the governor of Nanzhi to the left waiter of the Criminal Department, came out of the class and said, "Nanzhi has not made trouble with Haikou for many years, and Gu San Mazi has only been active in the open sea, so there are indeed many doubts in this case, although it must not be tolerated for the thieves of Tongkou, but it must not be indiscriminately killed!" ”

"The ministers seconded it!" Huang Jiarui's voice fell, and many officials followed.

However, there are also many officials who echo Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang, and the difference in numbers between the two sides is similar.

Seeing this, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang's faces fell, there were so many people who objected?

Jiang Yueguang couldn't help but cast a complaining glance at Gao Hongtu, I said that I was in a hurry, and in such a little time, I didn't have time to operate and greet everyone, and now it's causing chaos, right?

Meng Zhaoxiang and the other four people were in good spirits when they saw it, and it seemed that the Donglin Party was really infighting.

At this time, Liu Zongzhou said again: "Your Highness, please have the Criminal Department, Ying Tianfu and the Metropolitan Procuratorate meet to try this case, and Ying Tianfu will preside over the trial, and the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will supervise. ”

"Quasi-play." Zhu Cizhi yawned and said, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must not be left without an officer." Zhang Youyu, the head of the household department, said, "At present, Ma Mingluo, the deputy director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is in prison pending trial, and all matters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have stopped, but the Jiannu of the Xuzhou battlefield will not stop attacking, and the saint and the more than 100,000 hungry people in Xuzhou City are waiting to be fed, and the minister asks Tingtui to take over the Internal Affairs Office." ”

Zhu Cizhi was a little disapproving: "It's just a six-grade main thing, where can I use the court push?" ”

After a pause, Zhu Cizhi said again: "And after all, the Internal Affairs Office is an internal court institution, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the Six Ministries, so this candidate for the principal needs to be spoken by the emperor." ”

Zhang Youyu lost no time in saying: "In this way, it can only be temporarily managed by our household department first." ”

Zhu Cizhi snorted softly when he heard this, and was about to agree, but he saw Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, coming out.

"Your Highness." Meng Zhaoxiang shook Zhu Cijiong, and said to Zhang Youyu, "This matter doesn't bother Situ. ”

"Uncle Zong's words are wrong." Zhang Youyu said abruptly, "The household department is in charge of the money and grain of the Great Tomorrow, and it is only right that the money and grain of the Internal Affairs Office are in charge, and I dare not borrow the hands of others in this matter." ”
