Regarding Shanxi Governor Wang Jiluo, the person who has long become a controversial figure on both sides.

Last time, after being exposed by the Zuodu Censor Wang Ting, Wang Jiluo was reported by Shanxi merchants to seek bribes and be corrupt, which indirectly prompted Lin Qingran to go to Shanxi for investigation.

As the war in Shanxi suddenly broke out, everyone's eyes naturally shifted to this war, but began to fade away this big or small greed case.

Now that the war has ended, Shanxi Governor Wang Jiluo was brought up again, Xu Dang resolutely wanted to continue to seize the greed case and did not intend to miss this opportunity to attack Gao Gong.

As long as Wang Jiluo was confirmed to be corrupt, Gao Gong, the Minister of Personnel, could not escape the blame, and he was already suspected of "reserving nepotism and eliminating dissidents."

When Gao Gong saw the war on his fellow villager Wang Jiluo, he asked hatefully: "Wu Shilai, when will I protect Wang Jiluo?"

Lin Weiran's brows frowned slightly, and glanced at Xu Jie with a warning, realizing that this was a plan for Xu Jie.

The officials in the hall turned their heads and looked at Wu Shilai, but they didn't know why he accused Gao Gong so much.

Wu Shilai looked at the eyes of the officials and said with a look of preparation: "Wang Jiluo was afraid of fighting in the battle of Shanxi, but now Gaoge Lao did not pursue it, but instead rejected other officials who did not obey you. This is not shelter or

What?”

Cowardly in the battle?

Ma Sen and other officials couldn't help but look at each other, but they clearly felt the smell of gunpowder on both sides, and even smelled a scent of blood that was about to spread.

Now, Wu Shilai no longer attacked Wang Jiluo, but instead attacked Wang Jiluo's mistakes in the war. Compared with Gan Mo, this cowardly battle in the face of battle is undoubtedly more serious, and Wang Jiluo even lost his head.

"I am promoting the administration of officials and everything is fair and decisive! As for whether Wang Jiluo is afraid of the battle, it is too early to conclude, and everything has to be decided by the emperor!" Gao Gong's voice remained unabated, and he responded with a righteous and stern voice.

When Longqing heard that he wanted to make a decision, he felt relieved and couldn't help but swallow and spit.

"Altan led 60,000 cavalry south, but Shanxi Governor Wang Jiluo stopped in Daizhou and allowed the Tartars to rob him all the way to Shizhou. What's wrong with this?" Wu Shilai had already bitten Wang Jiluo tightly.

But he asked loudly.

Lin Xuran looked at Wu Shilai's performance and turned his head thoughtfully to look at Xu Jie.

He finally understood why Xu Jie wanted to ask for me as soon as he came up. It was neither out of good intentions nor to push the emperor to "give merits" to him to cut off his future, but to lay the groundwork for attacking Wang Jiluo.

Xu Jie set the tone of "rewarding merits and punishing merits" with the great victory in Shanxi. Since he, a meritorious minister, should be rewarded, Wang Jiluo would be punished.

During the war in Shanxi, Shanxi Governor Wang Jiluo went north from Taiyuan, but missed it perfectly with the Mongolian cavalry army. Then he did not lead the army south to suppress the enemy, but chose to wait and see in Daizhou.

When the war became clear, Wang Jiluo did not lead his troops to the western front, but chose to return to Taiyuan City to meet him, but missed his opponent.

During the war in Shanxi, Wang Jiluo not only did not make any achievements, but he also did not even go to the front line. He was resolutely a thorough bystander.

It is precisely because of Wang Jiluo's poor performance in the war, it is not too much for Xu Dang to label Wang Jiluo as "cowardly in the face of battle".

"Wu Shi, you can't just think that Wang Jiluo was afraid to fight in the face of battle just because Wang Jiluo did not go into battle!" Gao Gong's face darkened, and he still defended his fellow villager.

Ma Sen and other officials were unable to decide who was right and who was wrong for a while, but they turned their attention to Wu Shilai again.

Before Wu Shilai could speak, Xu Jie bowed to Longqing and said, "Your Majesty Lin presided over the war in Shanxi at that time. He was the clearest about Wang Jiluo's affairs. Let's listen to Master Lin's opinions!"

Longqing's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately said with a good word: "Yuan Fu is right, Master Lin, you know the most, but I don't know what you think?"

Zhu Heng and other Lin Party officials realized that Xu Jie was malicious and could not help but look at Lin Yanran worriedly.

Guo Pu also realized Xu Jie's conspiracy and looked at Lin Qingran worriedly. Once Lin Qingran put Wang Jiluo to death for justice, he would directly harm Gao Gong, and the relationship between the two sides would probably become rigid.

Lin Qingran saw the war on him instantly, and sighed helplessly, and bowed slowly to Long Qing and said, "Reporting to the emperor, I don't know how to judge whether Wang Jiluo is afraid of the battle.

Conduct a discussion!"

Although he personally did not like Wang Jiluo, he had to consider Gao Gong's feelings. Now Xu Dang is using Wang Jiluo to make trouble. Even if he doesn't lend a helping hand to Gao Gong, he can't take the blame at this time.

Especially when Wang Jiluo was in the environment at that time, facing the 60,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Altan himself, choosing not to fight was probably the choice of many officials.

Now, he cannot put Wang Jiluo to death, but he cannot overwhelm Wang Jiluo, who is afraid of fighting, and pushing him to the collective discussion is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Mr. Lin, you are so afraid of offending others. This is not your style! Could it be that Mr. Gao is just pretending to be stupid here?" Dong Chuance looked at Lin Junran and wanted to stay out of the matter, but he was talking about it with a thorny look.

Said.

this……

Although the officials in the hall guessed that this might be a fact, Dong Chuance's words were too unpleasant.

"You were ordered to impeach Master Yan and were exiled to serve as a guard. Now that you have just returned to the court, have you not learned a lesson yet? Is it because you were sent to bite Master Yan again?" Lin Weiran's face darkened and he immediately retorted and said with a whisper.

.

Compared with Dong Chuance's aggressive approach, Lin Qingran seemed more accustomed.

Dong Chuance was instructed by Xu Jie to impeach Yan Song, but was exiled to Guangxi as a guard and returned to the new dynasty of Longqing. But everyone knew that he was Xu Jie's lackey.

"Someone won't teach you a lesson!"

"I'm just a doctor, do you think I'm a censor?"

"Prince Lin has always been calm and steady in his work, so what does it have to do with you!"

...

Yang Futian and others obviously started to mock Dong Chuance when facing this troublemaker.

After all, Dong Chuance's current identity can no longer participate in the court struggles like this. It is even more of a humiliation to use provocation to Lin Qingran.

Dong Chuance's aggressive method did not work at all. Instead, Lin Weiran exposed the scars and was ridiculed by people around him. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground.

Xu Jie originally wanted to get rid of the relationship between Gao Gong and Lin Qinran through Wang Jiluo's affairs, but he didn't expect Lin Qinran would not be trapped at all. He asked unwillingly: "Gemaster Lin, you are responsible for investigating Wang Jiluo. Isn't you really nothing?"

The officials in the hall looked at Lin Qingran, but did not forget that Lin Qingran went to Shanxi last time, and was investigating the case of corruption in Shanxi Governor Wang Jiluo before he was ordered.

Lin Qingran looked serious in the face of Xu Jie's inquiry and bowed to Longqing: "Emperor, after investigation, Shanxi Jin merchants bribed officials and spent a lot of money to win over local officials. According to my knowledge, Liu Guangyu, the governor of Pingyang, took office.

Soon, he received as much as 30,000 taels of silver from Shanxi merchants!"

"Pingyang Prefect? ​​Thirty thousand taels?"

"Be good, this Shanxi merchant is really rich!"

"Who can't be greedy if he spends money like this?"

...

When the officials in the hall heard that a small prefect actually took office, they received such huge sums of money, and they also whispered to each other, but pointed the finger at the wealthy Shanxi merchants.

Huh?

Gao Gong was also silently shocked when he heard this amount.

Long Qing also did not expect that a small prefect could get so much money. It was a huge difficulty for him to let the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 100,000 taels of silver into the internal warehouse, and there was also a new financial resources of Shanxi merchants.

Understanding.

Seeing that everyone was led by Lin Junran, Xu Jie shifted the focus from Wang Jiluo to Shanxi merchants, and immediately stood up and said, "George Lin, you are hereby investigate whether Wang Jiluo is greedy. The matter of the magistrate of Pingyang can tolerate the future.

Let’s discuss it again!”

"Uh, yes, is Wang Jiluo greedy?" Long Qing was shocked by the 30,000 taels just now, and asked curiously.

Ma Sen and other officials looked at Lin Qingran curiously. Gao Gong also felt that the situation might be different from his thoughts, and turned his head nervously to look at Lin Qingran.

Out of trust in Wang Jiluo, he once defended Wang Jiluo. However, the Shanxi merchant's method of spending money made him shaken in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether Wang Jiluo was really greedy.

Once Lin Qingran takes out Wang Jiluo's evidence of greed, he may be under tremendous pressure.

When Huo Ji saw Gao Gong and others' nervous appearances, he looked at Xu Jie secretly with admiration, and then gloatingly looked at Lin Qingran.

Lin Xuran faced the eyes of everyone, but suddenly knelt down and apologized: "Your Majesty, I was ordered to investigate Wang Jiluo. I originally wanted to continue to investigate, but Shanxi was suddenly invaded by the Tartars, so I had to turn my energy to the war.

This time, the emperor cannot complete the emperor's heavy trust, so I will ask the emperor to punish him!"

Shameless!

Xu Jie looked at Lin Weiran with this banner and couldn't help but curse him hatefully.

"Your Majesty, Master Lin puts national security first and is even more likely to be defeated by the thief. Please don't punish Master Lin!" Seeing this, Zhu Heng immediately knelt down and pleaded.

"Your Majesty, Master Lin puts national security first, please do not punish Master Lin!" More than half of the officials in the hall knelt down immediately and pleaded for Master Lin.

this……

Wang Ting and others looked at the scene, but they couldn't help but roll their eyes silently. Not to mention that Lin Qingran made unparalleled achievements, his approach alone would be without any pickiness. Long Qing had no reason to punish Lin Qingran.

"I know that Master Lin has worked hard for national affairs, so please get up quickly!" Long Qing naturally did not dare to punish Lin Qingran, and immediately expressed his opinion.

Lin Qingran also hypocritically thanked Longqing, and then took the initiative seriously and said: "Your Majesty, although I failed to investigate Wang Jiluo's corruption case during this trip, I have already found out that bribery has become a trend for Shanxi merchants, especially many Shanxi merchants have close contacts with Bai Lian!

I beg the emperor to send capable ministers to Shanxi for a thorough investigation and to capture all the evildoers in one go!”

Zhang Juzheng saw this scene and looked at Lin Qingran thoughtfully.

Lin Weiran led Wang Jiluo's case to the Greedy Mo's case, and even more to the Shanxi merchants and the Bailian Sect, but it was very clever. This move not only successfully dismantled his teacher's offensive, but also naturally burned the Shanxi Gang.

But I have to admit that when it comes to political struggle ability, this Master Lin is indeed not inferior to his teacher.

"Gemaster Lin, who do you think is suitable?" Long Qing saw that the other officials did not stand up to stop him, and just followed the truth.

Lin Junran already had a candidate in his heart, and immediately said seriously: "When the former minister was the Minister of Revenue, Hai Rui was guarding the Chongwenmen tax official. Now he wants to investigate Shanxi's traitors, so he can send this person to!"

"I object! Hai Rui is just a juren, how can he take on this great task!"

"Yes, Hai Rui has neither official position nor prestige, but it is not appropriate to send him there!"
