Daming reckless man

Chapter 342 Showdown (Fifth Watch)
Chapter 342

Jiajing was very angry at the moment, and Zhou Yan also agreed very much, because hoarding salt touched the foundation of Daming. They wanted to mess up Daming, and the ministers of this court could not agree, and Jin Wang did it this time. It is indeed a bit too much.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach King Jin!" Zhou Yan stood there, attacking Jiajing.

"Impeachment now? Why did you go to the procuratorate? You are all on the side of the procuratorate, and you have neglected your duties. If Zhang Hao hadn't raided those salt merchants in Shanxi, I would have been in chaos within a month!" Jiajing shouted at Zhou Yan .

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will immediately conduct self-examination, and will start to impeach Jin Wang and the people of Jin Wang's family as soon as possible. What they do is simply insane!" Zhou Yan immediately cupped his hands and said, there is no way, they did not have the information before , so now they are scolded by Jiajing, they dare not say anything, after all, it is indeed wrong.

"You all have to thoroughly investigate this matter. No matter who is involved, you should be impeached. I don't want this kind of thing to happen again. If you don't give enough lessons, those people won't have a long memory!" Jiajing pointed at Zhou Yan and warned.

"Yes, Your Majesty, but there are many Lords in the lineage of King Jin. If we continue to investigate like this, I'm afraid there will be obstacles!" Zhou Yan immediately said to Jiajing.

"If there is any obstacle, we will investigate whoever dares to obstruct it!" Jiajing shouted at Zhou Yan.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yan wanted this sentence. Without this sentence, it would be difficult for them to investigate. Now that they have this sentence, they feel more at ease.

"It's unreasonable. If it wasn't for Zhang Hao, I wouldn't dare to think about it!" Jiajing said and sat down, touching his forehead, and Zhou Yan nodded in agreement. He didn't dare to think about it. There is no salt, this is terrible As for the matter, the common people have no food salt, and if they are instigated by others, they can immediately rebel against the Ming Dynasty.

"Why haven't you come yet!" Jiajing sat there waiting for a while, but still shouted angrily.

"Your Majesty's atonement, the slaves have already been notified, telling them that it is an urgent matter, they will definitely come here soon!" Lu Fang immediately said to Jiajing.

"The officials of the Six Ministries, as well as the cabinet officials, what do they think? Why do they want to impeach Zhang Hao? They don't know anything about what King Jin is doing!" Jiajing asked Zhou Yan.

"Well, it's Zhang Hao's fault if you say it. There is no news from Zhang Hao. If I hadn't sent a message to ask Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao would have no news!" Zhou Yan said to Jiajing, clasping his hands.

"Can you blame Zhang Hao? Zhang Hao has only been there for a few days. Look at what Zhang Hao wrote. How much has he done in the past few days? It takes a lot of energy to distribute the salt. He can imagine that the capital will impeach him." , and impeach him for framing!" Jiajing said to Zhou Yan, also defending Zhang Hao.

"Yes, yes, I can't blame Zhang Hao for this, and I really didn't think of it!" Zhou Yan nodded immediately and said, if he didn't understand Jiajing's words, then he didn't have to be the censor in front of the left.

"Zhang Hao made a huge contribution this time. The salt has already been sent out. According to what he said above, the salt will be sold in places that lack salt as soon as tomorrow. This time, the imperial guards and Jin Yiwei were used to escort the salt. It is very good to use extraordinary measures in extraordinary times, and it can make the people not disappointed in the court, which is very good!" Jiajing said to Zhou Yan.

"Yes!" Zhou Yan immediately clapped his hands and nodded in agreement.

At this time, in Xu Jie's mansion, after receiving the notice, Xu Jie immediately dared to come to Danfang. On the way, he met Yan Song.

"It's probably something about Shanxi. What Zhang Hao wrote is true. Does the emperor know? Have you shown it to the emperor?" Yan Song asked Xu Jie while he was on his way.

"I showed it to the emperor, but the emperor doesn't believe it very much. Now I have to wait for Zhang Hao's personal report. I don't know what happened now!" Xu Jie said in a lie. How much trouble will there be.

"That's it. The emperor will definitely send people to investigate, but maybe not so soon?" Yan Song asked Xu Jie.

"That's not clear. Could it be that Zhang Hao wrote the memorial and came back at this time?" Xu Jie asked Yan Song.

"It's possible. It's time for Zhang Hao to report at this time." When Yan Song heard it, he was right. Zhang Hao could write a memorial to Jiajing. At this time, Zhang Hao's memorial may have been in Jiajing's hands. If so, then It made sense, and soon they met Lu Ben again, the three of them didn't speak, and rushed to Danfang in a hurry, now it's to see what Jiajing will do,
At this time, they found that the king of Jin was also walking towards the alchemy room. The three of them looked at each other, and they were all sure that it was Shanxi's business. , hanging from a distance, they don't want to have too much talk with King Jin now,

After they arrived at the alchemy room, the eunuch immediately went to report, and then Lu Ben took Yan Song, Xu Jie, and the six ministers, or the left servant who was in charge, into the alchemy room.
When they got inside, they immediately saluted Jiajing. Jiajing was sitting on the altar and didn't speak. They just looked at Zhou Yan standing there. Now Zhou Yan is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but he is not yet the capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. , just served as the left deputy capital imperial envoy.

"Read it, read it!" Jiajing closed his eyes and pointed in Zhou Yan's direction, and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yan nodded, and Lu Fang took Zhang Hao's letter back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and handed it to Zhou Yan.Zhou Yan picked it up and began to read.

"To the left deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and all the censors, first of all, I received the inquiry letter from the Metropolitan Procuratorate today, and answered them one by one. First, this officer did not seize the property of the Shanxi salt merchants without authorization. I just arrived in Shanxi. Call those salt merchants to discuss the release of salt." Zhou Yan stood there and began to read,
According to Zhang Hao, after confiscating more than 400 million tons of salt, Jin Wang Zhu Xinlong has already sat on the ground softly.When the ministers heard it, they all looked at each other in shock, and then secretly looked at King Jin.

"Second, I confiscated the salt, and immediately let Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng start distributing the salt to all parts of the country. I am the commander of Jinyiwei. Through Jinyiwei, I know where and how much salt is lacking. I am the first The Jinyiwei was used for time, and the imperial guards began to transport the salt out. It is expected to reach all parts of the country as soon as this evening. It is not ruled out that there will be unexpected situations in the salt business.

Third, after the inspection, I have been investigating who organized it behind the scenes. As the commander of Jinyiwei, I have the right to investigate to repay the emperor's trust."

Zhou Yan was still reading there, but all the ministers knew that this time it was a frame-up, which was framed by the King of Jin against Zhang Hao. In order to revenge Zhang Hao, the King of Jin dared to let those salt merchants hoard salt. He did not expect that, Zhang Hao dared to ransack the house. Under normal circumstances, without enough evidence, the house cannot be ransacked, but Zhang Hao is an imperial envoy, so he can copy it first and then report it. If it is not copied, it will be troublesome.

After Zhou Yan finished reading Zhang Hao's reply letter, the whole alchemy room fell into silence.Zhou Yan saw that Jiajing didn't speak, so he said: "Chen Yu sent Zhang Hao an inquiry letter yesterday morning, asking Zhang Hao to answer the officials' impeachment of him. Unexpectedly, all of them were false, so I received Zhang Hao's letter of inquiry. After replying, report to the emperor as soon as possible!"

"What else do you have to say?" Jiajing sat there and asked, those ministers, no one spoke,

But King Jin spoke first: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know about this matter. I didn't expect that those salt merchants in Shanxi were so bold. They helped, so they found the ministers and asked them to impeach Zhang Hao, but the ministers did not expect that those salt merchants would ask the emperor to punish me after expiring my term like this!"

Jin Wang reacted quickly, and immediately pushed all the responsibilities to those salt merchants. He knew that Jiajing would definitely investigate the people behind him. In order to prevent Jiajing from continuing the investigation, he had to admit the impeachment of Zhang Hao. I made it myself.Jiajing ignored him, but looked at Xu Jie and the others.

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be investigated further to see who is behind the alliance with those salt merchants. If such a rebellious thing is done!" Yan Song said first,
He knew that if he didn't make a statement, Jiajing would not let him go this time, and he also impeached Zhang Hao. Just now the King of Jin said that he was the one who asked to impeach Zhang Hao, which means that the King of Jin had found him. , if he doesn't step on King Jin at this time, Jiajing will clean up himself tomorrow.

"Your majesty, I also mean the same thing. We need to investigate clearly. This time Zhang Hao has made a great contribution!" Lu Ben also said immediately, and now he can only continue to investigate.

"Your majesty, I also agree to investigate. If we don't investigate, Zhang Hao will be really wronged this time. He has made great contributions in Shanxi. Unexpectedly, those ministers in the court not only refused to help, but also stabbed knives in the back. If you don't continue the investigation, who will dare to take things seriously when you go out to work outside?" Xu Jie also said, clasping his hands.

"En!" Jiajing hummed, and then looked at King Jin.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I shouldn't believe the words of those salt merchants, I really can't believe what the merchants say, I'm wrong, please forgive me!" King Jin kowtowed immediately.

"It's that simple?" Jiajing asked King Jin. When King Jin heard this, he trembled all over. This is the capital city, not Shanxi. Jiajing can do whatever he wants with him.
