Wu Xingbang's death shocked the government and the opposition.

Yang Bo was furious and convened officials above Jiuqing several times to discuss the arrest of the real culprit.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he shouted fierce slogans on his lips, but in fact he did not take any real action.

At most, it is just to let Jinyiwei investigate, and let the criminal department investigate.

Examine?

How to check?

Even Qin Yan, the most suspicious suspect in this case, still enters the cabinet every day to do business, and the ghost knows that Yang Bo doesn't want to do much at all.

Why?

To put it cruelly, Wu Xingbang's death is also in his arms!

Wu Xingbang is the original first assistant, and Yang Bo is only the third assistant in his cabinet.

As soon as Wu Xingbang dies, there will naturally be one less person who can snatch the position of first assistant with him in the future, and it is also the most critical one.

Gu Shouyuan left Nanjing, Qin Yan was notorious, and now only Xu Song can wrestle his wrist with him.

However, on the fourth day after Wu Xingbang's death, suddenly, a bullet stamped Yang Bo sniffed the opportunity to get rid of Xu Song.

It turned out that just when Fang Xi was demoted to a concubine and Tianjin Sanwei returned to Tianjin, who knew that in the past two days, all the officials of more than 1,000 households in Tianjin Sanwei jointly signed the impeachment of Xu Song and Xu He's uncle and nephew.

It is to the effect that Xu Song instigated the horse Xu He to kill the commander of Tianjin Wei and Tianjin Left Guard.

After Yang Bo received the bullet seal, he immediately became interested, and asked Fan Dang to summon a group of Jin officials to go back to the mansion to discuss.

Everyone unanimously agreed that this bullet seal was someone with ulterior motives who wanted to get rid of Xu He with the help of the cabinet.

After all, Xu He is so young, and he has made great achievements suddenly, and there are many people who are red-eyed.

Li Tiaoyuan, director of the Jiangxi Department of the Criminal Department, said to Yang Bo: "Pavilion Elder, Xu He's palace is trustworthy, and he is supported by the queen, it is difficult to move him, especially at this time, with him, you can deter the Beijing Division!" Xia Guan felt that Xu He could not be easily provoked. ”

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, and this time the Tatars entered the court, so that many people in the court saw that Xu He was extraordinary.

Such a fierce Tatar can deal with the soldiers and horses around Gyeonggi, and even the three major battalions are as easy as the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.

But this Xu Horse actually "drove away" the Tatars with a group of Cao soldiers.

If he really made this unhappy, he led his troops to the next station in the city, wouldn't Yang Bo sit on wax?

Li Tiaoyuan said: "But this opportunity, we can't let Xu He easily resolve it." ”

When Yang Bo heard this, he suddenly became interested: "Huaqing, tell me, what should I do?" ”

Li Tiaoyuan said: "Elder Ge, I am the director of the Jiangxi Department of the Criminal Department, and I happen to be in charge of Long Xiaowei and others, taking this opportunity, I can use the excuse of someone to impeach, and the opportunity of the Cabinet Ordering the Criminal Department to investigate to muddy the waters, at least let Xu He have no time to take care of him!" ”

Yang Bo squinted his eyes and said, "Huaqing, in fact, your real goal is ......"

Li Tiaoyuan said: "Xu Song! ”

Yang Bo shook his head: "Xiao Shigong neither forms a party for personal gain, nor does he bend the law for bribes, and I can't feel at ease when I get rid of his ......!" ”

When are you still pretending to be here, and the Jin officials sneered in their hearts.

Li Tiaoyuan said: "Xu Song is guilty, he is a cabinet minister and in charge of the military department, but the situation in Huguang has been repeatedly corrupted. ”

"With so many people dead and so much military rations spent, someone has to be responsible!"

When everyone heard this, this reason was okay, and they immediately nodded.

"That is, Sheng Zhengqi recommended by Xu Song is too stable, and the Zhu thief has entered Henan, but they are still slowly mobilizing grain, grass, soldiers and horses. If this continues, when will the imperial court be able to quell this gang of rebels? ”

"However, even if Xu Song leaves Beijing, who can take his place?"

The crowd was silent.

The world has been peaceful for a long time, and there are few ministers who have led soldiers, and even fewer who are qualified.

Although he Yang Bo entered the cabinet as a tool to spur Xu Song, he himself is also a soldier.

But now his goal has changed, and now he is running for the position of the first assistant who commands the overall situation, and there are so many things in the world that it is impossible for him, the first assistant, to concentrate on military affairs.

So after Xu Song leaves, who will take over will become a big problem.

"Shaanxi's political envoy Zuo Jixian can be in this position, he was originally in Shandong Dongchang Prefecture Governor to lead the troops to clear the bandits, and in Shaanxi for Sheng Zhengqi to support grain and grass, the most important thing is that when he was young, he also served as a member of the military department under the old cabinet minister!" Li Tiaoyuan gave his candidate.

Yang Bo nodded after listening: "I am familiar with Jin Qing, this person is talented, although he only has the experience of attacking and suppressing small bandits, but looking at his leading troops, it can be regarded as a well-founded advance and retreat!" OK! ”

Once the candidate was agreed, everyone soon began to operate.

First of all, there were rumors in the imperial court that when Xu He was in Qinghedian, he wrote 120,000 taels of silver and did not hand it over to the imperial court.

Coupled with the impeachment of officials with more than 1,000 households in Tianjin, the cabinet quickly moved a document to order the Criminal Department to investigate the matter.

However, the official who investigated and prosecuted was Li Tiaoyuan, the director of the Jiangxi Division.

Li Tiaoyuan soon left Beijing and rushed to Changping.

The officials and people in Beijing who learned of this incident immediately made an uproar and accused the imperial court of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

But the appearance of one person made everyone fall into suspicion.

It turned out that Long Xiangwei captured the former Ma Lanyu guerrillas during the Battle of Qinghedian, and later took refuge in Meng Hong, who was named Meng En in Mongolia.

This guy was imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department for a while, but after confessing yesterday that Xu He had fought in Qinghedian, he asked his subordinates to carry the Tatar looted assets and took them away, and the rest was handed over to the imperial court.

Meng Hong was originally a Wei traitor, and no one believed his words at all, but in his confession, he wrote in great detail where Xu He's subordinates moved, loaded what cars, and what they said, and there was no loophole for a while.

Now some people believe it.

Li Tiaoyuan got the news of the investigation of Long Xiangwei, and immediately took his subordinates out of Beijing and rushed to Changping.

And as soon as Li Tiaoyuan left, the folds of dealing with Xu Song continued to pile up on the desk of the cabinet.

First, the matter of Huguang does not need to be repeated; The second is Tianjin Sanwei, and now a group of Jin Party officials are biting Xu Song to bring him to King Qin, which is no problem, but the will does not allow him to kill innocents indiscriminately.

Xu He was his nephew, and when he killed the two commanders, he also took the holy decree that Xu Song brought to Tianjin.

In this way, there were originally two groups of people, but because of a holy decree, the Jin Party linked Xu Song and Xu He's behavior together.

Xu He dealt with Tianjin Sanwei, he originally did not have a holy decree in his hand, and in that case, it was impossible to go to Beijing to ask for a holy decree, so he could only borrow Xu Song's will.

Originally, this was not a big deal, it was all for the sake of this country, so I asked if it was the end of the transfer of troops in this will.

But I'm afraid of going online.

People bite you and say that you don't have the right to make a decision on the spot, so you are breaking the law by killing someone.

This kind of news naturally can't be hidden from Xu Song, who is also a cabinet minister.

Yang Bo has the support of Jin officials, although he does not form a party for personal gain on weekdays, but there are many officials in Nanzhili who can't stand the Jin Party's style, and stand up to help Xu Song speak.

The two sides are arguing with each other, and no one can hold the other for a while.

However, an accident caused this battle of cabinet ministers, which would have taken some days to determine the winner, and soon ended with Yang Bo's big victory.
