Chapter 428: Purge

Tang Shiqian entered the city for several days in a row. The calligraphy and painting shops in the capital, Huixian Building, and Guanlan Library have been there, except for one of his flowers and birds in the private room on the third floor of Huixian Building, and there are no other calligraphy and paintings sent to King Yue.

Tang Shiqian thought that the rest of the calligraphy and paintings must have been collected in the mansion by King Yue. King Yue is not short of silver, how could he put up his calligraphy and paintings for sale.

As soon as the thought came to mind, I thought again, isn't King Yue short of silver?

Didn't he mortgage the palace and borrow money to open a restaurant?

No, no, no, that was before, and now the immortal building is making money, how can there be a shortage of silver.

Tang Shiqian comforted himself. Thinking that King Yue liked his calligraphy and painting so much, he went back with his hands in his hands.

When I am idle, I love to drill into the study and splash ink, and it is rare to have the confidant of the king of Yue, who is willing to appreciate his calligraphy and painting, and must devote himself to creating a few better paintings to send to the king of Yue.

I heard that King Yue was in the imperial tomb for ten years, either farming or researching, since King Yue likes calligraphy and painting so much, he will ask for a few more for him.

So, Tang Shiqian, who has always refused to bend down to beg for help, wrote letters to his old friends and students who were successful in calligraphy and painting. I only said that I was trapped in the bottleneck of calligraphy and painting, and I begged to observe and learn calligraphy and painting.

A few days later, Zhao Guangyuan received more than a dozen masterpieces from Tang Wangzhi's father.

After admiring them, I sent them all to the modern age. After Lu Shanchang received it, he just released the wind, which caused a shock in the calligraphy and painting world, and the mobile phone was almost blown up, and many people wanted to ask for an ancient calligraphy and painting collection.

And Tang Wangzhi was praised by Zhao Guangyuan and Yao because of his serious errands, and he worked harder and harder.

Tang Shiqian also devoted himself more and more to creation.

The years have been quiet, but there is an undercurrent surging in the court.

After more than half a month of covert investigations, the prince's people soon mastered evidence of corruption in the military headquarters and various guard posts. No matter how clean King Qin handles it from beginning to end, it is impossible to do it without leakage. There will always be traces of what has been done.

At the court meeting that day, the crown prince presented various evidences, listing the illegal acts of the military department and some guards, such as secretly setting up private accounts, filling private pockets, lying about military supplies, eating empty nights, greedy for military expenses, concealing and failing to report the military exploits of soldiers and soldiers, etc., which shook the government and the opposition.

Emperor Zhizheng looked through the information presented by the prince, Rao is tenacious heart, and he was inevitably angry.

The prince made a secret visit to the military department and the generals, and Emperor Zhizheng had already received the news, but he just pretended not to know, let the prince investigate, and even secretly opened the back door to the prince.

Emperor Zhizheng knew that the military headquarters and the barracks were not clean, but he didn't expect it to be so unclean.

Xiang Baohua, the secretary of the military department, knelt on the ground, trembling. The gentleman is angry, the corpses are mountains and the sea of blood, I am afraid that he will not be good today. Whether he can get out of the palace alive or not is a matter of two words.

"The emperor is angry."

"Rest the wrath, rest the wrath, rest the wrath of the man! A good military department has been handed over to you, and you have made it into its current appearance, and you have betrayed my trust in you! ”

A few letters smashed in front of Xiang Baohua, almost scaring him to pee. "The sin of the minister deserves death!"

"You're damned! No death will atone for your sins! ”

"The emperor is angry!" Seeing that Emperor Zhizheng was not lightly angry, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground, please Emperor Zhizheng must take care of the dragon's body.

If this doesn't come up in one breath, the government and the opposition will be chaotic again. Courtiers who are accustomed to living a peaceful life, no one wants to endure the chaos of war, swords and arrows.

Zhao Guangyuan also knelt down with the courtiers, and once again had a deep understanding of the prince's ability.

Regardless of the prince's own ability, if he can find out these in a short period of time, there must be a lot of capable people under him. Compared to the fact that there are few people available now, Zhao Guangyuan secretly worries.

It seems that he has not recruited enough manpower.

The king of Chu and the king of Qin also knelt in the main hall, and the two brothers glanced at each other vaguely, and then turned their eyes away. With a secret hatred in his heart, his jealousy of the prince became stronger and stronger, and he wanted to get rid of the mountain in front of him as soon as possible.

Today's court meeting lasted until the beginning of the afternoon.

Many ministers entered the palace hungry, and stood in the main hall for several hours, bearing the wrath of the emperor, trembling in the morning, which would finally disperse, and their legs were weak, as if they had been filled with lead, and slowly moved outward.

Even the high threshold of the main hall could barely be crossed.

The same is true for Zhao Guangyuan, even if he eats enough in the mansion when he comes, he will be physically and mentally exhausted. After leaving the main hall, he glanced at Jiang Xiang, and he didn't have the strength to say a few more words, and they separated.

After leaving the palace, he did not go to Si Nongsi, but returned to the house. First, after a full meal, and then a short rest, a group of staff members were summoned.

"I'm afraid that the military department will have a big purge."

Not only the Ministry of War, it is estimated that many generals abroad will be belittled, and it is estimated that there are not a few who have lost their positions and abandoned their titles.

The faces of the crowd were solemn.

"It's a pity that the prince's people didn't catch the handle of King Qin and King Chu." Just those small mistakes were not enough to shake the status of King Qin.

"King Qin and King Chu moved quickly, and when he learned about it early, he skimmed himself off." It's a shame.

"It's not a pity, this time the prince is only afraid that he will take this opportunity to clear out the manpower of King Qin and King Chu. King Qin is afraid that he will hurt his muscles and bones. "And King Qin has suffered such a big blow, how can he not retaliate against the prince.

Zhao Guangyuan listened silently and remained silent.

The crown prince was determined to take this opportunity to clear the hands of the king of Qin, but he did not want to see the military department become the prince's pocket. If the crown prince is powerful, the king of Qin is suppressed and has no power to fight back, which is not a good thing for him.

The staff also know this truth. If the prince's family is allowed to dominate, it will be greatly disadvantageous to the prince.

"Lord, what the prince did this time may have won the emperor's heart, if the emperor hands over the military department to the prince, I am afraid it will be ......"

I'm afraid that King Qin will be greatly stifled, and even the prince of his family will be greatly inconvenient to act in the future.

Zhao Guangyuan frowned, and the military department could not be handed over to the prince. He was happy to see them dog-eat-dog, and if the days were peaceful, what fun would there be.

"Chuda is there, let people go to contact and contact. Even if Zhuo Baohua can save his life this time, he can't be a scholar. Although Chu Da's qualifications are not as good as Dou Ying, he gave birth to a good daughter. ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Chu Da is the right attendant of the military department, Zhuo Baohua took office, and there is a left attendant Dou Ying in front of him, and it is said that it is not his turn to be qualified. But who let him give birth to a good daughter, his daughter Concubine Yi, among the beauties of Emperor Zhizheng, is quite favored, and gave birth to King Wu and the third princess, Chu Da has two good grandsons, who are more confident than Dou Ying.

Doesn't Chu Da want to fight, don't want to be the secretary of the military department? Is he willing to be held back and dictated to him? It is estimated that there is no need for people to say it, he will have to operate up and down himself.

Emperor Zhizheng had a seizure in the court, and everyone in the military department was in danger. Except for cooperating with the investigation, they are all closed doors.

Within a few days, the military department was purged, and although Shang Shuzhuo Baohua saved his life, he was demoted to a concubine. Many officials of the military department were killed, and those who were demoted were demoted. The two squires were only fined for three years, which is already a great luck.

King Qin's manpower was cleared, but he himself was not affected much, except for being summoned into the palace by Emperor Zhizheng and reprimanded, there was no impact on the surface, and he should still eat and drink.

As for the new candidate for the secretary of the Ministry of War, there is still no conclusion.
