Late at night.

The master and apprentice packed their bags and went further and further on the path of breaking the law......

After coming back, Zhang was sloppy to catch up on sleep, and Li Qing made breakfast.

After breakfast, Li Qing took off his apron, thought about it, changed into his official uniform, rode on a donkey, and rushed to the palace again.

Compared to yesterday's sneakiness, this time, he is above board.

The donkey has been depressed for a long time, and as soon as he goes out, he spreads his hooves and runs wildly, and his foot strength is not much better than that of a war horse.

It wasn't until it entered the stable that it lowered its proud head so that it didn't look too out of place.

~

Fengtian Temple.

I haven't been here for a long time, and Li Qing even has a strange feeling.

After all, the military department gave the matter only seven grades, although he could enter the court, but it was only the tail of the crane, standing at the door, and Li Qing's arrival did not attract people's attention.

Li Qing's popularity is not good, and the six departments around him are too lazy to take care of him.

He didn't care, he was happy.

Li Qing is a transparent person, but there is one person who is completely different from him and attracts everyone's attention.

The eunuch who holds the seal of the celebrant eunuch, Wang Zhen!

That's right, Wang Zhen also came today, replacing the eunuch on duty in the past, and standing on duty in person.

The ministers glared angrily: How dare you dare to do this?

Wang Zhen was not stunned at all: Come on, hurt each other, see who can't bear it first, if our family frowns, it won't be a master.

Touching the missing ear, the anger in his heart was even greater.

Damn, Grandpa Wang is fighting with you today.

Thinking of Li Qing's assurance, he was not panicked at all, and after Li Qing's counter-killing, he scared off the civil official group, Wang Zhen was full of confidence.

Actually, he didn't want to do it psychologically, but he didn't have a choice.

He has offended too many people, and the reason this time is that the Empress Dowager Sun's father is not desperate to please the emperor, even if he survives the civil service, the Sun family may not be able to tolerate him.

Only by going out and fighting hard and making the emperor realize his own value can he survive this crisis.

Yu Qian glanced at Wang Zhen, and then looked back at Li Qing's location, already having a plan in his heart.

——Re-entering the West, today!

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Qizhen walked into the main hall, today he was dressed in a dragon robe, he was at the age of heroism, and he walked with the wind.

When Wang Zhen saw him coming, he immediately flattered him, bent down and walked to the dragon chair.

Zhu Qizhen was a little puzzled, he didn't know the details, because Li Qing didn't tell him.

Wang Zhen thought that Li Qing would tell him, so he didn't talk to Zhu Qizhen.

Seeing Zhu Qizhen's suspicious gaze, Wang Zhenhui was mistaken, thinking that he was confirming, so he nodded heavily, looking at death as if he were at home.

Zhu Qizhen was even more confused: I just want to say, you don't want to hide in the celebrant supervisor, what are you doing here, you point the head of a hammer, what the hell is this?

It was inconvenient to ask now, Zhu Qi suppressed his thoughts, turned around gorgeously, and sat on the dragon chair.

The ministers bowed down and made a big salute to the monarch and ministers: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live...... ”

"All the ministers are flat!"

"Your Majesty."

The ministers got up and returned to their shifts, staring at Wang Zhen, the temporary eunuch on duty, with unkind eyes, undisguised murderous aura.

Wang Zhen seemed to be unconscious, cleared his throat, whipped the dust, and sang sharply: "Hundreds of officials have a morning performance, but they have no book to retreat." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!"

A loud voice rang out.

The ministers all looked surprised, and they all turned their heads to look out, because the voice came from outside the hall.

This is interesting, generally speaking, most of the Beijing officials have the power to go to the court, but in the real sense, only these people in the palace are on the agenda, and this situation is a report to the higher level.

This has always been a taboo in officialdom, and the ministers can't help but be curious, which department the people come from, and most people have the mentality of eating melons.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Qizhen's eyes, and he bowed slightly towards Wang Zhen.

"Enter the temple and answer!" Wang Zhen sang loudly, his expression playful.

Shaoqing, a middle-aged man wearing a flying fish suit, mantis legs, and a horse's waist, strode into the main hall and came to the palace.

It is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Ma Shun!

How did he get here?

The ministers looked surprised.

The commander of Jinyiwei is naturally qualified to go to the court to face the saint, but this situation is very rare, because Jinyiwei is dedicated to serving the emperor, and he usually plays in private.

This kind of placement on the bright side, played in the court, has not been seen for a long time.

Could it be that something big happened at the border gate? The ministers speculated.

Zhu Qizhen was also very curious, "Ma Shun, what's going on?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Jinyiwei has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, and the ministers have found out that many officials have done illegal things!" Ma Shun said respectfully.

"Brush ——!"

The ministers' faces changed slightly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Ma Shun.

Then, he looked at Zhu Qizhen again, and then glanced at Wang Zhen.

Jinyiwei is under the jurisdiction of the East Factory, and the East Factory is a subordinate department of the celebrant supervisor, so it can be said that the current Jinyiwei is no longer as detached as when the Hongwu Dynasty was first established;

Completely became the lackey of the celebrant and worked hard for it!

The reason why Jinyiwei fell to Si was due to the Yongle Dynasty Jinyiwei's commander Ji Gang.

Ji Gang colluded with civil officials, so that Zhu Di no longer trusted Jinyiwei, and after the establishment of the East Factory, he let him govern Jinyiwei.

Later, Zhu Zhanji set up a celebrant eunuch, and the top boss of Jinyiwei became the eunuch of the celebrant and the seal of the eunuch.

But this does not mean that the imperial power is hollowed out, in fact, in terms of loyalty alone, the eunuch is also the most loyal group.

The moment they saw Zhu Qizhen's surprised expression, the ministers were sure that this was from Wang Zhen's handwriting.

One by one, I couldn't help but be angry in my heart: Damn, what does this eunuch think, he also sued the wicked first.

Everyone's buttocks are not clean, but this time it was obviously Wang Zhen's 'loss', and he didn't want him to shoot first.

And, as soon as it comes up, it's a killer move!

Isn't this the wicked suing first?

Zhu Qizhen also realized that something was unusual, and he quickly figured out the key, which was that Wang Zhen was forced to be in a hurry and was ready to strike first.

However, he didn't understand why Wang Zhen was suddenly so rigid.

The opportunity must not be missed, Zhu Qizhen put aside his doubts for the time being, and immediately said: "Although it is said, there is no need to scruple about anyone or anything involved." ”

"Obey." Ma Shun opened his mouth, "Liu Zhongcheng, the head of the household department, accepted bribes from the landlord of his hometown, concealed the number of acres of cultivated land for him, as well as the commercial taxes generated by restaurants and shops, and the evidence is conclusive;

The Thirteen Provinces of the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised the imperial history, among them, Jiang. West Road, River. South Road, Mountain. Dong...... all of them have accepted bribes and shielded local officials;

The invigilator of the Ministry of Rites was suspected of revealing the examination questions during the imperial examination last year, and he is strictly investigating;

Liu Hong, Tang Guang, and Song Zhishu, the directors of the Ministry of Labor, embezzled public funds and deducted the wages of shipwrights when casting treasure ships.

When the craftsmen begged for it, they ordered the officials to whip it, which seriously ruined the prestige of the court and disgraced the emperor. ”

Ma Shun's memory is limited, and he can't remember the back, so he directly fast-forwards to the end.

"Officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, workers, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple all have illegal deeds." Ma Shun said in a loud voice, "The minister is vigorously investigating, and what the minister has just done is corroborated by it." ”

"Bang ——!" Zhu Qizhen slapped the paperweight and was extremely angry, "What a gut! ”

Ma Shun arched his hand and said: "The minister implores the emperor to let the minister take the people involved in the case away so as to cooperate with the investigation." ”

"Quasi-play!" Zhu Qizhen said coldly, "Be fast, be strict, I will see the results within three days." ”

"Yes!"

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!"

'Plop ......! 'All the people involved in the case knelt down, and some things were okay if they were not investigated, but once they were put on the line, the killing of the head was light, after all, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, sixty taels of silver had to be peeled off the skin.

Chen Yi, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, came out of class, "Your Majesty, the Jinyi guards are used to bending into tricks, and it is not ruled out that they use torture for the sake of political achievements." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal." Wang Zuo, the head of the household department, said, "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to let the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple, and the three legal divisions try together, so as to ensure fairness and justice." ”

Then, Jin Lian, the current secretary of the Criminal Department, came out of the class and asked: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister suggested that this case be put together with Wang Zhen and handled together." ”

The threat is self-evident.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

…

The words of seconding the proposal are endless.

Zhu Qizhen frowned, he found that things were a little big.

Even, began to develop in an uncontrollable direction......
