In the Qianqing Palace, sandalwood rises. After Li Yu hit a soft nail in Xu's house, he came back as soon as possible to recover his life.

Perhaps worried that Zhu Youzhu would be angry, Zhang Sheng, who originally planned to come to thank him, also came in with him.

It was a coincidence that Wang Xiang of Jinyi Wei Qianhu came to report to Xie Ke after the interrogation, and he also knelt here with Li Yu and Zhang Sheng.

Since yesterday's Qiuxiang incident, the palace maids who stayed in Dongnuan Pavilion today obviously understood the rules better, and when the three officials came in, they all quietly retreated.

Liu Jin was now focused on cultivating, and was standing beside Zhu Youzhang in an orderly manner with Buddha dust in his hand, and the light reflected from the window fell on his gorgeous eunuch costume.

The four people here seemed to be angry and did not dare to breathe, obviously feeling the emperor's anger. Holding the twelve battalions of the Beijing Army, the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the young son of heaven with resourcefulness and skill, and now there are still courtiers who dare to openly sing the opposite tune to anger this emperor.

"Refusal? Very good, really good! Zhu Youzhu was about to look at Huguang Xun's impeachment of Wang Yue by Jiang Hong, but when he heard Li Yu's return, he was also angry.

Perhaps sensing the emperor's anger, Li Yu and Zhang Sheng buried their heads even lower.

"Rise up and discuss! Xu Pu refused to be appointed by the emperor, how should he deal with this matter? Zhu Youzhu suppressed the burning anger and asked lightly.

Li Yu and Zhang Sheng found that Hongzhi was more stable than they imagined, and they couldn't help but secretly exhale a turbid breath, and then got up to thank him.

Wang Xiang is a typical young man's mentality, and he immediately couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, since Xu Pu is so ignorant of promotion, this is simply a blatant opposition to Your Majesty, and Weichen thinks that he should be removed from his post and dealt with!" ”

"Master Li, Master Zhang, what do you think?" Zhu Youzhu didn't actually want to ask Wang Xiang's advice, so he directly locked on Li Yu and Zhang Shengdao.

Zhang Sheng, who had just been promoted to the rank of Hanlin Attendant, looked at Li Yu and didn't seem to have thought about it, so he took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this matter should not be too big, but Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department, can take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and quickly quell the criticism caused by this matter!" Du Ming acknowledged Long's grace, and he would not dare to do anything to refuse the will! ”

"If you don't dispose of Xu Pu, the courtiers are afraid that I will use it when I am afraid of him!" Zhu Youzhu put down the music in his hand heavily, and seemed unable to swallow this breath.

In fact, it's not just that he's angry now, Xu Pu is now clearly asking him to abolish it

"Imperial order promotion", but changed to the Jiuqing Court in the Yingzong period. These Wenchen kept saying that they were loyal to the monarch, and as a result, they did everything possible to steal money and power from the Zhu family, and now they still have a face showing the Jiuqing court push system established by the eight-year-old emperor.

At this moment, he found that the case of Zhou Lie's rebellion really had to be implemented as soon as possible, and there was no one to deter these young people, and he really thought that he was a good man and a woman.

Wang's reaction to Zhu Youzhu was empathetic, and when he said again: "Your Majesty, Xu Pu's disobedient courtiers can't be used, and Weichen thinks that when he orders Zhishi, Weichen also asks Xu Pu to investigate his greed for ink!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is not appropriate to deal with Xu Pu immediately! Xu Pu provoked the dispute between the imperial mandate and the Jiuqing court push, but the emperor's mandate was in the front and the Jiuqing court was pushed behind. If His Majesty disposes of Xu Pu immediately, it will make the world think that His Majesty is weak-hearted, so it is better to argue, so that he can return to the Great Ancestor's custom! Li Yu took a deep breath and said when he stood up.

Zhu Youzhu naturally realized the mystery in it, but he still had a bad breath in his heart and said: "What I want is to counteract the handbreaker!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that the position of the Ministry of Rites could be temporarily vacant, one was naturally left blank for the dispute between the emperor's mandate and the Jiuqing court, and the other was that the minister thought that His Majesty had already dug a pit!" Li Yu glanced at Zhu Youjiao, and seemed to have something to say.

Hey? Zhang Sheng and Wang Xiang didn't understand what Li Yu was talking about, and they couldn't help but look at Hongzhi suspiciously.

"What pit did I dig?" Zhu Youzhu asked quietly and rhetorically.

"If Xu Pu accepts the emperor's grace today, then Cheng Minzheng, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, will take over as a bachelor of Hanlin, Xie Qianchao will move to a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, and Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials will hold a court push. However, Xu Pu is not in office today, and the ordination of the latter two cannot be carried out, and Xu Pu has already blocked the way of these two people! There are clouds in officialdom: those who block people from promotion are like killing their parents! Li Yu analyzed.

Wang Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, and he couldn't help blurting out: "That's the case!" If the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is left vacant, wouldn't Cheng Minzheng, Xie Qian and others hate Xu Pu so much! ”

"If it is the left servant of the court promotion department, Liu Xuan, the current right waiter of the ministry, is a Ji Shi in the second year of Jingtai, and he can definitely be progressive. Now Xu Pu refuses to accept the post, which also blocks Liu Xuan's way! Your Majesty, now immediately issue an order to Xu Pu Zhishi, but to achieve Xu Pu's historical fame, but also to damage the emperor's decree to confer the correct law, so please bear with me from time to time, let the post of the Ministry of Rites be vacant! Li Yu observed Zhu Youzhang's reaction, and even proposed while the iron was hot.

This...... Zhang Sheng suddenly realized that it was indeed a bit abnormal for him to take over Liu Jian's Hanlin Bachelor's Degree and Xie Qian's to Cheng Minzheng's Hanlin Bachelor's Degree, as if it had been calculated a long time ago, and couldn't help but look at this unfathomable student in shock.

"Lord Li, what do you think is the real motive for Xu Pu's refusal to accept the emperor's favor?" Zhu Youzhang's face was slightly softened, but he wanted to listen to Li Yu's opinion.

Li Yu pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "The minister can't say for sure!" It's just that Xu Pu's current situation, a secretary of the Ministry of Rites is indeed not as good as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials! ”

"I still have this amount of tolerance! Now that Xu Pu has rejected the emperor's favor with his own selfish intentions, I can not punish it for the sake of the overall situation, but I hope that the three of them will help me get rid of the traitors in the future, and return the Ming Dynasty to great governance! Zhu Youzhu no longer delved into Xu Pu's true motives, and immediately made a decision.

Li Yu, Zhang Sheng, and Wang Yuan immediately expressed their stance together: "The minister swears to serve His Majesty!" Liu Jin glanced at Zhu Youzhu thoughtfully, and faintly felt that this emperor had already had murderous intentions.

Xu Pu is probably really confused this time, even if he is greedy for power and wants to stay in the position of the left servant of the ministry, then he chooses to refuse politely, but he still makes such a play, isn't this self-defeating?

"Wang Xiang, why are you leaving?" Zhu Youzhu saw Li Yu and the others retreating, and couldn't help but say to Wang Xiang, who turned around and was about to leave.

"Huh? Look at Weichen's memory! Wang Xiang patted his forehead with hindsight, and immediately reported: "Weichen has just personally interrogated Xie Ke, and Xie Ke has not revealed the whereabouts of the account book!" It's just that he said that if His Majesty can stop raiding their Xie family's old house, he will be willing to write out the account book silently, and there will be evidence of Xu Pu's corruption of ink! ”

"Dictation? Can this be credible? It is impossible for Xu Pu to bribe Xie Yikui, let alone act so carelessly! Zhu Youzhu found that this Xie Gongzi was a little cute, and even sneered.

"The minister thinks the same way!" Wang Xiang actually saw this, but it was his duty to report truthfully, but he said seriously: "The minister has been tortured today, but I don't know if Xie Ke has a hard mouth or really doesn't know, but he still refuses to speak, just ......"

"Just what?" Zhu Youzhu had already picked up the music again, looking quiet. Wang Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then reported truthfully: "He did recruit something: he said that Xie Yikui asked him to write down a number, saying that it was thirteen thousand two hundred and thirteen!" ”

"What does that mean?" Zhu Youzhu looked confused. Wang Xiang looked at the smart Zhu Youzhu and didn't know, so he shook his head bitterly and said: "Wechen is also puzzled, Wechen is incompetent, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

"Xie Ke is probably not an insider, you will do one more thing for me!" Zhu Youzhu wrote down this number easily, but a thought suddenly came to him.

Wang Xiang's face suddenly straightened, and he immediately arched his hand and said, "Please make it clear to Your Majesty!" ”

"I heard that Xu Yuanji, the fourth son of the Xu family, is deeply favored by Xu Pu, and often lingers in the land of fireworks, and checks where his silver comes from!" Zhu Youzhu had a decision in his heart, so he ordered lightly.

Wang Xiang knew that Zhu Youzhu was venting his anger and was also investigating him, so he even arched his hand and said: "Obey!" "Beizhen Fusi, in prison.

"It's time to eat!" Xie Ke woke up in a daze, his stomach was already hungry at this time, and he saw that the dog food that he had disdained was on the edge of the fence, and when he pounced on it with his eyes shining, he devoured it.

It was only halfway through his meal that he suddenly felt a cramping pain in his abdomen.
