Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"Suspect?"

Li Jinglong glared angrily.

On the side, Guo An sneered and bowed his hands towards Zhu Di.

"Your Majesty, I remember that the thief Chen Ying has been saying that the remnants of the thieves pretending to be the children of the Chen family that Cao Guogong killed in Annan were the real children of the Chen family. It was Cao Guogong who deliberately set up a trap. We want to kill the Chen family’s descendants.

Even a few days ago, I insisted that it was Wei Chen who was in cahoots with Cao Guogong..."

"And now, Chen Ying, the thief, actually said that he was suspicious and did not draw a conclusion! Your Majesty, Chen Ying, the thief official, is the censor of Youdu. Your Majesty's most trusted official, he actually made such nonsense?

If Cao Guogong and the ministers are not nobles of the Ming Dynasty, then his suspicion will make some of the officials who have contributed to the Ming Dynasty suffer unjust injustice!

Even some heroes were accidentally killed..."

"Your Majesty, this thief is the censor of Youdu. In vain for your majesty's trust, he uses vicious words to attack and frame our Ming Dynasty heroes. In order to convict him with his words, Dinghaihou, a humble minister, kindly asks your majesty to send the royal guards to thoroughly investigate this thief. !

Presumably, there must have been more such false accusations before Chen Ying became the thief! "

"Ok?"

Zhu Di narrowed his expression and stared at Chen Ying closely.

"Your Majesty is clear!"

Chen Ying was immediately shocked, "Wei Chen has always worked conscientiously and has never framed any official!"

"is it?"

Guo An sneered, "Then why are you so aggrieved, instead of imitating me and asking your majesty to send the royal guards to investigate thoroughly and clear your name?"

"Why is Marquis Dinghai so aggressive?"

Chen Ying took a deep breath and said: "As a censor, I am just being reported and have normal suspicion!"

Guo An asked with a sneer: "Who reported it? Since there was a report, why didn't you, a thief like you, explain it to His Majesty and ask His Majesty to send Yousi to investigate?

But you keep talking about unfounded suspicions? Speculation?

Or is it that you, a thief, fabricated your report out of thin air? "

Chen Ying was startled, glanced at Guo An, and quickly saluted Zhu Di above.

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is really unjust. Wei Chen is doing all this for the sake of Ming Dynasty's reputation!"

Guo Ancai didn't let go and asked directly: "Chen Ying, don't make any excuses. Where is the report you received? Take it out. If you can't take it out, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

Chen Ying's expression changed slightly, but she still ignored Guo An.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. Although Marquis Dinghai has contributed to the Ming Dynasty, he is also the royal censor of the right capital. You can't humiliate and retaliate against him just because he denies his enthronement, even in front of your majesty. Face, beat up the minister!"

Guo An snorted coldly, "Why do you want to change the subject? Where is the evidence of the report you just mentioned?"

Chen Ying turned a deaf ear.

At this time, everyone in the entire hall felt something was wrong.

Guo An bowed his hands to Zhu Di again and saluted, "Please make the decision for your Majesty, please send a guard in royal robes to investigate this thief strictly.

This thief not only falsely accused Wei Chen and Cao Guogong of killing the remnants of the thieves in Annan!

They even sent servants to spread rumors around the capital. If it doesn't snow this year, it might be a drought next year. It's because the ministers killed too many people in Annan, which hurt the peace of the world! "

"You bullshit!"

Chen Ying couldn't hold it in any longer and hurriedly defended, "As a royal censor of Youdu, I am an upright person. How could I do such a despicable thing?"

"is it?"

Guo An looked contemptuous, "Isn't it you who framed me and Duke Cao?"

"The most important thing is that this rumor only spread in the villages around the capital half a month ago, and it only reached the capital in the past two days.

How would you have known about this rumor if it hadn't been spread by a thief like you?

Ask the cabinet ministers and the six ministers on the side, have they heard this rumor in the past few days? "

Chen Ying was startled.

He was the one who spread this rumor, and he knew the progress of these rumors.

"Have you heard this rumor?"

Zhu Di had already looked at the courtiers.

"Replying to Your Majesty, I didn't hear it!"

"Your Majesty, I have been busy with government affairs and have not heard this rumor!"

"Your Majesty, none of the ministers..."

Bao Zhao, Yu Xin and other important ministers thought for a moment and shook their heads slightly.

Chen Ying hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is unjust! Wei Chen is the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the emperor's eyes and ears. He is mainly responsible for picketing and impeaching officials and defending those who have been wronged...

Therefore, ministers should pay more attention to listening to the voices of the court and the people! "

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and looked at Guo An again. Guo An had a firm look on his face, "Your Majesty, you also know that although I don't make friends with others, I am in charge of the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce and Jiangjunshan Workshop, so I am the best informed about the market news.

After Wei Chen learned about it, he sent someone to investigate, and found out that the rumor was spread by the thief Chen Ying...

Wei Chen really didn't know how he provoked this thief. He not only spread rumors to slander Wei Chen, but also framed Wei Chen in front of His Majesty and other courtiers!

I sincerely request your Majesty to send out the Royal Guards to thoroughly investigate this thief!

Seeing that the thief Chen Ying is so afraid of the Jin Yiwei, the thief Chen Ying must often frame innocent people! "

Chen Ying looked aggrieved and said, "Your Majesty clearly knows that Jinyiwei's governor Wang Zhen has a close relationship with Dinghaihou, and Jinyiwei is the best at soliciting accusations and framing loyal ministers.

It's not that Wei Chen doesn't want His Majesty to investigate Wei Chen thoroughly, he's just worried that Wei Chen will be framed! "

"This……"

Zhu Di was also a little embarrassed by such a disturbance.

On the side, Zheng Yi, the Minister of Rites, saw this and quickly said: "Your Majesty, this is a minor matter and can be thoroughly investigated in the future.

The most important thing today is Annan's matter! "

"Exactly!"

Bao Zhao, the Minister of Personnel, Yu Xin, the Minister of Hubu, and others also nodded.

Although Chen Ying hated Guo An deeply, she nodded quickly, for fear that Zhu Di and Guo An would still hold on to this matter!

Zhu Di nodded slightly and asked, "Tell me, how should the Annan matter be decided?"

Bao Zhao, Zheng Yi and others took a look at each other and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, since the elders of Annan have jointly requested to join the Ming Dynasty, it is appropriate to comply with the wishes of the people of Annan and include Annan in the territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Exactly, Your Majesty, it is a blessing for the people of Annan that I, the Ming Dynasty officials, will manage Annan!"

"The humble minister agrees that your Majesty should comply with God's will and respond to the wishes of the people of Annan..."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he looked at Li Jinglong and Guo An again.

"What suggestions do Duke Cao Guo and Marquis Dinghai have on this matter?"

Li Jinglong quickly raised his hands and saluted, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Annan was conquered by our Ming Dynasty. It should be included in our territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

Guo An also said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the Annan people have long been beaten by my army to conquer the barbarians. In addition, after the thieves successfully conspired to rebel, they treated the Annan people harshly. This time, those Annan people have sincerely surrendered to our Ming Dynasty." .

Even if they have rebellious intentions in the future, I, Ming, can beat them into submission again! "

Bao Zhao, Zheng Yi and others couldn't help but look surprised.

Zhu Di nodded with satisfaction, "In this case, I will comply with God's will and allow Annan to join my Ming Dynasty and become the inner county of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

All the courtiers looked happy and congratulated quickly.

Setting Annan as an inner county of the Ming Dynasty was the real territory of the Ming Dynasty, far beyond the vassal states of Goryeo, Yan and Japan!

"Annan was renamed Jiaozhi, and three divisions and fifteen prefectures were established, which governed thirty-six prefectures and one hundred and eighty-one counties... The kings of the Chen family were given posthumous titles by the murderers, built temples and maintained tombs, and appeased the two families in Annan. More than a million people..."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty the Holy Ming..."

immediately.

Zhu Di asked the cabinet to discuss with the six ministries which officials should be sent to Annan!

Or maybe we should send those military attaches to Annan...

As for the matter between Dinghaihou and Chen Ying, everyone simply forgot about it.

However, as the parties involved, Guo An and Li Jinglong will never forget it.

After leaving the palace, he sent people directly to keep a close eye on Chen Ying, the censor of Youdu.

Although he kicked Chen Ying in anger and was not punished by His Majesty, it does not mean that Chen Ying has no power.

in contrast.

As the censor of Youdu, Chen Ying is also a powerful figure in the capital that no one dares to offend!

Unfortunately, he did not expect that the always gentle Marquis Dinghai would dare to beat Zhu Di and do such rude things in front of Zhu Di and other courtiers!

However, Dinghaihou Guo An's ability to talk nonsense was so powerful that Chen Ying did not dare to say anything during the court discussion.

However, his heart was already burning with anger, and he wanted to cut Guo An into pieces with thousands of knives.

"Guo thief dares to humiliate me like this. I will definitely give you a bad death. Even if His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince trust you, I will not let you go..."

After leaving the palace, Chen Ying went home with a gloomy look.

At the same time, find a few confidants!
