Wanli 1592

Chapter 668 A Terrible Storm Is Brewing
Looking at the back of Shen Yiguan and others leaving, Shen Li's eyes could not conceal the sadness and loss. He never thought that he had experienced ups and downs in the officialdom all his life, but encountered such things in the position of minister in the cabinet. How ridiculous!
Now he has been pushed out by Shen Yiguan. Xu Zuo is the censor of the capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the base camp, but as a cabinet minister, if he does not have the support of the six ministries, where will the power come from?
Isn't he the next Zhao Zhigao?
But what else can I do?

Shen Li had no choice.

In the palace, Zhu Yijun has been looking forward to the arrival of Shen Yiguan for a long time. He has already written the written instructions on the report about Jingcha and stamped it with his seal. Since he took office, he has never given such serious approval playing table.

This memorandum really placed too many expectations on him.

Shen Yiguan, as the second assistant of the cabinet, is also the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet that he is optimistic about. He actually offered himself an olive branch and asked himself to assist in dealing with the issue of Shanxi merchants. He hasn't received an olive branch from the cabinet for a long time.

Compared with Shen Li who disappointed Zhu Yijun so much, this Shen Yiguan who Zhao Zhigao commented as a villain is the one Zhu Yijun needs.

The ups and downs of political struggles, the participants are no longer simply distinguishable from the upright and the villainous.

The people in the situation can only be distinguished in another way, which is the way that can be used and must be hostile. Zhu Yijun doesn't care whether Shen Yiguan is evil or not, at least Shen Yiguan can be used, and the "righteous gentleman" Shen But the carp cannot be used by him.

That's fine, Shen Yiguan is selected, Shen Li loses power, this is the best ending.

Shen has always lived up to his expectations, keenly grasped the peace message from the emperor, and quickly signed an offensive and defensive alliance with the emperor.

He said that he was willing to join hands with the emperor to suppress those shameless moral masters, hoping to gain the emperor's trust and help, to reach a compromise with the emperor on certain matters, to face the officials with the emperor's back, and so on.

This time, the emperor was invited to participate in the overthrow of Shanxi merchants, and everyone shared the spoils together.

Zhu Yijun was very happy, and immediately promised to join forces with Shen Yiguan, and decided to see Shen Yiguan's performance and operation this time to decide whether to hand over the position of chief assistant to Shen Yiguan in advance.

Of course, Shen Yiguan understood what the emperor meant, not just for the title of Chief Assistant, but even for his own power and ambition. The establishment of a consistent cabinet has laid a solid foundation.

The two hit it off.

So Shen Yiguan asked to see him, and Zhu Yijun immediately announced the meeting.

This is also how Yu Jideng and Cai Guozhen saw the emperor again after an unknown period of time, and they were quite excited.

"What's the matter, Zhu Qing? See me together, could something serious happen?"

Zhu Yijun felt that he had to do enough tricks in acting, and he couldn't tell others that it was acting, so his attitude was still as yin and yang as before.

Then Shen Yiguan presented the military report to Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, I have a memorial for your majesty to read."

Zhu Yijun had already had a more complete and complete version of the castrated version of the information provided by Xiao Ruxun, and he had seen the castrated version, but right now, he still had to act.

Zhu Yijun skillfully let the ministers see what the fury of thunder is.

After a while, the things on Zhu Yijun's table were basically destroyed. They were either broken to the ground or thrown out. I don't know if they hit some unlucky little servants.

"Your Majesty, please appease the fury of Thunder!"

When Zhu Yijun's acting was almost done, Shen Yiguan immediately followed up to play for Zhu Yijun.

"Your Majesty, please appease the fury of Thunder!"

All the ministers followed immediately, regardless of whether the emperor was acting or not, everyone had to play for the emperor, so as not to embarrass the emperor.

"These bastards, is this how these bastards repay the country's favor?! One or two merchants, for a little money, dared to let a hundred thousand northern captives wreak havoc on the country! Is this world my world or the world of these merchants? ?!"

Zhu Yijun is not only acting but also expressing his true inner emotions, so the acting is quite realistic, with almost no trace of acting, a proper actor-level performance.

Shen Yiguan immediately straightened up and said to Zhu Yijun: "Your Majesty's words are taken seriously by the minister. The merchants in Jin have repeatedly done things that are against nature and reason. Huge profits, and no one knew about it for decades, and it was hidden from the entire imperial court, and someone among them must have covered it up!"

Zhu Yijun gasped and asked, "Who?"

"It's not clear yet, so, the old minister, please take the opportunity of the Beijing inspection to thoroughly investigate this matter. The old minister will find out for your majesty who is covering up these shameful scandals. Once found out, immediately Report to His Majesty, we will never tolerate these people, and investigate to the end!"

Zhu Yijun pointed at Shen Yiguan and nodded.

"Quite! You are allowed to investigate! Mr. Shen Ge, I leave this matter to you to investigate! If you find out one, I will handle it, and if you find out, I will handle it! If any criminal is found, he will be an accomplice! Immediately Strict interrogation in prison! Song Yingchang! Cai Guozhen!"

Song Yingchang and Cai Guozhen agreed together: "The veteran is here!"

"Cai Guozhen, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Song Yingchang, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. I order you two to be the assistants of Mr. Shen Ge and assist Mr. Shen Ge to conduct a thorough investigation of this matter! Never tolerate one person! Otherwise, I will only ask you !"

"Old minister obeys!"

Song Yingchang and Cai Guozhen took on this mission.

Zhu Yijun immediately sent someone to fetch the previous Jingcha Memorial, took a ink brush and wrote it pretendingly in front of these ministers, and then handed it over to Shen Yiguan.

"Old Shen Ge, I will leave this matter to you, don't let me down."

Zhu Yijun stared at Shen Yiguan.

This is not acting, this is the emperor's consistent inspection of Shen, this is the emperor's consistent inspection of Shen!

This is Shen's usual first assistant promotion exam.

Shen Yiguan lowered his head and took the memorial with both hands.

"The old minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"

Shen consistently made his own statement.

As a result, a big storm that swept across the entire 26th year of Wanli began to brew rapidly.

Clouds invisible to ordinary people gradually gathered in the sky above the capital, and a terrible storm was brewing in the clouds.

At the same time, over the city of Bago, far away in Myanmar, there were also overcast clouds.

On this day, as soon as the gate of Bagu City was opened, a knight galloped into the city at the fastest speed, arrived at Zhennan Hou Mansion, and handed over a very important emergency military document to Yuan Huang who was staying in Burma.
