Yue Su and Jiang Jie have known each other for many years, and they understand each other instantly when they talk. After Jiang Jie finished speaking, Yue Su understood all the meaning behind the words. He nodded with a smile and said: "Sir, what you said is exactly what I said.

I just want to take advantage of this case to give a warning to those corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty."

After finishing speaking, Yue Su looked at Wu Sinan and said: "Taixie, I will leave for Beijing tomorrow. Your contribution this time is not small. When I return to Beijing, I will report your achievements to Your Majesty. Please be kind to Your Majesty."

Reward."

"Thank you for your cultivation..." Wu Sinan quickly stood up and bowed to thank him.

Early the next morning, Yue Su returned to Beijing and announced that the case would be heard publicly at the Ministry of Justice. Most of Zhangjiakou's generals were involved in the case, but this was a border fortress and Yue Su could not take people away, so he only took the confession and returned to Beijing.

Su did not ask Wu Sinan to follow him to Beijing. He only asked him to write a memorial about the case and record a confession. Yue Su also wrote a memorial, stating that he would return to Beijing to review the case in detail. The two memorials were given first.

He was sent to the capital in one swift step.

The memorial was sent to the capital as early as possible and was immediately sent to the cabinet. The cabinet ministers had to read it first. After reading it, everyone was shocked. But in addition to being surprised, everyone also had different ideas.

Let’s talk about why we are surprised first. Everyone knows that this case not only involves other officials, but also officials from his party. Yue Su does not really intend to kill his own party members as well.

Then let’s talk about the thoughts in the minds of the cabinet ministers. The first minister, Han Xu, was secretly happy. Yue Su’s doing this was really beneficial to him. The current cabinet is just a decoration. The cabinet ministers are either Yue’s party or the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.

, and Yue Su is the minister of Tuogu. As the chief and assistant, he can't do anything. The officials of the Donglin Party below have no high-ranking officials. They are either talking heads or playing side roles. One or two have some real power and rank.

It’s not very high. And once this case is heard in public, Yue Su can’t protect his own members. He has to treat everyone equally and convict according to the law. It can be said that no matter who he is, the crime of accepting bribes is real, even if he is showing mercy outside the law.

, it is also about reducing officials to serve the people, which will free up a lot of positions. For so many official positions, you Yue Su must have arranged them all for his own party members. The Queen Mother is already afraid of you. If this happens, won't she become even more afraid of me?

We must rely on more. The three parties in Qi, Chu and Zhejiang have been severely suppressed. The remaining officials will definitely feel the crisis and worry that you will continue to suppress them in the future. They will be walking on thin ice. In order to protect themselves, they will definitely cooperate with me and become one. With their support

With support, coupled with the Queen Mother, I am definitely qualified to compete with you.

Compared with Han Xu's secret joy, Qi Shijiao is worried that he and Han Xu have similar ideas. Yue Su's public trial can be regarded as a plan to kill two birds with one stone. First, it can suppress the power of the three parties in Qi, Chu and Zhejiang.

Yue Dang's officials will also suffer a lot, but Yue Dang will definitely occupy all the positions vacated, in exchange for maximum benefits with minimal losses. After all, after this case is tried, Yue Su's reputation will be at its peak.

Coupled with the status of Minister Tuogu, it is absolutely up to him to arrange who will be replaced in the official position. What to do, the three parties in Qi, Chu and Zhejiang will be unable to move forward in the future.

Zhang Zhenggang was on edge in his heart. He had always admired Yue Su's personal integrity, and his conduct was as upright as his name suggests. Although he was involved in the power vortex, Zhang Zhenggang also had a bottom line in doing things. Zhang Zhenggang

Not confused, he quickly realized that if he did this, he was obviously planning to reshuffle the cards and get rid of a few so-called officials in his own party. First, he would also get rid of the officials from the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang. The vacant positions would be

It’s not up to Mr. Yue to have the final say. Isn’t this a bit too cruel? I didn’t expect Mr. Yue to be so good at fighting for power and profit.

This is Yue Su's excerpt. After the cabinet ministers read it, they must immediately send it to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Zou Yi read the document and couldn't help but tremble with the hand holding the memorial. One of the two documents was what Yue Su requested to return to Beijing for a public trial, and the other was the trial process reported by Wu Sinan, as well as the general summary of what he had previously heard.

Content. The five eunuchs of Xuanfu, Datong, Henan, Shandong, and Huguang are all involved in the case. These five eunuchs all have backstages in the palace, and none of these backstagers accept money. To be honest, eunuchs are the most greedy for money.

, including his Eunuch Zou. Although Zou Yi was not confused about major matters, he could not avoid the common problem of eunuchs.

Shandong Supervisory Army Bai Xiansheng was promoted by Zou Yi himself. Now the case involves Bai Xiansheng. Zou Yi was panicking. Bai Xiansheng had given him a lot of money. Zou Yi understood how the money came from. The people below have their own problems.

He said, but the matter is not serious, just let it go if you open your eyes and close your eyes. But the current case is not a trivial matter, it is the private sale of arms, and what is more terrible is that these arms will still be sold to the Tatars outside the customs. Once found out

It is true that Bai Xiansheng must die, but Bai Xiansheng will not sit still and wait for death. He will definitely drag himself into it and tell him how much money he has been given.

Cold sweat broke out on Zou Yi's head as he thought to himself, if Yue Su escalates the matter, not only the officials of the Manchu Dynasty but also the inner palace will have to undergo a major reshuffle. Liu Mingguo has been coveting my position for a long time.

Yes, push me down, and Liu Mingguo can come on stage. No, I can't sit still and wait for death. Bai Xiansheng must not be alive.

Get rid of Bai Xiansheng, this was the first thought that flashed in Zou Yi's mind. But after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. If Yue Su really wanted to touch him, killing Bai Xiansheng would be useless, but it would cover up the obvious.

He even gave the excuse to kill someone and silence him. He was the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, but if he made any mistakes, it was the emperor who had the final say whether he could be sentenced or removed from his post. Now that the emperor was young, it was the queen mother who had the final say.

Forget it. The Queen Mother is not confused at all. If Bai Xiansheng is killed and silenced, the Queen Mother will immediately think that I did it. It is really not a good impression to give the Queen Mother such an impression. If she pretends to be confused and does not investigate, she will feel that I am not honest enough. If the Queen Mother

If you want to save me, you can still do it without killing Bai Xiansheng. After all, there is no need for any charges whether the Queen Mother removes the eunuch who is the chief ceremonial officer.

Thinking of this, Zou Yi decided not to act like a villain and kill Bai Xiansheng. He quickly went to the Queen Mother to admit his mistake and spit out the money. He was a slave, and he could not hide anything from his master, the Queen Mother, or himself.

There is no benefit at all. To tell the truth, isn't it just taking a bribe? Doesn't the Queen Mother still know about this shortcoming of our eunuchs?

Zou Yi took the memorial and hurried to Cining Palace. When he saw the Queen Mother, he first handed the memorial to the Queen Mother and asked the Queen Mother to read it.

Zhang Yan opened it to take a look. After opening it, Feng Yan was inevitably furious, "It's the opposite. It's really the opposite. They are so brave. I said how could the Tatars enter the border so easily? It turns out that they are the idiots who ignored them."

The emperor's favor enriched their own pockets. How much money the imperial court had to spend in a year to defend the border town, but they didn't expect that all of it was embezzled by them. Kill! No one can be spared lightly. There are also those traitors who are daring to act with the enemy and the country.

We can’t let it go either. Send an order to Yue Su to handle this case seriously!”

"Yes, I obey my orders..." Zou Yi responded quickly and carefully.

"Huh...huh..." Zhang Yan seemed to be too out of breath, and after finishing these words, she gasped repeatedly.

Zou Yi saw this and was worried. He was wondering whether he should plead guilty to Zhang Yan now. But the Queen Mother was angry at the moment. Once he revealed the bribery matter, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire and make him angry again?

It would be terrible to kill him. But then he thought about it and decided not to tell him. He couldn't wait for Yue Su to explain the case clearly and to tell the Queen Mother after the evidence was conclusive.

"Zou Yi..." After a while, Zhang Yan finally calmed down and said in a bad tone: "Have we, the Ming Dynasty, treated them badly? It's shameful for foreign officials. Even the supervisors sent down are bold and reckless.

Daily reports of insufficient military supplies were reported. Unexpectedly, they were asked to buy them privately. If Yue Su had not found out in time, seized the stolen goods from them, and waited for these ordnance to be transported out of the customs and sold to the Tatars, what would the Tatars have done?

It's not that it's more powerful. It even wants to use the weapons of the Ming Dynasty to slaughter the officers, soldiers and people of the Ming Dynasty! The Ai family regrets it. If they had known this, they should have let Yue Su seize his love, stay in the capital, and continue to take charge.

With Yue Su here, there will be no shame of the Tatars herding horses outside Beijing!"

"Yes, yes..." Zou Yi didn't dare to say anything, but responded carefully.

"Okay, the Ai family is tired. You go down. Prepare the decree and send it to Yue Su quickly. By the way, send people from Dongchang to check the supervisory troops in various places for the Ai family!"

"Yes, yes..."

"After this case is over, if something like this happens again to the supervisors from various places, the Ai family will definitely punish you with a crime that is detrimental to supervision. Go down..." After Zhang Yan finished speaking, she waved her hand to Zou Yi.

"thump!"

Zhang Yan just waved her hand to signal Zou Yi to step back, but Zou Yi knelt down directly. Seeing Zou Yi like this, Zhang Yan was not surprised at all, and just said: "Get up, the Ai family knows that the supervisor of the army involved in the case must have someone with you.

It has something to do with it. Since you took over as the Supervisor of Ceremonies, you have been conscientious and conscientious in your responsibilities, and you are not confused about major matters. Let's forget about the past."

"Thank you, Queen Mother..." Seeing what the Queen Mother said, Zou Yi couldn't help but shed tears, kowtowed and said, "This slave deserves to die. Bai Xiansheng was sent to Shandong to supervise the army. Bai Xiansheng was promoted by my slave. Over the years, he has shown great respect to my slave. Now..."

"Okay, Aijia is tired. I don't want to hear this. Go down." Zhang Yan said tiredly.

"Thank you, Queen Mother...I will take my leave..."

The Queen Mother had no intention of pursuing any further investigation. Such kindness was beyond Zou Yi's expectation. He was extremely grateful.

While crying, he slowly exited the palace. When he left, Zhang Yan leaned back on the chair tiredly. As a woman who is not strong, she was too tired to support this country.

She understood that she could not pursue Zou Yi. If Zou Yi was eliminated, there would only be two candidates left to take over as the Superintendent of Ceremonies and Dongchang. One was Liu Mingguo and the other was Cao Huachun. Seeing that these two people seemed to be related to Yue

Sudu is very close. If they have the highest power and then join forces with Yue Su, Yue Su's strength will be too great. Although she always feels ashamed of Yue Su, she also has a trace of fear.

.It’s just that this fear has been reduced a lot compared to before.
