Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 588 Raising troops to prosecute?

Of course, it may also be because of what Guo An said just now: civil servants teamed up to bully Wu Xun, which made Bao Zhao, Yang Jing and others feel a little guilty in their hearts!

It seems that what Chen Ying did is really like this!

Zhu Di had already commanded in a deep voice: "Yi Shiha, please send an order to the Jin Yiwei to investigate the arson case in the residence of Chen Ying, the censor of Youdu, within two days!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Yi Shiha responded hurriedly and walked out quickly.

Zhu Di looked at Bao Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and said, "Have the officials of the Ministry of Personnel, the Third Division of Jiaozhi, and the Fifteenth Prefecture decided on the candidates?"

Bao Zhao quickly raised his hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. The three divisions, fifteen prefectures, thirty-six prefectures, and one hundred and eighty-one counties of Jiaozhi need many officials. All my colleagues in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are still carefully selecting officials!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said: "We heard that many gentlemen want to go to Cochin to become officials.

You must strictly guard this matter. Jiaozhi has been included in the territory of our Ming Dynasty for the first time, and the people of Jiaozhi have not yet belonged to our Ming Dynasty.

If people with bad moral character are allowed to go to Jiaozhi to serve as parents' officials, it will easily provoke rebellion. This will not only harm those officials, but also many Jiaozhi people and our Ming Dynasty soldiers and generals! "

Bao Zhao looked solemn and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the ministers will definitely work with the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Hanlin Academy, and other colleagues to allocate officials!"

"We can rest assured that Bao Qing's family is talented!"

Zhu Di nodded with great satisfaction.

Afterwards, Zhu Di gave some more instructions before waving his hands for the ministers to leave.

"Marquis Dinghai stays!"

Guo An was just about to leave with the group of people, but Zhu Di's voice came from behind him.

"His Majesty!"

Guo An turned around and returned, bowing his hands respectfully to Zhu Di.

Zhu Di stared at Guo An quietly for a long time and asked directly: "Who burned down Chen Ying's bedroom?"

"This one……"

Guo An looked embarrassed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know this!"

Zhu Di asked directly: "Guess who set the fire?"

"His Majesty……"

Guo An smiled bitterly and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I guess it may be Duke Cao!"

"Jiujiang?"

Zhu Di frowned, "How can Jiujiang be so courageous?"

As he said that, Zhu Di thought of something, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Guo An.

"Did you instigate it?"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Guo An's expression suddenly changed and he was full of grievances.

"Wei Chen has no grudge against Cao Guogong, so how could he instigate him to do such a serious thing?"

Zhu Di asked: "Then why did you guess it was Jiujiang?"

Guo An looked like an honest man and replied respectfully: "Reporting to your Majesty, because in the entire capital, the nobles Chen Ying has provoked, apart from the humble ministers, are Cao Guogong.

Since Wei Chen didn't send anyone, only Cao Guogong was left. Of course, it might also be the enemies Chen Ying had provoked before.

However, this matter is just a speculation by a minor official, and there is no solid evidence. If your guess is wrong, please don't blame your Majesty. "

"No solid evidence?"

Zhu Di's expression was a little weird, "Then you still guess it's Li Jinglong?"

Guo An replied honestly: "Your Majesty asks a question, I dare not not tell the truth!"

"Furthermore, Wei Chen is also very grateful to the person behind Chen Ying's bedroom. That person finally let out a sigh of relief for Wei Chen and the general of the Ming Dynasty.

It's a pity that the thief Chen Ying was not burned to death! "

"Do you hate Chen Ying so much?"

Zhu Di asked curiously.

Guo An was immediately filled with indignation.

"Your Majesty, Chen Ying is the person Wei Chen hates the most in recent years. Although he is a civil servant, and Wei Chen is a military commander, in the court on weekdays, he doesn't like the civil servants and wants to suppress them. Wei Chen also understand.

After all, for the benefit of civil servants, it is normal for them to suppress ministers and other military nobles.

However, in the face of barbarians like Annan, they actually used this to suppress Wei Chen and other military heroes?

Wei Chen doesn’t understand? …”

"Don't they know how many official positions they can bring to their civil servants after capturing Annan? If Annan's money is earned, how many year-end bonuses can be given to these officials?

Even how much wealth did they bring to the family behind them? "

"Why do they suppress civil servants and other military heroes like this, or do they suppress them based on baseless speculation?

Such harm to others and no benefit to oneself reminded me of those scholar-bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty, who were mediocre and incompetent, but as stupid as dogs.

To the outside world, he is obedient, as obedient as if he were facing his ancestors, but inside he is punching hard, as if he is facing the enemy who killed his father... He is ignorant, greedy and cunning, and fails to succeed but fails to succeed! ” ˆ ˆ Zhu Di: “…”

He seemed to understand something.

At this time, Guo An seemed to react and quickly saluted Zhu Di.

"I was blinded by anger and lost my mind in front of Your Majesty. Please forgive me!"

"It's good to have dementia!"

Zhu Di smiled slightly, "Since we came to the throne, no one has ever spoken such truth in front of us!"

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, I forgive you. I just can't deceive Your Majesty!"

"We know!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Don't worry, we will not let Guo Qing be wronged! Let alone the soldiers and generals who fought for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Guo An looked overjoyed.

After Guo An left, Zhu Di shouted to the eunuch on the side.

"Go and call Duke Cao to the palace!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Half an hour later, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong followed a eunuch and cautiously walked into Fengtian Hall.

After a while, there was a burst of angry scolding in the hall.

A quarter of an hour later.

Li Jinglong walked out of the palace with his head drooped and an angry look on his face, and went straight to Dinghaihou Mansion.

"Where is Guo An?"

After walking into the door, Li Jinglong opened his eyes and angrily questioned Xu Yong beside him, very angry.

Xu Yong hurriedly replied: "My lord, the Marquis has prepared good wine and food in the main hall, waiting for you!"

"Good wine and good food?"

Li Jinglong was stunned for a moment, and then became even more angry, "Guo An actually has the nerve to enjoy it at home?"

Xu Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Master, don't be impatient. The Marquis has said that he will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation!"

"Explanation? Where did he get his face..."

With a very angry scolding, Li Jinglong angrily walked inside.

really.

In the main hall, there was already a group of people from the Guo Mansion, carrying various delicacies to a table.

Guo An, on the other hand, was lying on a chair next to him with a leisurely expression.

Seeing Li Jinglong come in, Guo An stood up quickly with a smile on his face.

"Brother Li is here. Are you tired from walking? Come in and sit down and have a rest. Are you thirsty? We have just warmed wine and various hot drinks!"

"Humph!"

Li Jinglong snorted coldly and did not sit down, but stared at Guo An closely.

Guo An waved his hand towards Guo Ang who was standing aside, and Guo Ang quickly walked down with several servants and maids.

At this time, Guo Ancai continued to speak: "Brother Li, I did something wrong in this matter, but it happened for a reason...Brother Li, sit down first, and we will slowly enjoy the food and wine. While eating, I will give it to you." Talk about it carefully.

But don’t worry, Brother Li, this matter will definitely be beneficial and harmless to you! "

"Is it beneficial or harmless?"

Li Jinglong, who had a somewhat relaxed expression at first, laughed angrily at this sentence.

He sat directly on the chair and stared at Guo An.

"We would like to hear that while you, Marquis Dinghai, encouraged me to take care of Chen Ying, you also complained to His Majesty. In the end, it was for our own good?"

Guo An couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with a helpless smile: "Brother Li, I encouraged you to deal with Chen Ying. It's true, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless and directly kill Chen Ying!

However, no matter how big of a mistake Chen Ying made, she was still the imperial censor of the right capital and a high official in the imperial court.

If he offended me and Xunxun, it would be fine for us to break his legs, but we cannot kill anyone.

The bedroom was set on fire in the dark night, and I was filled with passion as I listened to it, admiring Brother Li endlessly.

But thinking about it, I feel a little scared. If this person is buried in the fire, it would be better if His Majesty does not find him out. If he is found out, even if Brother Li is the Duke of Cao, it will be a serious crime. "

"Originally, I wanted Brother Li to plead guilty to His Majesty in person, but before I could, I was summoned to the palace by His Majesty.

In the palace, I kicked Chen Ying's dog thief again, and after scolding him, Your Majesty will send the Jin Yiwei to conduct a thorough investigation...

Brother Li, although you are secretive, can you withstand the inspection of Jinyi Guards? "

Li Jinglong couldn't help but froze. How could he withstand the inspection by the Jinyi guards?
