high official

Chapter 796 Strengths
"I ask you," Zhu Di looked past Jian Yi, looked at the rain curtain outside the hall, and asked quietly, "Before the king of Han made trouble, did you see any signs?"

"Back to the emperor," Jian Yi lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "No abnormality was found..."

"No?" Zhu Di glanced at Jian Yi, and said coldly, "Will there be no warning for such a big thing as his rebellion?"

"Maybe there is, but as my minister, Yu Lu, I haven't found out." Jian Yi whispered.

"Huh!" Zhu Di snorted coldly, turned his head to look at Yang Shiqi, and asked the same question: "You didn't notice any signs either?"

"Go back to the emperor." Yang Shiqi straightened his waist and said in a deep voice: "There are still some signs."

"What's the sign?"

"Before, in March and April, the King of Han expanded the Tiance Guard privately, adding two guards on the left and right, totaling more than [-] people, wantonly extorting military salaries, and even robbing the Ministry of War supplies. At that time, the ministers and others jointly signed a letter, asking the emperor to punish them severely." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice: "But after repeated memorials, it's like a mud cow sinking into the sea, and there is no news!"

"Really?" Zhu Di frowned, coughed and said, "I don't remember."

"Perhaps someone from the Department of General Affairs concealed the memorial on purpose," Jian Yi said from the sidelines.

"Well, this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated." Zhu Di said something perfunctory, and then asked again: "Is there anything else?"

"Also, at the end of August and the beginning of September, the King of Han and a group of cronies frequently hosted banquets for honorable generals," Yang Shiqi continued, "Although the contents of the banquets are unknown, I heard rumors at the time that they were plotting some shady things. !” He said with a distressed face: “At that time, Weichen ordered people to check the entry and exit records of various gates in the capital, and found that Tiance Sanwei, Song Hu, Li Maofang, Xu Cheng and other ministries were mobilized extremely frequently, and the supplies were completely in accordance with the war plan. At that time, the minister was so worried that he made ten memorials in three days..." He sighed heartbrokenly: "In the end, nothing happened..."

"Oh..." Zhu Di didn't even bother to argue this time. He lowered his eyelids and remained silent for a while. The two ministers also held their breath and stayed silent with him.

A needle could be heard inside the hall, and the sound of wind and rain outside the hall became even louder.

"As for..." After a long silence, Zhu Di finally spoke again, looked at the two ministers and asked, "What do you think of the King of Han's madness?"

"This..." The two ministers clearly saw the slightest expectation in the emperor's eyes, even begging.

"Your Majesty, I'm not a doctor." Yang Shiqi said softly, "The King of Han's condition should be concluded after consultation with the imperial physician."

"What Shi Qi said is very true, and the ministers dare not speak in vain." Jian Yi also echoed.

"But it doesn't matter." Zhu Di was unmoved and said, "Zheng He and the others have asked the imperial doctor to see him..." He said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "It is hysteria, but I think he is hysteria." Pretend!"

"Your majesty..." Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi raised their heads in horror and looked at Zhu Di with a strange expression. They were a little confused at first, but then they realized that the reason why the emperor said this was to block their way first... The two could not answer , 'Yes, we also think it's an act! 'That is the emperor's most beloved son, and he is also the emperor's son if he commits a crime.

So the two could only say: "Looking at the King of Han's performance, he is indeed seriously ill, maybe it's not just pretending..."

"Humph!" Sure enough, Zhu Di got off the donkey right away, and said coldly, "I hope he is really sick, otherwise I will have to kill him!"

"Yes..." Jian Yi sighed inwardly, and Jin Youzi did the talking, the emperor wanted wholeheartedly to put the hat of insanity on King Han's head...

.

At the same time Jian Yi and Yang Shiqi met Sheng, Jin Youzi also met Yang Rong.

At the same time that Yang Rong boarded Yang Shiqi's carriage, Jin Youzi also boarded Jian Yi's carriage, both being the mainstay of the civil official group, and the conversations in the two carriages were roughly the same.

Jin Youzi told Jian Yi that the emperor's holy will has been decided, that is, to reduce the guilt of the King of Han.At a time like this, confronting the emperor forcibly will not only fail to achieve the goal, but will be counterproductive.It would be better to follow the emperor and protect the king of Han... But someone must be responsible for this great rebellion that has devastated the capital and killed [-] people, right?Han Wang is not responsible, who is responsible?
Of course it was Ji Gang and those generals!At that time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Dali Temple will all be launched together, and the power of the Xungui Group will definitely be wiped out in sevens and eighties, and it will continue to emerge in an endless stream, until these decadent and violent idiots are completely swept out of the stage of history .

This is the plan of Yang Rong, Jin Youzi and the others. Although it is the first time for civil servants to do this kind of thing, they have experienced the three major Hongwu cases. They have seen how Ji Gang and Chen Ying handled cases. They have never eaten pork before. Pig running, clutter climbing, this kind of unskilled business, it's not bad to learn from it.

"How is it?" Yang Rong brewed a pot of hot tea, poured a cup for Jin Youzi, and asked slowly, "Is Old Shangshu still cooperative?"

"Cooperate, the old man is old and his brain is useless, so he can only obey us..." Jin Youzi held the teacup, blew off the foam, looked at the tea stems floating on the tea soup, and said with a smile: "You are also Tangtangge is old, and he still drinks this rough tea."

"Hehe," Yang Rong said with a smile: "The capital is expensive, and it's not easy to live in for a long time. With the little salary of the court, it's good to be able to support yourself." He said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have tea."

"Hey, your position as an official is too poor." Jin Youzi sighed, with Yang Rong's current power and position, not to mention engaging in illegal activities, as long as he relaxes his pen a little, he can make a reasonable and legal daily fortune.But Yang Rong never did that. He would rather cling to poverty than defile his noble soul.

"You are not the same," Yang Rong smiled and glanced at Jin Youzi, "On the boat, I saw that the quilt you covered was bright on the outside, but it was patched on the inside."

"Hey..." Jin Youzi smiled and said, "I want face and not face." He raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "As long as we want, mountains of gold and silver can also be called, but we earn a mountain of gold, Daming Losing ten or even dozens of gold mountains, this kind of detriment to the public and private interests, I have done it once, what is it?!"

"Well said, but it's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise it would be a big deal." Yang Rong smiled, picked up the teacup and said, "I'll replace the bar with tea."

"Okay!" Jin Youzi brightened his eyes, drank a cup of 'tea wine' with Yang Rong, put down the teacup, and exhaled hot air: "It's so hot..."

"Haha, you, you." Yang Rong pointed at Jin Youzi and laughed.Most of these civil servants were born at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the country. They experienced wars and sufferings in their childhood. They also experienced the glorious moment when the Ming Dynasty expelled the Tartars and restored China when they were growing up. It is the loyalty to Daming, the dedication to peace, and the fanaticism that makes this country long-term peace and stability, and never war!

So they have a Puritan-like noble sentiment.People with the same sentiments will naturally gather together to form the so-called Qingliu.They are naturally incompatible with the "turbid current" formed by those corrupt officials and military generals. They believe that they must be completely eliminated in order to realize their ultimate ideal of building Daming into a kingly paradise!
Such people include Xie Jin, Zhou Xin, Huang Huai, Yang Pu, and many, many... Many people have died, and many people have been thrown into prison.Yang Rong and Jin Youzi just happened not to die, nor were they imprisoned, and they were still in important positions. They naturally had to bear the expectations of their colleagues in Qingliu. As long as they were still in office for one day, they would continue to fight the enemy!
"Where is Brother Shiqi?" It was Jin Youzi's turn to ask Yang Rong. Of course, Yang Shiqi is also a Qingliu, and he is also a cabinet minister with the two of them. He has a close relationship, but his personality is too strong. Both of them are worried that he will disagree with this time. 'Don't ask the culprit, only get rid of the slaves' plan.

"Brother Shiqi's reaction was not small," Yang Rong said slowly, "but in the end he agreed."

"That's good!" Jin Youzi was relieved, and said with a smile, "Brother Shi Qi still understands the general situation and takes care of the overall situation!"

"Yeah." Yang Rong nodded, looking out of the window with a hint of worry.

.

The rain kept falling, with no intention of stopping. His Highness the King of Han outside the dormitory knelt motionless in the rain, like a stone sculpture, letting the rain wash away.

In the dormitory, the playing is still going on...

"So," Zhu Di looked at Jian Yi, his eyes softened a lot, and he said slowly, "Do you think the King of Han is hysterical?"

"Yes." Jian Yi nodded, he suddenly felt a fever in his ears, how could this be fair, those soldiers of the prince's army who were desperately protecting him... But after thinking about it, it's actually nothing, it's the same for him to kill a few more noble generals To avenge them.

Thinking about it this way, Jian Yi felt much more comfortable, and calmly said to Zhu Di: "The old minister thought that what the King of Han did was really like hysteria."

Zhu Di nodded incredulously, turned his gaze to Yang Shiqi, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think?" After finishing speaking, Zhu Di stared at Yang Shiqi, as long as Yang Shiqi said yes, and then called the prince to express his opinion, I believe that it won't take long for my attitude to spread throughout the capital, and those ministers who are used to following the trend will surely shut up!
Even so, it really took advantage of Zhu Gaoxu's evil!But the emperor's honorable name cannot be tarnished, that's all he can do...

Zhu Di's thoughts turned, and he looked at Yang Shiqi, but saw that he was silent for a long time.

"Why?" Zhu Di frowned displeasedly, and his voice turned cold: "Do you have a different opinion?"

"Back to the emperor, I still say the same thing, the King of Han has no hysteria, it's useless if I say it, I have to listen to the doctor." Yang Shiqi said in a deep voice: "However, I think that the king of Han has no hysteria, and his guilt has nothing to do with it." Nothing to do with it!"

Zhu Di's expression became even colder, and he shouted sharply, "What do you mean?!"

"My minister's meaning is very simple." Yang Shiqi faced Zhu Di without fear, and said the most obvious truth: "The illness of the King of Han occurred after the war! In the pre-war battle, there is sufficient evidence to prove that His sanity is normal!"
