Seeing this, Emperor Wanli waved his hand helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, let's all get up!"

After the courtiers all stood up, Emperor Wanli continued, "Don't talk about those useless things, let's talk about how to deal with this matter first!"

After Emperor Wanli finished speaking, several people lowered their heads and remained silent, and the hall was silent for a while. But there is someone who can't be silent, and that is the person from the Criminal Department. So Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department had to go out of class under the eyes of Shang Shu and said, "Your Majesty, the White Lotus Sect is causing trouble in the world, and it must be severely punished!" In particular, the people of Tianjin are mostly confused by it, and they should execute the prisoners locally as soon as possible to deter the foolish people! And the Ministry of Criminal Affairs has already made a statute on this matter, so you can just do it!"

What this squire said was decent and unbiased. But those who had other plans refused to let the matter settle so quickly. So immediately one of the courtiers came out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter must not be handled like this!"

Emperor Wanli looked up and immediately recognized the person, and suddenly felt a burst of surprise! This time it was actually a nobleman who came out of class! You must know that these nobles basically spent their time standing and sleeping in the early court, not to mention any attention to the government and politics! Therefore, the appearance of this person was not only surprised by Emperor Wanli, but also the courtiers had a commotion!

I only heard this person say loudly: "Wu Ninghou has already made it clear in the transcript that some people in the Jingshi are the supporters of the White Lotus Sect bandits, so it can be seen that these bandits also have manpower in the Jingshi, and maybe they are still mixed in the court!" Therefore, when the minister thought of the rumors among the Jingshi a few days ago and slandered Wu Ninghou, the minister shuddered! You must know that many of the people who said those words were from official eunuch families, and they even publicized them in public, so this matter should be thoroughly investigated!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a courtier came out of the class and said, "Your Majesty, this person is simply nonsense! Those White Lotus Sect bandits may be okay to fool some fools and foolish women, where can they deceive the people in the court! Some people should talk about it casually, why is it related to the White Lotus Sect bandits?"

As soon as the two men spoke, their respective supporters came out to debate each other. The reason for one side is that the rumors in the Beijing Division cannot appear for no reason, and the Mr. Wang in the mouth of the White Lotus Sect bandits is clearly the person sent by the Beijing Division, so it can be seen that there must be a backstage!

Those who oppose it say that Mr. Wang is a broker and has no credibility, and his statement must be nonsense to get rid of the crime. Maybe they've been hired to deceive the world!

Everyone was arguing for a long time, and even Emperor Wanli didn't react for a while! Originally, he also wanted to take this opportunity to clean up some courtiers that he didn't like, and show his authority by the way! But before he could do it, the courtiers themselves pinched it first! ap.

He saw that the courtiers were arguing fiercely, so he waved his hand to Zhang Jia and whispered, "What's going on?"

Zhang Jia stood outside the bureau and could see it clearly, and he directly whispered, "Official position!"

Emperor Wanli immediately understood when he heard this, and then he was annoyed! The appearance of the White Lotus Sect bandits near Gyeonggi can be used by them to compete for official positions, what else can't you courtiers do!

At this time, the following controversy has reached the point of personal attack, and someone directly pointed it out and said that someone made a big announcement in a certain place on a certain day in a certain month, and Wu Ninghou had filled his pockets after collecting taxes in Tianjin. The other party said that this person just listened to the message and relayed it.

Just when everyone was noisy, Zhang Siwei suddenly came out of class! Everyone saw that a big man had come forward, and the two sides of the quarrel immediately quieted down.

Zhang Siwei saluted and said, "Your Majesty, there is always no result in such a quarrel, it is better to deal with the relevant affairs as soon as possible, and not to affect the government!"

Emperor Wanli pondered Zhang Siwei's thoughts in his heart and nodded at the same time and said, "Elder Zhang Ge is reasonable, but the courtiers are arguing, so what can I do?"

Zhang Siwei said, "It's also very simple, this matter just needs to be handled separately! Let's talk about these White Lotus Sect bandits first, and the minister thinks that he should immediately escort the first criminal to Jingshi for strict examination, to see if there is a gap between the things they confessed and the things they confessed in Tianjin?"

Hearing this, Emperor Wanli sank his face and said, "Elder Zhang Ge, do you mean that Wu Ninghou is coaxing me?"

Zhang Siwei shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, that's not what the minister meant. Wu Ninghou extinguished

The White Lotus Sect is naturally meritorious, but he may not be good at adjudicating cases. It is better to scrutinize these offenders in detail in case there are any omissions."

Emperor Wanli already knew that Liu Haojia had done something in it, and these criminals would not change their words, so he nodded and said, "Elder Zhang Ge said this very much. But what should we do about what the man surnamed Wang said was instructed by someone behind him?"

Zhang Siwei said unhurriedly, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the person who instructed him should investigate slowly, and there is no need to pursue too much. After all, there are many officials in the Jingshi, and it would be bad to trace them back without empirical evidence, and it would be bad to cause turmoil in the court!"

Emperor Wanli said loudly: "Why can't we investigate it, and what turmoil will there be in the court? The people who are willing to be officials in this world are like carp crossing the river, and the next batch can just make up for the next batch, maybe the imperial court can handle things more smoothly, lest there be a White Lotus Sect bandit in Gyeonggi next time, but the Manchu Dynasty civil and military will not know!"

But at this time, Zhang Juzheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is indeed not easy to move lightly at this time! At this time, it was a critical period for the implementation of the examination law and a whipping law, and if the investigation continued, I was afraid that all officials at all levels would be in danger and delay the government. Besides, Your Majesty is about to get married, and it is not advisable to raise a big prison during this period! What's more, there have been many incidents since Wu Ninghou formed the navy, so it is advisable to be quiet and not easy to move at this time!"

Emperor Wanli understood the meaning of this Zhang Juzheng, which was a subtle reminder of his political exchange. Emperor Wanli now understands the matter of governance, and it is simply the exchange of interests and the struggle within a certain range. And this battle is naturally won and lost!

The government set off a civil unrest in Tianjin, so that he wanted to defeat Wu Ninghou, and if he won, he would naturally get the benefits of Tianjin. And Liu Haojia hit a backhand and overturned all his opponents, which is his ability. And now that the winner of this battle has been decided, it is natural to stop, otherwise the fight will continue to be a party dispute! Just like Liu Haojia defeated Ning Baiqiang and others before, they resigned and returned to their hometowns, and the matter was over!

Moreover, Zhang Juzheng's speech was extremely weighty, and Emperor Wanli must also consider it seriously. So he restrained his anger and said, "Mr. Zhang, but this group of people has jumped out again and again, can't I clean it up?"
